f revolution, when law is swept away.

I, therefore, very earnestly and solemnly beg that the Governors of
all the States, the law officers of every community, and, above

champion of liberty, either for ourselves or for the world, who
does not reverence and obey the laws of our own beloved land, whose
laws we ourselves have made. He has adopted the standard of the
enemies of his country, whom he affects to despise.

The Negro braced himself, dismissed the German coldly from his household
and forbade the pro-German enter. From afar off the enemy propagandist
could resort but to derision and ridicule. What an attempt at laughter

be choking with the ridiculousness of the thing when Liberia offered her
services! He flouted the idea of Negro expertness in handling weapons of
modern warfare. He ridiculed the idea of Negro discretion in ideas of
likely foreign origin. He questioned the potency of the Negro's native
talent to meet the European situation. It was the black man's patriotic
fervor, ardent in response to the call of Old Glory, zealous with
passionate love of fireside and homeland, poignant with the throbbing
