EMANCIPATION HAS BEEN THE NEGRO'S WORST FOE So Says Negro Leader Who Declares It Alienated the Southern White Man In a notable address delivered in Little Rock, Ark., last Sunday to negroes, Dr. Wilkins, a negro leader, told them that in the matter of alienating the Southern white man from the negro emancipation had been the negro's worst foe. His address is "going the rounds" of the country. Among other things, he said: "I say hero now, once for all, if we are to celebrate this occasion (Emancipation day), we cannot in any conscience forget those who, in anguish and pain, still held out to us a hand without which we must have perished from the earth?our freedom a travesty, and Lincoln's proclamation would have had no place except as an epitaph of what might have been. Celebrate White Man's Kindness "Let us then celebrate this day in memory of their helpful friendship and in memory that we had the good sense to prove our worthiness of their benefactions by not resorting to torch or anarchy. And with a blush of shame that anywhere in our beloved Southland any negro's pretended friends supposed that Lincoln's proclamation ever comtemplated the immediate elevation of the ex-slave to place and power that meant the humiliation,. not only of the negro's best friends, but the destruction of that reliance which was the most important element in the remaking of this Southland. "Does anyone believe that Lincoln would ever have signed a paper in which ho could have foreseen such a saturnalia of wickedness as reigned over the South during the days of roconstructi'on ? A period of our history that every man who remembers it would gladly blot out if he could. No it would have been better for that great heart to be still in that noble breast than know that an instrument of his making could be so construed as to produce such a condition in the land of his birth. Clod was merci'fu* in litiMiiK nim irom sucn a scene, He never intended it. Xo! Not that man whoso tender heart held no malice And, like the Master of Galilee, ho taught love of one's enemies. A Touching Incident "Please excuse this seeming digression. I remember well, as if it was hut yesterday, when old mistress came in to the kitchen and told my motliei: " 'Aunt Jane, you are free. As free as I am. And you can go.' "She wore a large gray shawl, ana as she turned to go I saw tears on her pale cheeks. My mother caught hold of her shawl and with streaming eyes said: "'Miss Jennie, where shall I go? What shall I do? T have nine children, and I know no one but you. Why luunh I lCt?*v HI . . % "We were all crying now. ' " 'Oh, no, Aunt Jane', she said, :you need go nowhere. You can stay right here if you wish, and as long as I have a crust of bread you and your children shall eat. I will pay you what wages I can. And as long as r live and you stay, if you suffer I will suffer too'. "We stayed and she did suffer much more than we. This scene was at th?' moment being enacted in thousands r>f homes all over this broad land. Those words were as the star of Beth lohem on that dark night to every negro then on the plantations of the South, as he stood dumfounded at seeing old mistress in tears. Denounces Carpetbagger "And when old master came to his ililapidated home from the war, he said 'amen' to every word that old mistress had said. And all was well, until the carpetbagger came and, with his damnable practices, preaching and promises, hatched the hell into which the South was plunged from '(>5 to '7f> and out of which the negro came reft of the friendship and help of those whom he knew and who knew him those whom he loved and who loved him. And the scamp fled with his ill gotten gains to safer quarters and left us to shift the best we could and meet the storm of an outraged manhood. Today I wish you to celebrate the release of our friends from a worse slavery, a more galling yoke, than we ever wore. And let us celebrate by returning to our first and best love, and let us join hearts ami hands with them and sing with all the soul: "'1 never will leave or forsake thee. Where you live I will live, your Cod shall be my God, And where you die there will I b buried'. The Real Freedom "If this celebration shall mean this to us, then long we shall have occasion to shout 'free at last'. This i. the only kind of blow that we may strike which will mean liberty and freedom. It is in "this way, and in this way only, will the negro in America, ever be free. Let us first free the white man from the impressions we made on him under vicious leadership of false friends,and then we may hope for him to free us from the bonds which our own hands have welded about our feet. And not until that day arrives can we have an emancipation celebration that will mean anything. "Let us regain the love which we forfeited for the few political husks on which we fed, and that love will make us free. At present I think \?? are foolish for celebrating an event which has meant nothing to us but humiliation, persecution and alienation, degredation, obloquy, scorn and contempt. We are celebrating an event that has never taken place, and you know it as well as I. But some things did take place on that memorable first day of January. The ruined Southern white man gave us homes and food. He fed us when hungry, f~ _ & fJervous? f< mjMrs. Walter Vincent, ^ Pleasant Hill, N.
