The Masonic Convention which conceived last Monday had a brilliant outlook on Tuesday when Hon. Julius Rosenwald honored the delegation with a banquet dinner at Sears Roebuck & Co.'s building. Covers were laid for 50%, and the quality of the bill of fare was of a kind which deference does to kings, queens and noblemen of titled ancestry in countries foreign to American custom. And in view of their distinguished brotherhood and merit as an Order of exceptional fraternal Colored men, the highest esteem of respect that any gentleman could bestow upon a body of American citizens is a humanitarian gift.

Every Colored community should form a group and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D. C., in one of the largest rights leagues, whose branches hold up this cause, but in not enough places. Through the congress or league these Equal Rights Committees—the very same group we have actually connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress. Thus without any interference with existing rights, we can preserve historical record and by self-help and spirit retain a valid claim before mankind to Equality of Rights. Actually, we can retain the rights of the William Monroe Trotter. GOVENOR HUGHES TO SPEAK IN NASHVILLE (Nashville, Tenn., Special). That the Republicans have a good chance to carry Tennessee in the coming election for President is the being appointed Committee, as evidenced by the fact that it has billed Gov. Hughes, the Republican nominee, to speak in the convention of that party for President he has been elected to. The railroads have announced reduced rates from all points in the state, and it is expected that the largest crowd that ever attended a speaking in the capital will be on hand. Ryman Audubon commode about 6,000 people, and it is believed that it will not begin to hold the crowd that is expected to watch.

Keper, assistant secretary of the central association, took A. H. Howard's hand and handed it to H. H. said part: "During the eleven years that I have known Mr. Taylor, I do not recall one time when he has seemed less discouraged than one of the work. His least success was one of the characteristics of the man. I know that Mr. Godard considers Mr. Taylor at the head of the Colored secretaries of the country, and that he seems to belong to that his work will be a success wherever he may go." Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethlehem Church, which Taylor is a member, said: "It is a long way from the small rented building in California and North streets to this magisterial church, and the way has been marked by consecrated effort and service to the community. The church has had no great friend, and the church has been a force for the moral uplift and spiritual development of the Colored people of Indiana and Missouri, and feeder for the church. He has directed his efforts Aaron William, whom we thought had made his get-away troop, was the county jail for the murder of Walter Newman, December 25th is now behind him. He would have been far as Chicago or some other northern state by this time but failed to do so. He would have been in just one block of the sheriff's home, three blocks from the jail. It is not known if he was killed him as the judge will have to pass new sentence on him. We hope that he won't go to the gallows.

He urged a deeper consciousness of the moral obligation devolving on the Colored people to take action against the oppressors and praise DeFrantz for the attitude he has always taken toward his duties. Grateful for Advice. Miss Viola Chaplin, secretary of the Colored branch of the W. Y. W. C. A., expresses her gratitude for the timely arrival of the Indianapolis to shortly after her arrival in the city, and said that she expected the support to build up the W. Y. W. C. A. An address was made by George L. Knox, for years president of the branch of the association, which had only seventeen members at the time Taylor more closely associated with Taylor than any member of the committee of management and knew of the many personnel involved in the work here. He emphasized the fact that the cause should be larger than the individual, and that the Colored branch should together if the association in the future is to accomplish the good for which it is committed. A. H. Godard, who is in New York, expressing regret that he could not 1920 present, and the hope that the men would rise to work. Mrs. C. J. Walker, formerly of this city, now of New York, briefly expressed her confidence in what Taylor has accustomed to do in the societies of the association. She pledged her continued financial support for the work in New York, where she said his success was important. In responding Taylor asked for the continued interest of the people of Indianapolis, and their prayers for the success of the work. Taylor also asked for the lived history of the association. "This building is the result of prayers," he said. "God put his faith in us, and it is possible for the young men of Indianapolis to enjoy these privileges." He expressed his faith in the ability to carry on the work here successfully. Watch Given to Taylor. Why not try the Freeman with your advertisement, it will pay you in the meantime.

The spirit of the citizens of the two Kansas Cities in extending hospitalization and expressions of gratitude from the visitors and on all sides there was evidence of the League in their city.

