THOUSAND DELEGATE AT BUSINESS PRESIDENT BOOKER WASHING NEGRO NEWSPAPERS FOR WORK IN RACIATION Colonel Roosevelt Receives A Over One Thousand Delegates By Successful Colored Bus Every Section of The (Staff Correspondence.) their means New York, Aug, 18—In the presence of over one thousand delegates of the National Negro Business League, which started its sessions in the Palm Garden, Wednesday, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the League, in his annual address paid a glowing tribute to the worth of the Negro newspaper as a potent factor in racial uplife. “Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject,” said Dr. Washington, “I wish to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business League is under to the Negro press of the country for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this meeting. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization — and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained its present degree of success. Mo.e and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. There are very few agencies which have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of poverty, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publisher.” Negroes Worth Millions Continuing, Dr. Washington told of the wonderful success being made by Negroes in this country. "The Negroes of Georgia" he said, "have added 47 045 acres to their land holdings this year, and increased the value of their land holdings $830,533. They have bought over $680,000 worth of city and town property. Through DR. BOOKER T. W. their real estate purchases and other means they added in twelve months $1,420,000 to their taxable property. $1,420,000 to their taxable property. "The Negroes of Virginia also during the year 1909 added $1,425 acre to their land holdings and increased their land values $175,740. They also bought $600,000 of city and town property. They are now paying taxes on 1,517,500 acres or land and $25,600,280 worth of property. Judging from the recorded progress that is being made in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, where rooms are kept of negro property owning, it is conserved and estimated that the Negroes of the United States are adding from twelve to fifteen millions of dollars to their wealth each year, and that their t total wealth is not now far from $600,000,000. "To Him That Hath." "To him that hath shall be given" thuddered the Wizard of Tuskegee, amid the voiferous applause of the packed multitude. "So him that hath influence shall be given more influence. To him that hath power will be given more power. To him that hath credit in the financial world will be given more credit. To him that hath money will be given more money. To him that hath houses, stores and banks will be given more houses, stores and banks. To the race that hath many business enterprises will be given many business enterprises. Let us go out and start everywhere the idea of getting, not with the idea of selfishly keeping, but that in proportion as we secure the substantials of life, we shall be in a position to add to the larger life of our race. Asks For More Protection. "I have referred frankly to the duty of the colored people in fitting themselves for industrial and commercial usefulness. I want to be equally frank in referring to the responsibility resting upon those whose whose duty it is to enforce the law—to protect life and property, for there can be little progress unless life and property are safe in every part of the Nation. "I call attention to the murdering of colored people at this time because the habit has so grown upon the nation that a murder or lynching of this kind attracts little attention. I speak with sorrow and with a Continued on page 5. ROOSEVELT RECEIVES TREMENDOUS OVATION Business League Members Give The Colonel Rousing Welcome at the Palm Garden. (Staff Correspondence.) New York, Aug 19.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt received a rousing greeting at the Palm Garden this morning, when he addressed nearly a thousand bankers,'business and professional men, newspaper editors, writers and visitors who are here attending the eleventh annual session of the National Negro Business League. A mighty cheer went up as the former President and African hunter entered the ball, and the cheers were renewed when Dr. Washington introduced him as a friend of the race. Col. Roosevelt spoke in a characteristic manner and complimented the deligates upon their successful showing. This is the first time he has addressed a colored audience since his return from his African hunting expedition. The League closed its sessions with a banquet tonight at which cheer and good feeling reigned supreme The next meeting of the league will be held at Little Rock, Ark. PRESS ASSOCIATION IN CONVENTION Editors And Writers From All Over The Country Discuss Newspaper Problems. (Staff Correspondence.) New York, Aug 17.—About forty owners of newspapers, editors, magazine writers and correspondents were present here today at the sessions of the National Negro Press Association which were held at the Metropolitan Building, Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue. The "press gang" was welcomed by J.N. Anderson, of the New Amsterdam News. Addresses dealing with various phases of newspaper work were delivered by N. D. Brascher. of the Cleveland Journal, Horace D. Slatter, N. B. Dodson, of the American Press Association; Lester A. Walton, dramatic editor of the New York Age; E. H. Lawson, Washington, and Charles Stewart, the veteran news paper correspondent. Mr. Stewart delivered a helpful talk on "Colored Newspaper Correspondents" in which he detailed some of his own experiences. The concensus of opinion among the several speakers was that one of the chief difficulties in Negro newspaper work was that they are not admitted into any of the press associations. Notwithstanding the fact that there are almost 800 Newspapers, it was stated that with the exception of a special page of news about Negroes issued by one association, no news could be bought from any of the established agencies, thereby hindering them in their competition with the ordina y publication. Officers were elected as follows: M. M. Ley, Pensacola. Fla. president; N. D. Brascher, Cleveland O., and T. F. Smalls, N. York, vice presidents; R. W. Thompson, Washington, correspondng see eary; Horace D. Slatter, Kentuck, recording secretary, and Rev. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, treasurer. WILL DO MORE GOOD THAN ALL THE RESOLUTIONS MISS NANNIE A. FOULKS GIVES ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO START A TRAINING SCHOOL A Concrete Example Of Self-Abnegation On The Part Of An Afro-American Woman—The North Carolina State Baptist Convention And Young People's Union Hold Rousing Meetings — The Attendance, Lectures And Practical Work Were Of Great Interest. Raleigh, N. C.