PENNSYLVANIA BATTLES TO PUNISH "GRAFTERS" VOL. 23 NO. 41. Pennsylvania has begun the battle against the state capitol grafters. The sensational disclosures of fraud that startled the nation in the recent San Francisco upheaval that sent Mayor Schmitz to jail, and pulled down from high places other prominent citizens is likely to be repeated in the Keystone State. The new state capitol, which was to have cost four million dollars, was 50 manipulated in the interests of private persons that it cost thirteen millions, and an investigating committee appointed in deference to the angered people who manipulated has just, in a lengthy report, determined that the nine million dollars represent the amount of which the commonwealth was defrauded through a most astounding system of juggling and misrepresentation. Officials of hitherto unimpeachable reputation, leading business men, one United States representative and a JOSEPH M. HUSTON, The capitol architect. number of contracting firms, never before suspected of complicity in anything crooked, are pointed out in the report as the conspirators from whom the state has a right to demand satisfaction. Fourteen of them have been indicted by the grand jury and have been dragged into court to answer to the indictments. The alleged principals in the gigantic fraud include: Joseph M. Huston, a skilled young architect, never before mixed up with any deal of a dubious character. He is credited with having been the manship of the present conspiracy. He collected, it is reported more than half a million dollars on the deal. John H. Sanderson, a Philadelphia decorator, who secured nearly six million dollars' worth of contracts, put about one and a half million dollars' worth on them, and realized four and a half million dollars' worth of profits. Congressman H. Burd Cassel, president of the Pennsylvania Construction company, which supplied some two million dollars' worth of filing cases at an enormous profit, the amount of cases being so far in excess of the number needed that to-day they are crowded into cellars and spare rooms all over the building, it being impossible to find room enough for the absurd number for which the state imposed a high-priced fee.

These are the men at whom the capitol commission has pointed at accusing fingers, but it is said that even this is not the end, and that before the cases have gone through the courts others will be involved in the immense scandal. The story of how the state was robbed would be amusing but for the hugeness of the cost to the people. The job was so skillfully done that perhaps it would never have been discovered but for the accident that put Democrat, W. H. Berry, in the state treasury. In fact, Pennsylvania, ignorant of how it had been frauded, was extolling those who built the capitol' at the very time that Mr. Berry was getting together his facts for the exposure that shook the state. The present capitol at Harrisburg replaces the temporary structure burned down about ten years ago. Every effort was made to safeguard the state when the commission was appointed to erect the new structure. Philadelphia, in its new city hall, a job that lasted some twenty-five years, had made a fortune for those who had it in hand, served ^s as a warning, and a commission was formed, which included men of honesty and keenness. Former Gov. Stone, whose record as a public official had been somewhat dimmed by his subservience to the Quay regime, seemed to develop a JAMES M.

He would make it his monument. And Gov. Stone made good, for a not breath of scandal attaches to that part of the work in which he figured. It was all done honestly and well. Four million dollars were set apart for the work. The sum was small, but the commissioners announced that by spending the money properly, a building could be erected that would be a credit to the state. The completed capitol justified the predictions. Panegryes were pronounced on the new building by all who saw it, and the joy of the people was supreme when it was announced that the building had been put up at less than the four million dollars appropriated, and that a balance of $30,000 would be turned back into the state treasurer but unto cool itself and issue from the new pillars of the massive pile. Mr. Berry, elected state treasurer began to uncoil itself and issue from the new pillars of the massive pile. Mr. Berry, elected state treasurer of 1905, had been doing some work on his books, and was astounded to find that the money appointed by the commission appointed to build the capitol "My father," said Mrs. Murphy, "always gits up with a lady enthers the room."

