Few communities can boast of such public spirted men as John E. Bush, Attorney Scipio A. Jones, C. R. Jordan, B. W. Jackson, Luther Moore and W. T. Taylor. In the Local Negro Business league Little Rock has a fine organization for the promotion not only of business among the race, but in assisting to advance the race along every honorable and desirable line. The progress being made by the race here is most encouraging, and it demonstrates the power in organization and co-operation. One who visits Little Rock should not leave without calling upon that old patriarch, one of the three remaining "old guard," Judge Mifflin W. Glibbs. More than ninety years have rendered the judge's motor members—his legs—a bit weak and uncertain, but his mind, still unclouded by years, is as keen as ever. I dropped in on him while here and listened to his story of Little Rock's growth from almost a pine forest, when he located here, to a most pretentious commercial city; listened to his story of the progress of the race, and the part he has played in it from the time he was one of the "forty-niners" who went with the "California or bust" crowd in 1849 in quest of gold nuggets down to the present time, when his race controls more than $1,000,000 of real estate in this city. Before the judge retired, and that was a number of years ago, he was reputed to be one of the wealthiest Negroes in the United States. He had $50,000 when he married, more than sixty years ago, and has not had a dollar less since. A Philadelphia by birth, a rugged westerner by adoption, he possesses still all the charm and conservatism of the natives of the City of Brotherly Love. From him I learned much about Little Rock, much about the finest, most hospitable and most progressive of our race who are registering a high water mark of business success. The many beautiful homes owned and occupied by Negroes here, the splendid business houses in Ninth street in the vicinity of the Mosaic temple owned and operated by men and women of the race and the high order of intelligence to be found among these 20,000 Negroes are evidence of a wonderful progress, of which but few of us who reside east of the Mississippi have any idea. Race prejudice only serves to redouble the southern Negro's efforts. Orators should beware of criticizing their audiences. They are likely to provoke retorts that will go far toward marring their effects. A school principal was lecturing his corps of teachers upon efficiency. "What," he demanded, "would be thought of a glove maker who at the close of the season found 10 per cent of his stock returned because it fell below standard requirements? Why should we require 100 per cent efficiency of the glove maker and only 90 per cent of the teacher?" "Because," promptly responded a fearless teacher, "he can select his kids."-Youth's Companion. "When you have mastered the gentle art of winking," said Lord Beaconsfield, "you hold the key to success in your hands." Every one's personality is made up of trivial fallings and trivial talents. Foster the good qualities in your friends and subordinates and wink at those fallings so dear to their possessors. Not to see everything is a rule which will strengthen friendships and help you to get the best results from your fellow workers. LEADING CITY IN THE SOUTHWEST Encouraging Report Concerning Our Success In Business, Facilities For Education and Growth In Religious Culture—Mrs. J. S. Pankey Heads Group of Energetic Women. By RALPH W. TYLER. Little Rock, Ark.—About four hours' ride out of Memphis almost due west brings one to this metropolis of Arkansas, a city in which the 20,000 colored people who live and thrive constitute nearly one-half of the total population. Little Rock is so far in the southwest, so far off among the pines and hills of the state whose name, part French and part Indian, implies "bend of the smoky water," that but few of us who live east of the Mississippi know how rapidly our race is forging to the front in this section. The per capita wealth of the colored people in Little Rock averages $21.10. When you consider that Arkansas is still largely a farming state, that this little city with about 45,000 population is the most pretentious municipality JOHN B. BUSH. In the state and that our race is but fifty years removed from slavery and only twenty years removed from a period when school facilities stood only as the anonym for encouragement, this per capita wealth is a wonderful achievement. It also emphasizes the good results of education. To prove that our race in Little Rock is as eager for brain wealth as it is for material wealth there are seven public schools and two colleges for "higher education." In this community of 20,000 colored people there are seventy-eight teachers in the public schools and fifty instructors in the two colleges. There are fifteen Baptist, twelve Methodist churches and one each of the Roman Catholic, Congregational, Presbyterian and Episcopal denominations to inculcate Christianity and high moral ideals. The race in this city is engaged in practically every line of business found among the white people except banking. This success is due largely because of co-operation and race-pride. The colored people have $350,000 invested in business enterprises and own a trifle over $1,000,000 worth of real estate—a very encouraging showing indeed. There are three lawyers, who enjoy a splendid practice; ten physicians, who are the equal of any other ten that might be picked from among any other race; three skillful dentists and ten retail merchants, not including a jeweler and the three very excellent drug stores conducted by colored men. Little Rock has the only full fledged, active colored female real estate dealer and broker I have met up with in my travels in the person of Mrs. J. S. Pankey. There is also a number of grocery stores conducted here by men of the race. Luther Moore is president of the Local Negro Business league. Mrs. Helen Fleetwood, Mrs. Jennie Miller and Mrs. M. E. Jeffries, with Mrs. Pankey, form a quartet of energetic, intelligent and successful business women. In my more than 10,000 miles traveled I have only met up with two colored men engaged as wholesale commission merchants, and Little Rock has one of these two, who does a business of about $60,000 annually. John E. Bush, national grand secretary of the Mosaic Templars of America, is reputed to be the wealthiest as well as one of the most public spirited and progressive men in this community among our people.

OLD NEW LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT Will of the Great Anti-slavery Agitator Was Not Properly Drawn—Death Defeated the Good Intentions of Mrs. Douglas—Time For Race Loyalty to Assert Itself. Washington—There have been a number of inquiries, says Ralph W. Tyler of this city, as to the existing mortgage on the old home here of the late Frederick Douglass. Many cannot understand why the home should rest under a mortgage when Mr. Douglass was supposed to have been quite well off at his death. The estate of Mr. Douglass did mount up to quite a sum at his death. A defective will, made defective by an insufficient number of witnesses, caused the property to be distributed according to law rather than according to the will of the testator. The widow of Mr. Douglass desired that the old house, containing a museum of anti-slavery and Douglass relics, the furniture, books, manuscripts and curios of the great orator, publicist and anti-slavery leader, should be bequeathed to the race as a memorial to her husband. To do this it was necessary for her to buy in the home from the other heirs that she might have a clear title to it. This she did, giving $15,000 for the old homestead on Cedar hill. In order to make the purchase, however, it was necessary for her to borrow money with which to purchase the equity of the other heirs. She died before she could pay off that mortgage. In her last will and testament she bequeathed the home, with all its rich and priceless possessions, to the race Mr. Douglass had fearlessly championed and served. She might have bequeathed it to her own relatives, but she choose to will it to the THE DOUGLASS HOMESTead. race with which her husband was identified. This tells how that mortgage happened to be placed on the old home of the great leader. By act of congress a board of trustees was created to have charge of the home, but it came to these congressional provided administrators with a mortgage and without funds to even keep up repairs, the result being that the once handsome home, the once fine old estate, is rapidly passing to decay and the mortgage is pressing for payment. Several attempts have been made to arouse sufficient interest on the part of the race to pay off this mortgage and put the home in proper repair in order first to save the home to the race and to preserve the historical relics, etc., it contains, but not sufficient has been contributed to even keep up the interest on the debt. It is figured that if it $15,000 is raised by the race it will be sufficient to pay off the mortgage and restore the building and estate to its former beauty and make of the home a historical and memorial site to be visited by thousands each year, just as the old home of George Washington at Mount Vernon is maintained as a historical retreat. There are fifteen acres in the Douglass estate, and it occupies the most beautiful point in all Washington, overlooking the Potomac, as it does, and being within ten minutes' ride of the White House or the halls of congress. But unless the race responds to the last appeal, and responds quickly, the old home may be lost. By the terms of the will it can be no other than a memorial to Mr. Douglass, free to the public, and consequently has no earning power. When it ceases to be that—in case the mortgage should be foreclosed—the old Douglass homestead will pass from the race. As the legal owners of this estate it is the duty of the race—every man, woman, child, church or organization, fraternal or otherwise—to respond with contributions to pay off this debt, and this response should come quickly. Indian Citizenship Day at Hampton. The twenty-seventh annual celebration of Indian citizenship day was observed by the Indian students assisted by the colored students at Hampton institute on Sunday, Feb. 8. The program consisted of several addresses by the Indians, interspersed with music. A chorus of Indian girls sang "From the Land of the Sky Blue Water" and "The White Dawn is Stealing." Mr. Arthur C. Parker was the orator of the day. District Supreme Court Sustains Virginia Knights of Pythias. Mr. Justice Gould announced that the question of the constitutionality of the tax levy by the supreme lodge upon the members of the several grand jurisdictions would be finally decided by the court. This will result in a complete review of the case by competent authority and the constitutionality of the enactment of the new constitution at Baltimore, Md., will also be settled. John Mitchell, Jr., grand chancellor of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia; Thomas M. Crump, G. K. of R. and S., and R. C. Mitchell were present during the deliberations. The grand lodge was represented by Hon. Clarence R. Wilson, Paul E. Lesch, Esq., and James F. Minor, the latter making the argument, and the supreme lodge by Mr. James A. Cobb and Henry E. Davis, Esq., the latter making the argument. The full text of the injunction is as follows: IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Holding an Equity Court.

SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN JUSTICE Pastor of First Unitarian Church In Detroit Gives His Views on the Problem of Manhood Rights as It Relates to Afro-Americans—True Meaning of Emancipation. By FRANCIS H. WARREN. Detroit, Mich.-My interest was much aroused when I read the announcement in the daily press of this city that the Rev. Dr. Eugene Rodman Shippen, pastor of the First Unitarian church, Woodward avenue and Edmund place, would preach a sermon on "The Negro, Our Brother," as a prelude to the general celebration of Lincoln's birthday, and I at once determined to hear that sermon. I was first to arrive at the church. A good sized congregation turned out to listen to this learned divine talk upon this burning subject just one month after the now famous Dr. Joel E. Spingarn addressed a mass meeting of 1,500 people at the Second Baptist church. Shows Oneness of the Human Family. Dr. Shippen took for his text the twenty-sixth verse of the seventeenth chapter of Acts. "He hath made of one blood all nations of men." He in part said: The anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln brings to our attention the so called race problem. Lincoln wrestled with the problem that our attention is called to today. Emancipation in his time was a difficult problem, and he pleased with his own person and labor, freedom to go and come and move about. Emancipation today means a different freedom. It means the freedom of the Negro to enjoy all the civil rights and to be admitted to the law. There has been a reaction toward the prejudice, and race prejudice is now found north as well as south. The north can no longer point its finger of shame at the south. A young woman possessing a trace of Negro blood was employed in a large Detroit factory, and she was delivering satisfactory service, before it was learned that she possessed Negro blood, when she was immediately discharged. I shall not make further comment on the act, but the problem has become national in its scope. The Negro has been politically discharged, and he said that some of them will sell their votes for a drink of liquor, but this is not a Negro peculiarity. There are hundreds of white men who will do the same thing. If there is to be discrimination in permitting people to vote it should be a problem, and it should be a question or other like qualification, but not upon race or color in this democratic nation. Country Should Be Rulled by the People Whites don't want to be ruled by the blacks. Neither do the blacks want to be ruled by the whites. We want neither white nor black to rule. We want a rule of all the people, as Lineinburg advocated in his great speech at Getyepsburg. Industri- lism is the greatest objection. Even if he has the highest traces of Negro blood he meets with ostracism and exclusion from many fields of employment. Many employers would employ Negroes, but their workmen interpose serious objections to working with their colored brethren, which is a grave wrong against humanity. In the face of such conditions it is no wonder that so many Negroes find their way to criminal lives. No colored man may now go through West Point or Annapolis notwithstanding there is no law to prevent. it is simply that the Negroes have nine great colleges north of Mason and Dixon's line, where life is made miserable for Negro students. The refined and educated Negro meets with many difficulties when travel- ing, and he is often denied the courtesies and accommodations due refined peo- ple, a white man, though he be inferior, is often welcome and accorded every courtesy. Negroes have souls as well as we. How any one can wilfully injure one with such impunity is simply inconceivable. I am not concerned with the question of social equality. That takes care of itself. Every man has the absolute and inherent right to select his own associates, and to choose his own employer, in discussion. Due to the agitation of enemies of the race, for the first time discrimination is being practiced against Negroes in the governmental departments. I know from personal experience there has been no friction between the white and colored employees at the nation's capital, who have worked side by side for more than a generation. A prison prisoner, a fair air chair, is treated to the Negroes before his election, and those of us who admire him most expect the most from him and a faithful performance of his promise. Make Lincoln's Ideals Effective. The failure to give the Negro civil justice was nothing to the failure to give him legal justice. The defender of lynching is the defender of murder. The Negro suffer most from the failure to what the great God of nature has made him. They are now preparing to build a great $2,000,000 monument to Lincoln. This will be erected of marble and cement, but the truest and most lasting memory of the greatest of Americans would be to No.25 carry into effect the simple ideals which be advocated, while on earth. The Negro has proved his fitness for American citizenship, has proved his bravery and heroism by receiving seventeen Carnegie prizes for heroism during the past year. He owns a billion dollars in property. He has dispelled ignorance and is now 60 per cent literate, and he is altogether as as any other class of our nation. The city of love is bound sooner or later to prevail. Lincoln's religion was love of God, love of man. We will do well to follow his nobs example in both word and deed. Thus twice within the space of one month have the best of Detroit's white people proved that they are one with us in a righteous desire to wipe out every vestige of race prejudice and supplant the doctrine of hate with