The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXIV. NO. 36 THE AFRO-AMERICAN FOR DR. FRANCE Read Its Convincing Editorial of March 25th, Wherein Is Pointed Out With Clarity and Force His Undoubted Availability. Goldsborough's Claims Dissected. His Neglect Of the Colored Voters Pointed Out. Reasons Set Forth Why He Could Not Be' Elected If Nominated 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 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 fine 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 com- 9 merCIAL 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 re-enacted, to the end that the commercial life of these United States shall not be throttled by competition with the European nation. 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 a-sailed 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 demand of the times and finds unquestioned public response. HE CAN BE ELECTED. response. HE CAN BE Former Governor Goldsborough, on the other hand, presents his PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. record as Governor of Maryland and asks for the suffrage of the voter 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 hand during the four long years of his incumbency. He has refused to recognize this vote by appointment to public office of any of its members unless we except one or two laborers' job 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 State Senator. PROF. GREGORY'S LIFE EULOGIZED Prominent Speakers Pay Glowing Tribute to Life of Man Who Devoted His Life to Race Uplift Bordentown, N. J.—Memorial exercises in honor of the late James Monroe Gregory, founder and first president of the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, were held at that school on Friday afternoon, April 21. A large audience, representing all classes of the citizenry, assembled for the memorial, and an appropriate program was rendered. Col. D. Stewart Craven of Salem, chairman of the Bordentown school committee, delivered an address, as did George A. Douglass of Newark, Chris. J. Perry of Philadelphia, Wm. F. Powell of Camden, Alain Leroy Locke of Howard University, Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia with remarks by Mrs. Mary H. Locke, Col. T. D. Landon and Reuben Ross. A life-size portrait of Prof. Gregory was presented by the family to the school, Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, making the presentation. Musical numbers were given by the choir and the Girls' Glee Club. President Frelinghuysen, the presiding officer spoke in part as follows: We are gathered here today to pay tribute to one of New Jersey's citizens, who was the first principal and assisted in the founding of this Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth. In 1897 in the nearby city of Bordenton, Prof. Gregory began his work in a small way with nine students. He early saw the advantage of making the institution a part of the educational system of the State and one of his first acts was to have the school placed under the direct control of the State of New Jersey. The growth of the school soon demanded larger quarters and the State purchased the present location, formerly known as the Parnell Estate, at the cost of $15,000, on this commanding bluff overlooking the Delaware River. The institution immediately broadened its scope and increased its capacity. Here with his devoted and efficient wife, Professor Gregory labored for eighteen years for the benefit of his race, and good that he has done will long live after him in the memory of the men and women who have been benefitted by their education in this institution as well as those of today are responsible for its management. MORRIS BROWN COMMENCEMENT Nearly 3000 Persons Witness The Annual Exercises In Bethel Church. Trustees Raise Over $10,000 Atlanta, Ga., April 26.—The commencement exercises of Morris Brown University held in Bethel A. M. E. Church today attracted fully 2,500 people, many of them were unable to get inside of the church. The exercises were said to be the best in the history of the institution, and the report of President Fountain, made to the Board of Trustees showed that it had been the most successful year. While the exercises were set for 10 o'clock at 8:30 every available seat was occupied. The procession of the students from the college to the church, attracted much attention. At the head of the student body were President W. A. Fountain, and Bishop J.S. Flipper, then followed the members of the faculty, the trustees, the students and the graduating classes. "On account of our general conference next week", said President Fountain, "we are closing a month earlier. We appreciate this expression coming from the people, and here let me thank you for coming to us in such large numbers. "I am glad to say that we have been able to accomplish that for which we have been working for years, the establishment of a hospital in connection with our nurse training department. This is the work of our ministers, the work of our people. We are contributing to our own education and uplift as never before." The diplomas were presented by President Fountain, and an address was delivered by Bishop J. S. Flipper, who in the name of the trustees and faculty conferred degrees. The Rev. Dr. John A. Gregg, of Jacksonville, president of Edward Waters College, delivered the sermon, and the address to the literary societies was delivered by the Rev. Dr. B. W. Mance, of Charlestown, S. C. The most important material feature connected with the commencement was the meeting of the Trustee Board. In this meeting the interest of the Negro in his own education was shown by placing on the table $10,038.25. This amount had been collected by the ministers in the various charges and represented nickles and dimes and dollars from the Negroes of the state. Dr. Fountain's dream was realized Monday when the Continued on page 4 ...WARNING... To The Colored Voters of the City and State The belief that the opponents of former Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough, candidate for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate, will resort to trickery to offset the sentiment now existing for Mr. Goldsborough has caused the Goldsborough camp to send forth warning to its followers. And chief among these is a warning to the colored voters not to be misled by any "elventh-hour" literature they may receive in which the campaign of Mr. Goldsborough or his record is attacked. Mr. Goldsborough has appealed to the best thinking colored voters throughout the state. This has caused the supporters of Dr. France to resort to every known trick to coerce the colored vote because they realize they have fought a losing battle. As a part of this, it has been learned from an authorative source, that literature of a scurrilous nature and against Mr. Goldsborough will be circulated throughout the city on the eve of the primary. It may even be that advertisements may be placed in the papers in an effort to mislead the colored vote. In this