MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY BAPTIST IN EARNEST Intend to Make Pilgrimage to Washington Five Thousand Strong. Date has been Chosen. Says Small Committees have done Very Little Good. VOL. XVIII. BAPTIST EA Intend to Make Pilgrimage to Strong. Date has been Committee have done Tuesday, May 7, 1912, has been selected by the colored Baptist of the country to make their march to Washington, D. C., 5,000 strong with a view of demanding fair play for the Negroes of the United States. The colored Baptists are really in earnest in the movement, and making preparations for the pilgrimage, at which time President Taft and the members of Congress will be visited. The idea to march 5,000 Baptists to Washington in the interest of the Negro was born at the annual session of the New England Baptist Missionary convention, held last June at Providence, R. I., where a resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee of three to raise a subcommittee of 5,000. Since the convention in Providence the committee of three has been very active One of the strong advocates of the movement is the Rev. A. Mark Harris, pastor of the Union Street Baptist church, Jersey City, N. J., who made the following statement: Recent disgraceful happenings in these parts demonstrate conclusively that the Negro problem is no longer confined to the South. The burning of Zack Walker proves that in no place in all this broad land is the Negro safe when thugs and hoodlums go on the warpath. No one ever dreamed on thought of the possibility of such an act of savagery being committed in the old Quaker commonwealth of Pennsylvania, founded by William Penn on Brotherly Love. But it did happen, and on the Lord's Day. The quiet of that Holy Day was broken by the multitudious howl of a bloodthirsty crowd of demons, disguised in the form of human beings, led on to their ghastly work by some of the so called best white citizens of Coatesville, and unless we rise up and vigorously protest against the commission of these barbaric deeds, the time will come when the dying groans of a Negro will be heard coming from the flames of his funeral pyre, on the very spot where Crispus Attucks fell, and the fair name of Massachusetts will become a stench in the nostrils of men. Let no Negro idly say that there is no danger of a lynching taking place in New York or Boston. I will tell you that the only thing lacking is some one brave enough to lead the crowd, and the world will be startled with the news of a 'Negro burned in Broadway,' and another about 'Negro Lynched on Boston Commons.' Washington, the capitol of the nation, has tried to 'Jim Crow' the Negro; Baltimore has its 'Jim Crow' streets Deleware has lynched Negroes; Pennsylvania is stifled with the smoke of a recent burning; New Jersey joined the ranks some years ago, when a minister preached a sermon which resulted in the lynching of a Negro; New York City has for years refused to serve colored men in certain places, and the wave sweeps on like the rushing of a mighty wave, leaving the dead and wounded in its wake. Will we bare, our backs to the lash forever, and view in silence the murdering of our people? We answer. No. We shall go to Washington five thousand strong and memorialize the President, the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives in defense of our rights. We shall demand the abolishing of the 'Jim Crow' car law is respect to interstate passengers, and ask Congressmen to use their influence in their several states to abolish the segregation laws. We shall further demand that Congress abolish disfranchisement in the South by taking charge of the Federal elections, and fix the qualifications of the electors of such elections that Congress enact a law giving the Federal courts jurisdiction in all cases of lynching and mob violence on the ground that the state permitting such lawlessness is without a Republican form of government and is in a state of anarchy. If the men whom we have sent to the Senate and to Congress fail to do their full duty in bringing about these reforms, we shall meet them at the polls and defeat them. Every race under the sun can get a hearing at Washington and have their demands granted but the Negro race. We have sent committees of ten, of twenty, of thirty and of fifty, but they have been looked upon as self appointed leaders, and ere the door had closed behind them, their appeal had found its way to the waste basket, and nothing was done. But when DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 14 1911. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANIZING MERCER ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO five thousand of us shall march up to the White House, after holding a half hour prayer service in every church in the capitol city, there will be no question of leadership. The world will know that at last the race has decided to demand its rights, and will not take no for an answer. It is certain that no one who has red blood in their veins and a conscience will say that they are satisfied with the conditions in this country, of which we form no small part, and for which we have given our lives on the field of battle. There are those who contend that the white people of the South know best how to deal with the Negro, and that they are among his friends. If to be hung to a convenient limb and to be burned at the stake are acts of friendship, then may God deliver us from our friends. Although this movement had its birth in a Baptist convention it is by no means confined to the Baptists alone. Indeed, it is a race movement and we therefore call on every man and woman of the race to write at once to the Senator and Congressman of their district, telling them of the movement and request them to meet our delegation of five thousand at the gates of the capitol, on the morning of May 7 next, and head the line of march up to the White House. It is confidently expected that every pastor, regardless of denomination will at once get in touch with headquarters and arrange for meetings to be held in their church. We have secured the services of some of the best orators in the race, and their voices will be heard from now until the close of the campaign.—New York Age. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS.

The newspapers of our city that spring into existence just on the eve of a campaign are a fine instrument to work a few dollars out of the poor candidates and it also helps to boost ones self if we so desire to use it for that purpose.

SECRETARY MACVEAGH STANDS BY COLORED ARCHITECT The Hon. Ranklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, has demonstrated anew his belief in a "square deal" for all under his jurisdiction, and has shown that he is willing to go out of his way to assist worth colored men to rise to the full measure of their opportunities. He has indicated this in a concrete fashion by cancelling the recent order of the department separating from the office the supervising architect three colored draughtsmen, who are drawing generous salaries, ranging from $1,800 to $2,000 per annum, and rendering service of a gilt edged character.

Burlington, Vt., Oct. 10.—After killing two persons and fatally wounding a third in a fight from Fort Ethan Allen today, Matthew Carlisle, a trooper of the Tenth NO 5 cavalry U. S.

At the government printing office the leaders of the bricklayers union are working overtime to keep a colored man John Moore, from plying his trade on a wall attached to the great printery. They are holding meetings and denouncing Public Printer Donnelly because he is man enough to regard his oath to observe the law as sacred, even though it requires him to stand up for a Negro workman, in defiance of the labor union and its narrow selfishness. It is stated that Moore has passed the civil service examination as a bricklayer, and that his appointment came in regular form after certification by the commission. The union people do not want to work with him, and are indicating their willingness to call off the fight against Moore and the public printer, if the Negro is reduced to a laborer at $2.00 a day. As a skilled trade-worker he is now getting $5.20 a day. At this writing Public Printer Donnelly is "standing pat," and allowing the union magnates to do the worrying. It seems that the monarchs of the labor fraternity have overlooked one very important fact; namely, that the government printing office belongs not to a private organization of mondescrip individuals known as a labor union, but to all the people of the nation—union and non-union, black and white. No private cabal can supersede the regularly-appointed officer of the government in administering the duties of his office. The government printing office is or ought to be—an "open shop."

