William n. Steward Given L.. D. De-
gree by an Alabama College.
Normal Ala.-A newspaper man is
sometimes treated to a taste of the
good things he hands out so prodigally
to others. 1t is especially fitting to
hand out nosegays TO journalists when
they belong to that revered class of
race builders of which William III.
Steward is a conspicuous example. Mr..
Steward is the editor Of the American
Baptist, Louisville, KY, where it has
enjoyed a continuous existence since
1879. This makes Mr.. Steward practi-
cally the dean Of Journalism among US.
The late Booker T. Washington once
styled Mr.. Steward as the ''race's great
est layman," pensmith always with
preachers.
At the A. and NJ. college here Mr..
Steward recently delivered the Found
ers' day address, and, although the
speaker modestly disclaimed all pre-
tensions TO being an orator, the speech
was pronounced by faculty, trustees
and student body to have'been one Of
the most practical, helpful and inspir-
ing deliverances heard in the south
land in many a day.
The authorities of the school united
in request to have Mr.. Steward re-
turn for the recent commencement eX-
ercises, but business engagements made
this impossible. Nevertheless in his
absence the board of trustees and fac
ulty conferred upon him the honorary
degree Of doctor Of laws, an unusual
compliment. The degree Of A. M.
was conferred upon Mr.. Steward some
years ago.

BUSINESS WOMEN TO HOLD
MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA
National Convention Of Walker Repre-
sentatives Scheduled For Aug. 80.

Philadelphia.-The two big events Of
national Importance scheduled to take
place in this city the last week in Au-
gust are the annual meeting of the
National Medical association and the
first national convention Of representa-
tives of the Madam c. J. Walker COM
pany. This latter convention will be
composed solely Of business women
and will be the only one Of its kind
ever held in this section.
The object Of this meeting, aside
from the bringing together of the rep
resentatives Of the company from the
various parts Of the country, is to dis
cuss and put into operation the plans
which Madam Walker has mapped out
for placing the work on footing where.
by all the workers may share alike in
the benefits according to the net re-
suits Of business.
In order to inspire the workers to
greater activity Madam Walker has
set aside $500 to be distributed in
prizes to the representatives securing
the largest number Of new workers.
the largest amount Of business done,
etc. The convention will be held for
two days, beginning OH Thursday, Aug
30. The contest closes Aug. l. All
persons who enter the contest should
register their name at the home Office.
64O North West street, indianapolis.
Madam Walker deserves great credit
for opening up opportunities for the
women Of the race to engage in busi-
ness for themselves. Through her sys-
tenn Of work hundreds Of women are
making an Independent living, and
there is room for hundreds of others
to do likewise. 1t is long way from
the sugar cane field and the washtub
at IS cents and S1.50 per day to own
ership of business enterprise which
commands high recognition by both
races In the mercantile world, yet this
Is what Madam Walker has accom-.
plished.

the members Of the church and its
friends to celebrate this anniversary in
appropriate fashion.
The Christian Recorder is the oldest
race journal now in existence. 1t was
founded in 1852 in Philadelphia,
where it has existed ever since. 1t is
the only race newspaper which helped
to fight for the abolition Of slavery
which is now in existence. Some of
the most brilliant men Of the race have
filled it's editorial chair. Its first editor
was Rev. Narcellus M. Clark, who
was one of the very few Negroes to
graduate from college during the first
half of the nineteenth century; then
followed Rev. (afterward bishop Jabez
p. Campbell, Rev. Elisha Weaver, Rev.
(now bishop B. T. Tanner, Rev. (now
bishop B. f. Lee and Rev. FL. T. John
son.
The present editor is Rev. r. r.
Wright, Ph. D., who serves in the dou-
BILE capacity of editor Of the Christian
Recorder and manager Of the Book
Concern. When DR.. Wright was made
editor at the age Of thirty he was the
youngest man ever so honored by the
church, though from the point Of view
Of education he was one of the best
prepared, having made for himself
quite an enviable record as q writer on
sociological topics prior to his election
to this position. He is q doctor of phi
losophy from the University Of Penn
sylvania and studied in the universi-
ties of Berlin and Leipzig, Germany.
The Christian Recorder is the ma.
tional organ of the A. M. q. church
and is circulated in all parts Of the
United States, in South America and
the West Indies and South Africa and
numbers among its contributors some
of the ablest men and women of the
race. According to the bishops procla-
nation every one Of the 1000 African
Methodist churches is called upon to
celebrate this anniversary in very
tangible and helpful way by helping to
pay of the debt Of $4,000. Indications
are that this debt will be paid of on
the day named, the fifth Sunday In
July. Already many have subscribed
many Of the bishops themselves lead
ing of with 500 or more.
General officers have subscribed, and
leading men, both ministers and lay
men Of the church, in Georgia. Texas
Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee. South
and North Carolina and other states
have subscribed from S. to 500. The
purpose is to pay of the debt so that
it will give DR.. Wright opportunity tc
develop a paper in keeping with the
greatness of the A. NJ. E. church and
give it a subscription list of 100000.
On July 20 there will be a special

I'VE shall never submit to being less
than equals" continued the speaker,
Il hate lynching, segregation, discrim-
ination and disfranchisement, not only
because it affects me, but because it
gives to other nations a handle to
beat us over the head with. I hate
them because it enables the enemies
of free institutions to taunt us with
our hypocrisy.
"The government at Washington for
many months has been calling for men
for the army and navy. Patriotic cit.
izens Of color have been offering them
selves to both branches of the SER
vice only to be met with the reply,
We are not taking colored people
here This action is wholly without
warrant, or authority, or law, and in
the pursuance of the policy of segre-
cation, notwithstanding that the pro-
fessed aims and purposes of this coun-
try in the war is to establish democ-
racy among all men. No matter if we
do dislike Des Moines and covet Platts-
burg, we can bide our time If we can
get a little justice, a. little fair play.
