We are surprised to learn that after several days of soliciting and advertising for hands for the harvest fields, Negroes have been denied work on account of their not being white, chinamen dagoes, or greasers. It seems that anyone would be acceptable to these tools to gather their wheat except Negroes. On last Wednesday, June 27th, nine young colored men responded to the call of the Commercial Club, Labor Commissioner and others to rush to the harvest fields and save the millions of wheat which was liable to waste. A few of these young men are graduates of the high school, and of good families. Not thinking that they would be barred from earning a living because they belong to the Negro race, they made application to Major Anderson, who furnished them cheap rates to Pratt, Kans., where they found several farmers with teams to take hands out to work for them. When the colored boys made an effort to get jobs they were told that Negroes were not wanted, and they would give these boys nothing to do, nor any food; they had to get back home the best way they could. It's this class of mean, contemptible white men that is forever trying to block the progress of the Negro who wants to do something. They invariably tell others that it is hard to find a Negro who will work. We would like to see the vengeance of the Almighty Jehovah sent against those farmers who sent out over the country for harvest hands, and then refused men because they were colored. We wish that their wheat might turn to tares. The time is now at hand when no excuse should be rendered for the senseless prejudice of the white fools of America, who are everlastingly holding up the Negro question as a scare crow to hide their infamous outrages. There are too many churches and school houses, teachers and ministers to allow this prejudiced element of the whites. It is time to treat the Negro right. The white man has been free too long to be allowed to use such slender excuses. Open your avenues of labor and trades to the Negro. Pay him the same as others for the same work. If he won't work or give proper satisfaction, get one who will, and don't be forever ding-donging the whole race for a few trifling cases who won't work. God created the earth, the air and the water, and no Indian, white man, Negro or Chinaman had a thing to do with it. And it was created for all to live upon, and no man or set of men has a right to delegate unto themselves any particular spot or place for any particular person or race to dwell upon, and no one who has an ounce of brains or manhood will allow it to be done or abide by such wrong doing. It is getting so bad in this country that it is hard for Negroes to find a decent place to bury their dead. Some white people are scared to even have their bodies lie in the same cemetery with that of a Negro, and yet this same white person expects to meet this Negro in Heaven. Ho has gone so far as to tell the Negro to meet him there. Now is not this hypocrisy and deceit? My white brother, for God's sake, be fair somewhere on earth and be consistent with it. If one of these Negroes had the manhood and courage to back it up he would re- solve to buy a farm in that portion of Pratt where these devilish Negro hating whites live, and show them what a great man and how useful he could be in a community where 'gnorant and vicious whites live. Why, heathen China is not so bad as are portions of the United States. There are places where they don't want a Negro to live. Great Jehovah! Who can or will stand for these continued outrages? Let every fair minded person stand together on these vital issues and say "All men are free and equal before the laws and shall be protected by them." "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh comes; then shall be the gathering of the people." An Old Soldier Speaks His Opinion! With many cuss words and startling spelling, but with a picturesque expression, an old veteran back in Illinois, has applied to Vespasion Warner, commissioner of pensions for an increase in his pension. He writes: "Now, Mr. Commissioner, about this matter of my pension, you ma do just as you dam pleas. If you think luising one laig at the Wilderness in 1864 blotted out the record of a bullet thro the body at Antitum in 1862 and if you think the pension I've been getting is full pay for a set of busted insides that aint been in good running order for more en 20 year, an never will be this side of new gerusalem, al right. But I'm goin' to tell you between us that when the minie ball went thro me at Antitum it plaid hell with sum important part of my inhards, and plaid for keeps. It cut something all to flinders, I don't know whether it was my liver, my lungs or what, and your pet doktors don't seem to know as much about it as I do. The plane facts is that it broke up and busted me from heel to whiskers, and I got busted at Antitum before my laig was lost, and the record says so. Now I don't want to be sassy, I aint built that way. But, mr. Warner, if you expect to blossom out as vice president of these United States bi buckin against the honest klaim of an old veteran with one foot in the grave and the other dam near it, you're getting more hay than you'll have time to stack up. Youl make about as much at that game as the doktor general will by votoeing wooden laigs. "Respectfully yours with a dam good memory." CANON CITY, COL. Mrs. Willie Scales died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Amanda Johnson, on Thursday morning, June 21st. Her death was due to an unsuccessful operation. The deceased was born in Nashville, Tenn. At an early age she removed to Kansas with her mother, who was a widow; from there she went to Pueblo, where she was married to Mr. Soales, residing in Walsenburg until about three months ago she came to this city to visit her mother. Her mother, husband, stepfather, sister and niece were with her at the time of her death. She was a member of the 2nd M. E. church and a devout Christian. She was buried Thursday afternoon, in Lakeside Cemetery. Miasca Anna and Lonida Moore, and Will Thomas attended a party in Florence, on Saturday night, given by Miss Maggio White. I. Meredith, wife, and son Theodore, arrived in the city, to visit Mrs. Meredith's relatives, James Yeiser and wife, 421 Greenwood avenue. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1906 KNIGHTS OF TABOR MEET IN WICHITA Fourteenth Annual Session Will Be Held July 10---It's a Prosperous Order With a Bulging Bank Account and Good Property. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor will convene in their Fourteenth Annual Session at Wichita, Tuesday, July 10. This will be one of the best and most profitable sessions in the history of the organization. They have grown to be one of the strongest orders in the West, and they have over forty eight lodges in the state consisting of Temples, Tabernacles and Tents. The Temple is where the brethren meet, the Tabernacle for the sisters and the Tents for the children. In the Tent House is where the Knights have an advantage over any other secret order in this country because they look after the children as a shepherd over his flock by night, and when they grow older they are either taken into the Temple or Tabernacle to continue SIR THE MONTHLY MAIL the good work of the order in which they have been taught to love and respect all that is noble and good. When occasion arises, a joint session of the Temple and Tabernacle is held to discuss matters of interest to all. towards buying hall and today they ownings and a beautiful are teaching an ever to those who are com Tent Houses All secret orders The grand body is composed of members of both the Temple and Tabernacle and the presiding officers of the Tent Houses. These representatives meet once each year at an appointed place in Grand Session where laws are enacted and the reports and general business for the past year is reviewed and new officers elected. The laws enacted at these sessions govern the Temples, Tabernacles and Tent Houses of the Kansas Nebraska jurisdiction. The Chief Grand Mentor is Rev. VERNON AT W VERNON AT WILBERFORCE At the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary and golden jubilee of Wilberforce University at Xenia, Ohio, Wm. T. Vernon, Registrar of the U. S. Treasury, upon special invitation was present and spoke as follows: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:—It gives me great pleasure Sir Frank Wilson who has presided for years from the fact that his dealing with all mankind whether in or out of the order has been honest and fair. He has lived to see a Grand Body organized and grow from a handful of members after drawing out from Missouri to nearly two thousand; when they could scarcely bury a member to giving almost a hundred dollars and a first-class burial. During the past year they paid over thirty death claims amounting to several thousand dollars, besides a large sum spent in caring for the sick. This is the only secret order of any note whose secret work was written by a Negro. Moses Dickson of St. Louis, a Negro was the founder. It was the first secret order to take the initiative step 1. towards buying halls, parks, etc., and today they own several buildings and a beautiful park. They are teaching an everlasting lesson to those who are coming up in the Tent Houses. All secret orders will be judged by the progress they make both in the moral and financial world. There is no way for this order to fail with its thousands of dollars worth of valuable property and a bulging bank account. Miss Sarah Williams, the efficient recording secretary of the order, who has served in this capacity for years will be in line for congratulations at the coming Grand Session. She has recently married and is now enjoying her honeymoon. to appear here today and speak as one hearing a message of good cheer, hope and encouragement from the great leader of the nation, your friend, my friend, the friend of all men who strive to make life worth the living----President Theodore Roosevelt. This is a great occasion. It marks the fiftieth year of progress of this great institution, replete with memories of Payne, Mitchell, Shorter and other pioneers now passed beyond, but who left us lives of consecration and good deeds, culminating in this glorious harvest of usefulness and blessing to the race. As one honored by President Theodore Roosevelt—President of these United States, who thus gives to our church great recognition, and thus bids the humblest of my race to aspire, I come and bring to you his message, expressive of his interest in our welfare. He bade me say to you, that he hoped for you all that you desired in this Jubilee Celebration and wished you all the greatest possible success. He assured that every blessing and success, which comes to us, is pleasing to him—that our prosperity as a race is to this great man a pleasure and a source of gratification, and the doctrine of the "square is", and justice to all men is saving its nearest fulfillment in the courts, which he to day is making for all the people of America in every hour of his splendid Administration of remarkable achievements. This occasion argues well for Wilberforce University. On this platform are leaders in Church and State, who have come to pay homage to this cause of education. Should I enlarge upon any one statement, I would say that so urgent are her demands, so benificent her results, so glorious her achievements, that