LET'S MAKE THIS YOUR OOD STORE AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Long, how long everybody knows, the pulpit among colored people in certain sections has been a very weak thing. The preachers have been, in the main, merely time servers, preaching to win applause on one side and to swell the "table" on the other. Especially in the south has this type of the minister flourished. Loud on Jesus in the records, he has been mighty soft on Jesus in the actual. Of right, the pulpit ought to be the standard of morality in our form of government. The preacher ought not to have any hesitancy in denouncing sin in high or low places. His rule of life should be the truth clear cut and clean under every condition and clime. All men in the sight of God should look alike to him. But, alas! we find no moral courage in the ministry today. The ministry is about as vacillating as any other class of men. We speak particularly of the preachers of our race for the reason we are not in a position to know about the white preacher. And our remarks of them are not general enough to cover the entire profession, but the great majority fall under our hammer of condemnation. The race and the church of God is suffering for a strong moral ministry with conviction and the courage to give expression to their views. The average negro preacher is about as much of a demagogue. No intellectual ideal. No convictions, no real Bible religion. The gospel they preach is uttered with a view of increasing the public collection. Another class of negro preachers which is a curse to the race, is the newspaper fiend. It is the hypocrite who shapes his sermon with a view of getting it in the press. Manly courage and unadulterated religion is left entirely out of the scope of the sermon, with view of conforming his remarks to suit the white press. Every opportunity this class of preachers have, they are in the daily newspaper office publishing a sermon they never uttered. Some expostulation on the immorality of the race, or condemnation of the negro crap shooters; as a rule these are the subjects this class of negro preachers discuss. You never hear of one of them denouncing the barbary of lynching, disfranchisement or any other public indignity heaped upon a patient and long suffering people. No, their one object is selfishness. Their one effort is to get some white man to say "he is a good nigger." The pulpit should rise above such cheap demogamy and without of fense to any man shell the woods with the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by the Bible.—New York Age. A prominent Baptist divine journeyed to Pittsburgh some months ago to attend some sort of an alliance, and from what we can learn he absorbed a great deal of practical information which he purposes to radiate among his fellow ministers. During all his previous ministerial life he had been using from one to two hours in delivering sermons just as hundreds of others have been doing. But in the great gathering that he attended he heard the greatest sermon of his life preached in less than forty minutes. He also met a gentleman who had traveled a thousand miles to make a three-minute speech, and that three-minute speech was worth one's going a thousand miles to hear. Now these things had a wonderful effect on our good brother. First, they forced him to think of that somewhat unfamiliar text which reads thus: "I have played the fool;" second, they caused him to embrace the resolution not to play the fool any more in the matter of long-winded sermons. From thenceforward he determined to deserve the title "reverend" instead of "neverend." Not only that, but he has put the brethren under his charge—he's a president or moderator or something of some association or convention—on notice that hereafter they must limit their sermons to thirty-five or forty minutes. This is a commendable reform—but not unmixed with danger. If all ministers were limited to forty minutes in which to deliver their sermons the great body of them would find their occupation gone forever. If a man has anything to say he can say it in thirty or forty minutes, while on the other hand if he has nothing to say he will need an hour or two in which to say it! However, here's hoping the suggested reform will become popular.—Dallas Express. Business is the life of a nation. Religion, education, art, science and literature must feed upon the surplus created by business. First of all things we must have bread and without it we cannot build churches, schoolhouses and promote institutions of learning. Business is the fount that makes all brooks flow and while there may be eddies and counter currents in the tide of a nation, the steady, powerful swoop of the stream must ever be onward toward the sea of progress. When a nation dissipates its energies in factional strife and neglects its material welfare, government becomes scarcely more than a casket from which the soul has fled and in time the people will cry for bread. Hunger is a rude but a very successful teacher and many people learn only when its rod is upon their backs. Texas Freeman. The Chicago Inter Ocean contained a very thoughtful and well-written sermon on the "History, Status and Possible Destiny of the American Negro." The sermon was very unique in many respects. In the first place it took the view that perhaps slavery was not as bad an institution as we have been taught to believe. But that it might have been a providential plan to introduce the African to western civilization and to prepare him through slavery and finally through freedom to partake and enjoy the highest and broadest social development. After disposing of the possible interpretations of American slavery, and having named Toussaint L'Overture, Alexander Dumas, Fred Douglass and Dr. Booker T. Washington, he urges the negro race to be proud of its members and to endeavor individually to achieve and actualize the high and worthy example of the world's famous leaders. Rev. J. M. Hurst gave a very interesting narration of the present status of the colored citizen by showing his progress in education and letters, going so far as to name the number of colleges and other graduates, the number of negroes attending European universities, the books published, the newspapers edited and the magazines controlled by the race. He called attention that they had acquired since freedom something over $900,000,000 in personal and real property; and these facts show that no negro should be discouraged because of prejudice and discrimination by many of the American people. Perhaps the most significant feature of this distinguished sermon was the possible disclosure of what might be termed the International Mission suggested by the presence of the negro in the midst of the American people. The author of the sermon was inclined to the view that it was the possible destiny of the American negro, who had attained the highest status in his race, to return after a time to Africa and bring the millions of the African race into possession of the intellectual, material and social wealth and power of western knowledge and culture. He paid a glowing tribute to the steadfast loyalty of the southern negro who had saved the southern people from the countless social and political problems which had been forced upon the other section of the country by wholesale and indiscriminate foreign immigration. This sermon speaks of the magnificent character of the speaker, breadth of view, and liberal culture of the minister, and an inspiration to the whole negro race. The brilliant Will Anderson of the Cincinnati Pilot is original; he is happily original, and whether we will or no, leads us at the other end of his string of delightful phrases. In the latest issue of his paper we find the following addition to the never-ending discussion of the "problem:" The problem of what we are going to do with the negro is largely academic. It is a good subject for debate, for magazine articles and political fan-fare, but as yet we have not gotten down to bedrock and agreed that as a problem he ought to be solved in the individual conscience. In all things concerning him we collectively treat him as something in the aggregate, when, as a matter of honesty every white man should treat each negro according as that negro stands for himself. The negro has no trait exceptionally apart from any other race in America, and as an individual is likely to reflect the influence of environment just as do the units of every other race. The method of measurement is all wrong and as a result the solution goes awry among a mass of misconceptions. One of these misconceptions is the idea that negroes should not be employed where they come in close contact with white women. The urgency of this appeal sometimes becomes so fierce as to take the sound of a shriek. But it is really irresistibly laughable when put to test. Social equality will come out of it some say. The negro will force his attentions where not wanted, exclaim others. But noting the aspect of the negro porters on the Pullman cars toward white women passengers aboard, where very frequently the porter is in sole charge, gives us something to muse over at length. If ever there were an occasion to try the weakness of men, it is in this employment. Still it has been the exception to hear of one of these men being reprimanded for inattention or over-attention to a female passenger. Anyone who has spent much time on a Pullman knows that for sights to be seen and others not to be mentioned, nothing excels this carriage for the dissipation of ennui. In dishabille, with and without lingerie, temptingly plump and contemptibly lean, with streaming hair and a alabaster bosoms, very few white women hesitate to display their charms to the busy porter. And be is said in his favor, the porter maintains his equoise when many a conductor has disgracefully lost his job because he could not keep his head. Both conductor and porter represent the average of American intelligence among the laboring classes. It's made right, and tastes right.

