The prophets have since learned that they were mistaken, for the business has grown to such an extent that it taxes Mr. Fossett to the fullest extent to supply his customers who are among the leading people and clubs in the city, which plainly shows when one has something to offer of superior quality and at the same time understand thoroughly the business in which he is engaged there is no such thing as fail. We congratulate Fossett and only wish that others would go and do likewise. TROTTER SPEAKS FOR RACE RIGHTS MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION National Equal Rights League Representative Delivers Able Series of Lectures In Many Cities Against Injustice of Race Segregation—Organization Meets Public, Favor. The recent visit of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, to many of the large cities of the west resulted in arousing our people in the interest of their problems and plans for better conditions to a greater extent than any one item of constructive effort has for some time. Before responding to the many invitations from various sections of the west Mr. Trotter delivered a series of addresses in Boston, Providence and other New England cities. Coupled with his story of the now famous Wilson-Trotter White House incident, the burden of his addresses and lectures was equal justice and industrial opportunity for the race, with no segregation. The first series of great meetings on Mr. Trotter's western tour was held in Chicago. Eight meetings were held, at which men and women representing the highest achievement in business, religion, education and professional life lived with one another in making the visitor feel that he was truly in the house of his friends. A Chicago branch of the National Equal Rights league was formed, with the Hon. George W. Ellis as presdent. Editor Trotter's visit to Springfield, IL, met with a spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm from many sources upon the shortest notice. This meet- WILLIAM MONBOE TROTTER. ing was unusual and showed the real interest of our people against race segregation. The meeting in St. Louis was held at the Central Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. George E. Stevens is pastor, and was attended by 1,800 people. This meeting was held under the auspices of the St. Louis branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People at the suggestion of Editor J. E. Mitchell of the St. Louis Argus, which said in a report of the meeting that William Monroe Trotter has seen St. Louis and the colored people of St. Louis have seen Editor Trotter, and satisfaction seems to be mutual. In reporting the Trotter meeting held at Wichita, Kan., where a branch of the National Equal Rights league was organized, one paper said: "Editor W. M. Trotter of Boston crossed deep into Kansas soil and was greeted by a packed in audience in the auditorium of the L'Overture school. The school segregation forced upon the colored people on the soil made sacred by the fight and sacrifice of John Brown stirred the anti-segregationist's fighting spirit, and with emphasis he narrated the White House protest and denounced the south, which had pushed its colorophilia so far north. He urged the colored people only to tolerate and never indorse segregation and everywhere to fight it with brains and money as the people of Kansas had fought it in the courts and pointed out how it spread from the south. He delighted the audience with his report of the White House interview and was applauded to the echo. A banquet in Mr. Trotter's honor was held at the Y. M. C. A. over which Dr. L. G. Brown presided. At Topeka, Kan., in the second Baptist church, of which the Rev. G. W. Henry is the minister, an audience of 1,400 people greeted and applauded the manly and fearless William Monroe Trotter, Editor Nick Chiles of the Topeka Plainlander presided. There was no mining of words in the introductory address of the chairman. Like Mr. Trotter, Nick Chiles is outspoken and never takes a backward step on any matter for the good of the race. The audience registered its approval of the purposes and plans of the National Equal Rights league. After responding to invitations from other cities in the west and southwest Mr. Trotter accepted the invitation of the Citizens' club of Brooklyn, where a banquet was held in his honor and a big mass meeting in the Bridge Street A M.

