A HAPPY NEW YEAR ESTABLISHED 1976 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4425 VOLUME 32 AH WHY I DECIDED BE A NEGRO There has been such a demand for the original article which appeared lately in the Times—and which Attorney Willis O. Tyler answered so scathingly in our last issue—from both within and out of the city, that the Soaring Eagle has decided to publish the original article from the Times. Extra copies can be had at this office, also the answer of Attorney Tyler. In My veins is a trace of African blood. for long periods of time I have lived as a white man; no one has suspected the truth. But I have decided that I am a traitor to my race. I have talked it over with my wife. she agrees with me. Henceforth I am going to live with Negroes as a Negro. The wrongs of the colored people call out to me. I have a good brain and a good education. My people need me. I am going to answer the call. The colored race has entered onto a difficult period; it needs all the help it can get. My grandmother was a very pretty mulatto girl. She was a slave. I don't know how much white blood she had in her veins. A good deal I think There was nothing in her appearance to indicate that she was a colored woman. Her story was the story of thousands of slave girls. She was the mistress of her owner. He was a member of one of the most prominent families in Georgia. His relation with my grandmother was accepted by his family as a matter of course. His wife is still alive. She accepts me openly as a left hand grandchild. She has helped me many times. My father, who was the result of that relationship, was of course a white man in appearance. He married a mulatto girl- my mother-who also was nearly white. He was an intelligent man. He had a barber shop in a Georgia hotel and invested his money with such wisdom that the white people began to look upon him with disfavor and jealousy. One day a white man claimed to have lost some money in the bathroom of the barber shop and accused the shine boy of stealing it. My father said he was mistaken. Whereupon the white man drew a revolver and killed my father. We tried to bring the murderer to justice. My mother spent nearly everything my father left in attorney's fees; but the law refused to move. My father had committed a capital offense he had contradicted a white man. When I was old enough, my mother sent me to Tuskegee. She took in washing and sewing and kept boarders. She also educated my brothers and sisters. After I graduated from the college I went West to Kansas where I married a woman about as near white as I am. We had three children I made my living as a teacher. One of my children is very light without a trace of Negro in her appearance. Another is very beautiful. She has the soft olive complexion common to several white races. The youngest is dark, but is seldom taken for a Negro. Out there in Kansas our little family began the difficult life of white black people. We were neither Negroes nor whites. We never felt quite at our ease with white people; on the other hand, we were just as uncomfortable with a crowd of black people as you would be. Since slavery days, the real blacks have always been jealous and suspicious of mulattoes. Black men like to marry mulatto girls. You often hear about the eager men of blacks to marry white women. This is really not true. From show ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE bravado a black sometimes marries an outcast white woman; but I think he rarely feels love for her, either before or after marriage. The mulatto man, on the other hand, seldom if ever marries a black woman. There seems to be some instinct which bars the way to love between races. One of my children is a little girl as white as any white child you ever saw. She was the object of some attention from white boys at school. But she wanted nothing to do with them. I dont want them to think I would ever marry a white man she told her mother. I was glad of hear her say this. I have known of many marriages between the races. I think I have never known of a happy one. I had a little cousin in Georgia She was a little beauty with a skin as whitie as alabaster, but with the taint of an African in her blood. A young Englishman fell in love with her. His intentions were entirely honorable. He courted her under the parental roof. He understood perfectly what her ancestry had been. They were married. It didn't prove to be happy. He could not forbear to taunt her with being a "nigger." I know a white woman of great social charm who is married to a man with colored blood. She does not suspect it. She thinks he is pure white. She is puzzled, however, that he has refused a fattering offer to practice his profession in Georgia. Some day she will find out. Then another mixed marriage will smash up. We have never lived with black people. I suppose you would say that we have "forced our way" into neighborhoods. On account of our light color we have been able to rent houses in any neighborhood without suspicion. Once in the house we have never tried to conceal the truth. At first there has usually been a fuss. In every case we have lived it down. We have always ended by being treated with kindness. I need hardly say that we have never attempted to mingle socially with white people. As I say, my grandfather's wife has always recognized me and has helped me with her money. But I have a white uncle in San Francisco and another white relative in Los Angeles. Both are men of large affairs. I have frequently been to see them in their offices. They have always treated me with kindness and consideration. I have always kept away from their houses. In Kansas my daughter was one of the class of girls all of whom were white. She was invariably invited to their class parties. She always politely declined. On one occasion, however, the mother of one of the white girls insisted that she should attend a class function, and sent an automobile for her. She went to the party; was treated with every courtesy and had a good time. My pupils were mostly colored children. Some of them were real Africans who were born in Africa. I found that these latter had the minds of little children and never could learn much. The American born children of very black parentage had a peculiar characteristic. They went along very well for a while then they suddenly seemed to bump into a brick wall. There seemed to be a definite limit to the amount they could learn. But I observed that, as the years went by, the time of the limit was extended. Each generation could learn more than the previous one. My experience has been that the characteristic that we are accustomed to call "negro traits" are not really inherent in the black race. They are slave traits; not black traits. The old shiftless ragtime "nigger" who had no thought for tomorrow and no sense of responsibility has died. The colored man I have seen growing San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland --- A. B.

The recent food regulations have made a great change in the life of the southern negro; this change will be more apparent as the years go on. The scarcity of food has made "basket toting" impossible. In the South it has always been perfectly well understood that the colored woman in the kitchen would take enough food home to feed her family. With the changed condition, a new sense of responsibility has been placed upon the southern negro man, who has for the first time to provide his own meals. I do not agree with Mr. Irving Cobb who says that the gallantry of the negro soldiers in France has forever taken the sting out of the name of "nigger" in the South. On the contrary, I think the return of these soldiers to the South is going to bring about a lot of trouble.

At the First A. M. E. Ch to step off the sidewalk for every white man they meet in a southern city. We who have the welfare of the negro most at heart are anxious that these soldiers do not make the mistake of marrying French girls. That will be a great mistake. Inter-marriage can bring nothing but disaster. Many American negroes will stay in France where they will be welcome. It is hoped by all of us that they will send for women of their own race to help make their new homes. After some years in Kansas and other Eastern States I came with my family to Los Angeles. I found to my surprise that nearly one-twelfth of the population of this city is colored. Also I was surprised to find that the discrimination against my race was unusually severe and bitter here. In a way it is worse than in the South even with its Jim Crow cars an its shooting southern. I found that in Los Angeles it is almost impossible for a colored man to get a meal west of Main street. I know of colored professional men who at lunch time have to go to a "stool restaurant" and order a sandwich. They stand outside while it is being prepared. Then they rush in; slide onto a stool; wolf it down and slink out of the back door. I found that there are two distinct negro colonies; one east of Main St., and another in the southwest part of the city. In both of these negro quarters with bad sanitation and insufficient street work. They are not helping the negroes to make the most out of themselves. As an experiment I tried being white. I found that I could rent a house and get all kinds of white man jobs without any suspicion. To announce ourselves as negroes I knew meant to lose these jobs and to AM. LINCOLN THE EMANCIP.

She didn't want to be white. Providence had given us negro blood. We could accept its responsibilities. We were influenced by several considerations. We thought we could do more good as black people than as white people. To masquerade as white meant living a life of miserable deception and dread of discovery. To establish social intercourse with white people meant white marriages for our children. That was to be dreaded. Any woman with a trace of negro blood stands in dread of a tragedy. She is always likely to have a black child. The tendency is to breed back to black blood. --- We became members of the colony of white black people. I found that quite a colony of them exists in Los Angeles. Many of them, especially the women, are college graduates. Quite a few have lots of money and live in luxury. We are all negroes. We can't live with black people; we can't live with white people. We are a race to ourselves. From deliberate choice I intend to live all the rest of my life as a negro. My children are free to decide as they choose, but I feel confident that they will do as I have done. I want to devote the rest of my life to the uplifting of my race. I think the problem will in time adjust itself. When I look forward fifty year I can see the two races living side by side. They will never mingle in any social way. That means inter-marriage and inter-marrying between races is a reversal of the laws of nature. But I do not see why either race should eventually consider itself superior to the other. In the final analysis, the superiority ATOR. Wednesday evening January 1 the Emancipation of 4 million Be Sure You Are There. will be superior to some white and some white will be superior to black. The evil of black persecution began in the South, the remedy must be in the South. The remedy will be the education of the poor whites of the South. The education of the black man is taking care of itself. The South is neglected to a shameful extent. I do not speak of the southern rape cases which have brought disgrace to America throughout the world. In most cases monstrous injustice has been done—not to mention the cruelty. These outrages are about at an end. The remedy is purely industrial. The south is greatly in need of northern capital for development. The northern bankers will refrain. ```markdown ``` will be individual. Some black men furnish this capital unless the South shows that the law can be enforced. I don't know what will be done about the Jim Crow cars. No one can ever imagine the shame and humiliation of an educated colored man when the conductor on the southern train orders him into the Jim Crow care. But, at the present time, I don't just see the remedy. It must be a long tough pull for the negro. He must make good by a test never held up for a white man and he must continue to make good for a long time before the bars are let down. But in time they will be let down. Slavery is still too recent a memory in the South. The negroes must live down the crimes of their masters before they can claim industrial equality. Strange to say the one place the negro has won real equality is in the only autocratic institution that we have—the army. Except in some regiments officered by southern men, the negro soldier stands on a par with the white man. It is a terrible fate to be a negro, but its pains are not so acute as you might imagine. One can always endure the expected snub. It is the snub where you don't expect it that hurts. The negro always expects it. U. 8, S. Winifred, European Writers, Care Postmaster, N. Y. Sept. 28, 1918 Mr. Everett P. Teasdale. No doubt you have forgotten me after several months. I was City editor of the California Eagle, 814 Central Ave. I enlisted in the Navy Base Hospital Unit No. 3, of which Dr. Gary Smith was at the head. I remained with this Contingent several months and resigned at Philadelphia in May. I understand the Unit is in Scotland now. If you remember I was much interested in the National Defender's Yuletide Committee last year. With many other colored citizens I tried to help swell the fund in the success of the Masquerade Ball at Shrine Auditorium. I suppose you are now striving hard to duplicate your successes, yet on a multifold scale. I have been on this side since May and am getting along fine. Have had a wonderful experience both in England and France. My idea in writing you is to wish you much success in your good work, and can speak for myself as well as others in saying that it is a greatly appreciated pleasure to receive an ideal comfort kit from back home—in California—as last Xmas At the residence of Mrs. A.

Owing to the fact that Mr. Roberts has just recovered from a serious illness, all of the functions in his honor had to be postponed. But the Forum will on Sunday give a grand reception and a suitable program in his honor on the eve of his departure for Sacramento.

Peters to realize the enthusiasm that is being aroused over the National Tennis Tournament to be held in New York. August 16 to 23, 1919, and the prospect of the various different players being sent to represent the many clubs and if possible bring back honors to their native heaths. It is none too early to begin to send plans by which the $700.00 is to be raised to send our local talent to the far East. It has been suggested that each club give a series of dances, entertainments, fairs, and tournaments as a means of raising part of a sinking fund. Also considerable money may be raised by popular subscription. Los Angeles will probably be expected to dispatch at least our contestants, and it is up to these red-blooded athletic men and women to make their tennis playing ability decide just who is to be sent to the big city to represent the Los Angeles Tennis clubs and enthusiasts of the game. This means a lot of hard training and much practice for several prospective ladies and girls, so get busy, girls and the boys will follow your lead. Can't somebody inject some new life into that splendid little Pasadena club that cleared the boards of all honour one season, that certain Los Angeles players are trying to forget?

With the passing of a Merry Christmas we now beg leave * to wish you a Happy New Year. . .__ And now everybody enmasse are rising up to ask the real mission of Dr. Dubois and prineipal Moten to Europe at this particular time. _ With the passing of the old year let us hope that the be- ginning of the New Year will-present a united front all a- long the line for real and lasting progress and that all of our people will get closer together for common weal. The Community spirit, which means a closer touch of the people, one with the other, now sanctioned and urged by the state council! of defense, is the true “All American Spirit” and one that will bring great results for the people. NOW REALLY AND TRULY LET’S GET TOGETHER At this time on the passing of the old year and entering the vestibule of the New Year the Soaring Eagle in all sin- cerity suggests that our people shall really and truly come together and all join forces to the end, that out efforts shall crystalize and bear fruit. Let us imbide amongst ourselves the real spirit of Democracy, let us oureslves eschew pred- judice malice and hatred the, gue of the other; true, it is not expected or desired that We shall all think alike, but it is our duty to absolutely pull together on all the essential issues that spell progress, therefore it behooves us to forget all past differences and at the beginning of the year 1919 come together and work together to the end that we shall accomplish things that are really worth while. Who will- second the motion? THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE NEW YEAR The annihilation of the Chinese lottery Joints. All police officers get a square deal, and not be demoted or transferred when they make certain raids. _ All of the different factions amongst us come together. All classes of our citizenship get due recognition along po- litical lines. yon 4 The Lower Catifornia and Mexico Development Company get their proposed lands ready for the people. Roscoe Conkling Simmons wend his way to the Paciife Coast. The professional men of the race get neartr to the people. All bickerings, batréd and malice eschewed. The “holier than thou” and obessed idea of superior intelli- gence “Cut Out.” The realization dawn; that the people who become really great, must produce something. W.E.

