forgotten: Southern birth and
background do not of necessity
make white men intolerant Of our
race, nor does Northern birth en-
dow white men with all the gifts
of racial tolerance and brother
hood.
We make no excuse for the gen.
eral prejudices of Southern whites.
We do, however, take issue with
an editorial in the Cleveland Call
Post of August 2, in which it be-
rates the fact that President
Roosevelt has seen fit to appoint
one Mark Etheridge Ia Southern
err as chairman of a committee to
investigate discrimination in de-
tense work. Perhaps the Call Post
does not know of Mr.. Etheridge's
record. He has lived and worked
in the very citadel Of Southern
prejudices and championed the
cause Of Negro equal rights. He
has stood foursquare and almost
alone and fought this battle
against the practically solid ranks
of his fellowmen. Why? Purely
out Of the dictates Of his con-
science, because he surely had
nothing to gain and all to lose in
fighting this fight, in opposing his
own who hated his cause most.
We who know Mr.. Etheridge's
tolerance and liberality, endorse
him upon his record alone for this
position, and challenge the Call
Post to suggest someone better
fitted for the job.

We should all start now shutting
our eyes and stopping our ears to
that type of leadership in any

somebody or some institution in
order to make room for himself or
that which he promotes. If a lead
