New York City is the most striking

ness Of an imaginary supremacy
based upon Race, Greed, Or Color.
To take away from New York
City its Angla-Saxan blueblood

but to eliminate an integral useful
sector Of the foundation Of the great
est city in the world-a city which
carries uniform minimum Of racial
egotism. It is wonderful truth that
New York's Negro population has en-
joyed, as Mayor Hylan says, equal
and exact justice, care and protection. .

Mayor Hylan's sentiments are BY no
means confined to himself as there
are hundreds Of others who, in his
shoes, would utter the same words Of
justice. And if they were not 50
disposed-well, the great multi-variant
millions Of people Of New York, where
bucks, ability, enterprises and thrift
count for more than ancestry, would
soon bring such belligerent to his
senses-for the masses. not the classes,
are the ones who guide the destinies
Of the worlds greatest cosmopolitan
oity-and these masses are absorbed
in the pleasant duty Of personifying
Americanization Of the same kind the
Y. S. Constitution prescribes as being
good for Uncle Sam and his nephews

Under the inspirational leadership
of Hon. George H. Woodson, of Des

been invited to file an application for
membership in the American Bar As
ISOLATION, a group Of eminent Negro
councillors at law recently held con-
ference and organized themselves into
a National Negro Bar Association, with
rgional directors in various districts
of the country. This new legal body
will, Of course, in the groupal sense.
promote quasi-fraternalism, PROBES

American Bar Association fro m

and time, although Hon. William H.
Lewis, Of Massachusetts. was adj
mitted some time ago.
In the law. if no where else, color
should be held to be irrelevant; and
there is some slight question as to
whether a Negro Bar Association
quickens or diminishes the conscious
ness of racial differences. Be that as
it may, if both the white and THE

spectacle Of the new Bar Body in the
proper way, much good can be &C
compHshed by the Woodson creation
within the next decade. And if we
were able to speak as a unit in behalf

tell the world:
1--WE, the colored lawyers Of the
United States, duly qualified as citi-

Of equity recognize no legal color dis
