The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 35 W. S. BRAITHWAITE LITERARY CRITIC Famous Poet And Author Comes South To Deliver Series Of Lectures. Speaks at Grace Presbyterian Church Those who attended the lecture on "Shakespeare" by William Stanley Braithwaite at Grace Presbyterian Church on Friday of last week had the one opportunity of hearing the man, whom the New York Times terms if not exactly the father of the revived interest in American poetry, certainly the godfather. Mr. Braithwaite delivered a series of lectures in Washington to the public school teachers of the District of Columbia under the auspices of the public schools. To be sure he is not the authority on the Board of Avon that he is on contemporary American poetry, and for this reason while Baltimoreans were happy to listen to his treatment of Shakespearean plays and characters, they would much have preferred to hear his personal message on American writers and their works. A part of this personal message was given to a smaller audience at Howard University Saturday night. Mr. Braithwaite spoke of his efforts to get a hearing in the poetry sections of magazines like the Outlook and Harper's and how his poems were usually returned with a printed letter of regret. Repeated failure did not bring hopeless disappointment, but a resolve to bring about a standard of criticism among our magazines, which would enable them to say to the striving poets whose works were returned, VOTE Hon. Phillips Lee Republican Candidate PRIMARY MA M.

Today every one of the larger magazines employs a special critic of verse, and the day of returning manuscripts with a printed circular is over. Mr. Braithwaite has done more in the science of poetry than he could have done in the art of poetry. It has meant sacrifice to be sure to turn from poetry to criticism, but if the nations appreciation counts for anything, Mr. Baithwaite should not feel that he has labored in vain. BENJAMIN BANNEKER WAS A PEACE ADVOCATE Washington, April 20.—When the Columbia Historical Association met in the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, last Thursday, a paper by the president, Allen C. Clark, shed new light on the character of Benjamin Banneker. Banneker has been famed as a mathematician and an astronomer, but according to President Clark, this friend of Washington and Jefferson, offered in his almanac for 1793 "A Plan of Peace Office for the United States," for promoting and securing perpetual peace. "This article was concise and well written, and contains most of the ideas set forth today by advocates of peace. Banneker took a 'crack' at European military ideas, and advocated the abolishment in the United States of military dress and titles and militia laws. He laid down laws for the construction of a good temple of peace, in which hymns were to be sung each day." Added to the name of mathematician, astronomer, and compiler of almanacs comes now this final copstone of peace advocate for Maryland's great son. E FOR ee Goldsborough ate for U. S.

But Few Changes Made Washington, D. C., April 17. The Ninety-ninth Annual session of the Baltimore Annual Conference, which opened here last Wednesday in the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church closed its sessions here last night with the reading of the appointments for the ensuing year by Bishop Levi J. Coppin, presiding Bishop of the Second Episcopal District. The reports of the presiding elders and the pastors showed the work to be generally, in an excellent condition. Notwithstanding the war scare and the so-called hard time the "Dollar Money" which is the barometer of the conference year's work was up to the standard and even a little beyond that of last year. The fall down was mostly among the larger churches, the smaller ones, however, bringing up the rear. This is true, only of few of the larger churches, some of which are heavily burdened with debt, and the shorter conference year on account of the meeting of the General Conference of the church, which meets in Philadelphia the first Wednesday in May. the appointments follow.

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL A well attended meeting of the Booker T. Washington Memorial committee was held Sunday afternoon at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association. After hearing the report of the committee on speakers, it was determined to postpone the meeting until some time in the late summer or early fall, it was impossible to secure the services of Major Moten, former President Roosevelt and other speakers desired at the present time. The finance committee was, however augmented and all the committees will take up the work of collecting funds and perfecting the organization, not only in the city, but throughout the State. It is earnestly hoped that every one will feel an interest in the raising of this fund and will assist the various committees as far as possible. The meeting to be held in the fall will, it is hoped, be the closing of the campaign, the fund in the meantime having been raised. Bishop John Hurst is chairman of the committee, and Dr. O. E. Reid, chairman of the finance committee. RABBI DELIVERS BITTER ATTACK ON LYNCH LAW Philadelphia, April 18.—Keneseth Israel Temple, Broad street above Columbia avenue, was filled Sunday morning, to hear Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf [talk on the "American Negro." He rebuked the white race in this country for criticising European war atrocities while condoning the wrongs inflicted upon the Negroes. He referred to Georgia as that "lynch Mad State." Holding up a copy of "The April Crisis" before his vast audience showing them a picture of five Negroes hanging to a limb of a tree, said The stench of this is nauseating, and Americans will do well to ponder the record of 4000 lynchings in the United States before repeating the outcry that was raised when the English nurse, Miss Gavell, was shot by the Germans as a spy. Inequality before the law between the white and colored American must cease. SEGREGATION LAW GETS SETBAG St. Louis, Mo., April 17—Judge Dyer of the Federal District Court has granted an injunction against the enforcement of the Segregation law recently passed in this city. In passing on the injunction proceedings, Judge Dyer stated that "The Negro is entitled to the same considerations and the same rights as the white man, and should have the same rights before the law." WOULD ABOLISH HARMFUL PHOTO PRODUCTIONS Washington, April 19.—Representative Dyer has introduced a bill in the National House of Representatives to prohibit the pictorial representation of films that are calculated to harm any race or group of people. PRICE THREE CENTS GETTING IN LINE FOR CONFERENCE Philadelphia, April 19.—The committee of arrangements is making great preparations for the entertainment of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which convenes May 3, at Bethel A. M. E. Church in this city. The program committee has finished its task of providing a program for the twenty-one days and nights in which the general conference will be in session. Some of the ablest men of the denomination from Africa and in America have been placed on the program, which will probably present a greater array of distinguished Negro talent than any convention or conference ever held in the history of the United States. The committee on homes has provided for more than a thousand people during the conference. The delegates will number about 650, and there will be about 650 alternates. Among these there will be about 150 lay delegates and 150 lay alternates. Among the distinguished laymen are Hon. George W. Ellis, Dr. C. V. Roman of Meharry Medical College, and editor of the National Medical Journal and author of the recent book on "The Negro in America." Hon. Charles Banks, head of the Mound Bayou (Miss.) bank; Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the builder of the largest Negro publishing house in the United States; J. M. Avery of Durham, N. C., one of the managers of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association; Professor A. S. Jackson, secretary of education; John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary, who has handled nearly $1,000,000 dollar money during the past quadrennium; and Isaac H. Nutter, a lawyer of Atlantic City, N. J. A daily paper will be conducted—the Daily Christian Recorder—of which Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr. will be editor and Rev. J. I. Lowe, manager. This daily will have the full proceedings of each day reported stenographically and ready for the delegates when they take their seats at each morning session. The Acadamy of Music, the Convention Hall, the Olympia theater, the Music Fund Hall, which are the largest auditoriums in the city have been engaged, besides every one of the fifteen A.M.E. Churches and churches of several other denominations. The committee on entertainment, of which Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., is chairman, has announced many interesting features to make pleasant the stay of the delegates. An automobile ride of two to three hours will be given free to all the delegates to show them Philadelphia, a great banquet will be had, a series of stereoptico lectures showing the history of the church and its present condition, a great concert of 2,000 voices and the grand historical pageant of Negro religion, entitled "The Star of Ethiopia," written and managed by D. W. E. B. DuBois will also be presented. KITTRELL'S COMMENCEMENT Kittrell, N. C., April 13.—The annual commencement of Kittrell College will commence here Saturday, April 22, and will continue through to April 27, when Dr. W. P. Few, president of Trinity College, Durham, N. C., will deliver the addr-ss to the graduates. Prof. C. G. O'Kelly, is president of the institution. IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES MARK SCHOOL-NAMING School No. 113 was formally named on Wednesday in honor of Benjamin Banneker. The handsome bronze Tablet, containing the principal achievements of the astronomer, author and inventor's career. The invocation was delivered by Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., rector of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, and principal Harry T. Pratt, presided and introduced the several speakers. Harry S. Cummings, city councilman, eulogized the life of Banneker, and paid glowing tribute to his deeds and memory, his abilities and his acquisitions, and cited him as a proof of the mental capacity of persons of African decent. Mr. Harry T. Pratt, principal of the school, in accepting the Tablet from the hands of Dr. A. B. Bibbons, member of the School Board, also paid a high tribute to the school and those who have gone out from it and their many activities. Hon. A. S. Goldsborough, editor of the Municipal Journal and secretary of the Factory Site Commission referred to Banneker as an illustration of the way high character and genius may overcome the handicap of color. Assistant Superintendent Watts, complimented the school on the advanced character of its educational work, and stated how the school was transforming the children into self-reliant citizens, and complimented the parents upon their splendid cooperation Letters of regret were read from Superintendent of Public Instruction, Charles J. Kock, and Bishop John Hurst. The hall and adjoining rooms were beautifully decorated with flowers, flags, various colored electric lights and ferns and rubber plant. ODD FELLOWS IN NASHVILLE AT ODDS Nashville, Tenn., April 18.—The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in this state seem to be passing thru troubles similar to those in Georgia. According to a recent report of the District Grand Master, Ira T. Bryant, certain Grand Lodge officers have been guilty of dishonesty, graft, padding, of reports, suppressing the truth and appropriating large sums of money to their own use. He claims that there are more than $10,000 worth of claims against the endowment department with only about $1,000 to its credit in the bank. On account of District Grand Master Bryant's activities in trying to bring these men to account, the executive committee summoned him to appear before them and show cause why he should not be suspended. As he did not appear they proceeded to suspend him. He applied to the Sub Committee of Management for an injunction to prevent them from ousting him, which was granted, and the fight is still on with no one knowing where it will end. BAPTIST CONVENTION PROGRAM Vicksburg, Miss., April 19.— Rev. E. P. Jones, president of the National Baptist Convention will call a meeting of the Executive Committee. The principal work of the committee will be the arranging of the program for the meeting of the Convention which will be held in Kansas City, September 6th to 12th. MBS: BECKETT RESIGNS Washington, D. C., April 20: Mrs. Mary C. Beckett, president of the Baltimore Conference Branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, sent her resignation to Bishop Levi J. Coppin. The resignation is to take effect immediately. MANY ASPIRANTS FOR BISHOPRIC Will Be On Hand To Do Something Toward Helping To Make Them If He Is Able To So. Orangeburg, S. C.—The people are getting ready to do things in a short time, and I want to be in the doing whether I am able or not, yet I may not. The general conferences of three churches will meet this year, New York, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, and there are many men who want to be bishops, and others wanting to be elected to other offices. But then there is the country, and it will have to elect a real president, and I hope it will be done. In this I am not saying a word about the man who is now serving as president. He has made his record and is now ready to be offered up or down one. If the country calls him for another year he will answer and if it should tell him to go way back and sit down he will do that also. Speak and he will obey. I don't know who is going to be nominated but I think that the parties will come together and Col. Roosevelt will have the appointment and will stir things up to a fine point. He is a fine man, and then he is brave. I have been riding a little since I wrote to you the last time, and at the same time I have been trying to keep up with the case of Dr. Thompson. I am glad to say that he has not been lynched and I hope that he will never be. The white man must take his place, as a real man in this country and not as a coward. He must not get in a fight with a Negro and if he should so far forget himself, and gets whipped then he should take his part like a real man and let the Negro alone. He should not have murder on his hands. No man's blood should have to cry out "Unworthy" but he should be able to look all men in the face and say "I have been honest with life and with my fellow being. I have been to Tampa, and from there I found my way to Ocala, Fla., and you would be interested to know what is going on in Ocala. They have a real knitting mill in the town and it is owned and operated by our people, giving employment to nearly a hundred, and it is only a question of time when it will be two hundred. This is due to the fact that there was a man in town, and a man in the world, who stood up like a man, and declared that he was a man. They have a bank there and other places of interest that are doing the real thing by men. From Tampa and Ocala, I went to Jacksonville, to be there for the celebration of the 24th anniversary of the Florida Baptist College. I was right there on time and had my say about all of this, and talked to the people. I was there just one day ahead of time, and spent the day with Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters College, one of the best institutions in the south. Dr. Gregg has erected a monument for himself. This is located in the district over which Bishop John Hurst presides. To see the work and the college is helpful. I want to see the time come when Dr. Gregg will be promoted because of the good work they have placed upon him and he has attended to it all. He is a scholar, because in addition to finishing from the grammar school, he went to the University of Chicago, making a good record there. I should have said to the University of Kansas located in Lawrence, which may some day be the capital city. He made it there, and then went to Africa where he worked among our own people. Now he is at home working and we are real proud of the work he has done. Looking after those who are worthy. I am sure that I was ready for to go into the meeting on Wednesday morning. There were people there from everywhere, who were anxious to witness the exercises, and believe me they were of a higher order. Special music had been arranged for the time and the people were all prepared for it. I have told you about Prof. N. W. Collier before. He is one of the strongest men in the race, or out of it. He has been at the head of this school for so many years until he hardly knows what headship is. He is simply serving his people and they seem delighted to have him serve. There are many young men in this country today who are proud with the boasting of Prof. Collier. The oldest teacher in the school from point of service, was Miss Sarah A. Blocker, who has just spent 24 years in the school. It was but fitting that her anniversary of service should be celebrated at the same time. She is a deserving woman, and is doing a great service to the girls and for the girls. She is teaching them how to think, by giving to them this old home spun gospel, one that will stand the test. She knows how to use the persuader today. Good for her and the work. For the celebration they had fine music and then two set speakers, Dr. Rogers of the white Baptist Church, and then Charles Stewart, of Chicago, who is also a Baptist, but I am not prepared to say just how long he has been on the walls, but I do know that he is making things go. I heard the