No.46 GLEANINGS BY A BRIGNT SCRIBE! --- and were only too glad when a chance to better their condition presented itself. Railroads Took Many Laborers. The Birmingham mining district was able to take care of the black workers. Negroes power the black voters on cotton fields. Just about this time the Pennsylvania and Erie railroads who had legitimately started recruiting laborers a short time before in Georgia and Florida were urged to stop doing so. The labor agents went over to Alabama and did a thriving business at the right time. The managers of the result that more than 400,000 Negroes migrated to the North, East and West from the state. Almost every county hops Negroes to the coal fields of West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and industrial centers of New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Michigan. The business men of Birmingham did not realize that the state was losing its black workers. Between the end of September, between ten and twelve thousand Negroes left Birmingham. It is said that the Negroes are still losing Alabama daily by the hundreds, although steps are being taken to prevent the labor agents from inducing them to leave. There have been several reasons given for the departure of the Negroes. The most important are: Either wages in the North, East and West. Their desire to escape the humiliation they are subject to. An opportunity to take an active part in the political and social activity of the country The advantage of having their children properly educated In the North they found work ready for them. Most of this work was primarily done by foreigners, many of whom returned in their home countries to enter the war Some of the poorer white people of the North are rather enthusiastic over the departure of the Negroes, believing they must have an opportunity for them to get more work and better wages than they got when they were in competition with the Negroes. Gris Gris Manu of Them Larly in the summer the Southern Negroes began to make their presence felt in the Negro settlements of London and other localities of New York. This increase of population has caused the real estate men of these districts who make the greater part of their capital by renting their houses to the Negroes to become more independent the demand houses have been an important part in the development which have been formerly rented to white people have been turned over to the Negroes. The real little man found out that it pays to rent to Negroes, because they can increase rent from $2 to $12 on each apartment. The higher class of Negroes is willing to pay this increase in a new locality so as to get more respectable surroundings. This has been a great year for the real estate man in the Negro district. This year he moved and apartments he then own have Rents Hare Time High. In apartment house of these localities a that house already been occupied by Negroes the rentes have been increased from $2 to $4 a month, and there are few vacancies. The Negroes begin to pour into New Jersey in such great numbers that at first it was thought they were being beautiful there for election purposes, different political parties were meeting to lobby them to them from online if that was the purpose of their coming there let no cases of this sort poke up as far as is known. It soon became evident that the Negroes were in need to come to New Jersey to work on the railroads. This kind of labor was greatly in demand, owing to the great increase in tonnage. Many of these Negroes who left the South have either sent work or returned to the North. This would add to that they instead to abandon their Southern homes to make their future homes in the North. Mrs. Cone in Alexander left last week for Topkai, Kan Mrs. Rose Reeves is much improved at this writing Mrs. Mary Hansom has been on the desk list.

The great movement of Negroes to the North and their employment by Northern employers will serve as never before to acquaint the Northern capitals of industry with the superior value of the colored laborer and, like the Southern tankmasters, they will soon realize that there are no workers anywhere in the world whose services are so satisfactory to the colored man. We read column after column in anastagian papers of his gross ignorance and stupidity, but the picture is colored by a blind prejudice against him and by cowardly fear of him. The manufacturer realizes almost instantaneously that he can save thousands of louras and hundreds of dollars in wages to train his workers to the colored man can speak the language. Another thing that the capital realizes is that the black man down put her hostility to capital. He is less likely to form unions and solidum if ever strikes. If given a reasonably fair chance he goes contentedly about his work and with his natural gift of song and his giftiness a supplication to his work, are acquiring more in the same time and doing heavier and more drudging tasks than even the much vaunted foreigner Another important fact that is being generally overlooked is that the colored people are not sending their earnings to some foreign country. They have no double allegiance and as a class are the most truly American that they have within its borders. All their earnings are within its borders. In the states, all those institutions are in the American work and all their savings in American institutions and American soil. We believe that there is no excuse for a alarm among ourselves. Those of us in the North will not be injured by the coming of others from the South. Those who come are of the type that makes for better citizenship and need our protection and those who are in propensity will profit because of the newly created security of labor. The promise of all will be permanent, and specially true is this of those who remain in the South, because it will be many many years before immigration into the North will assume even a multilevel proportion because of a multilevel everywhere from the North and have lodged it not only by its opportunity but by its pictures formed in their minds in the constant reports of lynchings, teachings, lyndhings. That the imitation of Southern North goes into the manufacturing district of North. North is assuming serious and frequent proportions is evidenced by the many new items and edifice upon the movement. Many of the new items are communicating briefly purposes of the main communicating free country and are discussing it in our war