THOMPSON STOOD UP.

When the local u. n. /. A. sent
Noah d. Thompson to attend the In
ternational gathering at New York to
represent them they sent man who
stood out in bold relief by way OF
representation of the people who sent
him. We gather from the press re-
ports and from private sources that
at no time during the session would
he be denied. In the face OF opposi-
ton from those who would cover up
Mr. Thompson bored right into such
an extent that he became one OF the
real figures of the Convention. The
timorous delegates who would hest
tate to speak found in Col. Thomp-
son an advocate worthy of his steel
Some of the blind enthusiasts might
think daggers at Col. Thompson but
no one can deny that he has faith
fully performed the duty which he
was sent to care for. His iusistence
for business methods for this great
organization should be most helpful
indeed, and in fact, he should have
been elected to see to it that the f.
nances were correctly applied The
way 10 make the great movement
sound and secure is to place all the

The Public Life Insurance Co, The
Douglass National Bank. They
could not see our point and would
not be convinced. Now the thing
which they had faith in has gone to
the devil and carried more than
million OF our. black dollars with It.
Harrison Parker whom they thought
was some white and shiny demigod,
has feathered his nest with. the shiny
gold to the tune of about seven mil
lions. This writer has all along con-
tended that we have more faith IN
ourselves and less in the slick trick
ster.
All of the above big Negro corpor-
ations are fourishing. The Bmga
Bank has more than a half million
assets, The Pyramid Building and
Loan Association is growing so
rapidly in a few months that they
have money to loan to members TO
secure them f.against the mortgage
shark The Liberty Life Insurance
Co.. is one of the marvels OF Negro
hustle and aggressiveness. The
KaShmer Chemical Co. has grown so
rapidly that they are getting ready to
supplant the Moler College by oper-
a;iug Americas Largest Beauty col
legc The Douglass National Bank
has become within a few months one
OF the races stalwart financial COM
panies. The Progressive Co., has
gotten to the place where it can re-
fuse the loan OF two hundred thou
sand dollars. 1t is only one year old
yet it has money supplied by over
two thousand members, and operat-
ing a grocery selling goods over the
city with two delivery trucks.
We can afford at this present time
to put our trust in our own people.
Suppose thik money that the white
man Parker has got tied up, money
that was paid into this Cooperative
Company had been paid into the Pro-
gressiye Company, just look where
we would be today.
We are not to lose heart, but take
this as great lesson we have learned
for the future The business operated
by our race would multiply hundred
fold if only we would stop and con-
: that the Negro hirelings who
a., id fabulous salaries toe paint
misleading pictures, talk our people
into investing their hard earned
money with crooked companies whose
only object is to get their money and
keep IT, oE-invest it in other subsidi-
airy companies controlled by white

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO

We could not ever follow Pegasas
without wings,
Nor with our puny hands attempt the
larger things.
We chance to call an God with feeble
voice,
Since tits from chance We act, and not
from choice.
Today we call! we call a hundred
years to come the same;
Is not the breath of yesterday the
breath of fame?
We long for time to give out noble
deed
Refuse to learn the lesson of tangled
creeds.
To-day and l are chance. Wetwo can
reach the mark,
No matter if the day be long, the
night be dark;
From out the soul and heart of what
we are
Like Jupiter himself We may become
a star
There will be much for US to learn
and know.
Before the nest is left the birds
must grow.
II takes the. strength of will, and
strength of mind
To be a man when youth is left be-
hind.
With a candle light we feebIy pierce
the night,
The path is far too narrow where we
make light,
But many candles multiply the light
of one
Until the path we make becomes a
sun.
We walk the corridors of your ancient
days
And read ancient script to know your
ways.
Studied music literature, sculptor art
That we might of all good become a
part.
We toured the heavens long, and
measured space
With telescope. and gave to stars

LYING EYES.

She was wonderful to look at, Oh,
such eyes the creature had,
What blessings in her dimpled checks,
and Oh, if you were sad
Those eyes could lift you up to
heights of earthly bliss,
And when she had a mind to, she
could seal it with kiss.
She was wonderful to chat with, and
to look into those eyes
Would bring to you a dizzy spell, a
look that satisfies.
Her beauty was enhancing, she'd
keep your head a-whirl
And nothing could prevent you from
loving such a girl.

All tell a weighty story of what we

Before there was a whiteface on the

To buster about a white skin and

But, of tomorrow and the golden

From womb of time we give strong
life. Our bodies torn
By infsmies of hell to slake thirst
we would forget
Forgive, and strive for marks race

So fast our looked for day of truth
and right
Comes strong, and looms large out OF

We scarcely hold ourselves in leish,
or wait the hour +
For our true place among the races
who have power.

Salt and Dampness.

Salt is what is called "hygrOscS
pic" that is, 1t eagerly abSorbs mOiE
ture. In fact, both air and salt aH
absOrbents Of moisture and it is a
contest between them as to which
gets IT. Results depend on atmOs
pheric conditions. Ordinary armOS
phere always contains a proportion
Of moisture, and warm air is apt 10
be more humid than cold, as il alb
serbs and holds water vapOr more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions it draws il from The air
When the air becomes dry, the mOiS
ture is given up by the salt, which in
turn becomes dry as il returns the
moisture TO the air.
