In appraising a cand An Appeal to the Colored Voters of Baltimore City Progressive and constructive statesmen, both in the State and Nation, are now devoting more attention than ever before to measures affecting the EDUCATION and HEALTH of the people. Proper education and good health are now rightfully regarded as among the Nation's chief assets. In appraising a candidate's availability for the United States Senate, from our viewpoint, it becomes of tremendous importance to know what is his attitude and his sympathies towards those great phases of State and National life and to discover whether he is equipped and qualified by training, experience and purpose to materially assist in obtaining the necessary legislation for the consummation of these important ends. Dr. France is an educator of wide experience and a physician of unusual prominence and ability. He has devoted many years to these professions. He has investigated the subjects of Education and Health as they affect the welfare of the State and Nation. He is a competent authority upon these vital questions as they affect the individual citizen. When it is remembered that the system of education, provided for the colored children in a large section of this State, is a mere travesty upon that idea, and when it is recalled that there is not a single institution, outside of Bay View Asylum, that will accept a colored tubercular patient, the candidacy of one who is so thoroughly conversant and so intensely interested in these important and vital matters appeals to us with peculiar and gripping force. There can be no genuine race or national progress without adequate educational opportunities and facilities; efficiency and happiness have their foundation in the health of the people. The conditions existing in Maryland, exist, only more intensely, in the States farther south. Soon, very soon, these matters will receive from the National Government the consideration which they justly merit and with the election of Dr. France, they will have an advocate who, by reason of his knowledge of them, and his splendid intellectual equipment, will be able to impress favorably the Congress of the United States and the Country. Dr. France is a firm believer in the principles of government as enunciated and formulated by the Republican Party. It was to assist in defeating the iniquitous "Poe Disfranchisement Amendment", in 1905, that induced Dr. France to lay aside his numerous professional activities and take the stump against this measure that sought to nullify the Constitution of his Country, and by the grossest political fraud, to enshackle the electorate of his State. As a State Senator, representing Cecil County, an intrenched Democratic stronghold, in the Legislature of 1906-08, his career was one of devoted, unselfish service to all of the people of his State, and while there he exhibited the highest evidences of constructive, progressive statesmanship, the keenest apprehension of the long-neglected needs of the people and the fullest sympathy with their proper aspirations and aims. In 1908, in the State Senate, he vigorously opposed the submission of the "Straus Disfranchising Amendment," and in a strong and masterly effort upon the floor of the Senate, placed himself on eternal record for the right of every man to vote and have that vote counted as cast. During that same session, Dr. France introduced a bill to improve the system of public education, as affecting the whole people of the State, but it was defeated by the Democrats. A crisis is now apparently at hand in our country. A divided Democratic national administration has brought about a really pathetic and dangerous situation. As usual, the national democracy has shown its utter incapacity to conduct our national affairs. A Republican president will undoubtedly be elected to succeed Mr. Wilson. The political complexion of the Sixty-fifth Congress will depend upon the success of Republican effort in those States in which elections will be held for United States Senators. Dr. France can be elected because he is absolutely without entangling fractional alliances, because he is acceptable generally to the Progressives and because the people of the State, irrespective of party affiliation, have faith in his integrity and capacity and believe that he will serve his State and his Country with honor, distinction and usefulness. For the reasons herein set forth, we tender our support to Dr. Joseph I. France for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate which is to be made at the primary election May 1, 1916 and recommend most favorably his candidacy to the Colored Voters of Baltimore City.

I. T. Gould. Mr. Alexander Williams, who is well known throughout Baltimore and the State, writes Chairman C. I. T. Gould of the Goldsborough Campaign Headquarters his reasons for supporting the Governors candidacy for the United States Senate and gives an interesting account of the Governor's activities in behalf of the race. This is a record which has never been equalled by any other governor in any State in the Union. Mr. Williams says: 1032 Druid Hill Avenue Baltimore, Md., March 8, 1916. Clarendon I. T. Gould, Esq., 104 St. Paul Street, Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir:— I see by the daily papers that you have accepted the Chairmanship of the Committee to have charge of former Governor Goldsborough's campaign of which he is a candidate for the United States Senate. Reports also say that former Governor Goldsborough possesses in a marked degree the qualifications and experience to acceptably fill the office of the United States Senator, with which statement I thoroughly agree and I am in full accord with his candidacy. I believe 80 per fent. of the members of my race will give him loyal support. It is fortunate that the Republican Party should have at this time such a man as a candidate that has ended his administration as Governor of this Commonwealth with so much credit to himself and his Party. I am compelled to remind you and others of the forceful manner in which he guarded the civic interest of my race while Governor. At the time a colored man at the Brooklyn Jail was lynched he spent the money out of the contingent fund to bring the wrongdoers of the law to justice. Is there any record in history of any Governor of any State having gone to such trouble to vindicate the majesty of the law under such circumstances when the victim was a colored man? If there is it is not known to us. At the National Governor's Convention at which Governor Blease made a speech to the Convention against bringing to justice white men who committed the crime of lynching and burning colored men at the stake and upheld the lynching law, Governor Goldsborough took the floor and defended the Negro's right, the law, and we have not heard anything more of Governor Blease along that subject. There are