CONTRACTORS GREAT RECORD.
PIONEER BUSINESS MAN MAKES
GOOD AMONG ALL CLASSES.

TO- and that is to either get specifica-
ton, or get some friend to make out a
specification or come to his office
and he will make out one for you free
of charge; as it is impossible for any
two men to figure alike without a
guide. All the white people have their
specifications so there will be no mis-
take in having all to figure alike, and
whenever you want No. material,
there will be no chance for a contrac-
tor to put in No. 8 or No. material
as has been done so much. We should
not at any time accept verbal figures
because there is nothing to hold man
to unless it is in writing, then 1t Is up
to you to either accept it or turn it
down until you have signed 1t your
self. There have been many times
that F. Peoples has figured on work
in both Minneapolis and St. Paul and
was the lowest figure, where the other
contractors tried to bluff the client to
make them pay for the trouble Of fig.
uring on the work. F. Peoples would
like to make this very plain: that no
contractor, no matter who he is or how
much money he has, has no chance to
collect money for figuring on jobs, as
he has no right until you have signed
up with him.
I, F. Peoples, want to take this op
portunity to thank all Of the Colored
People for all the business l have
transacted for them because they have
given me more business in such q
short time than could ever have ex
pected of them. If l only do half Of
the business in the next two years
that have done in the past, l will be
perfectly satisfied because I can readi
ly see that you mean for me to stay
here"
F. Peoples has an office clerk who /!
doing public stenography in connection
with her regular work. If at any time
you have letters of any kind to write
or legal papers to draw up, you viii
find her competent to handle anything
in the stenographic line. She has ,
very large trade from white as well al
colored as she does the very best worl
at the most reasonable price.

AN APPEAL.
To the Race Loving Women and Men
Of the United States.

To the Race Loving Women and Men
Of the United States.
The Constitutional League Of Okla
homa with Lawyer William Harrison,
Of Oklahoma City as its leading at
torney is contesting with vigor the
"Jim Crow" laws of Oklahoma. He
will, the last of November or the first
Of December, bring before the United
States Supreme Court the case OF NC
Cabe ct al VS.. The Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway So, ct al.
We are informed that jurist say
that the Oklahoma case is the best
prepared Of its kind Of any case yet
put before the United States Supreme
Court, and that it will now have to
meet the issue squarely.
There is one feature of this case
that will be settled which will effect
all of the Negroes in the United
States and that is the Interstate pas
senger law. If he succeeds 1t will put
an end to all Jim Crowism, so far as
Interstate passengers are concerned.
They will not even be subject to the
Intr-state laws of the South.
Hence we hereby appeal to every
liberty loving woman, man and friend
Of the Negroe race in this country to
make a contribution to the expense
of fighting this cas-. We think 1t is
high time, If Negroes want liberty,
they should be willing to pay some
thing towards 1t.
A few race loving men and women
in tn Oklahoma League, led by the
Rev. w. H. Jernagin, D. D., who is
now pastor OF the Mount Carml Bap.
fist church, Washington, D. c., have
made great sacrifice to bring the case
through lower courts to its present
stage and Mr.. Harrison has practi
cally given his service for nothing;
but must be rewarded.
We are informed that two able con
stitutional lawyers Of Boston and New
York will assist In this case.
! Therefore let everyone who is in
terested send at least 81. All contri
buttons to be sent to Rev. w. H. Jern
agin, D. D., 420 @ street, N. W., Wash
? ington, D. c., who will receipt you FOL
the same. He is a reputable, straight
forward, Christian gentleman, and viii
!. make an honest report of all money
sent him.
If persons making contributions d.
not object, their names will be pub
Z lished in the leading papers of theil

