FLINN TELLS HISTORY OF PROGRESSIVES AN INDICATION OF BETTER CONDITIONS CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 45. FLINN AN INDICAT BETTER Afro-Americans Conduct Dining Car on Southern Pacific Railroad in the South SERVICE PLEASES COMPANY New Orleans. Instances are constantly occurring in which Afro-Americans when given a fair chance are proving their ability to manage business affairs of large consequence. For the accommodation of delegates from a distance to the recent meeting of the national Baptist convention two big railroad companies showed their willingness to give colored men a chance to conduct special dining cars and sleepers. On the Frisco and the Southern Pacific special trains with sleeping, and dining car accommodations were provided. On the first special train de luxe over the Southern Pacific en route from New Orleans to Houston, Tex., where the convention was held, Mr. C. H. Paul was in charge of the dining car as conductor, Jesse Young as chef and C. H. PAUL. G. WATTS. three assistant cooks and waiters in sufficient numbers to handle the great throng of passengers. It was something new to see colored men in full charge of a special tourist car, but the novelty proved a boon to the service, and when throng after throng of hungry passengers filed into the beautiful dining room and partook of well cooked meals served by polite and neatly clad waiters compartment of the efficiency of Conductor Paul and his men was the order of the day among the passengers. The comments of the delegates and the other passengers so impressed the general traveling passenger agent of the road that he took the first opportunity to congratulate Mr. Paul upon the business and general satisfactory way in which he handled his car and added that such efficiency upon the part of Mr. Paul and his waiters might eventually lead to their being permanently employed for such service. The second special train out from New Orleans on route to Houston was also finely equipped and was in charge of G. Watts as conductor. Mr. Watts force of capable assistants worked perhaps harder to make a good record, because it was a new experience for them, and, further, they knew that much for their future success in this line depended upon the satisfaction which they gave to the passengers on this trial trip. Mr. Watts has had considerable experience as waiter during his eight years of constant employment by the Southern Pacific. He stands high in the estimation of the company and can be depended upon to do his full duty in the capacity whatsoever in which he is placed. C. H. Paul has been in the employ of the company for nine years. Always honest, reliable and obliging, he has won a warm spot in the management of the affairs of travel and preparation for big events with the company. To the thousands of porters and dining car waiters on the various railroads throughout the south this event must give encouragement and hope. In proportion as the sentiment for fair play gains headway and Afro-Americans who are competent to fill the various positions in business and other lines of active enderor are found white men of broad training and business scrummen will give them a chance, whether in the north or in the south.

Theodore Roosevelt New York, Oct. 21. —Collier's Weekly will in its next issue come out squared for Colonel Roosevelt and the Bull Moose party. In its issue of October 26 it will print the following editorial: "A MAN. "Theodore Roosevelt is a fairly else presentment of what this nation likes, to call a man. Such faults as fault-finders like ourselves have been able to desry in him are faults of the highly tempered, hasty, and not always reasonable nation which selected him to govern it. "No man probably could have risen so high in American politics and emerge as stainless from his early struggles. "No man could have used his power with a larger-moral usefulness to his whole people. And we doubt whether any man in history has undertaken late in life as high and unselfish venture in the field of politics as the Bull Moose. "It is fortunate that those who value lightly the important things of life—courage, personal honor, and the well-being of those about them and who guard closely safety, comfort and their pocket-book—are almost the only Americans cynical enough to disbelieve in the honesty of Theodore Roosevelt's words within five minutes of attemt upon his life: Friends, I want to say this about myself; I have too many important things to think about to pay heed or to feel any concern over my own death." "Collier's is not so hypercritical that it cannot recognize a man."

TRIBUTE TO BRAVE COLORED SOLDIERS Cato Greene, Caesar Power, Cuff Green, Gay Wattson, Henry Taylor, Related Northrup, Thida, Phillips, Prinus Rhodes, Prince Green, Prince Jenks, Prince Vangion, Boston Roberts, Richard Corson, Richard Rhodes, Simpson Hazzard, Sculpion Brown, Thomas Brown and York Champlain. The details of the story of this engagement will not be found in the school histories of today. There is a reason. The heroes were coloured men. The nephew of George Washington, Captain Humphreys, acting under the inspiration of his famous uncle, commanded one of these black battalions, of whom the historian of that day wrote: Among the traits which distinguished black regiments was devotion to their officers. In the attack made upon the American lines near Crompton river, Westchester county, N. Y., on the 13th of May, 1751, Colosel Christopher Greene, the commander of the regiment, was cut down and mortally wounded, but the salver of the enemy only reached him through the bodies of his faithful guard of blacks, who hovered over him, fighting with the utmost during to protect him until the last man of them was killed." No monumental piles distinguish their "dreamless beds." Not an inch on the page of history has been appropriated to their memory! What a commentary on American fair play! WILBERFORCE WINS FOOTBALL GAME Wilberforce, O. Oct. 15.—The Varsity squad played the West Virginia Institute football team a hard game in a steady, downpour of rain on the University gridiron this afternoon and won by a score of 12 to 7. The West Virginia eleven averaged 150 pounds and the Varsity boys averaged 170. Wilberforce has many games scheduled for this season. Among them is one on Thanksgiving day with the Delaware Rifles of Pittsburgh for which game they are making considerable preparations. Last year the second team was defeated in Pittsburgh by a score of 5 to 0 and it is the intention of the Collegians to send the first team and reverse the score. George Lee Gaines and Millard Robbins, who have many relatives and friends in Pittsburgh, are on the team and hope to help their team, and school into victory. They ask that all Writers in Pittsburgh come out to the game wearing the University colors and make the Varsity roosting line a source of encouragement to the Collegians. OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH As Viewed by Dr. W.D. Weatherford a True Southerner Through and Through Dr. W. D. Weatherford knows men and conditions in the south. He is a southerner through and through and is spending his life in and for the south. In all of his writing and speaking he has been discriminating, sane and fearless. Through patient study, wide observation and sympathetic touch with men of all classes and races in the southland he has worked out in theory and in practice a plan of action which appeals to men who are vitally interested in the advancement of humanity. About two years ago Dr. Weatherford wrote "Negro Life in the South" for southern white college men who wanted to have before them the facts of modern Negro life. The little volume has been used in two years by over 10,000 southern college men who belong to Y. M. C. A. study groups. The call came for a new book on race relationships, and Dr. Weatherford again showed his mastery of a difficult problem by giving the public "Present Forces In Negro Progress," which is dedicated to that group of sympathetic men in the north whose united interest in the Negro race is a prophecy of a better day." In the preface of "Preset Forces" the author expresses his appreciation of the help that he has received from students and professors in white and colored schools and from farm, demonstrators and educators. Thus he shows that he is a man who can co-operate successfully with other men. He asserts very emphatically, "The supreme need of the hour is that men shall face facts rather than spin theories." The various chapters discuss traits of Negro character, race leadership and the grief of race pride. Negro population, race movement. The relation of the white churches to the Negro, and the work of the Y. M. C. A. With rare keenness of mind and frankness of expression, Dr. Weatherford has analyzed the race problem as it affects the Negro himself and his white neighbor, both of whom are economically and socially interdependent and, therefore, have a common interest which should not be lost sight of either through importance or wilful neglect. The advent of the race problem must include co-operation in the broadest sense, race pride and race consciousness, Christian leadership, reduction of the infant and adult death rate, revival of interest in rural life, conquering the enemies of southern farm life—the tenant system, the one crop system, improvement of the public rural schools, the local churches, the average small farm and the adoption of a sound public health policy.

