There are two phases of race pat
ronage business to which sufficient
prominence has not been given. The
negro business man must be prepared
to do business. Second, in our fervor
to patronize him we ought not to
change up suddenly. and quit while
head over heels in debt to him. More
negro business men have been wreck
ed in this way than in any other.
Trusted friends have been, extended
credit, and when they got in good and
strong have quit apparently by COM
mon understanding and gone back to
-'de white folks" Quit If you will.
but quit in good standing If you are
not going to do this, don't start

The most dangerous negro in the
community is the negro who "tattles"
to white folks. Generally that type OF
negro is untrustworthy and unreli-
able. He is menace to society and
the community in which he lives. We
have discovered long ago that much
of the trouble which arises at times
between the races can be traced to
this class of negroes.-Alexandria
(Va.) Advance-Messenger
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-17

The negro must take more serious
ly to heart the fact that he Is COM
pared to the whites, not making show
enough. He has the education and
the money and therefore is without
excuse for not doing more in the ma
terial world. Here in Dallas, he has
more churches and schools than any
thing else. This is not true of the
white man. He has more factories,
stores, shops, and other bread-winnins
labor-using enterprises than churches
and schools. He reasons that his off
spring must have a means of support
"a way to get what is needed for
earthly comfort before going into the
heaven and hell business, and we are
much of the opinion that the black
man might profit by his example. Let
us establish a few more enterprises
which offer us means of livelihood,
for If we do not live we will not
need anything in this world-and
blame little in the world to come.

The negro must come into his en-
joyment of the wealth, the culture, the
freedom and the opportunities and
privileges of American life, along
with the white American. share and
share alike, in full payment of the i'm
piled obligation assumed with his
adoption into the country. or Amer

The negro citizens of Nashville have
cause to feel proud Of the progress
that is being made by our energetic

The skilled statisticians who spend
so much of their time on percentages
have discovered that the colored peo-
pie did not increase as fast as the
white people did, the past ten years.
Now please put your ear to the ground
and hear the approach of the crowd
who have found that the colored race
is dying out What we have never
been able to learn is where in the
dell the joy comes from in thinking
of the colored race as a dying race.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-17

With the colored man, religion is
still reality-a pretty costly one of
course-rather than a diverting recre-
alton as it is with some other folks.
Isn't 1t rather an ominous symptom
that in every town or city where the
negro lives, he has five times as
many churches-non-prod plants
as he has stores and other places
of business? With the whites whom
we so closely and often so foolishly
imitate-it is just the other way.
Again the bulk of negroes are more
concerned about fine churches than
they are about fine or comfortable
homes And in this respect we pre-
sent striking variation from the
line of conduct of the man whom we
initiate. The ruling passion of one
is fine churches here and good
home in the sweet perhaps. With the
other it is a good home first, here
and now, and fine church as an in
cident.-"Old Hickory"

The census returns for 1900 show
that there is in New York city for
eign born white population of 1861
918. From the color of them, as we
observe them in all sorts, places and
conveyances, more than half<of them
appear to be mulattoes, and twice as
numerous as the census numbers give.
Where did they get their red, brown

State fairs, mostly of the agricul-
tural character, have always been pop
ular among all sorts of people in the
old world and the new world. In
Asia they are called bazars. The me-
gro state fairs of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia have be-
come annual and very helpful in char
acter. They show the white and col
ored white people what the black and
colored black people are doing as in

WHAT SLEEP is TO THE BABY

bly, once in the night to insure a good
sleep and good digestion; he should be
fed one hour before his bedtime and
kept awake for the remaining time,
This will let the digestive organs work
with activity that charaeterizes waking
hours.
Above all. the point of regularity In
sleeping should be adhered to-. Any
erratie scheme cannot fail to affect
the health of a baby. Parents have a
right to give up their own time to q
carrying out of a sensible plan in the
first few years of a baby's life.

absolutely necessary In order that the

means quick repair of wornout tissues
and quick growth of all. Any parent

The great restorer of natures Is one
OF the most important questions of the
infants life. A few mothers seem not
to realize the Influence, or the lack of it,
has on the physical welfare of their
little ones. The main business of a
tiny baby is sleeping. There should be
Il brief time of bathing, feeding and
senerl care of the body: but eighteen or
twenty hours out of every twenty.
four should be passed In good, healthy
sleep. This rule holds good even up to
9 months; when a child Is a year old,
fifteen hours will be sufficient.
Since 1t Is the baby's business to
sleep, a restless. ~fretful, sleepless baby
has something radically wrong with it's
health or training. Or there may be
conditions that affect his comfort. and
therefore initiate against proper Sleep
ing. If your baby cannot sleep. inves

The training should begin at birth

gent and loving adult consider the fu-

sometimes be dubbed "heart1esS, >

is mostly a bundle of nerves. muscles
and bones. Its feelings cannot be hurt;
its daily routine can be made a mat
ter of habit, and it will not ,expect
what IL is not given.
Avoid the rocking to sleep of which,
the poet sings and which has done
more to burn midnight oil and gas than
any other ~thougbtless attention. The
baby will cry. II he has been fed, If
the bed Is comfortable and the venti-
lation and temperature right-in other
words. If he cries just for attention and
q little m~otion-the best thing to do
is to let him cry. Refuse to let him
associate crying with rocking. Let
this happen a few times, and nature,
in her inexorable habit-forming way.