speech and then I went out and looked at the school, for it has made a place in history, and will ever stand right there in order to help to ask the people to work for her. I listened to the speeches and then I saw a man who ranks with the best, Charles H. Anderson, the treasurer of the National Negro Business League and others. He is a banker, a scholar, dealer in fish and oysters and almost everything else that is wanted on a first-class table. I think I will let you guess about this. He made the appeal for money, as did Rev. D. W. Vann. They took the collection and I remained over in town all night, leaving the next day for Savannah, Ga., where I spent just the part of another day, and closed the business up and went home, and I hope that he is spending his time in prayer right there at home, because he will be able to accomplish so much. It would not be out of place for me to tell you that from Savannah, I went to Denmark to visit the Voorhees Normal and Industrial College, which was planted by Miss Elizabeth Wright, who has gone home to rest, but the institution is there with about 300 acres of good land, and boys and girls are getting an education. At the head of the school just now is to be found Prof. Martin A. Menafee, who has made his place and who has contributed to the success of the institution. He holds the position of treasurer and acting principal of the school. Overlooking this plant is the monument of Miss Wright. She has done her work well, and she earned the rest. God has taken care of her, and her work continues to live and grow. It will ever be in the hands of the people. Mr. Menafee has grown with the work. He will continue to grow. Right by his side is to be found Prof. Martin, a young man from home and others. When I say from home, I mean from Baltimore, Md. These young people are doing well and we hope they will live many years yet. Mrs. McGuinn is also to be found in the work. These men and women are devoting their time and talent in the training of our boys and girls. There is a fine student body in the school, and then there is a fine body who are right there to instruct the teachers and the pupils in the Sunday school. The institution is doing its work. When it comes to the state college where I am now to head my way, I would to have you go with me. God bless you. Let me hear from you when you can let me do so. It is a fine building and fine people in it. I will have more to say to you about the school later. I hope you will have time to listen when I go to talking. I have not mentioned all that long list of teachers and otiers. I have not told you about the plans for general conference, and I think I might not be so well. Some declare that it is not intended to do so while we are at the eating place. Educate the head and you have it all. Too many Negroes are dying and I want to call a halt if possible. You see man is thought, and the thought comes from the head. But this is not the time to talk about that now. It is now time for me to bring this letter to a stop. I will write again next week. I will tell you about the fire here. Thrifty School at Manassas, Va. The annual report of the Manassas (Va.) Industrial school emphasizes the healthy growth of the institution along all lines of its work and the need of sufficient funds to meet the growing demands for a larger and better equipment for industrial work. The school was founded twenty-two years ago by Miss Jennie Dean. The school farm consists of 200 acres. Particular stress is laid upon the study of agriculture and the preparation of teachers for the rural schools of Virginia. Successful Work of Dr. Matilda Evans. The St. Luke hospital, Columbia, S.C. is doubtless the only institution of its kind in the United States owned by a woman physician who is also the chief practitioner. Dr. Matilda Evans of the above named institution hears this unique distinction and conducts the work with signal success. She employs twelve young men and women regularly and has recently secured and moved into larger quarters. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LATEST IN SPORTS BY SPORTSMAN THE BIG MARATHON RACE Yep! we are going to pull off our Annual Marathon Race and it's going to be better, bigger and grander than ever. We will have the cooperation this year of the Y. M. C. A. and Secretary Booker, who will help us give the race and help create interest and enthusiasm throughout the city in this event. The date of the race has been set for Saturday, June 3rd, at 11.30 a.m. and its course will probably be over the same route as the race of last year. There will be suitable prizes offered to the winners and competition in this race should prove keeb and interesting. Many of last year's entrants have expressed their intentions of entering the race this year, while some new talent has also signified their willingness to take a shot at the prizes by sending in their blanks. Blanks will be sent to Washington, D.C., Easton, Md., and to all clubs, schools, athletic organizations in and around the city whom might wish to send representatives into the race. As usual the Dunbar Club will have a good representation in the race in an endeavor to carry off the club trophy. They have been successful in winning both of the club trophies offered to the club having the largest number of men to finish, and they are desirous of annexing another to their already long list of prives. It is expected that Morgan College, High School, Howard University and St. Mary's, will be in the race for the club trophy this year, and in this direction competition will be made much livelier. Secretary Booker fully alive to the athletic interests of the boys of this city offered the assistance and prestige of himself and the Y. M. C. A. in running off the race and we accepted with alacrity. New fellows get out your running paraphenalia and get on the road. It will help you physically, mentally and morally. Get in the race. Get one of the prizes. They might be enough for everyone who finishes. Stir your stumps! DUNBAR A. A. DEFEATED. The second team of the High School defeated the second team of the Dunbar A. A. at Bethel Hall last Thursday night by the score of 14-7. The first half of the game found the High School right on the backs of the Dunbar, determined to retrieve the defeat of a few weeks ago at the hands of their opponents. The Dunbar boys seemed to be away off form and showed little real "stuff" while the High School boys stirred to greater efforts by the rooting of their school mates appeared to have the Indian sign on the Dunbar from the very first. Times were but little better for the Dunbar in the second half as the lead their opponents had gained on them in the first half could not be overcome, and they had to be content with scoring three baskets, bringing their score up to 7. The two teams will play off the tie in the final game of the season tonight (Saturday) at the Chapel. While the H. S. was drubbing Dunbar the Senior Girls of the H. S. beat the Juniors in a hard and exciting game that was featured by the light scoring of either side. BIG ATHLETIC MEET RUMORED There are whisperings in the air of a big outdoor athletic meet to be held by the combined clubs of the city, in the very near future. May said whisperings be condensed into definite arrangement for the holding of such an event. It will be a big opportunity for the boys of this city and a big thing for athletes generally. We shall endeavor to pick an all-star local basket ball team, in next week's issue of this paper. If your name isn't in it don't get mad, just send in your reasons why you think it should be. SMART SET TO HOLD BIG MEET. The big indoor meet to be held in New York by the Smart Set A. C. of that city next Friday night promises to be the biggest athletic event pulled off by the race this year, and will bring together the cream of athletes in both races. It is the last scheduled appearance of Howard Drew, the king of sprinters, here in the East. POCOMOKE STARTS BASEBALL SEASON Pocomoke City, Md.