The Colorado statesman., 1923-08-25

~ fourth Annual Session of the
n National Negro Business League
we are called upon at this time to
mourn the passing of the twenty-ninth
President of the United States, War
ren Gamaliel Harding. great sense
of loss still broods over the nation, the
loss of gracious kindly friend as
well as of just and courageous
statesman. And it is hard, my friends,
to say for which the nation grieves
the more, the friend or the President.
But to answer | think we grieve more
today for the great and noble friend
of every citizen in the nation than for
latter-the President, can be replaced,
has already been replaced: but the
former-the friend, no power on earth
can replace The place he held un-
challenged in the affections of the
nation and of the world is peculiarly
his alone; that place he still holds
and will continue to hold against all
the fitful changes of time, against the
ravages of death itself.
Those who knew him personally will
always remember his unfailing easy
courtesy, his simple instructive kind
ness and goodness of heart. Though
pressed with a multitude of cares it
was easy for even the humblest citi-
zen of the land to see the president of
the nation. Admitted to his presence
he listened with ready and instant
sympathy; one left his presence sure
that he had a friend at court, and that
friend was the president himself.
And there was one unfailing clue
to his action-that was his sense of
justice and his love of peace. How
well he combined these two elements
in his Birmingham address. Two
things he sought for Justice for the
Negro and peace for the South. Some
admired his plea for justice and de-
plored his concessions to the South;
others applauded his sympathy with
the South and deprecated his mis-
understanding of the Negro. But both
parties were satisfied that the Presi-
dents heart was as good as gold and
that he sought the best interest of
both parties. Having broken the Solid
South without leaving his front porch
at Marion, he went into the South as
a messenger of peace and good Will,
of justice and Righteousness. Today
white and black alike bless Warren G.
Harding as q friend.
The National Negro Business League
is to be congratulated on this its
twenty-fourth annual session. We are
to be congratulated on the pleasant
auspices under which we meet. If
we take account of the twenty-four
years we. could properly and signifi-
cantly count twenty-four years OF
progress. | know DR.. Washington, the
founder of this organization, would re-
ioice in the wonderful business pro-
gress as well as the progress along
other lines that the Negro race has
made since the beginning of the move
ment. While the League cannot take
credit for all the progress that has
been made, it has truly had large
share in the large number of acres of
land which the race has accumulated,
