met and resolved. The Negro Busi
ness Mems League and the Niagara
movement is about to meet in their
respective conventions and make
their annual reports and addresses TO
the country. One meets in the West
Topeka, Kans., while the other meets
in the extreme East in Boston, Mass
One has as its president Booker T.
Washington, while the other has as
its head W E. B. Du Bois as secre-
tary. The one has been consider
ate continuous and silent organ.Za-
tion on all public questions vital to
the Negro, while the other has been
nationally active, outspoken and fruit
full in rights reclaiming and stimula-
tion in race consciousness along all
lines. The one believes in a man
hood that can stoop to produce re-
suits now, but that may work up to
a full degree along the line of least
resistance at future time; while the
other stands and fights for universal
manhood, untrammeled and unfet.
tered now and forever No doubt
but that the Brownsville matter will
play part, either silent or active,
In both of these august bodies. The
personnel of one consisting Of bust
ness men, politicians, Office holders,
professional and literary men. The
personnel Of the other consists main
ly OF scholars, agitators, politicials
and professional men. If the per
sonnel Of one organization were as
free from educational bias and en-
tangling political alliances in theiI
work as an ordinary alert individual
more confidence could be placed in
them as individuals. The extreme
West will look on both bodies with
the greatest confidence and wait In
patience to see just how they will
act Their ends are the same, bu,
methods as different as their meet
ing places are in the extremes Of
distance. II Is to be hoped that the
world will be the better and wiser
because Of these meetings and thai
truth opened up and shown and moi
concealed or coated over will make
us free indeed.