-The thirty-eight annual session of the State Baptist Sunday School convention and the Baptist Young People's Union convention of North Carolina, held in this city in the First Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. T. Coleman, pastor, Aug. 8-12, were auspicious because of having au attendance, lectures and practical work that are unpredececented by any previous convention held by these bodies. The central figure of the Sunday School convention is Dr. N. F. Roberts, vice president of Shaw University, and president of the convention. Among the constructive element of both bodies are Drs. A. W. Pegues, S. N. Vass, C. S. Brown, J. A. Whitted and Col. James H. Young. The welcome address on behalf of the city by Mayor Wynne; addresses and lectures by prominent white Sunday School workers and the annual address of Dr. N. F. Roberts were among the pertinent features of the convention. A concrete example of self-abnegation for higher usefulness is found in the life of Miss Nannie A. Fouls, a domestic of attorney W. W. Fulier, chief counselor for the American Tobacco Company. Being in the household for years, she has through husbanding her funds accumulated $1,000 the net amount realized during her life time, which she has donated every dollar of that amount for a reformatory and training school for incorrigible Afro-American youths. This movement has taken on tangible form and is now an absolute certainty for the colored people in North Carolina. Attorney G. H. Mitchell, of Greenboro, addressed the convention in interest of the project and the convention adopted strong resolutions in favor of this institution to be known as the "Fouls' Reformatory and Manual Training School." About 300 delegates from every section of the state attended the convention and represented the brain, ennobling characters and progressive people of their communities. For practical work and enthusiasm the convention was nearly analogous to chauvinism. Memorial services in honor of Dr. H. M. Tupper, the founder of Shaw University, were held last Friday in the auditorium of the university. The occasion elicited conise and eloquent eulogies by prominent men and women attending the convention. The convention next year convenes in Weldon. The plans for the years' leaders of the convention will make the next meeting an interesting one. (special to The Afro-American Ledger.)

NEGRO BANKERS ANNUAL SESSION Colored Bankers Have Plenty Trouble In Conducting Their Institutions (Special to the Afro-American.) Mew York, Aug. 17—At the meeting of the American Bankers Association, affiliated with the National Negro Business League, which was held here today in the Metropolitan Building, Rev. Dr. W. R. Petthford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, told of the difficulties experienced in getting Negroes to save money and invest it wisely. "The trouble is," he said, "that so many colored people buy on installment plan that they cannot meet their obligations. They pay half the price and they get behind love paying. There is plenty of capital in this city, but it is not concentrated, so that our race in its hour of need can turn nowhere for aid." S. S. Brown, cashier of the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company of Memphis, told how to overcome the distrust of banks by Negroes. He said it was necessary to hold bank meeting in the churches where the advantages of saving could be explained. (special to The Atric-American League) Owings Mills, Md., Aug. 17—Mrs. Annie D. Williams, 1 Princeton, N. J., passed thru the city this week, enroute to Geer Spring, Valley where she will visit her sister, Mrs. Grace Oliver.

PARIS WITH ALL ITS OTHER FAULTS RECOGNIZES A MAN FOR WHAT HE IS WORTH. The Same Thing Is True All Over Continental Europe—A Nothing Is Nothing There, And A Man Is A Man.—If You Can Measure Up You Are All Right—Would Like To See More Of Our Representative Men In Europe—Goes Sight-Seeing In The City Of Paris. COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT. In my last letter to you, I had reached Paris. It was early in the morning. I think it was about 5 o'clock when I got into the town, and went to the hotel. Of course you want to know in what hotel I stopped, and I will have to tell you that I stopped at Hotel Filleux, or Au Bon Marche. I do not understand this, and it is out of the question for me to try. But it was a fine hotel at any rate. The clerk was able to speak a little English, so I was understood, and I understood her. No one else in the house could understand me; I went out then to do Paris. It may be another time I will be able to write about all the things I saw in Paris, and how I got around alone. I did not get a guide, but just went it. I went to the United States Express Office, also to the American Express and got some money, and took a ride in "Seeing Paris" touring car and visited many places." I failed to tell you the name of the place where I went to the concert in Ostend, and as I have it now will turn back and tell you it was at Kuraal d'Ostebde. I suppose I can give you what was on the programme and you can read it for yourself. Lundi 20 Juin a 8½ du soir Concert Symphonique. Sous la direction de M. L. Biaskoff ave le concours de Mme. Jeanne Guionce de l'Opera—Comique. Programme. Now I will not give the whole program. But will return to Paris. It will pay you to visit this hustling place. The sight is here, and the sights are to be seen. People sit out on the streets and eat and drink just like they were in the house, and you will find fine looking French women on the streets at night making love. They will sit at table alone and invite a gentleman to join them in drink, or eat, whether acquainted with them or not, and they do not care whether or not you can speak their language, so you have the money to pay for drink and eat. Paris with all its wickedness, recognizes a man for what he is worth. Paris is not a standard of manhood. A nothing is a nothing there, and a man is a man. If you can measure up, you can measure up. I admire this about Paris in fact all over Continental Europe. There is no need of the American coming to this part of the world with their American prejudice. I want to see more of our representative men come to Europe, but do not want them to come in bunches, all getting on one ship but scatter up, and I want as many as many them as possible to travel first class. It is cheaper to travel second class, but then it is not the best thing for us as a people. Well I returned to England, took another trip to Leeds. I was again met by the Rev S. B. Prestley Smith, living in Leeds and is of the firm Smith & Kirby, Boot and Shoe Factory. He is living, preaching and lecturing in the birthplace of his great grandfather, Dr. Joseph Prestley, who was one of the great men of his age, and whose monument stands in the city square because of his worth to humanity. He was the oil coverer of oxygen, and at the time of his death occupied a chair in chemistry in Philadelphia.

