The broad ax., 1923-06-23


people in this world who seemingly
we're born to find fault. They destroy
and never build Up, and want to Be
noticed or get before the public by
striking at the men who are doing
things. Now you are no doubt ask
ing What in the hen feathers j. he
talking about now?"
II you want to know, you know al
ready, for you have seen how some
little two by cipher have been sassail-
ing DR. Robert r. Motion on his hos
pital proposition, the man who placed
himself right in the gate way and had
the chariot to stop; and if it had not
been for this friend of his race, that
Government hospital would be going
at full force right now and all white
folks doing the business and the coli

God to give us few more like him.
He is not before the public with his
name in the paper II did this or that,
but he is just going right on in the
name Of God doing his duty, and will
continue to do so. He is the man who
has been insulted, he is the man who
is new abused by those he tried to
help, and he will be abused as long as
some people whose force would have
the same result as the lightning bug
would with that little light OF. his

against a shining light know what
has been done, and | know how this
leader has had to suffer, what he has
passed through / know when his
home was guarded, and il was alb
soEutely necessary, and now in the
face of all this the only reward is
abuse. If my word stands for any
thing at all, put it down that / told
you that Robert r. Motion is straight
on the hospital question, and you must
not expect him to answer every crit
tcisni or even answer the thousands OF
letters that have poured into finn by
friends and Others. Some days A.
whole mail bag full of letters are
dumped in there asking about the hos
pital in some phase or another. Say
nothing, saw wood and listen and you

Since took my pen in hand and
wrote you that letter from Beaumont
Texas, telling you of the great work
done by the Grand Lodge OF Knights
OF Pythias- and the Grand Court Of
Calanthe, ! am now ready and willing
TO say just few words to you in this
connection this week, and you win lis
ten to me until ] get through, and

week for no one is throwing it at me.

The Grand Lodge of knights of
Pythias Of Texas, worked together
just IKE the works in a clock or
watch. All working to the same great
end. They are making better homes,

When | got through with the Grand
Lodge affairs and wrote YOU that let
ter in Beaumont, then loaded myself
up and started for another part Of the
world. Or. G. B. Charlton, and his
wife, daughters and son seemed re-
iuctant to give me up and Prof. Pol

tomobile car carriage, and off I was
