THE AFFAIR AMERICAN LEDGER REVIVING THE ABOLITION SPIRIT OSWALD GARRISON TAKING UP FIGHT FOR THE NEW FREEDOM OF THE NEGRO White Politicians Keeping Alive Race Prejudice In Order To Keep In Office. Nine Mlllion Colored People Interested In The Present Fight In Maryland Against Segregation—The Question National in its Scope And Affects VOL. XXII NO. 9 REVIVING THE A OSWALD GARRISON TAKIN NEW FREEDOM White Politicians Keeping Al To Keep I Nine Mlllion Colored People Fight In Maryland Against tion National in its The Entire A white woman forgetting the off-repeated charge of danger at the hands of colored men and pleading for the rights of the race, the grandson of a famous abolitionist advocating freedom for all and a Hebrew making a plea for cooperation in the fight against caste was the imposing spectacle that greeted 1,500 persons who attended a large mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday night. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the speakers are among the many that are actively identified with its work. They were Miss Mary White Gwintgon, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, and Dr. J. E. Spingarn. As Miss Mary White Ovington the first speaker, spoke of the work that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is doing, she was listened to with rapt attention. She declared that while politicians endeavored to keep alive race prejudice by making white women afraid of colored people, the white women should not needlessly be charged with race prejudice. She said that she hoped to see the day when all, white and colored, would meet on a plane of mutual respect in dealing with matters of common interest. Dr. J. E. Spingarn made a plea for cooperation in the fight against racial prejudice. "The colored people of this country," he said, "represent one tenth of the population of this country. If you represented one tenth of the voting population you would not be subjected to these humiliations. In your fight here against segregation 9,000,000 colored people are interested. They are watching to see how you come out. If you win you will fill them with high hope and encouragement." Speaking of segregation, he then said that it had been the history of all large cities that the population shifted, but that Baltimore was the first city to attempt legislation against alleged depreciation in property values. He declared that segregation measures were only attempted in order to arrest the wonderful progress that the race has been making. In introducing Mr. Villard, Warner T. McGuinn who presided, paid a fine tribute to the former's grandfather—William Lloyd Garrison. He spoke of the hatred that Garrison had for the institution of slavery, of his imprisonment here for criticising the shipment of a cargo of slaves to New Orleans, as well as other events in the life of the famous abolitionist. Chairman McGuinn then declared that Mr. Villard is "scarcely less distinguished than his illustrious ancestor, the fire of true abolitionism burns and glows upon the altar of his heart." Mr. Villard delivered the principal address of the evening, dealing mainly with segregation in the national government as well as by ordinance in Baltimore and other cities. His address was carefully BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1913. prepared, and in only two instances did he digress. One was when he was criticising the segregation policy of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and characterized the Secretary as his personal friend and the other was when he advised the Negro to make only a peaceful rebellion against rebellion, as did Garrison. During the course of his address, Mr. Villard scored segregation in the departments at Washington, declared that President Wilson's seeming agniescence in this policy 'has most wrongly and needlessly antagonized one-ninth of the population of this country and its white sympathizers' and the Republican party had been given the opportunity through discrimination to again return to power. At the outset of his address Mr. Villard declared that he was in Baltimore to protest against the third segregation ordinance which he characterized as "unworkable, economically impossible and indefensible and hound, if attempted, to decrease and not increase race natred and friction. It is," he went on to say," contrary to the spirit of the Constitution of the United States, and, beyond all doubt, to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. Finally, it is another step in the persistent effort to create two unequal classes within this republic—the advantaged and the disadvantaged—totally unmindful of the fact that history established but fifty years ago by the blood of thousands that this nation cannot exist "half slave and half free." After stating that everywhere in Europe, except Russia, ghettoes had been abolished, Mr. Villard continued: "At home here in Baltimore the chief motive behind segregation is the desire to prevent the depreciation of real estate by sales to colored people; but the old argument that it is really necessary to preserve the purity of the Anglo-Saxon race is also trotted out. This purity of the Anglo-Saxon race is greater than charity since it is made to cover a multitude of sins—rape, murder, theft and the prostitution of the black women by whites. Injustice and oppression stalk behind it and rejoice in the effectiveness of its bogis. "If the Russian 'Black Hundred's are without this excuse for wrong-doing, they have never, it must be said in fairness, sunk so low as to make the question of rents or of land an ecuse for degrading those whom they would oppress. What could be more selfish and more ignoble than to make the progress of a race upward depend upon the price of land? Were the colored people so fortunate as to increase the price of land, would there be any talk of segregation? No, there would be as great a demand for colored tenants as there is for colored labor in the South to make money for their white rulers, and nothing would be heard of separation ordinances to keep the peace. Our old friend Race Purity would be permitted to remain in HE WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK LOOSE AND REACH THE TOP TEMPLE OF HIGHER INTELLIGENCE PIT OF IGNORANCE MOB RULE-SEGREGATION the background for another more suitable opportunity to play the stalking horse." Taking up the question of segregation in the departments at Washington he said that "the adoption of this policy was merely an expression of the innate prejudice of the Southern portion of the administration, the President and certain members of his Cabinet. At the outset of his career as President." Mr. Villard went on to say, "Dr. Wilson, has from a politician's point of view, most wrongly and needlessly antagonized one-ninth of the population of this country and their white sympathizers. And he may go down in history as the man who put in motion terri- Masons of High Degree Elect Officers (Special to the Afro-American Ledger) Washington, October 23—The ninth triennial session of the Supreme Council of the Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the thirty-third and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free masonry, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States and Phillipine Islands, was held at Masonic Temple this week. The session practically opened with a sermon by Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Sunday