THE APPEAL. was only a small part of what had actually been expended. While the capitol commission had been dealing out with economic care another body had been lavishing millions with no thought whatever but for private illegal gain. This is the standing body provided for in the state constitution, and known as the "Public Grounds and Buildings Commission." The functions of this committee were small. It was never intended to do anything more than care for the structures owned by the state. Yet on the shadow of authority it took possession of the building when finished by the capitol commission, and on the plea of "trimming" it, spent more than twice what the original building had cost. This "trimming" was the joker. The people of Pennsylvania imagined that the $4,000,000 he had spent would furnish the building complete. They would not have objected seriously had another million, 25 per cent of the cost of the construction, been required to furnish the building in a manner worthy a structure of such imposing lines. But $4,000,000 to build and $9,000,000 more to furnish formed figures that could not be credited. CONGRESSMAN H. BURD CASSEL, President of the Pennsylvania Construction company, which got $2- 00,000 worth of metal contracts on the capitol. State Treasurer Berry first made his disclosures during the campaign that resulted in the election of Edwin S. Stuart for governor over Lewis Emery, Jr. The revelations of the state treasurer were somewhat discounted by the general belief that he was playing politics, but though Emery, who was Berry's candidate, lost, the victor, Gov. Stuart, did not remain idle. He at once ordered a rigid investigation, obtained an investigating committee, non-partisan in character, and composed of men of the highest integrity. For six months the commission continued its investigation, and as a result of its report fourteen of the alleged grafters have been arrested and stand a good chance of going to prison.

Japan's extraordinary success of the last decade is the result of a faithful imitation of another wonderfully successful nation. Germany is Japan's model. Thirty-five years ago, when the mikado's land began to feel the first thrill of the new life, the counsellors of the ruler sought a model which could be followed in the effort for a new, progressive national existence. Germany, at that time in full flush of the wonderful triumph over the French, a victory which gave the Fatherland an impetus that has carried it forward in leaps and bounds attracted Nippon. The German empire had just been newly formed out of a heterogeneous collection of states that hitherto had had little in common, and between whom only discord had reigned. Yet so perfect was the system evolved by the genius of Emperor William, Count von Moltke and Bismarck, that the new nation had been able to overwhelm the French, the nation that produced Napoleon, greatest soldier of the country, and which a few years before the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war had emerged a victor in the struggle for the freedom of Italy. Here was the country whose career Japan wished to emulate. The imitative Orientals made a study of the Fatherland, its government, its institutions, its military and governmental systems. And so faithful has been the imitation that in a few years Japan has emerged from almost barbarity into one of the world's half dozen powers. The story of how Japan elected to vote the footsteps of Germany, was told by the historian Nishi, inspector general of military instruction in the Japanese army, who MARQUIS ITO, The "Bismarck of Japan." has spent many years in Germany studying the military system of the war lord's domain. Just as Germany had a war of preparation to get ready for the main aration to get ready for the main nation, so had Japan. Germany, or that part of it then known as Prussia, first tested the efficiency of its military system against Austria in 1868, and scored a speedy victory. In this conflict the best militarization of the nation were engaged in chiefly the art of warfare. The strength and the power of the army was inspected with minutest care. This war meant nothing but preparation for the greater conflict soon to come. And when Germany met France, she was ready for that war because the equipment used against Austria four years before had been developed and prepared, imported and increased. So with Japan. The quarrel with China afforded a convenient pretext for a struggle that would give data, would enable Oyama and other foremost military authorities to see just how formidable was the military and naval engine they had been building up. Germany was ready. France was not. So anxious was Bismarck for war in 1870 that the famous forged sword of Ems was made to afford a pretext for an instant declaration. Taking lessons from this subterfuge, the military initially precipitated the struggle with Russia, attacking the Russian ships at Portsmouth and Chemulpo before war had been formally declared. The prize for which Germany fought was the rich one of Alsace and Lorraine, and Japan, not to miss an opportunity of living up to the model, appropriated Korea for its need at success that resulted in Russia's defeat. [Picture of a man in a military uniform with a star on his chest]. FIELD MARSHAL COUNT HELMUTH VON MOLTKE, Germany's great tactician. Japan has its Bismarck, too, in the person of the great leader, the Marquis Ito. Bismarck is given the credit of creating modern Germany. He deserves it. He was both the soldier and the connoisseur of statesmen. When he was recalled to Petersburg in 1852 to deal with the crisis, he was appointed prime minister, and minister of foreign affairs. [Name] [Image of a man's profile] The Japanese Bismarck, the Count Hiroumi Ito, born in 1840, made a visit to Germany in his youth, and discovered that the civilization of Japan so much vaunted at home was far inferior to what they knew in the Fatherland. He also made a tour of Europe, and