VIEWS ON INDUSTRIAL PROB.
LENS.

Col. Roosevelt enumerated some OF
the industrial problems that must be
solved. He advocated cooperation
among individuals and control by the
government to help business men
succeed, but demanded a fair divis-
ion of profits among all concerned.
Workingmen, he said should have
their right insured to collective ac-
ton, including collective bargaining.
In a very real sense, he said, they
should be made partners in the bus
iness with share in the profits and,
at least along certain lines "a share in
the control. But. there must be no
limiting of production mo reduction
of the efficiency of the skilful and
hardworking men to the plane of the
shiltfess and inefficient.
I, Insurin6 the rights Of the farmer
he said, should be a cardinal feature
of the national policy. The farmer
should be enabled to own his own
farm. Legislation to make the work
ing farmer land owner should be al
once enacted.
Drastic action should be taken,
said the colonel, ito stop the pur
chase Of agricultural land for spec
ulative purpose. System of market
ing must me developed so as to dc
away with the hold-up methods that
in so many places, still obtain" .

Building Friday, Sept. 9th at 10 a. m.
l want to urge and earnestly request
very minister in Nashville, who is
interested in the betterment Of his
people and advancement of the King

If there ever was a time in all the
history of the world that the minis
ters of Jesus Christ should forget
their denominational differences and
lay aside their petty jealosies, get
together and work together for the
good of all the people, it is now.
We are charged with being a divid-
ed race. Are we guilty?' If we are
guilty, our leaders are largely respon-
sible, that's all. How in the world
can we expect the people to get to-
gether, when we are so far apart?

spend one hour in prayer, meditation
and in the consideration of subjects
that are vital to the best interest OF
the people among whom and for whom

During these peculiar times through
which we are passing our people are
looking to us for advice, council and
direction. So, let us NEE tonce week
as it were in an Upper Room that
we might be better prepared for the
work committed to us.
What would the devil think ant
do, should he hear that the Negro
ministers Of Nashville had gotten to
gether and united their forces for tht
destruction of his (devil's) damnabl'
business in Nashville?
He would doubtles STEEL like resign

one in the annal of the race is the
Nineteenth Annual Session of the
National Negro Business League,
which met in this city this week be-
ginning August 21 and ended Friday
evening with one of the most notable

features Of the sessions were the ad-
dresses of welcome by Governor w.

In delivering the welcome address
on behalf of the State of New Jersey
he spoke of the great progress made
by the race in the face Of the blind
prejudice which confronts it. He
said that the attaining of education
first was the stepping stone to branch
out and become partof the business
of the country. He gave a clear
definition of democracy and said that
it must be emphasized at home as well
as abroad.
Continuing he said;
I'VE are talking democracy and
writing about it but getting further

Therefore by next spring we

 Over the broad sloping field border ed by low trees, half dozen other airplaneS are wheelin, in the sunny sky. The suns rays are glinting from their wings and the colors of their insignia flash brightly as they turn and twist.
 A score or more of aviatorS perSpir- ing in Arctic furS, fur-lined helmets and boots hasten here and there while men in Soiled and greasy khaki cling to the wings of the airplaneS tugging to be free.
