THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER PREPARING FOR 500,000 VISITORS AT THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION VOL. XXIII. NO.51 Commission Completing $25,000 Fund Necessary For The Appropriation of An Additional $25,000 EXHIBITS FROM MANY STATES Cardinal Gibbons, Jane Addams, and Other Prominent Citizens Honorary Presidents Chicago, August 12.—The commission in charge of the exposition that will be held here from August 22 to September 16, commemorating the progress that the race has made since emancipation was kept busy this week securing funds to complete the $25,000 necessary to secure a similar condition as offered by the legislature of the State. The legislature gave $25,000 in 1912 and last year appropriated a like sum on condition that the commission raise a similar amount. The exposition will be held in the Coliseum. A large statue of Abraham Lincoln will occupy the place of honor. Around the statue, which will be illuminated will be the exhibits of more than 350 educational institutions in the United States. Besides these hundreds of individuals will exhibit paintings, inventions and other works of the colored race More than $85 000 as been expended thus far in collecting and preparing the exhibits, which will depict the progress of the race since the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. WILL SHOW NEGRO PROGRESS Wisconsin gave $2,500 for its exhibit, Michigan, $5,000, Ohio, $5,000 and New York $7,500. The national government also has contributed. One thousand dollars was appropriated by the Chicago Board of Education to prepare an exhibit showing the work of the colored children in the public schools. Thirty-two states will be represented in the exhibition besides the governments of Haiti and Liberia, the Roman Catholic Church, the Board of Freedmen of the Presbyterian church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, the National Baptist Association, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Episcopal church and other religious and political and industrial bodies. EXPECT 100,000 VISITORS. The exhibition will bring to the city twenty-five conventions of national Negro organizations having constituencies numbering more than 500,000 persons. It is expected that the exposition will bring more than 100,000 visitors to the city. The project has been promoted by the State of Illinois. A commission consisting of the governor and eight other persons, was authorized by House Bill 919, approved by the governor on June 27, 1918, "to arrange for and conduct during the year 1915, at a place to be selected by said commission, an exhibition and celebration to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the treeing of the Negro from slavery. Such exhibition and celebration shall be so conducted as to show the industrial, educational and religious progress of the Negro inhabitants." MAKE TWO APPROPRIATIONS An appropriation of $25,000 was set aside by the legislature to carry PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. out the purpose of the commission. A further appropriation was made at the last session to enlarge the scope of the exposition on condition that an equal amount be raised by 'subscriptions, leases, concessions and from other sources and paid in cash to the treasure of the commission by said commission up to August 5, 95. Bishop Samuel Fallows, who is president of the commission, yesterday expressed enthusiasm over the prospect for a successful exhibition and enumerated the achievement of the commission since it was organized two years ago. THESE SHOW INTEREST Cardinal Gibbons is one of the honorary presidents of the commission. Others among the 500 persons who hold similar positions or serve on the advisory council are Miss Jane Adams, Bishop Charles P. Anderson, Governor Bass, of New Hampshire, Judge Brentano Governor Bryne, of South Dakota, Andrew Carnegie, Dr. Frances F. Clark, Shelby, Cullom, Senator Albert M. Cummings, Dr. Ozora S. Davis, Ex-Governor Charles S. Deneen, Governor Eberhart of Minnesota, Dr. James M. Gray, Dr. Frank W. Gunsalus, Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, Maclay Hoyne, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, H. H. Kuhlsaat, Colonel Frank O. Lowden, James R. Mann, Bishop William F. McDowell, Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, Rabbi Joseph Stolz, Dr. John Timothy Stone, and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. COLORED CITIZEN FOR BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS Public sentiment on the question of a colored representative on the Board of School Commissioners, at any time ready to burst into flame because of the inability to secure an adequate building for the Colored High School, received a new impetus recently in the Board's difficulty. in choosing names for the colored schools. It was felt that a colored representative would have stated clearly the wishes of the schools themselves, and answered many questions as to the fitness of the names suggested. References of certain members of the board to the patriot Crispus Attucks as a 'rabbe rouser' and, to Congressman Elliott, of reconstruction fame, as a carpet bagger, called forth resentment, that was particularly bitter. The resignation of Henry Joesting, Jr., at the last meeting of the School Board, creates a vacancy that has awakened a new interest. Letters have been sent by prominent citizens to Mayor Preston, who has the power to appoint all members of the School Board, and it is hoped that sufficient influence can be brought to bear, so that a colored citizen will be appointed to take the place of Mr. Joesting. SOCIAL EVENT AT ROCKS. Rocks, Md., August 12.—Mr. and Mrs. George W. Title gave a social party on Tuesday evening, August 10th, in honor of their daughter, Eva B. Title.

Church, are trying to trump up white slave charges against him, it is claimed. His traveling secretary, Miss Beatrice Chiles, was arrested here a week ago and lodged in jail. Efforts by the United States authorities to fix such a charge against the prelate, resulted in the young woman being released on bond pending a further investigation. The friends of William T. Vernon, recently ousted from the presidency of Campbell College, deny that they are sponsor for such charges. Rev G. R.

