The Red Cross Medical Association has
started solicitors out for the purpose of Sc
curing members. 1t is generally conceded
that very few people will let the opportu-
nifty of being among the first TO become a
member go by The cost of 70 cents per
spell of sickness or an accident the bene-
fits are such that no person can afford to
be without a membership card serious
illness or an accident may take the earn
ings of many hard weeks work, but under
the plan of the Red Cross Medical asso-

If a person holding membership card
in this association be sick or disabled
they may call on any association physi-
clan and he will give the medical atten-

STANDS FOR EQUALITY OF MEN

We recommend to the special atten-
ton of every Afro-American voter in
the United States, the following ex-
tract from the speech of Hon. VIM.
R. Moody, delivered to the Massachu-
sets Republican state Convention.
Mr.. Moody being the Attorney Gener--
al of the United States, the pledges
implied in the extract are as authori-
tative as if they were the utterances
Of the President himself:
We expect victory because our lead
err, through his declarations and acts,
stands more clearly for the principle
law than any man Of our time. The
belief in this principle is interviewer
with every fibre of his being, 1T was
born with him and it will die only
when he dies. He has acted steadfast-
ly on his belief. when the political
clear, in storm as we'll as in sunshine
He has made no political trades with
capitalists or with workingmen. with
the corporation or with the trades
union. He has not Disseminated for
or against any man because of his race
or color. but has judged him solely by
his conduct.
In obedience to this principle he de-
fed a deep race prejudice, when he de-
clared that a woman who had been a
faithful public servant should not be
driven from her office by violence or
threats because she was black. Deep
CT than all other issues and more po-
tent than them all in Influencing the
future of this republic is the question
whether you will condemn the man
who staS>.s by profession and acts for
this high ideal. -. y,@$4

SAVED THE. UNION
PRES. ROOSEVELT LAUDs VALoR
or AFRo-AMERIcAN SOLDIERS:
"The Afro-American Soldier has the
Faculty of Coming to the Front
When He is Needed Most He is
First Class Fight ing Man."

In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt
was Governor of New York, he was
interviewed about the Afro-American
soldier and this is what he said: II
know of the character and bravery
of the Afro-American soldier. He
saved my life at Santiago, and I have
had occasion to say so in many arti-
cles and speeches. The Rough Riders
were in a bad position when the Ninth
and Tenth cavalry came rushing up
the hill carrying everything before
them.
1.-THE Afro-American soldier has the
faculty of coming to the front when
he is needed most. In the Civil war
he came 100000 strong. and I believe
he saved the Union. He has done ex-
cellent work in all of the Indian cam
paigns, and while l was in the West,
l had number of opportunities of wit
Messing his wonderful work. He
saved massacre of the Seventh in
$780,"
AT San Juan hill the Afro-Ameri-
can soldiers rendered an object lesson
to all of the soldiers assembled there.
They sung and fought and pushed the
laggard troopers up the hill and the
great. victory at that point was theirs
as much if not more than any of the
soldiers there

THE RACE AND AMENDMENTS.

"The Negro knows nothing about
the amendments and cares nothing
for the amendments, says Mr.
Graves "Prodigious;" we reply
The amendments are subjects of con.
slant discussion in the three hundred
Afro-American newspapers. T he
are the basis of suits without number
instituted by Afro-Americans, and are
frequently referred to by the Afro
American preachers W h m M r.
Graves condemns SO strenuously and
abhors so bitterly. Perhaps one rea-
son why Mr.. Graves preachments
have so little effect is because he as
serts so 'recklessly what every intelli-
gent person knows to be false in uno
and in omnibus.

the Supreme Court the duty of deter

MR.. scHURz AND HIS RHETORIC

Every time that national election
is pending, Hon. Carl eSchurz comes
to the front with an elaborate dress
ed dish of Rhetoric: which he offers
to the people. Mr. SchurZ knows that
the people have no idea as to where
he will turn up upon such an occa-
sion, and imagines that there is gen.
eral and intense curiosity to find out:
He presents a dainty dish fit to set
before a king, so far as the Rhetoric
is concerned, but the usual result is
nothing. People read it with more
or less curiosity and forget it with
less or more facility generally, the
latter. For certain reasons, no man
with the talent of Mr.. Schurz, has less
potentially with the masses. They
have very little, if any confidence in
the correctness of his judgment, or in
the sincerity Of what he projects into
public view as his convictions. He
is unco good; too much so, for his
own success.
