The Topeka Plaindealer National Negro Business League Session a Success Harmony and Co-operation Characterizes the Entire Proceedings. Atlanta, Ga, August 20th.—Preceded by extensive entertainment preparations on the part of the citizens and the local Negro Business League of Atlanta, the 22nd Annual meeting of the National Negro Business League held in Atlanta last week on August 17-19, 1921, was characterized by harmony among the officers and mutual confidence and respect among the delegates who came in large numbers from all parts of the country to attend the session. While the North and East were not largely represented, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, and the Carolinas sent splendid delegations of successful business men and women. Enthusiasm ran high at all of the sessions, which were held at Big Bethel A. M. E. church, except the Wednesday evening session which was held at the Auditorium Armory. DR SCOTT'S ADDRESS A GEM The feature of the opening session on Wednesday morning, was the address and annual report of Dr. H. J. Scott, the Executive Secretary of the League, who has been the secretary since the organization of that body. He sketched in outline the history of the League and its achievements from the Boston meeting in 1900 up to the present time, referring in particular detail to the new-program adopted by the body in St Louis two years ago, which is designed to bring Negro Business League concerns into closer affiliation with each other. This program is shown in parts: 1. Fundamentally to serve the cause of Negro business, as a clearing house for the collection, compilation, and dissemination of all kinds of useful data, information, etc. that might be sent into National headquarters by any of the officers, members, or the friends of the Business League, or any of the several hundred branch local leagues. 2. That National Headquarters should keep the Negro Press and the white newspapers and magazine press regularly and rightfully informed to the achievements of Negro men and women in all parts of America and the world, and to exploit and forward the interests of all worthy racial endeavors. 6. To place in the/field efficiency experts for the purpose of studying Negro business and making such practical suggestions as would serve to put such Negro business enterprises in touch with live, up to date, economical, and successful business methods. WEDNESDAY EVENING SESSION At this session fully 5000 people attended the meeting which was held at the Auditorium Armory. Mayor James L. Key, who was accompanied by Hon. John J. Egan, a banker of Atlanta, spoke in terms of earnest approval of the efforts of the race of Atlanta and of Georgia to win a place in the Business World. He referred in detail not only to what Colored business men are accomplishing but to what the city of Atlanta is doing in the way of encouraging them. ADDRESS The address of Dr. R. R. Moton President of the National Negro Business League was the feature of the Wednesday evening session. Dr. Moton's address was well received by the large and enthusiastic audience present. The following are passages from the address: "During the past four years there has been a great deal of discussion about the large number of Negroes reported to be migrating to the north from this section of the country. This number was variously estimated to be as high as three millioin. Just recently it was pointed out that the Negro population of the South has increased a little less than two per cent. These figures have led many many people to conclude that excavably half of the Negroes of the country are now living in the northern and western part of the country. The recently issued census figures, however showed that about 400,000 Negroes have left the South. Of the total Negro population, 8,912,000, or 8g per cent. are still living in the South. On the other hand, in spite of the heavy migration, only about a million and a half, or about 15 per cent. are living in the North. This means, as has been so often stated that the race problem to a very large extent has still to be worked out south of Mason and Dixon's line. "The past two years have been marked by a continued increase in property ownership of our race. In almost every section of the country the colored race has been investing in property. It is conservatively estimated that $25,000,000 was spent during the past year in the purchase of homes." "Another encouraging feature of our progress is the increased volume of business which the insurance companies are doing. In the past year alone the volume of business done by the insurance companies increased by more than 50 million dollars. The Standard Life Insurance company of this city, headed by Mr. H. E. Perry, as an example, during that time wrote over 13 million dollars worth of paid insurance, and passed the million dollar mark in its assets. THREE BUREAUS RECOMMENDED It is proposed to establish three Bureaus in connection with the National Negro Business League: First, a Bureau of Business Promotion; second, a Bureau on Public Education and Co-Operation; third a Bureau on Health. The Bureau on Public Education and Co-Operation is designed to acquaint our people with the business opportunities already existing which they might use for their own benefit and to direct them in the proper steps to be taken in using them. In this connection, I am reminded of an incident that happened a few days ago at Tuskegee Institute. A Negro farmer in the state wrote to Tuskegee for help, saying that he had farm land valued at $4,000 but encumbered with a mortgage of $1,200, which was about to be foreclosed because of his inability to meet the obligation. At once, we proceeded