The statesman., 1905-07-21
A great chance to speak up.


equality which they don't mean and
We cannot accept and keep our self-re
spect. 1t is patronizing, pure and
simple. All we want is square deal,
and il We have the manhood TO de-
maad it, we will get it. We said last
fall that the great struggle would be
next year, and that seems more likely
daily. If We would receive decent
treatment then, We must earn it now.
We believe that the colored men
who led the lambs up to this slaugh-
ter by their activity last fall, were
honest. But if they would escape the
charge of being equally guilty of du-
plicity along with the white leaders,
they must go to the front and demand
fair treatment for their people. They
are the ones who can gi7e force to a
protest, they are the ones whose pre-
tensions at leadership calls for action.
Bunco Steering is an honorable voca-
tion compared with deluding the poor
Negroes into thinking that their sacri-
fees in politics will be amply repaid.
Far better is ii for them to keep out
OF the game entirely than to have such
shameful aad insulting treatment Civ
en- them as they are now receiving at
the hands of the county aud state re
publican organization. This is no
time for our leaders to oe silent. They
must either fight and shoot, or give
up the gun. The columns of this pa
per are at their disposal.
The statesman., 1905-07-21

at election, and most OF all consider
that this has been our record for
years, these janisorships seem piiiful.
When more recently by decision Of
the Supreme Court the democratic
county officials were replaced by re.
publicans, hope spraug once more in
to life, but only 10 be again disap-
pointed. Three janitorships were the
places assigned to colored voters.
One was offered A. j. Riley, who is a
we'll known republican worker and
was so far short OF his deserts and
what be asked for, that be refused it.
Another went TO Fred Armstrong.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to serve any one mans political great
ness, but the devotion which Arm
strong has shown TO the party makes
us take him as fair sample OF what
the white leaders think is good
enough for Negroes. Armstrong is
