THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER. THE NEGRO MUST LEARN TO STAY WHERE HE IS SAYS THE HON. HARRY S. CUMMINGS AT THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION IN SALISBURY Salisbury Did Itself Proud 'On This Occasion—Mr. Cummings In His Address Said When He The Negro Was Freed He Had Nothing But God's Starry Heaven As His Roof And The Green Earth For His Foot To Tread—Their Is Work For Each Individual-Many Floats in Line Salisbury, Md., Oct. 11.—The scene of the "Great Emancipation Proclamation" for the first time in the history of Salisbury was on, in all its splendor of representative, showing forth the marked stages of the development of an infant race, who as the Hon. H. S. Cummings, city councilman of Baltimore, said in his address "Had nothing to look upon when freed from slavery but God's starry heavens as his roof, and the green carpeted earth for his foot to tread upon." Among many other things the speaker said: "That there was work for every individual to do, let the Negro learn to stay where he is, improve the gift that God gave him, become a part of the community in which he lives, that each individual must perform his duty as a unit." Mr. Cummings' prayer was that, the "inspiration of hope should possess us, instead of selfish motives in the discharge of our duties." On the morning of the 6th, despite the over-clouded skies, which wore away about the noon hour, a large delegation from the southern end of the peninsular including Crisfield, Hopewell, Westover, Pocomoke, Princess Anne and other small towns, came in on the early trains until early noon fully 2,500 people assembled to do honor to the great immortal and emancipator of the race, and to hear the proclamation of endeavor from the lips of orators of no mean ability. The great street parade which started from the Wicomico Fair Grounds contained many floats representing the business, professional and agricultural progress of the Negro on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. At 8 o'clock nearly 9,000 people filled the large grand stand of the Wicomico Fair Grounds. Chairmen Solomon T. Houston called the assemblage to order, and introduced Rev. R. G. Waters as master of ceremonies, who introduced the following speakers: the Hon. W. B. Miller, who made the welcome address. Mr. Miller spoke of the relationship existing between the white man and the black man of this community as being one of peace. "A Great Factor," was responded to by Dr. P. O'Connell. He said: "The Negro should imitate the white man in choosing the right principals that lead to judicial, material, moral and spiritual development." Hon. Harry S. Cummings was the next speaker. The keynote of Mr. Cummings speech was to refine an elite aim of life and sticking to it." Rev. S. S. Jolly spoke of the "Tranquil steps of the race 50 years ago, as the rising star of hone today." President Melville - Chism, founder of the Brickhouse Bank, Hare Valley, a., was introduced, paying the price of race. The celebration was a success. (special to The Afro-American Ledger.)

West Virginia Democrats Make Over tures to Colored Voters. <Bpecial to Afro-American Ledger>: Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 13—Politics is at fever-heat in this State, and the Democrats are making a desperate effort to recover the State once more. Democratic leaders have declared that they do not intend to disfranchise the Negro. This contention has been backed by the Charleston Gazette, and some colored men are thinking strongly of supporting the Democratid ticket. $29,500 RAISED FOR MORRIS BROWN Quarto-Centennial Celebrated—Raise More Than $4,000 Over Amount Asked For. (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Atlanta, Ga., Ect 10—The quarto-centennial celebration of the Morris Brown College, was held at Bethel A. M. E. church on Thursday evening of last week. A large concourse of people were present, including ministers from every part of the State. Bishop Smith, who presided, had organized an educational rally to raise $25,000 for the school. This money was to be raised by and from our people. The greatest enthusiasm was shown by everyone concerned and all the sister denominations were represented. Addresses were delivered by Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, Prof John R. Hawkins and Bishop Smith who had organized the movement. When all reports were in, $29,500 was reported in hard cash. Of this amount big Bethel church alone, Rev C. M. Tanner, pastor, reported five hundred dollars. The above figures represent the largest amount of money any district or any single church ever reported for education in the history of the race.