—The Pocomoke Base Ball Team opened the season with a game on Saturday with Tindleys Chapel Nine with a score of 2 to 0 in Pocomoke's favor. JOHNSON TO RUN IN NEW YORK Earl Johnson, of Morgan College, who jumped into the sporting limelight by winning last year's Afro-American Marathon, and consequently several mile races here and in Washington, will probably go to New York to compete in the open mile handicap race. Should he win this event it will be a big feather in his hat and will put Baltimore on the athletic map with both feet. Here's luck to him and our best wishes that he may go up and win. WINS THE FIRST GAME. The Port Deposit Stars played their first game of the season defeating the Port Deposit A. C. 14 to 3. Bell, Smith, Randall and Fields were the stars of the game. Grillin, the star pitcher of last season, has greatly improved and with the addition of D. Peters, the crack catcher, formerly of the Chester Stars, they are able to hold their own with all first class teams thruout the state for games address E. Tildon, manager, Port Deposit, Md. QUITE SO, QUITE SO, We give ourselves a boquet. Friends will excuse us if we make a polite bow and beg to dissent from THE CRISIS. In a recent number that magazine with calm assurance announced that M. St. High School had the champion football team of the secondary schools of the middle south—or words to that effect. We presume the editor was informed by one, in whose word he had confidence. But let us see. Suppose we recite the record of Storer's stalwarts and see where the championship rests by every law of logic. Here is the record: Storer vs. Howard Academy 0-0. Storer vs. M. St. High 20-0. Storer vs. Armstrong M. T. 7-0. Storer vs. Morgan College 51-0. Score, Storer and opponents 78-0. If we take our hat off to ourselves, there seems to be some reason, and further there is some sign of reason for the Crisis informer to make some slight correction. Honor to whom nonor is due! The team of '15 was one of the pest that ever represented the Old Gold, and we desire them to have all the laurels belonging to those having an uncrossed goal line, and who could rise to such a magnincent exhibition as they gave in the game with Morgan College team. We do not think that the team and subs have ever been listed before and so we give the list here. Lewis, c; mcDaniel, rg; Smith, lg. Benson, ig.; J. Howell, rt.(captain); M. Howell, lt.; Sink, r.; Wade, le.(manager); Lockwood, le; Allenby, r.; Calloway, r.; Diggs, rh.; Green, lh.; Adams, lb.; Thomas, half; McNeal, end; Johnson, tackle; Carter, quarter. From Storer College Journal or some other publication of that school. The above clipping was sent to us and we publish vernatim. Baseball teams everywhere are invited to send the news of their gams and any baseball news to this paper. These columns are open to you. Use them. S. MARY'S TO PLAY HARRISBURG. The St. Mary's speedboys will reopen their season next Wednesday night when they play the Olympic basketball team of Harrisburg, Pa., a return game. In their first meeting this season the Harrisburgers gave the locals a good drubbing. The St. Mary's boys claimed they were handicapped by a slippery floor, and no suction shoes. They will have any opportunity to vindicate their claims Wednesday night. Here's hoping. BILLIARD TOURNAMENT The Pocket Billiard Tournament commenced a few days ago proved interesting. Twenty-four members were s heduled and after three rounds the successful men are as follows: Messrs. Lloyd A. Clark, Walter Pinderhughes, H. E Young, Albert Butler, Maceo Thomas and Floyd Lewis.

Easter, the time of rejoicing, of flowers, of happiness. There are two Easters that stand out in Esther Cameron's life above all others in her short life, short because she is still a young woman. The first gave her the greatest joy, the second her greatest sorrow. Esther Cameron was a beautiful girl, she is still beautiful, but her wonderful dark eyes tell one of a sorrow lived and always with her. She was born and reared in the city of Washington, and lived until her marriage in an old fashioned house in an old fashioned neighborhood, where the houses stood like sentinels, weather worn and old. Esther was an only child, and a very much spoilt one. Esther's mother was a proud haughty woman, who had lived well until her husband's death, when she suddenly found her income was insufficient to keep Esther as she would like, unless she did something to increase her income; not being used to work, the only thing she could do well, was sew. So rather than take Esther out of school, she swallowed her pride, and solicited sewing. People gave it to her gladly as they knew she was a fine modiste; but she lasted them for their kindness, because she thought they pitied her, but for Esther's sake she sewed early and late. She gave Esther all she could and Esther took it and thought little of the woman that worked so hard to give it. Esther cared only for the lighter part of life and her mother encouraged her in it. After graduating with high honors, she decided — much against her mother's wish—that she would teach. Her dearest girl friend was a successful High School teacher and Esther wanted to be like her. But she did not prove a successful teacher because her heart was not in the work, and she was too used to doing as she pleased, and she chafed—fumed at the restraint and grew to dislike the work, though too proud to acknowledge it, and give it up, and things were going from bad to worse. One evening during Lent a few of Esther's girl friends including Esther were enjoying a game of cards, when Esther threw her cards on the table and said "Dear me, I'm tired of cards and everything else, let's quit and just talk." Every one was willing. "Now"—said her friend Alice Horton, "Get it off of your mind Esther, what's up—what do you want to talk about?" "Anything," said Esther—"I don't care what, so it's something new." "Well let us prophecy for each other," said one of the girls. "As to what will happen before another year rolls around." "Good," said Esther jumping up and clapping her hands, "only I'll prophecy for myself and I'll tell mine first." "Listen," she said, "Girls I'm going to marry the first man that asks me, and in six months time I'll ask you all to my wedding." "But who is the man Esther?" they asked. "I don't know," she said "I haven't even seen him." "Well! of all fool things, I think that's about the worst." "Esther Cameron, I knew you were silly but I didn't think you would do anything so foolish as that." "Well foolish or silly, it makes no difference to me, it is what I intend to do, wait and see," she said. Every one laughed, as they all thought it a huge joke. A few days later, Easter Monday—Esther was returning home from making some calls. Finding it was rather early she decided to walk home, though a long way from home. She didn't think the distance mattered very much, because she was tired of the cars, tired of the city and its continual grind; in fact, tired of everything, herself included. The day had been an ideal Easter day. Everybody seemed happy. Smiling faces, new hats, new dresses and flowers galore. It was a glorious Easter tide and yet Esther was dissatisfied, because she thought of the next day in the schoolroom, and it provoked her to think that even this lovely day and the prospects of the dance that night, could not obliterate the thought of the hateful schoolroom and its work; not very pleasant thoughts for such a day. Suddenly a clap of thunder followed by a vivid flash of lightning brought Esther back to earth and to where she was. She saw people hurrying and running here—there in all directions, seeking shelter. She discovered that she was in a strange neighborhood—as she had paid no heed as to where she was going, so busy was she with her thoughts—and a long distance from home. She was undecided for a moment what to do, should she take the cars and get home or seek shelter until the storm was over, when a glance at the sky and the ominous roll of thunder, warned her the storm was not far off; she thought then of a drug store at the corner a block below, and she turned and started back to seek shelter there. The sky was growing blacker fast and another hard clap of thunder, that sounded like a load of dynamite let loose—shook the ground under her feet—followed by a lurid flash of lightning which split the bark from a tree and zig-zagged right along in front of her for about six feet, made her recoil with a scream. She started to run and just succeeded in gaining shelter, when the storm burst in all its fury. It seemed as though the very heavens were rent in twain. The wind blew, the rain came down in sheets, the shade trees were bent, twisted and torn up by the roots, limbs from trees snapped off like straws and carried along by the wind and dropped across the streets and along the pavements like so much paper. Telegraph wires were torn loose-poles blown down and all traffic at a stand still. The streets had become a river, a mad raiding torrent from one side to the other; the water looked as though, at any moment it would dash into the drug store. As she sat and watched it, it seemed to say, "just a little more, and I'll have you." Esther watched it, fascinated, wondering if it would come inside. The only sound inside, was the ticking of the clock. She glanced up and the darkness was so thick outside that it looked uncanny. And the little gleams of light that pierced it here and there looked like a ghostly army of wings marching thru space. The rain came down slower and slower and suddenly ceased. The sky became brighter and brighter, the sun shone faint and white thru the mist. A watery truce, but grateful. She thought the storm was over and was wondering how she would get home, when the sun disappeared, the sky became overcast, the roar of thunder was heard in the distance, louder and louder as it came nearer, when it broke with a crash and a roar—that shook the building—right over