The Pan African Association, through |
its executive, greets the members OF

desires at the dawn OF the Twentieth |
Century to call their attention TO Is
aims and objects, as formulated by a |
conference consisting Of prominent |
members Of the African race assem- bled |
from al parts Of the gil be III L9udOp
during the m nth of July, 1900 ard
which form its raisOn d'etre.
The obi cts of this association are:
(D To secure III Africans and their de
sceD dants throughout the world their
civil and political rights; ~ To anne 10
rate the condition of our oppressed
brethren IN the continents OF Africa,
America, and other parta Of the world,
by promoting efforts to secure effective
legislation; (3) To encourage our people
IN educational, Industrial and COM
merciaI enterprises; a. TOfOster friend
| ly relations between the Caucasian and
African races; (5) To organize bu
reeu as adepository for collections OF
authorized productions, writings and
statistics relating TO our people every
where; (6) To rsse fund to be used
solely for the forwarding Of the above
objects.
We fully recognize and note the es-
timabIe efforts of Europeans and Ameri
cans in the past century, and especially
the success resulting therefrom in the
latter part OF the same, which has, In
word, placed us upon the platform OF
freedom, with the consequent response

m ankind.
| 1t behOoves US to realize this and to
occupy our position as real factors and
producers in the progress Of civilization.
We have likewise notice with marked d
satisfaction the attachments and as
piratiOns of the race in British Colo

and are sanguine of the future. Blu
there are instances Of retrOgTeesion il

will demand alertness in every sphere

This association desires the race to

Placed as we are, and having tt
recognition Of the authorities, muc

According to the Washington Times
the hat of the modern American is a
more or less direct descendant from the
ancient helmet. The shape of derby
could have been evolved from nothing
else, and it has little save tradition to
recommend it. 1t is not beautiful or
comfortable, as compared with the
COWBOYS soft felt hat or the cap of
the European peasant. 1t does not
keep the ears warm. nor stay on with
any degree of success; and it goes out
of fashion every season, reappearing
later in a slightly different form, It's
sole recommendation is the tradition
that it is the proper headgear for civ
ilized and enlightened man; and when
it is cooked on one side on the head Of
a rowdy it does not make him look
either civilized or cultured.