connection it may be well for the colored voter to call into play his version of fair play and not take into consideration anything that is issued by the France people that we have no opportunity of answering. The fight of Mr. Goldsborough is won. All that is necessary for the former chief executive of the State to insure him being returned by the Republicans next Monday as their candidate for the United States Senate, is for the loyal and respectable element of the colored members of the party, who have pledged their support to him to remain steadfast to their ideals. There is a deal of sentiment for Theodore Roosevelt among the colored race. If for no other reason, the colored voters should not support Dr. France, because of the activities of the Republican City machine, that is backing him to stamp out any Roosevelt sentiment in Baltimore. Mr. Goldsborough in a recent speech declared that he was for any man who might be chosen by the Republican National convention and that he would support and uphold the hands of this man when he was elected President of the United States, however he might be. The Goldsborough delegates to the State Convention are their own masters. This committee has not attempted nor will it attempt to dictate, as to which of the Presidential possibilities they shall support. They are the voice of the people and as such, the wishes of the people in regard to a choice for a Republican President will be obeyed. In view of the attitude of Governor Goldsborough towards the colored race, in various matters for their advancement and welfare, he is the type of man who can best represent you and your interests in the highest legislative body in the world. And because of this it becomes your duty to give him such loyal support as will insure his election. Take no chances on a man of unknown tendencies and experience but go to the polls early on Monday and cast your vote for Phillips Lee Goldsborough, a man you all know. Published by authority of C. Wilbur Miller, treasurer. PRICE THREE CENTS Goldsborough Condemns Mob Violence Has Courage To Take A Positive Stand at the Conference Of Former Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina in the course of an address at the Governor's Conference at Boston in 1915, in advocating mob violence, said: *****That in the south an aroused mob is an outraged community which carries out the law, but brushes aside with mighty force the law's technicalities and delays.** ****When mobs are no longer possible, liberty will be dead.**** Phillips Lee Goldsborough, as Governor of Maryland, was a delegate to that convention, and immediately upon the conclusion of the address of Governor Blease, arose and said in part: "I come from a State that is the gateway to the southland. I cannot silently sit and permit te go unanswered the statement that when mob action is stopped liberty is dead. "That, the best element of the people of 'the southland' do not believe. That, is un-American, it is ir-religious and it is un-Christ-like. IF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BE WRONG HOW MUCH MORE SO IS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AT THE HAND OF A MOB—TO WIT, LYNCHING. EVEN A CRIMINAL HAS SOME RIGHTS WHICH CANNOT BE FORFEITED. EVERY PERSON WHO IS ACCUSED OF CRIME IS GUARANTEED A FAIR TRIAL AND HE CANNOT BE DEPRIVED OF LIFE OR LIBERTY WITHOUT M. H. DUE PROCESS OF LAW. THE FAITH OF THE BODY POLITICS PLEDGED TO MAKE GOOD THE CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES TO THE INDIVIDUAL. IF A LARGE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE OF ANY COUNTY BECOME IMBUED WITH THE LYNCHING SPIRIT, OR NEGLIENT OR INDIFFERENT TO THE DUE AND ORDERLY ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW, SO THAT LAWLESS MEN MAY ACT WITH IMPUNITY THEN THERE IS A COURSE FOR THE STATE TO TAKE OTHER THAN TO INTERVENE AND DIRECTLY PROTECT THE INDIVIDUAL, AS WELL AS TO ENFORCE UPON THE COMMUNITY THE OBSERVANCE OF GOOD ORDER." A man of the Goldsborough type is needed to represent Maryland in the United States Senate. He can safe-guard your interests. Published by Authority of C. Wilbur Miller, Treasurer. COL. MIDNIGHT IN FLORIDA Witnessed A Big Fire at The State College And Meeting Many Prominent People Of The State Jacksonville, Fla.—When I wrote to you last week I was in Orangeburg, S. C., and stopping at the State School I referred to a death there, but I did not tell you anything about a big fire they had there, and I waited for this week, when I could say more about it. I want to first of all congratulate Prof. Robert S. Wilkinson, and his good wife for having made so many friends. He is without a doubt one of the big men of our race. It must be an awful thing to be aroused in the night, when you are resting, by fire creeping in on you ready to consume your body. Well this is what happened to the girls at the State College a few weeks ago, and for just a little many would have been dead, and only ashes left to tell the story. But God was there and saved the girls with 42 being injured, but I am glad to say that none of them seriously. This college has grown under President Wilkinson to be one of the largest in the country. There were in the building about 300 girls at the time the fire broke out, and only by the cracking of the fire that a girl was awakened and her screams caused the others to jump. The steps were on fire and that way of escape was cut off and there was nothing to do for them but to jump. They were panic stricken as you would have been no doubt. For safety they jumped, and resulted in the number I have mentioned being hurt, and one of the teachers had her ribs fractured and both legs were broken. This is one case where race prejudice was laid aside and white men rushed to the aid of the young people, by the side of colored men, and the white physicians worked by the side of the colored physicians in trying to aid those who had been hurt. The residence of the president was turned into a temporary hospital. I am glad to report to you that none will die, and most of the girls have already returned to their school work. The building will be replaced by two modern brick structures, and every possible precaution will be taken by the builders to see to it that everything is in readiness for the girls next fall. But I must not fail to tell the readers that Claflin College, which is next door and one of the schools of the Freedman's Aid Society, rushed to the girls and furnished those who were without clothes, clothes, and also furnished them shelter and will continue to do so until the close of school. No time was thereby lost and the school is going right on with its work. To all it was gratifying to see how fortunate they were. I had the pleasure of meeting many people in South Carolina. I made a flying trip to Orangeburg, then from there to Charleston, where I spent a day, and the next day at the home of the late Robert Smalls. I like to think of him and what he has accomplished. Born a slave, he owned the big house where he served as a slave, and