Let constructive progress be the dom
inant note among us lii the every Sec

mistake of keeping in the dark and

youth of our race. Just now what the
race wants is not a vision of despair,
but vision of triumph, not a picture
of oppression, but an inspiration to
overcome difficulties
: "The race is not losing friends in
America nor will it do so, as long as
we continue to prove ourselves worthy.
We must frankly face The fact that the
great body of our people are to dwell
in the south and any policy that does
not seek to harmonic the two races
and cement them is unwise and dan
gerous.
"The negro, the Irisnman- the Jew,
the German, the Italian residing in the
north and west put forth every effort
to cultivate and retain the friendship
of their neighbors, and the negro in the
south should pursue tte same policy.
The indiscrimination Of all white peo-
lple on the part of our race is a sui
cidal and dangerous policy. We must
learn to discriminate. We have
strong friends both in the north and
south and we should emphasize and
magnify the efforts OF our friends
more that that OF those who wish Us
evil.

materially, educationaDy, morally and
religiously. We own today, mainly in
the south, an acreage that is equal
to the combined acreage Of the king
doms OF Belgium and Holland. DOM
