BUSINESS PREPAREDNESS
NEEDED IN U. s., HE SAYS
Col. Robert NJ. Thompson Asserts
Unsound Conditions Exist
in This Country.

Emphasizing the need of business
preparedness throughout the country,
and claiming that the present pros
perity of the United States is based
| upon unsound conditions, Col. Robert
NJ. Thompson, president of the Navy
League, yesterday addressed more than
100 members of the Commercial Club
at luncheon held by that organiza-
tion.
Although for eighteen months a
food of gold has inundated our mar
kets, and prices have gone up" said
Col. Thompson; yet we have $50, ,0o0, 900
less bushels of wheat, half q billion
leas bushels of corn, 100000 less bales
of cotton and only half a crop of Do
tatoes.
The workingman was apparently
| never more prosperous with eight
hours work and increased wages, but
the Increased demand for necessities
and Injuries and the short crops have
jumped the prices Of everything to
| such an extent that real prosperity
| does not exist.
IF for ten years we can stop i'm
migration, can become truly pros
porous. not by stock gambling, but by
DulluinS up our railways ana our fac
tories. by replanting our forests, by
outstanding our mines, by honest and
| efficient work. by using brains on our
| farms SO that we may get the full bene-
| fit of their natural fertility: by dis
couraging the consumption of useless
/ luxuries, by living frugally and Great
ing capital. by the only way that cap
ital can be created-by saving it-by
educating capital and labor to see that
they are friends. not enemies, and by
replacing laws that favor inefiiciency
and make efficiency difficult with laws
that encourage thrift, and not, as now,
punish It by exceptional taxation.
Then, we will be what we are not
nova prosperous. strong, united and
comfortable people.
Fortunately immigration has been
stopped Europe for this generation
will have no surplus men. There is
work Of rebuilding that will keep ali
| it's men busy. The emigrefsts is as4ia bill

Alderman Fisher was put forward
and endorsed by the regular Republic
an organizations and the leaders of the
Third Congressional District as their
popular and worthy candidate for con-
gressional honors and he looks like an
easy winner from start to finish.
He has had eleven years. experience
in the City Council and being one of
its most prominent or conspicuous
members he has faithfully served on
all of its important committees, with
a continuous record of efficient service,
right voting, progressive, constructive
legislation and of large undertakings
initiated and accomplished.
He has been highly endorsed by the
Municipal Voters League and the
Metropolitan Press as follows:
"He is one of the strong men of the
Council; a useful, experienced and
valuable Alderman; one of the most re-
liable men of the council; one of the
42-centimeter guns of the council. He
has proven himself to be an ideal pub
lie official; independent and out

Council. Voters should not allow par
tisan reasons to deprive him of their
vote. Shows watchfulness, honesty
and integrity, with initiative and pow

THREE HUNDRED MILLION RED
CROSS SEALS TO BE DIS
TRIBUTED.
Workers Hope to Realize $1,OO0OOO
For tuberculosis War.

Three hundred million Red Cross
Christmas Seals are being printed in
Cincinnati for the annual holiday
campaign to be conducted under the
joint auspices of the American Red
Cross and The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
lOsis.
The campaign for the sale of Red
Cross Seals this year will be larger
than ever before. Although in 1915
the sale reached the record total of 80,-
100000 seals, bringing in 100000, it
is expected that this year at least 1O0,
100000 seals or 100000 worth will
be sold. The sale will be organized
from Alaska to the Canal Zone and
from Hawaii to Porto Rico. Every
state and territory in the United States
will have seals on sale. New organiza-
tions will be working in a numbe of
the western states, including Montana,
Utah and Wyoming. Distribution Of
the seals is now under way.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal for
1916 was designed by Mr.. T. M. Cleland
of New York City. 1t shows Santa
Claus in red on green background
in the center panel with a pack on
his back bearing red cross. The let
tering GA Merry Christmas" and GA
Happy New Year" is carried vertically
up and down the sides of the seal,
while the date and the words Gamer
lean Red Cross" are across the bottom
of the seal. The poster effect given by
this seal is very striking and makes
an unusually handsome design.

