papers that he, the president, also
went to church and prayed. There
Is a very serious cause for all the
trouble this old world Is going
through at this time, and it seems
to me, some of the wise guys and
George, or the Pope of Rome
leaders as the president, King
would have by this time, figured
out the cause, and had gone to
work to remedy 1t, at any price.
Strange to say, in the year of
1910 of our Lord, with the So
called Christian civilization at it's
height, we hold on to the power
of our own might. Christ came
and lived among us. He gave us
the law that would keep and save
us, only that we obey that law.
He told us above all things, to
love each other, as he had loved
us. He also stressed that fact, I'M
less we did love each other, and
do unto others, as we would have
them do unit us. We of course have
troubles that would cause us to
destroy ourselves Why then should
the leaders of both church and
state stand and see Gods children,
and their own brothers and sis
ters in the minority group of the
world, cruelty imposed upon, dis
eliminated, despised, put to death
by mobs, and Systematically rob-
bed by the so-called clever poll
ticians of the earth. They have
classed some of their blood re-
lation as lepers, and they have
refused to house or feed them,
though they had the good u. S.
money to pay for what they asked.
My sad experience in this Won
derful part of the country for the
past 81 years, and continually in
Seattle, makes me know the real
cause of this great disturbance on
earth today. Since my arrival here
/ have been forced to live in re-
stricted districts. l have had to
walk from 4 to Z blocks to secure
something to eat, passing probably
dozen restaurants and lunch
counters for whites only" In the
hotels and rooming houses they tell
you every room or apt. is taken
and expect you to believe it. In
the south, they are kicked about
like dogs and not allowed to take
any part in the great government
that they have served more than
any race living under this great
American flag, and yet, these So
called God fearing Christian lead
ers of the so-called democracy of
the world, have allowed this to
go on all these hundreds of years,
and now God himself is taking the
part of his weak, and helpless
children he loves just the same
Pray for Peace
Our President requests we pray
for peace, and we continue to COM
NIT these ungodly acts of inhu-
mainly to our own brothers and
sisters in Gods sight. No; Pres.
Roosevelt, King George, Bishops,
priests and Pope. You have all
stood by and held the coats of the
worlds worst enemies while they
took advantage of the weak. Then
even destroyed them by the thou
sands sold them down the river
for 80 pieces of silver and now God
is calling on you for the talents
he gave you to be good rulers,
and leaders, and you are found
wanting. You expect God to forget
his promise to destroy all people
of the earth that forget him. Christ
told us whatever we did to the
least of his children you have done
it unto him and if this is true
which it undoubtedly is, just for
the way you have treated me, you
have my sympathy.
Lest We Forget
For nearly 8 years President
Roosevelt, leader and father of the
American nation, has stood by and
held the coats of those southern
white hypocrits and allowed them
to burn, hang, discriminate and
murder the Negroes of the south
and he still holds these coats. re-
fuses to say a word of comfort
to these down trodden and most
loyal Americans, who through la
Dor have done more of the dreaded
hard work to beautify America
than any other race here. And
he, the President, has got the brass
of a monkey to ask the people of
the nation to pray, that this sort
of thing may continue. No, hell
