BERKELEY MOTORCYCLE GARAGE A. Berthelsen, Proprietor Agency—Indian Motorcycles and Pope Line of Bicycles Repairing Guaranteed OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC. Most Distinctive In America, Sava Benjamin Brawley. Says Benjamin Brawley. Benjamin Brawley in a recent article in the Southern Workman has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are in case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. TYLER AN HONOR GRADUATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO. Son of Ralph W. Tyler Completes Course In Pharmacy. Columbus, O.-The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the University of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler for the city, son of former auditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specializing in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twenty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which makes up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over 800 students, only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine—Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Smith, Ark. Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, Ky. Louis M. Wenver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. S. Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fa. and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H. Tulane was in charge of the Montgomery delegation. National Sunday School Congress. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School congress, is congratulating the local committee on entertainment at Birmingham, Ala., where the annual session is to be held beginning Wednesday, June 9, on the splendid arrangements which it has made for the care and comfort of the thousands of delegates and visitors who will attend the sessions of the congress. The meetings will run for six days. The program is ready for distribution, and the subjects cover every phase of Sunday school methods and management. Sahara Temple to Hold Big Reception.

Phone Berkeley 2439 No 7 WEST VIRGINIA SUNDAY SCHOOLS State Association Holds Annual Convention at Charleston. FEATURES OF THE SESSION Executive Secretary Arthur Thomas Arnold Accords Students of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Liberal Place on the Program—Great Christian Body Practices the Golden Rule. Charleston, W. Va. - At the thirty-third annual convention of the West Virginia Sunday School association, held in this city in May, the teachers and students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute were present in a body. This action was taken by the school upon the invitation of Arthur T. Arnold, the executive secretary of the association. He had invited the school to participate in the general program of the meetings by singing folk songs and the school band marching and playing in both the children's parade and the men's parade. Special seats were reserved for the teachers and students in the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the PETER H. ARTHUR THOMAS ARNOLD. morning session was held. When they had finished their numbers on the program and the presiding officer attempted to go on with the business of the association, there was one continuous ovation on the part of the audience—so much so that the presiding officer was compelled to ask the students to sing one more selection. The following editorial which appeared in the Charleston Daily Mall, reflects the general opinion of those who were present concerning the part taken by the students: "One of the most distinctive features of the state Sunday school convention now in session in the capital which the delegates will carry away with them will be the musical part, especially the part taken by the young men and young women of the West Virginia College institute. "This delegation from the foremost colored school for higher education among the colored people of West Virginia came up in a body and occupied special seats provided for them at the First Methodist Episcopal church and at the armory. Music is or, of the accomplishments of the colored race. The colored people take to music as a duck takes to water, and it is music too. Strong and rich, sweet and soft, the range is wide enough to take in every requirement and to satisfy every demand of the ear attuned to melody. "And not only to the visitors from all parts of the state was this achievement in harmony a revelation. Those at home were also on the list of the surprised and joined heartily in the applause and commendation which were given the institute delegation earnestly and without stint. 'Some' singers are those students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, and the state, which supports the school, has a right to be proud of the showing they made." President Byrd Prillerman is highly gratified at the uniform courtesy with which the students were treated throughout the entire day's proceedings. The officers of the association and the ushers treated not only the school, but all other visiting members of our race at the sessions with absolute fairness. The occasion really marks an epoch in the history of religious gatherings in the south. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, the competent music teacher of the West Virginia College institute, deserves much credit for the efficient manner in which the students had been trained for the occasion. Mr. Arthur Thomas Arnold, whose cut is shown in this article, is the general secretary of the West Virginia Sunday School association. He is a young man of high character and standing, who believes in liberty and justice for all the citizens of the state according to law and not according to race or color. Mr. Arnold recognizes the struggles of our race to rise in education, business and Christian character, and he may be depended upon at all times to do the square thing by them whenever he comes in contact with them along any line. The race will always stand by such men as Arthur Thomas Arnold.