men delight to honor education as the great uplifting, saving influence of the earth. The savage and the scholar, the follower and the leader, the chattering jargon or the poet's dream song, the idle, wasteful hand, the useful, skilled service, all, all measure their difference by the one word—education. All our education must have one purpose—the preparation of the recipient for useful service to his fellow men. To be properly educated is to comprehend one's rights, and at the same time to understand that one's duties are correspondingly great, and that as we deserve rights we shall receive them. This demand for rights will be more readily granted when made by worth as well as by word. We each owe it to the world to labor for a better era, when righteousness and truth shall hold away among men. I observe that the greatest efforts for reform socially are those movements tending to the betterment of the oppressed peoples of the earth, have come from efforts to put in force the teachings of Ilim, who died to make men holy. To work, then, to this end is to educate men to the higher and nobler ends of life. The supposition that laws externally applied, can rectify all human illis is erroneous. Laws can be made repressive for the criminally inclined, but nothing can be substituted for the creation within of a clean heart, the lifting of a soul out of the quagmire of low thoughts and vicious aims. For this reason, men are laboring to conform the minds of men to the better and higher things of life. We are learning that men can only be made wise and strong, from internal causes, working outward, from which an awakened conscience arouses to the duties before one. The awakening of mankind to duties and rights as well, is an omen of good cheer to all who love their fellow men. These two are but complements of each other. It is the duty of man to man, of race to race and nation to nation in civic affairs which have a sure result in the enlarging of rights, the performance of duties, the perfecting of fellowship. The preachment of CONTINUED ON PAGE 4. NUMBER 27. THE NEW STATE IN SHAME! Negro is Burned at the Stake The Colored People are Preparing to Aveng the Wrong. A recent State Capital special from Purcell, I. T., states that intense excitement is prevalent following the report that the Negroes of Womack have armed themselves with the intention of shooting members of the mob that burned Will Davis, a Negro, for assaulting the fourteen year old daughter of Ira Robertson, a prominent farmer, near Womack. Heavily armed posses of business men and farmers left Norman. Noble and Purcell for Womack. Three leaders of the mob of white men are declared to have been marked for assassination and further trouble of serious character is hourly expected. Judge Dickerson of Chickasha has announced that he will immediately empanel a special grand jury to investigate the murder of Brown, We are glad to learn that a few Negroes in the new state have courage enough to uphold the law. The best way is to exterminate the leaders of mobs, and especially those who burn human bodies for sport and pastime. It is not only the duty of the Negroes to mark the leaders for assassination, but the loyal whites ought to join in or take the lead in exterminating them. There ought to be no secret made about assassinating the leaders of these mobs. The law-abiding people ought to assemble together and shoot them down like so many dogs. No mercy ought to be shown such brutes; they ought to be dealt with in the same manner as they dealt with the prisoner. Go ahead, colored men, don't allow these outlaws to start these outrages in the new state. They have disgraced the name of the new state before she doffs her swaddling clothes. Negroes, get guns and protect your lives, your families, your homes and your property. If the officers won't, you can and must. Mark the culprits, and the first chance you get, send them to their eternal home, where the devil and his angels will welcome the coming of their brothren, for they are of the devil and his host. This way of lynching and burning Negroes must be stopped, and the Negroes must make the first effort to stop it. You never hear of a white man being burned no matter how heinous a crime he commits. Let all people who believe in fair play join together and put down all criminals, whether they be black or white. All rapists, lynchers, murderers, liars and thieves have no place in a good government. One Negro Runs 15,000 White People! A recent dispaten to the Chicago Tribune, from Madison, Wis., says at least 15,000 people spent yesterday outside of Madison because of a superstitious fear of the destruction of the city as predicted last week by a Negro exhorter, who said the waters of Laken Mendota and Monona would rise up and engulf the city because of its wickedness. The erhorter called himself Professor Jones. The prophecy was the tall if the city for several days and Miss of timid people withdrew the first thiosits from the banks and left an. Hundreds crossed the lakes to pleasure parks and the railroads had to put on extra coaches to accommodate the outward rush. One man rushed a house boat to completion and with his family occupied it. University professors and ministers sought to allay the fear through the newspapers, but they failed. Most of the frightened people returned to the city by the following day. The last two weeks have been good growing weather for the late crops. The rains came a little late for the small grain generally. There are some good stands as well as bad ones in the county. Mr. Lillott Hands started the harvesting ball rolling by having some rye cut a few days ago. Mr. Chip. Bradshaw was down from Topkha a few days last week.