The President's cheerfulness, like Colorado sunshine, is calculated to make folks feel good, and when folks feel good they generally smile. Colorado needed President Taft's pleasing presence to help the people better appreciate the more lavish store of their natural advantages, and President Taft needed Colorado's newly awakened assurances that the possibilities of harmony and good fellowship have not been ingloriously frittered away and sacrificerd. Now if Colorado will continue to do as much for President Taft as President Taft has done and is steadily willing to do for Colorado, the benefit will be adequate and reciprocal. The President is an earnest and sincere man, and his heart beats warmly toward all the people. He would have the Republicans of Colorado adopt his conciliatory and harmonizing spirit, and put their faith in the principles he so earnestly advocates and defends. Conciliation and harmony are the watchwords of Republican regeneration, and a faithful application of established party principles to the vital questions of the tariff and representative government, comprises the program of activities to which he would have the people of Colorado devote themselves. A great and good work is embraced in that program, because Colorado Republicans have been neglecting the true principles a party organization and social advancement. Sour distrust and self-sacrificing dissensions have had free and inexcusable sway, but the example of a Taft, who bears approval and attack with equal equanimity, is the talisman with which we should regain our rightful place. Let the reciprocal smile live and do its work, and let Republicanism once more stand for the good of all the people, and Colorado will remain in touch with the cheerful leader whom the whole country, more and more, admires and trusts. CHRISTIANITY AND MOHAMMEDANISM. humanity's Ship of Passage across the Sea pass and anchor. It is the sole reason on to explain the mystery of the Great Voyage ship. Each separate division of men has of them have stood the voyage for ages. And trust the ships built by their fathers, be safely through generations and have never fou Religion is humanity's Ship of Passage across the Sea of Life. It is deck, sail, compass and anchor. It is the sole reason on which man confidently relies to explain the mystery of the Great Voyage. But there are more than one ship. Each separate division of men has built its own ship and some of them have stood the voyage for ages. And these divisions of men love and trust the ships built by their fathers, because they have carried them safely through generations and have never foundered. But all of these ships of passage, though designed for the same purpose, are not built alike. One is trim, sleek, powerful and speedy; another is massive, bulky and slow of progress. So the swifter ship speaks to the slower and says: "Come with us, for we sail fast and see more of the fulness of the earth and the greatness of life." And the slower ship replies: "No! Come with us if you will, for our voyage is calm and serene and full of beautiful contemplation of all things that pass." Then the swifter ship says: "We will sail about you and dazzle you with our superior power, and then if you will not come with us willingly, we shall take you in tow. We do not want your ship—It is unworthy, but we want the wealth in your hold and we seek to save the souls of your passengers. For this our guns shall menace you and our might debase you, until you abandon your hulk and come aboard. Let those who remain sink and perish with the wreck. Ours is the only safe ship and we sail the only true course." The name of this fast sailing vessel is "Christianity," and the serene, slow-plodding one is called "Islam," the Mohammedan. Christianity was not designed for armed conquest, but her crew, blinded with power and the love of material gain, has long since abandoned her chart. Many peoples yet give their allegiance to Islam. Nay, more; they are declaring aloud that for their millions, Islam is the true example, and for the world the way of truth and light. The Sultan of Turkey is their chosen representative, and Arabia, Egypt and all North Africa swarm with his adherents, who pay him faithful and changeless homage. Their religion is their greatest social and economic force, but political exploitation and conquest are not supreme tenets of their faith. And around these vast, devout but non-aggressive myriads of moslem adherents, the militant usurpers of Christian ethics are casting their brilliant lights in the false name of progress, despoiling and attaching their lands and taking over the control of their governments. Abandoning true Christian ideals and mandates, nevertheless even great prelates so far sanction the mad lust for increased power as to bless the mission of the Godless conquerers. The latest example of this program of exploitation is the conquest of Tripoli by the Italians. It is done in the name of civilization and Christian progress. It means more than the sincere, way-faring Christian stops to realize. It challenges a conflict of religions and to all Moslems must appear an arrogant and unjust attempt to annihilate their faith. There seems to be small wisdom in this hypocritical course of Christian advancement. The world may not know what sullen passions may be crystalizing in the hearts of those who are numerically greater than all Christendom. For the time being, they may suffer patiently, but if human nature does not assert itself through the revolt of present generations, there is yet danger for the future; for out of the foundation of Christianity itself comes the inevitable law: "Behold, the meek shall inherit the earth."

As we go to press news has been received of the death of Miss Arizona Hughes, niece of Mr. Lou Hughes and cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Will Kinchloa. On behalf of the members of this church, the pastor extends heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family who are substantial members of the People's. The Guild had a splendid program last Tuesday night. After the routine work Mrs. Stella Maddox read a very instructive paper setting forth the appeal of Rev. D. Abeel for constructive work in Foreign Missions. Mrs. Clara Davis, an active member of the Missionary society and Miss G. Striplin, her daughter, both of whom were visitors, helpfully discussed the paper. Miss Fannie Edmonds, a graduate of one of our leading schools, was the hostess for the Guild. A healthy repast was quite an appetizer to the aftermath of the meeting. The Guild is under obligations to Miss Edmonds for her treat. The Woman's Missionary society had their sessions in the Chapel Friday night, ample arrangements were made for their missionary concert the first Sunday night in November. Monday night promptly at 8:15 o'clock Mme Brown of Chicago, the Nightingale of the race, will sing in Recital Extraordinary at the People's church. Here is a coveted opportunity for lovers of the race to show their appreciation of this rising lady by their presence. The support of Denver public in the past is a pointer that you will be with us on this occasion. We therefore thank you in advance for your spirit of co-operation. The Guild will seve chicken sandwiches, coffee, cream, etc., at the close. The Mme. leaves Tuesday morning for Colorado Springs: The Rev. Thos. Hazell, S. T. B. leaves next Tuesday to attend the Synod of Colorado in session at the First Presbyterian church of Greeley. There will be an adjourned meeting of the Presbytery of Denver in connection with the Synod. Matters pertaining to the Union Presbyterian church of Westminister will be considered. The Pastor will return to occupy his pulpit the following Sunday. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. 