Material Progress IN EVIDENCE AMONG NEGRO PEOPLE, BUT DISCONTENT IS WIDESPREAD Thinks Dr. DuBois Eminent Educator and Authority on Racial Matters Addresses Bethel Literary and Historical Society. Opposition is Urged To Discriminatory Legislation and Leaders Are Upbraided for Silently Submitting to Humiliations and Insults. (Franklin F. Johnson.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 5—Declaring that there was widespread discontent in the race, despite material progress, caused by the disfranchisement and other anti-race laws, Dr. W. E. Burghardt, director of the bureau of Publicity and Research for the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, thrilled a large and cultured audience at the opening session of Bethel Literary and Historical Association Inst night. The address may be said to be the initial one in the great campaign which is to be waged to arouse the American people against the injustice of Anti-Negro measures and proscriptions. Dr. DuBois' subject was "the Forward Movement", and the address was as follows: It is now some fifteen years since the dominant thought of the Negro race tried a new experiment in Negro advance, that is, new so far as the free Negro is concerned. It was in earlier years the only pathway open to the slave. He could not ask for freedom, or at least such asking was a waste of words, but he could by careful attention to the master's interests, real or supposed, obtain great concessions, and on the whole a comfortable living for at least himself and some of his race. This perfectly defensible policy of slavery days has been, as I have said, for the last fifteen years a more or less popular expressed theory of action among a large part of the race in America. The insistence on thrifty and material well-being in these fifteen years has undoubtedly stimulated thrift and set new business ideals So that on the whole we find a restless, almost nervous, pushing forward on the part of ten million men and with this a two-fold philosophy of its aims and meaning. Now along with the undoubted evidence of advance among Negroes have gone an overwhelming number of causes for dismay and apprehension. So far as the Negroes themselves are concerned, perhaps the only matter of distinct apprehension is their changed attitude toward education. After the war there was a desire, almost a craze for education of any and all kinds. Today the children of the rank and file of the Negro race are not being sent to school with any such unanimity and while one cause of this is there are few schools to send children to, it is also partially because parents are losing faith in education. Outside of the Negro race, however, and in the attitude of the dominant race there has come in the last fifteen years a series of disastrous events which calls for serious thought on our part. The disfranchisement movement which had reached only two states in 1895, has today swept over the whole Southern South, is pending in the border states and is actually trying to invade the North. The movement to cut down and discourage Negro edu- THE ADVOCATE. cation has been so successful that in the Southern South, the Negro public schools are worse than they were fifteen years ago, and in the border states they have not made reasonable advance. Not only this, but the support given to Negro private schools has been growing smaller and smaller while the Negro secondary schools supported by the states have had their curriculum progressively cheapened and spoiled in nearly every instance. Discrimination in civil rights has gone so far that the battle against it has apparently been given up, even in the North, and we face today continually an opinion among our own people that the wave of prejudice against Negroes in the United States is inevitable and that there is no use fighting it. Now, while I think it is perfectly true that the advance of the Negro race can be claimed as due to no one party or set of doctrines, on the other hand, it seems to me certain that the policy of trying to make friends with the enemies of the Negro race, of surrendering ground to them, of yielding without protest or argument has undoubtedly been responsible for a great many of the calamities which are threatening us. I think it is perfectly true that if there had been no such philosophy formulated we should have had to meet reaction from the sentimentalism of the War period, we would have to meet widespread disfranchisement, attack upon our civil rights and attack upon the education of our children; but I cannot believe that such a movement could have triumphed with the ease with which it has had it been met on our part, not by submission and surrender, but by thoughtful, dogged and persistent and unwavering opposition. I wonder if many of you will believe me when I say that the greatest and on the whole most unbearable argument that has been brought against my attitude in the last ten years has been the assertion which I have met time and time again that I am practically the only Negro in the United States who objects to present conditions; that I and a small group of personal friends are protesting and making a good deal of noise about distranchisement, civil rights and the curtailment of education, while, as a matter of fact, not only are the great mass of the colored people satisfied with their condition, but the real leaders of the race are also satisfied; that they are making no protest, that they are to use the current phrase "Optimists", and on the whole are well-satisfied with conditions as they now exist. I know, as you know, that it is perfectly, false. I know, as you know, that of the educated, thinking colored people, nine out of ten, demand precisely the things which I have been trying to demand, but the thing that exasperates me is that when I seek to prove this to doubting people who come to me for information. I find it exceedingly difficult to do so. If I send them for personal interviews to colored people, these colored people have their gibb of contentment ready. They are sure that the Negro has advanced, and that the white man is going to give them their rights, while they sit still to receive them. If I refer them to the Negro newspapers, I will find in their columns today almost no straight-out protest against present conditions. Personal inuendos, factional rights, petty jealousies and social doings practically fill them. If I refer to the speeches and the doings of our leading men, I find Doctor Washington in Europe assuring the world that all is well in the United States, and again and again men among us of education and ability meekly and silently submitting to humiliation and insult such as no man ought to bear without protest. All of which flatly contradicts my assertion that the Negroes (Continued on page six.) BECAUSE YOU ARE OF MY RACE IS NO REASON WHY YOU OUGHT TO BE MUGLED IN IDLENESS, DRINKHENESS AND INDECENCY.

