COLGATE EARNS
$1.40 A SHARE

The Colgate.Palmolive-Peet Com
pany earned $4,21S,954 in surplus
net profits during 1886, which
after preferred dividends is equal
to S1.40 per share Of common
stock, S. Bayard Colgate, presi.
dent, announces.
This is only slightly better than
the results of the preceding year,
the report states, but the major
part Of the profits was earned dur.
ing the second half Of the period.
The decline in prices Of fats and
oils used in soap manufacturing
which took place during the first
half of the year came to an end
toward the close of that period,
and prices have since returned to
their former higher level. This
has brought about increases in
sales prices, greater sales volume,
and better net profits, he said,
adding:
TT is with regret that 1 must
call your attention to a further
increase in taxes, amounting to
$7O7,274, paid during the year.
The total tax bill Of the company
for the year 1886 was $7,O6S,577,
which equals 1851 per share of
common stock"

were observed by Mr.. Rockefeller.
He was a believer in the humblest
of his fellow men. He gave gen
erously to the Negro, not only for
his vocational improvement, but
for his scholastic development.
The expenditure of many thou
sands of Rockefeller dollars on the
higher education of Negroes prov
ed that Mr.. Rockefeller had faith
in the ultimate measuring up Of
the Negro group to it's rightful
place in the group life of America.

Secretary ROper's Views

The speech of Secretary of Com
merce Roper before the Depart
ment of Commerce and Finance of
Howard University, entitled, RE
lating Education to Aptitudes and
Attitudes" is of the utmost i'm
portance to colored Americans. It
is important because it is dec
laration of what an elder States
man" of the South thinks of mod
ern Negro youth and it's possi-
bilitfes; and of what is the Of
ficial attitude of an important part
of the New Deal toward trained
colored youth.
Speaking last Tuesday in Ran
kin Chapel, Mr.. Roper, who is
from South Carolina, said: These
times are impressive of the fact
that mass production, through
standardized molds, must be re-
placed by systematic analysis.
This will acquaint both the stu
dent and the instructor with fund
amental aptitudes and attitudes
and assist in relating them to the
potential environment of the stu
dent"
The significance Of this para
graph is that it is indicative of
what life and living will be in the
years to come. For Cabinet Of
ficer to say to Negro students
that standardized molds" must be
replaced means that white Off
cialdom, in its basic attitude, may
be expected to change from the
Cid stereotype of pigeon-holing the
Negro by color, without other clas-
sification, and give more consid-
GRAFTON to human values-to per-

sonality development. IF the Negro
can feel that he will be rated on
this new basis in the future, he
will have gained much in his up
ward struggle.
Again Mr.. Roper says: There
will always be, for your race, a
useful field for professional and
technical lines of education. Equip
ment accordingly must be prOvid-
ed for those who, through analy-
sis, are found to be adopted to the
professions or to commercial and
service relationships"
Again there is renewed hope for
the better trained Negro youth
This, it seems to us, is about all
that should be needed by the Ne
gro graduates of 1887. They are
assured that persons of training
are needed. It is up to them to
be found, through analysis" TO
be the proper cogs in the social
and economic scheme of things.

Mr.. ROckefeIler'S Gifts

The worth Of the late John D.
Rockefeller to civilization will not
be fully appreciated for a number
Of years to come. So varied and
so far-flung were Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's philantrophies that many per-
sons benefit from them who do not
even know it. Not only the poor,
but all classes and conditions of
men, have been given greater
promise of health, better living,
and more happiness, through the
wise use fthe vast fortune which
the uncanny acquisitive genius of
Mr.. Rockefeller piled up.
America, as the youngest Of
the major powers of the earth, by
her system of freedom of individ-
ual initiative, allowed the Rookie
feller miracle to be performed
Though much criticized for the
system which permitted the amas-
sing of the fortune, the prestige
of America in the family of ma
tions, as a constructive builder and
an enlarger of the frontiers of civ
1lization, is raised by the aduIa-
ton of the world, through the
Homage paid to the Cleveland Oil
King.

Stop Joe Robinson!

