We have not yet dignihed the pro-

Appeal to Colored Americans Partic-

Friday, January the sixth, 1911, is
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
birth of Charles Sumner, for twenty
three years a member of the United
States Senate, during the critical days
for this Union from 1851 to 1874. We
appeal to our fellow countrymen to
celebrate with appropriate exercises
his centenary.
To no son more than to Sumner
does this Republic owe its preserva-
ton as a free country, to none more
its rescue from the blasting blight
and national blot of human slavery.
At first standing almost alone in the
Senate, he Numbered against the in
EQUITY of slavery until it was abol-
ished. Willingly he suffered the al
most living death caused by the
mighty attack he made upon this sin.
and by his suffering multiplied IT.

he was foremost against its recrude
scence in new forms. Noble service
he rendered his Republic as advocate
of equality of rights. He was a moral
giant, a great statesman, noble cru
sader against caste, true American.
He belonged not to Massachusetts
alone, but to the Union. Now the
whole country owes him homage.
Only by loyalty to his tenet of dem
ocracy that Equality of Rights is the
First of Rights" can the perpetuity of
free institutions be assured.
In every city. town and hamlet, let
those Americans Of Color to secure
liberty, citizenship the ballot and
lastly civil equality for whom he lab
ored prepare to honor his memory in
public meeting on January the sixth,
1911. He died with these words on
his lips-"Don't let them kill my
Civil Rights Bill" Honor his memory
all other Americans for whom he
gave his genius and his life to make
this real Republic, a country where
all should be equal under the law
without distinction of race, creed or

After arriving, I discovered that
none of the great teachers knew OF

BY the Negro, because the Colored
pupils they had taught had voices
similar to whites.
From experiments with over a
thousand voices of several nations

of the white nations.
The Negro carries the stamp of a
singer in his face, and body. His big
mouth contains a high arch and big
hard teeth which give peculiar reson-
ance to his tones. His big nose with

wide hard chest bone which was in

Caucasian with his aquiline nose has
a close tone, a focus which is lack

needs top-a roof-as well as the
floor tone he possesses as a birth

where he says "coo-coo," he will
have an ideal singing tone.
Every Negro who can talk, can
sing if he wills to do so, and if he