and earnest war. In looking more our changes we find that nearly every paper published in the Eastern, Middle West and Southern sections is denoting columns after column to this subject. According to authentic reports, over 10,000 abbreviated indexes have been published in this report in all more than 125,000 have appeared from the North. It is remarkable significant that the greatest majority of this vast hardie is made up of the better class of Southern laborers, men who have received some education amount at least to open their eyes and give them a hunger for greater and better opportunities and the learning and a longing for the privilege of living more peacefully and unimpeded by a more positive life. We have been told that the rural districts, the mammoth plantations, and farms, are the places from which the laborers are being taken. Not directly, however, in this fashion, those and upon thousands are leaving the cities and coursing north. Their leaving is correspondingly opening up the places in those cities and the colored people on the lands and plantations are adopting them for the more reservation work in the cities. It is very noticeable, too, that the rift, affinity, almost closeness is contributing only slightly to this wholesale movement. This argues well for the permanency of it. Once in the North and even a fair chance earns a livelihood, to enjoy rich and privileged life and to be able to protect family and family without having to pay his life for that protection, to be able to educate his children as does the other race, to receive better and more constant wages, there is no great likelihood of a wholesale return to the Southland on the part of the recurrent Norther farmer, he is receiving his encouragement in remain. His brother in the North wants him. His employer wants him. Everything seemingly tells him to remain, for he is improving not only his own condition but that of his Northern brother and the brother he left behind as well. Added numbers will give the Northern Negro greater interest in enabling him to live in the number of people he and to more highly develop them and will aid in furthering his economic independence. The Northern colored people will also profit because this exosite is proring in the white simulation owner as nothing has ever before proven the value and the indispensability of the Black farm hand. The results of the experiment of the line of the "guest" that says the golden eye" is gradually through slowly we reverently admit, opening his eyes to the fact that after all the black man is not attached to his land at present he (the white) is working to prevent employment agents from working among the Southern people to force and all the other unfarelly means that he can command. But he is not checking the movement, and will not until he changes his tactics. Now, the only way to check this unprotected description of the South and is for them to give the black person a real opportunity to be the man he wants to be, and an unprotected privilege to enjoy and exercise the rights and duties of citizenship. We know it will well meet the hearts of the Northern demagogues in alternative to the breaking of the workplace, and we will so that when the crisis drives him to the ropes he will sacrifice his prejudice of heart rather than his fitness of purity and that for once the love of money will not cause a cost of evil but a boon and a blessing to time and immensely more than has been their due. New York. Nov 21 direct interest has recently been centered on the large number of Negroes who have left the North for the North. East and West within the last three or four months, and in some places stems have been taken to prevent their leaving. In some cases to the South. It is stated, there will be no crops for the Negro laborers to soap until next spring, owing to the fact that they have been destroyed by the boil worm. The Negroes were actually facing starvation in these parts. Still Lease by Hundreds CHICKARUA, OKLA OI 4THF, A4N. (177).

THE TENNESSEE NEGROS ARE WAKEING UP And Pralizing They Are Citizens Robt R Church in Educating Them Along Political and Business lines. Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 10—The one great victors won by the American Negro in Tuesday's election came in Memphis and West Tennessee. The Lincoln Republican League, H R church, I r, founder and president, affiliated the 11th white Republicans in an open contest at the ballot box. And more, the Lincoln League shattered the local option combination, composed of white Republicans, Democrats and Know Nothings. But most important, Lincoln League, now 5000 strong and still growing, has gathered colored men into the most unique and largest organization among colored people in the country. As leader, Mr Church can boost a following larger, more diverse group than ever tried to behind a colored leader. Little night the league not to consider the situation More men were present maybe 1,000 of them than got together the bridal night before election. Beginning here, the capital of the Negro race, the battle is on to break the political shackles of the Southern Negro. Candidates Run Down the Line From Wayman Wilkerson, candidate for congress, straight down the line he ran for the U.S. House, while stronger than the so-called Republican organization. With no protection at the polls, and local combinations against them, together with the natural bounty of Democrats to browbeat colored men, the candidates came through with an approximate vote of 2700 as counted by the election judges. Thomas H. Hayes, popular business man, on a fair count, would be floral emulator from Rachel and Tipton counties. He ran his Democratic adversary smack up to the state house steps. The campaign launched by Mr. Church and his supporters grew in interest. From the middle of August till election eve, when Florence Nimmons rose to close the campaign before 7,000 people, interest in the contest was without parallel in the South. And the women were more set and determined than the men. VAN BUREN, ARK. COLVIL GROVE, A11. YALE. KANNAE. The Lincoln League is organizing for local contests next year, and for the congressional race in 1918. Candidates will be put up for every office, county and congressional, and since the great vote piled up by the organization establishes it as the regular Republican party organization in this section of the state, the party will always be represented on the official ballot.

