Frauds, Hypocrites and Concerns Doing Business on Their"Nerve"Will Be Shown no Mercy in These Columns! Fourteenth Year. No. 35. THE MANAGER'S NOTE BOOK! Rambling Over the State in Search of a Cool Spot, Mr. Griffin Taiks With a Few Politicians and Business Men. A. C. SECK WILL BE SHERIFF. Prominent Reno County Man is Highly Endorsed by the Voters. Among the thrifty and enterprising men of the middle west who have assisted in building up the country and made a success by doing things worth while, the name of K. C. Beck, of Hutchinson, stands second to no citizen in these parts. Mr. Beck was born in Reno county, near Nickerson and principal heritage was a good physical constitution, a genial disposition, and a system "chuck full" of honesty and integrity; and with those essential qualifications he has gone forth into the world and achieved an enviable success. He is now filling the office of sheriff of Reno county and his record as such is unsurpassed by any of his predecessors. He is an honest, conscientious officer with close application to business and no man in the county can boast of a larger circle of friends than Sheriff Beck. He is the broadest type of American citizenship and all good citizens look alike to him, and yet he is a terror to the evil doers. He is a Democrat, but his popularity is not confined to any party, the rank and file of all parties agree upon the fact that he has made an ideal sheriff and that the public's appreciation of this splendid record as sheriff will be fully manifested on November next by re-electing him to the high office, the affairs of which he has so successfully handled for the past two years. He is a potent factor in both county and state politics. Sheriff Beck is president of Riverside Amusement park, the only resort of its kind in Kansas that knows no man by the color of his skin. It is one of the finest resorts in the country, and when a person enters the grounds, be they black or white they are treated with the utmost respect and courtesy. Mr. Beck measures mankind by moral worth and true character which is evedenced daily at the beautiful park of which he is the official head. He is best known as "Coon" Beck, which prefix was attached to his name because of his fairness to his darker skinned brothers. He is a staunch friend of the colored race and they are standing by him in the race for sheriff. A vote for Sheriff Beck is a vote for the right man in the right place. Hon. H. M. Payne, county clerk of Reno county, is a candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket. He has made good in the office which is a sufficient recommendation for a second term. He is a young man just in the prime of life—honest, capable and reliable, and has given the taxpayers the best there is in him, and will continue to do so if elected for a second term. Mr Payne is always on the job and has given a dollar's worth of services for every dollar in salary received by him. He is a native of Reno county - a consistent Republican, and led the ticket at the primaries in August and will do the same thing at the election in November. Hon Emerson Carey, Republican candidate for state senator, is one of the mostly widely known men in Reno county. He has resided in Hutchinson for years and is head of the great salt works at that place. Mr. Carey was in the upper house of the legislature two years ago served with honor and distinction, and not only do the people of his home county want to see him in the legislature again, but the good thoughtful people throughout the state are anxious to see his face again in the law-making body of Kansas. The Iola Portland Cement Co., cuts a wide swath in the growth and prosperity of Iola and the whole state of Kansas and are increasing their output daily. They spend thousands of dollars annually in the state and are increasing their out-put daily. It is a pleasure to do business with the lola Portland Cement company as the head of every department is thoroughly schooled in the world of business, and they are also obliging, polite and courteous to all men; rich, poor, white or black. NEWTON—Harvey County. Hon. J. F. Winger, registrar of deeds is a courteous, polite gentleman and ever ready to serve you at any time. He has made a splendid official which has won him the confidence and respect of all the people. Hon. E. Dunkelberger, the present efficient clerk of the district court, is the Republican candidate for reelection. His services in the office have been unsurpassed and the people are going to elect him by a good safe majority. Mr. Dunkelberger is a thrifty, enterprising citizen and a faithful party worker and richly deserves the honor he seeks. --- Charles J. Brunner is a candidate for more business at his well stocked grocery store and meat market, 118 West Sixth Street. His place is modern in every respect, and those who patronize him get the best for the lowest price. GREAT BEND. Charles L. Carroll, Democratic candidate for county attorney, is a jolly, good fellow and a splendid lawyer. He has hosts of friends among men of all political complexions.