night. The social features included a military reception at Odd Fellows' Hall Monday night. Promising Outlook For Lincoln University, Oct. 22 Football at Lincoln is beginning to take on an encouraging aspect to all followers of the orange and blue It has been many years since there has been such smoothly working aggregation of players as seen on Rendall Field as there are today. Coach Pollard of Dartmouth and an old master in the science of football is expending every possible effort to develop the best colored team in the East and he is well on the road to success. There is some splendid material for development among the Freshmen. They are delivering the goods in a way that is surely encouraging. Many of the "old guard" are back on the job and are doing good work. Captian Thomas, a veteran of three seasons is leading his team this year. Heretofore Lincoln has had one team, but this year she has three evenly matched teams. On Saturday, October 25th, the initial game of the season will take place, when the ex-collegiates, a team composed of the aluminae of the big colored colleges, will pay their annual visit. Saturday, November 8th, Lincoln will meet the strong Hampton team on Lincoln's campus. This game will be the chief attraction on the and it home grounds this season will no doubt be a big affair both from a social and atheletic standpoint. DR. GEC. W. BUCKNER New York, October 24—Dr. George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., the newly appointed United States minister and consul general at Monrovia. Liberia, sailed for his post yesterday afternoon. He was not accompanied by his wife and children. Pastor Of Bethel To Be Annouced Shortly Within the next few days Bishop Levi J. Coppin will probably announce the successor to the late Rev. R. William Fickland as pastor at Bethel A. M. E. Church. The charge is one of the hardest in the country, and though a number of men are aspirants for it the bishop is exercising caution. It is most likely that it will be a minister of the Baltimore Conference. Among those who have been mentioned for the place are Revs. I. N. Ross, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington; L. S. Flagg, of St. John's Church; C. H. Stepteau. and L. M. Beckett. Bishop Coppin will preach at the church Sunday morning and may announce the appointment during the day. Washington, D.C., Oct. 23d. Congress may yet have a big debate on the segregation issue, as only Thursday of last week Representative Rogers of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution calling for an inquiry. PRICE THREE CENTS D REACH THE TOP TEMPLE OF HIGHER INTELLIGENCE here with him—Booker Washington Masons of High Degree Elect Officers (Special to the Afro-American Ledger) Washington, October 23—The ninth triennial session of the Supreme Council of the Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the thirty-third and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free masonry, for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States and Phillipine Islands, was held at Masonic Temple this week.

Cardoza, president of the local branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, received a letter from Secretary Tumulty in which he said that the protest against segregation which had been sent from this city would be brought to the attention of the President. The Signs Are Not There But The Spirit Is Doing What The Signs Were Intended To Do PRESIDENT SEEMS NOT DIS-TURBED OVER MATTER A Violation Is Likely At Anytime To Bring About A Dismissal (Washington, October 24.—Segregation is the lot that colored employees suffer in nearly every department of the government here. There is a distinct line marked for the colored employees in some of the departments and woe unto him who goes beyond the "jim crow" mark. Though the signs are down in the Treasury Building designating what rest rooms colored people are to use, there is one toilet set aside in the basement for the use of colored help, and none had better dare go into the toilets set aside for whites. The whites have at least one toilet on each floor, and sometimes you will find some of the white help sliding into the lone one in the basement designated for colored people. Conditions for the many colored women who work in the Bureau of Engraving are said to be especially galling. The white women are said to have a nice room in which to eat their lunches while no such provision is made for the colored. If a colored woman were to use one of the wash bowls set aside for whites there is a prevalent belief that she would be summarily dismissed. Discriminations in the Post Office Department began during the Taft regime, but they increased during the few months that the South has been in the saddle. It should be remembered that during the Taft regime the order was carried out that no colored census enumerator should be allowed to take the names of white people. The attitude of President Wilson regarding segregation is a mystery. His anti-election promises of fair play made a number of colored men ardently support his candidacy. Some of his advisers are the bitter enemies of the Negro who would aspire. These men owe their political prominence to the sole fact that their respective States have robbed the Negro of his franchise. One is said to have declared that the attitude of the present administration would be exactly as that of large corporations in that only menial jobs would be allowed colored men. DISCHARGING OLORED MEN From the South comes the report that colored men holding civil service positions are in jeopardy. In Georgia five colored railway clerks are said to have been dismissed without trial. Blalock, the new internal revenue collector at Atlanta, has let loose the colored deputies. Reports of similar happenings in other States have also come here. TO MAKE PROTEST The mater of segregation is believed to be most serious for the race in all parts of the country. Right here since segregation has been in vogue in the departments there have been complaints of discourteous treatment in stores and other places. There is a quiet movement on foot to have the Democratic Congress pass a segregation similar to the Baltimore measure. Separate cars and other proscriptions are also talked of. DR.E.W.BLYDEN'S GREAT CAREER HOW HE ROSE TO FAME. Former Secretary of State of Liberia Was a Potent Factor In Our Racial Life—Man of Wonderful Intellect Whose Moral Courage Was Sublime Under the Most Trying Ordeals. By JOHN E. BRUCE. At this time, when the colored race in America is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation which legally freed the race from the curse of human slavery as goods and chattels, it is quite in keeping with the spirit of the times to give to the American people the record of colored men and women who have achieved success. Although not a native American, Edward Wilmot Blydon was intimately associated with the struggles and aspirations of the colored race in America and other parts of the world during his whole life. Born in the Danish island of St. Thomas seventy-nine years ago, the late Edward Wilmot Hylden came to the United States when seventeen years of age to seek an education, but, finding prejudice against his race, he turned his face toward Liberia, where, after a few months' residence, he entered the high school under the care of Rev. David Wilson. He soon rose to the headship of this school and in 1862 was elected to a professorship in the newly founded Liberian college. In 1864 he was appointed secretary of state by the president of Liberia, and for two years he combined the duties of both offices. In 1860 he made a journey to the east, visiting Egypt and Syria chiefly with a view to studying Arabic. In 1871 he resigned his professorship, and after a brief visit to Europe he spent two years in Sierra Leone, during which time he was sent by the governor of the colony, Sir John Pope Hennessy; on two diplomatic missions to the powerful chiefs of the interior. His report on one of these expeditions is published at length in the proceedings of the Royal Geographical society. In 1877 he was made minister plenipotentiary of the republic of Liberia at the court of St. James and was received by Queen Victoria at Osborne July 30, 1878, being introduced by the Marquis of Salisbury, then secretary of state for foreign affairs. He was soon after elected an honorary member of the famous Athenaeum club London. In 1880 he was elected fellow of the American Philological association. In 1882 he was made a corresponding member of the Society of Sciences and Letters of Bengal. He knew personally Lord Brongham, W. E. Gladstone, Dean Stanley, Charles Dickens and Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass and Frederic Harrison. When the question of the delimitation of the Liberian boundary was raised by France some eight or nine years ago he was appointed by the government of Liberia as ambassador to France to negotiate with the French government in the settlement of that question and was received by the president of France July 4, 1905, in his office as ambassador of the black republic. In 1911 he was elected a corresponding member of the Negro Society for Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y., in recognition of which he sent a collection of his published works, "Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race." "Africa Before Europe," "Liberia's Offering" and pamphlets on kindred subjects. At the time of his death he was an associate editor of the African Mail, published at Liverpool. Some years ago Dr. J. E. Henderson in an article in the Colored American at Washington said: "Dr. Blyden is a man without a country. He allies himself neither with the Negro of Africa nor the Afro-American." Commenting on this brilliant outburst in a letter to the writer, he said: "Now, this is absurd. It is not what a man allies himself with, but what he really is, that counts. Dr. Henderson allies himself with the Negro race, but only because he is not allowed to ally himself with the white race. But his alliance with the Negro race does not make him a Negro. "On the other hand, Dr. Blyden's country is Africa by race and heritage, whatever he pleases to ally himself with. Nobody who has ever seen him will think that he can pass for Indian or European. As soon as he is seen he is known at once as an African-identified on sight. It would require only the microscopic insight of the south to identify Dr. Headerson at sight." Writing from Paris under date of Aug. 19, 1905, he, among other things, wrote: "But why should the cause of the Negro he discredited in America? What has he done to deserve such treatment? What has he not done to merit better? It is consolatory of know that all the greatest minds who have ever lived in America and now live there (I say the greatest minds) have given him and do give him the credit he deserves, but they are comparatively few. These few, however, know that the Negro was at the bottom of the civilization of the southern states. This is obvious at the first, the most superficial glance at his history there. Afrize furished the men without whom the vast industrial and agricultural work in the early days would have been impossible. "But the so called dark continent also furnished the women without whom the still more important work of producing the physically and intellectually strong men could not have been accomplished. The greatest statesmen whom the United States have produced were produced in the south, men who chiefly governed the country until the great civil war—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Meyeroe and all that followed, including Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun and Hobert E. Lee. These men all had black nurses, and to this day in the south the traditions of the aunties linger as among the most cherished memories of the aristocratic families. "But since the black auntie has disappeared from her post in the great families and has ceased to preside at the cradle and in the nursery of the south no such men have appeared as distinguished the history of that country before the late unpleasantness. The secret of this deficiency is known to the African. "In geography Africa has been called Arida, Nutrix Leonum—the dry nurse of lions." "So in the early political history of the United States the same description is applicable to the 'gray haired mother of civilization.' Lions in church and state were born out of her struggles and sufferings." In a letter just at hand from Dr. Majola Agdebi, written at Dooland, in the interior of the west coast, he writes; "Dr. Blyden and myself had a touching conference on the steamship Akako on Nov. 19 last. He spoke to me as a father to his son and communicated to me certain thoughts. He was then very poorly from aneurism and was taking a round trip for his health. He then remarked to me that he was living by the day, but before we parted he was brightening up, though one of his eyes has grown dim. He will be eighty years of age on Aug. 3 of this year." Edward Wilmot Blyden was a potent factor in our racial life. There can be no question that his death has left a vacancy which cannot be easily filled. He was a great man, a great scholar, a great Negro, and our African cousins will feel more keenly perhaps than we his loss. He had triple courage, which imparted to him immense strength. His physical bravery knew no fear, his moral heroism was sublime, but above all these was the courage of his great intellect. GOOD NEWS FROM LIBERIA. West African Republic Receives Liberal Financial Aid For Schools. Monrovia, Liberia.—All Liberia is rejoicing over the good news that the American Colonization society has turned over to Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian representative in the United States, $65,511.11, to be used for public and industrial education in the little West African republic. President Howard, members of the cabinet, Commissioner of Education Payne and other prominent personages are loud in [Name] DR. ERNEST LYON. their praises of the interest of the society, as well as the success of Dr. Lyon's efforts. The money turned over will be a great aid to Liberia in its efforts to provide adequate educational facilities. Added to this benefit will be the annual interest of several thousand dollars coming from the Caroline Donvan fund, of which the big sum turned over to Dr. Lyon represents the accrued interest. Dr. Lyon's residence in America is at Baltimore. There is a government college in this city, one supported by the M. E. church, and a number of denominational schools in the interior. The government also supports a number of schools in the interior, but there is a general feeling that the educational facilities should be increased. Dr. Lyon probably knows more about Liberian needs and conditions than any man in America, having served nearly eight years as the American minister and consul general to this country. His knowledge of conditions here was evidenced in his frequent reports to the state department at Washington and in his successful efforts in having a commission sent from the United States in 1900 to study conditions at first hand. Importance of Literary Societies. The reopening of literary organizations and the starting of new debating societies in the various sections of the country this fall are indications of a desire among the people for advancement. The discussion of topics with which individuals have to deal in connection with business, education, religion and morals is always helpful. THE AFRO-AMERICA LEDGER PERSONNEL OF TRUSTEES Third Anniversary of the Pastorate of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss Occasion For Special Effort to Increase Amount of Building Fund—Features of Work. Brooklyn.—The celebration of the third anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of the Concord Baptist church in this city, Sunday, Oct. 19, was attended by great throngs of people from most all sections of Greater New York. Overflow services were held in the church in the morning, afternoon and evening. The pastor preached two eloquent and scholarly sermons besides delivering a most timely address to the Sunday school. As a forerunner of the main celebration the officials and members of the church decided several months ago to observe Sunday, Oct. 12, as financial rally day and subsequently opened sub- ROBERT LEE WILLIAMS. scription books for plodges toward the building fund for the proposed new church edifice for which plans and specifications have already been drawn, submitted and accepted. The day's services were ushered in with a praise meeting in the morning, followed by a special sermon and the rally day exercises of the Sunday school in the afternoon. The climax of interest came at 7:30 in the evening when reports were heard on the result of the subscription campaign which amounted to $236. The grand total for the day from all sources was $1,155.43. Of this amount the Sunday school contributed $0.18 and the board of ushers $50. There were several large gifts by individual members and friends. Dr. Moss' labors during the year have covered many interests in and out of his own field. He has made hundreds of visits, delivered many special sermons and addresses. With the co-operation of the members and officials he has shown both the need and possibilities of having a larger meeting house to accommodate the rapidly increasing membership in both church and Sunday school. The board of trustees, nine in number, is composed of men of excellent judgment in the management of church affairs, some of whom have served on the board for nearly thirty years. Lewis II. Berry, chairman of the board, is one of the best known men in the membership. He is a fine specimen of true Christian manhood and a church financier of long years of experience. He is a liberal contributor and exerts a wholesome influence in all departments of the church. His activities cover a period of over thirty years. Graham H. Carter, secretary of the board, has held that position for more than twenty-five years. It is largely due to his accuracy that the church has enjoyed a continuous reign of peace in relation to its finances. Thomas P. Mosley, treasurer of the church, knows more about the banking business than the average person generally found holding such a responsible position in churches or secular organizations. He readers monthly reports of receipts and disbursements to the church at its regular meeting for business. Mr. Robert Lee Williams, collector of church dues, has served in that capacity for nearly a score of years. He is faithful to the task assigned to him and is never absent when it is possible for him to be present. He taught the men's class in the Sunday school up to two years ago, serving in all about eighteen years. He is a native of Farmville, Va., but has resided north for over twenty-five years. He came here from Binghamton, N. Y. The other members of the board are also men of ripe business experience. They are Charles J. Crowder, Matthew B. Tussell, Alfred R. Nash, Charles H. Vann and Edward L. Fainton. Each member of the board keeps a personal account of all money received and knows of all dischargements. George F. King Makos Northern'Tour George F. King, the well known newspaper correspondent of Wilson, N.C. is making a brief trip north business in connection with his work. While in New York he will attend the emancipation expedition, which encapsulated suspiciously on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

Stick a pin here. We have simply got to stand by our guns until the fight is over, no matter how long it takes to get it over and done with. ‘Phe colored people of this city must not get it into their heads that the segregation matter is settled. It is not settled, and by ‘the help of God and our good white friends, it will not be settled until it is settled right. - We propose to keep up the fight if it takes all summer and winter too for that matter: “That was a great meeting at Bethel Church last Monday night. The fact that this great edifice was crowded to the dours was evidence that something more than usual was in the air, We must have more of these meetings in every section of the country... The people, white and black must be aroused to doing the things which are right. The question is one-that now con- cerns this whole country, and is by no means local. It is touching every point, it has now become a national one, and the Southern Bourbon has made it so. ““Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.’”* *SWere the issues which brought on the Civil War settied or not? From the present attitude of the Democratic party,. now in power, and almost entirely dominated by the Southern element of that party, it seems. as if they were not. Will these issues have to he fought over again, and if so by whom? Is it possible ‘for ten millions of people to live among eighty other millions and become nothing more than serfs? Especially in this modern twentieth century civilization? These are questions qhich coficern the white-people of this country as much as it concerns the colored people, for in the lan: guage ‘of. Dr. Booker T.. Wasbing- ton, ‘‘No man can keep another ‘down in the ditch unless he stays there with him.” . If it is the intention of the white people to keep the colored man down; to deprive him of his Ged given rights, then he must stay down in the ditch in order to keep him there, If he is constantly’go- ing to practice represssion and wrong, then he must stultify his own manhood and that of his race to keep it up. ‘Some one has said “asa man thinketh so he is.” ‘Then if this be true, if the white man is going to keep up the prac- tice of defying his own laws and the laws of God, then there must ecme to him in the long run the punishment that comes to all who wilfully disregard that which is right and just in dealing with all men. When asked: ‘‘Who is my peigh- bor?” The Master gave a concrete example of the Good Smaritan, and incidently had a word to say in reference to neighborly conduet. Is it neighborly to take any man’s rights away from him because one has the power and might to do so? It is not, and those who practice it will in the end find, that while the mills of the Gods grind slowly they do grind exceed- ingly fine, and nothing eseapes, tho sometimes it is a long time in get- ting to the mill. Nothing is ever settled until it is settled right, and if this great country is to be dominated from one. end of it to the other hy reactionaries, it will find in the course of time that it will be called upon to pay the full price for its folly. AN INCIDENT WHICH EXPLAINS. Colored people, generally, are in- terested in the matter of Negro Bishops in.the Episcopal Church, They ‘are interested in everything lovking to the elevation of the race. ‘The colored men in the Episcopal Church who have been forwarding the Negro Bishop movemert are not generally understood, ‘They do not seek to disturb present relations whereby colored and white share in the same convention. In fact, they are not asking for ‘‘Negro Bishops.’ What they ere’ trying to do, is just this. They seek to amend the present Constitution of General Convention, so that the House of Bishops may have power, upon the request of two or more Bishops, and. their diocesan con- ventions, to constitute such terri- tory as a ‘‘racial district’? and place over such territory aNegto Bishop. The present effort is sim- ply ta have the law amended so that the thing can be done. Something which happened 35 years ago will clearly explain the necessity and importance of the present matter. In the county of Brunswick, Vir- ginia, a devoted white woman, a Mrs, Buford, had, by her example, labored su successfully among the colored people of that and the‘ad- joining county, that an entire colored denomination, then in Un- jon Apostolic Church with one Bishop, 20 preachers, and over two thousand communicants, knocked at the doors of the Episcopal Church in Virginia and asked to be receiv- ed, as a body, into communion with that church. The Virginia convention tried to persuade the General Conventicn to permit an organization, with a Negro Bishop, for that State. The House of Bis- hops took the ground that it could not ‘‘rrovide special organizations for various classes of persons in the one family of God.’’ And, thus, the opportunity was lost. ‘The theory of the House of Bis- hops is alright, but there exists a condition of affairs ingthe;Southern States which must be faced. The theory of the House of Bishops is not workable in the South. Thus jt is, that those who stand firmly by this theory, and, on the other hand, that small section of Souther- ners who believe that the ‘‘Epis- copate’’ is too good a thing for the Negro, to have, unite in pre venting a realisation for Mission: acy Districts, with Negro Bishops. Consciously, or unconsciously, they also unite to prevent their churc from exercising a commanding in- fluence for good in the life and pro gress of Negro people, The race leaders, in all'of our other churches, need the covpera tion avd help of just such men a: would, very likely be Bishops ir the Episecpal Church, did its canor jaw permit. Through such, as ix no other way possible, could th |fullness of the power and good wil lof white Episcopalians’ be brough' [helpfully to bear npon the grea ‘problem of race-amelioration. Seldom in the past has the politi- cal situation in Maryland presented such confusion with respect to the safest. course for. colored “men to pursue. What was once the, Grand Old Party so far 2s Margland is concerned, is a thing of the past. In fact, neither one of the political parties offer any good and substan- Lead yeasons why colored men should THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER vote for its candidates, All of ‘them deal in the usual generalities, but when it comes to the question of human rights and civil liberty, whatever may be in their plat- forms, we know that it spells only of the white man. Inasmuch as all intelligent and thoughtful men ‘of the race are called. upon, prac- tically, to make their own ticket, ‘by’ a wise and judicious selection, ‘whether we vote for men on the so called Republican ticket, or on the Progressive ticket, we should ever keep in mind, that on both sides are men who can not be counted upon to do the square thing by colored citizens, and unless there be no other available materval of known quality we could hardly be excused in voting for absolutely unreliable men simply because they are on a certain ticket. Especially is it important with respect to the men voted for members of the State Legislature.’ We admit freely that it isa difficult proposition, but that is all the more why we should use the utmost care in casting our bal- lots The best advice we can give jg for each one to carry his con- science in the matter, and vote for the men he has reason to believe will more surely stand for rightous- Le and fair dealing, on behalf of all the citizens of the state. REVWING The ABOLITION: SPIRIT Continued from page 1 ~ ble forces for evil without adequate conception or prevision of the dangers he was inviting.’” Mr. Villard declared that he had known President Wilson for the past twenty years and that he had supported him for the Presidency, but that ‘‘nowhere do we find that his democracy is not limited both by the sex line.and the color line. He is far behind the times in kis steadfast opposition to woman suffrage. He fails utterly to see that to discriminate in his demo- cracy against anyove is to bring his whole carefully reared edifice tothe ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests must apply to everybody without dis- crimination, exactly as a law or sejence.”” : He paid his respects to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo for his alleged part in segregation at Washington and declared that after he has retired from office ‘‘the inischief of segregation will go on unceasingly’’ and that ‘‘the divi- sion of Register of the Treasury will speedily be known as the ‘nig- ger division.’ ‘*] shall lose no opportunity'’ he coneladed,‘* to preach the doctrine of peaceful rebellion and revolution against discriminatin of any kind, whether it be against Jew or Chritsian, colored or white, Chinese or Japanese. I am all the more strengthened to make my protest now because of the fact that through voice and pen I have long been an ardent supporter and champion of President Wilson; when president of Princeton I fought on his side in his battles at Princeton University, - when he was in Trenton and in the presi- dential campaign which resulled in his election, J voted for him. All the greater responsibility is upon me, I take it, to use my influence with the administration t. set it right when it goes wrong—when it allies itself with the forces of re- action, when it wittingly or unwitt- ingly puits itself on the side of every torturer of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injus- tice in the South or North. If that be treason make the most of it.”” A big audience is expected to hear Oswald Garrison Villard and Rey. John Haynes Holmes and others attack segregation in the departments at a massmeeting which will be held in Metropolitan A, M.°E. Church, Washington, his Monday night. PROTEST TO PRESIDENT. Upon motion of W. Ashbie Haw- kins, strong resolutions. protesting President Wilson against segrega- tion in the government departments at Washington were unanimously adopted. A copy of the resolv- tions was immediately telegraphed the President. . Following: the speechmaking, 2 collection of nearly two hundred dollars was taken to aid the work here, A large number of subscrip tions were also taken, .

In this city, the concert will be held at Albaugh’s Theater on November 5th, The Boston Symphony Orches- tra has filled Carnegie Hall, in New York ‘‘comfortably’’ but the Clef Club ‘‘jammed’’ it and maay were turned away. Miss Natalie Curtis, in the March issue of the Craftsman, speaks of the Carnegie Hall concert, which was given in behalf of the Musie Schoot Settle- ment for Colored People, by the Clef Club, as follows: . “Jt was an astonishing sight, that Negro orchestra (a sort of American Balalaika) that filled the entire stage with banjos, mandolins violins, violas, celli, double basses, here and there a wind instrument, some drums, eloquent in syncopa- tion, and a sonorous background of ten upright’ pianos, corresponding in efficiency to the cymballo of the Hungarian band.. Furope, the conductor, lifted his baton and the orchestra began (with an accuracy of attack that many a greater band might envy) a stirring march by the leader. It was the '‘Pied Pi- per’? again, for as one looked through the audience, one: saw heads swaying and feet tapping to the incisive rhythm; and when the march neared the end, the whole band burst out singing was well as playing, the novelty of this climax—a bovelty to the whites, at least—bruught forth a storm of tunultous applause. After that, the audience sat back with a broad smile of enjoyment.’’ Speaking further, she mentions the fact that “two-thirds of them could not read 4 note when they first joined the organization. They have “‘picked up’! the ability to play an instru- ment, and, like the Hungarians and Gypsies, when they caught the melody, they were quick to catch by ear their own orchestral parts also, or even to fill in or improvise the harmonies,—but always subject to the criticism of the conductor who corrects and drills his musi- cians carefully at rehearsals. These Negro players who sing also, think nothing of playing a bass part and singing teuor at the same time or of playing alto and singing bass! Yet these are men with only odd hours for practice.” ‘The concert at Carnegie Hall was indeed worthy of a first night at the Metropolitan Opera House. It is the one purpose and ambition of the Clef Club to dignify the place ot the colored musician in the musical world, and to preserve, encourage, and develop, along vatural lines, the real racial ex- pression of the Negro in Music. Abovt two hunred and fifty years ago, when the slave landed on the shores of America, with tribal music of his father fresh in his memory, he doubtless heard the tom toms of the Indians of the South, as well as the hymns and ballads of his masters, all of which helped materially towards the ad- vent of the religious slave songs and plantation melodies, which are fast being lost to the memory of the present generation. This music so full of pathos, religious devotior and emotional power on the one hand, and on the-other, so over: flowing with humor and irresistable spirit, is the heritage of the Negrc composer of today. “Harry T. Bur. Jeigh, Will Marion Cook, and J Rosamond Johnson, are among the few writers of the race who have had the imagination to feel and se« this. Burleigh’s ‘A Jubilee’? an “Qn Bended Knee’? are remark Jable; and in Cook's “Exhortation’ —a baritone solo with chorus, on can almost see the darky deacon o | the old days in the South, surround ed by his flock who made devou tresponse to his words. The ‘‘ex and: othérs tel} us when and wher not to expect rain, is decidedly picturesque. “When the frog’s done changed his yaller vest, ‘An’ in his brown snit now he is dressed, Mo’, rain, and still mo’ rain‘ When you notice de air it stan’s stock still An’ de blackbird’s voice it zits so awful sbrill Dat am de time fo’ rain!’’ ‘The. few gestures of the soloists who rise up, one .by one from different parts of thé orchestra and each sing a verse, gives such a de- licious touch of realty to the sup- posed contrasting signs of rain and of clear weather, that at the con- ‘clusion the listener feels quite sure with ‘‘Mr. Simmons’’ that ‘‘dere ainta gwine ter be no rain ter day.’’ ‘The above mentioned songs with “Swing Along,’” also by Gook, are featured by- the Clef Civ’ in their concert, along with several of the classics and tango tunes of today, seasoned here and there with a dash of that syncopated harmony—ragtime, So we are brought down from the time of the origin of the Negro folk song, te the time of S. Coleridge-Taylor and the composers of today. ‘Maori’? ‘'Panama,”’ “Wholly Yorus,’? and ‘‘Content- ment,” all by William H. Tyers, ‘will be conducted by the composer. James Reese Europe, President of the Clef Club, and €onduetor of the Orchestra, is the composer of the ‘Clef Club March,” ‘‘Bene- factors,’’ “A Hot Step,’’ and the “The Strength of the Nation,’” all of which will- appear on the pro- gram, . Speaking of the last concert the New York Tribune said: ‘A concert given by Negru musicians, of music written by Negroes, and given with a spirit that must have been a revelation to those who are not aware of the musica! proficien- cy of the African Race.’ The Evening Postsaid: ‘‘The orchestra was splendid in its swing, rhythm and power, and the singing of" its gifted members. Every music lover in New York ought to hear its work. ‘fhe great audience which crowded Carnegie Hal] en- joyed their treat to the utmost.’’ From the Brooklyn Eagle: “Concert goers will or should look backward with pride to remember that they were present at an inno- vation of musi¢ which will doubt- less grow to be a power.’’ Death Of Mrs. Annie V, Brown Mrs. Annie V. Brown, widow of the ‘late Charles S. Brown and daughter of Franeis A. and Mary C. Miller, departed this life Thurs- day, October 16th, after a brief illness. She was born at MclJaniel, ‘Talbot county 42 years agu. She was a member of Sharp St. Me- morial M. E, Church for quite a number of years. The funeral took place from the home of her sister, Mrs. Michael Greene, 1028 Argyle avenue. The services were eondueted by Rev, M. J. Naylor, of Sharp St. Chureh. Prayer was offered by her class leader, Mr, [Moses James. She is survived by three sisters, one brother,. Mrs, Michael Greene, Mrs. Arthur Den- nis, Mrs. Richard Dudley and Mr. Charles Miller. Interment at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, M. George Holland had charge of the funeral arrangements. | The family takes this occasion to thank their many friends and rela- tives Zor. their cards of sympathy and floral designs and all remem- brance during their hours of be- | reayement.

