CnaC as nelp ana assistance, then we agree.
The colored man Of this country is Of the
asme temperament as the white man, and
the only reason that he is not Of the same
constructability as the white is because the
latter, being overwhelmingly in the majority,
do more to prevent the colored man from
progressing than to assist him. The colored
man needs neither pity nor sympathy, but
let severely alone.
President Wilson, in his recent wireless
message to Congress is trying to place
prohibition edict, which will take
effect July 1 next, on to the Republicans
Woodrow Wilson is certainly great
president, especially when it comes to
pulling political potatoes out of the fire
with the other fellows hand. If the Re-
publicans are wise, they will have nothing
to do with Wilson's dry program. In other
words, if Wilson did the hiring, then let
Wilson do the firing. We hope, politics to
the contrary Notwithstanding, that the
country will go bone dry July LIST, as has
been fully arragned for.
That judge of the Superior Court at
Wenachee, Washington, who made that
anti-divOrce speech from the bench the
other day, and yet granted the usual grist
OF divorces, breaches one thing and prac-
tises another. It was Ben Butler who said
the way to resume is to resume, and
applying this principle, the way to fight
divorce procedure is to fight it. But the
judge, from our viewpoint is wrong If
man and wife find it impossible to agree
them they should agree to disagree and
the sooner they are legally separated the
better for both as we'll the community in
which they reside
The stories which DR.. E. j. Brown is
causing to be printed in the Star, ought to
make the chief of police set up and take
notice. Either DR.. Brown has criminally
libeled Chief Warren or he has told the
TRUTH If the former, the chief should
cause him to be arrested and tried for the
crime. If the latter, then mum is the word
for Chief Warren. We have no interest in
the controversy, but we rise to remark,
peace officers should not thus be ta]kei
about unless true, and in that case they
should cease to be peace officers
Public debates as to whether Frederick
Douglas was a greater leader than Booker
II. Washington is to our minds devoid of
beneficial results Their lives were not
contemporaneous and whatever prominence
each attained as leader or forerunner was
done so by travelling along different routes
Both gave their all that the world might be
better and their memories should not be
beclouded in the minds of the living by
discrediting their efforts.
The reply Of the Bocehs is nearing COM
pletion and will doubtless be in the hands
Of the Allies by the time this issue of
Cayton's Weekly is in the hands of it's
readers, all of which is wasted wind.
Bitter or sweet, fellows, you ahve got to
take it and making ugly faces will do no
good You bought the dirty dose and now
you have to pay for it. Take your medi-
cine and die like men.
Stump speaking seems to be weakness
Of the colored mana nd wrangling in
public meetings his delight. ct am agin
everything I am not for" forcibly ex-
claimed a colored man who was given to
opposing everything that came up in a
public meeting. One may derive great
deal Of personal amusement out of such, but
it's always at the expense of the people.
