THE JEALOUS SPIRIT MANI
FEST.
By D. A Majors

Prof Elliott, OF Harvard, regard
themselves absolutely sound mentally
while all the rest of us are out Of in
stitutions for the insane because
there isn't any room there for as.
We were speaking Of jealousy being
symptom of craziness. II is, and
everyone afflicted with jealousy is
rendered mentally imperfect. 1t is
inspired by the most foolish and the
most outrageous things. A great
many people we know are very ieal-
Gus and sometimes they are very
crazy. They are entirely oblivious
of there being the slightest thing the
matter with them.
Edison thinks college men are fail
ures; of course, il Edison was a
college man this form of jealous rage
would have never been shown. Prof
Elliott is jealous of the big men in
the legal profession because many Of
the ablest men in America today
came from some little college, or
just simply some high school Prof.
Elliott believes a man can only be-
come great by going through Har-
ward college lincoln and Douglass
didn't go through any college at all
Some of the overrated little folks,
mistaken for big folks, show a GER
tain cunning and bravado and yet the
very mainsprings of their lives is the
busy occupation of piling up blocks
and distractions in the path of some
real man or woman. Doing their
dodgasted to wreak vengeance, or
bring into disrepute, those who show
by their every action that they are
all but Godsent
We were over thirty years of age
before we consistently appreciate and
believe there was a hell. We firmly
believe there is such a place and we
have located in the heart, brain, ard
backbone and, sometimes it is found
in the heel of some contemplate in
dividual who is suffering a seizure of
convulsive jealousy of the life and the
good deeds of others.
Great nature intended that they
should thrive on far less than a glut-
tonous appetite shall crave and by
hook and crook they have camou-
tagged themselves into certain ques-
tionable phases of prosperity by
STOPPING to things out of the COM
mon road to destiny. There the king
of jealousy sits upon his Infamous
throne and boards of people who do
not know the Cheap guy" attributes
of his devilship.
There is a bunch of satellites of
this barbaric group, who. because
they have lived in Chicago all or most
of their lives, that everybody COM
ing into great Chicago to take up
their abode should be disregarded,
DISTRACTED or given a bad
name if they do not join the crazy
and jealous enraged high-brow group,
which is composed of seductionsists,
pimps, jailbirds, a few prostitutes,
gamblers, women sustained by the
destruction of others, and a great
number of pretty yellow bastards
and other very good folk; some well
10 do. and others to do well only by
This bunch of society
bugs would frown down the great
ness of Dunbar. OF Dunbar they |
we're jealous, besides, God neglected |
10 make Dunbar a yellow bastard,
Ind so our greatest poet almost died
n obseurity.
Some of the aristocratic gentry can
well recall the days of the nickel
glass of beer and a free lunch. Some
Of them are not so insanely jealous |
10 remember some very good look
ing people who used to feed them
when they were trying to get pro-
fessional education. This writer has
also the pedigree of a disciple of
Blackstone, whose fancy smile and
black locks would almost bespeak for
him the gentleman that he is not.
He is one of the whitewashed gang
whose record of seduction among
servant girls at one time alarmed
the community. The outcast makes
no pretention and you need not be
mistaken. But here we have in Chi
cago a bunch of damnable neophytes
cutting up. and slashing the names of
obseurity. who are no cheap spot
light Aashers.
For race development, race
culture, religion and intelli-
genee the Negro from the south who
has chosen Chicago to live in within
the last fifteen years are our sole
Here and there is a
CLEAN and a spark and sprig of
and for wealth the people
from the south Of course, If the
Negro Of the north came from the
south he would not be jealous and he
would think differently of the south
We long for the formation and the
perpetuation Of society among as.
