BILBO SAYS BACK TO
AFRICA
April 18th, 1889
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
l have prepared and am pleased
to enclose herewith an advance
copy of 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.
1t is universally conceded that
there are only two solutions to the
race problem as it exists in the
United States, namely, separation
or amalgamation. l 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. 1t is, as a
rule, presumed by many whites
that all Negroes prefer to lose
their race identity by mixing Of
the blood of the two races. This is
untrue. 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 moi
desire to remain in this Country
and eventually become integrateC
or amalgamated with the whites
The Negro, in my judgment, is as
capable of experiencing a pride il
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 al
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.
Let me express the hope tina

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

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 as we go about our tasks,
Do we try to lift the horrible masks,
That beset us in chains and bondages toll,
Until we shake the mesmerism and recoil.
Do we forget to treat our neighbor as ourseI,
If hungry give him food from shelf,
Aid in any way tho small it be
Is Christ's admontion to you and me.
Religion in business-why unheard of thing,
Seemed not to fit in and carried a sting
OF repugnance, for both just seemed not to mix
Using the Golden Rule prevents sharp practice tricl
Defenders of principle are ever in the limelight,
Can't do anything wrong in the public's sight,
For you must practice what you preach,
Since the multitude is skeptcal 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 means more than prose-

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

least few of them, have tried to
get away from this.

tention to our ministers we would
