CASE IS ONE OF IMPORTANCE Became a Law in Baltimore First—Cities Have Approved It—Custom Rapidly Spreading. Washington, April 21.—The United States Supreme Court heard arguments for and against the validity of Louisville's segregation law Monday and Tuesday, April 3 and 4, Moorfield W. Storey, former president of the American Bar Association and present head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, took up part of the two days in contending against the law. He said that it not only violated the principles of justice but was an infringement upon property rights. The case is one of grave importance to the Colored residents of Baltimore, where the law was first passed; Atlanta, St. Louis, Dallas, Texas., Richmond, Va., and other places. The Maryland Court of Appeals recently sidestepped a decision as to the validity of the Baltimore law, awaiting the decision in the Louisville case. Clayton S. Blakely, Louisville, appeared with Mr. Storey, having been retained by Colored citizens and organizations of that city. Justice Pitney asked many questions of Mr. Beckley concerning those features of the ordinance which prevent a Negro from living in a house after he has purchased it provided the house is on a "white" block. He wanted to know if, under the law, a Negro purchasing such property would be required to allow it to remain untenanted until enough white people moved from the block to give the Negroes a majority and thereby make it a "Negro" block. Mr. Beckley replied that the law did provide this but he held that white people were subject to the same provisions in such sections of Louisville; he said the population was constantly shifting and such property seldom remained idle for more than a few months. He pointed out that the law did not affect the right of a Negro to live on a "white" block if he owned the property prior to enactment of the law. Mr. Storey declared the ordinance to be in violation of Section I of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution in that it deprived one set of American citizens of rights and privileges given to others. He held that it made no difference whether the denial of these rights affected whites or blacks. "The Constitution gives to every American citizen the same rights," (Continued on second page) Use the Monitor to Reac Colored People of Nebr Will N. Johnson Wins the Republican Nomination For Public D Use the Monitor to Reach the Colored People of Nebraska. Will N. Johnson Wins the Republican Nomination For Public Defender [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his lapel. The background is plain, with an oval frame around the portrait.]] WILL N. JOHNSON, Attorney Republican Nominee for Public Defender The primaiers are over and we have triumphed gloriously. Will N. Johnson has won the nomination for the office of public defender on the Republican ticket, defeating his nearest competitor by more than 500 votes. John W. Long, candidate for state representative, also made a good showing, being defeated by a very narrow margin. These were the only two of the three Colored candidates, who in our judgment, had any show of winning. We did not believe that G. Wade Obee who filed for the Water Board had the remotest chance of success, and yet he received a fair sized vote. He was not the lowest man on the ticket. The good showing that all these men made demonstrates what we as a race can do by united action. It was definitely known at the outset that the Colored Americans of this community whose registered voting strength, according to the official returns from the election commissioner's office is about 2,000, ninety per cent of whom are republicans, were very much dissatisfied with the political recognition they had been receiving and were organizing for effective work. This led the powers that be to believe, and they are correct in this belief, that, if they desired to pull through their slates they r to Reach the e of Nebraska. Wins the Nomination r Public Defender must give recognition on their slate to the Colored voters. And so both Johnson and Long were placed on respective slates. This undoubtedly brought strength to the slates and also to the candidates. An analysis of the votes shows that the race vote was loyal to its candidates and to their friends. If the unregistered Colored voters had registered and voted Long, in all likelihood, would have been nominated, too. But be that as it may, the result shows the wisdom of united action upon the part of our people, and justifies the acumen of the slate-makers. The nomination of Will N. Johnson is indeed a victory. It shows a regaining of lost ground. The indications are that this will be a republican year. In the event that it is, Mr. Johnson ought to be elected. We must see to it that every available voter of our race is registered and votes. Mr. Johnson ought to be elected. He has had the training which qualifies him for the position and in it he can and ought to make good. Let it be known that the race is solidly and unitedly for him and he will win out at the election in November as he has won out at the primaries in April. Unite. Concentrate. Act. Volume I. Number 43 A German Problem Threatens America Chicago University