ANNAPOLIS LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL SAYS BONAPARTE ASSERT REGISTRARS LIA- BLE TO DAMAGES FOR RE- FUSING TO REGISTER COLORED CITIZENS Attorneys Bonaparte and Gans Argue Unconstitutionality Of Annapolis Law Before Judge Morris—They Say The Law Is Contrary to the Provisions Of The Fifteenth Amendment—Will Be Carried To Supreme Court No Matter What The Decision May Be. That the "grandfather" clauses in the election laws of the South by which colored men are distranchised and white men of the same class are permitted to vote are contrary to the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment was urged at length in the U. S. Circuit Court by former Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte and Edgar H. Gaus Monday and Tuesday last. The argument was made during the hearing before Judge Morris on the demurrier to the suits for damages filed by Robert Brown, Lawyer Wm. H. Howard and J.B. Anderson against election officials of Annapolis on account of their being refused the right to register and vote under the new municipal election law for that city. The suits were brought under Section 1979 of the United States Revised Statutes, the text of which follows. "Every person who. under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom or usage of any state or territory, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen, of the United States or any person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges or immunities secured by the constitution and laws, shall be liable to party injury in action at law, state in court, or other proper proceeding of address." Bonaparte in his argument quoted numerous decisions of the courts which not only recognized the existence of the Fifteenth Amendment, but referred to the same as a basis for rulings in cases involving the Negro. "Chief Justice Waite, speaking for the court (in the Reese case)." "Continued Mr. Bonaparte says:" "The Fifteenth Amendment does not confer the right to vote upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference in this particular to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race; color or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race &c., as it was on account of age, property, or education. Now it may be that citizens of one race may certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to the amendment there was no constitutional right which is in the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise or account of race; color or previous condition of servitude. This under the express provisions of the Amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation." Mr. Bonaparte quotes a number of decisions of the Maryland Court of Appeals which omitted the word "white" from the clause in the State constitution concerning the qualifications of voters in this State, and mentioned the codifying of the laws by the late John P. Poe with the "white" stricken out of the State constitution and the subsequent ratification of Mr. Poe's work by the legislature as evidence which showed the 15th Amendment was regarded as the law of the land and that all contrary to its provisions was null and void. THE ANNAPOLIS LAW. He went into the provisions of the Annapolis law in detail and claimed that the fourth clause of the law, which excludes colored men because of their ancestry, was the one which WILL SUCCEED VERNON AS REGISTER OF THE TREASURY M. was in connect with the Fifteenth Amendment. "Of late years," he argued "we have heard lots of queer ideas on constitutional law, one of them being the opinion of many that the Fifteenth Amendment is being carried out if a State election law is so framed that some colored men can vote and if some white men are deprived of their rights of franchise. If the Annapolis law had read so that the colored man was to be considered just as he was previous to January 1, 1868, the question of the law's validity would certainly be determined by the application of the Fifteenth Amendment. Yet, the effect of the Annapolis law is practically as plain as that:1" "The enactment of an election law in which the word "white" qualifies the voter, conflicts with the Amendment. Our laws allow us to restrict voting in children of men who have been notifient with the Fifteenth's Amendment. The distinction of race, however does conflict with it. "The Fifteenth Amendment was framed to confer upon whites and blacks alike the equality of suffrage, and any law that in any way restricts one race is in violation of this act. We contend that it is the duty of the officers of registration to enforce a State law only so long as it is conformed to the laws of the United States. We allow that in this case the officers of registration did not do this and stand liable for the damages asked." Mr. Bonaparte contended that Section 1879 of the United States Revised Statutes makes the officers of registration liable to damages in this case. "The law read," he said, "so as to make the question of liability hinge on the fact that wrong was done under color of a State law. It was done in this case under color of a State law and the liability is clearly shown." Mr. GANS ARGUMENT. Mr. Gans claimed that the question narrowed down to whether the alleged wrong was done under color of a State law. He said, was clearly shown here. His argument was along the lines of Mr. Bonaparte's and was in support of his contention relative to liability. "Because, of the Fifteenth Amendment," he said, "the Annapolis law is null and void and the officers of election in refusing to register these men were exercising a power which was not lawfully theirs, making themselves liable to a suit for damages." He argued that the decision in the Slaughter-house case did not apply. William L. Marbury, who led the fight against the contentions of Messrs. Bonaparte and Gans made an extended argument that the Fifteenth Amendment only applied to Congressional elections. He ended by d-claring that the amendment was declared adopted by unlawful methods. Whatever Judge Morris' decision may be the case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court for final settlement. If the decision is in favor of the plaintiffs it will mean that the Digges bill and other similar measures aimed at the Negro will be invalid as far as they discriminate against the Negro. It may also give to colored men in the South the right to vote again. SUFFRAGE LEAGUE CONDEMNS RACE PREJUDICE COLORED VOTERS URGED TO DISREGARD PARTIES IN THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS Massachusetts Suffrage League Will Oppose Reelection to the Senate of Henry Cabot Lodge—Pass Resolutions Declaring War on Col. Roosevelt, Claiming National "Bossism" A Detriment To The Principles Of American Liberty. Fall River, Mass., Oct, 13—Race prejudice and the futility of blindly following the Republiban were the burden of speeches delivered at an enthusiastic meeting of New England Suffrage League last week. Strong resolutions condemning lynching and the public school system of the South ane praising Senator Bulkeley and former Senator Foraker for their efforts to secure fair play for the colored soldiers were adopted. The resolutions follow in part: "It seems very clear to us that if we are to enjoy the provisions of the 18th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Federal Constitutions we mus. rise up and defeat at the ballot-box any persons who will dare to ignore our rights as American citizens. We pledge ourselves to support any candidate regardless of party ties who pledges himself to support the Amendments. We deplore the public school system of the South as it no exists. We are in thorough sympathy with those who are agitating the adoption of a more efficient system and recommend that the colored people of the South supply as far as possible the deficiency by instituting private schools. "It is to be regretted that in this country of boasted civilization there were more than 100 cases of lynching. The Federal government has refused to protect its colored citizens and put down lynching. Instead, it hose, ellipsoidized the lyncher and permitted him a hand in making the laws. We ask that the government use every effort to apprehend all the guilty parties and treat them as murderers. War Against "Teddy" "We condemn as a disgrace to the United States the campaign being waged by white Southerners in Europe, on Trans-Atlantic steamers, to create prejudice against colored persons when it does not exist. We depreciate the rising dictatorship of theodore Roosevelt, author of the Brownville outrage, and warn our fellow white Americans of the danger to liberty in the ascendancy of a national boss, despite the popular issues he advocates. We urge every colored vorer in Massachusetts to oppose the election of any candidate for the legislature who will if elected vote for the return to the Senate of Henry Cabot Lodge. Rev. and Mrs. W.

