And he would never have got- tew to finish that speech If two of the national officers of the N. A. A. C. P. had not finally got up and appealed to the audience to let him go on, af ter he had effectually apologised. For the rest of his speech he pronounced the word NEORO In good sound, round syllables. He had learned a lesson which he will not forget till his dying day—and none of the white people who sat and observed his hu miliation will ever forget. But we pay him one compliment: He was brave enough to acknowledge his er ror, ffeclively, and to make his speech—a pretty good one. And he had come to the meeting to “represent the governor of the state," too. Ten thousand colored people, from all over the United States were there to hear him and and the other speakers.. And bad habit took him. In bis clubs and be hind colored folks’ backs, and to that . breed of Negroes who will listen to naive Insult and not hit back, he had been accustomed to speak affection ately!?) of “the old darkles”—and when he got before this group, hie tongue slipped. That was all. When you cultivate bad manners In secret and at home, those manners are like ly to follow you in public and abroad, it you don't look out After his tongue slipped—“the old darkey”—a dosen voices on the plat form, among which was the voice of Bishop John Hurst, cried out: “The old WHAT?” The audience began to clap its hands, and every time that white man opened, his mouth after that, 20,000 hands would clap, so that he could not hear his own voice. It was excruciatingly humiliating. He was not going to be permitted to speak to that audience one word fur ther, although he was frantically cor recting himself by shouting: “The COLORED MAN, the old NEGRO man,” in his efforts to get on. After the lesson Wis sufficiently im pressed, some of the officers of the N. A. A. C. P. arose and asked that he be permitted to go on, and he wan allowed to speak. He made a pretty good speech, He had learned unmistakably that the word "darkey" Is not essential to a good speech. GOOD! Now, this fellow would never have even attempted to begin a speech to an audience of Jews by “the old Sheeny”—to an audience of Italians by “the old Dago"—to an audience of Chinese by “the old Chink”—to an audience of Mexicans, even, by “the old Greaser"—and NEVER AGAIN will he begin to a colored audience with "the old Darkey.” It was habit—habitual disrespect for a race. It can only be changed by the DEMAND of that race, made as it was made in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo. Amen!
