WOMEN POSTPONE Meeting.
Northwestern Federation Shows Patri-

Northwestern Federation Shows Patri-
otto Spirit-Considers Home First.
Chicago.-Mrs. Joanna Snowden Por-
ter Of this city, who is the president of
the Northwestern Federation Of Col
ored Womens Clubs, has issued an
open letter to all member clubs Of the
federation and to the press.
Mrs. Porter says: "When we organ
lied we did so to foster and encourage
our women's organizations in club work
along sane, intelligent and progressive
measures. Following this line Of ac-
ton, we have felt it wise and expedi-
ent that we should be in accord with
the national feeling which'is prevalent
and with the idea of the National Coun-
Gil of Defense, which is discouraging
the holding of sectional meetings.
IN harmony with these feelings We
have postponed the meeting of the
Northwestern Federation Of Colored
Women's Clubs, to meet the week be-
fore the National Association Of Col
ored Women in 1913 at the same place,
Cheyenne, Wyo.. where we were TO be
entertained this year by the Women's
Searchlight club Of Cheyenne.
Again, our women are needed at
their homes constantly as possible just
now in view of the fact that our hus-
bands, sons, sweethearts and fathers
are about to be mustered into the fed
eral service, as it appears now. just a
few days before the date Of our post
poned meeting, which was to occur
July 81 and the first three days of
August. The money which we would
have spent on such trip must be con-
servatively spent, In view Of the fact
that living expenses have taken an up
ward fight.
"It seems that We are doing the most
effective club work at this time by es-
tablishing precedent by conserving
home interests primarily and sending
| out from that source such messages
of cheer and good will and by example
showing that our work Is that sOf pro-
tecting home first and letting every
thing noble. uplifting and farreaching
evolve from 1t. .
"Will you therefore use your organs
Of publicity just at this time in publish
ing this? I am in the midst Of cam
paign. of which am chairman. the
object Of which is to raise 81 900 In the
next few weeks for extension work la
the Phillis Wheatley home. the object
| of which is set forth in the circular let
ter sent out by the federation to the
J various clubs"

RACE DOCTORS Defended.
Or. Belsaw Of Mobile, Ala, Champions
Cause of Medical Men.

Cause OF Medical Men.
Mobile, Ala.-Perhaps one Of the
ablest defenses ever put forward by
any member Of an organization for the
betterment Of the race to which he be-
longs was that which was offered re-
Gently by DR.. L. II. Bcisaw. dentist,
of this city with regard to the National
Medical association. DR.. Belsaw in
conversation said:
The statement was made to me Il
few days ago, as it Is frequently made
by thoughtless people Of all races, that
the Negro doctors and dentists never
pursue their studies any longer after
they graduate and as u result they are
not the equals of the white men in thei
same professions. l took the speaker
to task and swampcd him with the fol-
lowing argument: In the first place,
every progressive Negro surgeon. ply
sician, dentist or pharmacist sub
scribes for one or more scientific jour-
nails Of his specific branch of the pro-
fession. and in this way he keeps
abreast Of all new thought and all ad-
vanced theories. In the second place,
liberal proportion Of the Negro pro-
fesslonal men do postgraduate study in,
the leading medical and dental institu-
tions and hospitals both In America
and In Europe. And in the third place
the Negro doctors have their local
medical associations. they have their
state medical associations. they have
their tristatc medical associations. and,
towering above all Of these. they have
their National Medical association.
which Is composed Of the leading sur
geons. the most progressive physicians.
the most advanced dentists and the
most scientific pharmacists in the coun-
try. Attendance upon Il session Of the
National Medical association Is equiva-l
lent to a postgraduate course of study,
In many institutions. The class of pa
pers that are read at these kAeetingsi
and the facts brought out in the dis
cussions are sufficient to prepare man
to cope with any situation met with in
the practice Of his profession. In fact,
he becomes the equal of any MEDICAL
man anywhere. And the surgical Op-
eratiOns, both general and oral. that
are performed at the National Medicali
association meetings are of the highest
type. requiring rare skill and expert
ence. and are demonstrated by NegrOl
surgeons who have the preparation and
experience and technique second to no
class Of surgeons in America

