senia Nelson Of Washington.
Washington.-Aside from their &C
tivty in educational. religious and so
cial uplift work, many women of our
race are engaged in some line of profit
able business. This is one of the sub
stantial evidences Of the encouraging
progress Of the race which is receiving
much attention from the public press.
Whenever woman goes into business
she Is almost sure to open the way for
one Of her sex to get employment in
the same line Of business, Of whatever
kind 1t may be. They are contributing
In no small way to the home and COM
munity life Of the race throughout the
United States. Their influence In all
well organized movements for racial
advance is being felt for good.
Among the many well educated, in
dustrious and capable women in this
city who are making their mark in
business and in the religious and so
cial life Of our people is Mrs. Eugenia

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.


The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part oi
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about q reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro Is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
tion of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house Is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their "gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder. ...... ......... ... ..
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the voting. 4
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out Of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

NEW JERSEY BAPTIST STATE
CONVENTION TO MEET OCT. 5
Bethany Church at Newark to Enter
tain Big Religious Gathering.

The annual meeting of the New Jer-
sey Baptist church and Sunday school
convention will be held for one week,
beginning on Tuesday, Oct 8, at the
Bethany Baptist church, Newark, N. j.,
Of which the Rev. DR.. Robert d. Wynn
is minister. The first day will be de-
voted to Sunday school work. Among
the important matters to engage the
attention Of the delegates after the
general literary program will be the
election Of president to fill the vacani
cy caused by the death Of the late and
much beloved DR.. William p Law
renee, who was president of the Sun
day school department for many years.
Wednesday, Oct. 6. the woman's aux.
iliary to the church convention will
meet. The officers Of this department
are working zealously to make the ses-
sion interesting and helpful to the
members Of all the churches In the
state connected with the convention,
An effort will be made to raise large
sum for home missions and education
Women's organizations in all the
churches are urged to send their full
number of delegates and liberal con-
tributions for the objects here named
The main body Of the convention
viii convene on Thursday. 1t is pre-
dicted that many important questions
as to the future policy Of the conven-
ton in relation to its jurisdiction as a
state body will come up for discussion
1t seems that when vacancies occur In
the ministry of any of the churches
outside influences control the actions
of the members of such churches In
the selection of minister to the ex-
clusion Of any advice or confederation
ef the state organization.
The Baptist church Is free to select
Its own minister without consulting
any one except It's own membership
This Is right. and no one who II well
versed In the doctrine or polity Of the
Baptist denomination will for q mo-
ment question the authority Of a
church Of this faith to select its own
minister. but In the present crisis II
seems that in some instances due cour-
tesy has not been shown to the state
convention In such matters.

THINKING WHITE" DOWN
SOUTH.
(From The Outlook.)

(From The Outlook.)
What do the best white people of
the South today think of the Negro?
What is their attitude toward Negro
education? What is the real temper
of the leaders in the New South?
What do they think about Booker T.
Washington's work for Tuskegee and
the advancement of over ten million
Negroes? The Rev. DR.. John E.
White, of Atlanta, Georgia, fearless
exponent of thinking white in the
South" recently stated and frankly
answered the incisive questions be-
fore several thousand Northern and
Southern Negroes who had assembled
in the Boston Symphony Hall, prim-
arily to hear DR.. Washington deliver
his presidential address to the six
teenth convention of the National Ne
gro Business League. DR.. White
said: .....
The relation in the South between
the races has never been so happy as
it is now. Never has the outlook
been so prosperous. The people of
the South are thinking white" that
is, the leaders are giving expression
to the best sentiments. The South is
now looking upon its millions of Ne
groes, not as liability but as an
asset. The South is training the Ne
gro for success, for efficiency. The
South sees that it is common sense
to help the Negro. When the Negro
owes something, then he is respected.
White people down South think
that the Negro is man. They are
saying this out loud. They are pray
ing God to help them deal with the
Negro on the basis of humanity.
They think that the Negro is dis
tinctly a Southern man. I predict
that the time will never come when
three-fourths of the Negroes of this
country will not be found in the
South The civilization of the South,
everything that makes 1t peculiar and
characteristic, centers around the Ne
gro. Indeed, the Negro has sweet
ened Southern life Whole COM
munities are shaped by the Negro.
Property-owning Southern men do
no lynching. Of the sixteen men who
were arrested for rioting in Atlanta,
for example, not one had his name
on the county taxbooks.
The race problem is to be solved,
not by having few Negroes with
education and culture reach the top,
but by having the well-trained Ne
groes reach down and help up the
ladder the black men and women who
are below struggling.

and prominent in fraternal circles of
his race. Mr.. Morris is teacher in
the Plymouth Congregational Church
Sunday School (white) and is total
abstainer. We have no record of any
speech made by him in this campaign
against the saloon evil, and if such
is hindrance to the Negroes he
should advise them to vote against

the Negroes would profit by having
him as a teacher in one Of their Sum

THESE SALT MINES FAMOUS
Many In GaIicia That Have Been
Worked for as Long a Time as
Seven Centuries,

Many of the worlds most famous
salt mines are in operation in Galicia.
Those at Wieliczka have been worked
for nearly seven centuries, at one time
being principal source of revenue
for the Polish kings Railroads are
not permitted to run near them lest
their vibrations result in cave-ins.
Within these mines are a labyrinth Of
salt-hewn streets and alleys, lined
with pillared churches, staircases, res
taurants. shrines, and monuments.
Nearly two thousand workmen are EN-.
ployed in the salt mines, working in
elght-hour shifts. The damp. salty
atmosphere seems to shorten their
days; but even at that they do nc; ap-
pear unhappy, in spite of the small
wage of twenty cents a day they are
paid. There are little lakes in the
mines, sometimes thirty feet deep,
which are navigated by ferryboats.
Many of the little ponies which draw
the cars over the tiny salt railway
have not seen the light of day for gen.
erations, and are born blind.

LASTING Window Polish

There is an art in washing windows.
and if they are properly polished the
operation need not be repeated for a
long time. A really good polish will
survive several transforms and will
only require the dust to be removed
occasionally with dry cloth. The
inside of the windows should be
washed with tepid water, without soap
or powder of any kind, rubbed dry
with chamois and polished with cheese
cloth. A solution for cleaning the out
side should be made from one ounce
of pulverized whiting, one ounce OF
grain alcohol, one ounce of LIQUID am
monia and pint of water. Spray the
window with clear water to remove
surface dirt, and apply the solution
with a soft cloth. Let this dry on.
Afterward polish with cheesecloth or
tissue paper If the glass has been
badly scratched, filling may be an,
piled. This consists of an ounce Of
white wax dissolved in turpentine. II
should be applied before the polishing
