September l, 1910.
Editor: Just line or two to you
and your reading public, to ex-
press a thought that has been run
ming through my mind on this
beautiful Labor Day morning.
This being a day set aside and
dedicated to the working classes, l
wonder if we can but for a moment
realize it's significance, in that we
as a group feel the pangs of class
hatred and discrimination in our
hearts today, can carry on with an
honest desire without asking our
Heavenly Father, through prayer,
to let us not deceive ourselves.
AS grow older in life, its mys-
teries confound me at times to the
extent that 1 wonder if my own
heart is true to me. The desires we
have to do good for our neighbor
are of good intent, if accepted, and
if not, we probably turn in disgust
and pledge never again" Is it
then, that we deceive ourselves
and our neighbors by stopping to
do good for one another?
In the past few years I have
read and observed in your edi-
torials and headlines, many articles
indicating your desire to do those
things related to in the above para
graph. Today, Mr.. Editor, is a day
when we cannot stop doing, but

Keep Out of the
Gutter
By DIR. Charles Sickle

The percentage of Negroes of
the total population in the United
States today about equals the per-
centage of the foreign born. The
progress made by both groups is
credit to them, but by far the
greatest honor should go to the
Negro race, because of the tremen-
dous handicaps which have been
placed upon Negroes from every
standpoint.
In the first place, foreigners
came to this country as a matter
of choice, and they have been given
every encouragement to succeed,
scarcely any door being closed to
them. They were accepted upon
an equality with native Americans
in practically every particular and
given an equal chance. About the
only limitation placed upon them
was that no foreign-born citizen
may become President of the
United States.
On the other hand, Negroes were
originally brought to this country
against their will, and subjected to
the degrading conditions of slav-
cry, and for a couple of centuries
we systematically and deliberately
expunged from them the qualities
which fit a man for citizenship in
democracy by depriving them of
nearly every privilege granted to
the white man.
We compelled the Negro to live
in the worst physical sections of
our cities and towns, often without
drainage or sewerage or garbage
facilities; we drove the worst
forms of immortality and deprav-
ity into the Negro quarters of the
city; if a "Red Light" District were
permitted, it was usually confined
to the sections in which the Negro
was compelled to live; and then we
cursed the Negro because of his
"moral weakness" Until very re-
Gently his opportunities for secur-
ing an education were very limited.
In times of depression the Negro
was the first man to lose his job,
and the last man to be re-em-
ployed. Even to survive under
such conditions required character
and ability with which the Negro
is rarely credited.
Isn't it about time that we gave
him a fair chance? Neither race
hatred nor mawkish sentimentality
will settle this question. And don't
let's forget that "you can't keep
man in the gutter without getting
into the gutter with him." The
future of the Negro lies as much
with the white race as it does with

the Negro race. Labor, in par
ticular, must face this question.
If the standard for Negroes is kept
at a low level, the progress of
white workers will be proportion
ately halted. AS a matter of self
defense-if for no other considera-
tion-we must be loyal to the high
principle which Organized Labor
has set for itself, namely, "never
to discriminate against a fellow
worker on account of creed, color
or nationality"

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

Let Me Grow Lovely
Let me grow lovely
As I grow old,
A sweeter disposition have
To forget how to scold.
Let me grow lovely
Like many fine things,
Mature with age and my voice
Not crack when it sings.
Let me grow lovely
In whatever / do,
To get real joy out of doing
Then to myself Pm true.
Let me grow lovely
Never asking for reward,
In righteous labor / rest
Helpfulness keeps me never bored.
Let me grow lovely
Just like the trees,
Stately, rooted in years of truth
A refuge from lfe's stormy seas.
Let me grow lovely
Is my daily hope,
Some help to mankind I've been
Shining brightly for those who grops.
