The following are some of the
principles for which the Colored Cit
izens Protective Association, an or
ganization of colored men and women
recently organized for the civic pro-
lection and betterment of their citi-
zenry of San Francisco, stand for:
The principles we stand for and ad-
vocate in season and out of season:
We believe that humanity IS unit,
and we advocate the cause of right
and instiee fer al sorts ard sonsia
men.
We believe in an Almighty God and
we are unalterably opposed to the
sovereign will and power vested IN
one human being, man or woman.
We believe in inspired and divine
race leadership and we are uncompro-.
misingly opposed to specially hired
or charitably bribed leadership for
this reason: any man who can be spe-
cially hired and privately paid to lead
the people can be bribed to mislead
the people. :,
We believe that colored men in all
parts of the republic should vote and
be allied with any political party they
desire, and we strongly advocate TAX
ing an active part in politics and vot-
ing at all elections.
We believe in broad franchise for
women and men, and we advocate the
same qualification for both, because
| it is Just, right and fair and will work
| for the success of human progress and
good government.
The object of the Colored Citizens
| Protective Association is: To seek the
| truth by turning the searchlight on in
dark places; to oppose false teachings

The celebration will run for three

The Negro Historical and Industrial

Giles B. Jackson, for an appropriation
Of $4,000 toward the general expenses
Of the celebration.
The text of the petition as presented
by Mr. Jackson is as follows:
"To the Honorable Board Of Aldermen
and City Council Of the City of Rich

"Gentlemen-There will be held In
the city of Richmond at the state fair

sition is to show to the world the mar.

Of this country, especially In the south

within the past fifty years.
This exposition was conceived by
the brain Of those most anxious for the
white people of this country and espe-
cially those Of the north and west, to
view the progress Of the Negro and see
how much he has advanced In the last
fifty years. We want to dispel the idea

under whose auspices this exposition Is
to be held, appealed to the national
government for the means by which TO
create this exposition, and In answer
to their prayer an appropriation OF

piled for the amount. At that time we

The foregoing statement appears In
q bulletin which the Department OF Ag-

half Of all the sugar required by the
United States.
Some figures from the actual opera
tons OF the beet sugar plant at De
catur during the past year will give
some suggestion OF the possibilities OF
this industry for Indiana. Aside from
the Investment OF $1,000. 900 or more.
which the plant itself represents, the
factory paid out 10 the farmers who
grew beets about $4,000. Some $751;
900 was paid out In wages to factory
and field operatives. The railways Of
the state received from the trsnspor-
tntion OF beets. sugar and supplies over
100000. while considerable sums were
distributed for limestone. cotton bag
cling and other articles required In the
process Of manufacture. Thus about
three quarters OF a million dollars was
distributed through various channels
OF Indiana industry as a result OF the
establishment Of a single beet sugar
factory within the borders Of the state.
According 20 the estimates Of the sta
tistical bureaus at Washington the
people OF Indiana consume over 100,-
600 tons OF sugar q year for which
they pay s12.DO0. 900 or more. Previous
20 this year all Of this money went

May Run Expresses

Is Latest Rumor

The latest report to reach .The
Pallsadian" regarding Public Service
improvements in this region is one
relating to the laying of two addi-
tional tracks between Coytesville
and Hudson Heights. This will give
four tracks altogether, two for locals.
two for expresses.
This piece of news came up in con-
nection with the erection of wire
fences along the company's right of
way, the fences to be used to per-
NIT greater speed for the express
care In order to reduce the danger
from accidents to the minimum. Just
what truth there is in the rumor
could not be found out from anv
source yesterday, though effort was
made in several directions. 1t would
be great and valued improvement.
and better still if some way could be
found to run expresses through to

Fort Lee Fire
Parade And Reuiew
Coming Sept. II

Saturday evening, September IL,
has been definitely decided upon as
che date for the annual parade and
review of the volunteer fire COM
panies of the Borough of Fort Lee.
AS usual the fire ladies will as
semble at the battle monument in
full regalia and be inspected by Fire
Chief Kinsler, Mayor White, and
the council at 7:30 o'clock sharp
After the review is completed, the
different companies will fall into line
and make an extended march over
the upper section of the borough
amid the glare of red fire and strains
of march music. This parade has
been always big feature in the
life of the village. and of late years
las increased greatly III popularity.
Fire Chief Kinsler predicts that
this years parade will be the largest
yet attempted and should easily
eclipse all past performances. Every
one of the four companies has ap-
propriated more money than ever
before, and those who line the streets
of the line of march can look for
something out of the ordinary.

Harvest Moon Dance
At Parish House
Fort Lee Sept. 10

The management of the social end
of the Parish House, Fort Lee, wishes
to announce that the fall activities
will be resumed there, beginning
with a Harvest Moon Dance on Sept.
to, and the ladies and gentlemen who
have been attending the various
unique dances given there during the
past winter will no doubt be glad to
learn of it. The spirit of the Harvest
Moon will be carried out by dressing
as farmers, and the hall will be deco
rated to appear, as much as possible,
like a we'll stocked market. Admis-
sion is by invitation, as usual.
During the short time the Parish
House has been entertaining, it has
attained a popularity that is to be
envied, and every affair has been so
we'll attended, and so thoroughly en-
joyed, that the management has
been literally besieged with requests
for renewal of the good times, and
the Harvest Moon Dance will be no
exception.

Gill Act Is Held
Constitutional
On Small Board

The legality of the Gill Act max
ing Bergen county eligible for the
Small Board of Freeholders was de-
cided by the Supreme Court on last
Tuesday. Justice Swayze dismissed
the application of the present Board
of Freeholders, so that with the
popular sentiment all over the county
in favor of the Small Board, it looks
as though there would be a land
slide at the election against the old
Board.
The validity of the Gill Act was
upheld on all points, and there is
much qualification in all quarters
that the agitation is at last out of
the way.
