"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." ESTABISH ED 1882. Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. ALWAYS AFTER MONEY. "The churches are always after money," said a woman who was asked for a contribution for the church, just after she had been to a concert which cost her fifty cents' admission—"Always after money for the church." This reminds one of a rich Texan rancher. His son had murdered a man, but through the efforts of an expert criminal lawyer the son was acquitted. After the trial the father was presented a bill of $400 by the lawyer, who asked him whether he thought it too much. "By no means," said the father; "you have saved my boy, and I'd gladly have given twice as much." Not long after the same boy was led to Christ and was taken in as a member of the church, and the father was asked to contribute something to the church. He grudgingly squeezed out a dollar. Think of it! He would gladly have given $800 to save his boy from the gallows, but unwilling to give anything for his salvation from hell! DO NOT PREJUDICE A CHILD A free-thinker came one day to Coleridge and argued vehemently against the religious instruction of the young, and declared his own determination not to "prejudice his children in favor of any religion, but to allow them at maturity to choose for themselves. The answer of Coleridge was pertinent and sound. "Why", said he, "prejudice a garden in favor of flowers and fruit? Why let the cloak choose for themselves between cockleberries and strawberries?" While coming over on the Minneapolis Mark Twain proposed the following toast: "Tue Lady! Second only to the press in dissemination of the news!" *** IN DOUBT. Buzz—"I suppose, Ikey, you are preparing for a jolly old-fashioned Christmas, with a welcome from old Santa Claus!" Ikey—"I dunno; Santa Claus was one of the friends we used ter make a heap of fuss over before we got rich; and I'm not sure whether mother and the girls will notice now or not." THE WORST. "My wife has been having some trouble with her throat," confided a husband to a friend. "and I got much worried about it, and called in the doctor. He examined her and looked very grave. So I said, 'tell me the worst at once.' And he whispered 'She will recover her voice. And my wife overheard the question and the answer, and now the doctor and I are both in bed."

Ralph Royston, who is a salesman for one of the big printing machinery houses, lives in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. He has five children and one of the youngsters, a girl, is a notoriously bad speller. The other evening Mr. Royston was endeavoring to help the child with her studies. The girl had to spell "evenly," and with much painful effort she started "e," then "v," then hesitated and haltingly suggested "e" again, and having progressed thus far stopped. "Well, go on," said the father, as he pronounced "evenly" slowly and carefully, to help the youngster. "What's after e-e-e'e?" The little girl thought and thought and then suddenly saw light. Her father, who couldn't understand why she could not get the word right, asked her with some impatience, "Why 'r'?" "Oh, yes," exclaimed the little one with a glad cry of triumph, "that's it! E-V-E-R-Y-R. Evenly." Mr. Royston laughed and the sisters and brother of the struggling speller laughed, and then the little girl understood that she had blundered terribly. And then she did what a little miss is sure to do at such a time. She wept. ASIATICS ON BRITISH SHIPS Growing Preference for Chinese Seamen Over Britons for Service Under Red Ensign. One of the principal grievances complained of by the union, we believe, is the alleged growing preference of ship owners for Asiatic scamen, particularly Chinese scamen, to British scamen, for service under the red ensign. The recent declaration by Winston Churchill, home secretary, is to the following pertinent effect: With regard to the alleged dumping of Chinese labor on British ships, the figures show that the number of British scamen employed in the British mercantile marine is steadily increasing, while the number of Lascars and Asiatics of all kinds was stationary. In 1905 there were 263,686 persons employed, of whom 180,592 were British and 43,483 were Lascars and Asiatics. In 1908 there were 198,474 British and 43,960 Lascars and Asiatics, an increase of nearly 18,000 British scamen in four years. It should be remembered that a very large proportion of Lascars and Asiatics employed were natives of India and British subjects.—Shanghai Times. THEN SLIDE HIM THROUGH. When God ran against Fleming for the governorship of West Virginia there was a contest that went before a Democratic legislature. The legislature was determined to seat Fleming—and did seat him—but wanted to do the work in an orderly way. Consequently, for several days, there were speeches, motions, parliamentary objections and maneuvers. One of the state senators who came from an interior county, knew that Fleming was almost certain to be seated, and wanted it done at once. After several days of fusing round he got the floor and made this speech; "Mr. Chairmao, what's the use of all this here speechifyin' argifyin' an' parliamentarifyin' Ain't Fleming our candidate? He are. Then slide him through!"—Evening Post. For cleaning, dying and pressing clothes, Mr. C. E. Cordner has one of the best outfits and does the finest guaranteed work of any one in the state. Place of business: Winchester, Ave., P. O. 609.