will so find when the matter is aired
in court. The New York brethren
have no recourse save the court,
and the Subcommittee, having act
ed, they are free now to have the
action of the Sub Committee re-
viewed, and it. is opportune that
they should enter court and ask for
damages, making the Sub Commit
tee party to the litigation.
The Noel people are going to win
because the Subcommittee acted
without authority; it had no right
to postpone the meeting, and the
action in postponing the meeting
was simply for the purpose of per-
petuating themselves in office. So
let the public hold its opinion until
the courts act and decide who are
the legally elected officers; and the
Independent has no doubt in it's
mind but that the Noel people will
be recognized.-Atlanta Independ-

battlescarred members of Colonel HayWard's
famous Negro regiment, by all accounts second

rounding up the Hun. The lady of the Barthold
statue with her torch held gloriouSly aloft had
benignantly gazed upon them. The dusky he
roes must have done a little thinking as they re-
turned the gaze.
They were glad they We're back, as their shin

love America. They hope on that the sun of
the day of justice and equality will yet rise

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE

Among the organizations established for the
advancement and protection of coored Ameri-
cans, there are none doing more good than the
n A. A. c. P. Its headquarters are in New
York City; its president is Judge Moorfield
Storey of Boston, Mass, one of the greatest
constitutional lawyers in this country; its secre-
tary is Hon. John r. Shady, man of great
intelligence and ability and believes thoroughly
in the possibilities and future of colored Amer-
cans He is not only in thorough sympathy
with them but is interested in all movements
which look for their betterment.
In proof of the splendid work they are doing,
we cite few great things it has accomplished,
for it would be impossible in so short space as
used in these columns to recount the many
things which have been done for the ameliOra-
tion and uplift of colored Americans. The AS
ISOLATION did much to suppress the giant evil of
segregation-they helped to bring suits into the
courts and to carry them successfully through
the Supreme Court of the United States, which
declared them unconstitutional.
They have been unceasing in their drive
against mob violence of every form. They have
taken up nnumerable cases of lynchings with
the governors of the States and caused them to
institute Investigations which they otherwise
would not have done.
Now, in view of the great good they have ac-
complshed for the race and for the country,
and in view of the great campaign they have
Waged against all forms of determinations and
abridgements of the rights of colored Ameri-
cans, it is the duty of every colored man and
woman who have spark of race PRIDE to show
their appreciation by becoming a member OF
this great beneficient society. 1t is to the Ne
gro people of this day what the abolition society
was to them before the Civil War and no coored
citizen, nor any citizen, whether white or color
ed, with love of humanity, love of God and love
of country should hesitate to become one of its
members 1t is not only a Christian, but pa
triotic duty, and every man and woman who be-
lieves in liberty and justice will not hesitate
The membership fee is only $1.00 per year, and
out of the twelve million Negroes in his coun-
try, and all people who believe in fair play it
ought to have a membership of not less than
seven or eight million, which would mean seven
or eight million dollars to tight for equal rights

throughout these United States.-Atlanta indie
