The BUSINESS LEAGUE ANO The LESSON IT

EEAGUESa
No organization has ever been
formed by the colored people of the
country that had 80 much promise In it
for good as the National Negro Busi-
ness League of which Prof. Booker T.
Washington is the founder and presi-
dent. His League is holding its Sec-
ond Annual Meeting in the great city
of Chicago this week, and its sessions
will be attended by the strongest men
the race has ever produced, the men
who have the courage and the brains
to establish and maintain for them
selves independent business enterprises
Those who will meet In Chicago and
tell their experiences, in a simple
straightforward, business like way, are
the men who have laid the real found
alton upon which the Negro race IN
America must build It's temple of sue
cess. It is the way that all other peo'
pie have established themselves firmly
IN the werld and it must be the Negroes
way. Years and years ago, the great
countries of Europe starved out the
Jew who went into learned professions
for livelihood ; they gave him no op
portunity to make his living as a hire
ling. so they drove him into trade and
it is here that he has won his greatest
SUCCESS, In the commercial world the
Hebrew has no master. He is king,
Maybe by and through the Business
League, that wonderfully resOurceful
and taEsighted man, Booker Z. Wash
ington, has started bis race on the road
to a similar eminence and prestige in
the business world. Who knows?