There was a condition of sharing Christ's glory with Him of which His petitioners little dreamed (v. 22:26-89; of. MK. 14:36; Lu. 22: 42: Jno, 18:11; Lu, 12:50; 2 ‘Tim. 2:12; Rom. 8:17). James and John, full of self-confidence, unhesitatingly declared themselves able to drink the eup Christ drank and to be baptized with the baptism with which He was yaptized, Many to-day with equal readiness and’ equal thoughtlessness declare themselves ready to follow wherever Christ leads the way. :Jesus took them at thelr word. We best be careful about our professions, for Jesus'may'take us at our. word. Tt lies with the Father to decide who shall have the place of honor in His kingdom, The ten who, had made no stich request as the two were never- theless just as selfish es they (v. 24+ cf. Mk, 9:83-36: Lu. 22:34). “The method of Christ's. kingdom was ut: terly. at varjance with the methods of the kingdoms of this earth (vs. 25- 21), ‘The Head’ot the kingdom isthe supreme ‘illustration of the principles that governs it: He came not, to be ministered unto but to minister, His ministrs cost Him all He had. “He Jaid down Bis life as a ransom to-pur- chucé life-for the wicked world. that had forfeited it (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 2:13; Tit, 2:24; Isa. 53:53, 2 Cor. 8:9). He gave-up the highest glory and descended to the deepest:shame and thus attained to, 2 name that is above every name (Phil. 2:6-9). The only greatness in God's kingdom Is the greatness'of service. I; Blind by the Wayside Begging, 29.31. The three ‘accounts ‘ot this miracle (cf, Mk. 10:46-52; Lu. 18: 36-43) differ in details, “This ap- pears like contradict'~n, but it-{s not necessarily so. A very possible ex- planation is that Jesus healed’ one blind man as He entered Jericho and this one told two others, one of whom was Bartlmeus (whom Mark for some Teason regarded as worthy of special mention), and they waited for Jesu as He should depart from the city. ‘These two beggars are a striking il- lustration of man as he is by nature: His home, Jericho (the elty under 8 curse; Josh. 6:17, 26, type of this world); blind (2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 3: 17):.a beggar clothed in rags “(Isa. 04:6). - They were-sitting by the dusty ‘wayside—not a pleasant place to be, but better far for them than some shady palm grove of Jericho— for'Jesus was to pass that way, and the best place for needy,.sinful men 4g where Jesus is Gin. 10:39-42). Many a Bartimeus tewlay needs sim- ply to be told that Jesus is right at hand. As soon as they heard they be- ‘gan to ery out. That was not-much to do, but it was enough (Rom. 10: 13). ‘The time to call Is the time that they chose (Isa, 65:6). They ad- dressed Jesus as “Thow Son of Da- vid," {, e., as the Messiah (Jer, 23:31 ch.’ 1:1-12, 28; 22:41, 42). They eried simply for mercy. The people were displeased to hear them cry for mercy and rebuked them. ‘There are many people still, even religious peo- ple, who are irritated when they hear poor, gintul, afficted people making a disturbance’ by crying aloud to Jesus for mercy. They thought it-beneath the dignity of Jesus: to be disturbed by the clamor of this poor blind wretch. Though they were poor, they were rich in faith, and the rebuke, so far from closing ‘their mouths, only made them cry out the more.

Bur. 849 FAC Gris oat eR AeeS Sah Saami len ON ry We acknowledge our indebtedness to the Evening News for the use of the cut of "Joe Gans" which was used in these columns last week. Mr. Pearre has withdrawn from the congressional race, which mayrove a great stroke for harmony in its district. We are pleased to note the diligence of Governor Glasscock of West Virginia. Sheriff Wiseman has also shown himself to be made of the right stuff, and the Governor has shown himself a man of fair play and does not intend to have the fair name of his state and administration besmirched by a lynching. FANNING THE FLAMES. The political situation in New York State was further complicated this week by the refusal of the State Republican Committee to recommend Colonel Roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the State convention. The old guard or the atindpatters stood against Roose- lard. The behalf of Vice President Sher- post, and by a vote of 20 to 15 re- dresses, aled Sherman for the tem-dresses chairmanship of the Saratoga Convention to be held in September. The political leaders generally had been looking to Roosevelt as the unborn the waters, to bring about armony between the standpatters and the progressives of the party and the action of the State Committee, is much to be regretted. its action will more likely throw Glonel Roosevelt full over into the ranks of the progressives and the Inurgent movement in New York will once become a factor with which the standpatters must reckon, and the fight will be carried into every corner of the State for the election Roosevelt delegates. Should a sufficient number be elected, the convention may overrule the action of the committee and elect Roosevelt temporary chairman any way. But that is not the worse feature of the New York situation. The herer and worse side of the matter in the Republican party will be so easily split in New York, that the state will be lost to the Republican party will be out up to throttle the Administration or the next two years. Now the fact is patent—that whatever Mr. Taft may have or have done, he has divided the Republican party and lost the support of the Negro vote. BETTER GET AT IT. Word is sent out from Washington that Administration intends morale be Negro vote in close races and vote Congressional disacts. The Administration which now be or the people a king for a vice of cush once has begun to feel the Negro will be needed this fall' when this vote of confidence is to be given. Strange thing to us the powers that be did not realize that before. Mr. Taft and his advisers ought to have known that there was another election coming, when they were removing the Negroes from office all across the country and practically hanging out the sign "No Negroes need apply." When Mr. Taft went into office there were many effective Negro organizations throughout the country, and they did valiant service in the campaign in which he was elected President, but Mr. Taft by ousting from office nearly every Negro who held an important position in the South, has discouraged the Negro and dissipated his organizations. Today the Negro in the Republican party viewing the activities of the Taft administration, is like a man hit on the head with a club, does not know exactly where he is, and therefore does not know exactly what to do. Mr. Taft seems to have forgotten that that splendid organization, of Negroes which Mark Hanna effected in the South, by means of which the nomination of McKinley, Roosevelt and himself were assured is badly shattered today by the removal from position of the prominent Negroes of the South, in an effort to build up a "illy white" Republican party in that section. The splendid organizations among Negroes might have been held intact and 'kept effective had Mr. Taft given the Negroes a fair deal. Another thing Mr. Taft must look to in this coming Congressional campaign, is the attitude of the powerful Negro newspapers which so earnestly supported him and the party two years ago. They will need to be organized