Hainer, the popular druggist is still holding his own at 693 Commercial street. He has a handsome, well stocked store, and the courteous manner in which he treats customers, leaves them with a hanning to call again. The Morris Drug company is one of the prides of Emporia and would do credit to a city three times as large. This handsome store is located at 432 Commercial street. Messrs E. W. Morris and Warren Morris, the genial proprietors are gentlemen of the highest class and potent factors in the growth and business activity of Emporia. MARTIN-LOVE. Aged and Wealthy Great Bend Couple Happily Wed After Eighteen Years Courtship. With proud heads erect and stepping with all the grace and dignity of youthful days, Mr. William Love led Mrs. Ruth Martin to the alter on the 10th inst., and they were united in the holy boards of wedlock.

"Still Running at Large" and Will Never Give up Fight for Right---Up to the Supreme Court to Decide. The second division of the Wyandotte County district court, Kansas City, Kan, handed ye editor six months in the county jail because a jury of twelve misguided souls said we had no right to inform the public of evil doers and mismanaged concerns of the country. by keeping all of the important matter from the jury. We thought the act of a corporation stood as long as it was in existence—no matter who the officials might be. Groves was a charter member and Jim Guy was the attorney from its burning, and also when the first suit was filed. Then Sometime ago we published an account of the bad management of the Knights and Ladies of Protection, a concern with headquarters in Topeka. The order was organized about eight years ago, during which time they have changed their official family several times. The officers of the company borrowed money from different sources and individuals to "ease" them along, besides scaling down the claims of various beneficiaries of death claims. Suits were filed against the concern and several were threatened. Among the loans secured by them and never paid was $50.00 from Dennis D. Hope; $125.00 from Dr. O, A. Taylor and a claim due Miss Effie Dyser Porter on the death of her father, which has only been paid in part. When the editor of this paper was a member of the company, he went on a note for $200.00 (two hundred dollars), and was sued along with J. G. Groves, Jas. M. Mason, deceased, Col. James Beck, deceased; Jasper H. Childers, deceased, and Dr. O. A. Taylor. A judgment was rendered against all of the above named gentlemen, and after much red tape and rag chewing, ye scribe had to dig down into his pocket and pay it. Sometime after, J. G. Gioves, one of the organizers and Jim Guy got control of the company and repudiated all debts for the reason that the law does not allow a fraternal order to borrow money. We brought suit for our money, and at the first trial of the case secured judgment, but they were granted a new trial, at which time they discovered the law, which protected them in dodging their honest debts. We also made public some of the numerous complaints called to our attention, about one Elisha Scott, one of their agents, charging him with misleading the people and getting them money under false promises and failure to carry out contracts. For this and all other charges above mentioned, we deceived it high time for the public to be informed—especially the colored people whose hard earned dollars they were securing and giving no goods in return. Then Guy, Groves and Mason went to Wyndotte county, the home of Groves, and had us arrested for malicious label in division 1, Justice Smith's court. The trial resulted in a hung jury seven to five in our favor. The account of the trial was reviewed in these columns, for which they obtained a second warrant in division 2, Justice Hutchin's court, who ruled that we could only go back two years, there- cense in Barton county, and their wedding is the happy culmination of a courtship extending over 18 years. Together with their many friends. The Plaindealer joins in wishing them peace and happiness all along life's journey. KANSAS CITY, KAN One of the special events of the week was the marriage of Miss Grace Pullam to Mr. George Chester, Thursday night at the First Baptist church. Rev. Bowren officiating. A very large number of their friends witnessed the ceremony—and a large number attended the reception The color scheme was blue and the presents were numerous and costly. The Chautauqua at the Metropolitan church at this writing has become very interesting. Sunday, August 25th the sacred Oratorio and Cantatrice with Rev. E. A. Wilson and Miss Marie Overstreet as the principal characters was a beautiful rendi- by keeping all of the important matter from the jury. We thought the acts of a corporation stood as long as it was in existence—no matter who the officials might be. Groves was a charter member and Jim Guy was the attorney from its burning, and also when the first suit was filed. Then came in Bell of Leavenworth, E. Arlington Wilson of Kansas City, Kas, C. G. Fishback and J. A. Hamlett of Topeka and C. A. Bowren of Kansas City, all of whom were well aware of these conditions when they came in. Why the court allowed these fellows to dodge behind the two year limit is a puzzle to us and all other fair minded men and women. They just stepped into the shoes of those that went out and therefore should be held responsible for what they found existing against the company. We told the public to beware of this grafting outfit, and that it was impossible for them to exist with a few hundred dollars in the treasury, and thousands of dollars of contingent liabilities, besides the old claims which are honestly due the people and have not been paid. For this the jury found us guilty and sentenced us to six months in jail. We appealed the case to the Supreme Court, where we believe we have sufficient errors to reverse the lower court. The constitution of the United States says that the press shall not be muzzled or prevented from printing that which is good for the public. We shall now, henceforth and forever, more stand on these rights if we are sent to a thousand jails. The following is a letter from a widow, which shows what they are doing. The letter reads: "Leavenworth, Kans., June 8, '12 "Mr. Nick Childs. "Dear Sir: This is certify that the K. and L. of P. has not paid me my sick benefit which they owe me a year or more ago. You remember one day when you were out collecting at my house the agent happened to do in and you heard him say that if h. and I of P. did not pay me that he would, and he has not. In Eudora there is a man named Solon Gate wood who had an operation performed and had three doctors and they also did not pay him; and there were lots of others who were members and were back with lagugete and also received bequests at all. "MRS M A PROWN "AND CONNECTICUT AVE" Write to Denissa D. Hope, or Dr. A Taylor of Topeka and numerous other members who will substantiate what we say. Now, does the public think we are going to back up because a guessing jury can't see right from wrong? We have told the truth and will stand by it, sink or swim, live or die. Amen! tion.