WHEN LINCOLN CAME

The blacklist clouds were hanging low,
When Lincoln came.
We heard the tragic walls of woe,
When Lincoln came.
We heard the harsh and cruel lash;
We saw the bloodhounds leap and
dash,
Through forest, fields and thicket
rash,
When Lincoln came.
A race was chained fast to the rack,
When Lincoln came.
And bending low its bleeding back,
When Lincoln came.
This race had grieved and sorrowed
long,
Endured affection, pain and wrong;
And yet its faith in God was strong,
When Lincoln came.
Ten million souls rejoice today,
That Lincoln came.
They never yet have ceased to pray,
That Lincoln came.
They add encomiums to his name;
They chant new praises to his fame;
While yet they bear reproaeh and
blame,
Since Lincoln came.

cast strictly in the interest of the peo-
pie. Alderman Fishers long and
faithful service in the Council and his
excellent qualifications clearly entitle
him to the nomination.
Alderman Fisher pledges the voters
of the Third Congressional District
that as their Representative in Con-
gress he will render them the same en-
ergetic and efficient service that he has
given to Chicago in its City Council

credit of Alderman Fisher that he has
always been friendly disposed towards
worthy Afro-Americans and every
Colored man residing in the Third Con-
gressional District should on Wednes-
day, September 18th, assist to start
him on the road to Congress, so that
he can aid Congressman Martin B.

A son of a Mexican soldier, he is a

United States Senator since the days
of John A. Logan, who by the way
complimented Mr.. Cummins for his

Endorses full suffrage for women,
and favors the Budget System of APP

His wide acquaintance and expert

others than in other countries. It is
the only sense in which there is equal
ity; here the democratic principle is
adopted, and all come together as
equals, and unite the rich and the poor,
the high and the low, in an equal right
to hate the Colored man; and its opera
tions upon the mind and character are
cruel and disastrous; as it is murderous
and wicked in itself. One needs to feel
it, and to wither under its effects, to
know it; and the Colored men of the
United States, wherever found, and in
whatever circumstances, are living
epistles, which may be read by all men
in proof of all that is paralyzing to en-
terprise, destructive to ambition, ruin
Gus to character, crushing to mind, and
painful to soul, in the monster, Preju-
dice. For it is found equally malignant,
active and strong associated with the
mechanical arts, in the workshop, in
the mercantile houses throughout the
land, in the commercial affairs of the
country, in the halls of learning, in the
temple of God, and in the highways
and hedges. 1t almost possesses
ubiquity; it is everywhere, doing its
deleterious work wherever one of the
prescribed class lives and moves.'
The Colored American suspended
publication in 1912, because the four
hundred thousand freedmen then in
the United States did not support it.
There is a suspicion that threats of
White slave owners had their part in
intimidating would-be readers and in
other ways obstructing the progress
of the publication. Very good rea-
sons make this suspicion tenable, for
stronger utterances for Negro rights
had yet to be heard, and no worse
agencies existed than this for stirring
up discomfort among the hapless Afri-
cans.
The first really successful paper
was Frederick Douglass's The North
Star, published in Rochester, N. Y,
in 1S47. From the first issue the edi-
tor, who stood head and shoulders
above any anti-slavery orator, got
his organ accepted as the national
mouthpiece. Douglass was not only
an orator, but fortunately for his pa
per, a logical and forceful writer,
and besides he had the good sense to
gather around him contributors from
all parts of America and the West
Indies, and even from Europe. The
Rising Sun expressed the view that
Frederick Douglass ability as an ed
itor and publisher has done more for
the freedom and elevation of his race
than all of his platform appeals"
However this may be, none of his eff
forts was more successful, and for
sixteen years he demonstrated that a
Black man is equal to a White man in
conducting a useful and popular jour
