THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY NEGRO PAPER IN MARYLAND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 25 BASS AND ASBURY GET APPOINTMENTS Solicitor Connellys Appointments Believed To Be The Beginning Of General Recog- Philadelphia, February 10.—City Solicitor John P. Connellly surprised the town last Saturday when he named Harry W. Bass and John C. Asbury as assistants in the Department of Law. He named a number of other assistants at the same time, one of whom was a Hebrew. The appointments are gratifying to a large element of the colored voters here, and it is believed that the race will fare well at the hands of Mayor Thomas Smith and other city officials. Mr. Bass was a member of the last Legislature, enjoying the distinction of being the first and only man of the race ever elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature. He received his academic education at Lincoln University, graduating in 1886. Among his classmates were City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Rev. Daniel G. Hill and Dr. W. T. Carr, Jr., all of Baltimore. His legal, education was received at Howard University, Washington. He was backed for the position in the Law Department by Charles Seger, Republican leader in the Seventh ward. HAS PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. HAS PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. Mr. Asbury is a native of Virginia and was a graduate from the law department of Howard University about 30 years ago. He served one term as Commonwealth Attorney for Norfolk county, Va. For a number of years he was editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, and was an unsuccessful candidate for grand master of Odd Fellows in 1910. He has been president of the Keystone Insurance Company for the past six years. He lives in Christian street in the Fortieth ward. He had the backing of William McCoach, leader of the ward.

Ministers' Meeting held at Sharp Street M. E. Church last Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Don S. Colt, chairman of the prayer meeting committee of the Sunday campaign, was present and refuted the statements in the newspapers that separate provisions had been made by the local committee for the accommodation for the colored people. He declared that the manager of Mr. Sunday's campaign had found from experience that the colored people did not attend the meetings in large numbers. In order to reach the largest number, he said, it was found expedient to go to them in their own churches. He said that not only would colored people be admitted to the big tabernacle, but that no segregation of any kind would take place. Dr. Colt also explained that it was the wish of Mr. Sunday to hold a number of large meetings in various sections of the city, under the direction of himself and his committee, and that they would welcome the cooperation of the colored churches throughout the city. Following the address of Dr. Colt, a committee of ministers was appointed to confer with the local committee in charge of the campaign. Dr. M. J. Naylor was selected as chairman of the committee. A CONTRAST A committee of the A. M. E. Preacher's Meeting, composed of Rev. A. G. Randall, pastor of Mt. Calvary Church, Towson, and Rev. S. M. Johnson, pastor of Trinity Church, waited on a committee composed of Dr. Colt, Mr. Eugene Levering and Mr. William Morris, general secretary of the white Y. M. C. A. to find out, if possible, why the colored people had not been called in to help in the campaign. The committee reported at the meeting of the ministers on Monday at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Several reasons were given as to why the colored people had not been invited, among them, that some of the colored persons, on account of their religious enthusiasm and fervor might in some way disturb the meeting, or perhaps step on some of the white hearers "corns" thus causing a rumpus. The committee also reported that they had been informed that in Rev. Mr. Sunday's Philadelphia campaign, colored ministers were not only among those who solicited the coming of the evangelist, but were prominent workers on the committee, took part in the religious services, and no disturbance of any kind was noted. Following the report of the committee, the ministers meeting voted to take no active part in the Sunday campaign. That the local leaders in the Sunday campaign are embarrassed because of their awkward position in fostering a Christian segregation was evidenced by the fact that one of the gentlemen upon whom the ministers waited, desired that his reasons for not asking the colored people, be not quoted. It is generally believed that while the local committee is not anxious that it be publicly known that colored people are being discriminated against, they would be mighty pleased when the "big show" comes off if the "colored brother" is conscious by his absence. LYNCH FIRST PATROL 16TH SUCCESSFUL LYNCHING IN ONE MONTH LYNCH GEORGIA Georgia:—"For goodness sake, Mr. Lynch; can't you see the same rope you lynched that man with is strangling me." Lynch—Aw gwan, who cares Entire City to Join in Ten Day Effort to Raise Ten Thousand Dollars for Provident Hospital. Starting February 28th, a citywide campaign to raise $10,000 for Provident Hospital will be inaugurated. Prominent men and women, representing every walk of life have manifested