market. It's being a poor argument
Is PROOF positive that Fred Patter-
son did not use it. AS a matter of
fact the articles sent out with the
patterson trade mark have general
ly proved better than the salesman
has claimed.
with the knowledge Of what his
rather tried to do, with the
knowledge Of his fathers aims and
ambitions, young Patterson threw In
his fortunes in the very plant where
that rather had succeeded in educat-
ing his children, by dint Of much
toll and effort and worry.
he realized his fathers mistakes;
his own shortcomings. All sensible
men vii agree that just at this point
the battle was half won. HE faith
er's early death and that Of another
brother left the whole burden upon
him.
A visit to Greenfield, noting the
esteem in which this young man is
held, the mammoth plant he has
erected, filling orders here, there,
IN New York State, in Kentucky, in
Alabama and Mississippi and Tennes-
see' and competing for business in
the Ohio market as we'll, prompts
one to inquire how has he done itY
while he did not go into business
as black man and does not bear
the trade mark Of the color line, he
has not been strong enough to per
away from the "reproach Of Egypt"
He finds himself frequently face to
lace to face with the limitations cast
around the black man.
1T has been pointed out that he
was not In line Of business where
Dlack men had to patronize him
Neither did white men, and in order
to get them to do So he has had
10 denver the goods. He is confront
ed by that peculiar, yet equally force
1ul Northern brand Of race prejudice,
work all Negroes in his plant for
work all negroes in his plant for
OBVIOUS reasons; for reasons equally
obvious, he could not work all white
men.
he has succeeded in working both
white and black men, side by side
IN a community and manufacturing
center where his is the only plant
working black men at all, and there
has yet been no indication of fric-
ton.
His plant now assumes goodly pro.
portions; his business more so, the
latter extending practically to every
state in the Uunion and our Island
possessions. He employs about thir-
ty-five mechanics, making all kinds
of vehicles. Many of his best and
most improved vehicles carry his
own patents, some of which are used
by other concerns on the royalty
basis. His plant occupies three
buildings, using eight floors, doing
an average business Of $4,000 an
nually.

Academy during the fiscal year;
second, Of enlisted men whose fit.
hess for promotion shall have. been
determined by competitive examina.
tion; third, Of candidates from civil
life selected by competitive
Examination from those designated
by the War Department."
Now, can DR.. Waldron cite a single
case where a colored enlisted man
has applied, taken and passed the
examination and then failed Of pro
motion because he was colored? If
he can, he ought to- be the first to
call the Presidents attention to that
specific case. Or, can DR.. WaldrOn
recall single case where a colored
enlisted man has applied to take the
examination, meeting all ,prelimin-
airy qualifications, and was refused
opportunity to take the examination
because OF color? If he can, it Is
his duty to remind the President of
the specific case, and it is not doubt
ed that right will prevail as swiftly
as in the case in which Jewish en-
listed man figured.
There is recalled but two instanc-
es where colored enlisted men have
regularly applied, taken and passed
the examination for commissioned
officer The ese men weIe john e.
Green, Gath Infantry, and BENJAMIN
o. Davis, 9th Calvary Both men
were appointed and are now COM
iniSsioned officers.
The failure of colored enlisted
men to be "ordered" to take the cx-
animation for promotion is tnelr
CWn, because they have failed TO
apply, and not the result Of discrtm-
i"ation or oversight on the par: Of
tne President.
The attention Of the fa'r-minde.
pl;i lie is called to the fact that all

lengthy, it was well-received by the
audience.
At the outset of his address, he
said that the race had always
been true> to the best interests Of
this country and that the progress
made during the past fifty years had
been phenomenal.
'There is no phase OF American
civilization" he went on to say. '%fn-
to which we are not honestly strug-
Cling to enter. Therefore, 1T Is abb
solutely necessary that our youths
apply themselves to the task OF Sc
curing every kind Of education;
whether higher, industrial or techni-
cal. Each one should be pushed as
far as his conditions and his incli-
nations permit him to go. The thing
upon which the greatest stress
should be placed is that this eduea-
ton, whether higher, technical, vo-
cational or industrial, should. be
such as to fit the recipient for the
greatest usefulness in life : He
should not only strive to do we'll,
but to do his best-all that his entire
being is capable Of encompassing.
Whenever injustice and wrong
have caused our race to suffer In
convenience and disadvantage. such
restrictions have invariably served
as an inspiration and an incentive
for greater achievement in some di-
rectiOn. If, In the end, segregation
laws, unjust, invidious and wrong
ful as they may be, are thrust upon
us, we should make every effort to
turn the result Of their execution to
our own advantage. Places of bus.
iness should be established within
such district or territory whore
every necessity and every luxury,
whether it be food or raiment, may
be purchased by our people. We
shall thus be filling the Golfers OF
our own merchants and tradesmen
and at last reap the benefit from cer-
tain people in this city to rid them
selves Of our presence"
He ended by advising the grad
yates to cultivate habits of perse-
verance and industry, as we'll as the
esteem Of tho community.