too, for there has come a wonderful change in the field of Negro journalism toward Mr. Taft. With nearly every prominent Negro removed from office, with nearly all the colored Republican clubs disgruntled or disorganized and many of the colored newspapers either lukewarm or absolutely sour toward the Administration, it is indeed high time that the Administration began the work of organizing, which, if we do not miss our guess will be a more difficult piece of business than they may at first expect it to be. WHAT IS THE BUSINESS OF THE CHURCH. In the times in which we live it is not at all an unusual thing to read in the published notices of many of the churches, of rallies, sacred concerts, stump speeches, and various other matters of a sensational character, and not strictly pertinent to Christ and Him crucified. In the midst of all this, hungry and thirsty souls are crying: "We would see Jesus." And so we ask the question at the head of this column: "What is the business of the church?" Has the church a specific mission? What is that mission? Even some ministers read and study most anything except the New Testament, and, the more they confound it, and the more they undertake to unfold it, the more they fold it up. In the first place, the church is the body of Christ, and the mission of the Body of Christ is to extend its self among sinful men, and build men up in Christ—the Lord, that they may be rooted and grounded in love. The material church building is for purposes intimately connected with religious culture. It is not a lecture hall or a financial counter for the ingathering of dollars and cents, but a house of prayer. Prayer and praise must be the things emphasised in the church. The Lord never instituted His Church that men might place it on the bargain counter, and use it for worldly purposes and gain. The business of the church is to make men good, pure, holy and upright, and thereby build up human characters whose influence will be felt in the world of sin. The business of the church is to teach men to act and live by a fixed principle of right-conscious, and not by emotion and impulse. The business of the church is to help men get self-control and regulate their lives by the fundamental principles enunciated by the Master. Of course it is necessary, vitally so, that the preacher be an educated and well instructed man. But what is of vastly more importance is that the preacher should be a man of high character, and if he has not this qualification, then he is absolutely worthless. Christianity is a lite. A man's preaching from the punit is as "a sounding brass or a tinking cymbal," if what he preaches is not illustrated in his personal life. The religion which he recommends to others, must have first regenerated the life and character of the man who would dispense it to others. The Saviour, when he was quite young, upon a certain occasion, remarked: "Wast not that I must be about Me." Father's business? Is it not high time that many of our ministers were asking themselves the same question. To save men is to give them a new life. To save men means that the fruits of the Spirit are realized in their every day life, as they touch one another in the ordinary concerns of society. The business of the church is moral and spiritual; not financial and political. The business of the preacher is to be conspicuous is being genuinely good in character, and by his sermons, the conduct of his services, and in all his relationships, to labor to help men to be good and true. We are not unmindful of the fact that the preacher is in the body, and has bodily needs. But his business, nevertheless, is not to stress money, but righteousness, of in other words, r-i-g-h-t d-o-i-n-g. It is hardly possible, if a man gives himself up to the best and highest, moral and spiritual interest, of his people, preaching helpful sermons, with his life, as well as with his lips, that he will be driven to the almouse, or die from starvation or neglect. In such a case, he would be comforted with the words of the Holy Writ, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The race has a right to insist that the church attend strictly to the business the Lord has laid upon it. The preacher cannot believe the message which he preaches to others, if he has not the faith to do the Lord's work, in the Lord's own way, and, then, trust the good Lord, for his own support and success, as he exhorts others to do. The increasing fidelity of the church to the business of the Lord, means an increased moral and spiritual force for the welfare of the whole race. Persons should not turn away from the church because the preacher is not what he ought to be, because he is ignorant or immoral, or both, but they should bravely do their duty as Christian men and women and set to build up such a healthy and robust atmosphere of advance life in that congregation as will render it impossible for such a chap who has missed his calling to exist in their midst. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. THE REALITY OF INSURGENCY AS IT OBTAINS IN THE WEST TODAY. EDITOR OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER: From all over the nation information is being circulated in an effort to belittle the insurgent movement. The strongly organized old guard of the Republican party insists that the insurgent movement, which is in reality the progressive movement, is the creation of dreamers who have little or no power in shaping or to shape policies which effect the destiny of the republic. Great daily newspapers, seeking to hold their influence with the administration, tell the President that the progressive movement is a myth. Any unfavorable opinion which may be uttered by the people is neither communicated privately or publicly to the President or his immediate advisers. For the most part venality in those who should advise the President honestly forces deception. The result is that the President does not know the true state of public opinion in the West. The administration papers seek to belittle the insertion of the initiative and referendum doctrine into the Republican platform of Nebraska. They point out that in an unguarded moment Republicans embraced this heresy. But the facts are otherwise. The people of the West realize that there is somewhere an abuse of power; that the great corporations, favored for many years as a means of economic development, have grown so powerful as to place government in the hands of the few, while denying to the people a chance for self-defense. This development has forced the doctrine of direct legislation to the front and has resulted in the general movement for a larger liberty for the people. There is nothing mysterious about it. Men who have studied it for many years have concluded that one way to correct the abuses is to alter the tarif law wherein it makes for the centralization of power in the hude of the wealthy few. Those who have taken this view to the people are called progressives and insurgents. This new movement is chiefly a moral movement. And it is very natural that in such a movement the State of Kansas should lead all other States. For the most part the men who are leading this fight are descendants of those early heroes, who led in that other and nobler fight for the triumph of an idea. In order to attain the end which they seek it becomes