stand the operation this control
ling influence, to withstand as far
as we may it's hurtful effect, and
to stand the residue that may not
be withstood. 1t cannot be con-
coded for a moment that the race
has not sufficient wisdom to for
mulate its own philosophy and to
state its own case. This must
be done in terms that are so COM
prehensive, so clear and precise
that the race will be compelled
to accept and the world to take
notice. SO fary the Negro has
not undertaken, in any serious
way, to formulate a declaration of
principles for his own guidance.
The white man has spoken for him
and told him what he thinks he
ought to do. We have followed the
leading strings Of material charity
intellectual philanthropy.
But the time has now come when
the Negro must think for himself
and speak for himeslf in terms Of
his own understanding of his own
conditions. If he Is not now pre-
pared to use his own brains and
his own tongue to think out and
express the policy for his own in
/ innate guidance, his helplessness
is indeed pitiable. The white
man has been generous and kind.
He has spoken for us when our
tongues were tied; but now our
! tongues have been loosed and our
intellectual organs released. The
white man at his best can no long
err speak for us within the circum-
scribed area to which his preju-
dice confines us. Any group
that is devoid of enlightened self
expression is doomed"
A Working Motto
"Our situation demands a just
balance between courage and eau
ton, ambition and restraint, re-
sourcefulness and good sense.e
There are many temperaments and
dispositions. Some are timid
some are temorarious; some are
radical, some restrained; some
hasty, some hesitant. Many men
of many minds must be adjusted
to a common point of view. Gut
zot, in his History of Civilization
has admirably expressed the stu
alton thus:
I'VE continually oscillate be-
tween an inclination to complain
without sufficient cause and to be
too easily satisfied. We have an
extreme susceptibility of mind, and
inordinate craving, an ambition in
our thoughts and desires, and in
the movements of our Imagination
yet when we come to practical life
when struggle, when sacrifice
when efforts, are required for the
attainment OF our object, we sink
into lassitude and inactivity. Let

On Feb. 18th, 1924, l called the
Negro Sanhedrin, or All-Negro
Conference, to meet in Chicago.
| here reprint extracts from this
call.
Object of the Conference
There are already innumerable
organizations in tht racial field
operating separately and several
ly. Each is efficitnt in its sphere,
but no one of them. nor yet all
of them combined, can claim to
be sufficient as concerns the gen.
eral welfare of the race. They are
all aiming at the same objective,
without correlation, unity of plan
or harmony Of procedure. Nor
does any existing organization
deal fundamentally with the whole
problem of racial life and relhtion-
ship. Each is concerned with
some special feature rather than
with the problem as a whole. The
religious, educational industrial,
economic, and social features are
but carnations and specific emer-
gencies from a common racial
background. The Negro Sanhe-
drin hopes to reduce all of these
social fractions to a common de-
nominator. The whole is greater
than any of it's parts, and equal
to the sum of all of it's parts.
The Negro Sanhedrin does not
propose to interfere with any ex-
listing organization or to usurp its
function. In a nutshell, its object
is to make for understanding and
unity. 1t hopes to reach an un-
Outstanding of the problems as a
whole and to promote harmoniza-
ton of effort of existing agencies
to secure the desired end. The
All-Race Conference must consid-
er the state Of the race, I am al
most persuaded to say, the united
state Of the race.
The Nature Of the Problem
1.-THE Negro question is a prob
lem Of psychology. The white
race in America has a certain
more or less fixed and definite
attitude concerning the place and
sphere of the Negro in the general
scheme A race consciousness
will necessarily arise under COM
pulsion Of external circumstan-
ces. Purposive intelligence must
be brought to bear to give 1t or
derliness and direction. To in
quire into the origin Of race pre-
judice or to seek the limits within
which 1t Is modifable, would in
deed furnish a theme Of interest
ing and curious speculation. But
we do not know that it Is a pres
sing, present, persistent fact
which conditions the entire scheme
of the Negroes life and relation

quires that we study to under

Captain Benson To Mine Gold
 Under Ocean

CORDOVA-Cordova will be- come the headquarters of the Al aska Bayshore Dredging Con- pany, Captain John Benson, pres ident of the gold mining concern told a group of business men.
 A dozen men gathered at the invitation of the veteran sea cap tain and gold miner at an inform al luncheon in the Model Cafe and listened to his plans for min- ing gold from the sands under the sea.
 The captain, who with Mrs. Benson, has been in Cordova for the past six weeks, said he had finished observations of likely gold bearing sands in th;s sec tion and was convinced that his company would be able to mine profitably here.
 He will return in March, he said, with ship fitted with the gold recovery apparatus, but will continue to Nome where he will operate during the open months, returning to his locations in Prince William Sound later in the year.
 Has New Method
 Benson has developed a new and unique method of gold re- covery from under the surface of the water Using powerful suc- ton dredges, gold-bearing sand (first tested for its content by clamshell excavators carried on the ship) is sucked on board and passed through gold recovery machinery, including newest type of) sluice boxes and amalgama- ton apparatus. The ship in the words of Captain Benson, is act ually a floating gold mill, with linitless mining locations at it's disposal.
