DR.. Jackson's one big stroke of policy
was accomplished when he caused the
removal of the A. M. q. Zion financial
headquarters from Philadelphia to Bir.
mingham, Ala. In Birmingham, where
the colored people do big things, where
the money and the financial agent of
the church are in the midst of the very
heart Of Negro interest and Negro en-.
terprise, DR.. Jackson has splendid
opportunity to make the great interests
Of the Zion connection felt for good.
Alabama, too, is rather proud of the
distinction. Both I'm church and in fra
ternal organization the state has al
ways been ready to give DR.. jackson
any honor that could be conferred upon
him, and as matter of fact Alabama
and the great southwest will never be
satisfied until he is elected to the epis-
cOpacy.
His friends have frequently said to
DR.. Jackson that, occupying the posi-

cessful financier he stands already in
bigger position than bishop. His

Birmingham, Ala.-The remarkable
success Of DR.. ]. s. Jackson, premier
inancier of the race, carries with 1t a
lesson for all men who for the moment
would let the prescription and circum-
scription Of color prove deterrent in
fiuence upon them. DR.. Jackson, now
the general financial secretary of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church, is without doubt one Of the
most successful church financiers of
the day among Afro-Americans.
He was born In the state Of Alabama
Of parents who at that time were well
known and considered wealthy. He
was educated at the Alabama state
normal school, of which w. B. Pater-
son was principal, then located at Mar
ion, Ala. He completed his education
at this school before he was twenty
years Of age.
At the present time DR.. Jackson has
a financial rating Of no mean stand
ing and has also at his command and
control the resources of the great Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Zion church.
Serving in the capacity Of treasurer Of
this great church, DR.. Jackson has new.
er suffered any embarrassment nor per-
mitted the interests of his church to
suffer, often straining his own personal
credit to tide matters over for the
church until the harvest" season is
on. To satisfy the church he has more
than met all requirements and makes
his bond for $1,000, more than the
church requires by law.
Personally DR.. Jackson is in posses
sion of real estate in four states-New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and

New York. - President William 81.
Taft has appointed Fred R. Moore,
publisher of the New York Age, this
city, as minister to Liberia, West At
rica, to succeed the late DR.. William D.
Crum. Mr.. Moore's name was sent to
the senate with the first batch of presi-
Dental appointments for 1913. 1t is ex-
pected that the senate will act quickly
in this instance, as the appointee is a
we'll known Republican and has been
for many years one of the Republican
party's most loyal supporters in state
and national politics.
Mr.. Moore has the unique distinction
of being one Of the first persons to
60 to the rescue Of President James
A. Garfield when the president was as
sassinated in Washington by Charles
J. Guiteau. With Secretary Window,
he assisted in caring for Mr.. Garfield
until he was removed to Elberon, N. j.,
at which place he afterward died from
the effects of his wounds.
Mr.. Moore's sincerity and honesty of
purpose have won for him many infiu-
entail friends, without regard to poll
tics, although he has never swerved
from his loyalty to the Republican
party. Grover Cleveland, Daniel La.
mont, William G. Whitney, Chester A.
Arthur, the late Senator German and a
long list Of other notable men were
numbered among his PERSONAL friends.
During his career as notary public
in this city for twenty-five years MIR.
Moore attended to much business for
the Western National bank, the Equi-
table Life and August Belmont & Co
and also did work for Winslow, Lanier

Young Brooklynite to Be Civil Ensi-
neer For Liberian Government.
BY N. BARNETT DoDsoN.
The Liberian government has secur-
ed the services of James g. B. Lee of
Brooklyn to make a general survey of
the country, arrange its boundaries and
develop it's waterways and harbors. 1t
was through the good Offices Of Major
Charles Young, United States army, In
charge Of arranging the Lberian con-
stabulary, that Mr.. Lee received his
appointment.
Major Young is a personal friend Of
Secretary Rufus M. Meroney Of the
Carlton avenue branch Of the Young
Mems Christian association. 1t was
while Major Young was in New York
making arrangements for his trip to
Africa that Mr.. Meroney called his at
tention to Mr.. Lees qualifications as a
civil engineer. Correspondence be-
tween the major and Mr.. Meroney aft.
ar the former reached Monrovia re-
suited in the appointment Of Mr.. Lee.
who sailed for the Liberian capital on
Dec. %.
He will report to Major Young on his
arrival at Monrovia and prepare at
once to enter upon his duties as gov
ernment engineer. The position car
ries salary Of $4,000 per annum to
begin with. Mr.. Lee is young man
Of studious habits, ambitious and we'll
versed in the science of his profession.
lis appointment should bring home to
other young men the lesson so often de-
sired to be taught-that there Is room
enough for the prepared man in every
profession.
James G. B. Lee was educated in
the public schools Of Brooklyn and at
the we'll known Manual Training high
school In the same city. He received
his technical training at Cooper Union,
New York city. His success In school
was by no means an accident. for he
had many hardships during his student
days.
For FIVE years he held a clerkship In
the New York postOffice and continued
his technical studies when off duty.
He attended school from 8 a. m. to 3:15
p. m. and worked from 4 p. m. to |
a. m. during the five years In which he
was a student at Cooper Union. Thus
it can be seen that he had only four
or five hours for sleep and recuperation
daily during the five years.
Mr.. Lee was the principal speaker at
the Mems Business. Social and Econ
omy club on Friday evening, Dec. q.
His father, Joshua B. Lee. is a veteran
Of the civil war and a well known
Grand Army man. Among those at
the steamer to bid young Mr.. Lee bon
voyage were his father. stepmother. q

retary of the Y. NJ. G. A.

Low Cost of Living at Panama.

In the November American magazine
Ray Stannard Baker writes remark
able article entitled "The Glory of Pana-
ma" in which he gives most interest
ing and detailed account of Uncle Sans
success in building the canal On the
subject of the cost of living in Panama
Mr.. Baker writes:
Living is cheaper to-day on the 18TH
mus than anywhere in America. Meats,
groceries, clothing. all cost less there
than in your town or mine, and the
quality and purity is assured Refriger-
ated meat from Chicago, the choicest
cuts, sell at Panama, two thousand miles
away, for less than they do in Lansing,
Mich. Not only this, but the prices in
these stores lat which only canal en-
ployees are allowed to tradel are from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. cheaper
than in neighboring native stores. l
made, personally, many comparisons of
prices. A linen suit of chlothes for which
/ paid nine dollars in Panama City was
priced at six dollars in the government
store. These low prices are possible be-
causes the government buys in immense
quantities, because its credit is perfect.
and because all middlemen are eliminat-
ed. Every employee, black, yellow. or
white. has an equal chance to buy at
the standard government prices"
