Mr.. Big? Negro

equipments is only a flimsy
pretext for our own exper-
fence taught us the last few
months that after we had Sc
cured the services of first
class printer from Tuskegee
Institute, the best to be found
in the South, and had him to
come here and take charge of
the office we found to our sur
prise in many white Offices in
the city, where we had bust
ness, jobs there from our own
men which could have been
given to US; Offices which en-
ploy colored people only to
sweep and wash the cuspidors.
The fact Of the thing is too
m any of our people all over
the country have the white
mania like Jack Johnson who
are giving a death blow to
race enterprises. From what
appears the law of intermar-
riage, the separate segrega-
ton law seem to have been a
God send, for the race would
have been deserted and many
a Negroe woman would have
been without a Negroe hus-
band.
Following the same line of
reason. If the fool doctor
preacher, college president.
lawyer. dentist and all that
conccited fool class would be
treated by the race as they
treat their race namely, until
they became first class and
we'll equipped then they would
ge. their just deserts; for
there are white doctors.
preachers. lawyers, presidents
and dentists as far their
superiors along particular
lines as the white business
men in their enterprises are
superior to the Negroes in
their enterprises.
This does not refer to Ne
groe business men who are
suffering and sacrificing to
build up Negro enterprises.
1t is admitted in this article
that every man is free to do
as he pleases, but it must not
be forgotten that there is a
moral law that is as binding
as the civil law.
One word more. we would
sound this message in the big
Negroes ears:
Every race must be the
architect of its own fortune.
BY virtue of the fact the So
called big Negro serves the
race and gets the support and
patronage of the race, they
owe it to the Negro enter
prises to help support them
and the Negro enterprises
have a right to demand it of
the Big Negro.
If they will not hear this,
then the race has a right to
boycott them, and thus meas
lre to them-miserable con-
,eits-what they have meted
out to others.

COLORED WOMAN
CHICKEN EANC|ER

Few people realize the
amount OF worry, care and
trouble attached to the raising
of chickens. Many are con-
tented with only few about
the yard, and others have no
time whatever to devote to
them, while there are many
who care nothing at all for
poultry other than to eat.
So it is that we give space
and praise to Mrs. A. c. Will

time to the raising of thor
oughbred stock, and today
she ranks among the most
successful poultry culturists
of these parts. Mrs. William
son attends her own stock,
which amounts to about 400
chickens in all, and thorough
ly understands the business.
Among the stock is a pen of

From this pen she receives
$500 per setting. The birds

She has also a pen of the

Waco, Tex. Conservative Councillor
Your pretext for not pat
ronizing and trading with your
own grocers, depositing in
your banks. patronizing your
own doctors and other bust
ness institutions is because
they are not we'll equipped to
give the service, you say. You
who complain how about your
service to your race!
Can you give as good
service to your race as the
white man? That pretext is
TOO flimsy. Here is what the
matter is. 1t is that old slave
habit yet remaining in too
many of our so-called big Ne
groes. They have been SO
used to "gwine up to the big
house fer eby ting dey get.

Your business all our own en-
terprises will be able to put in
the best equipments, The
shortest and quickest route to
first class equipments and
service to your own enter
prises will be through your
patronage only. If you fail
to give your patronage to
build up your enterprises
when you really have the
business to give, you show
only your disloyalty to your
own and really keep back
money that would come to
you-fool you; for each boy
and girl employed in a Negro
enterprise will be enabled to
contribute to the big Negro
preachers church, the college
presidents school. to the big
bankers bank, to give the big
doctor patronage and to the
big lodge man and thus down
the line.
Thus you see. Mr.. Big Ne
proe, that your first class job
Office will come sooner by
your aid or delayed by your
non-patronage all of which
has a tendency to dampen,
discourage and in many in
stances kill out entirely the
enterprises of the race. The
quickest way to have good
business among the race is not
to eye it with jealousy and
boycott it, but to come up to
it and encourage it by moral
and financial support.
You must therefore, throw
aside your "ole fore de war

lift Of the race. Anything
else is disloyalty and race su-

SUGAR REfINERS
ARE ATTACKED
Senator Ransdell Of Louisiana
Says Companies Are Be-
hind Free-trade Lobby.
CASE CITED
Present Movement Is Likened to Ar.
buckles Forming Trust Which
- Raised Prices.

Senator RansdeIL of Louisiana, who has
been leading the fight in the Senate to
retain the duty on sugar. made an at
tack yesterday on Frank e. Lowry.
" hom. he described. al the agent of the
sugar rehners in promoting legislation
putting sugar an the free list. He charg-
ed that the big refiners We're behind
the free sugar lobby In Washington,
that they had paid fines aggregating
81. 3jS.575 growing out OF frauds on the
government, which they are now seek
ing to recoup by lowering the duty on
their raw material, thus enabling them
to make the greater profits
The Senator declared that the retiners
would reap the chief benefit from free
sugar He declared that the low prices
now prevailing are kept low by the COM
petition of the beet sugar and cane
sugar industry in this country. He said
that the government would lose s.. 600 900
a year in revenue and the consumers
would get cheap sugar for but brief
time after which the trusts would again
raise prices.
Senator RansdeIl was not able to COM
mand a large audience of his colleagues.
Several Republican members remained in
the chamber. but most of the Democrats
faded away and here were repeated calls
for quorums. A quorum was main
tanned with the greatest difficulty.
Only Seven Companies.
There are only seven important re-
filming companies in the Union" said Sem
ator Ransdell. three of which do nearly
90 per cent of the business. and all of
which give employment to about 10000
people. Senator Smoot interrupted to
say that the actual number employed by
the refining companies was a little more
than 5000. and that most OF them were
foreigners who had never been natural
lied.
THE cane sugar industry of Louisiana
supports half a million souls" continued
Senator Ransdell The beet sugar in
dustry employs fully lJ0ooo people and
51oo 600 are dependent upon it. In Porto
Rico 7O.000 people get their living from
sugar. In a way nearly the entire popu-
lation of 10000 souls depend upon sugar.
Sugar refining is a mere cleansing or
washing process. The entire cost Of
handling a ton of imported sugar is about
s6.15. while the growth Of cane and beets
is the work of farmers. and its manu-
facture into sugar the labor of American
citizens, each ton requiring an outlay to
farmers and factory labor of about SO. "
Senator Ransdell read from the Demo
cratic platform in Baltimore to show
that the party was committed to a duty
on sugar. and spiced his speech by quot
ing freely from the Democratic members
