DETROIT NEGRO HOSPITALS

The recent attack by Snow F. Grigsby the local
hospital situation has been widely published through
such keen public interest that the Tribune feels constra
ed to make clear editorial views regarding the matter
All along attitude has been wholly unbiased We
have simply reported to our reading pubhc the news

portance to the public They desire and have right to
hear through the papers what each side has TO say
We have published Mr.. Grgsbys articles and carrl-
story Of the meeting he recently conducted at
St Presbyterian Forum In this issue of the Tribune
we are also publishing two articles pertaining to our To-
cal hospitals One written and submitted by hospital
representatives refuting Mr. Grigsbys allegations; the
other is special story setting forth data and information

through careful investigations on our own initiative
We wish to make it clearly understood that we have
no fight against colored hospitals bear them no
grudge We have personal anmostes against any OF
the physicians officials connected with these insu-
tions the contrary number most Of these phys-

The Tribune believes in our private coored hospitals
in Detroit and feel they have right to succeed Private
coored hospitals have the same right TO receive county or
city ubercuar patients that privately owned Polish,
Jewish other institutions have when they meet the re-
quirements demanded by the law.
Our people Disseminated against and segregated
in so many subtle ways, however realize that as

are almost entirely excluded from these institutions now
Although many other local racial groups have their
private hospitals which receive county and city tubercuar

AS the announcer's voice droned
on, mother looked to be disappoint
ed. She seemed to be waiting
for what? Her eyes were lifted
and her lips seemed to move. Then
the announcer's voice floated
back in suppressed excitement as
no said.
"A notice has Just been placed
before me, friends, and you no
doubt will be shocked TO learn our
defeated candidate for mayor Is
dead. Shot himself in his hotel
room. II is terrible thing Our

Good night everyone" and his
voice died away.
Mother gave sigh, as IL
tension had been lifted as Clara
murmured. How HORRIBLE" and

Mother smiled and said softly,
Peter darling" and sighed.
Her eyes stared and her body
relaxed.
She had joined Peter, her boy.
AS Clara ran sobbing to her
mothers bedside, Jarvis spoke.
Look dear, she is smiling"
She gazed through tears at her
mothers face. II seemed radiant.

Clara caught her breath.
"Why Jarvis. believe she IS

Prejudice In Religion
by X. A. Adams
(FOr The LSB)

AT n meeting Of the Information
AT meeting of the Information
al Christian Endeavor Society in
Kansas City, Mo-. few years ago,
a missionary from India faced the
gathered thousands and asserted,
THE greatest stumbling-block in
the way of foreign missions is the
white mans attitude on the race
problem: and this is especially
true of the American white man."
Then, she made the startling de-
claration, "lf the white man could
square his actions in this respect
with the gospel he sends to the
heather, Christianity would sweep
the world!"
In Baltimore, some years ago. an
East Indian was exasperated be-
cause he had been denied entrance
into q theatre. being told "You
can't come In here; you're a mig
ger. His report was, II no niger;
Niger mean, low; you Niger"
Discussing this incident he re-
marked. 81 don't understand the
American white man. He come to
India whore we have million Gods;
he tell us about his Christ and I
like his Christ: no bring me over
here to go TO school and 20 back
and make my people like his Christ
now he call me Niger" Then, in
the most solemn tones he said, IT
like Christ: I do like Christ; but
damn the American white man!
These are just a few the many
thousands manifestations Of race
prejudice in the practice of reli-
gion, and such as these are hind
ering Christianity moro than the
devil, himself. Yes II is true, II
the white man would do right in
this respect Christianity WOULD
sweep the world.

WHAT YOU SEE AT THE
CENTURY OF PROGRESS

AS we turned to leave this great
Century of Progress. my mind
went back to the first settler OF the
3rd City OF the world who built a
little log cabin on the muddy bank
OF the Chicago river and out OF
that mud arose q city of nearly
100000 people and the End city
OF America. The first man to make
his home on this spot was Jean
Baptiste Point de Sable. a prosper
Gus and educated Negro OF French
extraction in 1777. He gave to
Chicago the first art collection and
library. He built Chicago's first
mansion and was the first citizen.
Just as Chicago grew up out of
the mud and became a great City
thru the strength and energy OF
the brains OF men. TO me came this
thought. that the minds OF men
conceived the idea and built a new
city,-the Century OF Progress out
OF the mud from the bottom Of
Lake Michigan and there on this
very spot brought the achieve
ments Of the past 100 years linked
with those OF the dark ages from
all the ends OF the world. Soon this
new city will be gone; will vanish
like magic city in thin air. and
will seem like a dream that could
only be constructed in the mind of
man. The achievements of today
are but the dreams of yesterday.

Dear Editor:
Upon reading the news article
of Mr.. Snow +. Grigsby's attack
on the Tubercular Hospitals and
Municipal Heads. II struck me
very forcefully that we now &C
tually have in Detroit a paper that
will publish all vital news con-
corning the race regardless OF who
Il may involve. For this step alone
the paper should be unanimously
supported by the Negroes OF De-
troit.
There was a time that such a
speech would not be published by
any local Negro paper for fear Of
diminished circulation. Your paper
no doubt. is treadiAe the same
path that 1.-The Boston Guardian"
has trod for thirty one years, pilot
ed by VIM. M. Trotter.
In my opinion. Mr.. Grisgby
should give his speech over again
in a larger place. for the Negroes
OF Detroit surely need to know
what is going on.
trust you will publish this
letter.
Wishing much success to the
Tribune, remain

When swoops down upon my heart,
With hungry beak and falcons sharp,
seek some quiet place apart,
And the Muse comes with her golden harp.
-
She smiles as she fingers the magic strings,
And bids me chant carefree song;
She plays her harp, and my spirit sings
Care flies away, and my heart grows strong.

the trained breed numbers some

homing pigeon races. In connec-

last great tragedy among these
little couriers of the air was re-
corded.
Fifty thousand birds were re-
leased in France to fly to Eng
land. Shooting homeward at ter
rifle speed, they were caught out
over the Channel in a great fog
and whirled by the power of the
storm and dashed downward
into the raging sea. Scarcely a
handful found their way to their

tiers Of a million dollars, while
condemning the government for