even came to the United States, but his preference was ever for German ideas. In 1886 he entered as premier the reorganized cabinet of the milkado, and thereupon inaugurated many of the modern movements whose fruit Nippon is reaping now. He was the father of the constitution which was promulgated in 1889, and which it is frankly admitted follows closely on the lines of the principles of German government. Like Bismarck, Ito was not content to remain statesman purely and simply. When the war in China came in 1894, the premier took command of a Japanese fleet, and conducted himself with bravery and skill. In the West it is not possible to know that Ito has done for Japan, and any fallback Japanese will tell you that he has richly merited his comparison to Bismarck. The vital part played by Von Moltke in the successful issue of the Franco-Prussian struggle was always admitted even by Bismarck himself. Bismarck was the man of action; Von Moltke the planner. Similarly Japan has a planner in the famous Field Marshal Oyama, under whose ideas were fought the struggle with Russia. It is not denied that at every point of preparedness, provisioning its men and all the tactics that go to carry warfare to a successful struggle, Oyama had outfought Kuropatkin and all the other famous leaders of the czar's army. --- MINNESOTA HISTORICAL THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any King or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. RULERS OF CAPITAL With a Population of Only 3,000. The city of Washington was not incorporated until 1802, at which time its population was only about 3,000. The government then was entirely different from the present form. Its charter provided for a mayor, to be appointed annually by the president, and for a city council of 12 members, to be selected by the white male inhabitants who had paid taxes the previous year. The corporation had authority to levy taxes, provide police, health and building regulations, to maintain and repair streets and to do other things usually done by municipal corporations. In 1832 a slight change was made, the mayor being selected by the qualified voters. This act also gave enlarged powers to the corporation. It being asked to note that prior to 1812 neither the mayor nor the members of the council received any pay for their services. Slight changes were again made in 1820, from which date until 1871, when the charter was revoked and a new form of municipal government was established, the mayor was elected by the vote of the qualified electors. The board of aldermen and common council elected by the taxpayers continued to legislate for the city. Considerable diplomacy had to be used in securing the land necessary for the city. Nineteen of the proprietors, in consideration of the great benefit they expected to derive from having the federal city laid off upon their land, finally agreed to convey all their land to the president or the commissioners appointed by him under these conditions: First—They were to receive no compensation for the land taken for streets, the title to which should be in the United States. Second—The president was authorized to retain as many squares as he thought necessary for public improvement or other public uses, for which land they should receive $66 2-3 an acre. Third—The balance was to be laid out in lots, one half to go to the United States, the other half to the owners of the land. The money received from the sale of lots belonging to the United States was to be used in paying for the land in public use and in erecting public buildings. Other land was obtained by condemnation. The changes made in 1871 provided a municipal government for the entire district. The executive officer was a governor, appointed by the president, for a term of four years. The legislative body was an assembly composed of a council and a house of delegates, the members of the former being appointed by the president, the members of the latter elected by the qualified voters. The district was allowed a delegate in the house of representatives, who was also elected by the qualified voters, and who was a member of the committee on the District of Columbia of the house of representatives. There were several boards provided, the principal one being the board of public works, composed of the governor and four other persons, which had authority to make building regulations, build bridges and sewers and to perform other similar duties. In the District of Columbia all real and personal property, except the property of the United States and the District, property of foreign governments used for legation purposes, church property, property used for educational property and farm land are taxed at the rate of one and one-half per cent. Land used for farming purposes is taxed at one per cent. The law provides that to the extent congress shall approve the estimates made by the commissioners it shall be made from the revenues of the District of Columbia and one-half from the treasury of the United States, so that the general government pays one-half, the other half being raised by taxation. The district has no delegate in congress as the territories have. The commissioners appear before the committee of the house and the committee of the senate on the District of Columbia to urge the legislation they think necessary, and before the appropriation committee to explain the financial needs of the district. The schools are under a board of education appointed by the judges of the supreme court of the district, and consisting of nine members, three of whom must be women. There are 12 medical inspectors for the schools, working under the health officer of the district. Defective Page The judiciary of the District of Columbia consists of a court of appeals, which is composed of a chief justice and two associate justices; a supreme court, composed of a chief justice and five associate justices; a police court of two judges; justices of the United States commissioners.