Famous Indianapolis Racing Team MANY a man has owned a team of horses which have possessed extreme speed, but few men have owned a team of race cars which can better 100 miles an hour on the big speedways of the country. James A. Allison, secretary-treasurer of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, however, is one of the men who can lay claim to this distinction. He owns a fleet of race cars and races them for his own enjoyment. The four white Maxwells which are looked after by Eddie Rickenbacher, team captain, are shown in the photograph. They are fast and have won many races under the guidance of Rickenbacher and Henderson. The cars are known as the Prest-O-Lite Racing Team. The insert above the cars shows James A. Allison, manager and owner of the team. The other insert shows Eddie Rickenbacher, team captain and star driver, who just recently won the big race at Tacoma. Two of the cars are expected to enter the Harvest Auto Racing Classic which will be held on the Indianapolis Speedway, September 6. National Negro Business League National Negro Business League (Concluded from Page One) first evening of our annual meetings, always encouraged us with a word of good cheer, sounded a vibrant note of optimism, and cordially expressed to us, and through us to the migro people of the United States, his warmest congratulations upon the achievements of the twelve months before. Oh, how we miss him tonight! ou who knew him as man and as friend, what Kipling meant when he said: "There is neither East nor West, Bor- stern." Border, nor Breed nor Birth. When two strong men stand face to face, the they come from the ends of the Earth. He gripped men to him with hooks of steel. He loved and was loved of men. In if my efforts to speak worthily of you, I will be grateful to his great and useful life, I know I shall have your forbearance, for it will be this, composed of those who knew him, and loved him, and trusted him, and mourn, passing, beheld, be yourself to, hear him at all. These are the days of preparedness. The world welters in an orgy of men, and hear martial strains calling men to duty, to defense of country, and to defend the earth and rocks. There are on every side searchings of heart, admonitions, uncertainties. We know not what a day is, and military hero is the man of the hour. The man whose name and fame we tonight celebrate, the glory of whose life we will remember, was fried upon his breast no Iron Cross, nor medal of the Legion of Honor, and yet he could have, like Heine, exchanged his life for that of placed upon my coffin, for I have been a soldier in the war for the liberation of humanity! Our friend was killed in the war for the liberation of humanity! When the world's tokens of affection and respect were laid upon his bible, we were told that his tribute was that this man had Emmett J. Scott spent himself for his fellows. Well did Henry Watterson, Southerner of New York, and his friend Washington is a national misfortune, for his life was a national benefaction. His hovering figure, of fire to lead his people out of the darkness of ignorance, indolence and error. He was the Negro's wise and benevolent friend. He devoted his life, every day of it, every energy of it, to bringing the Negro real free celebrating citizenship. His work, great in its purpose, great in its results, was monumental. The embodiment of this expression from Henry Watterson was that of the Sage of Sagamore Hill, the militant incarnate evangel of the Negro States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than had ever done, and who in doing so also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land My friends, it is worth while to have lived and to have deserved such a privilege. The Southern man of lineage and distinction, the other from a Northern man of lineage, was deed was it when this Northern white man and a company of men of great prominence, the heart of the South, testify by their presence and their speech their appreciation of the life they have wisely lived by our leader and friend. There have been those who have sought to read into Mr. Washington's role in the war, and Roosevelt's estimate. That is why he have ventured to bring to your attention this just evaluation of the spirit which characterized him, his personal nature, not servility. Let us my friends remember him as Guide, Philosopher, Friend, unspoiled by the great honors which him received in the room for personal vanity, or weakness. He was the type of leader who saw fundamentals clearly. Despite his ambition, he ashamed to hold that each individual must acquire his own basic character, those qualities and fundamental virtues which make him a useful memoir, and the powerful poseful work. Industry and thrift were the gospel which our great leader and prescheduled and practiced with a vigor year he thundered from the platform of the National Negro Business the thundered from the platform of the Negro is to win his way permanently. His message fell on eager ears, and he lived forth and demanding a "place in the sun" with resulting results, triumphing over difficulties. Do you not recall those thrilling words at Boston last year—Boston rose to accclaim him when he stood on the platform of Symphony Hall this one year ago? At that time he said: "With our race, as it has been and always will be with all races without exception, it is hardly possible to have educational and religious growth and political freedom. An owe of application is worth of obeasure. We must not be afraid to pay the price for success—the price of sleepless nights, the price of toil when we are tired, the price of day for tomorrow, this year for next year. If some one else endures the hardships, does the thinking, and does the harvest and play the reward. To accomplish what we have indicated to have a unique set of men who are big enough and broad enough to forget and overlook personal and local differences and each of them will secure all that he holds for the benefit of the race and our country. . . . No matter how poor you are, how hard you must secure present work and position, each one to remember that there is a chance for him, and the more difficult he is to come, the greater will be his success. In these words are to be found the tacit belief that God has the credit of our race that it has been willing to listen and to follow his will. God has always spoken to who always spoke for truth and justice; "who knew wisdom and valued truth; who valued justice and valued not wisdom less." Our friend was a man of vision. His life was a life of triumph, a real triumph of courage, and a sort of democracy itself. The picture the newly-freed slave sleeping under a wooden pavement in Richmond, Virginia, together as he best could, with a burning thirst for education and a desire to together with his achievements of his lifetime and the triumphs of his marvelous career, prove that in truth his story of his rise from slavery reads like some stirring romance. He may be a servitude, and servitude, with their discouraging handicaps, could offer. We may be a slave, and we may be a colin a Garfield, a Douglass, to penny and to struggle, and yet, as a great orator has said, "poverty is a hard tune denies the luxuries of wealth, she makes greater compensation in life, can ever know who have faced privations together. The child may shiver in the fury of the blast which will tear upon his cheek which will have covered his hair. It is not wealth that counts in the making of a character is best formed amid those surroundings where every waking hour is filled with struggle, where no flag so bold as democracy, and only darkness stains the conflict." Thank God that this is true. Who knows but his life is so wonderful and achievement might have been lost to us if he had not met and vanquished discouragement after discouragement; in the game struggle of poverty; in the game unfalteringly, with serene courage toward the goal which must have seized, but a dim mirage at the beginning. The secret of Mr. Washington's success in life—if indeed there was no failure, no failing optimism, his dogged determination, his resolve to permit no objection, his determination of numerous occasions that he was absolutely above insult or humiliation. No disappointment could discourage him. If it were necessary, or time permitted, examples all too numerous could be cited in proof of this state of affairs. For example, of his race everywhere could but catch some portion of his sweet spirit, for he was in every part of this country. For us in every part of this country there would dawn that new and better day for which our fathers and our fathers' fathers have worked and sung for us. Mr. Washington had faith in his race. He looked on every Negro he encountered, and dwelt industry, honesty and the domestic virtues, as a center of hope and safety for the race. It was his work that helped him see thousands of homes founded by the men and women for whose schooling and manhood and womanhood he had worked. He has passed on to us, so that it is now our task to work as earnestly as possible, more and better Negro homes, for more and better Negro schools, for more and better Negro business enterprises for a higher level of civilization. I must not fail to speak of that large and important service rendered by the brave blot out sectional animosities, of interpreting one race to the other. He has braved the blot out sectional animosities, of interpreting one race to the other. He has sought to overcome racial misunderstandings, racial injustices, racial prejudices. Nothing could embody that no man could drag him down so low as to make him hate that man. He could not make him hate that man. racial co-operation and racial good will. He came to be the one beacon of hope who had been groping in a world of uncertainty and doubt. The most impressive thing, in my opinion, was his intenience earnestness in seeking to have white men understand black men and stand white men. And I thank God that as his sense of things faded he was able to understand that his labors had not been in vain, that largely through his efforts during the past twenty years, there exists a standing between the races, a growing feeling of respect for the rights of all people, a finer spirit of mutual helpfulness. Booker Washington loved his native Southland. When the light of the eternal morning gilded his brown hair, he met his father, who danced precociously he prepared for the long journey which was to bring to an end his earthly career. He wished to bear out his oft-repeated statement that he had been born in the south; had lived and labored in the north; had been buried and be buried in the South. It could be said of him, as it was said of Abraham whether he stood in that giant-like repose that distinguished him among his fellows in exquisite sculpture unseen under powerful hands which made foremost figure of the world, he always felt the tender and invisible rock. In whatever field he stood he felt the benign and sobering influence of his early recollections. They were the anchor which kept his head to the wind, the balm which sustained him in the hour of triumph. Mr. Washington loved his race. He preached in season and out of season, he helped dis-illustrate self-salvation, the history of the officers in his history of races or individuals that permanently count, or endure. Though most often was heard pleading in the bar of public opinion for his race, for "fair play," for a "square deal." If most often was heard pleading in the spirit, that he stood at Atlanta; that he stood at the unveiling of Shaw's deathless monument on Boston Common, the dull monument of the dullest editorium before President and Cabinet and the mighty of the land at the close of the Spanish-American War: the shades of Old Harvard to receive the first honorary degree conferred by that institution on one of his race, the first honorary degree conferred by a thousand platforms, throughout the country as the tribune of his race, pleading for humanity and justice, giving voice to the inarticulate educations of the moral and moral aspirations of a race. Mr. Washington was a deeply religious man. He believed in, trusted, and loved him, but was not too great, and never too busy to turn to the thumb-worn copy of Holy Writ which was his invariable, and which he heard him, with face aglow and faith-revealing expression, quote his two favorite passages of scripture? whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good interest, whatsoever there be any and there be any praise, think on these things". And that other one: "that the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. He could only prevail upon his race to "think on these things", no law, or laws, could prevail against them. We here simply to mourn his loss, to chronicle the details of his busy, overtime achievements, and the many high honors which came to him, and through him, to us? Or are we here to learn some lessons from his inspiring trumpet." Our hearts do indeed sorrow with that brave companion who labored by his side, and who lovingly living his life as best she could of daily fret and care. We do sorrow with his life, and we hold who miss the joy of his presence, the tonic of his fatherly voice. We all miss him, here and everywhere, and we sense the sense of loneliness, its cravings for his presence. I loved him as the son loves the father in whom he sees the world, the world in which he nereed wisdom and experience. He taught me by his daily life that it is for one's higher self. I owe him much. I shall never cease to recall his sweet, tranquil spirit, the charm of his life, the zest of the joy of work, his love for, and faith in his fellow-man. I shall never forget his self-sacrifice, his self denial, his But he is gone. The lighted torch he carried now passes to our hands. The work he has done was not an unprofitable servant. He gave to his race and to his country all of physical and mental rigor; he could give no more bounty than the most fruitful years of his life were spent in behalf of his fellows. His life will shine with steady Ladriana to the ears and go and be heartened to the cars and the souls for brave, patriotic service; let us press forward, strong and unfaired, for the lessons of his devoted life ever before us, to advance the cause for which he was willing to live, for he was willing to die, finally, for which he was willing to die.

NIGHT SPECTACLE AT INDIANA FAIR Gorgeous Pageant to Celebrate Hoosier Centennial. Gorgeous Pageant to Celebrate Hoosier Centennial. The most gorgeous night spectacle of the Indiana centennial year will be the historical pageant that will be given at the state fair the week of Sept. 4. It will, in fact, be the most extensive outdoor display that has been undertaken in the history of the state and on stupendous scale it will accurately review the important episodes before and since the formation of the Indiana commonwealth. It will, too, be the outstanding night display of the Indiana centenary, in which hundreds of costumed characters will take part, including a band of 100 genuine Indians, pioneer settlements will be set up, towns will grow, and tragedies of the wars in which Indiana had conspicuous part will be enacted. A stage 500 feet long, appropriately set with Indiana scenic effects, will be used for the vivid history pictures, and this brilliant portrayal of Hoosier history will end with the most dazzling display of fireworks that has ever been given in Indiana. The spectacle will be staged by J. Saunders Gordon, of St. Louis, who began preparations for it last April, when he started probing Hoosier history for the most important episodes, and, in addition to the massed groups of French explorers, pioneer settlers, Indians, soldiers, characters impersonating the men who won the Hoosier wilderness from the Indians and from the French and developed it into the prosperous land that it is today, will take part. LeSalle, the first of the French explorers; Col. Hamilton, British commander at Fort Vincennes; Gen. George Rogers Clark, the hero of pioneer Indiana; Gov. William Henry Harrison; Tecumseh, the Indian prophet Allen Wiley, the first circuit rider; President Abraham Lincoln, stopping in Indianapolis on his way to Washington; Morton, the war governor; Gen. Lew Wallace; Col. Shuler, the pursuer of the Morgan raiders, all have prominence in the action of this stirring centennial review. The spectacle will review Indiana history by periods. The first will show the Indians in their daily life before the white man came; the coming of LaSalle and his French followers into the unbroken forest and the starting of the first log settlement; the coming of the emigrants and the building of the stockade of Fort Kaskaskia. The second period reviews the war of British and Indians against the settlers, the conference of Tecumseh with Gen. Harrison and the great battle with the Indians at Tippecanoe. The third period illustrates the formation of the new state at Corydon and the meeting of the first Hoosier legislature. The fourth period tells the stirring story of the first religious work in Indiana, the building of the first church at Corydon. The fifth period reviews the part Indiana had in the Civil war, how the Hoosiers received the word of secession and how they rallied and marched to the front under the Union colors. One of the most thrilling scenes of the pageant will show Morgan's raid in southern Indiana and his retreat before the forces of Col. Schuler. McDONALD, PA.

Will Hold Annual Conference in Douglass Anaheim in Florida Condition Special to The Freeman. NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 30.-Bishop Phillips, the distinguished prelate of the C. M. E. church, will visit Golden West, his itinerary will cover New Mexico, Arizona and California, where he goes to inspect the church in Douglas, Ark. September 27. Bishop Phillips is styled the "missionary bishop" of his church he having successfully established a missionary church in states where a colored church was an unknown quantity. Advices from California indicate that the churches are prosperous and the ministers will make excellent reports at the confer- It will be recalled that Bishop Phillips raised $3,000 during the Educa- tion program, and he is the founder of Paducah, Ky., the latter part of July. This money will be used to further education in the schools and churches otherwise in debt. When it is considered that the fourth episcopal parish in the city has any of his colleagues, he is easily classed as the "Money King" bishop of his church. Bishop Phillips will deliver several important sermons and lectures throughout the west and he will be heard of by many people, including profit, Wilberforce, University keenly appreciated the worth of Bishop Phillips to the race and at the commencement last June conferred upon him the honor of being in Kentucky executing church duties and the honor came to him as an agreeable surprise. On two occasions he dresses in different parts of Europe that elicited favorable comment from the press and public. He has also been entertained by mixed audiences. The Golden West always extends Bishop Phillips a cordial welcome and he will be elaborately entertained. He will return to Nashville during the early part of October. Rev. W. F.

A Record-Holder Gil Anderson, the Norse Viking of the speed game, will be seen in the Harvest Auto Race Classic to be run on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, September 9. The race will be held in which he be stands alone in speed annals. He drove the Stutz car 350 miles in the Metropolitan Cup race in 1915 at an average speed of 102.56 miles an hour. It is of speed experts through the country and is intended for a long time: Not because of the inability of a car to go faster, but principally on account of the inability of drivers to withstand the terrific strain. In the metropolitan, those Vikings who sailed the seas before America was known, endured the awful speed for those 350 miles; how, no one knows. It is a fact, however, that he and his mechanician had to be lifted out of the car and carried to their pits when the race was over, and that after possible Anderson's fingers had to be pried loose from the wheel. His entire history stamps him as a great driver and he was second in the championship award in 1915, his teammate Cooper just missing him out. He was the only driver who race in Indianapolis will add greatly to the interest of the event. THEO. SMITH'S DRUG STORE. The Greatest and Only Negro Mail Order House in the United States.

