BOTH RACES ASSEMBLE
TO HONOR WASHINGTON
(Continued from ilrst page.)
afraid to bo unmistakably identified
with the Negro race—let us in the
name of the God who made us forever
dispel any such foolish, childish, dis
astrous notions. Let us remember,
once and for always, that no race that
is ashamed of itself, no race that de
spises itself, can gain the confidence
and respect of other races or will ever
be truly great and useful.
“Let us remember also that we are
not an accursed people; that races
with whiter faces have and are still
going through difficulties infinitely
more trying and embarrassing than
such that face us; that we have in
this country vast opportunities for
usefulness and service. We are crea
tures of God’s most perfect handiwork,
and any lack of appreciation on our
part is a reflection on the great Crea
tor. Though Negroes and black, and
though living under hampering diffi
culties and inconveniences, God meant
that we should be just as honest, just
as industrious, just as skillful, just as
pure, just as intelligent, just as God
like as any human being that walks on
the face of God’s earth.
“I hope and I believe that because
of the life that has so recently gone
out from among us that we as a peo
ple will hence forward as never before
unselfishly work together—not neces
sarily in unison, not thinking, feeling
and acting alike always, but always in
perfect harmony and mutual helpful
ness for a great race and for a great
nation. This, then, is the most im
portant lesson we can learn from the
life and teachings of our great leader
and benefactor.”
The Heirs of Opportunity.
“I congratulate the Negro race most
heartily and earnestly, and I congrat
ulate myself, and I congratulate the
nation, too, because we are all proud
er, richer and happier and better be
cause this man lived, labored and tri
umphantly died—and he died, too, a
poor man, as far as this world’s goods
are concerned, but rich in achievement
and in service. He found a most try
ing, embarrassing, discouraging race
problem, and left us a clear, definite,
hopeful, unselfish race program.
Whether this program is being worked
out through Edeards at Snow Hill,
Cornela Bower at Mt. Meigs, Ala
bama Long at Christionberg, Virginia,
Holtzelaw at Utica, Mississippi—
whether through a Jeanes school or a
Rosenwald school—whether at Bald
win farms or through the Negro Busi
ness League or whether through the
lives and characters and earnest work
of thousands of graduates and former
students of Tuskegee Institute—it
matters little, it is the same vitalizing,
courageous, unselfish spirit of Booker
T. Washington, the same wise, un
selfish program, working earnestly
for the good of men and to the glory
of God.
“I believe, my friends, that you who
are the heirs of the opportunities of
the culture and of the wealth of the
ages; you who love humanity and just
ice; you who love our glorious coun
try; I believe truly that you will see to
it that the great institution through
which he worked, and for which he
died, will be maintained and operated
to its fullest capacity, and with the
greatest efficiency that these black
boys and girls, these sometimes called
the despised and rejected children may
continue to have a chance, a chance to
be trained, a chance to be educated, a
chance to be efficient, a chance to be
useful to their race and country, a
chance to be decent, a chance to
serve.”

JOHNSON ADMITS FAKED FIGHT.
Under the headline “Why Johnson
Faked His Fight With Willard” the
| People’s Journal, of Glasgow, Scot
i land, published an interview with Jack
Johnson, in which the colored pugi
list is made to say:
“I say now that there is not a man
breathing whom I think I could not
beat. These may be big words from
the boxer who was beaten by Jess
Willard at Havana, but those ‘in the
know’ will be able to read between the
lines. I am not speaking disrespect
fully of Willard, because I think he is
a great fellow'—as far as a man is
concerned; but if he were as good a
boxer as he is a nice fellow he would
be a great fighter.
“My fight with Willard W'as a finan
cial proposition. Rut the story goes
back some little way. You can hardly
be expected to realize how I was per
secuted after becoming champion. Yes,
I suffered some at the hands of the
‘dandy’ people in America because
they could not find a white man to
beat me.
“Well, they promised me that if I
would consent to be defeated by Wil
lard I would no longer be molested
and would enjoy the freedom any
other man would. I would be allowed
to see my old mother, who couldn’t
travel to see me. I w'ould have my
motor cars and other property re
stored to me. It sounded very at
tractive, but they played the double
cross on me.”
“Have you made up your mind
what you will say when you get to
Congress ?”
“Yes,” replied the statesman. “Till
I see how things are going I intend
simply to sit through the roll call and
say, “Present "—Washington Star.