to put this man in touch with a Farm Loan Association which readily accepted him as a member, advanced him the necessary funds to meet his obligations and put him in the way, of clearing off his indebtedness. Here we have of available commercial resources, a case simply for want of knowledge a hard working and thrifty Negro farmer was about to lose the results of a long period of self-sacrifice and hard work. A WORD OF WARNING The race is to be congratulated, therefore on the excellent business progress which it has made and is rapidly making, but may I say this word of warning? In the rapid progress that we are making, let me urge that we move, cautiously, that we move wisely; that, while we must have business courage that we must have business sense, that while we all recognize the fact that "business is business," please let us keep in mind that business may become poor business, and it may become bad business. Do not let us in our business deceive ourselves, and do not for heaven's sake deceive the people. Let us as honest business men, set our faces like flint against all sentimental wild-cat schemes, so-called business ventures built up largely on hatred, whether of race, color, creed or class. No lasting business enterprise can be built on such a foundation, whether it be class against class or race against race. Then let us make up our minds, also, that whether we succeed or not, that we are going to deal honestly with the public; that we will neither "water our stock" nor our conscience, that we are going to be conscientious and clean in our business dealings whether with white or black or rich VICTOR L. LAWSON, DONATES TO KANSAS INSTITUTION Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute Receives Gift from the Publisher of Chicago Daily News. Mr. Lawson for a number of yeares has carried on his roll, the name of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute to be remembered twice each year with his check to help forward the colored people in the United States. Mr. Lawson is one of those far seeing gentlemen who knows that the maintenance of a school is much cheaper than the maintenance of penal institutions. He knows perfectly well that the education of the colored men in Illinois and Kansas and other western states is as important if not more so, than the education of our people in any other section of the country. Mr. Lawson lets no drive for the benefit of any of the big problems of the far East or his own section of the country prevent him from sending his check semiannually to this institution. Mr. Lawson, no doubt, will make this institution one of his beneficiaries in his final will. Nothing should encourage the public and the young men and women of our race more than to feel that we have such big and honorable men through out the country, who are constantly giving to the less fortuate races to bring them up to a higher standard of citizenship. Money and materials are always needed and at this time, the Institute is greatly in need of lumber for teaching boys carpentry, sewing machines for the girls, cuff and collar machine for the laundry, shirt mangle, lathe for machine shop, mowing machine, lawn mowers and shears for taking care of the lawns and shrubbery, books and assistance of any kind for worthy students who are trying to make their way through school. Mr. Lawson's example should be followed by the good people throughout the country. The public is incorrectly informed if they feel that the state schools do not need donations and bequests as well as private institutions. THE NORTHEASTERN DISTRICT ASSOCIATION HOLDS SESSION The Northeastern District Association closed its 18th annual session on Sunday night and the reports show the best meeting in the history of the organization. Rev. J. W. Hayes of the First Baptist church, Leavenworth, Kansas, was re-elected Moderator for the fifth year. The session was held in Horton, Kansas, Rev. Hayes delivered the Sunday morning sermon for the First Baptist church (white), and as an expression of satisfaction, a committee headed by the pastor of the church visited the Association and requested that Rev. Hayes conduct the out-of-doors Union services on Sunday evening. The request was granted and the Rev. Hayes spoke to a large and appreciative audience. He is not only a great preacher, but a church builder, an organized for efficiency and a financier. His method of raising money is, via "God's Financial Plan." Mrs. Hayes, wife of the Reverend, is making a specialty of Sunday School work and is an expert along that line. or poor. Our race in the past as suffered too much thru watered conscience and watered stock not only at the hands of white business men but too often at the hands of colored men also. RESOLUTION The National Negro Business League in its 22nd session in Atlanta, Georgia, respectfully requests the President of the United States to urge the Senate to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the Liberian Government, the credit of $5,000,000,000, recently established, and that the President, the Secretary and the Chairman of the Executive committee be authorized to bear this message to the White House. IF YOU ARE SEEKING NEWS OF YOUR HOME TOWN—ABOUT ALL, THE FOLKS BACK THERE THE OLD TIMERS WHO ARE BACK ON A VISIT—THEN THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER IS THE PAPER YOU WANT. READ IT. A FITTING RECOGNITION Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St Joseph, Mo., who lost his only son in late War, appointed 'Special Expert' in U. S. Veterans' Bureau. By Wm. H. Davis, Washington News Correspondent special to the Plaindealer. Washington, D. C. August 28—A recent enactment by the U. S. Congress has abolished