THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House VOLUME IV. Five thousand Delegates Heard the Addresses at the Opening Session of the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress in Atlanta, Ga., Notable Men Speak. The opening session of the Negro Young Peoples Christian and Educational congress was held in the auditorium at Piedmont park yesterday afternoon. Fully eight-thousand Negroes from all over the United States were in attendance upon the opening session among them being representative men and women, the leaders of the race in matters of religion and education. Besides the immense throng of Negroes there were a number of white people in attendance upon the meeting. The congress was opened with a song service, led by a trained chorus of 200 voices under the direction of William Roseborough of Nashville, Tenn., and which was joined in by the entire audience. The excellent singing was one of the features of the opening session as it will be during the entire congress. After singing and prayer by C. O. Bouth, W. B. Matthews of the executive committee, introduced Bishop W. J. Gaines, who addressed the audience on "The Object of the Congress." The address of Bishop Gaines was received with marked signs of appreciation when he gave expression to the sentiment; "The white people of the south are our friends and not our enemies, and though often the worst element of our race brings shame upon us, the white people are wise enough and generous enough not to discount those of us who are honestly trying to make good citizens." It was received with enthusiastic applause. GOVERNOR CANDLER SPEAKS. After the conclusion of his address Bishop Gaines introduced Governor Candler, who, in a strong and characteristic speech, welcomed the congress to the state and to the city that had, he said, been built up by the brain and brawn of southern white and black men. The governor said that a gathering like this of representative Negroes was the beginning of an era in the history of the Negro race and meant much for the Negroes' progress. The strict attention paid him and the number of interruptions to applaud showed how the audience accepted the remarks of the governor. The above is from our representative, Miss Willa Smith; we are indebted to the Atlanta Constitution for the following report of speeches delivered: Mr. President: I have been invited here for the express purpose of extending to you a cordial welcome to the state of Georgia in the name of the people of Georgia of every race and color. (Applause) It is appropriate that the first session of your Christian and educational congress should be held in Georgia. Georgia was the last to admit African slavery within its borders and today we have more of the sons and daughters of Africa in our state than any other state in the world. It is fitting that you should hold your meeting in Atlanta, because it is the representative city of the south, and contrary to the statements made by many, it is not built up by foreign people and foreign capital but is built up by the brain and brawn of Georgia white men and Negroes. The object which has brought you here is indeed commendable—to elevate the African race. The people of the south, aided by the people of the north, the people of the west and of every quarter of this great republic, have helped the youths of the African race to educate and just how well we have succeeded, you know as well as I do, and God knows that we have done the best we could. We have taught to and to give to you the broadest possible education; but there are other lessons than those taught in books that must be learned well—lessons that must be taught around the fireside, in Sunday schools, at the altar. Our youths, white or black, in every quarter of this great republic, in every condition of life must be taught the lesson of industry, sobriety and honesty. Your distinguished chairman, in his address, told you that money was no respector of person, that business was no respector of person, and he is right. When I want to employ a man to do a piece of work I never stop to ask whether he is white or colored, but whether he can do the work, and that is the only question which determines my employing him. Can he do the work, and can he do it well? This is what your race must learn, to do their work well. We have reached the place in the history of our country where every tub must stand on its own bottom. I am surrounded by men or your race today on this platform whom I honor as highly as I do the mayor of the city of Atlanta, who is also here, because they are honest men, because they are reliable men. (Applause) The disposition to judge a man on his merit in this country is growing and it will continue to grow. This movement will do more to lift up the Negro race than anything thing that has been in this country. I commend to you for your guidance the motto of this commonwealth "Wisdom, Justice and Moderation." Let wisdom govern your deliberation, justice govern your action and moderation characterize your utterances. I will not detain you, invoking the blessings of Providence and the guidance of God upon the deliberations of this congress." MAYOR MIM'S WELCOME MAYOR MIMS WELCOME Mayor Livingston Mims followed the governor and welcomed the congress; to the "center of the south." The mayor said he was glad to welcome the Negroes as "American citizens." When the mayor said, "You are here in the south to stay and we would not be without you and in fact I want all good Negroes to stay in Georgia," he was cheered to the echo. The mayor spoke as follows: The mayor spoke as follows. "This is the largest audience that I have had the pleasure to address; even when I was a candidate for mayor I never addressed such large audiences, I am sorry that I am not governor