In order that this be accom-
plished with the least possible de-
lay we must (a) turn our backs on
those false prophets with their
siren songs of idle words and
empty promises; we must (b) rally
to the standards of leaders whose
actions give indisputable proof of
the fact that they care not one
tinker's damn about glory and sell
fish gain, but who are committed to
the doctrine of righteousness; we
must (c) put down petty jealousies
and develop a desire to understand
and to amicably counsel with each
other; we must (d) have done once
and for all with chicanery, double
dealing, and skulduggery from
within and from without, and, by
an implacable stand, show the
world that we will no longer
countenance being sold down the
political river for somebody's mess
of tripe; we must (e) have faith in
our ability to construct and main
tain a destiny worthy of the herit-
age of bygone Afric accomplish
ment.
Two years ago the writer sat at
a political banquet in the Phyllis
Wheatley House in Minneapolis
and heard voiced a strong senti-
ment for the establishment of

What has become of that praise

there been a greater need for such
a movement in Minnesota, nor
have greater opportunities for COM
mendable work ever been presented
for its acceptance. NOW is THE
TIME TO ACT! There are as
many competent leaders-propor-
tionately speaking-in this state as
can be found among our group
anywhere in America. And there
are hundreds of intelligent persons
eager and willing to follow that
leadership, fearlessly and tirelessly.
Then how about an association of
Negro organizations in Minnesota?
What mighty force for justice
could be generated through clear
ing house coordinating the efforts
of ALL our organizations, what
ever their nature! What an ire
sistible blow. could be struck in
the affairs of the state if the hands
of ALL our bodies, civic, political,
economic, religious, fraternal, and
educational, were holding the club!

am ready. Are you?
One word of warning. No jockey
ing for power; no quest for glory.
When the leaders are chosen, so be
it. If they happen not to be your
choice or mine, let it not matter.
But let US give them our loyalty
and devotion as long-AND ONLY
AS LONG-as they shall remain
worthy of their trust.

To The Minneapolis Spokesman:
The expressions you requested
are as follows:
Depression is partly state of
mind. Now that fear is subsiding,
boarded sums are being brought
out and put into investments. More
employment is afforded and more
money is finding its way back into
circulation.
Raymond w. Cannon.
Increase in business being done
by the railroads, increase in manu-
featured products, volume of bust
ness of wholesalers and retailers
all indicate a gradual upturn and
the so-called depression is clearing
up in spite of itself.
X. Homer Cannon.
In my opinion, 1886 offers I'M
limited opportunities for the ad-
vancement of Minneapolis in gen.
eral, and our own race in particu-
lar. A large faith in ourselves, a
firmer belief in our fellow men, a
greater determination to work
hard, to be honest with ourselves
and to fight for what we believe is
right. With these things in view,
I believe 1886 will prove our most
successful year from a business,
economic and racial viewpoint.
C.. e. Rucker
Editor Minneapolis Spokesman:
have every faith in Minneap-
Oils and the future. 1886, in my
opinion, will be a banner year, with
the Negro steadily marching for

cation of his possibilities.
