WHEN NEGROES WRITE BOOKS
They Should Receive Credit.

Agents are selling a book, recently
published by the Woodruff Press, Lin
coin, Neb. It Is called "The Conquest"
The story Of Negro Pioneer-by the
Pioneer" The work Is dedicated to
Hon. Booker T. Washington.
1T is the story Of young sleeping
car porter. who was discontented; that
is, he possessed energy-a desire to
become more than just George"
Why such an ambition and ener'
getic young Negro man should not re-
veal his identity is remarkable, yet
his unpretentiousness leads one to be-
lieve that the book Is written by a
white man. It Is a good investment,
as it appeals to the pride and passions
of many Negroes. II "the Pioneer
is a Negro, his modesty has overcome
his merit and he will have no place
among Negro writer's. Evidently Mr.
Pioneer prefers more finance and less
literary fame. .l...'r. E..

Gov. Eberhart names Oeie9dtes'
The National Negro Educational
Congress will meet in Kansas City,
Mo-, July Is to 10. Gov. Eberhart has
named the following delegates from
Minnesota: Thos. H. Lyles, DR.. o.
d. Howard, o. c. Hall, DR.. Waldo Tur-
ner, Atty. w. r. Francis, Rev. H. P.
Jones, Rev. A. H. Lealtad, ]. @. Adams,

Brown, Atty. B. 8. Smith, John M. Al
lison, c. H. Robinson, Mrs. lone e.
Gibbs, Mrs. Ida Sellars, of Mime
apolis. At the last meeting of this
Congress held in st. Paul lest year 1t
was decided that Clermont, Va, would
be the next place Of meeting, but ow-
ing to the death Of Prof. J. J. Small
wood, the change was made to Kansas
City, Mo. Many st. Paul citizens are
officers of this Congress but 1t Is
doubtful If any will attend its meet,
ings. They know that Pres. ]. Silas
Harris is not the logical man for the
head of an organization of its scope.
We admit that the Congress brought
to us some distinguished Negro men
and women, but they were mostly
victims. However, it was the duty OF
our citizens to receive them kindly,
and to welcome them with that hos
pitality which makes Minnesota IA
nous, especially Minneapolis. 1t can
not be said that Pres. Harris added to
his popularity, while here, and 1t was
the concensus of opinion that he was
not the man for the place. His recent
record for class legislation has proven
such. We had hoped that Prof. Small
wood would place this Congress where
1t rightfully belonged, bringing to-
gether the intelligent minds OF the
race, but in the present condition 1t
is a farce, and always will be, while
Prof. Harry R. Graham carries around
its constitution in his hip pocket, and
Prof. j. Silas Harris remains at Its
head.
