To the Editor of the Planet: Dear Sir,—Your very timely com ment on the indispensable service rendered the race by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is praiseworthy and highly deserving of that paramount organization. For it is to the great efforts of “this truly remarkable aggregat on of colored folks” that Doctor Sweet of Detroit Mich, owes much for the freedom he now en joys. In such cas&s race prejudice is paramount to justice and law. It is therefore evident that Doctor Sweet and others with him in the case were facing long terms in prison if this remarkable aggregation of colored folks as referred to in your editorial comment had not come to their as-| sistance. Thus instead of much talk this great organization is showing the world what it can do, what it has done and what it is now doing In thinking of this great organiza tion’s achievement and t)he in dispensable service it has rendered the race, making more secure their social condition the writer is remind ed of your praiseworthy labors to save the lives of Solomon Marable, Pokey Barnes -and Mary Abernathy, 28 years ago. All three of these' poor colored people would have been hung if the editor of the Planet had not gone to their assistance. It was1 therefore, through his timely en deavors that two of the three were saved and given their freedom, while the force of evidence and adverse sentiment hung the third. These timely endeavors by the educated and the cultured of our leaders for our social betterment is in the writer’s judgment far better than the phantom ships of the Vaunted Black Star line which has not as yet materialized before the eyes of the “four hundred million negroes of the world ” It is not clear to the writer just where they get this vast number, but such talk . will not free Africa of Anglo1 Saxon rulo Tuo white man is in Africa and as the years go by j,e seems to root himself deeper and deeper in the African soil. If then, the negro would go there for a permanent resi dence he would have the same kind of haughty prejudice to fight there as he is now fighting here. There fore in view of this fact, the great organization at 69 Fifth Avenue,' New York, is of a greater service1 to the race than any other social flfftrregation r.ow in existence. For our concern and advancement and mater al development is here, not in Africa. ROBERT W. CARTER.
