FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY YEAR
OF FREEDOM.
Clerk.

Julius F. Taylor, Editor The Broad Ak,
ChieagO:-
As YOU know, this is the Fiftieth An
niversary Year of our freedom. 1 very
much hope that there may be a general
disposition on the part of our people
everywhere to fttingly celebrate this
occasion. Some time ago, you may re-
member, 1 published the statement
which follows with reference to this
matter, and beg again to bring it to
your attention. Whatever 1 wrote at
that time was to this effect:
After consultation with a number of
the leading men and women of our race,
1 have taken upon myself the respOn-
sibility of asking our people to devote
the week of October 10 to 26 to the
celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary
of our freedom.
Something has already been done,
however, in several parts of the eoun-
try, towards carrying into effect the
plan already suggested for local eele-
bratiOns. In order that these various
local celebrations may be carried out
harmoniously and in such a way that
each local celebration will contribute
to a national total, the following rec
concentrations are submitted:
(1) That October 1926, 1918, be
known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week.
(2) That schools, churches and all
other societies and organizations in ev-
cry part of the United States, where
there is a considerable number of our
people, unite and cooperate for the
purpose of holding local celebrations
that shall reeite our progress in COM
mereial, professional, intellectual, NOR
al and religious directions. An effort
should be made to secure the strongest
and most representative men obtainable
as speakers.
1t is my earnest hope and desire that
the above suggestions be read before
the various churches, lodges and other
organizations of our people, to the end
that the Fiftieth Anniversary Week of
Freedom shall be generally observed
everywhere.
We must depend, of course, upon our
newspapers to bring this matter to the
attention of the COlOred people, if any
large number Of them is to be reached
I very much hope you viii heartily CO.
operate with, and give full publicity to
this effort.
Sincerely yours,

THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN
NEGRO.
Concluded from page 1.

fronting each other in open conflict
the one contemptuous, confident of be-
ing in the right and determined; the
other race determined, desperate and
revengeful. But that moment must
never arrive.
1t is absurd to blame the South for
slavery. Slavery came to this country
when it was recognized everywhere as
proper and was salutory to both slave
and master. 1t grew impereeptibly into
an institution. Through an accident of
invention almost over night it became
a necessity to the welfare of the cot
ton raiser. Before that the sentiment
of the South was against it. In 1861,
with one blow, the property and pros
perity of the Southern states were
crushed. Put yourself in the Southern
er's place. His attitude today would
be your attitude under like eircum-
stances. 1t is our attitude in the North,
only differing in degree, not in kind.
But the time has come for big, brave
men and women, North and South, to
do something. hold no brief for the
Negro. recognize his many faults.
The traits inbred and inbred again
through generations cannot be gotten
out of the blood in a day. Ali 1 ask
for him is justice simple justice. No
body is seeking for freedom of social
intercourse with the Negro-he himself
knows that impossible. But believe
that unreasoning prejudice should not
prevent any woman or man in this
country from filling any position he
is able to fiIl-that every citizen may
have freedom to freely use every gift
with which God has endowed him.
There is only one cure for this evil,
and that is the fine eternal Heaven
sent panacea for every social ill
pure, even-handed justice. The solu-
tiOn of the problem is not impossible.
Some one has said that looking history
through evil is only good in the max
ing. As Emerson says, Through the
years and the centuries, through evil
agents, through toys and atoms a great
and benefeent tendency irresistibly
streams"
The South had the question settled
once and the North unsettled it. I
think the, highest minded, finest ma
tured people in the world today live in
this country below the Mason and Dix
On's line. I sometimes think that the
Oak of American manhood and the
Rose of American womanhood grow
best there. Their point of view is at
present almost the irresistible attitude
of their history and situation. Still,
it is terribly unjust and therefore, tenn
pOrary.
1 propose three things: First, that we
try to rid ourselves Of unjust prejudiees
against the Negro, that heavy task ae-
complished; second, that we strive to
influence our fellow citizens in the
same direction; third, that we shall
endeavor to obtain National Commits
sion composed mostly of white men
North and South, to take evidence and
devise remedies for this impossible sit
uation

Lewis Fathers Plan To Fire En-
ployes in Marshal's and Revenue Col
lector's Onices In Illinois.

Washington, D. C.-About 400 civil
service employees in the Office of the
United States marshal and collector Of
internal revenue in Illinois will be
thrown out of Office and replaced by
Democratic politicians under the ex-
emptiOn provision enacted by congress.
This number is estimated by Senator
Lewis, who was instrumental in for
mulating the provision as an amend
ment to the urgent deficiency apprOp-
ration bill.
The exemption is contrary to the rec
Ommendation Of the civil service com
mission and is disliked by President
Wilson. The advocates Of the merit
rule viii ask the president to veto the
bill, which lets down the bars Of the
