natural that with most people the thought of Negroes and crime should become closely associated, to the det- riment of the whole black race. It is true that the crimes of white men are featured even to greater extent than those of colored men, but not to the exclusion of the good deeds of that race. A good white man and bad white man stare out at one from the pages of most papers, while only a wicked black man is there. This does more harm to the colored people than one would think.
 "The welfare of the Negroes cannot be separated from the welfare of the white population. Two races occupy ing the same territory must advance or suffer together. The lynching of Negroes is mistake, because to cheapen the lives of any group of peo- pie cheapens the, lives of all. If no Negroes were lynched it is very doubt full if there would be any white lynch ings. The advancement of the two races cannot be separated. If you hold a man down in the ditch you have to stay in. the ditch yourself to keep him there."
 Dr. Pickens, who was born in South Carolina, holds degrees from five col leges and universities, including an A. B. from Yale. Formerly dean of Morgan College in Baltimore, he is now field secretary for the National Society for the Advancement of Col ored People.

ASSISTANCE ASKED FOR THE NEGRO
"Colored People and White Peo- ple Do Not Know Each Other Very We'll Anywhere in the Country"

BOSTON-Pleading for education and advancement of the Negro, on the ground of justice and because such justice cannot but result in benefit to the white race, William Pickens de- livered an address on "A Common Platform for White and Black" be- fore large audience at Ford Hall Forum.
 ''The colored people and the white people do not know each other very we'll anywhere in the country" said Dr. Pickens. "Yet the Negro knows the white man much better than the white man knows the Negro. The colored people read all the white mans newspapers and magazines, and very few white men read our maga- zines. In the south the home of every white family that amounts to any, thing at all is known, from cellar to garret, by colored people, while no white that amounts to anything at all ever sets foot within the home of the Negro. And, more especially, the southerner does not know the edu- cated Negroes, though there are many of them in the south. Therefore it is sheer ignorance of the subject that makes him think that education does not help the Negro. Every person that IS well eQucaCeO aQOS CO the sum total of education in the country. The Negro knows that the we'll educated white man is much easier and better to deal with than the ignorant white man, and in the same way the intelli- gent and educated Negro is easier and better to deal with in every way.
 "Unconsciously perhaps, the press is the cause of large part of the mis- understanding which exists between by Negroes are featured by nearly every paper, while very seldom is the black man mentioned in any other connection. In this way it is very