Colored Institute AT BLUEFIELD HAS LARGEST THIRD WEEK IN ITS HISTORY. Graduates Make Good Some entering higher institutions while two get positions in city schools.—Student societies in full swing. Bluefield, Oct. 4—School opened with a larger attendance than ever before. At the end of the third week there was an enrollment of 85. The prospect is very encouraging for a very full school before the middle of the month. One thing especially noticeable is the number of young men. There are many new faces among the family, but all know for what they are here. A basket-ball team is being organized, and we expect to witness some good games later. Tennis has been in full sway since the first week. The boys are making strenuous efforts to get money for their Y. M. C. A. delegate to Toronto, Canada this fall. An entertainment under Miss Bradey's management will be given this month. Thaddeus Warren class 1905 entered the Department of Pharmacy of Howard University. Wm. Randolph, class 1908 entered the Theological Department. Henry L. Dickerson, Academic graduate 1910, entered the freshman class at Ohio State University, with advanced credit. He is doing work in the department of Science and Arts. There are several graduates in the Model School Department taking training work. Two graduates, Miss V. Free and Miss B. Thomas, are in the Bluefield City school. Miss E. Miles class 1908, and a graduate of the Domestic Science Department of Avery College, Pittsburg, is manager of the Boarding Department. A literary society has been organ ized and the first meeting was held October 1. The water main and hose for fire protection are nearly finished. The girls heating apparatus has been changed and renovated with surprisingly good results.. Reverend Coleman has been supplying at Christiansburg and several places in the coal fields the past month. At the anniversary exercises of the Raleigh St. M. E. church, Prof. Coleman and Prof. Sims spoke on different nights. The school choir furnished music both nights. And Disfranchisement will be the Negro's portion if the Democrats are elected. In his paper, The Weekly Courier, George Byrne to whom above all the credit should be given for the insertion of the jim crow car and disfranchisement planks in the platform of the state Democratic convention assembled here two years ago, says: I see there are a number of Negro clubs in this city, organized for the purpose of helping to elect the democratic county ticketi I am glad to see this, for I believe the success of that ticket is vital to the interest of this community. It shows that the colored people are alive to these interests, and willing to help forward them. It shows that they have come to see the truth with respect to the matter of disfranchising those members of their own race who are not fitted for the exercise of the franchise, for they know, of course, that the democratic candidates for the legislature will vote for a disfranchising amendment, if elected. They are pledged to do this by the democratic platform, and impelled as well, no doubt by their personal predictions. I believe the future good of the colored race will be best served by taking the franchise away from the members of that race at present, and making its return a matter for the citizens of the future to deal with. The organization of these Negro clubs means to me that the Negroes themselves see this matter in the proper light, and are acting accordingly. * The democratic candidates are also in favor of a separate coach law, and will no doubt give their support to such a measure, if they shall be elected which now seems assured for with the Negro votes taken away from it the republican party in Kanawha County will be absolutely helpless. * Thus do all things work together for good to them that serve the Lord. And the Democratic party has been faithful in the service. Concrete Examples OF RACIAL PROGRESS REPORT ED BY NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Brown Food Warmer Said to be one of most practical inventions of age, is work of Charleston man. — Lexington, Ky., makes a good showing. J. E. Williams, corner Long and Champion Ave., Columbus, Ohio handles hay, straw, grain and coal by the wholesale and retail. He has been engaged in the business for a number of years, doing about $10,000 worth annually. The real estate firm of Logan H. Stewart and Company of Evansville, Indiana, has been unusually successful in inducing our people in that city to buy homes and make business ventures. During