Unbiased educators, statesmen

ties and weighty responsibilities,
to participate in the fortieth ami
versary exercises of one of the
great Institutions of learning
where hundreds of Negro youth
are being educated. The encour-
agement, advice and hopefulness
propounded in the addresses of
these great men meant more for
the race and nation than we can
here estimate. Their philantropic
unselfsh act was but in line with
the spirit of the age, which spirit
is making for the amelioration of
all untoward conditions and the
betterment OF all humanity. Such
acts exhibit a lofty purpose, the
outgrowth of the idea that service
to others is paramount and that
no mans duty is complete unless it
encompasses his duty to his fell
low men as we'll as to himself.

ing to those of us who desire this
better era. The elimination of
selfishness on the part of both races
should be sought after. The eco
nomic phase of the question should
not be confused with the racial
phase.
1t may be difficult for some to.
always realize that race prejudice
should have no part in business re
lations. Wherever the Negro
makes himself competent and
worthy his color should not bar
him from remunerative employ
ment and protection of the laws in
the performance of his tasks The
better element of the white race
should and do look with favor and
satisfaction, upon the efforts of the
sturdy progressive Negro. He in
turn asks and should receive their
protection from any ills which may
be visited upon him because of his
race. Feeling secure he will more
industriously strive to become
factor for the commercial and in
dustrial uplift of his community.
The sum total of the progress of
his locality will be hindered or
helped by his individual status
So then, the protection of the laws,
the opportunity to thrive should
be guaranteed him on the one
hand and should be accepted by
him on the other. This interde-
pendence Of the white man and
the Negro must be acknowledged
by all who see the right and strive
for the same.
am always optimistic with re,
gard to the final outcome of this
question. The patience, industry,
fidelity, hopefulness and splendid
endeavor of the Negro through
long generations are an earnest OF
the indestructibility which always
counts in the lives of nations.
These qualities have always
made for the splendid triumph of
the American white man and | be-
lieve the better natures of people
who have thus succeeded will be
appealed to successfully by weaker
people travelling the same pathway.
1t is because of this that I have
faith beyond the discouragements
placed before us by any who doubt
the final success of the Negro.

Treasury spoke in the large audi
torium of the Baptist church at
Durham, N. @. on the evening of
November 26th, 1907 to a crowded
house.
The meeting was presided over
by DIR. James E. Shepard one of
the Secretaries of the International
Sunday School Uuion who is doing
special work among the Colored
people.
When the Register arose to
speak he was greeted with great
applause, which continued through
out the address. His subject was
"The Negro III America"
Among other things he said:
All true Americans regard with
extreme satisfaction the preach
ments and efforts for an era OF
good feeling on the part OF the
leaders of the North and the lead
ers of the South.
The coming together of the hith-
erto discordant elements in our
body polite can bat meet the ap-
proval of the patriotic citizens of
the American Republic.
While this feeling of charity for
all and malice toward none is ever
increasing, we must all agree that
it should be sufficiently inclusive
to embrace the Negro, and that it
will never have accomplished its
full purpose until he, a necessary
part of this Republic. is the bene-
fciary of the same.
If such a spirit is necessary to
the rehabilitation of the Southland
and the building up of the North
land as it relates to the American
white man with his education
wealth and power-how much
more imperative it is that the Ne
gro, the weaker race should be fos
tered and encouraged in the same
way.
The weak look to the strong, the
ignorant look to the intelligent
look to them for aid, leadership
light and justice. Justice unalloY
ed, justice full and free is thai
which the Constitution guarantees
and that which will bring a bette
day to our country.
The evidences of progress arount
me, the prosperity of the Negro
which have observed in the South
all convinced me that there is herr
a spirit of mutual helpfullnes
between the races.
This is gratifying and reassur
The Colorado statesman., 1907-11-30

As a race we must put ourselves
at all times in harmony with the
spirit. We shall be able to meas
ure up to the same by making our
selves the highest types of man
hood and womanhood.
IF we lay well to heart these
thoughts and demand of ourselves
the, best that is within US, we shall
raise ourselves in the estimation
of all the world and prove ourselves
worthy of all the best men of
America will finally secure for us.