the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and, in its stead, has created the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, which consolidates under one head all the powers hitherto vested in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Federal Board of Vocational Training and U. S. Veterans' Bureau is the result of a bill (H. R. 6611) introduced by Hon. Burton E. Sweet, of Wavery, Iowa. Hon. Charles R. Forbes, of Seattle, Washington, was recently appointed and sworn in as Director of said Bureau. One of his first official acts evidencing his deep interest in colored ex service men, was to appoint Dr. J R. A. Crossland, a loyal and active Negro Republican of St. Joseph, Mo, as a "Special Expert" in said department. Dr. Crossland, whose only son, during the recent World War, made the Supremg sacrifice, will especially look after the interests of colored soldiers and sailors and see that they are given all the rights, opportunities and benefits to which they are entitled under existing laws. With a force of colored clerks, stenographer, etc., he will have headquarters in the main Veterans' Bureau building, corner Vermont avenue and H streets, Washington, D. C., and all claims for compensation, war risk insurance, vocational training, rehabilitation, medical treatment, etc. on the part of ex service men of our racial group will be carefully looked after if addressed to him. His selection for this important post was advocated and endorsed by the entire Missouri delegation in Congress, including Hon. Charles L. Faust, of the 4th Congressional district, and Senator Selden P. Spencer, who were the most active in his behalf. The position carries with it one of the best salaries yet given to any colored federal appointee. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland is emidently fitted for this position for a number of reasons. First—He gave his only son during the recent World War as a priceless tribute to the Altar of Patriotism, which makes him vitally interested in the welfare of all service men. Second, for years he has been an active republican, persistently pleading with tongue, pen and influence for the triumph of Republican principles and Republican candidates; Third, he is a whole souled, race man, widely and favorably known in fraternal, political, business educational and religious circles—one who has been successfully engaged in the practice of medicine for the past thirty years and actively identified with numerous efforts for civic, educational, business and other forms of racial uplift. He is the man for the place, capable in every way of looking after and safe guarding the interests of ex service men of our racial group. He was the only man, white or black, of the Missouri delegation, who was unanimously elected a Delegate at Large to the last Republican National Convention. He served under President Roosevelt as U. Minister and Consul General in the Negro Republic of Liberia, in Africa. As a medical practitioner he has won success and renown, and ex soldiers are fortunate in having a man of this calibre, deeply interested in their welfare, to look after and prosecute their just claims. Upon being interviewed by your Washington Correspondent, Dr. Crossland said: "My appointment is in line with the wishes very cordially expressed by President Warren G. Harding, Col. Charles R. Forbes, new I appointed Director of the U S. Veterans' Bureau and by Major Dean, head of the Vocational department of said Bureau—all of whom are determined to see that colored ex service men get a square deal and are treated identically the same as other ex-soldiers and sailors. Of course, I am deeply gratified because of my appointment, not so much because of the personal recognition involved, but mainly because it shows that the Presideut and Col. Chas. R. Forbes, both keenly appreciate the worth of ex service men of our racial group and are determined to see that they are given a square deal and are treated identically the same as all other American soldiers and sailors in all matters that pertain to their rights under existing laws. My deep and abiding interest in the welfare of ex service men is plainly witnessed by the fact that my only son, my own child was their comrade in the recent World War and made the "Supreme Sacrifice," dying in the honored uniform of an American soldier. While I am proud of his record, yet I would rather have laid down my own life in defense of our Country's flag than to have lost my only son, upon whom the fondest hopes of his Mother and father were based. Ex service men will find in me a true friend and an energetic advocate of all of their rights and interests, and I accept the call because I feel that, in a sense, I am only taking up the work left unfinished by my son and am giving up a successful medical practice only because I feel that this new field of labor is one that will afford me an opportunity to render the greatest service to my Country and to the fifteen million Negro citizens of this country whose unquestioned valor and patriotism, proven in so many ways merit for them tangible recognition and encouragement. Negro soldiers played an important part in the recent world War. Over a million of them were called to the colors, as drafteen, and 400,000 of them actually served as soldiers and sailors under the 'Stars and Stripes' and bared their bosoms to Hun bullets, shrapnel, shot and shell on the battle-fields of France, in the Argonne Forest, St Mihiel and Metz. Indeed in every war that has confronted the American Republic, Negro soldiers and sailors have distinguished themselves and their race by valorous deeds and acts of bravery. The first American blood shed in