Ye Men of
The Rails:

Man was Gods ideal and the cli-
max of the creation. In fact. he was
the only object of the creation over
which there was called council; and
by the way, that was the first council
that history records. That council
was ideal and creative. 1t is now
time to call another council, and
mind you gentlemen, at that God took
you on equal terms with himself. He
even said, Tlet us create him in our
own image" He said then and he
says now, lone thing thou shalt not
touch, touch that and you are imme-
diately out of harmony with God and
all nature" Let us make man in
our own image and give him domip-
ion over earth and sky and all things
of the creation. except that one thing.
That was and is now the dividing
line. Do that one thing and you i'm
mediately begin your journey away
from God and all the forces of ma
ture. That is just what happened
when man disobeyed, from that time
until now all human efforts have
been directed towards the regaining
of that lost harmony. We Men of the
Rails, with our army of $4,000 men,
reaching practically every quarter of
the nation daily. can do much to help
our group to see our duty and our op-
portunity. The great and crying
need of the hour is local and national
unity. The one thing next to the
religion of the Lord Jesus Christ that
can help us most and should be re-
garded as our national asset is mu-
sic. We can all sing and many of us
play some of the most difficult instru-
ments that have been invented and
that are in common use. Why not
make music a stepping stone to bet
ter things and let us strive for the
day when our efforts shall be direct
ed towards the goal of favor with
God and man; for in the last analysis
we must all recognize the fact that
we are fast approaching the day
when much will be said about the
Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood of Man. When that day comes,
and not until then, will the God of
Hope be our God and we His people.

Why Prejudice
Runs An1uck for
Careless People
(By the Urban League)

Once upon a time there lived a
young man on farm in the South.
He lived in the great outdoors. There
was no need to think about what
kind of clothes to wear and how to
act, because there was no one there
to see. His nearest neighbor was a
mile away. He came from work,
sprawled over a whole horse or mule,
washed his face and hands, ate his
evening meal. He worked and worked
and worked but he never seemed to
get anywhere. He had only starva-
tion wages and white folks saw to 1t
that he was always in debt.
In the evening he would sit on his
doorstep and ponder over the mean
ness and prejudice of the white folks
in the South.
He finally decided to come to Chi
cago. Here he got job in steel
mill where he worked hard and got
good pay. He had never seen so
many people in his life as he did in
the one city of Chicago. They were
on the job, on the street cars. even in
the fiat building where he lived, in
multitudes it seemed to him, but he
was the same young man. He kept
on his dirty, smelly overalls when he
| came from work. He elbowed his
way among well-dressed women and
men coming from their work. He
sprawled over his seat in the car as
IL he had 1t all to himself, like his
mule in the South. He shouted loud
ly to his buddy across the car Just as
he used to call out to the adjoining
hillsides or low grounds in the South.
The people in the car would look at
him and frown, or the women would
shrink and pull their skirts away
from him when he sat down.
In the evening he would sit on the
porch and ponder over the meanness
and prejudice OF the white folks in
the North.

In the National League when the

f4S points between the Giants and

Thus the National League clubs have
gained 100 or SO points on the leaders

Runaway Race Talk Ends.
The lessening of the gaps in botb

son OF 1872. What the Giants ana