her head, and brought her to her feet with a jerk. A few drops of rain against the window pane, then a drizzle, then it poured—the floodgates opened and it became a deluge. Esther was so frightened that she was speecless, she stood with her face hid in her hands, thinking if it became any worse she would collapse. Her nerves were almost at the breaking point, when, bang—the door flew open and a man simply fell into the room. Esther stood and looked at him, like a person suddenly bereft of her senses. She had not the power to move or speak. The door stood open and the rain poured in. The clerk came to his senses and came from behind the counter and shut the door; he then went to the man and stooping turned him over on his back, as he had fallen face downwards; and such was her meeting with Paul Burke the man—who—though she did not know it then—was to become her husband. Paul Burke was a man that every one—who knew him—liked. He was jolly, bright and cheerful. Although a man that had to hoe his own row, he was not one to be telling anyone what a hard time he had to get along. He had no one to depend on but himself, but he had made good, and at the time he so uncremoniously met Esther, he has holding the position of principal of one of Washington's largest schools. He loved life and children and he often dreamed of a home of his own. The acquaintance made in the storm, soon ripened into friendship. After three months every girl who was at that card party, was teasing Esther about Paul. But Esther simply smiled and no one knew whether she first thought of Paul as an acquaintance or if they were lovers. But one day Alice met her and said, "Are you in earnest Esther, I'd dearly love to know?" "Why don't you find out?" Esther replied, and her lips waved into what she considered a cynical smile. "Don't be angry," Alice said, "I don't really care; it's nothing to me, only we'd always been such good friends I thought I might ask." "Well," said Alice, "any girl that is as good looking as you are, has got to be very careful not to be talked about, and as you two seem to see only each other I thot I'd ask. "Have they talked about me and—and Mr. Burke?" Esther asked. Alice nodded. "A little, I'm afraid. Nothing that amounts to anything but I thought I'd find out and if you were not serious, warn you to be a trifle more cautious." Esther went her way homeward wondering to herself if she was serious. "Did she love Paul, but why wonder she said; I marry him anyway to get out of this teaching business, oh, how I hate it." But Esther was mistaken, she did love Paul, as much as a shallow nature like hers was capable of loving anyone. One afternoon a few weeks later Esther stopped to see a friend of her mother's, a woman who loved Esther so dearly. After a desultory conversation about nothing particular, she abruptly said, "What do you think I'm going to do Miss May?" "My dear, I'm sure I don't know; you do so many foolish things." "But this happens to be something very sensible," said Esther, "I'm going to get married," she said, "and have the finest, the swellest wedding you ever saw in your life." "But my child," said Miss May, "you are not ready for marriage and who is the unlucky man?" "Well of all the nerve, "said Esther, "I don't see why I haven't as much right to marry as any other girl. I think you are mean to say such a thing. "Unlucky—indeed he may consider himself blessed." "Esther" said Miss May. "I love you dearly—too well not to tell you the truth; you may not like what I'm going to say, but you should be told; your mother has spoiled you and has never taught you to keep house or do any of the thousand and one things that go to make a happy home, and you'll be doing the man an injustice. You are not prepared and you shouldn't marry any man. God bless your little soul, what can you do, besides teach and that not any too well. You are a real butterfly, dancing, skating, tennis, card playing, those things don't make a wife or keep a home, my dear you'd better give it up until you learn. He is a poor man and you an only child, used to doing as you please and having a gay time. Get some of the foolishness out of your head first. He is a good steady boy and deserves a good wife. Take six months or even a year and give some of these so-called pleasures up—deny yourself and then think of Mr. Burke. "My dear Miss May," said Esther. "I'm not crazy and I am three times seven, and I'll marry Paul Burke. He is not rich, but he makes $1500 a year, and two people can live off that nicely, without half trying." "Yes," said Miss May, "any girl who knows how to manage a home can do so, but you don't know how." "Well," said Esther with a sarcastic smile. "Your advice is not needed, well be married in spite of you and all the old maids like you so there," and with a whirl she was out of the house and gone before Miss May could recover from her astonishment. Esther made: good her bonust and married Paul Burke and Washington society folks will long remember the beautiful fashionable wedding of Esther Cameron and Paul Burke. Paul bought a pretty little home in Northwest Washington and furnished it comfortably throughout. They were happy for awhile, but after a short six months Paul awoke to the fact that his wife was not any help to him at all. Whenever he came home, he must help wash dishes, cook his own meals or help Esther to do it as Esther was as helpless as a baby and had no more idea of managing a home than some one who had never heard of a home. If he hired help she couldn't keep them. She would go to dances, and afternoon teas and card parties and often Paul came home to an empty home. She joined a whist club, and would even take trips to Baltimore and stay all night and arrive home the next day at noon, too tired to do a thing but sleep. Often he came home and found it so often a contest between the Washington and Baltimore whist clubs. One day he said: "Esther, I think you are over doing things, do give up this card playing. I don't object to a dance once in a while or even a card party, but this way, you are running me in the hole." "Am I," she sneeered, "well stay in the hole. I didn't marry you to make a household slave out of myself, and I'm going wherever I please and whenever I please." "All right," said Paul, "you'll have only yourself to blame when the smash comes." They had now been married four years and there were two dear little babies, but Esther cared little for her children; she was an ungrateful wife and an unconcerned mother. Paul managed to keep a woman to look after the children and he would do what he could to keep things going and help when he was home with the children. People would often say—what an ideal couple, but who can see behind closed doors. "Paul," said Esther one spring—"I want money enough to take a trip to the seashore for a month. We can take a cottage and you can come backwards and forwards at the end of the week. "Dr. and Mrs. James are going to take one, and I promised them I would take the adjoining cottage." "But, Esther, I haven't the money; you have run things with such a high hand this winter that I can't possibly please you." Esther stormed and raved, but Paul sai. he could not give her the money. "Paul—I'm going home," she announced at the dinner table one evening—"we can't seem to get along so I'll go back to mother." "But what will your mother do with you and the children," said he. Esther laughed, "My dear, she sneered, "did you think I intended to take the children, I wouldn't be worried with them. You seem to think that a summer down on some old farm is good enough, well, I assure you I'm going to the seashore this year or we part company." Poor Paul, was stunned, he thought sure "Esther must be joking," he thought "Surely she would not do anything so foolish." "Easter only a few weeks off and she wanted a trip to the seashore for a few days, what can I do to wake her up to the faces that we can't keep time with the people whose incomes are four and five times what mine is now." He worried himself about Esther until people began to talk of how badly or how wretched he looked, and there was someone continually asking him, "Are you sick Paul, or saying, "Mr. Burke you'd better take a rest, before you have a complete break-down." "Rest"—he thought. "How can I rest? I can't make ends meet now." Just at the close of school, the week before Easter, one Wednesday afternoon he was called to the office, to answer the phone. He turned to go, but a pain caught him, and it was so severe, before he could speak or tell anyone what was wrong, he fell in a faint. They took him to the office, and laid him on the couch, and tried all they knew how, to bring him back to consciousness, but their efforts were futile. They phoned for a doctor, and when he came and saw him, he said we'll take him to the hospital. He phoned for the ambulance and had him carried to the hospital. When Esther heard the news she was dazed; she couldn't think for awhile, and when she could think