OBITUARY

Bernard Willard Fits was born No
vember 18th, 1873, in Uniontown, Ala,
the son of Isaac and Rose Fits. Here
he learned the printing trade. He at
tended Selma University, Selma, Ala,
after his grammar school course, but,
dissatisfied with conditions in the
South, came to Chicago during the
Worlds Fair in 1898. Here he worked
on the Chicago Conservator until he
started in the job printing business for
himself, founding the Crystal Printing
Co. in 1897, which business he con-
tinued until his death.
In 1899 he was married to Miss
Annie E. Wells, who helped him de-
velop his business. He was interested
in race progress and in 1910, as presi-
dent of the Bethel Literary, founded
the Annual Essay Contest, which for
IS years he kept going and was thus
the means of stimulating the study Of
race history among our young people
In 1915 he founded the Searchlight, a
race journal which he fostered in con-
nection with his other business. In
1919 he was appointed a clerk in the
Cook County Board of Review, which
post he was holding at the time of his
death, February 10Th, 1926. He had
been afflicted with asthma for years,
but worked faithfully at his duties as
clerk, business man, precinct captain,
public spirited citizen, until pneumonia
claimed him for its own. In all these
years he lived a consistent Christian
life, stimulating young people by his
advice, aid and personal example in
Bethel and Institutional A. M. E.
Churches, but feeling that he wished
to be in deed and truth a worshiper
with his wife, with whom he had
journeyed in loving companionship
through this vale Of tears for twenty
FIVE years, he was confirmed in St.
Thomas Episcopal Church, January
oath, 1926.
Two days before he breathed his last,
he said he was not afraid to die-on1y
he didn't want to leave his wife. Yet
when the summons came he sap
preached his grave like one who wraps
the drapery Of his couch about him,
and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Protect skylight with openings on

PLETE EMANCIPATION
preston News Service)

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb 26.-Prelim-
mary plans for organization of con-
centrated drive in the form Of new
political party were made by the In
ternational Alliance of Negroes at a
meeting Friday, to free the American
Negro from segregation of all kinds.
Final details of the plan will be fur
ther worked out at meeting to be
held Saturday, Feb. q. Delegates
from all sections of the United States
have signihed their intention to attend
the meeting next Saturday.
DR. Lionel A. Francis, head of the
organization, declared that the COM
plete emancipation of the Negro de-
ponds upon his intelligent cooperation
and oneness of purpose. The program
of the alliance, using politics as key,
will eventually unlock the numerous
doors of opportunity now closed in the
face of the black race.
The speakers at Fridays meeting in
cluded DR.. Francis, president, and S. R.
Williams, secretary. The speakers re-
cited the deplorable conditions of the
Negro socially, morally, economically
and politically. Most stress was laid
on the political bondage Of the Negro
and pointed out that many of the Ne
gro and pointed out that many of the
Negro ills the country over is due to
his political bondage. 1t was shown
that the most effective way to obtain
citizenship rights in this country was
through the ballot Racial solidarity
expressed through the ballot box is the
most eloquent and convincing argu-
ment the Negro can make. When the
race votes as a unit on measures they
will be recognized as a power in this
country.
The speakers pointed out the great
amount of educational work that will
have to be done in this country. The
race press, ministry and all leaders
must preach, teach and live racial one
ness Of purpose, in season and out of
season.
