If The Money is to be Raised in The Allotted Time BALTIMOREANS CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY Secretaries Moorland and Morriss Urge Workers To Redouble Their Efforts—The Money Must Be Raised in Top Days VOL. XXI NO.13. $25,000 CAMPAIGN FOR Y. Nearly Eight Thousand Dollars Night—Subscriptions Must be If The Money is the The Allotte BALTIMOREANS CANNOT A GREAT OPPO Secretaries Moorland and Morr double Their Efforts—T Raised in T Have you subscribed to the fund of $25,000 that the race is trying to raise by next Wednesday night in order that Baltimore will not lose the opportunity to secure a $ 100,-000 building for its colored Y. M. C. A.? The campaign is now being waged and Baltimoreans subscribed $7992 up to Thursday night. It is the last chance and those who do not want to see Baltimore do less than what other cities have done should get in touch with the headquarters, 1120 Druid Hill avenue. The campaign began Monday with a zest, and the workers brought in subscriptions exceeding $2,600. $2,-002.75 was reported Thursday night, one worker, Mr. William Anderson agreed to make up the difference between pledges secured by him and $250 if the same was not secured by Saturday night. All over the city men have been scouring and they expect you, Mr Big Citizen, not give a small $10, but many times that MORRISS' CHEER W. H. Morriss, general secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., was an interested onlocker, Thursday when the workers made their reports. He delivered a brief address urging the workers to do everything possible to secure the required amount as they are providing a big need, in a big city. He declared that the training of the boys and men of the present would indicate what kind of a city that Baltimore will be a generation off. "Men" he said, "you are doing the biggest thing of your lives. You are not begging, but you are doing something that the community needs. You are planning the way to still do bigger things in the future. We must all plan to save the boy and the young man, and I bid you God speed in your work." Dr. J. E. Moorland, who is directing the campaign: W. F. De Bardeleben, general secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A.; James A. B. Callis president of the association, and a hundred other workers have been working indefatigably for the success of the campaign. Mr. Moorland has conducted a campaign in a dozen cities, and none have failed. He believes that Baltimore will do the same as the other cities—give the amount asked. DR. MOORLAND OPTIMISTIC. "This campaign for $25,000 must succeed," Dr. Moorland told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger. "Every city has responded to the call for duty. Every man should feel that he ought to give in keeping with his means, and I am surprised at several of our well-to-do men giving a ridiculously small sum. Every colored man in the city who owes his business or professional success to the patronage of the race should be a large contributor. The race made his success possible and he should be willing to give generously to a cause that will not only make. for the uplift of men and boys, but will also help to give them the same opportunities for success that he has had. Those who owe their success to the race owe the race a duty, and should discharge the same by being morally and financially in all movements that tend toward race betterment. I have just received a report of the work that the Washington Y. M. C A. has done within the past six months. The receipts from various sources totaled $2,000, and there is a balance on hand of $1,100. I mention this to show that when we have a modern uuilding in Baltimore that the funds for its maintenance will be forthcoming from the many who stand ready to enjoy its advantages. WE MUST NOT LOSE If Baltimore is to have a Y. M. C. A. the money must be subscribed by next Wednesday night. If the $25,000 is not forthcoming by then, we lose the opportunity to get $25,000 from Julius Rosenwald and $50,000 from the Central Y. M. C. A., and will therefore not get the new building that is so solely needed." The workers gather each night at 6:30 o'clock at the headquarters, 1120 Druid Hill avenue, where, following a dinner, the heads of the various teams read their reports for the day. Dr. Moorland gives one of his characteristic talks, and then follow Mr. Callis, Mr. Debardeleben and some of the workers. There slogan is, "we must bring home the bacon" and they are working with a will. While the workers will visit all sections of the city in covering their assignments, any one who wants to give may communicate with the headquarters and a worker will be sent to see him or else he may bring it to the headquarters himself. The workers manifested the deep interest that they have in the campaign by contributing over $2,600 at the intital-gathering Monday night. The names of the captains of the various teams and the amounts raised by them up to Thursday night follow: Julius C. Johnson, $250; Thomas J. Smith, $717.25; W. T. Greenwood, $725.75; Dr. J. C. Robinson, $648.50; Dr. Albert O. Reid $ 504; Truly Hatchett, acting, $911; Dr. T S. Hawkins, $1038.50; T. A. Date, $645.75; Walter S. Emerson, $1,405, and Glendford Pennington, $940.50. Mr. Heathman Resigned Providence, R. I., Nov. 20. William A. Heathman has resigned as member of the State Returning Board, which canvasses elections. He served on the board for ten years and was regarded as an expert. His growing law practice is said to have caused him to relinquish the position. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, NOV. 23, 1912. DR. ISAAC RENDELL LAID TO REST Large Concourse Pay Last Tribute of Respect to President Emeritus of Lincoln. A LIFE DEVOTED TO TRAINING OF NEGRO MEN. Large Number of Race Leaders Who Came Under His (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) (Lpecial to The Arro-American Ledger.) Lincoln University, Pa., Nov. 20.—The funeral of Dr. Isaac Norton Rendell, the venerable president emeritus of Lincoln University, who died last Friday from pneumonia, was held yesterday afternoon in the Mary Dod Brown Chapel. The services were largely attended by prominent en and women of both races. The deceased educator spent the best days of his life in building up Lincoln University, and there was no white teacher in the country who was more beloved by his pupils. Around his life centers the development of the school which has probably given more graduates degrees than any other colored college in the country. The alumni of Lincoln University are scattered all over the country, and rank with the abest and most successful men that the race has produced. A man of wide learning and deep religious convictions, Dr. Rendall always sought to place high ideals before his students, and no man was prouder of he success of his "boys" than he. All of the students affectionately referred to him as "Pap" Rendall. He was on a train to take charge of the then Ashmum Institute on the very day that Abraham Lincoln was shot, and name of the school was changed after Lincoln's death to that of Lincoln University. In the days immediately following the Civil War, with the exception of Howard University, it was about the only Negro college in the country, and students came from all sections of the country. The great majority of the graduates almost immediately began to carve out successful careers, either as ministers, lawyers, physicians or teachers. The Grimkes, Bishop George W. Clinton, the late Bishop W. F. Dickerson, Dr. George C. Hall, the prominent Chicago physician; Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livinstone college; the late Rev. J. C. Price are among the men graduates who have become well known all over the country. When Dr. Rendall assumed charge of the old Ashmum Institute, there was only one small building. Now buildings valued at $300,000 dot the pretty campus and the school has an endowment of $700,000, making it one of the richest for the race in the country. It has also a fine theological department connected therewith. The school has always been controlled by the Presbyterian Church, and Dr. Rendall himself was a minister of that denomination. He was born in Utica, N. Y., September 30, 1825. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Princeton College in 1852 and three years later was graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary. He spent two years in travel in Europe. He was ordained by the Mohawk Presbytery in 1860, and was given a pastorate at O_eida, N. Y.. Later he went to Emporium, Pa. Dr. Rendall retired from the ac 1 tive work of the presidency in 1906; his nephew, Rev. Dr. John Rendall succeeding him. He continued to live on the university campus, and his alert mind and strong physique still showed themselves in deep interest in the work. It is said that he never turned a deserving student away for the lack of funds and that he himself always spent a generous share of his salary to aid students. His students were his children, as he never married. The funeral services were impressive. The invocation was by Rev. Dr. Talley, of Media, Pa.; scripture lesson, Rev. Dr. William Stewart, of the University faculty; short eulogies by Prof. Galbreath, representing the faculty; Miss Mary C. Jackson, of Haines Institute. Augusta, Ga.; Prof. Cartre, of Lincoln University; Rev. Dr. Holliday, of the Board of Trustees, and Dr. Wililam A. Creditt, '85, who represented the alumni. Dr. George E. Cannon, of New Jersey, read resolutions from the Alumni Association. A number of telegrams from various parts of the country were read. The pallbearers were his six grandnephews, sons of his nephew, Dr. John B. Rendall, the present head of the university. Interment was at Oxford, Pa. About one hundred of the graduates of the school attended the funeral. The Baltimoreans present were: Dr. W. T. Carr, Rev. D. G. Hill, Rev. L. Z. Johnson, Dr. F. N. Cardoza, Dr. Charles H. Fowler and Warner T. McGuinn. They came as representatives of the Alumni Association. Dr. Rendall's death caused much sorrow among the local alumni, and many were the expression of praise for his great work in the cause of Negro education. The local alumni gave a dinner at the home of Dr. W. T. Carr, in honor of the deceased educator several years ago, and there was no happier man in the gathering than Dr. Rendall, who was then nearing 85 years of age. The local alumni association met Sunady night and adopted resolutions of condolence. Dr. and Mrs. Barbour Will Philadelphia, November 22.