Phoenix Tribune

Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes SPECIAL ARTICLE ON CONFIDENCE AND CO-OPERATION WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR THE READERS OF THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Because we have had so many failures among us, and also some dishonesty, we are afraid to trust each other. We trust almost without question, men who are not members of the race. Now there is plenty of money circulating among the race—yea, we handle plenty of money, but there is very little business independent of men who are members of the race—men who are not of our racial group. If you should see a ferry boat lying high and dry on the shore, and should say to the owner: "There is a superabundance of ferry boats," he would probably reply: "No, but there is a scarcity of water." So it is with the colored man in business. There is not a scarcity of money among the race, but there is a scarcity of business owned and operated by members of the race. We have had difficulties almost insurmountable in the past, just as other races have had, and we will continue to have them. Presidents of banks will continue to squander funds intrusted to their keeping, as presidents of banks of other groups have done and are doing; insurance companies will collect weekly dues from their membership, while they are well and willing to pay, but just as soon as the member is reported sick, it is an easy matter to find a clause in the policy which prevents the company from paying off. Plenty of insurance companies managed by other races do the same thing. I might multiply these illustrations indefinitely. Capital belonging to members of the race is held in the nervous clutch of fear; but this condition is changing, and slowly and surely we are coming to honest methods in our business and we are going to succeed in spite of ourselves, in spite of all obstacles put in our way. Confidence must find an abiding place among us. The door of opportunity must be opened by colored men for colored men. Avenues of employment for the men and women, and for the boys and girls of the race must be opened up by enterprises fostered by ourselves. And when confidence abides with us in one another, our dollars will leave their hiding places and start on their nobler mission of adding wealth, happiness and contentment to our people wherever found on earth. I am pleading for confidence in each other—in ourselves and in our boys and girls. There is a malicious propaganda—yes a deliberate propaganda, against our honesty, fitness, morals, ability and character. This propaganda is deep-seated, and instills in all the people everywhere a distrust and lack of confidence in our enterprises and business concerns—the business which we seek to foster. It destroys property, arrays class against class, race against race, denies one the right to labor and enjoy the fruits of his labor; fosters peonage, licenses vice among the ignorant, destroys virtue among the virtuous, rewards dishonesty and humiliates and tramples under foot all manhood rights because of one's color; and the narrow, selfish trait which permeates the breast of most of mankind is ever present in our souls to give credence and fan to a flame a belief in this death-dealing propaganda which has for three hundred years been the direct cause of confidence and race unity dwelling so far removed from the hearts of our men and women. This propaganda is put forth in the interest of avarice and greed. It should be stamped out, yes, eradicated root and branch by men and women of any race. I want to tell you that this infamous propaganda to which I have called your attention, has done more to destroy your chance, your boy's chance and all our chances, than all of the unfriendly and inimical laws found on the statute books of the Southern states. It is an imposition upon every solvent colored man a frown upon every virtuous colored woman in the world. It assassinates our business enterprises, our racial unity, our race pride, independence and rights, and writes upon the face of every one of us "Inferiority." We should despise this propaganda, this American Kultur. It robs our language of every sweet and tender word in it. It takes the meaning out of the words, father—mother—sister—brother, and turns the temple of love into a vile den where crawl the slimy reptiles of lust and hatred. We must uproot distrust and kill old man Lack-of-Confidence. We must erect a monument dedicated to confidence in ourselves, honesty of purpose, independence of character in every town and hamlet und in the remotest sections of this country. We must open wide the door of honest employment to our own men and women in every city and town in this country. This should be the life work of us all—everywhere—North, West, East, South. Again, no man in business can afford to raise hell, sow discord, stir up hate, appeal to prejudice and things like that to sell. He should raise hogs, sheep, horses, cows, mules, oats and corn to sell. No man in business should deal in slander, gossip, rumors, cheating and swindling to sell. He should deal in hardware, boots, drugs, clothing and groceries to sell. He should give a dollar's worth for a dollar. Now, let us see. Have you ever thought of this? Conservatively estimated, there are in the environments of Phoenix over 2,000 colored people. Suppose we say each person will need at least two pair of shoes a year. Suppose we price them moderately, say ten dollars a pair. That would be Forty Thousand Dollars a Year for Shoes Alone! These 2,000 people must eat. And suppose we say that it will require about Twenty-five dollars a month to buy food for them. This will make the enormous sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars a Month, or Six Hundred Thousand Dollars a year. Now, clothing is very essential. Suppose we say that 2,000 people will spend on an average of $100 a year for clothes. That gives Two Hundred Thousand Dollars for Clothes. By this simple process of addition we find that we spend the TREMENDOUS SUM OF EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR, which to say the least, is staggering in its proportion. The above sum does not include the money spent for