SENATORS BOOT AND LA COLLETT LAUGHING STOCK OF THE EN THEY HAVE PLAYED IN THE MUCH MONEY BELONGING TO THE HAS BEEN EXPENDED BY S MAN TO ASSIST THE TRIBUN LORIMER. James Keeley, editor and manager of the Chicago Tribune, is having his day in court, as it were, for the latter part of last week and the first of this week, he has been engaged in testifying before the Lorimer investigating committee at Washington, D. C. and to say the least he has made a very poor showing and placed the Tribune in a position which is not to the credit of any first class newspaper. On his direct examination he had smooth sailing and he and his attorneys carried everything before them without the least trouble, but he received a terrible grilling when he fell into the hands of Judge Haney. He grew real red in the face under the hot grilling and he finally admitted on the witness stand that "The Tribune" paid Charles A. White $3,250 for his fake story. That he first wanted $50,000, then he fell to $4,000 and at last he gladly accepted the sum first mentioned. It was also brought out in the testimony of Mr. Keeley, that "The Old Trib" has expended more than $20,000 in its mad effort to down the Blond Senator, but has not and will not succeed in doing so, that for some time it gave its word and honor by advertising in its columns that it would give any one five thousand dollars if they could impart any information to it which would tend to prove that Senator Lorimer, either directly or indirectly paid out money to any one to aid in his election to the United States Senate. Staggering under a great load of pain editor Keeley, was forced to admit that not one same man, woman or child came forward and even attempted to earn five thousand dollars of easy money in this direction, that with all the money at its command the Tribune was unable to buy any new light or information whatever, which connected Senator Lorimer with bribery in any manner, shape or form. Edward Hines held his own before the committee and made a first class witness, the most important part of his testimony was not shaken by the Attorneys on the opposite side, he told a straightforward story respecting his connection with the one hundred thousand dollar found which was supposed to be expended in buying up the members of the Illinois Legislature, who on roll call assisted to put Senator Lorimer over. Senators Root and La Follette, who would like to become presidents of the United States, have made themselves the laughing stock of the entire world for the part they have played in the Lorimer fiasco. Both of these distinguished gentlemen, one claming to be an eminent lawyer, read the Tribune every day and they greatly enjoyed in drinking in all the mean and bitter things which it has contained for years against Senator Lorimer and firmly and blindly believing every word it dished up in this respect they both umbosomed themselves of bitter speeches, in the Senate last winter attacking Senator Lorimer, banding him as a corrupt briber, a criminal and a low vile specimen of humanity who was in every way wholly unfit to associate with decent and honorable gentlemen like unto themselves, but the revelations of the last few days have even been an eye opener to Senators Root and La Follette and by this time they should certainly be convinced that they have been barking up the wrong tree. Thomas McGuire, head of the McGuire and White Detective agency in this city testified before the committee on Thursday and while under oath on the witness stand, after carefully measuring his words, he declared that state's Attorney John E. W. Wayman, had paid his Detective agency almost one thousand dollars, the money coming out of the pockets of the taxpayers of Cook county, that it was expended for only one purpose, namely, to assist the Chicago Tribune in its fight against Senator Lorimer. The United States Senate has expended almost one million dollars of the peoples' money in the wild cat Lorimer investigations and so far nothing good has come from it, except to gratify the Chicago Tribune, and its sorehead office seeking followers, it is high time to call a halt in this reckless expenditure of so much money which comes out of the pockets of the toiling millions and not out of the pockets of the rich or the high born or the bloated millionaires. EIGHTH REGIMENT UNDER COL JOHN R. MARSHALL, DOES GOOD WORK AT TOURNA- The Eighth Regiment, under the command of Col. John R. Marshall took an active and conspicuous part at the big military tournament at Grant's Park this week. On Wednesday, Sergt. "Bill" Berry, the famous Eighth band and Regiment led the Dress Parade. The Colored boys were loudly applauded. It