Mrs. O. she was also granted her maiden name and will now be known as Fiona A. Josner. PITTSBURGH, PA., OCTOBER 25, 1912. CHEERS GREET HIM AT HUNGRY CLUB IN SPEECH "Roosvelt and Right" Was the Subject of the Talk at Fort Pitt Hotel Senator William Flinn, the Progressive leader in Pennsylvania, was the speaker at the Hungry club luncheon in the Fort Pitt hotel today. "Rosevelt and Right" was the subject, of the talk, and there were cheers when H. H. Willock, presiding, introduced the speaker and named his subject. Senator Flinn related the history of the Progressive party from its inception, and told of the causes that led up to its formation. He also told how he became interested in the movement, after 11 years of political retirement. "One day a friend asked me to go with him to Colonel Rosevelt's office," Senator Flinn explained. I went and met Mr. Rosevelt. During the conversation, he asked me what I thought of the political situation. "I said, I think the broken down condition of the Republican party is your doing. You advanced progressive, even radical views, and started the work of executing your ideas. But many of the party carry out your policies violated the pledges of the Republican-national convention. He disappointed millions of people in this country. And it's your fault." "Then, when Colonel Roosevelt made up his mind that he would be a candidate if the people wanted him, I came home and, with several other followers of Roosevelt, opened headquarters. We were the pilots—the frontiersmen. The western part of the state dropped in at headquarters and joined in the movement. Then the central part fell in, and then the eastern part, until we had the greatest campaign. The senator watched when he said, "I think I was better fitted to lead the Progressive movement probably than any other man. I don't say that through conceit either, because, first, I had the experience; second, I believed in it; third, I had the health, and lastly, I didn't need to go out in the streets and beg subscriptions; I could do all myself." He fold of the political results of the campaign in this state. "It was the first time the Republican organization, which held sway for 45 years or more, went on the rocks. It was not the stupidity of the leaders; it was the Progressive sentiment. And Roosevelt was nine out of ten of the reasons himself." We worked hard. We sent out 22 tons of postal cards. People laughed at us when we said the Progressives would carry the state. Penrose, 10 Jays before the primary election, said if Roosevelt carried 10 delegates, he would call it a Roosevelt victory. The senator believed in Roosevelt. That's why we won. Roosevelt was nine-tenths of the sentiment himself then, and I believe its worse now." The fest-prompted hearty applause. "The result of that primary election has put life into the -progressive movement. The Pennsylvania victory has caused the revolution that is on to happen. If Pennsylvania hardy can off her shackles, the Republicans would not have had to steal the Chicago convention, and the present revolution never would have started." Senator Filln told of Penrose misrepresenting the Republicans of Pennsylvania, going to Chicago to the Republican convention, and alding in the steal. "I couldn't beat the national committee under the rules of the game." Senator Filln then told of the state convention. "We had 200 delegates, the party not ruled Pennsylvania for 45 years and 112. The convention adopted the most drastic platform ever adopted, even in the northwest. There is hardly a Progressive in vogue in United States that was not put into the platform. "And I believe well get that Progressive legislation. If we don't there will be a revolution, and the present political upheaval won't be a marker to the revolution two years from now. I don't believe the generals of the Republican convention if they had known sort of revolution they were proking. They didn't know they were it on the wrong man when they chose methods on Theodore Roosevelt." Senator Filln said the straw vote tests this fall indicate a great unrest and that indicates the election determined to have a change the better. He spoke a warning against Socialism, which is growing constantly in this country, and said if the men of wealth would avoid common ownership, one of the principles of Socialism, they must cease to regard themselves as owners of their properties, and to invest in those of that property, and not owners. He spoke of the split in party lines in the present campaign. "The Republican party stands for conservatism," he said; "the Progressives stand for progress, and the Democratic party is a fractionalists and progressive party, with the Democratic party so divided in itself. It would hinder good government should that party gain control at the coming election." speaking of the growth of the Socialist party, Senator Filinn said the (Continued on Page Eight.) Are you patronizing colored enterprises whenever possible, or are you going for his place and helping the other fellow up the ladder to the detriment of your race. Don't only go where you are forced, but help your own at every opportunity. Remember that every colored man that gets up helps to pull you up too. Bishop Coppin Dedicates New A. M. E.

Bishop Coppin addressed at Danville, Pa. of which Rev. A. E. a meeting at St. Paul E. church, Slimman, who was transferred from and at 7:30 p. m. he preached at the Ohio conference, is pastor. That new church, at which time $400.00 Bishop W. B. Derrick's selection of was announced by the pastor as paid the right man for the right place, is on the church. Evening, Bishop Coppin PROGRESS IS MADE BUT MILLIONS ARE YET IN IGNORANCE American Church Institute Fosters Six Colleges for Colored Youth, Male and Female THE MATTER OF EDUCATION Scattered throughout the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, the American Church institute fosters six colleges for colored youth, male and female. From these schools some 3,000 students have been graduated since the beginning of the organization. Bishop David H. Greer is president of the institution and Bishop Edwin S. Linae is the secretary. The annual report of the secretary, recently issued, is generally encouraging, but regret is expressed that there yet remains a tremendous work to be done in order to reach the millions of colored children of school age who are still without the means or opportunity to get an education. The report gives the following view of the present conditions of the Negro and what remains to be done for the accomplishment of his education. "So much is said today, and truly said, of the extraordinary progress of the Negro—his ownership of more than 24,000 square miles of territory, his more than 500,000 homes, the steady increase of his possessions, real and personal, his 26,000 churches valued at nearly $30,000,000, the more than $24,000,000 he has invested in his own education since the war—that one almost fears such statements as these will mislead the public into thinking that the Negro is succeeding without aid in educating himself. The Atlanta conference of 1801 called the attention of the nation to the fact that fewer than 1,000,000 of the 3,000,000 Negro children of school age were then regularly attending school and even those attending sessions which lasted only a few months. Though the hunger of Negroes for education is so powerful that wherever opportunity is provided the average daily attendance of Negro children as compared with the enrollment is 77 per cent, in many counties and school districts exceeding the average of white children, nevertheless it is still true that about 50 per cent of the children of common school age are not in school; that the average grant per child throughout the south is hardly more than $2, and that the average length of term is by no manner of means what it ought to be.

Any agent or official whose conduct is unbecoming or discourteous to our subscribers or advertisers will kindly report in writing to Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Company: TOO MUCH JOHNSON. Without attempting to exaggerate the situation, we think it may be truthfully said that the Negroes have had quite enough of Jack Johnson and his "high life." Whether white women are actually haunting his life out in the efforts to get next to his velvet skin next to his money, we care not a particle. Only one thing concerns us; the disgrace and humiliation every self respecting Negro must feel when he sees his face held up before the world through the evil agency of a single member, suffering from too much prosperity and notoriety. When Johnson brought to the race the championship of the pugilistic world, he was appreciated for his prowess and skill; but his recent conduct as reported by the public press has more than made us regret the day he was allowed to compete for the honors he has since disstraced. Ever since he has been champion, he has flushed white outcasts in the face of his people. All of his energies have evidently been directed toward the evil and licentious side of life with no signs of cessation in sight. The good sense with which his friends credited him has been abandoned for practices more stupid and reckless than have heretofore been known of Nero pugilists. If Johnson and his white associates think the Negro race is in search of white, women whose ambition is to become concubines for Negroes, they are sadly in error. We have no sympathy for Johnson if the Cameron woman sought him like a lioness for prey. His erstwhile good judgment should have shown him the folly and crime of it all. If he could "get" any woman he wanted, as he is alleged to have boasted, then his relations with his new white woman are all the more to be criticized, and his ignorance looms larger for having made the boast. We think Jack Johnson a failure as a representative of the race; and experience no hesitancy in saying that we have had too much Johnson. REVIVAL SEASON. The spirit of revival and evangelical activity seems to pervade our city as never before. All over the city the pastors are holding revivals and taking newly converted members into the church by the歌诗. To add to this activity, there is now in the planning a season of evangelical work to be opened here next month. At a time of the year when politics and criminal courts of the country are holding the center of the state, this revival and evangelical season comes as a timely relief. It has been said that the good people are the salt of the church; and judging from the present trend of the morals of the country, a wholesale "sprinkling of the salt" is necessary. It appears that crime and immorality have invaded the country with renewed vigor, and something to counteract its progress must be done immediately. It is encouraging to note that the coming evangelical campaign will keep up color; but will be devoted to the needs of the country as a whole with every race enlisted in the cause of moral uplift. The Courier believes in a hearty cooperation of all men and women regardless of race or class in the suppression of vice and immorality so calculated to upset our civilization. Now can it all be accomplished through the pulpit alone; the laity must share in the work, thus lending the necessary encouragement to the movement. JUST LIKE A DEMOCRAT. The candidate for Vice President on the Democratic ticket took occasion this week, while touring the West, to express himself on the race question. While he did not mention the Negro his remarks were evidently directed to all who fall within the class he defined in his narrow, contracted sentiment. And we have it that the audience cheered him to the echo. We quote him, in part: I am unalterably opposed to the granting of citizenship to any race which by habit and by nature is absolutely unfitted to amalgamate with the American people. I believe in encouraging the immiscibility to this degree of those peoples who will not alone understand and appreciate our institutions, but who, more than that, are eager to adopt these institutions as their own. For such peoples we have room and opportunities. But for the peoples who never can migrate in political affairs, in business or in a social way with Americans I say, don't grant them citizenship. Although he was in San Francisco, Mr. Marshall intended that all races should know his attitude toward all peoples who never can mingle in political affairs, in business or in a social way with Americans." We are not astonished at all. Such a sentiment is to be expected from the Democrats, and if they"succeed in getting control of this government, we may expect to see this same sentiment written upon the statutes of the country. And yet we have some Negroes who have the brazen audacity to champion the Democratic cause. With candidates expressing themselves in the above terms, we consider any help given the Democratic party by the Negro as a direct effort to return to slavery. And the white women are determined that Jack's money shall not be blown in by any Negress, at least! Local Mrs. Mevada Smith is visiting friends in Altoona. Mrs. H.

