THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 52 FIGHTING AGAINST SEPARATE SCHOOLS Movement Started in Philadelphia to Prevent Coming of Segregation in the Public School System Philadelphia a, August 20.—A number of prominent colored Philadelphiaians have organized to fight against the movement which they fear will result in separate schools for colored pupils. The citizens, headed by Dr. F. N. Mossel, issued a report Tuesday accusing the Board of Education of violating the school law by discriminating against colored people. It was pointed out two colored children suffered frozen f-et from because they had to walk a mile and a half to reach the colored school at Frankfort. "The action of the Board in advising white parents to take them out of a school set apart for colored children is denounced as "un-Christian, un-American and un-just." The Durham School, at 16th and Lombard streets, has an entire colored faculty. Few, if any, whites are enrolled. J. R. Paul Brock, formerly a teacher in the Baltimore Colored High School, is principal of this school. Clarence White, formerly a teacher in Baltimore, is principal of another school set apart for colored children. Other schools in the city are mixed. The segregation idea has been bitterly attacked by those who were either born here or who have lived here for a long time. The opposers to the plan fear that in time there will be separate schools for all colored children. "LOU" WAS A GOOD "MAID" Philadelphia, Aug. 19. — "Lou" Russell, colored has been hiring out as a laundress, cook and maid of all work" and folks have thought her a fine woman servant. "Lou" got a little gay on a street car the other night and was arrested for disorderly conduct. His sex was discovered and now he is serving six months in the House of Correction. DISTRICT CONFERENCE HELD Denton, Md., August 19.—The Easton District Conference of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference, which was held at Union Bethel A. M. E. Church, was largely attended. Rev. S. H. Cooper, presiding elder of the district presided. A number of ministers delivered addresses on pertinent topics. The collection amounted to $200. Revs. H., Murray, F. T. Johnson, R. E. Ford, I. N. Ross and David Johnson were among the ministers introduced. Rev. E. T. Addison was elected secretary, Rev. James J. Eaker, assistant secretary and J. S. Collins, treasurer. The Sunday School convention was also held. INTEREST IN BIG STATE FAIR Ellicott City, Md., August 20. Interest is beginning to heighten in the big annual State Bazaar and carnival that will be held on the farm of Stephen Watkins near here on September 2 and 3. The affair, which will be the first of its kind given in Howard county, will be under the auspices of the Howard County Colored Improvement League and the Atholton M. E. Church. An automobile show, marathon race, horse and colt show, beauty and health contest concert, parade, concert and display of fireworks will be among the features. NIXON COMES OFF HIS "HIGH HORSE" Consents After Conference With Ministers to Expunge Objectional Features in "Birth Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 20. Following a big protest from colored residents, it has been agreed to censor objectionable features in Thomas Dixon's prejudice creating pay, "The Birth of a Nation." The colored citizens met two weeks ago and adopted strong resolutions against the production of the play here. These were presented to Mayor Riddle and other members of the city Commission, with the result that the play was ordered stopped last Friday. The officials of the theatre secured a temporary injunction at Trenton last Saturday restraining the city from stopping the play. The City Commission was required to show cause by next Tuesday as to why the injunction should not be made permanent. Samuel F. Nixon, lessee of the theatre where the play is being shown, declared, at first that the play was ordered stopped by those who feared that the 12,000 colored residents of the city would resent the production of the play here at the next election. As a result of Nixon and a number of prominent colored ministers holding an amicable conference Tuesday it is believed that further legal proceedings will not take place. After negotiations for a peaceful settlement had been imperiled for 24 hours by a suggestion from M. F. Nixon that they should confer with his manager, heads of four of the largest Negro congregations met Mr. Nixon at noon. Tney were Rev. J. P. Gregory, Union Baptist Temple Rev. Charles D. Douglass Second Baptist Rev. E. M. Clark Jericho Presbyterian and Rev. W. M. Langford of Zion Church representing about 2400 parishioners. After the conference Mr. Nixon said: "The committee which called upon me was very fair. After hearing their objections to certain features of the "Birth of a Nation" I told them that I believed the matter could be settled satisfactorily. J. J. McCarthy, who represents Mr. Griffith, owner of the picture has been summoned to come to Atlantic City on Thursday and meet the pastors." Mr. Gregory speaking for the ministers said: "We were led to believe that two features of the film drama which hold up our race to shame and contempt and which cannot fail to incite race hatred are to be cut out. We asked also that the South Carolina Legislature scene, in which a majority of Negro members are depicted as passing intermarriage legislation, should also be cut out. We were assured however that so much of the play depended on this one scene that it could hardly be eliminated without destroying the whole." JOHN T. SETTLES, WEALTHY LAWYER, DEAD Memphis, Tenn., August 16. Hon. J. T. settles, one of the most noted lawyers in the country, and race leader died at his home here today. He has been sick for some time and the end was not unexpected. Mr. Settles is one of the oldest lawyers in the South, and had accumulated considerable wealth. He was prominent in the National Negro Bar Association. PYTHIANS OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS Five Thousand Uniformed Men Af Camp Samuel Ward, Under Command of Major General Jackson Columbus, O., August 20.