For every nationality is discussing about our way.
If we don't think and figure we'll noon be enslaved.
Now it aint no use to try to deny your own race,

You are identified with the Negro race.
If some other nationality you should happen to meet,
It aim no use of acting a fool upon the street.
The thing for us to figure on is to try to live right,
Then you are in position to demand your equal rights.
When we say equal rights, that includes all men,
Ami not a special equal right, for the Negro in the pen.
Now the Negro must s*op imitating other races,
And demand their equal rights regardless of their faces.
This social equality we v. u 1 • ? .*t give a snap.

A Scotch minister who was In need
of funds thus conveyed his intentions
to his congregation: "Weel, friends,
the kirk is urgently in need of siller,
and as wo have failed to get money

The grievance of the freight-hand-

employed in place of white men be-
cause they will work for less money.
