Ier'S GREETINGS
To Educated COlOred Men, Highest call of the CviIiza-
tion of the World is the Educated Young Men of the
Belated Races.
With which you must deal.

with which you must deal.
\ You cannot afford to sink into
slothful satisfaction and do your
little job, draw your little pay, and
enjoy your tasteless leisure, and
with insane self-deception, hide
your little head under the shadow
of your wings, like the foolish bird,
which thereby hopes to escape the
wrath to come.
AS you look over the field the
whole sweep or racial movement
seems to be retrograde. The race
has been disfranchised and jim
crowed and segregated. Lynch
ing and burning of Negroes amid
horrors of indescribable atrocity,
has become fixed American insti-
tuition. The Christian conscience
is sere, and only Christ in Heaven
weeps.
There is no other source of help
but God and you. The white race
through philanthropy has done
much. But its vicarious task YVES
practically completed when it de-
veloped you. You must do the
rest. Our gratitude can never re-
pay the debt. They spoke for us
when our tongues were tied; they
pleaded for us when we were
speechless. But now our facul-
ties are unloosed; we must stand
on our own footing. The greatest
gratitude that the beneficiary can
show to the benefactor is, as soon
as possible, to do without his ben
efaction. True, we are not yet able
to cut loose wholly from the benev-
olent assistance; we still need
some more earrings and finger
rings and other furnishings from
the Egyptians. But the great out
stsnding fact remains, the task of
race craftsmanship and reclama-
ton is not primarily the white
mans burden, but yours. Upon
you will depend it's success or
failure.
AS far as righteous insistence
upon inalienable human rights
will permit, live at peace and help
full cooperation with all men, North
and South, East and West. But
never under any inducements of
cowardice or prudence or thrift,
should you deviate from the
straight line of righteousness.
which alone points out the way
and points the way out.
Moral energy and race loyalty
should be brought to bear upon
your task whether you be engaged
in the production of wealth or in
the more condite pursuits, which
administer to the higher needs of

ing. You represent the first gen.
Grafton If yonr race, now grown to
the fullness of the stature of man
hood, under the influence and pow
er of education. You are the first
ripened fruit of philanthropy, and
by you alone will its wisdom or
folly be justified. The hope of the
race is focused in you. You are to
furnish the headlight to direct the
path through the dangers and Wis
cissitudes of the wilderness. For
want of vision the people perish;
for want of wise direction, they
stumble and fall.
There is no body in the world to.
day, nor in the history of the world
who have, or ever have had, great
er responsibilities or more coveted
opportunities than devolve upon
you. 1t is indeed privilege to
be a Negro of light and leading in
such a time as this. The inciden-
tai embarrassments and disadvan-
tages which, for the time being,
must be endured are not to be
compared with the far more ex-
ceeding weight of privilege and
glory which awaits you if you rise
to these high demands. For such
privilege we'll may you forego
the pleasures of civilization for a
season.
Your world consists of ten mil
lion souls, who have wrapped up in
them all the needs and necessi-
ties, powers and possibilities of
human nature; they contain all
the worms of civilization, from its
roots to its forescence. Yours is
the task to develop and vitalize
these smothered faculties and po-
tentialities. Your education will
prove to be but vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit, unless it ultimates
in this task. You are the salt of
the earth, and if the salt lose its
SAVIOUR, wherewith shall it be salt
ed? If the light within the racial
world be darkness, how great is
that darkness

ton of the world today is to the

EMANCIPATION DAY
AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE

Hampton, Va. Jan. 2--Two
thousand representative colored
people of Hampton and vicinity
gathered on New Years Day in
the Hampton Institute Gymnas-
ium, al two-thirty, to celebrate the
Forty seventh anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation. Rev.
A. A. Graham, pastor of Zion
Church, Phebus, Va, was the pre-
siding officer. The best white and
colored people came together to
hear the wonderful story of Ne.
gro progress during the years of
his freedom. The audience was
made up of prosperous-looking,
intelligent, attentive, and respon-
sive people.
The chief address was delivered
by President j. A. Cotton, of Hen
derson Normal Institute. Hender-
son, N. c., who spoke on "The Ne
gro's Opportunity for the Future"
Address of DR.. Cotton
DIR. Cotton grouped his remarks
about four topics: cash, culture,
character, and Christianity. He
emphasized the Importance of
training Negro men and women
who will prove themselv 6 depend
able and fearless in doing what is
right. He urged the colored peo-
pie to serve God Alright by helping
their fellow-men.
He declared that the Negro race
and the nation are dying for the
want of love-love that means
self-sacrifice and service which is
Christlike.
DR.. Frissell Speaks.
DIR. FL. B. Frissell, principal of
Hampton Institute, spoke elo-
quently concerning the fitness of
celebrating the anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation on
ground which has been dedicated
for over forty years to the upbuild-
ing of the Negro and Indian races
through agricultural and indus
trial training, He referred to the

excellent work which is being done
by Hampton students who have
gone out like Christian soldiers to
fight against ignorance, supersti-
ton, and sin. Where men had
given their lives for freedom, it
was fitting, he declared, that Ne
gro men and women should recon-
secraie their lives to noble service.
DIR. Frissell expressed the hope
that year by year the colored peo-
pie would gather at Hampton In
stitute and learn anew that through
great tribulation men come to their
best.
Negro Progress
Rev. A. A. Graham said that he
was glad the young people of
Hampton Institute, who are the
hope of their race, could face the
older people and hear the story of
emancipation. He outlined the
Negro's uphill climb and the mar
veious transformation in the col
ored people through less than fifty
years of freedom. lie was signifi-
cant, he declared, that on the old
battle-felds there had sprung up
institutions for the proper educa-
ton of Negro youth. He referred
with pride to the handwork of col
ored women which was on exhibit
ton at the Hampton Institute
Gymnasium and to the thirty
horse power automobile outside of
the Gymnasium which had been
built from the ground up" by a
Negro youth of Hampton.
David Owl, Cherokee Indian,
who is Hampton student, brought
the people simple, straightfor-
ward. manly message of congratu-
lation on their progress.

dent at Hampton Institute, spoke

the Negro for progress, which led
to the founding of Hampton In

Interesting Program

Institute, led a chorus of fifty yoic-
es in the singing of three selec-
tons, including FAIRY Land" and
Native Land" Rev. j. W. Patter-
son, of Hampton, offered the invo-

Washington, D. G. Jan. g.
Tired of waiting for the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives
to rescind its action abolishing
the position of assistant to the
clerk of the House, a place he had
held for more than a quarter of a
century, Aaron Russell last Sat
urday told Clerk South Trimble
that he would not return to the
Capitol to resume his labors.
The Democrats abolished Russell's
position, he being the only colored
man outside of j. E. johnson,
holding a clerksbip in Congress
when they came into power. With
a thought that the Democrat might
feel differently about the matter
later, the veteran employe kept up
his work for nearly eight months
without compensation. Russell
was consulted daily by members
of Congress, who have regarded
him as being one of the best in
formed persons relative to affairs
around the Capitol in the country.
Mr.. Russell drew salary of 81 500
per year, aud Mr.. johnson a salary
of $1,000 per year. Both of these
colored men have been dropped by
the Democrats, though no colored
man was appointed to succeed
them. Russell has not only been
regarded as one of the best inform
ed but one of the best liked men
around Congress, but the Demo-
Gratis could not and would not
stand for a Negro holding such
good position.
