Editors Idea In Line With Platform Of
Press Association.
Editor e. ID. Cannady of the Port
land (Ore.) Advocate very wisely calls
the attention Of Afro-Americans to the
Importance Of reading the advertising
columns Of papers published by mem
bers Of the race. By reading the ad-
vertising columns one could save both
time and money by going directly to
the store which carries the material
wanted.
Mr.. Cannady also AYERS that dis
elimination against colored patrons ex.
lists in some stores In Portland. Ad-
vertisements appearing in papers pub
lished by Afro-Americans bear no
faint Of race prejudice; therefore hint
to the wise along this line is sufficient
Any people can become strong and in
fuential by exercising good common
sense, concentration Of thought, effort
and friendly cooperation.
The National Negro Press associa-
ton at it's last annual meeting in Chi
cage expressed the desire for closer
union between business enterprises
and newspapers, pointing to the fact
that the life Of business depends large
ly upon the information which the
public receives through the advertis.
ing columns Of newspapers.
The association favors uniform
charge for advertisements based on
actual circulation, the kind Of matter
being taken into consideration. It
condemns fake advertisements and
calls upon its constituency to print the
news without fear or favor, giving
true reflex of existing conditions with
out concealing evil or overlooking the
constructive features of race progress.

HUNDRED AND FOUR YEARS

Anniversary Of Abyssinian congrega-
ton Reveals Work Of UpIift.

The pastor and members Of the
Abyssinian Baptist church in New
York recently held series of meetings
In recognition Of the one hundred and
fourth anniversary Of the founding Of
the church. There were many distin-
guished visitors at the different serv-
ices from out Of town. Among those
who came from q distance were Presi-
dent William A. Credit Of the Down

Mr.. and Mrs. Watt Terry Of Brockton.

The Rev. DR.. A. Clayton Powell, pas
tor of the church, received many ex-
pressions Of confidence and esteem
from his parishioners and the visitors
for the great work accomplished under
his four years pastorate. The celebra-
ton concluded with an overflow reun-
ion service at Young's Casino. The
receipts reported up to Nov. 20 amount
ed to $1,9O0.48. 1t was DR.. Powell's
aim to raise $1,000 during the anniver-
sary exercises, all free will offering.
surpassed his calculation.
The church Is in most fourishing
condition, growing in membership and
sending out most helpful influence
into the community. 1t is a congrega-
ton imbued with the spirit of missions,
and many families and individuals in
the community have been the recipi-
ents Of the hospitality of the various
organizations connected with the
church. 4
So eager has been the desire on the
part of the pastor and congregation to
reach the nongoing church people that,
under the auspices of the church, three
large mass meetings have been held re-
Gently at Youngs Casino Sunday after
Moons after the regular morning serv-
ice Of the church. These meetings have
been very helpful. +

Collection Raised to Defray Padded
Expences.

There was flood of indignation al
the Emancipation Celebration Sery
ices held in the Court House, when
the presiding officer, Hon. w. r. Nor.
ris asked for second collection to
make the necessary $500 for in
CURED expenses, after having prev
iously raised $12.62. Mr.. Morris acted
on request of the committee, and was
surprised that such expenses had been
made. He was asked by the Editor
Of the Twin City Star: How much
were the expenses, and he referred
him to Rev. Carter of Bethesda Bap-
fist church, who was seated on the
platform. Rev. Carter, whom we
know is one of our best ministers)
said that he did not know about it,"
Rev. Withers, Of Zion, promoter Of
financial enterprises for himself and
the church, was unable as Chairman
of committee, to name the expenses,
and he was told by Mr. Smith that
the expenses were small, as the hall
was free, the costs for moving the
piano was generally $500, and that