Mrs. Arnold has worked faithfully by his side, and together they have raised quite a large family of children: some of whom are filling successfully positions under the United States government. St. Louis, Mo, Oct. e3—This State is in the throes of a red-hot political campaign, and both parties are making a big effort to get the Negro vote. To the surprise of many, the Democrats insisted a plank in their platform declaring, that if they succeed in the present campaign that they would not disfranchise the colored voters or pass any hostile laws against the race. SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS IN EPISCOPAL CHURCH Colored Priests Lose Out In Fight For a Missionary Bishop In Protestant Episcopal Church Cincinnati, October 13—By a vote of 60 to 31 the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Convention reversed its action of last week in voting against the proposition for suffragan bishops. As the House of Deputies voted for the proposition last week' it now becomes a law. The proposition for outfragan bishops was strongly opposed by Rev. F. Bragg, of Baltimore, and a committee representing the Colored Episcopal Church. Workers. Associated with him are Archdeacon E. Robert Bennett, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Archdeacon H. B. Delaney, of North Carolina. "The only colored man in the general convention is a bishop from Africa," said the Rev. Mr. Zragg. "By the suffragan bishops amendment the American Negro communicants of the church will never have representation in the general convention. The suffragan bishops, under this plan, are to be subordinate to the bishops of their respective diocese. In the dioceses where there is a large proportion of Negro communicants, there are separate churches and ministers for them, but they have no representation in the dioceses conventions and consequently are not represented in the general convention. That is true in the dioceses of South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, and practically the case in Virginia and Southern Virginia, Florida and Southern Florida. It would not improve our status a bit to have the suffragan bishops appointed, for (while they would have a seat in the House of Bishops, they would have no vote. "What we want is to have missionary districts for the colored churches created, and they to be represented in the general convention as other missionary districts are, with one bishop, one clergyman and one lay delegate. The proposal agreed upon at the conference of colored churchmen just held in Cleveland, provides that any two or more bishops of dioceses may combine and make one missionary district so far as the colored churches are concerned, and have a missionary bishop of the Negro race elected to preside over the missionary district so formed. That would give the colored churches their own bishops and full representation in the general convention." Philadelphia, October 12—Clarence H. Chandler, formerly of Baltimore, in competition with white poultry fanciers won a number of blue ribbons at a large poultry show in New Jersey. He also carried off the special prize offered by the Philadelphia Inquirer for the best display. During the early part of this year, Mr. Chandler, in competition with several incubator operators, lasting nearly six months, won the position as manager of one of the largest in incubator cellars in the country, who one hundred thousand chicks will hatched every three weeks. He enter upon this work, early in winter of 1911. 6 Who has been elected president of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas to succeed Prof W. T. Vernon. Call To the Colors is Ignored By a Majority of the Strikers. Though Some of Them Return to Work—The Northern and Western Roads Are Prostrated—Parisian Suburbanites Walk Home With Characteristic Gaiety. Paris (Special)—The strike of the railroad men, which threatens to spread throughout the length and breadth of France was denounced by Premier Britain as "an insurrection purely, built upon criminal foundations." The Premier declared that the strike was called while negotiations were going on through himself and the Minister of Public Works for an adjustment, of grievances, and he promised that the instigators of the strike would be criminally prosecuted. The River Seine, which in January threatened to destroy Paris, now looms up in the role of savior. The government has made arrangements to rush food supplies to Paris from the sea, requisitioning all tugs, boats and barges to meet the crisis brought about by the stoppage of the railway service, and case the food market, which is already hard hit. The city is threatened with famine unless supplies arrive soon. The employees of the Eastern and the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean Railroads have not yet to any appreciable extent, responded to the leaders' call to strike, and the government's weapon of mobilization has induced some of those employed on the Northern Road to return to their posts. Nevertheless, the Northern and Western Railroads are prosrated. The call to the colors has been ignored by the large majority, and at mass meetings held the strikers ratified their determination not to respond to the call. Much destruction has been wrought on the Western system, where the strikers and their supporters have held up and dared trains, blocked tracks, destroyed signals, ripped up rails and cut telephone and telegraph wires. The government has ordered the arrest of a score of the strike leaders and instructions have been issued to the troops to use severe measures wherever occasion required. COAL FOR 6,000 YEARS. v. Clark Snays There Is Plenty in Alaska. Juneau. Alaska (Special).—Gov. Walter E. Clark, who has returned from a 70-day tour of Alaska, said that in his annual report to the President he would make a recommendation concerning the opening of the great coal fields of the territory. It is understood he favors leasing the land, but he declined to outline his plan further than to say that it provided for protection of the people against the coal falling into the hands of monopolies. The governor said: "Alaska is entirely capable of supporting a large permanent population, but more liberal treatment by the Federal government is necessary to the development of the territory. The Alaska coal at the present rate of consumption on the Pacific Coast would last the coast 6,000 years or more. The coal that Alaska is now burning is imported largely from foreign countries and costs $18 a ton. A few miles away is much better coal locked in the ground." Reductions Made in Europe and the Far East In Campaign To Increase Use of Kerosene. New York—J. I. C. Clarke, through whom the Standard Oil Company makes its official announcements to the public, has issued a statement to the effect that the company has entered on a thoroughly mapped out campaign to increase the consumption of kerosene in Europe and to increase the demand for Orient. The first move in this campaign is the reduction of the prices of oil in those countries, Mr. Clarke's announcement says in part: "The Standard Oil Company has inaugurated a campaign to increase the world's consumption of refined oil. The level of prices for refined oil today in the United States is lower than at any time during recent years. The prices the consumption of refined oil in this country is increasing. The same policy is now actively pursued abroad." As indicated by this statement, the Standard company began trying out the policy of lower prices in the United States, though without announcing that it had in view a campaign that would cover the world. In August the price of refined oil in tanks was reduced from 6½ to 5½ cents a gallon, and the price of refined oil in barrels at the refinery was cut 1 cent, from 9½ to 8½ cents a gallon. A Dreamer.

TIME—Tuesday, April 4 A. D: 30 JAMES—Wednesday, April 5 PLACE—On the Mount of Olives Suggestion and Practical Thought. That there is a day of judgment is a fact, but it is difficult, and not so important, to decide the exact nature or time of the coming of the Lord to judgment. It is said in Matt. 24:29-34 that "this generation shall not pass away till all these things be accomplished," and it is repeated in Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32, and again in Matt. 16:28, "there are some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom," when "the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds." This must refer to the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the old dispensation or age, and the coming of the gospel dispensation. But it does not exclude the great and final coming and judgment day at the end of that age. There is really a judgment day at every great crisis of the nation or of our lives, at death, at the coming of rewards or punishments for our actions, at every time of decision. For instance, we have seen within the last few years many persons who have been for years growing rich by graft and dishonesty and have suddenly met their judgment day, while others have been reaping the rewards of faithful service. So young men who have been going on in course of drinking and rioting for a long time, suddenly find themselves drunkards, in ill health, incapacitated for their best work. They have been brought up at a judgment day; while those who have resisted temptation and been faithful and true are also reaping their rewards. Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand. The sheep, the rightcouss. Come. Draw near to your Elder Brother, to your Father, to your home, for here is the place for you. Ye blessed of my Father means exactly "my Father's blessed ones," denoting not simply that they have been blessed by him, but that they are his. Blessings innumerable had come to them through their being willing to become his children and accept the kind of blessings he had to bestow, such as his loving care, the bestowal of the Holy Spirit, the experiences of the gospel, the renewal of the heart, sanctification by the Spirit, the power to become children and heirs of God, the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, eternal life, the favor of God, the rest in the everlasting arms, the pavilion under the shadow of his wings. Recive not by purchase, or by labors, but by becoming children of God, like God, and therefore heirs—heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Every one must be the heir of him whose child he is. He that is a child of sin is an heir of sin; a child of the devil inherits from the devil; a child of goodness and of God inherits from God. The kingdom of heaven, the kingdom which consists in righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost (Rom. 14:17), in which salts reign, over infinite forces, and powers to make them minister to happiness and good; "All things are vours," because "ye are Christ's."

