In 1919 The American reformer. returned
home AMI was received with enthusiast
tic demonstrations Of respect and de-
light. He lectured for some time through
out the United States. and made several
subsequent trips to Europe He estab-
hshed a paper in Philadelphia called the
Citizen of the World" just prior to the
war, and was strong advocate of the
emancipation Of the slaves through pur-
chase from their owners by the govern
ment, but John Browns raid nipped his
idea in the bud. He only lived a short
time after the close of the war.
IL remains to be recorded of Elihu Bur-
rift that, unlike most reformers, he was
never a bigot; but, broad-minded and
charitable, he could respect the opinions
of others even when they were diametri-
cally opposed to his own. His character
was above reproach, his aims of the
purest and highest, and the poet Long
fellow has borne his tribute OF praise as
follows: 4 always had a great admira-
ton for the sweetness and simplicity of
Mr.. Burritts character, and was in per-

so oyercrowded last evening that it was
necessary TO place bodies. covered with

When two more bodies were received at

years Of age.
Cans was victim Of tuberculosis
The following facts as to how he be-

lad working for small pittance were
taken from his diary:

boys at once had taught me how to
block and dodge and lead, so ! won
my first real fight. which was for a
two dollar side bet and collection Of

success. 1t emphasizes the principle
that sufficient revenue can be collected
through honorable channels without re-
sorting to blackmailing, political piracy
and sensationalism.
ITO aid in this forward movement a
national organization Of Negro journal
lists is absolutely necessary. There
have been such associations In the past,
and they have been led by strong
forces. If for one reason or another
some of them have disintegrated, their
failure, instead Of discouraging the
leaders of today, should inspire In
them a deeper sense of obligation to
take up the cause and plant its banner
on the mountain top. Never in the
history of the race has there been
more insistent need OF a vigorous,
manly honest, fearless, capable and
patriotic Negro press than at this mo-
ment.
'At Louisville last August an ear
nest effort was made by a group of
public spirited exponents of the
fourth estate to lay the foundation of

would bring the scattered brethren Of
the fraternity into a closer sympathy

Further, it was agreed that some
thing must be done to persuade the
masses to extend to our papers more
adequate support, to the end that our
best fitted journalists might be en-
abled to give their full time and tai
