THE SOCIAL EQUALITY
PROPAGANDA.
This social equality propaganda is
studied scheme. and is thrust like
serpent's tooth into every phase Of our
freedom, to humiliate, discourage amt
cover our spirit; and they want us to
bring up our children under this hell
born propaganda without protest. &.
The Jim Crow car is the answer to
the call Of these false prophets of de.
mocracy; we must separate them on
the trains or they will seek social equal
ity. So they have given Il dual system
Of psychology to the ColOred man; he
must believe Gods plan OF universal
brotherhood and at the same time be-
licve the contradiction of it by tho
southern white man; he must believe
1t Is wrong for Germany to deny tho
American white people the freedom Of
the seas and at the same time believe
1t Is right for the American white man
TO deny us the freedom Of travel Oh
American soil and In its territorial
waters; he must believe 1t Is right for
him to fight for the rights Of white
men on foreign soil and at the same
time believe 1t is wrong for him to
have tho same rights on home soil. He
must believe thUt colored nurse or
valet can travel with q white employ
or without catching the terrible socia,
equality disease and at the same time
believe that an educated colored lady
or gentleman cannot travel in the same
white coach without catching that ter
rible social equality disease. The white
man who believes it needs the spirit Of
Christ and the colored man who be.
lieves 1t would be safer in the mad
house.
THE DISGRACE OF THE

colored editors have TO he very careful
now they touch certain sins OF white
men; and even In these large cities
they cannot say all they would like to

Colored ministers must confine their
sermons to the goodness Of the Lord
without even referring to the lynching

church, and had to leave that night to
