THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 7 MINISTERS TO DISCUSS AUTONOMY Colored Members of the M. E. Church to Consider Their Futnre Status. CONDITIONS UNSATISFACTORY Autonomous Relation in Future Desired by Many of Strongest Man in the Church Nashville, Tenn., October 8.—A meeting of far-reaching importance to the 300,000 colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church will begin in this city on the 21st of the month, at which plans for autonomy for the colored membership will be discussed from all angles. There has been a growing feeling that the E. Church, while it has done a great work for the colored people of this country, did not offer the fullest advantages. The denomination has long welcomed the race and after the war, churches and schools were established all over the country. Many of first ministers for colored congregations were white and the teachers in the schools and colleges were Northern white men and women. The result of this pioneer work is seen in the many educated ministers and laymen of the denomination, in the colored men and women, who are teachers in the 22 schools of the Freedmen's Bureau and in other ways. But with this great advance has come the belief with many, that the church does not offer its colored membership the fullest opportunities. This was evidenced more than two years ago when Dr. I. E. Scott, Missionary Bishop to West Africa, had an artice in one of the denominational organs, stating that he believed that the M. E. Church did not offer to its colored membership the fullest opportunities in the departments. This was followed by a number of articles by white and colored churchmen who discussed the situation with apparent frankness. Some of the writers asserted that the refusal of two General M. E Conferences to adopt a plan for racial bishops indicated that the matter of electing a colored bishop was very remote. ADVOCATED AUTONOMY. The late Rev. Dr. D. W. Shaw, of the Washington Conference came out in several strong articles urging autonomy for the colored members of the denomination. Dr. Ernest Lyon also published a pamphlet urging the same. He pointed out that colored Methodists are for the most part segregated and therefore should have their own bishops, own boards and conduct their own affairs generally. He suggested that the bishops of the colored membership could meet with the council of white bishops. "Increasing race prejudice," his pamphlet points out, "and the past history of the black man in this country, render his elevation to the bishopric, if not possible, at least too remote to command at present the serious consideration of thoughtful and sensible people." He asserted that white Methodists, though anxious that the colored contingent be educated, never had any other thought than training the race for other leadership than among colored people. MANY TO BE PRESENT. The call for the meeting here was signed by Rev. W. H. Brooks, of New York City; M. S. Davage, business manager of the Southwestern Christian Advocate; Rev. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. J. C. Sherill, field Agent of the Board of Foreign Missions; Rev. C. C. Jacobs, field agent of the Board of Sunday Schools and W. M. Dugan, president of Wiley University, Marshall, Tex. The first proposal called for a gathering consisting of the heads of Methodist schools and colleges, agents of various denominational boards, district superintendents, one pastor and one layman from each presiding elder district. A number of the ministers of the Washington Conference, most of them favoring autonomy, objected to the scheme of representation; aveerrring that it would exclude many ministers vitally interested in such a gathering. The call was then modified to include all ministers. Many expect to attend, including Revs. M. J. Naylor, H. L. Thomas, C. G. Cummings, W. C. Thompson, W. A. C. Hughes and Ernest Lyon. Many white members of the denomination favor the dropping of the colored contingent, believing that it would result in the M. E. Church and the M. E. Church, South, reuniting. COLORED VOTERS TO FIGHT LILY-WRITISM Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 9—Plans for getting a large number of colored voters registered, combatting lily-whitism and organizing the colored voters of Alabama were discussed at a state-wide conference at the Standard Club today. Strong speeches were made by Dr. U. G. Mason, John O. Diffay, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank and others, urging concerted action. A State Central Committee was formed, and a campaign of education ordered. The meeting was arranged by a special committee consisting of William Saunders, Rev. E. W. Williams, John L. Garrett, G. W. A. Johnson and Oscar W. Adams. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN ON BOOSTING TRIP Nashville, Tenn., Oct. S—The Nashville Negro Boosters' Club has returned from a trip to S. Louis, where a pilgrimage was made to advertise this city's opportunities for colored business and professional men. The club is composed of successful business men. METHODIST CHURCH HOLD REOPENING SERVICES Washington, October 9—Following a complete renovation, inside and out, Mt. Zion M. E. Church, 29th street and Dumbarton avenue, will be formally renamed Sunday. Rev. W. superintendent of the Washington District, will fill the pulpit in the morning and Rev. J. C. Thompson, pastor of the church at night. Special rally services will be held nightly during the week. A REMARKABLE SNAKE STORY Bound Brook N. J., October 9 George Mines is the sweetest Afro-American bass singer around these parts and tho he can sing away care he has no influence with snakes. Some one in the hay loft spied a 20 foot snake ensconded in the rafters. George was called and the reptile pointed out to him. Startled, George gave a shrill cry and the snake began to move. Believ- ing that the hay loft at that time was no place for him, a minister's or no one else's son, George made a bolt for the window and dived to the ground some feet below. He was going so fast that he did not heed the sign at the railroad reading, "Stop, Look, Listen". When last seen he was running through the Ramapo Mountains. NEGRO FARMERS MAKE PROTEST AGAINST LEASES Raleigh. N. C., October 9-At a meeting of colored farmers held here a few days ago, and protested against any raising of prices for their leases. Small crops, owing to the long drought, have placed them in debt, they assert. Colored farmers around here hold leases, on one thousand acres of land, besides owning much more. SMITH GOES BACK ON HIS FORMER CLIENT Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9—Probably the most criticized man in Georgia today is W. M. Smith, a white lawyer, who claims that his former client, James Conley, and not Joe M. Frank, who has been convicted, is the slayer of Mary Phagan. Mary Phagan was employed in a factory of which Frank was superintendent. She was found murdered and Conley, who was employed there, was arrested. He declared that Frank had murdered the girl and compelled him to hide the body. The whole community was against Frank, and he was convicted of murder in the first degree. Conley was convicted by implication and given a short sentence in the chain gang. Wealthy Jews interested themselves in Frank and from Brooklyn, N. Y., where he formerly lived, came ample funds to fight for his life. Burns detectives were employed, but to no avail. Attorney Smith, counsel for Conley, now claims that he believes his client guilty of the murder, which decision was reached, he says, "after close investigation. Conley having been convicted of connection with the crime is now immune from further punishment. His desertion of his former client has aroused much feeling against him, many claiming that he sold out to Frank and his supporters. He has also been threatened with lynching. The change of front will not help Frank's chances for freedom, however, is the general belief. COURSE FOR SOCIAL WORKERS AT MORGAN A course for the training of social workers among colored people has been started at Morgan College. Similar courses are also being given at Johns Hopkins University and Goucher College. The Social Service Corporation has charge of the arrangements for the same. Due credit in collegiate work will be given who make satisfactory progress. While the primary object of the course at Morgan college will be to give students working in sight into the field of philanthropy, including the use and prevention of poverty and misery, and the part played by the individual, the institution and the community in the rehabilitation of families. A secondary object is the investigation of conditions among the colored people of Baltimore, which will provide workers, who can attack the problems of the race from the inside, and so can cooperate to the best advantage with those now working in that field. SEGREGATION TO BE ATTACKED Injunction Filedingg to be Filed in the United States Courts MASS MEET. 3 TO BE HELD Citizens Backlorts to Finally Settle the Venl Segregation Questions. With an eye single to settling the question of segregation laws for the colored people in this country once it all, leading colored residents of the city will file proceedings in the United States District Court next Thursday attacking the utility of the Curtis Segregation Law. Recently, R. W. A. C. Hughes, of Washington, used the store and dwelling at 100 Etting street to a Hebrew for a year. The block has been occupied wholly by colored people and a grocery store was run by a colored man named Russell, who is not dead. When the police learned that the Jew had moved in, they told him he could run the grocery store, but that he and his family could not live there. Though he has expressed will to move, the lease binds him to hold the property for a year. The proceeding will take the form of an information filed by Dr. Hughes to secure a restraining order against the Mayor and City Council and the police, from interference with the plaintiff in renting his property, and against the tenant. This will bring before the Court the question of a man's right to use his property as he sees fit, and its ultimate decision may rest with the United States Supreme Court. C. C. Fitzgerald has consented to serve as attorney without pay. He will have other duties, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a leading white lawyer of this city having already volunteered their assistance. TWO OTHER CASES There is a case pending now before the Court of Appeals attacking the validity of the law. It is that of a white owner who was recently convicted of renting a house to a white man in a "colored" block. Mary G. Lilly, who recently moved into the house at 12 S. Pine street was released for the action of the Criminal Court Wednesday on the charge of violating the segregation law. The owner of the property filed last week at the Western College Station for renting her property and she was ordered to move but refused. The case is interesting one as there are only two houses in the block, one of which is occupied by a white family. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is backing her in her effort to test the law. W. Ashbie Hortins is counsel in the case. The National Association is also behind the movement to test the validity of segregation in Louisville, K TO ARO SE INTEREST. A big mass meeting to arouse general interest in the campaign against the law will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church next Wednesday. The following gentlemen have been invited to speak: United States Senator Moses B. Clapp, Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald, PRICE THREE CENTS Revs. W. C. Hughes, J. Milton Waldron, both of Washington; G. F Bragg, A. L. Gaines, and Harvey Johnson. The meeting will be under the auspices of a general committee organized to fight the law, headed by Rev. M. J. Naylor. Other members include Rev. W. Edward Williams, secretary; A. L. Gaines, treasurer; Ernest Lyon, P. J. Jordan and S. H. Norwood. FAITHFUL SERVICE IS FITTINGLY REWARDED Washington, October S.—Edward A. Savoy, chief messenger in the Department of State, has been appointed a clerk by order of President Wilson following a recommendation from Secretary Bryan. The appointment was opposed by the Civil Service Commission on the ground that men should not be covered into the classified service by executive order. Mr. Savoy's general fitness and long and faithful service were recognized, however. "Eddie" Savoy, as he is familiarly known, was appointed page by Secretary Hamilton Fish, in 1869 and has been with the Department of State since. He has enjoyed a personal acquaintance with many diplomats, and probably knows more diplomatic secrets than any man in Washington. He has the distinction of having delivered passports to three foreign representatives. The first was to Lord Sackville-West, who incurred the displeasure of President Cleveland; the next to the Spanish minister at the out break of the Spanish-American war, and the last to the Mexican Embassador several months ago, when the United States severed diplomatic relations with that country. Though he will get the salary of a clerkship he will remain in the position of chief messenger. Richard Green, for 37 years a messenger in the Treasury Department, was also recently made a clerk by order of the President. In recommending his appointment, Secretary McAdoo said that he was a faithful worker and in every way qualified for clerical duties. Mr. Green has stood at the door of the office of a number of Secretaries of the Treasury. COLLEGE CAMPUS COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL Chicago, October 9-There will be three colored candidates in the election here next month. They are Col. Franklin A. Dennison, candidate for county commissioner S. E. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea, for the legislature from the First District, and Major R. R. Jackson, from the Third District. All are Republicans. CHURCH WORKERS New York, October 9.—Strong addresses, urging the need of colored missionary bishops, in the Episcopal Church, were delivered by Revs. George F. Bragg, Charles H. Boyer, Archdeacon James S. Russell, Joshua B. Massiah and D. Leroy Ferguson, at the 30th Annual Conference of Church Workers among Colored People, Thursday night. Dr. Bragg made a strong plea for race bishops to preside over colored parishes. Rev. George Frazier Miller, who preached the opening sermon, declared that race bishops were needed to further the work of the denomination among the colored people of this country. The conference was held at St. Philip's Church and was attended by clergymen and laymen from all parts of the country. LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER As This is a New Registration It is Imperative That You Register So You Can Have Right to Vote. There are now 93,000 names on the registration books in Baltimore city, which takes in the 12,000 colored men who have registered within the three days that the offices have been open. The last chance to register will be this Saturday. Men who have not yet done so may have their names placed on the books at any time before ten o'clock tonight. There have been several thousand colored voters, who have neglected to register within the past few years and the charge has been made by some that the reason was because they had been convicted of crime. This charge is not true as to the great majority of those unregistered and haste should be made to show up the slander. There will be a mayoralty election next Spring and no matter how disinclined a man may feel to support one or the other of the present leading parties, his name should be on the books so that he may have a part in the naming of the next mayor, who may not be a Democrat, as now. The election for governor, legislature and other State officials, takes place next Fall and there will be a big effort by all parties to capture the prize. If you have not registered, Mr. Colored Voter, see that your name is placed on the books today. CARL MURPHY RETURNS FROM WAR ZONE Carl J. Murphy, who went to Germany, early in the summer to take a course at the University of Jena, has returned to this country. Just before leaving this city, Thursday, for Washington, to resume his duties as instructor in Howard University, he told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, about some of his impressions. Germany has 10,000,000 men ready to fight, he says, and 5,000,000 more in reserve. Every male, who can bear arms, has volunteered for service. He expresses it as his belief, that Germany will ultimately win, and says, that the reports of the war do not fairly represent Germany. News of defeats of the troops of other countries has been and is being suppressed, he says. The people of India, in his opinion, would revolt against England, if they knew the real conditions. Mr. Murphy says, that the only unpleasant incident he had was on a steamer on the Rhrine, on which he took passage for Rotterdam, on his way home. A few Americans objected to his being served meals, an attitude, which was in comprehensible to the Europeans on board. He says, that Americans usually greeted each other after the outbreak of the war with the query, "Are you stranded?" Why work hard when money can be earned easier The Movies need many people now. FACTS AND PARTICULARS FOR $1.00 Worth Fifty P. O. Box 153. Baltimore, Md; RAYNES SALES CO. DR. SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS SCHOOL Unwarranted Attack on Noted Ohio Institution Greatly Displeases Alumni and Undergraduates — Wilberforce University With All Departments Is Simply One Institution. Wilberforce.-The indignation of Wilberforce university and a large body of alumni and undergraduates at the article under the caption "The New Wilberforce" found in the Crisis for August compels a reply, though we well know that unsigned articles anywhere usually merit only silent contempt unless the editor gives a tangible hold by becoming sponsor for them, says President William S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university. In such an article we are accustomed to seek at once the motives inspiring it. In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to belittle what it has done and injure its standing and work for higher education, or by a piqued spirit which sees an opportunity for retaliation, or by a spirit which thus repays personal favors through questionable culigiums, or was it real, unadulterated ignorance steeped in egotism? We must leave it for readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge. One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments who A. B. DR. W. S. SCARBONOUGH. would strive thus publicly to magnify the work of any one department at the expense of another. And for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that there is but one department at Wilberforce that is worth while and to try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce, but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmitigated attempt to slander the whole institution, no matter what the motive. It becomes an attack that cannot be overlooked. Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of the Crisis, and it has always stanchly uphold the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it invited him to be one of the speakers during its commencement, and it readily acquiesced in his selection as one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he cologizes at $175 for five lectures. Wilberforce university is indeed courteously (?) repaid for this by the grateful editor. One thing we state at the outset. The "New Wilberforce" has been a verity for some years. It is Wilberforce university—the whole institution with all its departments and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to swallow up, to ignore, to misrepresent the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the others are their growth, the part th. higher education, this determination all authorities here are agreed must not only be condemned, but put down. The department the article in the Crisis seeks to put for the whole and which calls forth such offensive praise was placed here by the state of Ohio in ISS7, because it wished to help Wilberforce university, and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was first and right for it to be of service to us as we did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill act, which properly belonged to us, but which share went to Ohio State university. It was never intended to be an independent department, and it is not one now. The authorities, one and all, recognize that Wilberforce university with all its departments is a unit and not a conglomerate—a unit with but one head, and that one the president of the university. versity. The article, in question is full of distortion. Facts are partially stated or omitted or partly wrong relations. The jumbled confusion of statements; of the work done, of buildings, of cuts, of culled quotations—all seem designedly used to mislead a public ignorant of the true relations that exist here and of the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial office of the C. N. and I. department is combined with that of the superintendency is due to no one's personality. It was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The sum mentioned as given in the last four years by the state includes moneys appropriated before that time for building purposes, but not available until later. We are proud of our senior cottage, arrangements and appropriations for the building of which were completed some years ago by the state. But one would infer from the writer's article that Emery hall was also a creation of the department he eulogizes. This is not so, however. The funds—over $50,000—were raised by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the girls of the college department is the one especially considered by all authorities to be the "most completely equipped dormitory to be found anywhere in any Negro institution." The military wing of our university, a cut of which embellishes the article in the Crisis, is a department that any institution may be proud of, but it is no creation of the department picked out for special laudation, as those unacquainted with the faets might regard it from the connection made. The United States government is pleased to maintain it here still under the best of Negro instructors, paying all expenses, and has recently appointed Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States cavalry for the second time to take charge of it. The paragraph referring to enrollment is garbled so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no inherent power to falsify, but they may be made to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 493. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 10 per cent in any department to the knowledge of the president or the faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the state (over 300 last year), and the greatest per cent of increase anywhere is found in the college classes. The state of Ohio helps Wilberforce university by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1887 through long years of labor and earnest work of those in charge. We are gratified at this confidence shown by the state in our entire work. We hope for more help. It is true, however, that the college needs funds. So does every institution for higher education in the land. It is no crime to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise his hand to get it, but no recipient of such favors should congratulate himself upon unusual ability because of this condition, nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any department which has to hustle to gather funds from philanthropy for its work. With such an attitude and similar statements from overzealous friends. (?) Wilberforce university is apt to be more hindered than helped in its work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord, deliver us from such friends." BELIEVES IN SCHOOL'S WORK Liberal Policy at the Wilberforce (O.) University Highly Commended. Wilberforce, O. President W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce University: Dear Sir—The members of the board of education of Xenia school district and others who accompanied us on our delightful visit to this great university desire to express our high appreciation of the singular courtesy shown in our invitation, in our reception and in our entertainment. We desire to express also our firm belief in the importance of the work which the university is doing and in the faithfulness and ability with which it is being done. Particularly do we express our gratitude for the opportunity so generously afforded to pupils of the Xenia high school to pursue work in the university. XENIA SCHOOL BOARD. Manager Newport News Star Resigns II. C. Young, who has been serving in the capacity of business manager of the Star at Newport News, Va., for some time, has resigned. In speaking editorially of Mr. Young's leave taking, Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Star says: "With this issue of the Star, Sept. 25, our manager, H. C. Young, severs his relation with this paper and goes back to Norfolk to take up the work which he left when he came to us. We are thoroughly convinced that newspaper men who make a necessity must be born to the work a , the practice, but increase their in a efficiency. All we can do is to hope that we may be able to find the penner who shall be able to take the manager out of the Star office and carry it on a efficiently and suc- cessfully as Mr. Young has done during the several months he has had the management." Big Victory For Anti-saloon League. At the September election in Virginia the Anti-saloon league of the state won a great victory over the liquor interests of the state. The law against the sale of intoxicating beverages in the state goes into effect the 1st of November, 1916. Women Christian Temperance unions through out the country are rejoicing over the victory of the Virginia organization and will fight the liquor sellers in their reservation communities with renewed deterritorial THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER BENEFACTOR OF ALL THE PEOPLE Good Work of the Hon. John P. Green. HIS CAREER AS STATESMAN. Originated and Introduced Bill In Ohio Legislature Making First Monday In September Annual Holiday In Honor of Labor—Popular With Labor Unions Throughout Nation. Philadelphia—Perhaps but a very few of the leaders and but a small percentage of the members of the many labor unions are aware of the fact that the father of this bill which made the first Monday in September a holiday in honor of labor was a colored man, says G. Grunt Williams in the Philadelphia Tribune. The first Labor day bill was written by John P. Green, attorney-at-law, Cleveland, O., in 1890. He was then a member of the Ohio legislature and personally introduced his bill before the Sixty-ninth general assembly. The bill was strenuously opposed in the committee, but when it came before the main body for passage the Hon. John P. Green was very much in evidence. He made an eloquent plea in defense of the bill and urged its passage because of its unusual importance. He quoted the number of labor unions in the state of Ohio and their enormous membership and voting strength. The bill passed, and Mr. Green was called the "Daddy of Labor Day." On several occasions Mr. Green was the guest of honor of the Amalgamated Trades of Cincinnati and on one oc- M. B. HON. JOHN P. GREEN. casion rode with distinguished citizens at the head of the Labor day procession. The bill was the first passed by a state legislature legalizing Labor day as a holiday. With a few changes it was afterward presented in and passed by congress, indorsed by the national labor body, and since then the day is considered a national holiday in all the states and the District of Columbia and Alaska. For three years following the passage of the bill by the general assembly Mr. Green was the honored guest of national labor union bodies and was toasted and feted as a leading advocate of labor legislation. Indorsed by the labor unions, he was subsequently elected to the senate of Ohio. He was the first and only colored man so far to have that honor. John P. Green of Cleveland, O., was born at Newborn, N. C., on April 2, 1845, of free and humble colored parents. His father died in 1870, leaving his mother a widow with three small children. Mrs. Green sold her slender belongings, the remnant of a fortune which the elder Green had lost, and took her three children to Cleveland July 7, 1857. John P. was then twelve years of age. After attending the common schools of Cleveland young Green set forth to buy a home for his mother. It was a long, hard struggle, but in 1860 the last dollar was paid. In 1860 he was graduated from the Central high school of Cleveland, having taken a classical course. Subsequently he was graduated from the Ohio Union Law college in Cleveland. Senator Green's public record began in 1870, when he was admitted to practice law. In 1873 he was elected a justice of the peace of Cleveland. He was three times elected and served continuously for nine years, during which time he commenced and disposed of about 12,000 cases. In 1882 Mr. Green was elected to the general assembly of Ohio. In 1891 he was reelected to the legislature, and in 1892 he took his seat in the senate of the Seventieth general assembly of Ohio, being the only colored man ever elected to that body. During his service as senator he was called upon to preside over the senate, and it is worthy of note that during the time he presided over that body he was de facto lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio. During the period from 1857 to 1906, nine years, Mr. Green discharged the duties of United States postage stamp agent under both Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. During eighteen months of that time he discharged the duties of acting superintendent of finance of the postoffice department. To the Friends and Patrons of the late ALEX.

