the bankers. Races are like individ-
uals-they recognize others in proper
ton to what they represent. In our
city the Negro bankers are not known
in the business world by their color,
but by what they represent Why
should it be otherwise? To my mind,
no institution is better prepared to
inspire confidence and build up a peo-
pie more than banking institutions.
Men are disposed to consider as sub
stantial leaders in communities those
who have been successful as business
men.
''It often happens that in the trans
ferring of real estate a man needs
few hundred dollars for a few days,
say thirty, sixty, or ninety days Men
other than bankers seldom keep on
hand such small sums to be lent out
on quick notice. In this particular
there is nothing so handy as the bank
| ing institution. They are potent fac
tors in the closing out of such deals.
Il needed, a few days ago, hun
dred dollars to close out a deal worth
to me $4,000; none of my friends had
on hand at that moment the required
sum. Had it not been for the bank,
which came to my relief, $4,000 worth
| of real estate would have passed to
the hands of other parties of another
race.

business of such institutions to lend
money in small Or large sums to re-

The Banking Business and the Ne

I" The Banking Business Among the
meeting last night, which was attend
ed by upward of 1000 people The
main address was delivered on the
subject by DR.. j. NJ Conner, of Lit
tie Rock, who is prominently men
toned as one of the Bishops of his
church. 'NaShViIle Banner, Aug. %,
l19O3.
DR.. Conner said:
Mr. President and Members of the
National Business Mems League:-
There are opportunities offered by the
banking system that are absolutely
essential to the growth and prosperity
of any race or people that cannot be
substituted or duplicated by any other
institution. The financial and bust
ness world depends almost wholly
upon banking institutions for their
support in the business world. This
system gives tone to and lifts UP any
people in communities where these in
lstitutions exist
Banking institutions bring into
close relation the best men of the
races, regardless of color or previous
conditions. 1t is but natural that what
cannot be accomplished by one indi-
vidual single-handed and alone can be
accomplished by the organized efforts
of many individuals
''The men who own, control and han
die the money of the country are the
men to whom others must look as their
guides and cOunsellors, whether they
be white or black. Strictly speaking,
in the financial world there is no such
thing as discrimination 1t is in this
field, and this field alone, so far as the
Negro is concerned, that equality ex-
fists.
I'm Little Rock, where 1 live, as
President of the State Business Mems
League, a fiourishing institution; as
manager of the Negro department of
the Worlds Fair exhibit of Arkansas;
interested in the Capital City Savings
Bank, an institution OF which the Hon.
NJ. w. Gibbs is president and Hon
J. E. Bush vice-president, whose checks
are good for $4,000; at any bank in
the city, 1 have an excellent opportu-
nifty of knowing and seeing the advan-
tages that come to our race by the
banking institutions
"Over and above those who are not
in the banking business there is a COM
parison. A bank in a community rep
resents in a tangible way the bona
fide interest of the community 1t
marks the taking of the highest and
last degree in the business world, and
by this all men know that we are a
representative citizen.