COLOR PREJUDICE A MENAGE In Presenting the Spingarn Medal to Dr. Ernest E. Just State's Chief Executive Says the Award is Given in the Spirit of Fellowship, Brotherhood and of Americanism. New York.-The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People added another victory to its many brilliant efforts in behalf of the colored race in this country at its annual meeting held in Ethical Culture Hall, in this city, on the evening of Feb. 12 when Governor Charles S. Whitman delivered an able address and presented the Spingarn medal to Dr. Ernest Everett Just of Howard university. "I know you will pardon-perhaps you will appreciate-a very short speech from me tonight, and I know that you will understand my leaving, although I should be very glad to remain and enjoy the speeches which are to follow, and I am sincerely sorry that I am unable to. In the gain or loss of one race all the rest have equal claim. It is altogether fitting that this great audience, white and black, should unite in doing honor to one whose achievement and attainment reflect so much credit upon American institutions, American training and education, American life, and particularly as they do upon the colored race to which he belongs. "The brilliant young man to whom the committee has awarded the Spingarn medal has achieved distinction in a field where competition is the keenest and where real worth is the final test. In the New England college, where few of his race have been found, he was the leader in scholarship, receiving special honor, and since his graduation much of his time has been given to successful scientific investigation, and his contribution to medical science is of no mean order. In the highest and best sense he has been giving himself to his own people, modestly and unselfishly giving of the results of his own intellectual endeavor, trying to improve the medical educational facilities for the colored people. "A distinguished scholar writes of him, 'His most recent work is of the greatest significance and would insure him a wide reputation were he a white man.' I have no right, of course, to take issue with this statement, for the writer is far better informed than am I, but I am slow to believe. I hate to believe that in the field of medical science my countrymen are ungenerous and unwilling to ward a just meed of praise and the proper recognition to a real scientist of any race. "Dr. Just has made the most of the opportunities offered to the boys of our land, white and black. His success is a reason for gratification to every loyal American, demonstrating as it does the possibilities, with opportunity, of a race which in years gone by has suffered so cruelly at the hands of the white man. It is interesting, too, to note that he was chosen from among a long list of candidates for this honor, every one of whom reflected crest upon his race and demonstrated the ability of a people who a little more than a generation ago were in darkness, to compete with other Americans, and almost all of them, as I am informed, are working with and among the colored people. Education, improved conditions of living, opportunity and achievement, have not torn them away from their own or separated them from their kinsmen and their kind. "The success of this young man has been called a lesson to the Negroes of this nation. And so it is. It is just as truly a lesson to the white man of the nation. His rights are dear to him, but unless we are going to concede that American institutions are wrong and that the framers of the federal constitution and federal laws are wrong his rights should be just as dear to us as they are to him. Speaking for a moment for the state, discrimination as against any race or class or creed must in the end injure all. We are one people in New York. We have a common duty and a common destiny, and for selfish reasons if for no other the rights of the weaker must be guarded and protected by the stronger, and the sacred privileges of American citizenship must be denied to none." In presenting the medal the governor said: "Dr. Just, on behalf of the committee it is my very great privilege, and I esteem it a great personal honor, to present to you this medal." It is the first time that it has been presented, and I am sure that you appreciate, as we do, the honor of being the first recipient. And I know, and we want you to know, and we want those whom you represent and those who know you and honor you and love you to realize and believe the truth as it is the truth, that the spirit which has prompted the award of this medal is the spirit of fellowship, of brotherhood and of Americans." In response Dr. Just said: "I thank the association for the award not so much for myself, but on behalf of the students whom I represent."

Coleman is getting on with his collections on that petition soliciting funds to pay an attorney to go to Sacramento and interview the Governor with regard to commuting the death sentence on that poor unfortunate colored man. This is a worthy cause and shows that Rev. Coleman, amidst his other important and pressing duties has spared the time to help a poor fellow-creature condemned to death. This is the kind of preacher the Sunshine likes, but we know a good many preachers who are just as busy as bees always and never do anything outside their own church. We never see them on the streets meeting men and women in the busy walks of life, dropping into see the men at their places of business, etc. They are too busy to become acquainted with the affairs of their community. These are not the kind of preachers the Sunshine likes. That fence around the Old Folks' Home—where is that society? WHAT THE SUNSHINE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. On last Tuesday evening we journeyed to the Capitol at Sacramento to be present at the debate on the Allensworth School Bill, but for some reason the bill was not brought up and Senator Anderson, chairman of the committee, was evidently waiting on Attorney Oscar Hudson of San Francisco to present his protest, as the Senator is quoted as saying that if Attorney Hudson had put in an appearance he would have allowed him to address the Educational Committee. We were scheduled to have something to say on the proposed school, but being unable to locate ourselves, our friends and guides or the committee until it was too late, we had to depart without addressing that committee. However, we will send a letter direct to the chairman. We met quite a number of Senators and passed the evening listening to the debate on local option. It is the belief of some the legislators that if a school of that sort was located in Allensworth it would be difficult for Negroes to enter other schools, as they would be informed to attend the school set apart for them. So in view of this fact and the further fact that forty years ago Negro children were not allowed to attend any public school with the whites, we hardly see the necessity of borrowing this trouble, as we are sure the whites will construe it to mean separation asked by us. So in view of our peculiar situation here we must oppose all forms of separation. Some strong young men take a trip out to the Old People's Home at Beulah and do about two days of good spading and weed cutting. If not, let some charitable society or individual leave two or three dollars at the Sunshine office so Mrs. Eddenberg can have the work done. Who will be he first to leave fifty cents or a dollar? Rev. Newman, the new pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of this city, has a very nice chance and seems to be going right ahead in his new field with a good attendance.