interest in the proposed plan and have consented either to act as captains of the various teams of service in the ranks. A huge dial eight feet in diameter will be strung across Druid Hill avenue at Biddle street, on which the public will be kept informed of the progress of those who will collect the money, and the School Board will be asked to name a day on which the 18,000 school children may gather small donations through a tag system. There will be fifteen committees and on each committee there will be ten workers. The following are the teams and their chairmen: Business men, Harry O. Wilson; Clergymen, Dr. Ernest Lyon; Waiters, Mr. William White; Doctors, Dr. Edward Fisher; Odd Fellows, Jesse L. Nicholas; Moses, Mr. Lewis H. Davenport; Nazarites, Murray Thompson; Elks, Mr. William Lewis; Pythians, Mr. George A. Watty; Masons, Dr. E. V. Stokes; Ladies, Mrs. Emma J. Truxon. The chairmen for the Good Hopes, Citizens and Fishermen committees have not as yet been selected. BUSINESS MEN TO HELP In speaking of the campaign, Mr. Hugh L. Burkett, chairman in chief said: "Of all the institutions in the city Provident Hospital is certainly the most deserving of help. The men who have consented to help us in this movement are determined that the shortage in the State funds will not have the effect of closing the doors of the hospital. They believe that when the people have had a clear idea of the needs of the hospital, they will rally to its aid in no uncertain way. No one is going to be overlooked in this effort. The hospital belongs to the colored people of Baltimore, and we are going to make our appeal directly to them. That the entire amount asked for will be subscribed, we have not the slightest doubt." DREW SMASHES ANOTHER RECORD Little Southern California Sprint er Again Shows His Heels to Loomis in 100 Yard New York,N.Y.,February 11. Before a crowd of four thousand people, Howard Drew again demonstrated that he is the most wonderful spinner of the age, when he broke the indoor track record for 100 yards, at the games of the New York A. C. Running one hundred yards in 10 seconds is a performance of note, whether run indoors or out of doors, but on a board floor with flat shoes, makes it little short of incredible. The finish of the race was exactly the same as it was in the recent games of the Millrose A. A. when Drew equalled the indoor record for 7 yards: Drew first,Roy Morse second, Joe Lomis,of Chicago and Frank Stephenson third and fourth respectively. Drew got away third on the start and about thirty yards from home was three yards behind Loomis, the long and lanky Chicago greyhound. Had the race been seventy yards Loomis would have won, but it was not, and so with a sprint that opened the eyes of every one of the 4000 onlookers, Drew let out a burst of speed that carried him over the line a winner, five yards ahead of Loomis. Had he run the whole distance with the same speed he ran the last thirty yards, Drew would doubtless completed the course in something like 6 or 7 seconds. As one paper commenting on the race said "It seems incredible that a man running without fear of life and not the slightest desire to catch a train can impel himself as such prodigious speed. Anybody who saw Drew run last night cannot doubt his supremacy among American sprinters. BAPTISTS TO GO TO TAITI New York, February 11.—Dr. Calvin S. Brown, of Winston, N. C., head of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, will sail for Haiti next week to look over the field with a view to the convention's extending its operation there. It was voted at the last session of the convention for Dr. Brown to visit the little republic. He will be accompanied by Rev. A. M. Moore, of Raleigh. MOTON LAUDS WASHINGTON Say's 'All Will Be Needed To Help Carry Out Work Start- ed At Tuskegee By Race's Formest Citizen New York, February 11 Major R. R. Moton, principals elect of Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker at th memorial exercises held in Carnegie Hall this evening in memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Major Moton told of the constructive work that had been accomplished by the late principal of Tuskegee, and said that the nation was "richer, happier and better because he had lived, labored and triumphantly died." He spoke in part, as follows: "It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the birthday of the great Emancipator, we should gather here reverently to pay our respects to the one who stands so preeminently as the most unique individual product of Emancipation, Booker T. Washington's life and work alone would have justified Abraham Lincoln's ideas and actions regarding Emancipation. CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM Few men in the world's history have been able to accomplish in so short a period for so large a mass of people what Dr. Washington was able to accomplish. He organized and enbheartened a race, giving them a new idea of education and of life. He taught the dignity, grandeur, beauty, and necessity of industry and morality a fundamental in the development of any people. He gave the Negro people a definite place in the thought and life of the times. He often said, "No man, either white or black, from North or South, shall drag me down so low as to make me hate him." This, was his life's motto, and yet, few men were more sensitive to unfairness or injustice. The effect of misunderstanding and prejudice is apt to appeal strongly to most people, especially to those who are most keenly stung; but with Dr. Washington, the underlying cause of prejudice and unfairness was of far more fundamental interest to him. He set himself with all energy and with all patience to dispel ignorance, poverty, inefficiency, and immorality wherever found. I hope no one will believe that I, for a moment, think that I can fill Dr. Washington's place. I am earnestly and humbly aware that this is well-nigh impossible. It will require the combined energy and efforts of all the Negroes in America and they will then need the cooperation and backing of the white people to carry on Dr. Washington's work, and I doubt even then whether it would be done, as he did it. I hope and I believe that because of the life that has so recently gone out from among us that we as a people will hence forward, as never before, unselfishly work together—not thinking, not feeling, and not acting always alike, but always in perfect harmony and mutual helpfulness for a great race, and for a great nation. "TUSKEGEE GRADUATES MAKE GOOD "Dr. Washington found a most trying, embarassing, discouraging race problem, and left us a clear, definite, hopeful, unselfish race program. Whether this program is being worked out through Edwards at Snow Hill; Cornelia Bowen at Mt. Meigs, "Alabama; Long at Christiansburg, Va.; Holtzclaw at Utica, Mississippi—whether through a Jeanes school or a Rosenwald school—whether a Baldwin Farm or through the Negro Organization Society, or whether it be PRICE THREE CENTS through the great National Negro Business League—whether through the lives and characters and earnest work of thousands of graduates and former students of Tuskegee Institute—it is the same vitalizing, courageous, unselfish spirit of Booker T. Washington, the same wise, unselfish program, working earnestly for the good of men and the glory of God. "I believe that you who are heirs of the opportunities of the culture and of the wealth of the ages; you who love humanity and justice; you who love our glorious country; I believe truly that you will see to it that the great institution through which he worked, and for which he died, will be maintained and operated to its fullest capacity, and with greatest possible efficiency that these black boys and girls, who are sometimes called the despised and rejected children may continue to have a chance—a chance to be trained—a chance to be educated—a chance to be efficient—a chance to be useful, to their race and to their country—a chance to be decent—a chance to serve." STARTS NEW ERA IN SOUTHERN POLITICS Memphis, Tenn., February 7. Over one thousand voters of this city met at Church's Auditorium on Tuesday of last week in response to a call of the Lincoln Republican Club. All shades of political opinion were present at the meeting and it was the concensus of opinion that a better era is in store for the colored citizens of the South in politics. The fact that a constitutional convention will be held in this tate has caused colored leaders to arouse their constituents, and it is not improbable that a colored man will be a member of the convention. These attending the meeting were urged to pay their poll tax and register so they would be in a position to assert their rights at any time. The meeting was the largest that has been held in the South since before the "grandfather" laws went into operation, and it was enthusiastically stated that the Democrats had "robbed them for the last time." Robert R. Church, Jr., one of the wealthiest colored men in the country, is president of the club. Associated with him are such men as Thomas Hayes, Dr. T. J. Sercy, Bert Roddy, Josiah Settle and a number of others. PAY TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN Washington, February 10.—Tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln was paid at a meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening, held in commemoration of the 107th anniversary of the birth of the martyred President, which occurs Saturday. The speakers were Prof. William Pickens, dean of Morgan College. Baltimore, Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri and Rev. Alonza T. Jones. TO HOLD BIG MASS MEETING Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.—Arrangements are being made here for one of the largest industrial mass meetings ever held in this city. The meeting is in the interest of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Rev. Dr. Richard D. Stinson, is the principal. Dr. Stinson is well and favorably known here, and has enlisted in his cause some of the very best white and colored people of the city and state. Among the speakers at the meeting in Taft Hall, Auditorium Armory, Sunday afternoon, will be: Bishop J. S. Flipper, of the A. M. E. Church; Pro. L. M. Landrum, superintendent of public schools of intalent; Hon. M. R. Wilkerson, former president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Rev. Dr. James W. Lee, of St. Louis, Mo.; Basketball, Track and Boxing The Armstrong basketball team of: Washington, recently: claiming title to the championship was de- feated by the Hiawatha Cardinals jn another of those now famous ‘practice games’’ last week, “Probably this will end the con- troversy, Maybe—and mabye not ’ el There was as much “‘noise’’ as there was anything else at the game between S..M. and.

