A SQUARE DEAL FOR The NEGRO
THIS SPEECH DEL IVERED BY HORACE NJ HAW-
KINS, JR, IN observation-disclosures
ORATORICAL CONTEST, MONDAY,
MAY D. 1921

this man, whose only fault is black
skin, coupled with the apparent mis-
fortune of being an American citizen
fails to come up to those standards
which we have chosen for ourselves
and would thrust upon him?
The Negro did not seek entrance to
this country of his own accord. He
was compelled to come and little would
he be to blame did he harbOr hatred
for the United States, seeing, as he
does, privileges granted to foreigners
which he, an American citizen by
birth, is denied. And yer we call
America the land of equality.
On every side we hear cries to edu-
. cate the Negroes, to teach them some
thing worth while, and that then they
will be accepted on a par with the 9th
err races of the world. There is col
ored man in this very city of Denver
who is as honest and upright man as
it has ever been my privilege to meet.
He was Il soldier in the Boar war. He
is graduate of oxford University,
speaks seven languages and is man
of exceptional intelligence. He is ca
pable of filling Il responsible position,
but today he is raking leaves in City
park. There is no responsible position
open to him, not because he is not II
good citizen, not because he is unintel-
lieent. not because his moral standards
are low, but simply because his skin
is black.
Is it the Negro, then, who needs ed
ucating? We have not Disseminated
against the other peoples of the world
on account of their ignorance. Rather
let us say that it is the great American
public that needs educating. When
the people of the nation realize that
square dealing is the first essential of
peaceful cooperation, then, and then
only, will the racial differences be
quieted, and the racial elements recon-
ciled Fairness, my friends, is the
"conditio sine qua non" of harmony.
An so, by the exercise of the Cold
en- rule, let us hasten the day when the
word n-i-g-g-e-r is obsolete, and the
United States is truly united people,
whose citizens are one in privilege, one
in thought, and one in the eyes of the
world.

DISPERSES KLAM
Authority of North Caro-
Imam Attacked by Mem
bers of Imperial
Council.

Greensboro, n. c., Aug 5.-Maj.
Bruce Craven of Trinidad today de
clared the Ku KluX Klan in North Car
oIina, "of which l am the supreme
head in this state, disbanded ana
abandoned, every organized khan ended
and every klansman released from his
connection and responsibility and oh
legations"
His action, he declared, was due to
dissatisfaction with the purposes ana
acts of the organization. At the same
time, he announced he had forwarded
his resignation as grand dragon OF
North Carolina to Col. William j. sim
mons of Atlanta, imperial wizard.
Local officers of the khan today said
they would ignore Major Craven'S or
der. They explained that he had been
only the tentative head of the organ
ization and has no authority TO dis
band it.

1t is our belief that these meetings

welcome sign on every corner.
