It is right that this should be the case. Expositions are indicative of progress and tend. to bring about a better understanding as to the needs and aims and aspiration of all races taking part in the display. The race problem which this country has to solve and is solving, is of more di- rect and immediate and vital inter- est to the South than to any other section of our Union, The Southern states are, and of necessity must be, the arena in which are to be settled the problems pertaining to racial re- lations and the status of each race in relation to the other. For we take it that this status has not yet been permanently fixed. ‘That the Negro race has made Frogress along all lines cannot be truthfully gainsayed, No rational individual will attempt to show at this late day that the Negrois retro- grading. And to my mind, it is most fitting that the evidences of this progress the race is making should be brought together in one separate building, where it will be a compar- atively easy matter to take either a cursory view or make a-critical study of the race’s achievements in agri- culture, in mechanics, in art, in man- ufactures and in education. It would not be the part of wisdom to mix the Negro exhibits with those made by the whtte race. The demands for proofs as to the Negro’s powers and capabilities are growing stronger and stronger, and these demands can best be met and satisfied by having a distinct, collective Negro exhibit If Southern white people never make any worse or more unholy discrimi- nation against us as a race, than to give usa separate building in which to show our progress, I, for one, will cease to make any ado about thi despicable American prejudice. The precedent of having a Negro building has been set, and it is a good one: there should be no dissenting voice Rather should there be greater unior among us, and a more emphatic de- termination to let the world see that the Negro has kept pace with hi fairer brother along the journey to ward industrial excellence for whic! Americans are becoming more ani more conspicuous. Ic justice to themselves as we as to show their appreciation for th vast amount of help received fror without, the Negrocs of the Unite States should take advantage of th opportunity afforded at The Sout Carolina Inter-State and West India Exposition and make such a uniqu attractive and instructive exhibitio _ as shall forever silence those wh have hitherto been doubtful an skeptical as to what the race has a¢ complished oris capable of accon lishing. What, it may beasked, is the ger eral plan of the management for th Negro Exhibit? In reply to th .question we may say that we ha two plans, or one plan with two we defined features. They are the rest of considerable thought and will | - difficult toexecute. In the first place, the plan is have an exhibit similar in kind those which were made at Atlan and Nashville. In carrying out tt this feature of the Negro Exnibit typical specimens of the Negro’s skill and genius. It is expected that it will be the most complete exhibit ever made in the name of she race, Quality and not quantity, general- ly speaking, is what is wanted. “The very best productions in the arts and sciences are needed to make the dis- play truly symbolic of the race's possibilities. Inventions willbe shown, such as Eugene Burkins Ma- chine Gun, L. C. Bailey's Truss, A.C. Bailey's Car Coupler and many others not so familiar to the pub. lic." Inthe Bureau of Education, of which Prot. Kelly Miller of Wash- Jington, D.C., is manager, will be made exhibits showing the cerrela. tive relations of the different kinds of schools, from the Kindergarten up throngh the Grammar! Manval ‘Training and Industrial Schools to the College and University... In this Bureau will appear also the Negro exhibit which was taken to Paris. ‘The second feature will be some- what of a contrast. We intend to display in it not so much what has been done in the past as to point out the possibilities of the future along certain lines. In other words, we propose to discover to the Negro themselves the oppor- tunities that await them in manufec- turing, mechanic, dairying, poultry raising, millinery, trained nursing, and the various mercantile pursuits. To illustrate: Rev. T. W. Thurston, superintendent of the Ashley-Bailey Silk Mill, at Fayettville, N. C., which employs Negro help altogether, has been appointed Chief Director of the Manufacturing Department. He [will send some of his best machines to the exposition in charge of picked employes, and will thus give prac: tical demonstration of silk manufac- turing by Negroes. To have the work done right there by colored boys and girls will be an _unanswer- able argument. If the Charleston Exposition does nothing more for the Negro than show his abiltty to han die textile machinery, it will have made ample returns to the manage ment for all the energy and thought expended in collecting the exhibit. The prospects for the Negro ex hibit at Charleston are bright. The building has been given to us, we should ask for nothing more. A GRAND ONGANIZATION. The Race Union, under title of the True Eleven, is taking firm foothold in the state. The latest lead has been taken by Topeka. We have a grow- ing branch here, and invite all sister cities to investigate the True Eleven, We all must be represented in the secret state meeting at Atchison, Dec. 26 and 27.

It is better that he should be educated— better for him and better for all. Much has been done for him already and much more can be done. ‘The warmest encouragement Booker T. Washington has received has been from the people of thr South. He was sympathetically received by an immense audience of Southern whites in Atlanta eight years age. We re- fer to the magnitude of his work only to praise it: and to arouse the whites to friendly emulation. Let the truth be known that the Negroes are going forward. It will the better stir us up to ourown work, In Georgia the assessed value of property held by Negroes is placed at $15,000,000, representing a real market value of $30,000,000. Of this sum $r,000.000 of assessment or $2,000,000 market value, was added in the year just closed, The wealth of the Negroes of the Southern states isnot less than $400,900,000 The building up of wealth followed the sharpening of the intellect. If the untutored colored man of the past quarter of a century could amas: almost half a billion dollars, why not the educated Negro during the nex: quarter of a century quadruple the amount.—The Atlanta Constitution MRS. HANNA'S NEGRO PROTEGE. We take the following from the European dispatches: ‘United States Senator Hanna's wife lately visited Mme. Marchesi, the noted teacher of singing, to as- certain what progress is being made by two of the latters's pupils, Amer- ican girls whom Mrs, Hanna has supported here for the last two years while they have been studying mu- sic. Mrs. Hanna also presented another promising singer, a contralto from Washington, the finest type of oct. aroon, aged twenty, named Lydis Leland.

Came Here Very Poor URING the summer, Mr. Clay D Odell, the Negro grocer of Topeka, attended the annual session of the National Negro Busi- ness Mens’ league at Chicago. He is one of the most successful Negro business men in the United States. While in Chicago he was interviewed by a correspondent ofthe Springfield (Mass.) Daily Republican, which Sea aeneeed eed E > =." - | printed a storytelling of the rise of the Topeka man, He tuld, in a modest way, of his achievements. Clay Odell eame to Topeka twenty- two years ago. He was a poor boy; without a cent in the world. Today he ownsa half interest in a grocery ‘that aggregated $122,000 during last year. He believes that the Negro who will work can win, Hehas dem- onstrated that this is true. He was born in Kentucky. His mother and father died when he was quite young. Because he was ill- treated by his guardian he ran away to Kansas. When he reached Topeka he got ajobas a farm hand. He was willing and he worked hard, and a year later he came into the city. He was able to goto school for afew years and she reached the seventh grade. Then ‘he had to stop the day school, but that did not discourage him. He went to work for R.G. Hughesas a delivery boy, and during the first six years of his service he spent sev- eral hours every evening in Ponds business school. He was getting an education, and although it was hard, lhe thoughtit was worth while, ‘Ten years later he entered the service of J. §. Sproat. He was still delivery boy. But he was still in earnest sue succeeding in life. He re- mained with Mr. Sproat for nin years, During the last five years o! his service he was head clerk. ‘The delivery boy was getting on, He had saved some money, so tc years ago whea he had an opportu |nity to go into business for himsel he was able to realize his ambition With Speed Hughes he purchase: the Shawnee Grocery. |"_ In this wiseClay Odell tose fron delivery boy to sole manager of an half owner in one of the largest gro cery stores in Topeka. An inventory of the stock indicates thatit is worth $12,000. Under the delivery boy o the old days are fifteen clerks. He is still a young man, His business is growing. He has a pret- ty home at 630 Western avenue] which is his own, He has a wife and children, and his children enjoy the privileges of free schools and are getting an education. The other day he was asked to what he attributed his success. And with almost a schoolboy’s diffidence he told the secret of it. “L attended strictly to business— atuck close to it,” he said. It is a long way from delivery boy to merchant. But Clay Odell wil tell you that it has been worth while—Topeka Daily Capital. ‘The above story of grit, push, en- ergy, perseverance and strict integ- rity tells the story of success of a Negro of whom Topeka is proud. In it is found the best method of solv- ing the problem. ‘The world wants and demands brains, coupled with energy and integrity. It recognizes and pays for it, regardless of the color of the skin, ‘THE PLAtNDEAL- Ex has known Clay Odell for years. We have seen him climb from the humbie position as porter in a gro- cery to one of the proprietors and the manager of the largest retail gro: ery store i Topeka. He has achiev- ‘dl this success by strict attention to business, and by being polite and pleasant to all who come in contact fwith him, Among Negroes he is held inhigh esteem, both as a business man anda husband. He is taking hold of the problems of life in the right way. His career is one of pre- cept and example. He lives in close touch with his people and is con- nected with every movement calcu- lated to benefit them. He is a mem- ber of the Masonic fraternity and a Knights Templar. His is an example vorthy of emulation. Topeka and Kansas have a num: ber of young men who are giving evidence of a high order of intelli- genceand ability. They are lifting the banner of the race to a higher level. Faith in the race must be proved by works. - asin ween wenrers: The following, from.a strong arti- cle in the Richmond, Virginia, News, suggests the inevitable outcome of the lawlessness of the lynchers if the spirit remains much longer uncheck- ed: “State sovereignty is the most valuable principle of our government and should be maintained at all haz- ards. Yet, if the states continue to permit horrors like those in Texas and Missouri, it will be a serious ques- tion with thinking people whether the General Government should rot be asked to interfere, even if an amendment to the Constitution should be required. It may be bet- ter to impair a great principle than to bring up our children to regard the burning’ and slow torture to death ‘of men by mobs as the common and prop r method of punishing crime. Such acts revenge themselves gradu. ally but surely. The race guilty 0 them suffers more in the end, by deg radation and loss of civilization; thar 'the race whichis the victim of them.’ Bully for President Roosevelt Tom McNeal, Editor of The Topeka Mail and §Breeze Pays His Respects to the Southern .Kickers. OUBTLESS our readers have seen many things in regard to the Roosevelt-Washington dinner, but none have reached the, spot in such astrongand forcible man- ner as the following from the pen of| Tom McNeal, in the Topeka Mail and Breeze. Mr. McNeal is one of Kansas’ foremost writers and never minces matters as may be plainly seen: The southern bloods, that is, a good many of them, led by that one- eyed monstrosity, self-confessed mur- derer, bully and blackgrard, Ben Tillman ot South Carolina, are roar- ing because the president of the United States invited a man who has demonstrated that he is a scholar, a gentleman, a man of marvelous intellectual and business capacity, and aboveall an orator of great pow- er, to eat at his table. And why? Simply and only because the man, Booker T. Washington, is a few shacles darker than some of the peo- ple who are expressing their deep horror at this attempt, as they say, to establish social equality. Let ‘em roar. There has never been a criticism made on the action of achief execu- tive that had less sense in it than this criticisim of President Roose- velt. It is not denied that Booker T. Washington is a gentleman. It can- not be denied that he has, by his persistent energy and ability buil up an institution that is the marve ofthe age. Itis not denied that he is clean and has good manners, The only thing that can be said abou him is that he is black and that he was once aslave. Has it been th custom to refuse to dine with men o different race from our own? No, Even these fools who are fill ing the atmosphere with their howl: have never claimed that distinctior of that sort ought to be made. Th: Chinese are generally regarded as a1 inferior race. We have forbidde them by law from immigrating t this country, but when a few year ago the celebrated Chinese multi millionaire and statesman _visitec this country he was feated and fetec wherever he went. He sat down a banquets with statesmen, soldier and the blue blooded aristocracy 0 the East and Sonth. The Chinese minister, Wu, one of the greates diplomats, statesmen and scholars 0 his time, has been repeatedly invite ty allsorts of functions and thi very greaest institutions of learn ing in the country have felt hon ored by his presence, And yet there is certainly as much reason t hold a prejudiee against the Chines as against the African race. Neither is this action of Presiden Roosevelt withort precedent. Frec Douglas was invited to dine witl President Cleveland, Fred was a fev shades lighter, perhaps, than Booke ‘T. Washington, but he had the tain' of the race just the same. In December, 1898, President Mc Kinley and the governor of the stat of Alabama were entertained at Tus Kegee Institute by this same man Booker T. Washington. A corres pondentof the New Orleans Picaune a red hot Democrat peper, was pres ent and declared that no hosts coul have been more thoughtful or court cous in torestalling the wants of thei guests tha these refined and educat ed Africans, Mr. and Mrs. Booker T Washington. If the president of th United States and the governor © Alabama could eat at the table o Booker T. Washington without ex citing any remark, how do thes Southern kickers figure that it is go ing to upset the whole social fabri if the president of the United State invites Booker T. Washington to e2 at his table. When Tillman was at Fort Scot the other day he delivered himself o |a few remarks that were in keepin; ho Sit, Lite coca sateebaiinn.. tie anti per centof the Negroesof the South have white Democratic Southern blood flowing in their veins aad yet Tillman says that the Southern peo- ple will keep themselves pure racial ly, Itisa common thing to hear one of these old time Southerners declare that he was raised by a black tammy. It occurs to us that a man who drew sustenance from the breast of an African mammy ought not to get very much outraged when an ed- ucated and refined black man is in- vited to eat at the president's table. Now, if the president had invited some of these Southern gentlemen to dine with Booker T, Washington they might have had some reason to say that Roosevelt was trying to force social equality, but they didn’t have to eat with Mr. Washington. If the president had invited Ben Till- man to dine at his table at the szme time with the head of the Tuskege Institute, Booker T. Washington would have had aright to get warm about itand say thathe did not caro to dine with his inferiors, but ifthe president had invited Tillman to eat with him the day after he invited Washington, then the colored man would have no real right to com- plain. To make this howl seem more in- consistent and absurd than it might otherwise be, Booker T. Washington || Was sent to Washington as the repre- sentative of the element that is ask- '|ing the president to appoint Demo- ‘Jerats to federal positions in the '|South. If he was good enough to ‘Jact as their representative he was *|good enough to eat at the table of | the president.

