In his thirteenth annual address to
the Negro Business league at Chicago.
as reported In the Tuskegee Student.
DR.. Booker T. Washington said. with
regard to business openings In the
south:
This is an era Of specialization
and organization. Our race should
take heed Of this and act. To be
more specific. there are places in the
south for 5000 additional dry goods
stores, and there are colored people
enough to support them. In the south
the negro merchant is not dependent
upon the trade Of his own race alone,
but throughout the south. while there
is prejudice In other directions. In
business the negro has little prejudice
to contend with along this line, Not
only the colored man trades at the
colored mans dry goods store, but the
best white people are not afraid to
patronize flrst-class negro store; and
the same thing IL true Of other bust.
ness enterprises owned and controlled
by colored people.
There are openings in the south
for at least 5000 additional grocery
stores. for $500 drug stores. There
are openings in the south for 1000
shoe stores, 1900 millinery stores;
and there are communities in the
south where 1000 negro banks can be
operated and supported. Further than
this, there are places in the south
where twenty-five self-governing, self
supporting, self-directing towns or
cities may be established, where the
mayor, their own board of aldermen,
their own self-government from every
point OF view. In the last analysis,
local self.government is the most
precious kind Of government"
Trade follows the demand at home
no doubt or shadow of turning about
that For every trade opening In white
settlements there are half-dozen ap-
plicants for the available store space,
and when it is once taken 1t Is hard
to get the owner out OF it, as the
AOA6SI lag ACL1cAho HI IL IhC AAOI voAu-
able as business place it should be-
come to him, and, therefore, to others.
This is true of large as OF small avail
able store space for business purposes.
White men understand this principle
thoroughly; negroes have yet to learn
it, having but recently made begin
ming, but the sooner they learn 1t
thoroughly the better for them. White
men are neither ashamed nor afraid
to go into negro communities, pre-
empt the store space, and, beginning
in a small way, gather to themselves
the trade. When they have done it
it is hard, very hard, for wouldbe
belated negro tradesmen to get them
out of the district and they often
bankrupt themselves In the effort.
II the negroes do not take advan.
tage Of the trade opportunities in the
south DR.. Washington points out as
waiting for them white men will,
do It, 1t does not matter II the oppor-
tunity is a small one; take advantage
of 1t and make the most Of it.-New
York Age.

AN EXPECTED OUTCOME.

As expected. the Michisan contest
was decided by the national Republican
committee yesterday in favor Of Presi-
dent Taft. The Roosevelt case was a
nimsy one and 1t is doubted whether
any Of the Roosevelt men harbored the
slightest thought that they could wiz
on such arguments as they had to pre-
sent
The Michigan Taft leaders claimed
the Taft delegates-at-larg were elect
ed in regular convention; that even
with the Wayne and Calhoun county
delegations given to Roosevelt Taft
would still have had a majority mas
much as the Taft delegates were
chosen by vote OF 900 to 7S; that the
rump convention held by the Roosevelt
followers was irregular in every par
ticular, the only business transacted
being the election Of delegates; that
the absence of rules governing the
state central committee and the pre-
cedent Of national committee rules gave
the Taft forces authority for proce-
dure; that tickets were regularly sup
piled in perfectly proper manner and
every effort made To get tickets to be-
lated delegates; and that the conycn-
ton doors were shut only once and
to save life when a jam was threat
ened.
These arguments were presented to
the national committee yesterday, and
they were accepted. by a vote Of 81
to l6 against the claims of the Roose-
welt adherents that the Wayne and
Calhoun delegations were fraudulent;
that the rump convention was regular.
that the meeting Of the state central
committee before the convention was
irregular. since Chairman Knox did not
call the meeting; that the distribution
Of tickets to the convention hall was
discriminatory; and that the doors
were shut in the face of the Roose-
veltisns.

NO STEAM ROLLER.

Without doubt the talk about the
steam roller" is childish. The mem
hers Of the Republican National Com
mittee are not all for Taft Some OF
them, as everybody knows are for
Roosevelt: but whether they are for
Roosevelt or for Taft has nothing TO do
with their duty as honest men in de-
Gliding between contestants for seats in
the national convention Of the Repub.
lican party. Their function i'm this mat
ter is judicial. What they have to do
is to examine the evidence and to is
sue credentials to those who are shown
by the evidence to deserve them.
or course II the members OF .he com
inittee refused to pay heed to the eva
dence and solidly voted for the sides
they respectively prefer. the decisions
at which they arrive would be repre-
sentative not OF the facts but Of their
own wishes. In that case Il would not
be unfair to talk OF the steam rol +
ler."
IL happens, however, that the COM
nittee has been paving strict atten-
tion TO the evidence. IL happens that
in several of the contests members of
the national committee have received
different impressions from the testi-
mony, and have followed these impres-
sions in their voting irrespective OF
whether their own side or the other
side would be benefited by the decision.
In the case of the Ninth Alabama dis
trict, decided by a vote OF thirty ght
to fifteen two Taft men. Rosewater
and Lowden, voted with the Roosevelt
men, while one stanch Rooseveltian,