Among the 500 or more who attended the session were a number of right eminent grand commanders past grand high priests, past grand masters, grand masters and other Masons of high degree. The visiting Masons were entertained in high style by Medina Temple, of this city, and as the Mystic Shriners left for their homes in various sections of the country, they gave a fond farewell to Manhattan and its hospitable citizens. The annual address of the retiring imperial potentate Noble John H. Murphy, of Baltimore, was receive with great applause and extracts thereof were ordered to be printed and sent to Temples in various sections of the country. Noble Murphy, who served two years as imperial potentate, was given the honors of a past imperial potentate, and was also voted a fine gold watch. The same will be suitably inscribed within, while outside of the case will contain the insignia of the Mystic Shrine. Much regret was expressed at the inability of Mr. Murphy to attend the sessions. Past Imperial Potentate Eugene Phillips, of this city, who presided, was commanded for the admirable manner in which he wielded the gavel. Officers were elected as follows: George W. McKoin, St. Louis, imperial potentate; Clarence Dunlop, Indianapolis, deputy imperial potentate; Jordan M. Morris, Minneapolis, imperial chief rabban; Caesar A. Blake, Jr., Charlotte, N.

PRICE THREE CENTS NEW PRESIDENT OF HAYTI ELECTED U.S. MAY NOT RECOGNIZE GOVERNMENT Washington, August 3—According to reliable authority the United States will not recognize the new government in Haiti until it feels reasonably sure of its ability. While the majority of Haitians are opposed to the United States assuming some sort of protectorate over it, relief is growing that this government will attempt to do so. Dr. W. E. B DuBois, editor of the Crisis has suggested to the State Department that a commission be sent from this country to study DR. W. E. B. DU BOIS. the situation and map out a plan that will make for stable government. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post and others are said to favor Dr. DuBois' suggestion. Precedents for such a move are cited in the collections of the customs of Liberia under American authority the same in Liberia the semi-protectorate in Nicaragua and the watchfulness with which the United State looks after Cuba through the provisions of the Platt Amendment. American capital is largely invested in the new national railroad and other enterprises, and the fact that the United States does not want European nations to gain a foothold create a desire to control Haitians through some sort of treaty arrangement. Whether or not Haitians will consent to such an arrangement is a matter of speculation. Dr. Bobo, the revolutionary leader, is regarded as being opposed to American control, and President Sam was assassinated by those opposed to such. The Haitian Minister to the United States, M Solon Menos, has been in close touch with the State Department regarding the situation in his country. He is said to be apprehensive of the United States assuming any control that will be distasteful to his countrymen. It seems, however that the United State will look after Haitian interests for months to come, and that the marines will not be with drawn for some time. American investors in Haitian resources may demand that this government wrest a treaty giving it control. General Sudre, d'Artinguenave Former President of the Senate, Elected Chief Port. An Prince, Haiti, August 3.—Gen. Sudre d'Artinguenave, president of the Haitian Senate, was elected president of Haiti yesterday. He received 72 out of 116 votes cast in the Haitian Congress. He succeeds President Guillaume Sam, who was killed in the revolution two weeks ago. Others who were voted for were Luxembourg Cauvin, who received 14 votes; Emmanuel Theszan, 4; and Dr. Rosalvo, revolutionary leader, 3. While the election was quiet, it is thought that there will be some opposition, and the United States marines are prepared to meet such a contingency. BISHOPS COUNCIL OF THE ZION CHURCH IN SESSION St. Louis, Mo., Auk. 13.—The semi-annual session of the Bishop's Council of the A.M.E. Zion Church which is being held at Washington in Metropolitan A.

Of this amount, Jackson says $11,000 went to the publishers. FUNERAL OF SAMUEL J. BRIGGS The funeral of Samuel J. Briggs, who died suddenly Monday was held at Union Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon.

Preach- ing the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Redeemer of man- ‘kind and urging a strict adherence to the Ten conimandments of GOD it is a Light in the midst of a crooket and perverse generation. What is there in the followers of God that will make them deny the Word of God the Bible? Never will that unity come to mankind until they yield their hearts unreservedly to GOD their Creator In vain do they worship ME, teaching for doctrine the command- ments of men. But what are the jcommandments of men? Anything that is not commanded or written to ug in the inspired Word. When men come together wholly and solely believing in one Lord, One Faith and One Baptism they will be making up that church without spot or wrinkle, or blem- ish; the church will be looking for the soon coming of Our Saviour, as it is clearly revealed in the Bible Prophecies, We can ask you like Pau! did King Agerippa: “Believest thou the Prophets?”’ Yea 1 know that Thou Believest.’’ Jn Amos the third chapter, the event verve we read: “Surely the Lord will do NOTHING but that He revealest His seeret to His servants the Prophe:s."’ ‘*We as 2 people believe this and [was proud to be identified witha church whose [members are not going to be de: stroyed’ because of the lack of knowledge of the True Word aa is revealed in your and my bible.

They have read the Bible and are con- vineed that_the things preached by these men are from God, and are convinced that they should have entered the latter day Ark of Safe- ty, even placing their all upon the blood-stained banner of Christ, upon the Solid Rock; entering in ‘through the only way prepared for man by the Lord Jesus Christ. Come to the Pennsylvania ave- nue tent where the Gospel is being preached. ‘Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good.’” I heard the Iwo Brothers give a brotherly invitation to any minister to ecme and prove that they are deceiving the people or that the things preached are not in God's Word as they are preached. Prove to the people that the Seventh Day is not the Sabbath if you can, that the Law of God m Exodous 20, is not now in force and explain why it is repeated every Sunday in all the Christian Churches, if it is no goad. | have heard this challenge given for tne last sine years that 1 have been connected with this church and no one by the Word of God has as yet been able to do so.

