MIR. CoLsON PASSES AWAY.

America has lost great man in the
recent death of Mr.. William, N. Colson
of New York City. The Negro race has
| lost one of its most uncomprOmising
young leaders,.
Mr.. Colson took his college work at
Virginia Union University, Richmond
Virginia where he received his A. B.,
degree in 1914. He later studied law
ut the Law School of Columbia Univer
sity, where he received his LII. B. de-
gree. When we realize the fact thai
tke'e was only one college graduais
for every 81 persons over twenty
three years old in the United States in
1920; and further. that aEaong Negro
es The number of college graduates is
ala"mingly small, we can get an ade-
quate conception of the loss involved
in the death Of young college grcdu
ate.
Mr.. Colson served as Lieutenah;
with the seth Infantry during rne
! World War. He went to France where
he witnessed the insidious propaganda
which was carried on by the Ameri-
@ MS against the Negro. Unlike tlrs
asinine, spineless Negro leaders who
do not have the courage to labor mill
family for the freedom OF their group,
and urged on by passionate conv;c-
tion that the Negro should move On
towards the goal Of liberty unhinder-
ed by discrimination and race proscrip
tion, he wrote several articles on his
return from France severely CRITICS.
ing America for denying the fruits OF
democracy to the Negro. His articles
were always unique in style and preg-
nant with philosophy He did not mince
words. He always went directly to the
point. Perhaps no Negro ever stated
mole succintly. more fearlessly and
more truthfully the aspirations ana
ideas of intelligent young Negroes.
Writing in the Messenger for July
1919 on Propaganda and the Amer
can Negro Soldier he said: mo intel
ligent American Negro is willing to
lay down his life for the United States
as it now exists. Let him not so
thoughtlessly part with his men and
his Liberty Bonds until this country
can insure him an opportunity to de
velop his best capacities" In the same
maeaZine for December 1919 he wrote.
"They (returned soldiers) must first
or all continue their campaign Of dts
content and dissatisfaction. Let them
neither smile nor sleep until they
have burned into the soul Of every Ne.
gro in the United States an unquencm
able desire to tear down every barrier
which stops their onward march.
The friction of the Negro soldier who
is mentally free is to act as an imper
1shable leaven on the moss of those
who are still in mental bondage"
Mr.. COFson was one of my warmest
friends / was drawn to him by his con
genial spirit and his passion for
Truth and Freedom. We both worshipp
ed az the shrine of Freedom and dream
ed our dreams together. There was in
his eyes the sorrow of an oppressed
people. in his words, sympathy for
down-trodden race. But he was broad
er than race. He was cosmopolitan.
He sympathized with the enslavea
workers the world over. He has
wrought well despite the shortness OF
his life. He is now dead. He has earn
ed well Eternal Peace in the great Be
yond. Peace he to his ashes. Amen.

CLAIM ETHICS OF JESUS
ARE NOT SUFFICIENT
CRUSADER News Service ,

New York, April 6-In his closing
ADDRESS before the Sunday evening
forum at the Ethical Culture Meeting
House yesterday Alfred w. Martin die
cussed what he called "The INSULT
cheney OF the Ethics of Jesus"
AS moral teacher" he said, Jesus
confined himself to the ethics of per
sonal life, for the excellent reason
that in Judea in his day personal
ethics was the paramount issue. Social
and international ethics therefore,
were none of his concern and the fact
explains why the world is still drift.
Ing on such issues as the spiritual sig
nificance of marriage and the ethics
Of divorce.
1T is safe to say that If the scope of
Jesuss teaching had included these
problems, our civilization would be
further ahead than it is. For moral
and spiritual clairvoyance Jesus had
a distinct and exalted genius second
