Instead of being great philanthopists.

No class has suffered more from the

than the colored people and their me-

the role of public mendicants and have
begged for money to organize j1mcrow

WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS.

Some members of the Episcopal

a fund of $1,0OO,000 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they

TALK YOUR WORK UP.

beg Of you, do not talk your
work down. You cannot build it up
by talking it down. If you cannot
talk it up, for gracious sake keep
still and say nothing.
We don't have much trouble about
what we don't say. If you must tell
your troubles to someone, tell them
to God, but don't tell them to the
people around about you. No bust
ness man or professional man or any
other man who has thought things
through properly ever talks about
the difficulties of his work either
publicly or in his work.
The general Of an army should
know full well all the difficulties that
confront him, but the less he saws
about them the better. Knowing and
talking are two different things. It
is said that Won Moltke was once
asked to what he attributed the sue
cess of the Duke of Wellington as a
great general. His answer was that
he attributed it to the fact that he
could hold his ongue in seven differ
emit languages. If we can hold our
tongues in even one language, it will
help a whole lot :.
a cheerful front is half of the
battle. Don't become sour. Don't
become q grump. Don't become a
sorehead.

keep mum and keep sweet no matter

THE IMMIGRANT QUESTION.

The hordes Of foreigners who are
planning to come to this country, if
possible, are menace to the oppor-
tunities of the native born colored
working people who should be pro-
tected by appropriate legislation.
Two suggestions have been offered
with respect to proposed immigration
legislation, in addition to the per-
centage basis submitted by Senator
Dillingham;. One is that the number
of immigrants permitted to enter
from any particular country be gov
erned, as far as possible, by the per-
centage of that element of in1migra-
ton which over a period of, say, the
five years immediately preceding the
war sought to be naturalized, the
number to be regulated at the ter
mination of each five-or ten-year
period. Government statistics should
be available for such solution An
other suggestion is to compel each
immigrant to hold a license costing,
say, $12 annually so long as he is not
naturalized, without which he could
not be employed. This would pro-
vide a source of Federal revenue and
subject the immigrant to taxation
which he now escapes. If it is worth
coming here to work, it is worth
paying for the privilege, and those
races which take no interest in this
country other than to receive high
wages and then return should be
penalized for their indifference to
American institutions. The colored
people all are citizens and taxpayers,
and their interests should not be
overlooked.

SCANDAL.

Did you ever notice that stalk
doesn't hurt a man? Perfection isn't
looked for in man, and when some
one tries to injure a man by ranting
about a few faults he has, the absent
one who is probably attending to his
own affairs, is elevated in the hear
er's estimation, while the informant
is lowered accordingly. If man
knocks along doing fairly we'll, peo-
pie realize that while he has some
faults. he has more virtues, and they
are charitable enough to overlook
these faults. But it is difficult with
a girl or woman. No matter how
good and pure woman may be, let
someone start an Infamous lie about
her and too many people are willing
to pass it along, and there is ALWAYS
some one to believe it. That lie can
never be lived down. It NAV burn
low, but gossip loving lips are ready
with new fuel. Did you ever think
how damnably mean some goody.
goody people are in this respect?-

SEGREGATION BY CENSUS.

The United States assumes that q
group of about 100000 people are
Negroes and proceeds to- so classify
them. More than ninety-nine per cent
of the persons so classified were born
IN America of American parents. and
their parents were Americans and so
on back for ten generations.
1t man whose ancestors for many
generations is not an American, who
is entitled to the name? If white
man can become an American in two
generations, why should a person OF
any other color born in this country
fail to "arrive" in the same space OF
time?
The name Negro applied to a
group of citizens in this country Is in.
accurate, because it does not include
forty or fifty million other Americans
who have more or less Negro blood
The expression "pure race" is amyth
so all great writer's on racial questions
agree %..-...
The mixing of bloods in this country
has gone SO far that it is impossible
to determine with any degree of accu-
racy who has Negro blood and who
has not and for the Government, tc
select about 100000 people and say
that they are Negroes" and by that
act to aid in making them a separate
treatment in church and state, is tc
perpetrate a great wrong. i
1t is an infamous thing for the gov
eminent of this great republic to draw
the color line in any way. In 4 rs
public every citizen should have ex
actly the same status so far as the
government is concerned.
There is no reason why Democra
cy should attempt to classify its cit
liens by their blood. All person.
born in this country should be con
sidered Americans without any pre-
fixes or sufixes.

"NONE so BLIND AS THOSE WHO
WON'T SEE" ..l.

Representative Clark of Florida,
speaking before the House census
committee, denounced the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People as an organization
composed of "Meddling, fussing" per.
sons who "are working on IGNORANT
Negroes of the South to keep them
selves in good positions" Mr.. Clark
needs a lot of information about the
N. A. A. G. P; which he seems not to
have, and his denunciation certainly
shows his ignorance and color preiu-
dice-another evidence of ignorance.
Mr.. Clark is, however, wise enough
to see that if the object sought by the
N. A. A. G. P. in it's contention before
the committee is obtained, his chances
for polishing the seat of his pants on
a seat in Congress will be mighty un-
sartin. Hence his objection.

Value of Small Advertisement.

The editor of The American Press
advises publishers to cultivate the
small accounts more intensively. Ten
advertisers using six inches each
weekly is better, it says, than one
advertiser using 60 inches. To have
large number of small advertisers
is much safer from business stand
point, it contends, than to rely upon
few large users of space for neces-
sary revenue.
