NO. 2 SENTIMENT FOR WARBURTON GROWS Tired of Stone Rule, People All Over The State Ars Organizing to Defeat His Can The candidacy of William T. Warburton for the Repubilicum gubernatorial nomination is growing in favor close observers say. O. E. Weller, who is opposing him, was thought to have what would practically amount to a walkover a month ago but the accessions to the Warburton ranks have been such as to frighten those in the other camp. One of the finest orators in the State and with a pleasing personality, everywhere he has been he has made a fine impression. His speech at the Emancipation Celebration at Bethel A. M. E. Church Tuesday night and the one at the Colonial Theater the night before made many votes for him, his friends assert. Up in Cecil county, where Mr. Warburton lives, people of both races greatly admire him. As a member of the State Board of Education, he has urged that the terms of the colored schools in the counties be lengthened. He says that if he is elected Governor he will aim to have the school year increased in the counties and that all the people may rely upon him as their Governor. In the city many people not tied to the Stone regime will support his candidacy. They claim that the e is no disputing the fact that Weller has made a good chairman of the State Roads Commission, but that the present ruling regime must be gotten rid of. They claim that William F. Stone has controlled the city organization since 1897, but that the Republicans have not won a fight. Instead, Republican majorities are decreasing each year. They claim that Stone's friends did not loyally support the mayoralty campaign of Frank C. Wachter in 1903 or that of Heintzman last May. Stone they claim, only wants to control the Maryland delegation to the next Republican National Convention... Men deeply interested in the success of the Republican party, say that the control of federal patronage is not needed, but that the PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. election is one purely for Governor and the building up of a party in Maryland that will not always be in the minority. Levi Thompson, who is one of the leading spirits in the Warburton campaign in this city, asserts that Republicans need a new deal in order to triumph in this city. He declares that the Republican vote in this city has greatly decrease under the present regime. WELLER PARTISANS MEET Collector Stone had a number of his colored supporters at a meeting Tuesday night. Among them were Rev. Ernest Lyon, A. L. Gaines, W. M. Alexander and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings. All expressed their loyalty to Stone and Weller. H. M. St. Clair, John W. Johns and John W. Matthews, all of Cambridge had a conference with the Weller people Thursday. That Mr. Warburton's friends are active was indicated by a conference of ward men held this week. Assurances were given that thousands of Republicans are tired of the present rulers and that a decisive blow against its continuance must be struck in the primaries on September 14. A conference of representative men of the race will be held at the Warburton headquarters one night next week, at which they will be plainly told that the only salvation will be to vote for a new City Committee. SECRETARY OF CHICAGO EXPOSITION FORGED OUT Chicago, September 3.---Thomas Wallace Swann, the originator of the plan to hold the big exposition now in progress here, has been "fired" from his job as secretary of the commission that planned the affair. Swann has been a stormcenter ever since he has been drawing $125 a month as secretary of the commission. His colleagues say that Swann has not accounted for various sums of money passing through his hands, and this totals more than $1,000, they say. Meanwhile the controversy has been on some money that the State appropriated for the Exposition remains looked upon vaults at Springfield. The employees of the exposition had to receive their wages last Saturday out of the gate receipts. Swann was fired Monday on charges of alleged insubordination, neglect of duty and failure to account for funds placed in his care. LEDGER BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 4, 1915 S. S. AND E. L. WORKERS MEET Plans Discussed for Extension of Social Service Work in Sunday Schools and Epworth Leagues. Plans ofr the extension of social service work to Sunday Schools and Epworth Leagues were discussed at the 23rd annual session of the Sunday School and Epworth League Convention of the Baltimore District of the Washington Conference this week. The convention opened Wednesday at Metropolitan M. E. Church with many churches represented. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. C. A. Tindley, of Philadelphia, a large audience greeting him. The delegates, led by Rev. John A. Holmes marched to the church in a body from Druid' Hill avenue and Dolphin street Thursday morning, after which they listened to a sermon by Rev. A. J. Mitchell. Robert L. Hooper, secretary of the Maryland Sunday School Union delivered an address in which he urged the importance of studying the Bible. Charles Stewart, the well known newspaper correspondent congratulated the delegates on the work being one and urged that they work ardently for the social and religious uplift of the race. A round table on Sunday School problems was marked by an interesting discussion. E. B. Orem, of New Market and Rev. H. A. Brooks, of Mt. Winans urged that Sunday Schools in the rural districts take up the question of country life uplift. A guild of play attracted the attention of the delegates late Thursday afternoon. Mrs. E. J. Truxon head of the social service department, told of the work being done to aid young women attending Morgan College. LAYMEN NEEDED 3 That laymen are the ones upon whom the church must depend for results was asserted by George A. Owens. He said that Pope Urban II declared that the Holy Land must be wrested from the infidels but it remained for a layman Geoffrey of Bouillon to accomplish the same. H. H. Meyer of Cincinnati editor [Picture of a man in a suit with a mustache]. of the Sunday School Times declared that the modern Sunday School movement should be extended. Following a Sunday School massmeeting James Harris delivered an address of welcome to the delegates to which R. W. Stennet made the response. The speakers at Friday's sessions included Revs. W. W. Lucas, C. H. Matthews, J. W. E. Bowen, N. M. Carroll, Miss Bessie Maynard, L. G. Hubert and Prof. William Pickens the new dean of Morgan College. Not only did Prof. Pickens praise the Epworth League movement but he declared that it could do great service in aiding college students. Dr. Carroll gave some interesting sidelights on his experiences during his ministry of 50 years. Rev. D. W. Hays, superintendent of the district, has been kept busy directing the work and counseling those who sought his views. Miss M. Edythe Cooper, who is one of the most untiring church workers in the city has been active, like wise George A. Owens, George I. Simns, Miss Bessie Maynard and others. A pilgrimage will be made to Druid Hill Park this morning where the delegates will hold a religious meeting and afterward listen to addresses by Rev. I. L. Thomas, Luther Mitchell and others. A demonstration for Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools will be given on Grove 2 and in the afternoon the delegates will go to Brown's Grove. The convention will open with a love feast at Metropolitan Church tomorrow at 6.30. A visit to the Sunday School of the church will precede the preaching of a special sermon by Rev. John A. Holmes. A massmeeting of the junior leagues will be held at 3 p.m. and at 5 o'clock the Epworth League will offer a special program. Following the installation of officers at night, Rev. W. N. Holv will conduct evangelistic services. MRS. ELLEN TURNER LAID TO REST The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Turner took place from St. John A. M. E. Church, W. Lexington street, Thursday afternoon and was largely attended. The deceased was a member of the church for the past forty years, and was connected with the Sunday School of which she was a teacher for more than forty five years. She was active in the work of the church filling the position of stewardess, a member of a number of auxiliaries, and president and founder of the Gaines' Circle of that church. She was also a member of the Order of Good Hopes and the G. U. O. of E. & S. and S. & D. of Moses. Mrs. Turner was 66 years of age at the time of her death, and leaves two daughters, Mrs. Ida Costen and Ada Page, as well as a number of relatives. Resolutions of sympathy were read from the Sunday School Womens Mite Missionary Society, Gaines Circle, Sons and Daughters of Allen and her class members. Rev. P. W. Wortham, pastor of the church delivered the eulogy, PRICE THREE CENTS K. OF P. CASE AGAIN IN COURT K. OF P. CASE AGAIN IN COURT Washington, September 1.---The supsension of the Virginia Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias is again in court, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia through Justice F. L. Siddons, having issued a rule against certain officials of the Supreme Lodge of the Order as to why they should not be adjudged in contempt for not reinstating Virginia, as has been ordered by the court. The rule is directed against S. W. Green, of New Orleans, the Supreme Chancellor; Dr. E. E. Underwood; Frankfort, Ky., supreme keeper of records and seal; S. A. T. Watkins, Chicago, the supreme attorney, and R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, the major general of the uniform rank. They are given until October 5th to answer. The Virginia Grand Lodge was suspended more than two years ago for alleged refusal to pay certain taxes. John Mitchell, Jr., and a delegation from that State were refused admittance at the sessions of the Supreme Lodge of the Order, held in Baltimore two years ago. Court proceedings were subsequently instituted, with the result that the Supreme Lodge was ordered to reinstate Virginia. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and his associates refused to admit the Supreme Representatives of the Grand Lodge to the sessions of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, Ohio, and also declined to recognize them as members of the Order in any way although the order of the Supreme Court had been served upon them and printed copies had been distributed to members of the Supreme Lodge. The Virginia delegation remained in Columbus until Friday evening, August 21, 1915, after which time they left for home. They first notified the Spureme Lodge through counsel that they WHY YOU AS A REPUBLICAN SHOULD SUPPORT O. E. WELLER FOR GOVERNOR He has made a success of his own affairs and of the greatest enterprise the State has undertaken. His work has added to the prestige of the Goldsborough Administration. He has the cordial good will of all the great Baltimore dailies. He has been endorsed by every Republican State Senator, by every Republican Candidate for Congress and by the Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1914, by both Republican candidates for Mayor of Baltimore City in 1915, by the Republican National Committeeman, by the vast majority of Republican leaders and by THOUSANDS of solid Republicans throughout the State. He can be elected; for he will receive (1) the straight Republican vote, (2) the Roosevelt vote and (3) the Independent vote. His opponent could poll only the first. For the general good of the Party will you not also aid in his nomination? Vote for WELLER and DUER PRIMARIES ARE ON TUESDAY, SEPT. 14 Supreme Lodge Officers Must Show Cause Why They Should Not Be Adjudged in Contempt of Courf would take this course. On Saturday the Supreme Lodge voted again to revoke the charter of Virginia after a stormy debate. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was not represented at the time and no notice had been given to its representatives as to when the case would be taken up. The specific part of the injunction which affects the contempt proceedings is as follows: "Adjudged orderved and decreed that the defendants and each of them and their officers, agents and attorneys and all others on their behalf, be and they are herbey restrained during the pendency of this suit, or until further order of the Court from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate to the plaintiff in the State of Virginia and the members attached to the same as not entitled to the rights and privileges of members of the order of the defendant corporation." BAPTISTS TO HAVE HOT TIME Chicago, Ill. Sept.2.-Everything is in readiness for the National Baptist Convention next week, and already some of the advance guards are on the scene and are making ready for one of the biggest conventions ever held in the history of the organization. For a long time Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the convention and Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board have not been sleeping in the same bed nor have they been using the same glasess to view the work. They have been getting further and further apart. The first issue was that Boyd held two positions and that there were many other able men who ought to be recognized. At Philadelphia the Boyd faction lost out and Dr. Jos. A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock was elected secretary to the Home Mission Board. This made Boyd's friend open their eyes. Because Dr. Booker held another big position. All the year the papers have been full of the fight, and the combatants will meet in the ring. Both sides have many friends, and will fight to the bitter end, if Dr. Morris insists that the charter which was secured in the District of Columbus is legal, and if he is sustained another convention will be organized.