BALTIMORE, AUG. 14, 1915 That thou mayst wear, the coming years like roses the roses Must forgotten midnight their fragrance care And for each pint of sorrow life imposes a peck of joy and bliss without one care. Without the thoms, rose were not worth the winning Without the sorrow years a monotone; Continues in monotone upon the heels of striving. To strive in rich measure life our own. The thou hast learned the full of what time offers thou thy days without a care Not less of woes, but greater strength to bear and men must love to contented her: WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOT VOTE Of all the ills that Adam missed Of the thousand I might quote, He never did discuss with Eve. Why woman shouldn't vote. Our original paternal ancestor might well have considered himself happy that no such question came to disturb the quietness of his paradise. His priority of birth settled all such likely outbreaks without any recourse to the Declaration of Independence or Suffragists' Handbook. The symposium on Woman's Suffrage in the current issue of the Crisis resembles this Adamistic point of view in its one-sidedness. Coralie F. Cook, Mary Church Terrall, Nannie H. Burroughs, Mary F. Clifford, Bishop John Hurst, Francis J. Grimke and others are the contributors and the burden of their plaint is "the argument is all for Woman's suffrage." Those who argue against the extension of suffrage to women say one of three things—either woman is not intellectually able to react upon q estions political, or that in entering into politics to reform them she will lose something of the fineness and delicateness of her own character, or that in opening up a field of activity which may in the slightest degree take her attention from the home we encourage her in another than her natural sphere. In answer to the first objection Dr. Grimke says: the average man is not superior to the average woman in point of intelligence. Dr. Grimke is undoubtedly right; education for women in this country has gone on side by side with the education of the men, and today our elementary schools are attended more largely by girls than by boys. Speaking to the second objection, it is admittedly true that the average woman is the superior of man in character, but only so because in large measure she has been shut up in a "Doll's House" away from the large field of temptation. As adviser, homekeeper, comforter and mother, her field has been the home and her world the inner one. There she has developed the larger sympathy, the broader love and the finer touch that man has lost in contact with the struggle for existence. As soon as there is identity in the life of the sexes, differences of character must disappear. Suf frage for women does not necessarily mean this, altho it points in this direction. It does mean the creation of an interest in and an appreciation for public problems especial was they affect the home, and a lever to set them aright when they go wrong. The end is not the milk-and-water but the cultured woman. No class of people can proscribe the territory in which another class is to work its destiny. Before the civil war many sootherners opposed emancipation of the slaves because freedom meant an end of free labor. The whites that themselves able to think for the Negroes. They preferred to sacrifice the freedom of race in order to keep it in what was considered its sphere. Those who object to votes for women would sacrifice the political rights of the female sex because they have another conception of what their chief function should be. And then the eight millions, who have no homes—the workers, winning their bread daily by the side of the men, what of them? Shall they continue to be taxed and mis-represented? Woman's suffrage must come eventually just as full Negro suffrage must come because it is founded on the highest sanction in democratic government--the consent of the governed. Thus far we are in complete agreement with the contributors of the Crisis. Here we part with them. We do not see that universal suffrage is the remedy for all the illies we now suffer. We ought to recognize that its coming is not to revolutionize our politics; first, because some time must ensue before the masses of the women will take advantage of the franchise; and secondly, because their slight superiority in character will be neutralized by their idealism and lack of practical business sense. THE IRISH AND THE JEWS. The position of the Negro, the Irishman and the Jew in America, England and Russia as a nation within a nation, a smaller part whose physical characteristics easily distinguish them from the larger whole, enabling the hatred and the fear, which we term prejudice, to be visited upon them in larger measure than is possible with other portions of the population, creates for anyone of them problems that may face the others; nor can the problem and its solution be disgarded by the others. The Irish and the Jews at present find themselves as a part of the warring nations in Europe, and their conduct in defense of the land they call their own, and the result of the war upon their condition cannot fail to be of interest to the Negro in America. At the outbreak of the war, t the world was astonished by the dramatic utterance of John Redmond, Irish leader in Parliament, whose pledge of a united Ireland for England followed so close upon the heels of the threatened Irish rebellion. Since that time the patriotic statements of the Irish press and the meritorious conduct of Irish soldiers in the war have spread the feeling that all of Ireland was in fact, willingly and earnestly behind John Redmond. If Seuas MacManus, noted Irish writer, if a statement in the New York Sun is to be believed, the very contrary is to be accepted as true: only the subsidized English press has been allowed to speak since the opening of the war, nationalist papers having been seized or suppressed, three Irish leaders have been banished for anti-English propaganda, and recruiting within Ireland "has been a tragic failure." Israel Zangwill in the August number of the Metropolitan magazine might be said to give us the last word on the Jewish side of the question. The Jews entered the war not to earn equal rights, but because of their burning feeling for Russia. They have been in Russia as long as the Slavs and feel themselves as indissolubly bound to the soil, and as deserving of equal consideration. "We shall fight against the system of Government which refuses to recognize our equality, as we fought against it in 1905. But the Russian soil is sacred, it belongs to the peoples of Russia, and whoever dares to touch it will find in the Jew his first foe!" The present struggles furnishes many evidences of Jewish patriotism. They have subscribed liberally to the war fund, sent more than the quota of their sons into the army and their daughters into the Red Cross. The Jew Katz became a national hero by holding in check a whole German force with the aid of but eight men. How has Russia accepted this offer of sacrifice and brotherhood on the part of the Jews? This sameKatz was expelled later from a Petrograd hospital. Could there be a more touching picture than this of a wounded hero slinking in- to a hospital where others walk in bravely, or this other, expulsion from the hospital because of his race, because he was a Jew? Nor is this an isolated case, Jews everywhere are accused of harboring supplies and money, or of being in the employ of the enemy, in fact a section of the press clamors for their exclusion from the army. The problem that faced the Irish and the Jews at the beginning of the war—shall we forget our differences and fight for the fatherland—has been answered by both in the affirmative. Not that they hated their oppressing countrymen less, but that they hated outside enemies more; the foreign foe once laid in the dust, no one doubts a return of the old civil conflict. What the status of these races will be at the end of the war we no not venture an opinion. Will Russia honor her Jewish population after the conflict more than she is doing at the present time? Will she let down the bars of prejudice, and grant freedom of religious worship? How will England reward her Irish subjects who tore down the recruiting signs and put to flight recruiting sergeants—with political autonomy? Noting the intense patriotism of the Jew and the independence of the Irish the outcome will be attentively regarded by the Negro. THE NEGRO BLIND Of the 57,372 blind persons in the United States, 8,849 are Negroes. This is to say that ninety out of every one hundred thousand Negroes have vision that is so defective, that they are unable to read. The number of blind whites is considerably lower (sixty-two) in each one thousand of the population. The comparatively larger ratio of blindness for Negroes is due to two causes; most important, the greater number live in country districts where trachoma and cataracts are allowed to go without treatment; and next since the test of blindness is ability to read, the figures for Negroes include some aged folk who are illiterate and should therefore not be classed here. The colored blind include 4,971 men, and 3,878 women; more men since men as a rule follow the more dangerous occupations. Of these,1115 men and 265 women are gainfully,employed. The occupations of the men include,as we would expect,musicians, newspaper carriers and chair caners,in addition to these farmers,(265),retail merchants(42),clergymen(52),woodsawyers and choppers(106),hucksters(4).The women are not represented among the blind clergymen,but there are laudresses(8),servants(29),nurses(14),seamtresses(6) and agricultural laborers(57). As if this were not sufficient and startling evidence of progress among the blind, we add finally, an author, two lawyers, two school teachers, two physicians and surgeons and one professional entertainer. THE FORUM WHY DO NOT PREACHERS VISIT THE HOSPITALS? The late Prof. George P. Fisher, of Yale University, in his History of the Christian Church, after explaining the condition of the world, says: "In the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son." The first thought that enters the mind is that Christ came to save the world; but is this the end? As we watch the events in the career of the Saviour of the world, we see that His whole life was devoted to the alleviation of the ills of the people. What bearing has this on the article? Today there are men who are set apart as ministers of Christ whose business it is to look after the sick and afflicted and to aid those in distress, if not financially, then with words of comfort and cheer. Here in our city we have one of the finest hospitals conducted by our people, caring for the physical needs, conducted by a competent corps of our physicians. What is being done for the moral and physical welfare? In our city there are two hundred ministers whose chief business it is to minister unto the needs of the people. We hear a great deal about race loyalty preached from time to time from our pulpits, but what is race loyalty if it does not consist in visiting the sick in our own institutions? This week the writer visited Provident Hospital and in talking with some of the patients found that only two ministers had visited the institution within the last four or five weeks, one an A. M. E. and the other a Seventh Day Adventist. Where are the other one hundred and ninety-eight? What are they doing about the command: "Visit the sick?" Some might say that "I do visit the sick of my own con- grégation." True, but does that cover the situation? Of course not. "As off as ye do it unto the least ye do it unto me." This means the visitation of the sick in the hospitals; if ever a person needs a friend—and that friend should always be found in a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—it is when he or she is confined within the walls of a hospital, which no matter how cherry it may be, is always brightened by the appearance of a friend. Arise, O ye ministers of Christ, shake off the lethergy from your feet and begin to do your duty unto the humble as well as the exalted. Visit not for honor and praise but rather for service to mankind. MEDICAL MEN MEET The regular monthly meeting of the Maryland Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association was held on Monday night at the residence of President Dr. Harry F. Brown, 1501 Presstman street. Dr. D. Grant Scott read a paper on "Otitisa Media." The president called the Association's attention to the article in the Afro-American Ledger relative to treatment of Dr. Mason while at John Hopkins Hospital. A general discussion took place. Dr. Fisher made a strong plea for the support of Provident Hospital, he said if everyone would get interested in Provident Hospital and support it properly, there would be no need to send colored patients to white hospitals. A committee of five was appointed by the President to call on the Superintendent of John Hopkins and urge better treatment of colored people. The committee was Drs. Boyle, Hawkins, Scott, Wright and Fitzgerald. EX-SUPERINTENDENT TENDERED A SURPRISE Mr. Daniel W. Maddox, an ex-superintendent of Asbury M. E.

SPORTS& ATHLETICS Ratings in Tennis "A" Class 1 Braxton 2 Cardozo 3 Cook 4 Reckling 5 Rhetta 6 Murphy 7 Wheeler 8 Ross 9 McDaniels 10 Wright The match of the week was the Braxton-Cardozo duel on Wednesday which resulted in two sets all, and deuce games at seven all, before time was called. These two men are therefore tied for first place. On Wednesday also athletic director Ross tumbled F. Weaver out of eighth position in straight sets 6-2, 6-3. This afternoon at four Dr. McCard has challenged Dr. Rhetta for fifth place. Several matches are on the bill for next week, beginning at four o'clock, and a shake up in the rating is expected. The racquet wielders plan a tournament for the early part of September, cups to be offered for winners in the singles and doubles. Secretary Booker of the Y.M.C. A. is planning to offer a medal to the single champion in "B" class, the stipulation being that he be a member of some Association. Hardest fought of the seasons' matches was the Cardozo-Braxton battle for first place on Wednesday. It was a contest between exponents of the back-court and the net game, Cardozo coming to the net whenever he had the slightest chance. Braxton content to remain in the back court and return everything, until he could get in position to put over one of his terrific forehand drives. Braxton had the score 4-3 in the first set, but Cardozo took the next from 4-15, and the two following with love scores. Keeping this advantage Cardozo scored four games to the champion's one in the second set before he rallied and took the next four, making the set stand 5-4 in Braxton's favor. Cardozo then won three games in a row for the second set; score Cardoza 2, Braxton 0. Cardozo's placing was telling on Braxton whose short lobs were killed at the net. With the score 5-3 in the challenger's favor Braxton faced defeat in straight sets. Here he abandoned his hard drives most of which were met at the net or fell outside, and began a dinky cut just falling over the net. This change of pace was the source of success for he won the next three games handily and the set at the twentieth game. Braxton made it a love set and two sets all when the play was resumed, Cardozo not exerting himself after the fourth game. In the fifth set, the champion made a strong bid for the match and made the games three all after his opponent had deuced the score eight times. Cardozo won the seventh game and came up to deuce from 40-15 in the eighth game. Back and fourth twelve times the ball scudded between the racquets of the two men before Braxton's back-hand cut twisted just out of reach on the opponents side, giving him the game at four all. From here on the games alternated. The final score was seven all when darkness interfered. The tie will be played off next week. Dr. Rhetta was the referee, and his work on the whole was satisfactory, tho he failed to see Braxton's numerous foot-faults; his left foot sometimes reaching the middle of the line before the ball left his racquet. Drew, the wonderful little sprinter, has retired. His defeat at the national A. A. U. championship games, which he attributes to poor physical condition, has caused him to take this stand. Followers of runners the world over will mark with regret the passing of another world's champion sprinter with a record of 9 3-5 for the century dash, and 21 1-5 for the two-twenty. The boy wonder who began his career at the Springfield high school by winning most points for his school in the New England meets, lived to show his heels to the best of college fliers, Patterson, Lippincott and the rest, and until he pulled a tendon, the best sprinters in the world could not touch him at the Stockholm Olympics. In his retirement from the cinders, colored amateurs lose a consistent performer. one worthy to have worn the mantle of the great J. B. Taylor. FOR RENT—1139 W. Saratoga street. Apply at 628 N.

HAYTI VILLA CARRANZA MEXICO GERMANY THINKS VERNON'S FRIENDS WRONG Colonel Midnight Comments On Recent Burning of Bishop Connor in Effigy Birmingham Ala.—The whole race is called upon to mourn because the will of the Lord hath been done, and we have lost two great ministers, Dr.M.C.B.Mason, and Dr. E. J. Fisher, two of our best men. I am too full to comment on it this week. I am thanking God that I am here yet, but I do not know when the papers of the country will inform the people that I too have gone to that reward. I am striving to earn it. It means something to be a leader in this race of mine. If you get up there is always someone who wants your job, and they will set traps, fix up lies and do almost everything else to get that position, and what can you do about it? Nothing but deny the things they say, yet if you are not strong they will dig the dirt from under you feet and let you down hard. At times God will allow them to fall in the ditch. Some men resort to such low things in order to get even with someone, and I have never believed in little things and I am not going to do it now and you may just put it down that I told you, and if they don't like it then they may see me. The papers of the country announced last week that Bishop J. M. Conner was burned in effegy before the Pearl Street A. M. E. Church in Jackson, Miss., and there were thousands of people to witness it. I saw it first in the daily papers, and I did not understand it and was weeping, because I thought that they had burned Bishop Conner. Since I have been informed that it was not the real thing, but a form representing Bishop Conner, a dummy. Permit me to say that all the men who took part in that, and I care not who they are, were less than dummies. They today stand in the eyes of the public a disgraced job lot of humanity, and says to the world that they indorse lynching, burning of human beings at the stake. They would destroy the whole man if they could. I would not expect this from my people, especially those who are the trained men and women. I am not going into details, but permit me to say that Dr. Vernon is not the only man who has ever lost a job, and believe me it will not be the last time. Instead of trying to make a people keep him when they did not he should have taken the independent place of a man and gone on and secured another job, because that was not the only position in the world, being president of a college, almost choked to death with debt. It was not the biggest school in the country, he should have had a his friends to use that same time and energy in trying to get him something else. He would have gained more and had more success. Dr. Vernon is a big man, and has held big places, but in many cases he has played the baby act. He is one of the best speakers in the country. I now commend Dr. Vernon to the God who gave him to us, and say to him not to contend for Campbell College, but go right on, get another job, and if you are not too rash the general conference of your church may some day make you a bishop. I recall that I was in Beaumont, Texas when I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week and you see where I am now, right in Birmingham and before you can get through reading this letter, I will be in another part of the world, and have