HER SHARE OF THE BUREAU Girl Visitor's Idea of a Division Seemed to Be to Take All the Space You Could Get. "A friend can to visit me last week," said the Girl Flapper, "and as there is only one bureau I told her I would have to share it with her. So I pushed my things out of the way and she began to unpack. This is what she put out: "A bottle of spirits of camphor, a bottle of camphor water and boracic acid that she uses for her eyes, a bottle of witch hazel, another of benzoin, a box of face powder and a tin of talcum powder, a make-up box, sixteen ivory toilet things, four Stevens text in frames, an atomizer, a bottle of ammonia, another of oil of pennyroyal for mosquitopes, nine hatpins, a sewing bag, a jewelry box, some perfumery and an alcohol lamp. "Now, I'll unpack my bathroom things," she said, and she took out three sponges, large, medium and small; a rubber bath glove, a bottle of liquid soap and four kinds of tooth powders and mouth washes, a patent exerciser, a bathrobe and slippers, an antiseptic bathbrush, a rubber spray, a thermometer and a whiskbroom. "Then she borrowed my button-hook." POOR AS A CHURCH MOUSE Since Confetti Came Into Use, the Saying Has More Meaning Than at Former Times. The sexton of a fashionable New York church was sweeping into a large mound the bright purple, red and yellow discs of confetti which littered the church entrance and steps. "This month," he said, "I have had already 35 weddings in my church. And at every one of these weddings paper confetti was thrown at the bride instead of rice. "The confetti fashion is very welcome to us sextons. When rice was used our churches were overrun with mice. The saying, 'As poor as a church mouse,' was then meaningless. Why, in my church, where weddings are so popular, several hundreds of mice—fat chaps they were, too—found an ample food supply in the rice that was sprinkled over the brides. "Now that rice has been abandoned for paper confetti, these mice have all disappeared. They were starved out. They couldn't live on paper." Bending with difficulty to collect a few obstinate pieces of the bright paper confetti that stuck to the floor, the old sexton added: "Of course, these bits of paper are much more awkward for me to sweep up than rice. But, even so, I hope the confetti fashion has come to stay." Wycliffe's Praver. Among recent sales of relics and curios in London was that of Wycliffe's "Prayers of the Bible," of the date of 1827 or thereabout. "The rare old black letter of this work puts it," says the noted authority on curics, J. F. Blacker, "at once among the scarcest examples of old "Flete Strete" printing. The noble old divine died in 1834, shortly after he had completed his translation of the Bible into English. These prayers were 'impranted' just about the time when the first English Bible was published by Tyndale in the years 1558-1522. The six parts realized 4220, though a copy of each of the first four parts sold some time ago for €400." Husbandly Trait "When does, your husband find time to do all his reading?" "Usually when I want to tell him something important." Keeping In the Limelight "Don't you think we have laws enough already, senator?" "Oh, yes; but if I don't let 'em know what I'm here for I'll never get here again." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE PITTSBURGH COURIER The negro commercial opportunity is by far better than the Jew was at the beginning. In the first place, the negro has a mighty constituency. There are 10,000,000 persons of his own race to be fed, clothed, doctored, drugged, sheltered and buried. At the lowest estimate, it will take ten dollars per month to feed, shelter and clothe each person, or $120,000,000 annually for the race. Let us suppose there is a profit of five per cent. net on this would yield $65,000,000 annually in the hands of the business men who controlled negro trade. This would give 