MODERN MARTYRS

Dreamers may the fading lights of past
martyrs History record their deeds in blazing letters
They be enshrned within the of hearts,
but they belong to yesterday and the past
the present, the everabsorbing, that The
issues the times complicated and abyrnthan
devote suffering humanity
and les everyday problem. We believe in the beautiful
phraze of Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, pitiless publicity
The principles of selfsacrfce and abnegaon have been
from immemorabe the cardinal virtues of mankind The
whole scheme nature emphasizes the spirit OF sacrifice
The gradually but surely contracting itself into
that the earth may have light
heat The mountains give the in order that
valleys may become rich and fertile. The the
the linen costs the flax and continually through the
whole phenomena of nature the spirit of seacrce stands
forth the salient and predominant element
The affairs of absolutely analogous to natures
progression The element of sacrifice essential to the safety
of human desire The world cries for sacrifice The mystic
of cosmetic creation has made Indispensable The
who have fought ideals and principles and have died
for hem have been spled The death be phys
cal dissolution social ostracism be political and fnan
ca jeopardy Nevertheless the and vital element of
tyrdom the fearless abandonment of seadvancemen
the subrogation of others instead.
The greatest of modern martyrs challenge the world
deny. contradiction We sing their
praises with prayeru Haleah We their epah
hearts. THE GREATEST OF MARTYRS ARE THE
GENTLEMEN WHO COMPOSED THE SPECIAL GRAND
JURY WHO CONDUCTED THE BILLS AGAINST THE
RIOTERS IN CHICAGO; AND THE GRANDEsT ROMAN OF
ALL is MR.. ALBERT E. PICK, A CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN
WITH HEART OF GOLD WHICH STOOD THE ACID TEST.
The world seemed fire. Through its nosrls the dis
of abnormal reaction seemed oth The teeth of
America set edge The of her black and white
denzens blaze dabolica hatred another
The call of for national racial clashes whsp
cred The of the black "We danger The
cry of the white "He is unfit He be crushed!"
The jaws of national leaders had been locked by the
hand of Southern propaganda and pasty affiation.
The clash in Washington, the Negro fought back, the
kaleidoscope Chicago The city, which neither
west but where the contwain Chicago, the most
gressive of Negroes THE EYES OF THE WORLD WAS
TURNED ON CHICAGO. THE NATIONAL PRECEDENT
WOULD BE SET. The whole Negro trial for riot
ing Had the Negro become hoodums? Had the
given itself to anarchy and roting? Where jusce
Which would the balance of fair play swing?
The Negro had been ynched and burned the South jim
crowed in France and segregated and Disseminated the
North. He agtated His back wall! He
showing his teeth Would the law protect the
saughts of white hatred? Would he be given justice when
attacked? Must he fight? The of The fate Of
America hung in suspense

QUESTION. JUSTICE TO ALL! BRING IN WHITE OF