accepted an invitation to lecture in Baltimore at Trinity A. M. E. Church, September 2nd, so that all mail will reach me at 628 N. Eutaw street, Baltimore. I had a fine time in Beaumont, being in charge of the Live Oak Baptist Church the largest and leading church in town. I used the time to advantage while there, and the people will long remember it. In Beaumont I was the guest of Prof. T. T. Polard, Prof. J. T. Carlton and the church, and it made me feel like I was some pumpkins. Getting through Beaumont Sunday night I left for Crowley, La., stopped by there for a little while with Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Mcplung and had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Conner and his baby, as well as Prof. Ross and his wife. Left there for Tuscaloosa, I passed through big New Orleans and did not get to see any of my friends there. I met Dr. E. P. Uncle Sam in Hayti is a great big fellow. Jones at the stable going to his District Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, and rode with him as far as Bilox. He was an interesting talker and had many nice things to say to me as we rode along. I rode until I reached Birmingham, and here I changed and got another wagon to take me to Tuscaloosa, and I am going right back there as soon as I get through with this letter, and will leave there for the National Negro Business League, to be presided over by Booker T. Washington, and I expect to see him preside, and will be the guest of Rev. M. W. Thornton, 102 Camden street. COMMENTS FROM OUR EVERY CHEER We cannot, of course, a And it's hard for us a We are sure now and th And we don't always To te patient is not alw To be cheerful is mu But at least we can alw If we make up our m And it pays every time t Although you feel we The Odd Fellows had their meeting in Tuscaloosa and I was there to see it out, and had the pleasure of meeting some real men. I shook hands with one of the greatest men in the A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. J. S. Jackson, and I hope to have the pleasure of addressing him as Bishop Jackson after May. He has made his way up by hard work, and he is working now. He is one of the substantial citizens of Birmingham, and any business man will take his word, his note or anything else with his name to it. He has handled thousands of dollars of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and according to the report of the auditing committee every cent has been accounted for, and the church is in his debt over three hundred dollars. Dr. Jackson owns some good real estate and a seven passenger car, which is a good one because I have been in it. He invited me to ride with him from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham, 68 miles, and it was made in a little over two hours. I tell you it was a fine ride. We were accompanied on the trip by one of Dr. Jackson's daughters and two big men and the man who made the thing go, also three watermelons. I really enjoyed myself, and I am now in the city of Birmingham looking around. I have been to see Dr. U. G. Mason, who is one of the leading doctors in the city. I have decided to go to Louisville next May to the general conference of the A.M.E. Zion Church. NO CHANCE IN U. S. NAVY. That the United States Navy offers no opportunity for a colored man is the opinion of Howard M. Dorsey, who has just completed an enlistment of four years and two months. He is now visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dcrsey, of 760 Vine street. "Colored men are only enlisted as mess attendants, and the highest rank that any can attain is that of steward" he told a representative of the Afro-American Ledger. "There are a few colored men who hold the rank of petty officer, but they are kept on shore duty. "The colored man has absolutely no chance as a sailor or any position above that grade, the policy being to restrict all to mess attendants. This situation causes many to desire being out of the service before their first enlistment expires. When the sailors and officers parade through the streets of foreign ports you never see a colored man in line, and in no athletic sports, save boxing, do we have a chance. "You can take it from me that the Navy is no place for a colored man of spirit and ambition." Mr. Dorsey's statement is in direct contrast to one made by Secretary Daniels some time ago. The latter answering a query said that there was no discrimination against colored men in the United States Navy. Mr. Dorsey was tendered a reception by his parents Thursday night, a large number of friends being present and interested in his recital of visits to various ports. A buffet luncheon was served. COMMENTS FROM OUR EXCHANGES We cannot, of course, all be handsome, And it's hard for us all to be good; We are sure now and then to be lonely And we don't always do as we should. To be patient is not always easy, To be cheerful is much harder still; But at least we can always be pleasant If we make up our minds that we will And it pays every time to be kindly, Although you feel worried and blue; If you smile at the world and be cheerful The world will smile back at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how low you are down— Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends when you frown. —California Eagle. REMEMBERING FRIENDS. Promises, like pie crust, are easily broken. Especially is this true of pre-election promises. The candidate seeking office is the most prolific falsifier, as a rule, of any class of public men. Their motto seems to be win at any cost. A shining example of before and after taking is found in no less person than our present incumbent of the White House. Mr. Wilson let it be known through the press and pulpit that he was friendly to the race and would see to it that they had a fair representation. In the language of the street, "we fell for that noise." What he did for us can be told in one word, NOTHING. What he did to us would fill a volume as large as Webster's Unabridged. The experience was perhaps worth that paid for it; but, like the raven, we are quoting, "never more." Coming nearer home, have another and brighter picture, one that leads us to feel that all politicians are not without honor. Such have we in William Hale Thompson, our recently elected mayor. Our race, almost to a man, stuck by him, and was instrumental in putting him over. Did he forget? Was he suddenly attacked with ccolorphobia? Did he listen to prejudiced friends? Did he set his own race down to a sumptuously filled table that they might eat to their heart's content and when finished toss the crumbs to us? The true story seems not to run that way. Edward H. Wright, former county commissioner, was appointed assistant corporation counsel at a salary of $5,000 per year. L. B. Anderson and Rev. A. J. Carey also received important and lucrative positions in the same office. These and scored of minor positions given freely by the Mayor show that his every inch'a man and appreciates to the fullest our efforts in his behalf. —Chicago Defender. Example is better than precept. If you entertain rough people in the presence of your children you are damning all your prayers