The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1906-12-29

Slavery never knew the difference be-
tween white and black; it only means
that some were mighty and strong
and some one else was weak and the
mighty and strong set the weak to
work that they might live In ease;
that's all il ever meant You have
been slaves; and let me say again
YOU make a mistake when you say its
the color of your skin; that hasn't
anything to do with it. l have seen
a lot Of white people who would seem
To me would look better il they were
darker and suppose a shade OF white
may here or there help out a dark
person; but red or blue. or orange
might be prettier than either of those.
These are questions of taste and you
are not despised b. cause your skin is
black; that isn't it. Its because the
badge OF slavery is on you; that's
the reason. You have just come up
from chattel slavery and the world
hasn't got used to your taking any
ether place. Hear the orthodox
sOutherner tell how he loves his black
nanny: of course he does; he loves
her as he does mutton. (Applause).
and for just the same reason; he
doesn't hate the Negro; all he wants
is for the Negro to keep his place.
Do you suppose that If a solemn
agreement were entered into to-mor-
row that they know could De carried
out for every Negro to leave every
state south of the Mason & Dixon
line. do you suppose the South would
let them go? II the whites let them

Like all other questions of justice and |
Injustice there's SO much hypocricv |

less you do it? Nobody else wants
to do it. And / don't blame them
for that; work is hard business.
That is the reason l blame Booker
T. Washington and the rest of his
crowd who would simply teach Won
how to work. (Applause). What the
Colored man needs it not to learn how
to work but to learn how to get along
without work. (Applause). That NAV
not sound very sensible but IL is
Every man in this world is respected
not for the work he does but for the
lnanng he does, for getting out of
work. For God sake haven't the Ne
groes worked enough? If it was work
that made people respected you would
DE the most respected people on the
face OF the earth to-day. Its because
sou haven't done anything but work
NOW, OF course, a Colored bow that
mas nothing to get from his work NAV
not move quite as fast as some white
fellow who is after a dollar. but he
gets along pretty well at that The
Colored people have done nothing but
work Just the same as horses: they're
not respected for it So long as men
are content to work nobody will find
fauit with them but the white man
DOESN'T like to work. Does Ben. Till
man ever do any work? He makes
speeches. 1t isn't to learn to work.
that Isn't the question; the working
man has learned that long ago. II
Isn't the color Of the skin, as was
going to say. A few years ago we
had some East India people over In
this country; they were a good deal
hlacker than most Of you people are
here; a great deal blacker and they
were the rage Of the drawing rooms
In Chicago and America. Nobody OBJ

there any difference in the feeling
of the mob when they tie black man
to the stake down in Mississippi or
when they do IL in Ohio, which was
once almost the home Of liberty? 1t
may be more intense there than it is
here but We are learning and We are
learning fast in these days of tele-
graphs and newspapers and railroads
it. is not very far from Georgia u
Chicago and a whole lot of our mer-
chants sell goods down in Georgia and
commerce binds our people together
a good deal tighter than anything
else does, because after all when dol
lars come in all other sentiments 60
out.
Still more deplOrable than all of
this, which l will speak to you a lit
tie later. Perhaps it isn't pleasant
fol an audience of this sort to listen
to it, deplorable as it is, that thu
whites all over the United States have
forgotten all the precepts of liberty
and have practically denied the blacks
any rights. What is the right to vote?
Most anybody can do that What is
IL il you haven't the right to life, II
make living; If you haven't the so
cial equality; il you are not a man
or are not a woman; or IL you are to
be Disseminated against and disting-
uished because Of your color? The
ballot cuts little figure in all of that:
but more deplorable still are the
growing sentiments among a cOnsid
cradle part OF the COlored people.
that their business is to learn TO work
and to leave this question of equality
alone and to take the place in the
where the white man sees
fiji TO put him.
Now, its all well enough to talk
about raising three thousand dollars
TO hire a lawyer to carry a case tn
the Supreme Court of the United
States. That's a good thing for the
lawyer and I'm a lawyer. It's all
well enough to talk about legal rights:

plause.) Nobody is going to bring
them to you. You can't get them by
praying to the courts or to the bosses
or the Lord; no slaves ever got them
that way and any man who is de-
pendent on the other is to that extent
a slave whether he can be bought or
sold or not. (Applause). You can
only get them by your own efforts.
your own intelligent work, your own
bravery, your own sacrifice. May be
there haven't been enough CoIored
men shot and burned at the stake as
yet; 1t may be the battle has merely
begun; you can't tell. It does not
look very hopeful to me; but Colored
people must take one of two posi-
lions; either they must accept the
place in which the white man has
seen fit to put him or they must take
the chances Of a fight for liberty and
equality. (Applause). This question
is not different from any other ques-
ton. OF course you people broadly
classified as Colored people and you
naturally look upon that as the great
est question there is in the world to.
day, as 1t is and should be to you;
aS I would look upon it were I'm
your place. But still while you have
been slaves you are not the only peo-
pie who have been slaves; you have
been there a little later than the rest
OF us. Pretty nearly everybody Of any
conseQuence-all English people came
up from slavery and It has been
scarcely 100 years only. or a little
more. since slavery was a common
thing all over the continent OF Europe.

HONEST JOHN REVIEWS TERM
Enough for Any
Man

Sheriff John Power was canvassing his
three terms in the office in reminiscent
mood Tuesday morning.
II will resign this position with consid-
cradle satisfaction, after ALL" said Mr..
Power. There is a good deal of worry
and responsibility attached to the office,
and six years of il is enough for any man.
Still, there is good deal in the record
l have made that | feel proud OF. | have
had as many as eleven murderers on my
hands in the Jail az one time, but I have
not had any man who was condemned TO
death. There has not consequently been
hanging during my terms, and for that
| am very thankful. We have taken sew
eral men to the penitentiary to serve life
sentences, but while there is life of course
there will be hope.
Another thing ] can look back on with
good deal OF qualification. and my depu-
ties as well. is that. although we have had
three strikes TO handle. there has been no
blow struck by either myself or my depu-
ties. The nearest to such n thing was out
at Shelley some years ago. when an old
man persisted in driving his COW along the
b. & NJ. railroad tracks against all or
ders. The man who quarreled with him
did so in self-defense, however. but he
was irresponsible and was afterward
in Jail for some offense."

ALL AGREE WITH THE WOMAN
Police Court Attaches Admit Dollar
Thirty-Three "a Week Not
Enough to Live On.

Mrs. Stamps opinion that 1913 is not
enough for a woman TO live on for a week
was generally shared by those who heard
the woman's story in police court Tues
day morning
Earl Stamp. the woman's husband, ar
rested New Year day by Detectives Ferris
and Dunn on a charge OF wife abandon
ment preferred by the young wife, was dis
charged by the police Judge when he
learned the husband and wife had ad-
justed their differences by the husband
giving his wife 81 TO tide her over until
he shall have made a trip to his folks at
Macon, Mo.
Stamp was arrested at the Burlington
station as he was about to leave the city.
HE left me with 81 33 and not a bite to
eat in the house" said the wife, "and /
just thought I would have him held. I
have proof that he said he intended TO
leave me. If he had given me s. or so be-
fore he left would not have stopped him.
I have no folks to go TO and he has and I
don't propose that he shall treat me in
this manner. He is a nice boy and I
hated TO have him locked up Monday night
but he can't go away and leave me with
only s,S3."
In the captains office at the police sta
ton Mrs. Stamp told her husband what
was what.
The Stamps reside at 1918 Ieavenworth

BOOTH QUITS CORNHUSKERS
Writes Athletic Beard Business Will Pre-
vent His Coaching Another Year.
GENERAL REGRET At HIS DECISION
several Applications for Position. hut
Hernstein, n University of Mich
iEan Product. Likely TO he
offered the Place.
From a stan Correspondent

LINCOLN. Jan. 2.-tSpecial Telegram)-
The athletic board Of the University of Ne
braska must look other than to Walter c.
Booth for foot ball coach in 1906. Booth
has served notice upon the Cornhusker
authorities that his law practice in New
York City will not permit him TO coach
another season.
Booth has coached the Cornhuskers for
six successive years. coming to Nebraska
in 1900 from Princeton, where he played at
center and was a member of two champion
teams. The athletic board feels kcenly his
loss, for It was not until Booth took
charge that the Cornhuskers attained any
prominence in western foot ball During
his six years the Cornhuskers have five
times won the championship Of the Mis-
souri, valley. and have played twelve games
against Big Nine" teams. seven of which
were victories.
The athletic board has received several
applications for the coachship succession,
but Hernstein, coach at Purdue during the
season just ended, is the most likely candi-
date.