Professor Thinks This Will Result Should Teutons Be Defeated. GERMANS WILL BE ISOLATED. Their Position and Attitude Will be Similiar to That of Colored Americans. A Chicago University professor has expressed himself rather forcefully on the present war in Europe. He thinks after the defeat of Germany there will be a German problem similar to the present Negro problem. He thinks the Germans will be a "sore" and will be isolated socially, as are the Colored people today. His own words follow: "Sir—The German-American problem as it touches our national life and interests has not, in my opinion, been fairly stated or discussed since the beginning of this world war. From the point of view of history, and of natural social evolution, most of our editors of newspapers and other periodicals have contented themselves with straight partisan treatments. To me it is as natural for the well-to-do German, whether born in Germany or in the United States of German parentage, to side with Germany in the present crisis as it was for the well-to-do Southerner in the Northwest to side with the South in 1860. "What I fear from the present discussion of the problem is that when the war is over we shall have a permanent German problem not unlike the Negro problem. With Germany defeated, our German element will be sore in feeling and isolated socially. Our best men are making this certain by their speech and conduct. To me our interest requires us to become a nation as soon as possible; but every great mass of men who vote en bloc, especially if they speak a foreign tongue, defers that day. The one justification of disfranchisement of the blacks in the South, if there is any justification, would be that, as the exslaves regain their privilege of voting, they would or might, if carefully treated, divide and become simply American voters. "As things now stand, we are soon to have a solid German vote, a solid labor vote, a solid capitalist influence, all added to the solid South or set up against it. I am not sure that this is not inevitable as things stand in the world; but why make things worse by ignorant discussion? "Possibly I ought to say that I am not in any sense a pro-German trying to influence opinion. My feelings and my judgment as well are with the allies. But I think a newspaper which gives the news and comments on the news is so important in this country that an understanding of the (Continued on eighth page) General Race News 2 DISCOVERS HE IS WHITK . Philadelphia, Pa., April 21.—George Hickman, who, for seventeen years has been raised a son of a Colored family, has learned that his “mother and father” whom he loved so well, are not of his own kind. The lad was brought into court by his foster fa- ther last week. He. was crying. The judge asked him what was the matter, “My mother and father”’—and he meant foster. parents—“have always been very good to me and bought me all my clothes, and I don’t want to leave them, but I want to go with my own mother,” exclaimed the child. “Tt would ruin the lad’s future to réveal his mother’s real name,” said Judge MacNeille afterward. “The péopel who aré helping me in this case are doing so on the one condition that they shall not become known in the matter. After the boy has received a high school education he will be sent to one of the best colleges in this country by a business man here. “What I am endeavoring to do Is to compensate the family for caring for the lad these thirteen years. It’s the most difficult problem I have ever found. The foster parents were good to the boy. They are heart-aen by the thought of losing him.” WESTERN YOUTH TO BECOME INSTRUCTOR AT TUSKEGEE Watertown, S. D., April 21.—Mr. Cleveland Abbott, the best student that has ever attended the South Da- kota State College, has been elected head dairyman at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. He will have sole charge of one hundred and fifty Jer- sey cows of the best blooded stock and will direct twenty-five men in caring for. this prize herd. Mr. Abbott will graduate this spring. He has special- ized in the dairy husbandry depart- ment and is well qualified to teach the various phrases of the dairy busi- ness to the agriculture students. He made a fine record while at school, working his way through, earning every bit of his expenses by working early and late and has been at the head of his class each year, be- sides taking important part in foot- ball, track, basketball and baseball. He has been a member of every athlet- ie team that has represented the State for the past four years, winning his letter in every branch of sport. Mr. Abbott’s election and his. ability is only an illustration of the demand for students who have been trained, and has set an example for the young Race boys to follow. FAITHFULNESS REWARDED. Philadelphia, Pa., April 21.—For her excellent services and devotion, Miss Marion Price, a Colored woman of this city, who has been a cook in thehome of A. J. Drexel, a banker for fifty years, has been provided by her employer with a home to live in dur- ing the rest of her life. Two servants have been hired to wait upon her and a large monthly allowance is at her disposal. . ELECTED ALDERMAN, East St. Louis, April 21.—S.

