ADDRESS TO OUR COUNTRY THE NATIONAL NEGRO-AMERICAN POLITICAL LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, SENDS GREETINGS TO THEIR FELLOW-CITIZENS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. As a people: we are facing a serious political crisis, and it is time for us to be alert to resist injury and to grasp advantages. Our civil and political rights, contrary to the fundamental law of the nation, have been ruthlessly taken from us in the South land. A new slavery has arisen in that section in the form of peonage, which is almost as vicious as the old slavery. The army record of our soldiers, unsullied for a hundred years, and of which every Negro is proud has been disregarded and 167 brave soldiers have been arbitrarily dismissed from the service without honor and without trial. As citizen of the Republic we come back to Philadelphia, the Cradle of Liberty, to try to generate a sentiment that will clasp into unity the scattered force of the Nation that are trying to beat back the rising tide of contempt for the Constitution. We come to issue another Declaration of Independence. The spirit which brings us together here in the City of Philadelphia in 1908 is the same spirit which brought the singers of the Declaration of Independence here in 1776. If taxation without representation was unjust in the days of Patrick Henry, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, taxation without representation is unjust now. If it was wrong to condemn and punish men without trial then, it is wrog now. If it was true in those days that all men were born free and essentially equal in human attributes and possibilities it is true now. Class distinctions are just as invidious now as they were when brave little America struck for her freedom. Tyranny has not lost one iota of its hate fulness and men will still sacrifice their property, their honor, their lives, their all, that the cause of liberty might live and that their children might be free. We are fighting laws and executive rulings that discriminate against a man because of his race or color. We are fighting the sentiment that apologizes for or justifies such laws and rulings. We ought to be able to count on every Negro leader with a spark of self-assertion in him in America for support. We are in the midst of a perilous crisis and the Negro who does not come forward and call for justice for his people at this time is a soulless, unimaginative creature whom no crisis would arouse and no duty inspire. We have had enough of the dreary drip of doleful declamation about the Republican party freeing us. We have long ago paid them with interest the debt we owed them. We have come to the years of manhood as a people. Hereafter let it be understood we will support the Republic can party when it puts up fit can didates. We will not support any man who justifies or apologizes for Southern disfranchisement. It is right that we use our ballot as a weapon of pro- tection. The deeper the researches of history are pushed, the more irresistibly emerges the broad conclusion that the world respects a man or a race that cannot be imposed upon with impunity. He who scrapes andkowtows to please his unreasonable neighbors will forever be regarded by his neighbors at the lackey and the lick-spittle that he is. Some say that if we do cur duty our rights will come to us. A lie with less justification in history was never told. In a Republic rights are not ornamental not unnecessary, not subsidiary, in the march of progress. We must have our rights before we can as citizens do our duty. In America self-respect is sustained by being kept on a plane civilly and politically with all other citizens. Secretary Taft sees a turn for the better in our Southern disfranchisement laws. He has justified President Roosevelt's rash outrage in discharging our soldiers without honor and without trial. Our Southern disfranchisement laws are bad—all of them. There is not one single praise worthy section in any of them. They disfranchise 95 per cent of the colored race in the South regardless of qualifications. They are all pernicious in principle and mischievous in operation; and ought to be condemned without mercy or quibble. To make stealing legal does not make stealing moral, as Mr. Taft seems to think, and the man hasn't sound national ideas who look at things in this way. For these reasons we cannot support President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft if either one gets the nomination; for we see little difference between a democratic nominee and a republican nominee of an administration in open alliance with our enemies. We heartily endorse the candidacy of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker for the presidency. He is a brave, true-hearted American citizen whom the American people would do well to honor by making him their chief executive He is the Negro's friend and he is the man best suited to conceive and execute a policy to preserve our free institutions. If Senator Foraker quits the race, which we hope will not happen, we will support any other genuine Republican who has not shown himself inimical to our rights. We demand that our soldiers be reinstated in the army and restored to their ranks without pred justice and without loss. To the end of the chapter we are going to fight the men who are responsible for their discharge. We want Congress to pass the Foraker Soldier Bill. We want the electoral tyranny of the white south dragged from its palsied hands. We will fight anybody who apologizes for or justifies Southern disfranchisement. We want to smash Jim Crow Cars. If we cannot smash them we will undertake to smash the UMENTS! PROPOSITION IN THE MONU- MENT LINE AT INEN'S s and a Large Stock to Select from- NER OHIO AND PACIFIC Sts. MONUMENTS!

Main St., SEDALIA, MD --- party which being in power, tolerates them. We want the Negro boss-shop which deprecates progressive movements among Negroes overturned; and we are against any administration that encourages and gives influence to svcophancy in order to crush out self-assertion in the Negro Race. We want to see a strong Republican Party built up in the South, but we are unalterably opposed to "Lily Writism," as a means to that end. The men who have been staiwart and loyal republicans for a half century at great risk and sacrifice ought not to be brushed aside to encourage the "Lily-White" movement. We protest the seating of delegates in the National Republican Convention elected by conventions which drew the color line. We demand that peonage be wiped out in the South. We beg to call the attention of the Republican Congress to the fact that the black man in the South is a peon as well as the foreigner and we feel that we are at least entitled to as much consideration as the man who has only recently come to our shores. We oppose the policy of a president dictating his successor in office, and the domination of the judicial and legislative branches of the government by the Executive. We must insist that no alliance be made in this campaign save an alliance of freedom and equality and no peace that does not rest on the safe and permanent basis of equal and exact justice between man and man. We want all that belongs to full-fledged American citizens. We are in earnest. We can not be bull.dozed. We can not be bought off. And under God, we will be heard!

His life was short, though true, On this terrestrial ball; He always tried his best to do Just what would comfort all. His life was not a selfish one, As many chance to live; His manly deeds victories won, With much advice to give. In society he was a type Of manhood brave and true; The race's blot he sought to wipe With his unselfish view. A loving wife is left to shed Full many a skill of tears; And the memory of the sacred dead Will last its length in years. A city mourns the loss of him; The Pythians feel it more. Calantheans bear the loss with them In sympathy galore. His soul has entered into rest— Rest by a Savior given; 'Twas-but a peaceful solemnness, A call from earth to heaven. The lodge has lost a gem, A gem to mortals given. Long will the memory dwell with them That his spirit dwells in heaven. —(Miss) DAYSE F.

Vernon recently called to his office, and it is rumored, paid all expenses including rail-road fare and hotel bills, a few of the more rapid opponents of the Roosvelt-Taft program throughout the middle West including several newspaper men and leading politicians. Since this eventful visit to Registrar Vernon a Negro paper in Chicago, one in Topeka, Kas., and another in Omaha, Neb. have experienced such remarkable change in attitude toward the Taft presidential boom that suspicion is aroused as to the all powerful in- V.

Up until the tast few issues these papers have fairly smoked with viril seemingly imported direct from the lower regions for the special use of these great race defenders against Roosevelt, Tatt and Warner, whom they charged with being responsible for the greatest injustice ever perpetrated upon a patriotic race of people. Certainly the public can see no cause for this abrupt and unseeming change of heart on the part of these Negro editors and is naturally prone to regard either their former or present attitude as insincere and largely influenced by motives other than a painful desire to defend the much abused race.
