Fully eight-thousand Negroes from allover the United States were in attendance upon the opening session among them being representative men aod women, the leaders of the race in matters of religion and edu- cation. 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 cho- rus of 200 voices under the uirection, of William Roseborough of Nash- ville, Tenn. and which was joined in by the entire audience. The ex- cellent singing was one of the feat- ures of the opening session as it will be during the entire congress. After singing and prayer by C.O. Booth, W. B, Matthews of the exec- utive 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 expres- sion 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 gener- ous enough not to discount those of us who are honestly trying to make ood citizens.” It wa: received with enthusiastic applause GOVERNOR CANDLER SPEAKS. After the conclusion of his address Bishop Gaines introduced Governot Candler, who, in a strong and char. acteristic speech, welcomed the congress to the state and to the city that had, he said, been built oy by ths brain and brawn of southerz white and black men. The governor said that a gather ing like this of representative Negroe! was the beginning of an era in th history of the Negro race and mean much for the Negroes’ progress ‘The strict attention paid him anc the number of interruptions to ap plaud showed how the audienc: aceepted the remarks of the govern or.

(Applause) It appropriate that the first session « your Christian and education congress should be held in Georgi Georgia was the last to admit Afric: slavery within its borders and :od: we have more of the sons and daug ters of Africa in our state than at other state inthe world. It is f ting that you should hold yo meeting in Atlanta, because it is tl representative city of the south, ar contrary to the statements made t many, it is not built up by fore people and foreign capital but Duilt up by the brain and brawn Georgia white men and Negro ‘The object which has brought y here is indeed commendable— elevate the African race. ‘The people of the south, aided the people of the north, the peo] ofthe west and of evéry quarter this great republic, have helped t _ youths of the African race to educ: and just how well we have succe -ed, you know as well. asI do, s « Godknows-that we have done { Best we conld.,, We havé,tanght | and to give to you the broadest pos- Isible educatjowi; batthere, axo,other lessons than those taught in books that must be learned well—lessons that must be tanght around the fire- side, 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, sobri- ety 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 doa 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 thework, and can he do it well? ‘This is what your race must lear, 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. T am surrounded by men ot your race today on this platform whom Lhonor as highly as Ido the mayor of the city of Atlanta, who is also here, because they are honest men, ‘because they are reliabiemen. (Ap- plause) 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 to7you for your guid. ance the motto of this commonwealth “Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.” Let wisdom govern your delibera. tion, justice govern your action and moderation characterize your utter: ances. I will not detain you, in. voking the blessings of Providence and the guidance of God upon tne deliberations of this congress.” MAYOR MIM'S WELCOME Mayor Livingston Mims followec | the governor and weicomed the con |gres; to the “center of the south.’ |The mayor said hewas glad to wel Jcome the Negroes as “America | citizens.” ] When the mayor said, “Vou ari .Jhere in the south to stay and wi | would not be withour you and it .|fact I want all good Negroes t ,| stay in Georgia,” he was cheered t |] the echo, | ‘The mayor spoke as follows: “This is the largest audienze tha |Uhave had the pleasure to address ,|even when Iwas a candidate fo "| mayor I never addressed such larg ,| audiences, I am sorry that I at "| not governor for often on occasion ;|of this kind when we speak he usual .|ly speaks first and makes my speec ;|for me and leaves such a little f "| meto say and this time even you Bishopanticipated what I was goin to say and saida part of what I ha “| made up my mind to say to you.

I shall not take more of your time, I extend to youa cor- dial 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 appear- eq to give it color. BISHOP WALDEN TALKS. Bishop J. M. Walden, of Cincin- natti, Ohio, fraternal delegate to the ‘congress from the northern Metho- dist church, next addressed the con- gress. He spoke of the progress ot edu- cation in the south among the Ne- groes. 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 frieuds here were paying for the education of their children. “I cannot let the epportuaity pass to praise the Negro Young People’: congress for the excellent order that they maintained in the city during the deliberations of that body.

