Negotiations are pending by the Zion connections and the different St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church at Fourth-century and Corcoran church at Fourth-century and Corcoran John Wesley church is to be installed, a possible consolidation with Gal- leby, Wesley, either of which would profit by the new bargain at the future. The price asked for the new property is about $6,000, and real estate is priced at $1,000, more than the bargain at the future. The site is being the line of business development of the artery of the great North- west, and Zion officials have long desired to have a permanent house of worship and a church.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, IS NO MEAN CITY Is Situated on the Banks of the Scioto River and is Near the Geographical Center of the State IT HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 200,000 SOULS IT HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 200,000 SOULS The Estimated Colored Population of the "Buckeye" Capital is 25,000, and is Scattered in All Sections of the City—Was a Station on the Underground Railroad Before the War—There are Probably More Colored Students who Attend the State University than Attend Any Other State University. (By Nahum Daniel Brascher.) The other day a friend told me a letter addressed to him from New York city, as Mr. _____ Columbus, came direct to his office in Columbus, Ohio. He generously gave the compliment to the city. So it may be accepted without fear of contradiction that Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, is no mean city. He banks the banks of the Sciota River, near the center of the state, it is a busy axis in the progress of Ohio. Columbus is a picked capitol city. The Legislature of the state of Ohio selected this point as the place for a state capitol. The capitol at that time was in Chillicothe. In 1812 the city of Columbus was founded. In 1912, the centenary was celebrated. Within 100 years, from a barren spot where once the rambling Indian trot, to a thriving, progressive, aggressive American city of 200,000 population; where in the chapters of the great history of the British state the capitol is the Columbus to be described to you. Sturdy men and women formed the pioneer population of the new capital. Men and women, Godfearing and earnest. So the place at once became a mecca for those of high ideals seeking an opportunity to be successful. History records that many negro men and women were among the earliest settlers here, and many of them were unusual opportunities to advance. State Buildings Grouped. Columbus was one of the famous underground stations and many a plumber placed a factory here on his way to Canada and freedom. One of the unusual things that adds to Columbus as a capital city, is the grouping here of a majority of the employees of the city, adds to the population by bringing thousands of employees from all the states to the transient population. Excepting Cleveland and Cincinnati, Columbus has several times more visitations than the other cities. Columbus is the third city in population in the state. The city are visited by all those who go on sightseeing tours. Among these are the capitol building, the Deaf and Dumb; Feeble Minded Youth; Insane; Blind; the Ohio State University; and Feeble Square. But Columbus is likewise an industrial city. Columbus-made goods are sold in all the markets of the world, including the department stores. A short time ago a "made in Columbus" exposition was held, the booths being filled with art and factories Square. The revelation of what Columbus actually manufactures was a surprise to the most alert of the factories employed colored men in factories less degree. More where the unions are located. Among the most notable employers are the Kilbourne-Jacobs Company, The Company and the various steel plant. Overcome All Obstacles. The estimated colored population of Columbus is 25,000. Different from most cities, this population is scattered. If the majority were concentrated along a thoroughfare as Central avenue, or business district, Chicago, or Indiana avenue in Indianapolis, few cities would equal Columbus or business district. This, too, dozens of enterprises dot these avenues, and others, showing that real thrift knows no obstacles. affords the opportunity desired from an institution, and the colored students who attend Ohio State University than attend any other state university in the country. The call and the sevy is producing the musical entertainment for Columbus in the hotels, clubs, cafes and schools. There are colored policemen, fremen and school teachers; city, county and state hotels; men, chauffeurs, elevator men, janitors, butlers, teamsters, messengers, delivery men, men in opportunities offered to the industrious. There are more than thirty churches are pastored by men of wide reputation and high Christian attainments, and the workers in the Master's cause, many of whom will be heard from in days to come. The home of Dr. Washington Gladden, the world-known Congregational minister and author; it is the home of the Master's Field, the well known stage folk. It was once the home of William Dean Howell, the author of the novel the other noble men, some called to their Father, and others having taken up new abodes, have conceived their name in the history of Columbus. Race Adjustment. It will not be surprising to know that Columbus, along with the majority of American cities, is the most frequent center. The great influx of desirabiles, together with the depressing spread of colorphobia, have a keenly felt change of favor and resistance to similar conflicts. To meet this situation, the Civic Betterment and Protective Association of Franklin County, has been established to represent the resentative, and thoughtful people. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY-SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50. Attorney Wilbur E. King, second assistant prosecuting attorney, is the lawyer of many people are generous in their thoughts and ways of justice and fair play. He is a lawyer of white people in the world live here. On the other hand, some few of the people are generous in their busy here, as elsewhere, spreading their doctrine of hate, and this condition being felt now as never before. Some of the people are so much to be informed as to be reminded. A gentle reminder is frequently politically speaking, the colored citizen is an important factor in Columbo's case, and he aroused it easily the balance of power. The leaders recognize this fact, and the colonists are aroused. If this year as never before, he is ourber, for the first time in the history of the city, was recently nominated at the House of Representatives, on the House of Representatives, on the Republican ticket. He is John C. He was backed solidly for the people in secret, civic and social organizations. He was backed solidly for the people in secret, civic and social organizations. He is well qualified by education and experience for the position, and his election in November is a matter considerably more than local interest. Knights of Pythians Next. Columbus has always been foremost as a city for entertaining. In this respect it excele Cleveland and Cincinnati, but it has also been the tackling of large propositions, but Columbus does not. The General Conference of the African Methodist Epistle Union, the National Baptist Association, has met here; and next year, 1915, the National Grand Lodge and encampment of the African Methodist Epistle Union. In point of members, the Pythian gathering promises to exceed by thousands, any gathering of colored people in the United States. Also graphic preparations are being made for the great event. Columbus—named for the great discoverer, like him, seeks new lands of gold and silver, and the vitality here which makes the stranger feel like lingering for a while. In front of the fine Union Station a mammoth shed of sign has been placed, and it reads: "Columbus Welcomes You." This spirit pervades the entire community, visitor made welcome, and made to feel at home. Columbus is a great residence city; it is why thousands are coming here to visit. The fortunes of the place. Ohio's capital is as a city upon a hill, and her glories of the past are but for forecast of the possibilities of the future. Columbus—the pathfinder of opportunities. Probably one of the most hopeful signs of success among us is found in the relations of the colored people of Columbus. We are friends, friendly, frank, liberal-minded whosoled people, altogether, lovely to people, frank, liberal-minded whosoled people, altogether, lovely to people can not ask for their treatment or more favorable opinion than they have at the hands of the merchants of Columbus. Privileges of anybody else at such large stores as Lazurus, a cut of whose building is shown here; the street, one of the most reliable firms, over a quarter century old, noted for its honest and square dealing with the business of the Co. in North High street, and other big business establishments.

He much bovored and enjoys the confidence of all classes. W. E. MOORE.

Abong the successful young business men in Columbus, I can point to Mr. Browne, who is with the right kind of qualities in him to guarantee his permanent standing, and who, years ago, but early came to Columbus, at various jobs that a boy could do, such as selling papers, bootblacking, and ornamentation. But he was always a very thirty kind of a young fellow, and began a bank career, failed to add something regular. [Name] ly.

Most gracefully and gradually we are sliding into the ways of winter. By the way, this week was very suggestive of the real thing. Straw hats surrendered by the thousands. Overcoats are doing some scouting. Can't think anything much but war. Well, if war like the one now raging don't get your goat, you may be set down as an arrant imbecile. However, it is not necessary for us to become active participants on this side. The Independent Political League meets in New York City September 7-9. It extends invitation for participation in its deliberations to all churches, lodges, civil rights and litterary societies to send delegates. Address of national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, 131 W. 36th St., New York, N. Y. The physicians, dentists and pharmacists of three states will meet in Indianapolis Sept. 7-9. The physicians of this city and the allied professions are making ready to receive the distinguished visitors. Beyond the helpful clinics of various kind, there will be social functions which will give a festival feature to the visit of the strangers. If Carranza, of Mexico, is the good patriot he says he is, he will gladly agree to step aside and permit his name to go before the country, for president, just the same as the other candidates. Villa may be jealous of Carranza's success, but he is putting the proper dope to him. He demands that Carranza take his chances as the other candidates. The hope of permanent peace rests on fair and candid elections. The death of Pope Plus X, the head of the Catholic church, caused universal sorrow. He became known for his splendid qualities, of head, of heart. He was the admonition of the world for his honest humility. He was born poor; he lived poor, and seemed to think it was no more than his Christly disposition deserved. His life was a victory for his cause, the great cause of Christ as well as that of his particular church. His faith will be fortunate indeed if it finds another with such an excellently ordered life. A letter came to the Freeman office a few days ago saying that a colored man, Fred Huston, recently died in prison at Edmonton, Alta., Canada, leaving $1,800. Nothing is known of relatives so the money remains unclaimed. The writer says that among the men there at the time, 1912, were Ernest Carter, Arthur Golden and Eugene Brown. We know no more of the matter than what we have seen. Are we sure that the tip is straight? We took a chance in publishing what the dead man says, thinking that, perhaps, we might rendering some one a good service. In event relatives of the dead man are found this office will appreciate the information. The great war now raging in Europe is predicted to last at least two years. The military experts may be all right in their calculations, but it strikes us that the world is not prepared to stand a strain of the kind that must come for so long a time. The world would be cleared of practically its total male population in the time, excepting those portions not engaged in the struggle. Only a few countries can stand out. Beyond the countries of North and South America, the states which make them up, the world is fairly at war. Australia is English, Canada is English. Many islands of the seas belong to that country, Africa mainly jointly belongs to the warring factions. Asiatic Russia is of great territorial extent. The English king is Emperor of India. These are only the larger possessions. The world is kaleidoscopic with the possessions of