cigars, candy, chewing gum, cigarettes, tobacco, snuff, cold drinks and other things we think are necessary for our comfort. Don't you think it would be fine to have some concerns and enterprises among ourselves to garner, use and handle a part of this huge sum for the benefit of ourselves and our posterity? We produce this money under present methods and it is used and handled almost exclusively by and for the benefit of everybody else save ourselves and our children. The leading thought should turn its attention to the development of enterprises fostered and managed and owned by colored business men that will open the door of hope to every colored man, woman and child in the entire country. It would be simply fine if we could work out some plan whereby the million or more of dollars spent in Phoenix by colored people would be used and handled for the benefit of the race. We must develop manliness and real independence. We must conserve our small earnings and preserve our independence. How? By building beautiful homes, planting trees and flowers and by making the section of the city in which we live the most beautiful and inviting part of town. By qualifying our boys and girls by intensive training in the trades and professions and every avenue of honest endeavor. Do we wish to have our boys and girls clerks in stores? Then we must establish such VOL. IV. No.5 ```markdown ``` By. PROF. P. LANDRY (Principal Douglas School) had so many failures among us to trust each other. We trust not members of the race.

The altercation followed an argument between church officials as to how, the money should be collected. The congregation backed away terrorized. Rev. Donnell stepped between the battlers and was cut. Seeing the injury, the deacons fled. White Republicans Of Georgia Indorse Lincoln Johnson For Committeema (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., April 21—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson is in receipt of a copy of resolutions from a gathering of leading white republicans in Georgia, held last week, in which he is unanimously endorsed as national committeeman, duly elected and qualified, and a prayer to the National Committee to recognize him as the person through whom patronage favors are granted, as in other states, regardless of race or Color. The endorsement came as a total surprise to Col. Johnson, and the gathering was the largest held in Atlanta in years. In another statement one of the leading white citizens stated that developments in Georgia peonage cases proved that not only was Johnson's last year Chicago testimony true, but that "it was as a zephyr compared to a whirlwind." VISITS AFRICAN PRESIDENT (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, April 21.—(Special) President King, and associate envoyes extraordinary, of Liberia, were received at the White House, Friday afternoon, by President Harding, being present by Sec'y. of State Hughes. Immediately following, according to diplomatic courtesy, President Harding accompanied by military aid, returned the call at the Liberian envoy's mansion. The exchange of courtesies was very cordial and an official situation disposed of, that has cause wide comment. PRESCOTT By Mrs. Dora Rose The masquerade ball given by Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Jordan at the Masonic hall Friday night was a tremendous success. Music was furnished by Mr. William Martin and Mrs. Conners. Al present report an enjoyable time. Miss Jennie Hawkins has been confined to her bed the past week with illness. Mrs. Eliza Moker has returned to Prescott after an absence of nearly a year in San Jose, Missouri and adjoining towns.

Camlin, was given a delightful surprise last Saturday evening when a number of members and friends "stormed" the parsonage with good things to eat. The pastor did not say 'come again next Saturday but judging from the way he smiled, we know that is what he meant. The Prescott Social Art club met last Friday with Mrs. R. M. Garret and held a very interesting meeting. All had a delightful time. The meeting this Friday afternoon will be held with Mrs. Mary E. Scott, a popular member of the younger set who returned last week from a visit to Phoenix. Friends of Mrs. Fred B. Jones, formerly of this city, have received word from him staining that he is comfortably settled in his home in Lawrence Kansas and is well and happy. Miss Lena Collins, niece of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. McCarty, is reported seriously ill this week. She is at the home of her aunt. GEORGIA EDITOR SCORES WILLIAMS FOR BLACK CRIME GEORGIA EDITOR SCORES WILLIAMS FOR BLACK CRIME (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbus, Ga., April 21.—Commenting on the Williams' peonage case, the following editorial by Thomas W. Loveless appears in the Enquirer-Sun. Under this caption: "Mercy for What?" Loveless writes: "A Newton county jury has tried John S. Williams, the Jasper county multi-murderer, found him guilty and recommended him to the mercy of the court. By what process of reasoning the jury arrived at this form of verdict is difficult to imagine. But if we brush aside all subterfuge and tell the plain truth about it, the verdict is not so difficult to understand. And this plain truth is—we have not yet reached that stage of grace, or of justice in Georgia, where we "hang a white man for killing a nigger," as he expressed it. "It is true, of course, that strictly speaking, Williams was tried in Newton county for the murder of only one of the eleven Negroes killed by him and his chief butcher, Manning, but in reality, he was on trial for all of these eleven murders, for, if he was guilty of one, he was guilty of all and maybe others. "However, the owner and operator of this Georgia 'murder farm' escapes with his own life, a penitentiary sentence—and, perhaps, a pardon later on. Thus do we again advertise Georgia. God help her." M E S A By Alphonso Robinson Last Wednesday night, April 13th, being the birthday anniversary of Mrs. Mamie Roan, Mrs. Samuel Wilson made up a surprise party going to the residence of Mrs. Roan at 129 North Morris street where they carried the beautiful birthday cake, ice cream and other dainties.