SATURDAY, OCT. 12, 1907. THE FELLOWS WHO MAKE JIMCROW LAWS. The disfranchisement of Afro-Amer-ican citizens by indirect nullification of the constitution of the United States is pretty generally excused as being rendered necessary by their ignorance and deprivacy. The argument as to ignorance is disproved by the well-established fact that less than one-half of the race is still illiterate. In the matter of deprivacy it is interesting to compare the deprivacy of the Afro-American with that of some of the fellows who pass the Jimcrow laws. We select for this comparison the Arkansas legislature of 1905 from the fact that the record of its members has been given to the public and attested by the best of evidence. That record is partially as follows: Senator Butt has served a term in the penitentiary for boodling; Representative Adams was expelled for boodling. In addition, the Arkansas Gazette gives the following dates for the trial of others of the boodling fraternity: The program of boodling cases as now arranged is as follows: October 28—A. W. Covington, per- Chiffro DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal of the Great Tuukogee Institute, the Annual Report of Which Appears in this Issue. November 1—C. B. Andrews, bribery. November 4—A. W.

November 11—Benjamin McFerrin, misdemeanor. November 18—George W. Caldwell, accessory to the crime of bribery and also accessory to the crime of offering a bribe. November 25—M. D. L. Cook, misdemeanor. THE PILGRIM FATHERS. A southern Baptist journal says: There is a great mistake that gives the honor of American liberty to the Puritans and pilgrim fathers. Then children persecuted the Quakers and Baptists in Massachusetts as severely as those colonial religious laws would permit. The banishment of Roger Williams is an instance of that. This same Williams established the Rhode Island colony upon Baptist principles, of which a German philosopher says: "Here in this little state (Rhode Island) the fundamental principles of political liberty prevailed before they were taught in the schools The boodling occurred in connection with the erection of the new "million dollar state house." Covington was president of the senate; Cook and Caldwell the contractors for the erection. It will be noticed that the contractors are charged merely with misdemeanors; as a charge of felony would have disqualified them as witnesses, and their testimony, under a promise of immunity, was the one available evidence. Besides the above-mentioned a number of other members have not, as yet, been indicted simply because proper evidence has not been forthcoming. It is enough to make a jackass laugh to hear such a gang of degenerates discussing the deprivacy of the Afro-American and showing the necessity of Jimcrow laws to protect the morality of the white race. And every one of the gang can do it elogently and forcibly. HE WAS KIND TO THE POOR. Tennill Tillman will probably be shocked to learn, when he reads his Inter-Orcean, that, notwithstanding all his excellent preachments to the "ignoramuses of Chicago," the following recently occurred in this benighted city: More than 1,000 persons attended the funeral of an Afro-American gambler in this city on Monday. They filled to suffocation the large church where the services were held and overflowed into the streets. Hundreds of them followed the body for miles to its last resting place. They were all soils and conditions of people, black, white and yellow, ranging in station from inmates of haunts of vice to police officials of deserved renown for fidelity to their trust, and poor laborers to prosperous merchants. In his death they felt a sorrow which they could not but show. Sincere evidences of real grief were visible on every hand. Strong men wept openly for a friend and were not ashamed of their emotion. The individual in question was John Johnson, the proprietor of a saloon, but he was noted for his marty acts of kindness to the poor and unfortunate. There may be a lesson in this for the senator. EMMETT J. SCOTT. A SOUTHERN Baptist journal says: There is a great mistake that gives the honor of American liberty to the Puritans and pilgrim fathers. Then children persecuted the Quakers and Baptists in Massachusetts as severely as those colonial religious laws would permit. The banishment of Roger Williams is an instance of that. This same Williams established the Rhode Island colony upon Baptist principles, of which a German philosopher says: "Here in this little state (Rhode Island) the fundamental principles of political liberty prevailed before they were taught in the schools of philosophy in Europe. The fact is that the closer the Pilgrim fathers are viewed, the more the flaws in their character become apparent. They had a good share of big and little faults. Good old Cotton Matter tried to fix up a scheme to kidnap William Penn and sell him into slavery in the Barbados, but that did not prevent the brother from being recognized as a pillar in the church. The Pilgrim fathers cropped the ears of Quakers, banished Baptists and burned slaves, in the name of the Lord and for the advancement of his cause. They burned witches and branded harlots. They first robbed, then slaughtered the Indians. So far as the principles of opposition to slavery, freedom of thought and religious toleration are concerned, their authors were the Quakers, Catholics and Baptists, and not the Pilgrim fathers. THE APPEAL is in a quardary as to "tainted money." The Lord Bishop of London