the Negro has always been loyal; so
much so, that, while the white man
fought to continue chattel slavery, the
Negro remained upon the plantation
raising supplies to sustain his master
while in war. That isn't all: he pro-
tected the virtue of the white mems
wives and daughters, and committed
no assaults upon them. The Negro
has fought CALAMITY in all of Amer
ica's wars. In our race there are no
Benedict Arnolds; and there are none
Of our people who have ever struck
down a president 1t is sad, however,
to say, yet it is true, when we are
fighting in the defense of the flag of
our country, we are simply protecting
the American white man, while they
lynch more Negroes. The great mis-
take which we are making is that we
fail to organize ourselves. This is the
only way we can ever be a power for
good-the Negro and democracy. We
should contend for democracy because
we fought for it, both at home and
abroad. The Presidents peace mes
sage, and league of nations, did not
overlook US because we were black.
We were considered as a part of the
great human family, who were strug-
Cling for human rights and justice.
Let us see to it that we have a seat
at the welcome table from a civic, eco
nomic, political, educational and re-
! ligious standpoint We ~can do this
by organizing and keeping ourselves
well organized. Every Negro in Amer
lea should line up on January 1, 1919,
and engage in a great emancipation
celebration. In every city, town, vii
lage or hamlet, where there are as
many as dozen Negroes, there should
be splendid literary program rem
dered. We should also engage our
selves during the year 1919 in giving
thanks to God and enjoying the cele
bration of 300 years ON American soil
In spite of the many, disadvantages
surrounding our lives, and there are
many, we can say deep in our souls,
the Lord hath done great things for
us, whereof we are glad. He has en-
abled us to surmount many of the diff
ficulties; yet there are countless num-
bers to be overcome. We can over
come them only in proportion as We
diligently seek higher ground
Take courage, brother. Do not
stumble, though the way be dark as
dark as night, There is star that
shines above you.
Trust in God and do the right"

of Mrs Millie Marshall, who departed