those at war. The English have a sphere of influence in Egypt the French in Algiers, Belgium in the Congo states or elsewhere. It means the extinction, practically, of the male portion of the human family if the war continues two years. Europe had a thirty years' war. If it were this day of high explosives and machine guns, and the rest of it, there would not be a combatant left to tell the tale. TRYING TO MAINTAIN ITS NEU- TRALITY. Information comes from Washington, this week, that Liberia, the Negro republic of Africa, is having trouble in maintaining its neutrality in the present war, as it concerns its wireless and cable stations. That country has appealed to the American government for advice. It is said that France protested against the continued use by Germany of a wireless station in Monrovia. Liberia. Both France and Germany have cables to Monrovia. The Liberian minister to Great Britain has formed the United States through Ambassador Page to suggest a solution for the difficulty. It is regarded as probable that when the United States finally settles its own cable-wireless controversy, a copy of the decision will be transmitted to the Liberian government for reference. While our government has acted somewhat as a protectorate of Liberia, there is no true relation of the kind. That country claims the sympathy and protection of the United States for more than half of the Liberian people are originally from this country; and they were set up in government by people from this country. We have no opinion of what should be our government's attitude in event belligerents took advantage of Liberia's situation, persisting in using the wireless stations in defiance of protests. This, however, it shows that George Washington was wise, or builted better than he knew when he advised against territorial expansion. We have done a little of it in spite of our weakness. We can very clearly at this time what the possibility is, because of what has been done. It is very easy to become "messed" up if we have a lot of possessions lying around in various parts of the world. THE UNITED STATES NEGRO LEADS. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in his address before the Negro Business Association, in 1925. "Hon John L. Morris, the Secretary of the Treasury of the Republic of Liberia, a man who has come into contact with black people in many parts of the world, after meeting our people in this country and nearly every section for several weeks, remarked to me that the Negro in America is making more progress than anywhere else in the world. I state this not to tempt us to swell with pride, but that we may note the responsibility that rests upon us and to cause us to double our efforts." The noted educator, doubtless, made the statement as a matter of authority and emphasis. It is much better to have the good things said by non-partisan observers than by ourselves. It is the natural thing for individuals to see themselves superior to others. Races, nations, are constantly asserting their claims to superiority over other races, nations. Even so poor a race as our own assert claims to superiority over the white race in some particulars. And in some particulars the assertions are sustained. We sing as a race, we dance as a race. We are more apt on musical instruments than the races about us. We are better. Perhaps in a few more respects we outclass the white people as a whole. Peoplehes have some sense of their actual standing in the eyes of the world. But the tendency is to exaggerate it, just as the merchant often exaggerates the value of his goods; he wishes to make a good impression. But when the praise comes unsolicited and from those not especially concerned, it may be relied on. The point is to make it clear that we know of our importance over other Negro groups wherever they may be, but the assertion is not assuring unless generally admitted. So when Mr. Morris, of Liberia, concedes that the United States Negroes are in the lead he merely emphasizes our claim. What he says is that he has already knew. But he knows the value of putting forward the conclusions of others, and especially those of persons that count. It may sound painful to say that the Negroes of this country have no near rivals among peoples of their kind. And this is true in spite of what is held to be the great race question, the greatest, most perplexing, so considered, that the world has ever known. And out of this great truth arises this question: Has persecution, or what we feel to be persecution, made the Negro race what it is today? And this question follows: Are we "ethnologically" slothful when left alone. The questions, admittedly, are almost indictments, yet indictments are not convictions. The questions are suggested out of the vast difference between the development of the United States Negro and those of elsewhere. We had something to say last week of Hayti, which seems content in being merely on the map. It has no excuse for lying there, amid warm seas, salubrious climate, without giving a good account of itself. Liberia is different. That country is without opportunity in the best sense. To live at all is something for Liberia. Yet to live gloriously is not beyond a possibility. It is far from contact with civilization, thus it is narrowed nearly to nothing when it comes to exchange of commodities—commerce. It is not given to any one country to have all the essentials to a successful people. Manufacturing and art call for material from various sources, and which isolated communities cannot furnish. Hayti, Cuba, Porto Rico can not hide behind the screen of the lack of opportunity. They are in touch with the world, at its very best. Besides, nature has been, and is, indulgent. They have never known civil oppression as we have known it. Hayti has always had its free class of Negroes—the mulattoes. The blacks have been free from the days of Tousant L'Ovence—long before our civil war. To us, it appears, that it makes a studious effort to be obscure, and perhaps that is its policy of preservation; on the theory that "death" loves a shining mark. We rather think it has no such deep laid philosophic scheme of preservation. It is civil and industrial obtuseness or density, and which has not been rarefied in the refining crucible. We do not Kugweg that those countries be born that they may come up as we came up. We know this, that wrapped up in our degradation, and death if you choose to call it, were also our salvation and life. IN CHOOSING THE BEST YOU'LL CHOOSE THE FREEMAN.