the ethics of love and forbearance. THE STRUGGLES OF RACES. Sweeping Injunction Against Unfairness of One Race to Another All races have been subjugated, degraded and enslaved at some time and have had to pass through an ordeal as severe as the one that the blacks have been passing through in this country for the last 300 years and more, says Henry T. Norman in "Thoughts I Met on the Highway." Races are much like vegetables. They grow, bloom, and go to seed, and of the many seeds of many races a new nation springs up. When a nation is once broken and scattered it never comes together again. A nation that once dies never lives again as a nation. Its fragments mingle with other races and help to make new nations. That is just what the blacks are doing in this country today. If all the African blood there is in this country was covered with black skins there would be about 20,000,000 of black people in the United States, whereas now there are only between 7,000,000 or 8,000,000. I can point out forty persons within the limits of the city of Lynn, Mass., that have African blood in them who pass for white. And this was the redeeming quality in slavery, for it is proved by ancient history, both sacred and profane, as well as by everything that is traceable to antiquity, that the blacks were once a great nation. But now they are not a nation and never will be. The only way to raise them up from the heatenish and barbarous state into which they had sunken was to have them pass through the ordeal of slavery. That is just what makes the American nation superior to all other nations. It opens wide its doors, or did at one time, and says to all races, "Come and be one with us; we neither fear nor hate you." The nation that is not willing to receive within its borders all those of other races and nations that are willing to come and give them all the advantages of all its institutions is nothing but a community of tyrants and cowards. There is nothing more ignorant and disgusting than the shoddy saying in this country "that all races had better keep by themselves." Those that preach that heathenism and cowardly doctrine are they who hold prejudice against the blacks. But it does not hurt whatever, for they, though perhaps the largest in numbers, are the weakest portion of the nation. The best people—those who are headlights, pillars of truth, the real salt and power of the earth, God's own mouthpieces—have no prejudice against races. Therefore all that is required of any man, black or white, as qualifications to enter the best society on earth are contempt for pride and all vain things, a soul consecrated to God and a mind given to the contemplation of the fixed principles of truth, for it was want of these qualifications that brought all races into bondage to their own pride and lusts first and then into weakness, ignorance and barbarism. And it is the want of these same qualifications that makes many people degrade themselves with prejudice against the blacks and other races in this country. Scotia Has No Blarney Stone. I have often envied the Scotman his easy, ingratiating manner, writes an Englishman in the Manchester Guardian, his gift of saying the gracious thing, as in this case, reported to me by a lady of the same race who heard the remark made. An old gentleman galled upon a schoolmistress, told her his name and declared that he had not seen her for thirty years. As he pressed her hand and gazed into her face he murmured audibly, "Aye, and a bonnie lassie ye were then; but, ab, what time deael?" Malta Fever. There is no connection between Malta fever and yellow fever. Malta fever is peculiar to the island of Malta, where it has been endemic for an indefinite period. It also is known as "rock," "Mediterranean" and "undulant" fever, and in the vernacular of the natives as "slow," "dust" or "goat" fever. It is believed to come from the milk of goats--St. Louis Times. Strength of an Elephant. It is said that a full grown elephant is strong enough to carry three tons on its back. In this great city of ours, we need more consecrated men and women to throw out the life line to rescue the perishing souls. Rev. T. J. Carter, Pastor Bethesda Baptist Church.

Lawyer Francis Gets Verdict for $2, 999.99 Against The Pullman Co. The case of George T. Williams against The Pullman Company for mallocous prosecution was tried Frid- day, Monday and Tuesday last before a jury in the District Court at St. Paul, resulting in a verdict in favor of Will- iams for $2,999.99 the amount asked for in the suit. The jury was out about 15 minutes. The facts in the case are as follows: Williams was employed by The Pullman Company as sleeping car porter, running between St. Paul and Seattle, and on the night of March 26, 1913 reported for duty at his car at the Union Depot in St. Paul fifteen minutes late. W. C. Williams, the Night Inspector for the Pullman Company ordered Porter Williams off the car. Porter Williams refused to get off and the Inspector called a police officer and had Porter Williams arrested placing a charge of "drunk and disorderly" against him. Williams was confined in jail for three days, secured the services of Attorney W. T. Francis, was tried and acquitted. He was discharged by the Pullman Company, and was unable to secure work in the sleeping car departments of the Great Northern Ry. Co., or the Sco Company, and after exhausting his efforts in that line and failing to secure any employment he directed his attorney W. T. Francis to bring suit against the Pullman Company, and secured the largest verdict ever rendered in this county for malicious prosecution. Attorney Thompson assisted the counsel for plaintiff.

