Sproul Will Welcome Them to Philadelphia Meeting. Washington, D. C., July 16.—Special; Elaborate preparations are being made for the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league, the regular business sessions of which will be held in Dunbar theater, Broad and Lombard streets, Philadelphia. This building cost over $400,000.00 and is owned and controlled by colored people. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the National Negro Business league, is now busily engaged in formulating the program of the coming meeting which is to be held in Philadelphia, August 18, 19 and 20, 1920. Persons intending to be present are requested to send early notices of such intention to the national headquarters of the National Negro Business league, 1816 Twelfth street, North West Washington, D. C. WHITE PROFESSOR DECLARES COLLED PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER DEPENDING ON WHITE PAPERS FOR NEWS CONCERNING THEM OR TO TEACH THEM HOW TO THINK. Robert T. Kerlin, white, professor in the University of Virginia, says so in an article on colored newspapers printed in the June 29 issue of the New York Evening Globe. According to Mr. Kerlin, there are four hundred colored newspapers published in the United States and they are more widely read than ever before. There is no lack of evidence that the Negroes are going to their own papers for information and guidance. Those who live in small communities and rural districts have papers come to them from large cities, preferably northern cities, where the editors dwell in the safety zone. "In my own Virginia town, where the own population is less than one thousand, I found the New York Age, Afro-American, Baltimore, the Chicago Defender, the Boston Guardian, Crisis, Washington Eagle, Richmond Planet and the Southwestern Christian Advocate, the first two being among the oldest and most outspoken papers in the country, but all of there are radical. Apparently colored people of today will have nothing to do with any other kind, "To these and others of like quality they are going for testworthy reports of 'Negro Uprings,' 'Negro Riots'—so-called by the white press—and lynchings and wretful denunciation of them. The colored press is the now rival of the colored pulpit in influence. There are signs that it is coming into the first place." "Shortly after the Washington riot, I decided it would be a good thing to study the Negroes' reaction to that occurrence. Therefore I sent to all the weeklies for sample copies which were readily submitted me. I selected about seventy from the hundreds and subscribed for them. The generalization and assertions in these articles are based upon careful reading and re-reading of these facts of weeklies and from eight or ten monthly magazines. Eighty-five percent of my newspapers are published south of the Mason and Dixon line—The Afro-American. DR. GREGG OF FLORIDA IS ELECTED HEAD OF WILBERFORCE Wilberforce, O., July 16.—At the meeting of trustees of Wilberforce university recently, President W. S. Scarborough was deposed as president, and Dr. Gregg, president of the Edward Waters college at Jacksonville, Fla., was elected president to succeed him. Dr. Gregg was the choice over Dr. Scarborough and Dean Gilbert Jones, son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, by a large majority of the ninety-two members of the trustee board present. The meeting of the trustees was marked by considerable log-rolling, but the share up came when Bishop Connors, of Arkansas offered an innocent resolution committing the members to the candidacy of Senator Harding for president. This aroused many to oppose it, and especially members from Ohio, who declared that politics should have no place in the meeting, Major W. T. Anderson, retired chaplain in the United States army, in opposing the resolution, stated that there were many Ohioans who were not Hardingites, and they were opposed to a voteless representative from the south attempting to inject politics into the board, and to commit colored Ohioans. The resolution was unanimously tabled. It is expected that the board of the combined normal and industrial department of Wilberforce, which is maintained and operated by the state, will elect a successor to Superintendent Joiner as a meeting to be held this Friday. Prof. Decatier former member of the faculty, but now with the public school system at Cincinnati, and Prof. Russell, democratic postmaster at Wilberforce, and formerly principal of the colored normal and industrial school of Frankfort, Ky., are the leading candidates to succeed Superintendent Joiner. President Gregg brings to the university ripe experience and great popularity. Ohio Wins Another Presidency Tusckegge, Ala., July 15—Special to Bystander: Miss Hallie Q. Brown of international renown and instructor in Wilberforce university was unanimously elected president of the National Association of Women's Clubs and Miss Marion Wilkins of North Carolina, vice president. It was due to sentiment aroused by Mrs. Brown that the federation was organized a quarter of a century ago. Mrs. Brown has lectured at international meetings in London and Scotland. The following prominent Iowa women are in the delegation from the Hawkeye state: Mrs. Elnora Gresham, Attorney Gertrude E. Rush, Miss Jessieve E. Walker, Mrs. S. Joe Brown, Mrs. Gus Nichols, Mrs. Jennie Johnson, Mrs. Elnora Wells Shepherd and Mrs. Laurence C. Jones. C. David Houston, Writing in the Crisis, Says Whites Can't Make Good. TUSKEGEE CITED. Booker Washington's School Pointed Out as Institution That Would not Accent White Head. Declaring that colored colleges need "more teaching and less