Of the most prominent men Of the race
visiting here have been guests, and
each has been lavish in his praise Of
the excellent service. 1910
Smiths hotel has a frontage Of forty
nine feet on Druid Hill avenue and ex.
tends back ninety-nine feet to a small
street. It has seventeen separate bed
rooms, a large dining room, kitchen,
ladies' parlor, lobby for men, rathskel-
ler, numerous baths and one Of the
handsomest buffets in the country,
fitted with electric lights, beautifully
decorated walls and a tiled 6oor.
Prompt and polite service greets the
patrons, and they are numbered by
the thousands in course of month.
As Thomas Smith expresses It: "The
public Is entitled to first class hotel ac-
commodations in an atmosphere where
q man need not be afraid to take his
family, and we have tried to give the
public what has long been desired. In
ferior accommodations In bad sur
roundings will no longer be tolerated,
, and you must give the public that
which they are able to pay for"
"a few weeks ago the proprietors Of
this. establishment were rendered a
complimentary reception by leading
citizens. Men i'm all walks Of life at
tended. including prominent person
ages from other cities. The toasts
were one continual round of praise for
the men whose enterprise had given
10 Maryland what is probably the FIN
est hotel owned absolutely and con-
Quoted by men Of the race. Several OF
the speakers also referred to the fact
that every dollar of the cost Of the i'm,
provements had been paid. Thomas

FINE RECORD OF H. W. BASS.
Brief Review Of His Work In the Penn
sylvania Legislature.
By WHITTIER II. WRIGHT.


By WHITTIER II. WRIGHT.
Philadelphia. 1913 term Of the
Pennsylvania legislature will 60 down
in history as one Of special achieve
ments In many ways so far as Afro
Americans are concerned. In this con-
nection 1t Is quite pleasing to note the
unselfish services Of the Hon. Harry w.
Bass, the only representative Of the
colored race in that legislative body.
There was some criticism Of Mr..
Bass inactivity during the first session
Of the legislature, and it was said that
he had not done as much as was ex-
pected Of him. From the results Of
this session 1t can be easily said that
the inactivity of our representative
was possibly due more to modesty,
which is a very probable thing In
representative serving his first term,
than to his inability or his lack Of
interest
Still, during that first session MIR.
Bass secured the appropriation Of $20,-
600 for the celebration Of the emanci-
patton proclamation. If he had done
nothing more than to secure this ap-
preparation it would have entitled him
to the lasting gratitude Of his race.
The lead which Pennsylvania took
at the instance of Mr.. Bass has not
only awakened Pennsylvania, but has
gone still further, for New Jersey fol-
lowed with an appropriation Of $20..
600 for the celebration Of the progress
Of the race in that state, and recently
New York has made an appropriation
Of $25, 900 for a similar celebration.
So excellent was the showing made
by the commission in Pennsylvania
that the recent legislature has made
an appropriation of $4,000 for further
ance Of the exposition.
We have on the statute books Of this
legislature a bill to create a regiment
Of colored soldiers in this state. and If
we are to believe the reports Of the
newspapers the most brilliant speech
made In defense Of this bill was made
by the Hon. Harry w. Bass, our repre-
sentative.
But not only in this did he do his
race credit, but also in the defeat OF
the bill which was proposed to humili
ate our people by passing a law against
racial intermarriage, upon the infer
ence that colored people were anxious
to marry white people. The speech
which Mr. Bass made in this connec'
ton has already been given to the
world and was the most effective in the
defeat of this bill.

Outline Of Plan and Scope For
Big Celebration.
FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM
Personnel Of Commission Appointed
by Governor William SuIzer Be-
speaks Success For Coming Exhibi-
ton of Race Progress to Be Held In
New York In October.

New York.--The commission appoint
ed by Governor Sulzer of New York
In accordance with the provisions of
a law recently enacted in that state to
provide for fitting celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary Of the emancipa-
ton is particularly fortunate in the
quality Of its personnel. The nine
members Of the commission have been
drawn from among the most influen-
tial and representative colored men OF
the state. a fact which is particularly
interesting as showing the white mans
growing belief in the colored mans
executive ability and capacity for or
ganizati0n.
The chairman Of the commission is
Robert N. Wood, the recognized leader
of the United Colored Democracy,
whose influence with the present ad-
ministration and legislature was in no
small measure responsible for the sue
cessful issue Of this and that other ef-
fort to secure equal opportunities for
the colOred mans social uplift In New
York-the bill creating colored regi-
ment Of militia
The scope Of the exposition is not
limited to New York, but will cover
the progress of the race generally. Fol
this reason persons in other states will
be invited to take part. The commits
sion seeks to make this exposition dis
| tinctively and impressively- educatipn
al. There will be as little as possible
of the country fair type of exposition
The commission rather stresses the
conferences and congresses on the reli.
gious. economic and other important as
poets Of the problem of the advance of
the race. F.. .."
A special feature of the exposition
ing historically the progress of the Ne
gro from the remotest times, his migra
ton to the new world. and so on down
to and since. his emancipation from
slavery. In addition to this, special
departments Of art, literature. inven'
tions, etc, will be placed in charge OF
competent persons well Informed In
their respective branches.
The commission is to prepare roll
of honor Of 200 men, selected by their
fellows as being really representative
leaders of the race. The exposition
will cover the last ten days Of October
and three of these will be called re.
spectvely governors day. Douglass
day and Lincoln day.