LARGE, AUDIENCE PRESENT. Secretary James E. Mason Meets With Success In Financial Campaign In the Interest of Livingstone College, Bishop Alexander Walters the Chief Speaker at Lincoln Celebration. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—One of the most notable and impressive Lincoln day addresses heard in this section and one which brought forth a high tribute to the major deed of the great emancipator was the Lincoln day oration of Bishop Alexander Walters delivered at the Lincoln celebration at Mother Zlon A. M. E. Zlon church, held in connection with an education rally in the interest of the erection of a new girls' dormitory at Livingstone college. The exercises were noteworthy in that, besides the commemoration of Lincoln's immortal act, it was one of the largest of the series of educational meetings held by the denomination in the campaign to raise $12,500 with which to erect a $50,000 girls' dormitory at Livingstone to replace the one destroyed by fire. The movement was under the auspices of the New York conference of the Zion church, and a large delegation of ministers of that conference were present. Bishop J. S. Caldwell, chairman of the general committee in the raising of the dormitory funds, presided. There were both an afternoon and evening session, and each of the ses P. BISHOP WALZETS. sions was well attended. In the afternoon an educational sermon was preached by Bishop G. L. Blackwell of Philadelphia. At the conclusion of the sermon a report from the ministers of the conference was made, which was continued over to the evening session. The principal session was held in the evening, at which time some of the most prominent of the Zion churchmen, together with well known professional and business men of this city, made strong and stirring addresses on the work of Livingstone college and the progress the race had made since freedom. The address of welcome was made by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown. Mrs. Lella Walters read Lincoln's Gettysburg address, and a solo was given by Miss Mabel Diggs. Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone college, who was scheduled to speak on the pressing needs of the college, sent a telegram of regret. Bishop Caldwell presented Rev. Dr. G. E. Mason, financial secretary of Livingstone college, who spoke of the college and its relation to the A. M. E. Zion church. Dr. Mason told what had been done toward giving inspiration to many of the prominent men and women of the church whom the institution had trained among its students for leadership. The Lincoln day address was delivered by Bishop Alexander Walters, one of the most noted and scholarly churchmen of our race. The address of the bishop was one of the most impressive ever delivered on the occasion of a Lincoln celebration. In opening his address the bishop said that the action of Lincoln in freeing the slaves was justified in the intellectual development of the Negro, as was borne out by the intellectual caliber of hundreds of Negro educators. Lincoln was not born great, if to be born great means to be born in a mansion. surrounded at the start of life with opulence, danced on the knee of indulgence and charmed to sleep by the voice of servants. If this be the measure of greatness, then Lincoln was not born great. But if to be born great is to be ushered into the world with embryonic qualities, elements calculated to unfold into the making of the stature of a complete man, a manly man, a brave God fearing man, a statesman equal to the greatest emergency of a nation, then the little fellow of destiny who made his initial bow to the goddess of light in Hardin county, Ky., Feb. 12, 1809, was born great. TWIN CITY STAR If to achieve greatness is to win the hearts of one's youthful companions, one's associates in professional life and to merit the confidence and genuine love of a nation to the extent of receiving the chiefest honors and to perform the mightiest work of a century, then Abraham Lincoln achieved greatness. While Mr. Lincoln was never a member of any church, he was a student of the Bible, a religious man, a believer in God, his holy word and in Christ, the author of Christianity. He belonged to that large class of men and women who love and trust in God and who love their fellow man and delight to live and do for others. While he was president he wrote the following to the Hon. Joshua Speed: "I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this book upon the reason you can and the balance upon faith and you will live and die a better man." The bishop praised Lincoln as a statesman and lawyer. Back in the thirties this young man, clad in home-spun, was standing in the slave mart of New Orleans watching husbands and wives being separated forever and children being doomed never to again look into the faces of their parents. As the hammer of the auctioneer fell this young flatboatman, with quivering lips, turned to his companions and said, "If ever I get a chance to hit that thing (slavery) I will hit it hard, by the eternal God." In March, 1839, he had placed upon the house journal of Illinois a formal protest against proslavery resolutions which he could get but one member to sign besides himself. Long before he was made president, in a speech at Charleston, Ill., he said, "Yes, we will speak for freedom and against slavery as long as the constitution of the United States guarantees free speech, until everywhere on this wide land the sun shall shine and the rains shall fall and the winds shall blow upon no man who goes forth to unrequited toll." Others who spoke on Lincoln were Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell and Fred R. Moore. At the conclusion of the addresses Bishop Caldwell began the collections for the dormitory fund. During the day over $225 was raised toward the fund. Bishop Caldwell said that since the campaign for funds for Livingstone college started over $20,000 had been raised. CHANCE TO PREPARE FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK. National League on Urban Conditions Offers Two Fellowships. In order to enable promising candidates who wish to make social service a life work to secure good training and practical experience for such work, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, with headquarters at 110 West Fortieth street. New York, has made provision for two fellowships of $35 per month for ten months, covering necessary living expenses in New York city. These fellowships are open to candidates who have declared their definite decision to make their lifework some form of social service and are limited to those who have completed a college course or its equivalent in an institution of good standing. Such work includes secretarialships of industrial betterment organizations, supervision of recreation and playground centers, superintendence and management of benevolent institutions, probation secretarialships and executives in similar lines of social betterment. The fellows in New York city take their courses of study at the New York School of Philanthropy, with privileges of some courses at Columbia university, and get their experience in practical social service activities under the auspices of the National league and in connection with the several agencies of the city. Persons who make application for these fellowships may be required to pass such an examination as will test the general knowledge of the applicants and prepare a review of a book in not more than 1,500 words or to present work of a similar kind previously prepared. A candidate to be eligible must be a citizen of the United States by the 1st of June in the year in which he applies and have passed his twentieth birthday. Alpha Lodge Observes Anniversary. Alpha lodge No. 1881, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, celebrated the forty-fifth anniversary of its founding at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn recently. The religious address to the order was delivered by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the above named church. Past Grand Master Charles H. Vann was master of ceremonies. A brief history of the lodge was read by ex-Deputy Grand Master Edward Henry. There were other addresses made by District Grand Master W. D. Brown, the district grand secretary and Grand Treasurer J. Thomas Johnson. Mr. Charles Waters was the solitary. Give Major Charles Young Justice. The house military affairs committee seems to be somewhat puzzled over the placing of Major Charles Young, who is at present an attache of the United States legation in Monrovia, Liberia. Mr. Young is a graduate of West Point Military academy, and the only Afro-American holding such a distinction. The new bill proposing that all army officers shall serve two years out of six with troops is said to be responsible for the military affairs committee's present attitude. There should be no color line in the United States army. Let the committee assign Major Young according to his fitness and rank. RACE PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY Business League In Louisville Makes Fresh Start. WORK FOR LARGER RESULTS Fine Opportunity Afforded For Advancement, and There Is No Excuse For Any One Being Idle Who Wants Employment—Spirit of Co-operation and Activity on the Increase. By RALPH W. TYLBR. Louisville, Ky.-At one time Louisville was famed for its beautiful colored women and for the generous hospitality dispensed by the colored citizens generally to strangers visiting the Falls City. Beautiful colored women are as plentiful here now and hospitality is dispensed just as lavishly as when this city's fame rested most largely upon these two admirable recommendations. Just now, however, the men of Louisville are occupied with the question, How can we accelerate our business progress? With this in view, the local Negro Business league, which had been more or less inactive, recently reorganized, electing Editor William H. Steward president, and it was the consensus of opinion that the league and the citizens need to become more active if the race is to maintain the pace set by some other cities. In this city work is plentiful for those who seek it. and opportunities A. B. WILLAM H. STEWARD. for establishing new business and the building up of those now established are not surpassed by any city in the country. There are now 50,000 colored people in this city. They form nearly one-third of the total population, own $2,000,000 worth of real estate and have invested in business $250,000. With the money invested in real estate, business, personal property and cash in bank it is estimated that their per capita wealth is $73.85. Some of the lines of business in which our people are engaged are: Grocery stores, ice cream manufactories, insurance, drug stores, transfer and baggage, real estate, moving and packing, printing, fruit and vegetable, carriage repairing, undertaking, coal yards and contracting. There are twelve public schools, with 100 teachers, who are in every way efficient and the equal of the whites. The school buildings are in no way, as a rule, comparable to those afforded whites, and their lack of room also works a hardship. It has been pointed out that a live Negro business league here can not only work to