says: "No man who is really a Christian would soil his Christian hands with one dollar the possession of which he could not justify in the sight of heaven." On the other hand, the eminent philosopher, J. L. Sullivan, says that a Rockefeller dollar will buy as much bread for a missionary as any other fellow's dollar. Now it is hard to decide when such eminent authorities differ; but, until it reaches a decision, it will receive any kind of a dollar its patrons choose to send without any protest or remonstrance. "The Oriental laborer would be sure to cut wages. He does not rise to the standard of the country like the immigrant from Europe, nor can he be assimilated like the Europeans." To which might have been added that the political parties can make no use of him." American civilization in the shape of mob murder has been introduced into Persia. The Asiatic is rapidly acquiring western civilization and may eventually become as true a barbarian as Vardaman. HIS FIRST LOVE. Women Sculptors Should Not Marry By Vinnie Ream Hoxie Famous Woman Sculptor Tells How She Became Wedded to Her Art—Made 16 Life-Sized Busts in First Two Months of Experience—Every One Can Marry—Not All Can Model—Matrimony Hinders Development of Art—Men Quick to Appreciate Genius in Women. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles). (Mrs. Vinnie Ream Hoxie has the distinction of being the only American woman who has had her statues accepted by the United States government and placed in the room of the capital at Washington. Her life-size marble figure of President Lincoln is familiar to all-seers in its captivity while the bronze of Abraham Lincoln is one of the best works of art in Washington. Statues of many other great Americans have been made by her.) The field of sculpture for women is unlimited, but the workers are few, for one must have a very decided talent—a genius for it—to enter the field at all. There must be no mistake about this. Medicivir will not do. Industry and application will not do. Persuasion will not do. The only reason for men or women trying to follow sculpture as a profession is that they are so irresistibly impelled toward it and impressed with their own ability that they cannot possibly resist the impulse to model in clay. Many girls have sought advice on this subject, asked how they could know if they had marked ability or talent, and also, desiring to be sculptors, what method I would suggest, to learn their recommendation? These questions are not easy to temper and told them that they could find out by shouting themselves up with some clay and seeing what they could evolve from the crude material. I have told them that, like love, this knowledge "comes not by appointment, but at some unexpected corner it springs forth." A good way —the only way to test the matter would be to take some common potter's clay (it seems almost sacred to me) and if, alone and unaided, they cannot instantly bring forth something beautiful or artistic from its weird depths, where statutes lie imprisoned, then let them come forth from that room, "leaving hope behind," and let them then and there embark on all idea of being sculptors and follow in the footsteps of the "divine Angelo." My own experience when making my first steps in the study of art—a study that has been such a great pleasure and comfort to me all my life long—may be of interest. A mere child—a delicate girl—I had never been in a studio until the fateful day when I was taken to Clark Mills' studio by a friend. He was modeling in clay and I was instantly impressed with the fact that I, too, could model, and in that very hour I made my first essay. In two months I had made in clay the likenesses of Steven, Reverdy Johnson, Gen.uster J. Warren, Gen. McClenan, Gen. Thomas, Gen. Fremont, Representative John Wentworth of Chicago, Gen. Frank P. Blair, Senators John Sherman and Nesmith, Parson Brownlow, Gen. morehead of Pennsylvania, Representative Garfield, Gov. Yates of Illinois and Abraham Lincoln. They were all life-size busts and I have copies of them all here in my studio now, and I look at them with deep and affectionate gratitude, as they all became my warm and ever-so-sweet companion to industry, application and laughter. These busts were to be said to be skilled likenesses and the senators' and men's efforts took a deep interest in their young protege and had the kindness, sympathy and courage to uphold willing hands. If a woman feels that she has unusual talent for sculpture and desires to enter this field, let her determine to make it her life work. Let her not be handcapped by marriage. Every one can marry, but not all can model. Not that I discourage matrimony—an institution so noble in itself—but it is distinctly not conducive to development in art. Hus- bands naturally are jealous of any other love, and a mother's heart years more tenderly over her real than her clay children. Little ones demand constant attention, and there is work enough in a house, be the servants never so plenitious, to absorb the constant attention of a woman and keep her busy day after day, week after week and month after month. If a woman student is really seriously in earnest let her study anatomy and draw from the nude. Let her learn to draw into her work. If she can afford it and her engage experienced teachers that she may profit by their experience, and let her follow every advantage that will procure. If but she cannot afford these help, let her take the clay in her own untutored hands