F. Allen of Lincoln institute delivered a masterful address before a large and appreciative audience at the Missouri State Teachers' Association, which met in the auditorium of the Summer High School November 16th. His subject was "The Future of Our Race." Among many things he said are the following: Happily the American Negro has already freed himself in a large measure from the degrading beliefs which frequently claimed his credence in the days of slavery. But he must go further than this—he must not only have the keenness to detect untruth, but he must have the faculty of perceiving truth and the courage to look it in the face. We must also put away our dependence upon others. We must come to depend upon ourselves. We must win our own way, taking advantage of our opportunities. We must hasten the day when people will no longer say of the successful one, "He has done remarkably well, for a Negro," and will contend themselves with saying, "He has done remarkably well." Why should not a Negro do well? "But," some of you will say, "there is a prejudice against the members of our race." And if this be true, what of RI? There has been a long standing prejudice against the members of the Jewish race, yet see what that race has accomplished. Stoned out of Russia, they have fled to Western Europe and become the bankers of the world. In New York today the heads of many of the most influential banking houses are Jews. Nor is it only in financial circles that the Jews have given to leadership. Sir Rufus Isaacs, Lord Chief Justice of England, is a Jew. In literature we have Israel Zangwil, or, to come nearer home, James Oppenheim, the poet and story writer. Hammerstein, whose name is synonymous with grand opera in America, is a Jew in painting, in sculpture, in all of the fine arts, we find the names of members of the Jewish race. The great Iceline, the Immortal Rubenstein, were Jews. And the progress of this race is all the more remarkable when we reflect that it has not, in all these hundreds of years, been a nation in the ordinary sense of the word. There is no Jewish flag, no Jewish capital. There are no Jewish colonies but there are in all the cities of the earth innumerable Jewish settlements. Mingling with other races, scattered to the far corners of the earth, the Jews have carried their nationality with them in their religion and in their race purity. For though the Jews have intermarried with people of other races, they have never been absorbed. Rather they have gathered into the Jewish fold all who became connected with them by blood. Nor have they countenanced, among the orthodox, the introduction of alien blood into Jewish vina. There are two great reasons for the progress of the Jews. One is their devotion to their idols, and the other is the development of their race genius. Every race has a particular genius. The Germans hate a genius for organization, the English for colonisation, the Japanese for making minute objects of art, the Nazis for hotel keeping. The genius of the Jew is for finance. Upon their development of this genius rests their success. The Negro race has not developed, nor even discovered, its race genius. It may be that in this very day and generation we will learn what it is that the Negro can do better than any other man can do. We must learn to give others the same consideration we ask for ourselves. We must not be discouraged if it seems as it sometimes does, that our efforts are not appreciated and that we do not receive credit for the things we have accomplished. There are still some people, not many, but a few, who feel, that it is presumptuous in the American Negro to seek to take his place in the learned professions as an educated man. We must not permit ourselves to be unlucky annoyed by this attitude. It is a prejudice which is rapidly dying out. We can not, of course, expect that the Negro doctor shall build up a large and lucrative practice among white patients, and there is no reason why he should do so. Like the Negro prescriber of the gospel, he will find plenty of work to occupy him among his own people. We are an increasing, not a vanishing race. In the years to come the increase of population among us will automatically widen the field of our labors and will provide for each of our professional workers a steady client. The success of those who have turned to education as a war out of poverty poverty which arrose immediately after the abolition of slavery - has been such that those who have healthful to embrace the opportunity for education need hesitate no longer. There have been many who have foolishly recorded education as something of an affectation and who have fancied that they could get on in the world without it. How audibly they have learned their error? How keenly have they been disappointed? Mr Arche Huddleston, chorus master with 'Dawn in Dixie', a company composed of twenties whites and ten blacks, now playing in Kansas City, spent Wednesday in the city the guest of his parents, Mr and Mrs. James Huddleston. Mr Huddleston has traveled the past five seasons or more with some of the best white companies on the road and is considered to be one of the best men of his race in the theatrical profession. His friends were glad to see him and wish him continued success. He was a please ant caller at this office.
