THINGS SAID DURING THE WAR.

1t is very interesting to read some
of the things said during the war of
the rebellion, but which have now al
most faded from the memories of
men. The New York Sun reproduces
the following:
Here is what one of the orators
said, and he was a minister of the
gospel at that, and hailed from the
loyal state of Iowa:
The American people are ruled by
felons With all his vast armies,
Lincoln has failed! failed! failed!
failed! And still the moster usurp
er wants more victims for his slaugh-
ter pens. ! blush that such a felon
should occupy the highest gift of the
people. Perjury and larceny are writ
ter al over him. Ever since the
usrrper, traitor, and tyrant has oc-
supied the presidential chair the Re-
publican party has chouted war to
the knife and the knife to the hilt.
Blood has flowed in torrents, and yet
the thirst of the old monster is not
guenched. His cry is ever for more
blood
The Appeal., 1910-09-10

The St. Louis Republic says: "The
lawless and brutal blackman, in his
crime against an individual, does harm
to the entire white race, but that harm
is much less than that which he does
to his own.
Negro opinion against criminals
ought to make itself felt in an organ
lied and systematic way"
All of which is true except the, evi.
dent implication that the Afro-Ameri-
can has done nothing or very little in
that way. But the Afro-American pull
pet and press have, without exception
protected against and condemned
crime of all kinds. They have done
nearly all in their power
We might retort and perhaps prove
that the Caucasian-American has done
very little better in suppressing law
lessness. The so-called superior race
has allowed the. United States to be
the Aceldama of nations, excelling all
others in the number of brutal mur-

this could effectively serve the iner-
ests OF the race. At that time it was
declared that the purpose and object
of the league would be to inform the
world "of the progress the Negro is
making in business in every part of
thewcrld," and ito stimulate local
business enterprises. The National
Negro Business League in celebrating
the tenth anniversary of it's organiza-
tion bas every reason to congratulate
itself that the league has with thor
oughness carried out the original ob-
ject for which it was organized, and
that it's further growth and influence
is assured.
When the National Negro Business
League was organized ten years ago
there were no State Negro Business
Leagues or local leagues anywhere in
the United States There are now
eight State Leagues and nearly five
hundred local league organizations
established throughout the country.
When we mettin Boston ten years ago,
the delegates present represented
somthing like one million dollars of
wealth. At tllis. our tenth anniversary
tho wealth we represent through the
national organization, through State
organizations# and local organizations,
is quite Two hundred or more million
of dollars; now it is, estimated to be
at least six hundred million dollars.
We woud earnestly urge our people
in every part of the country to con-
TIME to secure property, to increase
the number Of homes owned by them,
and to- enter every field of commercial
and economic activity. While justly
gratified with the progress we are
making, we are anxiousy in word,
that our people everywhere shall in
crease the pIoportionate number who
are taxpayins citizens.
We record our sincere appreciation
of that ever increasing number of
white fellow citizens, both North and
South, who ire giving us moral ana
financial aid, and who have done so
much to assist us in our upward ef-=
forts to become 5self-suficient
AT our lastlmeet:ng it gave us pleas
ure to record our thanks to the Presi-
dent of the United States for sending
a Commission to the Republic of
Liberia to Investigate conditions in
the little black republic. Since that
time the report of the Commission has
been published It makes certain
recommendations looking to preserv-.
ing the territorial integrity and the
ma!ntenanceSof the republic as an in
dependent nation President Taft and
his great Secretary of State, Mr..
Knox, are deserving of our sincere
thanks for their good Offices in seek

During the last few days, the chron-

the principal German ports with 5000
cats on board. These on arrival are
to be settled in the various maritime

OF the Commission. The Negroes Of
America are deeply interested in the
preservation Of Liberia. Be it re-
solved that we heartily appreciate the
signal diDlomatic services rendered
IN this behalf by Mr.. b. j.. Scott.
The President Of the United States
became interested in the National
Negro Exposition proposed at our last
meeting to commemorate the" fiftieth
anniversary of the freedom of the Ne.
gro and especially mentioned the mat
ter IN his last message to Congress.
The bill introduced as a preliminary
measure did not pass at the last ses-
sion, but will probably be passed at
the coming session of Congress. We
still believe that celebration of
some character should be held, and we
urge upon our people everywhere the
most hearty support of whatever
plans that may formulated for carry
ing out this suggestion
AS business men striving to become
sufficient and strong in all our busi-
ness enterprises, we earnestly desire
to express ourselves in favor of the
higher ethical standard in business,
that are now insisted upon by the pro-
gressive business men in the United
States. and that We hereby pledge
ourselves to contribute our strength
and interest in behalf of civic right
ecusness in every community where
we reside.
Whereas, the great Panama Canal
now under construction will be COM
pleted in 1915, and it is the purpose
of the United States government to
celebrate the event by an exposition
of international scope; be it resolved,
that we, the National Negro League
in convention assembled. favor with
our fellow citizens of New Orleans,
La, in it's laudable effort to secure the
exposition in that city.
Resolved. that this committee ex-
press it's hearty appreciation for the
generous services rendered by the
press association in publishing the
proceedings of this convention.
>ResOlved, that we appreciate the
generous hospitality Of the local busi-
ness league and the citizens of New
York City and State for their cordial
hospitality extended to this conven-
tion, and as we depart. we are con-
scious of new strength, for higher
achievement in business enterprises,
because of this generous hospitality.

Cleaning Handbaus

The handbag or satchel of undressed
kid. when soiled by usage, need not
necessarily be turned over to the pro-
fessional cleaner. The secret of restor
alton is piece of sandpaper rubbed
over the surface A very fine grade
of sandpaper is required When this
is used with care the effect is magical
and no injury to the material accrues.
Many kinds of feathers without pol-
ished surfaces-for example, suede.
undressed and ooze calfskin-can be
cleaned thus.

The complaint thus made is as old

and the Tribune is as unable as
