niral Immediately sent his card to Ad-

discussion Of international questions
including the subject of war between
Japan and the United States The two
were cid friends. having become well
acquainted some years ago while Ad-

Asiatic fleet and visited Yokohama
The two aged naval men discussed

EMPHATIC ENDORSEMENT OF
NEGRO DOLLS.

The coming holiday season has
created much interest in the Negro
Doll Company of this city. The man
ager of the company informed a
Globe reporter that newspapers
throughout the country of all races
are paying some attention to this
new enterprise. One of the strong
est articles or editorials written on
the subject recently, appeared in the
New Decatur Advertiser" This is
reproduced and, no doubt, shows the
attitude of the Caucasian toward Ne
gro dolls.
Brand New Style of Dolls.
"In a drug store on Bank street,
which is under the proprietorship of
an Afro-American who has a real
standing in his profession, is dis
played line of dolls such as has
never been seen in this city before.
"They differ from other dolls only
in respect that they are made for the
Negro trade, and are of bisque which
has been treated to delicate brown
color, both in the head arms and
legs. The hair is of the right texture
and treatment and the whole effect
is as different from the black dolls
which we have been used to seeing
as pebbles differ from diamonds.
There is a lesson in this window
display which is of more interest to
the Caucasian than lies on the sur.
face. 1t brings home to us the fact
that the Negro as a race is becoming
more Independent. 1t also shows an
independence in the right direction
a pride of race and recognition of
the fact that they have place of
their own in society which is not the
assertion of social equality" The
Negro leaders Of the present day
have given up social equality, and in
it's place we find an ambition for
equality of accomplishment-of ac-
tual worth.
This Negro owns the building in
which his store is located, as we'll as
other property, and he is respected
by the white people of the city not
for his actual wealth, but from the
fact that he has worked up from pov.
erty to independence-real independ
ence, such as the drafters of the Eff
teenth Amendment did not have in
mind some fifty years ago. Inciden-
tally we may mention that the goods
On his counters are, as far as pos
sible, made by Negroes who own
heir own factories. The prescrip-
ion clerks are Negroes, and the
whole is an example of what, in the
next rs years, we shall see in every