—Dr. and Mrs. J. Max Barber, who were married here a few days ago, are now residing 3223 Woodlan avenue. The bride was Miss Hattie B. Taylor. Dr. Barber is 34 years of age and was graduated from Virginia Union University. He is a brilliant writer and was editor of the Voice of the Negro, which was first published at Atlanta. When the Atlanta riot occurred he sent a telegram to the New York World, giving what many said was the true status of things. For this he was ordered to leave that city. He came here several years ago and began the study of Dentistryat the University of Pennsylvania. He was graduated last June. Was First Superintendent of Colored Schools in Wash- PROF. ROSCOE C. BRUCE PRESIDES Beautiful Tribute to a Useful Life by Dr. W. S. Mont- (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, November 20.—Memorial services for John F. Cook, the first superintendent of colored schools were held at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church last night. The services were largely attended, many of the teachers of the public schools being present. It was voted to request that the new building for the Colored Normal School be named after the deceased educator. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of colored schools presided at the meeting in memory of Mr.Cook. Dr. W. S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the twelfth division, delivered the principal address in ecology. M. Grant Lucas secretary of the resolutions committee, presented resolutions which were adopted. They were seconded by Miss Marion S. Shadd supervising principal of the eleventh division. Miss E. F. G. Meritt, assistant director of primary instruction, and Miss A. T. Howard, members of the committee on the movement to have the school named for Mr. Cook, reported that teachers were favorable to having also a memorial. This may take the form of a tablet or a bust to be placed in the school if it is named for him. Among those who spoke were, Henry Johnson, former trustee of the schools; J. T. Petty, of the assessor's office of the District, and Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson. Rev. F. J. Grimke led the devotional exercises. Musical numbers were given by an octet of teachers, Felix Weir, and Prof. J. T. Layton. Miss J. E. Brooks gave a recitation. Dr. Montgomery's Remarks. Dr. Montgomery in eulogizing the former superintendent, said in part: "This man whose life and services are commemorated, whose character teachers, friends and fellow citizens honor, was one of nature's noblemen. "Many within the sound of my voice vividly recall his splendid physique, his courtly bearing, polished manners and cultivated voice. He easily became the cyonsure of all the eyes as he met and mingled in the various relations of life. Mr. Cook was well born and well educated. "It is not easy for me in this presence to speak fittingly and adequately of one held by all to have been a splendid man, a remarkable administrator and an able educator. It is particularly hard on such an occasion to speak of one whose nature shunned what ever savored of show. He is worthy of all eulogistic words we may be able to utter. "If a man's capacity be measured by work achieved, George F. T. Cook must be placed among eminent men of his time; if by far reaching results of his labors, he must be enrolled among the great and unforgettable benefactors of mankind."

BUSINESS MAN AND INVENTOR Success Achieved by a North Carolinian Through His Own Efforts and Determination to Win Out—Loyal Friend to His Race and a Benefactor of Many of His Countrymen. New York.—One of the most enterprising young business men in this city, who is destined to reach a high place in the commercial life of the race, is N. H. Drew. Like most young men who overcome difficulties and win success, Mr. Drew tells an interesting story of the many hard struggles which he has encountered during his brief business career in the north. When Mr. Drew became a resident of New York a few years ago he was unknown, had no money and no friends to whom he might look for any substantial assistance. But by pluck and energy, self reliance and a determination to succeed he has carved out a way for himself. He is a native of Margaretsville, N. C., where he received the rudiments of an education. As a boy he worked about the railroad station in his home town. The experience which he gained by doing errands and odd jobs he later turned to good account. Being dominated with the spirit of thrift and industry and with a desire to better his condition, young Drew [Name] decided to try his fortune in Norfolk, Va., but only remained there for one year. Leaving Norfolk, Mr. Drew's next stopping place was in Long Island City, N. Y., where he applied for work in a newspaper office; but, being unacquainted with the many details of work of this kind, his application was not favorably considered. He did find employment, however, in a factory in Long Island City, and this gave him his first experience of work in the north. After remaining in this position for some time Mr. Drew secured a position in an apartment house in New York, accepting the small sum of $1.50 per week, with room and board. In this capacity he made good. He saved enough within a few years to warrant his going into business for himself. Mr. Drew is a brother of the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, founder and pastor of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist church in Washington. N. H. Drew's success in business should serve as an inspiration to other young men in this city from the south to make good use of their time, save their money and become good citizens instead of living a shiftless life as many of them do. Mr. Drew attributes much of his success in life to the high ideals of manhood which he learned from his parents, and to promptness and honesty in all his business transactions. He is loyal to his race and has been able to help many young men and women from the south, strangers in New York, to secure good paying positions. He is interested in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the race, and his place of business is a rendezvous for many a person seeking advice or employment. Mr. Drew is also of a studious disposition and has invented several devices which are of value to housekeepers. His best published literary production is a pamphlet entitled, "Progress of Life." which, he says, has received considerable public attention. It is issued from Mr. Drew's place of business in West Eighteenth street. Young Men's Christian Association. The prospect for a new building for the Young Men's Christian association in Philadelphia seems bright. Work on the plans is going forward rapidly. The building is to cost $100,000. It will be of brick, four stories high, with basement, and have a frontage of 120 feet. A swimming pool, gymnasium, social lobby, and game room will be features. Class and club rooms will occupy the second door, and the upper stories will contain living rooms. Henry W. Porter, who has been in charge of the Southwark branch since its organization two years ago, will have THE TERM "NEGRO." How It Is Defined by the Statutes of Various States. Various states define the term "Negro" in various ways. This fact is gleaned from the Negro Year Book, published at Tuskegee institute under the direction of Monroe N. Work, in charge of research and records into and of his race. The statutes of Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas assert that "a person of color" is one who is descended from a Negro to the third generation, inclusive, though one ancestor in each generation may have been white. According to the law of Alabama one is "a person of color" who has had any Negro blood in his ancestry for five generations. In Michigan, Nebraska and Oregon one is not legally a Negro who has less than one-fourth Negro blood in his veins. In Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and South Carolina "a person of color" is one who has as much as one-eighth Negro blood. In Virginia a Negro is one who has one-sixteenth or more Negro blood. The constitution of Oklahoma reads: "Whenever in this constitution or in the laws of the state the word or words 'colored race' or 'Negro' or 'Negro race' are used, the same shall be construed to mean or to apply to all persons of African descent. The term 'white' shall include all other persons." In Arkansas "persons of color" include all who have a visible and distinct admixture of African blood. The other states of the Union have no statutes defining the term "Negro." Thus it would seem that a Negro in one state is not always a Negro in another. These and many other facts regarding the progress and development, present and past status, of the Negro race, are found collected in the Negro Year Book. PRESBYTERIANS IN UPLIFT WORK FOR AFRO-AMERICANS Recent Annual Meeting In St. Louis Shows Big Results. St. Louis.-The experiment of the Presbyterian church's freedmen's board in establishing colored persons on individual farms in Georgia was described as part of the board's work by Miss Roberta Barr of Pittsburgh at the recent annual meeting of the Missouri Synodical society in the West Presbyterian church, this city. Miss Barr, who is assistant secretary of the board, said the first aim of the board is to give the Negro race a good moral foundation. They must therefore first be trained in the Bible and Christian living. "The board is criticised sometimes," she said, "because it does not make industrial education the first feature. It believes thoroughly in industrial education and equips schools for the work as fully as possible." She described the farm of 1,000 acres at Keysville, Ga., near Augusta, from which the board is parceling off to the Negroes farms of twenty or thirty acres each, giving to each a mule and a plow and building a small cottage. The tenant is allowed to pay for this equipment and the land by rental fees, so that in time the property becomes his own. "The colored people of the United States now own farms," said Miss Barr, "of such extent as would include all the New England states." By this statement she referred to Negro ownership generally, not alone to that fostered by the Presbyterian board. This board operates 131 schools, all of them being taught entirely by Negroes except six. The board emphasizes the need of an educated Negro ministry and supports in part 280 Negro ministers. There are 15,000 children in the board's schools, and in each one the Bible is a daily textbook. Mrs. M. J. Gildersleeve of New York city, secretary of the woman's board of home missions, at a study class during the meeting pointed out the wide culture which may accrue from mission study. "It is a university education," she said. At another time she pointed out the common tie between all the varied peoples of the United States—Alaskans, mountainers, Negroes, Mexicans and Indians—speaking also of the Cultans and Porto Ricans, to whom the board ministers. She said the building of railroads and the development of resources are greatly increasing the missionary's opportunity. Mrs. S. L. McAfee of Parkville said that among the 200 or more delegates two interesting personages were the Misses Clingan, who started a mission in a remote region in the Ozarks, and have continued it with much hardship, although now better established than at first. Their station is Gladstone, Mo. The statistics of the home mission work of the society, presented by Mrs. G. H. Van Dyke of Clinton, Mo., stated all the ten presbyterial societies of the synod were represented. In this aggregation there are 5,000 members whose work is subdivided into work for women, young women and children. The contributions for the year have been $13,212. Florida Teachers to Meet In Ocala. President N. B. Young of the Florida Teachers' association has issued a call for the winter meeting of the organization to be held in Ocala, Fla. from Dec. 31 to Jun. 2, 1913. Ocala is one of the most thrifty towns in the state, and those who attend the sessions of the association will be charmed by the hospitality of the committee, which already has plans under way for entertaining the large number of delegates and visitors to the meeting. OUR MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENTS Evidences of the Ability of Colored Composers. INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG. Encouraging Signs of Promise For the Future of the Race In the World of Music—Over Threescore Compositions Written by a Colored Bandmaster. By JOHN E. BRUCE (GRIT). Everybody who has taken the trouble to investigate the matter knows that one of the most beautiful songs ever written, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," was composed by a wandering Negro street minstrel, George Milburn of Philadelphia, over fifty years ago. It was set to music by a white man, Septimus Winner, who got all the credit for it and whatever financial profit there was in it. Milburn got something like a dozen copies of the song after it was published, and many people told him he was a genius. But Milburn was not the only Negro in Philadelphia who could compose sweet tunes. He was, perhaps, the only one among his brethren in the musical firmament who could not write a musical score. Of those who could give full expression to their ideas as composers of music may be mentioned James Hemmenway, who wrote a sentimental song entitled, "Thint Rest So Sweet Like Bliss Above." which attained wide popularity in Philadelphia and elsewhere. It was published in Atkinson's Casket, a musical journal, to which he was a contributor in October, 1829. Mr. Hemmeway wrote also "The Philadelphia Grand Entree March," "Washington Gray's Grand March," "Washington Gray's Bugle Call" and "Hunter and Hop Waltzes," which were published by Willig, and the "Philadelphia Hop Waltz." published by Lee & Walker. Another Philadelphia, A. J. Conner, wrote and dedicated to Miss Matilda Cornish, a popular and prominent young lady of color, a song entitled "My Cherished Hopes. My Fondest Dreams," which was published in the Anglo-African Magazine in January, 1857. He also wrote the "Evergreen Polka," published by Oliver Ditson in Boston, 1859; "American Polka Quadrilles," 1846; "New York Polka Waltz," published by A. Flot in Philadelphia, 1846; "General Taylor's Galop," published by J. G. Osborn, 1846; "Philadelphia Polka Waltz"; "I. O. of O. F. Quadrille," published by Lee & Walker, 1846; "Chestnut Street Promenade Quadrille," published by S. T. Gordon, New York, 1850. Robert Murray of Baltimore wrote the "Furioso Galop," published by Boswell & Barlett, and the "Tedesco Polka," published by George Willig. I have not been able to fix the dates of these publications, however. J. W. Postlewate of St. Louis in 1852 wrote and published the "St. Louis Grays' Quickstep" and the "Dewdrop Schottish" in 1851. They were published by Balmer & Weber, St. Louis. The famous Negro bandmaster of Philadelphia and leader of Frank Johnson's band, the only organization of its kind (of which we have any knowledge) to tour Europe in a series of band concerts and which was commanded to play before Queen Victoria, was the author of more than threesecond musical compositions—dirges, marches, quadrilles, cotillions, polkas, patriotic songs, quicksticks, etc. "The Victoria Galop," in honor of the queen of England, and "General Cadwallader's March," gained considerable popularity in their day. Both were published by Willig at Philadelphia, as were most of his other productions. The Society For Historical Research has quite an extensive list of these early Negro musical composers. That the Negro is highly musical is attested by the many creditable evidences of his genius as a composer which have been handed down to us by a past generation. These are hopeful signs of promise for the future of the Negro in music and should furnish inspiration to the rising generation. AMBITION OF MRS. HALEY. New Chief of St. Louis True Reformers Has Brilliant Record. The appointment of Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley to the position of chief of the St. Louis division of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers has been announced from the headquarters of the order in Richmond. Va. Mrs. Haley succeeds Grand Master Floyd Ross, who was for many years chief of the St. Louis division. Mrs. Haley is a native of St. Louis and was educated in the public schools. in which she served for several years as a teacher. She is an aggressive leader in the social, fraternal and religious circles of her race in Missouri, being president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; grand secretary of the Order of Eastern Star of Missouri, and is vice president of the special state board of commissioners appointed by Governor Hudley for the Industrial Home For Negro Girls. During her recent trip through the east, from which she has returned, Mrs. Haley addressed many large audiences in Richmond, Va.; Washington, and other cities.

Let everybody help. The churches will have the opportunity to help both by word and deed tomorrow. Every church ought to help because it will in turn help the church. Isn't your conscience pricking you because you only gave half of what you should have given? If so, go down to headquarters and make up the difference. When you have built the Y. M. C. A's new building you will then commence to realize what a good thing you have done, and you would not have your money back if some one wanted to give it to you. There seems to be a feeling in some quarters that the incoming administration is going to be inimical to the interests of the Negro. We have no fears along that line. We believe that we are going to get some very good things out of the Wilson administration, and if we do not we will be greatly disappointed. We cannot afford to have this campaign for the Y. M. C. A. a failure just think of it: Three dollars for every one we raise. That is what is promised us. Let's make good. Chip off somewhere. Make a sacrifice for once in your life and for a cause you will in all probability never have the opportunity to give again. Remember your boys and do all you can. OUR CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD For the first time in the history of the city the colored people have been asked to take part in a campaign to raise a large sum of money. It is true that from time to time rallies for church purposes have been held, and sums varying from five dollars and up have been contributed, but never large sums, such as fifty, one hundred and two hundred have been asked, and in consequence, many of our citizens do not realize what it really means to enter into a campaign of this kind. However that may be, there is no question that the colored people of this city are up against a proposition such as has never confronted them before. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, a philanthropic merchant, has felt called upon to contribute in some way to the welfare of the colored people of this country, so he. he has offered twenty-five thousand dollars to any city which will raise seventy-five thousand dollars for a building for a colored Young Men's Christian Association. A number of cities have taken up the proposition and the result is, that today, there are going up in a number of these cities, splendid buildings, well equipped, in which will be done splendid work for the young men of the race. What has been done elsewhere can be done in Baltimore, only, however, if our professional and business men as well as all other citizens will take hold and each one do his duty. There are any number of men in our midst, who have done well and are doing well. A large number of them have risen to their present positions because of the large patronage they have received from their own people. These men owe it to themselves as well as to the people they serve to return something to those who have made it possible for them to be where they are. Some of the sums subscribed thus far have been ridiculously small so much so that the individuals giving them ought to be heartily ashamed of themselves for even offering them. Men who have received good at the hands of the people of this city, and giving five dollars where they ought to give fifty, and giving ten where they ought to give one hundred, are a disgrace to the race to which they belong. How in the world are we ever going to get up if we are to be dragged down by the very people who ought to be in the forefront of the battle? Men who are