long time and not 60 TO sleep. 1t
Is especially hard on a warm, sunny
day. Anyway. Peter Rabbit was nnd-
ing 1t SO. He winked and he blinked
and he yaWned as he sat there on
the bank of the Smiling Pool, won-

thought him asleep. That is the
way he fishes. Many foolish little
fish and equally foolish little frog
has discovered the way down the
long throat of Longlegs just be-
cause they thought he was asleep
BY and by certain gentleman in
red came down on the Green
Meadows to see what there might
be there of interest. After a while
he took 1t into his head to run over
to the Smiling Pool. He has a
liking for FISH now and then, or

Pool was the gentleman in red.
And he knew by the way he was
acting that he had great hopes of
catching some one.
Just as the gentleman in red got
within two jumps Of Peter Rabbit,
Farmer Browns Boy was near
enough to see all that was going
on. He saw that in just about one
minute more Peter Rabbit would
be likely to be furnishing the gentle
man in red with a dinner. Hi

Now, this gentleman in red has

Smiling Pool. he would stand up
on his hind legs that he might see

man in red had no way Of knowing
that Peter was asleep. So, having
been fooled many times by Peter, he
took no chances this time. Crouch
ing down very close to the ground,
he crept and crept nearer and
nearer to Peter Rabbit. He was
so intent on Peter that he saw
nothing else.
Now. it happened that that morn

into his head to visit the Smiling

If the publication in the papers was
true, with reference to the statements
purported to have been made by Coun-

death of Cyril F. Butler, to the effect
that it was a "nigger's" job, then we
must admit that we have reached an
all-time low mark in this state.
These statements are hard to be-
lieve because we do not recognize any
job in our state as belonging to any
racial group. All men elected to public
Office should appreciate that they are
servants of the public and receive their
salary from all citizens regardless of
racial identity.
We regret very much to pay this
matter more than passing attention,
but statements of this kind going UNI
challenged serve as encouragement to
be more derogatory with reference to
racial or minority groups in subse-
quent statements.
The cOlored people are just as anxi-

BARRIERS DISAGREE

To the Editor of The Guardian:
The Blue Eagle BARRIERS wish to
make known few facts to the public
of Boston and to their patrons and
well-wishers. We read the GUAR
DIAN and we know that it is read by
the majority of colored people, hence
we take the privilege of consuming
some of your valuable space. There
has been for the past few months a
rift among the colored BARRIERS on the
price of haircuts. The bigger and
better shops We're contacted but no
agreement could be reached. One
shop would follow the other if it raised
its price.
Such play disguised the Blue Eagle
BARRIERS to such an extreme that they
informed their patrons that the prices
would be higher after a certain date.
1t is a great tribute to the Blue Eagle
BARRIERS in the whole hearted support
the patrons have rendered to them in
their stand for a higher standard of
living for BARRIERS. The Blue EARLE
BARRIERS have made this movement
with their eyes wide open, we'll aware
that there is keen competition all
around them. And they also know
that the Colored race is a race that
is willing to help any movement that
tends to benefit and uplife. Colored
people always paid for what they want
without fear.
The barber that has no confidence
IN his ability as barber and believes
that his patrons will desert him if he
raises his price is in a peculiar posi-
ton. The Blue Eagle BARRIERS have
not lost enough trade to keep their
competitors busy and from the present
outlook some of these first class ton
serial parlors will fall in line and
show the public that we can do some
thing ourselves.

ness another world war to make the
world safe for democracy" During
the fateful days that lie ahead, some
of us may be tempted to recall that,
inspired by the New Freedom" of
Woodrow Wilson, we marched off to
the last war and rescued democracy
from the clutches of the Huns only to
discover that behind all of the mist
of propaganda lurked the ogres of
cruel relationships. The potential
Hitlers, Mussolinies and others in
every country will undoubtedly well
come the new crusade to make the
world safe for democracy" the while
child labor, lynching, disfranchise-
ment and the other legitimate fruits
of our capitalist democracy will con-
tinue to ripen and fling their foul
scented aroma to all corners of the
world.
AS NINETEEN HUNDRED and
thirty-nine unfold it's hours into days,
its days into weeks and its weeks into
months we shall continue to remember
the interesting Biblical story about
"the Tower of Babel" The builders
in those by-gone days sought to escape
the ravages of a new flood by building
tower, however they finally became
utterly confused because they had
built the tower too high. Future gen
creations are likely to read the equally
fascinating story of how we became
confused because we had tunnelled our
tower of civilization by our unwilling
ness to discard human exploitation,
race prejudice, war and the other prac-
tees that are inherent in our present
economic system.
HOWEVER WE SHALL be content
to let nineteen hundred and thirty
nine chronicle its own story. For our
part, we shall continue to press with
voice and pen for the new social order
pivoted upon the basis of collective
ownership and democratic manage
ment of the socially necessary means
of life. This objective is the only soil
in which genuine democracy and true
civilization can flower The well or
gained and enlightened working class
can speed our steps toward this desired
and inevitable goal

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND
thirty-nine seems destined to be a
year of unusual significance and i'm
portance to all of US. All signs point
in the direction of increasing socio-
economic pains and problems. The
class lines between those who have
and those who have not will undoubt-
eddy grow less indistinct during the
New Year.
THE NUMBER OF voorhees, mil
lions searching in vain for an oppor-
tunity to sell their labor power in
order to provide themselves with the
bare necessities of life will increase,
while the few into whose hands rests
the financial and industrial resources
of the world will continue to decrease
in number. This latter group, with
sense of the impending fate to which
their system of private ownership of
the means of life is headed. will be-
come more braZen and desperate in
their zeal to save the old ship of CAPT
talism.
THE SMALL GAINS made by labor
in the United States during the past
wear will be attacked with unusual
ferOcity in the legislative halls of the
Nation by the political shock troops
of entrenched wealth seeking to de-
stroy even those small gains.
DURING THE NEW year. we are
likely to witness an increase in the
number of men with military training
who will be chosen to preside over
Federal, State and Municipal agencies
functioning among the voorhees, mil
lions of American toilers. The amount
of monies appropriated for military
purposes will be greatly increased
Strikes and lockouts, Notwithstanding
the N.L.RB. will also increase. The
cost of living will continue to rise anC
profits for the few will follow in its
wake even as the sunset follows the
sunrise.
IN SPITE OF all "pacts" and "pa,
cific agreements" which the nations
have made and will make we will con.
tinue to have wars until all the weaker
nations are consumed by the stronger
ones. 1t is likely that 1889 will wit.