Motley, 614 Fulton street THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PREPARATIONS AND WHY YOU SHOULD BE AN AGENT. Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a success. We have introduced. They always take the leadership in every city or town where they result. Our goods and methods in treating the scalp are known to be far superior to any other system on the Our agents are all successful and have little trouble in building up a team. We are a team of agents we teach them more about the care of the scalp than just washing and drying it. We understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their scalp is cared for, our agents are able to explain to them WHY their hair acts and the cause of such actions. When our agents use a scalp cream we are concerned concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't care about the scalp, but they know at a glance at the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition Some people are of the opinion that the scalp does not grow the other. The trouble lies in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp is not treated the treatment the hair is forced to grow. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of cream. It is important, many is why they fall. Our shampoo softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of dandruff, and makes the scalp. It clears the scalp of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the scalp, and we treat the scalp of tetter and eczema, so when a customer comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can be able to cure it without any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to customers, so they must be offered to cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial test, for give assorted terms. Those desiring the assay seal for terms. Address all mall to Mme. T. G. Brennan, 41 N. West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Wood, of Danville, Ky., has an additional distinction added to him. He is now General Moderator of the Kentucky Baptists. The genial gentleman is also editor of the "Torchlight," a well known Kentucky publication. The twenty-fifth anniversary of "The Afro-American" of Baltimore, the issue of last week, was a good appearing number. A whole page was devoted to the educational progress of a quarter of a century, and which has to do with the schools of Baltimore. Other valuable information was given, much of which was illustrated by the likeness of individuals and places. In all respects the number was a worthy effort and a right effort if we would keep in line with the march of civilization. The picture of the hanging of three men and two women would make a very grewse spectacle—very. Excuse us from such scenes. Pictures are meant to bring to the mind as nearly the objects as possible. Who wishes to see hangings? The individual is to be preserved, and will not be preserved by the detoning of his finer nature. Of course, the object is to infuse sympathy that it can go to. The War is louder than the first alarm. Let us have no more such exhibitions. They are fatal to our own existence Misses Eather E. Fowler and Ruth M. Fowler, daughters of Dr. Charles H. Fowler, of Baltimore, graduated with the 1916 class of Howard University in pharmacy. They will open a drug store in Baltimore. The young ladies are attractive appearing as well as learned. They also seem to have the business essentials, level headedness, foresight, tact and deter-mentation. We judge all of this by the likenesses of their handsome figures seen in the Afro-American of Balti- more. We hope we are not mistaken. The race needs such women and men; they help care for the race—the floating young men and women who expect to do, and are prepared to do better things than found at their hands. There is room in every considerable community of colored people for young women and young men to enter commercial life. They can do so in a small way at least. And with intelligent conduct the reward is sure even if modest. New York Negroes also think of putting forward one of their own number for Congress. It is no bad idea, for as long as the race holds aloof from the higher political consideration the more difficult it becomes to acquire it. Custom is often stronger than law. England has more than one "law" which came about by crystalization. In time the practice of sidetracking the Negroes, if permitted to continue uninterrupted, will become a custom that will not easily bend. We do not wish to urge anything that will disturb the peace of the people, our peace is to be conserved in the larger urban and political activities it will have to break up that deadly calm of stagnation that is surely setting in about us. In a few more years a Negro in Congress will be merely a thing of which to dream. Men will laugh at the absurdity. They laugh now, and as if such things, honors and rewards, went to orders of men, and of which we are not. John Brown Day was observed in connection with the unveiling of a bronze tablet in honor of the hero of Ossawatonie at North Elba, New York, August 23. Among those who spoke on the occasion were Rabbi Stephen Wise, of New York; Mr. Frank Sainborn, of Boston; Mr. Oswald Villard Garrison, editor of the New York Evening Post, and Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, Willem Miller, of the memory of John Brown be kept alive, and by choice spirits of the nation. In doing so his suffering and death is shown forth and as they were associated with the cause. A tabernacle, in a manner, was built—in covenant with one another that the old order has passed away for ever. John Brown was a rebel according to the laws of men. But men transcended the natural laws, fixing metes and bounds for other men, consequently they were no less than rebels themselves, even if not so apparent. John Brown, therefore, belonged to a number of civil sisters alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Gordon, Lovejoy and others who passed through blood and flames to make this day possible. BALANCING HUMAN ACCOUNTS. What we call the bad woman and bad man are more ready with their tears and pocketbooks than those who occupy the amen corners of churches, very often. It is a strange ordering of nature, and then again it seems reasonable enough; the outcasts, as they are called, regardless of the white lights, the glitter and glare of their peculiar society, on the morrow, are sick and softened at their own sins. Their hearts become melow, and as if in the effort of evening up their hearts so go in charity and love. They give their dollars where others give their pennies. In our own race where they suffer twice—as members of a race that knows the stings of the proud man's contempt—as members of society outside the pale they are beautiful in their sympathy and cheer for those in distress. Men speak of honor among thieves, and the idea is liked among us, and are applauded. Generosity likewise is strong among those of which we speak, and it is liked and applauded—the oasis of their barren life. It appears that God has locked up in man a full rounded nature, and from which he can not escape. If he stands out unduly in some faculty, it is made up elsewhere by a corresponding loss of quality. It is like bookkeeping and final reports; the figures are there, and will balance right if manipulated rightly. If not manipulated wrongly, it much at the expense of the lesser. Thus the wayward man or woman being long on the immoral side looms up in generosity, charity, suffering for those that suffer. They distance the well-to-do and good in these things; they give away all, very often, taking no account of their own needs. They watch and attend the sick with poetical fidelity. They shower the dead with flowers, those emblems which own them apart from their lives. In short they will not let wretchedness exist if they can wipe it out, while the better world marches on undisturbed. This may not be the whole story of these miserables, but it is the story in part. They do not find it possible to destroy the wholeness which God has set up in every man. The mountain peaks are lowered in the average owing to the presence of the valleys. This is the sweetening effect of their lives, the wholeness which was in the beginning, and which makes for a tolerable existence—the balancing of human accounts. THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. The seventeenth annual session of the National Business League has been pronounced a great success. The representatives, this year, were mostly from the South and Middle West. While this fact does not appear so assuring as to the future of the league, yet when it is remembered that these representatives came from the greater business interests there is reason for thinking that the grand old organization will tramp right along with success. The touch of the "wizard" which called the league into being was absent, but the mantle, as it were, fell to other shoulders, and which from all accounts will not readily be tossed aside. As it was thought, Emmett J. Scott, who for many years was associated with the late Dr. Washington, was unanimously supported by the nominating committee as the logical successor to the presidency of the league. This was a splendid endorsement for the secretary, and of which he was worthy. Dr. Washington long since had laid hands on him, calling him to his assistance, and Dr. Washington rarely erred in his valuation of men. Mr. Scott declined the distinguished honor, insisting he be more useful to us. We continued owing to the tender of the sought honor. Through it other men than Dr. Washington were seen to be alive to his fitness, and who did not fail when the time came to show forth their appreciation. The selection of J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., is a happy one. He stood next as a matter of choice to Mr. Scott. And this law of natural selection, if we may so call it, is a good augury—the office selecting the man is that ideal which is the best guarantee of content. And content means the absence of friction, thus assuring somewhat the longevity of causes and institutions, owing to the even tenor of their ways. Mr. Napier is an individual of distinction and worth. He was Dr. Washington's friend; a banker, and at one time register of the United States treasury at Washington. He has proven a splendid race man, following the league through all of its vicissitudes, visiting wherever it visit, serving faithfully others, and graduating both the league and Mr. Napier. We hope that they may long continue useful to the Nerro race. The league has no reason to die, unless it is succeeded by lesser bodies and which answer better the purposes of the present organization. It has no reason to go down unless white organizations, trades unions and so forth abolish the color line, thus admitting all men to the benefits of the color line. If the league derives from groups of the kind, Then, in reason, if the league fails in perpetuating itself in view of such a necessity as this of the present day it is expected to send forth from its ashes the greater thing or be caught up in the meshes of an undivided citizenship—the various trades organizations of the country. If it is otherwise, the demise will no less be caused by the intelligent conduct of business among us, in the better sense. The splendid address in memory of Dr. Washington by Mr. Scott will be seen elsewhere in this issue. Those who knew and loved the great, sincere man will feel a nearness again to him when they pursue Mr. Scott's mission. He will be one who spoke of the Lord we imagine there were those who listened and said, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" How beautifully sensed were his expressions of one whom he knew as a son a father, exhibiting a mingled feeling of endearment arising from his exquisite hopes, accomplishments, all of which were in the name of his race. Dr. Washington had a feeling of deep solicitude for the progress of the National Negro Business League. When Charles Summer was on his deathbed it is said of him that among his last words were: "Do not let my Civil Rights Bill fall." It is easy to imagine that Dr. Washington was a scion of the league, and which was not merely a faddish organization, but one according to the correct principles of commercialism and professions, as known in the countries of higher civilization—consequently a necessity. THE ANNUAL NEGRO ENCYCLO PEDIA. No better prepared or more comprehensive annual comes to hand than the Negro Year Book, issued regularly by the publishing company of the uskege Institute, its composer being Monge Institute, its composer being that great normal and industrial school. The vowel just out is in all respects equal to its predecessors. It covers every phase of Negro ac- activity in the United States, reviews progress in all lines, discusses grievances, collects the economic and social problems, educational statistics and political questions as they relate to the page. Under this last head is noted the attitude of the Democratic administration in the matter of discriminating against Negroes, and the address of the National Equal Rights League at its meeting last December which urged Negroes not to support President Wilson in the coming election is quoted. In addition and educational progress are noted along many lines. Much of this advance is in the South, where there is a disposition among white men many quarters to encourage Negroes in their efforts at betterment of conditions. An interesting feature is a list of towns and settlements in the United States populated and governed almost entirely by Negroes. The most of these towns are small Jackson, is with 5,000 population, 1,000 of whom are whites, being the largest and Boley, Okla., with 9,000 Negroes, the Much space is given to business. There are 43,000 Negro business enterprises of various sorts, many of them owned by African American enterprise is insurance, which is widely invested in by members of the race. Seventy-five pages are devoted to a description of the work of 947 men who affect Negroes, and 100 pages of new matter on general lines are added. The book is a very useful and interesting compilation of the work of 947 men who affect Negroes, and 100 pages of new matter on general lines are added. From the Indianapolis Star.