Mount Olivet's Minister and Congregation Give Great Missionary Body a Royal Time at its Forty-first Annual Gathering—Big Sum Raised For Education and Missions. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—The New England Baptist missionary convention has passed another milestone in its long and eventful history. This convention was organized with six churches in the Congon Street Baptist church, Providence, R. I. The forty-first annual meeting of this flourishing religious body was held in this city at the Mount Olivet Baptist church from Tuesday, June 15, to Monday, June 21, inclusive. The territory of the convention extends from Washington to Maine and includes in its membership the churches, Sunday schools, women's auxiliaries and young people's unions of the nomination, with an aggregate membership of 284,516. The first two days and a half were devoted to the Sunday school and young people's convention and the women's auxiliary convention to the main body. The period devoted to the church convention proper covered five A. B. W. BISHOP JOHNSON, LL. D. days. The session opened on Thursday afternoon, June 17, with the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington presiding. After the devotional exercises and the appointment of the committee on enrollment of delegates and the committee on nomination of officers for the ensuing year Dr. Johnson delivered his annual address, in which he reviewed the work of the year and made several very practical recommendations for the future welfare of the convention. Following President Johnson's annual message addresses of welcome were delivered by Borough President Marcus M. Marks, on behalf of the city, for the interdenominational ministers' conference; the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, minister of the St. Mark's M. E. church, for the Baptist ministers' conference; the Rev. J. Ernest Robinson, minister of the First Baptist church at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., and on behalf of the Mount Olivet Baptist church Dr. David C. Moon, secretary of the board of trustees. The response to the addresses of welcome was made by the Rev. William A. Taylor. D. D. of Washington. Among the presidents of schools within the territory of the convention who made brief addresses noting the progress made the past year were Dr. George Rice Hovey of the Virginia Union university; R. C. Wood, A. M., of the Virginia seminary and college; the Rev. Dr. John C. Love, promoter of the proposed Northern Baptist college; Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs of the National Training School For Women and Girls; Dr. W. A. Credit of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school and others. The following named ministers were appointed to preach special sermons: Annual sermon, the Rev. W. T. Watkins, D. K.; D. doctrinal sermon, the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown; missionary sermon, the Rev. Timothy White. The work of foreign missions was ably represented by the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist foreign board, with headquarters at 624 South Eighteenth street, Philadelphia. The report of the board of managers read by the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. A. Harrod, showed that the work of the convention was well organized and that the various standing committees were active. The reports of the committees of state conventions, corresponding bodies, home missions, education, publication, church edifice, widows' fund and ministers' relief fund were also read. Funds of all these objects are provided for by the convention under the management of the various boards. A new committee known as the steering committee also made its report.

There has been very favorable mention in the daily press concerning the singing of the Hampton Institute Quartet of colored singers at the exposition. I am delighted when any member of my race does that which reflects credit and praise from the other race, and while the singing of the Hampton students is winning deserving praise I trust the general public will not forget that the band, whom everybody delights to honor for their wonderful performance of real classical music, was trained by a colored man by the name of Captain Walter Loving, who went to the Philippine Isles during the Spanish-American war as a member of the volunteer regiments. Previous to his enlistment he had received a fine musical education in the Conservatory of Music in Boston and elsewhere. He gathered around him in that far-away land a number of natives and began to train them in the art and science of music. The United States government afterwards, through the Secretary of War, recommended giving the rank of captain to the leaders of bands in the service of the United States army. Hence we have Captain Walter Loving, who, after years of untiring labor, has given to the world an excellent band known as the Philippine Constabulary Band and he is recognized as one of the world's great band conductors. When the United States Government was sending a ship to the warring countries of Europe to bring the exhibits to the fair it was remembered that in France there was a great spiritual or religious painter by the name of Henry O. Tanner. It was also remembered that he was an American negro, and in spite of the fact that for years he struggled for recognition in America, even after graduating from Harvard