and work out her own salvation. There is certainly nothing unwomanly in this vocation. All the surroundings of art are elevating. Its environment is refined and its presence is felt by the pure in heart. A woman need not even be before the public if she desires privacy. In her own ragied studio she can bring forth these children of genius, and if they are stamped with that seal, public opinion will be the high priest that will christen them and the world will recognize their worth. Every surrounding of art is refined and its atmosphere pure. A woman's touch is as delicate, her eye as true and her hand as firm as that of a man. Yet it is not the delicate touch, the true eye, that speaks the artist. The men who reproduce beautiful statues are not these things that bespeak the grand result. It is the seeing of these things in the mind's eye before they have taken shape in the clay. It is being able to feel these things in advance, as the poet feels in his soul his verses, as the orator feels his theme, waxing him eloquent to move the hearts of others. We must feel deeply ourselves to reach others, and to bring forth a work of art it must be in our minds to conceive it first before we can come to it from silent clay. Themes of beauty are of great must chase each other through the brain. The mind must be filled with noble purposes and beautiful shadows, ideal forms, majestic, noble groups waiting to be set free. All of these must hover around and inspire the artist, even though he or she may never have the means to carry any of them out to perfection in the marble or the bronze. The artist's greatest work is often being done when his model is being done, when he sits apparently hide, when he blooms in the theme," sometimes for weeks, for months. Beside this work which is being done by the brain, the mind, the soul, the working out in the clay seems to be almost mechanical. The field for art is broadening every year. Our forefathers had no time or means for these luxuries, for luxuries they certainly are, not necessities. Wealth is accumulating and the rich like to surround themselves with beautiful and costly things. People of refinement and culture try to satisfy for themselves this thirst for elegant and artists surroundings. Even the young yearn for them and in their squandering prints and cheap plaster casts of impossible figures adorn their walls, attesting to their desire—their reaching out—for something beyond, better than the toll and monotony of their daily lives. Their tastes are slowly becoming educated, and the public schools, a great factor in this cause, on a broader and more generous plan than of old, are gradually advancing art in the minds of the young people. The once barren walls of the public schools are illuminated with the finest engravings and photographs of celebrated paintings and their hails are adorned with casts of treasured statues of ancient art. If a woman's work is as good as that of a man she will receive equal recognition—even more prompt recognition, for men are surprised when we have the courage to compete with them and more quickly recognize our ability. They are not thyrants some women, but them, but kind and good and generous. We need to feel that we are not simply passive but are really seriously ingent. There are, no doubt, some few men who are narrow-minded and unjust and who would keep down the aspirations of woman, but if her work bear the stamp of genius, like truth, it will not be downed. ```markdown ``` An unseatable Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, English and English High School courses, with Industrial Training.

Griffith Visits Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co's Baltimore Department Store—Concern Has Built Scores of Homes—Owns Big Savings Bank. For the past three months the people of the West have heard much concerning the Metropolitan Mercantile Realty Co. and the perhaps more venturesome than others, have placed their confidence and dollars in this Afro-American enterprise, which has done so much and bids fair to even greater things in the future. It seems that the majority of people of who have given the matter any serious consideration, though impressed, have not a clear understanding as to what this institution really is, many confusing it with Insurance Companies, Building Loans and so on, misstaking it for a benefit society. The Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty company is an Afro-American corporation founded about eight years ago in the city of New York, combining the real estate, mercantile, banking and beneficial business. It was founded in the city's purposely providing a way for the Afro-American earn a dollar as well as spend one. It is capitalized at $1,000,000 and has branch offices in a score of states in the East, West, North and South. The company has built nearly one hundred homes for its stockholders besides a hospital in Philadelphia, a Masonic Temple in Savannah, Ga., and an apartment house in East Orange, N. J. It also stores in a store in Baltimore, Md., and a flourishing grocery business in the city of Plainfield, N. J., a savings bank in Savannah, Ga., and has a Beneficial Department attached, operating in six states which has a membership of 300,000. In a few weeks the Company has largest department store in the New York the largest department store in the city owned and operated by Afro-American, having 51,500 square feet of flooring, and will give employment to nearly three hundred persons. A