how to make the home attractive and
how to keep girls and boys off the
streets. Other departments are poul-
try. home garden. flower lovers. quilt
ing and plain sewing. In the latter
department simple garments are made
for children and house aprons for busy
houSekeepers.
AT the Hampton institute farmers
conference. 1912, this latter depart
ment took first prize for the most
practical and convenient house aprons.
Instructions are given in cooking, rug
weaving and work among boys. A
country fair is held annually under the
management Of the Homemakers' club.
When we hear one speak of social
work one is apt to think only Of the
larger things with which it concerns
itself such as government. public
health. reforming of criminals. etc.
but in this organiZatio valuable So
ciai work is done il the home and i'm
mediate neiChborhood. and the meth
DDS and systems used are in reach of
every man and woman who Is inter-
ested in home improvement
In the plain sewing department many
simple garments are made for chill
dren out of old garments as well as
new cloth. These are a great help to
the childrep's welfare department in
carrying out its plan OF keeping the
children in school. These garments
are sold to parents for small sum
with the understa nding that such par
ents see to 1t that their children are
sent to school.
The work of the organization since
its inception has proved the wisdom Of
It's founder. 1t is supported for the
most part by voluntary contributions
and entertainments. Mrs. Harris Bar
yeti. besides having the management
of all of this work. is also president Of
tn. Virginia Federation of Colored
Women's Clubs, which is doing great
good among the masses Of people
throughout the state.
She is also second recording secre-
tary of the National Association of
Colored Women's Clubs. more dill
gent nnG painstaking woman would be
hard to find In any organizat ton. Hamp-
ton is proud OF her. as 1t also Is of hum
dreds OF graduates scattered through
out the country, so that 1t may be just
ly said that Notwithstanding the many
industrial schools and institutes for
higher learning for colored people
Hampton Institute is the mother Of
them all.

ed about twenty years ago by Mrs.
Harris Barrett. graduate Of Hamp-
ton institute in the class of 1884. The
work. which began with a few girls
of the immediate neighborhood. has
reached out into every section of the
community. There are clubs and
grandmothers. Sessions are held every
afternoon and evening eight months in
the year.

assembly from the Thirty-fifth assem-
bly, district a considerable stir was
caused in Harlem politics. Should
Mr.. Anderson be successful in his am
bition-and it Is hoped he WILT will
be the first time that the colored popu-
lation in New York will have a mem
ber of their own race In the legisla-
tive halls at Albany.
Mr.. Anderson. who has been resi-
dent Of New York for the last twenty
nine years, has taken an active inter
est in all matters pertaining to the bet
tering OF municipal conditions. He
established the Amsterdam News on
Dec. 4, 1909. and ever since this week
ly publication, which is alive with the
news of the day, has made strong
headway.
Mr.. Anderson was for a time the as
sistant sexton in Henry Ward Beech
er's church in Brooklyn. and that not
ed divine took great interest in the
young coored man who was member
of his congregation. During the twen-
ty years that Anderson has been an
active figure in public life he has taken
a considerable interest In literary and
debating societies. He has always
worked for the improvement of human
conditions. and this work he will con-
tinue in greater degree should he be
honored with the election to the as
sembly.
This aspirant for political honors
stands squarely for equal protection for
all and special privileges to none. He
fnI1 to nf
the other day that in case of nomina-
ton and election he will not only look
after the rights and interests of his
own people. but will fight for the wei
fare of the people in general.
1t is no more than right that mat
ters coming before legislative discus
sions in reference to the privileges of
the colored people should be debated
by a representative Of their own class
Mr. Anderson realizes perhaps more
than many others that there are many
local matters relating TO the colored
population In this city that need i'm
mediate attention.
With a stalwart representative in Al
bany the colored citizens here could
rest assured that they would receive
body. The colored man needs more OF
political and industrial recognition.
and by placing one Of their own race
in the lawmaking body the colored vot-
ers would acquire more civic pride. to
which they are entitled.
Mr.. Anderson is man of broad
ideas. and it would be difficult to find
q more level headed man from the
Thirty-fifth assembly district than this
| aspirant for the position of assembly
| man.
This district can boast of over 6.OOO
colored votes. which would be more
than necessary for the election of Mr..
Anderson. who is a Republican candi-
date. 1t is to be expected that both
Republicans and Democrats will rally
to his support. and in doing SO they
would display good judgment

The Pearl Barber Shop, located at
929 Twenty-first street, is one of the
most complete and up-to-date tom
sorial parlors in the West. The pro-

of service in this line of work speak
louder than anything we might say in
his behalf. Everything sanitary. Call

New York.-The following statement
in Il recent issue of the Mercantile and
Financial Times, published in this
city, concerning the political aspira-
hons of James 81. Anderson, founder
and editor in chief of the Amsterdam

notice. The subject is worthy Of the
tribute. and the facts are not in any
wise overstated. The Times says:
