ization of the world Industrial or
hand education that a few years ago
we thought was being applied only
to the Negro is now being given to
white boys and girls throughout the
as well as professional men, but that
these countries would soon be pro-
country, and especially in the South,
in a larger degree than it has ever
been provided for black children.
Again, we can unite as a race up
on the idea that our leaders, whether
they are ministers or teachers, must
be Of pure, high moral type. We
can unite upon the idea that no
Church should tolerate for a single
monument man in the pulpit as a
leader whose moral character is at all
questionable. Justice to the clean
minister demands that he not be COM
PEELED to associate with the one of
unclean character. Our ministers in

the Spanish-American War, and
which, with Col John R. Marshall
in command, rendered service that
won the highest encomiums at the
hands of the United States Govern
ment. It is the only colored regi-
ment maintained by any State in the
Union, and is regarded as one of
the finest drilled and most capably
oficered and best disciplined regi-
ments Fn the country. The First
Regiment Armory, probably the larg-
est armory in the world, has been en-
gagged for the occasion.
1t is also planned to have an ex-
hibition drII by the regiment, so
that the visitors lfrom the North,
East, South and West, may see what
Chicago and the State of Illinois
have in the shape of Negro soldiers.

larger degree than is true of any
other class must be prepared to lead
public sentiment rather than to fol-
low it; must lead public sentiment
when it is not popular to do so; but
learn that the doctrine which is fofr
the present the most popular is not
that which in the long run will do
the people the most good.
We can unite as a people upon the
idea that wherever the black man
lives, whether North or South, East
or West, he must pursue the same
policy that other races pursue, and
that is to make frfiendS in a manly,
straightforward manner with the
people among whom he lives. We
must learn that true courage man
ifests itself in cultivating the friend
ship and confidence of the white man
who is right at our door. OF all the
facts in my life of which l am
proud, there is none which | point
to with more satisfaction than the
fact that in my town and in my cOun-
ty l can call every man, no matter
what his color, my frifend. We all
should bear in mind, as I said in the
beginning, that the great masses of
our people are to remain in the South
and we should see to it that neither
by our words or Our actions that we
ad to their burdens.
We can unite upon the idea, again,
that we do not ask any special con-
sideration because of our race or
color, but that the same law which is
made to apply to other races Of peo-
pie nthis country be applied with
equal and exact and unerring justice
to our race.
We can unite upon the idea that we
do not consider social intermingling
with any other race necessary to our
salvation, but we do consider that it
is fundamentally important that ev-
ervwhere in America that we have

Chicago Preparing to Receive Con-
veHti0H Visitors With Open Arnts.
Greatest Social Function in His
tory Of Negro Race Planned BY the
Eighth Regiment for Tune IS.
Chicago, ILL.,, May 2o.-The col
ored men of this city are preparing
to give the colored delegates and
visitors to the Republican National
Convention the greatest time ever
given to colored delegates and visit
ors to any previous National Con-
vention. Unquestionably, however,
the most beautiful and enjoyable af-
fair to be given during the week of
the convention - and possibly the
most brilliant affair ever given in
Chicago for social entertainment of
the race - will be the band concert
and full dress reception rendered by
the officers and men of the Eighth
Illinois Regiment on Thursday eve
ming, June Is. This is the "crack"
regiment that went to Cuba during
The Washington bee., 1908-05-23

cered from colonel to corporal by col
ored men, and it will be a matter
of much pleasure and deep interest
to all to see them in action.
The officers in full regimentaIs,
beautifully gowned women, and dis
tinguished colored men from every
State in the Union, in full evening
dress, will make this function one
that will go down in history as the
greatest and handsomest reception
ever given among colored men and
women in this country. It will take
on truly national proportions, and the
ladies are fairly on tiptoe of expecta-
ton in anticipation of its brilliancy
It is the desire of the officers and
members of the regiment that every
delegate and alternate delegate to the
convention receive an invitation, and
it is requested by the management
that all delegates and alternates send
their names and addresses at once
to Col. John R. Marshall, 5000 Calu-
met avenue, Chicago, Illinois, to in
sure their receiving an invitation.