THE MONITOR DALLAS GETS SEGREGATION. - Dallas, Texas, April 21—On the municipal election held Tuesday, April 11, a segregation law was adopted by a vote of 7,613 for to 4,693 against. The ordinance was strongly opposed by the several thousand Colored vot- ers of this city. The law is similar to one in force in Baltimore. In speaking upon the result. the Dallas Express makes the following editorial comment: “These are dark days for the Afro- American. Hunted by the mob, in- timidated by the ruffain, outlawed by society and segregated in every con- ceivable way and in every quarter of the republic, the black man faces fate with a concern which is altogether commendable. He has been reading history and in the light which steams from its pages, he sees that there have been darker days for him than these for him in ‘darkest America.’ He saw the Missouri Compromise and he witnessed its work. He was the victim of the Fugitive Slave Law and survived. He was sitting there when the United States Supreme Court de- sided that a ‘Negro had no right which a white man was bound to re- spect.” He survived that decision; aye more, and he still lives, and if he survived these things, he will not dis- appear on account of the ism of seg- regation.” NEAR CENTENARIAN BECOMES A BENEDICT Kansas City, Kans., April 21.— Jones Mitchell, one of the old citizens of this place and living at 925 South Twenty-sixth street, went for the fifth time to the Wyandotte county pro- bate court Saturday, April 8, where he obtained a marriage license, and shortly afterwards was married by Judge J. T. Sims to his fiance, Mrs. Maria Cunningham. Mr. Mitchell is 98 years of age and Mrs. Mitchell 50, this being his fifth wife and the third husband for the bride. “I’ve out- lived my other wives and I’ve lone- some,” the aged gentleman explained. “I just needed company and this here woman was willing to be wed.” The couple left the court room loving as two turtle doves and happy as the birds in May. AGED MAN SAVES PASSENGER TRAIN Lufkin, Texas, April 21.—Lincoin Washington, ninety-four years old, ex- tinguished a burning bridge near here and then flagged a passenger. train, averting a wreck. A purse aren teen dollars was taken up by: pas- sengers and given him. The railroad officials have sent his act. of bravery to Andrew Carnegie and have applied for medal. by BRAZIL QUELLS SEDITION. Rio Janeiro, April 21.—A seditious movement organized by the federal deputy, Maurice Lacerda, has, been put down by the police and various arrests have been made. The govern- ment has opened an inquiry into the movement, which aimed at inciting certain elements in the army and the police to overthrow the government and establish a parliamentary repub- lic. SEGREGATION LAW NOW BEFORE SUPREME COURT said Mr. Storey; “it gives to each what he gives to every other one. It forbids that you shall say to one, “You shall not buy land there, be- cause you are not white,’ or that ‘you shall not buy land there because you are not black.’” The Boston lawyer laid stress on the:fact that while the ordinance for- bids a Negro to live next door to a white man, it does not prevent that ‘man’s Negro chauffeur, cook or butler living in the same house or in the rear of the house. ‘ “Race prejudice laughs at back fences,” he said. Justice McReynolds asked Mr. Storey if under his argument race segregation in all forms were not a disregard of rights. The Boston man held that it is, and then Justice Mc- Reynolds asked if the attorney be- lieved it possible to segregate with- out violating some one’s rights. “No,” said Mr. Storey. “No one outside this courtroom,” said Mr. Storey, “would imagine for an instant that the predominant pur- pose of this ordinance was not to pre- vent the Colored citizens of Louis- ville, however industrious, thrifty and well educated they might be, from approaching that condition vaguely described as “social equality.” If one of those who enacted this ordinance were defending his course before his constituents he would ask their ap- proval just because he had succeeded so well in establishing a permanent superiority for the white race.” SEEK TO PRESERVE JEWS’ GOOD NAME To Prevent Its Libel in Print, On Stage or Screen, Object of Anti- Defamation League. To preserve the good name of the Jew, to prevent its libel in newspapers, magazines and literature, or on the stage or screen, are aims of the B’nal Brith Anti-Defamation league, as outlined by its chairman, Sigmund Livingston, of Bloomington, Ill., chief guest at the banquet given Sunday evening, April 9, at the Henshaw to celebrate the sixteenth birthday of McKinley lodge of this order. Over 300 guests were present. “On every Jew is enjoined the ne- zessity of living up to the highest standards of civic righteousness and virtue, while living up to the tenets of his people at the same time,” said the speaker. “The Jew must be of pure gold in order to be taken for silver, on account of the handicap he has borne for ages. All the Jew asks is to be judged, not prejudged. It is the libel of the Jew n Mother Goose rhymes and in the Shylock of “The Merchant of Ven- ce” which teach miscopceptions and which saturates the youth of the and with a poison which the most powerful antidotes cannot cure,” he asserted. The libel of the Jew has a perni- cious effect on public opinion, the speaker pointed out. He appealed to the Jewish youth to respond to ideals of Judaism and intimated that the B'nai Brith order would stand ready to demand human rights to the op- pressed in other lands at the peace conference of the European nations when it is called.