For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or our house, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x12 space will hold a big wagon load safely. The real cold weather sets in we hash u a bushelful with an old are and feed them to the laying hens. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make our hens lay.

We make a specialty of Book Printing and would be pleased to figure on your Next job. The real estate firm of Charles A. Wilson has a new adv in THE PLAIN DEALER this week. This firm is building up one of the largest lists of farms for sale in the West and is adding new customers daily. Those who are in the market for a farm or ranch business will do well to write him at once. Their plan is new and is one of the best so far proposed for bringing buyer and seller together, being based upon the theory that where one man wants to sell there is sure to be another who wants to buy. The problem is to bring the buyer and seller together and this can be done by advertising the many farms and properties for sale in papers and in circulars. Our readers are urged to write this firm if they want to buy or sell a farm and get the plan for closing the deal. These plans are simple and direct and so inexpensive that they must surely appeal to anyone who wants to buy or sell. See adv. in this issue, and write Chas. A. Wilson, for list, 415 Kansas avenue. Topeka. Kans. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous ignition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there, for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron, shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. Whe leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remain ing confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

GIVE US A CHANCE! The progressive young Negro only needs a chance as may be seen by the action of some white boys in Nashville, Tenn. The St. Louis Post Dispatch in speaking of the matter says: "When the First National Bank building on the corner of Church street and Fourth avenue, in the city of Nashville, Tenn.. was opened for business, the management employed white boys exclusively to run the high speed, latest improved passenger elevators These boys were continued in the employment of the company until this week when they were replaced by four colored boys. The white boys proved themselves so inefficient, so ready to lay off from work on the slightest pretext, that the management was forced to get rid of them. The four young men of our race who will take the place of the fired white boys are worthy youngsters and it is thought their services will prove entirely satisfactory." We hope the time will soon come when our people will stop trusting their business into the hands of the white man. There are men of our own race who can attend to it; let them do it.

Tired Nervous When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vitality is low—your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power. The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and instead of throwing off the impurities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to a recent attack of epilepsy fever, but after her recovery from the fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceedingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a good night's rest. She also suffered much from nervous headaches. Dr. Miles' Nervine has become covered by headaches. After the three doses she had a good night's rest, and at the end of the first week's treatment she was wonderfully improved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure." 1021 Cherry St., Evansville, Ind. Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.

