The Negro Business League which
met in Boston last week was a success
in every particular. The delegates
were representative men and can e
from every part of the country. They
all had something to say and they told
that something in their own way. The
story of their struggles and success
was interesting indeed. Every dele
gate paid his way, paid his bills and
there was no baby talk. The success
of the meeting places Booker T.
Washington a few notches higher in
the esteem of the people. He is indeed
the ''Wizzard," the Warwick and the
Douglass of his people.

The BOSTON BUSINESS LEAGUE.

The first meeting of the National
Negro Business League was held in
Boston last week. Its sessions lasted
three days, but no previous meeting of
Afro-Americans has accomplished so
much for the race. It was all business
as its name indicates from start to fin
ish. 1t met for a purpose-it served
it and adjourned. There were no
delays and entanglements nor nonsense.
The program had been arranged, the
speakers assigned and at the initial
meeting, MIR. Washington in his own
inimitable way, stated clearly and fully
the objects and purposes of the meet
ing, The personel of the delegates
attracted attention. The politician, the
calamity howler and walking delegates
were CONSPICUOUS by their absence
These were new men come from ''the
land of Egypt" the western Eldora
dos and the Atlantic coast states, to
tell the story of their struggles and
progress. Their papers read like the
tale Of Alladiu. They had heard Of
the new Moses. and they had come to
worship him and to obtain his counsel.
They had without previous training,
and many of them with little or no
money, built up thriving businesses,
had made money and had saved it.
They were conducting big concerns
and were giving employment to many
of the race. Their reports made
splendid showing, and as speaker ex-
pressed it, "The American people will
not long deny people of this quality
any fit reward of their success.
Mr.. Washington very aptly said

In the multitude of council there is

The HiNDsIIHTeONEss OF THE NATIONAL COM.
MiTTEE.

The National Committee or rather
some of the members of that Committee
are reasonably certain that the Negro
newspaI ers have no value as vote
makers In Presidential or State cam
paign, and hence have very skillfully
shifted the responsibility of using these
mediums for reaching the colored vot'
ers, upon the shoulders of the Republi
can Central Committees of the various
States TO treat with whom, entails the
expenditure of much valuable time
and the Use of yards of red tape.
These excellent gentlemen do not prop
erly appreciate the value of Negro
journals or know the extent of their
influence in latter day politics. This
is very unfortunate for the National
Committee and the Republican party
which is just now making a supreme
effort to dispel the apathy existent
among white republicans as though
whi e republican votes alone decided
results. If the National Committee
does not make some provision tor the
Negro press, at least this palt of it
will not undertake to answer for the
ct nsequences,
Our journals are as much entitled to
receive substantial encouragement for
their patriotic devotion to the party
and the candidates as the backwoo is
weeklies published by white men, and
some of us can i'll afford though we are
republicans to the backbone, to pay
printers and office expenses and run
columns of campaign literature for the
mere love of the thing, We want to

dailies to whom the committee gives bv
checks and the white weeklies who get
comfortable checks for their disinter.
