Numbered Among Our Population Are Some 12,000,000 Colored People. Under Our Constitution Their Rights Are Just As Sacred As Those Of Any Other Citizen. It Is Both A Public And A Private Duty To Protect Those Rights. The Congress Ought To Exercise All Its Powers Of Prevention And Punishment Against The Hideous Crime Of Lynching, Of Which The Negroes Are By No Means The Sole Sufferers, But For Which They Furnish A Majority Of The Victims.

Rights

We Do Not Need More Material Development, We Need More Spiritual Development. We Do Not Need More Intellectual Power, We Need More Moral Power. We Do Not Need More Knowledge, We Need More Character. We Do Not Need More Government, We Need More Culture. We Do Not Need More Law, We Need More Religion. We Do Not Need More Of The Things That Are Seen, We Need More Of The Things That Are Unseen. It Is On That Side Of Life That It Is Desirable To Put The Emphasis At The Present Time. If That Side Be Strengthened, The Other Side Will Take Care Of Itself.