rationally her first thot was a selfish one, as usual—self. "Now I can't go to the Shore," she said, but her better self came to the front and she said, "Poor Paul, I guess it's all my fault; I did not mean to worry you." When news came, the next day "that Paul had a fighting chance." Esther bowed her head and said, "My God I thank Thee. I have been so foolish and blind. Dear God, let him live, I pray." Every day she went to the hospital to see him and would sit for hours beside him with his hand in hers, asking God for the life she had valued so little. The doctors and nurses would try to cheer her by telling her "he would soon be better; such things took time." Her lips would waver into a pathetic little smile as she would look at them with her eyes fill of tears. She knew they had no hope of saving and only allowed her to be with him so often and as long at the time because he was quiet, when she held his hand. It was a long vigil Esther kept and there were days when she thought that God had forsaken her entirely and that she would pay the penalty of her folly by losing Paul—days that even her presence and the feel of her hand on his brow could not keep him quiet. On such days she would pray and pray and one day she said: "My God, I love him so; don't take him and leave me to starve on memories I want to forget." But tonight is the turning point. At midnight she would know if her prayers would be answered. The doctors have broken a rule in her favor, and she sits by his bed, in the shadowy room, with his hand clasped in hers, the way he is most quiet. Now and then he moves a little, but for the most part he is quiet. Sleep is far from Esther's eyes. As she sits thus with closed eyes, her head resting against his pillow, she is praying as she never prayed before, for life and love. Her body is oh, so tired, but her mind is active. Every few minutes she opens her eyes and looks at him, afraid to move for fear of disturbing him. But this time as she gazes he moves, murmurs her name and slowly opens his eyes and looks unconsciously at first straight into Ester's eyes. Gradually the look of reason begins to dawn, and as he becomes conscious he whispers ch, so low, "Esther," so low only the ears of love could hear it, then closes his eyes and sleeps, the peaceful sleep of a little child. The doctor entering the room looks down at his patient, sees that the crisis has passed and he will live. He then discovers that Esther has fainted. They removed her carefully so as not to disturb Paul. When she realizes where she is her first question is, "Tell me he is not dead." "He will live," said the doctor. But he had to take her back to the room and let her see to convince her. The next morning when Paul awoke, himself again, though a very weak self, he found beside him Esther and a much changed Esther. "Get well, Paul," she whispered, "for my sake and the children. I'll be a better wife, Paul, and we'll start over again. It has been a dearly bought lesson, my husband, but I have learned it well." He looked at her and smiled—a poor, pitiful, weak little smile—that made her heart ache; but she was satisfied to have it so, because she knew he had forgiven her. "It has been a sorrowful time, little woman," he said: "but out of it has come a lasting joy—your love and our understanding of each other." It was many days before Paul could be moved, though he tried so hard to get well for Esther's sake. She never knew the effort he made nor the pain he bore, nor how sometimes, even for her, it was almost more than he could stand or hide from her. But he was content to lie and have her with him and at times bring the little ones to see him. They talked and planned of the future—a future that will be a dearer one to each of them for the trials it took to make it so. SCOTTISH RITE MASONS TO MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS Supreme Council to Open With Divine Service Sunday, May 7. Indianapolis, Ind.-The thirty-sixth annual session of the supreme council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the northern Masonic jurisdiction will be held in this city from Sunday, May 7, to 9, inclusive.

Constantine consistory is planning to entertain the organization in the royal fashion that always characterizes the people of the Hoosier capital. The regular business session will be interspersed with many interesting and enjoyable social features, including a banquet. On Sunday, May 7, at 8 p. m., a special divine service will be held at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, when the Rev. William H. Weaver, thirty-third degree, will deliver a sermon especially prepare, for the occasion. The supreme council will attend this service, escorted by the Masonic bodies of Indianapolis.

It is our own opinion, that Uncle Sam is waiting for a strangle hold. Among other things, the Brazilians have preserved the old Southern custom of carrying all packages on their heads. A party of traveling Americans attempted to get the better of a little brown boy by giving him a letter to mail. The chap hesitated but a moment, placed the letter on his head; and a brick on top of that and trotted to the mail box. Very few women are inclined to admit their age much less say that they are older than they really are. Basesl, Switzerland offers an exception to the rule. There are aged lady, was regarded everywhere as the oldest centenarian in the country, 102, and because, of this fact, received unusual attention everywhere. She rode without paying on the street cars, enjoyed free meals at the restaurants, and received pension from the government. Unfortunately all this has now ceased; Mrs. Zimmerli has been proven to be only 82 years old, and admits that she added 22 years to her age in order to enjoy the benefits thereof. Will white people ever get to the point where they will credit colored people with having as much honor as white people have, at least some white people and some colored people, for it is a well known fact that all of neither race can be depended upon. There are some of both races that can be bought and for almost any old price. This paper came out several weeks ago in an editorial stating our position in the present campaign for senator from Maryland. Since that time we have been repeatedly approached and bribes offered for us to change our attitude along that line. We have been told several times that "we are not in the newspaper business for our health." No we are not. And for that reason we have reserved only the editorial columns of our paper for our own particular use and in which we from time to time, as we are doing now, express our opinion of men and things. Our paper consists of forty-eight columns, the most of them are for sale at our regular advertising rates, which will be made known upon application. The editorial columns are not for sale at any price, and when we say this we mean it. The Afro-American is not a weather-cock to turn this way or that way as the money wind may blow. It "STAYS PUT," first, last and all the time. Thus endeth the chapter. Should There Be Drills In The High School The wave of preparedness which is sweeping over the country as the result of the consciousness of our inability to furnish a sufficient body of able bodied men in case of invasion, and more than this the ludicrous spectacle of our wild goose chase into Mexico, is not sparing the school children, who are entering into the idea of military training with characteristic American enthusiasm. Hampton, Wilberforce and Tuskegee and the Washington High Schools thru the institution of drills many years ago are in the forefront of the new movement. Paterson, thru the Superintendent of Schools asked the Board of Education last week for permission to establish drills in the city schools to include "both the boys and the girls." In New York state the Welsh-Slater High School Military Bill, which has only passed the Senate, and therefore not yet become a law, provides for companies in every High School in the state. Military companies for the local high schools have been suggested, been considered too by the Board of Education, but have never become an actuality because of the lack of public sentiment. The Washington system of drills now in operation and the New York system about to be inaugurated are practically the same. All boys physically sound are eligible for enlistment, altho no one is compelled to enlist. Instructors are made available from selected officers and non-commissioned officers from the National Guard for their instruction. Two periods of an hour and a half per week throut the school year are given to actual drilling either in an armory or in the wide smooth streets. Instruction is further supplemented by two or three short lectures during the year on such subjects as military organization, discipline, security and information. As an evidence of the enthusiasm invoked by these drills, Washington reports that the average school boy regards it as the disappointment of a life time, if