preaching;" that it is a "mistake to call a white man to the presidency," and that alumni of colored schools have no share in electing the "air-tight" trustee boards. G. David Houston, writing in the current number of the Crisis, makes out a strong case against the colored colleges as at present administered. Mr. Houston was formerly a teacher of English at the Baltimore High school, and later head of the department of English at Howard university, which he resigned to accept a headship of a department in the Washington public schools. The most obvious weakness of the colored colleges, says Mr. Houston, lies in the delusion that the president must be a minister of the gospel instead of an educator, whereby such schools are becoming more and more repulsive to the broad-minded professors. "It is also a mistake to call a white man to the presidency. Only two types of white men are attracted," he adds, namely "the one whose career is just about spent, and the other who finds his remuneration as president of a Negro college so far in excess of that which his talents can bring him from his own people." White presidents according to Mr. Houston get themselves good salaries and give large increases to the white professors in colored schools, while the colored professors do the work. Atlanta's prestige has always rested on Dr. DuBois, Fiske's on Dr. Haynes and Howard's on Dean Miller. No white man in these institutions, not even the president, he says, can match these names. NEWSPAPER PRINT HIGHEST SINCE 1865 Many Papers Raise Price, While Others are Forced to Abandon Publication. New York, July 1, 16—Beginning on Thursday, July 1, newspapers throughout the country began paying the highest price for newsprint paper bought under contract, since civil war days. Shortly after the world war newspapers were paying less than 2 cents a pound for newsprint paper. For the first six months of this year the universal contract price was 4½ per pound f. o. b. bill, but beginning July 1, the price of newsprint has advanced from 4½ per f. to 5½ per f. July, August, and September, and to 6½ per for October, November and December, increase of about 33 per cent. Range is Higher. In the open market paper sold in carload lots without contract, ranges from 11e to 20e per pound, f. o, b. mill, indications are that the price for 1921 will be still higher. Many of the small papers, depending on open market quotations, are being driven into bankruptcy and a number of publications have been forced to suspend. The excessively high price of newsprint paper is forcing many newspapers through the country to advance subscription prices. Prices Advanced. In New York the Hearst Sunday paper is selling for 10c per copy. The morning and evening Hearst publications are selling for 3e a copy. The Globe, the Post and the Mail have also advanced to 3e. In Chicago the Hearst publications have been advanced to 10c for Sunday, and 3e for daily papers. Many cities throughout the country also have increased the price of daily papers to 3e per copy and 10e per copy for Sunday papers, while in the south and west some small papers are being sold for 5e a copy.

Danville, Ky., July 16.—The Torel-light of this city, makes editorial comment in its issue of last Tuesday on the recent decision of the United States Supreme court upholding the power of a state to enact and enforce a "Jim Crow" law. It says in part: "This decision hurts business and in the end will work general hardship upon the whole people regardless of color or condition. It hurts business by perpetuating the discrimination and injustices that are slowly but surely driving the Negro population from the south. When the Negro leaves the south in large numbers the south experiences a shortage in man power. This shortage curtails the production of sugar cane, corn, cotton, lumber and rice. This curtailment of production and the output of raw materials appreciably lowers the volume of business done. Southern planters and merchants become land poor, the land instead of producing the staples grows up in weeds and jungles. These are the logical results of the action of Supreme court in upholding The Best ADVERTISING MEDIUM TO REACH COLORED PEOPLE IN THE WEST Price Five Cents Masonic Grand Lodge To Sioux City 1921 10 Sioux City 1921 Lodge of Iowa has just closed one of the greatest sessions in its history.

Wendell Phillips once said that the biggest brains don’t go toxcongress. What he meant was that knowledge is not a. thing to be weighed nor to be measured by titles of honor. Learning is a thing of appreciation, Every, year thousands upon thous. ands of men and women are gritduated from colleges, And it is to the credit of any nation that such a process goes on. But it took a inan trained inthe backwoods to pen on the back of an envelope the immortal — Gettysburg speech—a few hundred words that, for pureness of expression and nobility of thought, have never been surpassed. Lincoin had learned to learn. The biggest thing that any college edueation can do for nnvone is to teach them to think, And if a man begins to thing, he learns how to learn. Learning is the most serious process that the brain is put to, A man has to be downright in carnest. He has to want to learn in order to learn, ‘The mind in youth is very plastic. It’s like the soft clay that tie seulptor uses, to form his models. It is then that'it is easiest to learn to learn, ‘Rut a man is never too old to learn. Elihu Burrit taught himself more than forty languages while he pushed the dellows at his forge, and so proficient did he become that he was known far ‘and wide as the ‘‘learned blacksmith,’’ vee ames sora _ @y REV.