When Rice arrived on the floor from Port Deposit, someone told him to. hurry up to which he re- plied “Aw don’t hurry me son.’’ A bystander remarked to the editor, ““§o much for being a ‘‘star.’” ‘The Vandais nave yet their first game to lose.

CAN BEAT ANY MAN ON EARTH The manager of Sam Wills, the New Orleans heavyweight, who re- cently gained the decision over Sam Langford ina 20 round setto, has wagered $20,000 that he (Sam) can lick any man on earth.

G.,, 20 to 12 ima practice game in the Armstrong Gym January 81, The game was similar to the one played several weeks ago, but as the full Cardinal Machine was present the Armstrong boys were entirely outclassed. Had the Car- dinals made half of the goals at which they shot they would have undoubtedly made 45 points. The Cardinals claim no victory, but want the public to fully understand that this is tne type of game upon Which Armstrong boasts thelr record, The practice games which they happen to win they broadly publish and the news of those which. they lose is carefully sub- dued. In Amstrong’s ideas as to what constitutes championship we applied in this case, the recognition which they at one time boasted of is hopelessly lost. ST, MARYS OVERCOMES HIGH SCHOOL 29-26 In one of the bitterest struggles _seen on the local floor High Schocl went down to defeat at the nands of the St. Mary’s speedboys at the -latter’s cage last Friday night in a game, whose result was in doubt all the way up to the blowing of the .timekeeper’s whistle. From the time the ball was first tossed up. at centre until the last half ex- pired the fight was ‘‘nip and tuck,’’ with the. High School continually on the backs of the Speedboys, and committing to numerous fouls in their anxiety to overcome the St. Maryites, The shining star of the game and the one to whom the High School rooters owe unending praise was Harris, who not only easily played the best all-round game of either side, but scored 24 of High School’s 26 points, a per- formance in itself one of the most remarkable ever’ witnessed on a jocal floor, Time and time again he eluded the St. Mary’s guards and often ‘carried. the ball single handed from mid-court zig-7ag_ up to’ the. basket and capped his play with: spectacular “ringer.” At foul shooting’ he’was just as much at-home, and caged 10 out of thir- teenattempts. ?~At' the énd of the’ first half the score stood 15-9, in favor of St. Mary’s. --Shortly after the open- ing of ‘the second half Rice, who: Up: to this time had been showing, poor form got away with several good. baskets, while Hammond also made a few. fouls.

M.A. A, In a fast and well played game the Young Men’s Athletic Associa- tion of Easton, Md., defeated the Training School basket ball team, Thyrsday of last week, 19-16. This is the first game of. the Training School this. year, and the boys showed that they have not been loafing ever since the season opened. The Young Men’s Athletic Association is a church organiza- tion and they give evidence of be- ing well trained and capable of put- ting up a good game against most any team. Walker put up a slash- ing fast game for the Eastonites, scoring 16 of their points while Webb and Brooks were the shining lights of the Training School. A crowd of about 300 rooter witness- ed the game. The Y. M. A. have challenged the Dunbar A. A. to a game and these two teams “will no doubt be matched to play in the very near future. sap Lineup: Y.

C.— The Hia- watha Cardinals of this city were defeated by the Alpha Physical Club of New York last Friday night at the G, A. R. Hall 29-13. For the first five minutes of play the game was closely contested by thereafter the result was never in doubt, The wonderful team work of Alpha’s two forwards, and. Gil- more their center, formerly of Howard University’s varsity team, were the spectacular features of the game, The Cardinals seemed un- able to start their great team work that helped’ them to beat the champ- ion Ineorporators. ‘The Cardinals began the game with their weaker combination, and when they found the game going against them they substituted’ Henderson and Lewis, who did not do much better. “Cracker'’ Holland was the only member of the Carinals who play- ed up -to his usual standard, and his lucky -basket was the only one scored’ by the Cardinals throughout the game. Wiggins, Alpha's for- ward showed wonderful ability in shooting fouls, scoring 13 out of 19 chances, and also played an all around good game. Gilmore play- ed in his old time form but only managed to secure one basket. Dash played a fairly good game getting away with ringers in the latter part of the game, from the side of the court. The lack of skill and team work, showed that the Cardinals had either been over- trdined or were overconfident, as they did not play any where near their usual standard. In the preliminary game the champion Armstrong team receiv- ed another blow to their champion- ship: aspirations when they were defeated by the Commercial College team. This leaves the Commercial team with a claim on the secondary championship.