for any reason he is excluded from participation in school drills, and the competition for places as officers increases and insures an effectiveness that is in every way satisfying. Altho the bill has not yet become a law in New York two High Schools have already allowed the establishment of school companies, one of which is 200 strong, and the commending officer states that he has never drilled a more apt or a more enthusiastic set of pupils. So far as the local situation goes there is every thing to be gained and nothing to lose. But a very small percentage of our High School students can win positions on the athletic teams, and the great majority are condemned to a most inadequate substitute of physical exercises in very cramped and poorly, lighted quarters. Folk dancing, dumb-bell drill and gymnastics in general are very well for elementary school children, but certainly a "IT IS FINISHED" Finished was His day's work in the body. Finished was the Jewish age; finished was the Sanctum Sanctorium, for the veil of the Temple was rent in twain; finished was the scroll of law and the testimony of the prophets; finished was His manifestation in the human flesh; finished was His suffering; finished was His toil for humanity; finished was the full sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. But not finished was His glory. This was the beginning of new things. The great sun-burst of glory, of righteousness and truth is now to fill the world; human lives are to be made brighter for the great deliverence had come. We rejoice that it is so, Easter means so much to the world, so much to humanity, so much to all the children of men for all time to come. May we not hope that this season which shows the great love of the Father to all his erring children, many bring the minds and hearts of all to know Him, who to know is life eternal. A CORRECTION In our last issue in the report of the session of the Baltimore Annual Conference, held last week in Washington, a statement was made that charges had been laid in the Committee on Judiciary against Rev. A. L. Gaines, pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, of this city. On inquiry, we find that our correspondent was misinformed and we hereby make the correction. No charges had been laid with that committee as stated. Ed. more vigorous competitive form of exercise should be designed for pupils of high school age. Gymnastics for the development of muscles alone has been put together with the educational theory of formal discipline and both, it is hoped, should go to stay. There have been objections and very intelligent objections from parties who subscribe to the theot as expressed in the popular ballad, "I did not raise my boy to be a soldier." Here these objections have been more than met when it is considered that the aim is not to make soldiers, but in the end strong virile men. Military training in the schools where it has been tried has not produced students who were eager for war, or who, with the attitude of a man with a chip on his shoulder, regarded their own rights above the rights of others; on the contrary it has made healthy, courageous, manly, citizens in every way credit to the training of the schools that graduated them. Whether we like it or not, we have to face this issue that the best soldiers make the best citizens. Military training seeks not only the training to be obtained by drill but additional qualities according to eneral John O'Ryan of the New York National Guards. Among them are: 1. Love of country, form of government, institutions, moral obligations of citizenship. 2. Respect for law and order, respect for superiors and elders, courtesy, restraint. 3. Knowledge of history. 4. Mental and physical alertness, punctuality, development of observation, mental retention, imitation. 5. Courage, moral, physical. 6. Standards of honor, truth-telling, square dealing. 7. Self-control, in deed, in language, physical bearing, manners. 8. Sense of responsibility, spirit of self-sacrifice, obligations of duty. 9. Community spirit, team play co-ordination of effort, cooperation under leadership. 10. Leadership, initiative, resourcefulness, boldness. 11. Health, hygiene, physiology, sanitation, first aid. If these qualities are worth inculcating, and we think they are, then surely public sentiment cannot afford to remain backward in the advocacy of drills in our High School. Considering what military training means in health, self-respect and courage, it can be easily seen why the present national congress regards, with disfavor the creation of new colored regiments for the regular army. If the Boy Scout Movement, which has taken such an enthusiastic hold upon the younger and older boys of the city, can be taken as an index of what is likely to happen in case military drills are established in the High School, unqualified success is assured from the beginning. NOTED TRIANGLE PHOTOPLAY AT THE CAREY A series of pictures that are being run in the large vaudeville theatres for an admission price from 25 cents to $2.00 will be shown at the Carey Theatre for 5 cents at Matinee and 10 cents at evening performances. These are powerful five and six reel productions of the famous Kay-Bee Company featuring such stars as William S. Hart, Dusten Forum, House Peters, Frank Keenan, Douglas Fairbanks and Shorty Hamilton. These noted pictures will be shown at the Carey Theatre starting Easter Monday and new productions being shown every Monday and Tuesday hereafter. The opening show is entitled "The Lamb" and its the finest example of War Plays in filmdom. Unlike the average picture these are not made up actors but real Mexican Militia, government cavalry, and Southwestern Indians. The Second Triangle show for Tuesday is entitled "The Iron Strain" a powerful Alaskan story in, six parts, featuring Dusten Forum also good Keystone comedy and others. Also the famous Keystone Comedies with such funny comedians as Ford Sterling, Raymond Hitchcock, Fatty Arbuckle, Chester Cocklin, Webster and Fields Eddie Foy and his seven little Foys. Owing to the fact that we are forced to change our admission to 10 cents a night for Mondays and Tuesdays we are going to reduce Fridays and Saturdays admission to 5 cents all day. All children under fifteen years of age will be admitted to all 16 cent performances for an admission of 5 cents. SPECIAL NOTICES The Educational Survey Bill containing a clause providing for a minimum school term of seven months for the colored schools of the State of Maryland has been passed by the Legislature and has been signed by Governor Harrington. The president of the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association and the Legislature Committee authorized by the December 1915 meeting of the Association were most active in behalf of the passage of the bill. In prosecuting their work certain legitimate expenditures had to be made. The response to the appeal for friends has not been met to the extent the executive committee had a right to expect taking into consideration the large number of teachers who will be benefited. We have been reliably informed that some teachers have contributed through their supervisor and we most respectfully request that if this he true the supervisor will send such contribution to the secretary of the Association, Mr. Jesse Nichols, Govans, Md., at the very earliest convenience. We also request that teachers who have not contributed anything will do so either through their supervisors or directly to the secretary. We are asking the small sum of fifty cents which will be credited to their annual dues. The following organizations have sent contributions: Baltimore Educational Association, $3.00 and the Baltimore County Teachers' Association, $3.00. We need at least fifty dollars to wipe out our entire indebtedness and we hope to have this in hand within the next two weeks in order that the Legislative Committee may close its accounts with the Association.

M., who escorted the body to the cemetery and performed their ritual. For the past 35 years he had charge of the stables of the Gen Felix Agnus estate, and was rated as one of the best judges of horse flesh in the state. Mr. Archer was also a trooper in the United States Army, serving through the Indian Company. He leaves to mourn their loss, a loving wife, two sons and two daughters, and a large circle of friends and relatives. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery in the family plot. PATRONIZE THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES HIS BUSINESS. GOOD NEWS TO ALL George Blackburn, of the Royal Scotish Guard writes from Artois, France. "The constant rear of guns and vigilance in the trenches so shattered my nerves that I grew weak and nervous. I sent for two bottles of STRENGTH & LIFE, a medicine I took before the war broke out. It was long in coming, but it came, and after I took it, my sight and vigor improved so much that I am now among the sharpshooters. That's a medicine sure enough."

