Within the last twelve months the
banks OF Texas have awakened to
knowledge of the fact that newspa-
per advertising will pay a banker as
well as merchant. In all our list
of EXCHANGES, from the smallest coun-
try paper TO the largest daily, there
Is not one that does not contain one
or more bank ads from few inches
In length 10 a full page A national
bank of Atlanta, Cass county, runs
full page ad in the Journal OF that
town week after week. The public
has long since concluded that the
non-advertiser is a mossback who is
out of his sphere in progressive anns
enlightened community. Petty En-
terprise.
Advertising has come to be ac-
cepted as the one dependable medium
Of information between private bus
mess and public patronage. And as
the banks are intimately related to
the life of their communities, 1t is
as necessary for them TO advertise
as for most other business institu-
lions. The day has passed when
dignity was thought to be a banks

to you, my connection with the

HE REFUTED THEM.

In their efforts to make a show
ing, the small percentage of col
ored Americans who are occupy
ing seats on the Bryan band wag-
on have resorted to the most ri
diculous efforts to make it appear
that some of the real leaders of
their race are with them. An
example of the manner in which
they are playing the game was
furnished recently by the organ
izers of the National Negro
Political League" when they put
out, in list of their prominent
members, the name of Bishop
!. s. Caldwell, of Philadelphia.
The organization is anti-Taft.
and has been doing everything
possible to make it appear that
/ has some influence, but when
il published, without authority,
the name of Bishop Caldwell, he
was promptly notified and as
promptly repudiated the use OF
his name in such connection.
Writing to his informant under
date of October 9, on the subject,
Bishop Caldwell empIIatically
states his real position as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir
/ am very much surprised to
learn that my name has been con-
nected with the National Negro
Political League. In fact / DO

said:
"All l can say to you is that when
l get into the White House, assuming
that | am to be put there, no plea in
favor Of a Negro will have any less
consideration because he is a Negro,
than if he were a white man.
You are Americans as l am. The
starry flag that is mine is yours,
Many of your race have laid down
their lives for it.
"Mr Taft impatiently spurned the
proposal, conceived in slavery times,
but which has survived slavery in the
minds Of many well-meaning but
shortsighted philanthropists, that the
Negro should go back to Africa. He
looks at the American Negro as hav-
ing the same right here as the Ameri-
can white man, and he added that
the fact that the ancestors of the
American Negro of today were
brought here by force from their ma
tive home made it only the more in
cumbent on white Americans TO see
that the Negro is protected in all his
rights.
That Mr.. Taft means just what
he says his whole career bears evil
dence, and it is only justice to the
Negro to assume that he will receive
the support of the cOlored race in his
election to the high position which
vii! enable him to carry into effect
the honorable and high minded views
which he has so frankly o-I unre-
servedly expressed.

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE
COLORED VOTERS.

There are two great political
parties, the Republican and the
Democratic.
A majority OF the states con-
trolled by the Democratic party
deny the right of voting to the
colored man, and have their state
constitutions so worded that the
disfranchisement of the Negro is
effected without appearing to
violate the fifteenth amendment
to the Constitution. Georgia has
just joined the other states in
this respect by vote taken with
in less than month before the
National election.
Judging by the action of a ma
jority of the Democratic states
in nullifying Negro suffrage it is
a reasonable inference that the
Democratic party would repeal
the fifteenth amendment if that
party had the power. The Re
publican party stands in the way
of such action, and also protects
the Negro in his rights where
ever the Republican party is in
charge of state administration.
The colored voters who are
asked to mark their ballots for
Bryan should know, if they do
not know already, that in voting
for Bryan they are voting for the
Democracy which disfranchises
them now wherever it can, and
are taking long step toward the
repeal of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and the election of Taft
would mean equal treatment for
Americans without regard to
race or color, and the protection
of the citizen in his constitutional
rights with all the authority at
the command of the President.
The Washington bee., 1908-10-24

