Maier & Berkele In the course of his annual address to the members of the National Negro Business League at Big Bethel church Wednesday night, Booker T. Washing ton, president of the league, gave the members of hla race some sterling ad vice. The following la an extract from hla address; It la well that the National Negro Business League holds this acaalon right here In the heart of the South, where tho great body of our people live and where their salvation la to be worked out. Thla organisation does not undertake to concern Itself with all the Interests of the race, for there are other organizations that deal with the polities!, religious and educational Interests of our people. From the first, and I hope thla meet Ing will prove no exception, the Na tional Negro Business League has steadfastly held to the policy of stimu lating the activities of our people In the direction of agriculture, Industrial and business enterprises. It Is the policy of this organisation to hold up before the race Its advantages rather than Its disadvantages, Its successes rather than its failures; to call tho at tention of the world to the efforts of our friends rather than to those of our enemies. We believe that while the world may pity a crying, whining race, It seldom respects |t. In a word, the National Negro Business League, while not over looking or Justifying Injustice or wrong or falling to recognise the value of other methods seeking to reach the same end, feels that the race can make progress and secure the greatest pro tection by Its efforts In progressive, constructive directions, by constantly presenting to the world tangible and visible evidences of our worth as a race. We believe that the Influence of one great success In really accomplish ing something that the world respects will go furthest In promoting our In terests. Let constructive progress be the dominant note among us In every section of America. An Inch of pro gress Is worth more than a yard of fault-finding. The races that have grown strong and useful have not done so by depending upon finding fault with others, but by presenting to the world evidences of the progress In agricul ture, Industrial nnd business life, as well as through religious, educational and civic growth. Right here In Georgia we have abun dant evidence that the negro, In spite of difficulties, Is learning this lesson at a rapid rate. It Is safe to say that the negro In Georgln owns at least |!0,- 000,000 worth of taxable property, and that our people In other sections of the South have made almost equal pro gress. Within the past year I have In spected and studied the conditions and progress of our people In the Northern nnd Western states as I have never done before, and I have no hesitation In reaffirming my former opinion that the Southern states offer the best permanent abode for the masses of our people. While many Individuals may find prosperity outside iff the South and have the right to make the effort, yet laying the foundation for growth In life essentials, which this rganlsntlon seeks first of nil to.pro mote, I know of no section of this country where our people are making more progress and where tile future Is more full of promise than right here In the South. In thus expressing myself, I do not overlook the fart that we have a highest degree creditable, nor do overlook tnoso things In the South, which often discourage many of our pcoplef Does Not Fear Immigration, In connection with jour future here In the South, I do not share the fear that Immigration will retard or pre veqt our progress. The millions of unoccupied and unused acres In the South have yet to be used by some one, and the preaent scarcity of all forms of labor upon which business prosperity In a large measure rests, cannot always remain unsatisfied. A few thousand strong, sturdy, thrifty foreigners each county will go far toward quick ening our energy nnd sharpening our wits, by bringing their healthy compe tition which la very much needed In many sections of the South. Our sal vation Is to be found not In our ability to keep nnother race out of territory, but In our learning to get as much out of the soli, out of the occupations, or business, as any other race can get out of theirs. The more I study our conditions nnd needs, tho more I am convinced that there Is no surer road by which we can reach civic, moral, educational and religious development than by laying the foundation In tho ownership and cultivation of the soil, tho saving of money, commercial growth and the skillful, conscientious performance of any duty with which ws are entrusted. This policy does not mean the limiting or circumscribing of the activities or ambitions of the race. Progress through this method means the exercise of patience, faith, courage and eternal vigilance, but there Is no escape from It. It Is the road that all nations havs traveled, which hpve gotten upon their feet. There Is much that the brave, Intel ligent, patriotic white men of America can do for us; there Is much