THE RACE INFERIOR.

Our souls are white, our faces black
yet we must trod the beaten track OF
what the other races term, the race
inferior.
Yet why we are SO caIicd, cannot
see Did that same God who did create
man, in His own image designate the
negro race inferior.
The preamble to the Constitution
reads:
All men are created free ard equal
and have certain inaIlenaule rlgnrs.'
Therefore what rights we do possess
must be considered alien.
There are those who started out to
solve the "Negro problem, some OF
these segregate. Others say amalga-
mate. Still Others say to colonize the
race. We who from colony and place
were forced to serve as bondmen for
the other race.
And will our deeds of valor be for
gotten.
We who for democracy have fought
and helped to win, or will we still re-
main in dire plight. AS Aliens to the
cause of just and right.-Mrs. Lewis

Council is looked for by all who are

he believes will be of benefit to the
Majority Of the people, and not to any
special interest He has many times in

ability and has the nerve and will
to do what he believes to be right at

NO EXCUSE FOR

Not Women's Fault if T. H. Booth of
Walpole, N. H, Fails to Get Wife
Many Applications.

New England women will not be 10
blame il T. II. Booth. the Walpole, y.
H., farmer, Is not successful in his quest
for wife, says the Boston Sunday Post
His offer of an attractive home for the
right woman which was published in the
Post, plus the leap year spirit, Is bring
ing scores OF women to the foot OF the
tree OF matrjmonv; all very eager, it
would seem, to pluck of the fruit.
All that remains for Mr. Booth now
is TO make his selection and then let
the other lonesome men in on those who
arc lett over. And, while there are many
applicants for the position of Mrs. Booth.
there are practically an equal number of
the male sex who are looking for part
ners. SO if Mr.. Booth comes through in
the right style, very few should be alone
or lonely.
The latest in the line of answers to
his appeal for wife comes in the form
Of mother in law who makes the offer
in the name Of her daughter in law. But
this woman seems to be of the opinion
that the chances in Vermont are better
| than those in New Hampshire, for she
wants her letter sent to the West Wind
sor man who wrote for some OF the names
that Mr. Booth could not use. She saws
in part; "If You arc "a honest man as
your letter sounds wish you would write
TO my sons widow She has been alone
for seven years, and ! have heard her
say she would give anything if she had a
home again. She is entirely alone il