—All Columbus turned out this morning to witness the big parade of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pothias. Not only many attracted from distant points by the session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythia, but excursions were run from many Ohio towns and cities. The Uniform Rank was under the command of Major R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, and cheer after cheer went up after a company passed a point where some of its friends were standing. General Lewis E. Williams, head of the Uniform Rank in Maryland, was among those noticed in line. Following the parade the Supreme Lodge and the Supreme Court of Calanthe resumed their business sessions in order to wind up the affairs of this eventful week. The session of the Supreme Lodge, which are being held in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, have been fairly peaceful except the debate on the status of the Virginia Grand Lodge. This jurisdiction which is headed by Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. was suspended three years ago for refusing to pay the Supreme Lodge tax. The Virginia delegates were not allowed to sit in the session held at Baltimore two years ago. They carried their cases to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, which ordered that the Grand Lodge of Virginia be reinstated. Attorney Stanton, of Pittsburg, argued that Virginia was entitled to re-admission. The Supreme Lodge ruled, however, that Virginia must pay up all back taxes before being readmitted Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, who is presiding, delivered his biennial address, Wednesday. The address was an exhaustive review of the status of the order. The various Lodge officers Supreme also made their reports. At the formal opening services Governor Willis delivered a well received address of welcome, in which he declared that Ohio will never become "Alabamaized" in its treatment of the Negro. Mayor Karb also delivered greetings. Among those making responses were Edward H. Smith, of New York, Mrs. A.D. Kelly, of Kentucky and L. B. Kinchion, of Texas. J. T. Warren, of Arkansas; John P. Crawford, of Tennessee; H. P. Butler, of South Carolina, the finance committee reported the result of their auditing of the books of the order. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green was reelected. THE COURT OF CALANTHE Supreme Councilor Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, presided over the session of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. His biennial address showed that $30,000 had passed through his office during the past two years and that 10,500 women have been added to the membership. Mr. Jones was presented a silver loving cup, Mrs. Mary Butler, of Alabama, making the presentation address. Charles A. Cottrill, former collector of internal revenue of Honululu, delivered an address before the Supreme Court Thursday. Camp Harry Ward has attracted thousand of visitors, all intent upon seeing the imposing sight that several thousand uniformed men present in camp. Physicians and nurses look after the well being of the men, an emergency hospital being a feature. MARYLAND MASONS IN ANNUAL SESSION Reports Heard from Grand Master and Other Grand Officers Joseph P.

Alfred Young, The Masonic choir, under the direction of William Evans furnished music. The remainder of the opening session was taken up mainly with reports from the committees on credentials and rules. The grand master made his annual address, covering the work accomplished during the year, at the afternoon session. The other grand officers also made their reports. Tuesday was taken up with the transaction of business, the election of officers and the choosing of Towson as the next place for the session.

Bowles was among the physicians chosen by the Board of School Directors to make a medical inspection of the schools. Dr. Bowle is prominent among all race and civic activities here. U.S. NOT TO LEAVE IN NEAR FUTURE Fact Well Known That U.S. Has Long Been Desirous of Securing Coaling Station on Haitian Soil. Washington, August 20.—The opinion is prevalent here that it will be sometime before the United States withdraws its troops from Haiti. Admiral Caperton is in command of the situation and has just been reenforced by more marines. While many foreigners have money invested in Haiti, there seems to be no other disposition on the part of the United States than to secure other than a stable government there. It may be said, however, that the United States has long been desirous of securing a coaling station at Mole St. Nicholas. During President Harrison's administration Admiral Gherdiw was sent as a special envoy to Haiti to negotiate a treaty for the coaling station. The Haitians refused to receive him as a special ambassador as he did not have the proper credentials. The late Frederick Douglass, who was the American Minister to Haiti at that time, resigned to show his displeasure at the action of Harrison and Blaine in sending the admiral there without such credentials as would give him precedence over the Minister. The Haitians were evidently pleased at the action of Mr. Douglass as they made him their representative at the World's Fair, held at Chicago, in 1893, at a salary equal to that he would have received as Minister. The completion of the Panama Canal makes it more desirable now that the United States secure the coaling station, but the latter government may only try to secure such a treaty as it has controlling Cuba and Nicaragua. Bishop John Hurst, a native of Haiti, writing in the African Methodist Review for January, 1914, has the following to say of Haiti in contradistinction to the other