vv- ' as EBRECS. sf VOL. I. LANCASTER, OHIO, JUNE, 1909. No. I. HAT is the secret of our country's boasted greatness? fi Is it not that worth is recognized no matter where it is found, nor in what dressj The doors of the White House have swung open to the back- woods child of Kentucky, to the poor boy who drove a mule on a towpath, as well as to the digni- fied and cultured Father of His Country. We point with pride to the fact that our nation asks not, who was your father, not how much money or land do you possess: but, who are you? What are you doing for humanity? How doiyou want to serve your country? This has not always been so, for into the bor- ders of this Land of Freedom there came one day a race of men whose limbs were shackled in slavery. And because this thing existed some people thought that it ought to exist. But the leaders of this country awoke to the fact that the slavery of human beings ruined the lives of the slave, the slave, the ambitions of their mas- ters, and of our country. Then slavery was destroyed. The doors of Education and Citizenship swung open to the Negro. And the world has been praising this attitude ever since. But, strange to say, these same people who admitted that the Negro was a human being, a man with aspir- ations and ambitions, still refuse to 'give him credit for his real worth and do not fail to condemn him because he is a Negro, or be- cause some members of his race are not what they ought to be. OUR RACE.. As we look back in the past his- tory of this country we see the Puritan Fathers, who because 'they could not worshipas they wanted to, came to this country. And al- though the coast was barren and cold and they were surrounded by hostile Indians, yet the gates of op- portunity swung open to them, bid- ding them godspeed in the build- ing of a home of Freedom and Peace. Thus it has beentor every nation. We see the Germans, Jews, Italians, and the Greeks leaving the homes of their fathers and being received with open arms into this great Land of Lib- erty. But what of the Negro? When he was taken from his home in Africa and brought to the New World, he did not come as a free man to a free country, but as a slave. No man has undergone such hardships as the Negro. The Anglo-Saxon can look back with pride at his ancestry. For on the pages of Anglo-Saxon history shine the names of Burns and Cromwell, Milton and Chaucer, Gladstone and Burke, and for cen- turies the Anglo-Saxon race has been surrounded by an atmos- phere of ambition and encourage- ment. Has been the conquering race ofthe world. But the Negro of today can only think of his an- cestors as being a dumb and uned- ucated race whose lot was slavery and whose ambitious efforts were met with hatred and scorn. But the coast line of the Negro's na- tive home shut him off in his infancy from any intercourse with the civilized world. Instead cf the invigorating cold ofthe north, he was surrounded by the burning sands of the desert. Instead of homes of culture and refinement, he was cradled in the jungles of Africa, and when he at last received a glimpse into the fairyland of civilization it was with the lash across his back and the chains of slavery on his limbs. But cruel as his lot was, he never- theless, looking back at the dark- ness and ignorance of Africa, thanked God that he had at last come into the sunlight of civiliza- tion even though as a servant or slave. With this spirit of hopefulness he reached up his hand to the lead- ers of civilization and they helped him up out of slavery, and it is this same spirit of helpfulness that will help on to higher and better things. The tragedy of the Negro is in the color of his skin. The tendency of men is to class hu- man beings according to outward appearances, and thus it has come about that the Negro has been shut off to himself, a stranger in a crowd. The essential question then, with every Negro is How shall I meet this attempt to put me off by myself? This question in one form or another politically, indus- trially and socially is being met daily, almost hourly, by every Negro in this country. There was a time in the history ofthe Anglo-Saxon race when it refused to honor the hand of toil, because it was caloused, sunburnt and hard with labor, and when it did honor the hand of the so-call- ed gentleman it was soft in idle- ness and full of the earnings wrung from the sons of toil. But civilization has progressed so far today that these signs of toil are badges of honor, without which no
