Chlcdeo' OcC. l4.-The building Of
a large Industrial home in which to
nave permanent exhibits of the work
Deang done by the coIored race in
chicago was strongly advocated by
GOV. Charles S, Deneen yesterday
IN an address made before q large au-
d1ence IN the Bethel African Metho-
DIST Episcopal Church, Thirteenth
and Dearborn Streets, where the ex-
position Of the Negro Business League
Is in progress.
The industries Of the country at
the present day have greater an:
peal to the imagination of youth, he
said, and are now more sought after
IMAM the arts, sciences and profess
slons, which in former years attract
ed thousands to their ranks. If the
Negro youth had always before them
the works their own race accomplish
ed 1T would be an incentive to their
progress the Value of which could
| hardly be estimated - ~fs-nrhN ~r<
IN an address of welcome to the
Ch1ef Executive Of the State Attorney
EDWARD H. Morris said the coIored
race hoped to see him some day Pres
1dent Of the United States.
Men can talk until the end of
time about what they are going to
DO and what they have done" Gov.
Deneen said, "but no one takes much
stock In their words until thew have
shown by their works what their
ABILITY really is. Tons and tons Of
literature have been written about
the Seattle Exposition, which I re-
cently attended, but all the adver-
Using in the world Is unable to create
the same impression on the mind al
that concrete exhibit has done in
bringing to the attention of the pub.
Tic the vast growth and accomplish
ments OF the people Of the western
states. In Chicago the colored race
can bring about the same results to
their own benefit.
AS | looked over your exhibits
mere today was impressed with the
great progress in the industrial art
your race has made. A great building
ought to be erected in this city where
the works of the Negro population
could he kept constantly before the
public. You have earned the respect
OF the white race and you could then
snow them what you are able to do.
THE industries Of the country now
appeal to the imagination Of the
youth, and 1t is a change for the bet
ter Now they are going out of the
professions to seek other fields which
they have been taught are Just as
honorable as the bar and ministry.
Instead Of taking up the practice
or law or following the arts and sci
ences they are taking up engineering
the building up Of large business en-
terprtses, farming and other work
which requires skill of the hands Az
well as Of the brain. The time will
soon be here when you will realize
the great benefit it will be to have O.
nome for your industries such as I
nave suggested, that you can point to
with pride and say THAT Is what we
have done"
