and sweat of ones brow"

The advice of Mr.. Howell may APP
pear keen and piercing at first sight,
but re-reading will convince any
thoughtful Negro that is proper de-
liverance, and comes from one who is
a real friend to the race, no matter
what his former attitude may have
been, and show that great change
is coming over the leading men of
the South.
The matter is re peated here so that
the Negro leaders may be reminded of
a duty which they owe to themselves,
and to the race, and pass it down the
line until a gradual cure sets in for
the defects pointed out by the Editor
Of the South's leading journal.
We know that there are many thou.
sand Negroes to which this does not
apply, and yet there are many more
thousands whoes photographs could
not have been better taken, and
these are heavy weight on the race,
and the community at large.
Let our leaders awake and make an
effort to free the race from the ter
rible manacle which binds so many of
the unsuspecting and thoughtless
ones.
e. G. Morris.
The above comment is by DR.. e. G..
Morris, Pres. Natl Baptist Convention,
one Of the recognized leaders, perhaps
the leading Negro in America today.

EDITOR CLARK HoWELL'S AD-
VICE.
Says Negro 10 But Half Free-Neoro
His Own Emaneipator. A
Wise Delivery.

Mr.. Clark Howell, the Editor Of the
Atlanta Constitution in a recent is.
sue of that paper gave this significant
advice to the Negroes.
1.-THE Negroes of the South and the
Nation generally are celebrating the
year of the bi-centenary Of the pro-
clamation of emancipation. In these
ceremonies the good wishes Of all
thoughtful white men will go out to
the Negroes. The Negro has made
wonderful progress since emancipa-
ton, but the greater and more per-
manent emancipation is yet to came.
We believe it is dawning. We hope
so. For with the swiftness and COM
pleteness with which It is material
lied depends the salvation of the Ne
gro in America, and very largely the
white race throughout America, no
less than in the Southern States. We
refer to emancipation from vice, dis
ease, shiftlessness, contempt for con-
tractual obligation, crime, scorn of
humble beginnings, an educational
system that still educates the one but
measurably neglects the ninety and
nine. 1t was possible for Lincoln at
the stroke Of pen, to strike the ma
terial shackles from the Negro. It
will require the process Of time and
painful, agonizing efforts, to strike
these other shackles besides which
the letters that manacled hands and
feet are inconsiderable. The effort
must be aided by the white man. But
the initiative, and the patient, faithful
plodding must come from the Negro
himself and from his leaders. Unless
the Negro masters these shackles Of
freedom they are going to master him.
Vice is gnawing at his vitals. Dis
ease is undermining his racial struct-
ure. Shiftlessness Is keeping him
poverty-stricken. Contempt for pledge
is increasing the difficulty Of secur-
ing employment. Crime is dragging
down some of his best racial material.
The mania to begin at the top is cut
ting him off from dwindling oppor-
tunity. His faulty education system
is equipping the one exceptional Ne
gro but letting the average ninety
and nine 60 to pot.
It is therefore, a good time for the
Negro who would serve his race and
it's future to preach the sharp distinc-
ton between--emancipation affected
by the pen and emancipation which re-
sists all effort save that of the blood

ADVOCATES EQUAL JUSTICE.
What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.

