After expressing his delight that

king statistics on Negro progress.
Ten years ago." he continued, there
we're no drug stores owned by Ne
groes. Now there are 200. Black
men now control nearly j,00j general
stores and more than 100000 homes
are now owned and occupied by Ne

farms. All this represents real prog
resS 1t is, OF course, the uuIy OF
the white man to render aid to the
Negro in all his enterprises. No good
American can fail to subscribe to the
motto, "All men up and not some men
down. If in any community the Ne
gro quarter is wretched, and one of
potential criminality, there is as much
of menace to the white man in that
condition as to the black.
You colored men and women set
your faces like flint against those who
would preach to you only the gospel
of hate, envy and bitterness. Realize
that the only way to help your race
is not by preaching vindictiveness and
hatred, but by leading your people up
to prosperity through good citizen
