BITT MAN, MAKES WELCOME ADDRESS—A PROGRAM EXTRAORDINARY RENDERED—DR. S. H. THOMPSON OF K. C., K. RE-ELECTED—INDEPENDENCE ROYALLY ENTER- The Twenty-third Annual session of Sunflower Grand Lodge and Grand Court met with a public informal opening in Moose hall, corner of Eighth and Main streets, at 10 a.m. with Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor, in the chair, at which time the Hon. R. R. Bittman, mayor, made his welcome address, which in the opinion of those present was one of the best heard by any in the history of Sunflower Grand Lodge. Rev. J. R. Ransom, Grand Prelate, responded in a masterly address to Mayor Bittman's scholarly bit of oratory. The other numbers on the program were of a high character and some of those deserve special mention and among them we speak of the solos by Miss Blanche White of Independence, and Mrs. Norene Davis of Kansas City, Kansas, and papers by Miss Laura Tindell of Croweberg and Miss Daisy Peak of Paola. Mrs. Virginia Montgomery made the welcome address in behalf of Syracuse Court No. 17 of Independence. Mr. H. I. Monroe, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of Topeka, made the welcome address in response to a striking and interesting welcome address in behalf of the home lodge by Col. J. A. Markham. The convention re-convened in Moose hall at 2 p. m. at which time it opened officially the twenty-third session, and at the same hour Sunflower Grand Court opened its session in Odd Fellows' hall across the street. The afternoon session was principally given over to the G. P. work. Wednesday, July 26 the morning session opened at 9 a. m. with Grand Chancellor Thompson in the chair, after the adoption of the previous days' proceedings the ordinary committees were appointed and the regular routine of business was carried out with unison of purpose. Thursday morning at 9 a. m. business started off in earnest with reports from all of the departments. At 1 p. m. the grand street parade under command of Colonels Edwards and Brown with a number of companies led by the Coffeyville band, followed by the Grand Officers of the two Grand bodies in automobiles and pedestrians marched over the principal thoroughfares, after which they with thousands of friends and visitors went to the City Park and greatly enjoyed the afternoon. Camp R. R. Jackson under the command of General F. O. Miller with several companies of the state went into camp at the City Park Monday which drew great crowds each evening at 5:30 to witness the dress parade, this being the first encampment in the history of the uniform department. The uniform companies were given over Wednesday night for their military ball which was attended by hundreds of the elite. The court held a very fine session with Mrs. Mollie Cox of Wichita at its head as Worthy Grand Councillor. This auxiliary showed to be in fair condition. The twenty-third annual session closed Thursday evening with a public installation. The citizens of Independence were highly praised for the manner in which they entertained their guests. The mayor and his co-workers, the business men, used every effort to make things pleasant for the first Grand Convention of color ever convened in the city. The streets were strung with thousands of feet of pennants of the orders' colors, which was greatly appreciated. The local general committee with Dr. D. H. Davis, its chairman, outdone themselves in arrangements. Nothing was too good or burdensome for any member. It was the banner session and the reports showed the order in the state of Kangas to be in an excellent condition and in a prosperous state of affairs. VOL.2. Camp Jackson. YOUNG PEOPLES' CONGRESS.

It is conceded by the rank and file of the leading Republicans out through the Second Congressional district, irregardless of friendship that Colonel Little must be the man nominated in order to win over the Democratic candidate, Mr. Taggart, next November, and send a Republican Congressman from this district to Washington. The people and country well know how a president's hands would be tied without a Congress of his own party. Mr. Little will greatly strengthen the ticket this fall and many a Republican candidate throughout Wyandotte county and the district will be snatched from the fire of defeat to victory on account of the large vote he will receive November 7. The colored voters should use their very best judgment in this one particular office as it means much to us, and we have no man anywhere who is better able to defend and protect our interests than Col. Little. We have no man, the race could trust farther or take into their confidence than this man. He is a man you can reach without using a step-ladder. His ability as a lawyer, orator and statesman is world-wide known, and when he gets into Congress he will be heard of in the first session. So for the sake of the race and the good of our country let us defeat the Democratic nominee by nominating Col E.C. Little next Tuesday at the primary. Now, let the colored voter have it said, he was a big factor in his election. AN ABRAHAM LINCOLN REPUBLI CAN. White Republicans sometimes disagree to some extent on economic questions. What we want is Abraham Lincoln Republicans. What we need is men of the old original stock who believe in equal rights to all men as did Lincoln and Seward and Chase and Sumner and Wade and Usher. Those men have passed away but some of those are still with us who knew them and drew inspiration from them. Col. Edward C. Little is this kind of an old fashioned Republican. During the long war Hon. John P. Usher, a great lawyer from Indiana, was Secretary of the Inter- [Pictured] The Republican candidate for Congress who will beat Mr. Taggart, the Democratic candidate for that office.

