Clifford Makes Her Bow as Songster. PURPOSE OF THE BROCHURE. Inspired by the Triumphs and Strug gles of Her People, the Well Known Educator, Lecturer and Clubwoman Tells of Their Aspirations In Race Rhymes. Washington.—No one can read "Race Rhymes.” a neatly got up and at tractive pamphlet of twenty-eight pages containing about sixteen poems, by Carrie W. Clifford, without coming to the conclusion that the colored wo man is taking up her part of the race’s struggle for fair play with as much enthusiasm and loyalty as could be expected from the women of any race engaged In a similar contest. From the first page to the last there is in this little booklet an underlying M Its. CAHKIK W. CLIFFORD. curt cut of race loyalty and tlev tlou. The standard set is very high and noble and inspiring. “To My Mother.** which is the dedi cation poem, gives a splendid idea of the high tone of the poems. The first verse rnns as follows: Mother, mother, how I loved thee' And I know thou lov'dst me well. But the gentle Saviour railed thee Home on high with saints to dwelt The real purpose of these poems is very clearly set forth by the author in her foreword. She says: In giving to the world this bro chure the author makes no claim t*» unusual poetic excellence or lierary brilliance. She is seeking to < ill at tention to a condition which he at least considers serious. Knowing that tliis may often be done more impres sively through rhyme than in ua ele gant prose dissertation, she has taken this method of accomplishing the end sought. Kstch poem has been called forth by some significant event or condition in the history of the Negro in America. The theme of the group here present ed- the uplift of humanity- is the loftiest that can animate the heart and pen of man: the treatment, she trusts, is not wholly unworthy. Re membering the good that has been ac complished by such familiar poems as "The Prisoner For Debt.** “The Song of the Shirt.” and similar ones, she sends these lines forth with the prayer that they may change some evil heart, rigfit some wrong and raise some arm strong to deliver. A perusal of the contents of the booklet hears witness to the fact that “each poem has been called forth by some significant event or condition in the history of the Negro in America.’* The titles of the poem are ‘‘America,’* • Reply to Thomas Dixon.” “Atlanta’s Shame.** “The Jimcrow Car.” “Shall We Fight the Jimcrow Car?” “To Paul Laurence Dunbar,” “Lines to Garrison.” “Foraker and the Twenty fifth.” “The Colored Graduate.” “Duty’s rail." “Marching to Conquest,” “My Baby.” “Character or Color- Which?” “Tin* Dreamer” and “We’ll Die For Liberty.’* “Race Rhymes” is characteristically a race book. Not only were the con tents written by a member of the race, hut the book was printed, bound and finished in a printing office owned by a colored man and operated by • .dored printers. The hook is attractive in ap pearance and will make a valuable ad dition to one’s library. Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, the author, is one of the lead ing clubwomen of this country.
