100000 people satisfaction, in Gods
name what will it take to make them
fight?
AS for me and those that think
with me, so long as one black man in
the United States is illegally punished
or unjustly treated or has the door of
opportunity closed in his face we will
protest and complain and protest
again whether the world wants to hear
us or not. We may not gain our ends.
We may not in our days realize our
ideals. But the program l lay before
you is not only reasonable and just,
but 1t Is a program of peace and pa.
thence, and in laying it down l face
the awful fact that in this as in all
great causes, if peace and patience
cannot win, then war and struggle
must. In any case there can be no de.
spa1r, there can be no surrender, there
can be no. defeat as long as a colored
man draws breath in America"

WALLER AGAINST "NEGRo"
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says 1t Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(FrOm Amsterdam News

Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News.)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on recent editorial discour-
aging the use of the word NEGRO"
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
ize that it is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both, physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. It's
use is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
Do Bots and Washington feel that it's
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses The
term Negro" is not only absurdly in
accurate as applied to millions of COL
ored people, but it is also alarminly
Injurious for the following reasons:
a. 1t has never stood historically or
in the present, anywhere in the world,
for anything noble or uplifting. Most
high-grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Sene gam
bians only. ....'...
c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Ne-
grofy," and it's compounds, Negro-head,
Negro-hy, Negro-monkey, are all clear
ly, in their associations, degrading.
d. It's feminine form, "Negress," is
justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, If you favor the use of the mas
culine term.
e. 1t has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries,
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race. For when he
speaks of the worthy he invariably
says "colored"
f. 1t is not differentiated in the mind
and thought of the whites from their
favorite and generally used (among
themselves) terms, "Nigro" and mig
ger" 80,
g. AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat it has an unquestioned in
f1uence in cutting us off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
of the millions of colored Africans, Ash
atics and Islanders of the Yonder
world. -
Very truly yours, h.: :"t-

THE NEW ABOLITION,

The National Association for the Ad-
vacement of Colored People came as
direct result of the Springfield riots
of 1908. After several conferences it
was organized and permanent head
quarters opened in November 1910
The growth of the organization has
been phenomenal. Today it has fifty
branches throughout the country and
1000 members and the crisis, edited
by DR.. w. E. B. Dubois has reached
a circulation of over 35,000
The platform of the association is
broad but uncompromising. The Off
cial statement contains among other
thinks the following strong statement
and demands:
"The National Association For the
Advancement of Colored People seeks
to uplift the colored men and women
of this country by securing to them
the full enjoyment of their rights as
citizens, justice in all courts and equal
ity of opportunity everywhere It ia
vors and aims to aid every kind of
education among them save that which
teaches special privilege or preroga-
tive, class or CASTE. It recognizes
the national character of the race
problem and no sectionalism. It be-
lieves in the upholding of the constitu-
ton of the United States and it's
amendments, in the spirit of Abraham
Lincoln. 1t upholds the doctrine of
all men up and no man down. It
abhors Negro crime, but still more the
conditions which breed crime and,
most OF all, the crimes committed by
mobs in the mockery of the law or by
individuals in the name of the law.
1t has no other belief than that the
best way to uplift the colored man is
the best way to aid the white man to
peace and social content. It has no
other desire than exact justice and no
other motive than humanity"
The proposed program for the adj
vance of the colored people has been
laid down by DR.. w. E. B. Dubois:
I'VE need not waste time by seeking
to deceive our enemies into thinking
that we are going to be content with
q half loaf or by being willing to lull

SECRETARY DANIELS LATEST PICTURE.
1dent Wilson's Inauguration. Between
Jan. 1 and March 4, 1913, President
Taft dispatched q number Of smaller
warships to Mexican and Central
American waters. Immediately Mr..
Wilson became president turmoil al
most throughout Central America and
Mexico began to develop into open
warfare
No sooner had a few ships been dis
patched to thaseast and west coasts OF
Mexico than dyovble began in venezu-
ella. A. revolution over in the western
part of Venezuela, said to have been
instigated by General Cipriano Castro,
former president and dictator Of that
country, got well under way before the
Washington authorities took cogni.
zance of it. lat once two warships
were dispatched to the Venezuelan
coast. Almost at the same time the
cork popped from the bottle the Taft
administration had closed up in Mica.
ragua, and it was necessary to send
warships to the east and west coasts
Of Nicaragua, also to maintain the de.
tachment Of marines at Managua. the
capital of Nicaragua. ....
Hardly had the anchors on the YES
sells ordered to Nicaragua been hoisted
when a loud explosion was heard in
Santo Domingo. A revolution had bro
ken out there for the second time in
less than year. Down to Dominican
waters rushed two gunboats. Upon
their arrival it was learned that in the
adjoining republic, Haiti, revolution
also was under way, and wireless or
ders sent two cruisers scurrying down
there. ... 49,.
The details of this service will be
laid before congress this winter when
the navy department is called upon to
report the operations Of the fleet in an
effort to obtain additional ships and
men. 1t is the purpose of Secretary
Daniels to inform congress that the
long service Of the ships in tropical and
semitropical waters necessitated the
placing Of several other vessels in re-
serve because of the insufficient mum
Der of men with which to man all the
ships. He will tell congress the navy
Is short now something like $1,000 en-
listed men and 100 officers and that in
year from now If no increase Is al
lowed the navy will be short about
$4,000 men and about ITS officers.

Terre Haute, Ind. - Dan Mccarthy,
aged sixty-one years, calmly waited
for arrest when the police were sum-
moned to house by burglar alarm
over a telephone. He stood in the hall,
making no effort to escape. Later he
explained that he acted as he did in
order to give his pal, who was up
stairs, chance to escape
The pal, he said. was only boy, the
son of Chicago saloon keeper. and
the old man did not wish the young
ster caught dead to rights" which
would mean prison term. He said
that he had served so many terms he
did not mind another one.
In the city court he said he did not
wish lawyer and waived examina-
ton, speaking as one acquainted with
court procedure. He was bound over
to the circuit court, where. he says, he
will plead guilty. He talked freely
about his career. telling of his various
prison experiences.
