NEGROES HAVE
LARGE MEETING
Chamber of Commerce Not Yet
Definitely Settled Upon
by Them.
BANK MAY COME HER.

An enthusiastic and interesting meeting
of negro business men was held last night
in True Reformers' Hall to hear Fred
r. Moore, organizer OF the Negro Bust
ness League of America. The session
continued until some time after midnight,
and was followed by banquet rendered
to Moore.
At the outset of his address last night
Moore discaimed the report OF his speech
in Newport News, which stated that he
had endorsed President Roosevelts action
in regard to the Brownsville affair.
Moore declared that he had not mentioned
the matter at all.
He had neither condemned nor endorsed
the position held by the President. 1t
was not his mission in travelling through
the South. he declared. to discuss Presi-
dent Roosevelt in relation to the affair
at Brownsville. but to gather the negro
business men together in an endeayor to
help their interests and to aid them
in forwarding their work.
Chamber Of Commerce.
The matter Of establishing a. negro
chamber of commerce was touched upon,
but nothing definite WIS accomplished in
reference to it. The question as to es,
tablishing a national negro bank Is Still
in the hands of Booker Washington, and
will be decided later. During the course
of his remarks. Moore said that every
phase of negro enterprise. be 1t small or
great should be enlarged upon.
The negro, he declared, must come
into competition with business men, his
motto being excellence in everything
whether he were a bootblack or &
banker. and this should be set before
him as an aim and an end
The speaker was much pleased witt
the conditions In the negro business
community, and expressed his gratifca
ton in seeing such cordial relations ex-
listing between the negroes and white
people of Richmond. 4a
National Bank.
AS to the negro national bank, II
was stated last night that, in the even
Of it's establishments, 1t Will likely coms

greatest centre Of negro enterprise IL
the South The capital invested in thi!
city by negro business men amounts t.
100000, which could easily be uset

manner. Plans have pcen draWniup by

1t is always of interest to compare
the results of business under public
ownership with results under private
ownership. We are continually re-
minded that the postoffice department,
the largest organized business in the
world does not pay any revenue into
the treasury; short time ago a rich
Chicagoan offered to assume this bust
ness and pay large sum for it, and
give the public one-cent letter postage.
The Adams Express company, private
concern, has paid dividends of s per
cent. a year or more, and has in addi-
ton divided profits amounting at one
time to 100 per cent. on the capital in
vested, and recently to 200 per cent. 1t
is high time that the public was pro
tected against the robbers in its own
service and the robbers in the service of
others. Either way, those who use the
mails or the express service, have to
pay exorbitant rates because congress
permits this kind of graft. We shall
never have proper transportation ser
vice until the express companies are
replaced either by the railroads them
selves or by parcels post. Make the
railroads carry the packages and regu-
late rates by law. This is the most
feasible and practicable plan.

burlington Free Press.)

That Vermont towns are more and
more approaching the need as well as
the desirahility of advertising their at
fractions both as places of business
and manufacturing as well as advan-
tageous home communities is becoming
increasingly manifest. Advertising
pays private concerns and individuals,
as has so frequently and persistently
been demonstrated, and the truth is
equally applicable to towns. The Nor
risvillc News and Citizen says:
"Brattleboro, like Morrisville, has
recently issued a booklet setting forth
the advantages and inducements for
business enterprises to locate in that
place. There 5 nothing like letting
people know what you have and we
are pleased to note that Brattieboro
has followed the example set by Nor
risville. "
Every live town in the Green Noun
tain state should follow the example
so well set by the places named as well
as some others not here named.

Who Began II?
(Ludlow Trigune.)

The Newport Express and STANDARD
thinks Mr.. Prouty does just right in
keeping mum, and also thinks il ride
ulous to try and force the gubernatorial
future almost before the present is
shclvcd. The gentleman from Newport
has certainly kept very mum so far as
the interrogatores fired at him are con.
eerned. But it can scarcely be denied
even by his home paper that he grew
very busy in a gubernatorial way very
early in the season. The Tribune agrees
with The Express and STANDARD as 10
the righteousness of trying to crowd
this matter, but the responsibility for
the forcing process lies some distance
farther north than Ludlow.

The employees of factory in Orange,
Mass, are said to be indignant because
one of the janitors used an old United
States flag to wash the windows with.
This is carrying patriotism to ridicu,
lous extreme. A flag which has out
lived it's usefulness as q flag, is not
desecrated by any suitable use to which
it may be put, unless the spirit of The
user is hostile or contemptuous. The
Orange worllmen whose pride was
touched to see the flag disgraced i'll this
way betray tendency to snobbishness.
The flag cannot be disgraced, but the
man who treats it disrespectfully is dis
graced.

Advertising Towns.
(Rrncktnn Times.l

The advertising feature that is find
ing its way into the conduct of NUM-
cipal government in many sections of
this country for the purpose of acquir-
ing new industries gives us reason to
believe that it has come to stay. No
sane business man of large affairs
would ever dispute the assertion that
it pays for an individual to advertise
and the city is only an aggregation of
individuals bound together by hun
bred and one diversified enterprises
or experiments, on the result of which
they must rise or fall together. If adj
vertising is good for private individ-
uals it is good for the public interests.
The city of Dallas, Tex, has been out
for new industries and growth and the
report of John A. Ewton, who has been
in charge of the work of advertising
and booming the city, shows that from
March l, 1905, to Aug. l, 1906, that
city spent $4,000 in advertising work.
During that period the city gained Is
new manufacturing enterprises, en-
ploying over 2000 people, with total
capitalization of over 100000. Bank
deposits of the city increased from
$l3,OO0,O0O to 100000; postoflice
receipts increased % per cent, and a
corresponding general increase was gem
orally apparent.
