Walker of Indiana, Ind., the race's best kni- nail cultist, concluded a ten days sojour- nus to this city. The nation's capital has myriads of placemasters within its holders in the course of a year, but no woman has ever come to Washington and made a more profound impression in short, time than has this wonderful business genius from the Hoosier met- ronals. Like Caesar, she came, she conceived activity within her quaintances and making hosts of new ones. Madame Walker's itinerary and about Washington was a veritable march The madame, in company with Miss Alice P. Kelley, her assistant (formerly Alice P. Kelley, college, Cune Springs, Ky), and her private chauffeur, Mr. Homer West, motor-vehicle company, New York City, thence to Philadelphia, to extend the fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, to attend the annual Pythian encampment at Baltimore, and finally reaching the capital. The madam owns $3,000, and the power of costing over $3,000, and the power of costing the chine is shown in the fact that it traveled on all kinds of roads, kinds of buildings, a breakdown of any character. She is the soul of the city, with reference to this city comfortably, and since leaving home she has invited all classes and conditions of the clergymen, statesmen, journalists, society people, old folks and little children out for long and joyous days by church and by day. The car is naturally an MADAM C. J. WALKER. easy rider rider, and the smotoh asphalt streets of Washington and the ne roads hereabouts made the trips a source of unhoyed pleasure. "The Negro Woman in Business." Mme. Walker is essentially a business woman, and no matter where she goes or on whatever errand, she takes business on whatever occasion. She has the philosophy of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and never loses an opportunity to emphasize to her sisters the importance of acquiring a footing in the soil, making themselves financially independent, and setting an example for all people. She has the authority to instruct her application of their mental training. While here, through the courtship of the woman, she calls by which she sets great stores on "The Negro Woman in Business: not less than twenty churches on the First Baptist church, including the session of the Lott Care Baptist Missionary association, which sat here last the First Baptist church of Georgetown. Mme. Walker, who has built up from the bottom a manufacturing business, has introduced an income of $3,900 million and $1,500 million of colored men and women, is delivering these addresses throughout the country in a view of encouraging the women of the church to honorable as this work unites and kitchen—and to aspire to a place in the world of women. She argues that they should begin at once to turn their talents into channels of the business and are doing and develop enterprises that will yield larger financial returns. She own her own life story as an object lesson. Mme. Walker's Life Stories. Eight years ago Mme. Walker was a laudress and cook at $9 per week in Denver, Col. She discovered a formula she she found by personal use would grow she has in large warehouse or bookstore the texture. Embarking in business there on a capital of $1.50, and later changing her location to Indianapolis, to own a national market, she now owns a $10,000 home in that city, and has recently given a similar piece of property to her daughter in New York city she has in large factory, and bookseller, employing bookkeepers, clerks, stenographers, chaufeur, maid and facade and household helpers. she has now acquired the 1,000 agents, various sections of the country who are taking good money, giving treatments and selling her preparations. One a lady, a man, and has been with Mme. Walker three years ago, she brought over $00; the second year she took in over $80; and for the ten years she present year her books show receipts she has been said. Mme. Walker's monthly income averages $3,000; and, liberal as is in giving to educational and philanthropic causes, she pays taxes on property valued at not less than $50,000. She gave the first $1,000 to the building fund of the colored Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis, where she is instructing an endowment for a college in Liberia. She is president of the Lilia College at Indianapolis, where she is instructing an endowment, letting others into her methods, that they may spread the good work she has done much to relieve individual need among the poor she meets from time to time.

Another Star in Dr. Washington's Crown. Word comes that the Knife and Fork Club, of South Bend, Ind., has invited Dr. Booker T. Washington to be the chairman of the team to tober 18. There are plenty about a half dozen knife and fork clubs in the entire United States, and it is well known that they are very exclusive organizations, and they are not the ones these clubs, so far as is known by your correspondent, that a colored man has been invited to be its guest. This is a fact that is not foremost representative, and it is not doubted that the best side of our people will be shown to a company that has the best equipment and the most many ways. The honor is also another star on the crown of Dr. Washington, which already glistens with numerous courtesies at the hands of the most distinguished factors in American and European life.

