HON. HENRY ALLEN BOYD
RESPONDS AT MEMORIAL
OF COL. ROOSEVELT
Secretary of the Sunday School Con-
gress and Corresponding Secretary
of the National Negro Press Associ-
alton Speaks Before National Re-
publican Committee for Thirteen
Million Negroes.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-With
sign of deep emotion caused by the
occasion, Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, the
secretary of the Sunday School Con-
gress and the corresponding secretary
of the National Negro Press Associa-
ton, delivered an able address in the
National Republican Committee here
today which was in session at the
Congress Hotel. 1t was a Roosevelt
memorial meeting. There were rep
resentatives from various states in
the Union, and among the speakers
were the Governor of Rhode Island,
the Governor of Iowa, and the Gov
ernor of Wisconsin.
Rev. Mr. Boyd was the only Negro
speaker at the memorial meeting. He
paid glowing tributes to the deceased
In fact, he said, in part:
"Mr. Chairman, on behalf of thir-
teen millions of loyal American citi-
zens who have been true to every
star and stripe in Old Glory that
floats above us, wish to add our
testimony to what has already been
said about the late Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. While the Negroes did
not agree with all his policies, they
held him as an ideal man for Ameri-
canism. They revered him for the
splendid stand he took on all ques-
tions of public interest. He did not
discriminate against race, color or
previous condition of servitude. To
us he was one of the noblest Romans
of them all. He was one of the bright
est stars in the horizon, notwith-
standing it has gone down beyond the
Golden West, it is only for a time.
We believe his work will live and
that the Republican party will take
on new life and inspiration by the
examples set. He was a man, as we
knew him, who did not want the door
of hope closed in the face of any
American citizen. The Negro Press
Association of the United States,
which l also represent, wishes to pay
it's respect Our 100000 weekly cir
culation has already told the story of
the fallen hero"