the printing or advertisements would
not reach $22, no programs were in
evidence. But he said I'VE have ex-
penses" and Mr.. Smith knew that he
could have only meant his personal
service account. Rev. Lewis said that
he athought that they needed money
for expenses, and little collection
was proper" Rev. Edwards of st.
James, did not attend on account of
sickness, and said that he thought
that $1,000 was enough, and that
there was no need of a second col
lection even If the first was insult
ficient, the churches could have col
lected the balance" Now, it is evident
that there Is grating. What was this
money for; and who got it? We have
specialized on this article, because we
are ashamed to know that Negro
leaders would use the high offices and
privileges for personal gain, and it Is
being done throughout the country.
We know the amount Is small, but
the intent is to make the people pay,
and nearly everything given in our
churches is to promote financial in
terest, and they have become "dens
Of thieves, and houses of merchan-
disc" The Editor of the Star will
again be accused Of fighting the
churches or something, but it Is his
duty. He lives without mixing in
these thefts" and for that reason no
notice was given to him of this af-
fair, but we donated advertising space
and brought crowd, many of the
good citizens of our city, who are
tired of such occurrences. At the
recent Educational Congress the Ed
itor Of the Star financed Reception,
and he was ably assisted by COM
mittee of ladies, who donated every.
thing to aid 1t and it was a grand sue
cess. A collection was raised, and
the greater part was given to the
Congress, and the Star kept the rest.
We mention this to Rev. Withers,
who was one of the collectors, (Chas.
Sumner Smith paid all bills before the
Hall was opened.) Few people feel
that this is serious matter, but 1t is
and a disgrace that we cannot find
enough patriotism in our pulpits; can
not forget the love of money" can
not commemorate the Natal Day of
the American Negro as race leaders
for the common good, and not for
selfish motives. Many public spirited
citizens would be willing to help in
these affairs, but they do not propose
to feather the nest of some scoundrel,
whose stock in trade is long coat
and a preachers title, privilege to
beg and steal. God deliver us from
such Social Highwayman.

Mimi, Dec. Is, IL.
Hon. Frank Nimock, Rep. Elect 40,
MINI. Dis.
Dear Sir:
I want to enter protest against the
Jim Grow" Legislation which you
purpose to father" in the coming
Legislature regarding inter-marriage
between whites and colored in the
state of MINI. can not agree with
the prominent" colored men whom
you have interviewed regarding this
special piece Of Legislation you intend
to introduce. I regard marriage as
sacred and the private business of
the contracting parties whatever
their color. Now, sir, am a Negro, I
voted for you in the last election and
three others in my house did SO at my
suggestion. After reading your pol
itical literature which promised fair
play to all men, I was deluded with
the idea that you are the man for the
place you sought. l am frank to ad-
NIT that am now ashamed of my
self for having done so. Personally /
do not want to marry white woman,
! have wife and two children, they
are all black. What l object to Is the
white man in all his strength and
power eager to give the weaker race
who is already down, just another
kick. Very respectfully, H. M. Ken
nedy, 321 No. Aldrich.

Hampton Institute honors Memory Of
Well Known Asrieulturist.
The movement recently started to
make Knapp agricultural day" per-
manent fixture in the history of south.
ern farm industry is worthy Of the
highest commentator. DR.. s. A.
Knapp was the originator of farm dem
onstration work and boys and girls
agricultural clubs. j
Wednesday, Nov. "a, was set apart
as the day on which special exercises
were held at the various industrial
schools In different sections of the
south in honor of DR.. Knapp. Hamp-
ton institute, Of course, took the lead
in the movement, inviting the children
Of the public schools also to observe
the day which commentaries the work
Of man who did more than any other
person for the advancement Of agricul-
tural life in the south.
1t is gratifying to a degree to know
that the influence growing out of this
memorial day Is to take permanent
shape in the near future Of Knapp
school and a Knapp farm near Nash
vile, Tenn, in connection with the
Peabody college. The general educa-
ton board has decided to give $3.50, 900
for The endowment Of this school Of
country life.
The purpose Of the institution will
be to reach and help schools and farms
In the south. 1t will be a veritable
clearing house for the assembling Of
educational and industrial workers.
No such institution Of the kind is at
present In existence. Therefore 1t will
finally have demonstration schools in
every state and county. A life sized
statue Of DR.. Knapp will adorn the
principal building Of the school Of
country life.