neces- sary to deal with the economic issues which oppress and crush the man of toil, but they are fighting for justice. Nor is it strange that that Iowa, always loyal in that other day when wealth and power were pitted against an idea, should stand with Kansas in the new movement for the liberation, not only of the black man of toil, but all the sons of labor in this land. The new movement makes some mistakes; its leaders sometimes fail, as the leaders failed in that other moral movement for the uplift of men. They lack organization, and, while superior in numbers, many times, lail of their purpose. They nevertheless represent the true spirit of the Republican party as its founders hoped it would be. When the Republican party came into power it met the opposition of King Cotton, which dictated all terms in the policy of the national government. The Democratic party was then the party of the aristocracy, and it ruled the nation thru the wealth of the taw. All the interests have drifted into the Republican party and have carried it away from its moorings. Now the progressives of the West are struggling to redeem it, and make it live on, the champion of all the people of this land. William Allen White, of Kausas, and William R. Nelson, of Missouri, editors respectively of the Emporia Gazette and Kansas City Star, and the Des Moines Registes, lead the fight for progressive ideas. Cummins is the political spokesman of this new movement. Mistake not, Senator Cummins knows whereof he speaks on these great issues, and the great West is at his back. No cause since slavery has so agitated the minds of men of the West, and for the reason that this is a moral issue in another form. Many of the men in the West who are admirers of President Taft are forced to identify him with an unpopular and an unjust cause. Nearly all of them believe in him personally, but they feel that he has clung to Ballinger and the Ballinger idea to the detriment of his administration and his own standing as the President of the republic. On the whole they admit his record is one of the best ever made by any President in point of constructive achievement, but his connection with men represent the idea of organized wealth and government by the few brings home to them a pang of regret and doubt. Were he free from some of the men who now so badly and dangerously advise him, he could regain the confidence and respect of the people to which, on the whole record, he is entitled. There can be little doubt about the outcome of the struggle between these contending forces in American life; no more doubt than there was about the outcome of the fight of the Republican party of the sixties for its idea of that day. Nor is there any reason, even among the most radical men of the West, for the belief that the progressives will abandon the Republican party. Full of the strength which the consciousness of right inspires in man, they are going to cleanse the Republican party of the powers which degrade it and bring the nation back to the place from whence it started, when this was a government, not of the few men, but of law, which proceeded from the whole strength of all the people. Thus the West, so long flouted by the East will go forward and redeem a country thru the war of reason, without spilling one drop of fraternal blood; that the whole people may once again stand forth in the light of its loftiest achievement. TO THE EDITOR OF AFRO-AMERICAN LENDER: It is indeed a great thing to perform an act by which thousands appersions are benefitted, and all manner of literature tell us "the world at large has been unquestionably benefited by the deeds of great men." Some of them have left an everlasting impression upon their nation's history. Yet, it does not seem to matter how, wonderful a man's achievement; how widespread the flattery showered upon him following success, or how satisfactory the applause of an enthusiastic world, the glamor wears off after a while, the reality seems to loose some of its attractiveness and the triumph some of its brilliancy. So it has been with the champions of the past and must some day be the same with the champions of the present and the future. Why then should there be so much malicious criticism, such berating condemnation of the present champion, the much talked and read of Jack Johnson? Officers and citizens of cities and towns have vied with each other in their efforts to prevent the presentation of the moving pictures for fear of arousing racial bitterness, but who has taken up the fight against the innumerable pictures, being shown continually, portraying every conceivable manner of plot and plan of the most heinous crimes? Who fears the results when all sizes and ages of youth are taught to steal and pickpockets, while burglary arson and murder share conspicuous places in the scenes? One writer, through a daily paper, declared "the 4th of July, the day of the birth of American Independence, had been desecrated." Is the 4th, of July, more sacred than the Sabbath? He deplores the fact that a prize fight occurred on that day, yet, judging by his writing, that same individual would carry a malicious heart to church on the Sabbath, and refuse the Holy Communion if administered to him, by or with his black brother. Another writer said "Johnson proved his superiority in endurance and brute force only. How absurd! Johnson proved his superiority through points it would have been well for Jeffries to have remembered in the beginning, especially the difference in their ages. alarmed at the elevation or evolution of the black man, since no honest person of sound judgment can justly doubt his ability to rise, and eminence is not governed by complexion. The Negro cannot rise because he is black, neither can the white man stay on top because he is white, but by intelligence, industry, integrity and moral worth must every man rise. Let the white man rise as high as he can provided it is not done by wroog doing to others, and the world will admire him. Let the Negro rise as high as he can without injustice to another, and nations will recognize him. Johnson won the championship because of his practical judgment, his undeniable energy, his cool-headed conviction which he had the courage to follow. EUGENIE M. NEAL. Philadelphia, Pa. ANNUAL SESSION OF FISHERMEN OF GALILEE. Grand United Order of Fishermen of Galilee of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, held its sixth annual session in New Good Hope Hall, Baltimore, August 5th and 9th, 1910, with E. E. Holland, Grand Master, presiding. The ses- WILLIAM H. GARRETT sion was called to order at 9 o'clock A. M., and went through their routine of business. This order has made rapid progress in six years. It has twenty-three adults and seven juveniles tabernacles, three degree temples and three Select Councils. This Order embraces New York, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. After two days, work of business for the benefit of the Order. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: Grand Master, E. E. Holland, New York; William H. Garrett, grand deputy master, Baltimore; Lucy Winfield, grand associate, Baltimore; Edward Mumford, grand orator, New York; H. H. Dennis, grand prelate, New York; A. B. Henderson, grand financial secretary, New York; A. B. Daes, grand recording secretary, New York; Thomas W.

