Almost every psper from the States brings the news of anothe! lypchivg, burnin:, or Massacre of some defenseless colored person, womer and children not . x: mpted. The Curk- ish outrages which # few years stoked the civilized wold pales into insignifi- cance before the fiendish ortures prac: tloed upon tne colored people in the United States; and yet thrvugbout tre civilised nations of the earth we can- not hear the voice of one rise up agaiis it. And Old Glory cn isues to rally forth farther and far her into distaut lands, carrying the sovereign'y of the United Siater, and bearing the emblem of “fhe lend of the free ane the home of the brave.’? H-re, equa) rights and justice is (euppcs d to be) distributed to all; bat, oh, where i+ jus- tice and our equal rights? They both seem tu have vanished. Have we any room for hope of a future betterment of our condition? No,in my estimati p all hope has fied. We bave remons'ra- ted, we have pleaded, we have sent d.1- egatious of our race to Washington to implore for the interposition of the President and Congrees to arrest the bloody hand of Judge Lynch But our remonstrances bave been disregarded oar jleadings have becnin vain, ano our delegations have b eu snubbed aud ignored, and we have been cast away from the foot of mercy. Now under the existing circumstances what should we a3 @ race resolve upon doing? Bishop H. M. fur.er says the salva ion of ou: race lies in its immigration to Afric», the l.nd of our fathers But othe: prominent men of our race say that we can finally uvercome every obstacle i' we remain in Am«r.ca. They seem to think that the days of injustice and mb violence are numbered. But look. ing into the su: J-ct as I do, and having athorough knewledge of the Southerr White man as I have, I am forced to ad. mit that I believe Bishop Turner's a called immigration scheme, absurd a: it may seem, Warrants more than passing attention; for in the South ha’. red, prejudice, and a belief that the Negro is by nature inferior to a whit: Min is taught and instilled in.o the children by their parent: ; and not orl is this taught in family circles, but i is also \anght m many books of th Southern schoo's.

I think not, for daily manifestations prove to us, that through the yellow journalism of the South it is swiftly | spreadi g over the whole «f the United Siates. Aye! Even farther, yes every- where that an American white man resides. Bven here inthe far away Pailippmes they are swifily drawing the clor line. And they are daly teaching these Filipinos, a balf savage and ignorant peopie, that they are our superiors, and many other fabulous lies tvo numerous to mention. Now with this vast amount of enemies combined against us at home and abroad can we ever (by remaining in America) com- mend the respect of the world as a civ- ilized and intelligent people? I leave these questions for some other t2 answer more capable than I. Now I am aware of the fact that there are some good and law-abiding whits citi- zens in almost every section of the couutry; but the low and lawless ele=- ment vy taking the law im their own bands, make themselves pre-eminent.

CALIFORNIA OIL CAN MAKE YOU RIH-IF IS MAKING HUNDREDS OF MEN AND WOMEN RICH EVERY DAY. "The Early Bird Catches the Worm." The personal fortunes of several persons ,more or less well known, have increased as a result of investing at the right time, a few of the many are as follows: W. B. Hardison - $150,000 Thomas Hughes - 150,000 Edward Strausburg - 100,000 Charles Toll (Councilman) - 30,000 I. E Mosher - 40,000 Harry Chandler - 40,000 Lester Robinson [County Recorder] - 20,000 Anderson & Chanclor - 1,000,000 Edward Doheny - 100,000 I. G. Parker - 100,000 Robert Bulla - 75,000 And there are hundreds of others [men and women] in the United States whose fortunes are estimated at a million dollars and upwards. Those fortunes are not the result of small savings from salaries or otherswise, in nine cases out of ten they are the result of buying an article when it was for sale at a low price and selling when the price had reached a figure many times that which it originally cost. This is the secret of accumulating wealth. Any bright, ambitious person with a few dollars' start can get rich. It is easy to buy and sell. Buy cheap and sell at the highest rices. The man or woman who economizes on a small income can never get rich as a result of such savings. Put your spare funds to work for you. Make your money earn wages. Plant a few dollars in the oil business and see it grow day and night. Not many industries yield profits as a flowing oil well. If it is worth say $1 a barrel, and yields only 100 barrel [some yield 50 000 barrels a day] the income is $100. Expert oil men receive good wages, so we will estimate the pumper and his helper at $5 each, making $10 daily expense, leaving a clear profit of $90 a day. Oil wells produce day and night. Sundays also, therefore the profit for a year or 365 days is $32,850 enough to pay 120 Per Cent Dividends to Stock Holders no matter whether you invest ten or a thousand dollars the money would be divided according to how much yon put in of the original $300 000 capital. The stock could have sold at 50 cents. $1 or $100 a share, but the big profits would go to the investor who had the foresight to buy at the cheapest price. [National Oil Reporter, Oct. 10, 1901.] Fuel oil will ake the pace of 57 per cent of all the coal that is now used in the world.

Already some of the oil gushers have broke loose and are spouting 70,000 barrels per day, at least $25,000, actual profit daily, piling up wealth for stockholder. One of these wells sold for over a million dollars cash, and this enor mous profit afforded a hand-omed vident to stock holders early investors made fortunes. You cannot afford to delay. $5 Invested in Oil Make $2,000. The oil industry presents the poor man's opportunity, small investments, promptly made produced large returns, for instance, in the Reed Oil Company [Merchon Report] which recently sold for $1,800,000, netting $2,000 for each original investment of $5. Think of the shrewd, farseeing, now happy investors who had the courage and ambition to invest a small amount. They suddenly became wealthy, and even their nearest neighbors marveled at their good luck. They simply had the courage to contribute money to help develop a good property, and it earned each investor 1,000 per cent. It would take a savings bank 100 years to equal it. The investor who purchased $20 of stock sold for $8,000 $40 yielded, $16,000; and the one who put in $50 received the snug little fortune of $20,000. The Standard Oil Company has paid larger dividends for several years than any four railroads in the United States. Can you doubt that oil is to-day the most profitable industry? The time to buy oil stock is when it is first offered. Don't wait until the price advances several times, but buy at the ground floor price. The boom is now on. Excitement is intense.

Among the noble women living in Missouri who are helping with heart and with hand to elevate the race, no one woman perhaps is deserving of greater commendation than Mrs. Susan Paul Vashon of St Louis. Mrs. Vashon is yankee, pure and simple, born of Yankee parentage in the good old city of Boston Massachusetts while her ancestors for four generations back were natives of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She was educated in the schools of Boston and Somerville. Having been bereft of a mother in early childhood, on the remarriage of her father who had settled in Pittsburgh, Penn. she went to live in that city, and there met fate in the person of Prof. George B. Vashon, to whom she was married at the age of seventeen. Several children came to bless this home and to them Mrs. Vashon was not only mother, but a constant, loving companion; it may be said literally, almost that they grew up together; the father was no less kind affectionate in his family relations and here we have the picture of the "perfect home," its natural joys and sorrows shared by all. Alter several years of married life happily spent in Washington City Professor Vashon was appointed to the chair of language and mathematics at Alcorn University, Rodney, Miss. and although reluctant to part from the pleasant life and associations of their former home. The entire family accompanied the husband and father to the new field of labor where he felt that his duty lay. There laboring unceasingly for the education of the youth under his charge, he received from them an affection amounting almost worship. Mrs. Vashon at the death of her husband returned to Washington and for a time taught in the public schools of that city out in the appointment of her eldest son to a position in the St Louis schools, removed thither. Blessed now with both children and grand children, Mrs. Vashon still finds time for much work of a public nature. She is a forcible writer and from time to time has contributed most excellent articles to journalism. She is the president of the Missouri State Federation and Superintendent of the Department of Mother's Clubs in the N. A. C. W. where her wide experience and unselfish devotion cannot fail to be of great value. MRS LIBBIE C ANTHONY. Another Missouri woman of whom it may be said in a very truthful sense, "her life has been spent doing good" is Mrs. Libble C. Anthony of Jefferson City. Mrs. Anthony is a native Missourian, and as Miss Coleman, was educated in the Missouri schools. She THE COLLEGE AMERICAN; WASHINGTON, D. C. spent several years as a teacher in the public schools of St Louis where she gained an enviable reputation as an educator and was much beloved by XO MRS. LIBBIE C. ANTHONY. both pupils and patrons. In 1889 Miss Coleman became the wife of Professor E L. Anthony, a gentleman and scholar, well and favorably known in the educational circles of Missouri and other states. A Baptist in religious faith, Mrs. Anthony has always been a zealous worker in church and Sunday school. As a temperance and social purity reformer she is well known, having been identified with the W. C. T. U. for a long period, holding during the greater part of this time the responsible position of state superintendent of work among colored people of Missouri. Mrs. Anthony has also held many other important offices of trust and honor, discharging the duties entailed with a lively sense of her personal responsibility. She is now matron of the girls department of Lunc in Institute, Jefferson City, Missouri, and treasurer of the National Association of Colored Women. The seventeenth annual session of the Missouri State Teachers Association was held in Allen Chapel, Kansas City, December 26th and 28.h inclusive. Many valuable papers and discussions were presented and much practical good should follow. Mayor Reed while delivering the welcome address in behalf of the citizens paid a glowing tribute to the artistic talent of our race, to its poetic fire, and to the Afro American