JCK THE BALL GAME The big Base Ball game was played last Sunday, July 1, between the Coal Miners, from Osage County, and Jack Johnson's Giants, and if you judged the Giants by their color you would think they were all coal miners too, and had just come out of the pit. Anyway, the game was interesting. At first they had a little fellow standing in the middle of the ball ground and he kept saying something, but no one could tell what he said. Green Watson, over on the bench, would frown, and then Jack Johnson would walk up to the little fellow and talk a while; then, they would all go to playing ball again. So, after a while the little fellow went over and jumped over the fence. Then, they brought out a big fellow, and he stood in the same place that the little fellow did, and he kept holding up two fingers. Well, I thought the little fellow got tired standing out there, so someone told me that they fired the little fellow because he would not stick his fingers up. Norman would throw a ball like he was mad and when the big fellow in the middle of the ball ground would say something that would make Lal Bailey roar, then he would show his teeth and look glad. Someone said that Norman was in the box but I could not see any box. He would throw the ball as hard as he could at one of the Osage boys, who would either have to dodge it, or hit it with a club to keep it from knocking him down. Then, the Osage boy would throw down the club and run over toward McAdon, who was down in the southeast corner of the ground. Then, the big fellow in the middle of the ground would stick up his fingers. I guess that meant for the Osage boy to go and sit down in the shade. Anyway, that is what he did. Then, the crowd in the grand stand would raise the roof. The Osage boys seemed to have some friends in the grand-stand rooters, as Frank Irvin called them, though I don't know why he called them rooters for there were some very nice looking men among them. One of the Osage boys was running around the square and when he got almost back to where he started from his head and body got too fast for his feet, and he fell forward on his face and one of the Gaints standing there punched him on the head. Then the big fellow who stood in the middle of the ball ground, stuck up three fingers and hollered "out." Then the Giants just danced and hollered, and the rooters in the grand just nearly raised the roof. Again, twice when one of the Osage boys, I don't know what his name was, but I believa they called him "Hooky," would run down to the first base and the big fellow in the middle of the ball ground would motion him away with one wave of his mighty hand. It looked like Dreschel would have to hire a new clerk Monday morning. Some lady who sat near me kept putting down some funny marks on a piece of card board, and the men around her would ask her how the score stood. Some would call her "Gurte," though her real name is Gertrude. I don't know why they called her "Gurte" unless it was too hot to say Gertrude. Once when there was two men on the bases and James Mothel came to the bat, everybody said, here will be two more runs for little Jimmy will make a two base hit and bring those two men in. But the first ball got by Jimmy before he saw it and the big fellow in the middle of the ground hollered strike! and stuck up one finger. Hookey kept throwing the ball at Jimmy, so pretty soon he hit at the ball once or twice, but the fellow standing behind Jimmy would reach out his hand and get the ball before Jimmy could hit it. The big fellow out in the middle of ground said strike! and put up three fingers. Then Jimmy tried to break the bat on the ground. Everything was just going fine and we were having a good time, when Smith came running to the home plate and the Osage coal miner got the ball and punched him in the ribs; then everybody hollered, jumped up and ran out and caught the car for up town. Well! the game was a very good game. Somebody said the Giants could have won the game if they had played more ball and less. I thought they played good ball all the way through. The score at the end of the game stood; Giants, 2. Osage City, 1. Zanditon is the man who has your interest atheut.

CURTIS, Clerk. First published April 20th, '06. NOTICE. To the colored people of Georgia. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other southern states. We are in receipt of a communication from Mr. W. G. Byrd, 675 Hood St., Portland, Ore., who says that excellent opportunities are now offered for progressive colored men and women who wish to Improve their opportunities. There is great demand for them, as the white people of that section of the country are getting tired of Japs and Chinamen; they do not want anything but progressive and industrious colored men and women. No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigidly enforced. It strikes us very forcibly that the colored people of these states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seldom, if ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business. Take advantage of this opportunity and scatter over the great West. NOTICE. To the Teachers and others interested: Knowing that the schools have closed in many places and that the teachers have changed their post-offices during vacation, I take this method of communicating with them. "What the Graduates of Lincoln Institute are Doing," the book which I have finished, will be in the express office here on or before June 1st.

