Going back to the Business League, we are arranging for a thousand people. We Intend to help in open ing five hundred places of business between Sept 1 and 2 and Jan. 1, 1920. Our young men and women are wasting away for something to do. We must furnish the Jobs. Hon R. L. Smith, the State President is a bir man, and if the - people will follow his lead, it wilt bo better fur ther on. - . Lpsrnlnir Tho TTv. The tendency to get together by Bnembers of the race is showing lt Kelf iac-it substantially in the fart .that enterprises of the race are finding a way to cross the chasms which sorely divide them. A rot?ble lnctunce lc today, on exnlbuion m the city of Houston. Some moons ago. Mr. Campbell A. Gllmore and Sir. Cllffton T. Richardson, up to t'aat time moving spirits in tke publi- cation of The Houston (Tex.) Ob server, came to a place iu the Jour nalistic road, where it was too nar row to march side by each. They parted. The Houston Informer was! born as a part of the result of this failure to further agree, and Cliff Richardson ia its wet nurse. It is a promising child which one day should walk the world' with com manding influence. . I In the GUmore Camp there was something doing, for not long after the Informer came to further enligh ten Houston, the Observer saw a Freeman, and a union of newspapers came too take the place ot a disagreement- between two men. Hous ton today is reading what is known as The Observer Freeman under written is these words: "Southwetit's Foremost Race Newspaper." The Freeman dates back to some twenty five years ago, and its ancient editor, Charles Napoleon Love, becomes the Editor-in-Chief of The Observer Freeman Here's the remainder of the staff: . Campbell A. Gllmore, General Man ager and Managing Editor; Lieut Rodney D. Hardeway, city editor; Leon A. Gllmore, Advertising mana ger; William H. Brown, contributing editor; Wm. Nlckerson, Jr., associ ate editor; Rev. C. K. Brown, con tributing editor. The union of The Freeman and Oboserver, prevents a plethora of Colored newspapers in Houston and preserves for all of them a chance to succeed. I rejoice that I. have lived long enough to see some sign that the 30-odd thousand Colored people of Houston, Texas, can get to gether. Stop Slaking Fnn. The time has come for the women and men who have good hair and the ones with no hair should reach an understanding. That understand ing should contain an agreement to quit making fun of the "hair queens," and the "professors" in scalp dis orders, who are striving to help the men and women who own bad hair. There is another side to this hair culture business. On that side Is the money. Don't over look It The fabulous wealth of The Poro people and the immense size of the Madam Walker estate, Bhow that grease on the hair puts money In the pocket Let the grease run. Get the Difference. It is pretty hard for some men to see the difference between a brave man and bully and it is equally diffi cult for them to see the difference between conservatism and cowardice. A brave man is one one who has the Judgment and courage to find out and do whatever seems to be best and right, after taking everything Into consideration. The bully con sults bis own will and advantage, and relies on force brute force, if neces sary to "put it over." Conservatism is the legitimate child of reason and observation. It has the fixed habit of taking every thing into consideration, at all times looking finally to the adoption of a courso which will bring the greatest permanent good to the greatest num ber. It ia- not without strength and courage, qualities which are mighty contributors to the consumatlon of the things undertaken. Cowardice is blind, i narrow, selfish and self seeking. Surrounded by many poli cies, it accepts honesty, only when it serves its purpose. Oftlmcs it is nick-named "Diplomacy." The road It travels is called the "line of least resistance. Its object is to "get mine." Up till now no race has had a mo nopoly of cowards and bullies. It Is equally true that no. racial mo nopoly exists as to bravery and con servatism. I have seen the bully masquerading in the livery of a proud Caucasian, recking the history of Its glorious achievements and pointing to his blood and lineage. Likewise I have seen the bully in ebony, going back into the mist of ancient history es tablishing his high place in the making of tLe foundation of civili zation. He is a familiar Ilguro In the valley of the Nile, where the ever lasting pyramids atia silent sphinx toll their . tonguless story of those other days. In the light of all that has hap pened there seems little excuse for any man to no in flount aa to wnetner he should be brave and yet con servativo. Pon't Laugh. A Word To Women. Woman was made ' to love not to vote. - Pants are made for men, not for women. Women are made for men not tor pants. Lots of women today are going around advertising Schlitz (slits) formerly it took 10 yards cf cioto to make a woman a skirt now one leg of ber husband's trousers will make two skirts. A preacher once said that he had l o particular ob jections to a woman wearing pants, If Bhe would desist from putting both feet in one leg. At one time men did rot understand women, but since the advent of the X-Ray skirts we can see through them all right - The woman bare back rider is ex citing much newspaper comment, but the bare-back fenv4e dancers are sen now at the balls every night. A widow with money wants to marry two sons only. Two respectable women want washing. - Come In without knockin?. Leave the same way. Kissing is love's language.

W:hen he had finished the barber handed him a tag for 65c. Ade regarded it thought fully. Then, turning to the barber, he asked: "Do you happen to know the sig nificance of that red and white striped pole in front of your shop?" "Yes, air," said the barber. "You see, in olden times, barbers were sur geons as well as tonsorial artists. When a man had to be bled he came to a barber." "And we still get bled," retorted Ade, as he pMd the check, adding, "Whatever yon do, don't take down that pole." K. E. W.