3,000 negro merchants a living income of $2,900 per year. The Jew had to go outside of his race for business. He had to override racial barriers to succeed commercially. The negro can turn his racial disadvantages to advantages. The negro can succeed commercially among his own people—he has the numbers. But, more, the Jews never were an industrial factor in society. They were, and are too few in number to figure in the labor market, the agricultural field and in the industries. The negro has a monopoly, to a large extent, on labor. He has physical strength, and endurance. He has numbers to-man large jobs. He can furnish labor for a Panama canal or a transcontinental railroad. He is a reliable, traktable laborer. This country needs the negro. He is the best common laborer that the world knows, free from strikes and lockout. This country is dependent upon negro labor. This makes the negro independent. With these points of advantages the negro can enter into the commercial world and succeed, provided, of course, there is racial co-operation. And this there should be. Not every negro will stand by negro enterprises, for this would be impracticable and inexpedient. Let the negro take advantage of race prejudice and complain not. When white clerks insult negro women and will not record them courteous treatment, let the negro simply go ahead and build a store of his own. If a store, owned by a white person, will not treat negroes as other patrons are treated, then let a negro open a shoe store; and if all the negroes buy shoes of the negro merchant. Someone will miss the trade. We might carry the illustration into further detail, but the point sticks out: The negro has a most inviting commercial opportunity. Will he see it? If he does, will he seize it?—From the Southwestern Christian Advocate. Misery is so fond of company he'll walk two miles ter spend de day wid you, but when you can see him comin' dea tell him it isn't yo' so soclake day an slam de door in his wrinkled old face—Atlanta Constitution. Crime antedates civilization and almost began with creation, and has grown in proportion to humanity. It seems like the Good Master in creating man created in him a weakness that he has never been able to overcome. It seems that our greatest men suffer from the same malady that has so long infested man—namely, crime. We don't believe that crime is always committed because of a malicious or malignant desire for same, but oftentimes because of inability to resist Man's mind or conscience is very often invigued into the idea of might is right and under such pressure he is often led into temptation. Memphis Buff City News. Woman doesn't care to shy her jint into the ring. What she most wants is to get her finger into one. It has taken the women of Greece many centuries to win for themselves a place in affairs comparing in importance to that their ancient sisters held, but Catherine Panagiotis shows they are succeeding. There never was a woman physician in modern Greece until Miss Panagiotis gained permission to practice. Her road was not easy, for recognition of her ability came only after a long stay in Egyptian hospitals, where her success at last attracted the attention of the profession. The young woman's goal was a professorship in the University of Athens, where no woman before her time had been admitted to the faculty. The Grecian gray-beards shook their heads, but bowed in the end to her undeniable ability, and a petticoat now has a place on an Athens lecture platform. Ridicule is the weapon of a small mind, but, nevertheless, it is sufficient to hinder many men in a righteous career. A Chicago woman leaped into the water to save a man who she discovered was her husband. But she was game, even then, and brought him ashore. When a man's wife goes away for a week, he doesn't really call it a vacation for him. He calls it a parole, or a reprieve.