How it enriches our life if we keep in mind that we are not only helping the needy, but expressing our love to our Master. The unconsciousness of the righteous shows that their virtues were sincere and true. Whosoever does good deeds for the sake of the reward deserves no reward, and will obtain none, for the soul of goodness is left out of such deeds. Unconscious goodness is the highest form of goodness. The beginner in music counts his measures, and studies on what note he shall place each finger; but the perfect musician strikes the right notes and expresses the right emotions almost as naturally as he breathes or as the birds warble their morning songs." Here is Our PLAN The cause of the doom was the refusal to do the deeds that belong to the heavenly kingdom and to be ruled by its motive. They refused to be fit for heaven. They decided to live selfish lives. The plan of their lives was such that all the evils of society—graft, child labor, poverty, degradation, crime, oppression, drunkenness, disease, could go on without any effort on their part to put an end to them. We are going to give each boy or girl in the city a subscriber for each new subscriber they get between now and Christmas.

NOW HUSTLE The punishment is like the sin: it omits heaven and joy and God and the companionship of the good from our lives, and adds the everlasting fire. No evil can enter heaven, for if it did heaven would not be heaven any longer. President Elliot of Harvard, in an address to medical men, said that however people might refuse to be live in a future hell, it was the doctor's business to show young men that if they persisted in certain vices they would find a hell in this life. It is for each of us to make the choice, and start on the way which leads where we wish to go and live forever. The law of the harvest is "to reap more than you sow." Why not give them a chance to make some extra change. Send them to our Main Office, 307 St. Paul Street, any Friday afternoon or Saturday and we will START THEM OUT WITH TEN PAPERS FREE.

The Christ Light Within. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. When a soul is born again, the mind and heart are illuminated by the Redeemer. The marvelous vision of the Master appears in these striking words; "The light of the body is the eye; if therefore, thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." It takes a healthy eye to see the things in this world. A diseased eye sees dimly, or sees only distorted images. As our Saviour says: "If thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness; if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness." If we are selfish, our hearts cast a darkness and gloom. Those who are selfish are never really happy. The light within is darkened, if it has to shine through a selfish or impure heart. Only the heart that is illuminated by the matchless light of the indwelling presence of Christ can know the joy of "abundant life." We want to see the Afro-American Ledger in every home in Baltimore City and the Boys and Girls are going to help us to do it. Start Now. "Forget Not All His Benefits. 'Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.' Ps. cili. 2. "Forget not all his benefits." Alas! that it should be so easily possible to us.

