SUPERIORITY. WELL WHO IS
SUPERIoR7
By DIR. N. A. MAJORS

Our progress is ike a prairie fire
and we are moving at q very rapid
eanter. Our racial growth, and devel-
opment is secure. We win remain
eternally Negroid, and as we develop
and occupy greater and stronger pO-
sitiOns, our racial type becomes form
liable, and our nationality as to "a
eial composition becomes the more
impregnable. The cruel usage Of
horrible tyranny has not even made a
dent upon our escutcheon. The vaih
prophets who predicted our anihila-
ton are dead, and their ideas held
concerning MS only go to show the
poverty Of the age which could sus-
tain such foreboding conjeetures
There are people to day 50 blamed
ignorant of what we are, and our
capabilities that they disgrace the
foolish notion of their racial super
iOrity.
Superiority in what? In the higher
neaehes of the human soul? No.
Superiority in the degradation of hu-
man conduct. Yes.
The time was not, and is not yet
when the Negro could be condemned
for inventing crime.
Every low and defending note Of
human diseOrd is but the diapason
sounded upon the human nature key
board. long before Negroes were
transplanted from Africa. The eata-
IOuge Of infamy and human dspravity |
existed long before the Negro made
his first attempt to ape the sO-ealled
civilization Of the western hsmi-
sphere.
And, yet, in spite of what devilish
ugly things we have learned to do we
suffer the disadvantages Of facility to
ever put into practice the horrible
force Of human degeneraey. such Is
