THE rRoTTER POUND PARTY.

So far down in the scale of pros
perity has the Boston Guardian fallen
that friends of Editor Trotter are So
liciting funds to recompense him for
the heroic sacrifices which have been
made by him and his family and to
keep the Guardian going to champion
the cause of our race and humanity
in general" Pride goeth before fall
easy to read the downfall of the high
hopes that Trotter had that his doc
trines and his paper would find ample
financial support. 1t is not our pur-
pose to discuss the Trotter principles,
but whether one agrees with him or
not, it seems to us to be a clear con-
fession of inadequacy when they do
not find support enough to live. The
raising of funds for the Guardian, out
side of the legitimate channels through
which newspaper can be supported
convicts him of poor business quail
ties, or convicts the race of lack Of
appreciation of its worth. 1t seems
to us to be a first requisite of busi-
ness, whether newspaper, restaurant,
lodge or even church, that it be self
sustaining. 1t is commercial incom-
potency which is our most serious
handicap. Even though we were to
grant that Trotter was right, we
should still doubt his usefulness to the
race SO long as his business is fail
ure and his prominence in fighting
for manhood rights, only serve to
bring out the more clearly his inabil-
ity to measure up to the standards
set for success.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1911-07-01
There is growing disposition in

There is a growing disposition in
Denver to deny to colored people ac.
commodations at soda fountains and
the like. 1t happens to be fact that
the growth of prejudice has been an
incentive to Negroes to make the most
OF their opportunities SO that it has
not been an unmitigated evil. In the
recent cases of additional proscrip-
ton, as is usual, the improper act of
members of our race is the cause as
signed. In one case it was the ten
dency of colored customers to visit
after they have purchased what they
wish.
Colored people should remember
white customer can visit and it go
unnoticed a colored visitor is easily
distinguished and there is percent
age of people sufficiently prejudiced
to shun the store that permits it. The
whole proposition of lettering around
places of business is wrong. Whether
it be a colored business or white
one, spend your money and go about
your business, if your time is not
worth anything, the other persons is.
At any rate, it looks shiftless to waste
life. Whether restrictions grow
greater or less, regardless of preju-
dices, our own good sense tells us to
make the best use we can of our
strength, our brains and our time.
Persons who idle about us and inter-
fere with us, are trespassers.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
CENTENARY CELEBRATION.
Public Exercises Held In Many sse-

Public meetings for the celebra ton of
the centenary Of Mrs Harriet Beecher

lions of the country thus far this
month by Afro-Americans who appre
ciate the work which Mrs. Stowe did
in creating public sentiment against
slavery. Such meetings are eminent

dom and personal liberty should revere
those who with pen. money. sword
and personal influence helped to break
down and destroy the unjust traffic in

In America.
Perhaps the most uota BILE meeting OF
the many was the one held in Faneuil

cessfully by Afro-American women IN

coworkers were prime movers of the
celebration In which many distinguish
ed persons took part among whom
were the Hon. Joseph G. Manning OF
Alabama. Mr. Frank Sanborn. Profess
sor A. B. Hart of Harvard college. Mrs
Agnes Adams. Miss Gardner and Mr..
Brigham. The office OF the Boston
Guardian at II Cornbill street. where
Garrison published the Liberator. was
the Mecca and headquarters of a con.
slant throng of visitors throughout the
centenary festivities.
Mr.. Manning in the exordinm of his
great speech said: ''It makes the
hearts of colored people ache to see
the federal government going abroad
to protect Americans and offering no
protection to Americans who need II
right at home. No foreign government
would do worse TO its own or American
citizens than the American govern
ment is doing to its own citizens by
stealing the vote from them.

WHEREFORE UNIVERSITY
GETS BIG APPROPRIATION.
Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State
Aid For Noted School.

Wilberforce. O.-The seventy-nintb
assembly of the Ohio legislature which
recently adjourned was quite severe
upon most of the educational institu-
lions which usually receive financial
aid from the state. Wilberforce uni
versity was the only school whose ap
preparation for 1911-12 was not cut be-
low that for the previous year. There
are twenty-six state institutions for
which the legislature was required to
make appropriations. Out OF the TWEEN
ty-six all but one suffered cuts In their
estimates for the next two years
On taking charge In the fall of 1910
Professor A. A Joiner installed a new
and improved system of accounts for
Wilberforce university and suggested
change in the method of submitting es-
Inmates for the appropriations with the
result that the appropriation for 1911
and 1912 almost doubles that obtained
for 1909 and 1910.
There are four educational institu-
lions in the state for which the legis.
lature appropriates. Wilberforce is
one of these institutions. The three
white colleges had their appropria tons
more than cut in half, while the
amount asked for Wilberforce was al
lowed to the last cent
The special appropriations amount to
&01. .22O.O0: the pro rata Of the general
levy due Wilberforce for the two years
will be $4,000. This added to the spe-
cial appropriations makes for Wilber-
force $137. .72O.80 for 1911 and 1912
Some Of the notable increases are a.
follows: The appropriation for 1910
was $1,000. for 1911. $4,000; appro-
prtafi0n for industries for i010 was
8ANOO. for 1911 1t was x8.4lz.85. but
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1911-07-01

probably the most important increase
both as to amount and Significance to
the plant at this time is the increase
in the amount obtained for repairs and
improvements which are badly needed
upon the buildings and grounds.
The appropriation for such purposes
for the two preceding years was $500:
the amount carried by the present ap-
preparation for such purposes is SlS.-
600. or just ten times the amount
which was available for the past two
years. Many of the buildings are much
in need of repair and much improve
ment on the grounds will be made pos
sible
But the work has not all been done
on the outside. Every teacher who is
now receiving less than $75 per month
has been slated for an increase for
next year.