College, because of the one drop of negro blood in his veins, he was not able to win a place for himself as a great artist. He removed to France and then there the great artists of the world readily recognized his ability, resulting in the government of France purchasing five of his paintings, and one of his paintings hangs in the Luxembourg gallery and the others in different art galleries in France. His best painting is called "Daniel in the Lion's Den." The painting they have at the exposition is called "Christ in the House of Lazarus," and is in the United States section. No. 3370, in the Fine Arts building. Mr. Tanner is considered one of the five greatest living spiritual or religious painters in the world. The United States government has a splendid exhibit in the Educational building showing the progress of the race from the cotton fields to a clinic of negro doctors and nurses in a colored hospital, and also a very creditable display from the colored schools in Washington, D. C., and pictures of many colored colleges and schools. These pictures show the campus and a few of the school buildings. In the section of the Educational building devoted to the display of art in the public schools I find sketchees from the Summer High School of St. Louis. One is a sketch of a church by Anes Fort and a charcoal sketch by Kate Smith. In the Food Products building I find the Automatic Fruit Press, the invention of two colored people living in Oakland. It is called the Smith-Turner Automatic Fruit Press and furnishes all the fruit juices used on the ground. There are a few more that I will tell of in my next letter. D. L. BEASLY. The old Liberty Bell has arrived at the Exposition and from indications will be view by thousands of patriotic Americans. Many of our race will no doubt join the vast throng, as they should. And while doing so they should not forget to link with its historic past the name of Crispus Attucks, the first martyr of the War of the Revolution. Let each and every one of us shout it from the housetop, proclaim it in the streets and let this Western world know that the blood of a negro patriot has been largely instrumental in preserving this precious jewel of American independence. AM I HIS KEEPER? We admire that spirit that led a race man to say "I am my brother's keeper. Rev. F. T. Walker of Bakersfield, former pastor of Beth Eden Church on Filbert street, is the hero of the day, and he took this manly stand to defend an innocent man through the column of the leading paper there. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the ex-pastor, we must admire this spirit of bravery in the defense of the race. mire that spirit that led a race man to sa- teeper. Rev. F. T.

Mr. Palmer was invited to speak before the Society for the Advancement of Colored People, and said the race has made great progress and that he considered the Pullman porter an exemplary toiler and possessed of admirable qualities, with a disposition to keep smiling and happy and humorous, not taking himself too serious, a man of integrity and character. Ex-Probation Officer Christopher Ruess also spoke to the Association and commented on the progress the race had made in the last fifty years. Mr. Ruess expects to leave Oakland in a few weeks. The society is to be congratulated on the fine program rendered and the large attendance. NEGRO VISITORS MISS OAKLAND. It is surprising the number of prominent Negroes that have visited our great Fair, having come direct to San Francisco, secured rooms there, visited the Fair and a few friends or acquaintances and returned East without meeting the great mass of colored people on this side of the hay. Some of our Housing Committee did not reckon with the Pullman porter in the matter of securing accommodations for our people, but now we find that he has the first call on the visitor and is placing them where he best chooses. REV. JESSE PECK AND THE CHORUS OF SEVENTY-FIVE VOICES. It is to be hoped that Rev. Peck, pastor of the 15th-street A. M. E. Church, will succeed in securing enough financial backing to pull off the big rendition in our new Municipal Auditorium instead of Hamilton Hall, as first planned. The Sunshine would like to see all the churches and societies assist if possible in making this recital a real Negro effort, to show the world just what talent we possess and what we can do. Prof. Jackson, the leading Negro chorister in the country, will be here in charge of the singing and we would certainly like to see every race lover put his shoulder to the wheel, and fill in at least if you cannot sing. WHAT THE SUNSHINE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. How many race clubs had special programs in honor of the late decision of the United States Supreme Court nullifying the "grandfather" clause, thereby placing the ballot back in the hands of thousands of Negro men of the South? How many preachers have mentioned the fact or how many have had special services in their church for the decision? How many race leaders have celebrated the decision? There should be restivity and thanks given from one end of the grand old country to the other. MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN CHICAGO, AUG. 24. The sixteenth annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Chicago from Aug. 24 to 26 inclusive. The local committee of arrangements, headed by Dr. U. G. Dalley, is making extensive preparations for