BUSINESS ESSENTIALS.
Right Choice. knowledge and Effi-
cheney Necessary to Success.
nv N. NIT DODsON.

With public and high schools,
academies. colleges and universities.
agricultural schools, farmers institutes
and local business leagues in all sec
dons of the country there is no rea-
sonable excuse for any one remaining
ignorant. Efficiency is the watch
word of the times. Competition Is
close. and therefore business methods
are more exacting than they were
decade ago.
In every ambitious movement In
business. society. church. state or ma
ton there is n striving for the mastery.
and the person that is not willing to
make the sacrifice necessary to make
his line of work compete with or excel
his competitor will have to be satisfied
with second. third or the last place
in the line of commercial endeavor or
what not. There should be no middle
ground in business. no motionleSS pc
riod. for unrest is written on the door
post of every reputable business estab-
lishment.
While some of our strongest and
longest established business concerns
have either failed or ceased to exist
for other reasons. the great bulk of
Afro American industry remains solid.
Some have gone under because of lack
of funds. others doubtless on account
of being in the hands of inexperienced
persons In either case there Is
lesson for the coming business man.
who, If wise. will use these drawbacks
as stepping stones upon which ne will
rise to success in the business world.
Again. many persons fail in life be
cause of wrong choice One should
consider well the kind OF business he
wishes to enter. the character and
possibilities FOR its development and
his knowledge of and ability to con-
duct the business which he chooses.
These are essentials of the first I'M
portance Many persons so into busi-
ness simply because they see others
succeeding along certain lines without
reference to any or either OF the fore
going necessary qualifications. This
Is mistake which is bound to result
fatally, leaving encouragement II not
disaster in Its wake.

more sacred and greater instrument
for the uplift of the people of our
race. The moral standar dof wife
and motherhood must always be high.
It is our duty to insist that our wives
stand on the very highest plane of
~ N y<nnfl tAon- -Sne m,as& see to Il
that no man. white or black shall be
tolerated who attempts to tear down
the virtue and character of our wom-
en-.
I'VE also demand that the father
also come up to the standard. no man
has right TO demand a greater de-
gree of virtue or character of his wife
than he is willing TO live up TO.
Il am one OF those Negro men who
stand with women, with a whip in
hand to lash the men to a higher
plane of manhood 1t takes two par
ents to make the moral standard of
home what it should be.
We insist that the same kind of
education that is given to white boys
and girls must be given to black boys
and girls
We believe in industrial e/Ication
but no more for our boys and girls
Of other races. A proportion of all
races should be industrially educated.
The Caucasion, the Chinese. the Jap
anese. the German, the Negro and all
other races and nationalities should
have some that have an industrial
Training but they need men and wom-
en- that are educated along other
lines.
No girl should be allowed to grow
to woman and motherhood without
knowing how to cook her own meals
and make her own clothes, she should
know ho VITO play on the wash board
as we'll as on the piano.
Before becoming candidate for a
mans hand she should know how to
mend his breeches. All work is hon
orable. See to it that the children
are educated in the public schools
and then educate according to the
genius portrayed. God calls black
smiths, carpenters. farmers and hod-
carriers as well as ministers of the
gospel and others engaged in profes-
sional work. Many who call them
selves professors should be mauling
rails. We must have leaders, we
mus, have lawyers. political lawyers.
wno are skilifui and fearless and who
viii defend us in our rights. The
time is coming and is fast approach
ing when we will have to contend as
men and women for our rights and
this must be done in an intelligent
manner. Some have said that this
Congress was organized for the pur;
pose OF promoting the interest Of
some political party. but just here let
us say, we are not in partisan poll
tics and are not here to promote the
interest of any political party but if
for any party, that party is the Negro
race.
1t is not the ambition of the Ne
gro race. east, west. north or south
to dominate in politics but it is his
ambition to participate.
II we are called upon to bare our
breasts to the shot and shell OF bat
tie and to pay taxes. 1t is our right
to participate in managing what we
have defended and are supporting.
Any man. whatever his politics. who
denies this is not patriot of these
United States. No patriot will deaert
the Negro who has given his life's
biood to defend his country.
We must educate our boys and
| boys and girls along all lines for God

police station, where he is examined
by a doctor and then sent home in

bill for the doctor and the cab is
sent to the publican who served the
man with his last drink.

MARRIAGE IN CONGO REGION
How the Young African Native Courts
and Webs His Dusky Ten
Dollar Bride.

A wife in the Congo region costs
$40. This sum is paid to the par
ents of the girl or to the man who
owns her as his slave. The girl sell
dom has any voice in the matter.
Sometimes, however, the couple wish
ing to be married make their own
bargain and then it Is an interesting
business. The young man seeks to
meet the darling of his dreams. But
how and where are the questions that
worry and puzzle him. Often he
takes refuge in the home Of the evan
gelist and gets him to write a note
for him. He then goes out, cuts a
stick and splits it at the top, puts
the letter in the split and hurries to
get a carrier.
When it is delivered he stands
around to see how it is received. If
it is ~favorably received a nice pot Of
food is cooked and sent to him. The
parties are then considered engaged.
A man can have as many wives as
he can buy. Isaw one man, a king,
who had 40. The marriage feast is
a ceremonious affair with the hea-
then. If the groom is wealthy all of
the drums, horns, bells, musicians
and dancing masters are hired to do
the bride honor. All of the luxuries
of the tropics, according to the ma
tive ideas, are in evidence at the
feast. l have known them to have a
hundred pots of food at a single we'd
ding Supper.-Southern Workman.

POSTUM BREEDING.

Mr.. lie Scout, curator of the Sgd
ney Geological gardens, has proposed
the breeding of opossums in Queens
land on systematic lines. The skin
of these little furry animals has be-
come so valuable that unless some
protection is accorded po8sums may
soon become extinct. Mr.. lie Scout
would select, he says, a site sheltered
from the westerly winds, as possums
like protection from the cold while
they are feeding. They do not like
to be disturbed, either, by the winds
shaking the branches while feeding.
The land should be fenced with six
foot galvanized iron to keep them
from climbing or jumping over.