Central South American Governmen:s. "In matters affecting general education, public credit at home or abroad, Haiti is not the last among them. Social order there is at no greater discount than it is in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras or San Domingo. But there are natural conditions that work in their favor as against Haiti. They speak a common language, use the same literature, and consequently, there has developed among them an esprit de corps that is worth everything to them. Their viewpoints of the great facts of life-moral political, social-run parallel with each other. They make, in a sense, common cause. A strike at one of them is apt to bring all of them together. All South and Central America is Spanish and all North America, save Mexico, is English. "Thus Haiti finds itself isolated from its nearest neighbors. Isolation, considered in relation to a nation or an individual invited contempt, and antipathy and distrust. It is a cheap undertaking to make light of a people so situated." The fact that the Haitians are Negroes and speak a different language makes it seem improbable that the United States would desire to annex them and thus have colored men in the American Congress FX-BALTIMOREAN AT CHAUTAUQUA EX-BALTIMOREAN AT CHAUTAUOUA Ownesboro, Ky., August 18. The ninth annual Negro chautauqua has just come to a close here. Among the many prominent speakers was W. F. DeBardeleen, formerly of Baltimore, who is doing missionary work in Kentucky. A. B. SANNON FOREIGN MINISTER IN NEW HAITIAN REGIME Port au Prince, Haiti, August 18.—Closely following the election of Gen. Sudre Dartingueneuve to the presidency came the announcement of the formation of the Haitian cabinet as follows: M. Elie, Minister of Finance; H. Pauleus Sannon, Minister of Foreign Relations; M. Lecomte, Minister of War; M. Donevall, Minister of Justice, and M. Samsarion, Minister of Public Works. Minister Sannon is well and favorably known in the United States; having preceded M. Solon Menos, the present Haitian Minister to the United States at Washington. It is thought that he will lend his aid in securing friendly relations between this country and Haiti, and at the same time not jeopardize the sovereignty of his country. BUSINESS LEAGUE IN SESSION Boston, Mass., August 20.—The sessions of the fifteenth annual of the National Negro Business League came to an end today with the presentation of a number of papers dealing with racial enterprises. A general discussion followed. The sessions which have been held in Convention Hall, were attended by prominent business men from all sections, of the country. Many of the stories told of the rise from poverty to one of comparative wealth read like romance. A number of delegates came in automobiles and on the opening day, Wednesday, many of these automobiles were parked around Convention Hall contrary to law. When Dr. Booker T. Washington was apprised of this fact he advised the "well-to-do to rise and go out and see that their automobiles were placed according to law." The initial session was called to order by Dr. S. E. Courtney, of this city. Dr. Washington delivered his annual address Wednesday night. Dr. John E. White, an Atlantic white minister, delivered an address Wednesday The delegates will be taken on an excursion around Boston tomorrow. FRANK LYNCHERS WON'T BE PUNISHED FRANK LYNCHERS WON I BE PUNISHED Philadelphia, August 19.—Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, who is supplying a pulpit here says Leo M. Frank was not lynched because of prejudice against the Jew. He asserts that only a small section of Georgians believed Frank innocent and continues: "At first Negroes were lynched for the unspeakable crime, then for lesser crimes, then white men were lynched for revenge. Few people are really connected with a lynching. Our jails are not secure against the attack of small parties. Jailers and sheriffs are too easily convinced by the show of a pistol, and so we have the shame of social murder. "The papers say that twenty-five men took Frank from the prison. Was anything done to them? No. BOY SCOUTS. UP AND DOING Officers Seout Master Charles A. Cary, Asst, Scout Mas. Jos, Kelso. Patrol Leaders: Chas. Craig, Alphonso Green, David Nickens. Asst.

THE ESCAPING IRISHMEN. The hundreds of Irishmen who have escaped the war as prospective soldiers of England and have been coming into the port of New York, cheering as they reach sight of this country, should be a lesson to every mother country which. now holds under subjection people of another stock and race. We do not declare the Irish either cowards or traitors to their country’s call. The Irish declare that England is not their country; that the Eoglish Jack has not-meant equality of opportunits and a higher civilization for them. They have no country to fight for, ‘they claim; they have no flag to serve. ‘They are not called upen, therefore, they feel, to serve old Englaed, even in the hour of her direst need. Yet how much more has the Irish te thank England for than has the black man, America. This country stands on the brink of the world wide Armaggeddon. She needs the services of every black man beneath the Stars and Stripes. Before the exegency-of war dictates that-he oe placated by the gaining of a fuller freedom, a bigger part and parcel in his own government would be a great good policy onthe part of Uncle Sam toward his color- ed citizens, New York News. THE STANDARD BEARER The American people in their search for true democratic ideals have turned to more than one political party.

At times when skippers have been changed and’ the prlicy of the party toward the colored people has’ been waver- ing and often unjust, but fair minds of the party. could always be de- pended upon to assert themselves, and, inevitaby, like the needle to the pole, the ship has turned in the right direction—the- direction of law and order justice and liberty.

