COLORED LADIES AT
G.. o. P. CONVENTION

Our suffragets should not fail TO
read the following reprint dispatch,
from the Washington Times:
LAGRANGE, KY, March 4-Although
Kentucky women will not get full
suffrage this year, but will vote in
the presidential election, negro wom-
en- have already entered politics. This
is the first time in the history of the
South when negro women have taken
any apparent interest in politics.
When the seventh congressional
district republican delegates met here
preparatory to the state convention,
among them was Annie Simms Banks,
of Winchester. KY, one of the dele
cation from Clark county, who not
only took part in the proceedings,
but was appointed a member of the
rules committee, and as such helped
prepare the report submitted to the
state convention last night.
She was referred to whenever It be-
came necessary as "the lady from
Clark" and was accorded as much
courtesy as any other delegate.
When the resolutions committee re-
ported Mrs. Banks gave a short talk
which was heard with much interest
She said: eve are just beginning to
open our eyes in politics. but before
long we are going to make ourselves
felt, and you can depend on Annie
Simms Banks, of Winchester, to dc
her part for the grand old party"
Added interest was given to the
meeting by the presence in the hall OF
other negro women.

have as much schooling as some other
people, but it is probable he has a
good deal of shrewd sense.-Balti-

The "shrewd sense" is all right, but
where does the idea of deficient edu-

ty years, Florida schools have been
up to the average of those of other
states, and her citizens as we'll as her
school children are certainly able to
hold their own with those of any Sec

The Y. M. c. A. Movement In
Dallas has attached to IL a feature
as yet unknown to many. II II
the Hi-"Y" club. The larger and
more mature boys of the Colored
High School have been organized
into club which has as its aim,
the encouragement OF our boys to-
ward fuller realization OF their
abilities for good and the helping
Of them toward the Accomplishment
OF their aims
Their four guiding principles
are clean habits, clean thoughts
clean speech and clean sports. The
interest being manifested by these
boys Is remarkable and their eager
ness 10 learn more and more OF the
principles which govern the lives OF
successful and useful men is note
worthy.
a few evenings ago there was
a "get-to-gether' meeting held at
New Hope Church In which the
CLUB gathered with Mr.. Craft. In
ternatlonal Boys Secretary, Mr.
Coulter. State Secretary, and various
other men who In recent months
have Interested themselves in Y.
M. G. A. work especially among the
boys The boys were enthusiastic
the speakers were interesting and
the meeting was success.
Our boys are nne Fellows. With
lite direction they become the
fine, clean, outstanding youths OF
which cities are proud and in
whom parents delight. More atten-
tion must be paid to their direction
and care that their leanings toward
the better hings Of life may be
cultivated and their energies direct
ed in efficient ways.
We have too many fine boys
whose ambition to become the typi-
cal "hustler" Is fostered by our
constant lnattention to their well
fare and direction. Cur gentleman-
ly boys are too few. And they are
few because their chances for be-
coming so are pitifully meager II
Is our duty to increase and en-
large these chances by encouragnsg
in every way possible the work OF
these boys and the movement be-
hind them.
while It IS at present operating on
the non-eQuipment plan, and not
showing itself as ostentatiously as
perhaps might be expected, Is grow
ing and doing much good. We must
continue to back II and push II.
The boys club is growing. They
are helping to make II grow. They
are learning the things which are
conducive to successful living and
are imparting them to Others with
whom they may come In contact.
They are learning Thrift. They are
learning to think in terms OF their
chosen lines OF future endeavor and
they are profiting by It.

tary Is behind them. We are be-
hind the Y. NJ. Q. A. and its work