Church spoke of the praiseworthy spirit in the President of the United States in issuing a proclamation to the nation urging prayer for the cessation of war in Europe. He said: "Every citizen should pray that the European war be discontinued. P. REV. DR. A. L. GAINES. The Negro Americans should pray for this and more; they should supplement their prayer for peace by another prayer, to wit: that hypocrisy should be brushed from the American nation. The criticism of the Turkish minister to this country, urging America to clean up its own cause, before essaying to clean up supposed wrongs in Turkey, was sensational because it was timely. Our pray for peace; but let Negroes especially pray that American hypocrisy be banished." PROMINENT MINISTERS CONDEMN THE CURSE OF DEMON RUM The contributed article and editorial in the last issue of the Afro-American Ledger calling attention to the fact that colored people in this city wasted nearly $750,000 a year, in buying intoxicating drinks has occasioned general comment, and many seem astounded at the figures presented. A representative of the Afro-American Ledger made a number of inquiries of persons regarding this evil. Every person said that the loss in health, good morals and economic efficiency represented too great a loss and that the ministers and other race leaders should make a determined stand against the evil. Some said that they had only recently become alarmed, but that now the insidiousness of the traffic was realized. Ten States and sections of many States have voted "dry" within the past few years and in Washington, a big delegation appeared before the Exercise Board Monday to protest against the location of so many saloons in the colored sections of that city. A law has recently been passed limiting the saloons to 300 and those in colored neighborhoods, supposing that the men and women of the race would not be interested, have been trying to herd the saloons among colored people. A few of the expressions follow: Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson—"The people of Baltimore, know where I have stood for thirty years on the question of liquor. I still believe that it is one of the greatest evils of the times, and can only be eradicated by a national prohibition act." Dr. Ernest Lyon: "I went to Washington Monday to attend the hearing of colored residents on the limiting of the saloons to 300. Some of the whites asserted that the colored people were not interested in the matter. One white man asserted that two-thirds of the patronage came from the colored people of the District of Columbia. I was appalled at his remarks and believe that every means should be used to banish the curse." Rev. Wm. Alexander: "The question of the saloon and its ravages is one of the most important that we have to deal with. There is entirely too much money wasted in liquor, and those who benefit by the traffic are not the least concerned in the race. A tremendous social responsibility devolves upon the educated young men and women of the race, but I am even afraid that they are shirking their duty in their too-great a desire to shine as social leaders." In order to meet the needs of students, especially those intending to enter the ministry, Clayton-Williams University has planned strong courses in theology, the higher academic branches and philosophy. Courses in history and economics with their especial bearing on the race will also be offered. Evening classes began this week. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs, the new president of the university, feels optimistic over the future of the school. "Every effort will be made to not only raise the standard of the university," he told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, "but to make its work of service to the largest number." Dr. Diggs is an alumnus of Bucknell University, and has been connected with several schools and colleges. POLITICAL GUNS BEGIN TO BOOM Washington, October 9.—With the approaching adjournment of Congress in order to let the representatives go back home and look after their political fences, talk of the 1916 campaign has commenced. The Democrats believe that their majority in Congress will be reduced in the November election, but they are looking forward to "putting Wilson across" in 1916. The Progressives will make a most aggressive campaign and their is a belief that Col. Roosevelt will head both the tickets of the Republican and Progressive parties. New York will be a battleground of the Republicans and a big effort will be made to land Whitman in the congressional chair. In Illinois, the Republicans will make a strenuous effort to capture the State. M. TREGOR & SONS Superior Hair Dressing ...PRINCESS COMB AND HEATER.

For instance, the two Christian Associations—the Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A. in days gone by this kind of business was called, in some cases, cowardice and in others, laziness. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? Today is the last day that you can get your name on the poll books. It is the tight of every citizen to have his name on the poll books and to vote at any election, and any man who has the right to register and does not do so, is not the very best kind of citizen. Not much more than half the colored people who are entitled to be registered are on the poll books. We venture to say that if the next legislature were to attempt to pass a law disfranchising colored people, those who have failed to get their names on the books because of negligence or indifference, would make the most noise about being disfranchised—yet they deliberately disfranchise themselves. It is about time to wake up and get your name on the poll books, whether you vote in the general election or not. SEGREGATION TO BE TESTED. Segregation is about to have its day in court again, and it is to be hoped that it will get its finish good and plenty. We understand that a case is now in progress, which in a probability will be tried in the United States Court, and thus as far as Baltimore at least, is concerned, will put a stop to it sometime. A peculiarity about this case is that the property is owned by a colored man, living in another city and rented to a white man. The white man in moving in was stopped by the police, after he had commenced to move in. The property is a store corner, and the man was told that he could move into the store and do business but could not move his family. It is this case that will be tried in the United States Court. Judging from past experiences with this Court, we are of the opinion that we will get a verdict that will knock out this segregation business for good and all. If the city should take an appeal to the Supreme Court and that court should decide against it, the whole thing will be settled for all the States. All of these questions must be settled, and it is only a matter of time before they are settled right, for after all, right must prevail. NEED OF BUSINESS LEAGUE There ought to be organized in this city a substantial business league for the purpose of stimulating business enterprises When we look around and see so many stores in the so-called segregated district run by those who make it possible for us to be segregated, and who are getting our money, and after reaching a certain point, to move into more prosperous sections, and away from us, it is enough to discourage the most optimistic among us. On every corner in districts so thickly inhabited by colored persons, stores owned and operated by our people ought to be in evidence. There was a time when it was said that colored people would not patronize colored people. This may have been true years ago, but it is far from being true today. Time was when few colored people would patronize colored doctors, but they do today; time was when they would not give a case higher than the Police Station, to a colored lawyer, but they give every colored lawyer worthy of the name, excellent patronage in these days. They have found that a colored doctor can cure or kill with the same facility that a white doctor can; they have also found out that a colored lawyer can get you into just as much trouble as a white lawyer, or get you out of it with just as much cost. If a colored man will patronize a colored physician when it is a case of life or death, or a lawyer, when it is a case of getting in or out of prison, why is it that colored people will not patronize colored business establishments? The colored people will patronize well conducted business establishments of their own as they will patronize others, all things being equal. It ought not to be expected that a colored man going into business should think of soliciting trade because of his color, rather should he solicit it because of competency, or ability to give equal or better service than his nearest competitor. People ought not to expect to have to pay higher prices for inferior goods simply, because the seller is a colored man. The colored man must do business along the same lines as the white man and give just as good service, if anything, better. Give the service and you will get the trade. ELIMINATING THE SALOON The New York Age takes up the saloon question in Harlem and finds fault with the white saloon keepers for keeping disorderly houses, which are doing incalculable damage to your young people. It says that the "colored saloon keepers have expressed a desire to conduct their business along legitimate lines, and the colored citizens of Harlem and other sections should aid them in the commendable endeavor." The editorial closes with the significant remark that "there must be genuine reform all along the line." The Age makes a serious mistake if it thinks there is any such thing as reforming a saloon-keeper, so long as he has the desire and is willing to sell liquor. There is and can never be any reform for the saloon, but the reforming it out of business. Just as well talk of reforming his satanic majesty as to talk of reforming those who make and sell the damnable stuff that makes men and women brutes of themselves. One has but to walk up Drudid Hill avenue as far as Hoffman street and on Pennsylvania avenue from Orchard to Gold street and see what kind of men and women the saloons are turning out and then ask themselves the question: "What kind of reform will do these saloons any good?" No, Brother Age, there is only one way to reform the saloon, and that is to reform it entirely out of business. ONE MOST IMPORTANT NEED. The aged and venerable Dr. Alexander Crummell, just five weeks before his death wrote these words to a friend: "I don't believe the Negro is going to the devil. That disease and penury are carrying off a large contingent, is doubtless true. This is the inevitable incent in all revolutions of society; and our change of condition is a revolution, a long continued revolution just as the French revolution of '98 is still on, and still producing results and influences. But neither one of these revolutions is in. Fully one-third of our people are going up-vitally, industrially, religiously and monetarily. Another third are at standstill, and