the past two years they have made deals amounting to over $200,000. The volume of business done from Juity 29, 1909 to July 28, 1910, by the Forayth Savings and Trust Company, Winston-Salem, N. C., was $339,194.70. The receipts during this time were $170,221.23, while the expenditures, covering the same period were $168,937.47. J. S. Hill is the president and F. M. Kennedy, cashier. W. H. Wells, 262 1-2 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, is one of the leading photographers in the city. His work is of a superior quality and finish. Ninety per cent. of his patronage comes from the whites, which only goes to prove that if one knows what to do and how to do it he is not absolutely dependent upon any particular race for support and eventually success in his special line of business. Firman C. Brown, 500 Capitol St., Charleston, W. Va., has recently invented what he calls a Food Warmer in which resturants and hotels may send out meals to offices, apartments and private residences. It is one of the most simple, unique and practical inventions of the age. The Food Warmer is made in two sizes. The smaller one is designed for workingmen, with a capacity for one or two meals. It can be carried in the hand. The larger warmer weighs 12 to 15 pounds with a capacity for about twelve meals. It is intended to be used in winter or summer resorts to convey food from the hotel to the cottage. The mechanism of the Food Warmer consists of a tin box with a handle and a door in front. On the inside are several shelves, on which the food in tin or earthenware vessels is placed. Beneath the whole outfit is an alcohol or gasoline burner, which will keep the food warm at least an hour without refilling the lamp. The cost of warming for a meal is estimated to be about two or three cents. From $3.00 to $4.00 worth or food may be carried & kept warm in this way with little or no inconvenience. While Lexington isn't by any means the largest city in the state of Ky., and hasn't the largest colored population, yet when it comes to business thrift and prosperity her colored residents are hard to excel. The colored citizens may be found in almost every kind of business here that other people engage in. For instance, the livery and undertaking are looked after by Messers. Porter and Chenault and Ellis, Garner and Sidney Gibson and Brother; drugs by W. H. Ballard and W. H. Mayo; furniture by S. W. Dunn, Jas. Parker, Banks and Woodard; tailoring, Sidney and Son, John Burton, Saunders and Carpenter and George Washington; contracting, Tandy and Byrd R. H.

WASHINGTON. Dined Sunday Night With a King and Two Queens at Copenhagen. Copenhagen, October 3.—King Frederick to-day received Booker T. Washington, and conversed at length with him on the subject of the colored race. His Majesty asked the American for a copy of one of his publications. Later, as the guest of prominent Danes, Mr. Washington motored to Roskilde, the old capital, where he visited a school and had lunch. To-night he dined at the palace, meeting the members of the royal family, including Queen Mother Alexandra, the widow of King Edward. NEGRO MOB. Captures Member of Own Race and Lynches Him for Attack on Colored Woman. Talladega, Ala., October 3.—The first lynching of a Negro by Negroes took place in Talladega County today. On September 29 an unidentified Negro attacked a woman of his race and fled. The Negroes traced him to a point nine miles from Lincoln, where he was captured and later identified by the woman who was attacked. His captors then proceeded to string him up and riddle the body with bullets and shot. Talladega County deputies, with a Coroner, went to the scene, and at the inquest the verdict was that "the deceased was unknown and came to his death at the hands of persons unknown to the jury." NEGROES OPPOSED Proposed Ordinance to Require Then to Reside in Certain Sections of the City. Baltimore, Md., October 4.—Colored men opposed to the measure confining colored people to certain residential districts had their chance before a city council committee yesterday to state why they were opposed to the unfair and reactionary measure. The speakers, all of whom made a good impression, included J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger, Rev. G. R. Waller, H. T. Waller, Dr. W. E. Harris, Dr. R. M. Hall, Dr. H. J. Brown and Rev. F. R. Williams. It seems probable that it will pass the First Branch of City Council and may possibly become a law, but it will be bitterly assailed in the courts.