Eyer since David took his departure from Jonathan (ch. 20), when that crowning act of friendship was shown, Saul had been hunting him as a wild animal. He now pursues him with 3,000 chosen men. David flees from place to place, hiding as an out- law, Sometimes he is in the enemies’ country doing» disreputable things. ‘This is the period of his schooling which fitted him to be the eminent king that he was. It was a bitter period In his life, but God sent. him to this school and adapted the in- struction to his needs. David never could have been the broad man that he was, had he not been prepared in this crucible of bitter experience. His wading deeply into trouble adapted hin to write psalms sulted to all men, in all ages, and under all conditions. His life swung through the arc of human experience, touching the high- est point of fame and dipping to the depths of sorrow. and shame. Then, personally, he learned many lessons, among which may be mentioned: 1. His own weakness. It was nec- essary that he be humbled under the sense of his infirmities, Unless a man has learned this lesson, sudden eleva- tion to power will utterly ruin him. 2 His dependence upon God. David's. many miraculous escapes caused him to realize that the Lord had redeemed him out of his adver- sity, His hiding places.An the rocks gave him much of his imagery for the psalins. 3. He learned the country and peo- ple over which he was to rule. By knowing the grievous afflictions which Saul had heaped upon the people he could symputhize and remove them. 4. He learned the magnanimity of self-control. This a man must know before he can be a true king. He that ruleth hie spirit is better than he that taketh a city (Prov, 16:82). II, Saul in David’s Hands (vv. 4-20). 1. David sends out spies (v. 4). This he did to find out as to whether Saul was come In very deed. 2, David at Saul’s camp (vv. 5-11). He took with him Abish! and went tp the night to where Saul was sleeping. Abishi asked to be allowed to kill Saul, but David forbade him because Saul was the Lord's anointed. 3. David takes Saul’s spear and eruse of water (vv. 12, 13). Once be- fore at Engedl (ch. 24) David spared Saul’s life. Now again he was at hit mercy, This he did that he might show tangible evidence to the king that he had no evil intent. 4, David taunts Abner, the king’s bodyguard (vv. 14-16). He calls to ‘Abner and taunts him for his listless- ness—his failure to watch over the Lord's anointed, the evidence of which fs the cruse and the spear in bis hands. 5. David reasons with Saul (vv. 17- 20). When Saul recognized David's voice, David began to reason with him, showing that he had nothing but good intentions toward the king, He asked that he would show what wrong he had done or what evil Intent was in his heart. David is very humble and begs Saul to relent, for surely If he had any wicked purpose he would not have saved his life twice when the | Lord had placed Saul wholly at his merey. David had peculiar regard for the Lord's anointed., He recognized the fact that the Lord had delivered Saul into his hands not to kill, but to save. III, Saul’s Confession (vv. 21-25). 1, Hé confessed that he had sinned. The sad feature about his confession is that it lacked conviction, for he went right on sinning. This is the great trouble with people. They are willing to confess that they are sin- ners, but still they go on sinning. 2. "He confessed that he had played the fool and erred exceedingly. We see about us dally many using such expressions, but still they go on re- peating their sins. David shows bis magnanimity of spirit, however, in de- livering the eruse and the spear to Saul’s servant. He knew that Saul’s confession was not genuine, so he was arraid to go near. He knew the cun- ning of that old fox. He still appeals to Saul's kindness to him, and they part never to meet again. Consider Faults of Others, No one thing does human life more need than a kind consideration of the faults of others. Every one sins; every one needs forbearance. Our own Imperfections should’ teach us to be mereiful, Meditation. Meditation Is the life of the soul; action is the soul of meditation ; honor is the reward of action; so meditate, that.thou mayst do; so do, that thou mayst purchase honor, for which pur- chase give God the glory.—Quarlea, : | our NEW HOME | eee : a f° ge tt BB ips tee SA A 3 a pashli ies aS Fate art EEE Bel] alas ey cero PUL AN Saline cr lang] aS et — i ar ESA [y aes eS a | aes exiae et (OEE a oy ss al ee E—— - eC ——— = eax La ©: , 25,000 MORE PORO, AGENTS WANTED , Equipped with the Very Latest Apparatus for Teaching the Poro System of Scalp and Hair Culture and all Branches of Beauty Culture .
