While public Office is a public

which the most generous statement

faithful performance OF the duties as
signed him, he should maintain an
especial interest in his people.
That race should have opposi.

forts for progress because of opposi-
ton? Not SOTO correct that which
is OF wrong within the race. to EN-.
phasize the right and the better things
which the negro has done is a duty
which we must not neglect.
Il believe that the wisest states.

justice to any of our citizens is indeed
harmful to the government, for the
reason that patriotism arising from
intelligent appreciation of the real
greatness of the republic is the real