New Jersey Congressman Defends
Ability Of colored Federal Employees.
Washington.-Thi city is stirred as
never before on account Of the great
agitation which Is going on in refer
ence to the segregation Of white and
colored civil service employees in the
various departments Of the govern
ment service. The protest presented
to the president not long ago and the
investigation made by a representa-
tive Of the National Association For
the Advancement Of ColOred People
have gone far toward awakening a
sense Of justice in the minds of those
responsible for the existence Of segre-
cation among the clerks and other fed
eral employees.
In an address recently delivered in
this city by Representative w. ].
Browning of New Jersey he said:
Civil liberty. whether enjoyed In
whole or in part, has demonstrated
the ability Of colored citizens to ad-
vance in the scale of human progress
against great odds. Much, it is true.
that citizenship is supposed to confer
is denied. but in many states the fran
chise is freely exercised. and this, 1t
should be remembered, in states where
this privilege Is not likely to be with
drawn by circumvention of the con-
stitution or other device and where
numerical strength weighs heavily in
the political equation. This strength
has usually been on the side Of good
government.
I'VE know that the full measure of
representation Is not accorded, but rec
ognition of this principle is found In
the filing Of offices and positions of
honor and trust in every branch of the
government service and in the army
and navy. They are here in the de-
partments. and they would not be here
If they lacked ability and efficiency.
They are here because the equal Op-
portunity was given them to enter
through the door Of a civil service ex-
animation. They are not here because
they belong to certain race or class,
but in spite Of that fact They are
participating in government, doing the
government work. are part Of the
machinery.
1.-The flag, the only flag they have
ever known, floats over every govern
ment building In which they work
the common flag Of every American
citizen, slgnifying unity as one In all
things pertaining to the common wei
fare. Here the standard Is efficiency;
here all are civil servants; here class
social, religious and political distinc
lions have no rightful place. Each
and all are American citizens, nothing
more and nothing less than American
citizens.
81 venture to assert that there are
few men today anywhere in this coun
try who would be willing to return t.
the system which the abolitionists
strove to stamp out and which was
stamped out There may be, and
doubtless are, men who, while feeling
that way about the institution of slav
cry, nevertheless are hostile to the col
ored man. This feeling is engenderet
by race prejudice and is manifested II

AN OPEN LETTER.

The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union has launched a
campaign for National Constitutional
Prohibition in 1920.
We believe in ourselves; but in
finitely more in the God who said:
BE not afraid nor dismayed by rea-
son of this great multitude; for the
battle is not your but Gods"
We realize that it would be dis
astrous to the race, If in the final tri-
umph of virtue over vice, the church
over the liquor traffic; our women
were found poorly represented in the
great organization of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, which knows no woman by her
creed or color.
To forestall such calamity, we
are calling for volunteers all over the
Nation.
January 1, 1914, has been set apart
as out fast day, on which day all who
are interested In the weiIbeins Of the
race are called upon to unite with US
that there might be a great awakening
Of our women to this the opportune
time to fall into line and help save our
race from this vile form Of slavery
which tho white mans civilization has
forced upon us.
At our National Convention In AS
burv Park, N. J., in November, Ohio's
colored women led the nation in max
ing a great gain of membership; Ne"
York came next. The whole nation
must rally. The liquor traffic knows
no race, section, nor condition In III
work if evil. WE MUST BE on
DUTY when the last blow for libert!
Of home, race and nation is struck.
Texas will rally for 1000 paid mem
bers. Tennessee and Arkansas 5O'

versity, Nashville, Tenn, has beef
chosen as our Secretary OF Advisor!

Miss Mary A. Lynch, Livingston Col
lege, Salisbury, N. c., is Chairman o
Committee on Press Work.
cheerfully introduce these capable
EARNEST women who will help lead ou
I ranks to victory over the creates
enemy we have known since emancipa
ton.
We believe in the press as one o
the greatest means Of helping u
establish truth and justice.
We believe that our men will rail-
leo help us as they discover the cal
nestness of our hearts set to action.
We therefore humbly ask that yo'
will give space in your valuable col
umns of the next issue for this letter
We further beg that you will let ap
pear in a later issue If not along will

WHAT ! AM TRYING TO DO.

BY Or. Booker T. Washington, In the
"WorIds Work Magazine, New York
City, November, 1919
ct am trying to get the white peo-
pie to realize that since no color line
is drawn in the punishment Of crime.
no color line should be drawn in the
preparation for life, in the kind of
education, in other words, that makes
for useful, clean living. I am trying
to get the white people to see that in
hundreds of counties in the South
It is costing more to punish colored
people for crime than It would cost to
educate them. am trying to get all
to see that ignorance, poverty, and
weakness invite and encourage the
stronger race to act unjustly toward
the weak, and that so long as this con
dition remains, the young white men
Of the South will have fearful handi
cap In the battle Of life"