Pinchback Is Said to Be Slated for a Position in Internal Revenue Service in New York. Increased Attendance Marks the Opening or Howard University—Opposition to Bruce Will Amount to Nothing—Miss Burroughs Speaks. Washington, D. C., October 5 History is being made with startling rapidity in this neck-o-the-woods. From a period of temporary despondency the republican situation is "looking up." Conditions in New orkY State point more hopefully to a victory for the forces of Roosevelt and Stimson to-day than they did a week ago, before the perpetration of the Dix-Tammany ticket upon the electorate of the Empire. President Taft's dignified attitude with reference to the nomination in 1912 has greatly strengthened him in the eyes of the thoughtful citizens of the country. His desire to place all in the scale for party harmony absolves him from any possible charge of self-seeking and his generous treatment of both wings of republicanism, has made him indeed and in truth the titular head of the party. With the President and Col. Roosevelt working earnestly and sincerely for a common cause against a common foe, the chances of success would be rated by any guarantee company as "gilt-edged." Differ as republicans may on minor matters, they have a remarkable faculty for lining up serenely and solidly on election day and beating the opposition to the traditional "trazzle." While stopping up the leaks in the republican organization as a whole, President Taft is not overlooking the welfare of the faithful colored voters. The announcement of the prospective appointment of Hon. James C. Napier, Tennessee's favorite son as far as our people are concerned, heartens the rank and file of the Negro element of the party, for it indicates that the administration is duly appreciative of honest and efficient services rendered it in an hour of need. Mr. Napier labored diligently and helpfully for the nomination of Judge Taft, in the face of a determined opposition among life-long friends, and during the campaign following, he was in the thickest of the fray, contending for every inch of ground for his party. With the retirement of Dr. Vernon, the natural choice for Register of the Treasury is Mr. Napier, who came within an ace of winning the prize on two previous occasions. Mr. Napier assumes the duties of Register February 1, 1911. A second encouragement to the race lies in the agreed-upon designation of Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, one of the "Old Guard's" most picturesque figures, as an attache of the Internal Revenue service, with headquarters in New York City. The place will carry large responsibility and emoluments of a size commensurate in the main, with Gov. Pinchback's valued services and personal dignity. The duties will be congenial and the "Governor" will be found to fit into the post like a hand in a glove. The recognition of this "grand old man" will be hailed with pleasure by right-thinking Negroes the country over, and its effect will be felt at the polls in the pivotal states next month. It is an open secret that at least two other places of honor and profit are being reserved for the colored voters, and the announcement of names and stations may be expected from Beverly at almost any moment, Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, who is in a position to know much of the inside sentiments of those responsible for the care of the Negro's interests in political affairs, spent Monday in the city, and after conference with officials close to the administration gave out the statement that, it was his opinion that President Taft was disposed to give liberal recognition to his loyal colored supporters, and that he felt very sure that the President's (Continued on page six.) --- ere ae CORRESPONDENCE MONTQOMERY.

St. Louis Mo., Oct. 4.—The colored citizens of St. Louis can now boast of a high school which is one of the finest in the country, having been erected at a cost of nearly $400,000. It is located in the West End, being on Cottage avenue, between Goode and Pendleton avenues. The building was not secured by the Negro citizens until after a red-hot fight, however. When announcement was first made that the site would be used for the erection of a colored high school there were many [Picture of a man in a suit]. Who retires from the Registership of the U. S. Treasury after four Years' service. protests from white residents, and for a time it appeared as if the building, when completed, would be used by the white pupils.

At the flag-raising two thousand persons were present. On the first day of school four hundred pupils were enrolled.

T. VERNON FOR WIL BERFORCE. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 2, 1910—Coupled with the dispatches of today, announcing the resignation of Prof. W. T. Vernon as Register of the Treasury, and the probable success of J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, comes the surprising intelligence that the friends of the Register are inaugurating a campaign to have him chosen president of Wilberforce University, in place of Prof. W. S. Scarborough, who, as everybody seems to think, is giving perfect satisfaction to the trustees and to the student body of that school. No word has come from Prof. Vernon on the subject and no one here appears to be in a position to speak for him as to his plans for the future.