educational condition of the colored
race be advanced What does Mr..
Kern say? Silence
The Republican national platform.
adopted at Chicago, declares:
The Republican party has been
for more than fifty years the consis-
tent friend of the American Negro.
Ii gave him freedom and citizenship.
It wrote in the organic law the dec
larations that proclaim his civil and
political rights, and it believes today
that his noteworthy progress in in
teligence, industry and good citizen
ship has earned the respect and en-
couragement of the nation. We de-
mand equal justice for all men, with
out regard to race or color.
What does the Democratic party
say? Nothing. But the disfranchis-
ing. separate car and separate school
laws of every Southern State where
the Democratic party rules with an
iron rod indicate what the Democrat
ic party would do if it had the con-
troll OF the Presidential Office and
Democratic Congress.
There was lots of fun at the big
rally at Bethel Church, in New York,
last week. Gov. Pinchback presided
and Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Geor-
gia, stirred up the few Democrats who
came to have a row and not to ap-
plaud. Policemen were required to
calm the old Nick in the few bellicose
Democrats. Rev. Madison c. Peters
and Gov. Hughes made good address
ses and were not interrupted, which
shows that black Democrat knows
how to keep quiet when he has to.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM
BRYAN.
Editorial in The Christian Re
corder philadelphia, Pa.) of

EuitOI Id III llC Iii ltSlIdI NJ
corder philadelphia, Pa.) of
October 9Th, 1908.
The Democrats of West Vir-
ginia met in convention recently
and adopted resolutions in favor
of the disfranchisement and jim
Growing of the Afro-American.
And, forthwith, Mr.. Bryan tele-
graphed his approval of the ac-
tiOn of the convention. This was
done at just the same time that
some Afro-Americans of no little
prominence were trying to make
overtures to Mr.. Bryan with a
view to delivering to him a frac-
ton of the Afro-Anerican vote
and it is a most convincing show
ing of what the race may expect
from Mr.. Bryan should he be
elected.
Mr.. Bryan we'll knows that
thousands of Democrats in the
South have no appetite for him,
however prepared for their di-
gestion-baked, fried, on the half
shell or scrambled. They have
merely been whipped into the
traces, ,sorely against the stomach
of their sense. So he must use
every effort to conciliate these
recalcictrant elements - humble
himself into the dust to keep
them in good humor and prevent
a revolt. So he dares not go as
far as Mr.. Watterson has public
lydone.
Bryan, so far as the Afro
American is concerned is very
little better than Vardaman."

GEORGE MEYERS SHOP.

Declared TO be the Best Barber Shop
in the World, by a Wealthy White
Tourist.
New York, N. Y.-There is only
one city in the country that has better
barber shops than New York, and
that city is Cleveland" said a Cleve-
land globe trotter who arrived back
from Europe this week. I've trav-
eled all over the United States and
have been shaved and shorn by bar
bers in at least 400 different cities,
but my hat is off to the New York
barber.
Those who have not had my ex-
perience with western BARRIERS with
cowboy methods of attack, whose
hair massage resembles the jiu-jitsu
in some ways he contiued, cannot
appreciate the delight in visiting New
York barber shops. The BARRIERS are
so quick and careful in their work
that it is a delight to go instead of
an ordeal. 1t has become a sort of
recreation with me to drop into
shop to get shave and massage, and
I invariably leave refreshed and at
peace with the world
"The barber shops in Europe are
even worse than the shops IN Omaha
and Kansas City. You leave them
half beaten, ashamed and cowardly.
Hair is generally in your neck and
on the coat. Your chin is cut and
you feel as though you had just gone
through an Odd Fellows initiation.
"In New York its very diferem.
There is one barber shop in Cleve-
land, however, which has it on every
shop in New York. Ebert Hubbard
called it the best barber shop in
America. He should have said the
best barber shop in the world" The
barber shop which Ebert Hubbard
said was the "best barber shop in
America, and which this globe trotter
declares is the best in the world, is
the Hollenden Hotel barber shop, is
Cleveland, Ohio, owned by Geo. A.
Meyers. It is a fourteen chair shop,
and there is long distance and local
telephone at each chair.
1t is regular palace!
