lhlDOQduAy A~SuiSidAAe.s u e y a
irving to elect a governor down here
Il louisiana and many are the issues
ID before the people, especially the
Klan. and l am sorry to say that we
have 10 say in it, and it matters not
who is elected, he will not owe any
thing to my people, and that is why
ne can have the life crushed out of
y and that is why we are in heluva
* when it comes to defending our
rights as citizens.
You may fume and puff and blow
Al YOU please, but you may put it
down that told you that voteless
people is a helpless people and ! care
not who they are. When my people
down home had a ballot in their
hands. they were considered somebody,
and they were called in consultation.
Il can't see to save my life how in the
hen feathers we are going to get Wal
fer Cohen or any one else approved by
the Senate when we have no say in
the state from which ne halls. We
have brought all the pressure to bear
on our Senators, but then, his home
people are "agin" him and thereby
hangs the future.
Then what about the Dyer bill? I
am not prepared to say, but fear
that there is not manhood enough in
the House and Senate to pass it and
We may have to sing "Hark From the
Tomb" This is what am looking
for, and this is what ! am thinking
right now. But then am not going
to talk about these things this week,
for L am just full and / feel like saying
some words which Dr. A. NJ Town
send would not allow to 60 in the
Sunday School Literature Of the Sun
day School Publishing Board. Of the
National Baptist Convention. Let US
now look to the Lord and be dis
missed from this subject.
Speaking of DR.. Townsend, l tell
you they are pushing to completion
that home for the Sunday School Pub
fishing Board, and it is going to be a
great building. The Baptists Of Amer
lea will be called on to go to Nash
vile and dedicate the building next
fall, and l am praying the Lord to
spare me to see it completed and let
me shout all over Nashville and depart
for glory in peace. / want to see this
done Secretary Townsend is putting
forth every possible effort to make it
complete. They are turning out some
good literature for the minds Of the
youth.
wrote you last week for one time
from New Orleans or some other
place, and permit me to tell you that
have never been SO much impressed
with New Orleans as / was on this
visit, and it is due to the fact that I
came in contact with one Of the great
est physicians in this country, DR.. M.
c. Gaines, man as black as the shoes
he wears, but has the training which
places him in the front rank. You see
he has shown to the world that color
has nothing 10 do with culture, and
that he IS not colored physician, but
Just physician standing with the
best. That color only represents. the
house in which he lives, but he per Sc
is invisible You cannot see mind. you
cannot see soul for therein lies the
man. He thinks the thought Of God
and is helping God to work out his
plans on earth. A wonderful mission.
! am proud Of the fact that there is
no white man Or any other kind Of
man who can crush my manhood. He
cannot put limit on brains. This is
why am constantly going into col
leges and schools trying TO get me
some more education.
But ! was talking about DR.. Gaines.
He came into the world somewhere
about Natchez, Mississippi, and START
ed out at once ia search Of man.
As soon as he came into the world,
they started him to work. He was the
milk boy, and had to milk for a living.
ihen rs soon as he was large enough
and old enough into the school he
went, completing his literary training,