many other things that I could mention that he did to safeguard the civic rights of my race in the State while Governor. There is a question in the minds of some Republican voters who supported Mr. Roosevelt four (4) years ago that Mr. Goldsborough did not carry out his promises to the Republicans of this State. The facts were Mr. Goldsborough was instructed to vote for Mr. Roosevelt. He did. Some complain about him voting in the temporary organization. Now let us see about the temporary organization. On June 17th, 1912, in the City of Chicago, on the night prior to the opening of the Convention, the Roosevelt delegates met in the Florentine room of Congress Hotel, and decided to support Senator Borah for temporary chairman. Between that and the time of the convening of the convention the next day, they withdrew Mr. Borah's name and the delegates put Gov. McGovern as a candidate against Mr. Root, not as a test of the strength of Mr. Roosvelt, but simply to contest the election of Mr. Root a temporary chairman. Mr. Roosevelt knew his strength before the Convention convened. The National Committeeemen's action in reference to the delegates was a clear proof of how he stood? They had w-eded out so many delegates who were entitled to seats in the Convention. Our National Committeeman from this state, Hon. Wm. P. Jackson, was fair and voted on many contest delegations for the Roosevelt delegates in that committee. It is true Mr. Goldsborough voted for Mr. Root, but it is also true that Mr. Goldsborough voted for Mr. Roosevelt on the day of the nomination. I was then and am now a consistent loyal supporter of Mr. Roosevelt. At that time I was employed in the Custom Service here and under the Sergeant-at-arms of that Convention who was a loyal supporter of Mr. Taft. It was commonly said that men who supported Mr. Roosevelt, who were then employed there were marked to go in the event that Mr. Taft was nominated and elected. I do not know where that report originated, but it was frequently express-d. I remember one day stopping in the Roosevelt headquarters in the Equitable Building and I met one, John Teal, who said to me, "Why, what are you doing here, you working for the Government? You are working under Mr. Taft's administration. Are you for Roosevelt?" I said, "Yes." He said, "If your boss knew that you will be fired." I said to him, "The only boss I have is my God: If they want the position they can have it. I am for Roosevelt, first, last and all the time." Go straight to the point and do not be beating around the bush. Indeed the Republican Party of Maryland want at this Crisis a man to represent them in the Senate of the United States, a brave, fearless, red-blooded American who has the country's interests and its ho or at heart, and wholehearted soul American that will insist on justice for all the people and that man is Phillips Lee Goldsborouh h. We will be exceedingly gratified if the men of my race will give their loyal support to Ex-Governor Goldsborough at the coming Primary in his Candidacy for United States Senator in full as they did for Mr. Roosevelt four (4) years ago, one who was loyal and consistent for the civic rights of my race while Governor. Yours respectfully. ALEXANDER WILLIAMS Published by authority of C. Wilber Miller, Treasurer. WHITES DEFEAT MOVEMENT FOR RACE BISHOPS Philadelphia M. E. Conference Puts Down An Amendment Providing For Election Of Race Men To Bishopric RACE PREJUDICE ADMITTED White Parson Says Colored Man Does Not Exist Who Is Big And Broad Enough To Fill Such A Big Job Philadelphia, March 23.—Following, a lengthy debate, the Philadelphia Conference of the M. E. Church (white) voted down the amendment to the constitution of the church providing for the election of colored bishops. The vote, which was taken last Saturday, was on the amendment known as Bishops for Races and Languages, and was 157 against to 69 for. The suggestion among many white Methodists that the northern and southern wings of the church heal the breach made in 1844 over the slavery question by uniting, as well as the demand on the part of the colored membership of the M. E. Church for a bishop, caused the last General Conference of the M. E. Church to propose the legislation for Negro bishops. Nearly all of the conferences which have met this year have voted to ratify the amendment, and not one colored conference has voted against it. The Washington Conference which is now meeting in Richmond, Va., and the Delaware Conference, which meets here next week, are expected to vote for the amendment. The action taken by the Philadelphia Conference indicates that there may be formidable opposition to the election of a colored bishop, even though the amendment should be reported to the next M. E. General Conference as having been ratified. That it will become the organic law of the church is not so sure, as a few of the fall conferences of the whites failed to record the fact that they had voted for the amendment. Whether or not this was done by design is not known, but the omission to record means that they will be reported to the General Conference as not having taken action. Do we draw the color line? asked Rev. Dr. Frank P. Parkin in an address of opposition. Yes we do draw the color line, he declared. We want no Jim Crow bishop, a term that has frequently been used in such discussions as this in the last few years. RACE PREJUDICE ADMITTED I am a friend of the colored man he continued, but we cannot deny or conceal that racial prejudice exists. We know that there is no possibility of a colored man's being elected a bishop by our General Conference, nor of a colored bishop presiding over the deliberations of our own conference. I say, let's stop playing hypocrite, let's stop playing double, and tell our colored brethren the truth. If there comes a day when we can find a COLORED MAN BIG AND BROAD ENOUGH TO BECOME THE EQUAL OF A WHITE MAN, then let us have a colored bishop, but not until then. Dr. Parkin also said that the time must come when the colored churches must form an organization of their own. The proposed amendment was regarded by some, however, as a movement toward church democracy. Among those who favored it were Rev. George H. Bickley, Rev. David Lord and Rev. Cornelius Hudson. Rev. Mr. Bickley said: We are satisfied with white supervision, and we assume that the colored people are also satisfied with it. But just as we have racial ambitions and pride, so has the colored man. I am in favor of waiting until a MAN OF SUFFICIENT CALIBRE to lead his race is found and the making him a leader of his own kind. Dr. Lord declared that he would take pastoral appointment as willingly from a bishop with a black skin as from one with a white skin He said, however, that the colored bishop's qualifications would have to equal those of Bishop B-ry. I firmly believe, he concluded, that there are some