The Negro Leader Talks Sensibly to
the Business League Meeting.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The second annual
session of the National Negro Business
League opened in this city to-day and
will continue until Friday. The league
was organized in Boston a year a ago,
largely through the efforts of Booker
T. Washington, who is the president
of the organization. During the year
a number of local leagues have been
formed throughout the country. Its
object is to bring together for counsel
negro men and women who are engag-
ed iu some business or industry and to
encourage the establishment of new
enterprises. Delegates are present form
over thirty states. President Wash
ington in his opening address, said in
part:
"As a race we must learn more and
more that the opinion of the world re-
garding us is not much Influenced by
what we may say of ourselves, or by
what others say of us, but 1t Is per-
manently influenced by actual, tangi-
BILE, visible results. The object lesson
of one honest negro succeeding mag
nificently in each community in some
business or industry, is worth hun
bred abstract speeches on securing OPP
portunity for the race.
I'm the South, as in most parts OF
the world, the negro who does some
thing and possesses something is re-
spected by both races. Usefulness in
the community where we live will con-
stitute our most lasting and potent
protection.
1--WE want to learn the lesson of
small things and small beginnings. We
must not feel ourselves above the most
humble occupation or the simple,
humble beginning. II our vision is
clear, our will strong we will use the
very obstacles that often seem to beset
up as stepping stones to higher and
more useful life"
Addresses were also made by Giles
B. jackson and w. II. Taylor of Rich
mond: J. A Wilson of Kansas City,
and Theodore w. Jones of Chicago.
The delegates, through the speakers.
took up specific and practical phases
of business in the evening, and the ses-
sion was well attended. Albert A. M.
Smith read a paper on the Negro S
Womans Business Club, showing what
had been accomplished in Chicago by
the colored women.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 21.-The DEM
ocrats of Iowa, here to-day, nominated

at Kansas City, with the addition of
plank on state issues, demanding re-
form in taxation laws, the repeal of
the mulct liquor law, and the enact
ment of local option license law and
several other matters. The chief con-
test in the convention was on the

gle began in the district caucus held

port agreed with the majority report,

the Kansas City platform. The second
minority differed from each of the 9TH
ers in its preamble only, which set

IN this campaign. The first minority
report, reaffirming the Kansas City
platform, was adopted on the call of
me roll of counties. amid much con-
fusion, by vote of 6691k to 550A.

Districts Will Grant Conference.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 21.-President
J. Howe of the United Mine Workers
of District No. 10 has recognized the
right of operators of the Jellico and
Coal creek districts for seperate con-
ference with their miners, and has set

miners was to fix scale for the en-
tire district, comprising sixty five
mines. The miners want an clght-hour
day and an advance in wages. .Tellico
operators will fight both demands. Coal
creek operators are expected to huld
out for a conference in which the wage
scale OF their own district shall alone
be considered

Pope Condemns French Legislation.
Defends the apple of the
Church's Eye

The pope has sent a letter to the supe.
riors and generals of the religious orders
and institutions, condemning the French
exceptional legislation against the congre-
cations.
The letter says his holiness is much
afflicted by the gravity OF the offences re-
Gently committed by some nations against
the religious orders and institutions The
church has thus not only been deeply inju.
red in its fights, but its power of action has
been impaired. He who touches the priests
or monks touches the apple of the church's
eye.
The Pope severely reproves the recent
enactement of these laws by a country to.
ward which the Pope has exhibited particu-
lar solicitude, and his holiness desires to
comfort these orders and institutions that
are suffering from the hatred OF others toward
the church. He urges them to redouble
9heir ardor, faith, prayer and good word, to
initiate the examples of the beloved found
ers Of their orders and to repeat with Christ
the sublime words, "Father, forgive them"
The letter concludes: "Console yonr.
selves in God. The Pope and the whole
Catholic world are with you"