few weeks ago Mr. L. H. Smith, the Company's chief representative in this section, who has become a resident of Des Moines, arranged a series of stereopticon exhibits and lectures which was of an educational character to the people as to the achievements of the Company. This was a source of much interest and enjoyment to the many who attended the lectures. The Rev. T. L. Griffith, pastor of the Corrinhall Baptist church, Des Moines, Ia., while on a trip East, made a personal investigation of the Company in the interest of his people and a visit to the Department Store in Baltimore, Md. What he saw and his impressions are best told in his own words: "While on my trip to the East, attending the National Baptist Convention and the Jamesstown Exposition, stopped at Baltimore for the express purpose of viewing the department of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, and say that I was pleased and satisfied with what I saw. The store is located on Eutaw Place near Drudg Hill Avenue, where scores of our people are securing valuable property. It has a most convenient location for this reason. The building itself has a basement and three other stories. On the basement floor they have their grout, and there was every evidence of a large patronage. On the main floor they have a soda fountain, notions, men's furnishings, shoes and office of the store. The second floor is given to ladies clothing and millinery. The floor has the office of the company, and they keep two wagons going, and on Saturdays they use two extra wagons. "The manager of the store, Mr. Diggs, informed me that they have twenty-nine clerks, that the major part of their patronage is from Afro-America can people, but they also have a good number of their customers talked with a number of leading men in Baltimore, all of whom spoke in complimentary terms of the volume of business which is being done. On the whole the business impressed me as asked by a customer, a store manned by our people and we learn it is meeting with success." Such is the testimony of an eye witness to one of the several enterprises of this great corporation. The company had favourable comments from the press both daily and also the standard weekly reviews, which on numerous occasions have made 'favorable and interesting' reference to the practical as well as the theoretical being done by this institution. The following account of the annual stockholders' meeting (August 27, 1907), which appeared in the September 14th newspaper and Financial World of New York is typical of the press' views: "It would scarcely be possible to attach too much importance to the facts and figures that were brought out in the annual report of the Metropolitan well-known Afro-American organizer of this city, whose annual meeting has taken place in the past, the company. it will be remembered the readers of this paper, began business about eight years ago, and has been remarkably successful from the first. It is incorporated under the laws of New Jersey and has a capital stock of $1,000,000, and the fact was that only $200,000 of the shares unsold, $800,000 having been sold in less than eight years. Mr. P. Sheridan Ball, the President of the Company, who is regarded as one of the ablest Afro-American men of this country, called attention in his report to the fashion in which the great importance of New York and surrounding cities is being white investors to the exclusion of the Afro-American, except in undesirable localities, and he called upon the people to sustain the efforts of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Company and to be prepared to buy land, houses and to build houses, the Mercantile & Realty Company, for the by so doing they can aid their people in the only tangible and permanent way. "Mr. J. H. Atkins, the Treasurer of the Company, who also, is an exceedingly able and popular man, presided over the affairs of the company Collins acted as Secretary. There were more than one thousand members present at the meeting, and about a hundred were represented by proxies. It was brought to the port that during the past year the company has acquired by purchase a large tract of land at Rahway, N. J., embracing more than 1,100 lots, on which the company is to build houses which will accommodate about 10,000 people. This is in addition to the 125 lots in Plainfield, N. J., the 208 lots in Harbor, N. Y., and more than 100 improved properties in the city of New York. "The company not only operate in the East, but have also branch offices in most of the Western States, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Missouri; and it is the policy of the company to extend their business through the entire United States. In Baltimore, the company has a big department store, and in Plainfield, J., a big grocery store, and in Savannah, Ga., they are carrying on a big banking business. "For half a dozen years past the company has been paying regular dividends at the rate of 7 per cent per annum on its outstanding capital dividends, justifying even the largest claims that have been made on its behalf." The stock is now selling at its par value, $25 per share. In July, Mr. Smith opened a branch office for the Company in Des Moines, at 515 Mulberry street, in which its branch is located in the states of Iowa and Minnesota is located. The branch is conveniently located, with pleasant surroundings and neatly and attractively furnished. Sunday at The Kendrick. Chef John Payne at The Kendrick, 115 E.

