/ believe that we as a race should
not fail to appreciate the kindness
and consideration that is shown to
us by our many white friends. In
going to Minneapolis on an Interur-
ban car, recently, I observed a young
white man give the seat he was oc-
cupying to a lady of our race. This
is courtesy that should be returned
by our own young men. Men may
think since woman's emancipation
that she must take her chances and
fare the same as the man on all oc-