the place where he was born, and lived in the big house when he died, and it is now occupied by his daughter, Mrs. Williams. Wonderful progress this race has made. Of course Mr. Smalls was not an educated man, but he was a man with brains and used them for good of his people. The history of the country will not be complete without his name. Beaufort, S. C., is an island, and an important one, and you will be pleased to know that Mr. Small was collector of port for a number of years, and the man who served under him as deputy is living today. Our people own some good property in town. They have been able to make the world sit up and take notice. It will be of interest to you to know that way back years ago, the fathers purchased a block of land for a school and had it so recorded, and now it is in one of the most prominent parts of the city, and just a most street from the white school. I need not tell you that there is a difference in the buildings, but the county will only erect a building when the members of my race turns the property over to them, and then let them direct everything. This perhaps would mean a new site as well as a new building. Our people are holding on to the property. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the leading men and women of the place, including the teachers of the two schools there, Rev. D. W. Bythewoot, of the Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Covt of Wm. H. Harrison. secretary. ankle. is improving. the A. M. E. Church, Dr. C. S. Simpson and Dr. N. J. Kennedy, two physicians. While there I was sick and Dr. Simpson came to my rescue. He examined me, fixed up the medicine and said he would keep me out of heaven just a little longer. It is so strange how we work to stay out of heaven, yet we talk about it so much. The doctor told me that I would have to stop and give up for a while and get well, or I would be forced to stop and give up forever. Old age is telling on me, and I will soon have another birthday. Next month will bring me face to face with the closing out of another year and the opening of a new one. I hope to see this one, and may tell you about my birthday. I quit telling this a long time ago. You know I have been here my time, because I was in the war, but then I am still here looking after the young people. I have been to so many colleges as I told you, and you will remember that the other letter was from Voorhees Industrial College, and this week I am in Jacksonville, at the Florida Baptist College Prof. N., W. Collier has been my main nurse, and he has helped to get me so I will start out today for Atlanta, Ga. This will be done just as soon as I get through with my lecture to men only. The Baptists are certainly getting ready in Savannah for a big time next September. They have organized for work, and they are working. They declare that they will give the National Baptist Convention the best time it has ever had. I hope this will be done, for it will be a great big thing to do this. I want to be there myself. I notice that the executive Board has been called to meet in Memphis in June during the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress and transact such business as may come properly before it including the making of a program. I had a letter from Secretary Hudson inviting me to be present, but I will have to be in Texas that week and will not be able to be there. I am sorry. I had the pleasure of looking into the face of Rev. Goodall, Rev. W. Boliver Davis, but did not get to see Prof. Prof. R. R. Wright. Politics had warmed up, and Col. Sol. Johnson, of the Tribune was into it over his head. Now next week I will be at the meeting of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadephia. Things have moved along well, and now all the people are ready for the vote. Dr. W. A. Fountain will be on hand to be voted for and then there will be Dr. I. N. Ross, of Baltimore; Rev. A. J. Carey, of Chicago; Dr. A. H. Hill, of Little Rock, Ark.; S. P. Felder of Mound Bayou, Miss., Charles E. Brooks, of Covington, La., for financial secretary. Of course Dr. B. F. Watson will be retained in his position of Church Extension secretary. This place he has won, and he has made it a study for life. It is easy for him to look into the business of his department, and this he is doing. Rev. G. W. Allen has made a good editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, and should be retained. By no means should Dr. J. C. Caldwell, one of the strongest young men be left out. If they are going to make Bishops he should be one of them, and if not them let him remain with the young people. I think I have said enough for this week. I am not through saying. REV. J. G. MARTIN HONORED Rev. James G. Martin, pastor of Payne Memorial M. E. Church was sent to conference with a full and excellent report and with a glad heart. Never had there been such an appreciation shown among the members and friends by their very large attendents together with many visiting pastors who all joined in to make the evening a very pleasant one. Presentations were made by organizations of the church: the Church Aid, Stewardesses, Friends and Members, the El Charons Association composed of the following young ladies: Edith Wilson, Alma Thomas, Marion Waters, Helen Brown, Mamie Wescott, Bertha Lacato, Annie Moore, Irene Johnson, Minnie Gassaway, Laura Gilles, Hattie McNeal, Grace Payne, Mamie Pynes, Helen Grayson, Eudora Johnson, Eloise Pinder, Ella R. Brown, who presented a handsome gold watch. A well filled purse was presented by the members and friends. Many other useful and costly presents were presented, to which the pastor responded expressing his very kind appreciation for their great demonstration of harmony and friendship that prevailed. The church is also very grateful to the bishop for the return of their pastor for another year. THE AFRO-AMERICAN Signal Honor For REV. I N. Who has been chosen one of the four s Demonstration during the A. M. THE REV. JOHN A. BROWN Who has been chosen one of the four speakers to address the great Centennial Demonstration during the A. M. E. General Conference on May 7th TO PROMOTE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 27. In their desire to make the National Negro Business League an organization of direct service to its members and to the race in general, the officers and members of the executive committee through the cooperation of a friend of Tuskegee Institute and of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, have decided to send an experienced advertising man into various communities as its representative to organize new local Negro Business Leagues, revive local leagues which have become inactive and to help local leagues outline a definite, constructive program for extending the trade of race enterprises through standardized advertising and merchandising methods. Beginning May 1st, Mr. Albon L. Holsey, who has attained considerable experience as an advertisement writer and all-round advertising man, will begin a whirlwind