making a pittance are giving more than the men who are making thousands. This is a time that will try the mettle of the colored men of the city. Will they measure up to the opportunity or will they fail? Remember the eyes of the country are turned toward Baltimore with its nearly one hundred thousand Negroes. So far from raising twenty-five thousand dollars in ten days we ought to raise it in five days and that without a struggle. We ask again, are the men of this city, who are making their hundreds and thousands a year. going to let the men who are making five eight and ten dollars give more than they. If so, the community ought to know it, and it is to be hoped that after the battle is over the list of those who gave will be given to the press so that the people of his city will know in the future just upon whom they can depend. This is no child's affair; it is a mans' work, and if the men of Baltimore do not measure up to the standard of other men, the world ought to know it. Come now men, do your duty, and in the few remaining days, let the subscriptions roll in and let the people see that you mean business. THE PRESS, PULPIT AND THE NEGRO As whole, the daily press of this country is not fair to the Negro. We do not mean to say that it is designedly unfair. We do not impugn the motive of the editors of such publication. We simply assert the fact of unfair treatment of us, and we think we can make out a good case, before all reasonable men, of what ever race they maybe. We will pass over for the present, the unanimity with which the press write of us as the "Negro with a lower case "n," as though we were not men in every sense of that word, and thus contribute its weight of influence to educate the public to think and speak of us all in a different sense from other men. We shall pass over a great deal which intimates that we are not given a "square deal". We shall content ourselves with one or two points. Generally speaking, the press helps on the false and erroneous notion that the educated and refined of the colored race are steadily aiming after what is generally known as "social equality". We charge that the press is guilty of great injustice to a struggling people when it fails to set forward the naked truth in this matter, but perseveres in misinterpreting the real heart and soul of racial life. It is absolutely and entirely false when it is charged that educated Negroes seek social equality. There is not a particle of truth in the statement. And when the press, which reaches the great body of American people, because of our poverty, our insufficiency in the business world, or catering to that mean and vulgar spirit which seek our debasement, is slow to write the truth about us, it does us the greatest wrong. An educated young colored woman of the race, desires a seat, a certain seat, at the theatre, which, necessarily is along side of those occupied by white people. An educated young colored man is hungry and he seeks a meal in an establish THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER ment which outward keep reasons to his inward cultural feelings. A body of intelligent colored citizens desire to avail themselves of the information and inspiration of some great lecturer, and they seek for such convenience and comfort in hearing such a lecturer as other people enjoying the same degree of cultivation. Now, it is just because the white man's literature, his teachings, his concrete expression of proper ideals have created a new life, thirst, and aspiration upon the part of the group of colored people who have learned well the lesson, that their inevitable and irresistible effort to satisfy this new and growing life, is put down as desiring "social equality," whereas, they only desire practice and enjoyment of the ideal which has now become their own. It is much like as if a white instructor told his pupils that they must try and save their money, and - then purchase more desirable dwellings upon more prominent streets, thereby leaving the narrow streets and back alleys. But just as soons as his pupils have sufficiently digested his instructions, and makes an effort to carry into effect the same, this same white man objects, and starts the false cry that the fellow desires "social equality" simply and solely because he has outgrown the squalor and environments of the alley neighborhood, and desires outward environments in keeping with the new interior life which urges him on and on. This is all there is in "social equality". The man of the colored race who purchases a first class seat at the theatre has not the least desire to pass a word with the white man who may set in the seat next to him. He has just the same mental fitures, and sense of decency, which pertain to the white man, and there is no reason in the world why he should not have the same facilities for his enjoyment as his white neighbor. We may have all of the "Worlds" in Baltimore, and indulge in much pious talk about the coming of Christ's kingdom, but if we had the ear of the white clergy of this city we would advise that they make their starting point right under their noses. There are no introductions in heaven, and unless they become acquainted with their black brethren here, there is doubt whether another opportunity will be given them after death. There are no two factors who wrong us more than the white pulpit and the white press. We do not ask for "social equality," but we do ask, yea, we demand, and we have a right to demand, that if they persist in asying "Our Father" they must recognize and treat us as brethren. God Almighty will not accept of them anything shorter that this. He does not expect us to take the initiative. They are stronger every way, and it is written in the Good Book, "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of theweak, and not to please ourselves." Black we are, but we are Christians, and we ask for Christian treatment. It is not a question of our loss because of the lack of contact with our white brethren, but rather it is their loss. We answer them out of the very book they have taught us to be the Word of God. And we tell them, whether they like it or not that their mission is to do what many of them are laboring hard not to do. It is to throw away all that nonsense about "social equality" and show forth to the world that Jesus Christ is in their hearts and lives. We admit freely, that the Almighty is carrying the white race through the fires. It is not the Negro on trial, it is the white man. It Christianity be all he says it is, he will not only touch very closely the life of the black man, and seek to know him more intimately, but he will greatly rejoice in the privilege. In the fear of God we are not ashamed to proclaim, that unless our white Christian brethren make their fellowship with us more intimate, and let their lives touch our lives more closely, they had just as well stop repeating the opening words of the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father." THE ESSENCE OF THE GOSPEL The very essence of the glorious Gospel, is the fact that ALL men are brothers, and that the strong brethren must bring their lives to bear upon those who are weak to build them up. Jesus illustrated His meaning. He took men by the hand, He laid His hand upon men, and He came into the closest personal contact with the people making no difference whatever between any class of persons, only He seemed more partial to those who needed him most, whether publicans, sinners or harlots. And on the night before he suffered, he gave them an object lesson in humility and declared that the servant was not greater that the Master. Is this Gospel unfailingly preached in white pulpits? We hope that it is. However we owe it to our white brethren, preachers of the Word, to pray for them, pray earnestly for them that they may prove faithful to Him who hath made them ministers of His Word. They need our prayers, they need our forbearance and love; for if they be sincere and true men, theirs is a mighty task demanding not only Apostolic zeal but Apostolic martyrdom. Isn't your conscience pricking you because you only gave half of what you ought to have given? If so go right down to headquarters and make up the difference. When you have built the Y. M. C. A.'s new building you will then commence to realize what a good thing you have done, and you would not have your money back if some one wanted to give it to you. The churches will have an opportunity to help both by word and deed to morrow. Every church ought to help because it will in turn help the church. PRESS COMMENT From Baltimore comes the complaint that colored voters through about the defeat of the Republican party in Maryland. It is said that Negro voters by the wholesale went over to Roosevelt and the Democrats in the last days of the campaign. Republican leaders assert that the Negroes need never again look to the Republican party for support or assistance. In view of the recent annihilation they may never have to. But let us see if the Negroes did not have the right to desert Mr. Taft. 1. About four months before the election President Taft made this statement: "I have not appointed many Negroes to office. While I have given a few Negroes like Johnson and Tyler dignified places in Washington I have not appointed Negroes in any section where they are not wanted." Could Mr. Wilson have done worse? 2. Mr. Taft's Southern record on the Negro is a disgrace to the Republican party and its traditions. It was upon his recommendation while Secretary of War that Roosevelt issued the famous order discharging the colored soldiers for the trouble at Brownsville. 8. He appinted Judge Hook to the Supreme Bench knowing at the time that his appointee while a Federal Judge had rendered a decision upholding the infamous jim crow law and declaring that it was optional with railroads whether they afforded equal acomodations or not to Negro passengers. The senate refused to approve of Judge Hook's appointment. Now then in view of Mr. Taft's attitude toward Negro citizens while president it is not clear to us how any one could expect the colored voters to do more for the president than voters of his own race. His ignominious defeat answers No. Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va Grand Pasture Elects Officers The Grand Pasture of the Order of Nazarites elected: Charles W.

Notes From Winchester Winchester, Va., Nov. 21.—The Biblical picture show given by J. Boughton at St. Paul A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night, was very interesting and a success. The quarterly meeting held at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church last Saturday and Sunday, was a success both financially and spiritually. The revival which has been going on for two weeks at John Mann M. E. Church, is well attended. Mr. Fitzgerald Congratulated. Atlantic City, November 22. Robert Fitzgerald, the restaurant proprietor has received congratulatory messages from all parts of the country on his selection as feeholder for the Third ward. He defeated the Democratic candidate by a vote of 1054 to 865. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Y. M. C. A. Rev. P. Carter Neal, One Of Its First Presidents, Gives A Brief Sketch Of ts Beginning. Rev. P. Carter Neal, who claims to be the founder and first president of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, writes to the Afro-American Ledger this week giving the history of the beginning of the organization. He writes, in part: "The local association is the out growth of an organization of men and women that met at Calvert and Centre streets twenty years ago. The first headquarters of the present association was located at 416 W. Biddle street, with W. T. Greenwood as the first general secretary. "The Y. M. C. A. was organized February 5, 1889, with the following officers: P. Carter Neal, president; David Henry, vice president; David Henry, Secretary; Daniel Crigler, corresponding secretary and William A. Williams, treasurer. "Among the members of the association at that time were Richard Johnson, David Johnson, George Turner, John Gray, H. Rufus White, Robert Mattel and James E. Robinson. "Mr William A Hunton, an international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. heard of our being organized and visited us with encouragement and suggestions. Public meetings were held Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons, and among some of those who delivered addresses in the early days were: Rev. Dr. William H. Weaver, Rev. Dr. Garnett R. Waller, Warner T. McGuinn, James E. Fessenton, Councilman Harry S. Cummings and George M. Lane. "We held open air meetings and a number of conversions were reported. Our first anniversary exercises were held at Bethel Church, with representative men present from various city churches. All of this work was accomplished while we were at Calvert and Center streets, and was reported to Mr. W. H. Morris, of the Central Y. M.C.A., by our corresponding secretary. Daniel Crigler. Our proprety was valued at over three hundred dollars and we also had a library of choice books and a number of religious and secular papers on file. It was not an association of men and women, neither has it ever been disbanded, and a visit to the present quarters of the Y. M. C. A. will reveal some of the furniture purchased by some mentioned in this article, and who still wish the association a larger field of usefulness and stand ready to answer duty's call. The Afro-American Highly Commended Mr. Prince A. Goines, secretary of the Orange, (N.J.) Y. M. C. A. and former Secretary of the local association, writes the Afro-American Ledger a letter commending its encouragement of the plan to erect a $100,000 home for the local association. His letter follows: I am delighted to note the splendid encouragement that the Afro-American Ledger is giving the movement for the securing of $25,000 among our people for the $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building in order that Baltimore may meet its obligations to the Negro men and boys of today and those of tomorrow. I shall always remember the splendid help rendered by the Afro-American Ledger when we led the Y.M.C.A. in bringing the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Washington, to Baltimore, thus making possible its splendid work in rendering the masterpieces of that artist and genius of the race, Samuel Coleridge Taylor. BELIEVES IN BALTIMORE "I feel that our people will make good in Baltimore as they have elsewhere. God bless you and make you stronger for the same independent work that still needs to be done by such a sane, safe leader as your course in public affairs has proven you to be. Stand by the fellow and help him through! You are helping a great and far reaching work that means a mighty forch that shall start boys right in all matters, social, intellectual and physical. Many of our men are deficient and morally deformed because they were started wrong in later life." By A Score Of 10 To 6 In A Snappy And Well Played Game On Hampton Campus. Hampton, November 21.—"Ten to six in favor of Hampton Institute" was the official verdict of the hard-fought, snappy Hampton-Lincoln football game, which was played last Saturday, on the Normal School gridiron amid enthusiastic cheering by a large crowd of visitors and students. George C. Jones made a brilliant touch down for Hampton in the first quarter on Bender's forward pass, and Franklin F. Jamison succeeded in kicking the goal. Fred Bender kicked a field goal from the thirty-yard line, in the second quarter giving Hampton a score of 10 to Lincoln's 0. Lincoln, in the last quarter worked the ball to Hampton's five-yard line. Hampton, after holding their opponents for three successive downs, was penalized on the fourth down for off-side playing. This gave Lincoln the possession of the ball. Lincoln secured a touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. The whistle blew with the ball on Hampton's twenty-five yard line. Hampion's defensive work was weakened by the inability of Bender to come up to his usual form at punting because of an injury to his foot, received in the recent Howard-Hampton game. Two Lincoln players—Henry Collins, (captain) and Frank Gauss—and two Hampton players—James E. Scott and Clinton E. Warner, (captain)—were members of the colored All-Star Football Team 1911. The officials were Henderson and Robinson both of Washington D.C., members of the Interscholastic Athletic Association. Music was furnished by the Hampton Roads Concert Band which is under the management of J. Wirt Robinson. "Jack" Johnson Bailed After A Hard Fight Much Credit Is Due Attorneys Wright And Anderson For Their Fight Against Odds. Chicago, Ill, Nov. 21—The release of Jack Johnson from the Cook County jail is due to the efforts of two colored lawyers, Edward H. Wright and W. G. Anderson. At the beginning of the trouble he had an array of legal talent but they failed to get Jack out of the prison walls. Great credit is being given these two lawyers for securing the right bondsmen and fighting unceasingly against prejudice and great odds. Only those who are in immediate confidence of the counsellors themselves will ever be able to appreciate the uphill journey and difficult task which Messrs Wright and Anderson had to go through to secure Johnson's liberty. Attorney Wright was the first and only Negro to serve as president of the Cook County Board of Commissioners and has taken interest in all matters affecting the race. He has won many notable cases at the Chicago bar and is held in high esteem for his honesty and, integrity. Mr. Anderson enjoys a national reputation as an habeas corpus lawyer, having carried to successful termination some of the most noted cases which have occupied attention in Cook County for the past fifteen years. Celebrated Thirtieth Anniversary Parent Tabernacle, No. 26, Grand United Order of Moses, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary last Friday night at Moses Hall, 628 N. Eutaw street. Following the installation of officers for the ensuing six months, a collation was served. Mr. James M. Steward, who has been secretary of the lodge for the past 24 years, was presented a cake in which there were 24 lighted candles. William H. Lively, worthy superior; Mrs. Sarah Manokey, vice superior; John Bond, receiving secretary; James M. Seward, financial secretary; John B. Albert treasurer; Solomon Nickens, chapain; Mrs. Sarah M. Ross, left supporter; Mrs. Nannie Seward, right supporter; William Bell, outside sentinel; John Taylor, inside sentinel; Mrs. Eliza Livey, right conductor; Mrs. Lillian Green, left conductor, and Mrs. Julia Wells, past vice superior.

ESTABLISHMENT Nearly Three Hundred Colored Girls Are Given Employ- WORKSHOPS ARE SANITARY AND CHEERFUL Meals That Are Well Prepared Can Be Purchased At It is not likely that many men and women of the race when they visit Chicago, Philadelphia or New York and see immense establishments like those of Sears Roebuck Co., of Siegel and Cooper, Gimbel Bros. and Wanamaker think of the immense amount of labor that has built these establishments to their present great proportions. Everything in these immense business house seems to work with exact precision, and vast armies of employees are necessary to carry on the great work of these places. The business experience of years is centered there and every device that tends to efficiency and quickness is given a trial. Employes who show that they have the faculty of origination are advanced. and "Progress" seems to be printed on every sign around these establishments. These establishments carry goods that represent a thousand and one different lines, produced in probably as many factories, which happen to be scattered around in all parts of the country. Baltimore made goods may lie alongside of goods from factories in thier cities, and these great establishments usually buy from factories whose products represent a maximum of efficiency combined with a comparative cheapness of price to the middleman. Baltimore boasts of a large number of concern whose products have made a name for the city all over the country and abroad. Among these many concerns that advertise the efficiency of Baltimore and its greatness as a producing center is the firm of Wise Brothers, manufacturers of shirts and overalls. BIG CONCERN VISITED. A representative of the Afro-American Ledger paid a visit to the large establishment of this concern, at Fayette and Little Sharp streets, the other day. Imagine a five-story building, with acres of floor space and thousands of employees manufacturing goods that carry the name of Baltimore to all parts of the civilized world, equipped with every modern device for facilitating the making of shirts and overalls and with every convience for getting the manufactured product quickly to a waiting market and you have a slight conception of the magnitude of the establishment. Mr. Harry C. Hazard, the head of the departments where upwards of 260 colored girls are employed, explained many of the details concerning the workings of the great establishment as he took the reporter of the Afro-American Ledger through the great building The making of a common, ordinary work shirt is a process that requires at least a dozen different hands. The goods are first cut out, then are sent to workers on the machines, to buttonhole workers, to the examiners and through a few other kinks before they finally reach the packing department. Every employee is assigned a specific duty, and a maximum of efficiency and speed is maintained thereby. An auxiliary electric plant runs the machinery of the big concern with all of its manifold departmentsf or even the boxes that the dress shirts are placed in are made by the firm. Besides the many men and women employed, by Wise Brothers, there are quite a large number of boys both white and colored who assist in the making of cheap shirts. FACTORY vs. PRISON LABOR. "If it was not for this department," said Mr. Hazard, "we would not be able to compete with those firms that employ prison labor. Firms that employ prison labor can make their goods with very little labor cost. We have to pay our employ)es a living wage and this adds to the cost of production." The room where the colored girls are employed in the making of shirts and overalls was reached about noon, and it was a sight worth going to see. The firm has also a lunch department, where good, wholesome food may be obtained for less than half what restaurants would charge, and it is freshly cooked and warm also. Believing that warm food adds to the efficiency