Perry's Little Brother.
Historians have written, poets have
sung, and artists have painted in glow
ing cOlors the stories of Perry and
Elliot, of Yarnall and Brooks, of Dob
bins and DR.. Parsons; and yet some
how strange as it may seem there is
no character in all that thrilling drama
that has for me greater fascination
than that of Alexander, Perry's Little
Brother.
I delight to read of his love and de-
votion, his loyalty and heroism; how
he was with Perry at the start from
Hartford; amid the rigors from Hart
ford to Albany; from Albany to the
Lakes; at his side when shot and shell
tore awaNNssrigging, masts and bull
warks, resulting in "a carnage I'M
parallelled in naval warfare; with him
as he passed over the port-gangway
with his fighting flag under his arm;
with him in the little boat while round
shot and grape churned the water on
every side; with him when lightly he
stepped on Niagara's deck; with him
when the intrepid, but ill-fated, Bar
clay pulled down the British fighting
flag and displayed the flag of truce;
with him when he penned the match
less message, "We've met the enemy
and they are ours"
And do you ask me why the story of
Alexander, the story of the little
Brothers" loyalty, heroism and devo-
ton possesses so great a charm for
me? Perhaps this is why: The battle
over, the victory won, Oliver Hazard
Perry enters into full enjoyment of a
soldiers and a sea captains reward.
Promotion, honors, emoluments,
country's lasting gratitude, the victor's
spoils, eternal fame are his. So with

Mr.. Chairman; Members of the Per
ry Centennial Commission; Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This is indeed a happy day!
What American heart is there that
is not stirred with feeling of National
pride and a sense Of deeper, broader
larger patriotism, as we stand here
today looking backward just one hun,
dred years.
What mighty conflict, what conquest
Of arms, what supremacy of American
seamanship and soldiery, what daring
and courage, what heroism and self
sacrifice were displayed within these
very waters a hundred years ago, all
ChristendOm knows full we'll. What
unparalleled progress and develop
ment, material, in ellectual and ethical
has been achieved during this century
Of peace, between England and Amer
lea, historians and ~schroniclers are
daily kept busy in their efforts to
record.
When on that September afternoon
the uncOnquered Perry, fresh from the
deck of the battered Lawrence, drove
his pennant to the Niagara's mast
head, cut his way through the lines
of the British Squadron, dismantled
the Detroit" shattered the "Queen
Charlotte" and forced to unconditional
surrender the entire British fleet, he
lifted above the clouds to shine in
immortal glory, not only his own for
ever honored name, but the names
also of the Lawrence" the Niagara"
the "Calcendonia," the "Porcupine,"
the Ariel" the SCORPION" the
"Tigress," the "Trippe," the "Somers,"
the "Ohio," and the 430 dauntless sea-
men who could die, but never could
give up the ship" And we gather
here on this historic spot, a hundred
years after the battles over and the
victory won, to celebrate, to commem-
crate, to rejoice, not so much in the
victory of arms, as in the triumphs
of peace; and to learn, if we may,
some lessons that will tend toward

suHerlng, any dignity in bearing the
cross, any reward for those who over

ger Brother" yea, the world, will doff
their hats to the sturdy ones of us
who against unparalleled odds have
pushed their way; who have climbed

