action OF the Council OF Baltimore

Il can say TO all Hebrews that you

that you shall not move out. The
ridiculous nature OF the proposition
is apparent upon its face. We DO
not see any need Of worrying over
the Baltimore situation. The white
people who own property have the

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE
SUPREME COURT.

President VIM. H. Taft has earned
the title of being the greatest Demo-
crat-Republican that this country
has ever produced. He has the unit
que distinction Of having rejected
the selection OF Hon. Charles II.
Hughes. a Republican Of New York,
and accepted the selection OF Hon.
Edward Douglass White. OF Louis
lana, a Democrat and an ex-Con-
federate. as Chief Justice of a trib-
unal which can unmaKe any law that
the Legislative Department OF the
government can enact and the Exec
utive Department OF the government
can approve.
He has gone further and named
Hon. Joseph r. Lamar, of Georgia,
a Democrat, as Associate Justice
There can be but two deductions to
draw from this remarkable action.
One Is that the other Republican

THE TRUE REFORMERS.

IL is hoped that a sympathetic
public viii continue TO aid the True
Reformers in their effort 20 get
again into a standing posture. It
may be that the injury Is not unto
death and that a loyal following
shall DE able 10 snatch success from
disaster. This can only be done
though by the most careful and con-
1ervative management. The people
of the country are demanding an in

upon this demand.
ENGrand Master VIM. /. Taylor
insists that he is not to blame for
the troubles which have overtaken
the order. Then, who is 20 blamer
IL is but fair 10 Rev Taylor that
judgment be suspended IN this case
until the investigation has taken
place and the blame placed where it
belongs. AS the matter now stands,
ex-President Taylor is being made
the scape-goat for all OF the sins Of
the brotherhood. He pleads not
guilty. Now the Grand Fountain and
the courts are the only tribunals be-
fore which this matter can be ad-
Indicated, and it is but fair that
one or the other. and perhaps both,
should be called upon TO decide these
embarrassing questions.
In the meantime, let everybody
help 20 move the wheels of progress
for the order and then let us place
the blame for the wreck upon the
parties responsible for the monu-
mental disaster.

THE BALTIMORE SITUATION.

II is strange that the only city
in the United States, which has gone
so far as TO place upon its ordi-
nance BOOKS a law segregating the
races. should be located north OF the
Mason and Dixon Line. while there
is no record, so far as we have ever
heard, OF any city In the Southland
encumbering its records with such
a useless piece OF legislation. The
reason for this has been that such
peculiar and unconstitutional actions
were not needed. The better class
OF white and colored people In the
sunny cline in which We live seem
TO understand each other much bet
ter than some other people suppose.

THAT PROMISED APPOINTMENT

II is announced that Dr. Booker r.
Washington called on President VIM.
TT. Taft 20 urge the appointment Of
Attorney VIM. II. Lewis as Assistant
Acknowledgement of the United
States. Just why such a course was
necessary, in view OF the heraIded
announcements before the election
that he would appoint him, deponent
sayeth not. 10 would seem to in
dictate that our President has shown
a disposition 20 back down in this
matter. 10 is also stated that Speak
or Cannon went to the White House
in opposition 90 the appointment. not
on the basis OF color-oh. no-but
only on the ground that the Office
is unnecessary and should be abolish
ed on the ground OF economy. al
though the congress can find money
for well-nlgh everything under the
sun.
This whole business places DIT.
Washington again in the political
lime-light as a political referee and
as a virtual dispenser or patronage.
II Is this phase OF his activity which
is open to so much adverse criu-
cism. He is In the educational field
OF public endeavor. and the sooner
he makes up his mind 20 stick to
this chosen field OF labor and the
one for which he is especially fitted.
the better il will be for him, his
friends and his army Of independent
admirers throughout the country. AS
for President Taft, If he can do
anything with him from a racial
standpoint, well, he is welcome to the
job.
a Negro TO get Office under the
present administration needs only
the endorsation OF the white South.
With these recommendation in his
hands he can prepare 70 enter upon
the duties Of his Office, even before
his commission has been handed
down from the President. The South
is in the saddle at Washington, and
a man is blind indeed who cannot
see it. For getting there and get
ting plenty OF what is wanted, the
present corp of Democratic leaders
have not been surpassed in the his
tory OF the world.

Dear Brethren:

There are colored enterprises in Ric

sponsible for our condition here il

trade with us.
Out OF 35 or 40 Ministers in Rich
mond we do not get 5 per cent. Of
their trade. am sorry to have the
people out OF Richmond to know this
Wont you please stop and think and
see your mistake? All OF the color
ed business houses in Richmond know
this is true but some how they have
been little timid to tell you.
Stop finding fault and saying we
cannot please you and we do not keep
what you eat and wear but call and
examine our goods before spending
your money with other races and
try and build up your own first. II
we fail to suit You Ii. our stock, we
can make your clothing to measure
In any style you wish as we make
suits and overcoats ranging in price
from $500 TO $500
II there is any race problem TO
solve this Is the only way to do 4
as no race OF people will ever rise or
amount to anything without being in
touch with the financial conditions
OF the world.
Hoping that after rea 1ing this thpt
you will give US more of your trade
