would have come into existence but for
the direct or indirect influence Of this
league.

PLY original, and whether we will OF
no, leads us at the other end OF his
string OF delightful phrases. In the
latest issue of his paper we find the
following addition to the never-endine
discussion Of the problem: The prob
lem Of what we are going to do with
the negro Is largely academic. It is "a
good subject for debate, for magazine
articles and political fanfare, but as
yet we have not gotten down to bed
rock and agreed that as q problem be
ought to be solved in the individual
conscience. In all things concerning
him we collectively treat him as some
thing in the aggregate. when, as mat.
ter Of honesty every white man should
treat each negro according as that ne.
gro stands for himself. The negro has
no trait exceptionally apart from any
other race In America, and as an indi-
vidual Is likely to reflect the influence
Of environment Just as do the units Of
every other race. The method Of
measurement is all wrong and as a
result the solution goes awry among
mass of misconceptions. One OF
these misconceptions is the idea that
negroes should not be employed where
they come In close contact with
white women. The urgency Of this
appeal sometimes becomes 80 fierce as
TO take the sound OF q shrek. But
it is really irresistibly laughable when
put to test. Social equality will come
out OF 1t some say. The negro will
force his attentions where not wanted,
exclaim others. But noting the aspect
Of the negro porters on the Pullman
cars toward white women passengers
aboard, where very frequently the
porter IL in sole charge, gives us
something to muse over at length. II

Little Rock, Ark.--One OF the most
forceful and enjoyable addresses heard
at the recent National Negro Business
league convention was delivered by
Prof. H. T. Healing. principal OF
Western university. Quindaro. Kan
Professor Healing was heartily ap-
plauded when he said: What the me-

gree, is the help OF his own kind. !
don't care how much inspiration comes
to us from other sources. Self-help,
self-reliance and strength must come
to us from seeing what our own people
are doing and what they can DO.
Professor Kealings address:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen.
There is one thing that is not de-
bated from this platform Except by
Bishop Cottrell, who has just preceded

business men, successful bankers,
prosperous farmers, capable editors
and the like, you have just had lib