GREELEY & McINTIRE PATENT ATTORNEYS WASHINGTON, D. C. to me it is the business of the Negro race to nail this wide-spread lie that they are content and that in such a way as they will-quietly or noisily, privately or in public, in speech or personal conversation,—lose no opportunity to let the people of the United States and the people of the world know that ten million human beings in this country are not willing today to be classed less than men. Is it not time, then, that after fifteen years of experiment we should step forward in three definite directions: First, that we should seek to get a systematic and definite know- CITY BANK and individuals and give special { L. M. LaFollette J. C. Morrison ledge of ourselves; Second, that we should seek to make a systematic and continued protest against injustice, and, Thirdly, that we should in every direction increase our organized endeavor. It does seem to me that this program is not one of frightful or forbidding radicalism, nor does it exclude anything for which an honest opportunity rightly strives. Today we have for this purpose in New York a National Association for the advancement of Colored People. And this association differentiates itself from other organizations in this one unusual respect, that is, it is organized in conjunction with those who are working in similar ways along other lines of social uplift. We comprise among us social workers and reformers interested in nearly every line of social uplift. Hitherto, the Negro in the United States has had little interest in the work of these people. Strange to say, he has rather sided with the great capitalists and philanthropists and is even found speaking against social reform, against races like the Jews and against all people who are fighting for a cause. The time for this foolishness has passed. These are the people who are revolutionizing the world. We must recognize that the cause of the Negro is one with every cause of world uplift and one which employs the same methods and uses the same arguments, and we must, therefore, join hands with all people throughout the world who are fighting for the world's good. Dr. DuBois is probably the foremost authority on matters affecting the race. He is 42 years of age, and was educated at Fisk University, Howard University and in Berlin. He is the author of "The Philadelphia Negro", "Life of John Brown," "The Souls of Black Folks", and numerous pamphlets on the race question. He is a member of leading learned bodies. He resigned a few montis ago as professor of history and economics at Atlanta University, where he labored with signal success for over a decade. He will be editor in-chief of a Magazine, "The Crisis", the first issue of which will appear next month. Vernon Ousted CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. friendship would be emphasized very shortly in a fashion so substantial that his sincerity could not be doubted. Mr. Scott, who, it will be remembered, was one of the three United States Commissioners to investigate social, political and industrial conditions in the Republic of Lberia, passed through the city Monday, en route to Worcester, to attend the Clark University Conference on "The Near East of Africa," which opened October 4. By invitation, Mr. Scott is to address the conference Friday morning at 11:30 on "The United States and Liberia." On Saturday at 1 o'clock, Mr. Scott is announced for an address before the Twentleth Century Club, one of Boston's most famous institutions. The honor of appearing before this body is regarded as one of rare distinction.* The resignation of Dr. W. T. Vernon as Register of the Treasury was made public last Friday, coupled with the statement that he would be succeeded by Mr. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee. Rumors of Mr. Vernon's probable retirement have been in circulation for several months, but he matter failed to take form and color, as no one in possession of the facts would make any authoritative announcement concerning it, hence the news was not as surprising as it might otherwise have been. By arrangement with Secretary McVeagh, the change will be effective on the first day of February,—nearly four months from now. As a federal official, Dr. Vernon has given eminent satisfaction, and is considered to be an orator of force and ability on the stump in support of the party's platforms. His resignation grows out of political exigencies that have recently arisen with respect to Kansas and the administration, which reflect in no wise upon the character or integrity of Dr. Vernon. He has carried himself admirably here, and the depart- TO MANY POINTS IN California, Colorado, Alberta, Arizona, Idaho, British Columbia, Mexico, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.