colored men who rank higher in soul and spirit than some of the white brethren with whom we are only too well acquaint- LATEST IN SPORTS BY SPORTSMAN 25TH INFANTRY WINS BIG MEET Island Soldiers Demonstrate Superior Physical Prowess Over Their White Broth- Special to the Sporting Editor of the Afro-American. Honolulu, Hawaii—In the big military athletic meet recently held here participated in by four regiments of United States soldiers the famous Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored) carried off the major share of the honors with a grand tota of 70 points. The stellar performance of the day was made by Private Parker of the 25th Inf. who equaled the world's record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yard dash smashing the Island record, and equaling the mark set by Howard P. Drew. Gilbert's time was caught by six watches held by six athletic officers of the U. S. army, five of them registering exactly 9 3-5 seconds, the other being between 9 3-4. The Twenty-fifth infantry went mad with joy over Gilbert's performance. Gilbert is a perfect type of a sprinter, tall, wiry and not an extra ounce of flesh on his body. He refused to accept $4.00 as a first prize, not desiring to enter the ranks of professionalism. Parker and Mills also of the 25th, ran second and fourth respectively. In the half-mile run Harrison of the 25th, captured first place after a beautiful exhibition, maintaining a safe lead throughout the race. He broke the Island record for the distance making the course in two minutes, 7 3-5 seconds. Pride and Smith, also of the 25th ran second and third, respectively. In the centipede race the ten men of the 25th again demonstrated superior form, winning the century run without a misstep or movement out of the regular rythm of their gait. The 25th ball throwing team won this event by one second, surprising the 2nd Infantry who were favorites because of the latters better record in the preliminaries. First and second place in the 220-yard dash went to Ware and Mills of the 25th in 22 2-5 seconds. Scales of the 25th won first place in the wrestling match 135 pound class, while at 25th. Infantryman won the 25 mile marathon in two hours, and eighteen minutes receiving $32 in cash as first prize. In a fine exhibition of running the 25th Infantry relay team won the mile in 3 minutes 11 1-5 second amid the cheers of the great crowd of onlookers. They took the lead at the start and Gilbert, the now great sprinter, who ran the last lap, finished 28 yards ahead of the nearest man. In the big baseball game on the same afternoon the team of the 25th Infantry defeated the Olympics of San Francisco, one of the best ball teams in the United States, in a hair raising finish in the 9th inning. With the score 1-1, Othello Johnson of the 25th, banged out a home run to the right field fence, which was accredited the longest hit ever made on this field, here such celebrities as Honus Wagner, Cabby Savath, Jim Delahanty and Ty Cobb, have made terrific drives. It was voted the greatest battle ever fought on the Athletic field, being full of sensational plays. JAY SAYS BET ON MORAN A line just reached us from Jay Gould, the well-known race horse sport, who says he is laying heavy money on Moran in his coming fight with Willard. He declares that Moran will have an easy time winning. It may be a case of Jay being right for once in his life or wrong as usual, but we are rather inclined to lay with Jay. HIGH SCHOOL VS. ARMSTRONG The fast playing High School five will line up against the Armstrong Technical School tonight in Bethel Hall and a rattling good game is expected. This will be the second visit of this team to the city this season, they having lost on their previous trip here to the St. Marvs team. The High Shool boys wil try to reap swift retribution on the Washingtonians for their defeat at the hinds of their fellow-townsmen, Howard Academy, a few mooing. --- WASHINGTON Y M. C. A. DOWNS DUNBAR ,A A Shadowed By A "Jinx" And Dis playing Poor Form, Baltimoreans Bow To Senators If a "jinx" has anything to do with defeat it certainly demonstrated that fact last Saturday night, much to the disgust of the Dunbar A. A. team which met defeat at the hands of the Washington Y. M. C. A. After being fortunate enough to get a special car of the W. B. and A. for her trip into Washington, they found that they were carrying thirteen men in the party. No wrecks occurred on the road, however, and they reached the Y. M. C. A. building O. K. but here again old man jinx made himself apparent and they were all compelled to enter the building under a ladder stretched across the entrance, doubtless to dishearten the superstitious. At their supper, just before the game, the "green" waiter mistook the stewed corn for rice pudding and served it with the desert, burnt to the kernel. The referee's whistle sounded and the game was on. The teams played "even-Steven" for the first 15 minutes, till the drowsy eyes of referee Beckett, who had doubtless been out to an all-night "teaparty, began to close, and the men fouled each other right and left. The second half ended 8-6, with Y. M. C. A. on the long end. The second half found the Y. M. C. A. boys playing rings around the Dunbar, scoring and fouling with equal frequency. The Dunbar retaliated with tactics similar to the former, and referee Beckett's eyes flew wide open, and they were penalized accordingly. When the dust finally cleared away the Young Men had scored 16 points to the Old Men's 5 leaving the final score 24-11 in favor of the Young Men. Line-up Y. M. C. A.—Kennar, Kennard, Smith, Holmes, Brice. Dunbar—B. Webb, Howard, Ross, Wilson, Dorsey, Subs: Haywood, Christmas, W. Webb. Brooks. DREW AND MORSE BEATEN At the big A. A. U. games in New York last Saturday night, Joe Loomis the lanky Chicagoan got sweet revenge on Howard P. Drew the champion spinner of the world, and Roy F. Morse by defeating them both in the 70-yard dash. Loomis has been defeated decisively in his last two appearances against these colored boys, and his victory was a great surprise to the large crowd that witnessed the games. Y. M. C. A. GIRLS WIN The Y. W. C. A. girls of Washington administered a generous defeat to the to the girls who traveled from Wilmington, Delaware with the intention of lowering the colors of the famed group of the capitol city. The score was 27 to 17. Victory was due to the playing of the locals in the first half. 12 to 2 was the tally at the end of the first session, with Lily Skinker delivering the 'Big Bertha Shells' at random. In the second half the "75 Ms" of a General Turner of the Wilmington group had marked effect upon the morals of the adherents of the Y. W. C. A. contingent. This young lady proved a mighty accurate shot and in the second half she evened up the work of the Misses Ruth Gray and Miriam Wormley. Miss Richards of the visitors also starred.