TRUE REFORMERS LED WAY. How John Mitchell and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker Are Looming Up as Capains of Finance—Generous Spirit For Friendly Co-operation Shown by the Hon. Giles B. Jackson. Richmond, Va.—in a hard times year, with war in Europe, cotton stagnating in the south, trade conditions disjointed, a new currency system being installed and pessimistic customers drawing in their horns in what President Wilson has described as a "psychological panic," Richmond's banking houses managed to earn and pay the largest dividends in the city's history, as shown by their records in January. The increase over 1913 amounts to $5,490, according to the Industrial Advocate. This calculation includes the banks operated by the colored people as well as the whites, as the colored folks pay dividends in the same order and are supervised over by the state banking commissioner the same as the white banks. The banks run by our people are inserted in the list, but to one not familiar with the different institutions it would be difficult to know where these banks are located or whether they are operated by colored or white people. The fact that our banks were included without discrimination speaks well for the colored people of Richmond, who founded their own banks. It is true that the pioneer colored bank of this city went out of business in 1910, but it is sufficient to say that this bank laid the foundation for those which are now succeeding it. We refer to the Mechanics' Savings bank over which John Mitchell, Jr., presides, and the St. Luke's Savings bank, of which Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is president. She is a woman in a class by herself and is the only colored woman who is president of a bank in this country, or in the world, so far as we know. If we had just ten men her equal, the race would advance 100 per cent in the financial and industrial field. Mrs. Walker is at the head of one of the greatest organizations of our race, or any race. We refer to the Order of St. Lukes, which has paid out $100,000 to widows and orphans, every dollar --- neely refused to play the local boys and the latter had declined to eliminate Ed from their lineup just to please the fancies of some southerners the Commercial eleven took the next train for West Point to see the big game there.

Your organization has awakened there will be a disposition on the part of all colored people to turn their support to it as the means to the end of the achievement of their iced Buttermilk for sale, and instead of so many nickels going for cheap soda water, which is frequently harmful, many of them will go into large, satisfying glasses of cool, refreshing, health giving buttermilk. During health week your physician will tell you much that you didn't know about buttermilk. Among other things, he will tell you that people who use it as one of their principal foods are healthy, happy and possess a rugged resistance to sickness and disease. He will also tell you that buttermilk has all the refreshing goodness of beer and soda water, with none of their bad after effects. Buttermilk is nature's drink and eventually will become the nation's drink. Dieticians everywhere are advocating its constant use, and in some of the larger cities they already have regular buttermilk establishments to supply the rapidly increasing demand for this popular drink. A "drink more buttermilk" movement among the colored people of the south will reduce sickness 30 per cent and increase individual efficiency in the same proportion. For further information concerning the national Negro health week consult any physician in your city or write direct to Booker T.

I venture, therefore, to hope and request that you will lend such influence in aid of this movement as you may deem proper and advisable. The national government granted the request of the Negro Historical and Industrial association by appropriating $55,000, which will enable the promoters of the exposition to make a fairly good showing. But this sum is not enough to finance the whole scheme. It is expected that the state of Virginia will make an appropriation for the carrying out of the plans for the coming celebration commensurate with the thrift and industry shown by the colored people of the state. President Giles B. Jackson is greatly encouraged by the support which our people in Richmond are giving toward the accomplishment of the aims of the association. MASTER OF HIS SUBJECT. George W. Ellis Writes Book on "Nar- gan Culture in West Africa" Hon. George W. Ellis, for eight years secretary of the American legation in Liberia, who has traveled in West Africa, is the author of a new and interesting book, "Negro Culture in West Africa," which is bound to have an extensive circulation because there is no other book like it from the pen of a Negro writer as able and well informed in things African as George W. Ellis confessedly is. Speaking of Negro culture, a prominent writer says one is surprised at their (the African's) knowledge of hygiene, physiology and the principles of medicine. Some of the operations performed by their physicians simply stagger belief. Instances are cited where their surgeons have extracted bullets and set bones, removing fractured and shattered parts that would have been a surgical triumph in any of the highly civilized countries. This seems incredible, but when you see a native doctor wash a man's hand in a medical solution, then see that hand thrust into boiling palm off and withdrawn without pain or injury, something suggests to the strongest incredulity that perhaps these people have learned something yet unknown to modern science.