After the war he located and became a lawyer at Lawrence, Kansas. The first Kansas University Law student admitted to his office was Edward C. Little who read law with him for a year and learned from his lips the record of Abraham Lincoln, and has always been a friend of mankind.

"Bob" Maher is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Maher, and has been a resident of Kansas City, Kansas, for the past 35 years. He is 36 years of age and a fine specimen of physical manhood, standing 6 feet in height and weighing 250 pounds. He certainly looks the part of the ideal sheriff. He has been a member of the fire department for 23 years, and has been a captain for the past 12 years—at No. 2 Station for 7 years and at No. 4 Station for 5 years. Mr. Maher is a young man whose character is above reproach and whose fitness and qualifications for the office to which he aspires cannot be questioned. He is a good mixer and is making scores of new friends every day. "Bob" has lots of friends among all classes and since his campaign started many others have found their way into his friendship. He is well liked by a host of people and his campaign has been an earnest and honest one. And it is said the candidate that beats him will be the next sheriff. COL. E. C. LITTLE [Image of a man in a suit and bow tie]. ADVOCATE ever went to war with black officers was sent out by Governor John W. Leedy of Kansas, as great a friend as the black race has had since the Civil war, largely at the instigation of Col-Ed. C. Little, Secretary to the Governor at that time. He appointed Negro officers of the Twenty-third Kansas regiment, and Col. Little showed himself an Abraham Lincoln Republican then when he stood for equal rights to all. No man in Kansas has ever done more, probably no man in Kansas has ever done as much as this one thing for the black man. Nearly thirty Negro officers held their places for nearly a year. Their salaries averaged about $2,000 each and they drew from the Republic nearly $50,600, on equal rank with the most successful white officers. Tbis was the highest recognition that has been accorded the Negro race. As a general rule they want us to take the day labor jobs. Governor Leedy and Col-Little gave us something better and something that meant equal rights to all. We have never had as many good officers as that in Kansas City since the town was founded. If Col-Little were in Congress he would be for equal rights for all men and every man who wants to encourage the friends of our race should go to the polls for him primary day. K. P'S TRAVEL IN SPECIAL CAR. About 40 K. P.s returned this morning from Independence, Kas., where they attended the Grand Lodge this week. They traveled to and from Independence in a special coach over the Santa Fe. A very pleasant trip was reported from all those who went The funeral services of the late Mr. John Lange were held at the Second Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday, July 25, at 2 p. m. Rev. Bacote officiated. The Shriners gave their midnight service and in the day the other lodge gave their's. All was very impressive. The church was packed with friends and an automobile of beautiful floral designs were given. Deceased leaves a widow and other relatives and many friends, who regret the decease of so great a man. We sympathize with the family. —for— SHERIFF. OUR PEOPLE SHOULD SUPPORT MISS WOOSTER. The Hon. E. P. McCabe, the only colored man ever elected to state office in Kansas, is coming all the way from Chicago to urge our voters to support Miss Lizzie E. Wooster for State Superintendent of Public Instruction at the primaries August 1st. Miss Wooster is deserving of the vote of every colored man and woman in Kansas. Former State Auditor McCabe says: Chicago, Ill., July 13th, 1916. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Miss Wooster for a number of years. She is now a candidate for State Superintendent of Schools. She will bring to the office all that it requires, to wit: a knowledge of schools and school conduct. I shall be in Kansas and will take the stump for her as soon as I can make it convenient to leave Chicago. Miss Wooster's father aided me when I became Auditor of the State of Kansas, and it is nothing more than right that I should assist her, his child, in this particular, who aspires to a State Office akin to the one held by me. Yours truly. PROFESSOR PAYNE, CANDIDATE FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT Prof. E. L. Payne who announces his candidacy to the Republican electors of Kansas for the office of state superintendent of schools, is an educator of wide experience. His record as an educator and progressiveness along educational lines are of the highest standard. RECORD 1. For 12 years head of the department of mathematics in the Kansas State Normal college. 2. Has three degrees from three colleges and has taken advanced work in two more of our best universities. 3. Has taught in Chicago and in Miami University. 4. For four years county superintendent of Reno county schools during which time he initiated what is now the state system of gradation and graduation of rural schools. 