for often on occasions of this kind when we speak he usually speaks first and makes my speech for me and leaves such a little for me to say and this time even your Bishop anticipated what I was going to say and said a part of what I had made up my mind to say to you. The governor welcomed you in the name of the state of Georgia, and perhaps Atlanta is the largest portion of the state of Georgia, with a few borders, such as Savannah, Augustus and Macon around it. Atlanta is the greatest city in the state; yes, the greatest in this whole south. When your committee of representative colored men waited on me some time ago and invited me to be here on this occasion and deliver an address I assured them that there was nothing that would give me a greater pleasure than to welcome you here to this city. It is appropriate that you should hold your first congress in the city of Atlanta, the city of many colleges for the education of your people, a city with good public schools, and a city where opportunities are given all people to live. This is the most representative body of Negroes that has ever assembled in this country. Your temporary chairman said you were here to stay and we wish that you were to stay in Atlanta, for we want all the good people to remain in this city and the bad to leave. There are some bad white people that we would like to have leave as well as the bad Negroes. I find some pleasure in reflecting back over a few years ago when I occupied a different relation to your people, yes different from what it is today. I find pleasure in this because I was TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 22, 1902. been otherwise. ("That sho' is the truth; he is one good white man;" came the reply from a delegate seated on the front row.) You are here to consider some great questions touching your condition in this country, great economic questions, and I pray that you will be able to accomplish what you have started out to do. I do not do much praying but I hear a deal of it done, and take it in by absorption, and this is paying a compliment to my wife, for she is the praying member of the family. The educational work you are to do for your people is important, for I believe that the people ought to be educated—they make better citizens. I have visited the public schools in this city and have heard the colored children recite as well as the white. I take interest in the education of your people and we are striving to do our duty by all the people. I shall not take more of your time. I extend to you a cordial welcome to the city of Atlanta." Mayor Mims was followed by P. J. Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist church, who welcomed the congress to Atlanta on behalf of the city churches. He said that while Governor Candler, by his presence, gave the congress dignity, Bishop Gaines gave it grace, and he appeared to give it color. BISHOP WALDEN TALKS. Bishop J. M. Walden, of Cincinnati, Ohio, fraternal delegate to the congress from the northern Methodist church, next addressed the congress. He spoke of the progress of education in the south among the Negroes. Among other things he said that the Negroes should remember with gratitude that nearly 1,000,000 sons and daughters were now being educated in the common schools of the country and that since the white people of the south pay the bulk of the taxation, the Negroes should not forget that their white friends here were paying for the education of their children. "I cannot let the opportunity pass to praise the Negro Young People's congress for the excellent order that they maintained in the city during the deliberations of that body. There is nearly alway a possibility of disorder where there are large gatherings even among the better class of white people, but with 5000 people in the city for nearly a week there was not a single case calling for police interference among the delegates to the congress". Chief Ball made this statement last night when asked by a representative of the Constitution what he thought of the order kept by the Negro Young People's congress that has just met in Atlanta. "I am glad to have the chance," continued the chief, "to express my appreciation of the Negroes who attended the congress. Not only did they keep perfect order, but they had a marked effect on our own Negroes in the city who seemed to feel a sort of pride in the fact that such a meeting was going on in their midst and the police had fewer arrests to make during the past week. All the better class of Negroes in the city attended the congress and those who did not attend tried to show that they felt enough interest in the proceedings to keep quiet. I was impressed not only with the elevating influence of education and Christianity with the Negro, but with the force of example it furnished others who are among the class that give the police trouble. PÉRFECT ORDER WAS KEPT. "The street cars were crowed every day," continued the chief, "and the street car men tell me that there was not an instance where the slightest trouble arose in handling the immense crowds. My men and officers report that although the streets were filled with visitors, the good order was exceptional. Not a single member of the congress was seen on becatur street, the thoroughfare that usually proves an attractions to Negroes visiting the city on ordinary occasions. The saloons took in not a penny extra on account of the large crowd of visitors. The five thousand visitors who are among the best of their race, were singly and collectively as quiet and well behaved as any body of people could possibly have been. A comparison of this crowd with the excursions that come into the city on holiday occasions when a different element mixes in the strong, makes a marked contrast. Take our Fourth of July celebrations, when carloads of Negroes arrive who have not had the elevating influences that surround the members of the congress that has just met here. We have to double up the police and the police barracks are overcrowded with prisoners. The congress, I am told, has accomplished a great work, but they have done nothing better I think, than to show the people what order can be kept by a body of Negroes who are laboring to elevate and assist their race to make of themselves good and law-abiding citizens." N. W. BAPTIST Association Holds a Great Meeting in Topeka. The Northwestern Baptist Association met last week with the B. st., Baptist church, North Topeka. Rev. H. W. White, the efficient pastor, his amiable people and their friends had made ample arrangements for the entertainment of the large delegation. The Sunday School convention opened Tuesday morning with Missionary Vanleu as president. An impressive assemblage, composed of men and women from various parts of the state was present. Touching addresses and beautiful essays were delivered. Wednesday, the woman's missionary day, was interesting indeed. It was a beautiful sight to see veteran old christian women mingling with the younger women in their efforts to raise the standard of home life, to help the poorer children of the barren districts and furnish help to poor churches, etc. Mrs. M. D. Jones the president showed great business tact as an organizer in the results which attended that department of the work. Among the prominent ones whose brain and efforts contributed so much to the success of not only this but other conventions are: Mrs. F. B. Grant, Frances Landers, Emma Gaines, Anna Madison, Julia Robiason and Ollie Henderson. THE ASSOCIATION PROPER. Thursday morning, when the Rev. W. L. Grant called the association to order, 160 delegates responded to the roi1 call. It was a neatly dressed, intelligent, orderly body of Christian men and women. Every train thereafter brought scores of others until the register showed 235 delegates and 50 visiting ministers and professional representatives. Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Nebraska had cor- REV. W. L. GRANT, MODERATOR NORTH WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. responding messengers present Rev. Mark Thompson, A.M., Hacon, Mo. read a fine address on the "Significance of Young People's Movements." He traced the origin of young people's societies and showed that they are forces that will direct the churches in the near future. It was a masterly address, well received. Eloquent addresses were made by Revs. D. B. Jackson, Dr. Earnest Hall, W. P. Banks, W. E. Helm, B. D. and Rev. Burton, Des Moines, Ia. Perhaps some of the ablest preaching ever heard in Kansas was done by Revs. Frazier, Mc Neal, Richardson, the Banks brothers, E. M. Wilson, H. E. Strickland, Dr. J. F. Thomas, Chicago, and P. D. Skinner, D. D. Their sermons showed special preparations and each seemed to have surpassed his record. One of the important features of the meeting was Rev. Grant's annual address. It dealt with the condition of the district and state religiously; the Divore question; an educated ministry; Church Polity; the education of the masses; the state industrial school should be separated from sectarian influences; the establishment of a Home for the Aged, Infirm and Orphans; the imperative need of ministers taking the lead in inaugurating business enterprises: the higher duties and achievements of citizenship; a separation of the better class of Negroes from the lower classes; better salaries for pastors etc. It is said that this was one of the most pointed, interesting documents ever presented before a similar gathering. I. has ordered printed Rev. E. Arlington Wilson's welcome paper on. Why Baptist Better Salaries," was a beautiful production and elicited favorable comment from every quarter. The address of Prof. W. R. Carter, principal of the Topeka Industrial Institute, was stirring and eloquent appeal in behalf of industrial training for Negro youth: Dr. J. F. Thomas and missionary Vanlen also moved the large audience to deep thinking. The association elected the following named persons to constitute a Board of Directors, to establish a $10,000 Home: Rev. J. R. Richardson, Rev. H. W. White, Dea H. I. Monroe, H. F. Frazier and Mrs. Emma Gaines. The funeral committee reported $611.40. Rev White has beautified the B. st., church edifice inside and out, with a white coat of paint, cleared it of debt and entertained the Association in grand style. The sessions were more largely attended than is usual on such occasions. Saturday and Sunday the association met at Garfield park. Large audiences greeted the speakers on all occasions. THE PLAINDEALER was made the official organ of the association. Rev. James Thomas, Salina, was prominent as an orator. Revs. Tutt and M. S. Jones were shining stars. Rev. Brown, of Indianapolis, Ind., left good impressions. It is the concensus of opinion that this was the grandest meeting in the history of the organization. The officers are: Moderator; Rev. W. L. Grant, Kansas City, Kas.; vice moderator, Rev. J. H. Ramey, Hutchinson; recording secretary, Dea. J. E. Lewis, Wichita; corresponding secretary, Dea. H. I. Monroe, Topeka; treasurer, Dea. Philip Hyde, Wichita. MASONIC MEETING. There will be a great gathering at the mouth of the Kaw next week; three grand bodies meet at the same time and place, at Kansas City, Kansas; grand parade of Knights Templars and Blue Lodges; on Friday, Aug. 27th Competitive Drill between Fair West Commandery of Kansas City, Mo., Northwest Commandery of St Joe., Mo., and Emanuel of Kansas City, Mo., first prize $25, second $10. All of Missouri and Kansas will be there. There will be a grand picnic at Kerr's park, installation at night at M. P. O. hall. Bro. Blind Boone, of Euclid No. 2, will render some choice selections. The Grand Lodge is growing under the guidance and protection of the eagle eyes of the brethren. This Grand Lodge consists of young and middle-aged brothers who can steer the old ship to safety. That we do not have to depend upon any one individual is clear from the fact that Prince Hall Grand Lodge has as many bright, brainy Masons as the white Grand Lodge. We change Grand Master every two years while our white brothers change every year. Some years ago it was difficult to find a large number who could do the business of the order properly. That is not true now. The great majority of the order are bright, energetic, live, honest and intelligent fax payers, farmers laborers, mechanics, and men of other professions. They are paying thousands of dollars into the charity fund every year, under an established rule. Masons are like other people, they believe in passing the grand offices around, in order that each one can have the proper knowledge of the routine of work. Honor is due all that deserve it and Prince Hall Grand Lodge members recognize nothing but fair dealing with the members. The Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery are growing and are destined to be important factors in the near future. Dr. Sol, Thompson, the popular physician of Kansas City, Kas., and promoter of the Douglas hospital one of the most needed institutions in that city, for colored people, if the present Grand Eminent Commander. He is fair and impartial in the order and speaks nothing but kind words for his valliant Si Knights. Grand High Priest Gilmore, of Leavenworth, has made a good officer. He is kind and congenial to his companions and fair can be. The Chapter is growing The Topeka Knights and Companies will go down next Sunday even In its recent session the Western Negro Press Association prepared and now submits to the people the following address: NEGRO CITIZENSHIP. No question today of a political nature should so vitally concern the American Negro as that of his status as an American citizen. It is useless at this time to discuss the question whether his enfranchisement, at the close of the war, was a wise political measure or not. The consensus of intelligent opinion now seems to be that in matters political the Negro has been a disappointment to his friends and has measured up to the full expectation of his enemies. It is but just to say, however, that if the Southern people had welcomed him as a political ally and had recognized him as a factor in civil affairs at the close of the war, and if the Negro had shown more of a disposition to accept and deal with local and state conditions as they were rather than as they hoped them to be, Negro citizenship today might have been better established and maintained by public opinion than we find it. The trend of sentiment is against any national interference or settlement of this question, and the idea seems to be that the states as such, have alone the right to fix the status of American citizenship. The federal government has the right to remedy any denial or abridgement of the right of suffrage by reducing the ratio of representation in Congress of any state in proportion to its voting rather than to its numerical strength. Confessedly it would be much better ultimately to have all the states treat its citizens justly and to make no distinction based upon race or previous condition of servitude in the adjustment of a political question so vital as that of citizenship. But past experience shows that there is a tendency in some of the Southern states to deny the right of suffrage to Negro illiterates, even in states where education is made a test, and to confer the right of suffrage by indirect yet effective expedients to white illiterate voters. This being true the onl' remedy then left us by the Constitution is that of reduced representation in Congress of States that enfranchise illiterate whites and disfranchise illiterate blacks in plain violation of the federal constitution, which says that, in no event, shall this be doe. The Negro press of the country can do a great deal of good in keeping this matter of disfranchisement before the nation, and especially so in calling the attention of Congressmen who are to be elected this fall to this provision of the Constitution and to point out its plain violation. We want no cheap citizenship in our republic; no servility, no serfdom should find any lodging place under the stars and stripes. If blacks in Louisiana are disfranchised on account of being illiterates we must insist that whites be disfranchised for the same reason; and that Congressional representation be limited to the unmember of those who have the right to vote. Let it be understood that we do not object so much to property qualification or to an educational qualification as a voting test; but to the racial basis which is prohibited by the Constitution of the United States. As one of the best means of applying remedies to the abridgement of suffrage in the States, colored citizens in some of the States are testing the constitutionality of such acts before the Supreme Court of the United States. Much can be done by the Negro press to encourage our people to give financial aid to those who are making manly fights for Negro citizenship. The Afro-American Council should also be supported in its efforts to protect our citizens and to uphold their rights in the courts of our land. During the ensuing campaign the colored press can do a great deal to call attention to these questions of a public interest that vitally concern our people, such as our practical phases of education NUMBER 32. Colored Press Association Outlines Methods Designed to Help Along the Advancement of the Races Will Make a Strong and United Effort for the Prosperity of all. for the masses and better special advantages for the individual, political and civil rights to all citizens regardless of race: broader opportunities for American Negroes because of our foreign possessions. In short, America has the opportunity to test the highest phase of her Christian and civil institutions in dealing with the weaker and darker races of the earth, and the Negro press should be engaged in moulding a public sentiment that will not permit the United States to deal otherwise than fairly and justly with those races that have been added to our domain either by choice or conquest. It will also greatly enhance Negro citizenship if the press will urge the young Negroes of our country to become producers rather than consumers, and to endeavor to open up and improve every opportunity to make themselves felt in the commercial world by engaging in business pursuits, accumulating homes and making themselves indispensable factors in American life. Nor should we discourage the aspirations of those youths who desire higher education as a means of making themselves proficient in the professions, and having a very important bearing upon citizenship. We must also encourage Negro leadership as a most potent means of elevating the masses and securing and maintaining their civil, political and personal rights in all sections of our great country. Nor should agriculture, in which more than half the American people are engaged, be overlooked by the press in efforts to better our condition as citizens. The young Negro should be encouraged to leave our crowded cities and to seek homes—farms—in agricultural sections where they can develop the highest and best citizenship possible under our free institutions. The young Negro should be constantly reminded of the fact that no mere tenant, no day laborer either in city or country, will ever be regarded as the equal of one who owns his farm and is an honored tax payer in his community. Also, the idea should be impressed upon him that if prejudice confronts him in other avenues of American life, it is upon the farm that he will meet less of this than in other callings, and that mother earth stands ready to nourish and support all her children who will appeal to her by honest and industrious labor. The celebration of Emancipation Day will be also a potent means of stimulating the patriotism of our children and arousing in them a feeling of gratitude for those who died in a defense of their liberty as represented by the Stars and Stripes. The Negro press should see to it that these celebrations be held in all sections, and that in song and story the memory of our dead heroes be revered as sacred, and that deeds of valor, both of blacks and whites, be not forgotten by those who live and enjoy a land made fruitful by the blood that has been shed upon innumerable battlefields, in order that a government of the people, by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth. We believe the condition of our people can be greatly improved by the united efforts of our ministers and the press. During the past twenty years, through misguided zeal, our ministers have unduly urged our people beyond their means in erecting numerous empires FRIDAY, AUG. 22, 1902 Cooper Should Rest Easy. The esteemed Western World published at Oklahoma City, Okla., by hustling John C. Leftwich, takes desperate chances on enlarging our bump of vanity by bracketing Mr. E. E. Cooper with Dr. Booker T. Washington, giving both double column cuts, under the caption of "Our National Leaders." Dr. Washington is styled the "greatest colored educator in the world," and Mr. Cooper is let down easily as the "greatest colored editor in the United States." Our modesty forbids further comment than to say that Bro. Leftwich's encouraging compliment stirs us anew to live up to the expectations of our friends and large constituency of readers. We stand uncovered.—Colored American, Washington, D. C. Bro. Cooper should take things cooly as Bro. Leftwich wanted to "go to press" and was doubtless short on "copy" which very easily accounts for this outburst. POLITICAL NOTES. Hon. J. R. Burton, U. S. Senator, will stump the state under the direction of the state central committee notwithstanding the report that he was ignored. He is coming to the front on the Cuban question. Hon. T. T. Kelley, next state treasurer, underwent an operation upon his nasal bone in Kansas City, Mo., last week. He is getting along nicely. Clark & Williams, two prominent colored attorneys of Lawrence, are rapidly coming to the front as politicians. The Republicans of Douglass county can show their loyalty to the colored people by making one of them deputy county attorney. Galen Nichols, the popular county attorney will thribble the majority he had before. He is a clean cut young man and has filled the office creditably, and in the interest of the working people and tax-payers. The cranks who kick and pay nothing into the county will have the support of only those in their class. The next sheriff is solid with the people and he will be elected in November by an overwhelming majority. Ex-jail bird, A. L. Thomas, of Paola, in control of the judicial convention in that place last week, denounced honest Tom Kelley while he is in Kansas City laying flat of his back as the result of an operation, yet this crowd led by this jail bird took advantage of Mr. Kelley's condition and proceeded to denounce him. Let men of honor and justice take hold of the matter in this county and say to the people of Kansas that they do not uphold such cowardly methods. There is no question that the Republican candidates will receive good round majorities. Let us be Republicans, not kickers. We are not for hypocrites, but for straight out and out decency.

Now that the seventh annual session of the Western Negro Press association was a success, and did much toward advancing Negro journalism, we have been requested by the editor of this paper to contribute a few lines each week in the way of a criticism on mechanical make-up, advertising, etc., he stating that it would do much to improve the appearance of the papers in the association. Under these circumstances we consented to do so for if there is anything we can do to assist in the improvement of some of these "blacksmith shops" we will gladly do it. Not being an "editor" or "literary" man, our rhetoric, etc., may be a "leedle" off, but thirteen years experience as a practical printer—ten of which has been spent in the best white job and newspaper shops in Southern Kansas, places us in a position to know of what we speak. It shall be our aim to criticise the mechanical appearance of the papers in the association from a fair and impartial standpoint, thereby giving an idea of what is needed to improve them. We do not desire to offend any of the gentlemen conducting papers, as they are our friends, but in our statement of facts if someone should get offended, they will have to take their medicine as directed. ADVERTISING. That Negro newspapers fail to receive their share of the cash that is spent daily in booming the wares of the men who receive the "long end" of the Negro's spending change, may be seen by the "lean" appearance of their ad. columns, and what is the cause? The average Negro newspaper man spends too much time on "editorials" and places no significance at all upon the condition of his local page, and again, he has a strong desire to have a paper of more than ordinary prominence, and spends time and money working circulation in other cities while his paper is not read by one-half of his home people. A circulation of 2,000 in the city where a paper is published is far better than 5,000 outside. The men who spend their dollars for printer's ink make a study of how and when to invest, and from what source they can reap the best returns. The advertiser does not care whether his ad. is planted in a Negro or white newspaper so long as it brings the proper returns, and to obtain his patronage, he must first be educated to the fact that you have the goods he desires. This cannot be done by writing long-winded "editorials" about some Negro being refused an accommodation at some hotel or barber shop, but by your convincing him that he will receive proper returns for the money invested. The merchant is as careful in the selection of a medium through which to advertise his wares as he is in the purchase of them and the appearance of the local columns has much bearing upon the consideration your paper will receive. If your local columns are filled with spicy happenings among the home people, the advertiser will readily be convinced that the paper is published in the interest of home people and is read by them, but a paper with two columns of home news and ten The newspapers conducted by the whites have succeeded in convincing and educating the merchants to the fact that the life of their business lies in the liberal purchase of printer's ink. This has been brought about by making papers that stand for home first, and a constant hammer and pound on the fact that the merchant who fails to advertise is the one whose goods remain on the shelves. We will talk more about this matter in our next issue. Time and space prevents us from criticising the mechanical appearance of any papers, but next week, we will start with the two Kansas City, Kas., papers, the Kansas Record and the American Citizen. IRA SMITH. W. N. P. A. ECHOES. No association, convention or meeting of colored people has ever received a more cordial, courteous friendly and welcome greeting at the hands of the white press anywhere than was that extended to the Western Negro Press Association this week by the white press of Topeka. Every paper in the city treated the members of the Association with the kindest and most friendly greeting. Every press made them feel at home. But especially was this true of that venerable and veteran newspaper writer and defender of the Negro race, Major J. K. Hudson, editor of the Topeka Herald, and Hon. T. A. McNeal, editor of the Mail & Breeze. These deserve special mention for the fraternal welcome extended before the meeting and through their papers. Their hospitality will be long remembered by every member of the Western Negro Press Association, and they will always have a warm place in the hearts of all.—The Wichita Searchlight. The seventh annual session of the Western Negro Press association was closed in Topeka, Kansas, last Wednesday, and according to the press dispatches it was the most interesting and most successful of any meeting yet held by that organization. The Negro newspapers of this association have done a wonderful work and it is very gratifying to know that the good that has been accomplished is realized by the observing citizens. At this meeting of the association a news bureau and advertising agency was organized. This is one of the many important acts of the convention that will help to elevate the race to a higher standard. The discussion of various subjects and the reading of papers by talented men and women was the feature of each day's session. In the literary arena there is no greater power exemplified by man than the power of the press. It reveals almost any information desired and puts one in touch with the civilized world with its never ending pages of history. The convention will meet next July, in Wichita, Kansas — Colorado Statesman.