There are people who spend their lives in dreaming but never accomplish any dream dreams and then bring to pass what dreams have in vision seen. To this latter class belongs Notable Benjamin Smith, of Birmingham, some at Tuskegee Institute, he went out and began working at his trade. Nine years ago he arrived in Birmingham, Ala., and he began to work on large visions of the time when he would be in business for himself and a own a lot of property. The first three weeks in business he received $20.00. The next four weeks he received $20.00. During all the time he was asking himself "Will my dream ever come true?" He saved enough money to become a contracting bricklayer. His venture was successful. Within a year he saved enough money to realize the into the real estate business. The pursuit of his first piece of property turned out to be a profitable investment. This gave him confidence in his real estate business. His venture and his next were successful. He branched out into other lines of business, began to lend money and became manicured. Smith is at present one of the leading young co-operative business men of Birmingham and is a member of the company to about $275.00 a month. His annual income from all sources is over $5,000. One of the most valuable pieces of property he has accumulated is his two-story office building. He is only accumulated property for himself and is not a service to the colored people of Birmingham by negotiating loans for his business. The cause of his business ability a great deal of money is placed in his hands for this purpose. In one year, the total amount he earns from his business is many Negroes in that city owning comfortable homes, the purchase of which was begun through his advice and with it appears that Smith's dream is rapidly coming. For with a monthly income of $400 and a profit of $100, he is a long way removed from the man who, nine years ago, started out with his business. It is possible for any young man who learns brick-masonry or some other trade, as taught by the Tuskegee Institute, to become a successful business basis for accumulating property and becoming a valuable citizen in the community when, By Booker T. et alown hom?on or BOOKER T.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX. BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Corn on the ear, sweet potatoes, canteLOU make the season distinguished. Are we merely to have Africa as our portion of the Democratic award. Very significant, isn't it. Might have had Haiti—that's a near Africa. Massachusetts has two colored candidates for the legislature. One of them will represent the district formerly represented by W. H. Lewis, if successful. Something doing in political circles this week. Some of the various candidates for mayor are busy using their position. Others have nothing to say, but they are sawing wood. Well, Vardaman, Tillman et al are not having an inning at Washington as they threatened. It may be that the Wilson influence has squeaked that obstreperous set. If so, it has not done badly. The good citizen movement makes a splendid appeal for their candidate. Bookwaltier is some spieler himself when he gets warmed up. Mr. Bell also enjoys some reputation as a spellbinder. It's a most beautiful fight. The Illinois Idea says that the Defender, of Chicago, was mistaken in its report that a millionaire white man was forced to marry his colored maid. The report is seen in many of the leading papers. How could the Defender tell such a tale and live. One William Shakespeare would say, "There's something rotten in Denmark." The terrible plight of the eight Negroes who suffocated in a dark cell in Texas reminds one of the Black Hole of Calcutta, where scores of Indians lost their lives through criminal negligence, if not criminal intent. One hundred forty-six men were crowded into a space twenty square and with no ventilation to speak of. The horrible suffering that the imagination presents to all who have read of the Black Hole has made it classic as a thing of hellishness. Cast in this mephitic furnace, of the foul breaths of men at night only twenty-three were left to tell the tale in the morning. COLOR LINE A SHAM. Here is what is being said in New York concerning the recently enacted civil rights law: The color line will continue to be drawn in fashionable hotels and theaters despite the civil rights law, now in effect. Although a fine of $100 to $500 for each violation confronts every hotel and theater manager who discriminates against any race or creed, both are rightly held a mark of moking the statute a dead letter. At the Plaza, Knickerbocker, Astor and Waldorf it was said no trouble was expected. "A hotel has always a right to charge what it pleases for a room," said a clerk. "If an undesirable comes it is easy to make the price unattractive." At the Hotel Manhattan the management, in order to keep its dining rooms well protected, has a pile of cards bearing the word "Reserved." "Supreme court decisions will protect us. If a person is undesirable he can be refused admittance. The supreme court has held that a theater is private, not public property, and a theater has the right to sell to whom he pleases. SWEET REASONABLENESS. Publications by the race were inclined to rejoice when the news went out from New York that that state had made it possible for Negroes to enter hotels, theaters and such like places. We said at the time, "We will see," having in mind the thought that business in those places would be conducted just about the same as it had been before the law was made. This view was taken owing to what we know of our social relations. In an editorial not long since, on "A National Primer Day," we said: "The too minor advocacy will not obstruct us, but as we said in the beginning we have the citizens' right to demand, and in doing so we will keep in mind racial relations, knowing that certain phases will not yield to race-made laws." It is just as well to be reasonable and sensible on this phase of the race question as to be irrational and foolish. We are very thankful to lawmaking bodies that mean to do their whole duty by trying to get the same recognition for Negroes as is enjoyed by white men. Indeed, we are preserving, civily in those greater affairs, where all are concerned, and politically, there