I We'll Put Him in hisC
REV. ALBERT 1
> ?# *? ? . ? t,*m /tat. AA A A . . A A.V>,A A
An expression like the one^Svhich
heads this article, ts never made by
first-handed people. Such an exprespeople.
grummond defines the pary
a^ite^as being a pauper J of* nature.
T^e parasite is a form of life which
will not take the trouble to find "Its
own food, buti borrows or steals from
the more industrious. The social par.
fistte is one among the most danger
ous persons in any group. He nevet'
produces anything. He is too nice
to work. His hands are st) important
_ that We can only touch those things
that others have pajdj. lUp^. price for.
He is always so .important thatj everybody
must regard it an honor to
work for him or to let. .him sponge
on them*" He staifnds' at the head of
.the heap where no work is in . sight.
He stands for the best there' is where
no work is demanded. I his fatterition
is direted to any honest tvork
to be gone,, he gets excited ai once
and then he complains that h<i has
been insulted. The social parasite is
never morally strong. He likes to
rough-shod it over weak women who
are unprotected. Oh, he can stand
*fbrth?before the public and fool the
crowd ^with the dope that:. "I'll dLe
for tffy{ women. No?man?breathes
_ the breath of . life who will - go f urther
in protecting my women than, I will
go." Any man who/dares insqlt one
of them I'll smash litis head artd eat
his socks for him.')! Z??
. As a rule this same scoundrel iifes
two or three children by one or Uycl
splendid young women r neither Jof
. , whdm are married. Wften he Tis "re"
minded of this fact, he falls back on
the fact that: *"I am a gentleman, I
dare you to touch my character and
I'll put you in the jug. How dare
you touch my character? I'll put
you in your class." Well, what class;
is he'ih? He * is in a,class in whigh
parasites live. He has never produced
anything. He ha* ,pnly hitched
? himself to-others who h3ve ' a little
something. And, tbpre as a parasitic
pauper, .he hurls his darts -of deceit"
and rascality at those wh0 are
vrtfFRing out their own salvation while
he sTumbers, pulTs and blows otf of
the'honest labors of others that cost
* him nothing. -Nice fellow he is, of
course.. . T * "i
tirr,e ago, I'ctime in Contact
with a man "and his wife who ran" a !
disorderly house and who illegally
sold whiskey. They rah the gamut
of fines aad other such things that follow
such a^life. After having hous-"
ed other jpen's wives and daughters
in their home for immoral purposes 1
for sometime, thej? banked quite a bit
of money After they had, saved up
some money off of the shame and disgrace
of others, they then decided to
move away f?>m-the-^haunts-of?vice
in which they had lived and robbed
others, and with their ill-gotten gain,
force those from whom they had taken
it to bow to them. Again and again
those wh0 had bought whiskey from
them, approached their home," only
to be repulsed aruT pushed aside. A
j gaui and again, the women who had
once met other men in their home,
visited them, only to-be slighted and
"pushed aside.- Then it, was that the
woman of the^hbuse said: "We'll put
them in the^ class if they bother'us."
Now, what class could they put them,
in ? Thev themselves were, panderers
to vice amd 'immorality. They
had'made their money that way. The
' taint pi lust and sin had placed their
stain^on every dollar they had made.
Now that tiiey had bled their victims
t0 deaths~<jthey exclaim": ')We'H put
them in tbeir class, if they bother
us." Such parasitic vultures as the
ones in question are to be found
in all of the walks of life among usJ
They always want- to pu?_ swmTone|
else in a cla^^J?i?rTHey are alwaysJ
careful t,o conceal the class to which
they belong. I have known these agents
of hell to go to a respectable
"V'Hi'W4". "miv.iv cue muiiitH" ?u tne
trying to raise some respect
Sv^Yni?wgjrls. Another man had sentj
.^0" ftllll hOW6r on an" errand of
death. She would k laugh anj chat
with the mother of those girls," all_j
the time trying to gpt in a word with
those girls alone; The unsuspecting
motffer would finally leave the reom,
" and just as "soon as her back was
turned, the following conversation
took place: "Say, a fine young man
wishes to speak to you at my house.
He is there pow. He is one of the
nicest men I know of. He is- a gentleman,
I wai^t you to meet hrm.
You need not say anything to your
mother about it. Just come on over
,>'** to my place and have a good time.!
So far as money is concerned, he has
that to burn." You know that I would
not take you into anything without
V- . taking eare of you. Will you tome?"
The little innocent thing., answered^
"Yes, I'll be there." She went once,
again and "again. Well, what result'

ed from her going? She is a ulldedged
street woman now anj her
mother's heart is brokefc. ? Well, what
is the dirty woman doing who betrayed
her? Oh! she is a lady nota. She
has a nice house. She has it comfortably
furnished. Her whole effort flow
is to keep her Tolfmer pals in vice in
their places, t She often exclaims: "If
they bother with mef I'll put them in
ifceir idass." "Thpy ought to know
.hat I have money. They have none
and they never will have liny." Well
how did she get her money? AnsVer:
Selling the virtue of otkwjr
foolish women and girls to the,"highest
bidder. A fine calling.' o/ course.