26th and Clarkson Streets. The Rev. Dr. R. A. Randolph delivered one of his best messages last Sunday evening to a large congregation. Thanks. The John Stewart celebration and rally will take place Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The program will be made up entirely with local church talent. The following will appear on the program: W. S. Evans, Anna B. Dawson, Ada Castry, Misses Lela Rice and Irma Anthony. Mrs. Florstein Dooley will sing a solo, title, "John Stewart, Colored Missionary." The pastor will make a short address on the Life and Work of John Stewart. You are cordially invited to enjoy this spicy program. The Quarterly Conference was largely attended. The reports showed progress along all lines. The full assessment of the district superintendent was raised with a few dollars to apply on the Steward's account. The officers and members have the sincere thanks of an appreciative pastor and superintendent. Rev. Thomas-Hazell preached a strong sermon Sunday afternoon to a very appreciative audience. The Ladies' Aid bazaar and Thankgiving dinner is being planned. Mesdames Burrell and Pash have been selected as the chairmans of the dinner committee. Masters Henry Burrell and Wendell Wallace celebrated their third birthday party at the residence of Mrs. Louise Burrell last Friday afternoon. The following little fellows attended: Goldie McPherson, Annie L. Collier, Thomas W. Wallace, Clarence J. Collier, Marie Brown. It was an enjoyable affair, and the little fellows went home wishing that a birthday party could be given every day. Mrs. Emma Anderson entertained the members of the Junior League Sunday afternoon. Four babies were baptised last Sunday morning. They were: Masters C. J. Collier, LeRoy Wallace, Misses Sepha Dooley and Marie Brown. Mr. Lovett Clopton, who recently confessed a hope in Christ, was baptised. Mrs. Emma Anderson made the church a present of the baptised fount. Recent additions to the church are: Mrs. Cora Charleston, Mrs. Ella Carter, Miss Mildred House, Mrs. Scott and Mr. Lovett Clopton. The membership of Scotts is growing very rapidly. The pastor will preach the last of the series of sermons on the book of the Acts of the Apostles next Sunday morning. The subject will be: "Visions and Obedience." These sermons have proved to be very interesting and highly enjoyable. Mrs. Ella Carter is very ill at her home on Twenty-Six avenue. We wish her a speedy recovery. Too Valuable a Household Adjunct to Be Discarded Because of Possible Danger. A can of gasoline in the kitchen for cleaning purposes will be found a great help if ordinary care is exercised against fire. To clean the gas stove, soak the jets in a little gasoline, and it will remove all dirt and do away with any odor from the gas range, or scrub the jets with a little brush dipped in gasoline. To clean copper or aluminum cooking utensils soak a cloth in gasoline and rub on the outside of the vessel; this will remove all black or discoloration on the metal. For grease marks or dirty spots on woodwork, a little gasoline applied with a cloth will remove at once. If the drain in the sink becomes stopped up, remove all water from sink and pour in a pint or more gasoline and let it stand; this will cut the cause of stoppage in a little while. Before blacking a stove or range, rub off the top with a cloth wet with gasoline and it will remove all dirt and grease and make the blacking stay on longer. Laces, gloves and silks can be cleaned very successfully by washing in plenty of clean gasoline; there should be enough to cover the article you are washing. Change the gasoline as often as it becomes dark lookink; work quickly and hang in the sun to dry. Always remember when using gasoline to keep away from fire or flame of any kind. BUTTERMILK SAUCE THE BEST Adds to Flavor of Pudding in Far Greater Degree Than When Sweet Milk Is Used. Buttermilk sauce for puddings or any dessert which lacks an acid, is far superior to sauce in which sweet milk is used. A delicious sauce is made of a cupful of boiling water and one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of good buttermilk and butter the size of an egg. The same rule applies to custard with lemon flavoring. This is a good way to clean buff or cream-colored window shades: Begin by taking off any trimmings there may be, washing them in hot soapy water, then rinsing them in borax water and pressing them on the wrong side. Next bake some flour in a dish in the oven; lay the blind flat on a table, dust it with a clean cloth then dip a piece of flannel in the flour and rub the blind evenly with it. Take fresh flour and flannel when soiled. Polish the blind with a clean, soft cloth, sew on the trimmings again and replace it in the window. Brown Kidney Stew. From a beef kidney cut off the outside meat in bits, rejecting tubes and purplish cores. Cover with cold water, heat slowly till steaming, drain, add cold water and heat a second time, and again a third time. To the drained kidneys add one cup brown sauce, season very highly with table sauce and catup and stand over hot water ten minutes. Brown sauce to be used for kidneys. In saucepan brown one tablespoon butter until dark, but not burned; add one tablespoon flour; stir and brown again. Add gradually one cup stock (beef is best) or hot water and stir until smooth and thick. Season with salt and pepper and smother five minutes and pour over the kidney stew. Fried Chicken. Cut one or two small chickens in half and dredge with flour. Heat some lard until smoking hot, then lay in the chicken. After the first few minutes cook slowly, turning so it can brown on all sides. When done take up and place on a platter, pour off all the lard excepting one tablespoonful, place this over the five again and add a heaping tablespoonful of flour, stir until it is brown, then add slowly one cup of milk, some butter, pepper, and salt, and let cook five minutes; pour over the chicken and serve immediately. Ginger Pears. Peel, core, and cut in very thin slices. For eight pounds of sliced fruit, put into the kettle the juice of five lemons, one cup water, seven pounds sugar, one-half pound ginger root cut and scraped in thin slices. Let sugar dissolve before adding fruit. Cut peel of lemon in long, thin slices. Let fruit and lemon cook slowly for an hour, uncover, and put in jars. Oil Pickles. Slice, without peeling, medium-sized cucumbers to fill a gallon jar. Sprinkle between the well packed layers two-thirds of a cupful of salt and let stand three hours. Drain carefully and pack with an ounce of celery seed, two ounces of white mustard seed, and two onions chopped fine, equally distributed through the layers. Add a cup of good oil oil as you go and cover with good cold vinegar. Grape Catsup. Five pounds of ripe grapes picked from the stems, three pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar; one tablespoonful each of cinnamon, pepper and cloves, one-half teaspoon of salt. Boll the grapes and strain to remove seeds and skins. Add the other ingredients and boll until thick. To powder doughnuts, put half cup of pulverized sugar in paper sand, half a dozen doughnuts at a time, shake carefully. A. E. CURTIS M. HARRIS, CIRCLE D.

A. Thomas Hazell delivered a most excellent and forceful address on the subject of "The Negro's Contribution to Civilization." It was the essay which the Reverend read at the First InterRaces Congress, held in London, England, in July. In the London meeting only twenty minutes could be given to the address, but in the meeting of the Alliance more time could be given and the Rev. Thomas-Hazell availed himself of the freedom to the benefit of his hearers. He was introduced to the audience by Rev. Wallace of Scott M. E. church and the Alliance and its friends enjoyed the literary treat of the season. At the close of the address it was voted that the address become a part of the series of papers on Historical research now under preparation for the good of the people, through the Alliance. The items of interest were the report of the Harris cases and the announcement of the beginning of the series of papers of Historical research on Oct. 29th. The plan as announced sometime since is to have six essays on the general topic of "The Negro in the Light of History." For weeks and even months some of the essayists have been consulting library references and other available printed matter on this general subject under six different heads and they will, no doubt, bring out matters that will interest and encourage the young and plant the old deeper in the faith that the race is a part of God's creation. Detailed announcements will be made preceding each appearance which will occur on the last Sunday of the following months, October, November and December, 1911 and January, February and March, 1912. Able essayists, conscientious study, facts and authorities, are prime objects of the entire series DON'T MISS HEARING ALL OF DON'T MISS HEARING ALL OF THEM.