campaign under the auspices of the National League, covering the South and Southwest. For nearly two years, Mr Holsey has been closely associated with Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and also secretary of the National Negro Business League, with whom he has worked as an assistant in the Business League work. He is, therefore, thoroughly conversant with the league's activities. The itinerary which has been outlined includes visits to important cities in South Georgia, North Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Southern Illinois and Indiana, Western Kentucky and concludes at Kansas City, Missouri, August 16, when the annual session of the Nationl Negro Business League begins. CONVENTION APPROPRIATIONS ILLEGAL Philadelphia, April 28 — City Solicitor Connelly has declared that appropriations totaling $45,000 for conventions are illegal, advising Comptroller Walton not to sign warrants for the same. The A. M. E. Church whose General, Conference begins here next week, will lose $2,500 by the opinion. The members of Bethel A. M. E. Church elected the following trustees Monday night. Theodore White, John H. Murphy, James E. Dougherty, William E. Westcott, Dr. J. H. Tompkins, W. H. Farrell, George Palmer and Harry Johnson. Mr. White has been a trustee for the past twenty years, and is now treasurer. Mr. J. Robert Bishop,525 Mosher street left on Monday for Saratoga where he will take charge of the United States Hotel as head hallman. Mrs. Rishop will accompany him, where she expects to be in attendance to the M. E. General Conference which convenes there in May. Mr. Edward Jenkins, of 918 Warner street who fractured his ankle is improving. Prominent Pastor ROSS, D. D. speakers to address the great Centennial E. General Conference on May 7th MAJOR MOTON'S NEW FIELD. Problems Which Await Washington's Sempervivum. Successor as Leader at Tuskegee. The Virginia Journal of Education in speaking of Major Robert R. Moton, who will be installed as principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute at the commencement exercises to be held at the institute in May, says editorially; Distinguished honors have come to Hampton. She not only educated Booker Washington and through him made Tuskegee possible, but she has now trained and supplied his successor. Major Moton has no easy job ahead of him. His responsibilities will far exceed his honors. Even if he shall equal Washington in the grasp of today's problems he will yet have to deal with the more acute ones of to morrow. Until this day is reached and passed no final judgment as to the value of Washington's great venture can be predicated. History must reverse it self and the tragic story of the race be rewritten if the day is to be passed in safety. In the arena of commercial rivalry no quarter is given the weak and especially where race instincts are acute and race prejudices exist. Herefore the fairest attributes of humanity have failed utterly to soften the shock of collision and to ameliorate the sad fate of the defeated. This, then, is the task ahead of Major Moton and his colaborers. It is one requiring a prophetic eye, a consecrated heart and a just conception of human nature, its capacities and its limitations. In these days of preparation for the final contest the Journalists the leaders of Hampton and of Tuskegee an earnest godspet. It sincerely hopes that history will reverse itself and that through the force of proper race adjustment and the finer equities of an advancing civilization the trained forces of both races may meet in happy accord and in abundant prosperity. SOUTH TIRES OF MOB LAW New Organization Formed to Conduct Campaign Against Lynching. An organization to be known as the New Association of Southern Church Colleges has been formed in Alabama for the purpose of conducting an educational campaign against lynching in the south. The association is composed of eighteen southern institutions of learning, and its president is Dr. C. M Bishop of the Texas Presbyterian college. Forty southern schools have signified their desire to aid in carrying on the purpose of the new association. This is a move in the right direction, which will accomplish great good. No doubt the south feels very keenly the disgrace heaped upon it by the practice of the mobs, which take away the lives of human beings whether guilty or innocent. 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. Maltida Evans of the above named institution bears 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. Mrs. J. Frank Bryan, of 102 Carroll street, who recently underwent a successful operation, is improving. THE IDEAL DENTAL PARLORS N.W. Cor. Penna.

BALTIMORE, APRIL 29, 1916 The Howard University on scholarship in the college finds out that more young women than young men are represented on the roll of honor. Altho twenty-five percent of the college are young women, this one fourth contributes sixty percent of the number of honor students. In general scholarship as well the all women's average is eight percent higher than that of the all men's average. The three fraternities are below the two sorotities. All in all the average girl is a better student than the average man. Apologists for this state of affairs according to the committee remark that many men work their way thru school, that the attitude of the women in general is more serious, and that athletics and debating, extra curriculum activities depend upon young men for maintenance. Clearly these are apologies and nothing more. They certainly are not reasons of justification. Either the faculty is lax in its requirements or the students are taking unworthy advantage of them, and the committee is justified in conducting investigations that will lead to more rigid requirements. INSULT TO PRESIDENT WILSON? When Mr. William Monroe Trotter used some very plain language to the President a year ago the press of the country heralded the fact that a colored man had insulted the President. The Philadelphia North American publishes an account of a conference between the chief executive and members of the House and Senate Foreign Committees, in which President Witson received far rougher treatment than at the hands of Mr. Trotter. Very few of the dailies featured the story at all. Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate Committee had assured the members of the Senate that he had the President's word that nothing would be done, which might precipitate war between this country and Germany without consulting congress first. At the beginning of the meeting called by the President, in order to say to the committees what he later said] to both houses of Congress in joint session, Mr. Stone was stunned to hear that the note to Germany had already been forwarded without any consultation. As the President talked Senator Stone occasionally looked, at his watch. When the hour for the appointment to close arrived, without waiting for the President to conclude or dismiss his guests, Senator Stone sprang from his chair, pulled out his watch and said: "Well Mr. President, the time is up. Have you got anything more to say?" The President looked astonished "Senator," he said slowly, "you Members of the national House of Representatives who are anxious to conclude the present session as soon as can be done consistent with the adequate transaction of public business, were set back in their calculations on last Monday by a discussion of a bill to reorganize a Juvenile Court in the District of Columbia. Speaker Clark was forced to get into the fray and advise that the matter be speedily dispatched unless they wanted to remain in session until the frost came, that the House had wasted three mortal hours on a question that was absolutely immaterial, the race question, and finally that some of the speeches on both sides were made for political effect—home consumption. In the beginning of the discussion the arguments were upon the merits of the bill itself as a means of saving the children. Heretofore the convictions in the juvenile court in the District were criminal convictions, branded the child as a criminal, and destroyed his political, social and civil rights. The bill before the House aimed to correct this evil by taking this brand from the children and treating them as delinquents and wards of the state. Under the old law children received the same punishment as adults for crimes committed, but it has long been felt that children are not adults, and the law should treat them separately, and should not prosecute them and convict them of crimes, the stain of which is to follow and wreck any desire to regain citizenship. By committing them to public institutions for delinquents, good citizens can be made instead of criminals. Representative Howard of Georgia opposed the passage of the bill because no mention was made of the separate handling of the white and colored children, and as further objection, stated his intention to sit until "the ants dragged him out" before he would vote for a, bill exempting "17 year old nigger bucks from prosecution for criminal prosecution." Altho it was not germane to the discussion, Representative Howard issued a sweeping indictment of the educational institutions in the District of Columbia, in which he condemned the large expenditure of money upon "certain lines of education inaugurated by a crowd of fanatics. What you want here as elsewhere, is to teach Negroes and white folks to work with their hands as well as their heads." Representative Towner of Iowa construed the remarks of the Georgian to mean that he did not believe in the education of the Negro. the same education for all Americans, and precipitated the two hour discussion of the race question which Republican Leader Mann regarded as a mild filibuster, and which speaker Clark, who had temporarily relinquished the chair, termed a "hullabaloo," advising the members to stick to business, and let the question be worked out where it must be worked out in the individual states. In those two hours of discussion, however, able champions of the belief in equal opportunity for the colored man showed themselves worthy of the highest appreciation. If John Lynch himself had been reincarnated for the ocassion, he would have been proud of the sentiment of the whole House and especially of the strong stirring words of Mr. Madden of Illinois, Mr. Towner of Iowa, Mr. Fess of Ohio, Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin, by means of which two amendments to the bill by southern representatives, designed to make special provision for the white and colored delinquents were defeated and the original bill passed by the House. The first amendment to the bill offered by Mr. Clark of Florida was in the form of a new section to be added at the end of the bill: "That in the administration of this act the white and Negro children shall be kept entirely separate, and under no condition shall they be sent to or kept in the same institution, and that no probation officer shall be ap- look as serious as I feel." "And I feel a damn sight more serious than I look," snapped the senator as he turned and strode from the room. The other members of the party followed. Mrs. Serena Edmonds of Washington, spent Sunday in this city visiting friends. She was accompanied by her cousin Miss Mary Warrington and the Misses Gracia and Susie King. pointed to deal with or in any wise look after any child of a different race than that of which such probation officer is a member." Representative Tinkam of Massachusetts, who fathered the juvenile court bill reminded Mr. Clark that he was not on the soil of Florida and legislating for it, not upon a territory the inhabitants of which believe in states' rights, proscriptions of race or creed, or upon territory which denies the equality of man irrespective of race or religion. To the contrary the soil was national and the legislation should represent national and not sectional ideals. Mr. Tinkam further reminded the Southerner: If you adopt the amendment and segregate by law the Negro and the white, you will do upon national soil what the Constitution in its spirit said in 1864 said should never be done again by the National Government; you would be making law for national territory which is unnecessary, uncalled for, and offensive to a majority, perhaps to at least two-thirds of the states of this Union, to whom belongs this national territory, the District of Columbia, and I sincerely trust that this Congress in 1916, so many years after the national question involved in this amendment was decisively and forever settled, will not plunge back into medievalism and proscribe and needlessly offend a race which is as truly American and entitled to every American consideration in law under the constitution as any man who sits upon this floor or whoever has sat upon this floor or whoever will sit upon this floor." Mr. Madden, of Illinois, termed it an outrage to propose such a measure and reproached the southern wing of the House for regarding the colored population as good enough to count as a part of people giving the men from the south representation in congress, but not good enough to have the right to vote or speak, and no one of the South to speak for them. He continued: "Educate them, treat them decantly, give them as much consideration as you would the Filipino, to whom you propose to grant self-government, while at the same time objecting to the constitutional rights of the Negroes who live within our midst and were born here." An objection by representative Tilson that the amendment as offered would require an officer not only for colored and white, but in addition for yellow and red and brown races led to the introduction of a second amendment including the words white and colored only. Mr. Clark's appeal for the adoption of his amendment in its final form is characteristic of the southern attitude: "If this bill passes as it is we are going to behold the spectacle in the Capital City of this Nation of White girls and Negro boys being housed together in the same