The next, question was what shall we do with the Negro* This question was an- awered by the opening of the school room te him. Now the question is, what has the Negro done for himself? ‘This question we come to answer by showing you some men and women of the race who have made good.” ‘The welcome address on behalf of the Chicago Business league by Hon. 5, Lang Wilhams followed.

Brockton is a shoe manu- facturing center, Got tired of rail- roading, and after many denials on account of race prejudice, got a job running a shoe machine polisher, and stuck to it, learned the work thoro- ughly and was promoted from $7 per to $10 and later to $16, late, $18 and the last to $25 per week. I invested spare earnings and sold bananas to fellow workmen every morning. That eared me a profit and fellowship. My wife helped me by working a: lady matron In the railway depot. Then I began dealing in real estate. Got a chance to sell a large apartment house and made my first commission, $100.00 qut my job and Iaunched inte business. Today I am the largest real estate dealer in Brockton, Mass. regardless of color.

Our Success Everywhere “S have been aurpetsed and seligh- ted to discover the progress made by colored business men and women in Chicago, As I drove down State atreet the other day, for a mile and w half I am sure that two-thirds of the places of business I saw were con- ducted by colored men and women. We of this organization hold within our hands the future of our children and our children’s children, and bf we fail to do our duty we shall rightly be blamed by all of them to follow, We, are to use all of our resources of earth to promote intelligence, happiness and justice, God rewards the map or race which can find and wee most of this wealth. All of our success in Chicago and elsewhere goes to show that our race is beginning to learn the great lesson that we are to grasp these great riches out of nature and use them for our own wealth and our own happiness. Our success in bus!- ness is all encouraging but because of these privileges rests a great re- sponsibility for law and order among our people.” Negro Youth Don't Talk Business, “As I have gone in and out of our places of business, it has been in- teresting to listen to the conversation of our young people. It has been about games of baseball, prize fights, balls and women, We cannot live on these things, they don’t bring dollars, they don’t bring culture and those things which make for success. I want to see our young people discuss thove things which are really uplift.