still another third are going rapidly destruction, through unthrift, dissipation, disease and deviltry, and it is a shame on our ministers and churches that they are allowed to go to ruin." These are strong out true words, spoken by a man whose love for his race is beyond a shadow of doubt. What are we seriously doing to save the "third going rapidly to destruction." And this is a vital question worthy of serious answer. AN INDUSTRIAL CRISIS IN LIBERIAN RE That Liberians are in because of inability, due European war situation, in foodstuffs, was told the Ministers' Conference by I. W. M. Alexander at Union Church Monday. He said that the Lot Baptist Foreign Mission, of which he is correspondent has $1,000 in send there, but that means But one phase of the matter is sufficient for our present purpose. Many jobs, and places of employment formerly held by colored persons, are steadily being given to white persons. Why is this? Doubtless many reasons may be advanced. Some good, some not so good. But there is one reason which we admit with sadness and regret. In quite a large number of instances, the change is made from colored to white, because of moral inefficiency upon the part of colored employees. Of all our faculties the moral is the slowest to make progress. Going forward in an appreciable degree implies great stimulating effort. These two words, "Moral inefficiency" accounts for the drift backward of an alarming number of our race. Our moral agencies, if they are efficient, should earnestly be brought to bear upon this phase of our problem. The large majority of our people must necessarily find work as employees in laboring enterprises. How can they conceive in such jobs increase, and hope for promotion? Only by yielding the most efficient and acceptable service. If they are not increasingly honest, punctual, faithful, reliable, courteous, and supremely industrious, they will certainly be supplanted by persons of a different race, who are ready and willing to excel them in these respects. It is every way to the interest of the employer to have the best and most efficient service whether, such be white or colored. When Dr. Crummall says, "It is a shame on our ministers and churches that they are allowed to go to ruin" he simply states the naked truth, however painful it may be to hear it. The Christian Church exists for a definite purpose, and that is, the people might have life and have it in good abundance. It deals with the formation and sustenance of character. Everything else lends for it, should, to this one thing of character building. As people grow in character they must necessarily grow in moral efficiency. As they decline in character they also decline in moral efficiency. There is no substitute for character. If a man is not honest sooner or later, like a piece of rotten timber he will drop out. Of course, while the chief responsibility rests upon the ministers, yet the Christian people of the churches are by no means free of their share. The very purpose of their profession in the Christian religion is to "sense in the world as lights." The inspiration they receive through the church is to show itself in concerting inefficiency into efficiency. As painful as it may be, nevertheless, it is the truth, the continuity of our own life depends upon the constant exertion made to infuse a life into our backward and writing brother. The various agencies in our churches can hardly be called Christian unless the direct aim and object of the same be increasing the genuine spiritual and moral life of the people. What we need is constant urging of the necessity of that kind of religion which shows itself in the highest attainable moral efficiency in our ordinary and daily tasks. Without such religion we shall certainly be eliminated. --- Miss Flora Mayo, sister of Mrs. Jessie B. Hill, of 1137 Carrollton avenue and Mr. William Bennett, were married on Wednesday evening. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the immediate families of the con racting parties by Rev. P. J. Jordan, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church. Local Odd Fellows are planning to give a big reception and banquet to Julius C. Johnson, in honor of his having been elected deputy grand master of the order. A meeting will be held at Odd Fellows Hall this Sunday afternoon, to arrange for the function, which will take place some time in November. It is hoped to have Grand Master Morris, Grand Secretary Needham and other prominent out-of-town Odd Fellow in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Julius C. Johnson wish to thank those who sent floral tributes to their recently deceased friend, Miss Mary Baker. AN INDUSTRIAL CRISIS IN LIBERIAN REPUBLIC That Liberians are in distress, because of inability, due to the European war situation, in getting foodstuffs, was told the Baptist Ministers' Conference by Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander at Union Baptist Church Monday. He said that the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, of which he is corresponding secretary has $1,000 in hand to send there, but that means of transferring same had been stopped by the conflict in Europe. A big effort is being made to interest the United States govern- PETER H. DR. W. M. ALEXANDER ment in the plight of Liberia. A few days ago, a number of gentlemen including Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. M. W. Clair, both of Washington; Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United States; Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign missions of the National Baptist Convention, and John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, called at the State Department, and told of the distressing conditions of Liberia. Secretary Daniels, of the Navy, was also seen and asked to send a war vesel there laden with provisions, and also money that the Baptists Lutherans, M. E. Church and A. M. E Church and other agencies have in hand for Liberia. They also told the officials that this government had recently appropriated $1,000,000 to aid Americans stranded in Europe and that some of this may be used to aid Americans in Liberia. It was also stated that the Liberian trade, which has hitherto gone to Europe may come to this country, if aid was given. They left with the promise that if possible ways and means could be found to relieve the situation. Consul General Lyon and the State Department have exchanged a number of communications regarding the situation and he expresses himself as being hopeful that aid will be extended the little West African Republic. PROMINENT COUPLE UNITED IN WEDLOCK Probably the biggest wedding that has taken place in this city in recent years was that of Miss Thakin Henson and Willard Wallace Allen, at John Wesley M. E. Church, Wednesday evening. The church was crowded with the friends of the contracting parties and the vicinity of the church teemed with people. Rev. Dr. kirsten Lyan officiated. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, by whom she was given in marriage. Edward S. Peck played the wedding march. The bride was becomingly attired in white crepe Media, trimmed in pearls, and carried Bride roses. The bridesmaids, Misses Mildred M. Bell and Anna V. Evans, were gowned in white and carried pink roses. Mrs. Daisy Weaver was matron of honor; Miss Nellile Johnson, ring hearer. Mr. William Lewis was best man, and Messrs. Louis Vannockay and Winfield Bishop, ushers. A reception followed at the home of the bride's parents, 1117 N. Carey street. The presents were numerous and handsome. The bride is a graduate of the High School and has taught in the city schools. The groom is connected with the Masonic fraternity. Mr. and Mrs. Allen will be at home 1117 N. Carev street this Sunday afternoon. NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN. The public night school resumed work Monday. At the High School over 400 pupils were enrolled, including a number of those who at one time attended the day classes The other schools were also largely attended. DISSATISEACTION AMONG REPUBLICAN LEADERS Sharp criticism of the attitude of Maryland Republicans toward the race was voiced by several speakers at a meeting of representative party men at the Republican headquarters in the Calvert Building last Friday night. The party leaders had become alarmed because only 5,000 colored men were registered at the first sitting and had sent invitations to a number of prominent men to be present and talk over the situation. Dr. Ernest Lyon was called upon to speak and he startled those present by criticizing. Governor Goldsborough for ignoring the colored voters who had loyally supported his candidacy for governor. "I have always considered it my duty as a minister," he said, "to advise my people to register and vote, believing that it was one of the highest privileges of a citizen. On that score it is unnecessary to call him. There may be some uneasiness caused by the smallness of the registration among colored voters, but that is probably due to the fact that the colored voters have always been sought before election and almost completely ignored thereafter. The reason why so many colored people rushed into the Progressive ranks in 1912, was because the present State administration had practically ignored him. The men who want to profit by the suffrage of the race should not forget them so soon after election." Coming from an ardent and consistent Republican Dr. Lyon's remarks had a profound effect upon those present. Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander spoke in a similar vein and said that efforts ought to be made to get over 20,000 colored men registered ui Baltimore. We went to vote Bro. Davis down; We went a 150 strong And we took the old war horse along. The old war horse of great renown Who hails from Annapolis town; He got on the field and viewed the ground Ann said "boys we'll do them up brown," With ammunition cut and dried With boys behind all true and dried tried Old Maryland got upon the field With the word down the line, boys do not yield. There were charges and counter charges And charges that wasn't right; And we carried New York with us In the thickest of the fight. Now its up and take notice, That right is the proper way And if you hit quick and hard Light will win the day. I'll the next D. H. C. L. T. D. Maryland Division. W. C. T. U. HOLDS ANNUAL CONVENTION The State Convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union met in Salisbury on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. There were 120 delegates present, two of whom were colored. Mrs. C. G. Cammings and Mrs. D. G. Hill. The report of the work among colored people was enthusiastically received, after which many county presidents spoke of the most excellent temperance work being done by colored women throughout the state. The colored delegates were shown every courtesy and made to feel strictly welcome. A meeting will be held at 1234 Druid Hill avenue, in the near future, at which time a general movement to fight the continuance of the saloon will be launched. REGISTER!! TODAY!