BALTIMORE, MARCH 25, 1916 With Major Young, late recipient of the Spingarn Medal, chasing Villa in Mexico, first Lieutenant John E. Green of the Twenty fifth Infantry has been relieved from duty with his regiment at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, and ordered to report to the adjutant general of the army in Washington. Lieutenant green will be assigned to duty as military attache at the U. S. Legation in Monrovia, Liberia, taking the position left vacant by Major Young. Except for two details to Wilberforce University as Military Instructor, and to Washington as chairman of the board of judges at the annual competitive drills of the high school cadets, Lieutenant Green has served with the Twenty-fifth. Assignment to duty in Liberia brings opportunity for a larger service that could be rendered in Hawaii, as well as a broad opening for personal distinction. --- According to the "Pittsburg Courtier" efforts of the people of that city to get "Billy" Sunday to preach on Universal Brotherhood were unavailing. In the same manner the letter of the Hon. Archil ald Grimke of Washington, D. C., requesting the evangelist to speak on the race question, should he come to Washington, remains until now unanswered. In spite of these two examples, in spite of the reluctance of the Local Committee to admit colored people to the Sunday meetings, we wonder would it be two much to ask Mr. Sunday to say a word about the "Birth of a Nation". THE SILVER LINING The daily press of St. Louis gives an account of the activity of colored girls and women in the attempt to defeat the segregation measure recently passed there. Circulars were distributed with a cartoon showing a white man lashing the bare back of a colored man, and driving the colored man before him. Underneath was the inscription, "Back to slavery." In our last issue was noted the result of the vote. The St. Louis "Post Dispatch" does not believe that the ordinances will stand before the Supreme Court, and even if they should, will fail to solve the problems intended. These problems must be solved by a "sounder basis of justice and liberty" than segregation ordinances. For the dark cloud, the St. Louis "Republic" has this silver lining. "Segregation means the setting of the race by itself in the residence-districts of a great city. The most conspicuous achievements of the colored race in America during the past quarter-century have been achievements in which the white race has had no direct part. Tuskegee, where the Negro is educated by Negroes, has been the most success- ful Negro school. The contributions of Negroes to community-life which have most evoked commendation have been made in Negro communities, led and guided by Negroes. The Negro has blazed his own path in the arts, where the genius of DuBois and Coleridge-Taylor is universally recognized. "The Negro leaders tell us that segregation is injustice. Be this as it may, it is also opportunity, if recent Negro history has any value." The best thing that can be said for "the Republic's silver lining is that its soft words cover a selfish purpose. The people of Baltimore know, if no one else does, just what segregation means. They know how difficult it is in colored sections to get owners to repair property, how difficult to prevent the same owners from raising rent; how hard it is to have the streets paved and kept clean like other residential sections how indifferent the police to the maintenance of good order, and the police and liquor license boards to the location of saloons in the same square with the public school. These things we know, and the other thing, that not one of the men mentioned by the "Republic" is the product of a segregated community. To segregate one's self is one thing, and to be segregated by law is another, not even the "Repuilie" would deny that. "Granted that it is right to restrict a class of people to a section of a city, how long will it be before it will be just as right to require all of a certain class to live in a separate city, and then in a separate state. Ultimately all colorer people may be asked to take up their residence in Africa, and this in the name of "opportunity." WHY WE ARE FOR DR. FRANCE The contest for the Republican nomination for United States Senator has apparently narrowed down between former State Senator Joseph I. France and Ex-Governor Goldsborough. The exigencies of the national situation require, as a political duty, that we publicly declare our position in reference to the candidacies of these two gentlemen. It is relatively important to us as a race; it is indeed highly momentous to the nation, that the Sixty-Fifth Congress of the United States should be controlled by the Republican party. The election of a Republican President with his hands tied by a hostile Senate would scarcely improve the lamentable national situation as it exists today. In those States where United States Senators are to be chosen, the electorate are face to face with the duty of promoting the candidacies of those who are most available. Availability, in this instance, not only includes f mental calibre, integrity of character and high purpose, but the ability to win at the polls. Dr. France is in the prime of life—a splendid specimen of the physical and intellectual man. He is a gentleman of polished manners, is easy of approach and a profound student of public matters. His candidacy is impelled by the loftiest purposes; his heart is near to the people in matters vitally affecting their interests. He believes in the application of business methods to the affairs of the government, in the promotion of agricultural, industrial and commercial development, that business should be encouraged, not harrassed; that there should be such improvement in our system of public education to the end that every youth shall be fitted, in a practical way, to be a useful and contented citizen. He demands that adequate health measures shall be enacted into law to check the fearful ravages of preventable disease. He looks with favor upon industrial and health insurance and upon the extension of State and national employment bureaus. He advocates the development of a mercantile marine and he is in full accord with the national Republican doctrines that measures must be reenacted, to the end that the commercial life of these United States shall not be throttled by competition with the European nations. He hopes that our friendly relations with all nations may be preserved, but that measures should be taken to promote peace, national security and national honor. Dr. France's record in the Senate of Maryland and his speeches on the hustings place him squarely against all forms of political fraud and trickery. He bitterly assailed the disfranchisement measures proposed by the Democrats while he was a member of the Senate and unsparingly denounced them on the stump. He introduced measures in the Legislature to remedy the present inefficient and disgraceful system of public education but they were defeated by the opposition. He is absolutely unaligned with the factional elements of his own party, is indorsed by a large and responsible element of the Progressives and commands the respect and holds the confidence and esteem of a large number