Drawn shades and the soft notes of a catchy two-step or the stirring strains of a "rag" intermingled with an occasional outburst of merry laughter, was a warning to the neighbors that a "slumber party" was on tap and that their peace and quietude was in jeopardy. It was a bevy of the joylest and best girls in all Kansas, who had gathered Saturday night of last week, at the home of Miss Amicholas Chiles, 914 Buchanan street, where they "slumbered," complimentary to Miss Anna Smith, of Witchita, Miss Chiles's guest. The floors of the spacious parlors were strewn with sofa pillows, rugs, etc., and about 9:30 eight girls, all of whom are really pretty, took charge of the place fo, the remainder of the evening. Clad in big sleeve kimonas and house slippers; some lounged on the rugs like tented squaws while others played, sang or danced. "Careful Kelley," "get over Sal" and "turkey trot" brought fourth peals of laughter that alarmed the neighbor, and when they were in the height of their enjoyment, a loud wrap at the door, and vigorous ringing of the bell caused a grand rush for the stairs and in three seconds not a girl was in sight, they were behind closed doors above. Several "wicked" boys had learned of the affair, and as this was the second successive "slumber," felt that they were being mistreated, and that something should be put on in which they too could participate. They were admitted to the house by Mrs. Chiles, where they proceeded to sing and play the piano, but to avail, not a girl came down. They proceeded to the dining room, unpacked a delicious luncheon they had brought with them, set the table and ate, but still no girls showed up. Seeing that they had been scouped, they folded their tents and like Arabs, quietly stole away. As the last foot fall was heard on the porch leading to the street, the girls appeared as if by magic, and continued the festivities until 1 a.m., when a delicious luncheon was served and devoured with great relish. No attempt was made at sleeping until 4:30 a.m., when they retired, but a fit of "story" telling had a hold on the bunch, and to dose off for a nap meant only to be awaken by, "Just one more girls, I must tell this story," so finally at 5:30, seeing it was useless to try to sleep, all arose and went to the Catholic church. From the church they went to the cozy home of Miss Pearl Rhodes, where a toothsome 11 o'clock breakfast was highly relished. They also visited No. 3, fire station, and many other places of interest during the day. The guests were Anna Smith, Captola Jones, Minnie Jones, Margaret Foster, Emma Ellene Cooper, Jesse Oden, Pearl Rhodes and Arnicholas Chiles. Miss Gustava Brewer, one of our efficient clerks is taking her vacation this week. Miss Myrtle Jones is assisting in her stead. Clarence Grimes, of Ellsworth, is spending the week with his big brother, "Billy." He visited here last year and made many warm friends, especially among the fair sex and his welcome in Topeka was very cordial. Friends of Mrs. Emma Moss McAdoo, formerly of Topeka, but now a resident of Los Angeles, reports that she was married shortly to a prominent man of that city. We have tried hard to learn the name of the fortunate groom, but so far have been unsuccessful. Mrs. McAdoo was prominent in Topeka society and has many warm friends who join The Plaindealer in casting the proverbal old show for good luck.

"I" will be at Wichita then to Guthrie, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City. She also expects to attend the National convention at Houston, Texas. Mrs. Willa Williams has returned from a six weeks visit at Miller Station, where she has been visiting at the Miller ranch. She reports a very pleasant time and says that everything is looking prosperous. Attorney M. A. G. Martin of Holton, was among the throng of politicians that attended the Republican party council here Tuesday. While in the city Mr Martin made The Plain-dealer a fraternal call. Mrs. Alice Hicks South entertained with a five course luncheon on last Thursday afternoon in honor of Miss Corne Brown, who will leave soon for Chicago and other northeastern points. She was assisted by her sister, Mrs. Fate Russell. 一 John Fairley, owner of the "Square Deal Print Shop," Kansas City, Mo. Sundayed with his printer friend Andy Wallace and ye scribe. The boys spent a delightful day talking "shop" and watching the curious crowds at the parks. Through information that was misleading The Plaindealer last week published an item as news that Mr. A. W. Harris had taken unto himself a life companion, and as the gentleman disowns any such state of affairs we announce the item erroneous. Mrs. John Taylor and Mrs. Hampton Martin of Kansas City, after spending a week with Miss Emma Matthews in Atchison, Kan., arrived in Topeka Tuesday to spend a week with their mother and mother-in-law. Mrs. Matilda Martin at 22nd and Adams. Miss Marie Bertha, who had been visiting her sister and friends for the past three weeks, left Wednesday for her home in Chicago. She reports that her brother, Ben Bertha, who is located in San Francisco is in very poor health, which is deeply regretted by a host of friends in Topeka. Our old friend and former townman, Frank Moss, of Winslow, Arizona, was married a short time ago. We were unable to learn the name of the bride, but however we wish them luck. Mr Moss is a gentleman of the highest class and a successful business man, having conducted a laundry in Winslow for several years. Lieutenant Thomas McAdoo, arrived Tuesday from his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, to spend a week with home folks. He is one of the best known young men Kansas ever produced, and a legend of friends always accord him a royal welcome to the state. Mr. McAdoo is engaged in business in Salt Lake and is doing well. Mrs. D. W. Harduman and her sister, Mrs. E. Robinson, left Topkala Wednesday morning, August 19, for Clarksville, Tennessee, where they will spend a month or more visiting their sister