“What Fools These Mortals Be.”
FOB THE COURIER.
Did you ever notice how the' The working man who thinks
working man, the mechanio, tKe’l that it makes auy difference to
laborer, the farmer will kiok and hint and hie kind who is elected
snort at the idea of a negre bold- president hue not cut his eye teeth
ing an office, and office that he! yet.
(the working man) can never j T , ie mec l,anic or laborer who
hope to hold? Why does he ob- thmka jt u worao for , gentleman
of color” to wait on ffhite people
ject to the negro displacing some
wealthy man or some politician?
If it is right for a negro to dis
place a mechanic, a laborer nr any
other white working man by what
rule of ethics does he figure it out
that it is not right for the negro
to hold an office?
iu ins office than it is fora “coon
to take his place iu aud about the
residences of white “folks” is oue
of those fellows who is trying to
fool themselves.

Suy: what is the use of talking
about “clean” elections and then
Say Mr. Working Man don t f or the candidates to ap-
you know that as a rule the mau! proach youaud aak yott t0Bupp0rt
you want to see get the office iu
place of the negro would give the
negro the preference if you aud
the uegro should apply to him for
a “job,” provided he could Bave a
few d:mes by so doing?
If you muBt howl, and fear yon
will burst if you don’t, why don’t
you howl for yourself?
Perhaps you consider that the
office honors the man, raises him
above the common herd instead
of the man honoring the office?
Perhaps you think that because
you use your hands (hands trained
and skilled by years of patient
toil) that you are not as good as
the man who uses his brain less
than yuu do and his hands ajaroe-
ly at ail.
Perhaps you have imbibed the
fool" idea thut mechanical work
is not • brain work” and not
worth more that the hire of
mnle.
The mail who “fools” a fool is
the greater fool of the two, but
the man who fools himself is a
gold medal fool.
Another Little Boy,
them before you decide who to
vote for, dt. n’t you thiuk that the
voter who is “clean” politically
knows who to vote for and will do
it without persuasion?
The man who goes to the polls
and votes for a candidate simply
because he is his friend or because
he owes him a debt of gratitude or
because he has been coaxed into
doiug so is not as good a patriot
as Benedict Arnold was.
If all the antedeluvian laws of
the country are to remain on our
statute books why are they not
euforced with equity aud justice
or are they only intended for the
goverment of the unfortunate?
How many good brothers and

body else.
The man who, on Sunday take
a front pew in the church and
tries to look good, and goes out
Monday to cheat, deceive, and
rob his fellow-man, will meet his
just reward later—and deserves it.
The young man or woman, who
spend their precious moments in
thinking and planning ouly of
how to ornament the body, in
stead of improving the mind or
conscience, are making a mistake
for which they can never atone.
Friend, stop and shake hands
with your neighbor and ask after
his health. It takes only a min
ute and both you and he will feel
better from it all day. Try it.
Young woman. Do you ever
thiuk of how little yon are doing
to help your old mother, or father
bear their burdens? If uot begin
now. Some day, they will be
called away and theu your eon-
•oience will lash you, aud remorse
I will crush you for your past nog-
i loot.
1 Father. You have a son, a
i bright innocent boy now. You
neglect his moral training. You
! are too buay to attend to this.
Some day you will have his sins
aud short comings tearing at your
heartstrings. Your neglect will
be his down-fall.
1 Friends. Be diligent, honest,
oonrapeout. Tell no lies. Speak
no evil. Help the needy who are
worthy. Encourage those who
falter. Smile sweetly upon those
who look sad aud dowu-oast. A
gentle word fitly spoken may
change for the better a life’e ca
reer. ’