Colo NATIONAL CAPITAL ATTAIRS Romance in Various Indemnity Claims Romance in Various Indemnity Claims FEDERAL PIGEON HOLES I'VE FOUND ENOUGH MATERIAL TO WRITE A DOZEN NOVELS WASHINGTON.—Lovers of adventure and makers of romance have overlooked one of the richest of mines of imagination and fact that is stranger than fiction—the federal pigeonholes and dossiers in which the pathetic appeals of the eternal claimant are embalmed in red tape and buried for the curiosity of the future. Mark Twain's story of the interior of John Wilson McKinzie's claim for 60 barrels of beef contracted to be furnished to Sherman's army, which provisions decayed while the contractor was trying to catch up with Sherman on his famous "march to the sea," is no exaggeration of the stuff of which humor or romance are made to be found in the archives of Uncle Sam at Washington. Thousands of claims are on file in the archives of the United States government. The famous French spoliation claims, growing out of the destruction or capture of American merchant craft plving between the Ameri- Population Gains Faster Than Farms CENSUS Director Durand has given out an important statement from the bureau of census containing additional figures and details of the agricultural statistics of continental United States collected April 15, 1910. During the ten years which followed the census of 1900 the population of the United States increased 21 per cent., but the number of farms did not keep pace with the increase in population. From 5,737,372, in 1900, the number grew to 6,340,357, an increase of 602,985, or 10.5 per cent. For the whole United States this is the lowest rate of increase which has been noted since the number of farms was first recorded in 1850. The increase in the total acreage devoted to agriculture was only 35,137,000 acres, or 4.2 per cent. The actual area in farms was 838,592,000 acres in 1900 and 873,729,000 acres in 1910. Improved land, however, increased more rapidly than the total farm acreage or number of farms, the advance being from 414,499,000 acres in 1800 to 477,448,000 acres in 1910, a gain of 62,940,000 acres, or 15.2 per cent., in ten years. In striking contrast with the slow growth in the number and acreage of farms and the area of improved land during the ten years is the enormous rise which has come about in the value Resignation of Officers Army Menace Resignation of Officers Army Menace THERE IS MY RESIGNATION IVE FOUND A BETTER JOB THE navy department recently has been particularly unfortunate in the resignations of young officers who have just finished their education at West Point or Annapolis at government expense. In the last few weeks eight or ten midshipmen and ensigns have presented their resignations with reasons sufficient to cause the department to accept them. Both the war and navy departments are periodically confronted with this question. The withdrawal of young officers from the service before they have given the government some return for their education is discouraged by both departments. A resignation is accepted only when it is believed there exists an impediment to the profitable retention of the young man. The navy suffers more than the army as to the --- Watch Smugglers in the Philippines THE manner in which the Moros carry on smuggling in the southern seas is systematic, according to information given to a Washington correspondent by Captain Geddes of the customs cutter, Skua. He states that the Moros have an unusually high tree on the Tawl Tawl group, from which they can see the const of Borneo and also see the smoke of his cutter when miles away from the spot. "When everything is clear the smugglers make a dive for the little group of islands that dot the sea between there and Zamboanga, and almost always escape me even when I can sight them," says the captain, "as they know that my boat in the best of weather can only make seven knots, and with the tide against me in fine weather only two knots. "There is at least $500,000 worth of textiles being smuggled from Borneo into the southern islands every year that with a good, fast boat I am sure could be almost all stopped. If it were not for my one-pounder on the foredeck I'd never land anything. As it is when we make a haul it is most al- can coast, Holland and the Indies have been bandied about Washington, from capitol to White House to court of claims and back, for more than a century, but never paid in full. Of all the claims in American history these are the most associated with great events and great sacrifices. These spoliations occurred during the trouble between this country and France at the close of the eighteenth century. There was no declared war between the two countries, but almost a state of war. There were two frigate actions, in which the American frigate under Truxon won both fights, but never a declaration of war. The whole number of American merchant vessels despolled by France was 2,290. The original estimate of their value was $20,000,000. Some $7,000,000 has been paid, but this is all. France was liable for these losses. There are in this batch of British American pecuniary claims some that are based on grants of lands to Indians by the British government in colonial days. These are only some of the stories of adventure, great fortunes made and lost, captivity, deprivation and suffering, even or humor, figuring the story of the claimant laying his appeal before Uncle Sam at Washington. WE'RE GROWIN' AT A PRETTY GOOD RATE - EH? of farm property. Farm land, exclusive of buildings, which was valued at $13,058,008,000 in 1900, had more than doubled before 1910, being then returned as having a value of $28,386,770,000. The enormous increase here recorded of $15,328,762,000 represents an advance of 117.4 per cent. in the value of all land in farms. Of the factors contributing to this increase in the average value of land the most important is doubtless that of advancing farm prices of agricultural products. This has increased the income-producing power of the farm and correspondingly influenced the selling price or value of farm land. It is probable also that in calculating the value of farm lands it has become customary to capitalize the income-producing power at a lower rate of interest than formerly. This might be true, despite the fact that interest rates in general have probably not fallen, because of the reduction in the risk of the farming business. number of reasons which disqualify an officer, one especial disqualification being susceptibility to seasickness, which necessitates resignation of many young men. During the last year, it is said at the war department, very few cadets or second lieutenants have presented their resignations. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, has refused to permit a lieutenant of the cavalry to get out of the army to engage in civil pursuits because he was about to be married. He, however, granted the young man a three months' leave of absence for his honeymoon. The lottery is a profitable scheme in Cuba and the returns to the war department show that last year the Cuban government received from this source $3,300,000 profit, which represents ten per cent. of the entire annual receipts from all sources. But despite the revenue the Cuban government is seriously contemplating gradual abolition of the lottery in view of the enormous weight of evidence to show that it is impoverishing the laboring classes and creating great distress generally. ways Chinese, as they can dump all their merchandise and drugs into the ocean before we can each them. Chinese? Oh, yes, lots of them. On an average at least 300 are captured and deported every year." Captain Geddus has been skipper of the cutter Skua for the last eight years, three of which have been at Jolo and two at Palawan. During all this service he has often made as high as 2,500 miles a month cruising and has assisted in several good captures. He recommends a fast cutter and two motor boats as a great improvement over the present equipment, and states that with these the Borneo coast could be patrolled so thoroughly that smuggling would almost become a thing of the past. GIVES VARIETY IN DESSERT Almost Numberless Are the Possibilities When a Freezer Is Article of General Use. Now that freezers are to be had at a price so reasonable that every one can afford to have one, no family should be without one, as the height of dessert excellence is reached in many frozen sweets impossible to procure in any but the largest city confectioneries. In fact, in most communities and in the rural districts it is even impossible to get a simple ice, the only thing available being ice cream, in perhaps vanilla and chocolate flavors. With a freezer at home a variety of creams as well as ices, frappes, etc., is possible, and one has the satisfaction of feeling that the best and cleanest materials go into them and they have a delicious "homey" flavor impossible to procure in creams or ice procured at the stores. Listed below are a number of tested recipes, and also hints to to the cream used in ice creams, and method of making the cream. If you want the rich, full-bodied delicacy known as Philadelphia ice cream, scald half the cream used. This portion of the cream will increase slightly in quantity when freezing, while the raw cream will almost double its bulk. Ice cream made from scalded cream is too rich for most tastes and