reform institution. . . . If the races in this country are to get along in peace and harmony under that flag they must be kept separate. There is no other way to do it and it acts the same in one part of the United States as it does in the other. I am appealing now for the adoption of this amendment in order to treat those Negro children right, to take care of them, and take care of them separately from the others, which will have to be done if you want peace in this country as between the two races." The amendment was rejected by a vote of 58 to 63, and upon motion to recommit was lost by a vote of 112 to 197. We agree with representative Madden that it is an outrage that such a debate could arise in our national body, and that jim crow legislation could so nearly result; on the other hand it is encouraging that the sense of national ideals of justice and liberty are not quite dead, and that there are men who believe in the full and unreserved citizenship of the Negro. At the annual meeting of the Colored Business Men's Association held at their building on Thursday night the following officers were elected: Wm. H. Dodd, president; Samuel L. Burton, vice president; J. M. Freeland, secretary; H. R. Williams, assistant secretary; W. L. Fitzgerald, corresponding secretary; J. H. Mitchell, treasurer. Mr. J. Howell Howard, our agent at Cooksville, Md., is confined to his home by illness this week. Strenuous Davs of Campaigning For Senatorial Toga Drawing To A Close One of the most interesting and spectacular campaigns in the history of the Republicans comes to an end tonight with Dr. Joseph I. France and Phillips Lee Goldsborough as the candidates for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. The primary election takes place Monday and is of far reaching importance, coming on the eve of an election, which many believe, will usher in a Republican President and who will need a Republican congress to back him up. Dr. France has visted all parts of the State in the interest of his candidacy, and as a rule, while he has not been in the public eye as his competitor, former Governor Philips Lee Goldsborough, has made a deep and lasting impression on all who have heard him. He has the support of former Senator William H. Jackson, and the Republican organization, which he has brought to his support. He has also the backing of many influential Republicans outside of the organization, and many well known Independents, as well as a large number of Progressives. Mr. Goldsborough, like his opponent, has visited every section of the State, and his friends are claiming his election as being sure. While there are a number of colored voters supporting Mr. Goldsborough, as many if not more of them are supporting Mr. France. Mr. Goldsborough has a large following and they can be depended upon to land him in the nomination. He has the advantage of Dr. France in that he is an old campaigner, and knows the "ropes." According to close observers, Dr. France will carry a majority of the Eastern "Sho" largely through the influence of William P. Jackson. He has more than a fighting chance in the city, while Western Maryland, it is expected will throw a number of delegates into his basket. In Southern Maryland the vote may be close and may favor Mr. Goldsborough, because they have not had the opportunity of knowing Dr. France as well as they know Mr. Goldsborough. Congressman Mudd is leading the fight for Dr. France. One of the interesting situations is that Jeremiah Hawkins, of Prince George county is a candidate for delegate to the National Convention, and he is also supporting Mr. Goldsborough, and it is thought he will carry a large portion of the colored votes with him over to the Goldsborough side. He has the active support of William N. Fisher, a member of the last House of Delegates, and the father of the law giving colored teachers a minimum salary of $35 a month. With all this Dr. France has a fighting chance in this county, as well as in Charles and St. Mary's. The fight in the city has been an energetic one on both sides among the colored as well as the white voters. The France side is being supported by Warner T. McGuinn, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Harry S. Cummings, Rev. W. M. Alexander, Capt. Edward M. Wilson, Capt. George W. Brown, Dr. A.L. Gaines John P. Forrester and J. W. Armstrong. The Goldsborough side has as it aids, Alexander Williams, Rev. James H. Roberson, Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, Raymond Wheatley, Walter S. Emerson, J. Edward Smith, John W. Hawkins and Lewis E. Williams. One of the developments of the campaign shows that there is much Roosevelt sentiment in Maryland. Daniel W. Richardson, is said to be the first one on either ticket to declare for him, others have followed. UPHOLDS PRESIDENT WILSON'S VIEWS President Wilson's views that the Phillipine Islands should be granted independence within the next four years were upheld by the Morgan College Preparatory Debating Team in its annual contest against the Colored High School Thursday night, at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church. The winning team was composed of Louis King, Everett Lane and Oregon Lewis, while Howard Hucles Calvin Lecompte and Maceo Williams looked after the interests of the High School. Revs. L. Z. Johnson, A. J. C. Randall and J. R. L. Diggs were the judges. "Mrs. V. Redman spent the Easter holidays in Atlantic City at Ridley Hotel. Read the "AFRO" A testimonial consisting of a handsome purse containing $25 was presented Miss M. Elythe Cooper, at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church. Tuesday evening of this week. The occasion was in recognition of Miss Cooper's being the first woman lay delegate elected to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church by the Washington Conference of the M. E. Church. The testimonial was an expression of the women of Baltimore, regardless of denomination, for the signal honor which had come to them through the election of Miss Cooper to this high and honorable position. Miss Ida R. Cummings was the moving spirit and it was largely through her efforts that the testimonial was the success it was. Miss Cummings who presided, is the vice president-at-large of the Laymen's Association. The invocation was by Rev. R.W.S. Thomas. Among those who took part in the exercises were: Dr. D. W. Hayes, Mrs. E. J. Truxon, Rev.' R. M. Holt, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. W. A. McGuinn, Miss Emma Bright, Prof. J. H. Lockerman, Mrs. M. J. Camper, Mrs. M. E. Jones, Dr. J. O. Spencer, Mr. Elmer Henderson, Mr. Charles Stewart, Dr. W. W. Lucas; Rev. S. R. Hughes, A. J Mitchell, N. M. Carroll, J. E. Curry, M. W. Clair, W. N. Holt. Messrs. George Atkinson, James H. Harris and Charles P. Ford. Mrs. H. C. Dean, Mrs. Estelle Young, and Mrs. M. E. Jones. Miss Cooper in a neat speech thanked the assembled guests for the beautiful token of appreciation, and in turn promised to do all in her power to safeguard their interests. DR. J. N.