WILLARD-JOHNSON PICTURES MAY BE SHOWN HERE New York, April 21.—If Uncle Sam and his justice department lets Johnson alone, fight fans all over the United States will have opportunity to see the Johnson-Willard fight films, despite the law forbidding interstate shipment. Johnson got the films into the United States by one of the craftiest law evasions on record. He displayed the films in Canada a foot from the New York state line and photographed them with a camera in New York state. He plans to project them from state to state in the same fashion. The Department of Justice is up a tree. Six rounds of the films were shown here in a private show last night. --- The real test of the government attitude will come next Monday, when the films are shown in public. If the government "lays off," the state-to-state program will start.

Easter Neckwear |S Our Women and Children Who never seeks, when cares oppress, Some hidden cause for happiness; Who does not learn before the end ‘How much it means to be a friend; Who never sees along the way Some beauty touch each common day; Who has no goal set far ahead, Toward which in patience he may tread; Who does not find in every hour Some proof of God’s abiding power; Who does not vow, that though he fail To reach his goal, he shall not quail, But thankful be, through peace, through strife, He walks with joy his way of life! By Mrs. Frank Learned. Much of the happiness of life de- pends on making a wise choice of friends. A girl’s friends and companions show just what sort of a girl she is. A girl who is refined in her tastes will not associate with those who are loud in manner, coarse in speech, and conspicuous in dress. One must remember that “no friendship is worth the name which does not elevate and does not help to nobility of conduct and to strength of character. It should give new zest to duty and new inspiration to all that is good.” SPRING’S APPROACH. By William Edward Ross. Every time th’ Souf Win’ blows, Ticklish feelin’ in mah nose, Makes me sort o’ hol’ mah breath— ’Fraid I'll seare Ol’ Win’ to death By the mighty way I sniff, When I catch his fragrant drif’— For I jucks that I can smell Springtime comin’ up the dell. Blow, Ol’ Souf Win’, blow yo’ best! Blow th’ swallows to their nest! Blow th’ blossoms to th’ vine! Blow th’ cones unto th’ pine! For I vum of all the year Spring’s th’ time to me most dear, ‘An’ my heart renews its spring Every time I hear you sing. Altruistic effort is of three kinds: First is that which is palliative—to mitigate evil which cannot be cured. Second is that which is remedial— to cure and restore, Third, that which is constructive— to add to the forces which make for the good. The Charity Ball will help make a payment on N. W. C. A.

It was formerly the custom for the head of each family, on the evening before Easter, to extinguish the fire that had been kept burning all the year on the household hearth. On Easter morning, when the brands had turned to blackened embers, and the ashes had: almost grown cold, the young men removed the grime and fire-charred fragments, and swept and made clean the fireplace. Then the young women brought flowers and green boughs, and built within the fire-tried Walls a bower of beauty. In the evening, a new fire was laid. Then the priest, bearing the consecrated flint from the church, made a pil- grimage from one home to another, lighting in each a new hearth-fire, to be cherished and kept burning during the coming year. When the fires of faith burn low, and the heart is as ashes and dust, then it is that-a new hope and a new faith are lighted with the spark from the sacred Source, On the first Eas- ter morning, as the body of our cruci- fied Lord lay in the narrow resting- place of Joseph the Arimathaean, the eleven disciples were sorrowful and perplexed. Some of them were doubt- ful; all were douncast. The fires of faith had all but burned out, and the ashes of hope ahd grown almost cold. But those two faithful women, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary, still clung to His glorious promise of resurrection, As the sun shone out over the rugged ramparts of Jerusa- lem, they drew near to visit the sep- ulchre. Christ had risen. In a single instant the fires of hope and faith were rekindled, to burn in the heart of humanity for all time. The world’s faith in immortality is greater today than it has been at any other time since the great day when the Son of Man rose from the tomb. Never before has man believed so firmly as now in the imperishability of his soul, for never before has there been so much mutual helpfulness. Never has this life seemed so brief, with so little time for the service which an awakened consciousness of brotherhood demands; and never be- fore has it seemed so inadequate to the full development of man’s poten- tial greatness. “I go to prepare a place for_you.” With these words Christ expressed his own unwavering faith in the immor- tolity of man. On the cross he said: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spizit.” Thus his last utterance voiced a belief in the certainty of a future life. By faith he achieved the highest nobility possible to one who dwells on earth. The world’s sole reliance to- day is faith—faith in God’s power to harmonize the discordant elements and unite men in universal brother- hood. The brotherhood of man is today experiencing the severest tests it has ever known; but it promises to rise triumphant to them all. By faith we shall convert all that is evil into good; and all that is ogod we shall dedicate to God.—Mother’s Magazine. THE RIGHT WAY. arg SSE VSS SC, Rough is the way of life? Ah, no!

