Mr. WASHINGTON STICKS TO HIS Tsxr.

Booker I. Washington, a few days
ago, addressed league of republican
clubs in the city of Anderson, Indiana.
1t goes without saying that he received
an ovation A great audience, made
up of the leading white and cOlored
citizens from all over the Hoosier
State, gave his argument the most stu
dious attention The dailies teemed
with favorable editorial and news
comment.
Some of Mr.. Washington's fearful
friends however, got out a searehlighs
and discovered a mares nest"-cry-
ing out in wild alarm, that the Tuske-
gee wizard" had departed from his
text and had 'gone into partisan poll
tics" We yield to none in the qualify
of our friendship for Mr. Washington,
and while laying no claim to a special
guardianship of his conduct, we would
be quick to sound a wavering note if
we felt convinced he had made or was
about to make a mistake. But, we do
not share the alarm of one or two of
our esteemed contemporaries in this
particular instance There is no occa-
sion for apology nor explanation for
Mr.. Washington's appearance in a
business capacity before an audience of
any character in this land, for he is
the property of all the people, and the
cause he SO capably represents, appeals
to tie generous impulses of human
kind.
Though speaking to a republican
assembly there was nothing in his re-
marks that savored of partisan politics.
There was no urgency of candle ates
nor distinctively partisan platforms.
He spoke as he always does, in his
inimitable and striking way, on the
progress of the Negro, his achievements
and his limitations. He pointed cut
our needs and suggested practical edu
cation and wider opportunities as the

Why DON'T rou GET BUSINESS OF YOUR ows7

A race to command attention In the
money market, should have a large
admixture OF business meu. 1t must
have a prosperous employing class;
with brains, courage and enterprise.
The inexorable law of commerce and
trade is that the fittest survive-the
incompetent or unthrifty must do ac-
cording TO the will of those who hold
the power, While capital and labor
are allies, by every natural law, they
are seldom equal shsrers in the re-
wards which accrue from their mutual
efforts. Capital is king. Labor is the
subject-sometimes the slave. The
wage-earner loses by cuts and arrear-
ages when the employer loses, but he
seldom gets more than his meagre sti-
pend when the firm "strikes 1t rich, I"
so to speak. The employer makes a
profit on the service rendered by each
hand engaged, and bis emoluments for
time and sagacity invested, will equal
the margin realized on each man, mul.
tiplied by the number of men-tor it is
not to be assumed that more hands
will be employed then are absolutely
necessary to the conduct of the busi-
ness run at the highest pressure On
each individual. Thui, the manager
may earn 800 where the wage.earner
makes $40, and, furthermore, enjoy
the proud American privilege of being
"boss"
The moral to this is not to be
learned in spirit of envy or jealousy
OF the more fortunate or more industri-
Gus. The point to be impressed upon
the working young NAH OF intelligence
and capacity, is to save something out
OF the little you earn, with the deter
mination TO go into business for your
self. Practice self denial, live within
your means and acquire sufficient cap.
ital TO join the employing class and be,
master of yourself. You might as vel

earn the s100 as the C, ntract II, as to
accept the SO and do practically all
the work. 1t is the business man and
the employer that makes the money.
So, young eolored man, save and serve
today that you may rule tomorrow
Only in this way, can the race become
a factor in the commercial activities of
the world about us.

that more fuss is forthcoming if the
friends of DR.. Smith do not subside at
once and for good.
Now, to make long story short,
Brother Murphy is on the wrong track.
He is after the wrong man shooting
in the dark, as it were. If he hopes to
succeed Dr. Smith, he can only do it
with the aid of Smiths friends those
who seek his elevation to the BishoDric.
He should warm up to them, instead
of turning the cold shoulder or engag-

The newly elected town council,
with the exception ofAlderman Moore,
who was absent, was installed last
Thursday evening. Intendant Carroll
administered the oath to Mayor Willis,
and Mayor Willis, in turn, to the al
dermen. After the installation, Alder
man McNeel, in behalf of the town,
moved a vote of thanks to the retiring
intendant and wardens for the faithful,
efficient and intelligent manner in
which they had discharged their du-
ties. The vote was carried. Intend
ant Carroll thanked the council for its
kind expression, and said, in effect, that
the old council had made mistakes !;
but that it had done the best it could.
He hoped that the way of the new
council would be smooth, and felt as
sured that all of its acts would be
prompted by sincere desire to pro-
mote the welfare of the community.
Mayor Willis took occasion to say
that 80 far as he was concerned, he
was inexperienced in the duties OF
town government ; he could only act
as he might consider best with the
best lights obtainable. There was
much to be learned and he would al
ways be found willing to learn. He
felt sssured, however, that with such
cooperation as he could expect from
his colleagues and the citizens who
have the welfare of the town at heart,
there would be no occasion for serious
mistakes. Mr.. G.. II. O'Leary was
unanimously elected senior alderman,
to act as mayor during the absence of
the latter, and after an informal dis
cussion of matters generally, the meet
ing adjourned. While the meeting
was in progress Policeman Rose
brought into the council chamber five
jugs of blind tiger liquor that had been
captured few minutes before as the
result of trap that had been laid by
he and Chief Love during the after
noon.
