As to one's attitude upon :
question involving life, or death
there can be no middle ground
you are either for or~against
which shall it be? The H, A. A
?C. P. is calling-for funds
in thp Hpfpnso of Dr. Sweej: ei
al now ondrial for murder in Be
troit, Michij and other cases sooi
to~~come" up" "in " the " Suprenu
Court of the U. S. If you fee
that the effort is worth while anc
ought to succeed, express thai
feeling in some tangible form oi

you had any feeling in the mat
ter at all beyond what you saj
?aJnd that isn't sufficient. Tin
~~power of -any force is in proportion
to the directness of its application.
You may have lot*

^ What will you do, "blench from
the., helm when the wind blows
highest and prove your selves
unworthy of a race?" We think
not, but rather believe you will
prove that "violent, primitive
emotions so common to the race,
have hot wholly absorbed that
deeper, sterner faculty of reason
which, under God, shall lead
- vou to see th(j sword of Damojles
hangs over you and to read
vour future by the verdict in
this case."
If you believe with Henry C.
?Palterson that the "PoTehtiaTeqmditv

of race relation," or witli
| Dr. Raymond T,. Bye, that "Race
