IL. CHARLES E. STUMP, WHO
STYLES HIMSELF THE REGULAR
OLD-TIME TRAVELLING CORRE-
SPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AK,
HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO
WEEKS MINGLING WITH THE
WAY UP HIGHLY EDUCATED
MEN AND WOMEN RESIDING IN
THE CAPITOL OF THE UNITED
STATES.

Washington, ID. CT am in the
town where President Warren G.
Harding is administering the affairs Of
the United States, and am just as
happy as Junebug, because l feel
that here where / can get protection
on a minutes notice, and here where
1 feel I can speak right out in church
and no one to tell me to stop. / have
just spoke as ! thought and thought
as spoke in the National Race Con
gress, and it is all over now and l
must get right out of town.
! have been telling you about this
Race Congress for long time and it
is over now. told you that l was
going to be here and have my say
about this race business, and honey
you may just bet your bottom dollar
that have spoken rightsout in church
and none have attempted to tell me
to stop.
i thought / was going to hear
Bishop /. N. Ross strut Miss Lizzie on
a sermon. but instead the Rev. DIR. G.
Fl. Stepteau stepped on the gas and
his gospel car pulled right out, and
he did not have to stop once to crank
1T. He preached good sermon, but
after he had heard himself preach he
did not return to the Congress to hear
any Of the other dignitaries speak. We
have some men in this world who only
like to hear themselves speak.
] am here to tell you that he was
not the only pebble on the beachnut.
for there were some great speakers
there. and | just could not keep from
shouting. | believe in my soul that
out shouted the Rev. DIR. w. J.
Howard, pastor of the Zion Baptist
church right here in Washington. We
were the shouting buddies there in the
meeting and attracted much attention
/ tell you it is a great big thing
to associate with big men in this
country and that is just exactly what
happened to me. / was thrown with
some of the big men of the country
and heard them speak / know you
know Robert E. Clay, Of Bristol
Tenn.-Va. He was there, and I am
here to tell you that man is doing
some real good, and made such a good
impression on the National Race Con
gress until it decided by unanimous
vote to make the next session an in
ter-racial session. That was a won
derful address and report which Mr..
Clay made He showed how the two
races in Tennessee were talking to
each other and not about each other.
The white man was looking the Negro
right in the face speaking out in
church and the Negro was looking
the white man in the face and speak
ing out in church, hence no room for
misunderstanding.
After all that is the way this thing
is to be worked out. We must look
at each other as men made in the
image of God. We must put God as
our Father and Jesus Christ as our
Brother, and when we appreciate what
that fellow Paul said on Mars noun
tain, or some other place, named In
the Bible, "And hath made Of one
blood ali nations of men for to dwell
upon all the face of the earth" That
sounds good to me. Brother Clay is
doing some real good and he is bust
ness man, yet he is. businessing away
from God, but he is good worker in
the Baptist church and connected up
with the Sunday school work also. In