It is funny t0 see a big preacher tfy
to put a little preacher iri his class.
Well, after buying up a godless grafting
bunch, they land him ^t a metropolitan"
appointment. After he puts
on his spurs, he then begins to swell
with importance'. First, Re discovers
That no one caxrTMt:ihal~pu!pit but
himself. Whenever the little preacher
miunows come around, they are pushe?f
back. "Say, man^ Qo you not
know that you cannot fill this place?
You will have to step back. I am
sorry. Men of-your ability, have not
the stull that this d'6Wd W&ttlS. They
would chase me out of here if Iptrt
Noiv, whrntrjdid he get what he pfetcuds
to have from ? Where has he
been ? - -It?matters not where he has
been, there is one thing about it,
and that is, he is going to make a
tool of himself. His dose comes tn
him in this way. He is weighed in
the scales of manhood and-it is found
out that- he ' has none. His Intellectual
measure is taken, and it is found
out^that he is a fool. Now the same
crow(i that caused him to swell uf
vyith false pride now strip him of everything
and tell him to his face that
we do not want you. Well, he was
put into a class, into which class he
did not belong. Now circumstances
over which he can c have no- control
finds the elass for .him to which
he belongs. Now the little preachei
whom he scorned takes the place he
had. Yes, he comes to his senses but
it is too late. He was so anxious te
put the other fellow in his class thai
he has really put himself into the
class to which he belongs. This "pu
him into his class business" is px>'
| carried on by Christian peopled It-n
carried on by the biggest hypocrite:
(dn any community in which it- ?
fountk Whenever this bunch of hy!
pocrites fights their way to the heat
of any church, it is farewell Brothei
I Hun. The^jig is up"~at that plaqe
No sinners out of Christ need evjei
apply at that pluoe for any thihg nape
I aTficket to" hell. :
Commercialized _religion is firmlj
(established in ?U such Or
reaching many places these days, th<
first?thing one is told: "Well, if y01
want to do any good in this place yoi
will have to see Mr. Sfo and So. H<
is one of thQ biggest men we hav?
here. Unless! you can get his en
dorsement you can accomplish noth
ing in this plaice. 'Well, after a whih
one may decide to see the ''Big Stiff'
about whom so much is saidZ H(
looks you over and sizes you up. H<
parades hirpself before you so tha
you may see just how large he is
He then impresses you with Jhe influ
-imce- that he^has. Sayshe-?"Now
Brother, if you will follow me and d<
as I tell vou to ?lor vnii ran not fail
Success waits upon my word here
The best white folks listen 'to me
i ne "niggers" will do what I tell then
to do. You look -as you and I coult
pull together. You let "me manage^
business. You set still and let-every
thing stay just_as^-^Tave^it. If yoi
jlixM*** you will have nothing to fear
However, if you change things fron
-tW way "they srnnowrybu^arelTodmet
at this place. "Now the first thinj
you will find out is that the scoundre
in question has sought to buy up ev
ery commercial women id his group
The second thing you-will find ou1
is that he has placed human watch dot
on your Trail so~as to kee^ in toucl
with your movements. Now if yoi
happen to be that type of man wh<
thinks for himself, ypu will have th<
fight of your life at that place. Nov
the type of man in question has nevei
b^en converted.
Just as soon as the rascal in ques
tion gets angry with you the firs
thinghe bellows forth is: "Well, il
ne Dotners wim us and our plans
we'll put him in his class."
The hard worked teacher and thou
sands of other over-worked honesl
women of our group are often sorelj
tried by the "flappers" among us
Like Ah Sin, the Chinaman, fronr
ways that are vain and "tricks thai
are dark, they come forth all bedeck
ed up with finery yid costly fixture!
that are fit fQr a queen. They flauql
-these things in the face of other p6o
pie who itttFT?ave left a sense of de
. - - , JSf ? K
- THE PALMffl
j cency. They visit low (white men
I in their camps of lust and sin, and
ithen they run between twosins with
flobby and lustful Negro men, then
! they come'' forth with^ the goods on
| them, They come forth ' with the
, Boston -twiat or with the New -YorJt
swing. If oite did net know them, he
would be led- to believe that they
really representee sopiethingT'Uut "if
one will only low his or her ears to
tho criitinH unn will rtllo wi
I frain from some lqw white man or
! from some wobbly Negro: -^Say, she
I looks nice in th&se togs I gave.
! Look, how she swings. I paid $25.00
! for that outfit she has on. However,
I ought not -v$o tell you all of this
' about her, for she is IS nice woman.
Did you ever hear her pray ? Man
j she can put up some prayer. I must
1 be a "Big-Nigger""to be able to have
,|a friend JttfcCthat." Well, when you
I get a glimpse of his wife and children
j you will find that they are poorly
; clad. After a while she hears of what
is being said about her. Now she
bellows forth: "If I hear just another
word from those "jiggers," TIL put
them in their class, t
Well they know tlje class to which
erned. about the class to which they
