THEAFRICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO.12 President Takes Exception To Editors Sharp Criticism Of His Segregation Washington, Nov. 13—W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Gaurdian, had a run in with President Wilson regarding the segregation of colored employees in the government service Thursday. Mr. Trotter is secretary of the National Independent Equal Rights League. Representatives of the league filed a protest with President Wilson a year ago, regarding segregation and a few weeks ago another hearing was requested. Editor Trotter insisted to the President that segregation was wrong in principle and evoked an angry reply from the President who said that a study of the situation convinced him that separation was best for both races. The Associated Press gives the followins version of Thursday's conference in part: Mr. Trotter said in his address that his committee did not come "as wards looking for charity, but as full-fledged American citizens, voucheafed equality of citizenship by the Federal constitution." "Two years ago," said Mr. Trotter, "you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln." The President tried to interrupt, asking that personalities be left out of the discussion. Mr. Trotter continued to speak, and the President finally told him that if the organization he represented wishes to approach him again it must choose another spokesman, adding that he had enjoyed listening to the other members of the committee, but that Mr. Trotter's tone was offensive. The President told Trotter that he was the only American citizen who had ever come into the White House and addressed the President in such a tone and with such a back-ground of passion. Here Mr. Trotter denied he had any passion, but the President told him that he had spoiled the cause for which he had come, and said he expected those who professed to be Christians to come to him in a Christian spirit. Mr. Trotter continued to argue that he was merely trying to show how the colored people felt, and asserted that he and others were now being branded as traitors to their race because they advised the colored people "to support the ticket." The President spoke frankly, saying that if the colored people had made a mistake in voting for him they ought to correct it, but that he would insist that politics should not be brought into the question, because it was not a political problem. With some emotion he declared he was not seeking office and that a man who sought the office of the Presidency was a fool for his pains. SALOONS LOSE LICENGES Washington, November 12—The Jones-Works Law, limiting the number of saloons in the District of Columbia, to 300, has resulted in more than half the colored saloon-keepers losing their license. Among those affected are J Ottoway Holmes, whose place at 333 Virginia avenue, has made him to be regarded as a man who can count his wealth in four figures and Lewis P. Costley. There is no colored proprietor with a license near the Treasury Building now, neither are there any saloons in the populous nor hwest and south west sections. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1914. R. R. OFFICIALS MAKE PROMISES Important Conference Between Southern Railway Official and Committee of Physicians New York, Nov. 12—As a result of a conference between the Transportation Committee of the National Medical Association and representatives of the Southern railways in the future. The meeting which was held at the local office of the Southern Railway, was the result of an exchange of letters between Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, chairman of the executive board of the National Medical Association and H. F. Carey, of Washington, general passenger agent of the Southern Railway. Among the many things discussed were the indifference of ticket agents in accommodating colored patrons, the discourtesy of conductors, brakemen and other employees to the colored travellers dirty waiting rooms with inconvenient entrances and exits. The committee also condemned the poor car accommodation and the monopolizing of the coach set apart for colored people by newsboys, brakemen and conductors. The securing of meals and Pullman accommodations by colored patrons was also complained of. In answering these complaints, M.r Carey said that the President of the road had issued a special letter of instruction to all employees requesting them to be courteous to all passengers. He al so said that the railroad was building stations as fast as funds would allow, and that in most cases, the colored partons were well provided for. In reference to the poor car accommodations, Mr. Carey said; that the company was buying new cars and in them everything would be done to make the colored passengers comfortable. "One of the most difficult problems of the road, is the Pullman Car and dining car question", said Mr. Carey. "The Company has appointed a special committee, of which I am a member and everything will be done to ameliorate the present unsatisfactory traveling conditions in this branch of the service in the South". The various matters which came up for discussion were gone over in a frank manner by the members of the committee and Mr. Carey for the railroad officials in the same spirit assumed the committee of their willingness to consider anything brought before them in connection with improvement of the service. The members of the committee for the Medical Association were: Drs George E. Cannon, of Jersey City; W. H. Higgins, Providence R. I.; E. P. Roberts, of this city; nd W. G. Alexander, Orange, N. J. PROMINENT COUPLE TO WED Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Violet Hill to Mr. George Sumner Whyte at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday evening, November 25th. They will be at home after Sunday, December 6th, at 663 George street. The bride-to-be is the daughter of Rev. D. G. Hill, presiding elder of the Baltimore District of the A. M. E. Conference and a teacher in the public schools of the city. The groom holds a position in the custom House and is a well known Sunday School worker. WHITMAN FOR THE PRESIDENCY New York. Nov. 12—In the remarkable Republican landslide, which occurred on last Tuesday, there was one happening of particular importance to the Colored voter of the country and to the Colored Republican Leaders of the South, who will be delegates to the next Republican National Convention. District Attorney Chas S. Whitman, of New York City, who has a national reputation, was elected Governor of the Empire state in a fierce contest with Theodore Roosevelt. While the fight was under the surface, yet the result of the contest was looked upon by the far seeing Republican politicians of the East as determining which should be New York's favorite son and choice for the Presidency two years hence, Whitman or Roosevelt. Mr. Whitman not only decisively beat Mr. Roosevelt, who had stumped every portion of the state against him, but relegated his party to third place. In commenting upon this, Mr. Gilechrist Stewart, of New York City and who is well known all over the country, as Chairman of the Colored Republican Club of New York, and who conducted the work among the Colored voters, said: IS SOUND ON THE COLOR LINE IS SOUND ON THE COLOR LINE "Mr. Whitman's election as governor of New York is of vital importance to the Negro Race throughout the country. It means the dawning of a brighter political future. It brings upon the horizon a character who is as sound on the "Color Line" as Lincoln and who has the bull dog tenacity of Theodore Roosevelt; he is a radical without being ultra so, having the confidence of the conservative business interests; he appeals to the progressive sentiment of the country because he does not believe in injustice of any kind and at the same time he is a strong organization republican. He just fills the bill in every way for the next Republican nomination and I am anxious for my friends, all over the country and especially in those states in the South, were the colored men control the delegation to next. Republican National Convention, to intently watch his career and record as governor. There is not a man in the country who could be better suited for our interests to have in the nomination against Woodrow Wilson than Governor Chas. S. Whitman." SOLDIERS DO NOT DESERT. Washington, D. C. Nov. 12- According to the report of the Adjutant General of the United States Army, the regiments that had the lowest per cent of desertions during the year were the 10th Calvary, 9th Calvary and 7th infantry. The per cent of desertions among the white troops was 3.23 and that of the colored .64, a decrease among the colored troops as compared with the preceding year of .59. SMITH RE-ELECTED Hiram Holy Royal Arch Grand Chapter, at its regular annual meeting Wednesday night of this week elected the following officers: Com. Charles R. Smith, Most Excellent Grand High Priest; Com. S. George Wesley, deputy grand high priest; Com. George P. Langford, grand king; Com. W. W. Allen, grand scribe; Com. George A. Brown, grand treasurer and Thomas A. Dodd, grand secretary. HOT MEETING OF N.A.A.C.P. President Cardoza's Advocacy Of Retrenchment Policy Brings Sharp Retort From Attorney Hawkins The annual meeting of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was held in the assembly of Bethel A.M.E. Church last Saturday night, was one of the liveliest ever held in this city. Several heated arguments which at