Bell River, Minn.-Gus Boyer,

Northern Construction Company, hav-
ing completed the city power plant at
Alex, is now erecting the Roman
Catholic Church at Bell River, MINI.

Charles w. Anderson, supervisor of
a branch of the Department of Agri-
culture of the state of New York
that has to do with the inspection of
dairy, poultry and garden products,
and the bonding of the promoting
companies to observe the law, holds
one of the most responsible positions
ever occupied by a member of the
race in this country. His dealings are
almost exclusively with the whites,
and his tact and mastery of the art
of diplomacy enables him to get along
happily with both the farmer and the
legal fraternity for whom he acts as
connecting link in bringing produce
and the people together. Mr.. Ander
son has not lost sight of politics
he could not do so if he would. He
is once again the actual leader of his
election district and is keeping pace
with the newer developments of po-
litical science. He wisely says: The
man who essays to stay in politics
must keep up to the minute and ad-
Just himself to the things that are.
He who clingeth to the old order
when the new has the call, will be
broken on the wheel"

Preceding the inaugural address of
Major Motion on Commencement
Day, a bronze bust of DR.. Booker T..
Washington was presented to the In
stitute by Dr.. William j. Schieffelin,
Trustee of New York, which was pur-
chased by the trustees from the sculp-
tor, Miss Leila Usher, of New York
City. Only two such busts have been
carved by the sculptor, the other
having been bought and presented by
friends to Hampton Institute, Vir-
ginia. The one presented to Tuskr-
gee Institute will occupy a permanent
place in the Institute Chapel. The
bust is life size and bears striking
resemblance to the late Principal of

THE GEORGIA BAR AND LYNCH
ING.

The Georgia Bar Association held
it's annual meeting last week at Ty
bee Beach. George W. Owens of Sa-
vannah, the president aroused much
interest by his severe criticism of
those who brought the State into dis
repute. AS a remedy he recommend
ed that there be a change in the laws
of the State so that person could be
indicted for taking part in lynchings
in a county other than that in which
the crime was committed.
On the following day Robert C.
Aston, of Atlanta, general counsel of
the Southern Express Company, read
paper in which he suggested Fed
eral interference to stop lynching in
Georgia.
The mere fact that members of the
Georgia Bar Association now dare to
discuss remedies for lynching, and
above all, such a remedy as Federal
Interference, is a hopeful sign that
the conscience of the South will final
ly be awakened and sentiment
aroused against this terrible crime

Seventeenth Annual Session Of
National Negro Business League

Tuskegee, Ala, June 5.-For fore
casting the attendance at an annual
meeting of the National Negro Busi-
ness League, circumstances have
never been more auspicious than they
are this year. When the cohorts OF
Negro business men journey west
ward to Kansas City, Missouri, for the
Seventeenth Annual Session which is
to be held August 16, IT and IS, 1916,
they will find a'aiting them "a royal
welcome"
During the month of August no less
than four important organizations
will hold their annual sessions in
Kansas City, and this will help to
make the conditions for attendance
more encouraging than ever before.
By each organization bringing its
quota of visitors, the railroads will be
in position to concede the most lib
eral terms in the way of reduced fare
and accommodations. Among the or
ganizations which meet in Kansas
City in August are the following
Missouri State Grand Lodge of Mas
ons, the National Medical Associa-
ton. the National Alliance of Postal
EMPLOYEES, and the National Negro
Business League-with it's affiliated
bodies-The National Negro Press AS
sociation, The National Negro Fu-
neral Directors Association, The Ma
tional Negro Insurance Association,
The National Negro Retail Merchants
Association and the National Negro
Bar Association.
Kansas City is the pride of the MID
die West. The white and colored peo-
ple work together for the development
of their city and by reason of this
feeling of good will between the races,
the colored people enjoy a prosperity
along business and educational lines
which is a source of inspiration to all
who visit Kansas City. Since the
first of the year the colored people
of Kansas City have been discussing
plans and forming preliminary organ
izations for the comfort and enter
tainment of the hundreds of visitors
who will be their guests during the
month of August. No small part of
their attention is centering around
the coming meeting of all of the Ma
tional Negro Business League and our
delegates may be assured most
cordial reception. Mr.. Fortune j.
Weaver, the popular and aggressive
president of the Kansas City Local
Negro Business League has written
the most encouraging letters to the
Secretary of the National League re-
garding the prospects for success