of Independent voters. This is the man, herein is briefly presented his record and attitudes and these are among the purpose of his candidacy. His platform presents, in many respects, a distinct departure from the old, non-progressive programs, is in line with the demands of the times and finds unquestioned public response. HE CAN BE ELECTED. Former Governor Goldsborough, on the other hand, presents his record as Governor of Maryland and asks for the suffrage of the voters upon that record. He has been in public life for two decades or more, frankly confesses that he likes it and wants to remain. That he has served his State, in many instances acceptably, we readily admit, but candor—duty—compels us to declare that the interest of the 45,000 registered colored voters who loyally supported his candidacy for Governor have received but scant, if any, recognition at his hands during the four long years of his incumbency. He has refused to recognize this vote by appointment to public office of any of its memkers unless we except one or two laborers' jobs in the Tobacco Warehouse. He has made no effort to remedy the miserable educational system existing in a large section of this State for the children of these voters—a system which provides scarcely any facilities, only an average school term of three months and poorly paid teachers. He has made no real effort to provide adequate means to protect the health of the people represented by these voters. There is no institution, outside of Bay View Asylum, within the confines of the State, that will accept a colored tubercular patient. Mr. Goldsborough knew this when he became Governor and he has known it all along. The specious plea of Democratic legislatures, etc., will not avail. When former Governor Hughes was thwarted by a Republican Legislature in New York State, he said—"I will appeal to the people"—and to the people he went and was sustained. It is not what the Ex-Governor feared; did he try? As it appears to us, his whole administration exhibited an utter lack of sympathy and touch with this important element of his party. The Afro-American therefore advises the colored voters of this city and state, in exercising their suffrage in the primaries on Monday May 1st, to support Dr Joseph Irwin France for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. HOUSE COMMITTEE OF ONE When a number of gentlemen including the Hon. Archibald Grimke, Kelly Miller, George Cook, ex-Assistant District Attorney Cobb and former Collector of the Port at Alexandria, Winfield McKinley, appeared before the House of Representatives' Committee of the District of Columbia early in last month to beg a hearing on the Non-Intermarriage and Jim Crow Street Car Bills, pending before the House, but one member of the twenty-one comprising the Committee was present, Representative George H. Tinkham of Massachusetts. The report of this "hearing", which appeared from the press of the Government printing office during the past week quotes Mr. Tinkham to the effect that the other members the absent, would have the minutes of the meeting before them. Later in the hearing it developed in a statement of the Representative that the Committee had already decided to report favorably the Non-Intermarriage Bill, but unfavorably the Jim Crow Bill. Except that the presence of Representative Tinkham at the "hearing" gave the report an official sanction and seal, the whole procedure was very much like speaking into a dictagraph and then having the record printed. It might not be a regrettable circumstance under some conditions that twenty out of the twenty-one members of a Congressional Committee absent themselves, but it does appear the high point of impatience and discourtesy even, when these members have made up their minds in advance, and then purposely remain away when the party most effected is to be heard. Under these most adverse conditions, which were surely enough to discourage the boldest and most hopeful, the argument of the group of colored men representing the colored people of the District blazed forth as clearly and sharply as if the whole twenty-one Representatives sat before them open to conviction. Especially is this true of Mr. Kelly Miller's stand on the Non-Intermarriage Bill to the effect, that if the Committee reported favorably and the Bill were passed by Congress, it would lay at the door of this Committee, that for the first time in the history of the republic Federal statutes made a legal distinction on account of color; or again that it would impose upon the Federal government the task of defining in exact legal terms, who is, and who is not a Negro, and turning to point at one of the members of his own group, continued, 'We have some learned anthropologists here, but I will defy any of them in the District of Columbia or in Massachusetts to tell me that proportion of Negro blood this gentleman near me possesses. It is possible for anyone to do so. Congress has not wisdom to do so and I say it in all respect to Congress, to construct a definition to determine who is a Negro and who is not. Neither has the Supreme Court of the United States.' The chief objection to the Bill prohibiting Intermarriage as expressed by Mr. Grimke and mentioned by every one of the following speakers was that such a law victimized the colored woman, in that it made it impossible for the white man to escape marrying the colored woman, whom he dishonors, and to avoid supporting his own children when they have a colored mother. As soon as intermarriage is illegal, the law will fail to recognize children as the offspring of mixed parents. Altho the Bill may be reported favorably by the House Committee there is every reason to feel that it will be killed on the House floor. The conviction is widespread that it is not inter-marriage in the District of Columbia that the Bill is expected to prevent, but by putting it thru the Senate and the House, place the seal of Federal approval upon Non-Intermarriage. Laws for those nineteen states, that have not yet inaugurated them. WILLIAMS SINGERS DRAW LARGE AUDIENCE AT BETHEL That the world famous Williams Singers have sung their way deep into the hearts of music lovers of this city was well attested by the crowd of over 1500 people that filled every part of big Bethel A. M. E. Church Thursday night. The concert was under the auspices of and for the benefit of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and was highly successful from every point of view. The Williams Singers are artists of a high order, every one a star, and render all kinds of musical selections from ragtime melody to grand opera. Such plantive Negro melodies as "Joshua at the Wall of Jericho" led by Mr. Williams, "Standing in the Need of Prayer", led by Miss Johnson, and "Hop Along Sinner," led by Mr. Crabbe, with chorus, struck a responsive chord in the breast of the audience, and were roundly applauded. The solo work of Mr. Crabbe in "Asleep in the Deep"; Mrs. Marie Peeke-Merrill in "Robert"; Mrs. Green in "Stacatto Polka," and J. H. Johnson in one of Coleridge Taylor's masterpieces, were the features of the evening. 50 Voices 50 Voices The Beautiful City by special request will be repeated Sunday, March 26th at 8 p. m. at Centennial M.