the Revolutionary War was that of Crispus Attucks, a Negro. Negro sailors aided Perry on Lake Erle. Negro soldiers, nearly 200,000 strong helped to "save the Union" in the GPs and merited for their entire race, Lincoln's Emancipation. If there ever was a time in this country which called for a public exhibition of friend ship and gratitude on the part of our strong white Americans towards loyal and patriotic members, and especially ex service men, of our racial group, this is the hour, and I believe that my appointment is but an emblem of the splendid spirit now so necessary and now existing. I am especially grateful to my Congressman, Lion, C. Faust, to Senator Selden P, Spencer, and indeed to the entire Missouri delegation in Congress, as well as other prominent and influential citizens, both white and colored, who have so warmly endorsed me and who have so lofty and actively supported me for this position. I shall give to the position the very best service that is in me. It shall be my aim through real satisfactory service, to remove the despondent feeling that now seems to prevail throughout the length and breadth of this country especially among ex service men; to win and deserve their confidence and cooperation; to develop my office, now consisting of only a few colored helpers, to a size more in keeping with the large number of ex service men of our racial group whose interests are to be carefully looked after; and to conduct my office on the highest plane of practical efficiency. REV. J. W. LEWIS PASTOR OF MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev, J. W. Lewis, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, 14th and Monroe, came to the city, in September, 1920, and during the latter part of October went to Vlan and Mitch, Okla., for a few days visit. On Dec. 20th, he returned to Topeka and accepted the pastorate of Mt Carmel Baptist church, at which time the membership was composed of 43 people, 17 of whom were real church supporters. Up to date, the church has 40 members who are strong workers. In February, Rev. Lewis purchased a lot on the east side at 1418 Chandler, 33 12 by 383 12 for the sum of $250 00 and built a six room bungalow worth $1007 00, which is now nearing completion and which was built leaving only $152 00 indebtedness. The Rev Lewis is getting along fine with his church and is doing much good in the community. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR A Patient Writes. HOWEVER, KANSAS INSTITU- TIONS ARE FREE TO ALL - NO SEGREGATION ALLOWED Norton, Kansas, August 26, 1921. Mr. Nick Chiles; Editor, Topeka Plaindealer. Dear Sir:—You will do your readers and the colored world in general, a great favor if you will kindly publish the following article in your paper. In some way interest the doctors and colored people in your vicinity about tuberculosis, so that they may take steps to educate the colored folk concerning this disease which is so prevalent, and which is curable in 90 per cent of cases, in its incipiency. Superintendent Kenny, of the State Sanatorium at Norton, Kansas, speaks in the interest of colored people. Let us awaken to the chance our state is giving us. Kansas has appropriated some $16.000 for the express purpose of erecting a fine pavilion with facilities to accommodate twelve colored patients. Today it is almost empty. The interested superintendent has become some what discouraged over the matter, and called the colored patients together in a private counseltation. He requested that they mention what steps should be taken to fill the pavilion. The room is here and no colored applicants; Now it is as Dr. Kenny states, if we do not take advantage of this pavilion at the sanatorium, and there are numerous individuals of our race culpis, the state will not make fur- who are in incipient stages of tuber-ther provision for the colored people. Furthermore, the pavilion for the colored people will be turned over to patients of the other race now on the waiting list to enter the institution. We have several patients (colored) who have left the sanatorium in good shape. And at present, we have four colored patients who are on their way to health. Remember that the state of Kansas provides rooms for its colored citizens who are unable to stand the expenses. Simply go to your Tuberculosis clinic which is held periodically and be examined. The city nurse will look after your case immediately and inform you as to details. A COLORED PATIENT. PROMINENT OKLAHOMA RACE WOMAN PRAISES TOPEKA Chandler, Okla. Sept. 1, 1921.

POULTRY AT STATE FAIR Poultry and pet stock exhibitors were very agreeably surprised at the large number of exhibits of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and pet stock which were gathered from all parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri at the Kansas State Fair last year.

Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has discovered a new vitalizer superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time the vitality is revised, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore, the laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called Re-Nu Tabs, are so confident of its power that they offer it on the basis of "no results, no pay." Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address, to the Re Nu Tab Laboratories, Dept. 144, Gateway station, Kansas City, Mo, and a full treatment of Re-Nu-Tabs will be mailed. Deposit $200 with the postman on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of a week, notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully guaranteed. CO-OPERATE-GET TOGETHER, SUPPORT AND BOOST OUR OWN TO EACH AND EVERY COLORED MAN AND WOMAN IN THIS CITY. ENTERPRISES.