BOOSTS AND KNOCKS s|the local dailies this week under the caption ‘‘Snobbery in the Schools’? and we certainly wish we ;!had the space to reproduce it in full as it shonld be read by every | parent who has a child in school. The article {n question told how parents were making snobs of their (children by sending them to school {dressed in extravagant clothes, |when they could not afford it and Jhow other children sometimes \stopped going to school because |}they ould not wear clothes as good jas their schoolmates. This is a | serious question and while we would not go so far as to say that a uni- |fgym should be adopted as was Jsuggested by the writer of the article, but we do think that it should be plainly understood that |extravagance of dress is not desired lof children attending the public {schools. We have in mind a young boy who left the high school a few years ago, because he ‘‘could not afford Jto dress like the other boys.’’ Of course we attribute a good deal of ithings like this to false training and false pride. The teachers can |do a great deal to shatter this idea of dress in the minds of the pupil | by teaching and preaching cleanli- ‘}ness and neatness rather than ex- ') travagance. ‘| We can well remember in the old ‘\school days when ‘‘mammy cut’* | trousers, coats and dresses were the {rule rather than the exception, |when @ suit or adress had to sun the gamut from the oldest down ta the youngest before it was cast aside, And with all this the pupils 'Jof that day were clean and neat and | thought more of their lessons than |they did of the prevailing styles Jin cloths. Parents, teach your {children saneness in dress and per- {haps you will have less trouble ‘|with them. ; | Wearestill waiting with patience '|for some signs of life in our local |Business League. If there ever jwas a time when a League was |needed in this city it 1s certainly the present. Now when we are being segregated and kicked and knocked around by our white neigh- bors, the business man should come into his own. If we must be se- gregated, why not make the most of it by exploiting the many busi- ness enterprises in which we are engaged and urge it upon every {member of the race to patronize ‘Jas far as possible our own business |Jenterprises. No one business man Jean do this by himself, but if all the business men were combined }and made a concentrated effort along this line, the ends would cer- {tainly justify the means, {t would not Zonly mean more business Jeaterprises, and more money but ||to those already engaed in ‘|business, more men and women }|given employment and a gen- Jeral help to the commercial life Jof our people in this city. We get 3|together in our churches, schools, \lodges, and social gatherings, why ;|not in our business relations. For .|gcodness sake will somebody put a -|fire cracker under the slumbering . | business league. 2] We have heard nothing from the )/colored department of the Anti- Saloon League for sometime. ,|’Smatter? Dead? ‘| Mrs. Pankhurst, the ‘Carrie -|Nation’’ of the London suffragettes -|in our midst. She is quoted as having said in reference to the colored women voting that ‘‘she ,| (the colored women) would. have to ,| be dealt with according to the con- "|ditions in the community in which Jshe lived.” Funny thing, while "|these ‘‘suffering yet’'s want the £ moral support of the black women in their fight for the ballot, they »|have not the backbone to come out : and make a firm and uncompromis- ¢ ing fight for votes ‘‘for all : women.’’ We are of the opinion that disfranchisement will got be {one of the things ‘‘cured’’ by giv- 1 ing women the ballot. The funeral of Jeremiah Payne, who died at his late home, 732 W. German street, after a brief illness on Thursday of last week, was held at Perkins Square Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon, Rev, F. R. Williams officiated, assisted by Rey. Twisby, of New York.