will be no great cause for complaint. The very men who make the laws are not in for breaking down what we may call social restraints. They have rules at their homes which they enforce most rigidly. When not at home they are not altogether different. We will not be able to work words, if at all, but to say, that the palatial hotels, steamships, theaters stand for the final word of aris- tocracy, and in some sense exclusiveness. It stands to reason that if the Negro is barred from the private homes he will not be persona grata in these greater centers of society, even if they do wear a commoner aspect than the private home. This common aspect will include many white persons who are theoretically excluded as we are practically excluded, similarly of many black persons by who are not prepared for such society. There are the theoretically excluded. We, the Negroes, are both the theoretically and practically excluded. Practically because our color is the badge. We are known on sight. We dare say that if only the very few Negroes that are able to enjoy these "luxuries" in the very same sense that white people of means enjoy them there would not be this hue and cry against the Negroes. If they, when enjoyting them, possessed that same equipoise, that dignity and gentility, there would be very little said; perhaps no more than is said of the Jews. Unfortunately or fortunately our financial status is known. Unfortunately those blessed with money are merely blessed with it. The follower could be at the Actor House or at anybody else's house, yet we doubt if his equanimity in such places would help the race. There is a sort of bumpiousness to often that does not amount to an actual offense, yet which is an offense in itself. If only our citizens of means, of legitimate business and a d ultra respectable, asked for admision to these great or centers of society they would not be denied, and as they were not denied twenty-five or thirty years ago. There would be but very few to cumber these places. But it is known at this day that "to have the price merely and only" is a ruling race trait. Consequently, unexpected people with the price merely, are found in these unexpected places. Good clothes and a smart appearance is the complement to the price, too often. The merchant finds himself elbowing with his coachman, and looking more "spruce", although he may inhabit the loft at the rear end of the merchant's yard. The same can be said of the writers who rub right up against the guest at the theater just served at the hotel. The bootbelt boy, the bell boy take their places mid this great society of money, intellect and culture. The great democracy of thought standing for the democracy of society stands for this, but not your practicalness and reasonably enough. We are not magnifying conditions, even if we do put it a trifle strong. If Negro merchants came to New York to spend $10,000 each before they returned home they would ride about the town "in state." Hotel clerks would fall over their registers in getting them to enter their names. But who is going to worry with people out of their way to spend the few pennies which they would better spend if they deserving relative—the pennies spent—all spent. This restriction, as bad as it is, is teaching the race sanity. The valuable lesson of moving about as one is qualified to move about is being taught. There is such a thing as conventional laws, the agreements of society. The conceit that money talks is being taken out of us. It talks true enough but it must be in a sufficient quantity to make a noise like the money of those with whom we would associate. This is the law of the fitness of things, and an agreement of society, making the constitutionalism, rules of conduct that cannot be written in books, but often much better obeyed than those written in books. SUFFOCATED IN A DARK CELL. A sad story of the death of eight Negroes by suffocation on the state farm at Harlem, near Richmond, Tex., is making the rounds of the race publications. The fortunate eight were convicts who had been in the dark cell of the camp which was only ten feet long, seven feet high and seven feet in width. According to report, the men were placed in the cell because they did not make the headway needed them when at work in the field. It is said that the headway and inexperienced consequently were unable to make a good show. This as it may be, the fact is that they were confined in a space that was too small in dimensions, not to speak of the ventilation which was by the means of a few small holes. The affair is extremely unfortunate. Some think to see homicide in the incarceration; but this is not by any means certain. The men in charge have been charged with negligence, and perhaps she, that they can be charged with. The day was unusually this. This added to the unfavorable condition, perhaps more than the guards thought. We put this somewhat merciful construction on it because it is very probable that it was just that way. That the men have been arrested is proof enough that the case will be aired in court. And that is as much as we can expect; that white men are tried for their offenses against us as as they are tried for offenses against one another. Of course, we have in mind fair trials, impartial decisions. If we get these it is not our business to attempt to influence the court beforehand—to prejudice the court. THE NEWS OF NORFOLK, VA (By Ernest L. Wiggins, Freeman Sub Office, 215 Cumberland St.) Archer Found Guilty Very Quickly. On Monday, September 8, it only took the jury twenty minutes to return a verdict of guilt in the case. The judge appointed the Princess Anne Circuit Court upon the charge of having attacked and criminally assaulted Cora Whitehurst, at her father's home, on September 2 weeks ago. The verdict was returned at 6:05 p.m. on the same day of the trial. The citizens of Princess Anne failed to appear in the courtroom. Judge White determined to let Archer remain in the Princess Anne jail pending his death sentence, probably on Monday, September 10. The judge also ordered the state pentiment in Richmond. Motion for a new trial for Archer, made by Thomas H. Wilcox, appointed by the judge, to appear on Monday. Commonwealth Attorney A. J. Achrest proceeded Archer. Negro Held on Serious Charge.