What Fair Chance Means.
A Fair Chance signifies the Afro
americans liberty to be himself. If
ne can manouever the farm, dig the
mine, and run the engine; if he can
plead the case and treat the sick:
II he can in verse, in marble, or on
canvas, mold his thoughts in forms of
power and exquisite beauty; if he can
De the statesman and leader of men
then There Must Be No Hinderance
Placed To The Exercise Of His Tai
ents.
But the liberty which civilization
IS quite willing, theoretically at least.
to accord, almost everywhere today
involves something else which civil
lzatlon is more reluctant to grant;
that something is EQUALITY.
Industrial Equality, the opportunity
to work on fair terms, and enjoy to
the fullest the harvest of ones labor,
Educational Equality, the opportun-
lty to know the truth which like the
air belongs to all, and in that knowl-
edge to be free. It is to be lamented
that some of our best friends, at one
time began to waver as to the ex-
pedlency OF giving the Little Broth
err the higher education.
Political Equality, the opportunity
to register, to vote, to make laws, ave,
and to administer laws. The Little
brother" cannot justly be debarred
from any privileges of citizenship,
even the emoluments of office.
Social Equality, and there is a phan-
tom OF dread haunting this suggestion,
which is wholly insubstantial. Social
equality in the truest sense of the
term, means simply that all sorts and
conditions of people in this country,
must live side by side in a spirit of
mutual helpfulness and Good Will.
We cannot legislate social relation
ships; they are not determined by the
state. They are governed by other
forces than the volitions of man. They
are fixed by the laws of Nature and
of Natures God.
The Work Of Fifty Years.
Fifty years have passed since the
immortal Lincoln issued his great
proclamation of Emancipation. With
in that short space of time the Afro
American people have made good:
from the depths we have climbed to
the heights. From 100000 we have
Increased to 10,000,0O0 Beginning in
poverty we have amassed fully bill
lion dollars of property and have g.
banks owned and controlled by our
selves. From ignorance we have gone
up so that according to the last census
seventy percent of the race have wiped
out the stain of illiteracy. Colored
men have attained eminence in all of
the learned professions. The time is
too short for me to recount the
achievements of all who have written
their names high on the honor-roll.
Why! in Chicago alone there are
three Afro-Americans of world wide

Another tells of the memorable
charge when the rough riders and the
list N. Y. were pressing up the heights
of San Juan Hill and the one was
singing my Country 'Tis of Thee"
and the other the ar-Spangled-
Banner" the black regulars burst
forth with the music of their hearts.
"There'll be a Hot Time in this Old
Town Tonight"
But why multiply instances! WHY
recount the battles? American history
actually teens with the deeds of hero
ism and of valor, Of dauntless courage
and unwavering loyalty on the part
of the little Brother in the Nation.
The 100 who fought with Perry upon
these waters hundred years ago were
but part of the vanguard of that army
of American Colored men who love the
stars and stripes and who suffered
bled and died for the preservation
of this Nation.
The Height of Moral Heroism.
But it is not upon field of battle
alone that the Little Brother has
earned his need of praise. The late
Ex-Governor Northen of Georgia paid
this tribute to the Little Brother in
Black ,"While almost the entire
male population of the South was alb
sent from home in war, the women
and children were left without pro-
lection except as it was furnished by
the strong arm of the Negroes, who
were slaves upon the plantations of
the southern states. It never occurred
for a moment that there might be any
uprising or any instruction to destroy
our loved ones. We knew their at
tachment and their loyalty" Pro-
ceeding he said: "The South has
made one great mistake attributable,
I am sure to poverty and the bitter
ness engendered by reconstruction, in
failing to rear monument to the
slaves Of 1860 and 1865, for their un-
ceasing devotion to our homes and
the gallant protection they gave the
women and children of the South dur
ing the dark days of our bloody civil
strife. If anything like it has occurred
in the history of Nations I have never
read it. All honor and gratitude to
the Negro as we knew him before
and during the war;" Did Gov
Northen speak of building a monu-
ment to the fidelity of black men from
1860 to 1865? If the bones of the
countless colored men, women and
children VINO have been murdered,
lynched and burned since 1865 could
be gather together for me, I could
with them build a monument whose
apex would pierce the milky way.
In another paragraph he paid to the
Little Brother" in America this
further tribute:
Before issuing his proclamation in
September, 1862, threatening the
emancipation of the slaves the fol-
lowing January, it is matter of
record that Mr.. Lincoln, hesitated most
seriously upon taking so important a
step. Mr.. Seward had lived in the
South and he knew the conditions
that offered fearful opportunity for
massacre and blood, with the women
and children exposed to the madden
ing fury of three million angered
slaves if Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation
should stir them to instruction. This
really seemed to be the only way in
which the slave element should be
for u.s. as Mr.. Lincoln expressed it,"
mo wonder said Governor sNorthen,
mr.. Seward was appalled, No