Stuart's Interest In Plans For the Coming Celebration. The commissioners having charge of the plans for holding a state and national exposition at Richmond, Va., for a mouth, beginning July 4, are receiving substantial support and encouragement from both races in Virginia and many influential white people in various sections of the country. The exposition is to be held under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Industrial association of Richmond. The Hon. Giles B. Jackson, president of the association, with his able force of workers, is working diligently night and day on the many details for securing and placing exhibits of almost every description which show merit and appropriateness for the occasion. When the idea of holding such an exposition was brought to the attention, of former Governor William Hodges Mann just before his term of office expired Governor Mann said, "I think the purpose manifested in the papers submitted and the ambition on the part of the colored people of Virginia to equal, if not surpass, the achievements of their race in the states where such celebrations have been held in the past should, and I trust will, incline the general assembly to consider their request for an appropriation to aid them in holding an exposition at Richmond." Governor H. C. Stuart, the present chief executive of Virginia, in a letter to President Wilson urging his support in having the United States government make an appropriation toward the expense of the exposition, said: 'My Dear Mr. President-A number of representative Negro citizens of Virginia have presented to me a comprehensive plan for holding an exposition in Richmond, under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Industrial association, in commemoration of the fifthth anniversary of the achievements of their race. I have appropriated $5,000 from the national government to aid in their enterprise. I thoroughly indorse their plan and purpose to hold an exposition where they can show evidence of their progress since their arrival. Without meaning to interfere with the plans for the Panama exposition it would seem that it would be of far greater benefit to the Negro race that the appropriation of £6,000 be made to the Negro department. Without meaning to interfere with the Negro department at the exposition, for the reason that nearly all of the Negroes live this side of the Mississippi river and that Richmond is the center of the Negro population in the United States. I believe that the administration owes this much to the Negro and that any aid that may be given them in securing the appropriation will be worthily bestowed on the Negro population of the United States.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "We will wait to get the big dolls." When they were sent out, the manager declared that was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars, Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come.

The Dumbar Literary Society which was organized in the month of September last year is still alive and is proving itself a worthy institution. Since its organization it has accomplished a number of good things for the race in this city. Mr. D. W. Boyden, backed by the two live and energetic pastors of the city, in the persons of Rev. G. W. Reed, of the Second Baptist Church, and Rev. J. A. Duncan of the A. M. E. church, are doing things that shall live in the memory of the people of the race for years to come. The Second Baptist Church is rapidly progressing. There were four new joiners a few Sundays ago, and several sinners came forward on last Sunday and gave their hand asking for prayer. The Pastor, Rev. G. W. Reed is preaching a series of sermons on the 'Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia." The church is looking forward to making extensive improvements in the near future. Deacon J. H. Burrows, who served the Sunday school of the second Baptist church for twenty-five years was awarded a gold medal, the same was appropriately presented by the pastor. A colation was served in his honor by the Sunday school after the ceremony.