was on Thursday night when they took a real active part on the program. He came off the field amid cheers, the officers of the Governor's staff pronouncing them the "dineat" of the week. Their splendid drilling made week. Their splendid drilling made every one feel proud of the Eighth. M. J. H. JACOB J. KERN. The real or the true record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was State's Attorney of Cook County, is just beginning to dawn upon the minds of the people in this city and county, and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1912. The real or the true record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was State's Attorney of Cook County, is just beginning to dawn upon the minds of the people in this city and county, and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1912. State's Attorney Wayman has let it be known that he expects to seek the Republican nomination for Governor. Mr. Wayman will have to make his campaign, of course, on his record as state's attorney. He has nothing else. What is that record? The figures show. They were printed yesterday and they show. They show that under Jacob J. Kern the state's attorney's office spent in four years $168,484.62 and obtained 2,684 convictions at an average cost of $628 each. In Charles S. Deneen's eight years the total expenditure was $436,153.17, the convictions obtained were 3,980, and the average cost was $1,096. In John J. Healy's four years the expenditure was $348,142.96, the convictions were 1,701, and the average cost was $2,047. But in the two years of Mr. Wayman for which the records are complete the expenditure has been $259,319.19, the convictions obtained only 655, and the average cost per conviction $3,960. Mr. Kern was the most criticised state's attorney Cook county has had in recent years. Whether justly or unjustly, Mr. Kern was widely accused and denounced. But how Jacob Kern shines when compared with J. E. W. Wayman! On the record Mr. Wayman's efficiency is 16 per cent of Mr. Kern's. For the money that Mr. Wayman takes to convict one criminal Mr. Kern convicted six and had some left for a seventh case. This is the record on which Mr. Wayman will have to make his Governorship campaign. In the light of that record, no gift of prophecy is required to foresee the end of that campaign.—The Inter Ocean, July 23, '11. It has taken many years for the actual truth to come out in relation to the splendid record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was state's Attorney of Cook county and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1919. CHIEF McWEENY, WILL ENFORCE THE ANTI-NOISE ORDINANCE. Four or Five Thousand Peddlers Are Last Saturday morning the writer called on Chief McWeeny and after being received with the glad hand he assured us that the police would do their duty and enforce the anti-noise ordinance in all sections of this city and we have unbounded faith in the statements made by him in this respect. To come right down to it, the signs of the times seem to indicate that the absolute reign of the noisy peddlers is drawing to a close in this city where they have carried everything high handed for many years. In beholding the hand writing on the wall, four or five thousand of them are at the present time out on a strike and much rioting and disorder prevails in certain sections of the city, they have already started in to destroy other people's property, and to end the lives of those who refuse to join them in their rape upon law and order and the upshot of it, all means that they have a longing to break into prison for life or to hang up by their stocks until they are dead, for law and order must prevail in Chicago peddlers or no peddlers.

Washington Again Fails to Prosecute Albert Ulrich FOR KNOCKING HIM IN THE HEAD LAST MARCH IN THE FRONT HALL-WAY OF AN APARTMENT HOUSE. IN NEW YORK CITY HE WAS ACCUSED OF INSULTING THE WIFE OF THE GERMAN JANITOR AND CARPENTER. THE GREAT WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE WAS RESTING UP AT HIS FINE SUMMER HOME NEAR NEW YORK CITY. WHEN HIS CASE WAS CALLED FOR THE FOURTH OF FIFTH TIME AND NEITHER HE NOR HIS LAWYER APPEARED IN COURT. THE PAPERS CLAIM IT WILL NEVER BE TRIED THAT HE IS WILLING TO LEAVE HIS EPISODE IN NEW YORK "TENDERLOIN DISTRICT UNEXPLAINED. THE NEW MOSES OF THE NEGRO RACE SEVERAL YEARS AGO SPENT A LARGE SUM OF MONEY IN ORDER TO PROSECUTE WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. FOR ASKING HIM A FEW QUESTIONS IN A PUBLIC MEETING. BUT HE IS WILLING TO PERMIT A WHITE MAN TO ASSAULT HIM AND PRAISE HIM, FOR BEATING HIM UP. It was stated in these columns several weeks ago that Booker T. Washington had gotten