portant of which will be a drying
plant which will be operated in con-
nection with the mill during the an
nual campaign. This plant alone Will
cost approximately $175,OO0. The con-
tract will be let in the near future and

AER0,AMER|CAN CUE[|NCS

A few days ago a number of gentle
men met in this city and decided to
form social club, lease or buy a res
1dence and furnish it and equip it on
a sumptuous scale. This club is de-
signed for the amusement and pleas
ure of Its members. 1t does not appear
that we, of Washington, will continue
to begin working from the top down,
instead of from the bottom up With
such crying need here for organiza-
uon to promote and finance CONNER
cial enterprises 1t does appear that If
men can organize to spend money Law
1shly for amusement they ought to be
able to organize to spend money judi
ciously to foster business enterprises
With not a single colored grocery
name of grocery store in Washing
ton; with all grocery stores of any di-
mensions. located in negro neighbor-
hoods, controlled and operated by Rus
sian Jews, Greeks and Italians; with
not single dry goods. hardware, con-
fection or china store or bank in this
city of 127 900 negroes, 1t would ap-
pear that It would be far better to Or
ganize clubs to promote business
rather than to furnish amusement
And these are anything but amuse
ment times This is a serious period
in our history. With house of rep
resentatives passing jim-crow meas
ures, and each day the daily prints
carrying cruel, outrageous attacks up
on the race by members of congress;
with right after right and privilege
after privilege being swept away;
with the door of opportunity being
closed more effectually every day,
there ought to be something more
serious to command our attentions
than the providing of a sumptuous
club in which to loll our time away
with nectared wines and aimless con-
veEsation. The sumptuously appoint
ed social club. among the whites.

and business success. Just at this

No man who is just and unbiased
will condemn you for contending for
what is right; therefore. we should
contend for what is right. This, of
course, should be done In the proper
way, at the proper time. and at the
proper place. This is lesson that
some people are yet to learn. Human
rights are very sacred. and no man
should be deprived Of them. Every
sane man should contend for his
rights. We have civil, political and re-
ligious rights. The man who stands
up for his rightful rights in the proper
way will be respected and will in the
end get them. God is not dead-right
is bound to win.-The Baptist Re-
porter.

For as a general rule, the colored
women have had more courage to
speak out in the defence of the wo-
menhood of the race than the colored
men, who are to a great or less extent
towards and trimmers, they having no
higher object in view than to appro-
pirate all the honor and glory unto

1t is very difficult to find a young
woman now, but that as soon as she
marries loses her usefulness to the
church. More men would be useful
to the church today if their wives
would exert the same powerful influ-
ence over them for religion that they
do over them for style and pleasure.

the church and he will stay closer to

That year after year football is get
ting strong footing among the ath.
letic events of the negro schools and
strated very clearly last fall by their
general participation in the game.
The schedule of games of the vari-
GUS schools was more complete and
more satisfactory to the public this
year than ever before and with but
few exceptions was played without a
hitch.
Everything taken into consideration
the teams representing most of the
colleges have shown themselves to be
we'll versed with the new game, and
some of their exhibitions have called
for the highest praises.
The season has come to close with
two teams standing out eminently
above the others; they are the Atlanta
Baptist College and Howard Univer-
sity. Both teams at least for the pres
ent year will have to content them
selves with sharing equally the honor
of holding the leadership among the
negro colleges of the country. A meet
ing between the two this year would
have been battle royal with toss
up as to which would be returned the
victor. The Atlanta Baptist College
met and virtually slaughtered the 9TH
er Atlanta schools and won from
Tuskegee Institute and Fisk Univer-
sity in two of the most beautiful con-
tests ever seen on southern gridiron
Howard University on the other hand
won most decisively from all her op
ponents.

To date seven bills have been intro
duced in the Illinois legislature, all
of them antagonistic to the negro.
They are known as the Shaw bill, the
Campbell bill, the Foster bill, the
Poorman bill, the Hollenbeck bill, the
Karch bill and the Full Crew bill.
With the exception of the latter, the
sponsors for these measures place the
blame for their action upon the Jack
Johnson incident. The Campbell bill
seeks to establish the Jim Crow" car
on the transportation lines of Illinois.
especially on the street cars of Chi
cago and the other large cities. The
Full Crew bill will eliminate the rail-
road porter. and is believed to be the
first step in the thorough elimination
of negroes in railroad service. The
other five measures aim at the pre-
vention of marriage between negroes
and whites, thus permitting illicit in
tercourse and wholesale miscegena-
ton. 1t is significant that these bills
have been introduced by Democratic,
Republican and Progressive members
of the legislature. The Full Crew bill
has been made a party measure by the
progressive party. What is still more
significant is the attitude of the So
called friends of the negro. They are
not anxious to assert themselves at
Springfield. The opposition is thor
oughly active and gaining force. The
negro having no membership in the
legislature and no leader in either of
the two parties, with whom he, votes
anxious to voice his position, is in a
dangerous position.
