PROTEST AGAINST
NEGRO NElGHBORS

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 27.-Rlot
and every other means of lntiml
dation were hinted at in hearing
before the City Council Committee
on Police Jail yesterday by white
people, who we're there to favor
an ordinance confning the colored
people to streets almost solely oc-
cupied by members of the race
Within the past ten days color
ed people have bought or rented
much desirable property that had
been either idle or thrown on the
market and tempest in teapot
was caused few weeks ago when
colored people moved in property
on McCulloh street that had been
occupied by Hebrews.
A number of white persons
made arguments for the proposed
law, which, by the way, is not Il
law in any city in this country.
The colored people who moved in
to this property were said not to
represent the better element OF the
race and the white real estate
agents who sold or rented 1T to
tbem were declared to be unscrup-
ulous.
A number of colored citizens
were on hand to oppose the reac-
tionary measure, but they were
told that they and others would
be heard next Monday.

DR.. Daniel H. Williams
Performs Brilliant Operation

DR.. Daniel H. Williams, the
we'll known physician and surgeon
of Chicago, was in the city a few
days this week, the guest OF the
Indiana Association of Negro Ply
sicians, Pharmacists and Dentists.
One of the noteworthy events in
the history of the medical profess
ion of Indiana occurred in connec-
ton with this third annual meet
ing. Through the courtesy of the
City Board of Health and Super
intendent of the City Hospital DIR.
Williams held the first public cli-
mic in the City Hospital by col
ored man.
The operation was brilliantly
done. The internes, superinten-
dent. Lard spectators were interest
cd, all of whom were unstinted in
praise of DR.. Williams work.
He has no doubt the most COM
plete knowledge of the human
body of any man of our race. His
advent into this city marks a new
area in the medical circles. His
lectures are pregnant with wisdom
and cannot but produce a whole
some effect upon the profession.
Wednesday morning he perform
ed another brilliant operation at
DR.. j. Ell. Wards sanitorium and
visited the Lincoln Hospital in
the afternoon. He was the reclp-
lent of much attention while here
and the Indiana Association has
already plan on foot for his re-
turn.-The Freeman.

three o'clock in the afternoon, then

seven miles back again.
We had no horse, and of course,

in getting the place cleared and start

things, but had no money to get them.
But my wife said, eve can do it" that
pharse became our motto, and has
been ever since.
We bought a secondhand incubator
for six dollars and hundred eggs for
seven dollars-that was our start. we
now had the machine and the eggs and
no place to put them, so we decided
to start the machine in our parlor. We
gave the machine every attention that
it needed, and on the nineteenth day,
our first hatch began piping. My

see what had gone wrong, and what
do YOU think | found? A machine full
of the whitest, prettiest, downy little
chicks that had even seen. Our first
hatch had been a success (Applause.)
The weather had been very bad and
the snow very deep. l did not have
brooder and could not get out of doors
to make one; we got some window
screens and divided off corner in our
kitchen and covered the floor with
newspapers and started to raise our
chickens By the time they were two
weeks old, it was so that | could work
out of doors again. l got piano Dox
and made brooder and it raised the
chickens as good as any that 1 have
since owned. We had as many as
eight of them going before the season
was over
We raised quite a number of chick
ems that year-the people had never
seen them raised that way before, and
they came to see us by the dozens.
That fall we had about $50 or 300 of

much talk of the fortunes being made

Ftbink of the possibilities of such a
business. l started to learn every
thing about the one thing that welove
so well-the chicken. (Laughter.)
I began by reading everything that

had now become as big chlckeh
crank as |. We had very little money
to start with. 1t is true that was
getting a small salary that was hardly
enough to keep the wolf from the
door. Anyhow, we made up our minds
TO try and see what we could DO.
We had saved few dollars, SO
started to see if l could tlnd place
where chickens could be raised. When

While looking for a place, l used up
every spare moment of my time, but
that hunt was an education to me IN

in that way, l learned many things

At last found place that suited
me. but when / tell you that it had not
been worked for twenty years, you VIII

place was beautifully situated at cor

that leads to the city.
But what sight to behold there
was the old house ready to fall to
the ground, the place all grown IN
weeds and underbrush; there was one
redeeming feature; in front OF that old
house. were two of the finest maple
trees you could find for miles around.
The old well had caved in, and there
was no water on the place. Our
friends said that we were going there
to starve, but my wife said that I'VE

your Judgment, after you have heard
this paper, as to whether we succeed

The first thing that we did was to
try and fix place to live in, and

and cozy a little home as any one
would desire, you will see how well we
succeeded. After finishing the house,
we started in to clean up the place.

Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" 1t makes no difference
whether that liberty be small or great,
it takes fight to preserve it. And
it is one long, never-ending fight, call
ing for eternal readiness, eternal fit
ness, eternal vigilance. The man who
gets tired fighting for his rights and
liberties might as well have none. If
If were not for other men who con-
time the fight for him he would have
none. The greater the number to give
I'M the fight, the greater the labors of
those who must carry on the struggle
for all. 1t is not fair to give up the
fight; it is not Just to ourselves or to
those who must continue the struggle
for us.
II should hardly be necessary to
make such an appeal as this to colored
men and women in the endeavor to
have them register and get ready to
vote at the coming election. But this
duty has been too largely neglected.
And it is not mere neglect that is re-
snonsible for the diminishing of our
representation at the polls, but, in
many cases, it is downright indiffer-
ence. It is the mean and lazy quality
which sacrifices benefits we have as
well as those which we might attain.
Because we cannot accomplish all that
we would like to accomplish and as
soon as we think we ought to accom-
plish it, we get tired of the effort or
disgusted with the conditions requir-
ing the same struggle over and over.
Then we begin to complain about the
Injustice we meet with and to whine
about the wrongs we suffer, and in
this way we seek to justify our with
drawal from political activity and the
abandonment of our political RESPONSE
bilities. 1t is a shame that we are so
short-sighted. The mere exercise OF
the right of franchise is a benefit In
itself. The man who votes regularly
is respected more than the man who
does not vote, no matter how or for
whom his vote is cast He is respect
ed because his vote is an expression
of his individual civil power, which
some time, in some way, may possibly
decide some great and important mat
ter. and at least help to make ma
iority. It is not necessary that we
should see some special or personal
benefit as the result of our voting. The
greatest benefit is the respect which
the intelligent exercise of the right OF
franchise brings to us.
On the other hand, the neglect TO
vote or the constant abuse of the bal

lot power causes contempt. The man
who takes no interest in the kind of
government he lives under, or in the
character of the officials elected to
direct that government, is a poor busi-
ness man and a poor citizen. If
! majority of the people were like him
no mans life or property would be
safe, because the government would be
a despotic farce. 1t takes men and
women who care and who voluntarily
do their duty to keep a government
safe and free. But colored men and
women have special need to vote. To
neglect to vote is to stagnate. over
in Oklahoma a grandfather disfran-
chising clause is being worked into
the state constitution to take the col
ored citizens vote away from him.
They are to have no say in the cleo
ton of officers who will govern them,
if the Democratic policy is carried out,
Their political progress will be cut
short; their civil liberties will be men,
aced they can exert no influence that
will insure them a safe standing un-
der the law.
The same situation may not con-
front us in Colorado, but the neglect
of our rights and duties will create
conditions approaching those promised
in Oklahoma. Democracy is the same
at heart everywhere. Even progress
sive Democrats in Georgia demand dis
franchisement of the Negroes. They
will not do it in Colorado, but Demo
cratic successes in Colorado in recent
years have helped to lessen the politi-
cal regard which the colored citizens
formerly enjoyed We have lost rep
resentation and general political con-
sideration. And some of us have con-
tributed to that loss by neglecting to
register and vote or by voting foolish
ly. The Republican party is still the
party of sympathy. of progress and of
political safety. On the complete Re-
publican ticket this year there are the
names of many particularly earnest
friends of the colored people. We do
not mean merely political friends, but
sincere and outright friends on purely
personal principles. They are big
hearted, progressive Americans, such
as we must depend upon for all that
Se expect to gain in the way of civil
and political improvement. We should
need no greater consideration or in
ducement to persuade us to register
and vote. Don't wait to be begged or
carried to the registration places. Go
as duty which you owe to yourself
and your people, as well as to your
country and state, and go without de-
lay. 1t is your best move.
