colored men in Alabama, Georgia
Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas
South Carolina, or Louisiana.
The. two southern states that per.
NIT colored soldiers to join the Amer.
ican Legion are North Carolina and
Tennessee. The states where your
boys live in greatest numbers say to
colored ex-soldiers, "We'll send for
you when we fight again"
That is why the American Legion
is a scandal in the history of Amer
lean arms. Your fathers could Join
the Grand Army, that organization of
those who preserved the union, but
their sons are not permitted to join
the Legion, which is dominated by
young gentlemen whose one aim in
life is tc degrade you and yours.
Don't get mad and start abusing
young southern white men. Admire
them for persistency and ORGAN
lZE to meet them.
2. What could Mrs. w. II. Settle,
who died last Saturday in Blooming
ton, H., at the age of 81, have sung
for Lincoln? The dispatches say that
she sang for the great Emancipator.
Maybe Mrs. Settle tried ''My Old
Kentucky Home" But Lincoln, then
long removed from Hardin County,
had but little interest in Kentucky,
birthplace Of this humble writer's
grand parents, who saw the light of
day in the adjoining county of Hart,
where the brilliant Garvin boys came
from. &o 81 .t
What Mrs. Settle could have sung
COZ Col Groun' Are you not glad
that Massa is, in that ground?
Mr.. Lincoln was man of great
sadness. You have heard that, of
course, He had given his heart to
Anne Rutledee, the lovely girl of the
bosom of Illinois long before he
learned to put up with the piano.
He, played the mouth organ, now
called the harmonica, and could pull
a hesitapt bow across the fiddle. In
New Orleans he asked colored
friend if he knew "Annie Laurie
Frederick Douglass, greatest Am
erican that ever lived next to Lincoln,
reported that he heard Mr.. Lincoln
h,nnniing an old love song. Maybe
he was trying to forget the scolding
of Miss Todd and call up Miss Rut-