cold feet and that he never would prosecute Albert Ulrich the German janitor or carpenter, for knocking him in the head while he was hanging around in the front hallway of an apartment building in New York City, the middle of last March, for at that time the case had just been called in court and for reasons best known to himself he permitted it through his attorney Wilford Smith, who floated into New York City, from Alabama, some years ago to go over until another session of the court. The case was again called up for the fourth or fifth time last week and there being no appearances it was sent to the foot of the calendar and it will not be reached again until the October term of court. It appears that the great wizard of Tuskegee, at the time was at his fine summer home near New York City, but neither he nor his attorney, would consent to go within halling distance of the court. The eastern newspapers claim that it will never be tried, that he is willing to leave his episode in the New York "Tenderloin District" unexplained. It seems very strange indeed that the great industrial educator has lost all interest in his case, for several days after he had met with his mis- THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS WILL BE HELD IN DENVER, COLORADO. The Negro National Educational Congress, will be held at Denver Colorado, August 12, 13, 14 and 15. Its officers are Prof. J. Silas Harris President; Prof Harry R. Graham Secretary; Col. George T. Wassom, Chairman ex. committee. The Congress will devote its entire time to working out some plan or plans whereby condition of the race may be bettered. During his nearly half century of freedom, the Negro has made marked progress along all lines of human endeavor, and the hope of the race lies in his ability to make greater strides in the future. It will concern itself not only with the affairs of the men and women of the race of today, but seek to so guide and direct the youth that they may be better prepared than were their fathers and mothers to enter into all of the activities of life. It is not the purpose of this Congress to supersede displace or usurp the plan of any other movement having for its object the betterment of the conditions of the race, but rather to contribute all possible support in the same direction. To find some ground of mutual sympathetic and harmless co-operation upon which the races may work for the common good is an effort rich in possibilities and worthy of the time No.43 Washington to Prosecute Ulrich LAST MARCH IN THE FRONT HALL- HOUSE.

But it seems that he was simply talking through the top of his hat and that he is too full of the white rabbit to prosecute any white gentleman for brutally clubbing him, no doubt he is of the opinion that his best southern white friends would never forgive him if he asserted his manhood in that or in any other respect. Only a few years ago the new Moses of the Negro race spent a large sum of money in order to prosecute William Monroe Trotter, and to utterly destroy his paper The Guardian for simply attempting to ask a few questions in a public meeting which was held in one of the churches in Boston Mass. But like the great majority of Colored men and women he is perfectly willing to permit white men to assault him and them and then praise them for beating them up and for otherwise mistreating them, but if a Colored man happens to look cross eyed at him or them they are willing to spend thousands of dollars in an effort to send him to jail. and energy devoted to its development as intended through this movement. If this Congress succeeds only in awakening interest and in changing conditions along one or two neglected lines it will have well rewarded each and every one who contributes to its success. As it is one of the penalties of intelligence to burden its possessor with increased responsibilities to one's fellowman; and as the need of developing a higher type of useful and self-relying citizenship becomes the more apparent as the race advances intellectually, the men and women of today cannot escape their indebtedness to their less fortunate neighbors and to their own posterity. The Congress will be held in Convention Hall, one of the finest public buildings in the country and one in which the people of Denver take great pride. The first of this week, some strong arm men who knew the lay of the land, forced their way into the home of Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Anderson 3018 State street, and while they were "joy riding" in their pretty auto, the strong arm gentlemen got away with 50 bones of real good money, one or two diamond brooches and with some other valuable plunder.

THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE, HAMPTON, VIRGINIA. Hampton, Va., July 22.—The fifteenth annual meeting of the Hampton Negro Conference was held at Hampton Institute on July 19 and 20, under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of Hampton Institute and the Census Bureau, Washington, D. C. The Conference discussed the following topics: "Women's Work for Community Betterment," "Place of the Church in Rural Life," "Improvement of Rural Life," "Negro Organization Society of Virginia," and Co-operation in Virginia." Mrs. Harris Barrett, Hampton, Va. president Virginia Federation of Colored Women, outlined the interesting story of the growth of the Federation, which was organized in 1907 at the Hampton Negro Conference. Mrs. Barrett's report showed clearly that the Negroes of Virginia have been learning to work together to uplift community life. Mrs. I. C. Norcom, Portsmouth, Va., read a paper on "Women's Community Clubs." She showed clearly the dependence of right-living or right-thinking. Mrs. Laura B. Titus, Norfolk Va., showed the need of social centers for Colored girls who are travelling North and South. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Richmond, Va., spoke on the "Negro Woman's Religious Activity." Thomas C. Walker, Gloucester, Va., the well known farmer-lawyer, declared that the people were actively engaged in caring for youthful delinquents and the children of pauper parents. Rev. J. W. Patterson, Hampton, Va., urged closer co-operation between educated Negro leaders and ministers. Co-operation of White Leaders. Dr. James Buchanan, secretary of the Associated Charities of Richmond, Va.; Dr. Hollis B. Frissel, Hampton Institute; W. W.

Dillard, New Orleans, La., president of the Jeanes Fund; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jenes of Hampton; Jackson Davis, state supervisor of Negro schools in Virginia—these white men of the North and South took an active and helpful part in the Conference discussions. Church and Rural Life. Dr. S. G. Atkins, secretary of education for the A. M. E. Zion Church, Winston-Salem, N. C., gave six reasons for the movement of Negroes to the cities: Decline of parental authority, lack of rural entertainment, want of good school facilities, so called "poor wages," and ignorance of farming. Dr. Atkins urged that Hampton Institute should establish a form of religious demonstration work to help the Negro ministers check the movement toward the cities. Rev. C. L. Bonner, Toccoa, Ga., outlined the results that have been already accomplished among the Negro farmers of Georgia, through the influence of the rural church—improved farm stock, increased corn production, reduction of debts, and the introduction of valuable preacher-demonstrators. Rev. W. L. Morris, Trenholme, Va., a graduate of Hampton in 1897, and A. W. Nicholson, Trenton, S. C., principal of Bettis Academy, showed how successfully the Negro schools and churches have co-operated for community uplift. Physician's Meeting: Dr. J. J. France, of Portsmouth, Va., conducted an interesting round table, at which the following men and women took part: Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, Norfolk, Va. Dr. W. A. Atkinson, Hampton, Va., Dr. Samuel B. Jones, Greensboro, N. C., Maud Reynolds, Roanoke, Va., Dr. S. C. Collins, Portsmouth, Va., Dr. P. A. Scott, Newport News, Va., Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, and Ocea Taylor, editor of the "Washington American," Washington, D. C. The topics discussed included: Work of anti-tuberculosis leagues, health talks, educational health meetings, work of public hospitals, and the Negro death rate. Negro Organization Society. Prof. W. T. B. Williams, field agent of Hampton Institute, described the method which has been used for getting Negro churches, business leagues, and lodges to co-operate with the Negro Organization Society for the improvement of educational and health condition among the Negroes along the lines similar to those followed by the Co-operative Education Commission of Richmond. Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va., declared that Negroes must do more to help themselves. He emphasized the importance of all classes locking hands for race advancement in Virginia. Resolutions. Resolutions dealing with the following topics were unanimously agreed upon; Influence of the Negro church upon moral, educational, and material welfare of rural community; betterment of school grounds and buildings; ministers' institutes; co-operation of all organizations for race advancement; crusade against consumption; better preparations of Negro school teachers; and need of stimulating public interest in Colored schools. FOR TAFT AND BRADLEY. Kentucky Republicans Declare Thein Choice for 1912. STRONG FOR THE PRESIDENT. Judge O'Bear, Nominated for Governor Without Opposition, Predicts Republican Victory in the State in November, Which He Says Will Be Fore-runner of Party's Success Next Year. Louisville, Ky., July 22.