Dr. Ross is a prominent candidate for the bishopric if the General Conference should decide to elect any new bishops. His election for this particular occasion at this opportune time shows how well his standing is among his brethren. THIRD ANNIVERSARY The Troleda Circle of East Baltimore held their third annual anniversary reception at the Silver Spring Social's club house on Monday night, April 24, at which time all those present including representatives from the Tea Rose Social, Doctors' Coachmans' Association and the Silver Spring Social enjoyed themselves until the early morning with the good things that the table was stocked with the table and decorations under the direction of Mrs. Kate Lomax was beautiful. The officers of the Circle are: President, Miss India A. Peoples; vice president, Rachel Henry; financial secretary, Bertha Williams; recording secretary, Minnie Easley; assistant secretary, John H. Fergerson; chaplain, Cora Overton; treasurer, Kate Lomax; instructor, George W. Woolford; lodge-atarms, Hattie Lee. MORRIS BROWN COMMENCEMENT Continued from page 1 merging of the "Nurse Training Department" into the Fair Haven Hospital was completed with appropriate exercises and addresses by prominent men. Dr. W. B. Summerall, superintendent of the Grady Hospital was the principal speaker. This is the only institution in the city where Negro physicians can go with their patients. They could treat them at their homes, but when it came to the hospital, they could only follow them to the door and turn them over to the white physician. The delegates will leave Monday morning for General Conference, Philadelphia. Dr. John Harmon, who is mentioned and indorsed for the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder, will accompany them. The Abraham Lincoln Beneficial Association was founded by Mr. Louis Resneck, a Hebrew, at 329 West German street, on January 29, 1916. It has the following colored officers: G. H. Decoursey, president; Jos. Johnson, vice president; Samuel Ray, financial secretary; John Bond, recorder; Louis Resnick, treasurer; John Jordon, sergeant-at-arms; Charles Johnson, chaplain; George Freeman, assistant and M. G. Milbourne, Counselor. Meets at Towson Hall every Wednesday night. A Grand Raffle will be held for five dollars ($5.00) gold piece on Wednesday evening, May 10th, at their hall, St. Mary street and Pennsylvania avenue, for the benefit of the Association. Tickets can be purchased from members. The Association was incorporated on March 26, with the officers as board of directors: G. H. Decoursey, Joshua Johnson, John Ray, Louis Gross, George Hooper and Samuel Richardson. THE ROAD SCOUTS The Road Scouts, a hiking organization of Washington, composed of local boys and students of Howard University made their annual hike to Baltimore Thursday night, April 20, 1916. They left Washington at 1 o'clock and arrived in Baltimore 9:15 Friday morning, stopping 46 minutes for breakfast making the walking time 7 hours and 39 minutes beating the record of last year which was 7 hours and 57 minutes. The first stop made was on the other side of Laurel which is 20 miles from here, after eating breakfast the hike was resumed until they reached Baltimore. Local athletic followers have been interested for several days in a report that Roy Morse, national 220 yard champion and 100 yard junior national title holder, would run for the Millrose A. A. at the expiration of this year of competing unattached. Morse has been working for several weeks for the firm whose employees make up the Millrose A. A. Officials of the Millrose club deny that Morse will wear their colors, but has been registered for several weeks as unattached. When he won at the national championships in San Francisco last year he competed for the Salem-crescent A. C., a colored organization of this city. Morse at one time ran under the Winged First emblem of the Irish-American A. C. The Lincoln Quintet ended the best season of its career by defeating the Vandals of Atlantic City 22 to 20 and the Cardinal Hiawathas of Washington 32 to 16. Both of these teams rank among the best on the country. The Quintet has been successful both financially and athletically, due to no small degree to the efficient management of E. A. James. The team was, on a whole, good. Butler, the Baltimore lad, should and will make good if his past condition signifies anything. BASEBALL The team with Capt. Ogburn and Manager Muir is down South to play 9 games. Thus far 4 games have been won and 1 lost. Bad weather preventing practice handicapped the team greatly. Coach Grim deserves much credit for his work. FOOT BALL Manager Hill has a campaign on hand to raise money to liquidate the athletic debt before another game may be scheduled. No game, ruled the faculty, may be scheduled unless the deficit is covered. The alumnae of Atlantic City and Philadelphia have pledged their aid—New York is expected to follow. What shall Baltimore do? Hill, the manager is a Baltimore, rally around him and untie his hands. The Mt. Winans U. C. would like to arrange games on Saturdays or holidays with any teams in the city or state. Address HENRY BLACKBURN, Mt. Winans, Baltimore Co., Md. The male members of the Teachers Training School have organized Wanderlust Club. On Friday, April 21st, the club walked to Ellicott City and back to Catonsville on its first hike. The members of the club are making plans for other long hikes before the end of the school year. The members of the club are John W. Armstead, W. Deaver Boston, Benjamin Grant, F. Hughlett, Walter T. Webb, Joseph Queen, Morrison Davage, Harry Hunt, Howard Carter, Otha Keys. The Morgan College Track Team has been selected as follows: Isaac C. Bannister, Milton Brown, Lueian Ayers, R.

GOOD NEWS TO ALL George Blackburn, of the Royal Scotish Guard writes from Artois, France. "The constant roar 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."