and pious talk. Mothers who allow their daughters to run the streets at night improperly attended have only one thing to expect. What can you expect when the mother is out, she says, serving a party, trying to get some pin money, as she will say, "my husband cannot give me all I want." That is true, but perhaps he can give her all she needs. Here she comes home at 1.30 a. m., with a black veil over her face. Husband had to eat at the restaurant; he got home first but he is drunk. Her boys were out with one improper attendant; boys at some pool room. Next day she is out telling neighbors how --- Say, Old Man, attend to your own business; see! her husband "abused me and my children, and I just can't stand that. The Lord knows that I do my duty." Now the Lord does not know anything about it. Your home is just the workshop of the evil. Then we ask the question, what will become of our young people? Just let the father and the mother do their duty and the children will not depart from it. No race can rise higher than its women. So fathers and mothers do your duty for the boy and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. It is not what we say but what we do that makes us great; it is not what we read but what we remember that makes us earn. —California Eagle THE ROSENWALD FUND C. J. Calloway head of the extension department at Tuskegee in a recent address stated that twenty school houses had been built in six Alabama counties since October, 1914, at a cost of $21,000 of which Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, contributed $0,000. Mr. Calloway explained the terms whereby that gentleman would give approximately $70,000 for the erection of 200 rural school houses for our people in the Southern States during a period of five years from October 1915. The Rosenwald fund is used to encourage public school officers and the people in a community to erect school houses in rural districts by supplementing what public officers or people themselves do, the kind of building to be approved by the extension department of Tuskegee and where required, by the State board of education. Oakland Western Outlook. OLDEST CITIZEN IN U. S. Jerry Neal, of Cave Spring, Ga., celebrated his one hundred and twenty-fourth birthday anniversary a few days ago. He is, so far as is known, the oldest person in Georgia, if not in the United States. He has papers which establish his age without question, and the oldest inhabitants in Floyd county remember that Jerry was a grown up man when they were in their kilties. Jerry, the father of 44 sons and daughters, distinctly remembers the war of 1812 and many of the Indian wars. He is well and hearty, but uses a cane when walking. —Iowa State Bystander. FUNERAL OF JAMES SISCO: Probably no funeral since that of the late Joe Gans was as largely attended as was that of James Sisco, which was held at his late residence 703 W. Saratoga street Monday afternoon. Long, before the hour of the funeral, the streets in the vicinity of the home of the deceased were packed with friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. N. Ross, P. J. Jordan and P. W. Wortham. Escorted by a delegation from Hannibal Lodge of Knights of Pythias, Monumental Lodge of Elks and the Arch Social with which the deceased was connected, the body was borne a block through the throng and placed in a hearse. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. The floral tributes were many and handsome. Mr. Sisco died last Friday, having been ill for months with a complication of diseases. He was born in the city 47 years ago and had a wide circle of friends among all classes of people. His widow, Mre. Annie Sisco, and mother survive. ADVERTISE IT PAYS.

Picture of Fort Constructed by John Brown and a Box Used For the Transportation of Slaves to Be Put on Exhibition—Schedule of Leading Organization Days. By N. BARNETT PODSON. Chicago. Now that the Richmond (Va.) exposition has closed all eyes are centered on the one to be held in this city from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, inclusive. The fact that during the time, from the beginning of the celebration to its close, fifty-four organizations, nearly all national in the scope of their work, will render special programs adds new and varied interest to the occasion. The last day of the coming exposition will be known officially as Illinois day. The Roman Catholic section of the exposition looks very favorable, says the Lincoln Sentiment, the official organ of the commission. Our exhibits from the convents, churches and schools are coming in from all quarters. We are receiving very flattering letters from reliable sources, wishing the management godspod. One Catholic bishop writes us about the Negro—that it is his hearty wish as well as his well grounded hope that the tremendous strides made in these years may be continued and even surpassed in the second half of the century, and to this end the approaching exposition will be no small contributor. Friday, Sept. 10, will be Tuskegee (Ala.) institute day, and in the section headed "The Dawn of Truth" will be shown the progress of the race from Apponanttex Court House, Va., to Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Part I of this section depicts King Cotton in his glory, and part II will show the Genius of Liberty at home and abroad. This section will be studded at its four corners with life size plaques of U. S. Grant, Booker T. Washington, Fred Donglass and Stephen A. Douglass. Another feature of this half century of freedom celebration will be that presented by John Brown's daughter, who will exhibit a lock of her father's hair and a model of a fort constructed by John Brown. A box used in the transportation of slaves on the underground railroad will also be shown to the public, perhaps for the first time. Aside from the hundreds of other attractions, everybody will want to see the daughter of the man who struck the blow for human liberty at Harper's Ferry, in 1830, which quickly brought on the civil war and which lasted four years, terminated in the Freedom of the slaves and the final surrender of Robert E. Lee & Wycliffe, S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Va., April 9, 1855. Among the organizations listed under the head of special feature days at the exposition from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16 are the National Medical association, convention of the Order of Elks, Grand Army of the Republic, congress of anti-slavery workers, Ancient Order of Foresters, Knights of Tulon, international interracial congress, Ancient United Knights of Daughters of Africa, Grand United Order of True Reformers, Grand United Order of Old Fellows, Spanish-American war veterans, Eighth Illinois regiment national guard farmers' congress, Negro Authors' society, Sunday school congress and the national congress of fraternal workers Thomas Wallace Savann, secretary of the commission, has been in communication with persons of influence and leadership in racial耻力 work in all sections of the country. He has secured from these persons an abundance of information as to the progress of the race in their sections during the past year. Through this