This community is under great and lasting
obligations to the Merchants Association
for its effective action at critical juncture
in saving the location Of the army post.
There are other organizations of business
men in the city. including the Board of
Trade, the Commercial Club. the Manufac-
turers' Association and the Wholesale Mer-
chants Association, but none has shown
more public spirit, civic pride and unselfish
devotion to the general welfare than the
Merchants Association.
The membership of the association is not
very large. only about seventy. 1t lacks
considerable Of including a majority of the
retail merchants of the city. but its men,
bers are full OF enterprise and are ami
mated by a spirit of harmony and progress
that makes il a power when it sets about
anything. It's object Is TO benefit not merely
its own members, but the city at large, by
encouraging local enterprises and bringing
people and trade here. Among other ben
efits it has conferred on the community are
the prevention of an increase Of insurance
rates which. If it had been carried out as
threatened. would have affected every in

and light plant by which the entire bust

The Person of Color.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Looking several old Indiana directories
not long ago. 1 impressed with the quaint
and respectful treatment accorded the colored
person of that period. No doubt, in the North
at that early time. between 1910 and 1850. there
were i'm each small town, but few colored per
sons, and these, by reason Of their limited num-
Der and their strong initiative tendencies had
acquired white habits and regarded with
corresponding respect and trust by their fellow
citizens. There is a dignity in these old rec
ords of the old directories: Celia Cook, Of
color" Henry Freeman of color" Mary
Lewis of color" and James Russell, Of color"
Musing on these coored people of old times and
their general good standing in the old towns
where they lived. it occurred to me that the
two most prominent characteristics OF these
old-fashioned people of color which conduced to
their prosperity and responsibility were per-
sonal cleanliness and honesty. Education, per-
sonal cleanliness and honesty will earn for the
colored man or woman OF to-day all the re-
spect prosperity and honor they can aspire 10.
