Montgomery, Ala, january Sin
the course Of his Emancipation Day
address to a large audience at the
State Normal School yesterday Wal
ter S. Buchanan, President of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
College for Negroes at Normal, Ala,
said:
amy effort to point out and praise
the men who have helped to direct
the current of Negro progress into
safe and sane channels the men who
have made possible all this progress
in wealth, education and Christianity
of which the Negro boasts, would be
incomplete misleading and unfair did
it not give due credit to that great
host of valiant Confederate soldiers,
who, as they stacked their arms at
AppomattoX court house to study war
no more, put away all opposition to
those policies which the results of the
war urheld, and, returning to their
wrecked and ruined homes, took up
the broken thread of civil life, and,
feeling in a wise, courageous and
Christian way the stupendous and
rivaled task of establishing a status
for the vast body of their liberated
slaves, kindly took the freedman by
the hand and sought patiently to lead
him into paths of usefulness, morality
and peace. 1t is to be regretted that
we we're not more willing to follow
these men who know us from the
ground up and wero honestly anxious
TO help us, and at whose final direc-
ton all our great problems are to be
solved. Every Negro knows at least
zone such friend who IN the time Of
need has been his reliable counsellor
and benefactor. The world at large
will never know of many of them for
their modest lives and transformations
charity are too commonplace for pub
lie print, but we know, and they
/ know, and God knows how much they
have done to make our freedom real
and genuine and our progress sure
and eight. May their kind be multi
Piled all throug the Southland and
may we have the good sense to hear
them"

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1911.
Emancipation Day.

On Monday of this week, January
2, Negroes in most of the Southern
States celebrated the emancipation
of the slaves. Forty-eight years have
elapsed since that memorable day
a little less than half a century-and
it is a remarkable progress that these
ex-slaves and their children have
made in that space of time. Forty
eight years ago there could not be
found dozen Negro men competent
to address an intelligent audience.
If Negroes wished to have some one
speak words of encouragement to
them they had to ask some white
friend to deliver the address, but the
passing of forty-eight years finds a
decided change in affairs. The ques-
ton now is not what Negro can be
secured to deliver an address on
Emancipation Day, but which speak
er must be chosen for the occasion?
There is not as much enthusiasm
manifested in this day as there should
be, and especially is this true on the
part of the young Negroes. The ten
dency to abhor the memory Of slav-
cry should be discouraged and the
young people should be taught to
honor the memories of ali those men
and women who labored for the
adjustment of slavery; they should
honor the men who signed the proc
lamation which gave liberty to over
three million souls; they should also
honor those men who had the cour-
age to amend the constitution in a
way to guarantee liberty to about
eight hundred thousand other Ne
groes who were still being held in
bondage after the Emancipation
Proclamation had been signed; and
finally, the young Negroes should be
taught to honor, love and hold as
a sacred trust the memories of their
mothers and fathers who wero
beaten with many stripes and suf-
fered death and yet under all of the
persecution they continued to com
mune with the Supreme Ruler Of the
universe until he, by his divine ar
rangcment, caused the bonds of slav-
cry to be broken and all men made
free.
AS We remember reverently what
our liberty cost, so will the glver OF
that liberty be pleased with our
thoughts and deeds, and will make
us prosper, but when we forget the
source from whence this freedom
came We will lose the ways Of true

from the white newspapers on ac-
count of the excellence OF appoint

which is very well; for as a matter
of fact, most of the appointments have
gone to worthy and deserving men,
But when it is considered that there
are between 100000 and 100000 col

whom are good citizens, the question
will naturally arise as to why none of
them are even mentioned for a place,

Our Unfortunate Sufferers.

No Negro likes to be called poor,
therefore we will refer to those who
are suffering during this cold spell
as unfortunates. There are scores
of people ia this city who are suffer
ing for fuel, food and clothing. MANI
of them probably could have provided
better than they diH i, bat be that as it
may, the fact remains that they are
suffering now, and it is the duty OF
those who thought to prepare for such
g. time to help those who did not.
The unfortunate man is not alto,
gether 10 blame for his condition.
No man can live unto himself, there
fore it behooves each individual to
aid his brother in every way posi-
BILE. When the sun is shining hot
and life is easy it is the duty of the
well-balanced man to counsel his
thoughtless brother to purchase has
coal when summer prices are on and
to save the excursion money to buy
clothes with for winter. Counsel and
friendly advice will do more to allie
viate the sufferings of the people
than ridieule and abuse.

development and retrogression win
oyertake us.
Another feature of THIS celebration
that should receive serious consider
alton by our ablest thinkers is the
conflicting dates. In some sections
the day is celebrated in June and in
others in August. Right here in Ten
nessee the Negroes are not together
on a date. One day should be agreed
upon and every Negro in the country
should cease from labor and give
that day to praise and thanksgiving.

Negro Voters Would Like to Know

If Negro policemen in uniform and
Negro fire companies are not offensive
TO white citizens in states like Ten
nessee, Mississippi and louisiana, why
should they not be acceptable in st,
Louis? Can the Republican party in
St Louis answer this question? Ne
groes are not asking this question
through idle curiosity. but because
they feel that the tremendous MAORI
ty of recen elections which have shown
so plainly on the right side Of Repub-
liean ledgers, were in a grea tmeasure
due to the solid Negro republican vote

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-11-01

The Nicholson Produce company is
about to inaugurate new departure
in Denison, by furnishing an absolute
ly pure article in the line of milk and
cream. This is something which in
terests every user of milk and cream
in the city. 1t is well-known fact
among physicians and psychologists
that more cases of tuberculosis orig
mate from impure milk than from any
other one cause. The process of pas
teurization of milk and cream con-
sists in running the milk over coil
Of heated pipes and then through a
machine which absolutely kills all the
germs. The milk is then placed in a
room. with temperature of about IS
degrees Fahrenheit, at which temper
allure it is bottled and sealed in germ
proof bottles. The cream will rise
on pasteurized milk as we'll or better
than on that not pasteurized and will
keep sweet for much longer time as
it is the bacteria in milk which causes
it to sour. Read their ad on page

dron. The downstairs was decorated

which was very attractive. After the
evening had been spent in numerous
games to suit the occasion six senior
boys served the company to a three
course Dutch luncheon which had been
prepared by the boys of the class.

The rummage sale, held under the
auspices of the City Federation of Wo-
mans clubs, was conducted last Fri
day and Saturday at the Otto build
ing on the south side of Broadway and
proved a great success, as the receipts
Amounted to $40 for the two days. Out
of this, of course, there will be a
small amount for expenses. The
amount realized this year was some
what less than last year. which is
probably due to the fact that the sale
was not as we'll advertised this year
as last There is some talk of having
another sale next spring, although this
matter has not been fully decided
upon.