increase the number of business establishments conducted by the race, but can interest itself in an attempt to secure better and more ample school buildings for the colored children. Louisville's best colored people are a splendid set of men and women, and the intelligence and culture to be found among them equal those found in any other community. In many churches owned by our people one finds proof that the religious interests of the race have not been neglected. There are twenty-seven Baptist, seventeen Methodist, two Presbyterian, three Christian, one Congregational, one Episcopal, one Adventist and several missions, which bring the total number of churches up to fifty-nine. That Louisville is a good field for the colored physician is shown by the fact that there are thirty-five of them with from fair to good practice. Twelve lawyers and four dentists are enjoying a fine practice. I learned while here that the future of the race in Louisville along material lines depends largely upon the harmonious and active co-operation of the following men, who are really among Louisville's high types of progressive citizens. They are William H. Stewart, J. B. Cooper, C. H. Bullock, T. F. Parks, Rochelle Smith, S. W. Jordan, A. D. Porter, J. H. Hathaway, A. B. Ridley, A. E. Meyzeek, P. A. Curts. H. E. Hall. W. W. Spradling, Guy W. Smith, T. F. Blue, E. A. Clark, Charles H. Rogers, D. L. Ferguson, W. B. Mathews, David Stewart, William H. Sheppard, W. J. Walls, W. T. Amigle, H. W. Perry, J. S. Colter, H. C. Parish, Dr. E. D. Whedbee, W. A. Brown, E. D. Beck and a few others. MAYOR UPHOLDS THE LAW. Orders Removal of Objectionable Sign Form. Newark (U) Blakehouse Newark, O.-A committee representing the local Afro-American Citizens' Rights league called on Mayor Bigbee of this town recently and requested that a sign in the main entrance of the Orpheum theater reading, "For Caucasians Only," be removed. The mayor suggested that the members of the committee visit the theater, attempt to purchase tickets, and if unsuccessful, to return to his office and he would do the rest. The suggestion was carried out, the tickets were refused and the committee returned to the mayor's office, who immediately telephoned the chief of police to have an officer bring the manager of the theater to his office, which was done. After reading Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio civil rights law to the manager of the playhouse and warning him that any violation of the same on his part would bring him un- PETER H. HARRY C. SMITH. der its penalty he was ordered to remove the sign at once, which he lost no time in doing. The manager of the theater was also ordered to use no discrimination against colored people in seating and charging patrons. The next evening Frank B. Norman received and used his tickets to attend the evening performance. The Ohio civil rights bill was drawn by Harry C. Smith, who was a member of the state legislature for three terms. Mr. Smith is the editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette and one of the best known men of our race in the middle west. The committee was composed of George B. Norman, A. H. Brown, William Burt, Clyde, A. Riggs, James Berry, Harley Fack, William Cunningham, Baker Cunningham, George C. Weaver and C. D. Guy. BROOKLYN'S OLD LANDMARK RECEIVES GENEROUS AID Managers of Home For Aged Colored People Hear Encouraging Reports. At the February meeting of the board of managers of the Home For Aged Colored People in Brooklyn very encouraging reports were made on the efforts of the public to assist in the maintenance of the institution. The various churches and women's clubs render substantial aid to the work of the home from time to time. The institution is one of Brooklyn's old landmarks. At Christmas and other national holidays the home is the objective point of a great many visitors. Among the business transacted at the meeting was a change in the constitution creating the office of assistant treasurer in order to lessen the work of Mrs. William B. Lane, who has for several years served as treasurer and whose recent illness has revealed the fact that she was doing more than ought rightfully be expected of her. Mrs. Charles J. Search has consented to act as assistant treasurer until the annual election in April. A generous gift of a hundred garments was reported from the Flatbush Needlework guild and one of fifty garments from the Brooklyn Needlework guild. The work committee reported the sale of several of the dish towels and rugs made by the old people and asked for colored cotton rugs to be used as material for the rugs. The appeal to the colored people of the city was reported as showing results, and good ones, but still greater efforts are needed to increase the receipts. The Lend a hand club has been organised in the Fleet Street A. M. E. church for the especial purpose of raising money for the home, and the Sons of North Carolina have volunteered to give an entertainment for the cause. This work is being pushed vigorously by Mrs. A. Wiley, secretary, and Mrs. Frank Gilbert, who are the committee in charge of it. The members of the board were especially pleased to hear from Mrs. George H. Stone, chairman of the visiting committee, that an atmosphere of happiness and content prevailed among the old people, helped very largely by the wise administration of the superintendent, Mrs. Frances R. Underhill. New Weekly Paper in Columbus O. Floyd G. Snelson has begun the publication of the Columbus Independent in Columbus. O. The new paper made its appearance the second week in February and has over 400 paid up yearly subscribers.