But it was the ball that won the game. He pitched the ball and the Americans won. The big lead in the second inning was too big.

Policemen Versus Firemen. With a monster cloud to hang over Chicago just about the time people were getting ready to go to the game and people who expected to attend the game marched at home. However, 600 loyal fans came to the game and enjoyed a six-in-one game that was the funniest ever, and the gaily attire dined new suits. The game was called at 3:45, and Tube Foster Garnes at 4:15, and Garnes at the bases. The ball was knocked every way. Some of the players did well and others did not. One person had to walk in the door because Charley bore." The score was 16 to 10 in favor of the policemen. Officer Price deserves great credit for getting the ball out of the way of a worthy cause. Had it not rained, some several hundred dollars would have been cleared. The two teams had the assistance of the chief of police and fire marshal. That was always accepted as a fact that all officers performers were not a success unless they were doing the comedy role, and if they happened to be vocalists they must sing either coon songs or a song that was not exposed by the appearance in vaudeville of Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, who present nothing but high class selections and are a hit on the bill everywhere they Grace Boys Champions.

IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America. LOCATED IN Little Rock, Ark. This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars. Substantial Proof of Reliability Failures and frauds have been so numerous in organizations of this character that the public is naturally skeptical. We cite you the following evidences of our reliability, and same may be verified by spending a little time investigating: The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock, Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the order's surplus funds, and no extra building tax or assessment has been levied upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage of, because the order has always had sufficient funds to meet its claims whenever proof of death is made. Our Endowment department is national and has been inspected from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show: A Lesson in Figures Rates per Year and Benefits Paid. Men's Department, $11.75 per year; endowment, $200; sick benefits, $3 per week; burial, $50. Women's Department, $8.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $2 per week; burial, $50. Children's Department, $1.85 per year; endowment, $50; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial, $20. The above rates include all taxes, local lodge, state and Supreme Grand Lodges. The endowment policies of $300 are graded and payable as follows: Should death occur during the first twelve calendar months, $100; after the first twenty four calendar months, $200; after the first thirty-six calendar months, $300. Local Lodge Divisions The order operates in four divisions, and charter fees for organizing new lodges are as follows: Temples for adult males, cost of charter, $15; nunbers for adult females, cost of charter; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. For instance, an organizer would set up a temple of 100 lodges at $2 each; that would amount to $120. His charter would cost $15, leaving him a net profit of $105. We are anxious to engage active young men and women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas.

COLORED PROFESSION: FINANCE AND FAILURE Barred from the organization of "White Rats," greatly owing it, we are able to stand prosperity, standing generally in need and merely existing. Why can't we professionals be as enthusiastic as the "White Rats?" To equal such as those successful financial brothers, we must think of our colored professional brother struggling for years to reach the lines of success. In failure is doomed to imagine left in the vision of the past without means to back him. Our brother tomorrow is in pain. We wear diamonds, tomorrow we is in pawn. This retrospective cast upon this unhappy man not only require ability but does require much thought, the reason of which is the main foundation in progress to value Our Diety says that "a good name is better than great riches." But the Diety says that "the more things you ingest." The great reasons that now confront us and block us in every way to success, which brings to us poverty, by drawing attention to the dangers of bad food and bad follow that endless backward road to disgrace which they think is progress. The main pleasure of this diet is sporting and drinking. They must shun this corrupt slavery. What we need most, must have, must keep and must use is our brains, nurtured brain, and self-esteem. What we need power we can use equally anything as good as anybody. Knowledge is power, says the writer. Brain is power, says the writer. A writer said that "reading makes the man." Today it is money that makes the man. Reason and understanding are the keys to success. These must be low, when found penniless. It is a known fact that we can stolen and brought loose against our will freed and turned loose like cattle to do for ourselves. Our progress under terrible difficulties has been wonderful. Because of us B.E. the King, we have failed to take any action to advance but seemingly remain dormant and contented, knowing that much is to be done. Economy is by far the most profitable branch of education in life. We are called militants. Some of us try anything else, everything but save our money.