5. For 5 years superintendent of city schools. AN EX-STATE COLORED AUDITOR HERE. The Hon. E. R. McCabe now of Chicago, an ex-state auditor of Kansas and the only colored man that ever was elected to a state office in Kansas, has been in the state for some two weeks in the interest of Miss Lizzie Wooster's candidacy for state superintendent of schools. Mr. McCabe says he is doing this to show his gratitude for the great good Miss Wooster's father did for him in his campaign which had much to do with his victories as auditor of the state. Mr. McCabe has a personal letter in this paper appealing to the colored electors in behalf of Miss Wooster. The Neighborhood Bible class met with Mrs. Merritt on North Eighth street at its last meeting. It had a large attendance and two acknowledged Christ. Mrs. C. Evans presided at the piano. She is one of our best soloists and the song-service of the meeting was very impressive. Among the new members were: Mesdames Dorsey Green, Brady, Silvers, and Tucker; also Mr. Simpson. The next meeting is at Mrs. Thos. Booker's, 725 Everett avenue. Lesson, Acts, 3rd chapter. All are Invited. CORRECTION. The marriage ceremony of Mr. Charles Slaughter and Miss Cordelia Butler took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dyson, 840 Washington boulevard, instead of at the parsonage of Dr. D. B. Jackson as was announced in last week's issue. The laboring man's friend for State Auditor, is Dan Dyer. Look for his name on August 1st. Rev. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters' college and brother of Prof. G. A. Gregg, is on a lecture trip through the West. He will be in Kansas City August 7 to 9 and Topeka, St. Joseph, Denver, Pueblo, Des Moines, Chicago and places adjacent to these. His many friends will be glad to see him. NO.49 DED CATION OF METROPOLITAN BAPTIST TEMPLE The opening of the new Metropolitan Baptist Temple began Sunday, July 23rd. This beautiful large structure with a capacity of near 1600 was practically filled at 11 a. m., 3 p. m., etc. At the morning service. Rev. D. A. Holmes, the pastor preached a powerful sermon and Messrs. J. T. Roberts, T. H. Cooper and two ladies were baptized in the beautiful glass baptistry. Mrs. Lester sang sweetly, "The Lord Is My Light," and the church choir sang. At 2 p. m. Mrs. S. Mammett, of K. C., Mo., sang "My King," which was applauded in a reverent way and Dr. J. T. Caston of St. Louis preached a fine sermon on "God's Special Love for His Church." The First Baptist church choir sang lovely and Rev. McNeal, Rev. T. E. McMorris and Dr. Eryle president of the white Baptist Mission Board, praised the beauty of the church and gave encouragement. Other pastors present were: Revs. Clay M. Williams, J. M. Booker and others. Rev. J. R. Richardson delivered the invocation and Prof. F. J. Work sang a tenor solo. At 8 p. m. the church choir sang and Mrs. E. Stovall and Mr. C. White sang a duet. Rev. J. T. Caston delivered another beautiful sermon. The services are to continue all the week and the pastor will have the history delivered later or printed. Although it was not a rally about $500 was received as a collection. Some of the largest amounts given by individuals and not solicited were: Mr. S. H. Randolph $25, Mrs. Ida Wood $10, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews $10.25. She also is the only individual who gave a double plate glass door which cost over $30. The S. S. gave $25, many of the men gave $10 and many of the women $5. Next Sunday the names of all donors will be given and a description of this, the finest church in the two Kansas Citys will be given later. Rev. Holmes and his loyal members and friends are praised by all Christians. A MAN WHO STANDS BY THE BREAD-WINNER—BELIEVES IN GIVING EVERYBODY AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY—DAN B. DYER FOR STATE AUDITOR. The Republicans of Smith county present to their fellow Republican voters of Kansas, Dan B. Dyer, for the office of State auditor, and ask their support for this competent, qualified and worthy citizen. Smith county people, without regard to party will bear testimony of his high character. Here where he has been known from boyhood, Mr. Dyer, if nominated by the Republicans, will receive hundreds of votes from men and women of other political faiths at the November election. This is because he has always stood four-square in politics and public and private affairs. The above from the Smith County Pioneer, Mr. Dyer's home, is high tribute. Dan Dyer will make a faithful and efficient State Auditor. Here in Kansas City, and elsewhere over the state, the colored voters are lining up for this worthy man. The Advocate bespeaks for Mr. Dyer the support at the primary of every Republican man and woman who wishes to see in the Auditor's office an official who is in every way qualified and competent. A man who has always stood by the laboring man. A man whose life has been of that kind when his name is called, speak well of him. A safe thing to do is to vote for Dan Dyer. A. A. GRAHAM, ATTORNEY AT LAW CONDIDATE FOR JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT. The Hon. A. A. Graham, the Republican candidate for Justice of the Supreme court is one of Kansas's best read lawyers and if elected to this office would lend dignity and honor to the bench. Lawyer Graham lives in Topeka and has been practicing his profession in all courts for 26 years in the state. He has the ability and if elected would make an ideal judge and lend dignity to the bar. A vote for Col. Little at the Primary means defeat in November of a Democratic Congressman. It is conceded by twenty-five Republican newspapers in the Second district that Col. Little is the only man that can beat the Democratic Congressman. --- ADVERTISING RATES. Made on Application. BELL PHONE WEST 455W. Don't forget The Advocate collectors when they call.

