Idays OF this week circulating among
old friends. He is an affable enter
taincr, an eloquent orator and his
winning personality has made for
him hest of friends during his
brief stay in the nations capital.
He mas been the recipient of mitch
social attention and number of
notable functions have been given in
ais nOn0r, Dir. HueStOn is a native
of Kentucky. Tho has gone out into
the growing West and made good"
For some time he has been the local
representative Of the Republican
committee inchargc Of tic interests
Of the cOlOred voters of Kansas
City and vicinity, and the Kansas
| City Star has made editorial COM
| ment upon his worth as a man and
a citizen who stands for the highest
ideals in thought, morals and the
practical solution of the everyday
problems that the race must meet.
Mr.. Hueston addressed the Y VI. c..
a. at Lexington, Ky, Sunday and
is working his way by easy stages
to his. home in Kansas City. While
III Washington he paid a visit to
President Taft and had very sat
isfactory interview with the Chief
Magistrate Of the nation. 1t is
worthy Of note that Mr.. Hueston is
one Of the very few colored leaders
who have visited Washington with
no desire for public Offices :.
Another visitor of0 prominence
who has made a good impression
upon Washington is Rev. s. G. Shaw,
presiding elder Of the Chicago-De-
troit district Of the A. NE. Zion
church. He came on from the com
mcncement exercises Of Livingstone
College at Salisbury, n. c., where he
had conferred upon hifn the degree
fof Doctor Of Divinity tDrs; Shaw
iprcached Sunday mornings af John
Wesley A. VI. T.. Zion church and in
the cvcsing he spoke at !Tripity He
is risiSS young man in his church
and there is a hint that his sermons
here were Of such a rare quality that
4 call will be made on Bishop Smith
to arrange for his coming here at
an early hate.-Df. Shaw is discovery
| favOrably mentioned in connection
with one Of the Offices that will be
6llcd by the Zion General Confer
cnrc at Charlotte in 1912.
1t Is expected that the bill to re-
lmbursc the dopostOrs Of the Free
men Bank will become q law at
this session Of Congress. The sup
port of the democratic members is
being brought to the measure, and
,h"y seem very favOrably disposed
toward it as the bulk Of the million
or more dollars appropriated will be
distributed throughout the southern
Estates among thrifty and indus
Itr1OuS class Of cOlored people who
VIII make good use Of it in develop
ing their farms and homes. The
Senate Committees voted to recon-
mend its passage and the House will
take similar action soon. TO make
assurance dOubly sure, every Negro
lOf influence should write his Con-
gresham and urge him to vote for
the measure when it comes up for
faction.
DENIAL IS again made that Emmett
). Scott, private secretary to DR..
Booker +. Washington, will rclin-
Gulsh his position at Tuskegee In
Su'ute to accept an important post
III Washington. Mr.. Scott sets at
rest all such gable by stating with
emphasis that there is no place open
70 linn at the nations capital that
he would have, and announces his
intention to stick to his life's work
the task Of uplifting the lowly in
'tho Black Belt Of the South and to
