Among the score of letters is one
from Col. Henry d. Linsley, who be-
lieves in the higher education and
the best possible citizenship of all
races. We should like much to pub
lish the long list of letters, but space
will not permit.
The Express wishes for DR.. Harllee
an abundance success In his chosen
field. and that his practice may be
in keeping with his ability.
In this connection, we wish to men,
toin some other young men of Dali
las deserving as being worthy and
proficient also In their Profession or
business career. We have spoken
already of the two sons of Hon. J. P.
Starks, young men and co-partners
with their father. These two sons of
Mr.. Starks take naturally TO busi-
ness and to sensible transaction of
the same. Not long since these two
sons, out of their hard earned money,
made an investment in real estate of
$4,000 an investment that nets
hundred dollars month. Brains and
common sense must ever rule. We
wish to congratulate the sons, Mr..
Clarence and his brother Ewell
Starks. Go on young men, you have
found the rosetta stone that has long
been rejected by the eNgro race, the
want OF which has done more than
the prescription of other races to
keep us down. The Negro must get
money, must get into the commercial
center Of activity that knows no
race, no distinction, but success.
What shall we say of sour own DR..
G. l.. Morgan, Dallas boy, a grad
uate of the Dallas Colored High
School? DR.. Morgan rose up from
the ranks Of a large number OF, boys
that followed him till he rose up
eagle like and scared up above the
mountains OF difficulty and became
the successful physician that he is,
coupled with his keen appreciation of
business. He is headed the right way.
We want more Negro lads like the
Morgans and the Starks
We feel sure that Dr. Russell Trot-
ter, after his thorough preparation,
counts the time for such special pre-
paration. well spent. We wish for
him successful career. We are
tired OF telling what some one did
that we do not know and would not
know IL we saw him, but let us talk
more and more of those we see and
know like DIR. Russell Trotter and
others, concrete example counts all
through life, in school and every
where. We cannot think of DIR. Trot-
ter without thinking OF the sacrifice
that his parents made to make him
the man of the hour. DR.. Trotter
is a graduate of our Dallas Colored
high school, and has also fastened
his hold upon the community. Upon
the shoulders of our young men rests
the destiny of the race. and since
this is true, let us honor them and
cheer them as we go down and they
go up to usefulness and successful
career.
There is Leroy Gates. another
graduate of the Colored high school
now DR.. Leroy Gates. dentist.
worthy son OF Dallas, whose parents
have done what they could to make
him a light, and such he il striving
TO be.
DR.. Owran Thompson, the son Of
our Hon. H. s. Thompson. the veter-
an educator has settled down to
practice his profession in the city
of Detroit. We do not begrudge De-
troit, but we are. to say the least
Jealous, because Dallas is our first
love and we always want the hest
for our own city and our own people.
We know that DR. Owran THOMPSON
has the example of his father before
him and as such he cannot fail. Our
young men are to form a solid pha-
lank OF sterling worth wherever thev
are. and 1t is not where they are
but what they are that must count
In studying the funda and flora, we
usually locate them in certain eff
mate, but for man, we expect for
him to make his climate and n
thrive there as though he were to
the manner horn.
We wish to mention briefly Mr.
Herman Lee, also graduate Of our
Colored h.gh school. who has been
EMPLOYED as an Instructor in the
Manual Department Of the San An
