(By The Associated Negro Press) | WASHINGTON, D, C, Aug25— Bishop W. Sampson Brooks was ir the city last week consulting with of. ficials in the Department of Agricul. ture concerning the kind of cattle to take back to Africa with him, The bishop had thought of purchas. ing a New Jerscy herd of Holstein, one of the best breeda in the wor:d, but he was advised that cattle from the southern part of tho United States or from South America would proba- bly be able to stand the African cll. mate better than those rtised in northern United States. Eventually, however, a herd of fine cattle will ac- company the bishop on his return to ‘West Africa next year. Bishop Brooks is well-known all over the country cnd fs now engaged in @ $50,000 campaign raising funds for the educational work of his church in West Africa. His school, now near- ly completed, is the largest stone building in that part of tke continent. The bishop is also interested in hav. ing the United States keep its pro- mize to Liberia in granting the $5,- 000,000 toan. Besides the mrtter of schools and of improvements in the Customs Service, the bishop is an- xlous to have the government proceed with ita policy of constructing roads from the seaboard to the interlor with the least possible delay. | At present the rivers which are navigeble for only a short distance, say twenty-five or thirty miles from the ocean, are the only means by which produce may be brought to tide water. Produce which is grown back of the seaboard district either goes over French or English border or the grower is compel'ed to let it He on the ground and rot because of inade- quite transportat'on facilit'es, In rither event it is lost to the Liberian Customs as the Interland Customs Service is not at all effective, | ‘The trails which at present are just wide cnough for substitute for roads, 1 Then, too, it is quite impossible to ransport the products of a country he size of Ohio on the heads of na. ‘ives, It is therefore of the utmost importence that wagon roads over which wagons, trucks and other autos nay pass should be built. | pa Ex- Wichita Boy Goes To Law College , Mr. Ambrose Wonard and familv, of Arkanras Citv, were th? guests of his mother, Mra, Eila Woodard, his brother Ernest and Mr and Mrs, Morris Steem- er last week.

CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 25—Twenty- one women presented themselves at the city health department yesterday with the request that they be examin- ed to ascertain whether they are auf- fering from either gonorrhea or ry- philis, The exeminat‘ons were made. Health authorities deslared that the appearance of the women proves conclusively that Health Commisssion- er Bundesends proposal for elimina. tlon of venereal diseases heve been accepted by women of the underworld. It wan declared the women would not have come unlese they were told to report for inspection by those in control of houses in which they live, Although, in examining the women it was ascertained-they were almoat all from disorderly houses, Health Commissioner Bundesen took the view thet his department is not examining inmates of houses of il! fame as such, but is “doing its duty by examining, citizens of Chicago who believe they may be infected with a communica- ble disease.” A number of colored women were examined, bound by blood in that particule: jeroups, and you can discover an ac- tive or silent resentment on the part of members of that particular group or race, this is true in varying de- grees in all races except the Negro race. Then, the fina ity worthy of eonsideration in this matter fs that the paramount laws of the Negro's nature are not responsive, like unto seared consclences, which when thev have been so tampered and fooled with, do not rightly respond and warn the unfortunate possessor. The Negro should not be censured but pittied, becaused his two er three Tundred years of adverse training has given him an unnatural and different k'nd of feeling for his kind, and has been caused to drift in the cur- n-ne of another raee, to hate his race, do all he can to keep it down and ad ire the other and do all he can to keep it up. What I have said in the above, I think, gives iogical and orderly rise to a question, and the answer for same, that has been asked by all real thinking Negroes, those whe have got ten out of that old channel of advers- ity and really love the race. Why the Negro won't stick together, why he doesn’t patronize each other, and doesn’t confide in each other, etc. If you knew anything about the serip- ture especially that portion which re- lates to training individua’s, you would not wonder so much, too, when you realize that the Negro has been trained to distrust each other ta hace and do every other thing adverscly to each other. Do you wonder, if so, don’t do it any more that just about 99 9-10 percent of the commodities we buy, work we have done, including the houses we have bullt; if you please, the white man must get tho glory and then money, You proba- bly wili say that the Negro can't do the work because of his inexperience, | Fifty eases out of a hundred this isn't true and the other fifty it fs true be-j rause you don’t give him anything to jo.

She is indeed in a class to herself in this line of work. There were at least 45 workers in training for the different phases of the B. Y. P. U., and it was inspiring to see the beautiful demonstrations and decoubts together with the team work of the workers. Another beautiful feature of this Institute work is that, Mrs. Winston will make the meeting finance itself; if the workers will half way work her plans. Our goal was set at $200 00 and we were able to realize 185 91 in the effort; We gave our National Worker all together $75 00. We know that she deserved more for her work cannot be estimated in Dollars and Cents. The beautiful tokens of appreciation presented her by the sections were certainly appreciated by her, for she expressed herself as being perfectly satisfied. Mrs. Winston goes from here to Atchison, Kas., to work with the Ebernezer B. Y. P. J. I am sure if the B. Y. P. U. folks co-operate they will reap great benefits and go over the top. The Old Reiah's Section won the first prize here by raising $51.44. The Ever Loyal next $50.01. The True and Tried third $40.02. The Willing and Ready fourth $77.44. The Juun'or Union $58.83.
