With the exception of the years Of

tungsten brought a horde Of wealth

Harb,nuer of War Fable.

Since ancient days the locust has
been the flying wing of superstition.
People forget from 1912 till 1919 that
the locust has markings on his wings
which carry a distinct letter w, which,
when noticed. usually results in many
stories that war is at hand, the letter
W being supposed to stand for the
word, war. But the hallacy Of such
a superstition is in itself evident from
the fact that the word for war In
French does not begin with W, nor

THE DEVILS FOOTPRINTS
By DR.. M. A. Majors

Kept on the jump by your
dam prejudices, here and there
and everywhere l turn,is it any
wonder that the Negro can not
think outside of his race, and
environment?
This is putting a question squa
rely against the proposition of an
insane color prejudice.
The Negro is not insipid, up
startish nor contemplate. 1t is
the only manner he has to show
to other people that he is not
grinning a idiot, an agreeable
fool, nor overcome with emotion
when some white person is decent
enough to threat him like a real
human being.
Notice on street car, or any
where the funny silly way the
poor whites emphasize that they
feel themselves too good to sit
by a respectable colored person
The indignity is not only insult
ing, it is uncalled for. They turn
away from you as if you were a
bear or gorilla; and as if they
had something the great God had
beauethed to them alone.
Yet in spite of this all but hell
we are living in, some NANCY
little ours of another race would
dare to make themselves uncha-
ritable because of their own lack
Of some high principles which |
they fearfully need to be as good
as the colored people to whom
they exhibit such rude behavior.
The time is long past when
can consign the Negro
to a restricted limitation, be-
cause he has a dark skin.
Many of the eolored men one
meets has been to Harvard, Yale,
Oberlin, Amherst, Williams, Lin

lies, and it is just as true of
many of our eolored women.
Many of the colored men one
comes in contact with could
write a check for ten or twenty
thousand dollars and have it ho-
nored at any of the large banks.
Often we are led to. pity the