Bertha Hurst is I think by birth a North Carolinian, but by adoption a first class Baltimore. Mrs. Hurst, when I first knew her was a well known seamstress. Her first introduction to public life was when she became the wife of the now Bishop Hurst, at that time Rev. Hurst connected with the Haitian Legation at Washington. When Rev. Hurst was appointed pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, Aisquith near Jefferson street. Mrs. Hurst went to work with a will and with her earnest, hearty support succeeded in making her husband one of the most popular pastors that Waters had ever known, and herself a popular pastor's wife. The Bishop owes much of his success to Mrs. Hurst. She is an indefatigable and tireless worker. Whatever she undertakes usually spells success. As wife of the Bishop of the Florida Conference and has helped make his work an unqualified success. In Florida she found the Mite Missionary work almost at a standstill and in many places no work at all, she has succeeded in giving it a start that is simply phenomenal, because in one Conference alone where the yearly reports seldom amount to more than two or three hundred dollars a year, they now report over eight hundred dollars a year. Mrs. Hurst is treasurer of the Parent Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, also of the Co-operative League of Baltimore. She is chairman of the Finance Committee of the Y. W. C.

She finds time to be a model house-keeper and a devoted wife and mother. A WIEE'S IMPERFECTONS I read in a daily paper the other day, where a New York Judge of the Supreme Court, has gone on record for not believing in human perfection and is not caring particular for a perfect human being, even if such a person could exist. When he decided a wife's imperfections are not reasons for a separation. When he asked the man. "What are your wife's imperfections?" He answered "Oh, everything in general." "She is tyranalical, quick tempered, liable to show her temper, embarrasses me frequently in public and holds me to strict accountability, when I go out." The judge said. "Well you are not perfect yourself; no human being is perfect." "A perfect human being would be an intolerable nuisance." "You should learn to bear and forbear with each other. Do you not think you could be reconciled to your wife." "Positively not" exclaimed the man. I'm certainly proud of that Judge. He certainly deserves a gold medal. The men go where they please, go when they please and come when they please,regardless of how much inconvenience they put a woman to. As long as they are catered to,every whim granted and every demand complied with, we are lovely wives and mothers; but when we develop a mind of our own and demand to be heard at times, our lords and masters declare we are unbearable. Like the Judge I say bear and forbear. Any man who complains in any such way, should be made to take off his shoes before he enters the house on a rainy day,made to mind the baby when it is teething, forbidden to drink beer with his meals—which he does not need anyway—and have all sorts of indignities heaped upon him. He does not stop to think how often he embarrasses her in public, or how strict an accountability he holds her to every time she ventures outside of her two-by-four domain. We need more judges like Justice Goff of New York's Supreme Court and less inconsiderate husbands and fathers who faced him. THEY BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING The colored merchants of Nashville, Tenn., have set a solitary example in cooperative advertising. The merchants participating in the Spring Trade Week campaign have purchased the entire back page of the Globe and this page carries the advertisements of these merchants together with a strong appeal to the colored people to take part in. ..NEWSY CLIPPINGS.. MEMORIAL NOTICES Mrs. C. J. Bolden, of Newport News, Virginia, has been appointed Health Inspector for the colored schools of that city. Mrs. Bolden is an experienced trained nurse. The colored merchants of Memphis, Tenn., are planning a "get-together" campaign somewhat similar to the campaigns recently conducted in Atlanta, Ga., and Nashville, Tenn. Mrs. Maria L.

The New Era Magazine has made it appearance. This magazine is published in Boston and its physical appearance and contents are both attractive. Miss Pauline E. Hopkins, formerly of the Colored American Magazine, is the editor. The New York Age is conducting a campaign of investigation in New York to ascertain the number and character of Negro business enterprises and to discover some method whereby the merchants may secure a larger portion of Negro patronage. The committee on recreation and amusement of the Social Service and Civic Improvement League of Wilmington, N. C., is securing a number of play-grounds for the colored children. They have purchased a coaster-slide, ocean-wave, merry-go-round and other amusements for the children. And now the cry of preparedness is not to keep us out of war with Europe, but to keep us out of war with Japan, when this latter country resents our interference with the policy in China. Nearly fifteen percent of men who have graduated from Harvard in the last fifty years have made sufficient success in life enough to get their names in "Who's Who." Forty percent of the first ten men in their classes are registered there. Here is an indication of a truth that is sometimes forgotten. School work is an index to what a man is likely to do in real life. Those who show themselves industrious, earnest and intelligent in school, are more than apt to exhibit the same qualities in their life's work and those who do not work themselves into the front ranks in the class room, are generally forced to occupy a rear seat in the larger class room of life. THE FORUM Expressions from our readers on topics of general interest are invited To the Editor of the Afro- American: The colored citizens of Washington are engaged in a strenuous fight, trying to prevent the exhibition of that photoplay that is so distasteful to the Negroes everywhere, known as the "Birth of a Nation." In a great mass meeting a few days ago, several prominent leaders of our race in this city denounced the play in language strong and bitter, after which six resolutions were adopted, two of which (the second and the last) are as follows: "Resolved. That we pledge ourselves to do everything in our power, consistent with law and order to prevent the public exhibition in Washington and the District of Columbia of that immoral, trouble-breeding and malicious moving picture play, the so-called 'Birth of a Nation;' and that we call upon all law abiding and peace loving citizens of all races in this city to join us in this effort to keep down hatred and ill-will and to safeguard life and property in the Capital of the Nation." "Resolved, finally, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the public press, and be published in pamphlet form and distributed to the Senators and Representatives of the United States and to the citizens of the District of Columbia; and that the good people of both races in this city be urged to work and pray night and day until that damnable and riot-producing photoplay, the so-called "Birth of a Nation," and all similar mischief-making and trouble-breeding exhibitions be forever barred from the theatres and other amusement places in the city." Several hundred copies of these resolutions were printed and distributed among both the white and colored races of our city.

An ideal and unique enterprise is the plan of the National Urban league to provide permanent employment for 500 colored families in the warehouses and tobacco plantations in and around Harrford, Conn. This work has heretofore been done by Poles, Italians and other foreigners. This spring there has been a serious shortage in this labor, and the growers have been persuaded to use Negroes if a reliable and dependable supply can be obtained. John T. Clark, the secretary of the industrial bureau of the National Urban league, has made four trips to Hartford and investigated thoroughly the entire situation, and it is upon his report that the league has decided to enter the campaign for the 500 families needed to supply the demand in Hartford. In addition to this venture the league has been requested to secure 2,000 workers for the harvesting season with the same corporation in Hartford. Agents will be sent throughout the southern schools to list the young men and women who desire work for the summer in Hartford, where they can find employment during the months of July and August in harvesting tobacco. Ample supervision will be given by the league to the housing, recreation and other living conditions of the people during the time they are employed. The wages offered are good, ranging from $1.75 to $3 per day. Daughters of Isis Hold Reception. The growth of Palestine temple, No. 9.
