ANOTHER PROPHET GONE AsTRAY

Louise Meyers MofoQlJn cOnJrlDuIeu d
letter on "To Solve the Racial Problem'
in recent issue Of the Chicago Daily
News, which is in some respects satisfying
and in some respects disappointing. The
writer manifests interest in the Negro and
wihses him we'll, but with characteristic
Anglo.Saxon egotism dogmatizes and lays
down the law upon things she knows COM
paratively little about.
When Madam Meredith says, "Negroes
have brains, " "Give them a chance to func-
tion.'' ''Fresh from slavery, for a genera
ton or so they needed the close example
of white people, now they need to strike
out for themselves" she gave expression to
a thought that we have long emphasized.
Then she goes on to say, "Instead of OBJ
iectng to segregation they ought to crave
a district or state or a country of their
own, not through sense of being showed
off by white people, but through a desire
to Get away from strife and friction and to
cultivate their natural characteristics to
create their own institutions and commerce
and laws" This conclusion we have also
emphasized But we differ decidedly from
the writer's premises.
We dissent from both the writer's maj
and minor premises "White people have
examined fully. They understand that in
dustrial and civic equality will lead straight
as a running brook to social equality, and
and some deep, inexplicable instinct within
them cries that white and black shall not
mix That is the writer's major premise.
Why do we dissent from it? Madam
Meredith knows that it does not apply
between white and black She knows that
she does not invite home to dinner every
one she sees who rides in the same trolley
car, railroad car or steamboat that she rides
in or every one who eats in the same restau-
rant or ice cream parlor that she does or
attends the same theatre that she does. We
once worked in factory. Americans,
Irishmen, Swiss, Jews. Russians, Polacks,
Italians and Negroes worked together in
the same room? We had cordial relations
as a workman with several of the employees.
But we don't recall being invited to any
social function by any Of the employees,
black or white, and we don't recall invit-
ing any of the employees, black or white, to
break bread with us.
The amusing thing is that the section of
the country which howls the most about
the races mixing is the very section where
the races do mix and have mixed. Else
how came so many mulattoes, quadroons or
octoroons in the country? The Bourbon
of the South would mt object to an un-
tutored Negro travelling with him as
valet but he would raise kick against
a colored graduate of Yale or Harvard or
Oxford or Cambridge or Berlin or Leipsic
riding in the same Pullman with him. A
Southern lady would not object to having
a Negro travel over the country with her
as maid or nurse for her child, but would
raise strenuous objection to a cultured and

But what Of him unknown TO fame for

Yea, what Of him in unknown grave

Weep not, dear heart, for him who DIES

He sleeps beneath more tender skies

And blossoms tremhle DER his head as

Last Night'sD Dreams
What They Mean
DID you DREAM OF ACTORS?

COMETIMES in our excursions into
the company of actors or actresses, or

VcrSing with them. This the mXSticS
regard as a very Favorable omen; one
which fOretells success In whatever
enterprise you have set your heart on.
But if YOU dream that you, yourself.
are an actor. or actress, much hard
work and many obstacles are before
YOU all Of which obstacles, however,
YOU will overcome by persistent effort.
Women are advised not to dream that
they are TO marry an actor for If they
do their pet ambition will not be real
iZed.
As TO how a man should treat an
actress whom he meets in the realm
Of dreams the myStics are not agreed.
Some say that if you dream that you
make love to an actress all your fu-
ture life will be joyful while Others
declare that for a single man TO dream
this signifies that he is going to have
d lONtI - uudlItl Will HIS sweet
heart. and for a married man that he
is in for a row with his wife. Accept.
ing the latter Interpretation dream life
and actual life would seem, IN this re-
Spect, to be closely akin.
Freud's dictum that every dream is
the fulfillment Of q wish is easy
enough TO accept with regard 10 this