Work of National League on Urban Conditions in New York. New York.—The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has since Feb. 10 been conducting for the mayor's unemployment committee a shop for unemployed colored men at St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church, 210 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. The shop started with forty-four men, and by Feb. 19 the number had increased to 305. The unemployed among the colored people in this city can be judged by the fact that, although this shop has not been advertised through the local press, more than sixty men were turned away after the shop had been in operation nine days on account of lack of room. The men roll bandages and make surgical dressings. The product is donated to the Lincoln hospital and other hospitals in the city handling the largest number of patients. The league is thinking of donating some of the product also to the hospitals in some of the southern cities and at Tuskegee and Hampton institutes. The men receive 50 cents for the time between 10 and 3 o'clock and are given their luncheon free. This luncheon consists of sandwiches and coffee. Before the hour of 10 and after 3 o'clock the men are expected to look for employment. Married men with families are given the preference. Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the mayor's unemployment committee: Mr. Henry Brueue, city chauklaim: Mr. George W. Perkins and Miss Charlotte M. Royd, chairman of the committee on shops for unemployed men, visited the workshop, and ex pressed themselves as being highly pleased with its management and the spirit of the men. The courts from this workshop are declar to be the clearest and most complete, and the work turned out by the men has been declared by one of New York's largest hospitals to be the most nearly pencil among the baundages and dressings received from the various shops in the city. The shop is under the supervision of Miss Louise R. Lattimer, and Miss Cora L. Winston, a graduate of Lincoln hospital is in charge of the baundage rolling St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church is donating the use of its Sunday school rooms for the workshop. SOME FEATURES OF HEALTH WEEK, BEGINNING MARCH 2 National Negro Business League Sugges Starting Buttermilk Clubs. One of the results of the nation's Negro health week, which is to be observed from March 21 to 27, will be a wider and broader knowledge of nature's greatest health beverage, buttermilk. Physicians trained nurses, drug stores and a..local organizations are going to devote some of their time during health week to educating the race concernin' the benefits to be derived from the regular use of this delightful food drink. We are going to have buttermilk clubs all over the south, and the members are going to pledge themselves to drink buttermilk instead of beer, near beer and bottles of "pop". During the beer's summer months grocery stores, drug stores, and cafes will keep MEHARRY COLLEGE MAKES PROGRESS SHOWS HIGH EFFICIENCY. Fine Record of Brilliant Young Alumnus, Who Is Giving His Alma Mater the Benefit of His Rare Knowledge. Dean Hubbard's Devotion to the Medical Profession. Nashville, Teen—The Meharry Medter', Dental and Pharmaceutical college has furnished to the race most of the physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the south, among whom are some of the best in the country. These men and women, scattered all over the United States, are helping to make sentiment for the entire race. Dr. R. H. Voorhees, a young man in this city, occupied a place in the front rank of dentists and is now devoting his time in trying to help other young men to become proficient and make good. He has earned all that he has or all that he has made in the way of a reputation. He has been doing work along this line for the past sixteen years. When he entered Meharry nearly twenty years ago he was without money, but he had pluck, push and ambition, backed up by industry, honesty and reliability, and with these he appeared before Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of the college, declaring that he desired to be a dentist. He was not afraid of work, but had formed an alliance with it. He worked in the school printing office and during the summer found employment in hotels in various parts of the country. In this way he was able to finish his course. Thus his life and work should be an inspiration to other young men of the race who are sitting around complaining about nothing to do or the treatment at the hands of other races. It was in 1901 that this young man graduated from Meharry dental department, sharing a part of the glass honors. He was ready-to start in life, but did not have money enough to buy the necessaries of life, to say nothing about furnishing an office. He had made a good impression on the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, and when his condition was made known to this great man he at once furnished an office in his own building, fitted it up and then turned his attention to giving encouragement to Dr. Voordees as well as other young men. Giving four hours each day to teaching in the dental department of Meharry and having a large city practice will account for the first two years of Dr. Voorhees' work in Nashville, and after four years of good work he went to Chicago, where he took a post graduate course in the Northwestern university dental department and was perhaps the first member of the race to receive a certificate from the post graduate course of that institution. With this diploma he returned to Nashville better prepared to prosecute his work. Practicing in the city and teaching in Meharry is the record of this young man for a number of years. Now he has charge of the dental department of the school, being the demonstrator and instructor. Wonderful improvements have been made from time to time until it ranks second to none in the country. This has forced Dr. Voorhees to give up his actual practice and devote his entire time to the work. This has been done at a sacrifice, but with a desire to help young men. He is devoted to Meharry and declares that he is willing to do anything in his power for the success of the school. He deems it necessary for the members of the race to make sacrifices like men of the order and rank of Dr. George W. Hubbard. When yet a young man he married, and a few years ago his wife died. Since he has remarried, he has a comfortable home and home surroundings. As to the work of Dr. Hubbard it is interesting to note that he has given fifty years of his life to medical work. Sixteen years ago there were to be found in the dental department nineteen students and an infirmary with five chairs and one small laboratory. At this time there are 136 students, two infirmaries with twenty-three chairs and six laboratories fitted with most of the latest equipments. Most of these improvements and progress have been made under Dr. Voorhees' supervision. In the graduating class for this year are thirty-nine students, and they are working hard to finish and then launch out into the world. The demonstrator, Dr. Voorhees, keeps in direct touch with the graduates from his department and is prepared to tell about each of them. He shows what thorough preparation will do for a young man who tries to advance. Useful Book on Business Enterprises. C. H. Watson of Charlotte, N.