Graham, Mrs. Laura Lee, Miss Kate Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Roan and Mr. Nelson. Music for the occasion was furnished by Messers Lee and Nelson. Various games were played, after which refreshments were served. Mrs. Roan was presented with a beautiful bouquet by Mrs. A. Wilson. At a late hour all departed wishing Mrs. Roan a happy birthday and many of them. Rev. J. A. Jones was a visiting minister in the city last Sunday. He took an active part in the Sunday school and also in the the church services. Mr. Henry Jenkins and family have moved to the country where the kiddies can romp and play and where all can enjoy the pure, fresh country air.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE OBJECTS TO SALARY PAID BLACK LAWYER CHICAGO TRIBUNE OBJECTS TO SALARY PAID BLACK LAWYER (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, April 21.—Edward H. Wright, the famed Colored attorney of this city, is causing the local daily press a world of worry. It appears that Mr. Wright, as the chief legal expert of the city's traction plan, has drawn $30,000 in fees during the past year. The TRIBUNE calls attention to the fact that this is very near to one third of the sum, $107,324 paid to the entire staff of experts on the city pay roll. The "World's Greatest Newspaper" calls Mr. Wright, "Negro attorney of ability," and "Negro adviser on Mayor's Traction Plan." In the meantime Mr. Wright remains mum and continues to draw his fees. Perhaps it is a fine thing to turn the left cheek to the fellow who has slapped us on the right—perhaps. Good-bye Winter. Hello Spring Booze in Preacher's Home, So Federal Agents Allege--- Arrestcd, Placed in Jail; He Has to Face the Judge? Youngstown, Ohio, April 21. Rev. William Anderson, a Negro preacher of McKinley Heights, near here, was arrested today by Federal agents who say they found two stills in the cellar of his home. Let us not be to harsh or hasty in our conclusions. "Judge not lest ye be judged." The pastor may have found, or was trying to find, some method of making wine for communion service. Blacks of Virginia. (By The Associated Negro Press) Hampton, Va., April 21.—Negro farmers of Virginia are working systematically to improve their land, grow larger food crops, build more attractive homes, and encourage their boys and girls to go to school, is the report of John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service of the Virginia Colored district agents,—successfully developing state-wide extension work among Colored farmers and their families. The report says: Of three boards of supervisors that had failed to appropriate money for the work of Colored county agents, two were finally induced to make appropriations. DOUGLAS A surprise birthday party was given Mr. W. T. Weaver at 617 F avenue last Wednesday by four ladies, namely: Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Kimball, Mrs. McCann and Mrs. Batiste. A delightful repast was served and the party will long be remembered by Mr. and Mrs. Weaver. The Hon. Geo. B. Cruickshank delivered a lecture here last week taking as his subject: "Leadership". He made a profound impression on the audience and was highly complimented for his splendid lecture. Mrs. Weaver presided at the piano and the choir rendered some choice selections for the occasion.