educators and authors rapidly forging their way to the front On Friday afternoon Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. one of the most eloquent speakers the race has produced addressed a large and enthusiastic audience and held them spell bound by his magic and fervent oration upon "A New Negro for a New Century." This is Dr. Bowen's second address to a Kansas City audience within a comparatively few weeks, but were he to return next week he would be just as heartily welcomed by both races as he has been in the past, and cannot come too often. Kansas City's grand reception to members of the association on Friday evening, December the twenty-seventh was in every sense highl creditable, and evidently heartily enjoyed by all who were so fortunate as to attend. The Institute Literary Association of Kansas and the West held its eleventh annual meeting in Kansas City, Kansas, December the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh. The papers, orations and music were of high order, reflecting much credit upon all concerned, and showing that the West is a coming power in the literary and musical world Delegates were present from Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri The president of the National Association of Colored Women was cordially invited to present the work of this organization to the assembled body. Much interest was manifested in the address given. Professor Walter G. Wood of Kansas City, Kansas, was elected president and Miss Mary J Dillard of Lawrence, recording secretary. After an exciting contest between Omaha, Nebraska and Leavenworth, Kansas, the next place of meeting was decided in favor of the latter city, during the holiday season of 1903. The Asbury Choir Elects Officrs and Makes Presen s The annual meeting of the Asbury church choir was held Thursday evening, January 3rd. at which time the following persons were elected to office for the ensuing year: Mr I. L Henson, president; Mias Bertie Mason, vice president; Thomas H Coaplin, secretary; (re-elected.) Miss Sara A. Tyler, treasurer, (re-elected.) In a very fitting speech Prof. J. Henry Lewis who has trained the choir for the past few years was presented with a hand some silver mounted umbrella, Mrs. Estelle V. Jarvis the faithful and accomplished organist was presented with a beautiful dressing sack, and Wm. Diggs the attendant was given a half dozen shirts. Appropriate acknowledgment was made by each recipient. By the annual report submitted it was shown that the choir membership was thirty two persons in good standing, and that in five years the choir had accumulated music to the value of one hundred dollars As a request has been made by citizens generally for a repetition of the oratorio "The Prodigal Son," recently given, it is likely that it will be repeated during the meeting of the annual conference which will be held in the Asbury church during the early part of March. Dr I. L Thomas is the pastor of the church which is one of the oldest and best known here, and the choir is rated among the very best in the city. A Class-day Banquet. Rev. J.

Noted Divine Talks Freely of the Washington Roosevelt Dinner and of Race Problems—Lynching is the Greatest in the South - Hoar Bill is endorsed by the Bishop. (Iowa State Register) Bishop Grant, of Indianapolis, Ind in the city and will be heard at the Y M C. A., auditorium tonight. He was seen by a reporter for The Register on his arrival from Chicago, Saturday and he talked freely of public affairs Naturally, the first topic of interest related to the Washington-Roosevelt dinner Asked his view of that, Bishop Grant said: "President Roosevelt, in inviting Mr Washington to dinner, was in harmony with his past life, and did nothing more than any president should do who desires to show that he appreciates national ties who are citizens of this country, and I do not believe that scarcely any publicity would have been given to the act had not it been that it was just a few days before the elections in several states. "I was in Washington city at the time, and the papers of that city simply announced that Prof. Booker T. Washington had dined with the president, and we heard nothing more of it until some strong protests came I cannot see how an intelligent man can entertain the view that any individual on any class of individuals, can establish rules to govern the social relations of the people for there is no such thing as social equality. Any one who enjoys the acquaintance of President Roosevelt will agree that when he decides on a course of action he will act. In accepting the invitation to dine with the president, Mr. Washington simply did what any other American citizen would do had he the opportunity to dine with the chief magistrate of the nation. Mr. Washington is a gentleman of high character and a scholar and we have been taught that this is what the American people require of any race or nationality to accept them as men. He is doing more for the development of his people than any other one man in the country, except those who furnish the means with which to do, and my prayer is that nothing will occur to interfere with his work. Just a few days ago I visited his school and found 1,200 students hard at work preparing themselves for future usefulness, and all knowing what they will follow as their life work when they leave Tukegee Normal. It the United States government desires to do something substantial for the Negro race, let it establish institutions of this character in every state where