unnecessarily costly, while, on the other hand, ice cream made from all raw cream is neither so smooth nor so rich as when half scalded cream is used. For freezing ice cream the ice should be smaller than walnuts and mixed with rock salt, two portions ice to one of salt. After cream it is frozen it can be kept hard by covering with larger pieces of ice over top of can, using half as much salt as when freezing cream. Be sure to keep waste hole in tub open during this time. Too large ice or too little salt while freezing means extra labor and butter, greasy cream, and too much salt makes coarse, watery cream. Water ice or frozen fruit will not freeze so readily as ice cream, therefore use larger proportion of ice and finer ice. Fresh fruits for flavoring should be mashed or cut fine a few hours before using and mixed with sufficient sugar to sweeten and draw out the flavor. All fruit flavors should be added to cream when partially frozen, to avoid any chance of curdling. Chaudfroid of Salmon Use for this one can of salmon or an equaf amount of cold boiled fish. Flake, removing skin and bones. Mix in a bowl a teaspoonful of flour, a teaspoonful each of mustard and salt, a few grains of cayenne, one egg lightly beaten, a tablespoonful and a half melted butter, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and three-fourths of a cup of rich milk. Cook over hot water until the mixture thickens like a soft custard. Stir constantly at first and keep close watch to take from the fire as soon as thickened. Overcooking curdles. Add a tablespoonful of gelatin that has been softened in two tablespoonfuls of cold water, then dissolve over the teakettle. Add to the fish mixture and turn into one large mold or individual ones. When ready to serve turn out and garnish with lettuce, sliced cucumbers or pimentos as preferred. Serve with mayonnaise, French dressing or cucumber sauce. Mutton and Eggs. Put cooked mutton, free from sinew or fat, through the chopping machine. Mix with it pepper, salt, one tablespoonful of butter and one cupful of stock, put it on the fire in a saucepan to warm well, but not to boil. Have some very hot, well seasoned mashed potatoes ready, free from all lumps, and mixed with three tablespoonfuls of hot milk. Make a wall of these round the dish on which you are going to put your mutton. Poach three or four eggs, taking care they do not break. Put the mutton inside the potato wall and place the eggs neatly on the top of the mutton. Serve hot. This is a delightful change from ordinary mince. Table Economies. There is one little suggestion to make to the housekeeper. Never buy fruits, vegetables or meats that are out of season. This simple rule followed out carefully will keep down the expenses greatly. It is such a temptation to buy the first box of strawberries to be seen in the market, the first shad, the first asparagus, tomatoes done up in tissue paper that peep out so alluringly! Those same dainties later on will be had almost for the asking. Therefore form the habit of resisting all table delicacies that are out of season, and buy instead only those that are. You will save many dollars as the year runs on. Bran for Matting. Instead of salt water some housewives use bran for cleaning matting. A bag of cheesecloth is filled with bran; this is moistened from time to time and the matting scrubbed with it. After the bran wash the matting is wiped off with a fresh cloth dipped in salt water. A Garden Hint To keep the bugs and insects which infest your trees from killing the blossoms or leaves, wrap a piece of cotton around the center of the body, and cover the cotton with a piece of fly paper. This is invaluable. Try it. Use sticky side out. To Clean Screens To clean wire screens, dampen cotton cloth with kerosene, rub both sides; they look like new; also help to keep files away SUGAR PRICE TO KEEP SOARING SUGAR PRICE TO KEEP SOARING CUBAN CROP IS 400,000 TONS SHORT—OTHER COUNTRIES BELOW NORMAL. 6,500,000 TONS USED DUTY LAST YEAR ON IMPORTED SUGAR AMOUNTED TO $53,039,304. Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York.—Before the sub-committee of the congressional committee, which has been investigating the operations of the sugar trusts interesting testimony will be given in the near future by experts who have been studying the conditions in this country and Europe. It will be the most important testimony the committee has heard. The sub-committee will be informed that the price of sugar is certain to go higher. Verified statements showing that the Cuban sugar crop this year has failed, that the output in other countries is below normal, and that the jump in prices can be traced directly to a group in Europe, will be laid before the congressmen. The United States, it will be shown, consumes each year 6,500,000 tons of sugar. A small part of this is manufactured into confections and is shipped abroad, but most of it is used by this country. Of this huge amount, only about 500,000 tons is produced in the United States. Last year $53,039,304 was paid in duty on imported sugar, which does not include what comes free from Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. This tax of more than 50 cents each person in the United States must pay for the sugar he uses. Cuba produces annually 1,900,000 tons of sugar. This year the crop will be 400,000 tons short. All of this is shipped to the United States, but even that with what is produced here and what comes from the outlying possessions makes less than half of what is needed. How a group of men in Europe fixes the price of sugar, and how this group ignores the sugar industry in the United States, will be shown. The men composing this group meet each month in Brussels and fix the prices for the next thirty days. They come from Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy, which are called in sugar circles "convention countries." Buyers must go to them for sugar, especially Holland, which sends many shiploads from Java, one of her dependencies. To Cuba the United States gives a favored tariff, and all her sugar comes here, but much more is needed, and that must be bought from the "convention countries" at the prices fixed by the Brussels convention. It will also be shown that sugar produced in Louisiana is less than is needed for the actual consumption in that state. The same condition obtains in Texas, where only half of the sugar needed is home grown. It will be shown that the trust has more than $350,000 worth of bone charcoal at its Williamsburg plant for whitening sugar in the refining process, and that lack of cane sugar prevents it from using it. The experts will argue that the beet sugar industry in the United States should be fostered. It will be proposed to utilize a dream of a Florida man and drain the Everglades, converting them into huge sugar plantations as the most effective weapon with which to tight the men who control the price of sugar in the world.

T. Kealing Gives Valuable Advice in Forceful Address. CRITICAL PERIOD OF RACE SAILING UPON TROUBLESOME WATERS IN UPWARD STRUGGLE—ILLUSTRATION ON RACE CO-OPERATION. Little Rock, Ark.—One of the most forceful and enjoyable addresses heard at the recent National Negro Business league convention was delivered by Prof. H. T. Kealing, principal of Western university, Quindaro, Kan. Professor Kealing was heartily applauded when he said: "What the negro needs, in a constant increasing degree, is the help of his own kind. I don't care how much inspiration comes to us from other sources. Self-help, self-reliance and strength must come to us from seeing what our own people are doing and what they can do." Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: There is one thing that is not debated from this platform (except by Bishop Cottrell, who has just preceded me) and that is eloquence. Aside from the excellent and practical speeches which have been delivered to this convention by some of our race's best business men, successful bankers, prosperous farmers, capable editors and the like, you have just had a liberal dose of eloquence administered by our learned bishop, and I shall make no effort to follow in his oratorial footsteps, even if I could. I merely want to tell you, as briefly as I can what this Business league means to me, or what I think it means to the race, and what I think it means to the nation. It has, first of all, discovered us to ourselves. For fourteen years I traveled all over the United States, surprising myself at every little town and hamlet by finding unheard of negroes who were successful in business and who were noted, in their respective communities, for their wealth, their enterprise, their public spirit and sterling character. Influence of the National Negro Busi- ness League When the National Negro Business league came into existence twelve years ago in the city of Boston, for the first time it brought together from the farm and plantation, from the carpenter's bench and workshop, from the store, the counting house and manufactory a number of successful members of our race for mutual help and inspiration, where they might give and get a great schooling in racial progress, where they might let each other know what progress of various kinds was being made by negroes in their several communities, and where, in this way, each delegate could go back home and let all know what the whole race was achieving. In this way great good has been