It is handsomely bound and printed on good enamel paper which gives the eats a good showing. The introduction is written by the State Superintendent of Education, Hon. W. T. Carringto. The better way will be to send the money to me by registered letter and your return card will be a receipt for the money, signeo by me. Yours very truly, J. S. MOTEN. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

Ringswald, who remained Ellen Ringswald, after having been divorced from her, has filed suit for a divorce on the ground that he has discovered that she has African blood in her veins. Miss. Ringswald's defense is that she may not be white, but she is "neither Negro nor a mulatto." Her plea is based on Bouvier's definition of a Negro, which says that a Negro is "a black man." He says that it has been distinctly held that the term does not include a mulatto. Ringswald's attorneys will quote from the Standard dictionary that "a Negro is a person having one-sixteenth or more of African blood. --- Blind Headache "About a year ago," writes Mrs. Mattle Allen, of 1123 Broadway, Augusta, Ga., "I suffered with blind, sick headaches and backaches, and could get no relief until I tried WINE OF CARDUI Woman's Relief commenced to improve, and are a new woman, and wish to it to all sick women, for I will cure them, as it did me." is pure, medicinal extract of table herbs, which relieves male pains, regulates female functions, tones up the organs to a proper state of health.

All oyes are upon the Indian Territory More money is going to be made in the Indian Territory in the next few years than in any section of the country. In no section of the country has the Negro region with such rapidity to financial imminence. BOLKY The exclusive Nagio town of the territory, offers exceptional opporas to location and general resources to Negro farmers, orchardists, stock raisers and inventors.

For further information address The Boley Business Mens' Club, Boley, Indian Territory of the higher type is for this purpose. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, were each born with a mission to give, preserve and develop a nation. Up to this task of world uplift, following the inspiring lives and teachings of these great men must come that mighty army of educated men and women, who shall stand for all the ideals fought out and wrought out by these. Such as these prepare the world to accept the best at its true value, make opportunity for the deserving and provide careers of usefulness or all their worthy fellows. That their efforts may not prove abortive educators must be at work, preparing our youth—the sovereign hoste of a giant republic—for their task. The difference in races that affect the social affairs of the elements of American life, must not prevent a unified purpose in the efforts put forward for the progress of our common country. "Americans are we," must be the motto of our youth, and only by being educated, worthy Americans, can we measure up to the demands of these times. Then, let this Institution go on in its great work of helpfulness and man-moulding for the Negro youth. Let true principles be taught them, that shall stand the test inevitable, when they reach the outer world. And, what shall these things be? They must understand that consecrated service, whether in the lowly ways or in the higher walks of life is the need of this and every age. They must know that no individual, no race, no nation can survive whose idea of true life is not service for one's fellow man. The doing of the work of today with the realization of a necessarily expanding duty tomorrow, must be the view point of the youth of this race. Are we honest? Are we proficient? Are we worthy? These are questions men must ask and affirmatively answer for the Negro. Cleverness without goodness is an invitation to defeat. The Eternal hand never points the wrong way. God has enough good people on earth to see to it that a righteous man succeeds. The great men of earth are those born with a mission, The Peoples' Cafe PENMAN & WILSON, PROPRIETORS.

When this race has learned that gold not drows, true merit not demerit, ability not inability, right not wrong, justice not injustice, great purposes, not ignoble desires,—in short, when we learn that the standard of the Aryan of the higher type in this twentieth century civilization is that which makes men great—then, emerge we more and more from obscurity, and assume that greatness which cometh to all who deserve the same. This age is the outgrowth of all past efforts to be great. Civilization, an epitome of the ages dead, sweeps before man. He sees before him mighty possibilities and unparalleled demands. Are we equal, are we worthy, are we ready for these times? Young men, 'tis with you. Young woman 'tis all with you. Let us each by proficiency and merit deserve and win the support and respect of all our fellow men. Let us stand for the better things of life in this day of strenuous demands. Let us measure up to that expected of the noble and true, not by vain glorious boasting or selfassertion, but by intrinsic merit. We shall thus help forward the day of glorious achievement for a race, which, as generations come and go, shall do the work that Providence ordains in the divine economy of creation, and help forward the day of highest possibilities for the races of the earth. Believe me when I say that proper education will enable the race to meet all demands, to stand any crucial test, carry him to the fore, lift him out of the depths despite untowardness and suffering, and there will finally exist a Negro, living a great life, thinking great thoughts, doing great things as an appreciated and potent factor in the mighty American Republic.
