trade and other commercial organiZa-
tions in matters affecting the welfare
of the people of the city.
During its short existence it has been
instrumental in doing certain things
that more than Justify its title. II is
really the vanguard of organizations In
the south among our people that point
the way to an amicable adjustment Of
differences and that get things for the
race from the powers that be.
The board of trade here occupies the
commanding position in the eyes Of the
people. and for the most part its man
dates have the force of law with the
people. Its leaders and officials are
called into counsel on all matters that
affect the colored people, and 1t keeps
acts as executive secretary and looks
after it's interests. which are the in-
terests of the colored people.
What the Board Has Accomplished.
The Negro board of trade Is regard
ed in all respects as an auxiliary of the
Nashville board of trade and has by
cooperation with the white organiZa
for colored people which cost $4,000
unimproved 1t has assisted in the
"city beautiful movement to the ex-
tent of cleaning up waste places in
communities and planting flowers and
trees. 1t has aided in the sanitary i'm
provemeut of localities and now has
In charge the matter of raising funds
for library site.
This latter proposition is purely vol
trade. The city has expressed itself as
willing to provide library site and
appropriate $500 annually for its
maintenance. This was in accordance
with the conditions made by Andrew
Carnegie. who has signified his willing
ness to give $4,000 for library for
the colored people Of this city.
The Nashville board of trade has
taken upon itself the task Of raising
$1,000 from among our people in this
city with which suitable site will be
purchased. In all these activities the
Negro board of trade has the active
leadership of DR.. r. F. Boyd. presi-
dent, who is also president of the Peo-
pies Bank and Trust company.
Mr.. ID. Wellington Berry serves as
secretary and looks after all the de
tails of the organization. Various mat
ters are attended to by division commit
tees, the executive committee being
headed by A. N. johnson. Other Of
hcials are A. s. Rucker. vice presi-
dent, and l. L. Moore, treasurer.

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-07-20

The daily papers of this city have
been relating the details of an as
sault upon a little girl. They have
been temperate and have been sin
eularly free from reports of prospec-
tive lynchings. They have not felt
called upon to deliver any long homi-
lies upon the depravity of any class
or race. The difference is noteworthy
between the treatment of this crime
and others in which Negroes are sup
posed to have been guilty. The mur-
ders, the purse-snatching, the at
tempted assaults of which blacks have
been accused, have been related in
red ink. The lurid imaginings OF
space-writing reporters have been
given full rein. Yet where a most
brutal crime against child is com.
mitted by a white man, there is no
furry, no excitement, no attempt to
work up lynching, and most remark.
able of all, man who is accused OF
the crime is permitted to be turned
loose because the child cannot iden.
tify him.
At the door of the American press
can be laid the greater part of the
blame for lynching.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-07-20
TOO MUCH MEDDLING.

After the people of Denver have ex-
pressed such an overwhelming choice
of the Citizens party and Mayor Ar
mold for their official for the next
four years, it is the part of fairness
and good sense for those who op-
posed them, from ex-Mayor Speer
down, to keep hands off, to give them
free rein to govern the city as they
see fit without interference. 1t is to
be expected that they will make some
mistakes especially in the beginning;
it is to be expected that there will be
some friction pending adjustment of
working forces However, neither of
these conditions gives excuse for per-
sons whom the people have repudiat-
ed, to point the finger of scorn in an
attempt to make themselves seem
holy by comparison. The city has a
right to relief from agitation that is
profitless and the Denver Times,
which is the organ of Robert Speer is
becoming a public nuisance by its
attempts to besmirch the new admin
istration. The people are not SO fool
ish that they do not see the motives
of the critics.
We do not wish to be considered as
'championing the cause of the Citi-
mon sense acquiscence in the will Of
the majority. The condemnation of
Michael Delaney will not hang any
laurel wreaths on the brow of the ex-
mayor nor furnish one single reason
fora change in the public estimate of
his administration
