XIR. WADE ADDRESSES THE
COLORED ORDER OF GIDEON
!If Negroes Are to Accomplish Any
| Thing it Must I?e on Their Own Soil
j Goldsboro, X. (\. Aug. S.—“lf there
jis any hope for your people; if they
are to become a power in our civilizn
-1 tion : n factor in our industrial develop-
I ment: if they are,to receive the grent
! est benefit from your labor andto create
'a province of permanent existence, it
must bo upon their own soil, among
tlieir own people, and by virtue of the
i concerted effort to make each individual
a better citizen of his community and
state.”
1 This statement was J made by Stacey
XV. XX’ade, State Insurance Commission
er, in the course of an address before
the (irand Lodge of Knights of Gideon,
(XegroY in session here.
“Xo man or woman among your
people or mine can ever break away
from indigence and servdlty so iong as
lie or she makes no effort to learn and
apply the rules of health, sanitation ami
thrift, said Mr. Wade. “Lowmimied
noss has no place in society, re'igion or
business, for ‘As a man thinketh m his
heart, so is he' and life in every sphere
or clime is a continual struggle for
supremacy, a survival of the fittest, re
gardless of racial equalities or environ
ment.
“Sixty years of constant struggle have
taught the people of both races that ‘Xo
man livetli to himself, nor by bread
alone.' That period has been character
ized by achievements in your race no
less remarkable than in my own, and
each added year marks a higher step in
the progress of both toward an ideal
citizenship. I feel that jt is especially
fortunate that during uiis period .vou
have been thrown among people under
going same transition and facing
the same prob’ems. A people • who have
understood your characteristics. who
have sympathized with and undertaken
to aid in every movement looking to
your anvancement.
To indicate how successful our com
bined efforts in this direction have
been, contrast your lor ‘with that ot the
foreign element that, lias immigrated to
our northern shores in a constant
stream, not .is slaves, but as free men.
eligible for American citizens. They, no
doubt, were attracted there by the same
lure that now tempts so mhuy of your
own people. XX’liat has their stay in that
country of wealth aud culture done for
them? Visit any metropolis of the Xorth
composed of ii mixed ]M>pulation. and
notwithstanding the great opportuni
ties which arc said to exist in rhose
states, you will find the foreign born
housed in the slum districts sweltering
in an unbearable heat or shivering in
intense cold, living in fitlh and poverty,
with no history to be proud o/ aud lit
tle hope for a future. (Jut of such a
heterogeneous mass has grow A crime
and thievery, the gangster and the gun
men. It is a natural condition for «ny
section where there is a lack of
sympathy. concerted effort, and a
uniformity in purpose build for the
future. Compare their progress with
the wonderful achievements of the
Southern negro during the same period.
'A our great institutions of learing in
which so many have seen the light of a
Kw day and from which thousands have
?n dispersed to shed their great in
fluence and lead your people forward, to
.greater opportunities. These things
could have happened in no other coun
try. no other section of these great
United States except in the South, for
in no other quarter of the Globe are the
institutions of the people so democratic
and the aimsiof its people so unselfish.
"Here your leaders have caught a
vision of the possibilities which lie in
organization, and it is a significant fact
that you have attained your problem
at. its weakest, point. The secret of fail
ure in nearly every reform or grear un
dertaking lies in the lack of organiza
tion, and in this, your people, like most
of the southei’n born have been lacking.
It is at this point that Societies and
Fraternal organizations such as
have entered into the combat and car
ried the standard to now heights. It is
here thAt useful citizenship is taught
by precept and example. It is «within
your halls tjhnt heresy has been put to
rout and true Americanism enthroned.
"I have been delighted to see a
sentiment of reversion among ' your
people of the south toward the fanqiful
scheme hatched by Xorthern promoters
who have been endeavoring to show
seed of disconte and anarchy in your
midst that they might thereby reap
personal power and. profit and it is
gratifying to. know that their leader., the
notorious Xlarcus Garvey has been con
victed in his’ own stronghold and right
ly punished for the fraud he has en
deavored to perpetrate upon your
PAGE THREE
people.
"From quite another source, an ef
fort has been made throughout, the
South to breed dissatisfaction among
.vour people with their lot in life.
Tempting offers of attractive pay and
social advantages have been held out as
an .inducement to the negro of the South
to t forsake, their, friends and native soil
to which '.they age adapted by nature
and temperameqit for - the wealth they
have been told awaits V them in the
North- It is a tribute to your leader
ship that so few of them have been de
luded into taking this unwise step."
‘As insurance Commissioner," Mr.
'*• od.» i upturned. "I l ave laid an •*u
of usual opportunity to study the reord
of fraternal societies in our state
during the past decade and to note their
effept in com muni ties where they are
properly organized and conducted, and
T ant paying tribute they justly deserve
in saying that wherever they have taken
root,; there ' is a striking of
friction and discontent aud a noticeably
high standard of citizenship."
"ft is probably too mush to say that,
the relation between the twfr races in
every community is all that it should
be.” the Commissioner said in con
clusion,?‘but the same may be kaid as to
the elation* iqf the individuals of either
race between themselves, and only by
hnrominfeing the individuals of either
race with each other add inspiring them
with a common -aim toward education
and usefulness, fan ideal relations be
brought about.
"If all our people respond as indi
viduals to the efforts of both races in
this direction, there will be no racial
problems, no social handicap, for with
their advancement will come new op
portunities for employment and service
and true to our motto: ‘The weak will
grow strong aud the strong grow great
through the length of our great North
State.’ ” I,