—President Taft has no more loyal supporters anywhere than in Kentucky, and every mention of his name in the Republican State convention today provoked the wildest enthusiasm. The convention adopted a platform that dealt chiefly with State issues, but the first plank contained in the platform was a ringing endorsement of the administration of President Taft and his candidacy for re-election in 1912. In the platform as originally adopted, of the three Republican members of Congress from Kentucky only the name of Senator Bradley was mentioned. He was commended for supporting the policies of the President. Later, however, a resolution was adopted commending Senator Bradley, Representative Caleb Powers and Representative John W. Langley for their support of the President, and indorsed their records in Congress. Text of the Indorsement. That portion of the platform containing the endorsement of the President is as follows: "We recognize the high character and ability and distinguished public service of President Taft, and cordially and unreservedly indorse him for renomination in 1912. We heartily commend Senator William O. Bradley and our representatives in Congress for the assistance they have given the President in the rendition of these services." Judge Edward G. O'Rear was nominated for governor without opposition; E. T. Franks and Lieut. Gov. Cox declining at the last moment to permit their names to go before the convention. In his speech of acceptance Judge O'Rear said he indorsed the platform in whole and in part. He expressed himself as being pleased with the indorsement of President Taft, and said that Republican success in Kentucky next November would be the forerunner of Republican success in the nation twelve months later. For Bradley for Vice-President The convention adopted a resolution indorsing Senator Bradley for Vice-President. The resolution was proposed by Caleb Powers. While the clerk was reading the resolution a banner containing the inscription, $ ^{1} $ "Taft and Bradley, 1912," was held aloft, and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed. An effort was made to nominate former Congressman Don C. Edwards for lieutenant governor. His name was presented to the convention, but Mr. Edwards insisted that he not be voted for, adding that it would be impossible for him to accept the nomination if it was tendered him, as he had pledged his support to another candidate. In an interview tonight Judge O'Bear predicted the success of the ticket nominated today by a majority exceeding 30,000. Similar interviews were given out by Senator Bradley, Culeb Powera, John W. Langley, and Don C. Edwards. All of the leaders agreed that the endorsement of President Taft carried with it the instructed vote of Kentucky in 1912. "Kentucky is for Taft first, last, and of the time," Mr. Powers said, "and no other namb will be mentioned in the State convention one year hence."1 "Mr. Powers has expressed my sentiments," was Mr. Langley's comment. Judge O'Rear's Praise of Mr. Taft. In a formal statement Judge O'Rear said: "The Republican party is a progressive party. It always has been. When it ceases to be such it will begin to die. The last President of the United States before the present incumbent was progressive. I do not think anybody has a doubt about that. The present incumbent—William Howard Taft—is also truly progressive. He believes in applying to the changed and changing conditions of the times such new policies of government as will fairly and justly meet the requirements of his day. It is therefor that he has the confidence, the admiration, and the trust of the American people, who know him as a man of tried and proven integrity, one who believes in going ahead with his country, who believes in making it and keeping it abreast with the best of the age, who is today the most conspicuous statesman in America, advocating sane, progressive policies, measuring up to the demands of the public opinion and the popular judgment. The Republican party will not forsake the ideal of progress which has marked it from the hour of its birth."—The Washington (D. C.) Post, July 22, 1911. OUTINGS FOR THE BABIES.