France and Former Governor Goldsborough is Spirited Contest for Senate Nominate The approaching presidential election and the great desire on the part of people all over the country to see a R-publican President, has caused Republican politicians in Maryland to look with watering mouths on the good things that may be in store. The party is in the throes of a state-wide fight as to who will be its nominee for the United States Senate. Dr. Joseph I. France, former State Senator from Cecil County has shied his castor in the ring and has received flattering assurances of support. Men all over the State, have rallied to his support. Such men as former Senator W. P. Jackson, former Senator George L. Wellington, Charles E. Heintzmen, W. T. McGuinn, O. E. Weller, Harry S. Cummings, Wm. F. Stone, Captain George W.Brown, Dr. W. M. Alexander and Dr. Ernest Lyon are among the enthusiastic supporters of Dr. France. Last week about two hundred of the most prominent men in the city were present at a conference at Nazarite Hall and Dr. France was given gratifying assurances of support. The meeting was called to order by Dr. W. M. Alexander. That all the factions working for Dr. France will be treated fairly is evidenced by the opening of headquarters in the Equitable Building, where the city leaders who have been at odds with the regular local organization will transact their affairs. Former Governor Goldsborough, the other candidate, has opened headquarters on Baltimore street and has received assurances of support from many quarters. Prominent among those who are furthering his candidacy are W. Bladen Lawdnes, Alexander William, John B. Hanna, Thomas Parran, Daniel Richardson, C. I. T. Gould, Jeremiah Stafford, C. Marcellus Dorsey, Robert Garrett, James McEvoy, Rev. James H. Roberson, Robert 'L, Stevens, George A. Watty and most of the Goldsborough appointees in the State. The former Governor made his first appearance before the colored voters of the city at Laurens Street Church on last Tuesday evening. He told of his activities in behalf of the race while Governor and asked for the united support of the race in his fight for the Senatorship.

Will the Editor of the "Aire-American" allow me a word further on the above topic? I said in my article that the Adventists were the followers of William Miller. But your correspondent positively denies the truthfulness of that statement. So I will produce the authority upon which I made the assertion, and I will allow your readers to judge of the truthfulness of my statement. It reads thus: "Adventists is the name of a modern sect of Millemarians who owe their origin to William Miller, after whom they are usually named. He fixed 1843 as the time our Lord was to appear, and as he and a follower called Himes had gathered a large number of followers, chiefly among the uneducated and ignorant classes, they were greatly excited as the time drew near, and several thousands of deluded men and women remained out at night expecting the descent of the Lord. Other predictions fixed other dates, but, of course, as these failed, numbers of 'the faithful' fell off. There is still an Adventist body who are thus waiting, but they are cautious now, having learned from the mistakes of Miller and Himes." (From The Encyclopaedia of Universal Knowledge page 60.) Knowledge, page 149. I also quote from Lippincott's Biographical Dictionary, page 1588, the following: "William Miller, founder of the sect of the Millerites, was born at Pittsfield, Mass., in 1781. About 1833 he began to prophecy the end of the world, which he affirmed would be destroyed in 1843. He died in 1849; and his followers, who are said to have numbered nearly fifty thousand, have since greatly decreased." Now it is logically evident, that when I said the Seventh Day Adventists were the followers of one certain false prophet named Miller, I did not mean that he still lived and walked about Baltimore, and that his disciples were following him personally about the streets of the city; but that they had imbibed Miller's doctrines, and were teaching the same to others. For it is in that sense that Christians are the followers of Christ, and they cannot be His followers in any other way. I wish to call attention to a statement like this, in the correspondent's article: "Miller wrongly understood, not the time, but the event associated with the time." But the time was just the thing he did wrongly understand, and therefore predicted that this world would be destroyed in the year 1843, and the event has not happened yet, and the Seventh Day Adventists are still believing and following the false teaching and prophecy of Miller. Now let us accept the statement he makes that some unknown and unnamed person, did, in 1905, offer five hundred dollars to anyone who would point to a known case that the early Adventists ever dressed in white ascension robes. How would that prove that the Seventh Day Adventists are now any less deceived than were their early founders? Your correspondent says they were two "rowdies" and not Millerites, who put on white robes and went up on the house top and mocked the believers who prayed inside. He says they were rowdies, but what proof does he give that they were not Adventists? None what ever. Again, your correspondent implies that I said Assyria succeeded Medo-Persia. I said nothing about Assyria succeeding "Medo-Persia," or any of the kingdoms succeeding each other—the word "succeeded" is found in my article. I did say that here; but the other part are the words of your correspondent, and not mine. Is this honest? He says further that "Nothing is said in the Bible about the Kingdom of God being erected after the fall of consolidated the ten divisions of Rome, or the ten divisions of the image." He is still leaving the public to believe that he is refuting statements that I made. I ask again, readers; is this honest? I said nothing about any ten divisions or toes. I spoke of the image, the whole image, which Daniel said was broken to pieces, "and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them." But your correspondent finds one of the toes over in France, which was formerly Gaul; and the Franks are offsprings of the Germans, and one of the German tribes. And I will ask him not simply make assertions, but