WE BLUSH Frank, the Jew, threatened, hounded and lynched presenta to outraged America an entirely dif- ferent. spectacle from the fifty other lynchings of the year, not in the brute defiance of the law or the revolting ‘etails of the burn. ing, but chiefly because the dus- tardiv crime ‘‘customarily is re- served for those of a race other than that of Leo Frank.’’ The in: compentency and the connivance of the state officials from warden to governor have been proved by the press of the country, the mob spirit, the true Georgia spirit, drawn down upon itself a volume of censure that has been equaled only by. the comment an the Lusi- tania incident. The crime is ‘‘a amear of barbarism,’’ ‘‘A piece of fiendish savagery” or “‘represents ‘a degree of degradation that is co- toasal,’? and every citizen of Georgia— ‘‘yes every Southerner and every American should blush with the shame of it, uotil these ‘who are guilty shall be brought to justice.” The Afro-American Led. ger does blush with shame over tha barbarity of tha South, but it ig no special blush. Our faces have been suffused a half hundred times ‘before this year. It does make a difference, doesn’t it, whose ox is gored? = UNCOMMON BRAVERY Loyalty is ever .commendable, more especially when thots of self preservation conflict sharply with what we conceive as our duty. We ‘admite the’ spirit of the Franciscan “Nuns, whose Orphanage adjoins the furniture factory: of Goldstrom Bros. on St,’Paul street, in devot- “fog their lives in unselfish service to colored children, In-the fire “which ‘recently destroyed. the fac- ‘tory and the chapel of the .orphau- “age,the service of these women ap- proached the heroic. == <The three hundred orphans many of’ them.under..two years were ‘awakened, "dressed... and - marched “without confusion and without mis.

(£16 UNI Olalee te eee country. Of course it is. “For more than four hundred years the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ has been preached from almost every hill, hamlet and plain. Churches have been built-in almost every corner go to:speak. Schools, colleges, seminaries acd other in- atitutions of lesroing have: been built for the purpose of educating men for the ministry and religion has’ been taught on the corners of the streets, But with it all it has failed to scratch’ beneath the sur- face. If any one doubts the truth of this statement, a report coming from Starksville, Miss., will surely convince them’ that this country has not yet gotten beyond the confines of barbarism. ‘According to the New York World the hanging of two colored men in the.village was the cause of the outpouring of more than 5,000 people, men ,women and children, who came with baskets, bottles and other aceeseories for the picnic and a day of pleasure. Political candidates were there and made apeecher, merchants did a land- office business, and the crowd even joined in the singing of the last hymn with the condemned menon the scaffold. The performance was staged by the local officials in a ort of natural ampithiatre, where the crowd could get a good view of the whole proceedings. ‘The soda water stands did a rushing business, and even the sandwich man got his share of the proceeds of the holiday. We ‘are willing to admit that there is some consideration to be given to the feelings of the parents and the neighbors of an outraged woman or girl, and they,, under auch eireumstances, might:be led to violate the law by takiog it into their own hands, but to make a holiday of an occasion like this and assemble from all parts of the country to see two degenerates offically Killed, is almost past com- prehension, and we are led to ex: claim of what use is religion or the practice of it, if it leads men too higher life than thie? Is it any wonder that there are so many who do not believe in the white man’s religion, or who will not practice religion at all because of the interpretation of it? Is it any wonder that the nations of the earth considered heathen have very little use for the religion as expressed by the ac:ions of the white man? Is it any wonder that Europe is now enflamed with passions of war’ Is it any wonder that Mexico is torn: from centre to cireumference by what is really a religious war, altho efforts have been repeatedly made to dispute this [particular phase of it? The fact is that under present conditions, it is wonderful that so many aa do practice the Christian Religion. The wonder is that more do not turn their backs upon it than do, But the fault lies not in the religion itself, but in the interpretation the present day world puts upon'it. When, the men who stand in the pulpits and who preach the Chris: tian religion live it better thao many of them do, perhaps then present conditions may change, but hardly before. . | A Baltimore newspaper on Wednesday devoted several columns to the lynching of Leo Frank, the Jew, and -the following to ‘the lynching of three Negroes in Ala- bama: ‘Men Relezsed, Charge of Poisoning Afules Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 18.— ‘Three negroes, recently released from jail, where they were held charged with poisoning mules, were lynched near Hopebull today. ‘The time wil! come without a doubt ‘when the newspapers to be consistent will: have to devote as much space to the lynching of oue man as to the lynching of another po matter what his color or stand- ing. On the eve of jts 24th anniver- saty, the Afro-American Ledger heartily cougratuates the Baltimore American on its 142nd birthday. o RALLY AT ST. IGAN'S St. John A. .M. E.

Cummings, B.D., ‘Superintes of the Annapolis District; Washington Conference. * THE HEAVENLY VISION Amidat royal splendor and pomp the greatest advocate of the lowly Nazarene uttered these words: “Wherefore, O King Agrippa, 1 -was not disobedient to the heaven- jy vision.” What ha meant was ‘that when he was awakened by the ‘Ho'y Spirit ae he journeyed from Jerusalem to Damascus he did not resist the influénce of the third person of the. Divine Trinity. His cobvergion was. miraculous and sudden. The light blinded and the voice spoke to him. He was on’a mission that had. the approval and support of the great Sanhedrim Court, ‘The successful execution of its plans would open to Saul a place of commanding influence among’ his co-religionists. The heavenly vision arrested him. He heard the wards of the Lord Jesus: “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” He asked: “‘Who art thou Lord?” The answer was, “Iam Jesus, whom thou perscutest”? Saul makes unconditional surrender in the following inqmry: ‘Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?”" ‘The changes wrought upon Paul ‘were physical and spiritual. He was struck with temporary blind- nese and had to'be lead into Damas- cus. Instead of him making others captives, he had been captured for the One whose caiise he had only a short while before pledged himself to destroy here was also,a spirit- ual revolution within hia mind and heart. Saul had become Paul, There had come into his life the re- entoreement of the personality of Jesus Christ. Judaism and its hopes no longer inspired Paul. He had_ yielded his all to the conquest of the crucified and risen Chriat, ‘The attainments of his towering intellect and passion ot his devoted heart were given over for service to the Man of Galilee, He deter- mined to be His bund slave for all time. The vision of Paul was permanent in its effects upon his after life. lt formed the basis of his many years of personal Christian experi- ence. That he may be the better understood I give his own words: “I know in whom-I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that. which I have commit- ted. unto him against that day.”’ “Lam crucified with Christ never- theless I live, yet not 1; but Christ liveth in me, and the life I now live. im jthe {flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave hiinself for me,” “{ can do ull things throvgh Christ which strengtheneth.me,’” Hear his immortal valedictory: “For 1 am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept thefaith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a erown of righteous- ness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them that love his appearing. The vision was the inspiration of his three missionary tours, which he made for the purpose of per- avading men to yield to his Lord GALWEANS IN SESSION The ith annual convention G: U. 0. of F: of G. of E. and W.

In his travels by land and sea, he was. beaten by his enemies, imprisoned, shipwrecked and underwent many other great privations. But the inspiration of the vision he had of.the blessed Christ cheered him to dare-and do for Him whose he was and whom he loved. It made effective his speech so that Felix trembled and Agrippa was compelled to acknow!- edge: ‘‘Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.’’ {t. fructi- fied and molded the ideas of his theology which find their crystali- zation in the doctrines of the Atonement in Jesus Christ and justification by faith as set forth in hia epistles to the Romans and Galatians. The matchless argument for the resurrection of the dead contained in I Corinthians 15th Chapter. There is also in addition in his other writings matter that is invaluable for instruction in practical Christian living. ‘The reason the heavenly vision was an ever.present experience with Paul was because of his obedi- ence to it. He knew it was far better to obey and follow it than it would be to reject it and turn away from it. The. vision could be re- aisted. It did not rob Paul of his freedom of choice. He was still a free moral agent. He was fully aware that.obedience to it requir- ed of him great self-denial and. the renouncing of hopes that had been held before him from his earliest childhood recollections, © With him the die had !been east and all hie powers. were dictated to his Re- deemer. He knew that if the high destiny for which he had been sent into the world was to come to fruitage in him it must be through obedience to the call that had come to him on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus, Obedi- ence to the heavenly vision leads to the happy consummation of our earthly careers wh.le disohedience always has a tragic termination. There are worldly visioas, which if obeyed will lure the young down ward and wreck careers which otherwise would bless the world. ‘Tne things which beckon heaven- ward are to be followed and those leading in the- opposite direction are to be shunned. * Obedience. to the heavenly viigon’ means light from God in all periods and vicissitudes of life. ‘The pillow of cloud by day. and the pillow of fire by night were of unspeakable worth to the chil- dren of Israel in their pilgrimage. The heavenly vision will be to-all who obey it, ‘‘a light that never was on land or sea’’; ever’ bright- ening, ‘long as the eternal ages roll.”” “Not of the sunlight, Not of the moonight, Not of the starlight! 0, young Mariner, Down to the haven, Call your companions, Launeli your vessel, And, ere it vanishes, Over the harizon Aiter it, follow it, Follow the Gleam.’’ Octavia Parker, Virginia Gooch, Fannie Robinson; Madéline Moine, Annie Hammond. ‘Mr. Wm, H, Garrett, D.

McDaniels maintained his position againet Hubert, defeating him in straight sets, 6-2-6-4. Thureday he routed Wright 6-3 6-4, Me- Daniels failed to better his position at the hands of Wheeler, who beat him in straight sets, Ross easily beat Weaver 6-3; 6-2, In the first set of their match Reckling walked over Cardoza 6-1; the latter rallied in the second how: ever and won 6-2. In the finals Cardoza was forced up to the limit to win 8-6. In defending his title against Ross, Murphy was compelled -to plav 5 sets.

