The progress Of the colored people
of the United States in education, busi-
ness and the various professions Is
creditable and worthy of commenda-
tion. There are few avenues of indus
try into which some member Of the
race has not engaged with measurable
success. This advance is largely due
to education, aspira ton and able lead
ership through organized effort. In
this connection we doubt If any organ
ization has been more helpful than the
National Negro Business league.
In the new field Of development of
racial activities, such as light dramas,
vaudeville and photoplays, the race is
making splendid Roadway. The Lin
coin Motion Picture company, with
headquarters In Los Angeles and a
branch Office in Philadelphia. is one of
the most potent movements launched
by Negro capital. The company has
for its object the presentation of mo-
ton pictures showing Negro progress
as portrayed by Negro characters.
It offers a direct contradiction to the
films that present the Negro in an al
together erroneous light. In this d.
rection the company has done much
towurd educating the public relative
to the best side of the Negroes life and
to break down Impressions, based alto
gether upon prejudice and injustice.
The company was organized primarily
to meet this condition and to furnish
to the ambitious young men and wQ.
men Of the race an unexpected field.
The president Of the company is No.
BILE M. johnson, who is one Of the best
known young men in his line among
us. Mr.. johnson is employed with the
Universal Photoplay company and has
starred in such well known photo
