XXXIII
AT THE LINCOLN MONUMENT, SPRINGFIELD,
ILLINOIS, JUNE 4, 1903

It is a good thing that the guard around the tomb of
Lincoln should be composed of colored soldiers. It was
my own good fortune at Santiago to serve beside colored
troops. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for
the country is good enough to be given a square deal
afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and
less than that no man shall have.