Review of Causes Which Led to the Organization of the Association In New York and What Its Policy Will Be-Career and Work of Professor W.E.B. Du Bois. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. The problem of adjusting the differences between the heterogeneous masses in the United States so that each man will enjoy equality before the law and equality of opportunity for himself and his children has agitated the minds of statesmen oft and on since 1776. The overthrow of England's sovereignty in the United States and the establishment of a democratic form of government was the first. The existence of slavery, the agitation against it and its final extinction was another step in the recognition of the brotherhood of man. The enfranchisement of the Negro and the abrogation of many of the M. B. laws preventing the Negro from following various fields of activity were steps in recognition of the principles of democracy. The disfranchisement laws, Jim-crow measures, restricted school facilities for the race, are efforts to undo the start made for the extension to all of what many are pleased to term "Jeffersonian principles." With the curtailment of the rights of the Negro and a steadily growing race consciousness as well as knowledge of public affairs and the growing economic independence of the race has come the conviction that the spirit of democratic principles is no less for the colored man than for the white. A number of white and colored men, all firm believers in the principles of democracy and strong opposers to all temporizing with social prejudices and its manifestation in discriminating laws, have organized the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with offices in the Evening Post building, 20 Vesey street New York. The need of such an association can be best gleaned from an address which one of its leading promoters, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, delivered at the recent meeting in New York of the National Negro Business league. Said Mr. Villard: "My friends of the Business league, do not let the historian of the future say that in this money making age the colored American became so engrossed in the accumulation of means and the establishment of business as to forget those higher things without which he cannot hope to succeed and rise to great usefulness, to be really worthy of his heritage of American citizenship. "Do not forget that, while every effort must be spent in fortifying ourselves in every community, by business and material success, equal effort must be devoted to that of far greater movement, the insistence upon the Negro's equal and political rights in every place and at all times. "Anything short of absolute equality before the law is slavery. "My friends, this republic cannot exist half slave, half free, any more than it could in the time of Abraham Lincoln." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, the eminent authority on racial questions, has been engaged as secretary of the association. Professor Du Bols is a native of Massachusetts, After graduating from Fisk university in 1838 he entered Harvard university, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts in 1830 and the degree of master of arts the following year. He was awarded a fellowship and, after studying in Berlin, was award- ed the degree of doctor of philosophy by Harvard in 1895. He did some special research work for the University of Pennsylvania, after which he went to Atlanta university to take charge of the department of economics and sociology. Dr. Du Bois is the author of "Soul of Black Folk," a history of John Brown, "The Suppression of the Slave Trade," "The Philadelphia Negro" and many pamphlets on the race question. When he resigned from the professorship to accept the position of director of publicity and research for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, the board of trustees of Atlanta university, in accepting his resignation, paid him the following glowing tribute: "We accept with regret the resignation of W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Ph.D. from the professorship of economics and history at Atlanta university. "For thirteen years he has served this institution with great ability and devotion. He has proved himself a careful scholar, a firm disciplinarian and a thorough and inspiring teacher. "The charm of his personality and his prevailing good cheer have added much to the enjoyment of life in the school family. "Under his guidance the department of economics and history has been greatly strengthened and has brought Atlanta university wide recognition among scholars. "We can only hope that his new field of labor will give him larger opportunity for the exercise of his exceptional powers for the benefit of the Negro race and of humanity." The association will begin the publication of a magazine, the Crisis, the 1st of November. Its aim each month will be to record every important happening and movement in the world which bears on the great problem of interracial relation and especially those which affect the Negro American. The magazine will be the organ of no cliques or party and will avoid personal rancor of all sorts. Dr. Du Bols will be editor in chief. His assistants will include Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, Oswald Garrison Villard, Charles Edward Russell, William Stanley Braithwaite, poet and writer; J. Max Barber and Mrs. Dunlap Maclean. ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN BOSTON. Afro-American Women Unite For Active Campaign Against Injustice. An anti-lynching society composed of Afro-American women has been organized in Boston. The purpose of the new association is to call the attention of the legal authorities to the too frequent lynching of innocent citizens. It will also make investigations as to the cause of such crimes with a view of apprehending and having the guilty punished according to law instead of mob rule. The promoters of the movement met at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Purrill, in Camden street, Boston, recently and perfected a permanent organization, electing the following officers: President, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson; vice president, A. H. Jewell; re- MRS. J. C. BARRIE cording secretary, Mrs. V. C. Clark; treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, and chaplain, Mrs. M. C. Hall. Among others who took part in the organization are Mrs. Carrie O. Reed, Mrs. A. Bisbee, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs. E. F. Sport, Mrs. B Anderson and Miss E. Jewell. The harmony of thought, the true principle for vindication of their womanhood and the race, exhibited in the efforts for the public meeting and its success, with the triumph gained over the press, cemented a tie between them which has caused them to press forward with greater energy to remedy, if not lessen, the continued evils perpetrated against the race. Already they have plans formulated for a big anti-lynching meeting in the near future and are assured support by some of the best leading white women and men of the country. Why Claflin University Succeeds. One of the things that contributes so largely to the growth and success of Claflin university is the loyalty of her constituents, says the Columbia (S. C.) Ploughman. Every student who goes out from Claflin feels that he or she owes the institution a lasting debt of gratitude. They talk for Claflin and they work for Claflin. COMMERCIAL Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The industrial and mercantile outlook is better than statistics of actual transactions indicate. Business sentiment is always prone to outrun current trade, and there are certain evidences of a more encouraging view of the business position just at the time when the records show that the trade recession which has been in progress since the first quarter of the year is pronounced. The law by which the course of business runs in a circle would appear to be in operation. The tone of the financial markets is stronger in spite of the recent advices in foreign discount rates." Bradstreet's says: "Business failures in the United States for the week were 192, against 211 last week, 203 in the like week of 1909, 256 in 1908, 192 in 1907 and 192 in 1906." "Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ended October 6 aggregate 2,292,630 bushels, against 2,126,637 last week and 4,129,662 this week last year.

So serious has this question become, ‘that in some of the large cities of the old conutry, tlie tenement districts are being rooted out entirely. Large districts Eave been tora down and new and modern tenements have taken their place. Baltimore is noted as a city of homes. This is true of the colored people as.well as the whites.. When the Business Men's League met in this city a couple of years ago, the men who. attended that meetiug from all-parts of the country. were surprised at the housing of the col- ored people. The late B. M. C. which met in this city a few weeks ago, was loud in its praise of the good homes of the colored people, and many went away with: new ideas of Baltimore and the people who live in it, both white and col- ored. We want this thing to con- tisueand we want the best white people tu:help us along this line. No one ought to be prouder of the progress the colored people are making iu this city than the white people, and they owe it to them- selves to see to it that this condi- tiou of affairs continues.

The Members Hold A Grand Rally And Raise Enough Money To Pay Off the Bonded Indebtedness. Ancostia, D. C., Oct. 11.—There was great rejoicing among the members of Campbell A. M. B. church last Sunday when the entire debt of the church was collected. The bonded debt of the church was $610 but the rally netted $550. This was $40 more than was necessary to pay the note. Bishop Levi J. Coppin was present, and preaching was the large event that had assembled, he had the pleasure of donating the last dollar of the long standing debt. Campbell Church was organized in 1888, but the church was built on its present site in 1889 by the late Rev. O. D. Robinson.

PLANS TO SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS The Tuberculosis Association Shows How Money From Red Cross Christmas Seals Would Provide Needed Hospitals. What "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Seals" will do in the checking of consumption, is explained in a bulletin issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Counting every available bed for consumptives in the United State, even those in almshouses, penal institutions and hospitals for the insane, there are at the present time accommodations for hardly 30,000 tuberculosis patients. This is just about one bed for every ten indigent consumptives, and it all tuberculos persons in the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every twenty-five or thirty. If sufficient hospital accommodations are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment, fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis would be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to provide and maintain so many beds in hospitals, makes it imperative the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declares, that such institutions be erected from public money, either municipal, county or State. In order to get appropriations for public hospitals for tuberculosis, agitation is necessary, and in order to create a campaign of agitation, organization is demanded. But in order that an organization may carry on an effective campaign, funds are needed. There funds it is proposed to secured in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross Seals. The National Association cities one illustration of the way in which a sum spent in education has secured large appropriations. The New York State Charities Aid Association in the three years, 1908, 1909 and 1910 has spent in the upstate portion of New York about $65,000 in arousing the people to the dangers of tuberculosis. As a direct result of the public septiment produced by this outlay, the State, county and municipal authorities have already appropriated for tuberculosis work $1,500,000 and appropriations for hundreds of thousands of dollars are pending. Hundreds of hospital beds have been provided, and the Association already aims for "No Uncared for Tuberculosis in 1915." This, the National Association says if a million dollars is realized from the sale of Red Cross Seals, millions more will be added to it from the public treasuries. Last year 25,000,000 stamps were sold. It is aimed this year to sell four times as many. The W. C. Thompson Chapter held its first cabinet meeting on Wednesday last.

