A Significant Statement.

The H~arrisonburg, Pa, Advocate
Verdict makes the following signifi-
cant statement:
The Negroes in Philadelphia in
a single year in one bank alone
opened 2,045 new accounts, and
their entire deposits in all the
banks amount to at least
$500, 900.
This does not speak we'll for the
Negroes of the Quaker City. They
are not exercising that progressive
ness for which they are noted. There
ought to be several banks owned and
operated by the Negroes of Philadel-
phia.
There are several cities and towns
in Tennessee in which the Negroes
are as guilty of the same negligence
that is charged against those in the
Pennsylvania metropolis, and they
would act wisely to bestir themselves
along this line. There are only five
banks in the state, whereas there
should be more than twice that num-
Der. Chattanooga can support two
banks, Knoxville two, and several
smaller towns can support one each.
Banks develop a race and give to
the young aspiring men and women
opportunities to get an insight into
the business of the world. They es-
tablish confidence between the men
and women who have accomplished
something, and encourage those who
have a desire to attain to higher COM
mercial activity.
The masses of the people can be
taught to save their money with
more regularity through banks than
through any other medium. Thou
sands of dollars that are spent un-
necessarily would be saved for a
needy day if there were Negro bank.
ers in every community who would
come in touch with the people and
encourage them to put some money
in the bank and let it stay there until
needed.

blind, which is poor heading at it's
best.
The Negroes of Tennessee have
had four years of Patterson rule and
they know that there has never been
a greater season of prosperity in any
state of the Union than they have en-
joyed. The fact that Governor Pat
terson has pardoned a few prisoners
is not the prime reason the Negroes
have for preferring him for governor.
They appreciate his noble-hearted-
ness in these cases, but a higher mo-
tive holds the Negroes inseparably
to him, and that is, he rs governor of
all the people. Negro men, farmers
and merchants alike, are not afraid
to embark in business in this state.
They feel that they are absolutely
safe, and in fact they are encouraged
to do so by the leading men in the
state, Democrats if you please, who
have never been known to vote a Re
publican ticket, but who realize the
worth of the Negro as a farmer, as a
merchant, and that he makes a better
citizen when he is a taxpayer than he
does when he is not. Patterson they
know, but Who is Hooper? Nobody
west of the mountain ranges of East
Tennessee seems to know. He may
be all right, but he is keeping bad
company, and the Negroes of the old
Volunteer State would rather not
trust him with the ship just yet.

Will They Protest?

A few weeks ago an organization
was perfected in this city for the pur-
pose of thanking the school board
for the gift" of the Princess Anne
avenue school. They met, organized,
passed resolutions thanking the
board and ignoring the man who
worked himself to death to secure the
school, while not one of them dotted
an 81" or crossed a 't' to help bring
about the result. They did more;
they elected officers, appointed COM
mittees and adjomned-sine die to
all appearances. We do not now
recall the name of the organization,
but if any member should read this
he is requested to come forward and
be identified, as there is work to be
done.
The appointment of a white
teacher at one of the schools gives
rise to a situation that should have
the immediate attention of the au
gust body. They should either thank
the board or enter a protest in behalf
of at least one colored teachers whose
bread and butter is cut off.-Tht

The Florida Standard, Jacksonville,
Fla.
We we'll remember what a bunch of
republican editors attempted to do
just before statehood. They read
the Negro out of the party and de-
clared that he was unworthy to hold
office or to have any say politically.
Unfortunately for a portion of this
bunch some of their number have pre-
sented their candidacy to the people
for office and we are glad to say they

quainted with Napoleon.-The Ameri-

Negro Supervisor.

1t seems absolutely certain that
one of the Negro principals will be
elected supervisor of our Negro
schools. 1t is admitted that relief
must be given the superintendent,
and nothing can be more satisfactory
to the Negroes of Nashville than to
have one of the men who has faith
fully served the city elevated to the
position, and it is a wise move to ap-
point a Negro to supervise the Negro
schools.
The post will carry with it a great
responsibility as we'll as a great
honor, and the person selected will
have a splendid opportunity to prove
to the world what it is possible for a
Negro to do in such a capacity. This
move on the part of the school board
will show to the world that the silly
talk of Negroes and white people of
the South being so far apart in mat
tiers pertaining to the betterment OF
all the people is a farce and void OF
all truth.
We look upon the proposed action
as the beginning of a better day fol

DITORIAL CLIPPINGS.
Is It Wise?

The colored Republicans of Tennes-
see have decided to meet and de-
care against the Republican party
OF their state because Mr.. J. C. Ma
pier has been removed from the Re-
publican State Committee. If these
voters leave the Republican party
where will they go? The Democratic
party doesn't want them, and the Re-
publican party, they say, has cast
them aside. The question now is,
where will the colored voters go?
The colored voters a only be fac
tors in the body polite by united ac.
ton. The Bee maintains that Pres
ident Taft is being ill-advised. In
his heart, The Bee believes that he
is friendly to the colored man, but
his advisers, or a few Of them, are
inimical to the colored voters. Pres
ident Roosevelt, it must be admitted,
made a mistake when he dismissed
the colored battalion from the Army
without honor; but what can the col
ored Americans do about it?
The colored voters are therefore
advised to desert the party that has
made it possible for the colored voter
to enjoy what little freedom he is
enjoying to-day. There has been nc
act on the part of the Republican
party to cause the colored voter to GO
over to the enemy. The question is
Is it wise? The colored voters need
at this time wise counsel.-The

The Age Surprised.


In the issue of September the frs
The New York Age discusses a
ength the political situation in Ten
lessee. After sizing up the recen.
Republican convention in a very &C
,urate way the Age comments as 70!
ows:
We do not know if the Negro
Republicans are going to support
Patterson as it is reported they
will do, nor do We advance adj
vice to those who may claim in
their Napier and in their Settle
leaders wise and true, and
men fully able to advise and in
struct. But we cannot remain
entirely dumb when a Republican
convention in Tennessee boasts
of a paucity of Negro delegates
and turns the affairs of the party
over to the hands or men who
are foremost in the infamy that
aims to cut off the Negro from
any respectable influence in
the party council, deny him
representation in the conven-
ton and oppose him for po-
litical honors as a recogni-
ton of progress and loyalty to
the Republican party on mere
ground Of ace. Perhaps the Ne
groes of Tennessee may rally an
other and a final time. And yet
there is no Brownlow now! Pat
terson's reputed friendliness to-
ward his Negro population may
be overdrawn and there may be
no debt of gratitude to cancel.
in Tennessee politics is bewil-
dering, but interesting and sur
prising. Our information is that
the great bulk of Negro voters
will follow the stalwart Napier,
who is a feryent supporter of Re
publican principles and the lead
ers of the party who would con-
serve the interests Of his people.
A Patterson can lick a weak
man before one can walk from
Napier Court to the Maxwell
House. Who's Hooper?
We do not know from what sour
the Age gets the information tn
the great bulk of Negro voters W
follow the stalwart Napier in t
coming election but we are certa
that the informant, whoever he m
be, cannot tell what the Negroes
Tennessee will do in November, b
from the information obtainable
first hand every indication is IL
more of the Negroes who pay their o'
poll tax will vote for Patterson tn
Hooper. Not that they have K
faith in Mr.. Napier or Mr.. Settles,
any of the other leaders in politi,
affairs, but in view of the fact IL
none of these leaders T admitted
the councils of the Republican par
and could only lead in the dark.