D WILLIAMS OUR FRIEND. AN APPRECIATION Ten consecutive years of gratuitous public service seems a long time. The question is often raised as to whether or not a man is genuinely appreciated who gives so bountifully of himself for others; who absents himself so frequently from his own fireside, denying himself these simple, but real, comforts obtained only in the home; who forsakes his business or profession when it needs him most; who encourages the wrinkles of time to introduce themselves before their natural season; who oftimes plays with undue exposure in wintry weather; who risks his life, knowing that there is no other compensation than that of feeling that he has discharged his whole duty toward his fellow man. Yet there are men who are doing these things daily the world over, and in our own community we have such magnificent characters, the chief among these is Dr. E. D. Williams, who for a whole decade has been spending himself freely for all of the boys and girls of our own municipality. Quiet, unassuming, not given v. advertisement, but a man whose heart beats for all of the people—to whom the interests of the little black boy is as dear as those of any other being. As a member of the board of education he has been faithful, and the thorough technical training he received prior to his taking up the practice of medicine has proven a splendid asset in his present capacity as chairman of the committee on buildings and grounds. He is ever on the job and has been found on the right side whenever any proposition came up for additional improvements, equipment, added teachers, or increased building capacity for our Negro schools. That he has been diligent and sincere in his attitude toward all of the schools is indeed highly commendable. That he has looked after the welfare of the Negro boy and of the Negro girl is to us, God-like, and pitiable is he who does not go to the polls and cast his vote for DR. E. D. WILLIAMS for coroner of Wyandotte county. FO.TAL C.E.KS TO BE NATIONAL ALLIANCE POSTAL EM PLOYEES THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION. Kansas City, Kansas, will be honored next month with the first national convention in its history of colored men. This proud distinction will be the Third Annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal employees which will convene in our city August 16, 17, 18, and 19. Kansas City, Kansas, is second in number of Railway Mail Clerks having fifty. New Orleans is first. This organization was organized in 1912 and held its first convention in 1913 at Chatanooga, Tenn, 1914 in St. Louis and last year in Houston, Texas. At this time there are upwards of 2,000 members and the number is increasing rapidly each year. The purpose of forming themselves into an organization was principally to unionize themselves for protection and greater efficiency for Uncle Sam's work and in the three short years of its existence it has done much for both. This city and especially its colored citizens should feel proud and highly honored in having as our guests such charac ters and representative men of the race. This convention will be represented as far south as Jacksonville, east to Washington, west to Seattle and to the lakes on the north. The local branch of which Mr. F. L. Gayden is its popular president, is making elaborate preparations to entertain their brothers and friends while here. The wives of many of them will be present, as an auxiliary is to be completed at this meeting. The sessions will be held in the Auditorium of Sumner High school. A fine printed program will be arranged for each day and evening and when they get through entertaining the public it will simply be manners. Mr. J. C. Branch is district president and will be one of the three who will represent the local branch, the other two are: President, Gayden and the Hon. C. H. M. Collins.