Young, grand outside sentinel, Baltimore; Grace Morris, grand R. H. S. P.; Baltimore; Mary Jones, grand R. H. S. P.; New York; Pen Van de Murray, grmd R. H. S. P. associate, New York; Estella Tappen, grand L. H. S. P. associate, New York. The next session will be held in Brooklyn, New York, in 1911 BROOKLYN W.M.A.C: VICTORIOUS Brooklyn, Maryland, August 16th—On last Saturday the Working Men's A. C. of Brooklyn, defeated Trinity S. S. team in an exciting and well contested game of baseball; the score 10 to 6. Bennett who pitched for Trinity, was touched up for 3 triples, 4 two baggers and 6 singles. Benton Williams who twirled for Working Men held the visitors, well in hand, allow 6 only four hits and striking out 14 hits. The political pot has commenced to boil and Congressional aspirants are meeting their friends and telling them they should favor them in the primaries, August 30th. The Third Congressional district has four Democratic candidates and two Republican ones. Charles W. Main, a member of the last House of Delegates, is being backed by the friends of Collector Stone. Up in the Fourth there are three Democrats and three Republicans in the race. Addison E. Mullikin is backed by the Republican organization, while Carl A. M. Sholtz and Alfred J. Schultz are in the fight against him. It is in this district that the irrepressible "Stovey" Brown is contesting against State Senator Linthicum and J. Harry Preston for the Democratic nomination. Down "Marse" Sydney Mudd's way, the jokesmith of the Republican party, J. Frank Parron is the choice of the G. O. P. forces, while up in the Sixth district Congressman Pearre is lying awake of nights thinking whether or not one of his two opponents, Gist Blair and B. H. Warner, will succeed him as a Republican member of Congress. Pred Talbott, the cosy boss of Baltimore county, will have no opposition in the primaries, and Wm. B. Baker, of Harford, who once defeated him, will be the Republican standard bearer. Down on the Eastern Shore, A Lincoln Dryden, collector of customs, at Crisfield, will contest with Congressman J. Harry Covington in the general election in November. With a multiplicity of candidates, anti-Bryanites, Bryan shouters, pro-Taft voters, Roosevelt enthusiasts and anti-administration colored voters can take their choice of folks willing to serve the public. One of the most progressive young men in the fight for recognition this fall is Charles J. F. Steiner, who has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Third district. Although this is the first time this young man has been before the people for office, he has started a hot campaign among the voters all thru his district, and has received many assurances of support. During the week just past Mr. Steiner started a strenuous campaign among the colored voters in East Baltimore, and they seem to like the manner in which he enunciates his policies. He is making a house to house canvas and when the voters are out he puts a good word in, for himself with the women and children. During the next week over twenty meetings will be held in his interest in the different parts of the district, and when the primaries are held on August 30th, he says, he will have reached almost every voter in the district personally.

Frederick, Md., Aug. 16.—The Sunday School Convention of the Hagerstown District of the Baltimore Annual Conference A. M. E. church met at Quinn Chapel, Aug. 12 to 14. The welcome address was made by Mrs. M. P. Butler, and responded to Mr. Dennis Forbes, district superintendent. Quite a number of papers, were read giving various methods' by which rural schools may be lifted to the same status as city schools. Various ways to further the advancement of the child were given. The school is the divine nest of the community. It is the mothering place of the church and state. From the Sunday Schools are produced mechanics, merchants, good useful citizens, and well informed churchmen, who are not only useful members of society, but a blessing to our country. The various reports from the schools show they are on the upward march. Allen A. M. E. Sunday School Baltimore, received the banner having sent in the best report. The following officers were elected and installed: and instantiated District superintendent, Mr. D. A. Ferry, assistant superintendent, Mrs. M. P. Butler; secretary, Miss F. E.