"There, Willie," she said, "you have tried so hard to be a good boy that I am going to give you this nice four-flapped pocketknife but you must promise me never to cut the school furniture with it."

To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says: "For years I could not safely eat any breakfast. I tried various kinds of breakfast food, but they were all soft, starchy messes which gave me distressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too which appeared to benefit me at the time, but added to the headaches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating. "A friend persuaded me to quit the old coffee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Posium and Grape-Nuts instead. I shall never regret taking his advice. I began using them three months ago. "The change they have worked in me is wonderful. I now have no more of the distressing sensations in my stomach after eating, and I never have headaches.

Emancipation Day Exercises Were Crowded - With Many Brilliant Scenes, Which Showed the Progress of the Race Along. Many Lines—Dr. W. B. Johnson's Stirring Address. At the recent emancipation celebration in Pittsburg, which was witnessed by more than 7,000 people. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, the celebrated Baptist divine from Washington, was the principal speaker. The occasion was one of the most notable ever conducted by the colored people of Pittsburg, and the mammoth parade of floats, representing every trade and craft, with citizens in automobiles and carriages, was a picturesque sight. Mayor Magee and other prominent citizens of Pittsburgh made addresses, and the whole affair was under the direction of a committee of well known colored citizens, headed by Rev. Dr. R. C. Fox, pastor of Carron Street Baptist church. Dr. Johnson's address was a comprehensive review of the slave question, particularly in its bearing upon the civil war, and a strong and forceful exposition of the duties and results of emancipation upon the life of the Negro race and the American nation. Dr. Johnson laid down the great principle that moral right is omnipotent and no man or government of men can resist it. Just what emancipation meant to the Negro, coming as he did fresh from the horrors of slavery, was described in a vivid and convincing manner by the speaker, who was likewise emphatic in enunciating certain obligations and duties his new found freedom imposed upon him. Dr. Johnson's speech was, in part, as follows: Viewed as to its results, the emancipation proclamation was an overshadowing and glorious success. It united the friends of the Union. He threw into despair the millions of African Americans miles of the Union as by magic 190,000 soldiers from the enfranchised race. It was the deathblow to slavery. It was the finishing stroke of the rebellion. The immortal Lincoln was in no sense a smatterer. He was a profound reason for the rebellion. He understood the constitution of his country. He did not issue a proclamation for sport or to be hosted at. He did not toy with the mighty concerns of the republic. His every act was governed by the sincerest convictions, the most profound and most unshaken, a statesman, and patriotism and herosim were his crowning virtues. The emancipation of the slaves was the most important and farreaching as well as the most equitable and humane fact recorded in American history and eventful history of the republic like the breaking of slavery shackles from the souls and bodies of the American bondsmen. It affected the American people legally, morally, sociologically and spiritually. It was done since it was the culmination of a long series of struggles between national self respect, national purity of conscience and national greed and sellishness. Forty-seven years have elapsed. The American Negro has only preyed on the nation and proscription, has had time enough to show himself a blessing or a curse. Have the conditions of freedom exhausted him? Has he assimilated as a man and citizen? Does he antagonize the just ideals and traditions of the American? He is interwoven into the being of the nation. in its lifeblood, its homes, its schools, its industries and enterprises, its victories and defeats. Its legislatures cannot enact a law, its courts render a decision, its courts gain a victory, considering him. He is a permanent element of American life, not dangerous to her well being, because he is a Christian and progressive; not vicious, because he is industrious and rapidly becoming intelligent; not a nuttier than a taxayer on over $90,000,000 in property. One of the most essential elements of racial strength the Negro must have now is an exalted race pride. The Negro who is ashamed of his race ought to be driven out and married as a traitor. It should be the highest ambition of every black man to be the race with power. We have nothing of which to be ashamed. Forty-seven years of freedom read like a romance. The Negro has no primrose path for the future. He must rise on his morals every time. He must make himself an indispensable factor in American life and contribute the best citizenship and sterling worth into the community in which he lives. He must simply compel the community to recognize his honesty and industry not by a service, but in hand policy, which is more hypocritical than real and which costs him self respect and the respect of all his neighbors, but a manly, straightforward course that shows him to be reliable, honest, industrious, virtuous and law abiding. We organize in business, religion, society, against laviness and crime, for the protection of home, church, political right and every other thing that is sacred to the man and the citizen.

Margaret Randall. CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION. Its Geographical Position and Many Other Considerations Mark It as Most Suitable-Spot for Dedication of Great Work. Public sentiment has decided that the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915 shall be celebrated with a great International Exposition in which all the nations of the world may participate; and the question of where this Exposition: is to be held will be settled by Congress at its approaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for the honor of holding this Exposition, and both cities have guaranteed immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will be a great educational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our population who can secure its educational advantages, this in turn, depends upon its location, as the time in traveling to and from the Exposition, and the cost in railroad and Pullman fares, are the most important factors. Considering these matters, New Orleans claims to being the "Logical Point" for this Panama Exposition, seem to be fully substantiated by the following facts:—New Orleans is 500 miles from the center of population in the United States, San Francisco is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radius of 500 miles from New Orleans there are 17,500,000 people. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 2,000,000. Within a radius of 1,000 miles from New Orleans, there are 65,000,000. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 6,000,000. At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans, there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20,000,000. Averaging 900 miles from San Francisco there are only 8 large cities, with a combined population of just 1,000,000. The average distance of all these cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,—to San Francisco 2,407 miles. Over 75 per cent of the people of the United States could go to an Exposition there at an average expense for railroad fare of $12.50, as against an average of $37.50 to the Pacific Coast; and for several millions of our people, the Pullman fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for a trip to San Francisco, would amount to more than all their transportation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. This is an important public question to be settled by Congress at the session which convenes in December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposition, and if held in New Orleans a great many more could spare the time and money for the trip than could go to San Francisco. Therefore, we urge our readers to write to the two senators from this State and the congressman from this district, requesting them to support New Orleans in the contest. Trouble in the Troupe.