slavery existed, and prepare the young people to do the skilled labor of the South as their fathers have for the last 150 years. Bishop Grant was asked his view of the nation's attitude on lynching. He said: "The Republican party was born at a time when there was a great duty to be performed and it seems that it was intended by Providence that Abraham Lincoln should meet the emergency. The first was to abolish slavery. The second is to guarantee equal rights to all regardless of race or color. The third is to guarantee to all citizens the right of suffrage, irrespective of color, race or previous condition of servitude. These are all covered by the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the national constitution so far as the relate to my race. As to h well the constitutional rights have been enforced is left to the intelligent public to THE COLORED AMERICAN WASHINGTON "The Chicago Tribune says the record of lynchings in this country for twenty years since 1881 shows a total of 3,130 The details of this red record, as given by the Tribune, show that many of these lynchings too, were accompanied by torture, to match which we must go to Turkey and China. The details for the years 1881-4 inclusive, are not procurable, although the totals are. Beginning with 1885 and ending with 1900, the record is complete. In these sixteen years there were 2516 lynchings. In the list, Indiana has the unpleasant distinction of holding the record among the Northern states, more lynchings having occurred within its bounds than in any other Northern state. The number was thirty-six. Thirteen states exceeded this number. They are; Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Indiana record by years was: In 1886 8; in 1887 6; in 1889 3; in 1890 2; in 1891 3; in 1893 2; in 1894 2; in 1896 1; in 1897 5; in 1898, 1; in 1900 3 Mississippi leads for the period, with 253; Texas next, with 247; Louisiana, third with four hundred and twenty-two; Georgia fourth with two hundred and nineteen; then Alabama with two hundred and ten; Tennessee, 169; Arkansas, 156; Kentucky, 140; Florida, 109; South Carolina, 84; Virginia, 78; Missouri, 65; Indian Territory, 53; Indiana, 86; Oklahoma, 36. The only states that were free from this crime are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware and Utah. Of the total of 2,516 in these sixteen years, two thousand and eighty were perpetrated in the Southern states and 436 in the Northern. Of the victims 2465 were men, 51 women. "It will be seen by these figures that the crime of lynching has become contagious and only the Almighty knows where it will end if the nation does not take hold of it with a strong hand. All civilized nations now join with the Chinese minister in the statement that lynching is strictly an American institution, as such lawlessness is not practiced in any other country." Bishop Grant spoke of the Hoar antilynching bill before congress. He said: "Since the Republican party's organization it has usually taken the stand for good government, hence we expect the senate to stand by Mr. Hoar's Bill. If the bill passes it will have a tendency to check the crime complained of, and I am of the opinion that some of the liberal Democrats—if the thought of state rights can be eliminated—will support the bill. Several of the Southern governors in their messages to the legislatures, have made stronger recommendations against lynching than any of the Presidents of the United States. Among these were Govs. Hogg of Texas. Longino of Mississippi, and Jones of Alabama. If Senator Hoar's bill fail to pass we can do nothing but abide our time and pray for some party to be organized that will see that every right guaranteed by the constitution shall be enjoyed by all citizens alike." "Is there a disintegration among Afro-American voters as between parties?" "There is not at this time. Six years ago there was a sentiment among the colored people which indicated that in a few years the vote would be divided as much as that of any other nationality in the country, but since the disfranchising methods have been adopted in several of the states it is my opinion that the effect has been to make the Negro vote more solid for the Republican party than ever, and it is now thought that a large number of them will emigrate to North and West from the states were these disfranchising acts have been passed. If these people locate in the doubtful states, as many believe the Republican party will control the nation for the next quarter of a century " "Roosevelt as you kn b'm? "President Roosevelt is the highest type of an American citizen and will do his duty as he understands it." "How is the work and the growth of the church progressing?" "At the close of the civil war, the membership of the A.M.E Church was 50 000. It is now over 600 000 has 6200 ministers and 6 800 congregations, with 17 institutions of learning; foreign work has three conferences on the coast of West Africa, three in South Africa, two in Canada, one in Bermuda, one in Hayti, one in San Domingo one in British Guiana, one at the Wardard Isles and one in Liberia. The property of the connection is valued at $10 000 000 so we feel in our humble wav, that we are doing as well as possible with the means at our command, to advance our Rodeemer's kingdom. We had eighteen delegates at the great ecumenical conference just closed in London." Race Gleanings. In the Southern tobacco factories there are over 5,000 colored tobacco workers who are members of the tobacco workers' union.

