AMERICANS AND THE FRISCO FAIR

With the roaring of the first gun
OF the general European war the pes
simistically inclined with one accor
began predicting that the Panama
Pacific Exposition of 1915 was doome,
TO failure, wholly or in part. On thu
contrary, the European situation
should make the San Francisco fail
one OF the most notable ever held ir
this or>any other country.
There will be no rush of Americans
to the Old World next year. More
than that, the tide Of travel from the
latin.American countries will set
steadily toward the United States.
With Europe's gates closed by con.
tlnent-Wide war or its nations still
shuddering from the shock, the Old
World will have little to offer any
save the most morbid of travellers.
The people who 60 a-touring in 1915
will do that touring in America.
There will be a lessening- of for
eign exhibits at the Panama Pacific
Exposition. The great manufacture
ing peoples of Europe will not be
able to make the showing they have
made in other American fairs. This
will create the opportunity for Amer
lean scientists, technical experts and
manufacturers. With the Orient's
buyers waiting across the Pacific, the
Latin-American countries shut off
from Europe's mills and factories and
the whole of the greatest manufacture
ing continent temporarily eliminated
from the worlds markets, American
business will see its opportunity and
meet it. i
The artistic and educational sides of +
the San Francisco Fair will suffer but i
little. The closing of the galleries of ,
Europe will result in the opening of

cent, over the past years receipts.
Altogether, the report of the
principal and treasurer showed
that $40 colored people had contri-
buted toward the expenses of the
Tuskegee Institute during the
past year.
While it is not matter legally
or directly connected with the
work of the Institute, a plan was
launched at the meeting by which
l 1,750 acres of land have been pur.
chased near the Institute, with
view of encouraging young colored'
men, preferably graduates from
the agricultural department of the
Tukegee Institute, to settle and
become farmers. The money to
purchase the land outright was
provided, and the land is now be-
ing surveyed for the purpose Of
erecting houses on it for prospec-
tive purchasers. 1t is the idea to
make a model Negro farming set
tlement. On the tract of land
there is already gin, store and
railroad station. In addition 10
securing the money for paying for
this land, the money subscribed to
pay all the expenses in connection
with operating the experiment for
given period. During the meet

All these phases of the banking
business were discussed and a
number of suggestions advanced
as to the kind of bank best suited
to the needs of the colored busi-
ness men of Harlem. The con-
sensus of opinion seemed TO favor
the formation of a trust company,
with a savings department, as the
most feasible. The capital stock
was suggested as 100000, with
paid-in surplus of $4,000. 1t was
stated that the representation al
lowed the Negro in management
of the bank would be in proportion
to the amount of stock subscribed,
or if bank financed entirely by
Negroes was established, then ad.
vice and cooperation would be
freely given, by the white bankers.
Advice was given as to how the
business could be helped and en-
couraged.
