Another evidence of tho progress making by members of our race In various localities Is tho fact that tho Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Mis souri nnd Its Jurisdiction has pur chased n Masonic homo for Its nged nnd Indigent men and women and for orphans. This homo Is advanlngeons ly loented Just outside of Hannibal, Mr nnd Is easy of access. The prop erty consists of eight acres of well fruited and productive lnnd. n commo dious and elegant hrlclc house with substantial barns nnd outhouses. It Is nn Idenl place for such a home It will bo rendy for occupancy Septem ber 1. Tho members of tho craft nra to be congratulated upon their busi ness ncumen and practical charity In making this provision for Its own. Tho Grand Sccretnry, whoso reslrtcnco Is at Hannlbnl, and who will nnturnlly keep vigilant oversight over Its neces sities, has askrd tho fraternity throughout the Jurisdiction for dona tions of stock nnd poultry and such other things ns can bo mado of use at an Institution of this kind. In our Judgment no grnnd session has over enncted wiser and more far reaching legislation thnn this net In making thin wise provision for our selvrs when poverty mny porclmnco ovcrtnko us. or our dependents, bo thev wife, mother or children, who, without this protecting care, would bo thrown upon tho never over-tender mercies of the world. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Address to tho Country. The men of tho Niagara movement coming from tho toll of tho yenr's hard work and pausing a moment from the earning of their dally bread turn to ward the nation nnd again ask In the namo of ten million tho privilege of n hearing. In thopnst year the work of the Negro hator hns nourished in tho laud. Step by step tho defenders of tho rights of Amcrlcnn citizens have retreated. Tho work of stealing tho black man's ballot has progressed and tho fifty or moro representatives of stolen votes still sit In the nation's cnpltul. Discrimination In travel nnd public accommodation has so spread that some of our weaker brethren nro actually afraid to thunder against col or discrimination ns such and nro simply whlaporlng for ordinary de cencies. Against this tho Niagara Movement eternnlly protests. Wo will not be satisfied to take one Jot or tittle less than our full manhood rights. Wo claim for oursolvos every slnglo right Hint belongs to a freoborn American, ..1,11. . ii V ,ii Thank Clod for John Drown! Thnnk no Itlcal, civil nnd soclnl; and until we . . , . . , ' ., ... in . Ld (or Onrr son nnd Douglas! Sum et these r ghts wo will never ccobpI , .., . . , . . to protest nnd assail the ears of Amor. Icn. The battle wo wago is not for ourselves alono, but for all true Ameri cans. It is a fight for ideals, lest this, our common fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the homo of the slave a by-word and a .hissing among the nations for its sounding pretentions and pitiful accomplishment. Never before in the modern age has a great and civilized folk threatened to adopt so cowordly a creed in the treatment of Its fellow-citizens, born and bred on its soil. Stripped of verb lacn nml Riibterfuce and In Its naked nastiness the new American creed , savs: Pear to lot black men even try to rlso lest they become tho equnls of tho white. And this is the land that professes to follow Jesus Christ.. Tho blasphemy of each a course Is only matched by Its cownrdlce. In detail our demands aro clear and unequivocal. First, we would vote; with the right to vote goes everything freedom, manhood, the honor of vonr wives th6 rhnstltv of vour H, .. , . . ., -. w - -- daughters, the right to work, and tho chance to rise, and let no man listen to those who deny this. We want full manhood suffrage, and we want Jt now, henceforth and forever. Second, We want discrimination in public accommodation to cease. Sep aration in railway and street cars, bnsed simply on race and color, Is un - American, undemocratic, and silly, Wo protest against nil such dlscrlml - nation. Third. Wc clnlm the right of free men to walk, talk, and bo with them that, wish to ho with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends, and to attempt to do so Is an Impudent Interference with the most fundamental human privilege, Fourth. Wc wnnt tho laws enforced ngnlnst rich ns well as poor; against capitalist as well as laborer; against white as well ns black. We are not more lawless than tho white race, wc are moro often nrrested, convicted nnd mobbed. Wo wnnt Justice even for criminals and outlaws. We want tho constitution of the country enforced. We want congress to tnko charge of congreBslonnl elections. We want the Fourteenth nmendment carried out to tho letter and every stnto disfran chised In congress which nttompts to disfranchise Its rightful voters. Wo wnnt tho Fifteenth nmendment en forced nnd no stnto allowed to biiBc its franchise simply on color. Tho failure of the Republican pnrty in congress at the session Just closed to redeem Its pledge of 1904 with ref erence to suffrage conditions nt tho South scorns a plain, deliberate, and premeditated breach of promise, nnd stamps that pnrty as guilty of obtain ing votes under false pretense. Fifth. Wc wnnt our children edu cated. Tho school Bystcm In the country Istrlctds of the South Is n disgrace and In few town nnd cities nre tho Negro schools what they ought to bo. Wo wnnt tho nntlonnl govern ment to Btep In nnd wlpo out Illiteracy In tho South. Either tho United States will destroy Ignorance or Ignornnco will destroy tho United States. And when wo cull for education we mean rcnl ediicntlon. Wo bollcvo In work. Wo ourselves nro workers, but work Is not necessarily education. Education Is the development of pow er nnd Idenl. Wc want our children trained as Intelligent human beings should be. and wo will fight for nil time 'against any proposal to cducnto black boys and girls simply us ser vants and underlings, or simply for tho use of other people. Thoy have a right to know, to think, to aspire. These nro sonic of tho chief things which wo wnnt. How shall wo i;et them? By voting where wo may vote, by persistent, unccnslng agitation; by hammering at tho truth, by sacrl llco nnd work. Wo do not believe in violence, nei ther In tho despised violence of tho raid nor tho lauded vlolonco of tho soldier, nor tho barbarous vlolonco of tho mob, but wo do believe In John Brown, In that inenrnntn spirit of Jus tice, thnt hntrcd of a llo, tlint willing nesB to sncrlflco money, reputation, nnd life Itself on tho altar of right. And hero on tho scene of John Brown s martyrdom wo reconBecrnto ourselves, our honor, our property to tho final emancipation of tho rnco which John Brown died to mnko free. Our enemies, triumphant for the present, nro fighting tho stnra In their course. Justlco nnd humanity must provnll. Wo llvo to toll theBO dnrk brothers of ours scattered In coun sel, wavering and weak that no brlbo of monoy or notoriety, no promise of wealth or famo, Is worth tho surren der of n people's manhood or tho Iosh of a mnns self-respect. Wo refuso to surrender tho leadership of this race to cowards and trucklers. Wo aro men; wo will bo trentcd ns men. On this rock wo havo planted our ban ners. Wo will never give up, though tho trump of doom find us still fight ing. And wo shall win. ' Tho pnst prom ised It, the present foretells It. ner and Phillips, Nat Turner ond Rob ert Gould Shaw, and all the hallowed dend who died for freedom! Thank Qod for all those today, few though their voices bo, who have not forgot ten the divine brotherhood of all men, white and black, rich and poor, for tunate and unfortunate Wo appeal to (bo young men nnd women of this nation to those whoso nostrils are not yet befouled by greed and snobbery nnd rnclnl narrowness stand up for tho right, prove your selves worthy of your heritage, and whether born North or South daro to treat men as men. Cannot tho nation - hat ,,nB absorbed ten million foreign p Into Its political llfo without ca tastrophe absorb ten million Negro- Americans Into that same political life nt less cost than their unjust and Ille gal exclusion will Involve? Courage, brothers! Tho battlo for humanity Is not lost or losing. All across the skies sit signs of promise. .The Slav is raising In his might, the , yellow millions are tasting liberty, the black Africans are writhing toward the light, and everywhere the laboror. with ballot In his hand, is voting onen the gates of Opportunty and Peace.