Place an A Here THE COLONEL IN THE WINDY CITY Chicago, Ill.,—When the Lord made this world, there was some good work done and there is no getting around it. This is indeed a great world and I have from time to time called upon some one to help me to make a world, and this has not been done, and it looks as if I am going to have to go to my grave without getting to make one. I note from time to time that we have turned out so many people from various schools of the county and some of them without jobs, that it was my desire to give them something to do by having them take a part in my world making. But the question was if I should make a better world where I put it. Since I found that I was without place to put my world, I have decided that the better thing after all would be to strive to help make this world and then help in the meantime to make a life, and this I am going to do without any reference to cost. They tell me that the world is calling for a man and is calling loud. I heard a big man making a speech the other day in which he said that there was once a big man who went thru the streets with a light in his hand right in the day looking for a man. I was inclined to say that the fellow was crazy, when the man explained that there are many trousers in this world, but all were not men-filled. This is yet a puzzle to me and I will give it up and see in my age just what I can do. I have something up my sleeve and I expect to spring it in a short time. I have in mind some clothes that I am going to take off and let you see just what has been filling them, and you will then understand what has given rise to what I am trying to say to you and others. Then I have been a little under the weather, and this may account for some things I have said. When I took my pen in hand to write to you before, I was in the city of Birmingham, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Jackson. I was the guest of Dr. U. G. Mason, but spent most of my time in the home of Dr. Jackson. Mrs. Jackson is just one of them refined polished young women who stand for something in this world. She was active in forming the Y. W. C. A. in Birmingham, and they have a good start there now, and are doing something for the people. Speaking of the Y. W. C. A. in Birmingham, reminds me that there is nothing there for the young men, not as much as a reading room. Of course they have churches and plenty of them. But they have only the pool room and places of business operated by our people to spend their idle time, or in some den of shame. How can we save the young men in this manner? I would like to have some one rise and tell and do it quickly. I know there are a few club rooms and the Elk's rest, but these are confined to the favored few, and then there are the masses who are sweeping down and destroying a great race of people. Birmingham is not the only place cf this kind in the country and I would not have you think so, but I was in Birmingham, saw the big money handed there by our people, and this is why I am having this sarc about it. But all of my time was not spent in Birmingham. I spent a Sunday there, and had a few things to say. Now this is how I used the day: Addressed the Shiloh Baptist School and preached at Shiloh at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. At 3 p. m., I spoke to men only at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. J. A. Whitted, pastor. Dr. Jackson had an automobile ready for me and carried me to the Sixth Avenue Baptist, Church, where I spoke to women only at 5 o'clock, and in the afternoon, and at 8 o'clock preached in the same church. That was some busy. Monday morning bright and early I got up and went to the home of Dr. U. G. Mason, and had a fine breakfast, but did not remain long before I had to go back to Tuscaloosa. Soon, the man was after my trunks, and I loaded on for the L. and N. stable. I was to go with one of the best known women of our race, Mrs. C. A. Tuggle, of Birmingham, who is at the head of the Court of Caldwell. The Grand Lodge met in Tuscaloosa, and Grand Chancellor R. A. Blount, with his brave Knights was right on hand. We all went together. Blount is not the best looking man in the world, but then he is a man who has made friends, and who stands in the hearts of men. It seems that every act of his is to make a friend. He works side by side by side with Mrs. Tuggle and shows a disposition to encourage her because of her good work. Mrs. Tuggle has made her place and her name in this world will ever live. The school which she has founded will give her a place in the history of race and country, and you can't get away from the truth of this. Reaching Tuscaloosa, the Tuggle Institute Band filed in line and led the delegates to the church, where the meeting was held, and where it was thought that something would happen. The women met in the First African Baptist Church and they had a great session. I am so glad that I was there and got some of that inspiration. Mrs. Fannie M. Crosby seemed to take special interest in me. She is the Register of Deeds, or in other words, Mrs. Tuggle's secretary. Roscoe C. Simmons was there at the Grand Lodge and took special interest in it. He all but presided during the whole session, and he delivered one more speech. It seems that that fellow was just born to talk and he is some talker, Spending three or four days there, I then started for the city where I am now. Coming to Louisville over the L. and N. then on to this place over the Pennsylvania. I find that they are getting ready for the National Baptist Convention here, and I am sorry that I will not be able to attend all the meetings in the world. They are going to have one of the big times here. The people are going to attend, and if you are a Baptist you ought to come also. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the National Training School is going to open the eyes of the public. You may not know Miss Burroughs, but it would pay you to get acquainted with her, for she is one of the women who has helped to do for the race. Time will not permit me to tell you all about things. God bless you. I am in to be in Baltimore, Md, and if you have any mail for me send it there to 628 N. Eutaw street. I am going to make some few talks there before I start for Chicago. Look out for me. I will be at Trinity, and with Rev. A. L. Gaines, and have promised to preach for Sharp St. for one service. I will perhaps tell you in my next letter. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

JORDAN'S PEAGE PLEA. Secretary of Foreign Mission Board Issues Open Letter In Which Ho Offers Remedy For the Present Discord Among the Leaders—Explains Laws Governing the Convention. Philadelphia. The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the national Baptist convention will be held in Chicago beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 8. With the view of harmonizing the leaders of the various departments of the work, the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the convention, with headquarters at 624 South Eighteenth street, this city, has issued the following open letter to the members of the organization. Dr. Jordan says: In the exciting controversy about the "commission form of government" and "chartering of the national convention" now going on our brothers have said some hard things about each other, and that in print too, "Liar," "breaking in fall," "deceivers," and such like we have called one another, but no one has suggested that we pray. Like a vulture tugging at the vitals of its prey, oh, how we have born each other! Shall it be said that that it is in keeping with their racial traits? There are two sets of brethren, holding opposing opinions as to the best method of running the affairs of the national Baptist convention—both meaning well. Knowing we are all here to stay "until death doth us part," why not think first before harshly judging one another? Read and consider these seven facts; do what is best for the cause. Fact 1—As for the big commission, there is none. It is the executive board of the national Baptist convention with all the rights, powers and privileges of an executive board. Its creation and power were given by the national Baptist convention and are used in fact 2—This executive board is composed of the vice presidents of the various states, most of whom are presidents of their state conventions and are usually the best men of the states; the officers of the national convention, chairman and secretary of the vice presidents of the various states; the men who have no personal ends to gain; in fact, they are our brethren and only hope to have transmitted to our denomination for religious purposes, property and good will, accumulated by these boards as planned by the national Baptist convention, for which they purposes for which it was organized. Fact 3—There are only two of our boards known as "national Baptist boards." Others, including our women, are the board or auxiliary of the national Baptist board. Others, including our national Baptist boards, are the creatures of the national Baptist convention also. The officers and members of the two national Baptist boards never intended disloyalty, but it just happened so. When it happened, like concluding children, we did not correct it. We were careful reading of the charter it will be seen: A. The charter says in plain words what our present constitution includes. our present constitution implies. B. At present the national convention is being held every member of the boards, through the state delegations, at its annual sessions. C. The boards so elected when organized (and this was intended to be done at the annual session of the convention) deict their officers. This has been done, followed by all but one board, by the boards is the property of their creators—the national Baptist convention—and under our constitution the convention can order its disposal in the interest of any debts owed on any work so controlled by said board. Fact 5—The charter does not provide the body may decide by vote or by bylaws, just as it has been doing for thirty-four years. B. The charter is not "so drastic" that it does not provide, after all that the national convention shall have a constitution and bylaws; telling how its officers are to be elected; telling how the time and date of notice shall be selected. Fact 6.—The seven incorporations are not perpetual; they die when we meet and adopt our constitution and bylaws. With us, the directors will be known as the ex-board of the national Baptist convention. We can let the selection of the board remain as it is; hence when a man fails of election by his state delegation, as a vice-president of the national Baptist convention, whoever succeeds him, by the vote of his state, becomes a member of the executive committee, so with officers of the convention and boards: failure of election will fill their places with those who succeed them. Is not this fair? Then why should our readers lose their heads over thoughtless articles from the pens of what seems prayerless men? "In your patience possess ye your souls" are the words of Jesus. Fact 7.—The convention can decide in its new constitution that no president shall succeed himself at all, or not more than twice, or they can agree that he may succeed himself four times and he may be elected the nation's convention president. The national enchant that the executive committee shall consist of twenty-one members, seven of whom shall be elected every year, thus allowing fourteen to hold over from year to year. The national Baptist convention can say by new constitution. No money can be the people for one purpose shall be diverted to be decided, to do otherwise will be dishonest. Now, Brethren, let us cease biting and decawring each other. Let us prayerfully "ask wisdom of God, who giveth to all Elegantly and upbraideth not," and go to Chicago, not with casual weapons nor in our own strength, but as servants of the Most High-go as men serving the interest of our people; as men looking to the God of the present and the future for guidance. Caesar and Napoleon were great men. Where are they? Cany dust. Only the good or evil they did lives after them. Oh, so many big talking men whom we knew in associations and conventions, men who loved "prominence among the brethren," are gone and not remembered by us among whom they caused discord! All of these things are matters of the national convention, of which each of us is a humble member, so why lose our heads, show ourselves unfit to serve as pastors or in any other capacity us leaders among all all too excitable people, who will love, hate, help or hinder—largely on our advice. There is power in prayer. We tell our people about Daniel and the Hebrews being delivered through prayer. Now, as men, let us practice what we preach, and at Chicago preach what we should practice at home. There is a story told of Mr. D. L. Moody, how he was led into international service. The fire in Chicago had destroyed his church and scattered his people. While waiting for the finishing of his new building he went to Europe to hear the leading preachers and to study their methods of work. On one Sunday morning he was invited to spend the day with one of the largest churches. At the forenoon service things seemed cold; everything was draggy until the great preacher regretted that he had an engagement for evening service. However, on returning to the evening service he found the house crowded. The services began about as the morning services ended, but along about the middle of the sermon the atmosphere completely changed. At the close an appeal was made to the ussured, and to the utter surprise of the preacher a large number arose in response to the invitation. Mr. Moody was confused and concluded that the people did not understand him. So he asked again, "All of you who wish to become Christians please retire to the adjoining room." A number of those retiring became Christians, and a great revival broke out, resulting in the conversion of hundreds of happy souls. Mr. Moody sought the cause of this unusual awakening and traced it to the room of an invalid member of the church, a Christian worker who for years had prayed that Mr. Moody might preach in her church. On that midnight Sunday, having heard after the morning service from her sister that Mr. Moody had spoken that morning, this Christian intercessor, refusing to eat her midday meal, gave