Again and again when men
unite to some great end and
accomplish all or part of
that toward which they aim.
there arises an astonishing
and cften disreputable scram-
BILE for the honor and credit
of the accomplishment. In a
sense this is natural. lnde-
pendent enthusiasts striving
for a great end often forget
or are ignorant of others striv
ing for the same end and are
indignant or incredulous when
they do not receive what they
think is due credit. Some
thing of this unfortunate feel
ing is creeping into recent
movements in which this As
sociation has been interested.
. An extraordinary campaign
has been carried on to prevent
Congress from passing dis
criminatory legislation. That
the Sixty Third Congress has
actually adjourned without
the enactment of such laws,
and with some things like the
Howard University appropri-
alton to its credit. is an extra
ordinary tribute to the orga-
nized hRl ing strength of
Americanl Negroes. To whom
should the credit for this ac-
complishment be given? Man
ifestly to no one person or to
no one organization.
The National Association
for the Advancement Of Col
ored People would be the last
to claim sole and entire credit
for the accomplishment. In
dividuals unconnected with it
and organizations not afhliat-
ed have from time to time
joined enthusiastically tn this
campaign. Two things the
Association has an undoubted
right to claim; first; that
through its widespread organ
= ization and continual vigilance
it has been able to keep the
colored people warned, and
secondly, that through its
continual insistence upon the
value OF agitation it has
brought almost revolution
in the attitude of the colored
people during the last five
years. But after all what diff
ference does it make as to
who did the deed SO long as
the deed is done? so long as
the Negroes fight aggression,
advance their interests and
rescue the spirit Of democracy
in the United States9 Away
with littleness and jealousy:
