CAIN AGAINST HIS

CAIN AGAINST HIS
BROTHER ABEL.
To the Editor OF The Evening Jour
nal:
sir. Il Is not like Il was in
the days Of old-to slay your
brother through jealousy; but he to-
day Of the best. and let not malice
be your motive. The Bible In it's
most holy words says Thou shall
not kill." Thou shall not bear false
witness against thy neighbor." But
Il has come TO pass that this poiiu-
cal strife is engendering such dras-
tic Ideas.
n we would look for the interest
OF the people and let this political
entangiement vanish. then the peo-
pie would get better results. As 90
the one Negro member OF the Board
OF Education II he were looked
upon as a genial man then there
would be more harmony among the
so-called political leaders.
Let not your personal grievances
be instillcd into the minds OF the
wcll-thinking people Of this great
commonwealth and the community
we live In.
Let not your personal feeling in
iure the good results that have been
rendered by that most worthy per
son. Dr Conwell Banton. He has
given his most untirInE efforts to
make our colored schools what they
are today.
I think II the writer OF the article
that was published In the Advocate
last Friday would have his or her
character questioned there would
not be another such attack on tho
personality OF Dr. Banton.
II the public will allow such ar
ticles 90 be published. or heed them
then what will become Of our younr
generation that g. coming? So
would say TO that writer. BE care
ful In your next writing that you
don't go 30 deep. for the eyes OF the
community are ON YOU. and your
hand writing is on the wall"
