HIS STAR OF HOPE IS FAST RECEE HE BELIEVES THAT MANUAL O SUFFICIENT FOR THE C MEMBERS OF HIS OWN FA Booker T. Washington far lo these many years, has been traveling up and down this broad land, riding on free railroad transportation, occupying the best berths in Pullman cars and stopping at the finest hotels in the north, east and west conducted for the whites, at the sametime running as fast as his legs could carry him away from every Colored man who endeavored to induce him to stop at some nice hotel or boarding house conducted by Colored people, preaching to the world that "the best white friends of the Negro always have and still reside in the Southern states. This hobby has been ridden by him for many years, knowing all the time down deep in his cowardly heart that it was an untruth, he has also lead the unthinking Negro to believe that if "he possessed a bank account and held a mortgage on the white man's house or land," that such a Negro would be king of kings in the south as money talked louder than anything else in that section of the country. Time however, has proven that his bold statements in this respect are devoid of the absolute truth, for it is generally admitted by those who are in a position to know that Booker T. Washington is worth well onto half a million dollars, that he and Ben Tillman, have made more easy or blood money in talking on their so-called "Negro Problem," than all the other American citizens combined, that he has a large bank account, that he owns valuable property at Tuskegee, Alabama and a fine summer home near New York City, that he has always been submissive to the preach- A PUBLIC CALL FOR GENERAL REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY. We, the undersigned citizens and voters of Cook County, believing that Progress is the watchword of the hour, and that the old order of political conditions must give way before the wide-spread demand for a change—a "New Deal," in the Republican party, which in order to fight and win the people's battles must face forward—and believing that the present Progressive movement stands for a restoration of popular government, a return of party, control to the rank and file and a relegation to the rear of those who as leaders have brought the party to disaster through loss of public confidence. And believing that in this progressive movement there are great possibilities of remedying political conditions from which we have suffered and of assuring as a fair voice in public affairs heretofore denied us. Therefore, as citizens and voters of Chicago and Cook County, we issue this call for a general Mass Meeting of the Colored voters of Cook County, to convene at Odd Fellows Hall, 3335 State street, Thursday, August 24th, 1911, at 8:00 p. m., for the purpose of discussing and taking action on the best way of participating in the Progressive Republican movement in Illinois. We have considered the question from many angles, and believe that the progressive movement not only appeals to every good citizen, but that there are especially strong reas- HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY ing of southern white gentlemen in relation to the fact that all Colored men must keep themselves in their proper places, when white gentlemen are around, especially those who always have an itching desire to make love to Colored women. Notwithstanding these facts, and notwithstanding all the wealth possessed by Booker T. Washington, last week the legislature at Austin, Texas voted against permitting the great Wizard of Tuskegee, to speak in the Representatives' hall in the State Capitol, during his proposed visit or trip through the Lone Star State this fall, every member of its legislature recorded his vote in favor of letting him fall down, in order to further teach or learn him to keep himself in his proper place. Evidently his star of hope is fast receding in the Southland and unless he firmly makes up his mind to appear in open court in New York City and push his case against Albert Ulrich, for knocking him in the head, the best people in all sections, of this country, like the members of the legislature of Texas, will continue to break away from him. Recently while addressing the National Colored Teachers' Association at St. Louis, Mo., he declared that there are "Too Many high-toned Negro teachers, who are accomplishing no good for themselves nor for the race" and be further intimated that he believes that manual or industrial education is all sufficient for the members of the Colored race, aside from the members of his own family. ons why we should unite for this campaign and not divide our forces. Every Colored voter in Chicago and Cook County is urged to attend the Meeting and give his best thought for the benefit of his Race, State and Country. UNITED DE STAND: DIVIDED WE FALL. Beauregard F.