correspondence the commission will be in position to present many more exhibits from individuals than it could have obtained otherwise. Purpose of the Donovan Fund Fails. It is reported that legal steps have been taken to wind up the Caroline Donovan trust fund at Baltimore, created about twenty-nine years ago for the purpose of encouraging colored Americans to emigrate to Liberia. The fund was operated by the American Colonization society. That the scheme is not popular with the race in America is shown by the fact that only about 16,000 have emigrated to Africa during the existence of the American colonization society. The petition states that transportation to Africa has ceased. The fund in question at the present time amounts to $0,000. Interest Shown In Summer Normal. The interest which the rural schoolteachers are taking in the summer normal which opened at Prentiss, Miss., on Monday, Aug. 2, indicates in a large measure a desire on their part to better prepare themselves for their work. The session will last until Aug. 31. At the close of the normal State Superintendent W. H. Smith will hold an examination. The sessions are being held daily at the Prentiss Normal and Industrial institute, Prentiss, Miss. Publishers of the Asbury Park (N. J.) Recorder Are Encouraged. Recorder Are Encouraged. Asbury Park, N. J.-The People's Recorder, E. M. and F. S. Webster owners, celebrated its first anniversary on Friday, July 30. The venture has been very successful, notwithstanding in the beginning the owners of the paper had to employ a New York printer to do the work in New York city each week. Many other difficulties confronted the Messrs. Webster, but they exercised great patience and used good judgment. In about nine months they had gained considerable experience and mastered most of the difficult problems which confronted them at the beginning. In relating his early experience with the paper E. M. Webster says: "Seeing the expenses going up and the profits beginning to dwindle, type, press and everything necessary to print the paper was purchased from a New York printers' supply house on the 5th of October, 1914. This enabled us to do jobwork and insert 'last minute' news, which was another surprise forward. Since that time the Recorder has steadily forged ahead, slowly but surely. "There were times when things looked dark and discouragement loomed high, but we had only to turn to a little card which we had tacked upon the wall which reads, 'Heaven is not gained by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise,' etc. This gave us new hope and greater courage. On this, the Recorder's first birthday, we find in summing up that we have made a great guide toward the coveted goal, and with the same good fortune that has attended us in the past we shall ultimately reach the desired end. We extend today our best wishes to our readers and supporters, and we wish them the greatest success. "The Recorder has passed the infant stage. From an expensive experiment it has partly reached the happy realization of our fondest dreams. Our endeavors have been crowned with a success that has won the petrologue and esteem of many subscribers and advertisers in a field of more than 460 colored publications. "We take this opportunity to thank our many hundreds of subscribers, advertisers, voluntary contributors and well wishers. The encouraging letters received have been many, and they generally came at a time when they were most welcome. Our appreciation is evident by our efforts to please. In the installation of interesting features which we are able to get from time to time we hope to cover a wider field. "We invite suggestions and criticisms from subscribers and readers. They are always welcome. The Recorder is for the benefit of our people as a race, and we respectfully invite the public to make it their home companion." ACTIVITY AMONG FARMERS.

National Organization Keeps In Close Touch With Social Enterprises Boston - The National Negro Business league, which meets here on Wednesday, Aug. 18, says in its notes on racial progress: The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk, Va., is in a very healthy condition. E. C. Brown is president and William M. Rich cashier. The business "was started six years ago, with total assets of $10,434. It has increased to $67,827.00. It is still increasing at the rate of from $20,000 to $30,000 annually. The Christmas Saving club feature is very popular. In 1914 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $23,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. The league also notes that our people in Virginia pay taxes on real and personal property to the amount of $34,743,636. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,662. Work of Society For Ethical Culture. The Society For Ethical Culture.

HEUISLER Can be seen on all affairs of life RESIDENCE: 2008 BANK STREET --- How few sufferers from Chronic Diseases realize that the old means and methods for treating Chronic Diseases have passed entirely out of existence. Almost eighty per cent. of such sufferers still adhere to the old remedies and old methods of treatment which never did and never will cure Chronic Diseases. The method of today for the treatment of Chronic Diseases has been improved just as every other branch of industry has advanced. Chronic sufferers have either come to the conclusion, that there is no cure for them or else they are dragging along, using all sorts of nauseating remedies and worthless mixtures with the hope that they may gain from them some little relief. It is from this class of sufferers that THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST'S Method of treating Nervous and Chronic Diseases claim attention. He uses rational natural methods and has equipped his office with up-to-date medical and electrical appliances; also vibratory and high frequency apparatus for the scientific treatment of Chronie Disease. THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST has kept himself constantly abreast of the medical profession in studying thoroughly and scientifically under the head of his specialties, and at the same time keeps his charges within the reach of all. He is brave enough, knowing the power for good in his hands in the use of physiological therapeutics, not to be deterred from advertising and using them by fear of public criticism or professional ostracism. If you are suffering from any disease which comes under the head of THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST'S Specialties you should call on him at once. A perfect knowledge of diseases one-half the cure. It is your life that is at stake. Don't accept what anyone says but go direct to THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST and satisfy yourself. One of the fundamental principles which guides THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST in his treatment of the affected is nor to promise more than he can accomplish and to do justice to all cases. He treats specially Nervous, Kidney, Bladder, Stomach, Liver, Skin Diseases of both sexes. Consultation Free. His offices are permanently located at ....THE BALTIMORE MEDICAL OFFICE.... 7 S.
