gave advice free, 80 he wrote for advice, and
in very short time we were very thankful
that he did, because the first half bottle of

much that I was able to raise my head from

able to sleep. Then the sores commenced
to heal and knew that had started on

The Color Question.
The Saturday Evening Posts Solution

The Saturday Evening Posts Solution
Of late the nation has been dis
graced by savage clashes between
white and blacks. Everybody knows
that old sore. When one man is
distinguished from another by skin
of different color or by other
mraks of racial difference there is al
ways prima- face ground for quar-
rel, wehther the men are white and
black in America or Hebrew and
Slav in Russia. It is big problem in
the United States.
How should we deal with it? By
preaching race consciousness? By
teaching whites and blacks that there
is an inherent, irreconciable enmity
between them which must be fought
out to a finish and that one can rise
only as the other falls? By doing
all we konw to bet them to hate and
distrust each other? In short, by
dealing with the differences between
employers and employees?
Everybody knows that is not the
way. Everybo.. should know that
teaching class division, hate and dis
trust is no more serviceable in one
case than in the other.

JOSEPH WASHINGTON MOORE.

The subject of this article was
born a slave in Winchester, Virginia.
1910, and was emancipated with his
parents in 1916, then moved to
Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and came
to Chicago in 1856. He has resided
in Chicago continuously since leaving
Pennsylvania with the exception of
the few years that he spent in college
at Fisk University, and has been ac-
lively identified with Chicago's poll
teal and social life.
Mr. Joseph Moore, is brother
of Richard Moore, who was mem
toned in previous sketch and like
his brother is one of the hardy pio-
neers who made his way from the
farm to high position. He also worked
for the American Express Company
for forty years starting as porter
and finished as a clerk in the money
order department after finishing
clerkships in many of the minor
divisions.
The life history of this subject like
that of his brother is filled with much
romance and he recites many pleas
ant incidents of the days of old
Chicago and its pioneer colored cit
izen, which, if put in print would
read like chapter from ''the makers
of worlds history"
The progress manifested by our
people in the COS up to the early
1900's was in measure much greater
than now; at that period our increase
of colored population was drawn en-
tirely from that class of colored men
and women who came here with the
express purpose of doing something
to bring their race up from the
depths, and they represented the very
best types of industry and culture.
We had most excellent home COM
munities and maintained social SER
vice organizations for the promotion
of the welfare of race. We made it
a practice to get in close touch with
all newcomers of the race-and see
to it that they were employed and
properly housed. We also kept in
touch with the sick and needy and
when we found them in want we
never allowed them to become public
burdens, this work was followed so
