world is wide awake socially,
shall we sleep? While all
other classes and races are on
the verge of social and politi-
cal revolutions. shall we be in

groups Of oppressed! reopie

sation' is it not high time that
we should at least begin to
get on the move?
The south is still in the sad
die at our national capital,
rushing headlong with a most
reckless disregard for the
feelings and rights of ten mil.
lions Of loyal. but oppressed
Colored Americans.
FLING OUR STANDARD:
Therefore, let us get togeth

grievances and of our earnest

Let al! OF our great religious
organizations and lodges and
benevolent societies begin
now to plan to be represented
in this proposed congress.
BY so doing We cannot fail to
produce a powerful effect on
the public mind that will great
ly help us in our struggle for
for justice and freedom.
This congress will be inde-
pendent and wider than any

NATIONAL
RACE CONGRESS ON
CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS

Hlllburn, N. Y, Fellow
Comrades and Fellow Citi-
zens of Color:
By the authority vested in
me as president of the Nation
al Equal Rights League l
hereby issue this preliminary
call for the ninth annual con
vention of said league.
The matter of the exact
date and place for the con-
vention is notyet quite settled
but it is very timely and pro-
per that there be no further
delay in inviting public atten-
ton to the fact that such a
convention is to be held, and
within the next sixty days.
NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS
1t has been wisely suggest
ed in view of existing unfav-
orable social. civic and politi-
cal conditions confronting US
as a people, that the National
Equal Rights League invite
and urge all Of our people. in
all sections of the country, to
unite in a great National
congress of Colored Emeri-
cans and for the special pur-
pose of voicing the feelings
and opinions of the race on
those unfavorable conditions
now surrounding US in this
country; and also to decide
upon the wisest and best
methods for combating color
segregation and all other
| forms Of color discrimination.
EXTRAORDINARY WRONGS SUI
FERED.
After fifty years ofso-c called
freedom in this country, what
is the prevailing condition of
our Colored- American popu-
lation' Briefly stated it is
this: Our civil rights have
been rendered almost futile;
we are shamefulIy curtailed
politically; we are denied equ-
allty before the law; we are
not allowed equal industrial
opportunities: our property
and our very lives are not at
all secure; and "the black hor-
rors of lynching' innocent
Colored Americans continue
unabated. While our Feder-
al. Governments indiffer-
ence towards all these Unjust
ices is but little less than the
notification OF our great war
amendments. Throughout the
southland. and to more or less
extent in the north, the in
creasing millions of our fellow
Colored Americans are being
more and more reduced to
the pitiable condition of po-
litical serfs and social outcasts
CAN WE BE UNMovED?
If such conditions do not
stir our souls and our blood |
what under heaven can do it
Do not the industrial oppor-
denied us, the free
dom Of speech and of the
press not allowed. the civic |
and political rights taken
from us, and the insecurity of
property and life that sur |
rounds us, give sufi cient
ground and reason for the
calling of such a NationaICon

FAST ROAD RECORDS
MADE BY CAD|LLACS
Stock Eight Models Win Against
Time and Fast Trains in
Various Sections.

Repeatedly, in various parts OF the
country, stock models OF the Cadillac
Eight have set fast road records, rae
ing against time and against railroad
trains. over dangerous mountain roads
and level plains. One of the early
achievements was last June. when one
OF these cars was driven from Los
Angeles to San Francisco in competi-
ton with the Southern Pacthc's fast
est train between the two cities. known
as the Lark; Most OF the Cadiliacs
at an average speed of better than
iorty miles per hour over dangerous
mountain roads. The train was beaten
by marsin OF hour and S5 minutes;
Soon afterward came word Of the
cars feat in beating by almost
hours the time over the l25 miles from
Butte to Missoula. Mont. In the Vel
lowstonce Trail relay run. This dis,
minutes. at an average speed of 1913
miles an hour. as against the best
previous motor car record OF 8 hour "
In quick succession followed the race
from Denver to Cheyenne between a
Union Pacific special train and Cad
illace Eight, the train travelling III
miles to the cadillae's ils miles Never. Never.
before the train. having averaged
about ffty miles np hour to make the
run in hours, II rninuteA
Next, Indiana came In with the usual
result-fast train beaten by a Cadillac
Eight. This was between indianapolis
and Terre Haute, the car making the
seventy-two miles in n minutes. against
VI minutes for tho train.
Another California achievement OF re-
cent date was the Los Angeles Bakers
neld round trip In hours 10 minutes
for the 26O miles. breaking the record OF
a twelve-cylinder car over the same
route by hour and "a minutes.
Opposed to all these records OF high
speed. and emphasizing the ability OF
the car. Is the slow speed, high gear

miles per hour for LII feet, requiring

and the driver left his seat and walked