After fighting ten of the fastest rounds of his entire career, Leo Johnson, the Colored lightweight sensation, emerged from the fray between he and Harlem Patsy Cline, which was staged at Eddie McMahon's Empire, A.C. on last Thursday night, with a margin so wide that only such writers who chronicle sporting events on the New York dailies, could fail to tell the truth about. They are by race prejudice, these writers require nothing more than a fairly close contested mixed bout, for them to render unreliable. The white boxer, Referee Florie Barnett, was another factor in this bout "irish fighter" in keeping the rounds down to a semblance of evenness, of the unpredictable actions directed against the Colored boy, which resulted in Leo being thrown into such a position as to be easily knocked out with Kline been possessed There was never a clinch between the boxers during the whole bout, that the referee failed to give his undisclosed decision to Johnson. As many as four distinct times (we took pains to make careful note of this), Barnett grabbed the boxer and whirling completely off-balance across the ring, and at the same moment motioning to Kline to follow up the advance, the boxer was boxed. Another very plausible reason for Kline obtaining such a complete newspaper verdict over Johnson, was probably that the boxer has been engaged for a substitute by the Welsh-White promoters, which bout takes place on Labor Day, or that the boxer is or was or White, should by any chance either one fail to make his appearance. Even with this very remote opportunity of winning, the boxer could be to one or the other, isn't it reasonable to assume that even this chance would be cut abruptly off, if the daily newspapers had given the decision against To the unbiased observer at the ringside, his opinion could only swing in the opposite direction, a moment was the Colored boy in the slightest trouble. While on the other hand he made his opponent back up to him, he was in the middle of which he sent in to the other's stomach for four rounds out of the ten. In the same round Leo begun a flash of regulation, and he gathered into the hearts of the Irish battler's handlers and consternation into the breasts of every Kline roote gathered over the heart of the seldom done before, and he brought so much fastness and fight in Kline's direction that horrific scarlett, he refereed must have done for he used his fast waning strength herociously in efforts of breaking the fighters when they came into a clinch, and he must have the effort to retire the Colored boxer. Either the Colored boxers or their managers or both, should make it easier for them to receive services cannot be used whenever Florie Barnett is sent in the ring to referee. His actions toward Colored boxers have been criticized for the position vacated by Kid McPartland at the Harlem Sporting Club, has been so viciously nasty, that it is a great wower to watch. The boxing charges of favoritism before the boxing commission a long time ago. TOMMY COLEMAN, EDDIE (KID DORSEY AND BATTLEM MIL LER ALL VICTORS IN BOUTS HELD LAST NIGHT. In the absence of the New York daily newspaper reporters, who were out at Washington Park attending the New York City baseball man, the Philadelphia comet, dropped into the Harlem Sporting Club on last Friday evening and gave to one Jimmy Coleman a piece of art of "how to hit and how not to get hit", that he has received since the first day the White boxer drew on a resembles but little the Tommy Coleman couple of years ago. Notwithstanding his aged appearance, the Colored lad stepped with much of his old time form, which was enough to keep the "pitch" enveloped in a maze of飞iles. Eddie Dorsey Defeats Young Fulton. On the same night and at the same time, the international Quaker City Colored lightweight met and defeated Young Fulton, a white lightweight, who has shown extraordinary promise during the past few years. He is the best boys in the country, Dorsey, like Leo Johnson, was unfortunate enough to draw Florrie Barnett as his wife. With her more careful in his tugging tactics he uses on Colored boxers, Barnett nevertheless managed to handicap Dorsey in the off balance during the many times he interfered during the times of a clinch.

