~ REJUDICB is the foul curse of
humanity, but it is n very natural
vice characterizing individuals and
races. In consequence Negroes have
their prejudices in common with in
dividuals of other races. Some believe
they will surely get to Heaven by one
route, while others choose Il different
one. Some who have nothing are pre-
JUDGED against those who have some
thing vice versa. Prejudice is dis
played among those who know nothing
and those knowing something. The i'll
gotten Negro offspring of the degen-
crate white man, often has more pride
in the foul blood of Il degraded father
hood than in an outraged and abused
motherhood And there is the black
who looks down upon another of his
race because of the evident signs of
vulgar miscegenation, without consid-
ering the facts. The truth of the mat
ter is that prejudice among Negroes is
confusing them and retarding their
progress.
1t matters not whether the blood
of African has been mixed with
that of English, Scotch, Irish,
French, Italian, Greek, German,
Indian, Spanish, Chinese, Mexican
japanese or Jew, Negroes are
Negroes in America, and they will con-
tinue to be Negroes everywhere in the
world, in spite of prejudices among
them or any effort they make to be
anything else than a Negro in the
minds of white people. Any who hope
'the melting-pot' will change the fact

Being Trained to
Administer Insulin
for Diabetes

Medical practitioners in New York
are being given every opportunity to
study the administration of the newly
discovered diabetic remedy, InSulin.
Doctors from the Rockefeller Institute
and staff members of the Presbyterian
Hospital are concentrating their efforts
physicians.
Drs. e. p. Roberts and p. f. Ander-
son are among the Harlem physicians
who have taken advantage of the op-
portunity, and they have completed the
course of instruction. Other physicians
will doubtless also avail themselves of
the instruction.
Insulin was brought by DR.. Banting,
collaborating with Prof. Mcleod, at the
University of Toronto, about three
wears ago, and it has revolutionized the
treatment of diabetes, which had al
ways been considered as incurable. Be
cause the discovery has added years
to the lives of diabetic sufferers, and
thus saved millions of dollars to the
insurance companies, they have issued
naid-up life insurance policies on the
life of DIR. Banting to the value of
S1,OOOO00.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., realizing
tbe need of intelligent instruction of
doctors in the use of Insulin, gave
S15O,OOO for the use of various hos
pitals in this connection. The Presby-
terian Hospital has established a
course of lectures, clinics ana laDora-
tory technique, manned by the most eff
ficient experts and diagnosticians,
charging a nominal fee for the course.

of other races will have to prove by
their words and actions that they love
themselves as human beings with the

Chalk white, coal black, high brown,

America are all in the same boat. They
must row up stream together forget

selves as Negroes according to the in
terpretations of the white man, but
should never forget that they are hui
man beings because they are a group of
many colors and bloods. Color means
nothing without character and COM
petence behind it. Neither can money
change a race or any individual of n
race. All Negroes of all cOlors and all
creeds must go up or down together in
America. Only the foolish think other
wise. Any individual resting his hopes

bay cities, his host during the last
hours on earth, are showing at his de-
parture. At the word of passing of
the nations chief spread over the
silent cities, great quiet fell. Coming
at Il time when his fellow countrymen
believed that he was out of danger,

Warn of White Inten-
ton to Manufacture
Tuskegee ''Race
Riot"

In connection with the report today
of the arrest of three Negro veterans
at the United States government hos
pital in Tuskegee, Ala, the National
Colored People, 90 Fifth avenue, today
issued warning of ract riot ''manu-
credit the hospital inmates and colored
staff. The Advancement Associations
statement reads:
"White people have threatened the
heads of Tuskegee Institute and have
driven away colored men appointed by
the United States Veterans Bureau to
fill positions in the Government Hos
pital at Tuskegee.
Failing to terrorize the United
States government, the white Tuskegee
mobbists are not attempting to prepare
the country for carefully manufac-
tured race riot at Tuskegee. 1t is to
be expected that if attacked by mob,
the Negroes in Tuskegee will attempt
to defend themselves. 1t Is absolutely
certain that no Negro in Tuskegee
would start violence or would engage
in it unless his life were menaced by
the white nisurrectionists who have
been defying the United States govern
ment. 1t is up to the government to
station sufficient forces in Tuskegee to
insure that the whites will not have
the old excuse of race riot 10 murder

