ing it, South tried every chance he
had.
The spade ace was led, and a
spade continued, on which South
played diamond. Now the ace and
king of hearts followed. If the
hearts had broken, South could have
trumped a diamond safely with
dummy's heart jack, but now he
needed that card to draw trumps.
He played heart. then a club to
his king, and then two more hearts.
South now played the club ace,
but the queen failed to drop. How
ever, South had one more string
to his bow. He played the spade
queen from dummy, throwing the
club jack from his own hand, and
West was squeezed. To keep the
high club he had to let 60 a dia-
mond, making all of South's dia-
monds good.

ARE WE AFRAID TO DO JUsTICE7

Are we afraid to do JUSTICE?
This is the must give to those pseudo real
lists who have forgotten to remember the ideasm which
carved for them, out of untouched continent those
realities to which they cling This is the challenge
must fling at those olaonsts who ignore the spirit that
created from the of the earth nation self su
cient enough to dream it could stand alone.
Are we afraid to do justice?
Must we fear fair treatment for all men? Must we
draw barrier of class creed color and say-at this
pontwe must modify ideal of equality of opportun
y and of justice before the law Must deny freedom
of speech worship to those who do not think do
Must keep people in the shackes of ignorance
for fear that learning would lift them to level? Are
afraid to give to all the rights claim for
selves?
Are we afraid to do justice?
The world is too small for anything but brotherhood.
But to establish brotherhood there must be justice toward
all Whoever fears justice for others will practise
justice upon others.
Are afraid to do justice?
The one way to make sure that there will not be
another is to mete out justice toward all men every

bin, who in his recent letter
said he was misunderstood"

Never was there a time for an
official stand on inter-racial
harmony in Boston as now. The
proposed Monroe Trotter Inter
racial Award should be a good
one since it is the only such
suggested of its kind. 1t would
go to white or colored annually
as decided by the judges. For
example, last year it might have
been awarded to Mrs. Roosevelt
or Judge William Hastie. The
memorial could be a medal, cup
o rtrophy and here in Boston
the Mayor and the Governor
should make the annual amity
presentation orations, dedicated
to better inter-racial relations
in America. And why not?

The proposed Crispus Attacks

be signed by the Mayor and our

they would object. A NERL del

And the National Equal Rights

achievement tending toward
better human relations is a
third award of Importance. 1t

The Madonna of The Chair
BY BETTY THOMPSON

By BETTY THOMPSON
Raphael, an Italian artist great,
Was in search for a Mary fair,
Until one day in Venice state,
He found THE Madonna Of the Chair.
No paint or cloth did he have at hand;
Hunting his pockets he sadly stopped,
He suddenly looked down on the sand,
And spied wooden barrel-top.
He studied, and finally made sketch
Of the babe and mother rare,
With pencil or piece of charcoal to fetch
The forms of The Madonna Of the Chair"
And SO, today, in many home,
You find its frame so round.
O, Madonna, your grace shall ever roam
Through all Gods cities and towns.

His Honor Can Help

The Boston Branch of the
National Equal Rights League,
Louis E. Pasco, Sr, president,
will meet this week in a drastic
reorganization program which,
during 1914 may send delegates
to both the Mayor and Cover
nor of Boston and the Common
wealth for a bold and clear cut
statement on Bay State post
war policy regarding Colored
citizens.
Mayor Tobin in his letter to
the Colored Press said he be-
lieved in a unified, composite
America" of zone people" all
striving for the democratic
ideal". The Equal Rights League,
it may be thus assumed, may
ask His Honor to become an
honorary member" TO prove
his good faith. The same may
be justly requested of our Gov
ernor and all succeeding mayors
and governors who speak and
write their allegiance to Democ-
racy. Some may refuse to join,
but it will be interesting to
know those who will. The NERL
is not a political bandwagon, it
has nothing to do with Moscow
and its steeped-in-Democracy
symbol is Crispus Attacks. We
can see why Hitler and TOTO
might not join and even why
Talmadge might not join but it
remains to be seen why liberal
Boston leaders" can not aid in
bringing about equal rights for
all races, creedS and colors in
America. BY his own writing,

tiers too numerous to mention
all testified that the NAACP
was battling on all fronts for
the full indignation of the
tenth segment of our native
population.
This organization was not
alone in 1913. Things praise
worthy, might be said of the
Urban League, National Equal
Rights League, the March on
Washington movement and a
score or more of labor groups
who are especially interested
in the battle for full produc-
ton. These are organized
groups whose mettle has been
tested. They have been weigh
ed in the balance and have
not been found wanting. AM

ilege to be identified with
them.
If our nation is to fulfill it's
destiny, black organized Amer
lea must have a full share in
the Job. The pattern during
the last one hundred and fifty
years was cut from the open
protest of black America. In
fact for two hundred. and fifty
years, colored America has
played a prominent part in the
social and political growth of
this land. Why the Declaration
of independence, the North
west Ordinance, the Abolition
ist movement, the Fugitive
Slave Act, The Liberty and
Free Soil Parties, bred Scot,
Bleeding Kansas, the Civil
War, John Brown, The 18th,
18th and 18th amendments
and the Emancipation Procla-
nation? Like a bright colored
thread, we stand out, pre-
eminently, on the pages of
American history. Our eyes
have been and are focused on
the North Star" And while
we hitch our wagons to this
star, let us not forget to look
