nit a bounty by the mere fact o( hav-. ng liberty and equality written over its fcier, and that citizenship need make no aVposits in the bank oi. common weal order to write checks upon that lank. Here at home we have had too much en-' sourageinent given to the idea that a overnment is a something for nothing institution. But 1 say that citizenship 1 nor based upon what one can get, tut that it is based upon what one tan jive.

1 say and 1 wish that 1 could ipeak through you 'to all American-let's "Under the sfogan of good sirucn-ihip there is no reason why you shunld lot hold your heads high. You, who ire assembled to-day, and your race in America, have the good sense, as all Jiouglut'ul Americans have, to know it is only in a country where twit, rapacity and worth of men and women ire recognized and rewarded that merit, rapacity and worth are developed. The Record of the Race. "You and I and good Americans of s-hatever color, blood or creed, know that the aspiration of all men is equal spportunty to create recognition of liffercnces between tlvcmseives, and that injustice known to Inan can be great- rr than that of the tvranny and raev that labels itself democracy or Bolshevism or proletariat, and enslaves ill men and all their ambition and ill their freedom with the iron hand mediocrity. The American Negro gas the good sense and clear head and srave heart to live it, and assuming to speak a truth which America ught to know, proclaim it to ill the world that he has met the test md did not and will not fail America.

"I proclaim more; 1 assert to 'all the world that America ha not and will lot fail the American Negro. "If there are those who doubt me let them look to the record the record the colored race in American eitizen-? ihip, nd the record of America in giv-lig opportunity. "Your very presence in assembly, roming from great organizations dedi-aed to high religious purposes, is snough to cause any man to give recognition in his heart to the great rootribution to American citizenship. which is found in the capacity for deep religious faith among people of your Hood. America needs the deep religious faith.

She needs it whether it from Catholic, Jew or Protestant. She leeds it in her citizenhsip, and 1 recognize (hat the best of America is our spiritual life and not our material possess'01)'. uid that if America ever lets her smrit- ial life die, she will no longer be the buid we love. Amazing Achievements. "The expression of that spiritual life, alive in the hearts of the people of blood, has, 1 believe, been the basis for the achievements of the American Negro.

They are great and imazing achievements. They have been wrought, not from words nor false claims, but by patience, tolerance, re-htraint and by the earned rewards of that merit, capacity and worth in citizenship of which I have spoken. "When we Americans of whatever color render tribute to the record of the American Negro, let us not forget to render tribute to America tinder whose institutions and among whose people their record was made. For I tell you and through you I tell all Americans that if your people have progressed in so amazing and inspiring manner, it must have been that 1 America gave you opportunity. If you have risen by your merit, capacity, and worth, and not by agitation ami violence and reolt against our institutions, it is proof thru you have prospered under cur institutions and have loved them.

Have Earned Right to Justice. "If the men and women of your blood have given, as we all desired to give, a great outpouring of treasure and blood upon the altar of patriotism, it is because the truth was in your hearts America has given you her great blessing of justice. "You have it, and you shall have that will continue to accord it to your It will be tjood American citizenship people. If 1 have anything to do with it, it fehall alio be good American obedience to law. Brutal and unlawful violence, whether it proceeds from those who break the law or from those who take the law into heir own hands tan only dealt with in one way by time.

Your presence hero is an additional pledge of fealty to the nation. This is an hour of unrest. The ama teur thinker is in our midst mistaking the noise and the tumult of the hour for its sober reality. There is much discontent in the world just now, but they greatly err who imagine that the white crest on the wave is a true measure of the depths below. We sre listening to some strange doctrines and facing some strange proposals these days.

One of these strange proposals is that our rare should cast away all allegiance to this country and return to Africa. If, in the evil days of this republic when we lived under the stripes and not the 'stars, when the sky of freedom was dark down -to the horizon and still darkening, with nowhere, spark. of consolation, when families were broken up by the infamous institution of human slavery ami their members cast to the winds like the yellow leaves of a failed tree, if we did not attempt to escape to Africa then, we are not likely to go there now. Wo do not belong to that group to wliom nothing is desirable but the impossible, and precious few of us can be led into the pursuit of fantastic visions, such as a return to the Dark Continent. We shall not surrender to despair and pessimism.

We are facing the vast future with hope and confidence. Love for the FUg. Although it may not be apparent to the hasty agitator, our people realize that despite many drawbacks and discouragements, despite much prejudice and inequality, and what is even worse, the lamentable lack of consideration which we receive in this country, it nevertheless means a wider outlook and a better chance in life for a black boy, or girl to be born under the stars and stripes than to be born under any other banner that floats among the flags of men. This is our home, anf with alt her faults we love her still. We know no.

other country and we love no other flag. Here we have lived ever since that old Dutch lugger discharged hcr dusky cargo tt Jamestown, Virginia, and here we shall always lire, and serve the state in peace and in war as best we may. As to our migration to -Africa, let me say a single word. When all the English in this country voluntarily return to the banks of the Thames and all the Irish go back io the shores of the Shannon; when the Germans return to the Rhine and the French to the Rhone; when the Italians seek the Tiber, the Russians the Neva and Volga, and all the Jews once more take their staid on Jordan's stormy banks." then and not till then, will we consider a return to the fever- siricKen -oanKs oi me dreamy isile. Even then, like the prophet of old we will probably have to be translated in a fiery chariot Whenever I hear of this new "nieht into EavDt" move ment.

I recall some of the words of Cardinal Newmans grand old hymn: "Lead kindly tight Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see I lie distant shores, one step rnougn tor me. Had Fought Country's Battles. And why should we leave this country? We have done the State some service, and they know it. We have always stood ready to smite the foes and detainers of our country, even as Othello smote that malignant and lurha'nd Turk who "beat a Venetian and traduced the State." We have fought in all the country's wars. We were on Boston Common, at Bunker Hill, in Lundy's Lane, with Perry on Lake Erie and with Old Hickory at Orleans.

When Lewis and Clark carried the flag to the Far West we went with him. We were at Peters-berg, Part Hifdson and Appomattox. We were with Dewey at Manila, with Sampson and Schley at Santiago, and our boys fell, each with a smile on his face as though rejoiced to give poor a thing as his life so great a cause as his country's, when the intrepid Roosevelt Jed that wild dash up Nan Juan Hill I Preparation JL I IB3I YI lid jr'j'A G.

As for the crimes of mob violence so often perpetrated against our citizens of the Negro race, they are a blot upon the good name of the United States. The people who perpetrate them and the public officials who step aside and allow them lo happen, should be punished to the full limit of the law.

jp. Mr. Anderson's Address. In his address of welcome, Ex-Collector Anderson referred to the spirit of unrest which iso prevalent today. He declared that amateur thinkers are mistaking noise and tumult for reality.

The propaganda put forth by the Universal Negro Improvement Association counseling a return of the race to Africa was denominated a fantastic vision. The speaker said that notwithstanding prejudice, inequality and a lamentable lack of consideration in this country for the colored man. it nevertheless means a wider outlook and a better chance in life for a black girl or boy to be born under the stars and stripes than to be born un dnr and other banger that floats among the flags of men." Mr. Anderson spoke in part as follows: Mr. Grand Master and members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows: You do well to celebrate your 71st anniversary in this city at tliis true Americans, whether they be of your blood or mine.

"Fear not. Here upon this beloved toil you shall have that justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Fear not. Your people by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God will bestow it." Gen. Pershing Praises Race.

to the audience by Senator Harding, General Pershing caught the crowd by declaring that -While 1 am nut a Baptist, I feel if I remain much leneer under the spell of Baptist oratory I might ask you to take me into your church." There was a revmnding response from the crowd, of "We'll do it, General: we'll do it!" Continuing, General Pershing said "It is indeed a privilege for me to have this opportunity of saying just a word to the representatives of the colored people of this country, as commander in chief of the American forces during the great war to tliank you for the splendid service that was rendered me and our country and the Allies by the fine young manhood whom you sent abroad to fight for liberty and for freedom. The' colored people of America are lo be congratulated uhui their magnificent showing, both at home and abroad, and we are all to le congratulated, for without that support would no) have been able to win the victory as cany as we aia. rTTTW-nirwyrm nrr sm oftrnua i wownea joicrrepamOfis. tnU OtKtCTIOMS OM SVs4r BOTTLE IP pa is ra hi I'i 1 ll I3fg-J I1 if IKSpIlife THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Tho Week's Meetings.