Former Master In Chancery of the Superior Court highest esteem by thousands of his f fellow citizens out Cook County and he would be an ideal candidate one of the new Judgeships this fall. A warning against the dangers of dust was issued in a statement made to-day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in which it is shown that the percentage of death caused by tuberculosis in dusty trades is more than double that for all employed men in the registration area of the United States. As a result of the dangers from consumption to those exposed to various forms of dust, and at the request of the National Association, the United States Government has recently appointed a commission to work in cooperation with state authorities in making an investigation into the conditions of the metal mining industries in the United States, with special reference to diseases of the lungs. The work of the commission engaged in this special task will follow lines somewhat similar to those worked out by the Royal Commission of Australia, whose report was recently received in this country. "Dusts are of three kinds," says the National Association; "factory, street, and house dusts." The statement refers to the results obtained through investigations made for the Bureau of Labor, by Frederick L. Hoffman. While among males generally in the registration area of the United States 14.5 per cent of all deaths are from consumption, the mortality among grinders from this disease is 49.2 per cent, and in hardly any of the dusty trades is it below 25 per cent. The percentage of deaths from tuberculosis among all those exposed to metallic dust is 26.9 per cent; to mineral dust, 28.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre dust, 28.8 per cent; to mixed animal and other forms of dust, 32.1 per cent; to street dust, 25.5 per cent; and to organic, or dust coming from the articles being manufactured, 23 per cent. The statement speaks also of the dangers from house dust, especially in rooms that are not well ventilated. The Association warns against dry sweeping and against the use of the feather duster, or other devices that scatter, but do not take up the dust. Since the ordinary dust blown about in the streets is impregnated with disease germs, the National Association urges the adoption of methods that will prevent the further dissemination of such bacillus. It also urges for the coming months of fall and winter, more open windows Superior Court, who is held in theellow citizens in this city and throughideal candidate to make the race for and more fresh air in house, shop and schoolroom. BOSTON PREPARES FOR EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION.

Political League Aug. 28-30th. A committee on hospitality, a committee of ladies, is being formed with Mrs. J. G. Street as chairman, so the delegates will be well taken care of. The Colored pastors are generously arranging for the visiting clergy to preach on the Sunday previous, Aug. 27, "Race Rights Sunday," a day to be set apart for prayer in behalf of our oppressed people of the South and in appeal to Almighty God to stop the awful human carnage.

This will be the grandest event of its kind the Colored people of Boston ever held. On Wednesday night a great freedom mass meeting in Faneuil Hall will close the convention. The greatest orators of the race will speak. Much time will be devoted to the business and work of the league. Every morning session will be executive and possibly the afternoon. Thus delegates from a distance will have a full chance for conference. In fact, the convention will be a great national conference as to what the race best do as to the terrible discrimination practiced against it. At the same time several fine pleasure trips have been arranged and will be sandwiched in, including trips to see the abolition landmarks and a sail down the harbor and other features, with a splendid time arranged at the close of the convention.

THE SELECTIONS BY THE EIGHTH REGIMENT BAND UNDER THE DIRECTION OF WILLIAM E. BERRY WERE HIGHLY CLASSICAL AND VERY PLEASING. The grand memorial exercises and entertainment held at the Pekin Theater, Sunday evening in honor of the memory of the late Robert T. Motts, was more than an event long to be remembered. every dollar which has gone into it and its fine furnishings come straight out of the pockets of the Colored people and that they are still heartily assisting its owners to free it from debt and to swell their large bank account. The Theater was reasonably well filled quite a number of his white friends being present and fully entering into the spirit of the exercises of the evening along with his friends and well wishers among the Afro-American race and be it said to their credit that many of the best class of Afro-American men and women in this city were in evidence in the boxes and in the main body of the house. The program as rendered was in every way highly edifying and it has never been excelled on any occasion in this city. Hon. Edward D. Green, Major Robert R. Jackson, and Mr. A. H. Roberts, delivered notable, brilliant and sensible orations and they paid glowing tributes to the memory of Robert T. Motts, in the course of his remarks Mr. Roberts, struck the keynote to the whole situation confronting the Negro from a business point of view, he declared that many Colored people, have been for sometime past exclaiming that "the Pekin Theater is not as fine nor up-to-date like unto the new Grand Theater," he very forcibly called their attention to the undisputed fact that Robert T. Motts, invested a good many thousand dollars or his own money in the Pekin Theater before he finally threw its doors open to the public in 1904, that the money did not come out of the pockets of the masses of Colored people. While on the other hand the owners of the Grand Theater, did not have two thousand dollars invested in the business until after the erection of the new building that almost Brooklyn. Chairman of the Citizens Committee T. P. Taylor presided. Mr. Wm. D. Johnson offered prayer, Mr. C. P. Russell and Dr. E. I.

