giene of your own people just as
the white folks do; since they don't
mingle with you they can have no
sympathy with your ills or woes.
Yea, you must fight vice twice
as hard as white man, not be-
cause you have a monopoly in vice,
no, indeed, we know of no vice that
is characteristic of the Negro.
If there is wickedness in your
ranks, we find the same conditions
in the ranks of the white. The
white man has dishonored your
women long before they began to
accuse you of that crime. If there
are tramps in your ranks, we can
find such types among the white
too. Gambling and drunkenness
is part of the white mans civili-
zation, in fact every crime which
you are charged with, could be laid
at the door of the white folks, but
prejudice against your race makes
it more glaring when committed
by member of your color. for by
that color you are identified, and
it behooves you to fight vice more
zealously than does the white man.
If your Church falls short in the
accomplishment of that purpose,
look for other agencies who'll fight
the devil more earnestly and etfec-
lively, don't leave it to the minis
ter, who is but following corven-
tional lines of work prescribed for
them by the white gentlemen of
the cloth.
Education will prove your sal
walton. Don't tell me that your
Booker Washington, and other of
your brilliant men, in spite of
their splendid education failed to
get justice at the hands of the
white folks, they suffer for the
misdeeds of any of the least of your
brethren.
Like the Jews, your whole race
suffers for the short comings of
one, while in the main, all the ac.
cusations against them is mere
calumny.
But we have learned our bitter
lesson. We have embraced the
opportunities of education offered
us in this free country of ours,
and by this we are equipped with
strong weopon to fight our enem-
les. Russia denies us education,
thus my father LETT me no prestige
and no inheritance. The only
thing / inherited was a pair of
weak lungs, and this is worse than
no inheritance at all.

CONTINUED FROM LAST ISSUE.

CONTINUED FROM LAST ISSUE.
Negroes of America, you must
organize, don't wait for the white
man to solve your problem for you.
Do it yourself; do it know; for do
it you must. God help you, when
you shirk this duty and throw it on
\ the white mans shoulders. While
your task is hard one, you can
do it as sure as you are born.
You must meet with the econom-
ic requirements of the day, Com
merce and industry is the crowned
king of this era. The common
laborer is the poorest paid, and the
most exploited. skilled Mechanics
can enforce demands and have
unions to back them, and while
your race in this country consists
wholly of the industrial class, you
have no fair representative in craft
unions.
Mr.. Washington has already
paved the way for the attainment
of that purpose, and you must sup
port it zealously. And by so do
ing you'll prove worthy of the mar
tyrdom of John Brown and Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Your Christianity should be the
highest ethically and the purest
morally, for it came to you clean
and unpolluted at the hands OF
Lincoln, Emerson ard Wendell
Holmes. The white people have
seen Christ's teachings beIraggled
besmirched, and dishonored, all
through the dark ages, where each
generation has seen the Cross-the
Emblem of Salvation, saturated in
human blood of the non-Christians,
consequently the offspring OF
such ancestors can't be entirely
free from the barbaric dog
matism of that Christianity, but
YOU have inherited the Christian
ity of the Goth Century, the relig-
ion that made you free.
You must be true to your rellg-
ion for Christ taught universal
brotherhood, thus it is expedient
for you to practice it and by so do
ing, you point out to the white
christian, that he is false to the
religion that he taught you when
he fails to treat you>as brother.
Watch, that your education be
