NOT AS BAD AS PICTURED

NOI AS BAL A0 F1O1 OhGO
Under the nom de plume of Critical OBJ
server, a young white woman contributes
the following article to the Daily Baltimore
American:
American white women for decades have
been blindfolded and duped as to the colored
man. The colored man has been held up be-
fore our eyes as a lustful and vicious Great
ture. AS consequence, great masses OF us,
through lack of individual experience, and
because of ignorance of literature and sta
tstics, bearing on the truth OF the case,
have come to believe the unWarranted and
unfounded charge against the colored man
as GLASS; But the undeniable rock-bottom
truth is that coored men are no more prone
to commit heinous crimes against women
than are other men, If there be any doubt
of the truth Of this statement let them make
a comparative study of the statistics bearing
on lecherous crimes against women and their
doubts will vanish. The result Of the COM
parison will be in favor of the colored man.
If 7 were to publish the figures [ have on
my desk I would startle my readers. Colored
men in other countries such as Canada,
Central America, South America, West In
dies and Africa are not pictured as the arch
assailants of women In fact, it is said that
the attitude of the native African toward
women is superior in point of decency to
that OF men in most highly cultured coun-
tries When I am told that the colored
man is so lustfully inclined, I ask why it is
that there are 100000 mulattoes in the
United States and that this number yearly
increases? White men tremble before this
question: They know they are responsible.
Yet many Of them are always telling us
women about ''Negro rapists.' In the
South, my native home, where there is the
loudest cry about race separation and
"white purify the greatest mingling of
white men and colored women takes place.
The South is the garden spot of mulattoes.
Of course I am intelligent enough to
know the reason for this denunciation of
the colored man. One of the objects is to
keep the gap as wide as possible between the
white women and the colored man. But why
is there little or no effort to widen the gap
between the white and the cOlOred
woman? Why are our men not punished
for intimate relations with colored women?
MOI This would interfere with the white
mans social freedom. Yet they arrogate
unto themselves the right Of supreme dicta-
tor as to the race or color Of men with
whom we must or must not mingle, while
they will brook no interference as to the
race or color of women with whom they
mingle and become intimate" :"
This thing of preserving the purity of the
white race by lynching colored men who
cohabit, and even outrage, if you please
with white women and yet those self same
white men return from the scenes of their
bloody works to the beds Of their colored
concubnes from which unholy allionces mil
lions of half caste children have been
brought into existence, many of whom have
invaded the ranks of the white people, seems
most peculiar way Of protecting the purity
of the white race. The fact of the matter is

the white race is as badly mongrel as the
black race and is daily growing worse.

kAMRAR Store
IS ROBBED
Guy C. Jaycox General Store
Entered by Thieves
Saturday Night
Sometime.
HOUNDS ON TRAIL
Only Small sum of Money
and Couple Hundred
Cigars Taken.

The Guy C. Jaycox general store at
Kamrar was broken into some time Sat
urday night and a small sum of money
and a couple hundred cigars stolen. AS
yet the burglars have not been appre'
hended.
Sheriff William Meekins was notified
land secured hounds from Waterloo
which were taken to Kamrar this morn
ing in an effort to trace the robbers,
The hounds picked up the trail at the
back door Of the store, but after follow
ing it for several blocks, lost the scent.
Evidently the culprits had entered an
automobile or buggy at that place, Off
Gals believe.
Mr.. Jaycox usually has a consider
able sum of money on hand Saturday
evenings after closing time, but instead
Of leaving it in the safe in his store,
takes it to his home with him. The
burglars, it is believed, had expected to
secure this large sum of money, for
the safe had been broken into. As it
was, only the small sum, about 100 pen
MES and a few dimes, was taken and
the rest of the haul was made in cigars.
The store had been entered through
a window which is above a shed at the
back of the building. A ladder had been
used in reaching the top of the shed.
the window pane had been broken and
the thieves had entered the main store
room.
No clue was left and Mr.. Jaycox has
no reason to suspect anyone in particn-
lar.