Modeetly, as would best befit th character of the colored man whe held the lightweight. championshit from thé time he knocked out Frank Erne at Fort Brie, in one round, ix 1902, until he was himself beaten down by Battling Nelson, at Ta coma Arena on July 4, 1908, the telegraph’ dispatches have told th story of the passing of the old ring master. In the private office of James W Coffroth, there bangs a cartoon drawn by a well-known Eastern artist. It depicts Joe Gans as Na poleon searching for new fields to conquer. Under. neath is written “Superiority.” That cartoon was drawn following’ the Nelson-Gans bout .at Goldfield, Nevada. Gans represented what the prize ‘ring has always -lacked—the, fighter, in, his place. Further than that, as an ex- ponent of boxing rather than of fighting in its harded aspects, Gans did much to, keep the game in a healthy condition. It is because of these features that the death of Gans has attracted so much attention, not oilly trote followers of the game but from the world at large. The modesty of Gans was a trait which has been commented upon far and wide. Never, if be knew it, would Gans intrude. where he thot his company was not wanted, aud when conditions compelled him to meet strangers, he conducted hiusel as a gentleman in every respect. This attitude was unfailing, aud the championship never caused him to forget it. JACK CARROLL Ip The Baltimore Evenisg News. - When a man who dares to under take the writing of pugilistic history sets to his task, among the greatest fighters the world has ever produc. ed, he must rank well towards the top the name of “Joe” Gans... fighter to be reckoned among the truly great men of the ring, must have been the possessor of a knock: ‘out punch, ability to box in’ scien tifie style, and have shown himsel! to be a ring general of no mean order. In each of these respects, Gans will stand comparison with the mit men of all ages, colors and sizes and suffer none for it all. By many he is considered, when. every angle is noted, the greatest. fighter who ever stepped between, the ropes and. those who have dared to put others atop him have mentioned mighty few. " 8 Baltimore Lvening Sun. - - There.is no question about the po- sition that Gans will occupy iu: the history of the ring. “He was one o} the greatest lightweights that ever lived.’ He was a consumate master ofring tactics. He was exception- aily skilfal, was a clean, had punch- er, and could hand ont'a short jolt scarcely. less effective than Fitzsim: mons. He was an unusually clean fighter, and, with George Dixon, set an example that could be emulated with advantage by some of. the fighters of today. 3 Gans shunned the notoriety which invariably ‘accompanies fistie dis: tinction: It will be a long tinie be- fore we shall look ispon another sich lightweight. “Dr. Win.

Interesting Reports of What the Grand Lodge Has Accomplished Under the Able Leadership of Grand Master Henry Glaxton Binford-Sketch of His Career and Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The annual meeting of the Masonic grand lodge of Alabama, which was held at Montgomery during the week ending Aug. 20, was largely attended. The reports showed great gains in both membership and finance during the year. At Birmingham in February of this year Endowment Secretary-Transurer C. W. Allen said that the books of the grand officers showed receipts amounting to $42.500.63. Of this sum $28.453.00 went to the beneficiaries of deceased members and for other expenses incurred by the order. This left a cash balance of $14.323.73. The report of the widows and orphans' endowment department for the year ending June 24, 1809, showed receipts with a balance of $62,273.71. Of this sum $58,300 was paid to widows and orphans, leaving a balance, after taking out current expenses, of $2,482.50. There is much rejoicing over the phenomenal success of the order under the leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton-Binford, whose interest in the M. H. HENRY CLAXTON BINFORD. order never lags. A sketch of his career and achievements at this time seems most appropriate. Henry Claxton Binford was born in Madison county, near Huntsville, Ala. in 1851. He received his early education at Rust Normaf institute, Huntsville, which was established by northern philanthropists. He is noted for his frankness, generosity and manliness. These traits of character have won for him a host of friends, who lavish upon him their confidence and esteem. Grand Master Binford has had a busy life since the day he left school. His first educational work was that of public schoolteacher at Bleecher's Ford. Madison county, Ala. He also taught at Courtland and for many years in the city schools of Huntsville. Settling down early in life by his marriage May 1, 1873, to Miss Frances Ann Hendley. Mr. Bintford reared and educated a family of four children—Henry Connard, now principal of the Huntsville city schools; Pearl Amanda, now of the city school faculty; Charles King, a music professor, and John Allen, his private secretary. He had a distinguished career in politics. He served for many years as secretary of the Madison county (Ala.) executive committee and afterward as its chairman. He was elected a member of the Huntsville city council in 1901, which position he creditably filled for four years. He was for many years a trusted employee as storekeeper and gauger under the lamented Collector James T. Rapier and for four years—1890-4 a clerk in the United States land office at Huntsville, where he rendered efficient service. As a Mason his career dates from his initiation into Evening Star lodge, No. 6 in 1874, of which lodge he has ever since been a member. He served Evening Star lodge for years as worshipful master and afterward as secretary until succeeded in the latter position by his son, John Allen. The grand lodge of Alabama in 1894 elected him grand secretary, which position he continued to fill until June, 1901, when, in consequence of the death of the late Grand Master Reuben R. Mims, he acceded to that office. Since then he has been continuously re-elected without opposition. Besides the endowment department, now disbursing to widows and orphans $50,000 a year under his supervision, Grand Master Inford takes delight and special pride in the fifty dollar scholarships, established under his administration, for children of deceased MOB VIOLENCE DENOUNCED Colored Citizens of Washington Advise National Movement For Protection. Recent Intrudings in Florida, Texas and in other states of the Union was the subject discussed at a largely attented mass meeting of the colored citizens of Washington, held on Tuesday evening, Aug. 9. All of the speakers were emphatic in their protest against mob violence and the inactivity of the federal authorities in relation thereto. H. A. Clarke in the course of an extended address said: "The south again has made herself conspicuous by the recent lynching of innocent and defenseless Negroes. In violation of the laws of God and man she has been the principal in three of the epheds in world's history—namely, the epoch of slavery and rebellion, the period of Kukluxism and ballot box stulting and the era of lynching, disfranchisement and jim Crowism." The Rev. F. N. Ross, who dwelt at length on the recent horrible lynching at Palestine, Tex., said: "God wants the Negroes to get together and take care of themselves. There are 100,000 Negroes in Washington, and they are told by the white people to run to God with everything." "They are taught to be afraid of themselves. They won't sit out for themselves. If the supreme court of the United States had put down race rioting and bent its efforts to stopping mob violence this Texas slaughter would never have occurred." Other speakers exhorted the race throughout the south as the most effective weapon to join in a national movement for personal protection. The sentiment was approved in the form of resolutions. NEGRO'S LOYALTY PRAISED. By Northern White Woman Who Rojoiced Over Johnson's Victory. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Press a white woman of Harrisburg, who signed her name "A Mother," referring to the Johnson-Jerries fight, says: I was taken to task for rejoicing over the colored man's victory. I remember that the colored people were stolen by the Dutch, brought here and sold into slavery to make money. The Bible tells us, "Woe to the land, overshadowed by it, the Ferguson who stirs and process it," and this is the beginning of the end, a foretaste of what is coming. For myself, I am not afraid of the colored race. They are a peculiarly loving, loyal friend to all who befriend them (like a faithful horse or dog) and are our best friends when we are together, and their reach to the third and fourth generations" likewise the virtues. My ancestors were always good to the colored people, and, like "the blood on the doorpost," we will be spared when that fearful day comes. The colored race revere my grandfather's name, for he was the first man to offer education to them. He said "the colored people have souls that are built into a house on his pinnatation and sent north for a minister's daughter to teach them. It caused so much trouble with his邻居phishing phone calls and moved and moved to Ohio. Several of the "f faithful" followed him and his brother and sister into that new It is time and space wasted to discuss this miserable lowering folly with creatures who try to pass for "civilized men" of the present generation, but we hope, to improve the rising one to better citizens and statesmen. We are needed to our sorrow the folly of trying to depend on the men in power to suppress this shameful business. It is now time for action against the lowering demoralizing influences of the rabble. AMERICAN MANHOOD THE STANDARD OF FREEDOM. Enfranchisement of. Women. Would Lessen Crime Against the Negro. So we are to have a few more "grandfather clauses," observes the Pittsburgh Courier, this time of the western type. Soon we'll have the suffragist's "grandmother clause." We always have loved our grandmamma's way of doing things. She had a virtue for honesty. "Twas the old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The enfranchisement of women will minimize the crimes of injustice committed against the Negro. Because the same power of influence attained by her from birth, education and Christion religion would place woman so high above her less fortunate sisters that she would not countenance, neither would she consiple, to rob men of their citizenship, especially when that citizenship went for American maudhood, the standard of freedom guaranteed under the constitution of a Christian country. Liberal Aid For Dickson Orphanage. In donating the sum of $47.50 to the Dickson Colored orphanage, at Fort Worth, Tex., at its recent meeting in that town the Masonic grand lodge of Texas set a good example. The orphanage was also the recipient of $91, which was given by the Taborian grand lodge at its meeting at Fort Worth on July 2%. By the liberal contributions of these two grand bodies the managers of the orphanage have been greatly helped in meeting the financial obligations of the institution. Negro Fair and Farmers' Congress. The promoters of the central Texas Negro fair and farmers' congress are jubilant over the success, which attended the three days' meeting of the organization, which closed at Marlin, Tex. on Saturday, Aug. 13. The fair was largely attended by persons from almost all sections of the state. The reports and exhibits gave evidence of the wonderful progress which our people are making in the Lone Star State. The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, copper, titanium man or men who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used, with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular minesal sought for. Lost end buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located. Successful miners and prospectors these needles, but in the past they have been difficult to find. We understand that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be gled to correspond with anyone interested in the subject.

They are very nice. Three million matches are lighted in this world every minute in every hour of each day. Seven billion is the enormous number for the entire year, and those living under the American flag are said to be responsible for the consumption of one-half of this amount. These figures do not include matches made in heaven, of course. Much Worse Things. To be poor is not always pleasant, but worse things than that happen at sea. Small shoes are apt to pinch, but not if you have a small foot; if we have little, means it will be well to have little desires. Poverty is no shame, but being discontented with it is. It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness: — Spurgeon. Honest Officials. What we have to demand in ourselves and in our public servants is honesty—honesty to all men; and if we condone dishonesty because we think it is exercised in the interests of the people, we may rest assured that the man thus showing it lacks only the opportunity to exercise it against the interests of the people.—Theodore Roosevelt. A man complained to the Tonbridge Board of Guardians that when, he wrote inquiring as to the condition of his wife, who had been sent to the county asylum, he received a reply that she was "much about the same". He had since found out that she had been dead 12 months. Savs Marcus: Begin the morning by saying to thy self: "I shall meet the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envilous, and unsocial. But I who have seen the nature of the good, that it is beautiful, and of the bad, that it is ugly, can be injured by none of them." - Marcus Aurellus. Some Blast. Something like a blast took place at Bonnao quarries the other day when upward of 400,000 tons of granite was displaced. The face of the rock was 300 feet high and the powder was located 80 feet from the quarry floor. The Music Was Fatal. A New York politician once found it necessary to attend an entertainment at an orphans' home and he was having a bad time of it. The selection by the boys' band was particularly distressing. Turning to a friend, the politician said with a shudder, "No wonder they are orphans."—SUCCESS. Cost of Maintenance of Rats.