To a mere man, accustomed to find his pipe and slippers in the ordained places, "houses-cleaning" signifies something like a cross between a nightmare and an earthquake. For, in spite of all the achievements in science, invention, and labor-saving device, modern woman has not, in the mass, improved much on her ancestors' methods of house-cleaning. Take, for examples, the broom and the dust-cloth—those two abominable first-aids to disease. In ninety-nine households out of one hundred, dust is stirred mightily from the surface of floors, carpets, or rugs. Some of it is swept out, and some is deposited over everything within range—to be stirred mightily once again, after it "settles," by means of the dust-rag. There is only one clean, hygienic, safe way to sweep and dust, and this is to use a vacuum cleaner-not once or twice a year, but regularly. A well built cleaner will, without the necessity of removing anything from the rooms, clean furniture, beds, clothing, and everything having a top dressing of dust. If the possession of a vacuum cleaner is out of the question, never "dry sweep." Use moistened tea-leaves, handfuls of damp torn newspapers, or one of the various excellent preparations for sprinkling over the floor. This will help to keep the dust from flying. Also, Thoreau's simplified method of housekeeping—or a modification of it—might, in most households, well be adopted. Thoreau, you remember, when he found his geological specimens energetically gathering dust, opened the front windows and gently heaved the entire collection into the adjacent parish. Heads of households—by which, of course, I mean women—should follow his illustrious example. All gim-cracks, useless "junk," heavy hangings, and dust-catching trumpery should be got rid of in one grand potlotch, such as the very sensible Siwash Indians hold occasionally. Life would then be easier, nerves would be quieter, infection dangers would be lessened, and man's harassed lot be infinitely brighter. Hygienic Value of Paint. Another thing that has a hygienic as well as an esthetic value is paint—clean, fresh paint, having quality and body sufficiently vigorous and well developed to stand plenty of scrubbing and frequent "wipings down." For old Archimedes himself could never begin to estimate the numbers of noxious germs and microscopic bugs that hold high revel on dirty walls. In fact, it is now known that, in hospitals that used to show a high mortality in childbirth and operative cases, the septic infection had its origin in contaminated germ-covered walls. Turpentine and alochol, used largely in the mixing of paint, are excellent antiseptics—although a note of warning should be sounded in respect to the use of wood alcohol, which may have a very deleterious effect upon the eyes. See that a nice coating of glossy paint is distributed over those surfaces that should be painted, and thereby reduce the bug population in your household. Lime is one of our best germ-killers and deodorizers. In fact, it is good common sense to say nothing of esthetics—to look upon dirt, in any and all forms, as dangerous. It is a part of the new education of women to understand the actual life-and-death importance of these things. Meanwhile, woman's emancipation from the thraldom of domestic labor lies largely in her own hands. When she uses to constructive purposes the great mental gifts which won civilization from savagery, and which have tamed and domesticated the nomad man, house-cleaning, the servant problem and all other household problems will have been solved. ELIMINATING THE POSTAGE STAMP. There has lately been placed in service by several American firms with unusually heavy mailings a postage meter which, instead of affixing the usual postage stamps on mail matter, makes an impression in the upper right-hand corner. The new postal meter performs several tasks, such as sealing, stamping, facing and counting approximately 250 pieces of mail matter per minute. The envelopes, unsealed and unstamped, are placed in a compartment of the machine much in the same manner as they would be placed in a box, the mechanism handling the envelopes automatically from that point. The stamping mechanism not only makes an impression on the envelopes, but also counts, the numbers appearing in a descending serial on top of the stamping meter. The meter is so made that its mechanism can only be adjusted by the post office authorities, who set it for the number of impressions the user has paid for. When that number of impressions is exhausted, the meter automatically locks and no longer stamps mail matter, necessitating its return to the post office for readjustment. The elimination of loss through fire or theft, the reduction of handling costs both in the mailer's establishment and in the post office, and the expediting of outgoing mail are but a few of the advantages this system offers over the adhesive stamp method. The impressions are not cancelled.