The Northwestern Baptist Associ- ation 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 delega- tion. The Sunday School convention opened Tuesday morning with Mis- sionary Vanlea as president. An impressive assemblage, composed of men and womee from various parts of the state was present. Touching addresses and beautiful essays were delivered, Wednesday, the woman’s mission- ary 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 bar- ren 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 tothe success of not only this but other conventions are: Mrs, F.B. Grant, Frances Landers, Em. ma Gaines, Anna Madison, Julia Robinson arid Ollie Henderson. ‘THE ASSOCIATION PROPER, ‘Thursday morning, when the Rev. W. L.

It ‘was a masterly address, well receiv- ed. 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 show- ed 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 educa tion of the masses; the state indust. rial school should be separated from sectarian influences; the establish ment ofa Home for the Aged, Infirm and Orphans; the imperative nee: of ministers taking the lead in inau || garating business enterprises: th | higher duties and achievements o | citizenship; a separation of the bet | ter class ef Negroes from the lowe "/classes; better salaries for pastors gjete.

It is useless {at this time to discuss the question whether his enfranchisement, at the | close of the war, was 2 wise political measure or not. | ‘The consensus of intelligent opin- jion now seen:s to be that in matters political the Negro has been a dis- |ppointment to his friends and has ||measured up to the full expectation | of bis enemies. | It is but just to say, however, that J if the Southern people had welcomed [him as a political ally and had re- Jcognized him as a factor in civil | afairs at the close of the war, and Jif the Negro had shown more of a ,|disposition to aecept and deal with |tocal and state conditions as they were rather than as they hoped ,]them to be, Negro citizenship today .|might have been better established ‘Jandmaintained by public opinion ,jthan we find it. | The trend of sentiment is against -|any national interference or settle- ,| ment of this question, and the idea ,| seems to be that the states as such, ‘Jhave alene the right to fix the status jof Americaii citizenship. The fede. ral government has the right to rem edy any demal or abridgement ol therightof suffrage by redacing the ratio of representation in Congres: ,| of any state in proportion to its vot ing rather than to its numerica strength. t] Confessedly it would be much bet ; | ter ultimately to have all the state: ,| treat its citizens justly and to mak no distinction based upon race o “|previous condition of servitude it -| the adjustment of a political questior ;,|so vital as that of citizenship. n| But past experience shows tha s|there isa tendency in some of th y| Southern states to deny the right 0 .-| suffrage to Negro illiterates, even i q|states where education is made s)test, and to confer the right of su! d| frage by indirect yet effective exp .:|dients to white illiterate voters. | This being true the onl} remed r|then left us by the Cobstitution ; q|that of reduced representation i .¢| Congress of States that enfranchis n{|illiterate whites and distranchise ¢ |literate blacks in plain violation < d the federal constitution, which sa) ip that, in no event, shall this be doa 1o| The Negro press of the counti js|¢an do a great deal of good in kee] 1) ]ing this matter of disfranchiseme t,|[Defore the nation, and especially : 14 in calling the attention of Congres er|menwho are to be elected this f te | t0 this provision of the Constitutic ne|2nd to point out its plain violatio a] We want no cheap citizenship .s-| Our republic; no servility, no se jg|dom should find any lodging pla of|Under the stars and stripes.

In short, America has the opportunity to test the highest phase of her Christian and civil institutions im 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 ¢e 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 Ne- gro citizenship if the press will urge the young Negroes of our country to become producers rather than con- sumers. and to endeavor to open up and improve every opportunity to make themselves felt in the commer- cial worla by engaging in business pursuits, accumulating homes and making themselves indispensible fac- torsim American life. Nor should we discourage the aspirations of those youths who desire higher edu- cation as a means of making them- selves preficient in the professions, and having a very important bearing upon citizenship. 7 | We mast also encourage Negro | leadership asa most potent means of Jelevating the masses and securing }] and maintaining their civil, political and personal rights in all sections of _|our great country.

During the pee {twenty years, through misguide Re a Ne a a a 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. This week a congress of Negro religions is being held at Atlanta and the Western Negro Press Association is in session at Topeka.

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.