THE COLORED ACTRESS SALARY If current rumors be true, the colored actresses of the East are beginning to knock the Dudley circuit on the point of oblivion. Obviously, no enterprise can disburse them, but it can take and continue in business. It can take and continue, it less pays its expenses and returns a fair percentage on the capital invested. These are the primary business principles of the business of the world. The business of the world, with about 2,000,000 out of 10,000,000 Negroes in this country. The vast majority, for one reason or another, being non-theater-roaring. Those houses which cater to colored audiences and divide audiences into portions of the population to draw upon, they are, for example, the few limited seating capacity, they cannot pay large or fracy salaries and continue in business, that play to mixed audiences have the entire populace to draw from and consequently have larger receipts and are able to pay The Dudley circuit is willing to pay as much for acts as any one else similarly situated. It appears that some people would be able to handle fifteen weeks at $50 is far better than four weeks at $75. It requires only a simple calculation to establish the truth that the theater would help us, if we would help us, co-operate with us, it would ultimately mean more theaters, larger theaters, better working conditions and finally better salaries. The theater would always willing and eager to do its utmost for Negro performers, but it cannot do the impossible and it will not commit suicide by vicious violence. There is here before stated.

It is a positive fact that I. S. H.

As a student of the theater, I either my race or profession justice to accept the very lowest class of theaters in which to exhibit a first-class entertainment, or to be given men with capital to get together and build theaters for colored people. The public at large demands colored competition, although the public does not, but a financial failure; it is simply present on the part of the syndicates that are in power and control the theatrical situation. So I appeal to you, colored capitalists, to build theaters. If you are interested, write me. Respectfully. S. H. DUDLEY. 1853 7th C, N. W., Washington, D. C.

When the fall work begins September 29, all details will have been systematically attended, and no further work will be accomplished by the association this year.

Mr. Booker has had con- siderable experience in association work, having been general secretar yof the work given men in Chattanooga for the past three years. Mr. George D. Swain, who has just accepted the call to the secretarialship of the team, met in the educational room Wednesday evening.

De Frantz has a wealth of material from which he promises to develop a winning THE PASSING OF ALONZO GATEN. An Expression on His Life and Worth by a Friend. Alonzo Gaten, well known in musical circles, both in Chicago and Indianapolis, roanoke street, Roanoke street, this city, last Monday morning at 11 o'clock, after a lingering illness lasting nearly a year. Mr. Gaten was the thirty-five year old son of the late Armstead Gaten and Sara Gaten-Johnson. The funeral services occurred in Mills chapel, C. M. E. church, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock before a immediate relatives survive him: His daughter Nona; Mrs Sarah Johnson, his mother; Mrs Stella Harris, of Chicago, sister; Mrs Abane S. Felix; Herbert pilgrim; his mother. The career of Alonzo Gaten, although brief, was a remarkable one. At an age of 16, he was the first Gaten and found his value as a stanchion friend and a talented gentleman. Early in his career he showed much genius, including a successful comic opera comedian, and at an attempt in this line he made a great hit with the people of this community. His work was widely acclaimed, given at Big Bethel church, this city, to an overflowing half-white and half-colored audience. He made at least a dozen performances each time. And when the theatrical managers were talking of putting him on the road as star, he suffered a loss that he could not recover. A young wife, who was formerly Miss Willetta Carter, took suddenly ill and died, and it seemed that at her death they were all in her coffin and buried it with her. In the late years, at times, the old fire rallied in him, and he entertained in the house, the children, the tots, and stories, many times under struggle, for his heart was full of sorrow—yet he smiled. Later the old fire or ambition futures, he took to trap dummies, because he felt in his voice was gone and he could not tell a joke that used to make them laugh. He was displeased so far, that he left the old nation for the new one for the past three or four years, he had been making a record playing the drums in leading musical organizations of that age, his health would permit of no longer. He had his faults, I would have you know, but in face of that fact his good health had shadowed his bad ones. However, he is gone and we cannot fall to miss him, for he was of the sort that could not imitate in his peculiarity of kindness in touch with the expression of true friendship in my sight. A. M. E.