As regular as the Christmas edition of the California Eagle goes forth, we are privileged to chronicle the fact that the far-famed employment king, J. W. Coleman, is still on deck and keeping abreast of the times and playing second fiddle to no other in his line in the whole country. As a matter of fact there are none among the many employment managers of our race who can measure up with the indomitable Coleman with a quaint humor and prolific flow of sound reasoning. Coleman is not only a benefactor to keep one in a job, but likewise as an advisor and lecturer, he instills into the minds of many higher ambitions and a stronger hope to do and accomplish something along the line of effort. Therefore among those who labor Coleman's name is a household word and his exploits along this line are varied and many from furnishing a buss boy at a second-rate boarding house to the most exalted positions to be had Coleman has qualified, and has even ran out of the city a "Black Special" loaded to the guards with help for the Cotton Fields and other agriculture fields in this and adjoining States. He specializes in "jobs" that's all. If you are out of a job Coleman's office is your haven and your refuge. He has jobs for sale; tat is his business and of course must have compensation for his effort, there is a regular scale of prices, sliding in a way, when according to the wage and importance of the position your fee is regulated. One of the strong traits in Coleman's character is his absolute good nature, and his readiness to at all times give his staunch support to all movements for the progress of his people, he is one of the foremost churchmen of this city, as well as an earnest and zealous fraternal man, having ascended the highest rung in Mansonry and Odd Fellowship. Along the line of effort in civic affairs he is always to the forefront, holds a record for attendance on the Forum and has been most prominent in the deliberations of that body, and on several occassions a leading candidate for the presidency of the distinguished organization. Others may come and others may go but Coleman goes on forever. The Eagle is wise to the COMEBACK of the Chinese Lottery Sharks and in our next issue will take occasion to talk about it, during this fight we have been educated most highly along the line of methods, and we are going to give what we have learned to the public for their edification and information.

MILTON W. LEWIS .949 Birch St. Phone Main 3958 THE MISSING LINK (Read at the Forum Inst. Sunday by Mr.E. Douglas Warren.)) Since time in memorial I believe, and surely since the earliest of my memory man has sought vainly for that animal which he thought connected him to the lower breed of things or "the missing link." However, I am content to let this be as it may, and banish it to the seas of mystery along with the other phenomena, but the missing link of which I speak is an integral quantity, a thing of most vital importance to the negro; yes, a thing that is destined to connect the negro of mental task to the negro of higher profession and literary education or figuratively speaking that is to unite the feet of this gigantic human structure, the negro, to his head. Indeed that thing which, when truth gets a hearing, will be declared the underlying cause of this world war; then surely a thing, if neglected by the negro, means a self-supporting people, and this thing is COMMERCIALISM. Why friends, we are all inlined to think that we are as capable and self-supporting as any other people, which is indeed loyal as a thought, but delusive in practice. Let us take an example: If tomorrow we were thrown out into the wilderness upon our own resources, and if our women should turn to us for the first principles of home comfort, where could we put our hands on the ready man to take charge of erecting a gas plant, or to supervise an electro-lighting plant, or to provide water on a large scale such as the Owens River project, and many other necessities which time will not permit me to mention. Are there any present here who could undertake any of these tasks? I dare say, none; for we, of the present generation, accustomed to an easy going life made possible through the art of present day science and inventions, would find ourselves more helpless than our grandparents who lived close to nature to that extent that they could go out and obtain those thing necessary to life. In all our high schools and colleges in and about the city, how many of our youths are taking courses in Engineering, either electrical, civil, chemical or mechanical? How many are preparing themselves in the applied sciences such as Chemistry, Physics or Geology? They tell us friends, that Africa is rich with gold, silver, diamonds, crude rubber, fine timber of all kinds among other things, from which other peoples are growing, immensely rich, while the negro finds it untenable; and why? I will tell you why; only for the lack of the above mentioned men, in other words, the COMMERCIAL MEN. When once we have these men, we shall not ask to be sent, but they will go, of their own accord, into the undeveloped places and produce for us millionaires like the French negro who was read of in our Current Topics last Sunday. negro shall mobilize his forces that he shall entrench himself around about the various fields of industry, and, at the earliest possible time, go over the top and not return until this missing link has been amply replaced by our scientific men, and the negro has the recognition as a commercial people among all races. Oh may we do as Mr. Roosevelt has said — Dream at night and set the next day." I hope, friends, that these remarks shall move you, not alone in words.