MIDNIGHT ON WIMTER TOUR Passes Through Kentucky and Pays a Visit to the Baptist Women's Convention Louisville, Ky.—1 do not understand human nature, and I suppose will have to go to my grave with out, because every day brings me just a little nearer the grave and it is hard to tell just when I will get there. Speaking of the grave, I find that big men continue to go there, and we are constantly being called upon to pay a tribute to some man who has accomplished something in the world and then before he could enjoy much praise for the services rendered the Lord calls him home. God's plans are not ours and we must submit to them, whether we want to or not, and there is no redress. When I read in the Afro-American Ledger a few days ago of the death of Chaplain Allen Allensworth it was indeed a sad blow to me. I recall my visit to California months ago and how kind he was to me. He was just full of courtesy, but the Lord has seen fit to call him home, and I expect some day myself to meet him in heaven. I am heaven bent and heaven bound, and expect to reach there when I have said goodbye to the people in this world The Lord has a fine place for me up there and I expect to enjoy it. When I took my pen in hand to write you last I was in Maysville, Ky., the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor and the Bells, and believe me when I tell you I had a fine time. Those people are royal entertainers. The citizens were in a fight there and I was surprised to have the committee to invite me to make a few scattering remarks on Sunday afternoon. You see they were fighting what they called wets and drys. I did not understand this, but the drys invited me to talk when they learned that I did not drink whiskey, beer, wine, coffee or tea. They had the band to play, and the people just filled up the courthouse. The other people were three to one of my people. They were there all ages and sizes and I was to tell them to vote After opening, Rev. Jackson introduced me and them people just listened at me as if I were one of them men they call "Spellbinders" I have heard about them. They laughed, they clapped their hands, and some dropped a few tears. I told them that my plea was not for my race, or any other race, but for humanity. I may not have known what I was saying, but I made my plea for the white home, and for the black home side by side, for the white boy and the white girl, with my own boy and my own girl. They heard me patiently and when I was through they gathered around me, shook my lily black hands. The white women declared they were proud of me and of course the women of my race said the same thing. They treated me like I was a big man, and I feel big. I am afraid that I will have to have my hats made to order in the future. Now then off for church Sunday night. I preached at the M. E. Church and the white people followed me there, and a large number attended a special lecture Monday afternoon to women only. This was the crowning lecture, but they returned at night when I spoke some more. I have an invitation to return, and they even invited me to remain over and make another lecture and it was not for my people. I could not remain. Mrs. Bell brought me at night a big basket of chicken and cake and other things. The girls mentioned contributed their part in this big lunch and Mr. Taylor told me that his home would ever be open to me. This he meant. Now off to Paris, Ky., where I visited the public school talked with the teacher and others, and then it found me on the wagon, headed for Cynthiana. Reaching Cynthiana at noon, Miss Allyne Stewart, her mother and stepfather, Dr. McLaurin were there to receive me and escort me over to the school. I am one of the most school goingest men in the country and I think since I have been to so many schools I should be more educated, in fact should be one of the most educatedest men, but I find merely going to school will not give you education. I shall be unable to tell you all about my visit to Cynthiana, for I have so many things to say and so many things to do in this world. I passed through Paris again, but did not stop. Made the change, and then on to Lyon. Grown. This is a busy place and I have some people here who doing some- thing. It is full of industry and thrift as far as our people are concerned. At the head of our school is to be found Prof. W. H Fouse. He was as busy as could be. I was delighted to talk with him, talked with Dr. W. H. Ballard, the oldest druggist in the state, called at the school over which Prof. Calder presides, spent some time with Rev. W. A. Jones, who is to leave here and go to Knoxville, Tenn., to take charge of the church there. All of these things were inspiring to me. I certainly did enjoy seeing all these good things. I only spent the night in Lexington, and then started bright and early the next morning for Frankfort. Thus I rode on the first day day of the month, and that means I am going to be riding all the month. Well I reached town I found a big committee at the station receiving delegates to the Womens' Baptist Educational Convention and believe me they have some convention here. I was in the remembering business when this convention was organized 31 years ago, but never had the pleasure of seeing it before. It is presided over by Mrs. M. E. Steward, the wife of Editor W. H. Steward, of the American Baptist. She is indeed a fine presiding officer, and she has around her some fine women of my race, who stood ready to encourage her and did. Mrs. M. L. Brooks, and Miss M. E Williams, were the leaders in sending people to stop ping, places, and of course sent me to the home of Mrs. Amanda Coleman, and my roommate was Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville. Bu as to the convention. I don't know as I have ever seen one like it. Mrs. Luvinia Sneed was active in it and she had much to say and do. She was a leader in the convention. She was right by the side of Mrs. Steward. Prof. W. H. Mayo, and his daughter, gave a reception to the whole convention, served refreshments to 400 people and still had some left. I want to tell you something about Miss Mayo, who has charge of the special department at the city school, where cooking and things like that is taught. She is regarded as one of the best teachers in the country in that branch. She is well educated. I was proud to see her, and her work in the school. The convention was a success. I had a fine time and then started for this place. As I have told you before we are furnishing to the world strong men and women, and it is my duty to introduce to you Miss Bertha L. Martin, the daughter of Rev. J. A. Martin, Selma, Ala., and her sister, Miss Mattie L. Martin. These young ladies are accomplished and are contributing their part in racial development. They were recently in Oberlin. Miss Mattie L., finished a business course there and is now connected with Snow Hill, Ala., school. If you have any mail for me send it to Fort Worth, Texas, care R. C. Houston, Jr. I will be the guest of N. T. Wallis, D. D. S., during the session of the Baptist State Convention. TUSKEGEE TEACHES BLACKSMITHING Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 5—The mighty smith, with large and sinewy hands, who shod more horses than ordinarily two men could shoe, and tized more wagons than good business often called for, then led church services on Sunday, is a pretty apt description of the colored blacksmith of the South. From days of slavery until fifteen years ago, the smaller cities and towns of the South knew colored blacksmiths and horseshoers, and them alone. A trade upon which big demands are made especially in agricultural sections, the blacksmith always finds plenty to do, and always commands a good price for his labor. Investigation discloses that colored blacksmiths are decreasing almost in every part of the South. The young men are not taking the places of the older men as these drop out through old age and death. However, whatever colored men have opened modern shops, using improved methods, they have built up a good trade, and in many instances, even in the larger cities, such shops get more than an equal share of patronage. Helpers in blacksmith shops command $3 and $4 per day, while profit for the owner always effords an independent living. Blacksmiths who have been trained in the shops at Tuskegee Institute have always found work plentiful and profitable, and many starting as helpers now own big shops that do big business. Blacksmithing and horseshoeing was one of the first trades installed at THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER 2,000 NEW SUBSCRIBERS By January 1,1915 Boys and Girls we want your help and we are depending on you to make good.

