Is the Negro ready for his emancipa-
tiOn?
The Young Peoples Progressive Club
stirred up quite an interest at their
meeting Friday night at the Second
Baptist Church on the discussion as to
whether the Negro was entirely ready
for his emancipation.
Mr. w. NJ Logan says: "'rhe Negro
is ready for his emancipation and has
proved it during the World war that he
is worthy of his emancipation"
Mr.. Ed. Gather: "'rhe Negro is not
sufficiently educated for his entire
emancipation" He asks, what would
become of the world if it was turned
entirely over to the Negro? Why, he
said, they would turn the world upside
down.
Miss a. Widener: "The Negro is
fully ready for his emancipation.
Why" she said, his inventions perhaps
and If he were given the privilege and
show as other races, he would prove
that he was ready"
Mr.. II. Clark: ''The Negro is not
ready, and will not he ready for his
emancipation until he has realized the
| fact that they must come together and
do business together, and be led by
men of the race instead of being led
so much by the white man" Mr.. Clark
/ is pretty well informed, and became
] much interested in the meeting. though
being his first time to attend. He said ::
/ This meeting has put me TO thinking,
and | am glad that / came out" When
! President Alexander called for new
members, Mr. Clark gave his name as
a member of the club.

ject as it was only round table dis

Negro" Miss l.. Ramus. Negative,
Mr.. Ed. Gather.
The Pacific Car Building Company
that purchased ten acres of land just
outside of the city limits of East Wood
land, is expecting to begin building on
the factory at once.
The Woodland people are much
pleased because of the fact that it has
been published that one of the Off
cials said, within the next eighteen
months the company would be working
from 700 to 1000 men. This will mean
much to Woodland.

May Speak at Pueblo.

One of the communications received
was from Pueblo, where Mr., Napier is
urgently requested To come and speak
following his Denver address. The
Pueblo branch, n. \. G. Z. is said to be
behind the movement mt that place. 1t
probably should be stated here and
now that there is no political Signifi-
canoe in the coming to Denver of Mr..
Napier, those interested i'm having him
speak here state that it is for purely
racial purposes.
Mr.. Napier is one of the greatest fl
nancicrS of the Negro race in this
country, having established one of the
first banking institutions of the race.
He is still ut the head of this bank.
He has been an executive in the treas
