Washington, is a negro not withstanding all of his culture and refinement. He belongs to the "inferior race" but the follow address delivered by him and printed in the Louisville Courier Journal may well be read by every citizen at this time of na tional crisis: "We have a record to defend, but not treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chains we fought to free white men—from Lexington to Carrizal —and returned again to our chains. No negro has ever in sulted the flag. No negro ever struck down a president of these of these United States. No negro ever sold a military map or secret to a foreign government. No negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will—justly and wrong ly—no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty. We have but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. Its language is our only tongue and no hyphen bridges or qualifies our loyalty. Today the nation faces danger from a foreign foe, treason stalks and skulks up and down our land, in dark councils intrigue is being hatched. I am a republican, but a Wilson re publican. Woodrow Wilson is my leader. What he commands me to do I shall do. Where he commands me to go I shall go. If he calls me to the colors, I shall not ask whether my colonel is black or white. I shall be there to pick out no color except the white of the enemy's eye. Grievances I have against this people, against this government. Injustice to me there is, bad laws there are upon the statute books, but in this hour of peril I forget —and you must forget—all thoughts of self or race or creed, or politics, or color. That boys is loyalty." y Will be at Philip after April 25th buying horses. Lou Kronick. tf Now is the time to list your land with Edw. A. Lins. Philip, S. Dak. W. N. FARMER, President C. T.