What the Graduates Are Doing—The Demand for Tuskegee Trained Men and Women—Financial Condition— Other Interesting Points. Principal Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, has submitted his annual report to the trustees of that institution. The Demand for Tuskegee. In speaking of the demand for Tuskegee Principal Washington states that the constant and urgent demands that reach the institution from all sections of the country for men and women are held at the Tuskegee Institute is a proof of the value placed on the work by the general public. The outstanding obligations, he stated in his last annual report, amounted to $7,072.47. At the present time such outside obligations amount to $3,222.40 in this indebtedness. These obligations, however, I would state, as I did last year, are more than covered by much needed improvements for which there were no special funds, or by stock in trade represented largely by building material, which has no as: as been worked upon and would have been taken on hand. Over and against this outstanding obligation of $68,351.07 we have owing the institution in cash $14,603.41, stock in bank, trade $79,834.49, and cash in bank, available for current expenses, $2,222.93, or a total of $65,593.85 against; this indebtedness of $68,351.07. I have not included under the head of the obligation any funds rowed from our Endowment Fund and used in prepaying five years' insurance. A budget, copies of which have already been placed in your hands, covering the estimated cost of each department for the coming year, has been prepared by what we term our Finance Committee, of which the chairman, Lloyd Hailsham, is submitted for such action as you may deem wise. It calls for an expenditure to cover all our departments, of $197,743.34 To meet this expenditure we have a income from stated sources, including the State of Alabama, the General Education Board (not promised for next year), Bainbridge University, John F. Slater Fund, the Penbay Fund, and the Endowment Fund, amounting to $82,942.37, leaving $113,800.97, to be secured from the public during the coming year. If we can live within the appropriations of the budget, prepared for next year's expense, it will mean a revaluation of $870.78 in the expenses of the school, as compared with the present year. The department: which at present is the most costly and causes the greatest drain upon the finances of the school is that devoted to agricultural training. This is true largely because of a change in the location of the main farm building, because much land which had been enriched, and which made a considerable return, had recently to be taken for building purposes. Just now I am giving more of my personal attention to the farm than to any other department of the school, and I should like to mention that I have pretty thoroughly worked out for improving the farm through a series of three years. I believe gratifying results will follow the carrying out of these plans, which in brief, contemplate the sale of certain tracts of our present lands not closely connected to the institution, and the purchase of a farm building, by hereby enabling us to better round out our control our farming operations. These plans also contemplate the moving and remodeling of a number of our farm buildings, and the continued improvement of the land. We are already receiving considerable revenue from the sale of diary and truck garden products to the outside public. The largest single gift that has come tousd during the year is that' of $231,072, left as a bequest by the late Mr. Albert, Willcox, of New York city. He speaks the Baldwin fund of $150,000, memory of the late William H. Baldwin, Jr. which was turned over to the Endowment Fund, and a $50,000 gift from Alexander Moss. He commends the "Tuskegee Negro Conference:" the "National Negro Business League," with over four hundred branches; Afro-American department of the Alabama State Fair, etc. He speaks also of the visit made the institution by Hon. Seth Low, and concludes by telling what' it. Needs. Our needs are about as I reported last year. The most pressing ones are: 1. Fifty dollars a year for annual scholarships for the training of one student a year. 2. One thousand dollars for permanent scholarships. 3. Money for current expenses in any amounts, however small. 4. The increase of the. Endowment Fund to at least three million dollars. 2. Twenty-five thousand dollars for a Y. M. C. A. building. 6. Thirty thousand dollars for a boys' dormitory building. boys dormitory building. cottages for teachers, at $1,200 each.

Mrs. Ione Gibbs, on invitation, attended the State Federation of Women's Clubs (white), which was held at Faribault last week, and made a very favorable impression. Words of wisdom from the Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's literature: BENEVOLENCE is that quality of being which, when given expression, intends no man destroys not his good name, nor wherein he resides, beggars not his business, nor creeps maliciously into his social life. Few have it; all expect it. It comes with independence. Independence comes with a feeling of joy and safety. To enjoy the best of life's blessings, own Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's stock. Legislatively sound, corporatively safe, legally secure. M. W. H.

Words of wisdom from the Twin City & Lake Superior Railway Company's literature. YOUTH in trouble, like an unadvised investor who is in doubt as to this city. Lake Superior Railway Company is an investment, is very apt to place its young or inexperienced arms about the neck of age, mistaking it for wisdom. Knowledge does not always dwell with age; no more does folly prank and oftimes plunge pranks and oftimes change Youth, garbed in raiments borrowed from sear and frasted times, deserts life's spring to take up its home 'mid fall's fading foliage and life's decay, making gleeously with painted faces and tinkling bells, is toothless age. 345 Railway Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