SYSTEM OF PEONAGE FOUND TO EXIST IN OLD TENNESSEE SYSTEM OF PEONAGE FOUND TO EXIST IN OLD TENNESSEE (By The Associated Negro Press) Knoxville, Tenn., April 21.—Following an investigation of conditions said to have existed at a camp on the Lee highway near Tate Springs, Tenn., federal officials arrested four men on charges of "conspiracy" to hold men in peonage. The men arrested are R. P. Woods, superintendent, and three foremen employed by the Southern Construction Company, holding a large contract for work on the Lee highway, which extends from Virginia thru east Tennessee southward. The arrests were made by United States marshals and special agents, who conducted the investigation under direction of the United States district attorney. The four men were taken before a federal commissioner, where they made temporary bond for preliminary hearing Friday morning. Their bonds were signed by W. C. Rinearson, chief engineer on the works, where until recently seventy-five men, Negroes Mexicans, have been emploved. Frightful conditions of peonage are charged in the warrants. One court recites that three Negroes ran away March 18 were recaptured, taken back, stripped of their clothing, laid across a tool chest in a tent occupied by one of the foremen and beaten with a pine board three feet long by six inches wide. One of the Negroes exhibited a broken wrist, which he said he sustained in trying to protect himself. The others also exhibited marks of violence. Two other Negroes were beaten and wounded the same day after they had run away. Armed guards made them work during the day and patrolled the camp at night to prevent further escapes. More than fifteen other Negroes told of being mistreated and held in peonage. The government says the defendants claim the Negroes owed them money advanced for railroad fare and board. All the Negroes have been released by government men. ANXIOUS TO BE RELEASED (By The Associated Negro Press) Tampa, Fla., April 21.—Applying for a divorce, an old Florida citizen.

Eastlake park Sunday afternoon holding the east side boys to six scattered hits and one run and the lants romped off with a two to one victory in the best game of baseball ever staged in the Salt River Valley. Salazar, pitching for the Tigers, was touched for 12 hits four of them bunched in the fourth inning giving the Giants the winning score. The Tigers scored their lone run in the lucky seventh. With two down and Orduno on third Pepper hit a hard grounder to White who fumbled the ball and threw wild to first, but Bobo recovered the ball and threw Pepper out at second Orduno scoring on White's wild heave to first. The Tigers managed to place runners on bases, but White was too much in the pinches and the score sheet was kept blank. Several double plays by the Tigers saved them from a worse defeat. The Giants worked a double play that saved two scores. Salazar used a slow ball that fooled the Giants at times, but the colored boys got to him for four hits in the fourth which was the only time the Giants appeared real dangerous. The game was exciting from start to finish and kept the crowd in suspense until the last batter was retired. Close to 2,000 fans watched the game. Spencer umpired a nice game, though his judgment seemed off to some of the fans at times. Score by innings: R. H. E. Giants ..... 000 200 000—2 12 2 Tigers ..... 000 000 100—1 6 4 Batteries: White and Rosser; Salazar and Scott. Sunday's victory entitled the Giants to the Riverside park game for next Sunday. They will meet the White Sox who were returned victors in the Mesa game. He Called on God and Quickly Fell---- Where He Has Gone No Man Can Tell (Special to The Tribune) Chicago, April 21—Mack Dillon today fell dead after he had called on God to strike him dead if a statement attributed to him were true. Dillon was defendant in a recovery suit. A witness attri- buted a damaging statment him. "I hope God strikes me dead if I made that statement!" ex- claimed Dillon, as he left the Court room. He fell dead on the street. Attorneys and Court attaches said Dillon appeared to be in perfect health when he left the Court room. He asked God to strike him dead if he was not telling the truth. He died. Let us be chari- table. We do not believe that God took him at his word, but that his death resulted from natural cause. A weak heart and the excitement of Court proceedings undoubtedly caus- ed the fatality. We have heard many people call on God to strike them dead if they were lying. They still live and they still lie. We have one citizen here who was famous for say- ing. "If it ain't true I hope God may paralyze me." The fact that he still lives, hale and hearty, is a grand tribute to the charity of God. We live for them who love us and often for them who owe us. This Spring our thoughts loudly and more loudly turn to the low cost of living.