It is the tendency of modernism to laud the booster to the skies and to relegate the knocker and the kicker to the lowest depths, and yet everything in every department of life that makes life worth living, is the result of righteous knocking and kicking. This great Republic of ours would still be under the rule of Britain if our hard-fisted, big-footed ancestors had not first knocked the British minions on the head and then kicked them out of the country. If they had boosted British rule and British tyranny there would never have been any United States. If the abolitionists of more modern times had boosted all the institutions of the country instead of knocking the hideous Slave God on the jawbone and kicking him in the midriff in season and out of season, while a great majority of the citizens of the land pointed the finger of scorn at them hissed "knockers, knockers," the crack of the slave whip would resound in the land today and the Southern swamps would echo and re-echo with the bay of the blood hounds on the trail of men and women fleeing for life and liberty. The mighty host of blue coats that swept Southward like an angry sea half a century ago was a great, God-ordained knock against a hell-inspired system that was eating out the life of the Nation. There never was a reform, in any line of life, that made the world purer, better and happier but began by knocking at evil conditions, and there never was a reform secured but by kicking the life out of some existent evil. If there is a wrong of any kind existing in a community and a man does not knock that wrong, he is a man only in shape and not in spirit; if an evil exists and he does not kick the evil he is only an imitation of a man. Injustice cannot be wiped out and the wrongs righted by boosting. It requires knocking and kicking; any lump of flesh can boost but it takes a man of nerve and spirit to knock and kick. The true rule of life is to boost everything good and knock and kick everything bad and detrimental to public welfare. So here's to the "knockers and kickers," they are the salt of the earth; they are the ones that stand between the people and abject social, financial and political servitude. —Sauk Center Herald. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. "SQUARE DEAL" FOR NEGRO 18 WANTED Dr. Mathews Says There Is Disposition to Treat Him as Half Man. (St. Paul Friend Press) St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 23.—"There is a disposition to treat the Negro as a half personality, a half man; he must be considered as a personality, for he is unquestionably one of the great factors in this country today," declared Dr. Shaller Mathews, dean of the divinity department of the Chicago university, in an address at the Plymouth Congregational church last night. Dr. Mathews address was under the auspices of the St. Paul branch of the National Society for the Advancement of the Colored Race. He spoke on "Abraham Lincoln and Fifty Years After." Increasing Race Prejudice. "There is a disposition today to violently discriminate against the Negro," said Mr. Mathews. "Race antagonism has developed within the last fifty years, and particularly within the last few years, which is new. This race antagonism is a product of the increasing immigration. There is antagonism between various races, but the feeling against the negro has increased to an unusual extent. "The difficult phase of the present situation, which is approaching a crisis, is that the best element of the Negro race is not in the best position to help the worse elements. They lack education, financial status and influence, and their mental state is not developed highly enough. Give them the education, give them the opportunity to make good, give the Negro the 'square deal' to which he is entitled. Negro Entitled to Square Deal. Negro Enlisted to Square Deal. "When Abraham Lincoln conceived that memorable document which broke the fetters of the Negro, he did not intend that social sense should withhold from the colored man equal justice with other free men. The disposition today is to treat the Negro as half a man. He is a man, a real flesh-and-blood man and he is entitled to the American 'square deal.' See that he receives it." Dr. Mathews commended the work of the St. Paul society which has on its membership list the names of leading business men and educators. Introduced by Governor. On the platform with Dr. Mathews last night was Governor A. O. Eberhart, who introduced the speaker; Dr. George Vincent, president of the State University; Dr. T. Morey, president of Macalester college; Dr. Samuel Kerfoot, president of Hamline university, and Rev. P. P. Womer, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church. Twenty-five members were added to the list of 100 comprising the St. Paul organization last night. Plans are being made by the society to campaign for an educational, political and social "square deal" for the colored people of the city. If necessary attempts will be made to procure legislation and municipal advantages for the race THE GIFTS OF THE GREEKS The politicians and office seekers are again reminded (since last election) that the Negro is a voter and they came to him with outstretched palms and pleasant smiles, telling how they appreciated his support heretofore. If they have done well—it is well; but if not, it is every Negro's duty to frankly refuse to accept any such "salve" from these designers.—We expect little and often get less, but tell a fellow when he is lying, especially if he is a candidate for office, and he will think you a person of intelligence and manliness rather than one of ignorance and subservience. Beware of the Greeks when they bear gifts. Something is going to be "pulled off" if you accept them. J. H. Booker T. Washington, in the "Worlds Work Magazine, New York City, November, 1913- "I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment of crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation for life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. I am trying to get the white people to see that in hundreds of counties in the South it is costing more to punish colored people for crime than it would cost to educate them. I am trying to get all to see that ignorance, poverty, and weakness invite and encourage the stronger race to act unjustly toward the weak, and that so long as this condition remains, the young white men of the South will have a fearful handicap in the battle of life." Should Use Capital "N" Please use the capital "N" in Negro. Our exchanges are careful to give distinction to the Indian, Chinaman, and all other races, but mention the Negro with a small "n."

N. Cox, is the cashier and largest stockholder in the bank, and the man most larvely responsible for its success.

Agitation for an up-to-date colored grocery store in Washington, D. C., is being made by colored business men. Although Washington has 127,000 colored population, and this population averages more than $12,000 spent daily by colored people for groceries alone, there is not a single up-to-date grocery store in the city. The co-operative spirit is growing in Washington, and the colored citizens there are beginning to realize that colored business enterprises mean splendid returns in the way of increased opportunities for young colored men and women as clerks, bookkeepers, etc. A first-class, colored grocery store in Washington will be a financial success.
