GETTING ONES SELF I'M
cRowED.

There is lot of the spirit of Texas
Tennessee and Georgia in Chicago
You can see it on the street cars. in
cheap cafes run by poor whites, IN
some of the movie theatres, and in
most all of the theatres in the loop.
Some time ago, Mr.. Bert Williams
was here with a white company and
every one knows that he Is the head
liner IN any show. We were informed
that segregation was practiced in the
Studebaker theatre, and we could not
justify our going 20 see him at the
sacrifice of our manhood. Recently
Mr.. Giipin in the role of Emperor
Jones, was at theatre down in the
loop and the same old white Southern
spirit was at high tide. but nothing
daunted. our representative big ones
crowded there to see Mr.. GiIpin at the
expense Of all Of our noblest quaIi6-
cations.
We can not get very far at the game
of gratifying morbid curiosity by
submerging our race manhood, taking
the cheapest seats set apart for those
who are the accredited inferior ele-
ment, nor by allowing ourselves to be
colonized. and segregated The spirit
among us to tolerate the cheap no
tons of any people who would deny
our race the equal accommodation,
and facility accorded others merely on
the pretext of a white skin is to be
discredited, discouraged and con-
demned. 1t is never good form nor
good grace to lend ones self to any
scheme that has in It for him humil-
istion and degradation. If any special
part Of theatre is to be consigned
to the Negro, it IS not showing kind
ly spirit to the Negro patron, nor is
the Negro doing himself any good in
taking what is set apart for him as
race IN this great state of Illinois.
Of course we will always have. the
the unthoughtful, and the
easy pleased Negro with US, who feels
delighted to be at the tail end of the
white mans procession. Anxious to
be where the other people are, with
no thought of the ugly prejudices |
ever operating against him as a man,
to be moderated and the rest
Of it. Now what can we do to change
this state of affairs? In Philadelphia,
New York and Washington the Negro
OF these cities has revolted |
and the happy results are that they
have built their own opera houses. !
This is the spirit. that is going to bring
US up to the standard, and help to re-
deem us from the obliquy and humili-
alton which we have but too willingly
accepted
As race, We have grievances too
numerous to mention. Indeed, there
should not be any at all in a land that
sets forth the truest principles Of rights
n the very preamble Of its eonstitu-
lion, and then cowardly nullihes these
rights when they appertain to the Ne
gro race. A race that has given its

The challenge has come from At
RIGA for the Christians of the world
particularly the colored people of
America-to rise up and help Africa.
There are 100000 people in South