link the toes historically on to any of those kingdoms that Daniel spoke of, whether Franks, or Anglo-Saxons. That the Franks were of German origin, I quote from Chambers' Encyclopaedia the following paragraph (Vol. 1, page 494): "Franks was the name assumed by a confederation of German tribes that appeared on the lower Rhine in the third century, and afterwards overthrew the Roman dominion in Gaul." Also this, from Putnam's Index to Universal History, page 882: "France was known to the Romans by the name of Gaul. In the decline of their power it was conquered by the Franks, a people of Germany, then inhabiting what is still called Franconia. These invaders gave the name to the kingdom; but the Gauls, being by far the most numerous, are the real ancestors of the modern French." I further state that the real historical origin of the Germans is unknown. Therefore they could not have constituted one of the kingdoms of Consolidated Rome; and so the Franks could not be one of the toes that Daniel saw, which your correspondent declares it to be. Another thing your correspondent seems not to know, or it has slipped his memory is, that it is "kingdoms" that are to be destroyed when Christ comes, according to Seventh Day Adventists, and that France is not a kingdom any longer, but a republic, and has a president and not a king. The words of Daniel are that "in the days of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom." I repeat that France has not a king, but a president, and that moves it entirely out of the category of the kingdoms they say are to be destroyed when Christ comes. Just here I would like to ask your correspondent, since he has only found two of the toes, the Franks and Anglo-Saxons, to point out to your readers the existence of the remaining eight; where they are located, and what kingdoms they constitute. But he will remember that Germany cannot be one of them, because it did not constitute a part of Consolidated Rome. Germany is not a kingdom, but an empire, and is ruled by an emperor, and not a king. It consists of "28 states, namely: Prussia, Heligoland, Bavaria, Saxony, Wartenburg, Baden, etc." I said in my article that Christ fulfilled and took away the Jewish law (Heb. 10: 9), but established a new one which is five-fold stronger than the old one. But your correspondent in answer, has tried to make it appear that I had declared that there is no law. Now in order that your readers may see how misleading are his statements, I insert the following paragraph from his letter: "The Adventist could never be made to believe that there was no law. Where there is no law there is no sin. If there is no law then to take your pocketbook would not be an offence. What man will agree to this? If the law is abolished why does our state hang men for killing? Why does the Lord in the very last book of the Bible say that all whore-mongers shall have their part in the lake of fire, if the law against adultery is void? Such doctrine nearly ruined France, for 1791-03 the Ten Commandments were abolished, a woman was worshipped as the Goddess of Reason, etc." For the old law, is found in the Sermon on the Mount, (Matt. V). I quote a few specimens and leave the reader to examine the whole: "We have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment . . . and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be danger of hell fire. We have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery; but I say unto you that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." I know of nothing in the decalogue to compare with that, for in the old law, the crime had to be actually committed, and witnesses to prove it. Jesus here says it can be committed with the eye. "Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth; but I say unto you. That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite the on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also;" and so on through the list. Now Mr. Editor, my motive in inserting these passages from the law of Christ, is to show that I have not left the people without a law, (and a strong one) as your correspondent has virtually said I did. I said the Seventh Day Adventists were keeping the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews rejected Christ, and continued to worship under the old law, thus avoiding the acknowledgment of Christ as the Messiah of the Jew. So the Seventh Day Adventists, having taken up the seventh day as a day of worship, simply join the Jews in rejecting Christ, and therefore cannot be the followers of Jesus Christ. It was true of Israel of old, that they could not serve God and Baal, and neither can the Seventh Day Adventists serve God and Moses, which they do when they worship under the old law, for it is called the law of Moses in more than one place in the Scripture; and it is also called the law of Moses and Israel, in Mal. 4: 4, which reads "Remember the law of Moses." It is so called in, Heb. 10: 28, and reads thus: "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses," and in Webster's Dictionary it is called the Mosaic law. Mr. Editor, will your correspondent require more proof that the law of the Old Testament is Jewish? Then again, he asserts with all the positiveness of one who is in possession of the facts necessary to know, that Miller was correct when he predicted the very date of Christ's second coming. He says that between 1833 and 1834 "William Miller had unravelled the prophecy of the 2,300 days." Now the fact is, that Miller did not unravel the prophecy of Daniel, but greatly tangleed it, for he made the prophet say that Christ would come again to destroy the world in 1843, and Miller has been dead since 1849, and Christ has not come yet; and still, your correspondent is trying to make the public believe that William Miller had explained what Daniel meant to teach in chapter 9: 25. Now Mr. Editor, I will relieve your columns of further burden on this subject, for I do not wish to continue a discussion with a person that will so frequently and grossly pervert my words, substituting his own for mine, which I have shown he has done over and over again, in his article. Thanking you in advance for your favor of allowing space for this reply, I am Yours respectfully, HARVEY JOHNSON. March 11, 1916.