THE ASSOCIATED INFRO PRIMS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE owing are comments on President Hardi gathered by The Associated Negro Prch, when seen at the headquarters of relative Relief, said: The following are comments on President Harding's message to congress, gathered by The Associated Negro Press (Special)—R. R. Church, when seen at the headquarters of the Committee on Legislative Relief, said: "I regard the statement of President Harding, delivered before the congress today, as the most significant statement made by any president, regarding our group since Lincoln. No one who looked into Senator Harding's face at Marion last July and heard him deliver his speech of acceptance, could doubt the sincerity of the man. "Aside from the high sense of justice which has always characterized the president, it shows the power of the Negro Press, which has, for the past decade, been advocating congressional relief from the barbaric practice of lynching. "We must not expect everything to happen within a day, but this statement from the president marks the beginning of the end of this crime. His advocacy of a race commission will go far toward bringing about the desired result, and I feel that his reference to us is broad enough for all elements of our group to feel justly proud that we played our part in helping to elect him. The glory is great enough for us all to share. The fight has just begun." Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the only Negro member of the Republican National Committee from the State of Georgia, and who is in Washington with Hon. Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, Hon. Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana, Hon. Chas. A. Cottrill of Ohio, and others, pressing for the enactment of legislation by congress that will put a stop to lynching, peonage, mob violence, Ku Kluxism, disfranchisement, and similar injustices visited upon American citizens of color, was interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press with reference to the president's first message to congress. Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson made the following statement: "The high-minded words of President Harding, in his address to the American congress on the state of the country, bring no surprise to those who know him best and love him most. It is just another exhibition of President Harding's true greatness and benevolent statesmanship that made us all feel happy over his acceptance address at Marion, Ohio, on July 22 last. "The president knows the country, and our country's needs, and every group who make up this country, and the president has the high, Christian courage to remedy the wrongs done helpless people as no other president has ever done before. "We are confirmed in our beliefs; we are happy at the prospects of relief, and we know that the president remembers well the business needs of all the people as well as the great sorrows and afflictions of some of the people." Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Mississippi, one of the most prominent and successful lawyers, made the following comment: "To the twelve million bleeding hearts in this country, it brings satisfaction as the morning dew to the parching grass, and will give heart and courage to those who have been wearing the galling yoke of prejudice for all these many years." Walter L. Cohen: "The reference made by the president to our group in his address delivered at the opening of congress, was the statement of a Christian gentleman. It brings to those who have been sorely tried the hope of a future filled with peace and happiness—the beginning of a new era of free citizenship. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, expressed his opinion of the president's message in a letter to President Harding, in which he said: "As a colored American I write to express to you the thought and opinion which, I am sure, is shared by thoughtful members of my race throughout the country, viz: "A profound sense of gratitude for the courageous statement upon the subject of lynching in your special message to congress yesterday." "What you had to say will, I am sure, arouse the conscience of the nation and will bring to the people of America a keener appreciation of the fact that until we have set our own house in order in America it ill becomes us to be concerning ourselves with the affairs of the world." Above we print only a few of the comments on President Harding's message. We have received volumes from colored editors throughout the United States and nearly all of them are "wild" about Harding because he simply mentioned lynching in his message to congress. The editor of the Tribune is a young man, inexperienced in journalism and the ways of the world, but we fail to see any cause for great rejoicing over the statement made by our president. The statement is not defin- ite and lacks force. Woodrow Wilson, in his address to his fellow countrymen, said as much about lynching. The only difference is that the former's message was addressed to the congress and Mr. Wilson's was addressed to the people at large. We must admit that we are disappointed in the message of President Harding, notwithstanding the favorable comments of some of the most brilliant men of our race. Our view, no doubt, will place us in a class by ourselves, but we will not hold our peace and now that we have spoken the true sentiments of our heart, we pause for comment—favorable or otherwise. article on ceived favo sentative g was present very intere Newly Wed On last James of 1 hosts at a honor of M who are en SPECIAL ARTICLE ON CONFIDENCE AND CO-OPERATION (Continued from Page 1) stores. Do we wish to have our boys and girls bank clerks? Then we must go and establish these. Do we wish to have editors of newspapers? Then we must go and establish papers and lend them our moral and financial aid. Do we wish to have great business enterprises managed by ourselves? Then go and establish these. Treat these as we have treated our church and our lodge—stand by them, support them and feel that we are honored when we support and maintain them. No matter what form of activities we may follow, we should throw our patronage and influence to worthy business concerns conducted by the race, of the race and for the race. Every Negro bank should be filled with money from members of our group, just as banks conducted by other races are filled with the money of those races. Enterprises of all kinds should be supported by our money. Every doctor or professional man of whatever description must have the united support, morally and financially of each member of the race, just as other races support their professional men. And in this way we open