our colored doughboys from thinking,

| ventions and fer big spreads and blow
outs to have bought 1000 farms and
put up some several shoe, canning and
broom factories, for the employment Of
our own. This sort of constructive,
| working program will do more towards
getting what some think are our equal
rights than all the 'sJack and Henry
Johnsons' plus all the Paris peace and
democracy delegates our leaders can
muster out Fighting is good, agitation
is good, resoluting and swearing are
good at times and in places. Study and
quiet work, and power to organize to
save and build up and command thru
material and spiritual possessions are
far better. Oh, there has been so much
waste with feathers and frills, puff
balls, self seeking and premature swell
ings, with blow ups! Too few want to
do and keep on doing hard, earnest,
honest labor work for their own inde
pendent living. But we all had better
mind and take up our own cross as
well as keep our sacred, racial tradi$
tion Of faithful service to our God and
our feliowmen. We can not copy with
impunity, the eye for an eye and tooth
for tooth, bad habits of other races,
and win We as race in America, ap-
parently denied our just rights of rep
resentation, of jury and other American
manhood services. But we have the
privilege of self determination. We
can be what we determine to be in saw
ing, using, spending. i am told that no
colored soldiers over there were so
manly, so beautiful in manners, charac-
ter, dress and address, nor were so near
ly equal to the 1000 yeared advance
Angle Saxons as the American Negro
soldiers. None were cleaner, purer,
more intelligent, even of the French or
British soldiers. All praise to our coun-
try and to our God for this. 1t shows
that after all, our American handicaps
may be devil sent, but after all these
may work out for us a far and more
exceeding glory. So let us be patient
and know that God is just, that he re-
spects his poor, and know also that mil
lions Of white Americans have hearts
and souls for justice and right to all
mankind, especially to their loyal col
ored fellow citizens and brothers with
one God the father of all. We should
be wiser and more patient than our
former enslaved parents. For Gid him
self, if we let him, will avenge all in
Justice and wrongs inflicted on his pray
ing and trusting people Of any race. He
is doing this nightly now every day.
Let us as race never doubt nor get too
hasty for shining and appearing. Rights
will come, if we get living independ-
ence sufficient, and strength Of hearts
and minds, and arms enough to take our
rights, not before.
Respectfully,

STORY OF OUR HEROES.

The Harriet Beecher Stowe Club met
Thursday, March 3, at the beautiful
home Of Mrs. N. G. Marshall, 1926 14th
iat. One Of the pleasing arrangements
jAf the program committee was the pre-
!sentatfon Of Lieut.. Taylor and sergt.
LLOYD Mcclure Of the A. f. F.
These heroes, wearing honor medals,
dignifed, courteous, modest and stately,
told us of the black man IS part in the
greatest Of all wars, and as they stood
in our midst, no one realized more than
the Harriet Beecher Stowe Club the bat
tie that our people are called upon to
fight from childhood, and we pray for
patience to await the Hand of Destiny
that guides all human affairs.
Serious, inspiring and intensely dra-
matte were the words of Lieut.. Taylor
when he addressed us thus:
I'VE fought, endured privations, sac
rifles and suffering in order that you
might have a safe place in which to
live, and now that we have helped make
the world safe for democracy, would
just as willingly die in defense of my
people, to make America safe for Amer
leans. Death is nothing, for / love my
race more than life itself, and right
over might always has and always will

said, "God bless the French women,
God 3 masterpieces of human kindness
and tenderness, and God keep France
safe, noble, heroic, democratic, France,
where a Hman's a man for a that
and where bravery, hardihood, charac-
ter and not man IS color counts.
He affectionately referred to colored
American womanhood as the Lady
Susans. - Sergt. Mcclure character
lied men and things with humor
which we will not soon forget. Els ad-