PLEA FOR EQUAL JUSTICE.
Maxwell Says Race Is Willing to Stand
on It's Merit.

on It's merit.
William III. Maxwell of Newark.
N. J., in a letter to the New York Globe
makes a strong plea for fair treatment
of the colored people of. the United
States by the federal government Mr..
Maxwell says:
'"The American people under the
leadership Of President Wilson have
acGuiesced in the idea that the world
must be made safe for democracy
From that idea am sure no God serv-
ing man or woman will dissent.
"But may say to the American peo-
pie through your newspaper that the
world must also be made safe for the
Negro? The Negroes In America are
sorely distressed. There are millions
of bleeding hearts under the jackets of
millions of humiliatcd and depressed
Negroes, and this, too. because of the
unfair treatment dealt out to them at
the hand OF the worlds greatest de-
mocracy. .,
''Thc Negro Graves his chance. He
fairly longs for opportunity to serve
according to his hand and not accord
ing to his face. He wants to be reck-
oned with as a man. II he is really to
hit the mat he wants to hit 1t only
after having had fair chance In the
struggle. He wants justice. He wants
life. He wants liberty and his right
to pursue happiness. Without life ami
liberty no man can pursue happiness.
MAY l urge upon the good white
people OF America TO give the Negro
what he merits: Let this great nation
firmly adhere to oil things which arc
right and maintain abounding faith In
the power Of the unseen hand. Since
all America hopes to get ut least tho
crust Of the bread Of dcinocracT for
the world, please bear In mind that the
Negroes Of America arc a part OF the
world and would like very much to
have little piece OF the crust"

lege courses not only hamper their
general work, but also bring ridicule
on efforts to maintain college classes.
Other Institutions, impressed by the
great plants of the large industrial in
stitutions, spend so much energy and
money in acquiring machinery and
elaborate organizations as seriously to
impair their educational efforts.
'yrhe general poverty of colored
schools, the conflicting claims of va
rious types of education and the pub
lie ignorance Of the real situation all
point to the Importance of state
ment Of the educational needs Of col
ored people,"

GERMAN OPPRESSION IS CITED
Farm Machinery and Money Taken
from Poland.

Washington, Aug. 31.-German op-
preston in Poland is cited in state
ment issued here by a Polish bureau.
"Only recently" the statement re.
cites, "the Germans requisitioned 40,-
600 horses from Poland, taking many
from the fields where the peasants
were trying to till the lands, so men
and women were obliged to draw the
plows. In addition, they seized and
sent to Germany many of the agri-
cultural machines. A million dollars
worth of merchandise also was taken
from Poland.
In Warsaw under German control
the annual budget was increased from
SIG, 200, 900 to $22,50O,00O. In addition
the income from the municipality

pOliomyelitis epidemic last summer to
keep Negro children In good physical

There were no day excursions last
summer, and thirty-seven small boys
who had been examined and were
ready to so were stopped because of
the infaptile paralysis. but eleven girls
from six to twelve years Of age went
to Deposit, N. Y, for four weeks. their
board and fare being paid by the Trib-

try, financed by the Association For
Improving the Condition of the Poor:
two others spent two weeks. their ex-

and ten others were given a week by
the Association For the Blind.
Two hundred visits were made
through the summer by Miss Henri

Texas CoIorod Men Arc Eager to Fight.
While members Of the colored race
are being constantly shot down by
mobs Of white men In different Sec
tions Of the country. the remarka Bile
fact Of eight stalwart colored men
walking l24 miles to enlist in the
army is recorded. The men referred to
walked from Longview to Dallas.
Tex. and upon their arrival they were
told that all the regiments for colored
men were filed and that no more col
ored men are being taken. Thus we
have another fine exhibition Of the col
Ored mans loyalty to his native coun-
try at most trying period Of racial
life under the Stars and Stripes.