Knowledke is an uncomfortable thing when it tells a man that he is wrong. Usually the stickers on a suit case show where the traveler has not been.

The negro in business has been making unusual progress. In 1911 the American negro, engaged in farming, merchandising, real estate, manufacturing, lumbering, insurance, printing and publishing, engineering and banking contributed over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation. Through persistence, initiative and cooperation, thousands of negro men and women in all parts of the United States have developed small business ventures into substantial business enterprises. They have saved and invested money carefully; they have put into their everyday business life the suggestions given them by Dr. Washington and other men who are vitally interested in the race's welfare. Today the outlook for the negro in business is not only bright but actually inspiring, says the Survey. Negro men and women are getting a firm hold on the essentials of success in business—the buying of homes, the extension of business, the opening of factories, the establishment of banks and the better appreciation of commercial pursuits. Dr. Washington has emphasized the importance of the ten million negroes in America becoming the owners and acres of their share of the 700,000,000 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the south and west. He declares that if white men can establish and operate sawmills, coal mines, brick yards, lime kilns and other enterprises so as to secure wealth and happiness, he can see no reason why the negro should not engage in similar work and reap some of the benefits which come to those who own, develop, manufacture and trade in the natural resources of the country. He declares that in at least 38 places in the south and west negroes may build towns and cities similar to Mound Bayon in Mississippi and Bloody in Oklahoma. To carry on this constructive work negro men and women from the colleges and universities are needed. Negroes must organize. There are places in the south today, according to Dr. Washington, for 5,000 additional negro dry goods stores, 5,000 grocery stores, 3,500 drug stores, 2,000 shoe stores, 1,500 millinery stores and 2,000 bankers. Whoseover is sensible of his own faults carms not at others' fallings. Tuskegee institute has no more enthusiastic admirers than Dr. P. A. Johnson and Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York, who attended the recent session of the National Medical association, which was held at the institute. While at Tuskegee they had an opportunity to see what a great work the school is doing for the face, and they have returned home declaring that Tuskegee institute is one of the most interesting places in the United States. "No one could properly estimate the value of Tuskegee institute with its many and varied activities without first having seen it." Dr. Roberts stated to an Age representative. "The institute comprises an area of 3,000 acres of fertile soil, a vast number of costly building and a natural scenery that is strikingly picturesque and fascinating. The science of agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, geology, geometry, zoology, hygiene and sanitation is taught and the results from such teachings are startling and exceedingly gratifying. Practical Christianity is taught, and the entire community is enveloped in a spirit of mutual helpfulness and friendly rivalry in their scientific and industrial pursuits." In a filtration between a woman and a man she always thinks he is in earnest because she isn't. In his promotion to the rank of major, just announced at the war department, Charles Young of the Ninth cavalry, a negro, becomes the first man of his race to attain that grade in the regular army of the United States. Major Young is also the only negro officer of the army who was graduated from the military academy at West Point. He has served with the Ninth cavalry, Tenth cavalry and Twenty-fifth infantry, all negro regiments, during his entire service, with the exception of a year's service in the Seventh cavalry, a white regiment. He is now attached to the American legation at Monrovia, Liberia, and at the request of the Liberian government has been permitted to assist in the organization and instruction of the Liberian army. His record, it is said at the war department, is without blemish. Other women are nearly always suspicious of a beautiful blonde who has long, dark lashes.

The congress was graced with the presence of Prof. Richardson Harrison of Los Angeles, Cal., the noted Negro reader. Mr. Harrison recited "Little Brown Baby," from Dunbar, also Prof. J. E. McGirt of Philadelphia, Pa., the famous Negro poet, entertained the congress with one of his little stories. A selection was sung, "I Need Thee Every Hour," by the Coleridge Taylor quartet, composed of Messrs. Lane, Waldent, Sears and Jackson. To enjoy the best that can be gotten one must attend the congress every Sunday, for there are many good things in store. Many of the delegates who are here to attend the American Missionary convention were there, also Captain Thompson of Fort Porter (white), spoke in the interest of forming a camp of S. of V. He said that his father was a captain of a colored regiment in the war of '61. The matter will be referred to a committee. This will be interesting to Buffalionians to know that the distinguished son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Lewis, Sr., of Michigan street, has been appointed to play left guard on the Central High School football team. He is one of the contestants ii. Howard cup series. Mr. Lewis, Jr. is one of Buffalo's brightest young men. Never in the history of the Buffalo High school has a colored boy been placed on a white football team. To say that young Mr. Lewis will bring credit and honor to his race is simply putting it in a mild way. Elastine Reduso are the most comfortable corset for the well-developed woman.

Loyd's Memorial Congregational church held its harvest home festival Thursday and Friday evenings of last week. It was quite a success.

FINE TEST OF CLEAR SPEECA Conversation with the Blind Will Test One's.Power of Making Listeners Understand You. Let no one boast of his descriptive powers until he has tested them in conversation with a blind person," said the city missionary. "I used to think that I had the knack of making things pretty clear, but after I began to escort the blind on their walks I found that I had not the slightest conception of concise, comprehensive speech. My first experience of the kind was at a naval parade. I guilded two blind men down to Riverside to 'see' the ships. I described to the best of my ability what was going on, but I soon found from the questions they asked that I had given them no idea of what the pageant looked like. I reasoned that the fault must be mine. The men had been blind a good while, but they had retentive memories and an active imagination, and with that material to work on I should have achieved better results.

Even when out alone I talked to myself trying to put into words the pictures I saw." By degrees I acquired the art of seeing my blind charges see through my eyes. My biggest stumbling block was women's clothes. No woman I met anywhere show a keener avidity to keep up with the fashions than those I take out from the blind asylum, and it requires every one of my newly acquired gifts to convey an adequate idea of the season's styles."