accomplished, for the negro is beginning to find himself out, is beginning to know himself better, and to have more confidence in himself as well as more respect for his race. Secondly, I want to say, this league has stimulated business enterprises that were already established, and created new business enterprises among members of our race that never would have come into existence but for the direct or indirect influence of this league. Thirdly, it has stimulated the inventive genius of the negro, so that you have upon this platform today the model of a cotton-chopping machine (invented by L. D. Moore of Little Rock), which will scrape both sides of the row, chop it out and dirt it all at the same time, thus evidencing the activity of the negro's brain and vindicating the wise policy of this great association and its worthy founder, who says: "Put your brains to work as well as your hands," and so we have at this convention a negro cotton-chopper, scraper and dirter to make an eloquent speech to you, the design of which is to save so much cotton chopping by our women of the south. On the plantations, in the homes, on the streets and railroads, and in the mines and factories of the southland we see abundant use and employment of the negro's brawn and muscle, but I tell you, gentlemen, whenever the negro reaches that stage of development that he puts his brain to work as well as his hands, there is no power on earth that can pull him down. A man passing through the country came upon a negro who was bareheaded and busily engaged on a rock pile—breaking rock for a living under a hot sun. "My friend," said the traveler, "aren't you afraid you will get brain fever working there on that rock pile, bareheaded, beneath the burning sun?" With his face all wet with perspiration, and a characteristic smile upon his countenance, the black man looked up and quickly replied: "Brain fever, boss? Do you suppose if I had any brains I would be working at this here job?" Now, my friends, what the negro wants to do is to learn, through this league, and through the lesson that is being so effectively taught by its president and founder, to put more brains into whatever he is doing, to put more brains into his farm work, more brains into his business, more brains into his home life, in order that he may draw therefrom the full measure and benefit of useful living And then again, this league is showing the negro how he can take ad- vantage of the opportunities that lie at his door. It is constantly illustrating to him in a concrete way how to use his humble circumstances as a stepping stone to rise above and better his condition. There's a way out of every difficulty, there's a way over every obstacle, if we are ingenious, watchful, industrious and patient enough to find the way. Just a few days ago I came to a river where they had an old-fashioned ferryboat. I noticed that whenever the captain wanted to cross the river to a point directly opposite on the other shore, he would always head his vessel upstream where, it would seem at first glance, he was going in a course that would lead him away from the place of his destination. That little incident taught me a valuable lesson, for I pretty soon found out that by heading his boat upstream he finally got the full benefit of the current and was really enabled the more easily to reach the wharf on the other side. Had he turned his boat at right angles, he would have drifted with the current and would surely have been carried far below the point which he desired. And so it is in our individual as well as our racial life—if we would cross the river and reach the goal we must head our vessels upstream and not be afraid of the current of difficulties. This National Negro Business league has not only justified its existence by revealing from year to year remarkable instances of self-help and business achievement, but if the negro race will only follow in the wake of its teaching, "it will take you where you're gwine"—as Doctor Washington so pleasingly puts it. Some time ago, while down at Galveston, I was invited to go out fishing in a sailboat. Being very fond of both fishing and sailing (though not proficient in either) I readily accepted the invitation. I had hardly stepped into the boat before the wind was right astern and we went speeding out on the gulf from Galveston. After a most pleasant and successful day's outing, we began to make the journey homeward. My friend in charge of the boat soon found out that we would have to sail into Galveston harbor against the wind. Just as soon as the sails were hoisted, instead of pointing his boat toward Galveston, he headed her in a different direction and I wondered how we would be able to reach Galveston by following that course. The wind was strong and the sails were full. The waters leaped and dashed in fiendish glee as if they were eager to capsize our frail barque, but the boatsman, not the least bit perturbed, cried out his orders to the crew, and every once in a while I would hear him say: "Luffer! Luffer!" Of course I did not understand what that meant, but I could soon see the progress which the boat was making, for I noticed we had reached a point nearly opposite to Galveston. Then after a series of "buffering," "tacking," "zigzagging" and the like, in due time we reached Galveston harbor, all safe and sound, without the slightest injury to boat-or passengers. Our race is likewise "in a boat." We are sailing upon troublesome waters, for this is an critical period in our upward struggle. We have set our eyes upon and are determined to reach the homeward harbor of success; that is especially true of the members of this league. But notwithstanding the headwinds of opposition, or the rolling current of competition, or the frail barque of our limited resources, we have men aboard who are not afraid to "sail in" against difficulties, men aboard who understand the elements of real progress and, under that great captain of negro advancement and economic development, Booker T. Washington, who is the "luffer" of his people, we will reach the port in due time. I want to say that this institution stands for the co-operation of the negro along a line that was never before attempted. I was a member of the defunct Afro-American council when it held meetings in various cities of this country in order to protest against wrongs and injustices perpetrated upon us, and in order to make big speeches and addresses and pass high-sounding resolutions, which never got before the public as we wanted. I finally became convinced that we were accomplishing but little if anything. Then I saw another star rising above the horizon. It was the National Negro Business league. I saw they had gotten together negro farmers, merchants, bankers, inventors, teachers, doctors, lawyers, for the purpose of discussing matters of vital importance to the welfare of our race and nation. And I noticed that even the reporters listened attentively and reported accurately their utterances and what transpired daily in their meetings. The papers began to change their tone; they began to say: "The negro people are rising in the scale of civilization, not through the process of simply holding indignation metings, but by the irresistible power of self-help; they are not merely pleading for others to help them and grant them sympathy and compassion, but they, as a race, are striving in a practical way to help themselves!" And indeed, my friends, self-help is the only kind of help that is capable of making us a people worthy of the world's respect and deserving of a place in the history of races. Outside help may cheer us, but that alone will never give us backbone, and no man can stand upon his feet and walk unless he has a backbone. We need and must have the sympathy and cooperation of each other; that, next to self-help, is the most important factor in the solution of our problem. And, in this connection, I am forcibly re- minded of a little story they tell about the elephant and the partridge nest. It is said an elephant was out grazing one day and as he walked about in the tall grass he came upon a nest of young partridges. Inadvertently he stepped upon and crushed the mother bird. The story goes that when the elephant saw the mother bird was dead, and that there was no one to take her place, he became very sorry and in pity looked down upon the dead bird and said: "Poor thing; I have killed you; I didn't mean to do it; and poor little orphan birds without any mother, I am so sorry for you. Now that your mother is dead you will have no one to brood you, to nestle you under her wings; no one to feed you and teach you the shrill sweet notes of your kind. I really feel sorry for you, poor little orphan birds, and even if you have no mother to sit on you, I will take her place—I will sit on you, little birds, I will sit on you." I can't believe that that kind of help did those birds any good. What those birds wanted was help from birds like themselves. And what the negro wants, in a constantly increasing degree, is the help of his own kind. I don't care how much inspiration comes to us from other sources, self-help, self-reliance and strength must come to us from seeing what our own people are doing and what they can do. And now, then, in conclusion, I want to do what one of my friends asked me to do by way of illustration. I refer to R. L. Smith of Texas. I have used this