—Both Phones. The last year deserves to be remembered as pre-eminently a year of flight. This does not mean that aviation was the most important work of the year; more men, but that the year's work in aviation was the most interesting and important in its history. It was a year of large increase in the number of air men and of record breaking in height, speed, distance and duration. If we reckon the practical art of aviation to have begun in 1908 with the performances of Wilbur Wright, the advance marked in 1911 was in height from 328 feet to 13,947 feet; in speed from 39 to 82.5 miles an hour; in distance in a single flight from 77.6 to 462 miles; in duration of a single flight from 2 hours 20 minutes 23 seconds to 11 hours 1 minute 10 seconds. Perhaps long flights across country were the most impressive feature of the year. These were made successively from Paris to the Puy de Dôme, from London to Paris, from Paris to Madrid, from Paris to Turin by way of Rim; over the European Asiatic Mind A Shrewd One Much of the slaughter that marked the siege of Port Arthur centered about the capture of what was known as 206 Meter Hill. The Japanese wanted that eminence not to plant guns on it, but to observe the position of the Russian warships anchored in Port Arthur harbor. Before the capture of the bill the Japanese fitted into the town and the harbor with an alarming and puzzling accuracy, although the gunners never eavy their target. After a time the Russians learned that a Chinese fisherman was particularly fond of a certain spot in the harbor. They watched him. If a shot fell beyond a particular ship he moved his boat in a corresponding direction. If a shot fell to the left the simple Chinese found the fishing better in that direction. Apparently he had no mission in the world except to find the best fishing ground. Finally it dawned upon the Russians that his movements could be observed by Japanese field glasses. Fishing in the harbor was prohibited, and the Japanese fire went wide. After a time the shots began hitting their marks with the former accuracy. The Russians looked for Chiramon. They found one. He liked to wade into the shallow water, apparently looking for crabs. He had a white buckey and a black one. It a shot fell short or went beyond the mark the white bucket moved in sympathy. If it went to the right or left the black bucket was effected only. If a hit was made the buckets came together. Possibly it was by using the simple Chinese that the Japanese succeeded in mining the entrances of Port Arthur harbor. On April 13, 1964, Admiral Makareff came out at the head of his fleet, his pennant flying from the Petroplovsk, The flagship struck a cable that connected three floating mines. One mine swung to port, two to starboard. In a few minutes Makareff and his ship went down. The fleet turned and fled into port — Scientific American. A YEAR OF FLIGHT. FEBRUARY circuit of France, Belgium, Holland and England; the circuit of Great Britain, the German national circuit, from St. Louis to New York and from New York to the Pacific Coast'. The real importance of these flights was materially diminished by the fact that they were made in numerous instalments, extending over long periods of time—generally a much longer time than would be required for covering the same distances by rail. Really more notable was the adoption of aviation in the military systems of the world. The practical interest taken in it by our own army is well known, though expenditures have not yet been large. The French military budget for the year contained on item of $1,520,000 for aeroplane work, while the total expenditure on aircrafts was not less than $3,500,000. Germany has formed three air battalions and has founded a number of schools for airmen. Italy and Russia also have schools and organized army departments of aviation. Even Russia has an army squadron of aeroplane. Frequent comments were made during the year upon the number of fatalities attendant upon aviation. Seventy-four were recorded, against only 33 in the preceding three years. Of the victims 27 were French, 13 German, 12 American 6 English. On the other hand, the number of practical and licensed aviators increased to 325 in Germany and nearly 100 in America, these numbers being more in double those of the preceding years—New York Tribune. B & O S NEW PRODUCE YARD IN BALTIMORE For the purpose of handling outbound and inbound shipments of fruits and vegetables the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has opened a Produce Yard connected with Camden Station, facing on Sharp Street from Lee to Hull Streets. Equipment with team tracks, wagon scales, well paved driveways and two brick warehouses, it affords all the modern facilities for handling both team track and platform freight. The warehouse at the corner of Sharp and Lee Streets is used as an auction room where all sales for the marketing of fruits are conducted. The other warehouse adjacent to it is used for cold storage of apples, oranges, pears, lemons, celery and other fruits, thus furnishing produce kept fresh for the market. As a location the place is ideal, being in the center of the trading district, and is very convenient for the many produce and fruit dealers and commercial houses in the vicinity. The Produce Yard will have a capacity of approximately 60 cars and the new Fruit Exchange will provide Baltimore with one of the most modern fruit terminals on the Atlantic Coast. THE REV. IRL R.