The fluffy young person, with the clairty face and complexion, lofty size and charm, who sat directly in front of us on the occasion of our last week's visit to the Lafayette School, gave delight over Andrew Bishop's powerful portrayal of Sir Conan Doyle's master detective creation, Sherlock Holmes. He is well known for his wit with the great novel, 'The Sign Of The Four', it was positively amazing how well Bishop and the other players knew him. Time, don't let it happen, save him!"—excitement. But he and the rest of the company did it. And that's the Miss Inez Clough. Mr. Will A. Cooke— Is leading a rather strenuous life just at present. His ability to step out of a role of laugh-getting comedy in one week, and transcend to the stately role of a teacher, is another, is proving his immense worth as a member of the Colored players. Miss Buth Carr We first watched her play in "The Price". That marked her first time to play, and she was very confident. Yet even then, she gave evidence of acting that bore every ear-mark of the audience. She played the week she played in one of the very important roles in "The Sign of the Tiger". She was the director intended it to be played. Each line which was given to her in this play was played without a miss. Each and every business allotted to her to do, was done so that no fault could be found anywhere. Miss Carr possesses the power of vocal utterance, and she never became in the art of handling this power. She has made good from the start and we have seen her never become so inflated as to prevent her from always climbing on—and up. METAL PRODUCTS TAKE FIRST GAME FROM MARCO NINE.

They were in Virginia at the time of the agreement entered into, Hudgins and Bumbray will continue with the company, the Monte Carlo Girls throughout the season. This class will be a table salary goes with the agreement. Hudgins and Bumbray are worth the attention paid to them. Both are finalists in the class of work they'll have to do. They were seen at the theater last Monday night by the Freeman reviewer, with reason. Hudgins in some parts of his work is Bert Williams and then some. He still puts on a bit of Charley Chaplin, but he is mostly Johnnie Hudgins and very hard to beat, if at all. Helen Bumbray also held her own performance in her deep, rich singing voice, her good talking lines and her stylish steps. In the "Sales Lady" they made their way up the stage and prancing at the close of their act their work is no less than fine art. Had George Walker, the late lamented Writer Wendy Walker, him he would have claimed Hudgins as his very own. All through the act Miss Bumbray costumed and a performer every minute.

"Big Jim Garrity" Full of Thrills The Quality Amusement Corporation gave a high presentation last week at the Hoehne Theater, "Big Jim Garrity." The story, which is familiar to all, was told in a highly interesting manner by the author, who takes the tiptoe from the edge of the first curtain to the final scene, in which villainy is punished by death and happiness. Sidney Kirkpatrick, the Broadway Players' favorite leading man, is seen in the "Big Jim Garrity" and it is one of the very best impersonifications he has given us in his long and hard combination. His must and virile physique is nicely fitted to the character and he looks the part, every inch of him. The man is tough and durable a solid iron poker is one of the most tense things done on any stage. Miss Oma Crosby as the scheming Mistress, the attachive, Charles Olden as the dutiful son of "Dexter," and the inimitable attacker, Charles Olden as the table Charles Moore as the more advantageously, the part assigned to the rendition of the parts assigned them and the characters could not have been more successful. The starring artist, added to her laurels as "Mrs. Dexter," and her super acting, as well as her elaborate gowns, is a light. This was her first real opportunity to show her "class" as a leading lady, and it is small praise for any say, and her admirers could ask at her hands. Miss Anita Bush gave a finished performance as well, and she is a favorite with Washington audiences. As the pioneer in this dramatic revival for the race, Miss Bush was a fine role and the recipient of sincere compliments. "Big Jim Garrity" was full of thrills and drama of the standard type—and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audiences that finished the third act took eight curtain calls Monday night. Colored Pictures Not up to the Standard. GOSSIP OF THE PLAYERS: Miss Abbie Mitchell is accredited with an ambition to play "Camille." Miss Ruth Carr has succeeded Miss Ruth Cherry as an ingeneer in the Bishop-Clough-Cooke group of the Bishop-Clough-Cooke group. Miss Carr's Ruth is one of the popular sayings hereabouts, as one or the other of these dainty little artists is bound to be in the visiting shows. Will A. Cooke, formerly stage manager and principal comedian of the circuit, is slated for the leading roles in the new musical comedies that are to be presented during the coming season by the Quality Circuit. Cooke is just naturally funny and his antics in any kind of a part are a sure cure for "bites." The blue comedian of the rich things Mr. Cooke is to pass out in the not distant future. The Griffin Sisters are at the Blue Mouse in their big musical revue. Burns and Burns have been doing fun at three of the local houses Dudley's, the Blue Mouse and the Ireland. S. Tutt Whitney's "Smart Set" comes to the Howard week of October 2, in "How Newton Prepared." A. Conan Doyle's thrilling Sherlock Holmes story, "The Sign of the Four," is the attraction this week at the Hawthorne. Prof. Edward Mineo's orchestra at the Howard is deserving of special mention. The selections, varying from the classics to choice "routine," are enjoyed by all. There is a "big hand" every night. The Whitman Sisters are resting in Asbury Park at their cozy summer home. They will put on a new act on Friday, and the company may consent to remain in Washington for another "run" this fall. Miss Mae Whitman will probably be able to return to the stage. The company just closing here in Indiana will be sitting in the present week in Baltimore, preparatory to producing "Within the Law" by Charles H. Anderson returns to the cast as "Mary Turner," a part in which she is said to excel the famous Jane Austen. The original Broadway production. Mrs. Mae Olden, the talented wife of Mr. Charles E. Olden, of the Broadway Players, spent a year seeing she was a valued member of the former Lincoln Stock Company in New York. She was a valued member of the former Lincoln Stock Company in New York. She is be induced to take a hand with the Broadway aggregation, to keep her husband company. She will be re-engaged with her husband. She will be a conspicious factor in "The Smart Set" several seasons ago. A public testimonial to Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard, is talked of. Such a movement will meet with people provided a course, that it is under different auspices than that under which that monumental "frost" of a woman is to be affair of this importance should be directed by the real people of the city—people who stand for something and who are following in Thomas's friends, want to see him crowned, not "crucified." Miss Anita Bush, the talented young dramatic leader, has recovered from her recent illness and was seen to be in good health. She is a handsome woman, as well as a clever actress, and wears her gowns in true Parisian style. She is a modicum of fame, in London, being featured at several of the best playhouses in the world's metropolis. She is also characterized as the "Mrs. Flake" of the colored theatrical arena. Miss Mattie Wilkes, now coming into her own as an exponent of leading roles with the Broadway Players, is a member of the cast. She a host of friends by her pleasing personality, on and off the stage. She helped to create the Isham's Oriental America, which appeared years ago at the Old Academy of Music, and has since been a part of various amusement combinations. She is the widow of the late Ernest Hogan and her last visit to the Quality Corporation, was as a co-star with Mr. Hogan in "The Oyster Man" at the Academy. Miss Wilkes is a linguist, speaking languages. four languages. Miss Cleo Desmon's impersonation of the cockey maid in "A Pair of Sixes," is one we distinct role best owed of Dramatic work this gifted and versatile comedienne has done since she has been coming to the capital with the Broadway actress Meyle. We have finished a play. Meyle lives in comedy, she is level-headed and praise, no matter how lavish, never spoils her. An philosopher, Cleo desmond goes about her business, pleased when things come her way and unruffled if fortune turns and matures at the time. She one of the Levy management's most valuable assets as an artist and box-office attraction.