"While I would be the last man in the world to encourage, by word or thought or deed, anything but loyalty and devotion to the flag and to the government, I have sometimes been amazed to think that one-tenth of the population of the United States-10,000,000 Americans—who have to intents and purposes been _c_trained from the privileges of the sovereignty of which they should be an active part, are loyal to the government. "My hope is that some day there will be a sufficient number of men elected from that free section of the nation north of the Mason and Dixon line to both houses of congress to shape policies in such a way that the men and women of your race south of Mason and Dixon's line will have the right to express their views at the ballot box and to send their own men—men of their own race—to speak for them and to express their views, to act as their megaphones in shaping the laws and policies of the country of which you have a right to expect to be an integral part. There is no justice in the present situation. No man living can justify the attitude assumed toward your people in the south. "I would be unworthy to speak as an American representative in the halls of congress if I were not to lift my voice in defense of a people who have been so discriminated against, and if the time ever comes that I lose the courage to do that which I believe to be right in your defense then I would not speak to myself if I met myself coming around a corner." In reciting his views as to the basis of representation in the house of representatives Mr. Madden related an incident that happened years ago when the matter was up for action in congress. As a bit of unwritten history it was of more than ordinary interest, and the audience gave undisguised evidence of its pleasure in having the speaker let out the secret and take them into his confidence. Mr. Madden said: "Personally I would have the representation in the house of representatives based upon the number of people who are allowed to vote instead of the number of people who live in a state. And if that were true we would have some representation from your race, because those people down there of my race south of the Mason and Dixon's line would be compelled to respect the voice of the sovereign voter. "I am going to tell you a secret that I have never told in a public audience before. We had a Republican congress once or twice as I have been here. All Republicans are not as liberal in their views as I am—they are willing to admit that, and I assert it—but I undertook in a caucus of Republican members of the house one night to restrict the representation from the southern states until your people had justice done than [prolonged applause], and I came within six votes of carrying the resolution." Mr. Madden said some good things about the discussion in congress about the immigration bill, which went to its death largely through his vigorous opposition, and to the anti-mixed marriage bill, that is destined to go the same way as soon as it can be reached. On these points the eloquent Illinoisan said: "The legislation which we have recently been called upon to oppose is inquisitive. Take the immigration legislation, for example. There was absolutely no reason under the sun for injecting the African exclusion clause into that measure. We won out, but we had to fight for our victory. Take the next case, the case making criminal marriages between blacks and whites in the District of Columbia. That was outrageous, not that I believe in marriages between blacks and whites, for I do not, and neither do you, but I do believe that if a black man and a white woman want to marry it is their business. "I believe that when they do marry the white woman ostracizes herself from her people and the black man ostracizes himself from his people, but if they want to ostracize themselves that is their business. They are not committing any crime, according to my judgment. Let them do it. There are not many of these marriages. Neither race wants to do it. You would rather associate with your own people. It is natural that you should, but I am opposed to the enactment of any law by the congress of the United States that makes it a crime. I am in favor of giving every right of defense to maintain the virtue of the black girls of America that the white women enjoy." Pleading for an Americanism that will not make this republic ashamed of itself when the foreigner comes to our shores and witnesses the treatment we inflict on 10,000,000 patriotic citizens—in a land professedly of the free and the home of the brave—Mr. Madden closed with a fervent prayer that "the day be not far distant when there will be an army of courageous men and women of every nationality who will be willing to go on the highways and byways and preach the doctrine of equal justice to every man, woman and child, no matter what their color or what their creed." Success of Mississippi Women's Clubs.