Bound in beautiful broadcloth, ink and and gold sides and back, This book which will be ready for delivery December 22, 1915, has been proclaimed the biggest, sung most appeal- ing life story of a generation. A biographical tale which is destined to live in history and furnish an. inspiration for the ‘poys and youth of the country for generations to. come. It sums up the remarkable life history of Booker T. Washington, of whom Andrew Carnegie once said; History will sometime tell of two Washingtons—one white and the other black—both fathers of thegr peoples.” It pictur es the little log cabin, with its potato-hole in the floor which served asa storehouse for the meagre supply of food, and the poverty and misery of a home in which he began life, that was little more than such a home as might be provided for swine on the poorest farm in the land. It is a story of hardship, bitterness and struggle from which emanated an educated refined Negro who became the guest and associate of Presidents, Financiers, Educators and Philanthropists, admired by his own people and by world lead- ers everywhere. No home should be without this stors of a man whose life achievements and struggles are interwoven with the his- tory of the nation from the days of slavery. . Price of Book (retail) $1.00 1 Vrs.

BALTIMORE, FEB. 12, 1916 A Philadelphia editor finds out that it takes more brains to bathe a baby than it does to teach a class in Greek. The logic is either peculiar to the city of Brotherly Love, or there is another general conception of the mentality required to teach classes in languages. More Negroes are lynched than white, because mobs in general, and Georgia mobs in particular are not afraid of Negroes. They are afraid of whites, says the Columbia "State," because the friends of the intended victim may become lynchers. "The truth is that in four out of five lynchings sheer, contemptible, and degenerate cowardice is a factor." This admission of barbarism on the part of a South Carolina newspaper is the best evidence that civilizing influences are at work. Georgia is lynching champion of the world for the past year, and at the present rate, thirteen lynchings for January, is in a fair road to hold the belt for another year. THE SYMPOSIUM Coming as it did from clergymen of various denominations the symposium upon the subject: "After the war, what?" showed a thorny dispassionate but emphatic unanimity. The confaguration in Europe represents a religious failure. Of this there is no dissenting vote. But the failure is not in Christianity in itself as an ethical doctrine, as the religion of future, the rather, the failure of Christianity to fix its fundamental principle, brotherhood of man, as a universal truth in the hearts of the warring nations. Stated differently, it is the fault of the nations themselves that their application of the Christian religion has been national and not international. The lesson of UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD is the lesson of the European war. Once well learned on the continent, its influence will be felt in the smallest and weakest dependency of Europe in Africa, Asia and America. Not a degenerate Christianity is to be the outcome of the war then, but a finer, deeper, broader spirit in human relations. FREDERICK DOUGLASS TO GEORGIA Altho Frederick Douglass never had a birthday, we always supposed that he was born in February 1817. This month marks then the ninety-ninth anniversary of his birth. More than a little of Mr. Douglass' hatred in the South and unpopularity in the North in the period preceding the Civil War as the result of his fearless stand on the question of slavery. At Canadaquia, N. Y., August 4th, 1858, Mr. Douglass flayed the Abolitionists who professed to favor freedom; yet depreciated agitation. He likened them to people who wanted rain without thunder and lighten- ing, or crops without plowing up the ground. Negroes would never obtain liberty by holding the coates, while others did the fighting. The slaves themselves were urged to rise up and make moral or physical resistance to their tyrants. Until they did, they might expect to be held up in the North and flogged in the South. "Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they certainly pay for all that they get." These were the celebrated words of this New York speech that Mr. Douglass repeated again and again. "If we ever get free from the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs lie by our lives and the lives of others." It is not a wild venture to assert, that were Mr. Douglass alive today, this fourth of August speech would be taken out of its pigeon hole, dusted off, and delivered with all the force and eloquence that he commanded to the colored people of Georgia. INTERMARRIAGE The problem of the intermarriage of the two races in the United States is one that is usually settled in a way that leaves no doubt in the midst of many as to what they consider the divine law. In some sections of the country the question is not open to debate, and the law either expressly forbids it, or provides a heavy penalty when it is discovered. Just this week past a bride and groom, the latter with a "touch" of Negro blood, were summoned before a North Carolina court to give reason for their strange action in marrying each other. In other sections of the country where no legal obstructions are present, are consciousness steps in the way and ostracis: the couples that go beyond the line of race in mating. If such a crystallization of the thot on intermarriage into condemnatory law and public sentiment proves a violation of individual liberty, the cause is not hard to find. Ordinarily marriage is regarded as a union of equals, not in the sense that persons of equal wealth, strength and education naturally seek out each other, but that the sum total of the elements, material mental and physical in the one balance the sum total of these elements in the other. While this balance of totals does