Commencing Stand
Against TOuris IS
Race Prejudice

New York. Aug. 2.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, 60 Fifth avenue, New

Minister of Foreign Affairs commend
ing the French Governments stand
against Negro batting by American
tourists in France.

'French Minister of Foreign Affairs,

ment of Colored People with member

your stand against American color
prejudice.
(Signed)
JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,
"Secretary."
This cablegram follows warning is
sued by the French Foreign Office to
American tourists, that Negroes would
have to be treated with respect in
France. According to a correspondent
of the New York Times, the following
incident occasioned the French Gov
ernment's actit n, which is accompanied
by extensive and indignant editorial
comment in the French press:
"A French surgeon, who is Negro,
occupied one of the seats in the big
tourists automobile lis it started on
the trip to the region of Rheims. Prac-
+icoIIv all the other twenty occupants
were from the United States.
"They objected to the presence of
the Negro among them, but neverthe-
less the car got under way. Few
miles out of Paris the Americans re-
newed their protests, which led TO
healed argument, in which the Ameh-
cans said they wouldn't ride with
'nigger,' and the Negro replied:
81 fought four and half years,
during most of which you Americans
we're not fighting. 1t seems TO Inc l
have as much right as you to go to see
the batrlefields.'
The end of it was that the Ameri-
cans threw the Negro out of the car
and left him by the roadside. The re-
suit was Il protest to the Foreign Of
flee.
Deputies Candace and Bousse, both
Negroes, have served notice on Pre-
mier Poincare that they will Interpret

a deluge of drizzling rain played a
scoreless tie with Unto. high school
pi~gskinners yesterday at the latter
oval.
The game, in addition to the diff
culties encountered by both aggre-
cations, was by far an undressing
contest. No big gains were made by
either team and thu only life that
featured the game was an occasional
trick play. Several severe line
plunges were made duri the early
minutes of the battle, but this form
of fight was given up ty both teams
before the first half had ended "as a
bad job"
Next Friday afternoon the South

New reports from the team across
the Raritan are to the effect that Ep-
pinger and Dice Grace, who were
thought would be out of the tussle
tomorrow owing to injuries, are COM
ing along in good shape and have
signifed their intentions of being
"hot and heavy" in the scrimmage.
Lenahan, another of the cross-river
players who sustained slight injuries
in the practice session of last week
will also be on hand.
The goal posts have been erected
and the field will be mapped out to-
morrow morning. Practice in kick
ing will be held this afternoon by
the locals, while the South Amboy
outfit will invade Whitehead's field
for their final practice of light
stuff.
Besides the four valuable men in
the backfeld, Bill Flynn can count
on Silver, Bohnsack, johnson, Mall
let, Spiegel, Smith, Hansen, Thomas
and Allen while before the game
tomorrow a few Tor local pigskin-
ners may be added TO the roster. At
any rate the locals are in fit condi-
ton to give the neighboring city
combination "a good go for their
money, and promise an interesting
game.
In the back1eld for the South Am
boy team tomorrow Connie Ryan,
Eppinger, Grace, Gleason and Fitz-
morris, will divide the duties. The
line men will be picked from Kuhn.
Kress, Nielan, O'Connor, Abbatiello.
Lenahan, Triggs, Malanaphy and
Manhattan.
As a feature of the engagement
there Is a possibility that Assembly,
man Harold Hoffman will occupy
one of the backfeld positions for the
cross-river team. "Hofie" is well
known in sporting circles about this
section as a player of excellent cali
bre and much interest Is being arous-
ed in his appearance on the gridron
tomorrow.
