INTERESTED IN COLORED PRISONERS To Editor of The Monitor: I wonder if you would give space n your valuable paper to a little plea n behalf of Colored prisoners that are in our various prisons. I wonder bow many there are in this world that would only be too glad to do something for their neighbors if they only knew how and what? And I would like to tell them about a league that was formed to give cheer to pris oners that have no friend or relative to send them even a cheerful thought. It is called the O. E. Library League and the address is 1207 Q street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The price is 10 cents registration fee and 25 cents subscription fee to the official paper of the league, and they are calling for members to write to Colored prison ers, of whom they have a large list. I hope by this means to be able to bring a little cheer to a few more people on this earth, and so if you can see your way to print this I thank you a thousand times.