The ban being lifted on last Saturday at 4 p. m. the time was too short for many persons to learn whether or not there would be services at the different churches and in consequence the attendance at the churches was very light at both services. However, it is hoped that full congregations will greet the pastors of all the churches on next Sunday, it being the last Sunday in the old year. Everybody should attend. Watch-Meeting will be held at all the churches on Tuesday evening, December 31st. At the Friendship Baptist Church the regular annual business meeting will take place in the early part of the evening at which time all reports will be made and the elections of the Trustees, Church Clerk, Financial Secretary, Treasurer, Financial Collector and Chorister will take place.

Under the auspices of the Negro Welfare Committee of Pasadena, the Emancipation Celebration will be heeld at the Friendship Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, January 1, 1919. The Rev. Mrs. Palmer, pastor of the Grace Nazarine Church will deliver the Oration of the evening. The Rev. Mrs. Palmer is one of the greatest women speakers of the race.

Sister Palmer is especially anxious that a good number of young people be present as she has a special message for tem on whom the future problems will fall. A great chorus made up from all the different choirs will sing and all the ministers will take part. The Emancipation Proclamation will be read and other interesting numbers will be on the program. The Rev. W. H. Tillman is chairman of the committee with the Rev. Wm. Prince Vice-President and Mr. Frank M. Prince Acting Secretary. The great chorus will be directed by Capt. Wm. Reynolds and will make the welkin ring with the old melodies. All old veterans, Spanish War veterans and all officers and soldiers who are in the city are cordially invited to be present and reserved seats will be provided for them. Christmas was quietly observed among the race people in the city and a great quantity of the delicacies of the season was consumed by the very happy people. Innumerable dinners were served all over the city and many valuable tokens were exchanged. The dinner at which the writer was invited and gladly accepted was prepared by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Harrison, 87 S. Vernon Ave., where covers were laid for eight. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Williams and little son, Donald; Capt. and Mrs. Wm. Reynolds; Miss B. Collins and the very efficient host, hostess and daughter, Elizabeth. One long, grand gastronomical time was had. Mr. Harold Prince, Y. M. C. A. Secretary, stationed at Fort Wauchahire, Arizona, with the 10th Cavalry is home for a few days with his parents accompanied by two officers of the same place. THERE SHOULD AND WILL BE A Y. W. C. A. FOR OUR GIRLS Although, as is much to be regretted, there was not the representative number of Colored citizens met at the Y. W. C. A. headquarters Saturday evening as was expected by the officials in the interest of Negro girls still the Y. W. C. A. never held a more enthusiastic group. The cream of Negro society was represented and there were expressions from hearts full of interest in the future welfare of their race. The fact that the W. Y. C. A. National Secretary seemed very desirous of convincing the twenty-three representatives that to make this step for the welfare of their girls was no easy one; that it would require much sacrifice and hard labor—did not daint the enthusiasm of those present nor did it waver them one inch from their purpose. Some strong searching questions were asked by Rev. J. E. McCorkle about the duty of the Caucasian to the Ethiopian which caused some skirmishes. Rev. W. T. Cleghorn suggested some excellent plans, among others being a tag day to start the movement rolling. Policewoman Robinson spoke of the great need as she experiences it day by day for a place of protection for apd recreation of the Negro girl. She also told of offers already made to the upkeep of a movement of this nature. Mrs. Eugene Walker, Mrs. M. Patton, Mrs. Burdette were among other speakers who offered their services. Misses M. Albritton and B. Barron told of the great need of the Negro girl away from home for such a movement. Other club members spoke their readiness to sacrifice that the Y. W. movement for Negro girls might be realized. THE RIGHT OF THE GOV- ERNED W. J. Wheaton In a passenger coach of a Southern train recently a friend of a contributor to the Nation espied a veteran of Pershing's army. Upon an empty sleeve were tow six months' foreign service stripes and a wound chevron, and on his breast a medal of honor. Ordinarily it would seem as if one who had sacrificed as much for his country and democracy would be certain of all courtesy and friendliness from every fellow-citizen he met. But as he sat there the conductor of the train came to him and touching his worn uniform said, "You're in the wrong coach. You b'long in the Jim Crow-cat. Get out of here." The Negro looked him The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or content.

