Political Reforms Needed.
Fashions and mankind move i'm recur-
ring cycles. Some years ago, through
Mr.. Manning's efforts in the collection
of convincing evidence, a large number
Of fraudulently, elected Democratic
congressman were elected from their
seats. Today there Is a growing dis

The progress of the cOlored people
of the United States in education, bust
ness and the various professions is

ton. 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, aspirat ton and able lead
ership through organized effort. In
this connection we doubt II 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 headway. 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.
1t 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
toward educating the public relative
to the best side of the Negro's 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 wo-
men Of the race an unexpected field.
The president Of the company is No
ble 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
dramas as Intolerance" 'The Wet
ern Governors Humanity" 1.-The
Death Warrant" and others. He
knows every phase of the business.
and in this direction he is able to bring
to his work the background that is
necessary to make it real and interest
ing. The officers are DR.. ]. Thomas
Smith. vice president and treasurer.
and Clarence A.. Brooks, secretary, all
Of whom are well known business men.
The entrance of the Negro into this
field, which is the Afth greatest indus
try in the. world. is doing more to get
the correct side of Negro life before
the nation than any other single agen-
cy. The first Negro picture produced
by this company was entitled "Realiza-
tion of Negro's Ambition" which
was a two part drama based upon
love and adventure and which pre-
sented the true ambition Of colored
youths asniration.

WORTHY Of CONFIDENCE.

German Intrigue Will Not Corrupt Col.
ersd Americans, Says Col. Copeland.
Hampton, Va.--The large gathering
Of colored Americans in the gymna-
STUN Of the. Hampton Normal and Az
ricultural institute recently, the speech
es which were made by men Of that
race and the response Of the audience
to the patriotic appeals Of speakers Of
both races were sufficient proof that the
Negroes are loyal to the flag and may
be counted upon to do their share Of
the Aghting. It was notable fact that
the highest tributes to the loyalty Of
colored Americans were paid by Colo
nsl w, s. Copeland, governor Of the
Soldiers home, near here. .....
He Ia q veteran of the war between
the states and Virginia editor whose
early life was spent in a southern state
while that war was in progress and
who knew by experience the fidelity Of
the colored people. German intrigue
presumes that all men are traitors at
heart and may be weaned from their
allegiance by bribery, says Colonel
Copeland, but German intrigue will not
corrupt the cOlored citizens of this
country.
.'"The Negro, the southern Negro, the
Negro citizen Of the United States, as
anybody familiar with, his character
knows full WELL" says the Christian
Science Monitor, unfortunately for the
purposes Of the German strategist, d.
plomatist and conspirator, Is loyalty
personified. He is true to the core. He
has given countless exhibitions Of self
sacrificing devotion such us have left,
neither In the south, north nor In the
nation as q whole, any lingering doubt
Of his personal or national fidelity.
HE is loyal to q cherished conviction
In the southern household, in the south
ern community, In the southern heart
and wherever he is best known as he
deserves to be throughout the land.
He Is not treacherOus, he Is not deceit
ful, he is not underhanded, he is not
ungrateful, he is not a plOtter, he is
not q .conspirator. He is not at all de-
serving Of the confidence or reliance Of
the imperial German government in
any enterprise that calls for treason"
There are renegades in the colOred
race as there are renegades in the
white race, says the Newport News
(Va.) Daily Press editOrially, but as .
people they are faithful and loyal. In
this community there have been many
expressions on the part of the whites of
their faith in the loyalty and patriot
Ism Of the colored people and that
faith will not be betrayed.
