FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1911. Christmas Casualties. The list of Christmas casualities thi3 year may not be as large as they have been in other years, but are too large for a city of this size, and more so when it is taken into consideration that Nashville is in fact the Athens of the South and it is expected that with her splendid public school sys tem and her numerous colleges and t universities she would have a rea sonably sane citizenship. It will be observed by a perusal of the list that , the majority of the Ne groes injured are young men between the, ages of 18 and 30, while the ma jority of the' white' persons ' injured were between the ages of 5 and 14. This is ;a bad, showing for i the black men and shows that there is a laxity somewhere, that must be checked. Christmas' is a time when all should be happy; but ! it ' is imperative that the people should be taught the real meaning of the celebration, and what happiness is;.,that getting drunk and shooting everybody, .friend as well as foe, is foolishness, and, is invariably the . result' of liquor in and reason out We' should rejoice, if with' a loud shout, let it be to the glory of him who gave his son a "ransom for many." . ;. . ; , " ? 5 The Emancipation Celebration. At this season of the year,, it is generally the case that Negroes throughout the country discuss and in some instances celebrate the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. It often happens that men who were residents of different sections of the country at that time are now living in the same community. For example, a Texan who has been accustomed to celebrate the occasion the fourth day of June is living in the same neighborhood with a Tennessean who has been taught to celebrate on the first day of January. You see how far apart they are. These two men en gage in a friendly discussion but part without reaching an agreement. What is true in the case of the Texan and Tennesseon is true of Negroes of other states and sections of states, ond on we go as a race, divided over a matter that is most vital to us. All agree that the Proclamation wa3 written, issued, and put into effect. The one thing the Negroes should do is to discuss this matter thoroughly and settle on a day accept able to the Negroes of all sections of the country. It should not be hasti ly decided, but ample time should be given for our ablest men to discuss this question and then it would prob ably be a good plan for each state to elect representatives to a nation convention and there have the matter settled by the people once for all Then Negroes in every state should waive their favorite days and all join in one national celebration from sea to sea and from the lakes to the Gulf. Troubles Within. Colored folks should understand that our greatest troubles will be found within. The race must be- ANEW YEAR'S GREETING. By PROF. KELLY MILLER. ! To Colored Men: Greetings I am taking advantage of the ap proaching New Year to address you a few words of serious greeting. You represent the first generation of your race, now grown to fullness of the stature of manhood, under the influ ence and power of education. You are; the first ripened fruit of philan thropy and by you alone will its wis dom or "folly be justified. The hope of the r race Is focused in you. You are'to furnish' the headlight to direct the path through' the dangers and vi cissitudes of the wilderness. For want of vision the people perish; for want of wise direction they stumble and fall. There is no body of men in the world to-day, nor in the history of the world, who have, or ever have had, greater responsibilities or more cov eted opportunities than devolve upon you. It is indeed a privilege to be a Negro of light and leading in such a time as this. The incidental embar rassments and disadvantages which, for the time being must be endured, are not to be compared with the far more exceeding weight of privilege and glory which awaits you if you rise to those high demands. For such a privilege well may you forego the pleasures of civilization for a season. Your world consists of ten million souls, who have wrapped up in them all the needs and necessities, powers and possibilities of human nature; they contain all the forms of civ ilization, from its roots to its flores cence. Yours is tne tasK to develop and vitalize 'these smothered faculties and potentialities. Your education will prove to be but vanity and vexa tion of spirit, unless it ultimates in this task. You are the salt of this earth, and if the salt loses its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? If the lieht within the racial world be dark ness, how great is that darkness! The highest call of the civilization of the world to-day is to the educated young men of the belated races. The ' educated young manhood of Japan, China, Egypt, and Turkey must lift their own people up to the high level of their own high conception. They must: partake of the best things in the civilization of Europe; and show them unto their own people; mYour task is the same as theirs,' -intensified, per haps, by the more difficult' and intri cate tangle of circumstances and con ditions with which you must deal. You cannot afford to sink into sloth ful satisfaction and do your little job, draw your little pay, and enjoy your tasteless leisure, and with Inane self deception hide your little head under the-shadow 1 of your wings like the bolish bird, which thereby hopes to escape the wrath to come. .; As you look over the field the whole sweep of racial movement seems, to be gin tne worK or seii-punncanon. Many of our leaders disregard funda mental principles and 'are as unjust to their own people! as are many of the white Negro-haters," whom they abuse and criticize. .The Richmond Plonet is correct in its contention. Negroes must learn to be courageous to the point that they will frown on the public official who betrays their confidence. We call atention to a New Year's Greeting in another column from the pen of Prof. Kelly Miller. We urge that every one read this mes sage, it is worth while. If old Santa Claus did not drown while on his. way back to toy land he must have worn a whole rubber suit, bat the parents who met him are not grieving at all about his wel fare. Shuster is coming home and Russia ' is seeing to it that he does not side; track. The atmosphere is more con-1 genial on this side of the creek. ! APTHOUS STOMATITIS. By Geo. R. White, M. D., D. V. S., State Live Stock Inspector Nash ville, Tenn. Apthous Stomatitis, or "Sore Mouth and Feet" of cattle raisers of the concern to the cattle raisers of the Southern States in general and Ten nessee in particular. Its ravages have been particularly prevalent and wide spread during the past season. The direct losses by. death have by no means been great. The indirect losses -on -account of loss of milk and flesh have amounted to thousands of dollars. . From the number of telephone and telegraph messages and letters re ceived, I would judge that the anx irity occasioned wherever this disease has appeared was great. Most stock men, and some few veterinarians were under the impression that an out break of the well-known . "European Foot and Mouth Disease" had again made its appearance in America. retrograde. The race has been dis franchised and jim-wrowed and segre gated. Lynching and burning of Ne groes amid horrors of , indescribable atrocity, has become a fixed American institution. The Christian conscienc9 has become sere, and only Christ in Heaven weeps. There is no other source of help but God and you. The white race through philanthropy has done much; but its vicarious task was practically completed when it developed you. You must do the rest. Our gratitude can never repay the debt we ' owe. They spoke for us when our tongues were tied; they pleaded for us when we were speechless. But now our faculties are unloosed; we must stand on our own footing. The greatest gratitude that the beneficiary can show to the benefactor is, as soon as possible, to do without his benefac tion. True, we are not yet able to cut loose wholly from the benevolent assistance; we still need some more earrings and finger-rings and other furnishings from the Egyptians, but the great outstanding fact remains, the task of race statesmanship and reclamation Is not primarily the white man's burden, but yours. Upon you will depend its success or failure. As far as righteous insistence upon inalienable human rights will permit, live at peace and helpful co-operation with all men, North and South, East and West. But never under any in ducements of cowardice or prudence or thrift, should you deviate from the straight line of righteousness, which alone points out the way and points the way out. Moral energy and race loyalty should be brought to bear upon your task whether you be engaged in the production of wealth or in the more condite pursuits, which administer to the higher needs of man. The white race is fast losing faith in the Negro as an efficient and ac ceptable factor in the equation of our civilization. Curtailment of political, civil and general privilege and oppor tunity is but the outward expression of this apostacy. As the white, man's faith in you decreases,, your faith in yourselves , must " increase. , Every Negro In Atnerica ?hpuld,,be , taught daily, with his face turned toward, the light, to utter this- prayer: ."Lord, I believe; help thou iny unbelief!" Through courage, expressed in the active as -well as the passive voice, pourage to do and courage to endure, you must assert and exert your man hood; that you will not only believe in yourselves, but i the, a rest of the world will believe. In, you. -.Then, and not till then, all will be well. Such is the mark and the high call ing to which you are called.
