OF PYTHlAS

The Grand Lodge X. Of P. of New
Jersey, held it's annual session at
Trenton last week; at this session Il
was decided by that body to wage war
upon the colored lodges in the state
using the name Of knights of Pythias
which, it is claimed, is an unauthor-

are not recognized as a branch or in

THE CENSUS, WHAT 1T NEEA Ms
TO THE NEGRO.

The L. S. census, to be taken for
the past ten years, will commence
April the 18th Of this year. Since
the census is to be a guide of all
America, rs to the standing and prog
ress made by all races in the last ten
years, no people should be more in
terested in seeing that we are cor
rectly reported than the Negro. Since
this must stand and be referred to
as history for Or against the race, it
Is imperative that we see to it, that
the truth, setting forth the condition
and progress Of our, people is given
Director Durand Of the Census Bu-
reau has appointed throughout the
south where many Of our people live,
colored enumerators that full and
correct census be taken. This is
good piece Of work, and just as lit
should be; by this he conceives the
idea, that no race other than the Ne
gro people themselves is capable of
giving a correct enumeration of the
financial and educational standing of
the race. What is true in the south
is also true in the north. Formerly.
1T has been the custom for white emu
merators to draw upon their preju-
diced imagnations about the Negro;
therefore, in many instances failing
to do us Justice. But in this census
our fate is different, TIE race has a
chance to tell the world of it's ac-
mplishments.
Since this is true, there is a re-
sponsibllity-yea, a duty, resting up
on us all. How are we going to meet
the issue to accomplish the best re-
suits? In this work, the press, the
pulpit, the schools, and all profession
al and" business men must take the
initiative, and see that all rural dis
trlcts are correctly reported and that
every section Of the country is thor
oughly aroused where our people live
as to the import of the census.
Every one Of us must stand up un-
til we are counted, and every dollar 8
worth of property recorded. 1t must
not be our purpose to magnify, but
report facts as they really exist.
Let us take advantage Of the pres
ent opportunity and stir up the'dor-
| mant communities, that a full and
complete record be taken. When the
statistics are out and studied by other
races and nations, it will mean much
to the analysis Of the so-called race
problem. We are today making his
tory. What is that history? Is it
such that our children can point to
1T with pride. II not here is the place
for correction; besides it is duty we
owe future generations to say moth
! ing Of the present. When the cnu-
merator comes around, answer the
questions carefully and fully, that q
correct census may be taken.
Let 1t be moved, seconded, and car
ried by unanimous vote, that every
avenue for disseminating knowledge
be employed that justice be done the
, race in taking the census Of 1910.

tteaf and substantial growth

not only our increase of real estate
holdings, not In our business ventures
not In the ever increasing numbers
of our public school teachers and not
IN the number Of capable men that
come to us in the learned professions.
These things often work to the dis
advantage Of a people; they often
tend to foster a class spirit; they Of
ten develop a barrier between people,
instead of broadening and making
smooth the path that leads to their
happiness as. whole"
The real and substantial growth
or rise OF a people is to be found in
the realization on the lnrt of the
strongest members and the most en-
frightened among them of the facts
that the gifts they possess and their
accomplishments are but oDDortuni-

better the condition Of the weak ones

having found he thinks, the back door of Seat

this daring adventure Cayton we imagine, will be IN

even profess to love him. But their chosen rep
resentative in the senate. Bah! Just watch them!
And yet Cayton is an undeniable good citizen and
man of brains. Certainly he is no fool of an editor
Be it understood at this time H. R. Cayton is not
candidate because he is coored man, but because he
is Republican and he is going to make his campaign
on that platform and if he is defeated he will take
for granted that some other Republican suited the
voters better than he, but under circumstances will
he lay his defeat to his color