that wo can do for ourselves. The executive authorities should see to It that every law Is enforced, regardless -of race or color, that the weak are protected against Injustice from the strong. We have examples In several Southern States that this Is being done In an encouraging degree. Without thla en couragement and protection of the law It Is not possible for the negro to suc ceed as a laborer, or In any line of bus iness. Ntgro Commits Too Much Crime. On the negro's part we have a duty. Our leaders should see to It that the criminal negro Is gotten rid of when ever possible. Making all allowances for mistakes. Injustice and the Influ ence of racial prejudice, I have no hesi tation In saying that one of the ele ments In our present situation that gives me most concern Is the largo number of crimes that are being com mitted by members of our race. The negro Is 'committing too much crime, North and South. We should see to It, as far as our Influence extends, that crimes are fewer in number; otherwise the race will permanently suffer. The crime of lynching everywhere and ut all times should be condemned, and those who commit crlmee of any nature should be condemned. Our Southland today has no greuter enemy to business progress than lynchers and those who provoke lynching. In this some connection let'us bear In mind that every man, white or black, who takes the law Into his hands to lynch or bum or shoot human beings supposed to be or guilty of crime. Is Insulting the executive. Judicial nnd law-making bodies of the state In which he resides. Lawlessness In one direction will inevitably lead to law lessness In other directions. This Is the experience of the whole civilised world. In this connection let us consider the classes of negroes that do not commit crime and are seldom charged with You have noticed it; everybody has; that air of independence and se curity there is about tho young man with a sav ings account. He has confidence in himself and his ability. A savings account cre ated it. It will do tho same thing for you. 3 1-2 per cent interest paid on deposits. Georgia Savings Bank and Trust Company. 17 S.

I think I would be safe In Miyliyt that no graduate of Clark University, At lanta Baptist College. Atlanta Univer sity, Morris Brown College or Spelman Seminary has been arrested for any crime In Atlanta during the last twelve months. Ignorance Meant Crime. In this we have a strong, practical demonstration right here at home in favor of eajeatton of all classes of our citizenship. Ignorance will always mean crime, and crime will mean an unwleldly burden fastened about the neck of the South. The only safety or both aces Is In the direction of ed ucatfon, industry nnd high character. I have named the classes that do not commit crime. Which Is the class that Is guilty, as a rule, of criminal action? They are the loafers, the drunkards and gamblers, men for the main part without permanent employment, who own no homes, who have no bank ac count, who glide from one community to another without interest In any one spot. One of the practical courses that men such as those who composo this Business League, our leaders In the pulpit and every sphere of life, should pursue, Is to try to get hold of the floating class of our people and see to Jt that their lives are so changed as to make them cease to disgrace our race and disturb our civilization. We can not be too frank or too strong In dis cussing the harm that the committing of crime Is doing to our race. Let us stand up straight and speak out and act In no uncertain terms In this direc tion. Let us do our part, and then let us call upon the whites to do their part. Let us never grow’ discouraged as a race. Right here In the South there are more things upon which the races agree thnn upon which they disagree. Let us not be so much absorbed In our grievances that wo fall to remembor our successes and opportunities. In the Southern states the negfo has organized and is now conducting thir ty-three bAnks. He has in the United States over one hundred drug stores. Almost every town and city In the South has Its negro grocery store and other places of business. There Is prac tically no section of the South where tho negro farmer, mechanic, merchant nnd banker cannot find encouragement, opportunity and prosperity. In this respect Get us not overlook the fact that many similar opportunities are at our door. very conservatlce figure the negro Ih now paying taxes upon over $800,000,000 worth of property—and I suppose the negro Imitates other races in not always paying taxes upon all of his belongings. • What we have accomplished In tho past, In the face of many difficulties, It n guarantee of what wo can attain to in tho future. Finally, let us cultivate a spirit of racial pride. Let us learn to be as proud of our race, at the Frenchman, German, the Japanese or the Italian Is of his.’ The race that has faith and pride in Itself will eventually win the respect, the confidence and co-opera tion of the rest of the world.