When I took my pen in hand to seribe you afew lines the lust time I, was in Chicago. Sunday morning I went out to Evanston and had a few words to say. there to the people Sunday morning in shape of a ser- mon. .I had invitation from Rev. E. H, Fletcher to speak for him Sunday morning, and Sunday even- ing I spoke for Rev. J. F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. ‘About 11.20 I said good bye to private secretary and other officials and then went to the Wabash, took a-bed car for St. Louis, Mo., reach- ing there the next morning about T o'clock. 1 reached there on time. Well, I wish you could have seen me toting my big heavy trunks. 1 just had-to stop and rest two or three times. While stopping some white boys neeine through to help the people to tote their things saw me, and. one of them said: ‘‘Old man you will have to mave on with them things.” ‘Attend to your business was this individual’s reply.t’ He said somuthing-else, and I threatened to smash him and he went back to the stable, and returned with a man who wore ,a@ cap and on it was “Sation Master."’ Well he walked side ways and looked at me, and I tried to see just how far back] could stretch my back. He looked and then walked up. and said “Colonel do you want a lift?” “Yes? came the reply from me, “come here hoy and tote these things to the pareél room.” Now that white boy who had ordered me to move, started to ge right on as if [ had not spoken to him, but the white man called him and told him ta give me a lift and [ added ‘you ust learn that your migsien here is to assist passengeys -and not to order then. around.’ He toted then: heavy things of mine to the parce! ream, and 1 thanked hira end he walked awey like a little cur. ae 1 found Rey. Dr. Sampson Brooks, awaitag my arvival and he escorted me to his korte after which I called out to see some friends. Slet Madam Motin, who is now condact- ing a school af clogution and ex- pression. found Mrs. Nettie Wood us busy as could be getiing her Jetters out foc the pastor of St. Paul. A. M. B. Caurch. Called on the Grand Worthy Counsellor of Calanthe in Missouri, and. then went to see another friend. It was Grand Chancetior Lloyd, All were getting ready to receive Supreme Chancellor (reen, and the new Su- preme Keeper of Records‘and Sea, Dr: EB. EB. Underwood, and John Lf. ‘f. Warren, of Hct Springs. They were coming: to receive the office and turn over to Dr. Underwood. ‘| remained in town all day, visit- jog friends, and then started for Newport, Ark. [ was expected there by Rev. G. J. Robiason, who is pastor of the place. * Dr. Robinson had invited. me to come to the city to make a few re- marks in his place. He is one of the ‘preachers ia the Affican Metho- dist Episcopal Church. He carried me to see Mrs. Caroline Dye. .1 never saw so tnany people go to see one woman in my‘ life, but they were there from all parts of the country to consult.her about variou: things. They were there, and I tel! you there were more white people to see her than our own people. Rich and poor, trave! for miles te havevher tell ther something. They tell me, when people get ir trouble, thes go and,tell her, and she hears-the ‘story, and then . tells them whether or not they can get out or what will become of them. People have been coavicted: and she has told them they would go home, and they went home. She has tolc people: to. go to the Governor, and there would he a pardon. for. ther and it has, been. just as.she said. Money after money is just put ir ‘her lap. Ske owns seven. farms, and I don’t Know how much rea estate.. 7 T’spent the night at the home: o! Prof. Wheller’s thence to Malvern, you..how many Jots he owns, on Which he is going 19 put houses from time to time. He is a good doctor. I accepted his invitation to. visit Clarksville and was the guest ai his home. His wife is the. sister of Dr. N. 1. Wallis’ wife. 7 In Clarksville, I met Miss A. E. Hughes, who is conducting her own drug store. She knows her business and. is doing good work. Leaving Clarksville last Saturday morning I came right on to this place, as the guest of Dr. D. J. Crawford. who is pastor ot the Antioch Baptist Church, and who is one of the leaders in the Baptist faith in Texas. Uis wife is con- sidered one of the leaders in the Baptist faith in Texas. His wife is considered one of the best dress- makers in this neck of the woods. Met Rev. E. M. Griggs, D. D., the banker preacher. .He certainly has reached the hearts of the Texas people, and he is well known throughout the state. He isa banker of course, and a man of money and influence. “‘Lyries ofthe Southland,” is the name of a book of poems which has reached me recently from the pen of Emory Elrage Scott, a young ‘man who lives in Chicago aad who is destined to fill a place like that held by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. To read the poems you will at once recognize that a master mind has been at work. ‘‘A Denunciation of Satan,’ ‘Footsteps That Fal- ter,’? ‘Mandy Jane,"’ are some of his best productions. The book conains 93 pages and every page contains a thought worthy of a place in anybody's heart, Then 1 listened to the reading of the ‘‘Buck Slave,’ I could not keep back the tears. Then followed ‘‘Don't Worry,’’ which just lifted me up. Columbus, Texas—You will recall the Fast time [ wrote before this last tinie I was in Palestine, Texas, and there I was the guest of Rev. D. J.

She was apnointed matron or something like that at the big new station, and when he had off hours he’ taught musics in a business college, and as the director of the choir of Antioch Baptist chureh, of which sie Rev. Dr. F, L. Lights is ‘pastor. Now these positions she has been looking after ever since, until last week, she sent in her resignation to the white folks down there at the station, because ishe had been given a position as teacher at a kindergartn, I - cer- tainly did enjoy seeing her in this position. School opened last Mon- day, and now she is training the little children. . In Heuston, | stoppéd. at the home of Miss Mary G. Everette, one of the public school teachers and she is a good teacher.

Hanna, Chairman Republican StateCentralCommittee Baltimore, Md., Dear Sir: As a supporter of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in the primary contest, I was selected by the members of my race as one of the delegates to the Republican Convention in Chicago June a year ago. After he was, as I thought, unfairly deprived of the Republican nomination, I attended the Progressive convention the following August as a delegate from the State of Maryland, and supported him during the entire campaign. I still believe in Colonel Roosevelt and stand for the principles for which he stands. You have, however, in Maryland, adopted in Convention a platform which incorporates all the vital principles for which he and all his followers contend, therefors, as we are on the threshold of an election, the result of which may vitally affect my race and its rights under the constitution of this State, I conceive it to be my duty, as well as the duty of every self-respecting colored man, to once more follow the party of Abraham Lincoln, and so advise all the members of my race. Colonel Roosevelt is in South America. He has left us to work out and solve our own problems in a way that best befits the good citizen in the particular locality in which he resides. In his absence his party has nominated William Sulzer, the impeached Democratic Governor of New York. The party has, in the absence of his leadership, plainly become the party of cheap opportunism. The vote in West Virginia shows all the Progressives have left is a nuisance value—that is, an ability in places to split the Republican vote. There is nothing patriotic or constructive in such a policy, and if pursued it will merely mean that this State and the country will be turned over to the Democratic party. To this policy I am opposed and will, therefore, support the Republican ticket. My services are at your command on the stump or otherwise. Yours very truly JOSEPH P. EVANS Adverti ement, THE Y. M. C.