A Disgruntled Negro of Boston starts a Patent back Newspaper whose Object is to Reform Everything and Everybody-The Papr on its Last Legs at Last Reports. The Colored American:—"The Guardian," a Negro newspaper published in this city is the latest acquisition to Race Journalism. It appeared on the scene several weeks, ago, and during its brief career it has run the whole Gamit of invectives. It seems never so happy as when heaping abuse upon someone who has chosen to think or act along lines not laid out by The Guardian. This paper is the outcome of a series of nauseating efforts on the part of a few young men in this city to make themselves conspicuous by posing as the champions of the Negroes "manhood Rights." At this critical period of our history no man can be blamed for putting forth every effort that a pure heart and honest mind can exert in behalf of the sacred privilege of citizenship. We need "watchmen to tell us of the night, what the signs of promise are"—men to "cry aloud in the wilderness, make straight the way." Such men are "nature's noblemen" and we should give them "our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, our faith, triumphant o'er our fears." But when a set of men adopt the suecidal policy of race uplift by negative methods—of criticising instead of doing, of tearing down instead of building up, of sowing the seeds of strife and discord instead of unity and concord, it is then that our souls revolt and we cry "Halt!" Strange as it may seem such is the avowed policy of "The Guardian." But be it said to the credit of the representative people of Boston, they "have neither part or lot" in such whining proceedings, and they have stamped their disapproval on The Guardian by refusing to subscribe to it. If any, out of Boston, who read this paper think that it voices the sentiment of the colored people of this city, let them cast away such thoughts, for the young men who publish it are out of harmony with their fellows and are left to "wander more lonely" and less majestically "than a cloud." The editor de facto of The Guardian has said that the mission of his paper is to crush Mr. Booker T. Washington. "Booker is the arch enemy of the Race and we mean to follow him to the ends of the earth," said he. And he has "followed" him only to take disjointed and detached phrases from Mr Washington's speeches and distorted and colored them so as to make him appear to be what The Guardian would have him. Never was Ca o more relentless in his determination to destroy Carthage than The Guardian to cripple the influence of Mr Washington with the thinking people of his race and country. The Managing Editor of The Guardian is reported to have said that he wished "that Tuskeges would soon be burnt to the ground" and even intimated that Mr. Washington was a thief. To further show how little he is in mind and soul, he refused to rent certain public parlors in this city after speaking for them, because he happened to see Mr. Washington's picture hanging on its wall, along with those of other men and women who have served the race. Neither is this all. The Guardian has alurred some of the most respected and honored citizens of Boston because of their refusal to be parties to such littleness. Hon. J, J. Smith, an ex-member of THE COLORADO AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, 12, 6 he State Legislature, who has fought tooth and nail in behalf of his race for more than a generation, has fared most ungraciously at the hands of The Guardian because of his expression of confidence in the wisdom of Booker T. Washington. Capt. Chas. L. Mitchell who worked for his race with Wm. Lloyd Garrison, who lost a leg in the Civil War fighting to liberate his race when the Editor de facto of The Guardian was sucking 'sugar tits' and wearing kilts on a Mississippi plantation, and who after the war, was elected to the Massachusetts Leg'sature by a greatful constituency and at the expiration of his term was transferred to the U.S. Custom House where he has since held a lucrative position, has also come under the ban of The Guardian. Capt Mitchell is one of the most substantial colored citizens of Boston and has done as much, if not more, than any other colored man living in this city towards obtaining employment for young men and women of his race Such services, however, did not shield him from the sneers of The Guardian after he said: "I believe in Booker T. Washington." Mr. W. H. Lewis, who, because of his scientific knowledge of foot-ball, is the most widely known young colored man in college circles to-day, who is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and has a lucrative practice in Boston and who will soon take a seat in the Massachusetts Legislature from a district in Cambridge, Mass., where there are not a dozen colored voters—the solitary representative of his race in that august assembly—he, too, has had hurled at him such a fuselade of opprobious epithets as to make one's cheeks burn with shame for The Guardian lack of the sense of common decency. And why? Because, at a banquet given in honor of Mr. Washington by the Business Men's League of this city, he was manly and corageous enough to say in effect "for years I have misunderstood Mr. Washington and criticised him; now I understand him and am with him." After intimating that mercenary motives actuated Mr. Lewis to pursue the course that he did, it closed its scurrilous attack by saying: "There is not a true and tried well-wisher of Lewis who would not a thousand times rather have seen flowers heaped around his coffin than around his plate for such a service." Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, the honored son of an honored father, the late Senator B. K. Bruce, The Guardian has given "the most unkindest cut of all." It is unnecessary to say anything of Mr. Bruce by way of introduction. His remarkable career in Harvard College for nearly four years speaks for him. Though a little beyond his majority he has the eloquence of a Greek combined with the wisdom of a philosopher and is so refused and gentlemanly in his bearing that he has been dubbed the "Harvard Gentleman." In a pre-eminent degree he is the ideal of Harvard College. His latest honor is his election as class orator for next June. There is nothing visionary about him. He is a hard student of sociological questions and looke facts squarely in the face. This young man was bold enough to advocate industrial education for the masses of his race and cited statistics showing the pathetic conditions of hundreds and thousands of Negroes because of the croplien and mortgage system—another form of slavery—by which they are cursed. This speech brought to the fore all the vanom of The Guardian and after calling him trimmer, sycophant and what not, it was cold and calculating enough to say that Mr. Bruce took such a position because his mother is the Lady Principal o'an industrial school—the source of his means to get through college. Another prominent citizen to whom The Guardian has alluded in language unworthy of any reputable sheet, is Mr, E. E. Brown, one of the oldest law yers, in point of practice, in this city. His "crime" like that of the other gentlemen was his words of commendation of Mr. Washington. There is nothing positive about The Guardian. A negative vein is in its nature and it seems oblivious to the fact that "A fool can criticize but it takes a genius to build." It is indeed unfortunate that such a spectacle should be presented by any young men who are old enough to know better, but such is true. As of old "Ephraim is jined to his idol" so making such comments we are actuated by no personal difference with The Guardian. We simply consider it due the race to say in words which cannot be misunderstood that the young men behind The Guardian are more voluble than valuable, more flippant than conscientious, and they never have and unless kind Providence intervehes, never will put themselves to the least inconvenience to serve their race, unless by so doing an opportunity is offered to "play to the galleries."

