HEW T O THE E 1 IV E.Vol.CHICAGO, APRIL tttt, 1003.IV©. 80FREE THOUGHT AFRICAThe Land of Hannibal Side by Side with Free Thought Jap an, the Land of OyamaJulius F. Taylor.Editor The Broad Ax. Chicago Comrade:Glad to learn that you are going to snuff out Booker Washington's misleading false educational light to opening the columns In the Chicago Broad Ax. to the full and free discussion of the foremost question in the world's affairs. Next to the advent of Japan affairs now in dally conflict with the Holy Catholic Russia, comes in importance. the free thought Atheistic African question. Japan has produced her Oyama and Africa haa produced her Hannibal. The two are twins. With your hand on this mighty lever you cannot fall to kindle the flame of self inspired, self confidence, race pride and human self reverence in the breasts of the young and advancing Negroes of the-New World. What the Japanese have done, the Negroes can do. The day of such teachers of race servility and mind degrading, reason dethroning religious Buperetii'.v/n as Booker T. Washington has passed. The Broad Ax has sounded Booker T Washington's death knell. That man has done more to cow the spirit of the American Negro and plant in him the Bplrit of servility and menialege and encourage the spirit of inferiority than all other influences combined. He is Cute. Booker is. Understands the game of A. K-Free thought, civilized, educated Atheistic Africa, the companion of free thought Atheistic Japan, what a theme!Oar plan should be to select colored young ladles for agents of the paper at the East We shall also be able to find the right representative of thennnpr for France in New Orleans. Ination: a mind enslaving thing of unspeakable horror Into which the Negro in his despair Is now being drawn craftily step by step by Jesuit Intrigue The Romanising of the Republican party Romanised the American Negro through and I trough politically. From political Romanism to ecclesiastical Romanism is but a step. And yet the polite Protestants of the South close their eyes to this fact and are playing into the hand of the Jesuit. So from one depth of degredatlon to another the American Negro Is being drawn down. down. down. HIb only escape Is to transfer his Allegiance from Washington and Rome to Paris and assert his manhood as a vital and essential preordained part of the evolution of that universal Free Humanity* Divine Of Its Own Right, of which free thought Japan, is to be the finishing event of the world wide triumph of Socialism and the Universal Brotherhood of Man.CHARLES GANO BAYLOR.Providence.