—Scientific American. CONFIRMATION SERVICES AT ST. PHILIP'S Palm Sunday services at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon were largely attended. At 7:30 a. m. was the blessing of the palms and the Holy Communion; at 11 o'clock the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to eight adults: Florence Irene Murray, Freeda Luella Robbins, Viva Amelia Phillips, Alice Pegg, Eunice Earl Smith, Kathryn Mabel Green, Edward Howard and Arthur A. Ware. At 5 o'clock, in the presence of a congregation that crowded the church, the Rt. Rev. Rev. Arthur L. Williams, Bishop of Nebraska, administered the Sacrament of Holy Confirmation to a class of nineteen, the largest class in the history of St. Philip's. Those confirmed were: Mrs. Lucile R. Adams, Lydia A. Davis, Edward J. Dunn, Mrs. Kathryn Mabel Green, Edward Howard, Mrs. Mary Howard, Roscoe C. Howard, Philip M. Howard, Augustus Hicks, Mrs. Rosalie B. La Cour, Philip Letcher, Florence Irene Murray, Wellington S. Martin, Mrs. Eva M. Pinkett, Mrs. Alice Pegg, Mrs. Viva A. Phillips, Freeda L. Robbins, Episcopal Church is striving to do to break down class distinctions and make mankind realize the brotherhood of the human race, then preached an eloquent and instructive sermon from the text: "Blessed are they that dwell in Thy House, they will be always praising Thee." The sermon was a learned exposition of the place that worship should occupy in every normal human life, and how there must be, or ought to be a dignified and impressive ritual to symbolize and express that worship. He said that the irreverent methods of Sundayism might set men to thinking, but it could do no constructive work in the souls of men; and that unless a man who had been set to thinking was gotten hold of by those who offered better things, the last state of that man was worse than the first. Both the Bishop's address and sermon made a profound impression on the large congregation present.

April 10th, at her home, 2244 Madison St., South Side. Mrs. Dudley has lived in Omaha about twenty-five years. She lived that Christlike life that won the love and esteem of all who knew her. She was an active member of the A. M. E. Church. She was president of the Stewardess Board; vice president of the Ladies' Aid. She was buried from that church Wednesday, April 12th at 3 o'clock. The beautiful and copious floral offerings could only express a small portion of our sympathies toward the bereaved family. She followed her husband by only five months and eleven days. She leaves three daughters and one son and one son-in-law, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. We can only say to these dear girls and this dear boy that their loss is Heaven's gain, and that mother has just fallen asleep and awaits your coming at Heaven's gate. The church will more than miss her. Easter service will be abserved at Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church. Program of the children at 3 p. m. and adults at 8 p. m. Special music by the choir. Mr. John House, living at 4735 So. 14th Street, was found dead in his bed Tuesday morning. Acute indigestion was said to be the cause. His body was shipped to Curryville, Mo., for burial.

The following was handed to us a few days ago by a prominent young business man. He had copied it, but could not recall the author: "Man comes into this world without his consent, and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings by the balance of the species. In his infancy, he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a fool; if he raises a family, he is a chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief and the law raises the devil with him; if he is a poor man, he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest, but considered smart; if he is in politics you can't place him, as he is an undesirable citizen; if he goes to church, he is a hypocrite; if he stays away from church, he is a sinner and damned; if he donates to foreign missions, he does it for show; if he doesn't, he is stingy and a tight wad. When he first comes into the world, everybody wants to kiss him; before he goes out they all want to kick him; if he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age, he is simply in the way and living to save funeral expenses. This life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same." Business Enterprises Conducted by Colored People-Help Them to Grow by Your Patronage.