MAN STARTLES
AUTO WORLD-SOlVES
THE GASOLINE PROBLEM

Chattanooga, Tenn-In Churchville
lives a colored man who hopes to rival
Henry Ford in cheapening transporta-
tion and by his own invention divert
much of the flow of gasoline profits
from Rockefeller's hoard of gold.
Mythical as it may sound, he would
replace gasoline with green-tinted
water. And in the green tint is a pow
erful force-unpatented and unknown,
tbs said, save to the one Churchville
man.
w. B. Tarando, 300 Sharp avenue,
Churchville, is British subject; says
he came to Chattanooga seven years
ago from Kingston, Jamaica, and oper-
ates a small grocery store. The only
history of what he claims as his in
venticn is his assertion that he
worked up the promised substitute
for gasoline in his little crude labora-
tory.
Three cents worth of his strange
mixture is put into each gallon of
water, the basic ingredient of the pro-
pelling liquid.
G. w. Nixon, president of the Nixon
Mining Drill Company, found the
Churchville inventor, and has started
to help him develop what may be
great possibilities in the trade.
Recently Mr.. Nixon told the story
to a newspaper man. He admitted
that it sounded incredible, SO offered
a demonstration.
Tarando was called and mixed
small quantity of the green-tinted
liquid in gallon of water. The mix
ture was poured into the gasoline
tank of a six-cylinder Grant automo-
bile-all traces of gasoline having
Deen removed. hugh NIXON TOOK the
wheel and a flying trip was made to
Orchard Knob and back to the city.
Fifteen and six-tenths miles were
covered, and still the gauge showed
that the gallon of propelling liquid
was not exhausted.
The automobile apparently speeded
forward as though the best grade of
gasoline was flowing into the multiple
cylinders, but produced different
odor from its exhaust pipe. The
strange, peculiar odor was entirely
different from that of gasoline
Tarando, with sealed lips, is guard
ing his secret.

lives were lost and eighty-nine per-

mated at S69,530. This small list OF
accidents for the country is due to the

lations. Most OF the explosions were
OF low-pressure boilers used for heat

Bryan and Roosevelt

wv LILLIAN j. BRYAN and Theodore Roose-
w welt both disapprove President Wilson's
action in calling Germany sternly to account.
Mr.. Bryan says it would be "a crime against
civilization for this country to go into the
war" while Colonel Roosevelt insists we
should have gone to year ago, and
having failed TO do SO then, must not consider
the possibility now.
Mr.. Bryan seems to believe that war is
never justified. In his theory American
citizens. at the summons and on the demand
OF belllgerent nation, should surrender their
right TO travel the high seas. AS the Presi-
dents message to Congress points out, Ger
man submarines have not limited their at
tacks to the ships of their enemies, but
vessels OF neutral ownership, even vessels
of neutral ownership bound from neutral
port to neutral port, have been destroyed
along with vessels of belligerent ownership"
Neither has destruction been confined to
the war zone" around the British Isles that
Germany sought to establish Ships have
been sent to the bottom. without warning and
without mercy, wherever they have been ell
cOuntered.
1t goes without saying that this nation,
whatever MIR. Bryan may think, will not
endure the continuance of such outraEes
against law and human nifty. His own State
has registered its dsapproval of his course
and policy. and the action of Nebraska Demo
Gratis reflects the will Of the whole people
AS for Colonel Roosevelt, he has become
ludicrous. Since the began he has oc-
cupied dozen different and conflicting posi-
tons, but for the last six months he has been
clamorous for with Germany Only a
httle while ago he was organizing regiment
of Roughriders to drive the Kaiser out of
France and Belgium. Now he is quite likely
to get what he has said he wanted and he
tears his hair and splits the unoffending air
with Wild lamentations If he were half the
patriot he processes to he, lie would be sun
porting, in this time Of peril the leader of
the nation. AS he is what he is, he gravi-
tates between the contemplate and the
grotesque.
Mr. Wilson has been patient. He has felt
it to be his compelling duty to strive un-
ceasingly to keep his country out of war, and
he has done all that man could. Colonel
Roosevelt condemns the effort, Mr.. Bryan its
abandonment under any circumstances. Be-
tween these extremes stand the American
people. Whatever the politicians say the
great mass of his countrymen are with the