MOUNT GLENWOOD CEMETERY SUNDAY, JULY 30TH, 1911 THIS is to be the greatest Excursion of the Season. Don't fail to come out. Beautiful ride. Beautiful scenery. Great opportunity to get a lovely lot at a low price and easy terms. Aside from your need of a lot for burial purposes, you will get a first class sure profit investment. Lots in some Chicago cemeteries are selling for $2,500, $3,500, to $16,000. We believe Mount Glenwood lots will, within a reasonable time, be valued at $450.00 to $1200.00. This cemetery, remember, is unique and most exclusively run for the people's benefit. We want our people to get the advance in prices, and so we do not wish to sell any large blocks of lots to speculators. This excursion is for prospective lot buyers and those who desire to investigate the property. Therefore, no children will be allowed on the train, neither are pleasure-seekers welcome. This is a Free Excursion, but, remember it costs us a great deal of money to run a free excursion train and we are doing it only to make sales for the benefit of the Cemetery and we believe all lot owners will realize this and act accordingly. Send buyers out and bring buyers if you can, but don't impose on our generosity by making this a pleasure trip. Mount Glenwood Cemetery—Your Cemetery. You ought to be proud of Mount Glenwood! You ought to assist in every way to make the Cemetery the pride of Chicago and of your people. Education and property ownership of churches, schools, cemeteries and public holdings will do more than any other power to elevate any people. Help this enterprise and you are helping to establish a monument that will permanently and continuously be a token of your enterprise, foresight and love. Help this enterprise and you are helping yourself. Don't Scatter Your Forces. More good things are destroyed by division and scattering of forces than any other way. If you can divide an army, you can beat it. If you scatter your investments, you are likely to have several ineffective or half cared for properties. We are going to make Mount Glenwood a complete and lasting success. Concentrate your influence on Mount Glenwood and help us to make it The One Great Success, a place to be proud of—a permanent and beautiful place where you will feel safe to bury your dead. There is no cemetery in the United States so exclusively a cemetery for the people. No cemetery that is so fully run for the benefit of the people; none that will approach it in beauty and perfection of appointment when it is completed. We Want to Make Mount Glenwood the most complete, best equipped and most beautiful cemetery in the State. We intend to build a substantial Vault, a beautiful Chapel, an ornamental Gate, set out Trees, improve Drives, continue to beautify and improve the property. We consider Mount Glenwood now to be the best, the most naturally beautiful, most available and most free, of any cemetery in the County, but we want to further perfect it for the accommodation of our patrons. Think what this property means to you! A lovely burial place for your dear ones who have passed on to the Beautiful City. Instead of being crowded into small spaces where you are not welcome, you have a permanent, beautiful, well-cared for place of burial which will be preserved in beauty forever. In this beautiful spot you can now secure a 8 Grave Lot for a very low price and on easy payments. You are compelled to pay $50 in many cemeteries for a Single Grave. After investigating other properties and in comparison to these lots, we believe they would be reasonable at $450 and they will surely advance in value very soon. As we have repeatedly told you, when you buy a lot, you are not only providing yourself with a beautiful lot against the time of need, but you are making an investment that will absolutely make money for you if held and handled properly. It costs you absolutely nothing to carry this property. There are no taxes. There are no special assessments. Now, honestly, don't you think you ought to work for Mount Glenwood as a matter of public good? Don't you think you ought to buy one or more lots at these low prices and on these easy terms, because it is a provision you ought to make for your family? Don't you want to secure some of this property as a first-class investment? We are working for the benefit of our own customers and our people. Now, let us all unite to make Mt. Glenwood the finest burial place in the United States. Let us have one good big success, instead of half a dozen failures. Work with us and we will work for you and your interests. more quiet and orderly company of people never went out of Chicago than go on these excursions and you will enjoy the ride. In order that we may order enough cars to give every one a seat, we request, as a favor, that you send us a postal card during the week, telling us how many of your friends are going on this excursion.

