ADDRESS.

For the third time the Niagara
Movement in annual meeting appeals
20 the world and to America. This
has been year OF wrong and dis
elimination. There sits today in
the governors chair sovereign
southern commonwealth man stained
with the blood OF innocent black
workingmen, who fell in the Allan
ta massacre, and whose unavenged
death cries TO God for justice. What
answer does Georgia return? The
fraudulent Acknowledgement OF her
citizens, and with the echo of her
fell attack on democracy sounds
the eager voices of great tribunal
dedicated to industrial freedom.
which has in unseemly haste scurried
10 uphold social slavery and the vi
cious and nasty Jim-Crow car.
And why not? Has not the man in
the White House set them a brave
example by bowing before the brown
and armed dignity OF Japan. and
staggering roughshod over the help
less black regiment whose bravery
made him famous? With such ex-
ample, why should not the lawless
and vicious of the land take courage?
parts OF our country follow this lead
and spread the mockery of the Re-
publican government in the South?
But we viii not follow. We are
Americans. We believe in this land
We cannot silent see it false to its
great ideals. We call for repent
ance. reparation, reeonsecration to
the ideals of Washington, jefferson
and our own Hamilton. We de-
mand freedom from labor peonage
We demand a free and fair ballot.
We demand The denial OF national
representation TO the states who de-
ny the rights OF citizens We de-
mand federal legislation forbidding
exclusion OF any persons from inter-
state cars on account OF race or col
or. We ask common school train
ing for every child If necessary at
national expense. We demand full
eXoneration and reinstatement OF our
shamefully libeled soldiers. and f.
nally, 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 the North. Use your bal
lots to defeat Theodore Roosevelt,
William Taft, or any man named by
the present political dictatorship.
Better vote for avowed enemies than
for false friends. But, better still,
vote with the white laboripg 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 century OF Jesus Christ to
light the battle of humanity In the
very van of His army. Help us
brothers, for the victory which lin
gers. must and shall prevail.

Committee.

Senator NJ. J. Foster while in
New Orleans recently, in an inter-
view to a States reporter, among
other things, said:
"Louisiana has Jared very " y
during this session Of congress.
1t has had liberal appropriations
for leyees, for the Southwest Pass
work, for the river and the various
streams throughout the state, for
the immigration station, and two
new and important items have
been put in the rivers and harbe RS
bill, an appropriation of $3.50 900
for the building of the inter-
coastal canal from the Mermentean
river to the mouth OF the Sabine.
and for the deepening and locking
of the Upper Teche to a depth Of
six feet.
Appropriations have also been
put in the all for the building Of
the micronesia canal in Texas.
The value of this canal to the
people of Louisiana is very great.
1t will provide all of the country
from Franklin to the Sabine with
direct water connections through
the Plaquemine locks to New Or
leans. Congressman Pujo has
been very energetic in this matter.
He will have a hard fight in the
conference, but he is energetic and
he is most likely to win. Congress-
man Davey told me he thought
the immigration station would
come out all right.
"The other new project in the
bill, that of building locks in the
Upper Teche to provide six feet Of
water from st. Martinsville up, is
one that will be of great benefit to
the people of that section"

win be overwhelmingly defeated ai the election
il August The chief cause for dissatisfaction
he hnds, are county boundaries. the prohibition
clause and the gerrymander
There are many features about the proposed
constitution that are admirable, and far in adj
vance Of any constitution heretofore made. But
The chieftain has always insisted that the boun-
dairy mess was entirely mistaken and unjustf
able. If the convention had left this subject
entirely alone, and had written constitution
instead Of eadeavoring to locate county seats,
the constitution would not now have any opposi-
tion that could even be called serious.
The Chieftain still believes, however, that the
constitution win be adopted, bad as it is. Still,
it is preferable to continuance Of present con
ditions But, as the Muskogee Phoenix points
out, the convention can, when it meets on April
16, remove all doubt as to statehood by eliminat-
ing all the county boundary legislation and BY
redistricting the state fairly on population, based
on the vote cast in the last election
If the convention prefers statehood to politics
it will take this action But is the convention
really patrioticg That remains to be seen.
