BILBO SAYS BACK TO
AFRICA
April 18th, 1889

Dear Editor:
have prepared and am pleased
to enclose herewith an advance
copy of a bill that 1 propose to in
troduce in the United States Sen
ate on April oath, 1889, providing
for the free and voluntary resettle-
ment of all persons in the United
States of African descent in their
fatherland, Africa, where, and in
order that, they may have an OPP
portunity to achieve their highest
destiny-an opportunity, as you
know, that they will never have in
the United States where they are
out-numbered twelve to one.
Regardless of what any member
of the Negro Race not in SYM
pathy with the purposes of this bill
may say, and regardless of all the
hypocritical protestations of the
negrophilists of other races, who
seek, only for selfish, personal and
political reasons, to use and ex-
plot the Afro-American, am a
real friend to the Negro Race. 1t
is my opinion that in this Country
the Negro will always be dis
eliminated against and will be de-
MED the opportunity to attain his
greatest possible cultural and eco
nomic achievement.
It is universally conceded that
there are only two solutions to the
race problem as it exists in the
United States, namely, separation
or amalgamation. I am one among
many million citizens of this Coun-
try who advocate the separation of
the two races as the proper solu-
ton of this problem. It is, as a
rule, presumed by many whites
that all Negroes prefer to lose
their race identity by a mixing of
the blood of the two races. This is
untrue. l have in my possession
memorials addressed to the Presi-
dent of the United States and to
the Congress, to which there are
subscribed the names of approx
mately three million Negroes, who
have expressed, through these me-
MORALS, their desire to migrate to
Liberia, the land of their fore
fathers. These signatories do not
desire to remain in this Country
and eventually become integrated
or amalgamated with the whites
The Negro, in my judgment, is as
capable of experiencing a pride in
his Race as the white man has
shown such capacity, and of foster.
ing an innate desire to stand alone
and apart from other Races in ar
unified effort to attain race ma
tionality, and thereby preserve ra
cial inheritances, as other races
have shown ability to accomplish
the same and similar purposes.

Our endowment is very small

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS, .Sr.
The Golden Rule

The Golden Rule is the foundation of all religion
Which can be used by people in every situation,
For it is basic principle taught in school,
That fairness in all matters is the best rule.
How often go about our tasks,
Do we try to lift the horrible masks,
That beset in chains and bondages toll,
Until shake the mesmerism and recoil.
Do we forget to treat neighbor ourself,
If hungry give him food from shelf,
Aid in any way tho small it be
Is Christ's admonition to you and me.
Religion in business-why unheard of thing,
Seemed not to fit in and carried sting
Of repugnance, for both just seemed not to mix
Using the Golden Rule prevents sharp practice tricks
Defenders of principle in the limelight,
Can't do anything wrong in the publics sight,
For you must practice what you preach,
Since the multitude is skeptical of ones speech.
Successful leaders who feel duty bound,
Practice this fundamental, for they've found
That success comes to only those
When the Golden Rule more than prose.

Editor:
No matter what persons like
B. w. S. think the ministers of any
community are its natural leaders.
Especially is this true of a Negro
community. The trouble with the
Twin Cities is that the people, at
least a few of them, have tried to
get away from this.
If the people would pay some at
tention to our ministers we would
all be in better shape as a whole.

to that of the writer B. w. S., who
wrote about the ministry. Every
word of what the writer said was
the absolute truth. Of course there
are some minister or ministers in

leaders but the wearing of cleri-

does not guarantee that the spirit

her days being spent in a ceaseless
round of luncheons, teas, cocktail
parties, debuts, dinners and dances,
she is devoting much of her time to
more serious occupations.
Many debutantes assisted in the
