FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT
Granger, Tex. Times)

Granger, Tex, Times)
No one of reasonable mind would
for minute detract from the hon
ors cast upon members of the Negro
race who fought for the American
Nation. They should be so recog-
nized for their gallantry and war ac-
tivity. But it is quite another thing
for members of the white race to
mingle freely with them and accept
them on the same racial grounds.
Familiarity breeds contempt Espe-
cially is this true when there is so
cial amalgamation of the white and
black race