A great deal of important work has been accom plisbed a1 d many interest- lng reports made respectirg the work both religivus ad educational, Mapy preminent ministers and educators are present from this aud other States. Aspecial feature cf last night's meet- mg wasan sddrers by Prof 1 Garland Penn before the Young Peoyle’s Ep- worth League. Prof. Penn said in part: “What the young Negro wan:s is character and ability. Let bim get character, get something in bis bead and always keep something ‘n bis p: ck et. Character and ability wil win in the end. Iam certain of une thing. God is always oa the side of the man of character, and you need not doubt but that ali good men sre on the same side. | Let us jo bands with the good men of characcer of ali racesand let us build on asolid foundstion. Iam anx'ous about the young men and women of the race; I am anxious that they chill be raised up avd to be useful along sll lines. The Negro society has divisions that are very distinct, though those who decry the Neg’o, blinded by pre- | jadice, msy not be able to see it. The Negro is waking great moral progress, @ material avd fina: c'sl progress are marked by «xtremes, for while @ part are cn the hilltop others, the great ma- jority are in the gutter. What I waat those who are uptodolsto extend their hands and as ist those in the gutter to rise, “J believe this ccuntry is the place for the Negro. We bave Lot time to talk about taking ihe Negro to A ica, or anywhere else, but we w-nt him to work here, to edacate his ch luren, buy homes, get }roperty, be sumebody have character, be a man, think as other men think Iam a Negio, and; Iam proud of the fact. I think, I =a sop, I act as otber men act, and I .sm not disturb:d about what the vewspa | pers may call me. I kvow whet lam I know character will sbine just as bright under a bisck skia a, under a, white skin.

Charleston, S C, Jan. 1-This was Negro day at the exposition. The colored people held appropriate exercises in celebration of Emancipation Day and delivered their building to the exposition authorities. The crator of the day was Thomas E. Miller, president of the South Carolina Colored College and former Congressman from this district. He spoke of the accomplishments of his race and urged for the future chiefly frugality and the acquisition of property as the most effective means of attaining a proper recognition. He emphatically deprecated any efforts to gain social equality, which, he declared, "is a foolish delusion and neither possible nor desirable." He also charged his race to friendship with the Southern whites and not to be looking North for recognition, which would not be given. Booker T. Washington was not able to attend the celebration. In his address, among other things, President Miller said: "The white man of the South is the white man of the northeast; the white man of the South is the white man wherever the American eagle spreads its wings. We have friends across the Mason and Dixon line. They have spent their treasures to assist in elevating us, but we have them by the millions around us on this side of the line. Let us say here that there is no such thing as social equality anywhere in the world!; and that no sane white man or Negro should pay any attention to the clatter about social equality, for it is all bosh to talk about it. No sensible Negro aims at it or expects it." Concerning the Negro as a factory hand he said: "I can locate a cotton factory in tide water Carolina and operate it with Negro hands and make more money on the capital invested than has been or can be made with white hands in the counties of Anderson, Richland, Chester, Greenville, Spartanbug, Cherokee, York, or Union, and cotton factories have always paid in the counties named. I am not asking to displace the white labor of the upper country with Negro labor, but I want the moneyed men of the world to know that the chances to make money in cotton factories with Negro labor in lower Carolina and Georgia are two to one in our favor."