Springs Enterprise. The Liberator was most favorably impressed with the members of the Western Negro Press Association. It is to be regretted that any reputable Negro paper should fail to see the advantage of having membership in the association for mutual help and protection. We are living in an age of trusts, combines and unions, which is not necessarily a bad thing when legitimately conducted along honest business lines. If the ministers, lawyers, doctors and the merchants receive benefit by association for mutual advancement, why should editors not profit by similar organization? We are brought into closer touch as newspaper men, and we can exchange views upon matters of vital interest to the craft, and thus help each other in many ways.—The Liberator, K. C. The Negro editors are to be congratulated on the good, sound common sense and wisdom which marked the address issued by the Western Press association last week. It is evidence of the splendid progress being made by the race in its struggle for better conditions. The Negro is contributing his full share of effort to the solution of the race problem The Herald. The Seventh Annual Session of the Western Negro Press Association held at Topeka last week, was a merked success from every point of view.

Concluded from Page 1. church buildings, thereby burdening the masses with the payment of obligations far beyond their means. It is our honest belief that the work of the church and the press for the coming year should be to develop in our people a distaste for display in all things. To labor to develop in them a strong desire to live within their means, and lay aside something for the rainy day. Let all strive earnestly to build up sentiment against the cake walk, and those things which appeal only to a brutal passion. Our people are growing, and the labor of those who dedicate the working days of their lives to the up-building of the race should be along lines of morality, thrift and frugality. In politics we are convinced that the best interest of our people will be conserved by careful attention to the details of all questions as they affect the commercial and industrial interests of the communities in which we live. We shall labor to honestly educate our people into a perfect understanding of the salient principles of all political parties, with a view of making them intelligent and conscientious voters and citizens. We believe the highest type of citizenship is seen in the intelligent, patriotic citizen who labors "with malice towards none" and for the betterment of all. Undoubtedly the gravest question before our people is the proper care and training the boys and girls of our race. We appeal to the best elements of our people especially, and to all people in general, to aid us in this work. Proper and remunerative employment must be provided for them. The white people surround their boys and girls with a wholesome moral atmosphere, as seen in the numerous Young Men's Christian Associations and other institutions calculated to create high ideals of manhood and womanhood. In the business world they are providing employment for their boys and girls. We must do likewise. We must labor to build up and develop Negro business enterprises to the end that employment congenial with education will be open for them. We further urge upon our people the great importance of the home and its proper culture and development. We need homes where parents high-minded and cultured will labor to develop manhood and womanhood. Let all labor to that end. Committee on Address:—J. Hume Childers, Editor PLAINDEALER; Jno. H. Jackson, Editor Western Enterprise; W. W. Taylor, Editor Utah Plaindealer; G. N. Perkins, Editor Oklahoma Guide; S. R. Pinkney, Editor The Liberator, Kansas City. PATRIARCHS OF THE FAITH.—The association has decided to build a home for the Aged, Infirm and Orphans. This was decided upon at Leavenworth, last year. Five thousand dollars will procure an excellenthome. We are called upon to send fifty cents per member for the purpose, and if the 5,000 members of our fifty churches were to give the prescribed pro rata, $2,500 would be realized. But let us allow a liberal discount for the children and the disabled members of our churches, by cutting the aggregate in two. We would still have 2,500 members who could contribute 50 cents each, thus realizing $1,250 from the members and children of our churches in this district. A committee was appointed—Rev J. H. Vanleu, Mrs. M. D. Jones and Hon. H. I. Munroe—to look out site, etc., and report at this session of the association. They have done their work and call upon us to pass upon it. Let us, brethren, come to Topeka and make the Home a reality. Let us provide a Home for our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, who for any reason are unfortunate in this life. Let us purchase a $5,000 Home which will be the pride of the denomination and an honor to the race. According to an action of the executive board which met at Osage City, Kaz., Nov. 17, 1901, it was decided to ask each church 50 cents a member for the Home, this year Brethren, let us be true to ourselves, to our God, to our neighbors. Don't ask curious questions but go to work. Religion that doesn't go pocket-deep cannot go heaven-high, Pray, plan and work. Let u-collect $1,000 for the Home this year. W. L. Grant H. F. Frazier. J.