SEPT. 4, 1915 The darkness falls, alone I sit at case, The church bells send their message far and wide, Light fancies linger in the evening breeze, I dream of other days at eventide---- A longed-for face, a gently whispered name, Thou, heart of my heart, heart's very own? My arms stretch out for thee----in vain, I face the coming of the night alone. "Chicago must be Ill—the doctors' convention is there for one week."—Pittsburgh Courier, Yep, it must be Ill-o-noise. "The Birth of a Nation," writes Thomas: Dixon. "The Birth of a (Dam)nation," suggests the St. Louis Fraternal Clarion. Which is just as appropriate as placing the "Damn" before "Birth." In Winnipeg, according to the Canadian Observer, colored people are finding difficulty in securing meals at restaurants. In Toronto one theatre has set aside the balcony for colored patrons and the best hotel has refused to receive Negroes. No doubt there are other instances of Americans abroad. "My house shall be called a house of prayer." Using the church for anything else than worship, for the effort to bring religious sanction to bear upon political candidates and platforms, may not in itself injure the church, but it does indicate the lack of reverence for one of the first principles of the Founder. The address of Secretary Boyd, of the Negro Press Association, in Boston week before last, can be summed up in the six words of an old Indian Chief, after listening to a long-drawn-out oration of a white man who was endearcing to show why the Indians should give up their lands to the white man: "Big wind. Much dust. No rain." One thousand dollars to Mrs. Coleridge-Taylor, widow of the great composer; one hundred dollars to his mother, and two hundred dollars to each of the children until they reach the age of twenty-one. These pensions are the estimate the British Government sets upon the work of a great man. But Coleridge-Taylor did not write "Tipperary." In Education lies the only hope of relief from the lawlessness manifested in the South. We in Maryland have a school system inferior to that of some states farther south. Ergo the threats of lynching Shepherd in Denton recently. There are so many men in these days and times who "trim their sails to every passing breeze" that is real refreshing to note the lives of two men who have recently passed away and who were residents of this city for many years. We refer to Rev. C. W. Mossell and Thomas G. Hayes. These men stood for what they thought was right and were not to be swerved from, the course they had marked out when once they were convinced that they were right. That they made many mistakes goes without saying. Any man who cudeavors to steer a straight course, as he sees it, is bound to make mistakes, simply because he is human; but, with all his mistakes, he accomplishes much that is worth while, both to himself and to the community. Such were the lives of these two men. They made mistakes, many of them, but the community is very much better for the example they have set of standing for the right as one sees the right. Here is a lesson to many of our young men who are just starting life. A firm stand for what they believe is right is always to be commended. It does not always turn out that they are right and that they are doing the best thing at that particular time and for that particular purpose, but the very fact that they are standing fast for what they believe is right gives them a strong mind and a strong leadership among men. It is worth while to think matters of this kind over and direct one's life so that whether time shows that the thing contended for is wrong or right, one has the consciousness that he has tried as best he knew to be right. Had either or both of these men been of the character of those who have their ears constantly to the ground to find out the popular will or desire they might have risen to greater power and place, but such would have been won at a sacrifice of manhood and of all that made them, after all, really great. These men were not compromisers; they stood squarely on their own feet, and when they took a stand they stayed there regardless of favorable or unfavorable criticism. The world needs more men of the kind of Rev. Charles W. Mossell at the Hon. Thomas G. Hayes. LINCOLN JUBILEE Chicago is the real Mecca for three very notable gatherings. This week closes the seventeenth annual meeting of the National Medical Association, attended by more than four hundred doctors with their families from all parts of the country, and State Street, from 29th to 30th, is in gala attire a week in advance in preparation for the annual convention of Elks. More significant than these is the interest manifested in the Lincoln Jubilee and fifty years of Freedom celebration, which opened at the Coliseum August 22nd and will continue each day until September 16th. The celebration was made possible by a $75,000 celebration by Illinois and contributions from nineteen other States, and is regulated by a commission appointed by the Governor of the State of Illinois. One-half hour before the opening on last Sunday six thousand people filed past the sixteen-foot statue of the Great Emancipator and into the Coliseum; three thousand more were turned away by the police. A chorus of one thousand voices sang the "Hallelujah" chorus as few have heard it sung. This, however, only marks the beginning. Phenomenal crowds thronged the buildings and viewed the exhibits during the week. On Michigan Day, when the Governor of that State and other notables attended, ten thousand persons passed through the gates. The exhibition itself and the nation's appreciation of what it stands for are creditable and worth more than passing notice. Illinois is endeavoring to demonstrate what fifty years of freedom have meant to the Negro. After the war and the Emancipation men doubted the wisdom of Lincoln's course; even now there are those who find it hard to be convinced that the Negro is not a beast, but a human being deserving equality under the law. Among us are those who remember well the days before the war; these men do not need to be convinced; they know that Lincoln was right-right a thousand times. Exhibits of the two million school children and of hundreds of business firms bespeak a progress that is undeniable and a will of the Negro to win his rightful recognition. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER ROCK ON WHICH WE BUILD Mr. Editor: consider it one of the greatest privilege of my life to speak in behalf of your paper. The Afro-American Ledger, and your associate staff in its approval to the year of Silver Jubilee. With esteem I congratulate you with the highest commendation. Beyond question it is the fore- most reason why I am listed in these United States and the insular possessions. The editorial comments, in their impartial dealing with all subjects in its teaching, produce a prestige of powerful influence for good in whatever household it reaches, touching both spiritual and temporal affairs of life in general. The success of your paper is remarkable from the time it started in its infancy from a four page paper called the Sunday School Helper. I prayfully hope when a few more years roll around you will give us a daily paper. As an humble servant amidst the sacrifices you have made a successful voyage. Therefore, being one of your teachers, being one of your truths of facts above stated. For its worth we have no inventory to take for the valuation or assets of this paper to prove its benefits to the race, for its enterprise and achievements speak for themselves. May God's blessing overshadow you and your official staff, and that your editorial career may be brilliant the present as it has been in the past. To The Afro-American Ledger: Surely I want to congratulate the Afro-American Ledger on its 25th anniversary and courageous and successful past, is enjoying a splendid and confident present, and I wish for it an untainted and glorious future. May the Afro-American grow—in the number of subscribers, yes; but more important than that, in faith and good works. May truly yours, M. EDYTH COOPER. Dear Sir: My presence at the military training camp here has delayed my answer to your letter. I believe that the colored press is one of the most valuable instruments for race progress which the American Negro has at his command, and even any papers have with him the instruments of life or more honorably than the Afro-American Ledger. I wish you all success in your future career. Very truly yours, J. E. SPINGARN. Camp of Instruction, Regular Troops, Plattshurg, N. Y. August 26, 1915. Winchester, Va., Aug. 21, 1915. To The Editor of the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir— I wish to congratulate you upon the successful piloting of your splendid paper for so many years. "Keep on Reepin' on" is something worth doing. Our week herein Winchester is measured by the appearance of your grand paper. May God bless you. Yours for the race. REV. J. LUTHER MARTIN. UNITED STATES SURRENDERS To the Editor: In every instance, regardless of the victim, lynching is robed in the cap of shame and gown of disgrace, and no respectable citizen should be proud of a country with such reproachable stigma in this enlightened day of advanced modern civilization. But when this dastardly crime appears so flasher as in Leo Frank's case and no one is found responsible for the murder, we must welcome Georgia, will someone who is familiar with American law and procedure kindly answer for information the following opportune questions? 1. In what capacity has the Fed 2. taken steps to improve its 3. clients in each respective state? 2. If the Federal Constitution constitutes the supreme law of the United States of America, and its 14th Amendment solemnly declares, "No one shall be deprived of LIFE, LIBERTY or PROPERTY without due process of law," then whenever a lynching is committed, this statute or amendment violated? And if violated, is it not the duty of the Federal Government to exercise its rights and uphold its Constitution regardless of any state law or States Rights wherein a Federal law is violated? 4. To what extent, if any, are the Federal laws subjected or rendered void by any state laws? Or when did the United States Government surrender the entire rights of its citizens to States Rights laws? 5. And if the federal law is consumed, why can a worthless and meaningless Constitution Amendment on the Federal statute books? 6. If, however, this Federal Amendment was not changed, nullified or superceded by any States Rights, should not the Federal Government send detectives to Georgia to hunt down and arrest the murderers of Leo Frank, inasmuch as the state condones the crime, which was perpetrated upon a citizen of the United States in violation of its constitutional law. If the Federal Government remains neutral and inactive and does not take any step in the premises to safeguard the life and rights of its citizens, has it not surrendered its Federal rights to States Rights? 8. When some Italians were lynched in the South years ago, did not the Italian Government demand reparation for the life of the ordered subjects? In the United States Gov't? Was it the state wherein the lynching occurred or the Federal Government paid the damage? How much was paid? 9. If the United States Government, in the instance of those Ital- ians being lynched, was held responsible, and could not dodge the responsibility under guise of States Rights or the illegal act of a state mob upon foreign subjects, how and why does the Federal Government oblige such lynching of its own citizen with absolute indifference and unconcern? 10. Is the function of the United States Government to protect its citizens only when they are abroad? If not, why is it neutral over the illegal killing of its citizens at home? Lynching is like the Kaiser's submarine attack on American government law and the rights of anyone. How long will the United States tolerate it? D. Newton E. Campbell, M. D.