and also to attend the grand lodge of the Tabernacle Louisville, Ky., and also they will meet Emma Gaines, chief grand prescptress and will spend a few weeks with their uncle. STUBBS WILL WITHDRAW Under the above caption the Kansas City Journal makes a statement that is hard for the ordinary Kansan to believe, and in behalf of this statement it gives the following reasons for making the same: "Withdraw from what? Why, from the contest for the United States senatorship, of course. For what reason? Because his opponent, Senator Curtis, received a majority of the popular vote in the late Republican primary election. But Stubbs carried a majority of the legislative districts and consequently, under the Kansas law, is entitled to the nomination. That makes no difference—not with Stubbs. He believes with Roosevelt that the people should rule, and when the people have spoken the bows to their will. It is an injustice and an insult to the governor to assume that he would take advantage of a legal technicality to defeat the expressed will of the people. It is a gross aspersion of his sincerity. "The provision of the Kansas law that makes it necessary to carry a majority of the legislative district is said to have been forced into the measure by the starpatters of the legislature and adopted against the governor's wishes. So much the more reason why he shall not stoop to profit by it. He will sworn to do so. The people have said that they want Curts and the people's choice is the choice of every true Progressive from Russell down. Far be it from so earnest and honest a crusader as Gov. Stubbs to talk the expressed will of the people. "So Mr. Stubbs, in a clear, frank, virile statement enunciating these views will tell the Kansas voters that his high sense of honor and his self-respect require him to withdraw from the contest for the senatorship; that not to do so after fully committing himself to the high principle of rule by the people would be a greater stultification than hee could endure. "True, Mr Stubbs has not as yet announced his purpose to take this course, but no intelligent person can doubt that he will do so within a few days—unless it be some pessimist who believes the governor is without political scruples and that his strong advocacy of popular rule was mere hypocrisy and damagogy." But the Journal evidently does not know Walter Roscoe Stubbs, he who is governor of Kansas. He was born for a doctor, but missed his calling and landed in politics. He is a great believer in prescribing remedies for the other fellows, but when it comes to taking his own medicine he is just gone. Mr Stubbs has howled long and loud to let the people rule, but since a majority of the Kansas people have spoken their unsaproposal of him and of his methods of running things he is not for the idea only in theory. We admit that there is a possibility that we will be the wrong to Mr Stubbs, and that the Kansas City Journal one of the best papers in the Worcester be right, but we have to be shown it would be a great credit to Kansas, to know that the governor was treated as the garments of truth and righteousness instead of the rarities of loot and fraud. . . . ```markdown ``` their own things are to be used and to serve people and among this community, who have a power and a valuable part of the world and who, they have shown their power and their ability to this an important people in it within the world and nothing for the world's good than we ought to do. means of saving the profits that it might be for the good in the world.

And along this line we will say that there are more than one hundred men in Tupelo who have than one line, and any one of them to advantage. The main idea to the accomplishment of this aim will be a willingness on the part of the minister and nine to have faith in the other fellow to trust him in the handling of the funds. This idea will have to be installed into the hearts of the people of diligent persuasion and more than $100 laying idle that could when it is done we will on the high road to great achievements. Who will be the first to answer "Here am I?" --- Mr. Roosevelt classes Mr. Taft with the dead issues and places Flinn and Perkins in the front ranks of honest men, and that is because they are patterned after his idea of a real honest man—himself. Mr. Taft is so far above Mr. Roosevelt in honesty of principle and purpose that Teddy is unable to discern the difference between a man of such noble traits and the bragadocio scalawags immediately surrounding himself. The fact is, the beam in Roosevelt's eye is so befuddled in sin and iniquity that he can see nothing good in that which is pure and holy. He can see good in that which is evil, as like draws like, and that is what the "third term" party candidate is seeking. That the "Bull Moose" is not so honest as he would have some to believe lies in the fact that he dared not go before the Republican National convention and make any claims while Senator Ehhu Root sat as the presiding officer over its deliberations. Root is the one man in the United States of whom Theodore Roosevelt is afraid, and nobody knows it better than Teddy. The move by leading Republicans of Kansas to organize a simon pure Republican state wide league is a move in the right direction. The third term party has no rights in Kansas that the Republicans are bound to respect. The Republican party is one thing and the "Bull Moose" or third term party is another and he who is for one is certainly against the other, and naturally there is no line between the two. The demi-pop surgeants who are trying to deliver the Republican party of Kansas into the hands of the enemy are going to find themselves statesmen out of a job. --- The days are now warm and the heat is a little unpleasant to some, but the day is not far in the future when the cold winds will be upon us and a little of the sunshine we are now trying to dodge will be a welcome visitor in our midst; but that is not what we are to depend upon in the least, but we must lay up that which will provide for us the necessary artificial heat, besides warm clothing and something to keep the inner man in nourishment and we will not fear the bites of the northern blasts. Remember this when you are spending your money foolishly --- The spectacle of Republican senators assisting Democrats to pass Democratic measures over the veto of a Republican president is one that few people now living ever expected to see, and yet this is the condition now prevailing in the Congress of the United States. And Kansas is so unfortunate as to have a man in this great body of law makers, although wearing a Republican judge, whose name is generally first in the mud-of the Democrats assisting in this dastardly work, and his name is L. L. Brislow. --- In Virginia last Friday a 17 year old colored girl was electrocuted for the murder of an aged white woman. When counts can find nothing else to do but kill children by law it is in some straits for work. No doubt the old helion who was killed had an idea in her head that she owned that little colored girl and attempted to thrash the child and this and child knocked that elephant of her head and in doing so knocked her skull. Some people have yet to learn that the days of slavery are over . . The rule articulated by a Kansas City city only applies a parable to bad wages instead of implying a threat or making them to jail or the return school to move in the right direction and is calibrated to more good in the war of a nation good boys out of anyone than the old way. A good job of "urban oil" is much more of give than any time. And if par- ties would permit more to the use of the truth the judge would have lost. . . . some people who think they are smart enough that the Jews crucified the thief, out it was the office holder who desired to perpetuate themselves in office who did the act. We have some of the same gang in Kansas politics who would crucify the Republican party in order to keep in a good fat job. --- You may build air castles in your balmy days, but when you grow old you will have a hard time trying to find your room in these castles. You had better build a mud house first, then try for something better. "The rain falls upon the just and the unjust" is the teaching of the Bible, but some people seem to think that they are only pebbles on the beach when the rain comes at the wrong time. * * * When you pray in church don't do it for the sounding of the words, but let it be the pure promptings of the heart, and the Lord will likely hear and answer your prayer in the spirit it is asked. ```markdown ``` When wheat was fifty cents per bushel the farmers prayed for the sixty-cent mark, but now that that figure has been more than doubled they are seeking a change. They can get it. ★ ★ ★ When times are good there are lots of people who seek for a change and they generally succeed in finding it, but to their sorrow. If a man is really honest he will concede to others what he wants conceded to himself; otherwise he is a thief and a robber. Live right and you'll die right, and the people left behind will have some excuse to speak a good word of you. If a man shouts for honesty and deals out dishonesty he may expect some old thing from the other fellow. THE NEWS AT LINCOLN NEB.

HALSTEAD and WICHITA Courteous treatment to all Rich in Poultry and Eggs. "There are 150 million dollars worth of farmers' eggs and poultry used in this country. Are we producing our share? Are we trading in our share of that wealth? If not, through the medium of this Business league we have purposed that we no longer be children, but be men and step out in the progress of these affairs, and point the way to manhood rights and political independence and no party can take them from us when through this development." Thus the message continued all the way through. He admonished them along all lines of trade and industry, ever reminding them to keep to the right, and the solution of the problem was at hand. It was a masterful address and will bear fruit and do good as long as the world keeps it onward treasured on the ladder of progress and faith. Nation Wide Progress Each day's session presented a corps of men and women who told an impressive story of struggles and hardships to succeed in the rapidly moving world of business. Every trade, profession and industry was represented. They told in their own simple language how they had surmounted the ladder of success and in doing pointed the way to the younger men and women who are emerging into the field of labor and industry. These men and women represented millions of dollars, and a great many of them were inspired through the Business league to make the fight for higher things. It taught them that the door of hope ever stands open to he who cares to enter, and that one can't gain admission save through character, thrift, energy and enterprise. It takes that go-ahead determination and will power to succeed, and today they stand as a great light house on the shores beckoning younger men and women to "come this way." Side Lights on the Convention. About 1,500 delegates attended the sessions. The majority of the delegates were enthusiastic young men and women, chuck full of push, business and ginger, who had come together in a "talk fest" for serious and effective advancement work along mercantile lines of the race. The delegates were all well dressed and educated—the pride of their various communities, aggressive in friendly spirit and fellowship. Their life stories tell invariably of hard and persistent struggling in spite of difficulties and set backs, and wrestling of victory from its hiding place by means of using the humble and very common opportunities at their finger's end—making something out of almost nothing. Color counts for nothing, it is quality, merit and energy. God in the heart, red blood in the veins, rose in the backbone, humble, the spirit and "ginger" in the a-hoo that makes them winners. A. O.
