| Tell you solemnly, ladies and
gentleman, we cannot postpone
Justice any longer in the United
States. We have got to have il
now, and there is only one politi-
cal fundamentally through which
we can get it. The leaders of the
Democratic party, the rank and
file of the Democratic party, the
men who are joining the ranks
for the first time, the great body
of yong voters who are flocking to
the standards of Democracy-all
have the same hope, the same i'm
pulse, the same purpose, the same
indomitable determination, that
this government shall again be
what the fathers intended that il
should be, and that men shall be
the basis of government-Mr
Woodrow Wilson, in New Jersey,
Oct. 1912, when a candidate.
Now, colored Democrats, what dc
you think of him, do you think he
can again be trusted: do you real
ly think he means colored people
too, when he spits out this fines
of rhetoricY If so, deceive your
self and go ahead and whooI
'em up for Wilson.

SETH LOW.

In the death of Seth Low, New
York City looses one of it's most
useful citizens. He was a man
born to great wealth, but he did
not waste his life in idleness and
pleasure. For more than thirty
years he was a leader in every
great civic movement undertaken
in this city and state. Under his
presidency, Columbia was devel-
oped from an old fashioned college
into one of the great universities
of the world. His whole career,
while not marked by any excepet-
ional brilliancy, was one of highest
usefulness.
And not only has New York lost
useful citizen but the colored peo-
pie have lost sincere friend.
For many years, Seth Low was
supporter of DIR. Washington's
work, and at the time of his death
was Chairman of the Trustee
Board of Tuskegee Institute.
We tender sincere sympathy to
his bereaved family.