(On account of a great mass of other matter, the Editor did not have space for the Appeal last week.) We have charged that within our ranks, there are many who are weak and false to principle, and pernicious in practice—and who are unworthy to wear a Black skin. We have asked and challenged all who think we are wrong, and that there is nothing in our Appeal—to "Speak right out in the Meetin'" and prove that They are Right. For it is beyond question—that if we are Wrong—then it is Right for you to do the acts and things you take pleasure in performing, and of which we complain. If we are wrong—then it is right for you to appreciate, support, and build up in every way you can, with your Trade and Professional business—those who do what they can, in every way possible—to Degrade, Weaken, and to render you ineffective as a Civic and political factor in the community. If we are Wrong—then it is Right for you to do all you can, as you now do—to depreciate and discourage, to weaken and render your Negro Fellow-man; helpless and ineffective, as a civic and political factor in the community. Now then, if you my friend; would be right in these positions, then it most assuredly is expedient, that you be defended in so taking and holding them. Now then, if you, my friend, would be right in these positions, then it most assuredly is expedient, that you be defended in so taking and holding them. The world should know why you do such, and those who do know your way to be the right one, should be informed of the error of their way. It is therefore clear, that you should "Speak out in the Meetin'" and show wherein I am wrong. And that is why, I insist that all who feel and act contrary to what I have said in these articles, should be frank enough to give a reason for their conduct. And if they cannot bring themselves to an open defense of their action—then in the name of all Fairness, they should cease to so act. Then speak out—or speak out in defense of what I say, and then join in and let's go along together to a better and brighter day. (Watch Next Week.) AND THE CRY IS STILL FOR MEN. In last week's issue, we called upon Preacher, Deacon and Layman, and upon Teacher and Parent; as well as upon each, every, and All Negroes, to join in the noble work of uniting our forces Economically, for our mutual profit and well-being. That is as plain as it can be made—it is virtually a Distress call—it is a call for Recruits, for men and women, to enlist for their and their fellows' improvement. May we hope that such will be done? And if such is not done—What may we Expect? One thing is certain—and it is equally unsightly and shameful as it is certain. 'Tis this—we now have a race that is Religiously and Socially closely bound together; but which is Economically torn asunder. That is to say, we have plenty of Religion, and have it together, and with and toward each other—we also have Sociability in plenty, and have that, to and with each other. But when it comes to the economics of life—those rules, practices and reasons—those simple everyday acts and deeds, that include our Welfare—the means by which we live—and help others to live—we are absolutely Down and Out. We are short on this main and Vital quality. We just simply have not the elements of self-maintenance. And do not cultivate the quantities of ultimate and lasting success. And the question that comes home to us with force is this: Shall we continue through the channels of business, and the process of the courts to turn into the hands on our "Other Friends" the Fruits of our Industrial energy and efforts—and thus strengthen them against us, while on evenings and Sunday—we solace ourselves and our colored associates (including Nigger Lawyers, Doctors and Druggists, etc., etc.) with religious meetings and social gatherings? If such a course is persistently followed, we will reach the point where there is but one word to be found and we will not be able to get over, around or under it—it will be Fail—Failure or Failed. (Do I mistake?) I am willing to stand corrected. I. F. BRADLEY. Mrs. America Brown is convalescing. RUSSIANS IN NEW DRIVE. They Are Now Within Five Miles of Lemburg. Petrograd, July 28.—Russian troops are within five miles of Brody, the gateway to Lemberg, and are pressing home strong blows against the German and Austro-Hungarian forces defending the city. Brody and its outlying defenses are under fire of the Russian guns and its capture is believed to be imminent. There is a vicious fighting north, east and south of Brody, particularly in the region south of Lenzlow and around Radzikilow. Brody is about two and one-half miles inside the Galician line and is a little more than 50 miles northeast of Lemberg, the Galician capital. It is 10 miles south of the Styr river. The strategic value of Brody lies in the fact that it commands the Lemberg-Rovno railway. Dispatches from the front report a continuation of the heavy fighting south of Maranovitch, especially on the Schitschara river where the German army of Prince Leopold of Bavaria is making a stubborn effort to prevent the Russians from getting possession of important railway lines. Grand Duke Nicholas' Russian army of invasion in Turkey continues its onward drive and it is rapidly opening up the way into the very heart of Asia Minor. The flower of the Turkish army has been put to flight by the Russians and the Turks are falling back in demoralized retreat on Divrik and Karahissar. MANHATTAN, KANSAS. Mr. W. A.

