THE BIRD N THE CAGE.

A f1axen-haired white lady, holding aloft in
her hands a beautifully giIded bird cage, ran
frantically around the base of a tree on the
city street, calling Come back Dickey', to a
little canary bird who had abandoned his
prison for a limb high up the tree, from
whence he was pouring forth as sweet a song
as We have ever heard from the throat of a
canary. In his song there seemed to be a
note of joyousness which we had never before
heard when the little fellow was safely locked
m his cage next door. "Come back Dickey;
come back Dickey", called the white lady but
Dickey's only reply was a burst of song and
a fight to a higher limb and greater freedom,
as he felt increased strength came to his wings
and the fresh air of outdoors go down into
his lungs.
Dickey's new freedom is not like that which
has come to the million Negro migrants who
have come to the Northland during the past
ten years out of the cage of peonage, lynching
and the octupus-like prejudice with ~tentacles
reaching into the home life, the schools, the
public utilities, and, in fact into every phase
of southern life where the question of color
can be used as a blindfo1d for equity and JUS
tice. Upon the Negroes abandonment of those
areas of stu1tifed citizenship his "best friends
there, the owners of the cage, like the canary
birds keeper, waiting1y cried "Come back,
Dickey'; but the migratory Negro freemen.
overcome by the new atmosphere and the in
creased strength of privilege, have not heard
the call.
There remain "down home, however,
millions of Negroes whose patience, while in
the cage, has not waned. They cling to the
hop. that the meek shall inherit the earth. To
them as their hopes die, there is the Christian
obligation and the warning signal of an en-
lightened civilizations, pointing towards a de-
served freedom, a higher appreciation of their
worth a knowledge that God is no respecter
of persons, and a quickening of the will to
deal Justly with those who remain in or close
to the cage, the bars of which should be torn
asunder. Then the freedom of this life will
be theirs, and sectional lines will yield to love
of cleavage between all the people of the
good old u. s.. A. regardless of color.