Its managing committee at its last meeting voted in favor of permitting the writer to become an honorary member of its Association. W. D. Neighbors, successful real estate dealer, 3517 State street, and one of Prof. Booker T.

TABLE, BRILLIANT AND SENSIBLE COMPLETELY CAPTIVATED THE OLIN SOLOS. TH REGIMENT BAND UNDER THE BERRY WERE HIGHLY CLASSICAL every dollar which has gone into it and its fine furnishings come straight out of the pockets of the Colored people and that they are still heartily assisting its owners to free it from debt and to swell their large bank account. The idea he endeavored to convey was that if the Colored people would have rendered the same kind of unstinted support to one of their own kind in the theater business, that they have to white men in the same line of business on the south side among the Colored people, that the old Pekin would have been torn down long ago and a new building would have been constructed in its place consisting of stone and white marble, which would have been an honor and a great credit to the Colored population of Chicago. Little Miss St. Clair White, who has a very bright future before her in the musical world, completely captivated the audience with two violin solos. The selections by the Eighth Regiment Band, under the direction of Sergt. William E. Berry, were highly classical and very pleasing. Miss Fannie Wise, Mrs. Ada Banks-Davis, Prof. Edward F. Morris and his Operetta Club, and Richard B. Harrison rendered their several parts to perfection. Henry Jones, President of the Robert T. Motts, Memorial Association and William R. Cowan delivered short and interesting talks. Samuel Corker, Jr., made an ideal chairman and displayed rare culture and refinement in introducing those who took part in the program. A splendid life like picture of Robert T. Motts, was flashed upon the curtain, which caused an expression of sadness to pass over the faces of those who had assembled within the walls of the Pekin, to do honor unto his memory. DIAMOND DUST.

SUCCESS OF STATE SCHOOL First Year at Maryland Normal Gratifying to Principal Goodloe. 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 trimming 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 toilers 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 ipse 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. He was in the session of 1880-S1, which elected Benjamin Harrison to the United States senate and in which sat James Sidney Hinton, the first colored man to serve as a lawmaker in the Hoosier State. Newspaper Men to Meet In Little Rock. It is hoped that editors throughout the country will so arrange their business as to be able to attend the next annual meeting of the National Negro Press association to be held in Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 15.

Phone Aldine 2532 Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things—viz, 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. Pe'haps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the originator of a certain style of advertising. 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 twice as many persons. PROFESSOR PAGE RETAINED. Continued as Head of University by Oklahoma State Educators. The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by respo- pointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma Uni- versity For Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is loca- ted in Langston, Okla., and has under the efficient management of Presi- dent 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 in- dustrial education and is thus well quali- tified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifica- tions call for. Because of the satis- factory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown (Va.) exposition a few years ago. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Public Exercises Held In Many Sections For Great Race 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 sentiment 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 Faneuil hall, arranged for and carried out successfully by Afro-American women in Boston. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Women's Anti-lynching society, and her coworkers were prime movers of the celebration in which many distinguished persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph G. Manning of Alabama, Mr. Frank Sankorn, Professor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mrs. Agnes Adams, Miss Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Boston Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Harrison published the Liberator, was the Mecca and headquarters of a constant throng of visitors throughout the centenary festivities. Mr. Manning in the exordium of his great speech said: "It makes the hearts of colored people ache 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 "In the north today you stand idly by and see the principles for which your fathers gave their lives in the civil war being swept away." Alumni Association Organized. An alumni association has been organized by the graduates of the Clayton-Williams university, Baltimore. This school was founded by Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson and is doing a most excellent work. The officers of the association are Reva. W. W. Allen, president; C. C. Layne, vice president; Benjamin Thompson, secretary; George W. Carrington, treasurer, and David Bryant, chaplain. President Allen is one of the best known of the younger ministers in Baltimore and for a number of years has been pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church. New Book on Racial Emancipation. "Ethiopia Unbounded" is the title of a new book by Curley Hayford of the Gold Coast of Africa. The book contains about twenty chapters and dwells at length on studies in racial emancipation. 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. Joiner 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 legislature appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges had their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cent. The special appropriations amount to $91,220.00; 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 $137,720.80 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 repairs 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 years. Many 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 siated for an increase for next year. 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 lape. 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 joke.