From the class room the student goes direct to the big shop where practice is done on the repairing of the school's many vehicles, and on the hundred's of head of live-stock whose feet must be kept shod. The shop is furnished with nine big forges, Champion blowers, one portable forge, with a 120 pound anvil for each stationary forge. There is a tool bench for each forge, supplied with every kind of tool known to blacksmithing. The theory carries one through a study of the anatomy of the horse's foot, axle and tire welding; building and repairing wagons and carriages; the use of iron, steel, oil and borax. There is room in the South for a thousand good blacksmiths. "BLACK PATTI" COMING TO THE ORPHEUM THE LADY OF THE MAYFIELD R. Voeckel presents the Black Patti Musical Company in a three act musical entitled "Lucky Sam From Alabama" with the best colored talent obtainable, headed by the world's famous Black Patti, Sisseretta Jones, the greatest singer of the colored race, and Harrison Stewart, the funny comedian. "Somewhat different" is said to apply in comparing "Lucky Sam from Alabama" with the average colored shows, as there is a plot and general consistency, and a reason for everything that is done that obviates the necessity for horse play and does away with that straining for a laugh effect. The dialogue is bright and funny, and the situations and scenes so unusual that the audience is continually convulsed with laughter. The play is written for laughing purposes only, and can aptly and correctly be termed a laughing success. It will begin a week's engagement at the Orpheum Theatre on Monday night. HAMPTON INSTITUTE OPENS WITH LARGE ENROLLMENT Forty-seventh Term of Famous Trade School Begins Auspiciously. Hampton, Va.—Hampton institute began its forty-seventh term Thursday, Oct. 1. Entering class numbers about 295-121 girls, 174 boys—making an enrollment of nearly 900. There are seventeen new Indians, making a total of fifty-five Indians who since the government bus withdrawn its appropriation are bravely working their own way as the colored students do. New students entering the work class spend most of their time for a year in caring for the school buildings, doing work on the farm, in the dormitories and helping in the various school offices as orderlies. They work during the day for twelve months and attend night school for eight months. An unusually large number of students have entered the day classes this year. The trade school, with its thirteen different trades, and the agricultural course attract students from all parts of the country. For the girls Hampton institute offers a four year academic, normal, home economics, library and matron course. Hampton institute has carried on its work for nearly half a century and has sent forth over $0.000 young men and women equipped to earn honorable livings as teachers, farmers and skilled tradesmen. It has imbued in its students a desire to be of service to their race and by their own homes, their work and their daily life to act as examples and teachers to the less fortunate among whom they live. It stands today for all that aids in training members of undeveloped races to become earnest, industrious, Christian citizens. It teaches them the dignity of labor, the happiness of service and the value of moral and physical cleanliness. It is lending its support to every effort to increase the earning capacity of the Negro and Indian races. Mr. Hugh Alger of West Chester, Pa., who has recently been acting as state supervisor in the district of Norwalk, Conn., will fill the position of supervisor of the academic department, made vacant by the resignation of Miss Harriet S. Hayward. Among the new teachers in the academic department are Miss Ruth E. Goodwin, Mrs. John G. Brady, Miss Dorothy L. Jones and Mr. Fred E. Fossitt. Mr. Oliver K. Snyder of Florin, Pa., is the new instructor of drafting. Miss Beatrice A. Leete will take charge of the domestic science department. Miss Ellen Cope of West Chester, Pa., is the girls' physical director, and Miss Mary D. Stone has accepted the position of secretary to the vice principal. Miss Grace Lz Morrison and Miss Williametta O. Nash, who have had a year's leave of absence, have returned to their duties in the academic department. 8. B. Turner Nominated For Assembly.

Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greensboro Shows Increase in All Departments—Success of President James B. Dudley as Educator and Defender of Human Rights. BY GEORGE F. KING. Greensboro, N. C.—The North Carolina Agriculture and Mechanical college in this city for the education of colored youth begins the fall term with an increase in all departments. The faculty is composed of well known educators, and the school ranks among the best in the section of the country. Graduates of this school are to be found among the leaders of the race in many states. They are holding positions of trust and responsibility and are making and among lines of useful energy. Through the good work A. B. which the alumni is doing the school has become widely known throughout the state and the nation. The funds provided by the state for the use of the institution are economically and wisely expanded. The president of the school, Dr. James B. Dudley, is a man of great executive ability, and his influence in the south argues for much in favor of the ample relations existing between the two races in this section. He has been at the head of this school for the past eighteen years. Dr. Dudley is devoting much time and energy in the present time to the movement in this state having for its object better accommodations for the colored people on the railroads. He takes a many stand against anything which tends to degrade or in any way retard the progress of the race. Some time ago, when the attempt to segregate the colored farmers was made, Dudley was foremost in defending their rights against this Jim Crow policy. He does not seek to stir up strife, but buses his efforts on the law as it routes to each citizen's rights to pursue his chosen calling without being imposed, so long as such rights do not intrude upon the privileges of others. He has a host of friends among the masses of both races and is a true exponent of the gospel of fair play for every man, regardless of race, creed or color. Believes in law order, hence his wise counsel has been of great service to the colored people in the city and state. Wherever there is an attempt in any part of North Carolina to suppain members of his race by the employment of foreign labor Dr. Dudley is at the front pleading the cause of the colored laborer against injustice and race discrimination. Industrial education is impartial in the bestowal of its blessings. It offers its gifts to the people of every race or clime without restriction, and to the colored people of the south its offerings have a peculiar significance, says Dr. Dudley. The older men of the race who were leading merchants and workmen among them wrought well in their day. They were masters of the art of getting good results. With the disappearance of the old guard the field for the Negro mechanic has been greatly reduced. They are being displaced in many sections by foreigners. This is a serious loss to our people, yet there is encouragement in the fact that we have it within our power to arrest this serious loss by thorough preparation, which will enable our people to compete with any class of workmen that may come among us. Elliency is the watchword of the age. The prepared man gets the job, and the man who can fill the requirements in promptness, exactness, honesty and reliability will not only get the job, but will hold it. The progress of the race thus far is due almost entirely to the fact that we early grasped the spirit of education and industrial pursuit, and if we continue to cultivate this spirit our future progress will be far greater. Hard training for special lines of work, a better knowledge of values and the courage of honest convictions will do much to sustain us in the great struggle of the survival of the fittest STATISTICS SHOW THRIFT. Occupations In Which the Race Is Engaged Exclusive of Farming. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Washington. Quite recently I gave the number of colored men engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in the United States. The number, especially of those who are owners, managers or foremen, must have proved a revelation. That the race does not contine its operations exclusively to the farm, but extends its operations practically to every other industry, is shown by the number employed, either as owners, managers, foremen or laborers, in the extraction of minerals and the like. Engaged in coal mining there are 40,623 members of the race employed. Of these twelve are owners or operators, two are officials of, companies, eight are managers or superintendents, 116 are bosses, foremen or overseers, seventeen are bookkeepers, cashiers or accountants, eight are clerks, four are drummers, one of whom is a woman; fifteen are electricians or electrical engineers and thirteen are mining engineers, the remainder of the more than 40,000 engaged in coal mining being distributed as laborers, car builders, machinists, drillers, drivers, motormen and the many other occupations associated with coal mining. In copper mining there are 282 members of the race engaged; none as owner, official, manager or superintendent, but at least one as a boss. In this branch of mining, however, there are three engineers who are identified with the race. In gold and silver mining there are 362 Negroes employed, two of whom are owners and four of whom are mining, civil or mechanical engineers, while the balance employed are distributed among the various other departments of gold and silver mining. There are 5,270 members of the race engaged in ore mining, fourteen of whom are owners or operators, one as manager or superintendent, nine as bosses, foreman or overseers, one as mining engineer and ten as stationary engineers, the remainder being mechanics, clerks, motormen, laborers and various other employees. Engaged in lead and zinc mining there are 27S members of the race, three of whom are mining or mechanical engineers, seven are drillers, and the remainder are laborers and skilled mechanics. Engaged in quarrying there are 10, 648 colored men, thirty-eight of whom are owners or operators, four as managers, thirty-six as foremen or overseers, four as clerks, fifty-eight as stationary engineers, two as inspectors, fifty-three as blacksmiths, seven as carpenters and the balance distributed among the skilled laborers and unskilled laborers, connected with quarrying. I have ascertained that in the oil and gas well industry there are 266 colored men employed, six of whom are owners, two as bosses, eight as engineers, eight as drillers, seven as tool dressers, the remainder being engaged in common labor or other occupations connected with drilling for oil and gas. In the production of salt, oil and natural gas—namely, employed in the factories or refineries—there are 208 colored men, one of whom is an owner, three of bosses or foremen, eight as coopers, while the remainder of the 208 employed are engaged as skilled and unskilled laborers and in other occupations required in the production of salt, oil and gas. In all there are 62,756 members of the race engaged in the extraction of minerals in this country, a number that testifies to the fact that the race continues its efforts to be one single occupation. Questions Candidates For Congress. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, New York, has sent the following questionnaire to all candidates for congress of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties: Will you if elected, vote against any measure abrogating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments? Will you vote against segregation in the federal service, presidential segregation in the District of Columbia, segregation in jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia? Regardless of whether you advocate racial intermarriage, will you oppose the passage of a law making such marriage in the District of Columbia invalid, since the enactment by states of such laws has led to the degradation of Negro women and children? Do you under any circumstances justify brushing? Do you favor the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution? The association requests an answer to the above from each candidate by Monday, Oct. 12. John Woodson Appointed Fireman. John Woodson, who recently passed a successful examination as a candidate for the New York fire department, has been assigned to duty by Commissioner Adamson. Mr. Woodson was third on the eligible list of civil service applicants. He will work on truck 100, at 124 Greenpoint avenue, Brooklyn. Mr. Woodson is perhaps the first Afro-American to receive an appointment to the fire department in New York city. New Branch of Advancement Society. The Newark (N. J.) branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held a big public meeting at the Bethany Baptist church in Newark. Thursday evening, Oct. 5, at which Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York was the principal speaker. Rev. Dr. R. D. Wyrum pastor of the church presided. The meeting was largely attended, and much enthusiasm prevailed. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Text of the Lesson, Mark xiv, 12-25 Memory Verses, 22, 23—Golden Text 1 Cor. xi, 26—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The record of this last evening on which He kept the passover and instituted what we call the Lord's supper is found more or less fully in each of the four gospels. Luke says that He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the passover," and that they said unto Him, "Where wilt thou that we prepare?" (Luke xxii. 8, 9). So should we ever ask Him concerning all our goings, and there is another question we should ask Him concerning all our doings, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" Acts ix. 6; for we have no wisdom concerning anything, but Prov. iii. 5, 6; Ps. xxxii. 8; Isa. xxx. 21. are a very great comfort. They needed no instruction to reach the city, so He said, "Rehold, when you are entered into the city there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water" (Luke xxii. 10). They were to follow him into a house and say to the good man of the house, "The Master saith, where is the guest chamber where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?" (Verses 13, 14; Luke xxii, 10. 11). It does not seem that the man bearing the water vessel knew what he was doing, but that he all unconsciously guided the men to the right house. We are often unconsciously guiding people rightly or wrongly, for "both He not see my ways and count all my gestures" (club xxxi, 4). The owner of the house must have been a disciple, for he understood and showed them the upper room furnished. Thus they found as He had unto them verse 16: see also Luke xix. 12. So shall we always find it to be just as He has said. The words translated "guest chamber" are found in only one other place besides this incident, and that is in Luke ii. 7. "No room for them in the inn." There they made ready the passover. What a privilege and honor and pleasure to make anything ready for Him! He you find it so! As He sat down with them in the evening. He said that He had greatly desired to eat this passover with them before he suffered, but that He would not eat of it again until fulfilled in the Kingdom of God (Luke xxii. 15-18). He himself is our passover sacrificed for us, but as there was a great deliverance of Israel from Egypt at the first passover there will be a greater deliverance of Israel at His second coming to set up his kingdom (Cor. v. 7, Jer. xxiii. 7, 8). After lesson verse 17 and this portion from Luke there should come in the incident of the feet washing, found only in John xxii. by which He taught them to humble to serve one another and the necessity of constant ceasing from earth's defilement. Then as they are the passover He said that one of them would betray Him and it had been good for that man if he had never been born. No one seemed to suspect Jesus Iscariot, for they said one by one, "Is it 17?" Simon Peter asked John, who was leaining on Jesus' poson, to ask Jesus who it was. He replied, "He it is to whom I shall give a sage if I have dipped it." He gave the sage to Judas Iscariot, and then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "That thou Then Jesus said to him, "That thou does, do quickly." Judas went immediately out, and it was night and has been right with him ever since. Before he went out he said, "Master, is it 1?" And Jesus said unto him, "That hast said" verses 12-1: Matt. xxvii. 25: John xiii. 25:30. According to our lesson, there followed the institution of the supper, by which, according to I Cor. xi. 26, we show the Lord's death ill. He come. The bread represents His body given for us and the wine His blood shed for us, and by believing we eat Himself as is examined in John vi. 47:54, where in the one verse eternal life is the result of believing on Him, and in the other it is the result of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, so that eating His flesh and drinking His blood is just believing on Him or, according to John i. 12, receiving Him. He said again in this connection that He would not drink any more of the fruit of the vine till he should drink it new in the kingdom of God (verse 25). He also spoke of appointing one twelve (some one taking the place of Judas Iscariot) a kingdom that they might eat and drink at His table in his kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke xxii. 25-30). Compare Matt. xix. 25. While He had before Him, knowing all things, the sufferings of Gethsemane and Calvary, they were selfishly talking of who should be the greatest, and Simon was saying that he was ready to go with Him to prison and to death, not knowing his utter weakness nor that Simon was asking for him to sit him (Luke xxii. 24-24). In His reference to swords He seems to me to be saying to them that if they could not trust Him when invisibly as well as when visibly with them they had better buy swords and take care of themselves. When He said that two swords were enough it is evident that He did not mean that each should have one. Connect John xill. 36-38. and xiv. 1. as if there were no chapter divisions and see how marvelous it is. AFFAIRS AT CORNELL Authorities Quash Attempt to Draw Color Line. Ithaca, N. Y.-The color line has again taken a serious turn at Cornell university. The object of race discrimination this time is Miss Adelaine Cook, daughter of Mrs. Catherine C. C. Cook of Washington. Miss Cook is a first year student and evinces an air of confidence, refinement and literary taste. Mrs. Cook preceded her daughter and on her arrival at the university engaged one of the best rooms. No objections were raised at the selection of rooms, but when Miss Cook arrived it seems that the word was passed around that a young woman apparently of the colored race had been enrolled as a first year student. Mrs. Cook alleges that five white girl students from the south are responsible for the unpleasant situation which confronts her daughter. She took the matter up with President Schurman and has also called the attention of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People to this alleged attempt to draw the color line in an institution which it is supposed knows no color or creed in its educational work. The complaint which Mrs. Cook laid before President Schurman is to the effect that the five white girls demand that Miss Adelaine Cook and another colored girl be denied rooms in Sage hall, a dormitory for girl students. She also alleges that those in authority at Sage hall suggested that Adeliaide Cook and the other colored girl room together, use a separate bath and a reception room downstairs. At a second conference on the matter the authorities refused to sanction any measure which would tend in any way to discriminate against any student on account of race or color. Up to the Author.

Many diseases are handed down to individuals from parent to parent, while again, through lack of training and knowledge, we acquire the germs of disease at first hand, and the process of destruction of the fine tissues of the body is begun, ending in misery and death. If you suffer from any wasting weakness—if you have any skin or blood disease, pain in bones, red spots, sore throat and mouth, painful swelings, kidney and bladder complaints, inflammation, scaldings, structure, grave, organic weakness, weak back, varicose, lost vitality, impaired memory, swollen parts, discharges, or any disease resulting from indiscretions or overwork—it must not be how long standing—be not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians and received no benefit.

The lack of increase is due to the fact that too many died of Tuberculosis during that period. STRENGTH & LIFE could have saved 85 per cent of those who died. Mrs. Susie Love, Rockville, Md. writes: "STRENGTH & LIFE is a remarkable medicine. It is helping me wonderfully. I walked out into the yard Saturday without a cane, after taking two bottles. That is something I have not done since I was paralyzed fourteen months ago." STRENGTH & LIFE prolongs life, and is SPECIFIC for lungs and nerves. The people who took it lived to see 1914.
