ECHOES FROM THE BIG Y. M. c. A

Echoes from the recent big Y. NJ. G.
A. building fund drive are still ring
ing in the ears of all the people. Den
yer colored citizens are prouder of
themselves, and their good friends of
the other race group are prouder of
them, than they have ever been before,
The ease with which it was done, the
interest created and the contacts 1t
formed, are among the features most
commented upon by the people. When
the last nights work had been checked
up and corrected by the auditors, the
total amount was found to be S12,6Oo.

Him and by serving Him serve all.
The residents of Boulder stOrmed

TREAT BOTH
RACES ALIKE

Columbus, Oho.-"America is un-
fair if she grants the white race more
than she offers to the blacks" assert
ed DR.. Robert Russia Motion, successor
to the late Booker T. Washington as
principal of the Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama, addressing Il local audience
on Race Cooperation"
"Anglo-SaXons today are the out
standing leaders of the world, but
only because they have done more to-
ward attaining that end, not because
they have been privileged class, -
continued DIR. Motion.
Negroes do not enjoy so-called so
cial equality They do not desire in
innate relationship with the white
race What they do want is the heri-
tage of education, freedom of thought
and other privileges, which are the
lust due of every free-born American.
"As the Anglo-Saxons have been
foremost in doing things, so they have
been wholly responsible, whether dl-
rectly or indirectly, for all the race
trouble which has transpired ana
which has been caused by members OF
the white race going out of their
place." DIR. Motion said.
"Whites and Negroes must live to-
gether in the same states, municipall-
ties and communities, for the blacks
are going to hold their own at all
times and not leave. If anyone leaves
If will have to be the white man.

Color Line Problems
Hit British

London, March 22.-Colored must
day in Parliament. 1t is said the con-
troversy raised by London theatrical
producers over the "Negro invasion
will be the subject of formal queS-
ton to the government on the "effect
of the Negro boom on the British EN-
pire generally"
Jobless music hall artists, of whom
there are many just now, are raising
loud cries against two prominent man
ayers who are bringing all colored
companies. The Musicians Union is
equally stirred.
Musicians from America have been
in great demand by smart dancing
clubs and ball rooms since the end of
the war. They make more money than
many native actors.
British black-face artists are quite
as good, they add, and it would be
more patriotic to hire them. Sir Fran
els Towle, who introduced the first
cabaret in London with an all white
company, said:
"The idea of mixing black people
where there are white ladies in even
ing gowns-even with railing round
them-ls intolerable and will not be per-
mitted for minute by the public"
This will sound typically Southern to
Americans.
Meantime the colored artists are ON
their way and American artists have
arrived to paint scenes.

for the opening of new school in
Maryland-the Cardinal Gibbons Insti-
tute. The Catholic Church claims a
Negro membership of 25O,OOO in the

OF the amount subscribed $1,000 was
paid in cash-just $1,000 short of the
minimum sum which the workers went
out to raise.
The idea of big cleanup meet
ing at Zion Baptist Church tomorrow
Sunday afternoon has been aban-
doned, and the meeting will be held at
the branch building instead. As the
first installment on the pledges falls
due tomorrow, it is expected that
many will come to the meeting pre-
pared to make their payments. The
meeting will begin at 3 80 o'clock.
From the puIpits of all our colored
churches tomorrow morning and eve
ming the pastors will call the attention
of the people to the following items:
1. That the Y. NJ. C. A. building
fund drive was a great success, and
reflects great credit upon all our
people.
.. That about 700 persons have al
ready subscribed to the fund.
g. That the first installment on the
unpaid subscription is now due, and
may be paid to Secretary Thomas J.
Bell mt the branch building, $500 Glen
arm Street, any day up to 80 in the
evening, SO that persons going TO or
coming from their work may call by
and pay their pledges.
4. That the authorities both of the
Central and local Y. NJ. c. A. particu-
larly request the people to make sure
and secure a receipt for all money
paid, as a protection both to them
selves and to the official receiving the
money; and that the more promptly
and fully the pledges are paid, the
sooner and better the building.
s. Finally, that the whole country
is watching Denver with breathless in
terest, and that the thoroughness and
of our work will greatly
influence them in cities where similar
drives are now being contemplated.
The people are going to pay up, and
that promptly. We believe not less
than $1,000 will be paid in this in
stallment.

"The Negro does not object to sep
aration, but he does object, and right
ly so TO the degradation and inferior
ity which segregation sometimes car
ries with it." With this declaration
of DIR. Motion, superintendent of Tus-
kegee Institute, we believe that white
men of the better sort can and do, in
principle, agree. No honest man
wishes that the Negro shall receive for
his dollar less than Il white man re-
ceives for it, and no decent man wish

There was nothing to be done
except to remove them. The mo
