Industrial Equality
for Negroes

Facts and figures talk nowadays
and if / were Dr. w. H. Evans, Imper-
ial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, |
would mt least endeavor to be broad
minded enough to state facts. He tells
us that there are 10,500,000 Negroes in
the United States when the census of
thirty years ago showed 10,000,000 per
sons of Negro extraction. He further
states that this group cannot attain the
level of the Anglo Saxon, claiming that
this can be proved by biology and an
thropology.
Still our leading anthropologists,
Johnston, Boaz and Jacques Loeb
who, by the way, is Hebrew-have
told us that there is no such thing as
racial superiority that under the same
conditions and environment one will
find the same qualities in the blacklist
black person as can be found in the
whitest white.
Now, in reference to the future Ne
gro, desire to say that / am certain
that the 100000 Negroes will voice
the same opinion, that If given indus
trial equality, which means nothing
more than chance to earn his daily
bread the same as any other race, that
he will show to the world that his pro-
gress will be even more prodigious
than in any previous period during
which he has labored under the handi-
cap of discrimination.

upon him self the responsibility of cen
soring one of our private dancing par
ties. We have been Informed that Wig
orous and fearless protests brought EN-
phatlc statements from high officials
that the offensc would not be repeated.
We hope not. Enough Of southern
pre- judices and hostility have crept in
to the domestic affairs of Colorado
during late years, as to completely
change our relations with the domin-
ant group to some extent. However,
there has never been an attempt to
give such prejudices official sanction
until now. Negro citizens have every
right to protest such an invasion of
affairs they hold sacred as was at
tempted by the officer in question.
Above all, we are proud that our wom-
en- stood bravely against such treat
ment as was accorded members of
their sex merely because possessing
light skins. 1t was Il noble thing to
do, and the only means of attaining
that respect due us ut all times and in
all places.
