SOLDIERS PRAISED.

There come the soldiers," This
was the remark of Colonel Roosevelt
in the reviewing stand Monday when
Corporal White Camp OF colored Span
ish War Veterans came down Broad
way. Only twenty men were there,
but the gallant colonel paid them the
signal honor of pointing them out as
real sons of Mars, tried and true and
never found wanting. Coming to sal
ute he beheld them, the representa-
tives of the black regiments whose
heroic charge saved his life and his
regiment at El Caney, and impulsive-
ly paid them the greatest compliment
that heart could pour forth. Negroes
who watched their few defenders of
the flag, were thrilled to think that
these men, in their valor and devo-
ton TO their soldiers duty, had wrung
from the envious lips of whites praise
as high as has ever in the history of
men been given to any soldiers In
their swinging stride there was all
the consciousness of duty done on a
hundred battlefelds The ambuscades
SA N4I ASl Ol
and Filipinos had tried their courage
and proven them men in all that
achievement can. Then, too, they
could look back on a thousand years
of glorious memories of their fathers
deeds, from the days when Hannibal,
with his black cavalry, penned up
mighty Rome within its walls down
TO a generation ago when the world
paused in admiration over the desper-
ate charges the American Negroes
made at Port Hudson and Petersburg.
Indeed there come the soldiers" One
enlistment men and grizzled veterans
retired, all were worthy of Roosevelt's
special recognition.

NECESSITY FOR STRONG

We are convinced that the greatest
need of colored nericans is actual
organization for heir constitutional
rights 1t cannot lie said that colored
Americans cannot rganize They have
disproved this in br siness and in secret
societies
But they have n, yer organized thor
oughly for their ci izenship rights A

sentiment. cannot be stayed or over
come by any race without organized
resistance TO ii.
That is the real eason why. in spite
Of increase OF edu, alton. Of property.
Of business etc. nolored Americans,
though native born. have the least
rights Of any race )r class of citizens
in this country
The race must lea n TO appreciate the
need Of citizenship and must organize
generally against the loss Of their
rights and do Il bei )re 1t is too late or
we shall al be ma lie more and more