IN 1892 Edward C. Little presided over the Republican State Convention. At that time he introduced J. K. Cubbison to the first State Republican Convention he ever addressed and he introduced John J. Ingalls to the last Republican Convention he ever addressed. In 1892 U. S. Guyer opposed the election of President Benjamin Harrison, the Republican nominee for President, and fought the whole Republican ticket. In 1912 Guyer bolted both the Republican and Progressive parties. In 1910 Colonel Little presided at the big Republican rally in Kansas City, Kansas, and introduced Governor Stubbs, the Republican nominee for governor and Hon. Alexander Mitchell the Republican nominee for Congress. That's the last year the Republicans achieved success in Wyandotte county in the way of a substantial victory. Mr. U. S. Guyer says he bolted the Republican party in 1892 and 1893 and that he did right to do so and would do it again. He claims there was some Iowa statute that didn't suit him. He doesn't say why he opposed President Harrison because of some Iowa statute. President Harrison had nothing to do with the Iowa statute. Guyer's explanation doesn't explain. The fact is he was simply a Third party man and opposed Republicanism for a number of years. The Advocate Goes in More Colored Homes in Wyandotte Than All Others Combined, Published in it.

PARKER A GREAT MEETING—THE NATION AL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE TO NEED AN OVERNIGHT The Negro Business League is sparing no pains to make the National Business League's convention the biggest event in the history of the city. The local committees are working day and night making arrangements to entertain this grand body of colored business men. All the colored business places have been cleaning, painting and buying new furniture and are trying their best to have everything in first class condition. At this rate it looks as if this will be one of the most inspiring meetings ever witnessed. A large number of prominent colored business men from every state in the Union will be here in August and from present indications it appears that this will be the most notable demonstration the National Negro Business League ever witnessed. The parade committee headed by Q. J. Gilmore chairman; J. L. Crisp, secretary, Sir W. G. Mosley, Col. L. A. Knox, Col. Daniel Moore, P. C. James, Major N. Clark Smith, Col. Neal Range Jr., and W. H. Hubbell are full of ambition and that is what it takes to make the parade a success. We will see one of the grandest parades in the history of this city. The committee has asked that every military organization, women's clubs and every business enterprise in the two Kansas Citys to participate and also set forth every effort forward to make this parade Thursday, August 17th, an extraordinary day. They expect at least fifteen hundred or more men and women in this big parade and in order to accommodate this situation the League will notify all its members and will request every colored place to declare parade day a full holiday. It is expected that more than 5,000 out of town people will arrive from nearby towns to view this wonderful parade. The parade will be headed by Q. J. Gilmore and staff followed by the following military departments of different organizations: The Knights Templars, Patriarchie of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Friendship, Knight of Tabor, Knights of Pythias, Uniform Ranks of the B. L. I. P. U. of A, the Boy Scouts and a number of out of town Uniform Ranks; two out of town bands whose names we failed to receive but will mention later together with the route of this wonderful parade. Mrs. Clarence Maxwell of Pittsburg, Kas., is visiting relatives here.

C., K. NG—'That's Right' Always—The Best 5th and Oakland Ave AND STILL WE APPEAL. We have charged that within our ranks there are many who are weak and false to principle and in practice and who are unworthy to wear a black skin. We have asked and challenged all who think we are wrong; and that there is nothing in our appeal—to speak out "in the meetin'" and prove that they are Right. For it is beyond question—that if we are wrong, then it is right to do the things and acts which you find pleasure in performing. If we are wrong in our appeal, then it is right for you to Appreciate and to support and build up in every way you can, with your Trade and your Professional business—those who do what they can in every way possible to degrade, weaken and to render you ineffective as a civic and political factor in the community. If we are wrong in our appeal, then it is right for you to do all you can—as you now do—to depreciate and discourage, to weaken and to render your Negro fellow-men, helpless and ineffective as civic and political factors in the community. And if it is right to take such positions, the such positions should be supported and defended. And all such persons should explain to the public, the righteousness of their conduct—so that we might profit by it, and correct the error of our way. One should not be selfish with their good conduct and example. The world craves to learn from you, if you are right, and would be "Delighted" to hear you explain the Righteousness of your conduct. We therefore expect to hear from you extolling your conduct, or see four confession of your Wrong—in your ceasing to practice those acts and deeds, which you refuse, or are ashamed to speak out and defend. "By your works shall ye be known"—is scripture, and of course, is true. And we would much rather see you take the latter course—than to hear you attempt to defend your conduct for the reason that it would be such a large task. The eye of the world is upon you, and we hope the season of Common Sense and Reason, together with that of Self-Respect, is at hand. And that healthy changes in the course of conduct will take place.
