SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

To the fair minded average
reader we need not tell him of
our race advancement, for the
public press, az prejudiced as they
have been, have told their readers
of young Rosco Conklin Bruce
receiving class honors at old Har-
ward at the last commencement
and young William H. Lewis
leading his class at Yale. who is
now U. S. district attorney tor
the southern district in Nassa-
chusetts. Only few days ago
VIM. Pickins, a student at Yale
from Little Rock, Ark, won the
annual Henry James Ten Eyck
$4,000 prize given for excellence in
public speaking, and only last
week Edward J. Marshall OF the
University Of Michigan won the
right to represent that state in
the interstate oratorical contest.
OF still more interest to us as
race was the selecting of Booker
T. Washington to be George
Washington's birthday orator at
Brooklyn Institute Of Arts and
science. His subject was:y;; "The
Educational and Industrial Eman-
cipation of the Negro" This
institute dates back to 1928, and
from its platform have spoken
such men as Agassiz Morse,
Guyot, McCash, Phillips, Sum
ner, Garrison, Emmerson and
Beecher. Surely these are signs
of progress.

lishing this week an interesting
contribution to the discussion of
the Negro problem. The title of
this volumn is, "The Souls Of

"The futility of double aim,"
"Of our spiritual strivings,"

AN EASTER ADDRESS
Judge e. r. Seeds Delivered
an Address in the Colored
Congregation Church at
Washington

Washington, d. e., April "a
Especial. )-Judge Edw. ?. Seeds,
Of Manchester. deputy auditor for
the var department, delivered an
Easter sermon today to the conRre-
CATION OF the First Congregational
church (colored) in this city. Judge
Seeds remarks were in the nature
OF IN address rather than > sermon,
aad were we'll received by the con
gregation. which represents. perhaps,
he most advanced class Of the coll
ored population In Washington.
Judge Seeds, among other things,
pointed out the responsibility that
rested upon the shoulders of the
highest type Of the Negro race in
America. This class had enjoyed
practically all the advantages with
in the grasp ofthe white man. They
possessed means, educational op.
por,unity and business chances.
Due allowance would be made for
the fact that previous generations
had not risen to the level of the
present type, and that heredisy must
be taken into aceount, but aside
from this consideration, the highest
class of colored people (of which
the audience addressed was a type),
enjoyed practically all the advan-
tages possessed by the white man.
aud the ability of the Negro to de-
velop along with the white man
would be judged by the use made of
the hes, class Of Negroes with their
present great opportunities.
ledge Seeds called the attentoin
of his audience to the faat that If
they succeeded in rerching a state
of civilization and enlightenment
and mental capacity substantially on
! level with that Of the white man,
that this accomplishment would nat.
urally form basis for calculation.
1t would be assumed that represen-
tatives Of the Negro race. under fav-
orable conditions having attained 10
such a high degree of moral, mental
and commercial development, that
this argued clearly that the race as a
whole possessed native qualifications
of similar character under similar
conditions. If, on the other hand,
the representatives Of the highest
type of the coiored race failed to
justify the expectations of those who
had claimed great things for them,
II furnished the opportunity, then
the deduction would be logical that
the Negro race could not measure
up to the highest standards CT human
enlightenment and mental develop
ment, and the effect would be to
the great disadvantage of the race in
the future.