herself to prayer during the entire afternoon. It was the final tug in the long pull of years of intercession. It followed that this not only brought great blessings to this community, but placed Mr. Moody into a position of international leadership, made possible his widening spheres of influence and blessing throughout the world. COLOR DISCRIMINATION AT ITS HEIGHT IN THE SOUTH Northern Paper Calls Attention to Injustice on Public Conveyances. Under the caption "Breaking the Jim Crow Law" the New York Times says editorially: There has been a good deal of complaining in Tennessee likely about the way in which the jim Crow car rule is evaded. Persons who have found themselves affronted and inconnienced by the intusion of members of the other race have written letters to the newspapers about it and expressed their discontent in other ways. Despite the law which ordains that members of the white race shall ride in one part of the car and members of the colored race in the other, there are bumptious and aggressive persons who insist on invading the territory set apart for the race to which they do not belong. Naturally the feeling aroused is one of just irritation, and there is a demand that the rule be enforced. The curious thing about it is that it is the white race against which the complaint is levied. Negroes present the intrusion of inconsiderate white men into the space reserved for them, and demand that the intruders be forced to stay where they belong. The Chattahooga Times justly and severely remarks that these white men seem to hold the doctrine, eroneously ascribed to Chief Justice Taney, that the black man has no rights the white man is bound to respect. Certainly one of the black man's rights is the right to keep the whites out of his section of a jimrow car, and Tennessee is singularly tax in according this right to him. In many parts of Virginia, for instance, all a negro has to do if he finds a white man sitting in the "colored section" is to step up and order him to surrender his seat, and the white man either stands up or is put out. It makes no difference that there are no seats in the "white section" and that he will have to stand; he stands. We hope that little five foot Irish conductor is still working on the Falls Church troglodyte who once, when two six-foot white men insisted on sitting in the "colored section," tucked them single handed with both fists and threw them out on the road in a wood four miles from the nearest village and made them tramp home with bruised noses at midnight. He was little and scrawny and would never have been accepted for military service, but resisting his edicts did not come under the head of "amusements." Chattanooga should send to Fairfax county, Va., or to Newport News and import a few of these impartial and indomitable conductors. The protest of the Tennessee negroes is just. They have some rights that the white man is bound to respect, and one of them is the right to choose their company, and we would add among races and individuals with whom they may conserve their best interest in every line of industry. INDUSTRIAL HOME SCHOOL OPENS FOR WAYWARD GIRLS Constructive Work of Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. An industrial school for wayward colored girls, founded by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, has been opened on a small scale at Peake, in Hanover county, Va. The colored women of Virginia have raised nearly $6,000 and have bought a farm of 147 acres. They have received from white friends over $2,000. The legislature of Virginia has appropriated $6,000. Girls are now working on the land and living in temporary quarters. They are learning habits of industry, punctuality and self control. The site meets the requirements of the home for accessibility, water supply, drainage and water power. The home school has the indorsement, sympathy and co-operation of those who command the confidence of the people of Virginia. Some 500 wayward colored girls in Virginia are in need of home care and industrial training. These girls will fall into trouble and reach the jails unless a helping hand is extended to them. Jails are hotbeds of moral disease from which these girls should be kept. Wayward girls are often feeble minded. They need protection and not punishment, interesting work and not abuse or exploitation. They are now a liability to the state and nation. They can be helped through an improved environment. Janie Porter Barrett, a graduate of Hampton Institute and the founder of the Locust Street Social settlement in Hampton, Va., who is the secretary of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Club, is making an appeal for money which must be provided for food, clothing, farm implements, household furnishings, new cottages and growth to meet real needs. She has succeeded in collecting the cooperation of hundreds in this social service work, in which Virginia is taking the lead. The board of managers and building committee represent the best interests of white and colored Virginians. They include Mrs. Henry L. Schueck, Hampton; Mrs. Beverly Munford, Richmond; Captain John L. Roper, Norfolk; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Richmond; Rev. W. R. Bowie, Richmond; Rev. William H. Stokes, Richmond; Miss Mary Haw, Hanover; Mrs. Frank W. Darling, Hampton; Mrs. Harris Barret, Hampton; Major R. R. Moton, Hampton institute, and Dr. J. T. Mastin, Richmond. Mr. Frank W. Darling, the well known oyster packer, of Hampton, Va., is the treasurer. He is also one of the trustees of Hampton institute and for many years has been a helpful friend to good colored people. The home school project, in short, has enlisted the co-operation and support of warm hearted, farsighted men and women regardless of race or social position. The colored club women of Virginia are determined to make this pioneer work a distinct success. GEE HEADS OHIO KNIGHTS. State Grand Lodge of Pythians Elects Able Staff of Officers.

Tention this paper when written Until this time there is no clue to the man or men, who have entered homes in the North-west section, while the owners were off on excursions to Brown's Grove, and relieved them of various articles of jewelry and clothing. A house on Carey-street was entered by foregoing the front door with a "Jimmy" after opening the storm door, which was left unlocked. The thief here got a very valuable watch but left a suit of clothes after having tried it on, because it was too large. On Argyle avenue some commencement presents were missed. Loot was packed in a suit case in a Linden avenue home, but the intruder became frightened and left it in the dining room. Both houses were entered from the rear. Whether you are to be away for the day or for the rest of vacation, all needful precautions are to be urged to prevent the repetition of such burglaries. First of all be sure that every window is securely astened, and that valuables are stored in places not easily accessible. Next inform the policeman on your beat of your absence, and if he cannot be readily found, make the report to the station house. Finally ask your immediate neighbors to keep a look-out and inform the police of any suspicious persons seen lingering on the premises.
