INDIANA is rapidly forging to the front mecca
for cigarette fends. From all over the country in
veterate smokers Of the little cigar are heading for
Indiana. Once there they imagine that they will be
able to get the upper hand In this they are partly
correct. As it is impossible to buy them, to smoke
them without being arrested, this might have a
tendency to assist the to chuck them over.
Indiana is very accommodating In fact, she is
more generous in helping to relieve himself of
the habit than the Liliputian apostle of Zion is in
relieving of his filthy lucre In the near flu
ture there will be many rich daddes who Will send
their sons to Indiana Whether the drastic laws Of
that state will prove efectua remains to be seen.

The meteoric fight Of Mr.. Scott, the alleged
owner Of fabulous rich mine, across the American
continent has created great deal of surprise It is
not known what his purpose is whether he really
owns mine. His method is the most spectacular

fake, but he is certainly causing many people to sit

Fathers and Sons.


The president, it is reported, "has disappeared
into the wilds that is, the wooded shores Of Long
Island taking with him three of his sons and five
other boys The exact objective point of the expedi
ton is not given, and while may assume that its
broad general purpose is simply to have good time

only that there four boats in the equipment that
the party is live in tents and that the cooking is to
be done by the members thereof Whether the last
specification is recommendation is so entirely
question of individual taste that it may be passed
quickly by, but there is aspect Of this and similar
outings that is of very general interest because of it's
bearing on the family life.
Mr. Roosevelt believes in sharing his recreations
with his children and that much to father and
child AS to the kind of recreation in such asso
citation there is for great range OF choice It
is not necessary to take to boats and tents to do
any cooking whatever. The comrades may eschew
hunting and fishing and study birds and flowers if
they prefer. They may play golf go sightseeing
in great cities. There is absolutely restriction
save those that imposed by natural reverence
on the part of the child and the of PRIDE self
respect and protection on the part Of the father.
Where the ASSOCIATION does not exist there is a
most regrettable want for which, of course, the
father is primarily to blame. His pleasures may be
such that he dare not share them with his son. He
may have forgotten his youth in his maturity and be-
come so absorbed in business that he is simply in
different and unsympathetic. But whatever the
cause of the separation the loss of influence that
should be always present for good will be acutely
realized at some later time. This influence quickens
and strengthens the affections and molds the char
acter It is beneficial to the grown and the boy
It is of the greatest promoters of happy home
and as such is of inestimable value.
Possibly the president is being over-w worked as a
model and there are unquestionably many fathers
who are as exemplary in this matter he. But the

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.
Ed. johnson to Represent This State
Purposes Defined by Washington.

The National Negro Business League
will hold it's sixth annual session in
Palm Garden, Manhattan, New York,
on August 18th to 18th, inclusive. This
organization brings together about 400
of the strong and successful of the
negroes both men and women, en-
gagged in various business and indus
trial interests throughout the country.
Ed. Johnson, of Raleigh, will repre-
sent North Carolina.
In speaking of the purposes of the
league, Booker T. Washington, its
president, says:
"Those who take part in the pro-
ceedings are those who. for the most
part, have actually reached success
and not those who generalize and give
abstract advice. A large part of the
addresses or talks will consist of de-
scriptions of the struggles which these
persons have had in reaching success.
Many of them are eX-slaves. In some
cases they have succeeded as mer-
chants, druggists real estate dealers,
farmers, and in few cases, as bank
ers. The main object of the meeting
is to bring these men in touch with
each Othr that they may receive In
spiration. instruction and encourage
ment, ad to turn their attention to-
ward constructive efforts"