We believe colored citizens may
rely on the innate good sense OF
President Roosevelt to halt the
apparently determined march of
Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas
to the Supreme Court bench. No
thing would break the faith of
the people in the President par
ticularly colored people = more
readily than the appointment of
man like Robinson. If there is
real possibility of Robinson be-
ing named-and we do not think
so-then the court would better
have been left as it was.
Everyone knows what Joe Rob-
inson would say on any question
affecting the civil status of colored
citizens. Everyone knows what
Robinson would say if a Negro
asked his judgment on forcing a
school like the University of Miss
souri, Law School to allow Negro
student to enter. Everyone knows
what he would say if asked to
pass on the validity of the jina-
crow laws of the South, which
constantly insult and humiliate the
colored citizens in defiance of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. Everyone knows
what Robinson would say if a suit
was brought before him, seeking
to compel the railroads of Arkan-
sas to allow Negroes to ride in
Pullman cars.
On the other hand, colored citi-
zens know of President Roosevelt's s
friendly attitude toward them.
They know he defied tradition and
named Judge Hastie to the Fed
eral bench. It is inconceivable that
the President would reverse him
self and place on the Supreme
bench a man of avowed anti-ra-
cial views for one-tenth of the
colored voters of the country.
We repeate, we do not think
Joe Robinson has a ghost of a
chance to get on the Supreme
bench; and we believe President
Roosevelt himself will be the man
to stop him.

BEAUTY HINTS
BY Nina Temple
A Simple Facial Lotion

Perhaps one of the simplest and
best facial lotions is a mixture Of
ice water to which q few drops
Of witch hazel has been added.
This lotion is within the reach nG
every woman and the effect from
it's use is beyond price. Just try
rinsing the face with it after q
hard day and notice how fresh and
firm and smooth the skin becomes.
Both the ice water and the witch
hazel do wonders to the skin.
O
Nurture your kind with great
thoughts: to believe in the heroic
makes heroes.
A butterfly that brushes against
a thorn will tear its wings.

1T is rumored," wrote Henry Clay
concerning the courts decision in the
case of Georgia against the Cherokee
Indians. ~tEaat the President has re-

it. and that he even went so far as TO
express his hope, to a Georgia member
of Congress, that Georgia would sup
port her rights
Ii was a Massachusetts congressman

mark about the same case, Well, John
Marshall has made his decision, now let
him enforce il.
1T is matter OF extreme doubt"
writes q recent historian of the Su-
preme Court, whether Jackson ever
uttered these words. He certainly did
not in fact refuse aid in enforcing the
courts decision"
Nevertheless, Andrew Jackson alb
horred the constitutional doctrines and
decisions of John Marshall, and was
party to something like packing OF
the court at the very end of his second
administration.
From 1921 on, Congress repeatedly
tried to weaken the Supreme Court, or
at least Marshall's influence therein;
and. by the act of March 3. 1897, the
court was enlarged by two additional
justices. Marshall himself was now
dead, but the measure guaranteed that
the members who had survived him,
and whom he had presumably indoc-
trinated. SHOULD be in a safe minority.

nractices of the judiciary which may
have led to the proposal for such
change
Theodore Roosevelt once spoke OF
sthe immense part played by the Su-
preme Court in the creation. not merely
the modification, of the great poiicles
through and by means of which the
country has moved on to her present
position"
Theoretically they do not say what
the law ought to be- says current
authority. ssthey merely proclaim the
Constitution as it is. Practically the
matter is not so simple, for the Ian
guage Of that document is very general
in some parts. Phrases such as 'neces-
sary and proper, due process OF law,
and privileges and immunities. may be
interpreted in many ways according 70
the theories, prejudices, and preconcep-
tions of the judges. Inevitably
their adverse rulings awaken political
resentments
It is largely because of these resent
ments that several of the presidents OF
the United States have clashed with the
Supreme Court over the use OF It's So
called judicial yeto-that is, its assumed
right. which is nowhere specifically pc
slowed in the Constitution, TO declare
laws unconstitutional
Thomas Jefferson for instance, was
deeply shocked when the judicial veto
was first used against a federal law, 10

Holding these beliefs, President jeff

tempt drastic changes in the judicial
branch. The new chief justice, John
Marshall. presumably had long ca

Constitution were perfectly well known
to jefferson. The thing TO do to carry
out his theories was to get rid of John

power