The advisory board of the National Religious Training School, of which Dr. James D. Shepard is president, held its first meeting for the fall at Durham, N.C., on Wednesday, Oct. 12, to arrange for the work of the school this winter. The president of the board is the well known Judge Peter C. Pritchard. The plan is to begin a campaign to raise the necessary funds for the erection of new buildings. The school's influence has been doubled by the very successful six weeks' summer normal and Chautauqua held the past summer. Among the prominent southern white men who are aiding the institution are Bishop Robert Strange of the eastern North Carolina diocese, Archdeacon G. W. Avent of the same theological district, N. B. Broughton of Raleigh, Judge Pritchard of Asheville, the Rev. Dr. Jasper C. Massee of Chattanooga, Tenn., to say nothing of the northern ministers and teachers of both races who are giving liberally of their means. The school is now beyond the experimental stage and is at the beginning M. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. of a career of usefulness, whose chief aim is working an immediate uplift through the Negro ministers, the recognized leaders of the race. Of the work of the school Bishop Strange, for years a missionary and educator of the highest standing in the south, says: "I am much interested in this Chautauquan for the Negro. I think highly of Dr. Shepard, and I believe this institution will be a real help to the Negro." Entering upon its first winter work, the school finds itself in need of money. Upon its advisory board there are twenty-seven men, nearly all white men and many southerners. Buildings and equipment, aside from the medical building, will cost $25,000. Extension work needs are placed at $5,000, light and heat $5,000 and water $1,000. The $11,000 required would put the institution where its own income would begin to be a real help in the work. Business will be part of the course of instruction, but the great plan is to reach those spots in the rural south where at present the ministers, through lack of broader opportunity, are ineffective. INCORRIGIBLE COLORED CHILDREN'S NEW HOME. Trustees Have Secured the Old John D. Lown Estate at Rhinebeck. The Home For Incorrigible Colored Children will be located at Rhinebeck. N. Y., after Oct. 10. The trustees of the institution have purchased the old John D. Lown farm near the village of Rhinebeck, upon which will be operated a model farm to be worked by the youths of the institution. There are over a hundred children in the institution. It is the purpose of the trustees to raise produce enough from the farm after the first year to maintain the home. The section in which the home is located is surrounded by the estates of wealthy white people, and if it is properly managed, instead of meeting opposition from these white neighbors, the managers will readily find them ready and willing to assist the institution. Among the wealthy landowners adjoining the farm are such well known American financiers as ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton, John Jacob Astor, Colonel F. H. Olin, William Starr Miller and R. R. Buckley. The old farm quarters are undergoing repairs previous to the coming of the corps of teachers, the children and the belongings of the home. What Texas Politicians Need. The local white Republicans are in quite a pickle, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. They want the Negro vote, and are asbamed to ask for it under the Lyon regime. They are correct. What we want and must have before the party will grow is an administration which has patriotism and sense enough to respect character and worth, whether those qualities are to be found in a Negro, or some other race variety. race variety.

Mr. Goodwin was to preach in a township some twenty miles distant, she resolved to be present, and as no other way offered, she walked the twenty miles. The pastor heard of this, and was so pleased at the appreciation which it showed that, at the close of the sermon he mentioned the fact to the congregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs to tell them how she came.

MISS BURROUGHS' LEADERSHIP Woman's Auxiliary Convention Contributes $15,000 to Foster the Work of the National Training School For Women and Girls—Strong Temperance Plank in Its Curriculum. By N. BARNETT DUDSON. The contribution of more than $15,000 for the education of girls and women by the woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention, is another chapter in that remarkable series on self help among the colored people that in later years has marked their efforts at race progress. All the efforts of the convention have lately been centered in the establishment and maintenance of the National Training School For Women and Girls, which is located at Lincoln heights, District of Columbia, and in which it is the aim to teach girls and women of the race how to live and be of service. The institution is devoting itself entirely to the development of the host that there is in every woman and girl and thus creating, within her self-reliance and a deep sympathy that will so clear her vision that she will see her duty on every hand and will not be lacking in the determination to do her part well. The moving spirit in all this work, is Miss Nannle H. Burroughs, a good representative of the new conscientious young womanhood, who for several years has been the corresponding secretary of the woman's convention, which fosters the new school. The work of the institution during the past year has more than justified its existence. Miss Burroughs, by constantly calling attention to the efficacy of the work she is doing, was able to report at the recent meeting of the convention more than $15,000 for the work in one year. Besides maintaining this school for the exclusive training of young women the convention, through Miss Burroughs, supplies large quantities of literature to local organizations of a missionary character, helps maintain missionaries in African fields, takes care of several African students in other Baptist schools, does juvenile work and in many ways acts as a guide and restraining influence upon many of the women of the race whom it can reach. The first year's work found in the missionary training department fifteen A. E. MISS N. H. BURROUGHS. young women, four of whom were pledged to go to Africa on the completion of their studies and one to Haiti. Domestic science is taught, the value of which, as an economic asset, is impressed upon the students daily by the principal and teachers. Miss Burroughs is a pronounced advocate of the theory that. If colored girls and women are to perform any portion of the domestic work in the families of the south and of the nation it behooves them to be able to do it well enough to shut out any class of competition. In this connection she is also pronounced in her ideas as to the proper conduct of young women and at the risk of considerable criticism from ultra extremists, occasionally gives the women and girls with whom she comes in contact throughout the country some rather plain advice. The National Training school takes on a great work and as far as its limited apparatus will permit is "minking good." In its curriculum room is left for pronounced instruction along these lines, not the least of which is temperance: "If we cannot put into office men who are opposed to saloons we can put out of the pulpit men who do not stand for temperance. If we cannot vote the saloon out of town we can vote the beer bucket and the whisky flask out of the home and out of the pocket." What has been done to secure the plant, which is already valued at upward of $20,000, has been done by the race, Miss Burroughs proceeding on the theory that it is better to demonstrate what the race can do for its own upfit before seeking outside aid. DON'T NEGLECT YOUR KIDNEYS. Little kidney troubles gradually grow, more serious and pave the way to dropy, diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of trouble. They cure all kidney lills. Mother and Child Mrs. F. I. Stewart, Walnut Grove St., Princeton, Ky., says: "Doctors said I had gravel and gave my case up as hopeless. I gradually grew worse and death seemed near. Finally I be- gan with Doan's Kidney Pills and soon received relief. In six weeks I was completely cured." Remember the name—Doan's.