THE ADVOCATE.ure of himself and his charming wife will be a distinct loss to the social, intellectual and religious life of the community. Dr. Vernon says he has no plans for the immediate future, save that upon his retirement in February he will take a long rest, in an endeavor to restore his health, which had been practically shattered in recent months through nervous troubles occasioned by overdrafts upon his vitality by activities in many directions. His resumption of the duties of President of the Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, will not be considered by him during the present school year, although there is pressure being brought to bear upon him to take up the work later on, and arrangements may be made ultimately to have him again become the active head of this thriving school. In the meantime, Prof. Sheldon French will continue in charge. It is understood that other institutions connected with the A. M. E. Church have made attractive overtures for Dr. Vernon's services. Desirable pulpits have also been placed at his disposal and it is hinted that his name will go before the next general conference of his church as an aspirant for a seat on the Bench of Bishops. He is yet a young man and has a great work laid out for him. In whatever field he may find it well to cast his lot, Dr. Vernon will have the best wishes of a host of admiring fellow-citizens of both races. The selection of Mr. Napier as his successor is in accord with the logic of the situation, and will give eminent satisfaction to all elements of the party, regardless of section. Although, Mr. Napier hails from Tennessee, he is regarded as being, for political purposes, from the country at large. Geo, W. Ellis, F. R. G. S., for eight years Secretary of the American Legation at Monrovia, was in the city Sunday, the guest of Register and Mrs. Vernon. He went to Clark University this week to the Conference on "The Near East and Africa," and is to speak Friday morning on "Dynamic Factors in the Liberian Situation." Since his retirement from the diplomatic service, Mr. Ellis has been sojourning in Chicago. He is one of the best authorities in the country on Liberian problems. Hon. John C. Dancy is to be one of the party that will accompany Dr. Booker T. Washington on the forthcoming tour of North Carolina. The trip begins October 28 and ends November 3. Bishop G. W. Clinton, Messrs. John Merrick and C. C. Spaulding and others of the Negro State Business League of North Carolina are determined that this North Carolina Educational pilgrimage shall not fall short in any respect of the other tours of the "Wizard" that have preceded it. The True Reformers of the District will celebrate the birthday of Founder W. W. Browne on the 20th. Chief W. W. Griffith will be in charge of the local exercises. Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson has been unanimously re-elected deputy of the Order of St. Luke, and Rev. A. C. Garner has been re-elected associate deputy. The new building at the corner of 13th and U streets is lighted up every evening and among the thirty-seven councils there is an enthusiasm that speaks volumes for the future development of the order. The bank is being prepared for. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Girls, admirably located at Lincoln Heights, D. C., delivered an earnest and practical address last Sunday at the Mt. Horch Baptist Church, in support of the organization of the Widows' Aid Society. Miss Burroughs is doing a splendid work for the girls of the race who are finding the value of a training for the domestic service for which there is such an insistent demand everywhere. The enrollment for the fall and winter term is exceptionally large. The United States Supreme Court is getting ready to open its sessions. It is eminently fitting that Justice John M. Harlan is to preside over the deliberations of this august tribunal, until a successor to the late Chief Justice Fuller shall have been selected. The formal opening of Howard University's forty-third year took place last Tuesday morning. Dr. Elmer E. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education, delivered an instructive address reviewing the progress and ideals of Howard University. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, the president, gave an inspiring talk and urged the cultivation of the true college spirit that made for perfection in all plans projected. Last Saturday the Howard Law School opened, and Dean B. F. Leighton spoke of law as the basis of human civilization.

In the freshman class alone this year there are nearly twice as many students as the entire school had four years ago, or just before President Thirkield assumed charge. The faculty has been enlarged and otherwise strengthened and the completion of the new $90,000 Science Hall will add materially to the school's facilities for instruction in the various scientific branches. The examinations for officers of the High School Cadets are being held this week. It is expected that there will be six companies of cadets, and a strenuous effort is being made to have every able bodied boy in both M Street and Armstrong schools in line. The Speedway may be used as drill-ground and for athletic contests. Miss Lucy E. Moten, principal of the Normal School, has resumed her duties. She spent the summer in touring Europe, visiting England, France, Germany, Italy, the Holy Land and Egypt. The stir that is being raised against Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce over the exchange of one teacher for another in the ordinary routine of school discipline will amount to nothing. Mr Bruce is showing himself capable of directing our public schools and the people who have the welfare of the community at heart are giving him their undivided support. He is giving Washington an excellent administration and his refusal to be swerved from his righteous course by bullying attorneys and professional blackmailers is bringing to him the sympathy of many who might not otherwise pay any attention to the matter.