BIG SHOOT AT GREEN- WOOD ELECTRIC PARK The Big Shoot and Dance at Greenwood Electric Park on last Thursday given by the Chauffures' Association was a great success. Many prominent people witnessed the event, in the afternoon. Owing to the condition of the sunny background there was many surprises and it was hard to pick a winner out of the many shooters until the last bird was shot. Dr. E. J. Wheatley after making a bad start in his first block of ten, shot exceptionally strong throughout the balance of the race. J. Hasty finally won out by the small margin of one bird over his nearest competitor, Sargt. W. Washington, with W. T. Turner a close third. Dr. R. G. Baker and Mr. H. N. Williams 'did not shoot in their usual form. We had with us Dr. F. J. Howard of New York, at 7.30 p. m. Mr. H. N. Williams introduced Dr. Howard to the audience, who after making a beautiful address presented the loving cup, donated by Mr. W. D. Rich to the winner. The evening was then very pleasantly spent with dancing by more than 500 people. Thanking them for their good attendance. Adv LAWSON DUFFIN MARRIES Mr. Lawson N.

Recognition of this truth has been slowly gaining ground everywhere, but progress toward the training of the children of all the people has not been in a straight line. The movement has sometimes been in a forward direction, sometimes zig-zag, and almost as frequently it has been backward. The story of popular education in Maryland is much the same as the story of popular education in other American commonwealths. Not long after the founding of the colony steps were taken under the direction of the Lord Bishop of London towards providing a simple scheme of public schools. Later the General Assembly inaugurated and supported systems of schools that were more or less free. But in all the earlier attempts at popular education the fostering hand of the established church was clearly seen. Many schemes were gone into in order to provide funds for the carrying on of the schools, not the least novel of which was the converting of the tax on the importation of, negro slaves to the cause of education. Thus we see that long before the children of the sun were permitted to enjoy the blessings of formal instruction they were, nevertheless, called upon to help to provide for the education of others. It must not be assumed, however, that no thought was being given to the moral and intellectual welfare of the colored people. The sixth society for the abolition of slavery was founded in Baltimore in 1789; it contained the names of many who were themselves and whose descendants were prominent in Maryland history. It not only advocated the liberation of the slave, but believed that he should be educated, and accepted as a fact the then startling statement that the colored man's capacity for mental training was equal to that of any other people. But it was not until the middle of the sixties of the nineteenth century that any serious attempt was made at educating the colored people of Maryland. Just as soon as the great struggle which divided the North and the South was concluded and the status of the former slave was changed to that of freeman, it became apparent to the thoughtful and liberal minded of both sections that some intellectual training was absolutely essential, not only for his own welfare, but for the safety of the State. In communities farther south the work of instructing colored people was carried on by benevolent organizations having their headquarters in the North, but in the case of Maryland the work was almost wholly accomplished by her own citizens, the foremost agency in this direction being the Baltimore Association for the Moral and Mental Improvement of Colored Persons. By 1866 they had organized 73 schools, of which 22 were in Baltimore City and 51 in 19 counties. In these schools were 7300 pupils, 2500 being in the city and 4800 in the counties. The average attendance was 5645, with a percentage of attendance of nearly 80. The schools were kept open 9 months in the year, which was much longer than now, except in Baltimore City and two counties. The maintenance of these schools cost $2,515.14, and the average salary paid was $364.46, a sum far in excess of the present average salary of colored teachers in the schools of the counties of Maryland. It is interesting to see where the large sum for the running of the schools came from. Citizens of Baltimore gave $7,179.47; the City Council appropriated $3,-964.35; associations in states $15,701.55; "Friends" in England and Ireland $3,848.58; colored people in the State $9,-$21.19, and a loan of $10,000 made up the balance. But in 1867 two agreeable surprises in contributions obtained. The City Council increased its appropriation to $20,000, while the colored people of the State increased the amount given by them to $23,371.14. Dr. L. Van Bokkelen, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in his report of December, FOUR-AFRO-AM 1866, makes the following statement and recommendation: "I believe it to be the duty and interest of the State to provide an education for all who live within her borders, and therefore recommend again that separate schools for colored children, to be under the control of the School Commissioners, be established in every district where 30 or more pupils will regularly attend." He says further: "The large amount contributed by the colored people towards the support of their schools is proof of their interest in the education of their children and is worthy of special commendation. It is the best guarantee that they will faithfully use whatever facilities may be given them for establishing a school system." The next year saw State provisions for colored schools, although they remained meagre for several years, as the following recommendation of the Association of School Commissioners at their annual meeting, November 29 to December 1, 1871, will show: "Some further provision for the gradual education of the colored children of the State. The law requires that all the taxes paid for school purposes by the colored people of any county shall be set aside for maintaining schools for colored children. But this amount is so small as to be practically worthless. The law also authorizes the several Boards of County School Commissioners to appropriate such additional sums as they may deem proper for this purpose. But the Boards have no surplus revenue. All their funds are needed for the support of white schools, consequently the 'additional appropriations' have been very small." Twenty-two counties existed at this time and the annual appropriation was $4,611.40 for 19 of them—Cecil, Howard and Montgomery making no appropriation. Queen Anne led with $715.00, while Calvert brought up the rear with $24.72. It will thus be seen that from the earliest operation of colored schools they have suffered from the discretionary powers of the county school boards. Herein lies one of the fundamental weaknesses of the school laws as it applies to them—whatever is mandatory for white children and white teachers is discretionary when applied to colored children and colored teachers. The Baltimore Sun, in an editorial of September 1, 1871, comes out strongly for the betterment of educational conditions as they affect the colored people; "We had supposed that the very necessity for the existence of State schools and for State legislation upon the subject of education arose from the obligation society is under to protect itself against those inevitable consequences and attendants of ignorance, pauperism and crime. From what quarter are these evils more to be apprehended than from the intellectual debasement and destination, if suffered to continue, of that large class of our population who, without property or means to educate themselves, dependents upon their own daily toil for their daily bread, and constituting no inconsiderable part of the productive labor of the State, have lately been admitted first to freedom, and still more recently to an equality of civil and political rights. How far society pretends to do its duty by this class let the state of things in many counties of the State answer. That there is a better appreciation than formerly we are glad to admit, but we hope to see our people even more thoroughly aroused on this subject, and our legislators, county commissioners and school boards manfully exerting themselves to do all that the State can possibly, rightfully and fairly be called upon to do in their behalf." How the several counties have administered the fields for colored schools and the methods employed in securing colored teachers will be shown in the second paper of this series.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER A SUNDAY THOUGHT FOR OUR READERS. Written for the Afro-American Ledger by Rev. W. M. Alexander, D. D. Pastor of the Sharon Baptist Church. "Drift Of Colored People From The House Of God", [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. REV. DR. L. L. THOMAS. No subject should concern us, colored people, more than the drift from the House of God which has been going on in recent years and which seems to increase in its current as the days come and go. The drift is local and nation-wide. At host, we cannot claim to have on the books of churches of all denominations in the United States, more than four millions of the twelve millions of our people in the United States, and quite one-third, if not more, of those we claim are more with the people outside of the churches than they are with the local churches, where they hold membership. Strange as it may seem, Baltimore is in a worse condition than the other cities in the United States. In the city and suburbs we have 100,000 colored people, and not more than one-third are on the church books of all deconominations in Baltimore, and a very large percentage of those who are members give no help to the churches. The Hebrew people of all past ages believed and taught God's dwelling place was in His house on earth, and that out of it He gave every needful blessing to the human race. Malachi 3: -81. The Psalmist David, Israel's king, taught his subjects the House of the Lord was the joy of the whole earth; that he was glad when they said unto him, come let us go into the House of the Lord. (Psalms 48.2; 100, 122.) The Christian church was born organically in a large upper room where Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples and substituted the new atonement once for all for the old covenant. (Mark 14: 14,15.) Peter and John pressed their way up into the temple at the hour of prayer, and taught the people by word and example for all ages to come, to gather into the House of God. (Acts 3: 1-8.) The church is the chief cornerstone of the United States government, the world's greatest and most prosperous nation. The pilgrim fathers who came faom Europe in search of religious liberty, laid the corner stone at Plymouth rock, when they landed in the Mayflower in which they made their voyage, safely across the ocean. They dedicated America to God by singing, reading the Bible and prayer of thanksgiving. From Plymouth Rock, the spirit of the Christian religion found its way to the homes of the people in local communities and nation-wide. As a result, churches were organized and church houses everywhere were erected into which Christians gathered and expressed their gratitude to God, the giver, as they said, of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Christian churches everywhere in the United States and branches which have grown out of them, and which contribute to the Christian and civil life of the people, make our United States government, with all of its ills, the world's most Christian and prosperous land. It is strange indeed that so many colored people in these latter days are in the strong drifting current from the House of God. The large population which has no church relation in Baltimore is alarming, and the special cause that gives fearful apprehension is that such a large percentage of the people who have their names on the church books are with the drifting multitude. What we need is a glad, church sentiment which will cause the people to say,"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the [Name] REV. JOHN A. HOLMES House of the Lord." The churches must be alert and do their part. The message from the pulpit must arouse the pew members and cause them to visit from house to house and invite the people to come with us and we will do them good. The lights in the church house must burn bright. Old antiquated gas jets must be replaced by electric lights and every up-to-date convenience must be applied in the churches so as to encourage the people to attend the House of God. It is also important that the members keep in social contact with the people whom they so much desire to gather into the church. In a word, the demand of today is that the Bible idea of the House of the Lord means the source of every blessing such as the people need for their spiritual, mental and physical benefits and the idea must in this day be magnified and taught until it shall be the dominant idea in the minds of the people. We must get the people back to the churches and to do so we must apply all the agencies we have. The public schools can help us, I think, more than they do by instruction in the day school class rooms and by example. The teachers mean much. They have the young people five days in the week and if they, the teachers, gather in mass in the churches on Sunday services and in the Sunday Schools with the beginning of the fall services of the churches they will give an objective lesson such as will help them in their work and give an assistance which the churches so much need. We have tried many methods to help ourselves to change our condition, most of which have failed. The church house in scripture and in general history of past ages has been the source of every needful blessing to the human race. It is the same to-day and if the people will fill it wherever it is located in all parts of our city, conditions which hold us down as a people and block our progress will be changed. Let us make the effort beginning with the first Sunday in September. Make the reunion real by filling every seat in all the churches and it will change 'the drift and gather many of the people who are drifting into death, into the house' of the Lord.

Few Days I am about to close my viist to this section of the country and I leave here improved in mind and boy, and will be ready to enter upon the work of the National Baptist Convention next week. When I wrote you last I was in Boston, putting on Boston airs, but I am away from there now. Perhaps, I was in Newport, and there I was the guest of Rev. J. L. Witten, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. Rev. Witten has been in the work for a long time, and we are all proud of him. D. B. Allen, who is the leading man in the restaurant business in the town is a member of my race. I admire him, for while he has the leading place he does not draw the color line. He feeds the leading white people in the town, and then the leader of his race find the place also, and they are not discriminated against, but sit anywhere they want in his place. Getting through with Newport, in company with Prof. N. W. Collier, president of the Florida Baptist College, Jacksonville, Fla., we left for Brockton, Mass., getting up in the morning at 5 o'clock. It is worth while to visit Brockton, to see and meet one of the men of this race doing something. It was Watt Terry. I know you have heard of him. It was at the session of the League held in Chicago, that he told how he got hold of a fortune. I shall never forget his story, and how brother Hutchins, asked a few things, and thought it was impossible for a man to have so much, and he living in Boston, and did not know anything about it. The case was referred to the executive committee, and it reported that the half had not been told. Brockton is a suburb to Boston that is worth while, because there are some wealthy people there, and while we have only one wealthy man, he is one all the way, and Mrs. Adis is following behind him. When we got to town, we went right to the office and found him surrounded with people. He was indeed a busy man, but had time to shake hands with us, and place us in the hands of a guide to show us the town. I would have you know that we were shown some fine real estate, in the business sections of the city, owned by Terry, and then we saw the building where he worked as janitor and now owns it. It was the first building he bought. His office was to be found a busy stenogopher, bookkeeper, clerk, and then he employs janitors, paperhangers, carpenters, and all other kinds of people necessary for his business. I saw a little Baptist church where he held membership, but did not get to see the pastor, but later we were escorted to his home where we were met by his pleasant and congenial wife. She is indeed a refined cultured woman, and makes welcome the friends of her husband. She is a native of Brockton, while her husband comes from Virginia. We were not there long before Mr. Terry accompanied by the banker from Florida, Charles H. Anderson, came in, and we all had dinner together and returned to the office. I had but little to say myself, but studied the busy man and his methods. He is busy, and knows how to meet a fellow with a smile and turn him off so nicely. I should say that the belongings of Mr. Terry would almost place him with the men of money in the millions. After spending the day in Boston, I went directly to the home of Dr. M. W. Thornton, pastor of Charles Street. A.M. E. Church. I enjoyed a fine dinner, and then we were invited into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Penn, in Maplewood to spend the evening. Prof. Collier was right on time to carry me over. He discovered that I was not well and looked after me nicely. Maplewood is one of the fine little towns around Boston. Mrs. Penn and her husband are among the leading citizens, and they own a beautiful home right in the heart of the town. I was invited to Providence by Editor F. R. Purnell, of the Advance, and I am glad that I accepted. It was under the Business League of that place and the people were out in large numbers. Editor Purnell is a man who has made his way to the heart of the people, and he has some high standing in the town. witnessed a big parade, and then started for the South. I say South, but I mean New York. In the city of New York, I met some friends from Alabama. Mrs. Susie Freeman, who used to teach when she was Miss Susie Gray, in Bessemer, Ala., and Mrs. Sadie Sattlewhite, a teacher from Birmingham. Both of them are married and doing well. I met Rev. J. W. Rankin, Prof. A. S. Jackson, and Prof. L. B. Kinchean. Prof. Jackson is one of the most noted educators in the country. Sometimes ago the general conference of the A. M. E. Church elected him to the position of Secretary of Education, and he has made the best the church ever had. From New York, I stopped over night in Philadelphia, with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Boggs. Last Saturday I reached Baltimore, and spent Sunday the guest of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Gaines. I stopped by the home of Mme. Loving. She is a busy woman. Her business is to cure the feet and manicure the hands, and fix up the hair. Sunday I preached to a large crowd at Waters Chapel. Had a nice time in Baltimore. When you read this letter I will be on my way to Chicago, as I expect to be there for Sunday, after speaking for Rev. R. C. Ransom Friday night. I have seen the Afro - American Ledger as I have never seen it before. It is furnishing employment to some school boys and girls and with one who has a little push he can earn enough out of the paper to keep in clothes and shoes while in school. While I was standing in the office Saturday, Beatrice Day came in and asked for 100 papers. I asked her what she was going to do with them and she informed me that she was going to sell them and had sold 200 already. I do not know how much she paid for them, but I am sure that she earned three or four dollars that week, and if she had been working for white folks all the week she would not have made any more, and this had taken only a few hours. I met Charles Carroll, and he had sold all of his 250 except two. What a splendid opportunity for our young people. I want to here congratulate Editor Murphy and ask himto let the good work go on. Before closing perhaps I will tell you how I spent Sunday. At 11 o'clock I spoke at Waters A. M. E. Church. A big crowd was out to hear me despite the rain. In the afternoon I spent a little time at the home of Mrs. Loving and then to the Y. M. C. A. On my way there I met Mr. Thaddeus Copeland, Superintendent of Bethel A. M. E. Sunday School one of the largest in the country. After speaking at Y. M. C. A. we went to Mr. Copeland's home. He has a fine home and a fine wife in it. She has a beautiful flower garden in her back yard. Many people shook my lily-black hands among them Mr. Harry S. Cummings, who crossed the street to speak to me. Called to see Mrs. Mary F. Handy, and Sunday night I spoke at Payne Mem. Church, Rev. J. G. Martin pastor. I want to say that Monday was spent in Washington, Tuesday in Chester, and Philadelphia, Wednesday in New York, Thursday in Baltimore, Friday in New York, and as you are reading this I am riding. Many thanks to Editor John H. Murphy for his kindness. J. O. MIDNIGHT Progress of Our Race In the South. The number of land owners among our people in the south is on the increase, notwithstanding hard times and the savage habit of lynching colored men and women charged with crime without a legal trial to prove their innocence or guilt. Recent statistics show that in at least 123 counties of ten southern states the colored people are not only in the majority, but in sixty-one of these counties the colored farm owners outnumber the white farm owners.

Here too the selectons of a quartet composed of Scouts Robert Grayer, Ernest Henson, Willie Boardly and Clarence Gross were highly appreciated. CENTENNIAL CAMP--Troop 4. Why of course Centennial Boys went camping. Middle River was very much alive with boys of Troop 4. There was real class this year. If you don't believe it ask the Harmon Brothers of the 1500 block of the avenue, Thursday and Sunday were visitors' day and,oh, the good times. Each morning after breakfast there was training camp where the boys strove hard to improve themselves in their scout work. There was a second class examination consisting of 100 questions held before the visitors last Thursday night. Those who passed the examination were: Thomas Henry Jones, Henry Benjamin Harmon, Lewis Edward Harmon, John Morris Ambrose, Edward Wesley Bishop, Elmer Rudolphus Vodery, Raymond Thomas Hays. At a recent business meeting at the residence of scout master, Charles A. Cary, the fire of enthusiasm was hot as basket ball was discussed. The boys highly praised the work of the official staff of last season and by vote decided to open this season's work with three teams under same management. The official staff stands thus: Heavyweight: Harry Wilson, manager; George Allen, captain. Middleweight: Wm. Kelly, manager; Samuel Giles, captain. Lightweight: Bernard Jennings, manager; Elmer Giles, captain. The following boys decided to enter this season's activities: Herbert Sturgis, Leonard Williams, Fred Keen, Louis Keen, Malster Gassoway, Elmer Giles, Charles Thompson, Raymond Brown, Ferdinand Addison, Sherwood Roberts, George Powell, Percy Adams, James Barnes, Bernard Dudley, Joseph Monroe, Daniel Nickens, Samuel Caster, John Pinkett, Clarence Hawkins. Salisbury, Md. Dear fellow Scouts: Twenty-four of our boys met recently in council. Much interest was taken in the Baltimore Scout items by our boys. We are glad to report that two more boys of the Blazing Arrow Patrol thru a successful examination are now rated as "Tenderfoots." We accept the invitation which was extended by the Scouts of Baltimore and will try and show our appreciation. Sincerely, Newton Parsons, reporter. Harry and Edward Burns are the names of two new members of Troop No. 2. Brown's Grove September 10. "Nuf, sed." Troop No. 7 has the honor of having four boys to distinguish themselves as energetic hikers. Scouts Rufus Gardainer, Wm. Gaines, Richard Coates and Carroll Watkins recently hiked to Washington, D. C., in seven hours, making but three long stops. After a most interesting sight-seeing stroll these young men returned over the same route, reaching Baltimore in seven and one half hours. They were showered with congratulations from their many friends. Samuel Micky, reporter. Ah!---ain't they nice? Who? the Scouts! the Scouts! the Scouts Where? The Grove! the grove!! the grove!!!

To discover an article that would actually straighten colored inks, without the use of Hot Inns or Heated Combs. KONGOLENE does it and more too. It makes Course, Harsh, Stubbora, Nappy-looking hair SOFT and SILKY. KONGOLENE is a preparation that makes the hair straighten, but does not make the hair look like it was straightened by the use of Hot Inns or Combs—just makes it look as though it is naturally so. Simply spread KONGOLENE on the butter, comb it for a few minutes. WASH IT OUT, and the hair is straight. It keeps it straight, not for a day or a week, but for two or three minutes. KONGOLENE is positively guaranteed to do what we say it will or your money is refunded. Eonized Ground Oil, a necessary adjunct to KONGOLENE gives that rare's wing effect. KONGOLENE $1.00. EONIZED GROUND OIL $25.00. Seal $25 for trial jus, one in, then write for Agency. KONGOLENE PRODUCTS CO. DEPT. 1115 WYLIE AVENUE, PITTANBURGH, PA. A PIPE TENT WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE The time when dreams come true is when you do not feel right or are sick and dream of health and take TU-RA-HE, the Great Indian Wigwam Pure Blood Medicine and Nerve Tonic, and get well and stay well. If you are only half living, if work is a drudgery, if life is unendurable, not joy; if you do not daily and constantly feel the exhilarating, delightful possession of heath, then you are not enjoying your rights; you need the best remedy, take TU-RA-HE, the Indian Wigwam Pure Herb Remedy and enjoy life to the fullest extent. We believe in the great helping power of TU-RA-HE, the old Indian Wigwam Remedies made from pure, harmless Herbs and Roots. TU-RA-HE is a great help in the treatment of many ailments too numerous to mention here. It is highly recommended and guaranteed to give satisfaction and is a blessing to suffering humanity. In many cases where the ordinary medicine fails the Indian Wigwam TU-RA-HE Herb Remedies are of great help. Come or write to THE INDIAN WIGWAM MED.
