George replied with solemn. re-.
buke for such careless business meth.
DDS. Upon this, Churchill; whose
worst enemy has never accused him
OF lack Of Confidence in the infallibil-
lily of his own judgment, is said to
have responded tartly that the Kings
business was to sign what papers his
Ministers laid before him. and that 1t
really made no particular difference
whetherfhe ever read any OF them
Instantly, SO tile gossips say. His
Majesty bounded out Of his chair with
a flow Of that language he learned In
his early days in the Royal Navy, and
ordered Churchill out of-the place
ordered him to; stay out. too, as long
as George v. was on the throne.
/ Churchill is not the only one OF
King Edward s favorites who has prac-
tically been banished from court. Most
OF them, though, saw what was COM
ing and went Of ,their. own accord, Sir
Ernest Cassel, Edwards intimate and
business manager, Is utterly discred-
ited. Those who used to go to him on
Bonded knee for. social advancement,
now. cut him In Cotton Row. Sir
Thomas Upton will not come near the
court again; he Is too shrewd to ex.
pose himself to a certain snub. Lord
Marcus Beresford maintains a dis
Greet retirement among his horses at
Newmarket. Mrs George Keppel has
gone for q voyage around the world
that will occupy two years. Mrs. Hall

brewer and racing king, Is staying
quietly at her country home. 1T
The old, staid nobility has come
back into its own. The court Is ex-
actly as 1t was under Victoria, fifty
years ago. AT Balmoral all the lights
go out at 1880 at night. In the even.

GOSSIP AND ADVICE FOR THE
sS WORLD OF WOMEN.

q No woman can preserve her beauty
unless she makes up her mind not to
i acquire certain mannerisms or to give
them up If she has already become a
slave to the tricks and habits that so
manifestly mar her appearance. S
The woman who is perpetually
browning whether from temper or
from mere habit OF brooding contem-
.plation. will see her forehead dlsflg-
ured Sby two upright lines which in
time viii become so indellbly fixed
that even massage will not remove
them.
Should these lines be the outcome
Y OF a continual giving way to anger.
The Disagreement will spread to the
cheeks and the corners Of the mouth,
for no emotion is so destructive to
I beauty as continual outbursts of pas,
slonate rage. Therefore, let every
woman keep continual guard over
her emotions and over her facial
tricks. II she wishes ito preserve her

OFFICE BY POSTMASTER
GENERAL.
Offered Better Job
But Keys, who has endorsements of
leading whites, is pretty we'll sat-
isfled where he is" and now it's up
to Hitchcock and national COM
mitteeman.
(From the New York Age

Ocean Springs, Miss. August 8
Thomas I. Keys, the Negro postmas-
ter Of this town, does not intend to
resign his position as suggested by
l.. B. Moseley, the National Commit
teeman Of this State, and Postmaster
General Hitchcock. The Postmaster
General has put it up to Keys, much
preferring to have him tender his
resignation voluntarily than sum-
marily dismiss him and thereby pro-
woke the displeasure of the Negro
voters throughout the country, who
have already formed the conclusion
that the Postmaster General is a
Lilly White" Republican when it
comes to the appointment of Ne
groes to office.
Now that Postmaster Keys has is
''sued an ultimatum that he will not
resign his. position at Ocean Springs,
1t remains TO be s.sen t1sst what steps
will !be taken by" the Post Office De
partment to remove him.
The first step to oust Keys as post
master took place some months ago
when l.. B. MoseIey, the National
Committeeman and referee in this
State, summoned Keys to his office
at Jackson, and told him that the
Presidents policy was not to ap-
point Negroes to office in the South.
Keys would not stop at this, and
filed his papers with tho depart
ments.
Some time late in March Keys re-
ceived a letter from Moseley re-
questing him to meet him in Wash
ington about April [. The postmas-
ter met him there and Moseley car
r1ed him to the office Of the Post
master General, who told him that
on account Of so much opposition to
such appointees in the South, he
could not appoint him, but told him
that Washington was a city where he
could educate his children, and if
he would give mp the candidacy for
the Ocean Springs post office he
would SECURE him a place in some Of
the departments in Washington with
a pay Of 81, 400 per year.
This Keys fatty refused, stating at
the time that there was no opposi,
ton Of consequence against him at
Ocean Springs that he had the en-
dorsement Of the Mayor, the lead
ing white Methodist preacher and
men OF that kind. Finally the
Postmaster General told him to re-
turn home, think the matter over
and write him. Keys has not writ

