q newspaper reporter for an opin-
ion. He said: THE Colored man
down south who lives in the city,
y making living; but the one who
lives in the country is making mon
ey." This Is true. The city Colored
man is going II little too strong on

the country Colored man is buying

Here's white man of education,

gets mad because he is asked to
remove his hat before entering the

because she is a member sof the

Where Is the LOrdY


| was on train the other day,
and wanted something to eat and
/ asked the Colored porter what
were the chances. He said: Sorry
to say, Mister, nothin' doin.'" While
we were talking a Mexican Greaser,
heather Chinee, Jabbering Japa-
nee, an unspeakable Turk, a hated
Cd Hun and a non-English- speak
ing, onion-scented Dago, all passed
me on their way to the diner, where
they were served with southern
white men and women, who hate
Negroes only. And then l fell a.
thinking. l could not help think of
those dark days for the white south
away back in the SOS when the
men who wore the gray, were away
on the field of courage, were forced
to leave their families and their all
to the tender solicitude of the slave;
and how, when these men returned
from striving for cause which was
lost; they found our fathers had
been true to their trust and the
white families were safe. / could
not help thinking that the white men
who control the South today and
make it very hell for the Negro
are the babies of that frightful pc
riod.
l could not help thinking of all
the things we have done for these
white men in the half century of
peace. And finally, l thought of our
foreign war, SO lately closed, and
how these black men in the living
present, waded to hell through shot
and shell to snatch civilization from
the NAV of DEATH! And now to
see, the white South envenomed and
more bitter than ever, more determin-
ed to stop our progress from every
angle, / must confess myself baffled!
Is there God? If so, where is he?
Can he help? These and questions
like these forever coming yelling
up to choke me.