entertaining the members of the association. The usual number of papers, embracing every phase of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, will be given a prominent place on the program, as in former years, but the outstanding feature of this convention will be the large number of clinics which will be held during the session. Chicago has unusual facilities for clinical demonstrations of all kinds, and the local committee has been alive to the opportunities that may be seized for the benefit of visiting doctors. The larger portion of the surgical clinics will be held at Cook County hospital, which has been recently completed. Others will be held at the St. Luke's hospital and Provident hospital. Arrangements have also been made for special clinics covering diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat, children's diseases and women's diseases. Men who are located in the more remote sections of the country will witness here operations and demonstrations that they have seldom if ever been permitted to witness before, and the local committee as A the officers of the association are particularly anxious that the rural general practitioner shall avail himself of the opportunity to be present at Chicago for these wonderful demonstrations of medical, surgical and dental research and progress. The headquarters of the local committee will be in the Y. M. C. A. building, and some of the sessions will be held there. There will, as usual, be public meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and the session will close on Thursday evening. Aug. 26, with a banquet. Some of the more prominent men connected with the association will perform many difficult and rare operations, and the association as a whole will be invited to clinics conducted by Murphy, Schrader and Oehner. These men stand at the forefront of surgical progress, and to be able to witness operations performed by them and to observe the technic that they have perfected will be of invaluable assistance to every one who visits these clinics. Special tests will prevail on all the roads entering Chicago. Many from all sections of the country have already indicated their intention of being present. Those who are unacquainted with the city and expect to be there should communicate with the chairman of the local committee, Dr. U. G. Dalley 5 East Thirty-sth place, Chicago. PROMOTER OF BUSINESS Charles H. Moore Begins Work of Visiting and Organizing Leagues. On Wednesday, June 16, Professor Charles H. Moore, formerly organizer of the National Negro Business league, began an itinerary through Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, in the interest of the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league to be held in Boston, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, in inclusive. It is Professor Moore's purpose to meet local Negro business leagues in all of the important cities in the states here mentioned and otherwise to devote himself to propaganda work in the interest of the league until the August meeting. It is earnestly hoped that he may have the co-operation of the officers and members of local leagues in the states to be visited by him. Leagues desiring visits from Professor Moore are asked to communicate at once with Dr. Booker T. Washington, president, or Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Howard Smith: Perioms Noble Deed. Howard Smith of Camden, N. J., at the risk of his own life, recently dived overboard and saved the life of a horse by releasing the animal from a wagon to which it was attached. Smith is employed by Charles L. Adams, a contracting teamster of 434 Division street, Camden. He went to the Spruce street wharf with a dump cart, which was backed to the water's edge, and before he could block the wheel of the vehicle it went overboard, taking the horse with it. Losing no time, Smith dived overboard and finally released the traces, and horse and master arose to the surface. Smith managed to climb back on the wharf, while the horse floundered about on the surface of the water, and after some difficulty the animal was landed on the wharf. Thus again a member of our race in New Jersey performs a noble deed. Needs of the Wilberforce University. Needs of the Wilberforce University. As an institution of higher learning for our people Wilberforce university, in Ohio, is living up to the ideals of its founders and supporters. The progress of the school under the leadership of Dr. William S. Scarborough the past few years has been wonderful. The institution is in need of an endowment of at least $300,000. This amount is not large in comparison to the amount of endowment held by some of the great institutions of learning in our country. No doubt the trustees, with the president, will bend their energies in this direction during the vacation period this year. work. This has been done at a sacrifice, but with a desire to help young men. He is devoted to Mehairy and declares that he is willing to do anything in his power for the success of the school. He deems it necessary for the members of the race to make sacrifices like men of the order and rank of Dr. George W. Hubbard. When yet a young man he married, and a few years ago his wife died. Since he has remarried. He has a comfortable home and home surroundings. As to the work of Dr. Hubbard it is interesting to note that he has given fifty years of his life to medical work.