way and without bias. 1t may be stat
ed here, that nearly $4,000 was in
yoIyed in the transaction. The cases
were tried and won and the claims set
tied with neatness and dispatch. Too
much credit cannot be given to these
young men for the splendid abilities
and legal acumen shown in handling
these cases. They are both we'll known
in this city, where they have practiced
law successfully for the past five or
six years. Lawyer ]. w. Patterson,
the senior member of the firm, is one
Of the best-knOwn attorneys in the city
Of Washington, as we'll as in the coun-
try as to that matter; and this is not
his first great legal victory. He has
tried many noted murder and civil
cases, in each case clearing his client
the most notable being the release of
Richard Cole, charged with the murder
of Mrs. Ada Dennis. Speaking of the
case, THE COLoRED AMERICAN said:-
They were fortunate in securing the
services of Mr.. John w. Patterson,
member of the bar of the District, and
one of the most eloquent and profound
men of the race.
Mr.. Patterson took right hold of the
case with the grasp of the master
mind and boldly resolving that Rich
ard Cole should not remain in Jail to
await the action of the grand jury,
promptly had him brought into court
on writ of habeas corpus, and had
the pleasure of seeing the district at
tOrney- make a surrender, and after
consulting with Mr. Patterson, suffered
Mr.. Patterson's client to be set free
by the court without a bIemish on
his name and his honor unscathed.
We believe that in the whole history
of criminal Jurisprudence in the Dis
trict, this case of Richard Cole is the
first and only one in which a man
charged with murder and held by a
coroner's jury for the action of the
grand jury has not been so held and
kept in Jail until the grand jury acted
on his case.
We think it will be of interest to
our readers to learn something more
than is known generally of the attract
i've personality found in Mr.. John W.
Patterson. He was born in Richmond,
Va, thirty-five years ago, and he is
now in the prime and vigor of his
manhood. His early education was OBJ
tanned in the city of his birth, and
shortly after reaching manhood he Sc
cured position in the Treasury De-
partment. This, however, he soon re-
signed to accept the Presidency of the
Peoples Transportation Company
which it will be remembered operated
the steamer Lady of the Lake for some
time between this city and Lower Po-
tomac river points. 1t was while so
serving that the idea occurred to Mr.
Patterson to enter upon the study of
law, and to him to think was to act.
Singular to relate he entered no law
school, but pursued his studies alone,
and when admitted to the District bar
he passed a brilliant and successful
examination.

legislature might with advantage their

Mr. Chinook for the refunding of the floating indebted

That IS measure which should be brought up at
through the concerted action of the Ramsey deega-
tons in the two houses. The rules ought to be sus-
pended at the earliest possible and the
put on its passage.
It is not much in the way of barrier against the
tide of extravaganza which has moved in full flood in
Ramsey county affairs for four years past but is
thing And moreover has required persistent action
to bring the need of it to the public understanding
Those county officials who have co-operated with County
Treasurer Metzdorf for its adoption are not many but
their dsnerested zeal for the welfare of taxpayers in
pushing it toward adoption goes without saying.
County certificates of indebtedness at per cent per
annum will be regarded with much favor

certificates at the rate now are And when this
bill becomes law, and the county certificates avail

Those who have visited the fish hatchery in the vcin
1ty OF Indian Mounds park any time within the past
hVe years must have been impressed with the utterly
primitive arrangements existing there in promoting the
great undertaking which is carried on There is not
haps another state in the Union which has as deep an in
terest IN fish culture this Our nnumcrabIe lakes and
rivers favorable to the propagation of all kinds of fish
bespeak great public duty which should be discharged
With all the resources at the states command There is
no reason whatever why in the present condition of
fish culture there should be found single sheet Of
water within the state boundaries without its eeminq

existence the liberal facilities for the cultivation Of

opinion alike there will be poachng on the rivers forests
and fields of the state
There is an adequate way to compensate for nd-
vdual greed and awlessness least so far as orr fish
supply is concerned. That way is to provide for tbe
ampest stocking of the waters This can be done
through extending and perfectng the states system of
fish hatchery. What does it matter if millions upon mil

PLAN STATE sANAToRIUM.
Senator Ferris Would Provide Ideal
Resort for Consumptives.

Another attempt is to be made to
have the territory surrounding Leech
lake set aside as a health resort by
the state.
In the senate yesterday morning
bill designed to secure a state sana-
torium for consumptives was introduce
ed by Senator Ferris. The measure
calls for the creating of a board of
medical examiners and an appropria-
ton Of $1500O0 for suitable buildings.
The measure is drawn along the
lines Of the recommendation made in
the. governors message. Authorities
have declared the district concerned
to be the ideal spot for a health resort
of this sort. Although the bill does not
go into detail, it is understood that
Senator Ferris has ideas which he will
endeavOr to have carried out If the
measure becomes a law.
The most important one is the plan
to fashion the sanatorium after the
state hospitals for the insane and the
erection of several cottage instead of
one or two large buildings.
