"It Is well that tho Nntlonnl Negro

"From tho first, nntl I hope this

Nntlonnl Negro Ilusluess League has

tho direction of agriculture, Industrial

ollcy of this organization to hold up
hofote tho rnco its advantages, rather
,thnn its disadvantages, Its successes,
rather than Its failures; to call tho
attention of the world to tho efforts of
our friends, rather than to) those of
our enemies,

lullucnco of one great success In really
accomplishing something that tho
world respects will go furthest In pro
moting our Interests. Let constructive
progress he the domlnont nolo among
us In every Bcctlon of America. An
Inch of pi ogress Is worth more thnu a

fault with others, hut bv nroscntlng
to tho world ovltlencos of tho progress
In agriculture. Industilal and business

"Right hero In Ooorglrt wo ImVb
nhuntlant evidence that the Negro, In
splto of dllllcultles, Is learning this
lesson at a rnpid rate. It Is saf to
snv that I he Negro In (leorgln owns nt
least J20.000.000 worth of taxable
property, ami that our pcoplo In other
sections of tho South have made al
most ctiunl progress. Within the- past
year I have Inspected nntl t-tudli'd tho
condition nntl piogress of our people
In tho northern and western States as
I hnvo never done before, uud I have
no iicuiwiiioii in ro-niiirmiiiL' mv former
opinion that tho Southorn States offer
tho host permanent abode for the
masses of our pcoplo. While manv In

which this organization seeks first of
all to promote. 1 know no section of
this country where our people ure mak

ture Is moro full of promise than right
here in the South. In thus expressing
myself, I do not overlook the fact that
wo hnvo a largo number of Negioea In

In tho highest degree creditable, nor
do I overlook thoso things In tho

Duty of the Negro.
'On the Negro's part we have n
duty. Our leaders should see to It thnt
the criminal Negio is gotten rid of
whenever possible. Making all allow
ances for mistakes, Injustice nntl the
Influence of lachil prejudice, 1 have
no hesitation In snylng thnt one of tho
elements In our present situation thnt
give me most concern Is the largo
miimicr oi crimes that are being com
mitted by members of our race. Tho
negro Is committing too much crlmo
North ami South. Wo should see to
It, us far as our Influence extends, that
crimes nre fewer In number; other
wise the taco will permanently suffer.
The crlmo of lynching everywhere and
nt all times should bo condemned nntl
iiium- wno commit crimes or any na
ture should be condemned. Our South
land today has no greater enemy to
business progress than lynchers nnd
those who provoke lynching.
"In this same connection let us bear
In mind thnt every mnn, white or
black, who lakes the lnw Into his
Hands to lynch or burn or shoot human
beings supposed to bo or guilty of
crime Is Insulting the executive, Judi
cial and lawmaking bodies of tho State
In which ho resides. Lawlessness in
one direction will Inovltnhly lead to
lawlessness In other directions. This
Is the experience of the whole civilized
world.
In this connection let us consider
tho classes of Negroes that do not
commit crime and nro seldom charged
with crime They are those who own
homes, who nre tux-payers, who hnvo
n trade or other regular occupation;
they nro those who aro In professional
service, thoso who have received edu
cation, and such huslness men nnd
women ns those who compose this or
ganization. "I think I would bo safe in saying
that no graduate of Clark University
Atlanta Unptlst College, Atlanta Uni
versity, Morris llrown College or Spel
man Seminary has been arrested for
any crime In Atlanta dining tho last
twelve months.
"In this we have a strong, practical
demonstration right hero nt home In
favor of education of tho classes of our
citizenship. Ignorance will always
mean crime, and crime will an tin
wieldly burden fastened about the
neck of the South. Tho only safely
for both races Is In the dliectlon of
education Industry nntl high character.
I hnvo mimed the classes that do
not commit crime. Which Is the class
that Is guilty, as u rule, of criminal
action? They art the loafers, the
drunkards and gniuhleis, men for tho
main part without permanent employ
ment, wlio own no homes, who have no
hank account, who glide rituu one
community to another without Interest
In any one spot. One of the practical
courses that men such us those who
composo this business lcnguo, our
leaders In the pulpit and eveiy rpheie
of llfo, should pursue. Is to try to get
hold of the floating class of our people
nnd nco to It that their lives nro so
changed as to make them ccaho to
disgrace our race and disturb our civ
ilization. Wo cannot In too flunk or

the committing of crime is lining to