MAKING A FUSS OVER LITTLE ARTHUR STIGALL IN THE EAST ARTHUR CHICAGO FIGHTER, KID CALDWELL, NEW JERSEY -MAKING HIS HLAIM TO LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP TITLE. (By Billy Lewis.) Making a fuss over Little Arthur Sigalown East, the white folk and the folk folk are trying to make an act. Joe Gans of him and if one may believe all the things he does little Arthur Sigalown already come into the hands of the little master. the inheritance. The fact of which there was such a need to do came off the evening of August 15, at access to the woods where stairs ascend to have gotten in. In that neck of the woods the painter ink is used in the little picture. They are even across country about him. It appears that the Chicago fighter, and of whom he thinks a vast deal. His name is Caldwell. This is the scrappen that Mugell the evening of the 15th passes the Evening Times of Cumberland, August. Amidst the Sporting Editor's Kid Caldwell is Tough Scraper "The music publicist describes the following from the Tribune: wired.com Chicago, IL., Aug. 14. Babson, Sporting Editor. Evening Times. Kid Caldwell is well known here and is good fighter and tough. SPORTING EDITOR. Chicago Tribune. The Evening Times of August 16 has this streamer at the top of its sheet of the sport section: "Little Arthur Sigal Brings the Hacon Bacon Defeating Kids are foregoing are the big announcements before and after the bout and which are the sport viewpoint. Here is evidence of race appalling everywhere as people with other people – in all they do good or bad, and our ever phase concerned alongside that of others. So if we sport let us get a good report of the following is what was said of the grab in the Cumberland Evening Times before and after: "The grab was received by the sporting department of the Evening Times this morning from the sorting editor of the newspaper in an answer to a message sent well, the lightweight colored fighter who will meet Little Arthur Stigall in the squared air tonight, the military industries were receive- this office regarding Caldwell's reputation as a fighter and in its effort to secure first hand information the Chicago Tribun was commun- accommodations have been made to take care of the largest crowd of fight fans that the Lonconing Armory and Lonconing will help to make up the crowd by sending a large delegation of fans to the Armory, which will be carried to the battle ground by special train over the Cumberland and Pennygrave roads to leave the Queen City station at 7:45 o'clock arriving in Lonconing about 9 o'clock. Returning at 11:45 o'clock or later. Little Arthur is confident that he will score a kayo over his Chicago man, alliance, will have to fight harder than any time since has been in Cumberland. Stigall has put in some heavy training, and he will have a shineface for the encounter. He has worked long and hard, taking on as many as five and six boxers in an evening for a total of 20 and 21 rounds. He has trained in the fans of Lonconing and Frostburg and has annexed training before the fans of Lonconing and cleverness displayed in his work-out. He feels that he will be able to stop Stigall within the ten rounds. He has a chance to fight should the occasion just happen. Frostburg has never seen him placed in a position where he was compelled to do much work, but is believed Caldwell will give him just of taking advantage of this stint on which to win his battle Stigall kicked up the sponge threw it back at opponent's manager and then stepped in to help him but just as Caldwell to his feet, count of nine the bell saved him enough to fought his man so fast that it was almost impossible for Caldwell to land a shot and the fighter had no effect. When the fighter started both men in the center of the ring and stigall stepped back. Caldwell started the defensive man went after Stigall with the sponge and dropped it up dropped his guards and permitted the Chicago fighter to walk in close. It was then that Stigall showed his mingling skills, and began to mingle with opponent with right hand that kept Caldwell's head bobbing from one side to the other and after that from a terific smash to the stomach. He remained on the floor for the count nine and then came up, but his pep was not there, and he tuggediously thereafter, but Stigall waded in and rushed him to the ropes. They tore to the center of the ring, and jugged to the center of the ring, but only another chance for Stigall to deliver his punches and he did. Caldwell did not have a chance to whip Stigall from the start of the battle he ought hard, never attempting to fight, showing against Stigall was a big disappointment to fight fans throughout the city, and consequently much dollars being bet shortly before the fight began. It was a slam bang affair through with Stigall doing most of the fighting. JACKIE MOORE, CHAMP LIGHT. WEIGHT CLAIMANT.

One of the great- est things about Dewayman Niles, is the effective style and grace with which he has excelled the Japs with those difficult and sensational body twists which have been the Japan's greatest contortionists. According to reports of those who have been trained by the Japs, have long traveled with him, he has created great comment throughout the country. While the Rabbit's Foot has been the first to start the people here to talking, Dewayman Niles is the chief subject. He has made up as female almost perfect. NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIEN'S FA- MOUS GEORGIA MINSTRELS No. 2. We are still in the state of Texas and business is still good. The entire Almona left the show Sunday night, and I want to say to the profession that it matters not what you are, or what you are doing. Mr. Prince Almona stole his things out of the window at night and ran into the room. Why? Mr. Prince Almona stole his things out of the window at night and ran into the room. Why? Why, we are free at this time, and if a man or a woman goes to a store like the place and can't get along, go to the manager and tell him "I don't want to leave like a man. It is not slavery days no more and let's not act that way, only makes it hard for the cow how it works." When the bunch was in Temple they spread some joy. Clifford Forby is not over the effect of it. Jee Baby says every time they hit him with a ten spot it hurts. So much seems regards to No. 0, Brien's minstrels. J. C. O'Brien's minstrels. A Howard Wilcox, better known as "Howdy," is a real driver of race cars. He is one of the few who have finished in the money consistently and who can be de- picted. Wilcox is on the Indianapolis track until the flag falls or he goes out of the race. Wilcox has won many races and finished in many more in the money. Several years ago his pet phrase was, "I won't build race cars; I drive them." And drive he does, as was attested in the last when he and Pete Henderson were the only Indianapolis drivers out of seven to finish in the money. He will be seen at the wheel of the same Premier car in the Harvest Auto Race Classic on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on September 9 in competition with the star pilots of the world.