What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.
The news from Washington that the
effort to segregate the colored and
white clerks in the federal depart
ments is checked If not ended must
cause to rejoice every one who be-
neves in fair play and the square deal
says Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
Of the New York Evening Post, in a
lengthy article in the Philadelphia
Press Jan. 2. He says:
Particularly to supporters Of the
woodrow Wilson administration, like
myself, is the news welcome, for this
attempt to draw caste lines in the
very heart Of the government of the
greatest Of democracies, founded upon
the principle that all are born free and
equal, constituted grave blot upon
Mr.. Wilson's record, besides laying
him open to the charge Of preaching q
new freedom" but practicing new
slavery" for those upon whom divine
Providence in its wisdom has bestowed
dark skins.
But If we can rejoice over this 10
versal Of bad federal policy, to oul
shame be 1t said that segregation goes
on apace elsewhere. Nine southern
cities have voted to establish the
ghetto on American soil, though Au
gusta, to its credit, has Just voted
down this cruel and un-American
proposition.
It is a policy dictated by the most
selfish Of considerations, for 1t would
make the progress Of a race In an
urban community depend upon land
values. For once the commonest ex.
cuse for holding the Negro down-the
false cry Of race purity and Of social
equality-is put aside In favor Of this
new proposition that the Negroes
must be confined to a given quarter
lest by going elsewhere they depreciate
the property Of whites.
Thus It is laid down that II q colored
man would rise and secure for his
children better light, better air, bet
ter home In less crowded and more
sanitary quarters, he is thereby COM
hitting a social crime; that we must
prevent his carrying out an ambition
which we applaud in every other
American. be he Jew or gentle. Ar
menian or Russian or Pole or German
or pure American.
We reprobate II In the Negro as II
mere contact with him were leprous.
We can all sympathize with those
whose property suffers in value by
reason Of color prejudice. but the
whole history of our cities tells Of the
ruination of aristocratic quarters by
the influx of trade or Of masses Of i'm.
migrants. Sudden changes in value
are what every one faces who buys
urban property. Losing money ought
surely never to be an excuse for put
ting extra burdens on race already
heavily disadvantaged.

President Mckinley said:
My friends and fellow citizens, the
settlements Of that war must stand

and the inflexible decree Of a nation
OF free men. They must not be mis-
interpreted, they must not be NULL
Ned, they must not be weakened or
shorn Of their force under any pretext
whatever, but must be acquiesced in
freely In every part Of the republic,
without reservation or voidance or
evasion.
1t must not be equality and justice
In the written law only. 1t must be
equality and justice In the laws ad-
ministration everywhere, and alike ad-
ministered in every part of the repub-
lie to every citizen thereof. II must
not be the more cold formally Of con-
stitutional enactment. 1t must be
living birthright, which the poorest
and humblest may enjoy, and which
the richest and most powerful dare
not deny.
Our black allies must neither be de-
serted nor forsaken. And every right
secured them by the constitution must
b surely given to them, as If God had
put upon their faces the color Of the
Anglo-Saxon race. They fought for
the dag in the war, and that flag. with
al It represents and stands for, must
secure them every constitutional right
In peace.
At Baton Rouge the first regiment
Of the Black brigade, before starting
for Port Hudson, received at the
hands Of It's white colonel-C Colonel
Gtafford-its regimental colors in q
speech from the colonel. which ended
with this Injunction:
'Color bearer, guard, defend, protect,
die for, but do not surrender those
colors."
10 which the sergeant replied, and
he was as black as my coat:
Colonel, I'll return those flags to
you In honor, or I'll report to God the
reason why"
He fell, MORALLY wounded, In one of
those desperate charges in front Of
Port Hudson. with his face to the enc
my, with those colors in his clinched
nst pressed upon his breast He did
not return the colors, but the God
above him knew the reason why.
Against those who fought on the other
side In that great conflict we have no
resentment; for them we have no bit
tsrness. We would impose upon them
no punishment: we would inflict upon
them no indignity. They are our
brothers.
We would save them, even from
humiliation. But I will tell you what
We insist upon, and we will insist upon
Il until II is secured-that the settle
ment made between Grant and Lee at
Appomattox. which was afterward en-
bodied in the constitution of the Unit
ed States. shall be obeyed and respect
ed In every part Of this Union. More
We have never asked; less we will not
have.

over the liquor traffic; our women
were found poorly represented in the
great organization Of the National

To forestall such a calamity, we
are calling for volunteers all over the

January I, 1914, has been set apart

are interested In the weIIbeing Of the

which the white mans civilization has
forced upon US.