"I killed the president because he was an enemy of the people—of the good working people. I am sorry for my crime." These were the words of the anarchist, Czolgosz, as he was hurried to the electric chair at the state penitentiary in Auburn, New York. Promptly at the hour set, the prisoner was landed into eternity and the body buried in the prison grave yard according to the laws of New York. Throughout the confinement, the prisoner was sullen and apparently indifferent to his fate and the words above quoted are the only evidence of repentance from the assassin of our third president. Very few Negroes or whites either, have a chance to dine with the president, and we don't blame Booker T. Washington for accepting. We might do the same! The Republicans will elect Frank W. Harrison county commissioner next month. Mr. Harrison was nominated last spring and is a representative farmer and tax-payer. When you go to the polls don't forget him. No class of citizens will appreciate more than the Negroes, the recent gift to Washburn College. While the Negro is barred from none of the Kansas colleges, Washburn is one of the places where Negro students are always welcomed and encouraged. We would like to see more of our people enrolled there. The Missouri Federation of Womens' clubs closed their annual meeting at St. Joseph last week. The most interesting question before this meeting was the "color" question. Referred by the National Federation to the State Federations for settlement, the Missouri compromise will hardly pacify Massachusetts or Georgia. California will no doubt have a chance to see a warm time when the National Federation meets next year. Meagre dispatches from the scene of the race troubles in Louisiana render it impossible to form a clear understanding of the cause of the trouble in Washington Parish and lay the blame where it properly belongs. On the 29th ult., it was reported that one Crea Lett was operating a restaurant at a camp meeting without a license. The constable was directed to investigate the matter and arrest Lett for violating the law, Taking a possee of men, the constable repaired to the place only to be fired upon from ambush by friends of Lett. The result was that fourteen Negroes are dead and many are wounded and the spirit of race feeling has been raised to a high pitch. The governor of Louisiana has called out troops to quell the riot This is one side of the story. We want to know the other side. Miss Maggie Yochum, daughter of Rev. P. D. Yochum, Lawrence, Kans. has been a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mosley for the last two weeks during which she has been royally entertained at supper at Miss Georgia Allen, Mrs. Frankie Barber, Sarah Hinkle, and Mollie Davis' residences. Specially entertained at the home of Mrs. W. H. Hudson and at the True Eleven Hall by Toussaint Social and Library circle.

Satan sits laughingly by amused at how many different tales are told about one thing. Your safety is in being forgiven ninety-nine times a day. Truth and truth only will conquer the world. The True Eleven has decided that every member must read and write well, consequently their night school meets every Friday night. Eleven members give their free services as teachers, four of whom are graduates, and 4 are second, third, and fourth year in high school. The public will soon be invited to see the work done especially by the old people in this school. Ellingham high school has 67 male students; only two are colored students. Gosnold Hudson was elected last week by them as president of the athletic club with Prot. Parlett of the faculty as treasurer. Mrs. Mary Snackelford, after undergoing an important operation, has returned from the hospital greatly improved. Rev. Johnston preached at Shiloh Sunday. Prospects of peace in that circle seem good. LEAVENWORTH, KANS. The hospital annex which has been under construction for several months is now completed. The completion of this institution has been looked for with great anticipation by a few earnest women who have banded themselves together for the purpose of erecting an institution which is indeed a credit to city and a lasting monument to the earnest and uniting efforts of these women. The undertaking of such a work was not without a great sacrifice on their part; without a cent of finance nor any resources from which to draw these women depended upon the generosity of the public and they devised various ways by which to raise a surplus to begin the erection of the building which now stands in its completeness ready to receive occupants. The date for the opening has been set for Wednesday. Prompt, Clean White Work Collars.....2c Culls.....4c Shirts.....8c Ladies's and Gent's Woolen Garments laundered with- out shrinkage.