JANUARY ft 1902 WE MUST ADVANCE, The Negro must advance commer cially All the other good things he has done he should have done, but ad vancement on hia part, along commer: sicl lines, is the one thing needful and should not be left undone. Now that the New Year is upon us, we should make new resolves. and live up to them. We should stop advising others to support colored business enterp~'ses in cur midst, and set the exam; le by patronizing them ourselves, and bid otbers follow our example. Recently a shoe store has been open ed on Seventh street by a firm of young colored men. Just before the True Reformers opened a grocery on 4th and N st. We baveno doubt but that many good people advise their friends to trade at these stores, while they themselves continue to trade anywhere else but there, We forget that men are influenced more by what we do ourselves than by what we tell them to do. The Twelfth Census shows that there are more than 27 000 employes in the government departments here. It ie safe to say that atleast two thousand of these are colored, and that they have an averege income of nine hun: dred dollars per annum. Most of these had either no salary at all, or not over twenty dollars per month income when they entered the government service. What we cannot understand 13, why it is tbat these employes for the most part live up to or beyond their income? surely, it is not because they were ac: customed to the style of living which nece sitates the expenditure of $2 50 or more per day. It is not infrequent in the govern ment service that the man who receives $150 per month has to borrow from the man who receives $'(0, or the man who receives $100, from the man who receives $60, or the man who re: -ceives $60, from the charwomon who receives $20 per month _ If the two -thousand colored employes in the Dis trict whose salaries average nine hun- dred dollars per annum, wuld resolve THR COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, B © to save one third of their salaries for ons year their would be at the end of the year an average amou't of $300 in the hands of each, or an aggregated capital among them of $690,000! It we should deduct twothirds of this amount for the unrestrainable extrav- agance of the dudes and dudines, there would still remain a saved-up capital of $200,000 at the end vf the year—to start a department store on the plan of the Boston House. It ten per cent of the remaining $1,600.000 im salaries received by Ne groes bere were speat in such an en: enterprise, theve would be no doubt of its success for it would be assured of a volume of business equal to $160.009 der annum. What a number of High and Norma] School graduates who fail to secure teacherships or govern ment positions, would fiad suitable em ployment in such a commercial enter ‘prises! One thing is certain, namely, that the savants of the race must either be gin to devise some means of suitable employment f r our educated boys and girls who are idle becauss the avenues of educated toil controlled by white men ave closed against them, or thes must expect the cursees rather than the blessings of the rising generation for bringing them into the world and assistiag them to become educated and then refusing to do their part in pro’ viding them the means of using their education Anvther wise resolve would be that each and every colored person her. who shall need the services of a doc tor, lawyer or mechanic shal] enddeay or to employ those of colored men, oth er things being equal, for if our own professional men and craftsmen are whl! supported, it will encourage other men of the race to venture upon mer. cantile }.ursu'ts and it enter into gen- esal commerce with the assured hope of succ: ss.

K. MeClure expressed the opinion that the Negro has passed out of national politics for good He bases this opinion on what be ealls his «Random Kecollections ot Half a Cen tury,” in which he says the colored people have never received any poli tical recognition in the northern states. as he can reoall but one instanco of a colored man bing elected toa state office, and only two instances where persons of that race have been elected to a state legislature. As Mr. Thomas HT Clark vo admirably showed in his letter to the Post, Col. McClure, like most white men who discus so freely the Negro and his progress, knows very little about the progress of the colored people As a matter of fact col- ored men have received considera le political recognition in the North con sidering their number, both in elective and appointive offices At the present time there are col red men in the leg- islatures of Ohio, Michigan, Massa- chussetts and Illinoia. ‘I here has scarce ly been a time in the last twenty five years that colored men have not been mrmbers of the Ohio Legislature. Col- ored men have been elected and a - pointed to all sorts of officers in the North, from township clerk to mayor sheriff, state auditor, governor's coun: cil, judge and others too numerous to mention. As 4 rule they have run even with ard often ahead of their tickets While the North has not done for them all it should have done, it has done enough to establish and protect the principle of the political equality of all its citiz-ns The colored voters in the Northern States are active and alive to their rights and interests and we believe him to be a poor prophet who predicts that because there is no longer one of their race in Congress, these free voters will “Go away back and sit down.’ In the articie in question Col Me- Clure gets «ff the stock argument about the mags of colored voters being venal and purchasab'e However, he trips himse f up In one place he says they have uniformly ,oted the republican ticket Evidently both these state: ments cannot stand. If they are re- pubdlicans, the republican managers are not big enough fools to go out and buy what is already theirs Either Col. McClu e hss been “buncoed’ by some tricky, unprincipalled Negro or he thiaks money paid for legitimate cam paign work goes to buy votes The Colonel need not be told that the Aus: tralian ballot sakes the purchase of votes useless The tenor vf the correspondence to The Colored American from the Phil- ippine Islands is that color prejudice is ou the increase. ‘he ‘noble’ American army offices are leaders in this nefar- ious work, The relative speed of truth and false hood is shows 1m bold relief by a re cent incident. About two weeks ago an associated press dispatch from Al+ toona, Pa, lit up the wires with the statement that Senator Hanna and Secretary George B. Cortelyou had provided a place in the United States Senate az special messenger for James B. Parker the hero of the Buffalo trag- edy. It was printed in nearly every daily and w-ekly newspaper in the United States. ‘Ihree days after the dispatch had been sent out Senator Hanva denied any knowledge of the aprointment to an associated press re’ porter. The Sergeant‘at-Arms of the United States Senate made a similar denial. But the colored press with ite usus! tendency to drowsine:s continue to announce in large head lines the ap- pointment of Mr. Parker to a good federal porition. Speaking about Cabinet making re- minds us that a most excellent piece of cabinet work—a violin guitar has been sent us from New Orleans to present to President Roosevelt for his daugh’er, Miss Alice, on making her debut. The instrument is a wonder and is as full of music as honey wiih sweetness. The maker and sender is Mr. Samuel E. Davis a moat successful colored cabinet maker of the Cresent City. He pre- sented the late President McKinley with an electric launch and has sent Hon. D R. Francis, chairman of the World Fair Purchasing Exposition at St. Louis. Mo, with a many wooded gavil. There is mahogany in the Cab- inet. In his thoughtful paper before the Second Baptist Lyceum last Sunday, Mr Lewis H Douglass spoke some brave words on the necessity for better service am ng those of the race engag” ed in domestic service. Nearly two thirds of our people in this city who are wage earners are thus employed. The number of advertisements in the “want columas” of the daily preas call: ing for wh te domestics 1s iocreasing with alarming proportions. Two thirds of the race in this city are face to face with this alarming fact- What are we going to do about it? Are we simply going to drift? The “local in the last issue of The Co'ored American to the effect that Mr. Dancy, tue new Recorder, would ~make a clean sweep” of the office wher. he took charge was without foundation Mr. Dancy is a veteran federal office holder and has fil'ed many high places with great credit to himself and to his country. Merit will be the test in his office which will be conducted on the highest business lines. Prof. H H. Hagaa ot Greensboro, N, C. sees no difference in the Negro of today from the Negro of two hun- Gred hears ago—except in education, his fondness for titles and degrees, his desire to accumulate wealth and to own property—a few differences don’t you think? We may begin now, we may put it off one year, five years, a hundred years, bat until we learn to put aside our small, unworthy jealouses, enimi- ties and rivalries, put our shoulders to the wheel as a Christian duty and help one anoiher to success in business, we will continue to be at the fag end of the procession, _ What a great blessing it would be of infl ential white men who want te ‘be fair would stop writing on the race ques'ion until they knew someting about the colored man’s side of the con troversy. The white citizens of Selma, Ala., had three successive conip'ions last week when they heard that President Roorevelt had appointed Charles Gary, colored, postmaster for Selma, [t was an idle rumor, A SOUTHERN LEADER. We notice that an effort is making to have Col. John H. Deveaux, Col- lector of Customs at Savannah, Ga., superseded at the expiration of his pre- sent term by a white man. The only objection urged against Col. Devaux is that he is a colored man; and this ob. jection comes too from a class of men who claim to be re ublicans, and’ who profess to be able to build up a strong republican organization in Georgia, provided only about four offices held by colored men by presidential appooint- ment, are filled by whitemen The contention is at once silly and a reflec- tion on the integrity and chivalry of Southerv. white men. We do nvt believe that by displacing the colored men in office, and filling their places with white men, any considerable number of white men in the South wiil join the re- publican party. But to retucn to Col. Devaux. He is a loyal, veteran republican, grown gray in the service of his party in the state He has the confidence and e- spect of all the people who know him, regardless vi race, or color, or politics. for twenty-three years he has been connected with the military organiza’ tion of the state of Georgia, during which time he has reflected credit on himself, and rendered lasting service to the state militia. He has an enviable record as a public official of the United States, possessing experience, adminis: trative ability and incorruptible integ: rity. He measures up to all the re quirements of the merit system He meets P esicent Roosevel’s standard of efficiency. This being the case, and it is the case, it is to be sincerely hoped that t.e President will not be swerved by the ery of color, nor mislead by the ignis tatuus of a white’ man’s republj' can party in the South, THe NEW ENGLAND NBWS. 4 Virginian Possesses & Civil Service Exam. ination and Comes to the Nations Capital.