of the workers the firm sells meals practically at cost A cup of coffee costs one cent, a cut of pie three cents, a plateful of food six cents and soup three cents. All hot, wholesome, fresh and cheap. The kitchen is in charge of a chef, and he has three women and several boys under him. Wise Brothers was the first place of its kind in the city, to give colored girls a chance. About twelve years ago a start was made in a building on German street, and a large number of girls employed. The panic of 1907 caused the colored girls' department to be discontinued for two years, as well as curtailment in other departments. When the firm reemployed the colored girls three years ago many of the old hands came back, and are still there. In a reply to a query as to the efficiency of the colored girls, Mr. Hazard said: ARE GOOD WORKERS. "I find these girls to be among some of our most efficient workers. They are willing, painstaking, capable and most of them show that they have good home training. Of course, like in all cases where many are assembled together, you will find some that do not try to do their tasks or who will stay home frequently. Some of the workers earn as high as ten dollars in a week, and the great majority earn over $5. We do everything possible for the well being and comfort and that results in greater efficiency and earning power." One young woman who worked for Wise Brothers with the first batch of colored girls said that she liked her work. "Everything consideration possible is shown us, and we have every chance for advancement," she said. "I have been working here for twelve years and could hardly expect to labor under better conditions than now obtain. We earn as much as others doing the same class of work, and the opportunities that Wise Brothers offers colored girls are denied them by many other firms. I intend to remain as long as they will keep, me provided, of course, that a good husband does not come long." Masonic Lodges Hannibal Lodge, No. 8, of Masons, has elected the following officers for the ensuing year: John T. Bolden, worshipful master; Samuel E. Dorsey, senior warden; Walter Richardson, junior warden; Jerry Lewis, treasurer, and W. H. McClain, secretary. Mt. Lebanon Lodge of Masons has elected the following officers: Arthur Smith, worshipful master; William Burke, senior warden; William E. Carroll, junior warden; E. B. Jones, treasurer, and Thomas Dodd, secretary. Prince Hall, lodge of Masons, installed the following officers last Friday night: Essex Parker, worshipful master; George W. Lester, senior warden; James H. Jones, junior warden; Caesar Taylor, senior deacon; James H. Biddle, junior deacon; lsaiah L. Brown, treasurer; Joseph S. Frisby, secretary and Isaac Towson, tyler. The following gentlemen were presented past master' jewels: Elijah Simpson, Joseph S. Frisby, Andrew J. Evans, Robert C. Nickens and Edward Hughes, George B. Brown, George W. Williams and I. L. Brown made the presentation speeches. Sentence Vacated The sentence of John T. Hythe, who was given six months in jail and fined for the alleged sale of liquor, has been vacated on account of a flaw in the indictment. Hythe was convicted of a similar offense some time ago and the indictment for the second infraction of the law read "first offence." Attorney Thomas C. Rudell called Judge Elliott's attention to the error and the vacating of the jail sentence followed. Hythe has since sold out his saloon at the corner of Eutaw streets. VIOLENCE Violence ever defeats its own ends. Where you cannot drive you can always persuade. A gentle word, a kind look, a good natured smile, can work wonders and accomplish miracles. There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you.—Hazlitt. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER JACK JOHNSON NOT GETTING FAIR DEAL Holly Springs, Miss.—The election is over, and now President Wilson is getting ready to make up his cabinet, and he is going to make many changes. Already some of the Democrats are getting ready to close out their business to find a way to Washington and other places to take what President Wilson will give them. I congratulate all who will be successful in getting something. Of course we will be in it also. But I come to say to you this week, that this is an age of race prejudice, race hatred, race antipathy, lawlessness, crime, criminality, religion, education, progress success and failure.and it will take the Lord to tell what else. There are many widows and orphans, through race prejudice, and the spirit of murder and crime, people are in their graves. Je lousy has played a part. Men are in jail because of prejudice, and others are there because they belong there. I am not here today to abuse any one, for I am reminded of the one who said: "There is so much bad in the best of us And so much good in the worst of us, That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us." Such is life, and I know you wonder why I say this. Well it is all because of the predicament Jack Johnson has gotten himself and then the way the people all have tried to get in the band wagon. Let the world start to say some thing good about you and all will join but you let the world put big feet on you and all other feet will be trying to get on some where. I do not look upon Jack Johnson as a race leader nor do I in any way indorse his life and mannerism for it will not pay any one to follow it. He is a sporting man and he engages in all that sporting men engage. He has taken hold of the life with all there is in it, and I hope we will not produce any more like him. But then Johnson is in trouble. The whole world is upon him today. Behind it all you can see a large degree of race prejudice, as you will find everywhere. He got mixed up with white women. Way down in his heart he has a craving for "Miss Ann." That does not lay well on the stomach of the white man, hence he has been arrested and his case thrown on the canvas so to speak, and the whole world throws up hands, and cries "Behold the brute, let us crucify him." Look around and see if he is the only man who has crossed the line, either from the light or dark side, and I will not have more to say about it now. Well, I am still moving, and before this letter can get out of my hand I will be on the iron horse headed another way, and when you read this letter I will still be riding. I have been the most riding-est man in the world this year, as you will see at the close of the year, and I have fully decided to spend Christmas day in Chicago unless there is something else to claim my attention. My private secretary has promised to give me a special dinner, and Charles Stewart Jr., says that he has made me a hat and a rug, which he is going to present if I come to Chicago Christmas, and I think I shall accept his invitation and go I have been to a few conferences this fall, and I am still going to some of them. When I wrote to you last you will remember that I was near the hot place, where water was coming out of the ground hot. Well I left there, Sunday afternoon, and ent to Waco, where I spent the night, the guest of Rev. E. J. Howard. The people were all out to a cotton show Sunday night, hence but few attended church, but I was there, and had an enjoyable time. I was proud to be with Dr. Howard. Monday morning bright and early found me on the horse, headed for Memphis. It was a good long ride but I did not have to get off. I was without breakfast and the had one of them eating cars on there so I just asked the waiter to bring me something to eat. He brought me beef steak with bacon and something else which he charged one dollar. I had the dollar and paid in full all I owed. Then at Tyler, Mr. Speaker was on hand with a lunch but there was not anything in it I could eat hence I waited until 10 o'clock that night when I passed through Camden and lo and behold here was Rev. T. S. Sandefur D. D. who knew that I was going to pass through and he was there with a whole chicken and something else in a box and I tell you I did do some eating then, and enjoyed it very much. Then I went to bed, and got up the next morning in Memphis, calling on Prof. T. O. Fuller. Prof. Fuller is president of Howe Institute, and he is a great man. He is not making such fuss, but he is going on building up a great school and then he has so many friends who are coming to him. This is due to the fact that he lives right, and he is doing right. He has a host of boys and girls in the school and Howe Institute is in better condition today than it has ever been. I spent the day, with him, leaving there in the afternoon, for this place. When I got to town, there was Prof. G. S. Goodman at the stable. I met Miss P. Gertrude Lampton, on the wagon. She was on her way to conference to act as Secretary for Bishop J. M. Conner, and I shall tell you about him later. She took a seat by me. The girls are always glad to meet the friends of their father and while Bishop Lampton sleeps, yet his daughters are keeping up his memory, because he has done a great work in this world and because he made his easy to the front. Miss Lampton was the guest of Prof. Goodman, and he informed me that I was to be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is the leading barber in the town, while his wife is a graduate from Rust University. She taught for a long time, but now she is a clerk in the office of Prof. E. H. McKissack, grand treasurer of the Odd Fellows of Mississippi. He handles some money too, I am here to tell you. She is first-class clerk, and a well educated woman. In addition to this she can go into the kitchen and get any kind of meal you may want, then she can go into her parlor and entertain you on the piano, and then at the same time can sing. I want to congratulate Mr. Phillis on his selection. But I must tell you a secret he has her to college and had her graduate since marriage. The Lord took from them their heir, so they are alone by themselves. During my stay in the city of Holly Springs, I have been entertained by the Phillips in great style, and then I have been invited to other places. Mrs. G. G. Logan, invited me to her home, Prof. G. S. Goodman, of Mississippi Industrial college; Prof J. T. Docking, president of Rust! University; Prof. D. C. Potts, president of Mississippi Industrial college; Dr. B. F. Woolfolk, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, and many others. I could not go all the places I was invited to go. I have mentioned before, Prof. E. H. McKissack, and his position in the Odd Fellows, and he has one of the greatest women in this country of ours regardless of race or color, for a wife. I am sure, if you are up with the times you have heard of Mrs. Mary McKisseak, who is at the head of the District Household of Ruth. A great woman, a true woman, and a woman for her people. You noticed I used the name of Prof. Docking, and I am srure you have heard this name before, for he was at one time President of Goodman in Jacksonville, Fla. He is now at the head of the Rust University, another great school for the training of our boys and girls. I shall have something to say about it in another letter. Miss Angeline Denning, of some place in New York has charge of Mestick Science or something like that. She teaches the cook, and others about the house, that I am not well up on, and if I have used the wrong word, you will correct me. She is one of the best teachers in that business we have in this section, and then she knows how to make friends. She is indeed a young woman. I suppose she is not over twenty, but trained and knows her business from A to Z, and that is putting it where it belongs. Miss Nathalie Doxey, is in charge of music department, and she is a nine teacher, and knows music even when it is not dressed up. "I was proud to find these two competent young women connected with Rust under President Docking. He has a large body of students under him. Another time I shall talk about the teachers and school and may tell you about a birthday party and foot hall game. I shall have more to say to you from time to time. I want to earn a Christmas present this year. shall be in Baltimore in April as I see it now. God bless you. J. O. Midnight. ARE YOU A READER OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER?