exist, the proportion of the contributing elements usually varies. The result is that one who possesses little of the world's goods wants to marry some one who has accumulated just a little more; the strong seeks the stronger, the wise, the wiser. He holds himself happiest married who has made the best match—this is, gained an advantage, which he hopes to enjoy and perpetuate in his family. As in the case of the individual, so in that of the race. The white race wishes to marry its members to the best advantage. On the whole they are mentally and materially better off than Negroes. In one thing alone is the colored man superior to the white, namely, physical capacity. The white race makes a deal of admiration of the fact that a colored man is the champion spinner, champion prize fighter, can fall thirty feet, landing on his head, as did John Gross in West Philadelphia recently, and get up very little the worse for wear. These are simply a few indications of superior physical equipment. But a superior physique is not sufficient to outweigh the superiority of wealth and intellect. White people find it more advantageous, at the present time, to gain greater wealth and knowledge by marriage than better health for their children. Educated or wealthy colored people are eagerly sought for as mates by the less educated and the less wealthy among the whites, and the examples of this kind of intermarriage, especially in the larger Northern cities is far too numerous to mention The example of South American Brazil, where intermarriage of blacks, reds and whites is the rule and not the exception, will not be so easily followed in the United States, because the Teutonic races never combine as readily with other peoples as other Latin races. The Teuton is susceptible to intermarriage provided an advantage of wealth or education is to be gained. The task of the Negro it would se-m then, is to make himself eligible for inter-racial matrimony, for therein lies the hope of greatest progress. PREPAREDNESS FOR CITIZENSHIP The Germans have advocated military preparedness since 1870 because they believed, as Bismark put it, their real fight for a national existence would come before the new empire had past its fifteenth birthday. The manner in which the war is being conducted is a full vindication of Bismark's program, but the by-product produce is of no little importance. Germany prepared for war during forty-five years and awoke to find herself not only able to cope with any part for the whole world, but educationally, industrially and morally superior to them by reason of this very fact of military preparation. President Wilson's move for preparedness in America has a different motive—training indirectly for industrial and civic improvement. The president's ideas include the establishment of industrial and vocational schools through the country, or Federal guidance and control of those already established, where youth may receive training first in the principles of science in business, and secondly in drill, use and care of arms, sanitation and organization. Such men would be efficiently trained for the ordinary pursuits of life, but adequately and usefully equipped in case of a national necessity. Booker Washington has seen to the beginnings of industrial training, and the President's plan to carry it out further and to add vocational and military training cannot but help meet the approval of every thinking citizen-Republican or Democrat. Nor could any time be more propitious for the popularizing of this class of schools. It is just possible that we can show Germany that we can strike preparedness by aiming at citizenship. The citizens make the best soldiers. There is a movement on foot in Washington, to raise a suitable monument over the grave of the late Mattie V. Bowen. As Miss Bowen was so well known in this city and rendered at various times efficient services to the women of this city, it would be well for the women of Baltimore to contribute something along this line. We are sure that if Mrs. Mary F. Handy and Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst would take up the matter, a substantial contribution would result. Baltimore owes this to Miss Bowen for the interest she took in the welfare of the women of this city, to which she came so very readily whenever called and the opportunity afforded itself. The Afro-American will be glad to aid any such undertaking. The Board of the Ninth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, closed its week of dedication services, last Sunday. If we mistake not the campaign for this institution took place sometime after the campaign in Baltimore. Not only have they finished their campaign but finished and dedicated their building. Why has not Baltimore also finished and dedicated its building? Simply because we have been asleep in this like we are in many other things. It is time we had waked up. LATE LITERARY NEWS If there were nothing else but the one article on "Education and Crime Among Negroes" in the current number of the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review, the Review would be well worth reading. Whether you are a subscriber or not you ought to get this number and carefully read this article by the Hon. Gilbert T. Stephanson, jurge of the Municipal Court, of Winston Salem, N. C. But there are also quite a number of readable articles as there always is, among which are "The Spiritual Message of Nature Study," by Miss Annie Williamson, of Wilberforce, formerly one of the teachers in the public schools of Baltimore, and the "Influence of Christianity on Civilization," by Rev. J. W. Jones, dean of theology, Lomax-Hannon College. Single copy 25 cents, Charlotte, N. C. SNOW HILL BRIEF'S Snow Hill, Md., February 10. Forty persons are reported as having been converted during the recent revival at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 18 of whom have joined the church, and eight restored. Rev. E. J Henry is the pastor.

