Philip a man after his own heart.

tending the picnics given at Colorado
Springs.
The association is covering large
field. II is the biggest organization Of
this country along social lines, working
among our people, and it has gathered
in these men and women of such note
that it is assured place in the world
forever. 1t is having tremendous in
auence, more than we even imagine.
There is one other man l wish to
mention-Mr. J. Seligmann, who is the
publicity man of the association. He is
the man who has been putting over all
of this publicity which has appeared in
the magazines and newspapers during
the past few years concerning colored
people. He is newspaper man of note
and knows how to go about it. He is
regularly employed by the association.
He was at this meeting and mingled
freely with the delegates at the business
and social functions.
There is one other thing l wish to
mention which was brought out very
clearly in the convention and which will
be the policy of all the branches during
this year, and that is, the officers who
have been elected on the different boards
and failed to function will be dismissed
and others elected in their stead. The
time has come when it is an honor to
be elected to one of these boards, even
the local branches.
The people in Denver did themselves
proud to entertain the delegates of this
convention. The homes were thrown
open and they received us with the
greatest of hospitality possible to human
beings, and il was the general opinion
of the delegates that they would like to
have seen the convention go on indef-
initely. The people in Denver have
some wonderful homes and many Of
them are successful business men and
women.
In summing up this report, allow me
to say that the general opinion of the
officers Of the National Association is
that the conditions are getting better and
that the outlook for the Negro in this
country is brighter than ever before.
Quoting Mr.. Charles Edward Russell in
his address, he said THAT social equality
and the full rights of the Negro would
be just as sure to come as God reigns.
because the principles for which we are
striving are right" He also said "Our
fight was a spiritual fight and that the
enemy of the Negro was using carnal
methods and by that he would die"

NOTED SPEAKERS
SOUND KEYNOTE
OF CITIZENSHIP

With l25 delegates from 2S states in
attendance and an audience of 100
crowding the Zion Baptist Church, the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People opened its six
teenth annual conference, with an adj
dress OF welcome from Mayor Benjamin
F. Stapleton, letters of greeting from
President Coolidge, Senator Lawrence
c. Phipps of Colorado, Moorfeld Sto-
rev. president of the N. A. A. c. P; J.
E. Spingarn, Mary White Ovington and
many other organizations and individu-
ais Charles Edward Russell, noted au-
thor and publicist, one of the founders
of the N. A. A. c. p, delivered the key
note address and, amid thunderous ap-
plause, demanded for the American Ne
gro full and absolute social equality,
whatever the consequences might be.
Mr.. Russell hailed the advent of the
new Negro who had grown up under the
protection and encouragement of the N.
A. A. c. p, a colored man entirely diff
ferent from any traditional figure, who
refused to cringe, but who would insist
upon having all his rights and who
would be satisfied with nothing less.
Mr., Russell pointed out that the de-
NAL of social equality" was merely a
means of denying to the Negro what
was rightfully his.
Il want the Constitution of the United
States to mean something" he declared,
"or ] want it to mean nothing. Recently
a group of gentlemen called upon Presi-
dent Coolidge and complained that the