No Place Established In New York For Dealing With Young Offenders Under Sixteen—Not a Case of Charity or Benevolence, but of Necessity, Says Judge Wilkin. An article in the New York Herald of Aug. 27, 1911, reads as follows: "Of the many institutions in the city there is none where colored girls under sixteen years of age may be received for care and restraint, and the judges in the children's court are greatly perplexed as to the proper disposition of the cases that come before them. Neither Catholic nor Protestant Negro children, it is said, are received by the institutions of their faith, and the only place where they can be looked after in the city is at the Children's society, which can only keep these girl offenders for a few weeks and then is obliged to return them to their homes for lack of suitable institutions to send them to. The State Training school will receive them, but the number of cottages set aside for Negro girls is always filled. "This matter, which is now under investigation, was brought up a short time ago when two Negro girls were convicted of petit larceny by Judge Wilkin in the children's court, and the judge found that there was no place to which he could commit them. The law prohibits the sending of children to fail. "Judge Wilkin is particularly interested in this matter, as he many times has occasion to sentence young Negro girls. He thinks such girls who are not committed to any institution contaminate other children. "The question is one which demands immediate attention." said Judge Wilkin. "It is not a case of charity or benevolence, but of necessity. There are many cases where these children positively need educational care, but until a place is founded for them we are at a standstill in regard to the administration of justice." "The Children's society is also interested in this question and will co-operate with any movement which will provide for relief." The following table indicates the disposition of thirty-nine cases of colored girls who were handled by the Brooklyn Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Children between June 1, 1910, and Aug. 15, 1911: Returned to their homes because of no institution to receive them...... Refused admittance to institutions upon application...... Committed to institutions and received. P. E. House of Mercy accepted.....2 Howard Orphan asylum accepted.....2 New York State Training school accepted.....2 Riverdale Orphan asylum (added after first report).....2 Total A footnote to the Brooklyn society's report says that all of the twenty-eight were returned to their homes after being committed because there was no institution to which to send them and that three of the others should have been committed. Adding to the twenty-eight these three, and four more out of the additional six since June 1, two of these having gone to hospitals, one sees therefore that there have been under the care of one organization from June 1, 1910, to Aug. 15, 1911, thirty-five girls who should have had institutional care, but who have instead been returned to homes of bad influence. Mr. H. C. Preston, superintendent of the Brooklyn S. P. C. C., said that the number thirty-nine represents about 50 per cent of the number that would probably come under their care if the workers knew there was any proper way of disposing of them. L. R. age fourteen years, was taken from a motherless home from which two brothers had been sent to state institutions for delinquents and in which was a shiftless and irresponsible father. After the girl had left her home she bired a room from an adult reprobate and began a life of prostitution. There was no private institution to which the girl could be sent, so she was placed in several private homes. in each of which she proved to be incorrigible and apparently unresponsive. In these homes she came in contact with younger children and, of course, shed an unwholesome influence over them. This child should have been taken to an institution for study and guidance when first found to be inclined toward a life of dishonor. (History of case on records). The following is a table showing the disposition of nineteen cases handled by the New York S. P. C. C. from June 1, 1910, to April 1, 1911: Admitted to any institution..... 4 Returned to their relatives..... 16 For whom private homes were found..... 2 Department of charities (mental deficiency)..... 1 Deported..... 1 Pending..... 1 Total..... 15 Of seventy-seven colored girls handled in the juvenile court for Manhattan and the Bronx from Dec. 1, 1900, to Feb. 28, 1910, forty-three were under fourteen years of age and thirty-three from fourteen to sixteen (one seventeen). Of the former forty-three only twenty-four were committed to insti- tutions, and or the latter thirty-three only fourteen were committed; Of the thirty-three girls from fourteen to sixteen, seventeen were charged with immorality. Of 147 Negro girls under sixteen passing through the courts of Greater New York during fifteen months, fifty-four were committed to institutions, eighty-eight paroled or discharged and five disposed of otherwise—that is, 30 percent of them were committed and about 50 per cent discharged. It is stated by officers of the children's court that the number of colored girls arrested would be twice as large if officers who arrest these girls knew that there was adequate means of disposing of them. Of the eleven homes for delinquent girls visited by an investigator only two or three expressed a willingness to receive any colored girls at all, and in these homes only two or three girls. There is no home established for the expressed purpose of dealing with colored girls which will handle delinquent cases. This is true of the Y. W. C. A., the White Rose home, the Working Girls' home and the New York colored mission. Girls and women under suspended sentences from the courts of general and special sessions therefore cannot get temporary lodging except at the municipal lodging house during the period that employment is being found for them. From Jan. 1, 1910, to Aug. 31, 1911, there were 362 Negro women in the Tombs. In the Raymond street jail in Brooklyn about 25 per cent of the women committed are colored. Of 212 cases of Negro women in the Jefferson Market court during the year ending December 31, 1910, sixty-nine were discharged, sixty-six fined, twenty-one bailed, two placed under suspended sentence, one paroled, two sent to the hospital, forty-four otherwise, disposed of and only forty-seven sent to the workhouse. There is no record of any of these cases, except the suspended sentence, the parole and the hospital cases, being followed up or aided in any way after final disposition of same by the court. In one case it was found that the same person had been to the court six times charged with disorderly conduct during the year. She was fined twice in succession, sent to the workhouse, then fined again, discharged the fifth time and finally sent to the workhouse. SERMON TO KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS IN BROOKLYN. Ben-Hur Lodge Holds Annual Thanksgiving Services at Concord. An interesting event in secret society circles in Brooklyn, week ending Nov. 16, was the annual thanksgiving services of Ben-Hur lodge. No. 19, Knights of Pythias. The services were held in the Concord Baptist church, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss. Members of the lodge, with members of the Court of Calanthe were out in large numbers in dress regalia, which added charm and beauty to their appearance as they marched with quick step and steady bearing into the church. The choir of the church, under the leadership of Professor P. Albert Myers, conceded to be the best in Brooklyn among Afro-Americans, discussed appropriate music, which was enjoyed by an audience of over 700 persons. The statement of the lodge for the information of the minister and the public was read by Thomas E. Scott, keeper of records and seals. Mr. Scott said that Ben-Hur lodge was founded by Sir Knight William H. McFarland, past grand chancellor of the state of New York and who now holds the position of master of finance. The lodge was organized by Grand Chancellor Richard E. Clark and is the youngest of the order in this section of New York. After citing brief bits of interesting history relating to how the Order of Knights of Pythias was founded and of the friendship which existed between Damon and Pythias, Mr. Scott gave the figures showing the amount of dues paid to a financial member when sick, the amount paid to the widow or heirs of a deceased member and the amount paid to a member in case he loses his wife or child. Dr. Moss' sermon was very encouraging. It dealt with the history and times in which Damon and Pythias lived and the benefits to be derived from true friendship. In the prelude to his sermon Dr. Moss took the opportunity to say that while he did not approve of the wild acts or Champion Jack, Johnson, he was just as much averse to the unjust treatment which Johnson is now receiving. A dog is entitled to fair treatment, said Dr. Moss. The audience showed its approval of the preacher's remarks by loud amens. Presbyterian Board's New Officers. The annual election of the women's home mission department of the Presbyterian board for work among colored people recently held resulted in the selection of the following maned persons for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. George T. Baity of Kansas City; vice president, Mrs. P. D. Fisher of Hannibal; corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. H. Van Dyke of Clinton; young people's secretary, Mrs. A. A. Elliott of St. Joseph, and recording secretary, Mrs. Austin Wolfe of Parkville, Mo. Women in Effort to Protect Youths. It is encouraging to note the interest which the women of Muskogee, Okla. are taking in movements for the protection of boys and girls from the undesirable influences of city life. Parents should give matters of this kind special attention. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER AFTER ELECTION ECHOES. Editorial and Personal Opinion From Various Sources. We give below extracts from race papers and individuals on the results of the recent presidential election as viewed by editors of Afro-American journals and the supporters of the different candidates for the presidency: SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson VIII.—Fourth Quarter For Nov. 24, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES The Progressive party is not dead by any means, and if any one thinks so he is very much mistaken. The Progressive party made a splendid fight, and if it can do so much in three months what will it do when it is three years old? Keep your eye skinned, for it is going to make somebody stand around.