"ALL THE TIME"

You can fool all Negroes a
part of the time, and you can
fool some Negroes all of the
time, but you can't fool all of the
Negroes all OF the time"
A large number OF those Ne
groes fooled all of the time
gathered March 6 at the Metro
politan church to witness the
presentation of a Loving Cup"
to Ex-senator Foraker. These
Negroes having this affair in
hand for over a month previous
by night and by day had been
around beseeching members of
the race to subscribe. It was
after a hard struggle that the
money was forthcoming, to pay
for the cup. 1t was not, as some
would have you believe, a spon-
taneous offering.
Those who gave were com
Inended for their manhood; those
who declined were denounced as
towards.
Many Negroes reflected that
this defense of the dismissed
soldiers was not altogether i'll
spired by any special regard for
the Negro. Many thoughtful
Negroes knew the causes leading
up to a sudden defense of Ne
groes by Senator Tillman. Many
Negroes reflected that Charles
Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Thad-
deus Stevens and a host of other
lifelong advocates OF the course
of the Negro never received a
loving cup from them, and not
even a representative of their
own race ever was thus honOred
by them. We heard that this
meeting was the greatest ever
held by Negroes in this commu-

ress in the business world; and that
one thing is, that he is too religiously
inclined to build fine churches. Mark
you, now, am a dear lover of the
house of God; for there is none
other place under the sun to be COM
pared to it. But the Negro spends
too much of his money in that kind
OF business. God does not require
1t of him. Nothing suits some of
these little, lazy self-called preachers
better than to hear of a church being
on the eve of a split. He'll urge it
on ana tell the tottering members that
The very best thing to do is to pulf
out and lets Zine" in and build
new church A church whose foun-
dation is built upon malice hasn't got
very much, if any, of the true spirit
of God within her walls. They are
simply built for the purpose of having
grand rallies" thereby keeping the
poor Negroes nose on the grind stone
all of his life. MY Fathers house
is the house of prayer" saith the low
ly Nazarene, "but you have made it
a den of thieves"
The Negro's ability to erect fine
churches but demonstrates the fact
that he would be a power in the bust
ness world if he was so inclined.
The common people have always
shown a willingness to follow What
they need is simply leaders who are
trustworthy and will do the right
thing by them, If all of these preach
ers in Washington would get to-
gether and urge it upon the people TO
unite themselves together, as one
man. and take stock and start a dry
goods, shoe and clothing house, and
then spend their money there to make
it success. so that the Negro store
could give employment to a goodly
number of our young men and wo-
men when they finish school (and
thus shun the insults of the whites
who care not whether they wait OF
YOU or not when you go into their
places OF business) they would be do
ing something more pleasing in the
sight of God than to be continually
building so many churches for the
sole purpose of giving some fellow
an easy job. Might as well get to

Again, all that the >colored people
need is trustworthy leaders. They
will follow. As a proof of our asser-
ton that they will follow, we have
but to cite to you the appeal of some
of those money grafters in the Afro
American Council few years ago
Some of these leaders, and all Of
them are not in the cemetery yet,
thing which should be borne in mind
in the selection of new leaders, were
given big sum of money to do some
great things for the race, which are
yet to be done! What has become OF
