MoLLISoN HIGHLY COM.
MENDS THE BROAD AK.
Chicago, Ill, August 80, 1!

Chicago, Iii, August 81, I9l7.
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor, Editor, The
Broad AK:
1 read your article regarding the
trouble at Houston and in which you
took the opportunity to say word to
the Colored soldiers who are about to
90 forth to "show the world how short
a life have calumny and SANDER"
Your article was a voice in the will
derness in this age of the rough and
uncouth. You will be criticized for ad-
vising men to be gentle of speech and
correct in their public department, for
there are men who think one should
forget all duty in the wild clamor for
the assertion of his rights. 1t is a
great thing to be free and to walk
among ones fellows unafraid as
though the blood of kings flowed in
ones veins. 1t is better to be gentle
of manner and considerable of the
rights of others on every occasion and
everywhere.
/ You are very correct in saying that
the Colored soldier is ON trial before
the world. He can make place that
will put to shame his enemies and crit
les and make good the claim of the
fondest friend. He has shown his cour-
age on a hundred battlefelds. But it
is more important that he be gentle
manly in bearing than that he add
other names to San Juan and Carrizal.
Glory has been won on many bloody
fields, but it remains to show that
man may be as brave as a lion and as
eourtly as a Chesterfield or Bayard.
If your paper had done no other
good it has won for itself the right to
the undying gratitude of a people who
are passing through the hour of trial
as they have not passed since the four
years struggle made them free to fol-
low the teachings of their patient and
polite ancestors.
You can not say it too often that
politeness is so plentiful that one can
always afford to dispense it. And the
higher the individual the better he can
afford to show the world that he pos
sesses this above all other virtues and
graces.
Thanking you for the voiceless thou
sands, am your friend and. admirer.