Miller, colored, is the hero of the hour in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and has been given a purse by the citizens for bravery. He is acclaimed the bravest police officer on the Asbury Park police force. The colored policeman is being praised for capturing the elusive of his white partner—Police Officer Charles F. Lippincott although a revolver was aimed at his head. After Charles Clayton, a huckster, had shot and killed Police Officer Lippincott he turned his revolver on Police Officer Miller, but the hammer of the gun struck an exploded shell. Miller then turned in on his partner's murderer and after a struggle over-powered and arrested him. One of the first to reward Police Officer Miller for his bravery was Founder A. J. Bradley, who was active at the last municipal election in defeating the colored candidate for election to the city council, charging that property in the Springwood avenue district had appreciated in value since the canciliation of the colored man. Since Police Officer Miller's display of heroism Bradley has had the colored officer's life insured. Messengership For James D. Gross. As a reward for diligence and because of his peculiar fitness for the position the Hon. Frank J. Harris, county treasurer in Pittsburgh, has appointed Mr. James D. Gross messenger in his office. Mr. Gross was for two years a turnkey at the central police station. He has also served seven years as a deputy constable in the Seventh and Eighth wards. He is a prominent member of royal grand lodge, No. 31, Knights of Pythias, and captain of Greater Pittsburgh company, No. 14, of the uniform rank of the order. Juvenile Buds of Promise Prospera. The Juvenile Buds of Promise, No. 5, Grand United Order of Sons and Daughters of Moses, in Brooklyn is one of the most thrifty organizations of little folk in Greater New York. It numbers over 160 boys and girls who are being trained for the work of the order by competent instructors. The reports of the officials at the recent annual meeting showed that after paying all expenses for the year a snug sum remains in the treasury. The Juvenile Buds were organized in 1962. Dr. D. H. Williams to Conduct Clinio. The annual clinic at McMurray Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., will be held the first week in February and will be conducted by Dr. Daniel H.

Richeson, the self-conferred slayer of his sweetheart, Avis Linnell, that his Negro guard, Harry H. Butts, may be permitted to remain in his cell, the sentencing of the latter man on his plea of manslaughter, which he inside, will probably be deferred. When Butts returned to the Charles street jail he informed Richeson that he would soon cease to be his companion, as his sentence will be served in the estate prison at Charlestown. Richeson broke down and cried, and begged that Butts remain with him. District Attorney Pellister. it is understood, will not ask for the sentence of Butts until Richeson's case has been disposed of finally.

That Pittsburgh orde and groom who narrowly escaped death by fire, and then were made man and wife with their bodies swathed in bandages, are made of the right sort of stuff. People like the two mentioned above, are unawervable, and it is a pity the world does not contain more like them. Hon. E. L. Long, Treasurer of the State of West Virginia, has let it be known that he will seek a renomination at the hands of the Republican electors in the primary next June. He feels that his chances for the nomination are good, and is satisfied to abide by the verdict of the voters. If President Taft has a spark of gratitude in him he will do one good thing in return for the good thing that he tells was done to him, and that is, make Joseph Benson Foraker Supreme Court Judge in place of our late and sainted Judge Harlan. He ought to do it for only last week, in Columbus, Ohio, in running over his success in life, admitted it began with General Foraker making him Judge. What a contrast? During the campaign of 1908 when William Howard Taft passed through Martinsburg he stood on the observation end of a Pullman car in full view of everybody, but when he went through here in the fall of 1911, all the blinds of the car in which he was were pulled down so he could not be seen. Possibly the people of this and other sections will remember his 1911 exclusiveness. Four bishops of the African M. E Church have departed this life since the last General Conference of that body met, and when the next one convenes, the duty of electing the successors of the deceased bishops will devolve upon it. The office of bishop is a most important one, and only men of the highest integrity, the greatest intelligence and the truest religion should be considered in connection therewith. In view of the above hope, when the time comes for the election of the new bishops, that there will be no unseemly scramble among the various aspirants, but that they will go about the bishopric election in a manner that will reflect credit upon themselves, their church and last, but not least, the race to which we and the forthcoming bishops bear allegiance. Dr. Booker T. Washington is, in many things, a wise man, but when he attempts to set himself up as a dictator to the colored men of the South and elsewhere, relative to their aptitude for carrying guns and pistols, we think he has somewhat overstepped his bounds. Despite all the length with which the sage of Tacobees went in disseminating his views regarding those who go armed, it would be an easy matter to prove his position an untenable one. More especially is the above so, when one stops and reflects over the murder of innocents, the devastation of homes, the brutal persecution of helpless men, women and children, the burning alive of human beings, and the general campaign of anarchy and ropine indulged in by the South and other parts of the United States. Such conditions as those referred to, can only be met with firearms of the finest make and most approved pattern, and it would not matter to us whether they were revolvers, rifles, shotguns or Gatling guns. The opinion of John Mitchell, Jr., one of the greatest Negroes in America, and like Washington, a Southerner, is at variance with that of the Tuskegeean, for Mr. Mitchell believes in the ownership of firearms by Negroes, and their use when the occasion demands, and there is no colored man in the whole South who is more highly respected than he. The confession of Roy Hettenhouser to the so many outrageous and beinous crimes which he and his other three "pals" have committed in this city during the past two years, certainly ought to awaken and arouse Martinsburg to organize a vigilance committee, whose duty it should be to see that we have less vagrants, for truly; "idleness is the devil's workshop." There is no occasion for any young man to be idle in Martin'sburg, and when he is and will not work, there can be no better sign he is living by his wife, which in time will land him behind the bare, or some hard, honest worker into eternity—because such fellows mean to kill rather than be exposed. Had such a committee been in existence, and done its duty, the parties referred to would have been run down long ago. Loafers who go to Washington, D. C., or are found there, go in double quick to the work house, and are made to work on the streets—why not do so here. The dictionary in defining the word "nigger" applies it to Africans and their descendants; the Chinese and Japanese. Wacth how quickly it will be changed. It has no right to be found in any dictionary, except and so explained as a low and vulgar word that eminated from low, vulgar people, used in derision to humilate decent people, whose color is said to be like unto that of the lowly Nazarene. Colored Soldiers In Turkish Army. It is hardly worth while to express surprise at finding colored soldiers in the ranks of the Turkish army, for wherever men strive in a common cause at home or abroad either for racial or national honor the colored man shoulders his share of the responsibility. The two killed in a recent skirmish between Turkish and Italian soldiers at Tripoli are said to have been the aggressors. Dr. B. T. Washington to Tour Florida. The managers of the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington which is to be made through Florida have announced that the start will be made at Pensacola on Friday, March 1.