up and provide employment for members of the race. This is the way we get something for our children to do. I can think of no valid reason why a colored man should not rejoice in the prosperity of colored men. If we had a few rich colored men and women among us wherever we are found, it would be better for the race, and the time would soon come when we would transmit to our children an inheritance of material wealth, thereby allowing them to become absolutely independent of all the people regardless of color. Yes, I repeat, let us be done with saying I am not going to make any colored man rich. In the name of Jehovah, will you tell me what would become of the white race, the Mexican race, the Jewish race or any other race if nine-tenths of the members stood around on the streets or sat in their homes and swore by heaven and earth, good or bad, that they were not going to make this or that white man, that Mexican, that Jew, or that German rich, and that they will never work for them? I do not know what you think about it, but I think the race honors itself when it supports a member of the race and helps him to rise to a position of high business standing, wealth and commanding influence. The race is doubly honored when it works for the race. A race is dishonored when it works for and makes rich any race except its own. What is true of a race is true of a nation. Americans will never work for and make rich—to their exclusion—Englishmen, Japs, Italians, Mexicans, or for that matter, any nation on earth. True Americans would wade in blood knee deep and suffer to be buried alive before they would do such a mean thing. Rather than have these sayings true that we will not work for ourselves and make ourselves rich, I had rather see the earth open and swallow 15,000,000 of us. These infamous sayings pauperize the race and make it the slave of all other races. No matter what may come to me or what may come to you, let us work for and make rich our own race. Let us do exactly what all races are doing and what we must do as a race if we desire to be other than slaves, peons, hewers of wood and drawers of water for other races. Rather than have this doctrine become the fixed and unchanging thought and action of the race, I would rather the whole universe go to nothing, if such a thing were possible. Rather than have this glittering dome of deceit and docility reared on the eternal abyss of prosperity, happiness and contentment, I would rather see the shining fabric of our universe crumble to unmeaning chaos and take itself/where oblivion broods and memory forgets. I would rather the blind Sampson of some imprisoned force; released by thoughtless chance, so rack and strain the world, that man in stress, astonishment and fear, should suddenly fall back to savagery and barbarity. I would rather that this thrilled and thrilling globe, shorn of all life in its cycles, stop the wheel, the parent star on which the light should fall as fruitlessly as falls the gaze of love on death, than to have these infamous sayings become the ruling and controlling thought of my race. If the black man's name is ever to be carved in the galaxy of fame, it must be placed there by black men. If my people have accomplished anything on the battlefield, in art, science or literature that is worth while, we must teach our children to look for it in histories written by our historians. It was through the intrepid valor of Toussaint L'Overture that France saw the value of black soldiers. It was from the lyrics of Paul Laurence Dunbar and the matchless oratory of Frederick Douglas, who harvested all the field of forensic thought, and after whom all others were imitators. He found the human intellect dwelling in a hut, touched it with the wand of his genius and eloquence and it became the storehouse of oratory. Through him, the white man has been made to read the deeper yearnings of the black man's soul. It was through the artistic brush of Henry Tanner that he was able to get the black man's conception of the "Raising of Lazarus," "The Bagpipe" and "The Resurrection." It is upon the God-given talent of members of the race that the world is listening today to hear the black man's song and the black man's prayers. If you would breathe the penetrative sense of duty at this hour; if you fully comprehend the anxious throb of our hearts, you must search for it not in the bosom of man, but in the consciousness of the fact that at God's altar, all men are free and equal. For nearly 150 years God has been trying to construct with the American people a government into whose hands he could entrust the reins of civilization. He confided his secret to Thomas Jefferson, and through the immortal Declaration of Independence, Jefferson demonstrated to the world the wisdom of justice and righteousness to all mankind. But the work of Jefferson, my friends, was insecure simply because the handiwork of the builders was inadequate to execute Divine Plans and Specifications. The illustrious Lincoln came down upon the scene. He saw the nation could not exist half slave and half free, and with prophetic eyes, turned toward heaven, he caught the wireless message of Jefferson from the skies, deciphered its code, constructed its meaning; and dipping his immortal pen into the cup of human blood, he inscribed indelibly upon the tablets of human thought, the Declaration that made the nation free. Blessings be upon the sainted Lincoln. The black man in America today is face to face with new problems. The stone that was once rejected has become one of the chief stones of the corner. Whether the opportunities and the blessings of freedom which we are enjoying today are from the source that we expected, is not the question. It is the answer to the prayers of our fathers who helped to purchase that sacred flag. The motor of justice in our national machinery has not been hitting properly. It is missing on some of its cylinders. God is simply pausing to readjust these inequalities. When the development of the individual becomes the paramount work of the Republic, when the spirit of universal brotherhood and civic righteousness pervades the entire nation, then will Jehovah's unerring time-piece strike the slow moving tranquil hour and the principles of World Democracy will become enthroned in the heart of all mankind. Let these contentions of confidence and co-operation become contagious. Let them become the all-absorbing and ever dominating desire and determination of black men and women everywhere. Teach this doctrine around the fireside, from the pulpit, in the lodge, on the highway and in our daily life and the time will not be far distant when we can stand on our feet, book the whole world in the face and demand a Freeman's Right.