Through the well conceived idea of O. L. Scott and William O'Banion a neat purse was presented Rev. Young by Adam Golden in behalf of the members and friends as a token of appreciation for his return. A very pleasant surprise was tended Mrs. Jane Pride at her home on last Wednesday evening by the Ladies at the Guild, the occasion being that of her birthday anniversary. Speeches were made by Rev.

Bourne to the board of education in Atlantic City by the mayor was a step in the right direction. Mr. Bourne has the distinction of being the first Afro-American to be thus honored by the city and state authorities, by both of which he has been confirmed in his right as a citizen to hold the position. THE YOUNG MEN'S BUSINESS LEAGUE The Young Men's Business league of Brooklyn will celebrate its third anniversary by giving a public reception at Crosby hall on Wednesday evening. Nov. 27.

HISTORY OF PROGRESSIVE PARTY Continued from Page One would advocate a $100,000 municipal bond issue, to be, expended for play- grounds and municipal dwelling houses. This would satisfy the poor of the community, and tend to prevent them from embracing the cause of Socialism, he said. Saving of Penrose's charge that he (Filim) had offered him $100,000 for the United States senatorhip, he said; "The charge is ridiculous on the face of it. If any man got that close to Penrose with a million dollars, Penrose would use an ax on him." In closing, he classified the Clapp senatorial committee, investigating campaign funds, as composed of Democrats and George T. Oliver. SMALLPOX SCARE WAS UNCALLED FOR SMALLPOX SCARE WAS UNCALLED FOR After making a thorough investigation, a committee of the Chamber of Commerce appointed to learn the facts as to the extent, of the local smallpox epidemic, reports that "there has been no cause for alarm or apprehension on the part of the public at any time since the first case of smallpox was found, August 9, last." At the same time the committee states its conviction that "it is the duty of the people to submit to vaccination." Out-of-town newspapers are scored in the report for publishing false accounts of the spread of the disease here. The investigation disclosed that the cases totaled only 107, and that 52 of these developed from one case, that of a Polish boy in Pulsak alley. The committee was composed of William H. Davis, Hamilton Stewart and James W. Kinnear. THIS OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE USED While much satisfaction is expressed for the good record of many of our young men and women in the public and high schools, attention is called to another class of young folks whose duties are such that they cannot attend day school, but they can go to school at night and thereby obtain a liberal education. This is an opportunity which they should not neglect. INFLUENCE OF THE CHRISTIAN HOME "Our churches and religious journals are discussing and looking for a worldwide revival. If we are to have this revival it will not be started by the laymen's missionary movement, nor the men and religion forward movement, nor by the church with its ponderous religious machinery, but by the Christian home," says the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell. "The home is the wellspring of the race. From it must flow the streams that shall revive our religious activities and cause the desert places to rejoice and blossom as a rose." BISHOP SCOTT WANTS LIGHT ON AFRICA In discussing the subject, "Opportunities in Africa For Colored Americans," Bishop Isaiah B. Scott asks three leading questions, namely: Why did God make Africa so large? Why so rich? And why did he give it to the Negro race? We would like to hear from some learned and spiritually minded theologian on these questions. Speak up, brethren; the bishop wants to know. DIVISION OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN VOTE The Negro voters are interested in the coming election, and they belong to all parties, says the Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star. It is hoped that they will not be so deeply interested that they will make personal attacks against those of their race who may oppose them. Let us give every one credit for his political views, and when the campaign is over may there be no strained social relations on account of political differences. VERY DIFFICULT AND PUZZLING PROPOSITION If all the dark white people and all the white colored people were grouped together it would puzzle the most eminent anthropologist to designate to a certainty their racial lineage if one is to judge from recent reports of those who are supposed to be authority on the origin of races. The last census figures seemed to indicate that mulattoes were on the increase. They are in a class by themselves and are, therefore, neither white nor black. A MACEDONIAN CRY FROM AFRO-AMERICANS We have read with great satisfaction the report of the doings of the National Negro Business League convention held recently in Chicago, says the Providence (R. L) Advance. From such reports we must come to the positive conclusion that the Negro, not only in business but in all lines, is coming rapidly toward the front rank. While Rhode Island sent no delegates, Boston did. Along this line there seems to be something the matter with the Negroes in this state, and especially in this city. We appear to be leaguesless and leaderless, and our condition has remained the same for the past several years. Everybody's Doing It. Doing What? Why, reading The Courier.