In Seventeenth Annual Session at Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 16 to 18. Sidelights on Progressive Proceedings Among Progressive People. By an Eye-Witness. The meeting was a "corker." Everybody had a "bully" time. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas sent immense delegations. The Kansas City Sun showed enterprise by getting out a daily during the stay of the League. Dr. Washington was absent in the flesh, but his spirit was there and as helpfully in evidence as in former years. The program, prepared by Secretary Emmett J. Scott under extraordinary circumstances, was up to the usual high standard. Watt Terry, of Brooklyn, Mass., a wartime officer in the war, elected fourth vice-president, to succeed the late Philip J. Allston, of Boston. The oratory was of the highest type, yet unusually practical and reflected the progressive thought that methods of progress and practical people. Although the dudge lodge spoke "inners" generally there in large numbers, no one so far forgot himself as to "rise" to the inevitable "point of order." The regular sessions were held in the spacious Vine Street Baptist church, on the street, and large audiences turned out every time the doors were opened. Opened Despite strong temptation to stray far afield, the convention stuck to its rules. He was not the function of the League to endorse candidates and had the good taste to refrain from doing so. Lawyer C. H. Calloway, chairman of the local executive committee, won a host of friends by his pleasing personality and fort of all the visitors. He typified the proverbial Kansas City hospitality. The attendance far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine and compared favorably wit that of any session yetheld away from the populace. Citians covered themselves with undying glory. The headquarters at 1516 East 18th street were the mecca toward which all travelers turned after reaching the city. Citians were polite and attentive to the last degree. The bureau of information was managed by persons who actually knew things." The election of J. C. Napier as president of Washington was eminently fitting and satisfactory. He was the "Wizard's right hand man and the policies of the League to endorse candidates." His strong hand will hold the helm straight and his wise counsel will keep alive the principles and ideals which the League stands and believes in, the League's most potent agency for the commercial uplift of the race. The welcome addresses were gems. They were delivered in the behalf of the members of the League and the speakers. Mayor G. H. Edward Lawyer W. C. Hueston. C. A. Franklin. J. L. Allen. J. Dallas Bowser. T. B. Lawrence. He opened the convention to order at the opening session. Emmett J. Scott said "Nay, nay, Pauline!" his name to be considered in connection with the residency of the League. He consent to remain as secretary in the rejection of affairs that has made the League a power in the commercial life of the nation. Fortune J. Weaver, chairman of the energetic local committee, and his tireless efforts were "here, there and everywhere." They deserve the thanks of the nation in work in getting the convention to come to Kansas City and making it a brilliant success after getting it here. Roscoe Conkling Simmons—"Colonel" Simmons, since he took up his residence in New York, he has served of all eyes. Col. Simmons delivered one of the best eulogies of the session on the life and labors of Dr. Washington, who is running for the legislature in the Louisville district of the Blue Grass State and is said to have an excellent chance for election. Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mobil Oil, is running Potato King, of Edwardsville, Kan, and Wiley Hines, reputed to be the wealthiest Negro in the country, were talked good sense and told their hearers how to make their way in the world something when it comes from men who are doing things worth while. E. T. Attwell of Tuskegee Institute, was made transportation agent, a service for which he is elegantly fitted by reason of his large business experience. Tion concerns in his work as business agent at Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Attwell's address on "Business" was one convention and we shall try to give some excerpts from it at an early date. First Vice-President Charles Banks proved his quality as a presiding officer of the city, justly, and his quizzing of the speakers to bring out the salient points in their business methods, was pulled off by the city's strong support of Banks was strongly urged to stand for the presidency, but declined to be considered in that connection, lending his sturdy support to Mr. Napier. Two thousand persons took part in the monster industrial parade on Thursday, the first of many streets of the city. The display illustrated the progress made by the race in fifty years of freedom, bread and carriages were used, followed by the uniform ranks of the various secret societies and drum majors. Floats representing Negro business and other enterprises, united to make the parade fully two and a half miles long. It was "some parade." Mrs. Booker T. Washington was present and bore up admirably, under the supervision of the subjected. Mrs. Washington is a wonderful woman and through her watchfulness upon adequate rest, and relieving him of all burdens that she could assume herself, the Wizard of Tuskegee than would have otherwise been the case. Mrs. Washington was shown every possible courtesy by the general ladies of Kansas City cultured society. Dr. William H. Davis, of Washington, D.C., one of the very best stenographicceedings, word for word, in graphic style, and his report each year becomes a part of the permanent records of race scientific and technical phraseology, and because of this he is in great demand letters or articles are to be dictated that deal in language and terms out of the ordinary. Watch for Dr. Davis's will appear about the first of January. Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was given an ovation when he rose on Wednesday, Dr. Washington, Major or Dr. Moton was close to the deceased educator in all of the movements fostered by the university, which qualified to speak knowingly of his virtues and vastness of mind, as well as his faculty for teaching. He was one of the most-sought-after men in town during the week, and he met all comers with the affability and unstintedistic of him throughout his long service in public life. Dr. Moton is a success at Tuskegee and is carrying out his duties as an adjutor to a niecy. He will grow upon Tuskegee and the nation just as he grew upon Hampton and the master of the world of philanthropy and education. Emmett J. Scott's memorial address on Booker T. Washington was a masterpiece, the cleverly choreographed, seeless leader, Mr. Scott was happily chosen. He knew the man as no other man knew him. He could grasp the inner soul of the man, could he man, could he and reflected the purposes and principles of the Wizard more clearly than was possible. Simply, sincerely and searchingly, Mr. Scott analyzed the character, and measured the man's strength and without any apparent effort toward making a "speech," he held the audience at Convention Hall sprightly and measured the heights of the purest eloquence by reason of the heart interest he put into his text. Mr. Scott was in every place. Mr. Scott was easily the "man of the hour" at this session of the League. It is understood that Mr. Scott was circulated broadcast in pamphlet form. It should be preserved as a sacred memento of a big man and should be the prime factor in the performance of the work and whose unfailing loyalty served as a constant inspiration to the man who led the van.