SUCCESS STATE SCHOOL First Year at Maryland Normal Gratitude to Principal Goodie The first year of the Maryland Normal and Industrial school at Jericho Park, in Prince Georges county, Md., was a pronounced success. Professor D. S. S. Goodloe, principal of the institution, which is supported by the state, is very much gratified over the bright outlook for doing a much needed educational work in that section of the state among the masses of Afro-Americans. The present school building is the first of a proposed group which will in time be built upon the grounds of Jericho Park. The spot is one of the most beautiful in Prince Georges county. The present building is of red brick with granite trimmings and is three stories high, with a large basement. The latter is divided into a kitchen, dining hall, laundry and heating plant. The first floor will be divided into study halls and offices, while the second floor will be used as dormitories and will also contain the apartments of the teachers. Lockers, bathroom and toilets are also on this floor. The third floor is a large hall and will be used temporarily as a gymnasium. The building is heated by steam and illuminated by electric lights. The building cost about $17,000, while the ground on which it is located cost $5,000. There are 187 acres of ground which will be used as a farm and for the breeding of blooded stock. The fall term will commence Sept. 18. R. W. Thompson as Boy Statesman. According to the ippe dixit of the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel, R. W. Thompson of Washington and Indiana respectively, national newspaper correspondent and versatile writer, was the first colored boy to serve as page in the legislature of the state of Indiana.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION. Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State Aid For Noted School. Wilberforce. O.—The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institutions which usually receive financial aid from the state. Wilberforce university was the only school whose appropriation for 1911-12 was not cut below that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twenty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years. On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Johner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910 There are four educational institutions in the state for which the legislative appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges and their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cept. The special appropriations amount to $10,220.09; the pro rata of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46.500. This added to the special appropriations makes for Wilberforce $137,720.99 for 1911 and 1912 Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000. for 1911, $12,600; appropriation for industries for 1910 was $4,000. for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important increase, both as to amount and significance to the plant at this time is the increase in the amount obtained for repair and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $18,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two months. Mans of the buildings are much in need of repair and much improvement on the grounds will be made possible. But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year. An Invidious Inquiry. It is related of the president of a famous college that at one time he allowed his wife to persuade him of the uselessness of fire insurance on household goods, and he allowed his policy to lace. But, better judgment asserting itself, he finally renewed his insurance. The same day a fire in his wife's room destroyed some of her dresses, which the professor enjoyed as a good job. In due time the president of the insurance company wrote President Blank this letter: "Dear Mr. Blank—We inclose check for $500, paying your fire claim under our policy B8007." Phone Aldine 2532 POINTS FOR BUSINESS MEN Qualifications Which Each Should Possess—Wanamaker as Example. By ALBON L. HOLSEY. Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things: vi. ability to purchase, knowledge of salesmanship and knowledge of advertising. No successful business is complete without the three, and yet we rarely see a person capable of doing all three creditably. Perhaps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the orchinator of a certain style of advertising. A man who is skillful in the purchase of raw materials for his factory or of goods for his retail store and is a good salesman will "make a living" in any business. Many colored business men whom we call successful] are merely the "making a good living" kind. These men are in the main satisfied to drift along in this manner when if they would add an equal amount of advertising with the same care and judgment their business would in most cases double itself in a few years and give employment to many persons. PAGE RETAINED. Head of University by Oregon State Educators The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by reappointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma University for Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is located in Langston, Oklahoma, and has under the efficient management of President Inman E. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklahoma fourteen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jefferson City, Mo. Professor Page knows both the value of a classical as well as an industrial education and is thus well qualified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifications call for. Because of the satisfactory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown Westposition a few years ago. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION Public Exercises Held In Many Sections For Great Range Benefactor. Public meetings for the celebration of the centenary of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe have been held in many sections of the country thus far this month by Afro-Americans who appreciate the work which Mrs. Stowe did in creating public settlement against slavery. Such meetings are eminently befitting for all men who love freedom and personal liberty should revere those who with pen, money, sword and personal influence helped to break down and destroy the unjust traffic in human flesh which lasted for centuries in America. Perhaps the most notable meeting of the many was the one held in Fancull hall commanded for and carried out successfully by Afro-American women in Boston, Mrs. M. Crayath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Women's Anti-racism society, and her coworkers were prime movers of the celebration in which many distinguished persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama, Mr. Frank Sanborn, Professor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mr. Agnes Adams, Mia Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Boston Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Harrison published the Liberator, was the Moors and headquarters of a constant strong of visitors throughout the continental festivities. Mr. Manning in the exotium of his great speech said: "It makes the hearts of colored people ash to see the federal government going abroad to protect Americans and offering no protection to Americans who need it right at home. No foreign government would do worse to its own or American citizens than the American government is doing to its own citizens by GENERAL BANKING nt allowed on Savings Deposit Vaults, $3.00 REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT Full Real Estate on commission, manage- ment of taxes and locking after assess- state.