"I'll stay right here," he said firmly. "You could have talked to me that way once, but you can't now," and he pointed to his empty sleeve. "All right," said the conductor, "I'll soon fix you. Whereupon he called a burly brakeman and were about to throw this one-armed veteran out of the car, when the gorge of the Southern men who witnessed this humiliating scene rose, the train hands were ordered to desist and Pershing's veteran rode on in peace, the cole colored man in a car load of whites. "Oh, very well," said the conductor, just before he slammed the door, "that's just like you white folks; first you make the laws and then you break them." The foregoing is gleaned from the San Francisco Arconaut. Of course the incident is in no wise evidence that the democratic ideals for which that Negro soldier had fought and sacrificed had been accepted because the passengers in that coach objected to his removal. No, it was only the visual knowledge that a wrong was being committed on one who had borne a part of the burden to uphold the dignity of the Government, and whose uniform was an evidence I TWO VEHICLES Superior Equipment Means ECONOMY in SERVICE.

It did not mean that the persons who interfered when the train men sought to eject him from the coach, would vote for the elimination of the laws which compelled other Negroes to occupy a separate; or Jim Crow coach on the accounted their color, or the erase of their laws from the statute books of the state, which bars that same Negro wounded veteran soldier from exercising the right of franchise; the very ideal for which he had braved death on the field of battle; won the encomium of his commander, and been mained for life. It must not be considered for one moment that, that Negro, or the thousands of other Negroes who espoused the cause and fought for the ideals that caused the United States to enter the war, did it from the stand point of selfness, no, the reason that they faced the hell of battle and met the supreme sacrifice with a smile was that this country had raised a standard and emblazoned there-on, "For democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations for a universal dominion of rights by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace, and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free." It must not be considered for one moment that, that Negro, or the thousands of other Negroes who espoused the cause and fought for the ideals that caused the United States to enter the war, did it from the stand point of selfness, no, the reason that they faced the hell of battle and met the supreme sacrifice with a smile was that this country had raised a standard and emblazoned there-on, "For democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of rights by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace, and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free." It was a vision of equality before the law; surcause of mob violence; a right to have a voice in the selection of those who he desired to govern him, and an equal chance in the industries of the nation that spurred the Negro youths to deeds which has won for them a world's praise. This government can never redeem the pledge made in its war declaration until every polluted, ill smelling Jim Crow coach in which refined, sensible and educated Negro women are compelled to ride, is thrown on the junk heap, and every Negro as well, as white men is allowed the right to cast a ballot to determine who shall administer the laws. It is only the possession of the full rights of citizenship throughout the United States by the Negro that is going to eradicate the prescription placed upon him in the industrial field. It is only by the propaganda of forward thinking people, white and black, that the right of the ballot for the Negro is obtained, South as well as North. The appeal goes out, it comes from the rural school house mid the canebrake, it is echoed from cotton fields, men and women from every walk of life are waiting with bated breath to see if the edict emblazoned on the banner, which this Government—the United States of America—set up as a standard for the nations of the world, that, "The rights of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own Governments," is to be a reality, or was merely a hypocritical utterance to deceive.

MAIN It was a vision of equality before the law; surcause of mob violence; a right to have a voice in the selection of those who he desired to govern him, and an equal chance in the industries of the nation that spurred the Negro youths to deeds which has won for them a world's praise. This government can never redeem the pledge made in its war declaration until every polluted, ill smelling Jim Crow coach in which refined, sensible and educated Negro women are compelled to ride, as shown on junk mail, an open Negro well, white mail, the right to cast a ballot to determine who shall administer the laws.

In order to keep this great country of ours from becoming known as one of the great members of the Amasas society we beg the assistance of every justice loving man and woman in these United States to make that declaration a real and living thing, thus making this government what its founders intended it should be: "One people under one flag, each bearing the equal burden of the government and sharing alike its prosocial and activism." its founders intended it should be: "One people under one flag, each bearing the equal burden of the government and sharing alike its prosperity and advertisement." 1156 CENTRAL AVE COR.