SPKINGER Mr. springer, who is now located in the Bacon Block, Oakland, in the real estate business, is a man that comes well recommended and one that is not only a credit to his race but to the whole human race as well. His congenial ways and business qualities will no doubt have a tendency to make the business in which he is engaged a success. He was born in New York and came West in the interest of a concession at the Exposition, but on account of differences that existed he changed his plans and entered the real estate business. Mr. Springer has so succeeded in getting the agency of the northern part of the state of the Travelers Insurance of Hartford, Conn. He has absolute full charge of the travel insurance of this company. Here is an honor conferred one of our race that has never been bestowed before on anyone. We have found him just as he is recommended, coronial and always ready when you enter his office, 78 B.con Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business.

Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "We want to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to notice that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are be'g, rapidly sent. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF the County of Alameda, State of California.

We believe in in Almighty God and we are unalterably opposed to the sovereign will and power vested in one human being, man or woman. We believe in inspired and divine race leadership and we are uncompromisingly opposed to specially hired or charitably bribed leadership for this reason: any man who can be specially hired and privately paid to lead the people can be bribed to mislead the people. We believe that colored men in all parts of the republic should vote and be allied with any political party they desire, and strongly advocate taking an active part in politics and voting elections. We believe in a broad franchise for women and men, and we advocate the same qualification for both, because it is just, right and fair and will work for the success of human progress and good government. The object of the Colored Citizens Protective Association is: To seek the truth by turning the searchlight on in dark places; to oppose false teachings BROWN'S REAL H For Chicken ranch, 6-room house.

Molton, who was arrested by the police for alleged assault upon a girl, was dismissed from custody yesterday at his preliminary examination before Justice A. W. Marion owing to a lack of evidence sufficient to convict. Molton was able to make a good showing as to his character and proved an alibi. The case, it is thought, is one of mistaken identity, as the colored man had been pointed out to the police as the person wanted. Rev. F. T. Walker, in a communication to this paper, criticizes the arrest of Molton as a great injustice, stating that the colored people who have lived in this city for 40 years have never been guilty of such a crime. Walker gives Molton a splendid recommendation, saying that he has held himself above reproach and charges that the officers attempted to sweat him on the night of his arrest, keeping him in a closed jitney from 9 o'clock until 11 in an effort to secure an acknowledgment of the crime.-Bakersfield Morning Echo. Mrs. Maggie Toles, a native of Mississippi, came to Oakland about three years ago. She died last Friday, July 9th, at the County Infirmary, where she had been a patient sufferer with dropsy for about three months. During the period of her illness, both at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Porter and at the hospital, the attention had care she received from her many new friends was remarkable. The people of the North Oakland Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Toles was a member from the first week she and her husband arrived in her deserts, much credited the kindness shown this decorator, in less than a year in Oakland was left a widow by the death of her husband. Though not a member of any of the secret societies about the bay, she made herself friendly with the people as she came in contact with them, and thereby many real stalent friends who proved their friendship to her in time of need. The funeral services were held at her church Sunday at 3 P. M. The pastor, Dr. G. C. Coleman, used words for a text chosen by her funeral team. The choir sang sweetly. Messrs. M. A. Reise and Houston sang a duet and Mrs. M. Southernland sang "Face to Face." The pall bearers were the deacons. Interment was Sunset Cemetery. Among those who sent floral pieces were Mrs. M. Williams, Mrs. William A. Thomas, Miss Marie Marshall, Mrs. M. Dove, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Davis, Sister Linder, Sister Bird, and the Missionary, Ladies Aid and Young People's societies of North Oakland Baptist Church. IN MEMORY OF MRS.