Jackson College
Has New President
COLORED MAN PLACED AT HEAD
OF MISSISSIPPI- INSTITUTION
in ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY
+ OH BAPTIST HOME MISSION So
CIETY.

jackson, Miss, June FIN
Keeping with it's policy Of turning it's
large Negro schools over to the
management of Negroes as soon as
practicable, the American Baptist
Home Mission Society has recently
named Prof. u. II. Hubert of At
lanta, president of Jackson College,
located at this place. This fact to-
gether with the installation of Prot.
John Hope as President Of Atlanta
Baptist College, and the turning ov-
er of the new Roger Williams Uni
versity to Negroes gives the society
a warmer place in the hearts Of the
colored people Of the South, whom
they have for so long time helped
and educated.
Prof. Hubert, who is one Of tht
most advanced representatives Of the
young educated Negro succeeds DR..
Luther G.. Barrett, who was presi-
dent FOR seventeen years: BY his
coming, and all Negro faculty will be
in charge Of the work Of Jackson
College. The new president was
born and reared in Georgia, anu
understands thoroughly the econom-
ic and educational needs of his peo-
pie.
He is an alumnus Of Atlanta
Baptist College, the Massachusetts
Agricultural College and Boston
University. His experience as a
teacher in the State Agricultural
College Of Florida and his long bus
mess connection with the Home
Mission schools Of Atlanta com,
mended him to the Society, as the
man peculiarly fitted to take up this
work in Mississippi.
A faculty of cultured men and
women from the best schools Of the
country comes with him to take up
this important work, and the grad
uatcs and students Of the institutio
have every reason to feel assured
that its former high standards are
to be maintained and that the work
goes forward with renewed life.
. in addressing body Of educa-
tors today, Prof Hubert declared
that corporations should be the
slogan Of all the schools in the state
Of Mississippi for the education Of
Negro youth, and that while each
should have IS particular field Of
activity, meeting such needs as its
constituents demanded, they should
fill common purpose in the forma-
ton Of Christian character by the
unificatiOn Of effort.
'None Of us can say that be-
cause we are cOlored, and that be-
cause we have a colored president
and a color"d faculty at Jackson
College, that we ought to be appre-
ciatcd by our people," he said.
ct IS only merit that counts. If
we can show the people; if we can
show the state that we are worthy,
we will have their confidence; If nof,
We deserve to fall"
In addition to the college work
Jackson College has always done
Prof. Hubert plans to teach modern
methods in expert farming, domestic
! science and business methods to the
end that young people can be wei
fitted for useful service in life.

Baltimore, Md, June 28-Mayor
James III. Preston received silent re-
buke for neglecting to shake hands
with the graduates Of the Colored
High School, when Miss Rosa Lin
berry, one Of the sixty-two members
of the graduating class practically
forced him to shake hands with her,
and was uproariously applauded by
the large audience that crowded the
Academy of Music last Friday night.
The mayor had attended each Of
the commencements Of the white
nigh schols, and was reported in the
daily papers as having shaken hands
with each of the graduates. tt has
been the custom with mayors fors
some time past to shake hands with
graduates and the members Of this
years class of the Colored High
| School were anticipating q continu-
ance Of the custom. Principal Ma
son A. Hawkins was calling OF. the
names of each graduate, who, was
then presented the diploma. :, ,..... -.
TO the surprise Of everyone the
first three Or four received their di=
plomas from the hands Of the mayor
without his offering to shake hands.
When Miss Linberry's turn came,
she advanced to the front, slipped
her right hand into that Of the city's;
chief executive and received her
diploma with her other hand. AS
the mayor gave very slight shake,
the theatre shook with applause.
Each of the other members Of the
class, it is needless to state, were,
'pumphandled" little by the may
