LOOKING OVER AN OLD COPY OF "THE MISSION MONITOR” (Continued from Page One) per. Here are some of the shorter editorials from this issue of March 1900. What the Afro-American needs to do is to stop whining about lack of opportunity for advancement and make his own opportunity. The pack peddling Jew of today is the mer-: chant prince of the next generation. | The Italian street-vender of fruit to day is the wholesale dealer of a few years hence. The German hand-car- ; rying gallon-can milkman of this gen eration is the opulent dairyman of i the next. The same evolutionary1 process must be wrought by our own people. Get a push cart and peddle vegetables. Get a can and peddle milk. Take a basket on your arm and huckster eggs. Do something. Make a start. Save money. Live economically. Make your opportuni ty. For black or white “America is only another name for Opportunity." While the unfortunate unemployed and the professional tramp have sought our door in great numbers ] during our residence in this city, it j has been a source of much gratifica tion to us to notice that very few of this number were Negroes. Whatever may be true of other sections of the country the fact remains that in the north and west the Negro tramp is a rare specimen. When we reflect how generally ostracised he is in the labor field the fact that there are so few Negro tramps among the great army of unemployed is cause for rejoicing. Mr. Toombs’ (of Georgia) state ment that the “Episcopal Church has nothing to do with either politics or religion” needs some qualification before it will strictly apply to this locality. In the recent heated may oralty contest, while it is true, that the Church in her corporate capacity took no part in the campaign, which she would have had no right to do, yet the fact remains that both can didates—the much cartooned and heavily cannonaded but successful re publican nominee and the “silk hosed”—to quote the only awful charge made against him—and can nonized but unsuccessful democratic nominee—are attached through fam ily ties to the Episcopal Church and both hold pews in the same parish church, All Saints’. Among Afro Americans the majority of those who are most prominent and influential, as well as the most independent in their way of thinking in politics are connected with St. Philip’s either di rectly as communicants, or indirect ly through their families. This may account for the charge that we have no “religion.” But as we have cer tainly begun to have something to do with politics, we hope that “religion” will come in time. Through the courtesy and kind ness of Mr. G. VV. Loomis of the Bur lington road, we are able to send to his home in Boulder, Colo., a poor, sick ex-soldier of the famous Twenty fifth Infantry. This young man had returned from Manilla, with his health impaired, and had gone south with the hope of regaining his health. Apparently on the borderland of the other world he reached Omaha, pen niless, on his way to his mother in Colorado. As usual in such cases, he was directed to us, and we are grate- J ful that through the kindness of the above named official we were able to send him on his homeward way re joicing. How do you like them? Taking it all in all we believe you have rather enjoyed looking over our shoulder as we have turned the pages, yellowed by age, of our little parish publication of March 1900. Mrs. Fannie Washington left Fri day for Oakland, Cal., to make it her future home. The Eureka Art class will meet with Mrs. Arthur Flanagan, 2817 Binney street. The N. A. A. C. P. will hold its regular monthly meeting Sunday at 4 p. m., at Bethel A. M. E. church on Franklin street. FORMER PASTOR OF PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH BURIED The funeral of the Rev. J. J.