JAMES WOODWARD, Mgr. Phone Oakland 1554 DSON & CO. ers and Embalmers attendant Oakland Calif EXPOSITION TO OPEN ON JULY 5 Richmond, Va., to Witness an Elaborate Celebration. GILES B. JACKSON'S PLUCK Great State and National Function Planned to Show the Progress of the Race Since 1865—Negro Historical and Industrial Association Asks City Council's Aid. Richmond, Va.—The commissioners in charge of the plans and arrangements for holding the state and national exposition in this city to show the progress which our people have made during the past half century have selected Monday, July 5, as opening day. The celebration will run for three weeks, closing on Tuesday, July 27. The Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition will be held, has petitioned the finance committee of the city council through its president, the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, for an appropriation of $10,000 toward the general expenses of the celebration. The text of the petition as presented by Mr. Jackson is as follows: by Mr. Jackson is "To the Honorable Board of Aldermen and City Council of the City of Richmond. Va." "Gentlemen—There will be held in the city of Richmond at the state fair grounds from the 5th of July to the 27th of July an exposition and celebration in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the emancipation and achievements of the Negro. We lay emphasis upon the word achievements because the main purpose of this exposition is to show to the world the marvelous progress made by the Negroes of this country, especially in the southern states and the state of Virginia, within the past fifty years. "This exposition was conceived by the brain of those most anxious for the white people of this country and especially those of the north and west, to view the progress of the Negro and see how much he has advanced in the last fifty years. We want to dispel the idea that exists in the minds of some who are not so well acquainted with the black man and the relation of the two races in the south. We want to show that the Negro is not hindered from making industrial progress in this section. "It is for this reason that the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices this exposition is to be held, appealed to the national government for the means by which to create this exposition, and in answer to their prayer an appropriation of $55,000 was made at the time we applied for the amount. At that time we had the promises of certain large corporations that they would contribute largely to the fund we were raising, an additional sum of $50,000, but no sooner had the appropriation been made by congress when the European war broke out, and the corporations which made these promises asked to be excused because of the financial depression which affected their business affairs; hence we fell short of the amount we hoped to realize. "It is needless for me to say that to promote an exposition of this character, which embodies all the states in the Union, would of itself cost within the neighborhood of $0,000, including the shipping and returning of the exhibits, therefore you will see that we are in need of an additional fund to carry out the purposes of our association. Then the fact that President Obama accomplished a memorable which waited on him on Nov. 5, 1914, that he would be present some day during the existence of the exposition, if not at the opening, causes us to make special efforts to make this exposition a success. "We have extended invitations to the governors of the different states and also to $x$-number of senators and representatives of congress who have promised to be present. Therefore we will have a number of distinguished white gentlemen to entertain. While they will come upon our invitation, yet they must be entertained by you. Now that the exposition will be held in the city of Richmond, bringing to this city thousands of white and colored people, and when the people come to the exposition they come to spend money among the citizens of Richmond we will need an additional fund to carry out the scope and plan of our exposition. "We feel that, whereas the Negro pays tax on $38,180,628 worth of property in the city of Richmond, which is direct tax and contributes so largely to the indirect taxes of this city, we would be justified in asking that you appropriate at least $10,000, to be expended through the same channel as $55,000 is being expended by the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under the direct supervision of the governor of the state of Virginia, and also an additional amount to be expended by your committee for entertaining the president and the other visitors above referred to. "We hope that you will see your way clear to make this appropriation, as this is the first time in the history of the city of Richmond that the colored man has asked for such an appropriation, and 'we feel that the occasion justifies not only the amount of $16,000, but more.' with the convention, and desire to do so should communicate with the corresponding secretary, Miss W. D. Moss, at 346 Grand avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Business Concerns In Savannah, Ga. In reporting the activities of our people in Savannah, Ga., Mr. J. C. Lindsay, representing the local business league of Savannah, says: The six leading business concerns operated by the colored people in Savannah paid to members of the race for office rent the past year $1,198, to 153 employees in salaries and commissions $69,790.45 and to members of the six concerns above mentioned $55,086.45.
