When at Work Keep Busy.

Sometimes an abundance of time
spoils q man for the best work.
1t has been noted that most men do
their best under pressure. Too often
men are spoiled by not being Kept

there are some who can stand to be
busy by spurts. But the average man
begins to loaf when occasion offers

;iUN HATE PLAINLY SHOWN
Press Utterances During the Spanish
War Were Worthy Of tho German
at His Best.

How the Germans regarded us in
the period Of the war with Spain is set
forth by Andrew D. White, ex-ambas-
sador to Germany, in his autobiogra-
ply published by the Century COM
pany.
0 my settling down to the busi-
s Of the embassy Qs97-19O3)," he
writes. sit appeared that the changes
in public sentiment since my former
stay as minister, IS years before, were
great indeed. At that time German
feeling was decidedly friendly to the
United States. But all this was now
changed. During the Spanish
war 1t was especially virulent, their
newspapers being full of statements
and arguments to show that corrup-
ton was the main characteristic OF
our government, cowardice Of our
army II navy, and hypocrisy Of our
people. . . /. Various newspapers in
Germany charged our government with
a wonderful assortment Of high
rlme and misdemeanors; but, hap
ply, In their eagerness to cover us
with obloquy, they frequently refuted
each other.
THUS they one day charged us with
having prepared long beforehand to
crush Spain and to rob her of her
West Indian possessions, and the next
day they charged us with plunging into
war suddenly, recklessly, utterly care
less OF consequences. One moment
they insisted that American sailors
belonged to a deteriorated race of
mongrels and could never stand
against pure-blooded Spanish sailors:
ana the next moment, that we were
crushing the noble navy Of Spain BY
brute force. Various presses INDUCED
IN malignant prophecies; the Ameri-
cans would find Spain a very hard nut
to crack; Spanish soldiers would drive
the American mongrels into the sea
when Cervera got out his fleet the
american fleet would stink away:
American ships, built under a regime
of corruption, would be found fur.
nlshed with sham plating, sham guns
and sham supplies Of every sort.
Against President Mckinley every sort
OF iniquity was charged. One day he
was an idiot; another day the most
cunning of intriguers at n moment
an o~yerbearing tyrant anxious to rush
into war; at another a coward fearing
war;"

BUSINESS MEN FORM
LIFE INSURANCE co.
By Lucille Smith

What is thought to be one of the most
progressive business enterprises of the
Race, will be an Old Line Legal Reserve
Life Insurance Company conducted en-
lirely by Negroes. This Company will
be known as The Liberty Insurance
Company. 1t was incorporated under
the laws of Illinois, June Both.
There has been a longfelt need Of
just such a company as this one among
the Race for number of years; but it
has been impossible TO finance SO large
an undertaking. There has never been
AN Old Line Company conducted by
Negroes before for various reasons. The
first and most important, the large
amount of capital which is required by
the state. Second, the impossibility of
getting the colored men with money,
influence, and brain together on such q
gigantic undertaking. But the Oppres-
sion that is encumbent upon colored
people in every cline under the canopy
of heaven has awakened these men 10
the necessity of cooperation.
1t came as a surprise to the most Opt
mistic youngsters who dream dreams OF
race solidarity to see Oscar DE Priest,
n. X. Jackson, J. l.. Slaughter, W. X.
Cowan, David Manson, Geo. Holt, Chas.
Jackson. Henry Cole, NJ. o. Bousfeld,
Anthony Overton, V. l.. Williams, +. l..

ferences, eradicate all social barriers
and band themselves together 10 put the
Race on the map of the commercial
world.
The writer's enthusiasm over the
birth of this proposition renders him I'M
able TO give the facts. However, stock
will be on the market in few DAYS and
literature will be put into the hands OF
everyone, even the most insignificant
child that peddles papers ON the street
or who leads the blind mems band.
The names of these men IN connection
with any proposition can spell but one

At the Stockyard's Labor Council as
early as 10 O'Clock Sunday, the workers
were crowded in the halls and offices and
at the same time crowding Pauhna
Street from 47th to 4sth to the very

importance of this parade and what the
benefit would mean to the organization,
especially conducted on the South Side.
The old line of march as planned by
Yhe parade committee was for the South
West side locals to assemble at 4sth ana

North on State to 43rd and there JOIN

North ON State to goth, East on 10th to

West on 33rd to Wentworth TO the play

held. This of course appeared alright to
as. but the line of march as revised by

Police, was for the workers that as
sembled at 48th and Paulina Streets to
march East on 47th to Halsted and then
North on Halsted to 33rd and East tc
Wentworth. "eNoW, DO YOU SEE

who assembled on 43rd Street and State
were given permission to march Nortf