Reggy—We have been insulted. The other day the firemen rescued us fellows from the burning clubhouse, and now the reporters have the account headed, "A Few Things Saved, but Nothing of Value." WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN TROUBLE "I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limbs, from the knee to the toes. I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there, I used all the medicines that I could get but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy, with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs, 1621 Second Ave., New York, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1000." "Mrs. Bertha Sachs is my sister-in-law and I know well how she suffered and was cured by Cuticura Remedies after many other treatments failed. Morris Sachs, 321 E. 89th St., New York, N. Y., Secretary of Deutsch-Ostrowower Unt.-Verein, Kemppner Hebrew Benevolent Society, etc." Managing a Husband. Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never let them dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about, no man will endure coercion. But managing! It is an art so subtle, so clusive, that few women understand even the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let its reason together, says Woman's Life. In every human being there is a spark of the divine; it is yours to fan that spark into a flame—that is managing a man—it is to get the very best out of him there is to have, and not two women in ten can do it. Do not think that there is anything unworthy in managing a man—to bring out the best is a high vocation. Only let us see to it that we are worthy of it. There are women who have made angels of men, but at the cost of their own divinity. There is room for more than one unselfish person in a family. Telephonic Reply. the elderly stranger, by invitation of the superintendent, was addressing the Sunday school. "How many can tell me," he asked, "which is the longest chapter in the Bible? Many hands went up. "This little boy may answer," he said, pointing his finger at an urchin in one of the seats near the front. "Which is the longest chapter in the Bible? "Psalm double one nine!" shouted Tommy Tucker. "I am positive this actress buys her puffs." puffs." "Which ones—newspaper or hair dresser's?" NEW FORCE IN THE SERVICE Increase in the Number of Female Attendants on Railroads. On account of the constant demand made on the great railroad corporations by female passengers who travel extensively on the cars of the company for female attendants is beginning to receive attention. The position and importance of the dining car porter are too well known to necessarily admit of comment. But the female attendant in any considerable numbers is almost entirely new. With the close competition of the various roads for the patrounge of the traveling public has come this very necessary line of special service. It is not so strange now to see bright and competent young women, both W. H. MRS. ARDELLE TAYLOR. white and colored, caring for the special compartments for women on trains running from one end of the country to the other. So that in this new line of livelihood the competent young colored women, along with women of the other races, are proving to be important factors in the hum and bustle of travel. We have come into the possession of the above facts by our acquaintance with Mrs. Ardelle Taylor of New York, who is one of the most capable and trustworthy attendants on the regular Pennsylvania limited trains out from New York to Chicago. Mrs. Taylor secured the position solely on account of her exceptional ability and knowledge of how to skillfully handle large numbers of women. Knowing the old proverb that a pleased customer gains for the trade another patron, Mrs. Taylor's services were readily accepted. The fact that Mrs. Taylor is a gifted linguist also added to her fitness for the position which she so admirably fills. New York Headquarters In Charge of Miss Irena L. Moorman. Permanent headquarters for the Afro-American branch of the Political Equality association, of which Mrs. Oliver H. P. Bolmont is president, have been opened at 83 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, New York, with Miss Irena L. Moorman, one of the pioneer members, in charge. The rooms will be open evenings during the fall and winter. They are comfortably furnished and well supplied with suffrage literature; and there will be various lecture courses and study classes in the season. The opening of the headquarters marks the growth of the branch to 100 members, the point at which Mrs. Belmont promised the members that she would provide them with rooms of their own. Later, with further increased size, the branch will move into a regular suffrage settlement house. The National Woman Suffrage association, at 505 Fifth avenue, has furnished a pretty reception room adjoining the office of the president, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. In this is a picture of Susan B. Anthony and the chair she used in the last forty-three years of her life. One end of the room is filled with portraits of other suffrage leaders and workers. There are posters used by the English suffrageters, and on a center table are the suffrage "rainbow fliers." Political Situation in Oklahoma. The fight that the Negroes are making in Oklahoma against the iniquitous grandfather clause, which ains to disfranchise them, is admirable, says the Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. This fight is being watched with no little interest by the race throughout the country. The commendable thing is that it is receiving the strong support of the Republican organization. Glowing Report on Foreign Missions. At the recent annual meeting of the national Baptist convention held in New Orleans, the foreign mission board reported as the result of its year's labors three school buildings finished, two churches, $26,299.54 and as having baptized 1,011 persons. Temporary Heat Quickly Did you ever stop to think of the many ways in which a perfect oil heater is of value? If you want to sleep with your window open in winter, you can get sufficient heat from an oil heater while you undress at night, and then turn it off. Apply a match is invaluable in its capacity of quickly giving heat. Apply a match and it is immediately at work. It will burn for nine hours without refilling. It is safe, smokeless and odorless. It has a damper top and a cool handle. An indicator always shows the amount of oil in the font.

Queer Questions. Queer questions come over the telephone to the newspaper offices. Here was one that the man who chanced to answer the phone had put up to him the other day: "Say," began the unknown seeker after the truth, "do you—do you remember who it was that killed Abel?" "Why, Caln, of course," replied the newspaper man, who put in several years at Sunday school. "Who'd you suppose?" "Well," observed the man at the other end in an annoyed tone, "doggon if I ain't gone and made a fool o' myself. Course it was Caln, now that you mention it, but I made a two to one bet with a fellow that 'twas Gollath, and now I'll have to go without a new overcoat, I reckon, this next winter."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. She Has Changed Her Opinion. "I hear your maiden aunt is visiting you." "How long does she expect to stay?" "Oh, I don't know—probably for some time." "I feel sorry for your wife.
