Defends Public Holiday.

In some quarters where it was sup.
posed the criticism would reflect upon
me, there has been measureless com
plant against the public holiday whic
was declared in honor of the fiftieth
anniversary of freedom in this coun-
try, because it was being celebrated
by this people.
while 1t is an honor to have even
a small part in such a patriotic move
ment, l am not entitled to all the cred.
il. The city council of the administra.
ton preceding mine provided by ordi-
nance for the holiday. and l was mere.
ly carrying out their mandate in is
suing the proclamation.
This is not an apology on my part,
but rather an expression of regret
that I had such a small part in the
proceeding.
"If the 800 years experience of
this people in this country don't en-
title them to one public holiday, then
let us abolish public holidays as fool.
ish and meaningless because this par
ticular one celebrates the emancipa-
ton of 1900. 900 human beings from
bondage.
What of His Critics?
Criticisms such as those enumerat-
ed are unAmerican and have NJ place
in this land of freedom and opportu.
nifty. If inquiry were made concern
ing the nativity of these critics it
would probably be found that a num-
Der of them had come, or their imme-
date ancestors had come, to this coun-
try to escape tyranny and oppression
in some foreign land and to find oppor.
tunity in this land of the free, and,
having found it, would shut the door
in the faces of others.
1T is easy to understand the atti-
tude of our own citizens of Southern
ancestry, who feel obliged to %denounce
the negro in order to justify the ques-
tionable acts of their forefathers, but
such sentiments are entirely inexcus-
able when spoken by the children of
oppression from any place in the wide
world.
ITO deny equal opportunity to the
negro in this land would be out of har-
mony with American history, untrue
to the sacred principles of liberty and
