HEROES AND

ATTEND to that little girl. first, said Oscar
7. Daniels, Negro Porter of the Pullman
Company, as he refused first aid of the doc
tors who sought to ease his scalding steam
burns following the horrible wreck, on June
10, of the Erie Special, near Rockport, N. J.
The physicians needed Daniels command and
upon returning to his side found the Negro
hero dead, He had given his last full
measure of devotion that others might live.
While memories of Daniels funeral are still
fresh. there comes news of the bravery of a
nine-year-old colored girl, of Hagerstown,
Md. who on July L, tagged a Baltimore and
Ohio passenger train just in time to avert a
f%fty-foot drop down the mountain side, saw
ing perhaps, the forty precious lives on board.
The name of the little heroine has not yet
been learned, but Engineer Albert B. Haller
states it is probable she averted a terrible loss
of life.
: Tom Lee, Oscar 7. Daniels, the nin-year-
old girl of today; Roberts and his comrades
of World War fame, Crispus Attacks and all
the way back to Simon the Cyrenian, who
helped Jesus carry the cross, black heroes and
heroines have adorned civilizations exploits
of bravery. In war, in peace and amid
trials, when the souls of men are crying aloud
black men and women have risen to the STU
preme test when one faces the terrible priv
ilege of laying down his life for his friend.
And yet there are those like General Billiard,
who says that the Negro is a coward-only
half a man-and they take care to give him
only half a mans chance.
7 The color scheme, a barometer Of alleged
> superiority, measures these black heroes and
heroines and their kinsmer. not by their deeds
but by their color. History. though. just as
before, is bound to repeat itself. and restore
to the oppressed of today the ~fullness of their
rights on the morrow. Ahis dawn is what
"supremists" fear most. lest the iron hand of
retribution should clutch them within its
grasp. Idle fears are these, for those who
flee when no man pursueth. The prophecy
is merely that Ethiopia shall stretch forth her
hand-and that is all she is trying to do. in
wrecks, in wars, in peace and into the hearts
and lives of her fellowbeings. And sooner or
later the "~sef6sts" must come to know that
Gods prophecies never fail.

tests are beginning to pour in upon the Dis
of the Invincible Empire. The local N. A.
A. C.. P. headed by the stalwart LATE NJ.
Hershaw has vigorously protested the khan
karavan. And rumbles are being heard in
Roman Catholic circles and in the synagogues.
Others, alleging that public interest is being
jeopardized, are registering their adverseness
to the coming memoirs of reconstruction days.
Just how much pressure the protests will bring
to bear no one can say. The District Gov
eminent remains adamant, under the law, and
of course, no one can question its good faith
or sincerity.
Nevertheless the bad taste remains in the
mouth of Washington, where it is realized
that exploitation is to be made of the organi-
zation which President Grant so vigorously
quelled, in the bleak days of yestertitne and
it is difficult to realize the grade of consist
ency which permits the invisible order to court
cheers of appreciation from a sector of the
generous public. The fact remains that pre-
cedents of Niles, Ohio and other places where
the khan has met under similar circumstances,
do not brook much good to follow in its wake
and despite statute law which may permit the
khan to tread upon Washington's most his
toric street, caution and care, it would seem
should lead the District Government to bal
ance the good and the harm, as the case may
be, which may come from the descendants Of
the hood and gown. And during such a
consideration we think, the burden of proof
rests with the khan to prove itself 100 per
cent American rather than its foes to prove
that it is not,-at least this should be the case
if history means anything, for history usually
repeats itself.

the contrary, that God made man in His own
imape-not men, but MAINLAND in the ages
since then it has been recorded how man be-
came so dissatisfied with himself that Cain
slew Abel, men varied against men, and
seL6shnsss against bigotry, following the orig
inal sin of Adam, superseded the scheme of
God for man to live with man in peace and
harmony. The trend of theory, at least, is
for man again to Christianize himself and live
peaceab1y with his brother, as his brothers
keeper and loving his neighbor as himself.
Race segregation is the banefr1l barrier of
some men to place self upon a pedestal and
the other fellow at its base. 1t is not that
the Negro does not yearn for the full chance
to function as a race group that leads him
to eschew segregation. 1t is not that he
objects to his own company that he dlsllkes
the lin Crow coach or the segregated COM
munity. Nor is it that he disdains the op-
portt1nity to demonstrate his group power.

tween races, makes segregation an undesirable
policy.
Then. too, were all the racial increnents
of Americas melting pot of human beings to
segregate themselves from each other, where
in the name of Heaven, would come the
chance to exchange the emo1uments OF Christ

Writing in the New York World of July I,
1925, Mr.. "Abolitionist" goes to the bat IN
the question of race segregation. Says he:
"It is an error to assume that segregation is
an evil for the co1ored race. Rather, should
the Negroes welcome it as it affords them an
opportunity to demonstrate their power to
stand alone and their capaciy to function alone
and unaided in all life's activities equally with
the white man. The Negro only degenerates
by his contact with the white race. Alone,
he can fight against the evil influence of those
who undermine his character and morality in
order ia have him under their sway. .....

Ubis QWeek
(By Ernest Rice Mckinney

1T WOULD BE A
mighty fine thing if
this week or next-ev'
cry Negro man and wo-
man in these United
States would write a
letter to Oswald Garris-
on Willard and The Ma +,
ton. The address is 20
Vesey Street, New York
City.
For this is the Sixtieth
Anniversary of The Ma
ton. You know what
that means as to the
period of it's founding
and the state of the ma
ton and of the Negro at
that time-1S65. You
may guess who Oswald
Garrison Willard is when
YOU think of that MID
DIE NAME. He is the
grandson of
LLOYD GARRISON, and
of course, there is not a
Negro who does not
know who
was. 1t should be pos
sible to say who GAR
RISON is, for he and
his name should be very
much alive in the think
ing of every Negro child
and adult.
Ait any rate, Mr.. vii
lard is the grandson and
is really and Simply

Such was the start of
The Nation. In spirit
it is the same today.
There is every reason to

breathe from every page