—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. The Progressives have made good. They annihilated the Republican party. Roosevelt said that he would "break up the gang," and it was no idle boast, because he knew that the people were with him.—Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star. The overwhelming defeat of the Republican party, both national and state, in Tuesday's election is accompanied by the wailing and gnashing of teeth on one hand and great rejoicing on the other. The utter rout of both the Republican and Progressive forces by the Democratic majorities is the culmination of one of the longest and most bitterly fought campaigns in the history of this country, starting in the past spring, when Colonel Roosevelt made the announcement that his hat was in the ring.—Central Afro-American, St. Louis. Most Negroes will look upon the election as a calamity so far as we, as a people, are concerned. Many there are who will look for a reversal of sentiment, if a reversal be possible, against the Negro and a wholesale butchery of the black man and his rights. The few Negroes who deserted the Republican party and cast lots with the Democrats will be looking for a change of patronage in and around Washington.—Pittsburgh Courier. I am especially pleased at the clear, concise and accurate grasp of the issues by young men of our race. They demonstrated on the stump and in the public press a familiarity with all the issues of the campaign, equal to the ablest white exponents of Democracy. This feature of the campaign was favorably commented on continuously during the campaign at the national Democratic headquarters. The election of Woodrow Wilson means the dawn of a new era to the Negroes of this country. Henceforth he may accelerate his footsteps in the army of progress more judiciously, steadily and confidently, consolons of the feeling that at the head of this great nation we have a man of honor and integrity. He has given his promise that the door of opportunity shall be open to him to make a living and that he will be secure in the protection of his person and property. I believe it will be his aim to give Negroes political status commensurate with their worth, ability and manhood.—Bishop Alexander Walters. President Elect Woodrow Wilson has promised that there will be nothing during his administration for the honest and enlightened business man of the country to fear. He has also promised, according to some of the Negro journals and men who espoused his cause for election, that the Negroes need not fear any bugbear legislation and that he was a friend to the race and favored its progress.—Advocate-Verdict, Harrisburg, Pa. OBERLIN MUSIC TEACHER TAKES PART IN RECITAL. Brilliant Interpretation of Classical Compositions by Mrs. Doolittle. Mrs. Maude T. Doolittle, one of the best known concert pianists on the teaching force of the Oberlin (O.) Conservatory of Music, showed her qualities as a true artist in her interpretation of an interesting program, made up of compositions by the modern classic composers, recently at Fisk university, Nashville, Teen. Her program also included compositions by Debussy and Faure of the modern French school. In the rendition of these selections the artist's well grounded technique drew from the large and enthusiastic audience of students, teachers and city visitors prolonged applause. Her program included: Buch-Liszt, fantasie in G minor; Brahms, ballade in G minor; Schumann, fantasiestuck op. 124, romance op. 32. No. 3 (Firefly); Taubert, suite op. 58. No. 2; Chopin, etudes op. 10. No. 1. op. 25. Nos. 5, 6, 12, scherzo B datt minor; Debussy, prelude A minor; Faure, impromptu op. 31. No. 2; Wagner-Liszt, spinning song; Liszt, rhapsodie No. 12. A bequest of $1,000, left by Mrs. Caroline S. Martin of Dover. N. H. was recently received by the treasurer of the university. This bequest will become a part of the endowment. The institution has done a great work of uplift in the past by sending out trained teachers among the people in various sections. They easily become leaders of thought and industry. Loendi Club Holds Big Celebration. The well known Loendi club of Pittsburgh observed its fifteenth anniversary with an elaborate literary and musical program, followed by a big banquet, on Friday evening, Nov. 15, at the clubrooms, of the organization. Mr. George W. Elliott was the chairman of the committee in charge of the arrangements for the celebration. Lesson VIII.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 24, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson. Mark ix, 1-13. Memory Verses, 9, 10—Golden Text, Luke ix, 35 (R. V.)—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson, like the last, is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well as by Mark. It was the one occasion on which the glory which was always in Him was allowed to shine through in this particular way. In the tabernacle and in the temple the glory of God was always in the holy of holies above the mercy seat, between the cherubim, but the veil concealed it—the veil which was rent in twain from the top to the bottom in the midst when He died and which, we are told in Heb. x, 20, represented His flesh or body. John says that "the word was, made flesh and tabernacled among us, and we beheld His glory." As he makes no record of the transfiguration, possibly he refers to it in this saying, as well as to His whole life on earth. Peter undoubtedly refers to the transfiguration when he says, "We made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and were eyewitnesses of His majesty," for he mentions the holy mount and the words from the Father (John 1: 14; 11 Pet. i. 16-18). In connection with the coming of Christ in glory which He mentioned in last week's lesson He said that some of those who stood there would not taste of death till they had seen the kingdom of God come with power or the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. Then after six intervening days, or, as Luke says, about eight days, He took Peter and James and John into a high mountain, apart by themselves, and as He prayed He was transfigured before them. It seems to me that the wonder was not that the glory now shone through the veil of His flesh, but that it was always there, yet concealed. But it was, as to His whole life, the time of His appearing as one to us, sin excepted (Feb. ii. 14). His face did shine as the sun, and His mement was white and glistening, shining, white as the light, white as snow. When Moses came down from the mount the skin of his face shone so that he had to wear a veil while he talked with the people (Ex. xxxiv, 29:35). That must have been reflected light. He did not wear the veil when he went in to talk with the Lord and possibly only after he had done talking with the people. Stephen's face seems to have reflected something of the same light (Acts vi. 15). How wonderful the statements concerning us in Matt. xlii, 42; I John iii. 2. Consider for a little these two men from heaven who are talking with Jesus and whom the three favored disciples saw and seemed to know, for Peter mentions them by name. It was over 1,400 years since Moses died and was buried on Mount Nebo (Deut. xxxiv) and perhaps 900 years since Elijah was taken from the side of Elisha on the east of Jordan by a whirlwind and horses and charlot of fire (11 Kings ii), yet here they are, alive and well and recognized, as no doubt we shall know all in the glory without introductions. They talked with Jesus about His decease, which He should accomplish at Jerusalem (Luke ix. 31). By virtue of that atoning death they and all the redeemed from Abel onward had enjoyed centuries of bliss, as it were, on a promissory note now about to be paid. None are in glory nor ever can be except by virtue of that precious blood in due time shed on Golgotha. It is the blood that makehst atonement, and without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins (Lev. xvll, 11; Heb. ix. 22). The disciples were heavy with sleep (Luke ix. 32), and so it was also in Galbsemane. Are we not all in a measure asleep to the great things of God? How often we talk as foolishly as Peter, who suggested the three tabernacles, not knowing what to say. That is a good word for us, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give the light" (Eph. ii. 14). As Peter spoke a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Heurey Him." And they saw no man any more save Jesus only with themselves (verses 7, 8: Matt. xxvii. 5-8). To Him give all the prophets witness, and so it must be Jesus only. The Lord alone shall be exalted. See now the kingdom in miniature—the Lord Jesus glorified and with Him the risen saints represented by Moses and the translated saints represented by Judaism. The three disciples may represent all Israel made righteous and the multitude at the foot of the hill the people to be blessed when the kingdom comes. Blessed are all who see the glory of His kingdom, endeavor now to walk worthy of it and live to hasten it. As they came down from the mount He charged them to tell no one of the wonders they had seen fill the Son of Man should be risen from the dead, but just what that saying meant not one of them could tell (verse 10), for they did not believe that He was to die. They remembered some of the last words of Malachi concerning Elijah and spoke of them, and Jesus indorsed them and said that they would surely be fulfilled, but that there had been already a fulfillment in John the Baptist. There are fully twenty thousand people who read the Afro-American Ledger every week. Twenty thousand people who believe in supporting race enterprises whenever they have the opportunity.

Why Not Advertise In The Afro-American And Get Results ```markdown ``` Organize Club Here Plans are underway to organize a Colored Democratic Club and its headquarters will be located right in the heart of the Seventeenth ward, according to well known colored man who worked for the election of Woodrow Wilson. He says that there are 50 men already enrolled, and that the club expects to have 250 in line for the inauguration. An effort will be made to build up the organization with men from every ward in the city. These interested in the formation of the organization are trying to secure a commodious building in the Seventeenth ward and say that they will start the only political club with building of its own among the colored people of Baltimore. It is said that the plan to have a Democratic Negro organization has met with the approval of men in the councils of the Democratic party. Death of Thomas D. Shelton Mr. Thomas D.
