JEWS AND coLoREo PEOPLE.

There are, in this country, more
than 100000 colored people, nearly
as many as there are Jews in the
entire world. The black man has
been fighting the race problem near
ly 200 years, and the Jews have been
fighting it 5000 years. Will the col
ored man continue to fight the race
problem or will he profit by the eN-
perience of the Jews? We have won
our freedom; we have our rights un-
der the law regardless of the fact
that we are denied our privileges.
But could we unite our forces like
the Jew and turn our disadvantages
into advantages and give one-tenth
of the time, the energy, the influence
the contribution, the eloquent
speeches and the prominence that we
give to the discussion of equa
rights and the problem, to actua
work in organizing, promoting. sup
porting and maintaining business
corporations among our people, will
the industrial foundation we nov
have, we could within a few years
| like the Jew, buy our way through
race prejudice and discrimination.

Gated at X. c. is the Muehlebach brew
cry which, few years ago, erected a
large hotel. One of the rules of this
hotel was that no Oolored man or wo
man should be permitted in the build
ing for any reason whatsoever. The
Colored people at once began boy
colt of the Muehlebach beer, the same
being rather effective. Then when
the election came and the question
was put up TO them, they voted almost
in a body for the dry issue in retail
iation of the brewery's act, The re
suit was that Jackson county went
dry by an astonishing majority. Mis-
souri, went wet, but apetition is now
being passed to adopt local option ant

ADVICE TO NEGROES

The National League on Urban Con-
ditions among Negroes has issued the
following circular letter:
Negroes in large numbers are leav-
ing the South for the North. Many
are securing good positions. Thosee.
who are sober and respectable and
know how to give an honest days toll
are holding their positions. The IN
dolent, inefficient men, however, are
soon discharged, become burden TO
the Northern communities and bring
reproach and humiliation to thirty
colored citizens In communities
where white people have not hitherto
considered Negroes desirables.
The National League on Urban Con-
dftions among Negroes urges the
right-thinking Negroes of the South
and everywhere to discourage the
wholesale migration of shiftless peo-
pie between any two points, be they
North or South. The League also
warns Negroes against fraudulent
agents who are collecting employment
fees and who disappear soon after
wards.
Negro labor is in demand. Use
that fact to improve the efficiency oi
that labor by demanding-First, bet
ter wages where the wages of color
ed men are below the current wage;
second, better working conditions sc
that your health will not be impaired
by the work you do; third, better hy
ing conditions both for yourself ant
family, so that your efficiency as
worker will not be impaired by hvini
conditions which prevent proper res
and recreation to fit you for the day.
labor, and base these demands on tn
facts that all these things will maxi
your work more valuable to yoursel
and to your employer and make 10
better feeling between the races.
The National Urban League urge
Negroes everywhere to take advar
tage of this great industrial oppol
tunity to work in cooperation wit
their local neighbors whether Mort
or South, for the Improvement OF cor
ditions which will affect both races

BIRTHDAY DINNER.

Henry Perry, the Barbecue King,
18th and Vine streets, celebrated his
forty-second birthday last Monday by
giving a game dinner to party of
his friends. Henry was born in Shell
by county, Tennessee, and came to
Kansas City in 1907, and so successful
has he been that five years ago a
specially constructed building was
erected for his business, and the Sun
can truthfully say that he is doing the
biggest business of any Negro in
Greater Kansas City His meat bill
alone averages $3.50 weekly and his re-
ceipts average $75 a day. He is genial
accommodating and courteous, but
strictly business like at all times. A
Christian gentleman and Mason and
one of the few Negroes with bust
ness rating in Kansas City. Those
present at the feast, which consisted
of roast duck, opossum with sweet po
tatoes, barbecued pork, mutton anC
ribs, Southern gumbo soup and othe
refreshments were: Drs. ]. K. Dibble
S. H. Thompson,s Mcqueen Carrion, Z
B. Ramsey, attorney; w. B. Bruce
undertaken; ]. w. Jones, Mr.. A. W
Harris of the Commercial Printers
and Editor N. C. Crews.
To say they did justice to the menu
goes without saying, and it was at on
time thought that Br'er Harris an
Ramsey would need the services {
the undertaken who was present.
