A FREE UNITED
RACE HOSPITAL
WITHOUT WHITE
BOSSES.

In the line of progress and race
development, we must not forget that
We must concentrate, and focus our
energy and determining force where
it is most needed
Keeping alive ever the idea of the
dominant spirit needed in any race,
and that which vitalizes effort along
the chief fields of racial endeavor is
the evidence of racial conscious
ness.
The Hospital promoted by Us and
without the official white millionaire
to dictate is Offered wholly, and
controlled only by Negro doctors.
Away, and above the cupidity and
treachery of any foolish nonsense
of white superiority, we have our
own colored graduated superinten-
dent and nurses to look after our
own colored patients.
We are yet in our early years of
race consciousness, but we are doing
what we can do to promote very
needed enterprise, but without the
concerted action of our real vital
forces, you, your neighbor, and all
of US we will ever be handicapped in
all of our great movements that
should speak eloquently of our de-
velopmen and of our racial strength
as determining whether we are for
ever to be regarded as an inferior or
a superior race.
The Lake Park Hospital is the Ne
groes Hospital. It's hopes, aims, and
success depend upon every Negro
that has a spark of racial pride in his
bosom.
We are great people, we must
stop being laughed at. We must put
our racial imprint indellibly upon
everything worth while, and boss our
own institution just as we control
our own churches and lodges.
We have hospital that is nearly
perfect. Everything that a hospital
requires to make it what a hospital
ought to be.
Facility is not lacking in any of
its departments. Plenty of light and
we'll regulated sanitation that meets
every hygienic requirement of the
City of Chicago.
A large corps of polite, graduated
trained nurses who represent our
educated, Christian womanhood, pre-
!, sided over. by one of our. own. a
T leading race woman and Superin-
tendent and every finished touch for
comfort for the sick and suffering.

This Appeal Is To You.

We must unite to promote great
enterprises. Great Enterprises when
fostered by US determine largely
what cur capabilities are. Strive as
we may, without the combined force
of our own people, our fight to keep
up this line of progress will be a
fruitless struggle. We need the
church, the club, the lodge, the as
sociations, and all noble organiza-
tions at our back. Negro Surgeons,
Nurses, and Internes, Negroes in
control of our own BIG LAKE PARK
HOSPITAL. Its maintenance is a
racial duty pressin alike on every
colored mans and woman's Shout
der. We are at present dominated by
the white boss in politics.
There are civic organizations fos-
tered by us but dominated by some
white Office down in the loop. But
here is the Lake Park Hospital alb
solute!y free from white man bossism
free from the cunning and financial
dictaton of any white boss. Why
can't we make Lake Park Hospital
the mecca for sick people just as st.
Luke is for the better element of
the white people.
The credit of our success will be
yours, and remember if we should
fail the condemnation is upon the
entire race.
We will be left to hope amid our
struggle to hold the race banner
high, if this appeal can arouse you
10 earnest resolute action.
Respectfully,
M. l.. Skajors, NJ. D.

RACE TURNING ATTENTION
TO FINANCIAL WELT ARE

New York, Dec. 70 Through the
reconstruction period following the
close of the Civil War and for many
years thereafter, the colored people
of the south were the victims of all
sorts of fake schemes by unscrup-
ulous persons who practically robbed
them out of their hard earnings
Among the first of this group of
takers were the root-doctor and the
fortune teller Then there followed
in close succession the cheap iewelry
and the patent medicine man. Being
almost void of education and prac-
teal business experience the colored
people were easily fooled into buy
ing the wares of the faker until the
practice soon became a deep seated
habit
