1t seems that the question Of ''Ne

editorial last week we claimed that the
race had II many Ieaders-many who had
earned the tile by capacity and meri-
torious service, and were recognized by
q loyal following in numerous states
and localities. While no one man can
lead IN everything, the premiers in the
several csllings-the ministry, edu-
cation, p lltics, journalism, the profess
sions, business, industry, etc should
be brought forward from time to time
for examination. Their scope and pos
sibIIities should be measured. Some

lack of time, indifference or lack Of
faith, do not do their full duty in sus-

though financially sb'e to do So Others
would help If they knew boz. val
ued exchange has devised three ways Of
helping and all of the methods coincide
so thoroughly with our views that We
reproduce the article for the benefit of
the readers of The Colored American.
Says this experienced publisher:
"rruly, the Afro-American news-
paper hes hard road 10 travel.
Many are born into the world, drag
along for a short time. and then die be
cause OF non-support.
The men who started them meant
veil, and designed to do right. They
went forward to their work with the
full expectation OF receiving the gener-
GUS support of their own race at last.
The papers were subscribed for, AID
duly read, but not paid for, nor support
ed In the other two ways which We shall
mention Now here Is the rule, and II
followed will be sure to bring success:
First, Subscribe to, and pay prompt
Iy. This wi l enable the the editor to
set his paper out promptly and havs 1t
10 your homes on time. Secondly, Read
your own paper and don'l lend 1t to
your neighbor. rather insisting that he
send in his subscription and get it for
himself.
There are people In every community
who are well informed as to what is &C.
ng on In the country, and yet never
spend dollar for a paper; they simply
depend upon their neighbors for the
news. They often drop In to borrow the
paper before ir is read by the Rner.
The man who depends upon his
nelghbor for b s news takes just that
much advantage Of the publisher, for
he takes what he DOES not pay for, and
che man who lends his paper is equally
gull y.
Thirdly, Before buying clothing,
shoes, bread, provisions, coal, wood and
ali things needed in the family, let him
take up his paper and exsminine the
advertisements, ana those business
houses which advertise in your own
race papers are the ones whom we
ought to support as far as we possibly
can. By sc dOiDg, we help our strug-
CLING editor in more ways than one.
The advertiser is quick to see that
his investment has not been thrown
away and viii be ready to accommodate
the editor in every way Tossibls Thus,
We have given you the three rules ana

necca Temples Largest Class

Two hundred and thirty four
novices trod the burning sands,
assembled feet foremost the tall palms
of the desert, danced more or less
gracefully to the wall of the how
ling Dervish and performed other
stunts ELECTRICAL and otherwise, at
the monthly meeting of Mecca Shrine,
held on Wednesday night in Mad
ison Square Garden. This is the
largest class ever initiated in Mecca
or any other temple at one time.
Over three hundred visiting Shriners
were presented with "Heijah badges"
afterwards joining with the regular
members at a snmptuous banquet
served later in the evening. Among
the candidates from Morristown who
"got all that was coming to them
and some say more were Albert
Unbehaum, Fred Morrison, and
from Dover E. W. Bennett, and J. B.
Murray. The local Shriners who
we're present were Messrs. o. N.
Bowen, Edward Becker, Charles F.
Axtell. J. Bonsall Ayres, from Dover

Woods,

Probably the finest collection of large
game ever killed by party of Morris
town hunters in Maine, was on exhibit

icle several weeks ago comprised Messrs

res, Leon and Harold Freeman.
A moose said by many of the guides.
to be the largest shot in the Maize woods
this season, fell before Mr.. Muchmore's
80 &c Winchester. He was an immense
big fellow, weighing / 100 pounds, with
antlers spreading over four feet.
Augustus Ayres also killed moose
which was somewhat smaller, but never
theless fine animal.
A black bear weighing close to four
hundred pounds fell under the uuerring
aim of Mr.. Mcclellan. and a smaller one
is credited to the Workmanship of H.
A VanGilder.
the remainder of the party secured a
deer or two apiece. The total bag of
game killed was nine deer. two bears,
and two moose. Leon and Harold Free
man are still at the camp in anticipation

THANKSGIVING PROCLAIMED.
President DesiGnates Nov. Fl as Day
For Public Rejoicing.

Washington, Oct. 20. President
Roosevelt has issued proclamation
designating Thursday, Nov 81, as a
day of thanksgiving. The proclama-
ton is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of our
people it falls upon the president at this
season to appoint day of festival and
thanksgiving to God.
over century and quarter has passed
since this country took its place among
the nations of the EARTH and during that
time we have had, on the whole, more to
be thankful for than has fallen to the lot
of any other people. Generation after
generation has grown to manhood and
passed away. Each has had to bear it's
peculiar burdens, each to face it's special
crises, and each has known years of grim
trial, when the country was menaced by
malice, domestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon 1t in
drought flood or pestilence, when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul it
paid the penalty of folly and a froward
heart.
Nevertheless decade by decade we have
struggled onward and upward. We now
abundantly enjoy material well being and
under the favor of the Most High we are
striving earnestly to achieve moral and
spiritual uplifting. The year that has
just closed has been one of peace and of
overlooking plenty. Rarely has any peo-
pie enjoyed greater prosperity than we
are now enjoying. For this we render
heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver
of Good. and we seek to praise him not
by words only, but by deeds by the way
in which we do our duty to ourselves and
to our fellow men,
Now therefore, 1, Theodore Roosevelt.
president of the United States, do hereby
designate as a day of general thanksgiv-
ing Thursday, the 9th of the coming No
yember and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from their
ordinary occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for the mani
fold blessings of the past year. In wit
ness whereof l have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed
