THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BY BUSINESS MEN For Comptroller ROBERT F. DUER For Attorney-General ALBERT A. DOUS FOR GOVERNOR OVINGTON E. WELLER ELECTION, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND 1918 VOL. XXIV. NO. 10 G. O. P. SEES VICTORY AHEAD G. O. P. SEES VICTORY AHEAD Party Leaders Making Last Effort to Get Voters in Line-Soper and Broening Sure to be Among the Winners The campaign just closing has been one of hope and promise for the Republicans. The belief is general that Ovington E. Weller will be the next Governor of Maryland and that the State will start on a new era. Of course, Mr. Weller is not a Teddy Roosevelt when it comes to rousing the populace, but his record as chairman of the State Roads Commission and his acknowledged business ability have attracted hundreds of voters of independent leanings. The Smith machine, which is backing the candidacy of Emerson C. Harrington, has always been inimical to the rights of the colored people of this State. It was during Smith's term as Governor that the school year of colored schools in the counties was curtailed and trick ballotsused in counties with a large colored population. Disfranchisement was attempted by Smith's followersand his henchmen succeeded in putting upon the statute books a law which practically disfranchised every colored man in Annapolis during a municipal election. William L. Marbury, who is enthusiastically supporting the Harrington candidacy,says that the Republicans may not expect him to support them as long as colored men have the right to vote. In various parts of the State the Democrats have sought to influence the less intelligent whites by making appeals to race prejudice. This seems to be a direct rebuff to the efforts of the Plure-Partisan League and other agencies that have sought to get the colored vote divided among all parties. Robert F. Duer, Republican nominee for Comptroller, and Albert A. Doub, candidate for Attorney General, have waged a vigorous campaign. The death of John S. Ensor was a big blow to the Republicans of Baltimore county. He was counted upon as being able to check the influence of Congressman Talbott. Talbott has lots of colored followers and Ensor had a large following among all classes. Mr. Weller counted on his influence in keeping down the Democratic majority. N. O. R. Allen, who was a candidate for the Legislature, was chosen to take the place of Mr. Ensor as nominee for the State Senate. Henry Pielert succeeds Allen on the legislative ticket. ALL: HUSTLING The candidates for the Legislature and other offices have been waging a vigorous campaign. The opposition that was manifested in certain Republican circles against the reelection of Chief Judge Soper appears to have subsided, and, with the support of many Democrats, he seems assured of success. He is regarded as having made an able judge. Despite the vigorous campaign that William Curran is making for the State's Attorneyship, William F. Broening seems to be certain of reelection. All classes of people are flocking to his standard on account of his record in the office. He is regarded a being a man of humane tendencies, and while not shirking any duty as a prosecutor, has never been a persecutor. Curran's friends are circulating a petition signed by Democratic lawyers and singing his praises. Among the leading signers are Edgar Allan Poe, whose father drew the Poe disfranchising amendment; William Cabell Bruce, enemy of Negro suffrage; William L. Marbury, who would abrogate the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States Constitution; Eugene O'Dunne, who does not favor female suffrage because colored women would be allowed to vote; Congressman J. Charles Linthicum, who fathered the "Jim Crow" car law in Maryland; Randolph Barton, another advocate of disfranchisement, and Congressman Coady, enemy of race rights. The polls will open at 6 a. m. next Tuesday and remain open until 5 in the afternoon. In the counties they will be open from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. ANDERSON GETS BIG PLUM New York, October 28.—Charles W. Anderson, who retired from the position of collector of Internal Revenue for the Wall Street district last spring in order to make room for a Democrat, as supervising agent of the State Agricultural Department. The position, which pays $4,000 a year, is the first that the Whitman administration has given to a colored leader. MISS DELIA BUTLER A BRIDE The marriage of Dr. James H. Bynum, formerly of Montclair, and Miss Delia E. Butler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. I. Butler: of Baltimore, Md., was solemnized at the 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church Saturday, October 9, at noon. The wedding was a quite affair, there being present a few of the intimate friends of the bride and groom, among whom were: Mrs. Butler, of Baltimore, mother of the bride; Mrs. Mary Hughes, of Washington, D. C., sister of the bride, and Miss Lillian Butler, of Baltimore, the bride's niece; also Rev. Johns, of the M.E. Pharmacy, Newark, a friend of the family. The bride was formerly a teacher in the public schools of Princeton, N. J. Dr. Bynum is a partner of the firm of Bynum & Catlett, proprietors of the Howard Pharmacy, Montclair, and of the Central Pharmacy, Orange, N. J. Dr. and Mrs. Bynum will reside at 66 Oakwood place, Orange, N. J. BISHOP JOHNSON HOME Philadelphia, October 29.—Dr. J. Albert Johnson, Bishop of West Africa has arrived here. CURTIS GETS LIBERIAN POST CURTIS GETS LIBERIAN POST President Wilson Appoints New York Lawyer After Having Consultation With Bish- Washington, October 28.—James L. Curtis, an attorney of New York city, has been given a recess appointment by President Wilson as United States Minister to Liberia. He will succeed Dr. George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., who recently resigned. He is a brother of Dr. A. M. Curtis, of this city. Bishop Alexander Walters, head of the National Negro Democratic League, was offered the position, but declined on account of his duties as a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The Bishop however, strongly urged Curtis, who took a prominent part in the work that the National Negro Democratic League did in aiding the Democratic national ticket in 1912. Though Bishop Walters has constantly urged the claims of Negro Democrats since the inauguration of President Wilson this is the first of the men that he has recommended to be named by the President. Dr. Buckner's appointment was credited to Senator Kern, of Indiana. Before Buckner was named for the position, J. Frank Wheaton, law partner of Mr. Curtis, was strongly backed for the portfolio. Buckner and Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the local Municipal Court, are the only colored appointees named by President Wilson who have been confirmed by the Senate. Bishop Walters has insisted for some time that a colored man be named for the position of Recorder of Deeds here. The President is said to be willing to do this, but he is afraid to buck up against the opposition of Senators Vardaman, Hoke Smith and Ben Tillman. COLORED COUNCILMEN FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Anniversaries come and anniversaries go and the public many times overlook matters that may become history. Possibly few people recall that on next Tuesday will occur the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first time that a colored man was elected a member of the First Branch City Council. The colored voters of the old Eleventh ward brought out Harry S. Cummings, then a young lawyer of 24 years, and elected him on November 3, 1890. Harry has served in the city law-making body over half of the years that have since intervened, and only recently entered upon another four-year term. He has known nearly every prominent man in Maryland during the past quarter of a century and enjoys a wide acquaintance outside. Mr. Cummings is nearing 50 years of age now, but says that he wants to see fifty more. ALGIRE'S FRIENDS CONCEDE DEFEAT ALGIRE'S FRIENDS CONCEDE DEFEAT Admit Their Attempt to Force Him Upon Colored Voters of This City Has "How are you going to vote next Tuesday?" seems to be the general query nowadays. If a colored man is thus approached he usually answers: "I am for every Republican on the ticket except Algire. I just can't support him on account of that Guth case." Dr. Algire's stock is said to be rapidly dwindling and he will run far behind the rest of the Republican ticket. Men in all walks of life voice their opposition to him and declare that under no circumstances will they vote for him. "I am highly gratified at the fight that the Afro-American Ledger has made against Dr. Harry C. Algire, Republican candidate for Register of Wills," says a prominent fraternal man. "I well remember that he was coroner in the Guth murder case and that the jury impanelled by him brought in a verdict that aroused the indignation of the colored people of this city. I am not only opposed to him, but am going to vote for his opponent." "I am tired of having men forced on the Republican ticket against our will," says a Postoffice employee, "and am going to vote against Algire." "Well, you know I am in the government service and can't talk out for publication, but believe me what I will do to Algire when I get in that polling booth will be a caution," is another's stand. "I am going to do everything I can to help defeat Algire," says a Twenty-first ward man, "and you may rest assured that we will help to see that he stays way from the Courthouse job." "The Afro-American Ledger is making a splendid fight," says a prominent physician, "and even if Algire had not been coroner in the Guth case I would not have voted for him." THE HARDEST BLOW "I think the Afro-American Ledger struck Aligire the hardest blow yet" says an ardent supporter of the coroner in the Guth case. "You sent him up in a kite in the interview, loaded it down with 85 pounds of comment and then threw in an editorial. I do not see how he can recover from the blow. I regret your fight against him very much." Dr. F. N. Cardozo, former president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is working ardently against the candidacy of Pr. Algire. "I have been advising all of my friends to vote against this man. I well remember the Guth case. As soon as our Association heard of the death of George H. Murphy we employed counsel and sent the same to the inquest. W. Ashbie Hawkins remained throughout the inquest proceedings and he declares that the exoneration of Guth was a travesty of justice. We must not vote for Dr. Algire." W. Ashbie Hawkins, who was one of the attorneys for the National Association, was one of those who aroused the race about the "white washing of Guth, the slayer of his colored chauffeur. He says that he is opposed to the candidacy of Dr. Algire and advices the colored voters of this city to vote against the coroner. There are some colored men, mainly ministers, who have been going around picturing Dr. Algire is one of the best of men, above approach and deserving of support from the race. Rev. J. H. Bunday has come all the way from Cumberland to place a halo above the head of the coroner in the Guth case, and uses up space in a daily newspaper to tell why a Frostburg minister favored a Baltimore coroner. MEETS A TARTAR Dr. Algire sauntered into the drugstore of Stokes and Derry last Sunday afternoon. He was introduced by Dr. Stokes to the men present. One man who was reading what the Afro-American Ledger had to say last week regarding the coroner, looked up and asked: "Are you the man I have been reading about in this newspaper?" "I guess I am," said the doctor making for the door. "My! my!" said the colored man, but Coroner Algire was gone. W.M:M.S. WILL ASK FOR WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT Detroit, Mich., October 27.—The sixth quadrennial session of the Parent Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church came to an end after an eventful meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday night. Nearly 200 delegates were in attendance. The next session will be held in Jacksonville. A commission was appointed to memorialize the next General Conference of the denomination to establish a woman's department in the church. Mrs. P. C. Simmons, who succeeded the late Mrs. Laura Lemon Turner as president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, said that the convention of which she is the executive head, would cooperate in any such movement. The suggestion that the two societies federate met the general approval, but it was argued by some that they could operate as at present and pool their interests. Mrs. Belle Tanner Temple, of Pittsburgh, was chosen as editor of a newspaper that the women will likely publish. The following officers were elected for the ensuing four years: Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Baltimore, president; Mrs. Rosa Johnson, Cleveland, O., first vice president; Mrs. E. L. Stepteau, Washington, second vice president; Mr. Dovie Clark, Wilberforce, O., recording secretary; Mrs. Jennie E. Day, Virginia, assistant recording secretary; Mr. S. C. Beckett, Holmesburg, Pa., corresponding secretary; Mrs. Mary Henderson, assistant recording secretary, and Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, Baltimore, treasurer. SUFFRAGETTES TO MEET The movement for female suffrage is growing among the colored women of this city. The recently-organized Woman's Suffrage Club has added to its initial and is planning a rally, to be held at Y. W. C. A. next Tuesday night. A number of persons interested in the cause are on the program as speakers. Mrs. Howard E. Young is president. BUSINESS MEN TO WAGE CAMPAIGN The Colored Business Men's Exchange is waging energetic campaign to increase its membership to at least 200 by the end of the year. Every business man in the city is asked to join this organization and participate in its efforts to stimulate race enterprises. A big get-together banquet of business men is planned for January. William H. Dodd, is president of the organization. Rev. Jesse B. Colbert, of 1014 W. Chestnut street, Lousiville, Ky., is preparing a historic, illustrated and descriptive handbook for the delegates attending the next session of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, which will be held at Broadway A. M. E. Zion Church, Louisville. UNREST AT THE HAITIAN CAPITOL Port an Prince, October 22. Despite the fact that the news is bing spread broadcast in the United States that the Haitians have cheerfully acquiesced in the demands made by the American government there is considerable unrest here. Many Haitians say that the United States is trying to ram the treaty down the throats of their people and that they are expected to agree to every demand made by the American government. This feeling that the United States contemplates complete mastery of the situation here has been growing since Woodrow Wilson became President. His administration refused to send a colored minister to this country, thus breaking up the custom that has been generally adhered to since President sent Ebenezer D. Bassett here forty years ago. American capital is invested in the railroad being built here and other enterprises are being pushed with American money. The opening of the Panama Canal and the era of "dollar diplomacy" are helping to make the United States try to put the "screws" to Haiti, according to current belief. President Dartiguenave is regarded as echoing whatever demands the United States makes through Admiral Caperton. American authority is everywhere in evidence. It is said that should President Dartinguenave fail to get the treaty satisfied by the Haitian Congress that things will be fixed so that J. N. Leger, former Minister to the United States, will succeed him as chief executive. MINISTERS RESIGN The treaty has been ratified by the House of Deputies by vote of 76 to 6. Several provisions of the treaty were vigorously fought in the cabinet. M. Sannon, Minister of War, and M. Sarcaring, Minister of the Interior, resigned rather than see the treaty forced on their government. Most of the opposition was voiced against the following provisions: 1. That the President of the United States will name the Receiver General of Customs, who shall name his assistants with the aid and advice of Washington. 2. That all customs duties must be paid to the Receiver General. 3. That Haiti may not increase its debt or assume any financial obligation unless it is shown that the income is sufficient to pay interest and sinking fund charges. 4. That the public debt shall not be increased without the consent of the United States. 5. That the Haitian tariff laws shall not be modified without the consent of the United States. 6. That Haiti shall not undertake the development of any of its economic sources unless it is in the interest of the public health from the standpoint of the United States and if the President of the United States agrees to the same and to the appointment of the engineers therefor. The last provision is believed to be in the interest of white capitalists of America, who see millions in exploiting Haiti. Certain members of the Haitian Senate will make a vigorous fight against the ratification of the treaty and it is hoped that the Congress of the United States will see that no treaty is ratified that will enable that country to rule with an iron hand here for the next ten years. --- Y.

Mr. Cadman became so eloquent in his plan that Brooklynites should erect "a living monument to Mr. Beecher in the shape of support for Talladega college" it is said, that several persons went. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER JUDGE SOPER THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE Indorsement of the candidacy of the Honorable Morris A. Soper to succeed himself, as Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, by the colored members of the Baltimore Bar. To the colored voters of Baltimore City: Judge Morris A. Soper has been on the bench nearly two years, comparatively a short time, but during that period he has displayed, to an unusual degree, those very rare qualities that enter into the making of an acceptable judge. He is in the prime of life, with all of his physical and mental powers alert and active. He is temperamentally constituted for performance of the exacting and responsible duties of the position to which he has been nominated. The proper administration of the law "which hears before it condemns" requires full and particular inquiry. Reasonable opportunity to be heard, without irritability or rush on the part of the presiding judge, is the first step towards justice. Nature has endowed Judge Soper with splendid gifts of head and heart; training, education and association with mankind generally have expanded those powers and so nicely balanced them that it may be truly said, he embodies the judicial poise to a remarkable degree. The almost unanimous verdict of the entire bar is that his rulings have been uniformly impartial and fair and have exhibited a profound knowledge of the law. His deportment—his life measures up to the highest standard set for the individual citizen and his whole professional career reflects abundant credit upon the loftiest traditions of the bench and bar. He is, to our minds, the ideal agency, that the law contemplates, for the administration of justice. Connected however, with Judge Soper's candidacy is another matter of grave importance. Beginning far back with the 'new-judge-move-ment,' the colored voters of this city have taken an active and creditable part in every movement that has had for its object the divorcement of the judiciary from ordinary politics. They have rigorously adhered to the idea that, if good government is to be ever fully realized, it must come largely through an intelligent, incorruptible and fearless judiciary. Thus, some years ago, when former Chief Judge Harlan, of the Supreme Benah, was a candidate, on the Democratic ticket to succeed himself, the colored members of the bar did not hesitate to indorse his honorable record nor to submit favorably his candidacy to the colored voters of Baltimore City. It happens, in this instance, that Judge Soper is a Republican and a candidate on the Republican ticket. For these reasons, we cordially indorse the candidacy of Judge Soper for Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench to succeed himself and commend him to the favorable consideration of the colored voters of Baltimore City.

DOZIER THE DARWIN DOCTRINE. Bruce "Grit" Exceeds to Ideas Advanced by Noted Scientist. Vanced by Note Scientist. To admit the soundness of the doctrine of evolution, as taught by Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, is to question God, says John E. Bruce "Grit." It is a monstrous assumption, this doctrine of evolution, and it has not yet justified the hopes of its discoverers. If man, as is asserted, descended from the monkey, or the ape, or the baboon, then the twenty-sixth verse of the first chapter of Genesis is a pure fiction. Of course it is no such thing. No sane or reasonably intelligent man believes that Darwin and Spencer, who were both of them overeducated, believed it, and the former before his death, it is said, admitted that the doctrine of evolution is a failure. We who believe that God is greater than man know that the theory of evolution hasn't a leg to stand upon. It is a preposterous assumption, born of a superabundance of conceit, which has ever been a characteristic of the Caucasian race, which knows everything and knows nothing.

Philadelphia.—The cornerstone of the Ewen building, to be devoted to the work of foreign missions, was laid recently in this city in the presence of a multitude of spectators. The history of the foreign mission board as related by Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., LL. D., was a masterpiece of literary worth. With a marked degree of accuracy he traced the board from its incipiency and told in detail of its organization and the work of the denominational fathers that fostered it. By decades Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., told of the missionaries that have been sent out by the board to regions beyond and painted in glowing terus the sacrifices they have made to help bring lost men to Christ. He brought out the beauty of service and how worth while it is to make one's life subservient to the Master. The remaining numbers on the program were all gems, because of the beautiful sentiment and valuable lessons taught. No more representative body of men and women could have been brought together to perform a service for a race that means so much and that was so conscientiously performed than those that gathered at this cornerstone having. Most impressive of all were the remarks of the corresponding secretary, Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., who for twenty years has served the foreign mission board. Ripe with experience, filled with real for the work and loving his fellow unam, as his unselfish service evidences, it is no wonder that he seemed to put his soul into words and pour them out of the fullness of his heart into the listening ears of the waiting assembly with a force and persuasiveness that are always characteristic of him and that burn their way into the hearts of his hearers until the OUTAW ST. 309 In the Colonial Theatre Bringing Rooms and Grinding Plant Publicated From The Pieces REAMSHIP COMPANY RIVER LINE River Landings and Richmond except Sunday $4.50 round trip. $2.00 Second Class nining two berths, $1.00 Baltimore, Norfolk and Old Poin except Sunday $5.00 Round Trip. $2.00'second class "REAMOLINE" easily and permanently. turn smooth and thin: right, and one box is sufficient. a guaranteed. a mail in plain packages.

It was due to his untiring efforts that the Ewen building was made possible, and to him credit is due for the successful conduct of missions in the various stations where the board is at present operating. It was inspiring also to see the venerable Dr. Rowland of the American Baptist Publication society present. Several letters were read from boards and secretaries in the United States and Canada. Dr. A. R. Robinson, D. D., was at his best and presided with dignity on this occasion, which meant so much to the race and the Baptist denomination. He is one of the powers behind the throne. Silently and powerfully he works and prays for the success of the board. This occasion will not come again in the lives of many who were present, but it will go down in history as one of the brightest oases in the desert plain of Negro existence during the twentieth century. The mammoth mass meeting at night was held at Shiloh Baptist church. Moving pictures, good music by the N. B. C. chorus and inspiring speeches were the features of the program. During the entire day eighteen churches were represented and twenty pastors were present. The foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention is planning for the most extensive exhibit of Africa ever seen by our people during the week of the dedication of its new rooms. Sons of Virginia to Hold Reception. The Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn is preparing for its eighteenth annual reception to be held at Summer hall on Thursday evening, Nov. 18. The organization is steadily increasing in membership and is serving its members in a most helpful way. Dr. Chirence H. Richardson, a graduate of Harvard Medical school, and John A. Jacobs, one of Brooklyn's best known men, joined the society at its October meeting. Dr. Owen M. Waller, dean of the medical profession in Brooklyn among our people, is also a member of the society.

M. E. Zion church, in New York, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman Neighborhood club. Mrs. Marie Jackson-Stuart, president of the organization, called the meeting to order and afterward presented Mr. Fred R. Moore, who acted as master of ceremonies. After speaking of the object of the club, its past record and present plans, Mr. Moore presented as the first speaker the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem M. E. church. The club has formulated plans for placing a statue of the late Harriet Tubman in some public park or some public highway in Manhattan. To this end the Rev. Mr. Cullen pledged his support. Mrs. M. C. Lawton emphasized the importance of perpetuating the memories of men and women who have borne the racial burdens in the heat of the day. She said she was glad that Harriet Tubman did not live in this day, when qualifications for a life of service to the human family are pitched on such high and superficial planes as to have rendered her efforts useless; that she was glad that colored men and women are beginning to realize merit and worth; that, in order to determine who is who, one has to have a broad conception of man's makeup—see him from every angle. Circumstances, she said, social standing and ancestral fame all sink into insignificance when compared to a real life of service. John E. Bruce of Youkers, N. E., gave a most interesting history of Harriett Tubman, telling of her life's work, which resulted in rescuing over 3,000 slaves. J. Frank Wheaton delivered an eloquent address on the lives of the colored heroes and heroines and urged all present to contribute toward the erection of the proposed statue. In a short but pointed talk the Rev. Charles Martin, D. D., voiced the sentiments expressed by the previous speakers, and said that the name of Harriett Tubman would grace the pages of any history.

We hope it stays there. The "Crisis" for October is one of the best numbers we have read for sometime. It is so full of good things that we take this occasion of urging a general reading of this issue. Get it and read it, you will be profited by it. The same people in this country who condemned the book and the photo-play "The Nigger" because of its title chiefly, crowd the theatres in New York, Washington and elsewhere to see a colored show of some pretensions which labors under the title of DARKY-DOM. So far the sentiment against the name has not caused the management concern enough to change it. --- A 'team of colored professional baseball players, the Lincoln Giants, defeated the Philadelphia National League champions 1 to 0 in a close game in New York last Sunday. This is nothing unusual and the defeat, if not the white wash is likely to be applied when the two teams went again this Sunday. The unusual thing about it is that these colored players, who can defeat the best team in one of the professional leagues, are kept out of organized baseball because they are not Cuban or Indian or Creole but Negro. Sometime ago a number of cases were entered in the courts of this city against the segregation ordinance. We are wondering what has become of them. It will be remembered that at the time when these ordinances were passed that it was urged against them that they were illegal. The answer made to allegation was: What is the difference? It will be up to the colored people to fight them and they will not do anything about it except to talk a great deal. This seems to be about the case just now, at least. Will somebody please tell us what is going to be done about it? For saving a safe containing 50, 000 francs, ($10,000) funds belonging to the French government from falling into the hands of the Germans, "a thick-set, coal-black, middle aged infantryman" was the recipient of the five pointed star of the legion of honor. More than this his whole regiment stood drawn up before him while a representative of the government imprinted a kiss upon his cheek. It is remarkable that the first legion of honor should be conferred upon a black trooper not for personal valor, nor for heroism in saving the lives of his fellow soldiers, but for turning over to the treasury a poltry ten thousand dollars committed to his charge. The latest news from Porto Rico is that the American people have succeeded in carrying to that country its prejudice against colored people. Up until the Americans took over this tight little island the people, under Spanish rule, lived together without any thought of color at all, now all this is changed and even in the Y. M. C. A., no colored person is allowed to have the privileges formerly accorded them. This American prejudice is one of the most damable things in the world. Wherever the American goes, he spreads the poison of his prejudices and is never happier than when he can find opportunity for so doing. He is a peculiar creature to say the best of him. The A. M. E. Review for October calls upon the citizens of outraged Haiti to take down the rusty words of Toussaint L'Overture and drive the oppressing Americans as they once drove the oppressing French out of the country. It is all very well to go a thousand miles from home to offer a vice to a kindred people who up until now have taken care of their own interests in a way that is worthy of commendation, but Haiti could not help answering; "Why do you ten million American Negroes not see that we get a square deal from your country?" or "why do you people who are one-ninth of the United State's population not take down the old musket of John Brown and attempt to secure a square deal for yourselves in your own country?" "For the Negro, three words should be ever before him" said Dr DuBois in a recent utterance, "Efficiency, Honor, and Vision." In the work of the world the Negro is gradually obtaining the first, with time he is learning to act from a sense of honor and the finest of things rather than superficial public opinion; a vision of his past and of his glorious future, if he only will, this last he has continually lacked. To supply this DuBois concluded was the mission of the pageant, the "Star of Ethiopia." To recreate a past history that has not come down to us by word of mouth and to make this real and effective in the place of the slave stories of another generation is well worth the effort of the busiest leaders. For want of a vision the people are lost quite a often as for want of a leader. "PROVIDENT HOSPITAL GETS NEW LIFE" "When the Board of Directors of Provident Hospital were taking steps to close it for lack of support, a communication was received from Drs. Mensifee, Perry, Stafford, Benson, Stewart and W. P. Curtis, offering their services to assist in keeping it open and agreeing to become members of the Board. "The hospital is expecting great things from this rejuvenation and hopes that the public will give its hearty support towards its maintenance." News item from the St. Louis"Argus."—Not Provident Hospital, Baltimore, but Provident Hospital, St. Louis. Considering the condition of our own Provident however and that of the one in St. Louis, it would appear that Provident is an unlucky name. TUSKEGEE'S ANNUAL REPORT There is hardly a person in the United States, who has not some conception of the work of Tuskegee Institute and its Principal Booker T. Washington. Just how large it is and what definite good is being accomplished, only thru who know Tuskegee and have felt its influence can say. As an effort to bring to the average man an idea of the scope of the work actually done Principal Washington's Annual Report to the Board of Trustees, of which Hon. Litt Low of New York, is the president, is an illuminating document. Within its own thousands of acres, seventeen hundred boys and girls from thirty-two states, and nineteen foreign countries are at work under the supervision of one hundred and eighty-three instructors, eagerly and feverishly learning how to get control of hands and brains by doing practical work. In Tuskegee they learn how to do by doing, and a striking evidence of this is the principal's reference to the foundry and machine work, the electric wiring and the carpentry of the new Central Heating Plant which were done at Tuskegee by her teachers and students. Beyond her own campus, Alabama has felt Tuskegee influence in Farmer's Conferences and building of rural schools—the so-called Rosenwald schools—erected under Tuskegee supervision; neighboring states thru towns of the Principal, in which thousands of farmers learned lessons that they were unable to come to.Tuskegee and get; and finally the whole country thru the National Health Week Move- ment felt a touch of the Tuskegee Extension Department. Extension work is represented also in another way by the Baldwin Farm Colony, which owns eighteen hundred acres of land near Tuskegee, and gives a start to poor students, who wish to farm after graduation, by selling lots averaging forty acres, and allowing a term of years in which the land may be paid for. EBENEZER M. E. CHURCH NOW OUT OF The Ebenezer M. E. located at 4th and D streets east, under the leadership Christian warrior and Church re, W. H. Dean, is sett standard high. These peop made rapid strides during Reverend postmate while The need of a closer touch between teaching body and Trustees is one of the problems of all large institutions, where it is desirable that governing boards get first hand information from the teaching departments, and that instructors should feel an understanding sympathy in the executive body. Mr. Washington's suggestion that the heads of the various departments make report and recommendation direct to the Trustees is certainly a step forward in school management that will well bear further watching. It is easy to see from the above how difficult it is to form a definite conception of the work and mission of Tuskegee. It is recognizable as well, that the wide influence of Principal Washington keeps not only Tuskegee but the cause of Negro education before the country. Friends of Tuskegee genuinely regret that the efforts of Booker Washington are largely consumed in making his claims valid, in seeking out "new donors to take the places of old ones" and that his full time and energy are not given to that of industrial improvement problems and administration in the institution he has founded and made great. PREACHERS WITH ITCHING PALMS The attitude of the Afro-American Ledger towards the church and the ministry is too well known in this and other cities to be reiterated here. It is well known that at all times and in all places we have given our hearty support to whatever makes for the best interest of the race in religious matters as well as in secular matters. We shall always support every forward movement for the best interests of the race in church and elsewhere. But with all that we shall make it a plan that we will not support a set of political grafting preachers who profess to be leaders of the race and at the same time are worse than Judas Iscariot when any small sum of money is likely to come their way. A preacher stationed in Frostburg comes all the way to Baltimore to write a letter to the Baltimore American. Purporting to speak for the colored voters of this city, as a representative, he urges them to vote the whole Republican ticket, and makes an especial effort to give Coroner Algire a plentiful coat of white wash. Another preacher is out in a circular advocating the election of the same gentleman. These are our so-called religious leaders. It is no wonder that Rev. S.H. Norwood fe-ls called upon to say such bitter things against some of the members of the cloth in this city. We would that more of them would come out in the columns of this or some other paper and say the things that they know ought to be said. It is an outrage the way we are being sold out by members of our own race, and among them so-called ministers of the gospel. Vote Tuesday for a Republican administration, but leave Mr. Algire home. THE FORUM Your editorial on the conduct of Coroner Aliree in the Guth-Murphy killing has the right ring and every colored man in Baltimore owes it to himself to cut Coroner Aliree. The ballott is our best weapon of defense and protector against the encroachment and infringents of our rights and privileges. This election is the time and Baltimore the place for us to register our protest against such treatment as we have received at the hands of Mr. Aliree. When will the Negro develop a dependable leadership. These semi-political preachers are traitors to the race. They have sold us time and time again. I have asked them many of them "do you think we got a fair deal in the Murphy case?" Some of them frankly say "No." Others pledge and others say "Well since I am one of the speakers for them I can't talk"; and some of them while taking money for their work say they hope Algire will be defeated. Why Negroes will be deluded by these tricky preachers and false leaders is passing strange. The Ebenezer M. E. Church, located at 4th and D streets southeast, under the leadership of that Christian warrior and Church buildre, W. H. Dean, is setting the standard high. These people have made rapid strides during the Reverend's pastorate while in this city. They have liquidated all old debts, burned the mortages, remodeled painted and frescoed the church, and today it is the most beautiful church in the M. E. connection occupied by color communicants. Electric lighting installed. The Anniversary opened Sunday, October 17, with the anniversary sermon preached by that old hero of the cross, Dr. N. M. Carroll, of the Centennial M. E. Church, of Baltimore, who has been a gospel preacher for more than fifty years. The high water mark was reached last Wednesday, when Dr. C. Albert Tinley, of Philadelphia, Pa., delivered his famous sermon on Jesus and Him crucified. This pulpit orator fairly electrified the vast audience which packed Ebenezer from the pulpit to the gallery. He sways the audience as only Dr. Tindley can sway them. This theologian was at his best. His delivery was superb, his illustrations were dazzling, his descriptions were so vivid that you could almost behold the cross and the Hero of Calvary. Sunday the Woman's Home Missionary Society will celebrate their anniversary. 11 a. m., sermon by Rev. P. H. Greene, D. D. 7:30 Anniversary Sermon by pastor. Closing sermon Monday Rev. R. H. Bolden.

Two sad years with all its changes, Since death so strangely bade us next part Cannot take thee from my memory Or the image from my heart. DEATH OF MR.

R. Mrs. Hattie Woods, Pres. C. E. T. H. McGowan, Supt. Now On His Way to Nashville From Where He Will Go To Petersville, Va., To Attend Big Meeting. St. Louis, Mo.—Once more we are called upon to mourn the death of one of our thinkers. We were all pained just a few days ago to learn of the death of Mrs. Laura Lemon Turner, the widow of the late Henry McNeal Turner, who was senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. You note I am still in St. Louis, and will be getting away from here when this letter leaves me for Baltimore, for I am going to be in Nashville this week, and will be there when you are reading this letter, but if you want to reach me with a letter send it to Normal, Ala., for I am going to spend a few days there enroute to Petersburg, Va., to attend a big meeting there and I shall tell you about it. At its head is Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, and this goes on to tell you just what it will be. During the week I have been here attending the Missouri annual conference and the Baptist State Convention, both big concerns. Mrs. M. E. Goins, presided over the convention of women in Central Baptist Church. She is an excellent presiding officer. A long time ago she graduated from Lincoln Institute, in Jefferson City, Mo., and later accepted the hand of Rev. John Goins, a graduate from the Western College, Macon, Mo., and they have been making life happy for each other ever since. It was a source of delight to be there and to witness what was going on. Mrs. Goins made a strong appeal for the young people, especially for home training of the boys and girls as well as school training. Rev. S. A. Mosley, D. D., is pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church where the convention met. Dr. J. T. Caston, was president. One of the most prominent characters in the convention was Rev. E. M. Cohron, of St. Joseph, Mo., who is the state superintendent of Missions. Rev. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist convention spoke Sunday afternoon and evening. He came to visit the convention, and I tell you he made an address. He did not come to discuss the Chicago convention, but to talk to his people. His work was highly appreciated as well as his visit. He is a busy man these days and is stirring things up all over the country. Time will not permit me to say as much as I would like to say to you or about the affairs here. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks is pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, and was returned for another year. His work for the race and denomination has commended him to the country. Give me the world and I will tell you something about it. Perhaps this will help me to tell you about whether or not the next African M. E. Conference will elect Bishops and then to tell you who they will be and how much weight they will carry. Dr. Brooks is on the list, and so is Rev. J. C. Caldwell, and Rev. J. R. Ransom, D. D., of Kansas City, Kans. I would like to see Dr. Caldwell remain in the position where he is for four more years, and then let them put him to the front. I do not mean to dictate to him or any one else. He would make a fine bishop and there is no getting around this, but then the young people need him just a little while longer. I had the pleasure of spending a little time in East St. Louis, Ill., and visited there the high school, met the teachers, spoke to them, and spoke there on Sunday. F. A. Adams, is some kind of an officer. I do not remember just what they called him, but I think it was a true man officer. At any rate he looks after the children who do not attend school. He finds out the reason why, and then if there is no reason there is something, and something worth calling doing. He has a lovely home, and a wife in it. He is a busy man. Among the people I met in the city were Mrs. M. Morrow, and her guest, Miss Beatrice Dyson, Mrs. H. B. Parks, Mrs. W. Sampson Brooks, and it would just take me a whole day to tell you the others. I saw Rev. E. H. Borden, and he was jumping around like a glad dog around a meat house. Dr. Borden is one of our best trained men and has been called to a big church in Beaumont, Texas. He M. B. JUDGE MORRIS A. SOPER is now on his way there, and will be there in a few weeks now. He takes charge November 1. I wish him well. Dr. Borden will have to seek a companion as a part of his kingdom of heaven. I think I will be in position to let you know some few things later. Time will not permit now. Let me have a line from you some other time. I failed to tell you that the delegates elected to general conference were Revs. W. Sampson Brooks, J. D. Barksdale, A. A. Gilbert and J. F. Sage. They are in charge and will look after the interest of the Missouri conference in Philadelphia next May. Rev. W. H. Thomas was on hand and contributed a lecture to the ministers telling them how to preach. The conference refused to accept an adventist into their rank. Bishop Parks is not much of a believer in taking men from other church, for he declares "Methodist preachers for Methodist churches."

Melville Charlton, organist in a Brooklyn (N. Y.) synagogue, and at Union Theological Seminary, have been elected a member of the American Associate Guild of Organists. A STORY OF UPWARD CLIMB Salient Features in Busy and Successful Career of States Attorney W. F. Broening. To be born poor, for his father to die when a boy and to study law while working as a coppersmith are among the many experiences crowded into the busy 41 years that William F. Broening, the present State's Attorney, has lived. He is a native of South Baltimore, and his father, the late Jacob F. Broening, was a pioneer Republican in that section of the city. The elder Broening was a native of Germany and an insistent advocate of fair play for all classes. Mr. Broening's education in the public schools was cut short by the death of his father, and he learned the trade of a coppersmith. Desirous of studying law, he made application to the University of Maryland Law School to enroll as a student. To his dismay he was refused admission on account of not having sufficient education to meet the entrance requirements. This made him more determined than ever and after working at his trade during the day, he poured over books at night and in a few months C was able to pass a most creditable entrance examination. He stood eighth in a graduating class of about 40 which shows the caliber of the man when the fact is taken into consideration that a number of his classmates were graduates of such institutions as Hopkins University, St. John's College, the Baltimore City College and Dickinson College. He hung out his shingle as a lawyer and then began his struggle upward. Drifiting into politics, he was elected to the First Branch City Council from the present Twenty-second ward in 1897, serving through the mayoralty term of the late William T. Malster. He served as private secretary to the late Congressman Frank C. Wachter and thus became acquainted with prominent men all over the country. He was elected a member of the lower house of the Legislature in 1902, and while a member of that body took a prominent part in helping to defeat the first "Jimcrow" car bill in Maryland. After his legislative career he again resumed his duties as secretary to Congressman Wachter. Mr. Broening was nominated for State's Attorney on the Republican ticket four years ago and was the only city-wide candidate that was elected that year. He entered office with the public critically watching his every move. He gathered around him an able corps of assistants, and his administration is regarded by many thoughtful citizens as one of the best in years. While he has not shielded criminals, he has not failed to temper justice with mercy. This was evidenced several years ago when a tuberculosis sufferer was arraigned in the Criminal Court for the alleged stealing a piece of meat in one of the city markets. When the man was brought to the courtroom from the lockup below his little daughter who was sitting on the knees of her mother ran to her father and leaped in to his arms. The mother became hysterical and an affecting scene took place. Stepping to the bar, Mr. Broening said to the judge that he thought the ends of justice would not be served by making the prisoner suffer more humiliation and that he would immediately stet the case, which was done. A good collection was then taken up in the courtroom for this sufferer from tuberculosis. Mr. Broening's best friends do not claim that he is a William Pinkney Whyte as a lawyer, but they all say that he has administered the office from a common-sense stanpoint, always looking after the interests of the State and never oppressing a man because he was low and poor or because he was black. That he and his assistants are alert men is indicated by the successful manner in which they planned for the round-up of the so-called arson trust last week. FELIX B. PYE, Sr. 102 E.

Hill Street 826 Druid Hill Ave BASKETBALL ATHLETICS FOOTBALL BY SPORTSMAN The Champion Lincoln Giants defeated the Champion Philadelphia Nationals in New York last Sunday by the close score of 1-0. The two teams will play again this Sunday. The Champion Black Sox defeated the crack Chesterfields at Columbus Park last Sunday by the score of 13-7. Williams, third-baseman for the world champion Lincoln Giants who was in the box for the Sox was a little wild at first, but after the fourth inning settled down on the Chesterfields and held them to a few scattered bingles. The Sox will play the Lake's All Star's at Young Men's Oval, Eastern avenue and Eight street this Sunday. The local basketball season will be formally opened Thursday next when the Astoria's lineup against the St. Mary's boys at the latters cage. Several new men are expected to make their appearance in St. Mary's team, while the Astoria's team opens its first season in this branch of sport, and we have the promise of the peerless "Tom" Jones that they will not be far behind the leaders. The Dunbar team has added several new members to its team, which will greatly strengthen the line-up, and they may be expected to give a good account of themselves this year. They are out for the State championship. The Lincoln University basketball team has taken a might impetus under the leadership of E. A. James and already they have scheduled games with the strongest teams in the east. Aside from the old regulars, Young, Sumner, Barnum, Anderson and Young, Gross, of the Alpha Physical Club, Noite of Wilberforce, and Edwards of Michigan will be seen in the lineup this year. Games have been scheduled as follows: December 9, St. Peter Claver's at Philadelphia: 27, Independents at Orange, N. J.; 31, Alpine Field Club at Newark, N. J.; March 3, Crescent A. C. at Atlantic City, and the 4th, Vandals, of the same city. They have prospective games in the Howard, Hampton (2), Monticellos, St. Christopher, Wilmington, Elizabeth, N. J., and the incorporators. Football at Lincoln University is a thing of great uncertainty this year. Only two dates have been settled definitely November 25, playing the Delaney Rifles at Pittsburgh, and on the 27th Wilberforce, at Wilberforce. They will not hitch up with the Hampton boys this year, and it is hardly probable that they will even play Howard, whom it will be remembered they trounced so severely last year. It will also be recalled that Lincoln forfeited to Hampton last year on a play which would have meant a tounce down for Hampton had the Lincolnites allowed it. It may be that this had something to do with the failure to make dates this year. There is no dearth of material for an excellent team, however, and C. R. Sautter, the manager has engaged W. H. Bullock of Everette Mass., for coach, in place of Coach Pollar who died last spring. Every position has two or more aspirants. Capt. Barnum and the Young brothers have done much for the team before the advent of the new coach. Following are some of the players who may be seen in the line-up this year: Barum, Elison. Smith, Clinton, Baumgartner. Gross. Parks. Barber, Ridgely of Storer, Archer, Proctor. Smith, Stevens. Douglass. Burbon, Robinson, and the Young brothers. 426 North Gilmore street October 25, 1915 The Sporting Editor of the Afro-American Ledger: Dear Sir—Kindly accept my grateful appreciation and thanks for the generous spirit in which you were kind enough, in a recent issue, to report my success in the tennis tournament held a short while ago under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. Permit me, moreover, to express the hope, that the beneficient spirit in which you have always indorsed activities and achievements within the field of sport, may awaken a larger public of our race to the joys and gifts of a life spent out of doors. Yours in good faith, RAUPH W. RECKLING BASKETBALL FOOTBALL DON'T MENTION IT. UL' TOP Virginia Union achieved it's second victory of the season last Saturday at Lynchburg, when the eleven of Virginia Theological Seminary and College yielded to their superior opponents by the score of 27-0. The defeat was a complete surprise to the home team who for the past month had undergone rigorous training, especially with a Union annihilation in view. The two teams were equally matched in respect to weight, but Lynchburg's squad was inferior in training and team-work. They contested stubbornly through each stage of the contest, but steady gains were constantly netted by the visitors. Thompson made the first touchdown for Union in a line dash of 12 yards. Union's all-American hal-fback. Howell, followed next with the same tactics for the second score. In the third quarter, Bowie in full, skirted the Theologs' right end for twenty yards and the third touchdown. In the last few minutes of play, Hucules essayed a forward pass to Wright in mid-field, who, in a brilliant exhibition of broken field running, dashing three goals out of four attempts. Jordan and Gilmore, in quarter for Lynchburg in the first and second havles respectively, easily capture all honors for their teams. Today, Union expects to crush Howard on the latter's campus. The contest will be one of the stiffest of the season. Both teams are in prime condition and it is difficult to forecast the winner. The local football season was formally opened last Saturday when the Annapolis Stars lined up against Morgan College at Druid Hill Park. The game which was witnessed by several hundred enthusiastic local rooters, was hard fought from the shriek of the referee's whistle until the last minute of play. Many of those who thought they knew, said that the Annapolis boys would practically have a walkover, in the local team, but after the first half of the game with the score only 5-0 in favor of the visitors they changed their minds just a little. Following Annapolis' touchdown which was made thru straight line plunges and end runs Morgan received the ball on the kick off, but could not make and noticeable gains thru the visitor's line nor around her ends, and finally lost the ball on a fumble, on her thirty-yard line. By straight plunging, which tore great gaps in Morgans line, and short end runs the Annapolis boys managed to push the ball over for the first touchdown, but not, however, until a great argument had been settled in which the Morgan boys claimed that the rule calling the end of the play where the progress of the player tops, would have placed Annapolis' men two feet from their line, and thus prevented them from counting. The referee ruled otherwise however. Annapolis failed to kick goal. In the third quarter on the kick off of Annapolis the latter lost the ball on Morgan's twenty-ward line from where the college lads, pushed and shoved and ran around ends until they scored a touchdown, aided in the course thereof by a penalty on Annapolis of five vards. Johnson kicked goal. In the kick off to Annapolis in the last quarter Morgan downed the capital city boys on their 20-yard line, and held them repeatedly for downs, when the latter broke loose with the prettiest play of the game, a forward pass, which netted them about 30 yards, and put them on Morgan's five yard line. Here Morgan's defense held like a stone wall, and just before the whistle threw them back for about 15 yards, on a fake pass, and attempted forward pass. Annapolis' quarterback starred for his team, while Brown, Stewart, and Hall played a brilliant game for Morgan. Our correspondent, Mr. John R. Williams, now at Brown University. Massachusetts, writes that Frederick(Fritz) Polard of Chicago, Ill., and brother of the late Leslie Polard, of Dartmouth is a member of this year's football team at Brown, and is startling the New England football world, at this early season, with his spectacular playing Polard who weighs but 155 pounds, is playing in the back-field, and is an exceptionally fast man, giving exhibitions of broken field running that have not been seen here since the days of Earl Sprackling. Polard is a good runner as well as footballer, being at his best in the hurdles and quarter mile. MORGAN DEFEATED 11-7 THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER With the address of Miss Lucy Slowe advocating votes for women, at Union Baptist Church last week, and the activity of Mrs. Howard E. Young in organizing a Suffrage League the poor voter will soon have to take his wife or sweetheart along when he goes to vote. For now that colored women are aroused, Women's Suffrage is assured. After a while there will be no place on earth where mere man can say he is his own boss. When women get the suffrage, probably the next thing will be a law allowing them the privilege to enter the polling booth and supervise the marking of their husband's ballot. Poor man! I made a statement several weeks ago concerning certain charges against Rev. Douglass McDuffie, which appeared in a local magazine. I did not accuse the "great revivalist" of any wrong doing, but stated if the charges were not true, he should deny them in the public press. The thanks I received for trying to set the poor Reverend Brother straight before the people was a "bawling out" administered by a certain pastor, who said that all newspapers were liars, or words to that effect. Notwithstanding all of the Reverend's bunkum, it might be well to say that as far as I have been able to see the charges against Evangelist McDuffie have not refuted. It might also be well to state for the benefit of those who feel grieved because I have dared criticise one of the cloth, that ministers are public servants, and as such their acts are open to criticism. "It's all wrong, Theodore" to think that a man can engage in all kinds of transactions and then keep the light of public criticism from himself by hiding behind his calling as a minister. I am sure every good minister will welcome an effort on the part of anyone, even a newspaper man, to help rid, the tares from the wheat. It is to be hoped that Dr. Algire will learn on Tuesday that all colored people have not forgotten the Guth-Murphy case in which he so graciously acted the part of Coroner. He claims he is a victim of circumstances. This might be true, but they are the worse circumstances that could have happened to a candidate for office. "Algire" has explained and explained, but he has not yet explained to a large number of colored voters that he is the man who should receive their suffrages on next Tuesday. Here's hoping he may win an honorable mention among the "also rans." It sure is passing strange that among those who are helping to give Aligne a clean bill of health, can be found those who were chiefly responsible giving him his present unenviable popularity. They do say a lawyer has to argue to the side that retains his services. So with the politicians. When they are making their speeches remember they are being paid so much per "speak" and they are only reflecting the sentiment of those who furnish the "so much." They are really more to be pitied than censured. S. S. Booker is really some Secretary. He is putting the Y. M. C. A. on the map, and he is putting it there to stay. Last Saturday as head coach for Morgan College football team he was heard all over Druid Hill Park and on Sunday he was preaching "Personal Evangelism" at one of the churches. He is reaching every class of citizens, and if the money for a new Y. M. C. A. building is not raised in a short time, it will not be his fault. Hurrah for Booker! The concert of the Merry Cornet Band of Cambridge at the Armory Tuesday night was a success, due largely to the popularity of George A. Watty, the genial head of the Knights of Pythias of Maryland, who was in charge of the affair. George's fondness for music is second only to holding down his present position, and it is said that he will walk any distance to hear a band play. His expression as he looked into the bowels of the tuba horn, when the band was giving a serenade in front of the Afro-American office was one of perfect contentment.
