ARE WE A RACE OF oowARDs7

No race of people IN the history of
civilization ever endured a leadership
of more eensummate towards than the
Negroes. The average Negro is cow
ard in his own esteem. Void of self
respect, appreciation or manly resent
ment. he submits to every indignity,
with apology, the White man infiets
upon him. When we speak of towards,
We do not mean physical towards, but
moral and intellectual towards. The
coward who hasn't the moral courage
90 resent a wrong. The coward who
submits to every indignity imposed
upon him by cowardly newspapers; the
coward who accepts every Jim-Crow se-
commodation offered. If the Negro
preacher, leader, pulpit and platform
orator would teach their people to de-
Gently and respectfully decline to pat
roniZe those White business and enter
prises that insult their womanhocd and
manhood, it wouldn't be long before in
suits and indignities heaped upon the
race because of its color would grow
beautifully less. If the Negro preacher
would tell his congregation, that a man.
ly and self-respectlng race pride would
not permit Us to accept accommodation
IN the buzzard-roOst, in the atties and
lofts Of White men theatres, it would
not be long before the buzzard-roost,
atties and Jim-Crow places in White
theatres would be cut out, for the rea-
son they would have no business. For
the reason q White man has the intelli-
gence and keeness Of foresight not to
operate a business that does not pay.
If the Negro preacher would teach his
congregation from his pulpit each Sun
day and the orator from the platform,
not to read White paper that endorses
outrages against the race, that perpe-
+ trated and circulated indignities and
wrongs upon our man and womanhood,
it wouldn't be long before the White
papers would cut out that part Of their
policy, for the reason, every White
paper in the South is largely read by
Negro constituents, and their adver-
tising rates are based upon circulation.
The Jew viii not read a paper that
is hostile to Jews. The German cuts
out every paper that antagonizes and
fights his nationality. The Irishman
resents with all Of his hot blood In.
suits heaped upon his race by news.
papers and other nationalities. The
Jap resents with all of his soul, with
al Of his might, every wrong done him
because Of his race, his color or his con
dition.
There is nobody a coward but the
Negro; there is no race 50 divided
against itself and is such q consummatC
band Of boOtlieks, towards and syee
plants as black educated leaders. What
We need most is a manly leadership
one fun Of moral courage and intellee
tual bravery. No bully, no insulter
but . man who has the intelligence and
the Christian manhood to resent decent
" and manly, wrongs heaped upon th'
race. A man who defends the race oi
indignities that they ought not to en-
dure, and how they may rid themselves
Of the agencies that seek to crush and
undo It. Let rs have q manly race
and we can only have q manly race b!
manly leadership. Let the pulpit and
the platform do their duty, and al