COUNTRY WASHINGTON TELLS
THE BUSINESS LEAGUE. -.
Race Makes Progress
And adds to wealth rapidly i'm states
of Georgia and Virginia while
new industries are financed with
Negro Capital and Carried on With
Negro labor.

New York, August 18, 191O-The
Eleventh Annual Meeting Of the Ma
tional Negro Business League met
yesterday in Palm Garden, this city.
Addresses Of welcome were made by
Hon. Geo. A. McAneny, President of
the Borough of Manhattan, and by
Hon. Chas. w. Anderson Collector
Of Internal Revenue for the Second
District Of New York
A very full prog1um for the three
days session has been arranged.
Booker T. Washington, President of
the organization, last night deliver
ed his annual address. He spoke as
follows:
Before uttering a single sentence
regarding any other subject, [ wish
to express the deep obligation which
the National Negro Business League
Is uader to the Negro press Of the
United States for the generous and
unfailing interest which it has taken
in this and in previous meetings Of
this organization. Were it not for
the generous space given to the af-
fairs Of this organization in the form
Of editorials and news items with
out question and without cost, it
would have been impossible for it to
have attained to it's present degree Of
success. Let no one doubt or ques-
ton in the future the value and in
fuence Of the Negro newspaper
Though 1t may be seemingly small
and insignificant sheet with limited
circulation reaching the people only
in one community, nevertheless ths
Negro paper has it's influence
More and more in the future than
has been true in the past, ] plead
with all the earnestness that car
command for the generous and con
slant support Of the Negro press
This support should come not only
| from the masses Of our people, bu
in the especial degree 1t should come
from the man Of education, from the
man who is engaged in some busi
ness enterprise. Such support, in al
increasing degree, / believe the Neg
! 70 press will have. There are few
! agencies which, together with tn
The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1910-08-18

church and the school, have exerted
greater influence in the uplift Of
our race than is true OF the Negro
newspaper, and often this influence
is exerted at they price of, poverty,
h hard work and seltaenial on the part
of the publishers. M,y,. 49,.
AS each delegate and visitor to
this League returns. to his home, I
hope he will carry with him a resolve
that In the future he will see to it
that his local Negro newspaper has
his hearty support and cooperation,
1t is serious matter to bring
from all parts Of our country as
many men and women as are present
at this meeting Of the League. Each
one has come here, at considerable
cost in time and money. These meet
lngs will fail Of their purpose unless
each individual comes here with a
serious purpose, comes not only with
the ldea OF getting out of each meet
ing that which will improve him as
an individual, but even more import
ant that which he can take back and
use for the betterment of his own
community. Each one should come
with the idea of getting information,
methods and inspiration that will en-
able him to return to his home and
teach the people how to start ad-
d1tlonal industrial and business en-
terprlses and improve those which
are already In existence. Upon each
delegate here gathered, repeat,
there rests serious responsibility.
But to the text have chosen "To
him that hath shall be given,'
These lines spoken by the Master
strike the keynote for individual sue
cess, and equally so far racial sue
cess.
The chief object of the National
Business League to teach the Negro
the value Of the opportunities that he
possesses as well as the value OF the,
opportunities that are before him
Let us convince the world that we
nave opportunities and are conscious
OF them, and more opportunities will
come to us--mOrn openings for our
growth will appear.
TO him that hath shall Ibe given +"
IS the law Of lifo. On the other
hand, If the world become convince
ed that we hav" no opportunities,
that there i3 no future before us.
despair and death will follow and tho
opportunities that we have will dis
appear. The world is Interested in
the man who iS succeeding. The
world is Interested in Il race that IL
succeeding.