PUBLISHERS' OPPORTUNITY Advertising Agencies Lean Toward Papers Edited by Afro-Americans "Within the past two weeks, since Jan. 1," says Albon Lewis Holsey, "the proprietors of two well known advertising agencies have consulted me with regard to advertising propositions for papers published by and in the interest of Afro-Americans. In each case reliable information was sought as how best to reach the largest number of papers at once. "I named to such inquirers a long list of papers published by our people, gave their location and quoted their approximate circulation. This seems to me to be a fine opening for a number of publications to greatly increase the number of advertisements from that which they are now carrying. "Why not combine their efforts to secure advertisements? Such organizations as the National Negro Press association should inaugurate a large advertising campaign to let the general advertising public know the value of their papers as advertising mediums. At the last session of the Negro Press association I had planned to offer this suggestion, but the time was squandered in electing officers and arguments over trivial matters. "I spoke to President Lewey about this matter, and he expressed himself as being much in sympathy with such a movement. It is my hope that this matter will be taken up at the next meeting, for advertising is certainly one of the vital factors in journalistic activity." BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING. Results of Its Constant Use Shown by Baltimore Druggists. Baltimore.-The value of continual advertising in race papers is exemplified in the remarkable success that Stokes & Derry, druggists, of this city have had within the past three years. Starting out in 1908, they have built up a business that exceeds that done by any of the four other colored drug stores of the city. When asked recently what he thought had contributed to the success of his business venture Dr. E. Verry Stokes, senior member of the firm, said: "I attribute much of the success that we have had in the drug business to the fact that we have always let the public of Baltimore know through the local race papers what we have to sell. I am firmly of the opinion that colored men in business can add considerably to the volume of trade done by advertising their wares in race papers. "White men who are successful along business lines continually let the people know what they have to sell by advertising. Another factor in business success is letting the public have the right goods at the right prices, and if you have not an article that a customer wants make a strenuous effort to get it. Up to date methods, modern equipment, polite and quick service, also help harmonely." Dr. Stokes is a native of Baltimore. While studying in the Baltimore colored high school he worked in one of the drug stores of the city. He then entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, where he was graduated in 1908. While in Philadelphia he filled the position of pharmacist at the Frederick Douglass Memorial hospital and nurse training school. He returned to Baltimore and passed a very creditable examination as pharmacist. Dr. Derry is a native of Baltimore also. He was educated in the Baltimore public schools. Lincoln university and Oberlin college, afterward studying pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He worked for a number of years in local drug stores before embarking into business on his own account. Knights of Pythias' Annual Carnival.

To my Fellow Citizens Throughout the State: At the earnest solicitation of men in every walk of life throughout the State, regardless of color, and after serious reflection, I have decided to become a candidate for colored committee at large on the State Executive Committee, subject to the will of the voters at the Republican primary to be held June 4th, next. I have been a life long Republican, a staunch and consistent supporter of the party, and ever a firm believer in the ultimate triumph of the doctrine of Republicanism as enunciated by Lincoln, advocated by Grant and Ga field, and championed by the beloved McKinley and the courageous Roosevelt. I, too believe thoroughly in the primary plan of selecting candidates for all elective offices, for in this way only can the will of the people be questionably known. If honored by you with election to membership on said Committee, I shall at all times, in the discharge of my duty, think, act and vote for the best interests of the party and the common good. Very sincerely yours, L. O. Wilson. Weston, W. Va., Jan. 22, 1912.
