HOW TO MAKE BUSINESS.
Efficient Service snd Well Pre-
pared Copy the Keynote.


Albon L. Holsey. advertising
manager for the Crisis Magazine.
strikes the keynote to business
in the following advertising es-
say:
We hear much Of the "color
line." and. according to our am
bition and station in life. we
meet this national disgrace in a
more or less aggravated form.
But some one has said there is
no color line in business" and
we must admit there is some
truth in this statement.
If the best tailor in city was
a colored man his trade would
hardly be confined to colored peo
pie. for when it comes to the
matter of exchange of dollars
for work manship and service
most people are apt to forget
traditions and select the place
that insures them the best re-
turns for their money. theoret-
ically at least.
The colored tailor. grocer.
baker, contractor or persons en-
gagged in any line of business
endeavor fostered by skilled
wormanship have an equal
chance, because there is no un-
written law against white peo-
pie patronizing businesses of this
kind when conducted by our peo-
pie. Certainly they have an
equal chance to tell the general
public about their business. and
the man who tells his story in
the most convincing manner will
eventually get this business.
No prejudice can batter down
a business that enjoys the conf
dence of the people. and just
so high as the standard of quail
ity and service is raised in shops
conducted by colored people in
the same proportion will this
chance leave the theoretical and
approach the practical.
Our business men should put
such convincing arguments be-
fore the people as will create a
steady demand for their goods
and services. These advertise
ments should be carefully pre-
pared. should be conspicuously
placed and should be readable
and interesting.

Two-thirds of DR.. W. E. B. Du Bois'
speech before the universal races con-
gress, recently held in London, was
devoted to a comprehensive summary
of the history of the Negro race in
America. He outlined the conditions
under which slavery existed. gave the
statistics of population and discussed
the figures for health and crime.
He quoted the fact of the $500
lynchings in the last twenty five years
and showed that only one-quarter of
these colored men were even accused
of rape He gave brief outline of the
reconstruction period and dwelt on
the fact that the colored legislators,
whatever their faults. gave the south
the beginning of public school system.

AN OLD CROUCH.

It was generally known that he op-
poses dancing and that he scorns the
frivolous spirit that impels grown men
and grown women to put on holiday
attire and cut fantastic capers with
their feet. He can't understand how
a reasoning man can enjoy galloping
around and around and around on a
polished floor with his arms full Of
lady and his bald head rejecting the
subdued brilIiance Of the electric
lights Being an austere and rigorous
nationalist himself. the Signal critic
can not, of course, appreciate poetry
OF motion any more tnan he can mag
inc the joys of taxpaying. He thinks
all fun consists Of brain stunts. If the
truth were known, he probably admires
a man who can weigh the stars more
than one who can waltz all night with
out smashing his partners corns. Such
intellectual pinnsacles may be com
Portable for a leathery man like Editor
Lowry, but they do not appeal to those

CUT OUT PROFESSOR"

We give our hearty endorsement to
the following good suggestions from
the Weekly Pedagogue:
1--WE hope the committee on reso-
lutions at the Muskogee convention
will recommend that the title for the
head Of school Of few teachers is
not superintendent, but principal, and
that plain old fashioned Mister" take
the place OF Professor in addressing
the average teacher. In education no
land is so full of frauds and shams
as America, Towns Of four or five
hundred souls have a superintendent
OF schools. The name professor Is ap-
piled to the rural teacher, the dancing
master, and the barber Even the
names Of our institutions are mislead-
Ing, tending toward fraud and decep-
tion. Let us call pop-gun a pop-gun,
though everyone else Is calling It a
cannon. Let us hope that in Oklahoma
at least, the number Of bladders viii
diminish If not, let us have more
