Goldsboro. .August 8.?"If there
is to be any hop*' for your people
If they are to become a power in
our industrial development; if
they are to receive the greatest 'ben
efit from your labors and to create
a province of permanent existence.
It must be upon their own soil
among their own people, and by vir
tue of the concerted effort to make
each Individual a better citizen of
his community and sUte."
This statement was made by
Stacey W. Wade. State Insurance
Commissioner, in the course of an
address before the Grand Lodge of
Knights of Gideon, (Negro) in ses
sion here.
'\Nb man or woman among your
people or mine can ever break away
from indigence and servility so long
as he or she makes no effort to
x learn and apply the rule* of health,
sanitation and thrift." said Mr.
Wade. "Lowmlndedness has no
place In society, religion or in busi
ness, for 'As a man thinketh In his
heart, so is he" and and life in every
sphere or cllne Is a continual
struggle for supremacy, a survival
of the fltttest. regardless of racial
equalities or environment.
"Sixty years of constant struggle
have taught the people of both races
that 'No man ltveth to himself, nor
by bread alone.' That period has
been characterized 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 It Is especially fortunate
that during this period you have
been thrown among people under
going the same transition and facing
the same problems. A people who
have understood your characteris
tics, who have sympathized with and
undertaken to aid in every move
ment looking to your advancement.
Comi*nre With Foreigner*
To Indicate, how successful our j
combined efforts have been, contrast |
your lot with that of the foreign j
element that his Immigrated to our
northern shores In a constant'
stream, not as. slaves, hut ps free i
men. eligible for American citizen:j
ship. They, no doubt, ? were at- I
traded there by the same lure that 1
now tempts so many of your own I ]
people. What has their stay In j
that country of wealth done for I
them? Visit any metropolis of the |
North, composed of a mixed popu-j I
latlon, and notwithstanding the i
great opportunities which are said to 1
exist in these states, viu will find I
the foreign born housed in the slum 1 1
districts sweltering in an unbeara-11
?ble heat or shivering In intense i
cold, living in filth and poverty, with I
no history ftp be proud of and little .\
; hope for oTuturo.- Out of such a 1
heterogeneous mass has grown crime
and thievery, the gangster and the
gunmen. It Is a natural condition
?for any section where there js a 1
lack of sympathy, concerted effort t
and a uniformity in purpose to build Jl
tor the futurfc. Compare their pro
gress with the wonderful achieve- 1
ments of the Southern negro during
^the ?ame period. I
"Y6ur great institutions of learn- 1
ing in which so many have seen the
Bight of a new day and from which
thousands have been dispersed to ,
shed their great influence and lead (
your people forward to greater op-1
portunltles. These things could
I have happened in no other country,
in 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 aims of its peo
ple so unselfish.
Have Vision
"Here your leaders have caught a I
vision of the possibilities which lie I
In organisation, and It Is a slgnlfl-fl
cant fact that you have attacked the!
problem at Its weakest point. The I
aecret of failure in nearly every re-I
form or great undertaking lies in I
lack of organisation, and In this. I
your people, like most of the South-1
ern born have been larking. It is I
at this point that Societies and Fra-1
ternal organisations such as yours I
have entered Into the convbat and!
carried the standard to new heights.!
It U here that useful cltlsenshlp Is I
taught by precept and example. It I
is within your halls that heresy has!
?been put to route and true Aineri-I
canlsm enthroned.
"I have been dellphted to see n I
aentlment of reversion among your I
people of the south toward the fan-1
clful scheme hatched by Northern I
promoters who have been endeavor-1
ing to show seed of discontent and I
anarchy In your midst that they!
* might thereby reap personal power I
\ and profit and It Is gratifying to I
' know that their leader, the notorious!
Marcus Gurvy ha* been convicted I
In his own stronghold and rightly]
punished for the fraud he had en-l

Few Are Deluded
From quite another source, an ef
fort has been made throughout the
Suuth to breed dissatisfaction among
ymir people with their lot in life.
. Tempting offers of attractive pay and
| soctat -advantages have been held out
as an Inducement to the negro of the
ISouth to forsake their friends and
I native soil to which they are adapt
Ied by nature and temperament for
I the wealth which they have been
I told awaits them In the North. It is
ka tribute to your leadership that so
jfew of hem have been deluded into
itaking this unwise step."
"As Insurance .Commissioner,"
1 Mr. Wade continued, "I have had an
! unusual opportunity to study the
? record of fraternal societies In ourj
state during the past decade and to |
note their effect In communities
where they are properly organized
and conducted, and 1 am paying tri-,
bute they Justly deserve in saying
that wherever they have taken root,!
there is a striking absence of fric-i
tlon and discontent and a noticeably i
high standard of citizenship." i
"It is probably too much to say
that the relation between the two'
races in every community is all that
it should be," the Commissioner said
ip coticluut. ?>, "but the same may be
said as to the relations jf the indi
viduals of either race between theui
? selves, and only by hamnnl/.i.ig the
I individuals of either race with
leach other and inspiring them
with a common aim toward
education and usefulness, can ideal .
relations be brought about.
"If all our people respond as indl- 1
viduals to the efforts of both races
I In this direction, there will be no
racial problems, no social handicap,
for with their advancement will j
come new opportunities for employ
ment and service and true to our j
motto: 'The weak will grow strong
and the strong grow great through
the length of our great North State."

DESIGN CARS TO PIT
CONDITIONS OF ROAD
Stockholm, August 8.?Sweden,
considering the motorizing of its
highway traffic, declares that the'
general establishment of regular au
tomobile passenger and truck service
can not wait for the construction of
new roads and the rebuilding of old
one*? but that motor vehicles must
be adapted to the roads.
The roads are to be divided into
four classes, according to the weights
which ihey are able to sustain. Trai
lers. rather than additional motor
trucks, ar to be used wherever the
traffic is large. A curious type of ve
hide is recommended for wiater usef
in northern Sweden. ThU car Is to,
have sleigh runners instead of front ]
wheels, and will be equipped with |
special drive wheels and gear.
For the financing of this new ser-j
? ice yearly subsidies have been pro
poned, as well as a government loan
fund. i
