Any person, who seeks honor or

patriotic effort. 1t is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear
the Nations burden without COM
plant This is no time for obstruc-
tionists. Those who have grievances
may complain, in order that better
progress may be made. The Stacker
and chronic kicker is always detri-

proper authorities will always COM

to do his share to win this war. There

We have never known two injus.
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be.
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone of half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with white man
when q question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne.
gro race do identically what they con.
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

Dear Fellow Colored Americans:
The National Liberty Congress
which recently convened in the city

its avowed aim and object, viz: ITO

Expressed In plain uncompromis.
Ing English, our just grievances
were brought squareIy before the
House Of Representatives, and before
the American people, by said Liberty
Congress, and were made pron1in.
ent and permanent part Of the Con.
gressional' Records. (June 20, 1918.)
It seems providentially fortunate
therefore, that this noteworthy
achievement on the part of the Lib.

the city of Chicago.
= Our League Is to convene in one
Of the most wide-awake political and
social centres in the United States
and during most critical period in
the worlds conflict. From this i'm
portant centre we shall urge our peo'
pie to remain loyal to our country
and to the cause of humanity. We
mean to stand by Old Glory to the
death; we intend also to contend to
the death, If need be, for an equal
share In that same democracy for
which 90 many thousands of brave
CoIored Americans are cheerfulIy pour
ing out their life's blood. To secure
these blessings to ourselves we must
organize quickly those who are pro-
scribed seeking to combat proscrip.

Therefore, let us get together for
organization as race to enforce our
claims to world democracy. Every
church, civic, educational. .fraternal,
political and business organization
among our people, without regard to
sect, sex or party, are invited to be
represented in the Chicago conven-
ton by one, two or several delegates
to deliberate on the organizing of
our race for self-defense. An espe-

purpose of sending delegates to this

Let every community join this Col

us as race get ready to enforce
our claim to World Democracy as an
issue of this world war.
Yours for democracy now,