THE SCHOOL GIRL AND BOY I know a young girl of fifteen who thinks everybody is imposing upon her and every hand against her and all because she is not allowed to go wherever and whenever she pleases, and considers herself a much abused young person. Yet she is an eighth grade pupil and in a few weeks time is due to take the examination for promotion to the high school. She said to me a few days ago, "I used to love you, but you are just like mother, you think a girl should not go on a slighting party or to dances and card parties and should always be stuck at home "and never have any pleasure." Now, I do not think anything of the kind, but I do think that all those things if allowed will cause the neglect of school work. I was a school girl myself one day and I guess I thought just such foolish things as this young girl thinks of now; but I had an "old-fashioned" mother and father—as they are called nowadays—(and I thank God that I had)—who knew enough to teach me that their way was best and there would be time enough for pleasure of that sort when my school days were past. It would be a blessing indeed, if there were more oldfashioned parents with old fashioned ideas, instead of so many new fashioned parents with new fashioned ideas, being tried out to the detriment of the children. Children from 15 to 19 nowadays are young ladies and gentlemen and regardless of studies are allowed in most instances not only to attend card and tango parties, but to give them. I wonder what the mothers of today can be thinking about. No girl or boy at 15 years of age is morally, mentally or physically fit to plunge into society) the whirlpool of life), and dance with strange men, drink wine and play cards and come out unscathed, to say nothing of trying to attend school and keep up with her classes at the same time. I think its a shame to allow girls to do as they please at this age. Isn't there time enough mothers for your girls and boys to go to parties and give card and tango parties and wear fine clothes and be society fools without you encouraging by dressing them like so many fashion plates and throwing them right out into the vortex of the life of all others that leads mostly to destruction, before they have sense enough to know what it means and where it leads toj Now mothers will you tell me what boy is going to keep his mind on his lesson with the music of the tango ringing in his ears or the thought of the card table in his mind, that is to be tonight or tomorrow night. What girl is going to care whether she passes an examination or not, when she begins to be a society belle. A few months ago I attended church services at a certain church and the minister asked the mothers and fathers present, "did they take time to find out where their children spent their time when not at home." He said, "Within a stone' throw from this church is a club room that is run by boys not one of them over 19 years of age. The past week they gave a party and at three o'clock in the morning I witnessed not less than 16 couples leaving the place, and the whole bunch disgustingly drunk." What kind of mother was it that was asleep in bed that time in the morning with her daughter or son out and not afraid to come home in such condition. They were all high school pupils with one or two exceptions. Not long ago on a Sunday at noon a fourteen year old boy walked into a drug store and threw down two handfuls of small change and asked for paper money for the change which amounted to four dollars, and said "I won that money and the boys are mad at me, because I wouldn't stay and let them win it back." That boy came from a respectable family and had been sent to Sunday School and instead of going there went off with a crowd of boys and spent the entire morning in a graveyard gambling. His mother and father sat at home a self-satisfied couple, that never thought of such a thing as seeing to it that the boy was really at Sunday School. Mother, where does your boy get his money from to pay his club dues, hire taxi-cabs and send girls flowers and candy? Do you give it to him? If so why? Are you anxious to make a society fop out of him whose head will be as empty as an old tin can with a hole in it. Don't you think it is time enough for your girl to enter the whirl of society with its shams, its envy and heart-aches without you pushing her head-long into it, before she has brains or courage enough to sort the chaff from the wheat. What were you doing at that age? Were you allowed to wear fine dresses, big hats with waving plumes, french heel shoes, with light colored spats and strut like a peacock with his tail all spread, up and down some big avenue? Was father allowed to dress in a full dress suit, seven dollar pumps, white kid gloves and a high top hat—looking like a mannikin in a haberdasher shop—to take some girl to a dance? When your girl or boy is allowed to visit places of amusement, do you know the character of the place they are visiting? Have you taken times or the trouble to find out? Do you go to bed and allow Bill Smith or John Jackson to take your daughter out for an evening's pleasure and not know the time of morning or night she gets home or the condition she comes home in? Do you know who Bill Smith or John Jackson is, or where he lives, or what sort of parents he has or had, what kind of bringing up he had? What kind of little silly girl is your son calling on or taking to parties? Who is her mother and how do you know she is the proper girl for your son to be trapping around with? Take less care of that piece of bric-a-brac and more of your boy or girl. TAKE TIME and find out what they are doing. Neglect that whist or bridge party, but do not neglect them unless you want to see your son occupying a felon's cell or your girl an old woman before she is a young one, with a heart full of sorrow. RECIPES Baked Macaroni and Cheese. Contributed by Mrs. H. T. M. Break a cupful of macaroni and pour boiling water over it. Cook until tender. Drain it in a colander and pour cold water over it, to blanch, for ten minutes and drain again. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of macaroni, sprinkle some flour with small pieces of butter and layer of cheese and repeat until all is used having top layer of cheese or stale bread crumbs with bits of butter. Then pour over it a sauce thickened slightly made of milk and flour. It is delicious, as the editor can testify.
