and the governing board the actual au-
thOrity. He is of the opinion that the
president should be ex-officio, the head
OF this board, as the responsibility lies
primarily in the chief executive Mr.
Menard is one of the founders of the
club. Some changes are expected in
the governing board, and between now.
and May there is likely to be some Yig-
orous, but friendly, ''log-rolling," for
vantage ground between the factions"
The fellows are all experienced poll
tlcians, and each is closely watching the
sleeve of his neighbor This may be all
idle gossip, but it is the business of the
Man-On-the-Corner to take note of
what he sees and hears, and as you
know, dear reader, there is nothing half
so delightful as meddling in other peo-
pies affairs.
Following up our discussion of last
week upon the necessity for a Negro
Business League here we are led to
another interesting train of thought by
the very timely and practical address of
Dr I. w. Chllds, delivered off-hand a
few Sundays ago at the Second Baptist
Lyceum. Dr. Childs is an ardent race
man, and is everything but a dreamer.
He is up-to-date, wide-awake and has
won high place in the medical world
by the legitimate method of conscien-
uous work He practices what he
breaches and expects no man to do for
him what he would not do for others
lie has heard numerous complaints from
colored men in business that they are
not patronized by the race-that Ne
groes pass by colored groceries, shoe
stores. drug stores and the like, to buy
The colored American., 1902-03-22

of a German, Irishman or Jew. The
Doctor admits that much of the COM
plaint is lust and that our lack OF CO.
operation is to be deplOred; but, he
urges us to face the truth and see II
the case hasn't two sides Business
cannot be run on sentiment. The public
is kind when it is able, but the head OF
a family must buy where he can buy to
the best advantage-when he can get
the most and the best for the least
money. If the Irishman can sell sweet
breakfast bacon at l., cents pound, the
black merchant cannot sell an inferior
mass of grease and bone for I0 cents.
If the German or Jew can ft you with
a nice easy pair of shoes for $500, you
will not pay $500 to a Negro for pair
that will burn your feet and raise corns.
Whether YOU deal with doctor, lawyer,
dressmaker or what not, you want
proper service, and before a colored per
son can make loud complaint let him
see that he gives value received on par
with his white competitor. The Negro
who asks for trade must take his
chances in the open market, other things
being equal and showing no prejudice
against white merchantS-fOr prejudice
either way reacts in time-cOlOred peO-
pie should go out of their way to pat
ronize our own class, because we need
it most. Again, colOred merchants and
business factors should bid for white
trade as we'll by offering the freshest
products at the most moderate prices.
We shall win when we live up to the
same standards of business upon which
the white American has made himself
the master of the commercial world.
To agitate, to instruct, to inspire our
tradesmen along these lines is a work
that is sorely needed and a strong busi-
ness league is the force that must do it.
Colored merchants must improve their
stock and make their service more eff
cient They must learn to buy to ad-
vantage in order to sell to advantage.
The strength of people is in their COM
mercial power. DR.. Childs' address
ought to bear fruit He talked wisely
and well. Let it add to the sentiment
for Negro Business League.

There's a chic among ye takin' NJ tes,'

The Man-on-the-C Corner keeps we'll
inside the curb when he sees a we'll
known automobile sailing merrily in his
direction. 1t is manned by a physician
whose care in difficult operations is un-
excelled and whose treatment of a pa
tient is as gentle as a lamb, but when a
medico's practice grows SO large and
the demand for his personal presence
is so insistent, the wisest thing for the
Man Corner and all others to do,
when they see Dr. John R. Francis
heave into sight, is to get out of the
way. He is the only colored physician
using this mode of locomotion. DR..
Francis is indeed busy man, and his
general practice, covering much terri

that a presidential bee is buzzing in
their respective bonnets, but neither has
declined to rest in the hands of his
friends" The position may be useful
to a president who is desirous of form
ulating public sentiment along lines in
which he is particularly interested. Who
knows but that Mr. Houston may not

should not Mr. Pelham, one of our pre-
mier journalists, do good work for
the race-and incidentally for himself
by convincing the political leaders that
the press of the country would act very
kindly toward them in the coming Con-
gressional fight, if a snug section chief

hours of the average individual. In
addition to this, however, he conducts
at 2II2 Pennsylvania avenue, a cOmmo-
diOuS Sanitarium, where are found every
convenience and appliance necessary to
the treatment of any known disease.
The Offices are finely furnished, the op-
Grating rooms are deliberately equipped
with modern tables, chairs, and instru-
ments and the bed chambers are light,
airy and cheerfully arranged. Patients
are boarded and kept as long as may be
eXpedient and the nurses are we'll
trained in their duties. The Doctor is
public-spirited to the last degree, and
is quick to see the shortest route to the
accomplishment of any object of racial
benefit His executive ability was well
demonstrated during his stay at Freed
mems Hospital, during a large part of
which time he was in full charge. Our
churches, schools, business departments
and social circles all feel the uplifting;
influence of DR.. John R. Francis and
his splendid family.

1t seems that the white women of the
country vie with their Afro-American
sisters in ho1foring Mrs Mary Church
Terrell. 1t is difficult for the Man-on-
the-COrner to accurately unravel the
Skein of national and subordinate cOun-
cils through which the fair sex bend
their energies to the uplft of humanity
but 1t may be. interesting to know that
at the recent meeting of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association, at the
First Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Ter
rell had the unusual distinction of rep
reSentlng the Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton of Washington (white), composed
OF four sub-OrganizatiOns of noted mem
berShips The broad and liberal senti-
ment of these clubs is shown by the fact
that on secret straw vote to quietly
develop preferences Mrs Terrell was
chosen delegate on the first ballot. 1t
is no small honor to be a life member
of the National American Woman's Suf-
frage Association, but at the last ses-
sion Mrs. Terrell was enrolled as such
upon motion of Mrs. E A Russell. a
wealthy white lady of MINNEAPOLIS.
Mimi The fee is $50 which Mrs.
Russell promptly paid out of her own
pocket. When our worthy women are
SO generously treated by the cultured
and really representative people of the
land. 1t IS an encouragement for the en-
tire race TO work for self-improvement
and do you know, we are almost being
brought to a point where we can svrn-
pathize with that poor, benighted class
OF white folks who are too mentally
weak to free themselves from the de-
grading shactles of color prejudice.

has almost fully recovered.
J. w. Settle has sold house and two
lots to I. Dittemore for consideration
of $500. The house was built by John
Wheatley several years ago, while

has given him the idea that he is the
