The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-04-22

The meeting in Carnegie Institute
Music Hall, Pittsburgh, for the benefit
of Hampton institute, Virginia, devel-
oped into q memorial to the late Book
err T. Washington and to his work to-
ward the solution of the race problem
in America. Every speaker eulogized
him. the quartet paid tribute to him
in song and an unexpected feature of
the meeting was a presentation OF a
medallion representing Doctor Wash
ington's head. which had been mod
eled in clay by Miss Ruth M. Harris,
now a student in the University OF
Pittsburgh.
There were several hundred persons
at the meeting. numbered among
whom were many prominent men and
ome of Pittsburgh as well as many
Negroes who realize the work that is
being done for their race at Hampton.
The program opened with old planta-
ton melodies sung by graduates of the
school. DR.. john A. Brashear presid-
ed. He drew attention to the fact that
at the last Hampton meeting in Pitts
burgh, two years ago, Doctor Wash
ington was one OF the speakers. Doc
tor Brashear then introduced George
McAneny, managing director of the
New York Times.
Mr.. McAneny said he became inter
ested in Hampton's work when he was
sent there to write a descriptive story
cpnnn tvroVNxr To-, onN Cf,on
that time he has been active in the
work OF Hampton, and of the Tuskegee
institute, which Booker T.. Washing
ton made famous. Mr.. McAneny said
that Hampton has many phases in its
work, but that of which he likes to
think is that it is the scene of the
greatest attempt to reach a solution
of the problem of the place the Negro
is to occupy in this nation. He well
coined Maj. Robert Motion, also a
speaker of the evening, and the prin-
cipal-elect of Tuskegee, as Booker 7.
W~ashington's successor as the leader
of his people.
Major Motions address was an expo
sition of the aims of Hampton-to wipe
from the mind OF the Neg%p the repug.
nance toward manual labor which
came to him when he was freed, to in,
still in him a knowledge of the dignity
and honor of labor of the hands. tc
teach him to believe in himself, and
to respect himself rather than to fee
shame at his color or his ace. He
said that the adjustments of the tive
great extremes-the white and the
black-is the greatest problem this
country faces, and he reioiced in the
belief that Hampton and Tuskegee are
helping to solve it.
A short address was made by Rev
II. B. Turner, chaplain at Hampton
and Miss Harris then presented the
medallion to Major Motion to be pre-
sented, in turn to Tuskegee.

The Negro population of the United
States increased from 757, 20S, OIL 1913
per cent of the total population. in
1890, to 9S27,763, or 1917 e cent
OF the total, in 1910. The increase be-
tween 1900 and 1910 was at the rate
of 11.2 per cent, while during the same
period the white population increased
by 1928 per cent.
Since 1910 there has been a continu-
Gus decrease in the proportion which
Negroes have formed of the total pop
u%lation, due, at least in part, to the
fact that the white population has
been continually augmented by immi-
grafton, while there has been very
little immigration of Negroes during
the past hundred years.

sufficient attention. The South is

the old status of the Negro is gone,

what it can to establish a new one on
an enduring basis. AS the Houston

TO YOU know all that you
L. ought to knew about the carbon
ated beverages you drink-or
that your family drinks at home or
elsewhere2 Particularly about what
the children drinll-where so many
Of their pennies win 90 in hot

You should know, if you value
their health and your own, if you
have any regard for what is pure
and clean and wholesome.
Would you buy bread or meat or
groceries or canned goods you weren't
thoroughly satisfied about? Yet Op-
portunities for deception and harmful
adulteration in what are known as
soft" drinks are practically without
end. 1t IS only by knowing what a
name stands for that you can pro-
tect yourself.
There is a world of difference be-
tween the ordinary unnamed pop and
the honest certified named trade bev-
erages Of the reputable manufacturer
such as the EMPIRE BEVERAGES.
A difference in every possible way ex-
cept one-the price. You pay ex-
actly the same for the good as the
bad-this difference is found in the
quality Of the ingredients used and
the kind of water used, in the sani-
tary conditions under which the bev-
erages are made, in the care or lack
Of care exercised respecting the use
Of clean containers 1t affects the
cost Of manufacture and therefore
the price of the dealer. But to Won
the ultimate consumer, the price is
always the same. So you don't save
anything by using an inferior quality
Of beverages. In fact, the harm You
consent to do your health goes to
benefit the dealer who is hungry for
a larger profit. He will serve you the