OR MAN'S LAST AND GREATEST ORPOPTUNITY DEATH AND FUNERA D. Webb Johns. At the league meeting held at St. Matthew's M. E. Church on Sunday last, Mr. D. Webb Johns touched lightly on this subject, quoting from various scriptures using as a text Daniel 2-44. He told how God has through prophecy revealed to us last day conditions. God said that four, and only four universal kingdoms were to rule the world, and that the fifth would be the Kingdom of Christ our Redeemer, and those that kept His Word. Babylon, or Assyria the first, came to an end when Belshazzar, warned by the hand writing on the wall, died; Medo-Persia, when Alexander the son of Philip of Macedon ruled, and cried for more conquests; Greece, thrue the warring of the four leading generals of Alexander the Great; Cassander, Lysimacus, Ptolemy, and Selucus, and now the Roman Empire in the last stages of disintegration. The ten divisions, sometimes more or less (The United States being only a part of the Roman empire, for every school boy knows that the formation was, we might say, ecclesiastical) and today we have as one of the many signs of the times the great war that will bring on Armegeddon, and the coming of Jesus Christ to reward the faithful and to destroy the wicked. After the war, what? Listen to the Word of the Lord Daniel 2-44, "In the days of these Kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people" Man's greatest and last chance is to turn to righteousness and inquire of God, "To the Law and the Testimony," and when they shall say unto you seek those that have familiar spirits should not a people seek unto their God. Isaiah 8-20. AN INQUIRY At the funeral of Mr. W. A. Smith Wednesday, February 2nd, 1916 at St. John's A.M.E. Church, when Mr. Davenport opened the burial services of the Eureka Tab. No. 50 of Moses, he made a speech about Brother Smith's religious duties, saying that there were other obligations besides religious duties and that Brother Smith did not attend his meetings. There are no other obligations in this world greater than religious duties. I want to know from the Eureka Tab. No. 50 of Moses if they cautioned the gentleman to impress the public that they were simply turning out with my husband for respect and not as a financial member. My husband's dues were paid up to the day he died. Instead of the gentleman studying a speech to make about Brother Smith, he should have studied the Moses burial ceremony and not made so many blunders guessing at it and detaining the funeral. The next time the gentleman attends a funeral I hope he will bring intelligence with him instead of leaving it elsewhere. In my estimation he has very little intelligence MATTIE BROWN SMITH Advertisement. DEATH AND FUNERALS William Anthony Smith, husband of Mattie Brown-Smith, died Sunday, January 30th, at 5 P.

CARLISLE 23 As a part of the exercises of Indian Citizenship Day, which is celebrated each year by the Hampton Indians, in memory of Senator Dawes whose untiring efforts gave to the Indians the right of an American citizen, a great game of basket-ball was played and witnessed by about 1400 enthusiastic followers of the sport. No team ever received a heartiest welcome than did Carlisle. As they came on the floor they were greeted with songs and yells. The beautiful floor work of the Carlisle team time and again brought the great crowd to its feet, as did the wonderful passing and accurate shooting of Hampton, Carlisle started the scoring, but Hampton took the lead just before the end of the first half, which ended 14 to 12 in their favor. In the second half the great trio, Gayle, Gurnoe, and Edwards, by their superior playing, wrecked Carlisle's wonderful machine. The playing of Dorsey, Atkins and Miser, as guards for Hampton, spoiled many of Carlisle's beautiful plays. 'apt. White, White, Flood, and Crane did excellent work for Carlisle. Roughness entered into the game at times, but by the strict and impartial way in which Mr. H. B. Skinner officiated, this department was kept under control. At the end of the game Hampton was working in great form and only time prevented the score, which was 37 to 23, from being larger.
