been in every battle from the beginning
Of this great land of the free, and he
has been and is now getting the short
end of the stick. During the last rebel
lion if the North could have whipped
the South without the aid of the Negro,
today We would be slaves. Even the
South, before the end, proposed to arm
the slaves; and yet it is claimed that the
Negro Is no good. The whole trouble
Is that the white man of the United
States IS jealous of rapid progress made
By the Negro of the United States since
the war.

been badly abused. A secret inyestiga-
ton IS being made by order of the Com

Russian method should be suppressed in

One Of the main reasons of the trou-
bles with colored Masons is the ideas
Of some Grand Masters that they have
the full control of the higher degrees,
when they only have control Of the First
Second and Third Degrees. The other
degrees are controlled by their respect

THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT AD-

he NlAGANA MON EMEN AD-
DRESS.
Adopted at The Annual Meeting at
Boston, Mass, ugust 20 to 28,
1907.
For the third time the Niagara
Movement in annual meeting appeals
to the world and to America. This
has been a year of wrong and dis
elimination. There sits today in the
governors chair of a sovereign South
ern Commonwealth a man stained
with the blood of innocent black
workingmen who fell in the Atlanta
massacre, and whose unavenged death
cries to God for justice. What an
swer does Georgia return: The
fraudulent disfranchisement of her
citizens, and with the echo of her fell
attack on democracy sound the eager
voices of a great tribunal dedicated
to industrial freedom, which has in
unseemly haste scurried to uphold
social slavery and the vicious and
nasty Jim Crow car. And why not? i?
Has not the man in the White
House set them brave example by
bowing before the brown and armed
dignity of Japan and staggering
roughshod over the helpless black reg
iment whose bravery made him fam
Gus? With such example why should
no. the lawless and vicious of the
land take courage? Why should not
the less civilized parts of our coun-
try follow this lead and spread the
mockery of republican government in
the South? But we will not follow
We are Americans. We believe in
this land. We cannot silent see it
false to its great ideals. We call for
repentance, regeneration, reconsecra-
ton to the ideals of Washington, JEFF
ferson, and our own Hamilton. We
demand freedom from labor peonage.
We demand a free and fair ballot
We demand the denial of national
representation to States who deny
the rights of citizens. We demand
Federal legislation forbidding exclu-
sion of any persons from interstate
cars on account of race or color. We
ask common school training for ev-
cry child, if necessary, at national
expense. We demand full exoneration
and reinstatement of our shamefully
hbelled soldiers, and, finally, in Gods
name, we ask justice, and not only do
we ask and pray, but we back our
prayer by deeds. We call on the
500, 900 free black voters Of theNorth.
Use your ballots to defeat Theodore
Roosevelt, William Taft, or any man
named by the present dictatorship.
Better vote for ayowed enemies than
for false friends. But, better still,
vote with the white laboring classes,
remembering that the cause of labor
is the cause of black men, and the
black mans cause IS labor's own.
We are not discouraged. We thank
God for life and health and property,
for shade and shine, and above all for
the opportunity in the twentieth cen
curry of Jesus Christ to fight the battle
of humanity in the very van of His
army. Help US, brothers, for the Vi"

beauty and fineness of the fabric is

Always to Be Depended Upon.


When a person gets up in the morn

stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best Of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy. Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.

Newspapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
In Braille type. which have had a long
and useful career. though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June /,
1892. and called the Weekly Summary.
It has always been issued below cost
price, and its promoters derive no
benefit from its publication. An
other was started only last year,
called the Braille Weekly. and issued
from Edinburgh.