times took on a threatening aspect, made the meeting one long to be remembered. Following the election of Mr. Julius C. Johnson to fill out the unexpired term of Rev G. R. Waller, as a member of the Executive Committee, and the re-election of Mr. Bernard Taylor, for the term of three years, an attempt was made by W. C. McCard to place a woman on the committee in place of Mr. George B. Murphy, who is at present president of the executive committee. The attempt failed, however and Mr. Murphy was overwhelmingly elected. The election of Mr. W. Ashbie Hawkins as attorney, however brought on the storm. After Mr. Hawkins was nominated to succeed himself, Dr. F. N. Cardoza, president of the local branch suggested that it was not wise to elect an attorney again at a salary of $300, yearly, because it had been the cause of a great deal of dissatisfaction. He advocated the establishment of a legal committee to take charge of the work, and to employ lawyers as the cases might develop, and to pay them accordingly. He stated that he was actuated by no personal feeling against Mr. Hawkins, but thought in view of the war situation and other contributing cause it would be best to follow the lead of the central association and do everything to conserve their financial resources. He paid a splendid tribute to the efforts of Mr. Hawkins and the loyal manner in which he prosecuted the fight against racial discrimination. Mr Hawkins, in an impassioned speech claimed that the salary of $300 a year was a small compensation for work of that kind. He averred that the president of the local branch had his (Mr. Hawkins') name inserted in the Crisis in a secondary manner, and claimed that he would not have been reelected president of the local branch had he made such a speech before his ejection. The utterances of Mr. Hawkins caused a sensation. While the suggestions of Dr. Cardoza with reference to retrenchment were adhered to and the salary of the attorney cut off entirely, Mr. Hawkins was reelected legal representative. The following officers were elected for the year: Dr. F. N. Cardoza president; Miss Ethel Lewis, secretary; Miss Margaret Flagg, corresponding secretary; Dr. H. S. McCard, treasurer. CATHOLICS BUY SHARON C. Marcellus Dorsey, representing St. Joseph's Society for Colored Missions, on last Monday concluded negotiations with the trustees of Sharon Baptist Church for the purchase of the church edifice at Carey and Presstman streets. Mr. Dorsey states that this building has been purchased by the Catholic Church for the purpose of increasing the school facilities for colored Catholic children. The consideration involved in the deal was $10,000. PRICE THREE CENTS M. A. The Women's Auxiliary of the Maryland Home for Friendless Colored Children, located near Ellicott City, held a very successful donation party on last Friday. The various articles of groceries and clothing were deposited in St. James Church on Friday afternoon, and on the next day a wagon load of supplies was conveyed to the institution. The Auxiliary and their friends were conveyed to the home in one of Wilnide's large observation automobiles. Everyone was delighted with the trip, and the institution, which gave evidence of magnificent care. Miss Maud M. Ponton is matron of the Home; Miss Evelyn Mackal, president of the Auxiliary; and Miss Mary A. Bennett was chairman of the committee responsible for the whole affair. TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING A public meeting will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church Thursday night in the interest of the fight that is being made against segregation. The principle speaker will be ex-Congressman George H. White, of Philadelphia. Other prominent speakers will be Revs. A. C. Fitzgerald. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Baltimore Civic Rights Association which has charge of the fight and is being hended by Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald, who has charge of the legal end of the case, will probably file the injunction proceedings in the Federal Court some time next week. The case would have come up before, but owing to the absence of Judge Rose-in-New York, the proceedings were held up. It is important that the meeting be largely attended. NO DISCRIMINATION AT PROVIDENCE Y. M. C. A. Providence, R. L., Nov. 12- Leading colored residents are jubilant over the faction of the board of directors of the Young Men's Christian Association, in refusing to bar colored men from membership. The action of the directors was taken following the attempt on the part of some of the officials to bar colored members. In taking its stand against discrimination on account of color the board declared that laws of the Association which had made no distinction in receiving applicants because of race or sect for the past 60 years must be held to and that the only test of eligibility would be character and moral worth. Richmond, Va., Nov. 12—A hearing was held before the Public Service Commission Wednesday, urging that separate waiting rooms be provided for white and colored passengers on railroads, entering the city. New York Syncopated Orchestra Scores Artistic Success Before Appreciative Audience Quite a large number of Baltimoreans were delighted above measure by the performance at the Lyceum Theatre, on Thursday night. The famous Clef Club Symphony Orchestra of New York. The performance was a delightful one from the beginning to end, and when the audience filed out after listening to the strains of the Star Spangled Banner, with which the performance closed, everyone declared themselves perfectly delighted with the evening's entertainment. The Claf Club is one of the most remarkable orchestras in this country, and its effectiveness in power, wing and rhythm is simply wonderful. From the most diapason to the softest and sweetest strains was almost bewildering. The compositions were all of Negro origin, and several of them were conducted by the composers themselves. Mandolloins, hanjos, guitars, violincellos, double basses, pianos and voices all intermingled in perfect harmony and with a contagious swing that carried the audience at times almost off its feet. The whole soul of the musicians themselves seemed to be thrown into the performance, and the bend of the body and the nod of the head indicated that the musicians themselves were enjoying the music almost as well as the audience itself. The vocal part of the program was carried out by Meerss. Louis Mitchell, Thomas Fletcher, Emery B Smith, C. A. Rhone, Usher H. Watts and Frank Price, and their work was carried out in a masterful manner. Mr. Mitchell, whose voice enarmed the large audience last year, did not show up as well as before, owing to a heavy cold contracted on the tour. The rendition by Tom Fletche of "Wouldn't that be a Dream" and "Missionary Man" songs made famous by the late Ernest H. organ, and the work of C. A. Rhone, the society entertainer were easily the features of the evening. The lack of zest in the rendition of Will Marion Cook's songs, 'Exhortation' and 'Swing Along' might have been due to the lack of incentive, because of the small audience, or it may be that age has failed to lend enchantment to them any how, they did not seem to have the 'swing' that made them the feature of last year's program. James Tim Brymn, conductor, and Frederick M. Bryan, assistant conductor, acquitted themselves in a very acceptable manner, and their work deserves great credit. Taken as a whole the performance was a splendid one and deserved a larger audience. The mere fact that an organization of one hundred and twenty-five trained musicians can be gotten together and kept together is a feat of no small proportion. Added to the fact that they present a class of music of the highest quality and one can see why it is regrettable that Baltimoreans failed to attend Thursday's performance. Society was conspicuous by its absence. BUYS DERRICK PROPERTY Flushing, L. I., Nov. 12—Mina, C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, Ind., has purchased the residence of the late Bishop W. B. Derrick, at a considetion, of it is said of $40,000. Before coming east, Mrs. Walker will spend about $20,000 modeling Bishop's Court, a face is called. BIG CONVENTION OF BAPTISTS REPORTS SHOW PROGRESS. Nineteenth Annual Meeting Held in the Union Baptist Church More Successful and Harmonious In Its History—Large Sum Raised For Missions and Education. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York—The nineteenth annual meeting of the New York colored Baptist state convention and the thirteenth annual meeting of the women's missionary auxiliary to the convention were held in this city at the Union Baptist church, the Rev. Dr. George H. Sims, pastor, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2. The sessions were largely attended and a spirit of harmony and a desire to advance the work of the denomination throughout the jurisdiction of the convention were notable features at every session. The churches in Kings, Queens New York and Westchester counties sent large delegations, whose reports showed commendable progress in membership and finance as well as the amounts given for home and foreign missions and education. The showing made in the smaller churches was also encouraging in that many which only existed as missions a few years ago have become full defined members of the convention and have in the majority of cases well qualified ministers as pastors. The number of churches represented last year was sixty-four, and the number this year is much larger. The A. B. PRESIDENT GEORGE H. SIMS. amount turned in the first two days of the convention for home and foreign missions and education was over $900. The sessions were presided over by the Rev. Dr. George H. Sims, president, who held the large delegation down to business from the opening to the close of the convention. After the enrollment of delegates and appointment of the various committees President Sims delivered his annual address, which showed that he had a splendid grasp of the work and kept in touch with the churches and missionary societies the year round. The address of welcome on behalf of the city was made by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell's secretary, who bore the greetings of that official to the convention. The response was made by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn. Dr. Moss made a notable speech. In less than twenty minutes he gave in substance the working of the entire city government, its finance population both white and colored and emphasized the achievements and aspiration of the colored people as property owners and tenants, their efforts in education and their progress in religious culture. Dr. Moss' address was the topic of the convention for several hours after its delivery, for he was more than equal to the occasion. The delegation of visitors from the New Jersey Baptist state convention was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn, pastor of the Bethany Baptist church at Newark. Dr. Wynn made the address in behalf of his constituents in his usual forceful and witty manner which kept the delegates in an uprear of laughter most of the time. The delegation consisted of a dozen ministers'. Professor R. C. Wood-president of the Virginia Theological seminary and college at Lynchburg Va., and Professor Page N. Beverly of the Alpha institute at Newark. N. J. delivered addresses on education representing in the main the work of the schools, which are solely supported by the Baptist denomination. The introductory sermon was preached by the Rev. W. J. Lucas, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Flushing N. Y. Other speakers on the program for special sermons or addresses were the Rev. Moses Taylor, W. A. Campbell, W. P. Hayes, E. W. Wainwright Charles Sears, J. E. Robinson, L. G Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign board at Philadelphia; A. Clayton Powell and H. L. Jones. The Rev. George H. Sims, able president of the convention and pastor of the Union Baptist church for the past sixteen years, was born in Cumberland county, Va., in 1ST. He received his early education in the public schools of his native home. He was converted to eleventh years of age and was baptized by the Rev. John White, who was at the time pastor of the Tarwaltley Baptist church. He was licensed to presach in April, 1854, and was ordained to the gospel ministry at Nyack, K. Σ., Aug. 23, 1855. Dr. Stinns升官 at the Union Baptist church have been highly successful. Two splendid meeting houses have been erected by his direction since he reorganized the work in 1858. The first building, which is now used as a kindergarten and number's day nursery, was erected at a cost of $12,000, and the present church adjoices at a cost of $22,000. The kindergarten is in charge of a principal and two regular teachers, with an enrollment of fifty children. The membership of the church July 1, 1801, was ninety-two. The present membership is 2,000. The two buildings are valued at $100,000. As an organizer, financier and leader the Rev. Mr. Sims is recognized by the Baptist denomination in this section as among the most successful. He is not only interested in the religious features of race work, but is active in many other movements for the educational and material advancement of our people. The Sunday school of the Union Baptist church has an enrollment of 616 scholars and is possibly the largest in this respect of any school in Greater New York among the Baptists. W. H. Robinson is superintendent, and he shows much ability in his work. There are twenty-three classes and thirty-two teachers, with an average attendance of about 300 and an average collection of $20 per Sunday. So much pleased was the convention at the able management of the work during the past year by Dr. Sins that it unanimously re-elected him for the ensuing year. The other officers are First vice president, Rev. L. P. Kelsen, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church at Tarrytown, N. Y. second vice president, Rev. G. S. Fairliness, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. recording secretary, Rev. J. E. Robinson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. corresponding secretary, Rev. T. J. King, pastor of the Messiah Baptist church Yonkers, N. Y. treasurer, Rev. Granville Hunt, Mount Vernon, N. T. PROGRESS IN ATHLETICS. Four Titles Won by Colored Boys at Recent Championship Meets. New York—Recent performances of colored athletes in the metropolitan district of the Amateur Athletic union have attracted widespread attention, and should a corresponding progress be made by them in the next three or four years many issues now worn by white athletes will pass into the keeping of Negroes, says the New York Times. This success has been more noticeable this fall than at any other time, and the facts that four titles were won by colored athletes at the recent small titles championships, and Negroes were prominent in the point table of the metropolitan title meet have caused a bitter of excitement among the metropolitan athletes in the Amateur Athletic union. Nor is the present crop of Nerz runners likely to cease suddenly, for there are many promising colored boys in the public schools of Greater New York. Up to the present the colored athlete has devoted his attention to track events, especially in the sprints and middle distances, but with the growth of colored athletic clubs capable trainers will be secured and with systematic development in long distance events will be certain to bring out long distance runners and candidates for field hockey. From the days of William Morris of Pennsylvania, who was one of the best milers in college ranks twenty years ago, up to the present time a number of the best athletes in the A. A. U. ranks have been representatives of the colored race. John H. Tayler of Pennsylvania was the greatest quarter miler in his day. Cohen the colored weight thrower at Harvard enjoyed a national reputation. Howard Loomis, formerly of Springfield High school, now a student at the University of Southern California, is regarded as probably the equal of Applegarth of England. Dismond, formerly of the School Set Athletic club of Brooklyn, is one of the best quarter milers in Western college athletic ranks, while many others of lesser note have earned prominence by their speed on the athletic path. Due to the efforts of the late James E. Sullivan, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U., there has been a great revival of athletic interest in the southern schools, and with these in the east the struggle for athletic supremacy in a few years hence may be between white and colored men. Many of the colored athletes prominent in athletic circles were graduated from public schools in Greater New York, but mutilated former years, when promising colored athletes received little consideration or encouragement the student upon graduation can now join a colored athletic organization. There are three Negro athletic clubs in the metropolitan district, which are making rapid strides in the athletic world, and surely an open meet is now hold that does not find representatives of these clubs in the list of competitors. These organizations are the Salem Crescent Athletic club and St Christopher's club of New York and the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn. One of the most important indoor athletic meets of the winter season is held under the auspices of the Smart Set Athletic club, which is a growing and important organization. THE AFRO-AMERICA J LEDGER GREAT WORK OF BAPTIST WOMEN WHO THE OFFICIALS ARE. Interesting Career of Mrs. E. L. Wilson, Statistician of Largest Religious Body of Women Connected with the Baptist Denomination—Safe Leader and Friend of Young People. Mushogee, Okla.—Todd county. Ey. has furnished to the colored race and to the Baptist denomination of the United States one of the brightest women of the country. one who is devoting her life to the moral and intellectual upift of the race. She is Mrs. E. L. Wilson who is the statistician of the woman's auxiliary convention of the national Baptist convention, the largest religious body of women connected with any of the many conventions of the denomination. Mrs. Wilson is the wife of one of the leading preachers in the country. She was born in Todd county, Ky., on a farm and got her early school training in the public schools of that section of the Blue Grass State. When in the fifth grade of her studies Mrs. Wilson's parents moved to Kansas City, Mo., and she entered the M. E. H. MRS. Z. L. WILSON. public schools of Kansas City. After completing the grammar school she entered high school from which she graduated with honors. By her own industry she has made her way to the front rank among the women of thought and worth. She is especially gifted in music and has had a special course in music under Professor Gerald Tyler. Most of her work has been done in Kansas, but the entire country has recognized her ability from time to time by having her serve in prominent positions. The women's convention some time ago elected her to count the Baptist women of the country, and in this work she has made wonderful progress, furnishing historic data concerning the Baptist women of the country. During her stay in Kansas she held the position of recording secretary to the women's Baptist convention of that state, as well as recording secretary to the state Sunday school convention. She took delight in her work in the music clubs of Kansas City and was prominent in the work of the Young Women's Christian association, of which she is one of the organizers, and was also instrumental in bringing into it many young girls of the city. In her work in Kansas City she has accomplished great good. About a year ago her husband, the Rev. Dr. Wilson, was called to the First Baptist church of this city, and Mrs. Wilson entered into the work with him both in the city and the state, and her influence among the young people here is being felt. She is regarded as a model for the young women, who look up to her, honor and respect her and seek her for advice. In her report to the last session of the national Baptist auxiliary convention, among other things, she said: "The history of women's upilift movements for the past half century, viewed from whatever angle, has been nothing short of marvelous. While the two races in America have tried to find a common meeting ground, women have struggled with equal avidity to solve difficult problems. Orphan asylums, homes for the aged and infirm, institutions of learning, child labor laws. Young Women's Christian associations, homes for incorrigibles, abolition of slavery (both white and black), the juvenile courts, public play grounds, social centers, public baths. Women's Christian Temperance unions, suffrage, clean cities and a real civilization are some of the things to which they have put their hands that have produced a stronger and better womanhood." The work of the convention was reported by reviewing each year's work, and in summing it all up she said: "At the close of our fourteenth year as an organization some of the officers first elected have been for the fourteenth time re-elected. Among them are Mrs. S. W. Layton of Philadelphia, president; Mrs. P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, vice president; Miss N. H. Burroughs of Washington, corresponding W. A.

Having the example of the American people in its constant and regular celebration of the Fourth of July, the day of its emancipation from the rule of Great Britain it does seem just a little bit strange that our people take such little interest in a matter of which we were, if possible, more interested in than that of the American colonies. The fifty-second anniversary of the Emancipation proclamation occurs on the first day of January, 1915, and it is to be hoped that a celebration worthy of the occasion will be arranged by the citizens of this city in which all may take a part. It is a pity indeed that the actions of the committee from the National Independent Equal Rights League was such as to cause a rebuke from the president of the United States, even though that president be Woodrow Wilson. The incident is regrettable from the fact that the publication can do us no possible good, and the enemies of the race will make the most of it. Mr. Wilson is the president of the United States, and as such is entitled to all the consideration due his high office. Perhaps there has never been a president in the White House from whom the Negro has received such a set back as from President Wilson. Profuse in his promises to prominent Negroes from all over the country, receiving their vote because of these promises and then to turn his back upon them as he has done, is enough to stir the manhood in any race. While it is possible that Mr. Wilson deserved all that might have been said to him by Mr. Trutter, it was neither the time nor place. Mr. Wilson has proved himself to be a traitor, to be a receiver of goods under false pretenses, but the White House was not the place to tell him of it. We hope, however, that the lesson has not been entirely lost on either Mr. Wilson, the committee, or the country. A LOST OPPORTUNITY When the late Grover Cleveland assumed the oath as President of the United States he found thousands of his fellow citizens almost homeless and in utter despair. Many of those who had come up from slavery were still living, and there were fear and trembling upon the part of a considerable part of those people that the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland meant a return to slavery. But, the wise statesmanship and profound sympathies of Grover Cleveland were witnessed in bringing joy to the hearts of the most lowly citizens of the republic. Although not unner political obligations to the colored race, he soon convinced them that he was a man far removed from the littleness of ablind race prejudice. He not only appointed colored men to office, but had the courage to nominate colored men for places not hitherto filled by colored men. Now a quarter of a century after Woodrow Wilson, a man, supposed to inherit the very best qualities of head and heart possessed by the noblest men of the South, is not only elected to the Presidency by the votes of colored men, in doubtful states, but who before his election pledged the colored race "a square deal," and whose election was advocated by large numbers of the most reputable colored citizens of the country, because they really believed in him, has absolutely weakened and destroyed the confidence of the colored race in that representative section of white men in being trusted to do the fair thing by colored citizens. Mr. Wilson has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The recent election, in part, tells the story of disgust and disappointment. Thinking colored men were mistaken. They had hoped that Mr. Wilson's attitude towards the colored race would have been so just and straight forward as to persuade our people that their rights as citizens of this republic would be as secure under a National Democratic administration as under any other political administration. Mr. Wison, himself, has thoroughly convinced them of their very great mistake. The failure of Mr. Wilson in this matter as viewed from one standpoint is most calamitous. If Southern men of the education and elevation in character, of the type of Mr. Wilson, will treat so lightly the rights of colored citizens, then there can be no hope for a division of the colored vote among the several political parties. Mr. Wilson had the opportunity to demonstrate how justly and righteously the better class of Southern white men could satisfy the struggles and aspirations of the brother in black. This opportunity he has thrown to the winds, seemingly, unmindful of the terrible effect it must produce in imparting the confidence of the colored people in the best white men of the South. But, the fault is his, not ours. But, from the other point of view, the mistakes of Mr. Wilson, in this matter, is a great blessing in disguise. We are now convinced, absolutely that the National Democratic party can not be trusted to give us anything else then soul deal. Upon the Negro question it is perfectly immune to the truth. It is incapable of sanity of thought, and wisdom in action. Whatever colored men may do, in local affairs, in the north and west, of one thing they are now sure and certain—and that is, in a National contest, they must vote unitedly against every democratic nominee. They owe this to themselves; but above all they owe it to their brethren in the Southern States who are the suffering victims of Democratic disfranchisement and jim-crowism. Mr. Wilson has made for us an occular demonstration why all the Negro voters in Northern and Western States, should "hang together," and do whatever they can to defeat the Democratic machine. Failing to read, mark and learn, and inwardly digest the lesson the former president of Princeton College has taught us, we shall unmistakably "hang separately." It is no longer a question with us of "Progressive policies." It is the old fundamental question of being and status. Along this line we must fight it out. We are simply anti-Democratic. The one thing to do is to defeat the National Democratic party wherever it raises its head. The condition of our advertising columns for the past few weeks seem to show, that after all our people are getting wise to the fact that advertising does pay. Now while we are well satisfied with the amount of advertising business we have been doing, we are not altogether satisfied that our business men are taking as large an advantage of our advertising columns as they should. Comparatively few of our business men are advertising at all. Most of the churches and amusement enterprises find it pays and pays well to put their advertisements in the paper, otherwise they would not do so. Why is it that our business men are so slow to find out the advantages of good, well placed advertisement. No matter in what business you are THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER engaged you will find it to your advantage to let the people know it. As one man said, "What is the use of advertising, everyone knows I am here." To which the advertising manager replied that "While they might know it they would soon forget it unless he advertised.

A NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED One solid year in New York City is a record seldom established by any musical offering, no matter how many big stars are being featured. The more remarkable, then, is the year's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre of J. Lubrie Hill's Darktown Follies of 1914, recently completed and which is booked here Thanksgiving week at the Holliday Street Theatre. The only part of the original performance that was changed was one or two songs being introduced in place of others. More than 50,000 play goers of every nationality enjoyed the Darktown Follies during the New York run. CARD OF THANKS The Woman's Auxiliary of the Maryland Home for Friendless Colored Children take this means of thanking all persons who donated anything to the Home, or in any way assisted them in their effort to benefit the Home on Novebmer 7, 1914. Without your cooperation, and generosity the Donation and Outing Day could not have been the grand success that it was. We heartily thank you, one and all. The Committee Mary A. Bennett, Chairman. HOWARD DEFEATED BY LINCOLN Oxford. Pa., Nov. 12—Howard University went down to one of the most humiliating defeats in its history of the gridiron on last Saturday, in their annual test with her old foe, Lincoln taking the winning side of the money by the score of 12 to 0. The crowd which atteneded the game, was probably the largest ever gathered on Lincoln campus, numbering nearly 1500 enthusiasts, who came from New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Washington and Baltimore. The Lincoln rooters were ably assisted by a hand of 32 pieces from Wilmington. From the first blast of the whistle until the end of the game Lincoln was the aggressor, and at no time did Howard's chances look prosperous. In fact, so far superior was the lay of the Lincolnites that they all appear to be stars, when classed beside the loose playing of their opponents. The only time that Howard got within any distance of Lincoln's territory was in the fourth period when an attempt was made to double pass from the 20 yard line which was intercepted by Young, who ran 30 yards for a touchdown. The Lincoln rooters went mad with excitement. After this the Howard boys seemed desperately determined to score. A number of brilliant plays by Gilmore and Stratton, placed the ball on Lincoln's 20 yard line. But their hopes were blasted when Barnum intercepted a pass and ran the ball up to Lincoln's' 25 yard line from which place the ball was gradually worked back to Howard's 33 yard line, when the period ended. For Lincoln, the stars, of the game, were Captain Wheaton, the two Youngs and Pearson, although the work of White, Wallace and Truitt was exceptional Gilmore, Stratton and Brice showed up best for Howard. The officiating of the game was not the best that has ever been witnessed, and Howard seemed to have the best of argument on this score. The only penalty received by Howard during the game was 5 yards, while Lincoln was penalized 62 yards. The line-up of the teams were as follows: Lincoln - Center, Smith: left guard, Wallace; left tackle, Truitt; right gaurd, White, Robinson. Sommerville; right tackle, Burton. White, left end, U. S. Young, Carson, Anderson; right end, Barnum; quarterback. Young; right halfback Wheaton (captain); left halfback, Patterson, fullback, Wicks. Howard—Center, Beamon Crawford; left guard, Carter (captain); P. Jacob; left tackle, Randall; right guard, White, Franklin; right tackle, Matthews, leit end, Gilmore; right end, George; quarterback, Brice, Stratton; right half back, Bremen, Brown; left halfback, Grinage; fullback, Pendehuigh referee, Robinson, Oberlin; umpire, Scott' Hampton; head linesman, Beckett. Time of quarters 15 minutes. IN MEMORIAM PEAKER - In loving remembrance of my husband and father Joseph T. Pesker, who died one year ago, November 13, 1913. There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the widens of the sea; There is a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. CHALK-In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Henrietta Chalk, who departed this ife one year ago today, November 11, 1913. Gone but not forgotten. Over my heart, in the days that are flown, No love like mother-love ever has shown; No other worship abides and endures Faithful, unselfish and patient like hers None like a mother can charm away pain. From the sick soul and the world's weary brain Slumbers' soft calms o'er my heavy lids creeps Slumber and rest, mother, slumber and rest. By her daughter, Isabella White; son-in-law, Theodore White and great-grandson, Charles A. Smith, JOHNSON—I sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter, Mamie L., who departed this life four years ago, November 10, 1910 In sad memoriam these lines are napped By one who loved you best; To my dear daughter, who alas, Has gone to eternal rest. Four years we have grieved since we saw thy dear face. Or heard thy voice in our home circle place; And we wait in our tears, our devotion and love. Until we meet thee with Jesu in Heaven above. Sleep on my dear sister, your journey's not long, When we meet you in heaven in triumphant song. And happy will be in that harbor of rest, Safe in Jesus and all in the realm of the blest. By her devoted mother. Carr Jones nee Johnson, and the Family. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear father. George W. Gibson, who died eleven years ago today, November 15, 1914. Weep not that his toils are over, Weep not that his race is run, God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work like his is done. Till then we yield with gladness, Our father to Him to keep, And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth His loved ones sleep. HAWKINS—In loving remembrance of our mother, Mary A. Hawkins, who departed this life six years ago, November 3, 1908. Gone, but not forgotten O. mother dear, you were called away so sudden; Not even time to say good-by. But we know your thoughts were of us When God called you home o high. Six years have passed, our hearts are so sore, As time flies on we miss her more She sleeps, we leave her in peace to rest, As the parting was painful, but God knew best. You are not dead to us, dear mother, But as a star unseen We feel that you are near us, Though death intrudes between. Death has robbed us of our mother, Whom we loved and cherished dear; It was mother, yes, dear mother; Can we help but shed a ter? Yes, we miss her, oh, we mis her When we see her vacant chair, But how sad the home is without her For there is no mother there. By her devoted children Amelia F. Boardley, Newport, R.I. GARETT—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother Mary Arenna Garrett, who departed this life, 8 years ago, November 15, 1906. Mother is not dead but sleeping Beneath the earth's cold sod, We turn our mind from weeping And put our trust in God. O, may we meet our dear mother Where friends, no more shall ween Wm. H. Garrett, Alverta V. Garrett. In loving remembrance of my dear wife, who departed this life, November 10th, 1914. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Dearest loved one we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace But thy memory will be cherished 'Till we see thy heavenly face. By her husband, Gilbert Edwards GREEN—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear sister, Maggie Green, who departed this life, one year ago, November 11, 1913. In sad memoriam these lines are penned By ones who loved you best; To our dear sister who alas. Has gone to eternal rest. Sleep on dear sister, your journey not long When we meet you in Heaven in triumphant song And happy we'll be in that harbor of rest Safe in Jesus and all in the realm of the blest.

In reply to Bishop Coppin's denial of wild rumor I wish to say, no, he did not answer my communication, nor have I had a line from him, since Conference. But, some one has told a false or a truth. I was told by one doctor, who lives in this city, that the overtures had been made, if I would accept. That is, I would be given a first class appointment in the Philadelphia Conference, if I would accept. It was also told me by one of the trustees of Tripley Church, that he was in company with two Bishops on their way to Atlanta, Ga., and one of them wanted to know, what inducement would bring me back into the Conference and said, "Do you think, if I offered him Dr. Morsell's place, he would accept?" And the trustee said, "I don't think he would, because Rev. Christ has organized and incorporated an Independent Church." The Bishop told the trustee to talk to me, when he returned, but not to mention his name to me. Now, I wish to say in reply to all of this, that I have always tried to be truthful and honest and I have not got the time for controversy, because my obligations and responsibilities are so great. I have organized this Independent A. M. E. Church upon a price ple and upon this, we mean to stand. We are getting along nicely and have two hundred members and have over $955.00 cash. So you see we have not the time for coercion. I have no malice towards any and there is nothing in the A. M. E. Church, that I want. I am willing to live in harmony and peace with all, if they are willing to live in harmony and peace with us. We have organized this Church for the people of Baltimore. Anyone can join, who wishes to join. I shall not answer any more communications that shall appear in the papers. I would not answer this one, if it were not for protection of my honor. I wish to say, I left the A. M. E. Church as a man and my character was not stained with anblemish whatever. I did not write anything against the A. M. E. Church when I left and I think they ought to be satisfied. I am sure that the A. M. E. Church can be along without me, because I know its greatness and I can get along without it. So you all ought to be satisfied. Life is too short to contend over nothing. I am yours, Rev. L. C. Curtis. MAJOR MOTON'S OPTTMISM. Hampton Institute Official Emphasizes Co-operation Between the Races. Commenting on the conditions which confront the colored people in all sections of the country in their efforts to make progress, Major Robert R. Moton of the Hampton Va. institute says: "Even the casual observer must see that there is growing a spirit of real co-operation and sympathy between the two races in the south, and that never before has there been a more earnest and glorious effort on the part of both races for mutual help and cooperation." There is a growing and genuinely honest disposition on the part of the colored people everywhere to seek the advice as well as the assistance and cooperation of white people in every movement for the common good of the race. There is an increasingly strong feeling on the part of laborers and mechanics for unity and cooperation with similar groups of white artisans composed of whites, and the unions are seeing more and more the necessity for a closer union of the various classes of skilled workers, and this feeling will continue to grow as men become better trained, better educated and better Christians. "In educational matters also there is a growing sympathy and spirit of cooperation between the races. The Negro is calling on school officials for a fair and equitable distribution of school funds. He is asking for better schools, longer terms, better pay for teachers and better equipment. In many cases the Negroes out of their own earnings are buying land for the schools, often putting up the school houses. "Sometimes they supplement the pay of the teacher, this generally being done with the advice and approval of the local school officials, who are making appropriations for school purposes with a liberality such as was never before witnessed."

MAIL ORDERS NOW PRICES: NIGHTS, 15c. - $1.00 MATINEES 15c-50c HOW BIDWELL CAME INTO HIS OWN Rayburn College never had enrolled a colored student for the reason that one had never applied for admission. When Walter Bidwell came in September and passed his required entrance, examinations successfully he was promptly enrolled as a student. His advent caused no ripple upon the surface of collegiate life. The student body regarded him with indifferent curiosity at first and then took no further notice. He was not treated unkindly but was left severely alone. Bidwell was a chap whose self-respect was developed to an unusual degree. He was nineteen years years of age, short but stockily built and weighed one hundred and eighty pounds. He was passionately fond of athletics and was an adept at all games requiring great muscular activity. He had prepared for college at an academy in a distant State and this academy had long been noted for the prowess of its football eleven. Bidwell had been their star half-back for three years and his trusty toe had won many a hard earned victory. When his parents moved to the far West he came reluctantly, for several of the large eastern colleges had covetously regarded his work on the football field and made overtures for his matriculation with them. But this had to be given up and so Walter found himself in this Western school feeling somewhat lonely and with his athletic abilities known only to himself. One afternoon late in September, Ward, the football coach, was having a heart to heart talk with Strawn, the captain of the varsity eleven. Things were not going right and the two men were considering ways and means to better conditions. "It's this way," said Ward, "you have a good line of forwards, but your back field is rotten. Left half is fair, but right will never do; what can we do to plug that hole?" "Search me," replied Strawn bloomily. "Janney is a popular fraternity man and on that account, I hate to "can" him; but he can't play football. But who would we get to put in his place. We have reaked the college with a fine toothcomb and he's our only find." "And what a dub he is, too," said the other. "In that game with the farmers last week he invariably was hove back for loss. He's big and beefy, but a kindergarten kid could run him back." "I know it," assented the other. "We just might as well give up hopes of ever beating the State University with the bunch we have this season. This will be the third straight defeat for us from them. I would rather win that game than any of the others; in fact, I would [Image of a young child] [Image of a man's portrait] Hearst Era TIP MAGIC 15 91 1905 SHAMPOO DRIER CO.

ANNIE HAZELTON LEE be willing to lose all the others if we could only beat that bunch of conceived mutts from down the river—what" "You bet," replied the coach inlelegantly. "My kingdom for a half pack." "Say, old chap, look there!" he suddenly ejaculated, pointing out of the window. The other glanced in the direction indicated and then looked at his friend with doubtful inquiry. They had seen Bidwell come slowly down the walk and pass in the direction of the cornery. "He looks good to me," said Ward briefly. "Me too, but"— "O come off, if Harvard and William and Pennsylvania and Minnesota and Northwestern could play them why can't we of the smaller fry do the same, bey?" "Darn the fellows; leave that to me. Let's tackle him right away. He looks like the making of a player; see those shoulders and leg." Come on anything to beat the University," and grabbing their hats the two followed Bidwell to his room and knocked on the door. They entered, and accepting the police invitation to be seated, zezed with discreet curiosity upon the well furnished room. "We saw you crossing the campus and we thought we would drop in and see how you were getting along," began Ward. "Thanks, very kind of you, I'm sure." replied Bidwell. "Well, how do you like Rarburn" continue Ward. "All right; its a beautiful place with lots of class, and the fellows seem to be a pretty nice bunch." Mr. THOMAS BUTLER ear in conjunction with the Juven- his Theatre on November of the Day Nursery In spite of himself, Bidwell paid a slight emphasis on "seem;" for he had been desperately lonesome at times curing the past month. The two noticed the emphasis and flushed slightly. "I presume you are a loyal son of Raymond and would do and die for her, would you not?" smiled Ward. "Sure thing," answered Bidwell heartily. "That sounds good. Let me say that Rayburn and State University are deadly enemies. They have done us up several times but we won't stay done up. We've got the fighting spirit and we are going to beat them in the football game this year, if we can. We want all the likely football timber we can find. We noticed that you have never been out for practice. Have you ever played?" "Oh at a little school back east." "What position?" "Right half." Ward glanced at Strawn triumphantly in vindication of his own perspicacity. "Would you like to come out tomorrow and have a try at practice?" "I don't mind," answered Bidwell, "that is, if the fellows would like for me to. I don't want any misunderstandings though," be added insignificantly. "No, none at all," said the coach "Everything will be all right. Come down to the gymnasium t four and I will give you a suit." "I'll be there," answered Bidwell.

DEFENDS RIGHTS OF HIS PEOPLE Attitude of Y. M. C. A. Causes Heated Discussion. DR. A. J. GAREY TO THE FORE Widely Known Preacher and Champion of Legal and Equal Opportunities For Afro-Americans Questions Sincerity of Christian Body In His Home Town. Institution Faces Serious Situation. Chicago.—The Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church in this city, sent the following open letter to Mr. L. Wilber Messer, secretary of the Central Young Men's Christian Association, in reference to the association's attitude toward the branch of the association composed of colored men. Dr. Carey's letter: Chicago, October, 1914. Mr. L. Wilber Messer, Secretary, Central Y. M. C. A.; Chicago: My Dear Sir—I have been greatly interested in the controversy about the Y. M. C. A. ban on smoking, and my interest was intensified when I read in my signed explanation of the new rule which was published in the Chicago Tribune, the statement that the "test" of membership in the Young Men's Christian association is the moral character. It is a surprising statement in view of what I have heard concerning the Y. M. C. A. I have been told by young men of unimpeachable character that they have been refused membership in the Y. M. C. A. simply on account of color. I also know of the establishment in various parts of the country, including our own city of Chicago, of branch Y. M. C. A.'s for the purpose of providing for the men of further law and separating them from their fellow family beings as if they were lepers and unit to mingle with Caucasians, Indians, Mongolians and Malays, who are gladly received into the Central Y. M. C. A. I have also heard that any human being who is the member of my branch Y. M. C. A. has certain rights and is cordially received at the central organization unless he happens to have more or less Negro blood in his veins. If I have been misinformed regarding conditions I desire to be set right, and I also trust you will kindly answer the questions I shall ask. If a German, I mean an alien, who has not been naturalized, desired to become a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. would he be permitted to do so or would he be compelled to connect himself with the German branch regardless of his wishes in the matter? If a colored man living in the downtown district desired to become a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. could he do so, or would the authorities compel him to waste an hour to go four miles to the colored branch on Walsh avenue and Thirty-eighth street? Are the right of the colored men who are members of the colored branch, Y. M. C. A., identified with those of members of other branches? Are they as cordially received at the Central building on Lasalle street and treated with the same consideration as other nationalities? Are there branches of the Central Y. M. C. A. organized in Indian, Mongolian and native races? Are not branches organized for the various European nationalities chiefly in account? If so, what was it necessary to provide a separate building for colored men, of whom 50 percent are American born and who speak the English language? Admitting that many colored men really believe that the separate organization on Wabash avenue is a power for good, that it is better to have such a branch than not to be admitted at all and that many colored men are glad to meet and mingle with others of their class, is it not a fundamental fact that caste caused the organization of the branch, and is it not un-Christian (if it is done to our few colored men who may that it convenient to become members of the Central Y. M. C. A. or branches located near their residences that the colored branches? I read with great interest the letters you sent back to the Chicago papers while you were touring the world and in the third letter, published in March 3, if you give me a copy of your study and conviction of your study and travel in India and you speak of "caste," which is described as "the most disastrous and blighting of human institutions." You say that the Christian church has $20,000 converts in India and that its mission is to break down caste, and you say the people readily respond with their hearts to the gospel of Christian brotherhood. If caste is a "dissustrous and blighting institution" in India and one which the Y. M. C. A. is trying to break up, why does the Y. M. C. A. uphold and perpetuate a system of caste in the United States? In spite of the fact that many colored people favor separate Y. M. C. A.'s and contribute to their support, does not such separation eventually work to the injury of the Afro-American people? Is not the Y. M. C. A. a semipublic institution, and is not the existence of a separate branch for a class of people who are not African-American? Image of the country disrecer to democracy, and ought it not to cause a blush to come to American Christianity? Is it not a fact that the existence of a color line in the Y. M. C. A. is often used as a justification for segregation in public places and public institutions? Does it not finally lead to injustice in every relation of life, to residential segregation, to disfranchisement and the denial of every civil right? Does it not tend to make the Afro-Americans a partial class shunned and despised by all other classes? If there is the slightest difference in the treatment of the various races and nationalities by the Central Y. M. C. A., has the organization the right to use Christian as a part of its title? Now, after fifty years, in face of the marvelous progress of the Afro-American people, it is possible that the Y. M. C. A. in America seeks to encourage the perpetuation of that "most disastrous and blighting institution"-caste? The A. M. E. church of which I am a member was organized as protest against jimcorwism. Because the uxcellent uxcellent American Christians (?) of a colorful age discriminated against their colored proglossionist our church came into being, but we do not discriminate against the people of any race or nationality. The white man, the black man, the red man, the yellow man and the brown man are all welcomed, and it may surprise you when I state that thousands of Caucasians, both men and women, are members of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I am seeking the light and the truth. Please answer my questions carefully, and if I have erred in any statement I desire to be corrected. Yours sincerely, A. J. CAREY. Bage Foundation Favors Like Standard of Dwellings For All. Springfield, Ill.-In his report of the housing survey of this city for the Sage foundation Mr. John Hilder of the National Housing association highly commends the most approved type of houses. But there are many features concerning which Mr. Hilder does not speak so favorably. He says if Springfield is to remain what it now is, a city of homes, it must take other measures than merely discouraging barrack construction. Plenty of pure water and sanitary facilities are a necessity. He says: "In the districts where the colored people are in the majority bad housing features are among the most serious in the city. This is usual in cities that have Negro districts. Houses are more dilapidated, water supply and toilets more inadequate, everything in a more rundown, shiftless condition. Part of this may be due to the character and habits of some of the Negro people themselves in just the same way that bad living conditions among the whites are often due to shiftlessness. But there is no question in the minds of those who have studied Negro housing that a large proportion of these people desire better homes than those they are able to obtain in most of our cities. "One who has inspected many Negro homes cannot but be impressed by the evident desire for cleanliness and order that many of the housekeepers show, even under the most discouraging conditions. My own impression is that where conditions are approximately equal the homes of Negroes are cleaner and better kept than those of several nationalities among our recent immigrants. "But the Negro suffers under severe handicaps. He is usually segregated, if not by law then by custom, in the poorest part of a town. Being so confined, he is more easily exploited by his landlord, who implies to give less and charge more than he would in the case of white tenants. I was told that this is the situation in Springfield, although my stay was so short as not to allow the statement. If it is Springfield is not unique. The same situation is to be found in other cities. But that is no excuse for letting it continue. "Nor should the white citizens of Springfield persuade themselves that to improve housing conditions in the Negro district will be a purely militaric endeavor. We have learned enough in the past few years to know that if any part of the city suffers the other parts will suffer with it. Disease and immorality in the Negro district will have its effect as far away as the extreme borders of the community. To safeguard itself Springfield must get minimum housing standards that could apply to every dwelling in the city." FISK UNIVERSITY OPENS. School Which Jubiles Singers Hitetod Make Famous Begins Driskle. Nashville--Fisk university has begun its forty-fifth scholastic year under auspicious circumstances. The enrollment is large for the opening, having 464. Last July the trustees appointed Dr. C. W. Morrow, who has been dean for the past year, as acting president, and under his leadership things have started off in good order. A special feature of this year's opening is the social service training course, which is being conducted by the university in cooperation with the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and the Women's Missionary council of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Three college graduates have enrolled in this new training course, and several courses have been elected by members of the senior class. The course covers fifteen hours of post graduate work, including principles of sociology, practical sociology, methods of investigation, history and life of the colored race. Eight hours of required field work in addition are carried on in connection with Bethlehem House, a social settlement in one of the districts of Nashville. The course is based on the regular college course and is the outgrowth of the emphasis the university has laid on social science. Negro history and Negro life, which have been taught for the past years in the department of social science. The course is under the direction of Dr. George E. Haynes, assisted by Miss Ellie A. Walls of the university faculty and Miss Estelle Huskins of the Methodist Episcopal Training School South. Several other members of the university faculty will assist in the teaching and a number of well known experts on social problems will appear during the year in a series of lectures on such subjects as health housing, delinquency, relief etc. These lectures and some of the courses will be attended by members of the junior and senior classes. A special feature of this year's program was a memorial address by Professor T. W. Tally on the life of Mr. Ella Sheppard-Moore, one of the original tubilee singers, who died last June.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xiv, 53, 54, 66-72—Memory Verses, 71, 72—Golden Text, I Cor. x, 12—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. A few weeks ago we saw in the story of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, God and the devil face to face; now we have the same Lord Jesus in the hands of His enemies and the strange conduct, or, rather, misconduct, of one of His most favored disciples. All who are not saved are lost, but He came to seek and to save the lost. When any lost one is convinced of sin and truly receives the Lord Jesus Christ they become saved ones, and all such are equally saved; no one is more saved than another, for all have the same Saviour and the same salvation. But the experience of such as are saved is very varied, and the rewards will be according to service. Some follow fully as did Caleb and Joshun, while some follow afar off like Peter in this lesson. Some utterly renounce the world, the flesh and the devil, while some are more or less conformed to this present evil age. Some have no confidence in self and lean wholly upon the Lord, but others are too often self confident as Peter was when he said, "I will lay down my life for Thy sake" (John xiii, 37). When the band of soldiers took Jesus and led Him away Peter followed-Him afar off, even unto the palace of the high priest, and sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire (verses 63, 54). The record in John xviii, 15, 16, is that Peter and John both followed Jesus, but John being known to the high priest went into the palace, but Peter stood at the door without until John spoke unto her that kept the door and brought in Peter. There is growth in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, a blessed experience, of which Peter speaks in the last verse of his second epistle (II Pet. iii, 15). There is also a possibility of a growing departure from the Lord, even in the case of a saved person, and that the saved one enter the kingdom saved as by fire (I Cor. iii, 15: v, 5), but according to the words of the Lord Jesus Himself it is impossible that a saved one should ever perish (John x, 28). Peter's downward steps as a displebe seem to have been his self confidence and consequent thundering, his following afar instead of fully, his sitting in the company of the servants and warming himself at their fire, followed by his profanity and base denial. Earlier in the record we hear Peter advising the Lord not to speak of suffering, but rather to pity Himself; on which occasion he was told that it was Satan speaking through him and that he savored of men rather than of God (Matt. xvi, 21). On this occasion he was again in the hands of Satan to be sifted, but our Lord had prayed for him (Luke xxii, 31:31). Peter learned by bitter experience something of the wiles of the devil and therefore could write all the more forcefully "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, as a coarring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour, whom resist sieudfast in the faith" (1 Pet. v. 8, 9). The true Christian life is the "Not I, but Christ," "Not I, but the grace of God" attitude. No confidence in the flesh, but rejoicing in Christ Jesus (Gat ff, 20; I Cor. xv, 10; Phil. iii, 3). The company of the ungodly is no place for a child of God, and it is not for us to walk or stand or sit, with them. We do not need the warmth of their fire, but by meditation on the word of God may have such a fire in us as the disciples had with whom the Lord walked to Eumann (Ps. i. 1. 1; xxxix, 5; Luke xxiv, 32). Unbelievers have a great many warning up places, such as the theater, the dance, the card table, and too often those who profess to be Christians, and perhaps are, may be found in such company and yet do not hesitate to sing, "Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in Thee I find." We should be careful to sing the truth as well as speak the truth, for only as we do this is it real worship. That Peter should be ashamed or afraid to confess Christ before these servants seems pitiful indeed. I judge from his cursing and swearing that he was probably given to prefamility before he began to follow Jesus, and this was a sudden outbreak of the old nature which remains in us as long as we stay in these moral bodies and concerning which we are said to be always delivered unto death (11 Cor. iv. 10. 11; Rom. vi. 11). What a look of love and pity and sorrow it must have been that Jesus gave to Peter and which sent him out to weep bitterly, for he was evidently where Jesus could see him (Luke xxii. 61, 92). It would be well for us if we would always remember that those same eyes are ever upon us, searching us through and through, and live by the well of Him that liveth and seeth me (11 Corv. 9: Gen. xvl. 13, 14 margin). Contrast this same Peter, spirit filled, in the presence of the high priest and the council, hold as a lion (Acts iv. 5-13, 10, 20), and let us be so filled. Any fear of man is an indication that the Spirit is not for; the time being controlling us. The fear of man bringeth a snare, but in the fear of the Lord is strong confidence. 531 Presstman Street Phone Madison 1463 Y "Hair Dresser to Society" Of course there are other Hair Dressers BUT ONLY ONE POINDEXTER EXPERT MASSAGING AND MANICURING 833 DRUID HILL AVE.

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 swellings, kidney and bladder complaints, inflammation, scaldings, stricture, gravel, organic weakness, weak back, virecile, lost vitality, impaired memory, swollen parts, discharges, or any disease resulting from indiscretions or overwork—it matters not how long standing—be not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians, and received no benefit.

Stention this paper when writing Nerve—Lung—Tuberculosis LIFE & HEALTH—NO CONSUM TION The 1910 Census showed that the colored population was at the same ninety million mark as in 1900. The lack of increase is due to the fact that too many died of Tuberculosis during that period. STRENGTH & LIFE have saved 85 per cent of those died. Mrs. Susie Love, Rockville, writes: "STRENGTH & LIFE is a markable medicine. It is helping wonderfully. I walked out into yard Saturday without a cane, taking two bottles.