illustration a hundred times to show our people the wonderful power of united effort and how little money is required to make a great race rich. It illustrates just what cooperation along race lines in business is going to do for us, even though we do not control the great money markets of the world. Let me show you how the members of our race can use their money for their own best benefit and at the same time help and inspire other business enterprises—possibly producing negro millionaires within a very short time. Now here, for instance, are three men—Doctor Washington, Hon. J. C. Napier and myself—these three men representing the whole negro race (for the sake of illustration) so far as interchange of values is concerned. Now I owe Doctor Washington three dollars. (That is only supposition, however.) Doctor Washington owes Mr. Napier three dollars, and Mr. Napier owes me three dollars. (I am sorry that is not a reality.) Remember there are nine dollars owing in that debt, three parties involved, and let us say that there is only one dollar in the crowd and I have that dollar (which is a pretty big supposition). Only one dollar in circulation. Being anxious to pay my debt to Doctor Washington, I go to him like an honest man and give him that one dollar on account; that leaves two dollars which I still owe him. Then Doctor Washington hands the dollar over to Mr. Napier an account, leaving two dollars left on his indebtedness to Mr. Napier. Then Mr. Napier comes in and pays me one dollar on account, leaving a balance due me from Mr. Napier of two dollars. Now I take that same dollar and go to Doctor Washington and I say to him: "Here is another dollar of the two dollars balance I owe you; this leaves only one dollar I owe you now." Doctor Washington goes to Mr. Napier and likewise cancels another dollar of his indebtedness, leaving one dollar still due. Mr. Napier gladly comes to me and hands that dollar over to me leaving a balance due by him to me of only one dollar. Now, as the matter stands, I owe Doctor Washington one dollar, Doctor Washington owes Mr. Napier one dollar, and Mr. Napier owes me one dollar. Now with that last dollar Mr. Napier gave me I pay off my entire indebtedness to Doctor Washington, who in turn cancels his indebtedness to Mr. Napier, and Mr. Napier comes to me (like a good financier that he is) and squares up his entire debt with that dollar. So you see there has been nine dollars' worth of debts paid with that one dollar. How was it done? Simply by keeping that dollar traveling in a circle—as it ought to do among members of our race. Suppose, instead of taking that dollar to Doctor Washington, I had handed it to a man outside the circle, one who had no interest in the circle, my debt would not have been paid until I found another dollar, and likewise the debts of others would have still remained outstanding, but see what you can accomplish when you keep your dollars in proper circulation! Now you put the negro grocer in that circle, and the negro shoemaker, and the negro furniture dealer, the negro dry goods merchant, the negro seamstress, the negro doctor—put all the business enterprises that humanity and civilization require in that circle, and keep a little money circulating therein, and I tell you that every time a dollar goes around it will lift each one of you a dollar out of debt. I heartily congratulate you upon your strong and growing organization and bid you Godspeed in the good work which you are doing. Long may the Business league live and prosper, sad may it continue, in an ever-increasing degree, to perform its high mission of instilling confidence in ourselves and in each other, and, in a thoroughly practical and helpful way, win that respect for our race which it would be difficult to obtain in any other way than by showing what our race is actually achieving. Some women are nondescripts because they haven't yet decided between the short-waisted styles, or the long Parisian waists, and that sort never does.

E. E. BROOKS, Mgr. Silversmith & Hiller For the Hostess Dainty Millinery Dunty Mininery A Hobby Luncheon. A college girl described this affair to me, and I saw its possibilities even for those not in the hey-dey of youth, for who of us hasn't some hobby which we ride, either fast or slow, and in some instances "it" rides us. The guests were eight girls, all students at the same university, and all "next" to each other's whims and fancies. The centerpiece was a small hobby-horse ridden by a dolly dressed in cap and gown. At each place were small hobby horses with the name cards attached by ribbons in the class colors. No names were written, but all found their places by the clever drawing in pen and ink on the cards. For instance, the girl with musical ambitions found herself "Ten years hence with a hand organ and a monkey grinding out Home, Sweet Home." The stout girl (she called herself plump) was represented rolling down hill with the words, "I have lost one-eighth of a pound;" the maiden who was to be a teacher (in her own mind), was depicted as a fashionable society woman playing bridge; and the golf-girl found herself with Cupid peering out of her bag and the words, "A clever stroke" underneath. When all were seated the hostess asked each one to explain why her hobby was commendable, and she told them to look under their place plates, and there they found quaintly worded invitations asking them to meet her ten years from date and see how the hobby horses had been ridden. If impossible to be present, letters were to be sent to be read aloud. At the finish all joined hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne." Around-the-World Tea. A young ladies' Mission band got up the following very successful tea. A house represented each of these eight countries and several automobiles conveyed the guests to and fro: Greece, Italy, Germany, Russia, England, America, France and Japan. A five-minute paper about each country, with music, furnished amusement and the attendants were in costume. Flags of the country made the decoration with whatever characteristic article obtainable. A very small admission fee was collected by the courier as guests entered the auto and small fees were charged for refreshments, which were peculiar to the country as the menu shows: Greece, olives; Italy, spaghetti; Germany, kaffe kuchen; Japan, meshl (rice); France, vin di rouge (red punch); Russia, caviar canapes; England, plum pudding; America, ple. With good committees this scheme may be enlarged upon and a most interesting entertainment evolved. A New Word-Making Game. A hostess entertaining in honor of a visiting guest passed cards bearing the last name of her friend. The company was told to make as many words from the letters composing the name as they could in twenty minutes. A prize was awarded for the longest and shortest lists. This proved a very pleasant introduction and served as Dainty CLOSELY fitting hat of coarse white straw flecked with black, turned up at the back with pink velvet, and trimmed on one side with a bunch of velvet apples and satn apple blossoms. Morning hat of black Tegal trimmed with white silk an ice-breaker, as the people were almost all entire strangers. This scheme is a good one for church socials, which are apt to be stiff if not conducted along the same lines as a private party. An Indian Party. Now that so many children have Indian suits, try this for a party: Put up one or two wigwams and send the invitations on paper arrows through which a feather is thrust. Have them delivered by the little Indian who is to be the host. Girls may be dressed as squaws. There are Indian postcards, which would make very good place cards or souvenirs. For refreshments serve: Corn Meal Mush With Milk. Fish or Some Kind of Game. Corn Muffins. Indian Meal Pudding. made in individual ramakins. Make a contest of stringing beads and have a game of archery. A "Red Hot" Social. Try this the first real cold day and you are wondering how to warm up a church social which promises to be an爽 affair. Issue posters on scarlet cardboard, decorate with red cheese cloth, red shades, and train a good lusty chorus to sing, "A Hot Time." Dress the reception committee and waiters in red, have the admission "5 red cents." Serve "red hots" (wien-erwurst) uncased in hot rolls, pickles and coffee with doughnuts for sweets. MADAME MERRI IN VOGUE Skirts, especially on lingerie dresses, are showing more fullness. Double vellings are being used to give lonely descent effects. Velour hats are proving strong favorites in early fall millinery. The vogue for black and white alliances shows but little abatement. The jumper design has been furiously revived for dressy shirtwaists. Collarettes of black or white turtle are used to wear with afternoon gowns. Extensive use is made of all kinds of laces, and even lace robes are coming to the front. Blue and white combinations are to have a place in fashion, especially in wash fabrics. Gowns of all-over lace—some of the exceedingly costly—have the highest approval in fashion. Tulle and lace are largely used for fuchsia on evening gowns. These are edged with bead fringe. White Crochet Button: Small and large buttons made of white cotton thread coarsely crocheted are now in first fashion. They are placed on blouses, on one-piece frocks, on top wraps, in every size. They are used on blouses instead of pearl buttons and on white linen skirts.