Hill Street 826 Drudid Hill AVE A WORK-A-DAY GIRL Annie is just a little work-a-day girl of a work-a-day world, who like many more eighteen year old work-a-day girls is in continued revolt against Mrs. Grundy the arbiter of her social liberty. "Everything is so hampered with rules and we must do so many things we don't want to do" said Annie. Annie's mother is a perfect dear. Always interested in everything and nice to everybody. But Annie says her mother is "a prig" because she objects to her late hours and her company of which she knows little. "My dear" said I, "If I had such a sweet mother, I'd be very proud. She only tells you these things for your own good." "I am not going to regulate my conduct by what people say," said Annie. "I wouldn't ask you to do that my dear", said I, "if you heed everything people say or listen to everybody's criticism, you would become to self-conscious. You must let your self-respect be your guide." "Well I don't care" said Annie, "I don't see any harm in going from the office to a restaurant for lunch, then to the theatre or a dance with a dinner afterwards. Mr. Ward is good to me and wants me to have a good time. I don't see why he or any one else should respect me less for doing it." "First of all my dear Annie, your so-called friend is not only your employer but a married man, and it is—more to his shame—only pastime with him. Do you think he would call at your home for you? No! He would not care for anyone he knows to see him with you. He doesn't want his wife to know. A married man who spends his evenings in showing young girls a pleasant time, is using her as a means to an end that bodes no good to the girl. He is both a coward and a cad. Does he ever take you to the theatre, cafe or dance where you are both known?" "Well it is just for fun", said Annie. "Yes, my dear girl", said I, "You'll find it dearly bought fun, if continued. You'll be shunned by those you love best." "But I have slow insipid people," said she. "You mean good people" said I. "No your goody-goody people who are always shocked at what you say and think everything you do is a crime." "Think Annie, suppose you were Mr. Ward's wife, do you think it would be pleasant to be called up over the phone and hear your husband say "My dear, I have some business at the office, and can't get away until late, so don't wait dinner for me." "Would you want to sit down to lonely meal all by yourself and nine times out of ten spend a long lonesome evening waiting for your husband to come home and then when you fall asleep from sheer weariness have him come home between one and three in the morning and scold you for waiting up for him. True she does not know he has spent the evening in some other woman's company, but do you think she'll always remain ignorant of what will eventually become known to Mrs. Grundy." "Mrs. Grundy is no respecter of persons, and if we observe her rules we'll be the gainer in the long run. Its the good and lovable girl who gets the rewards and wins long holidays and life is just the same thing all thru. If we obey the rules we win the rewards." "There is a social code my dear we are all bound to obey. If we were not restrained a good bit by public opinion, I'm afraid that sometimes we would find we had no conscience, or that it was asleep and we would feel the effects more than once of our own lax morals and manners." "WAIT little girl for your pleasures and good times until you meet the man who is not afraid to call at your home, and who'll respect your mother's wishes that you come home early. The man who'll treat you with difference and respect, and be glad to do anything in the whole wide-wide world you think right. He won't resent your mother's interference if he cares. He will like you just so much more for your love of mother and home. OBSERVED IN PASSING By Mrs. Robert H. King "There is nothing so kindly as kindness." —Alice Cary. It was the day set apart for the Farmers' Conference at Princess Anne Academy. A large number of people had already assembled, and yet they came, some afoot, some in horse-drawn vehicles, some on bicycles some in automobiles, in auto-buses and every conceivable kind of conveyance. As one scanned the beautiful grounds, the attractive buildings, the bright flowers, and the great throng of people, the scene presented a moving picture in reality, with a charming background. In all gatherings such as this there are some who are present for the first time. Between the morning and afternoon sessions, a matron who in her girlhood days was a student at the Academy, but now the wife of a noted minister of the Delaware M. E. Conference, approached one of the strangers, and extended her an invitation to be one of her party, to visit the buildings and view the exhibits. The invitation was accepted. Here and there went the matron, noting the improvements, speaking of the uses of the different exhibits proving herself a delightful guide. While passing to and fro she recognized and was greeted by many of her old friends and acquaintance. Later however, she met and spoke to two of her former acquaintances, but they did not so readily remember her. After she had refreshed their memories, one of them exclaimed, "Why, of course I know you. you are just like your dear, sweet mother." The stranger had by this time met some friends, and the matron passed on to scatter more sunshine. passed on to scatter more sunshine. Two sisters one evening last summer, were walking west on Montgomery street, Baltimore, Md., and just as they were passing Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, and parsonage, Rev. I. N. Ross, the pastor withdrew from a group of persons with whom he had been conversing, came forward removed his hat, extended his hand, and said in such a pleasant manner "My children, how are you?" After the exchange of greetings, and the sisters had resumed their walk, one remarked to the other, "How pleasant he is to stranger for a man of his position." Little things, yes: but worthy of mention. TO THE READERS Dear friends, the editress of this column hasn't the least objection in the world to publishing matter sent her for publication, but she does object to soiled manuscript.

In the graveyard sweetly sleeping In her narrow casket bed Lies our kind and loving Vera With the calm and peaceful dead.

In sad remembrance of our dear daughter, who departed this life one year ago April 26. Gone in the best of her days. Blighted in childhood's bloom Torn from the hearts that loved her To sleep in the silent tomb. From this world of grief and trouble To the land of peace and rest God has taken our dear daughter Where she will find everlasting rest Oh how hard we tried to save her Prayer and tears were all in vain Happy angels came and took her From this world of toil and pain.

Kinky hair cannot be made straight; you are just fooling yourself if you have to use hair before it can be straightened. Now this. Exelento Quinine Pomade is a Hair Grower which feeds the scalp and roots of the hair and makes the hair grow, and you can see the results by using several products. It also leaves haran, stubborn, nappy hair soft and silky. Price 25c by mail on receipt of stamps or coin. AGENTS WANTED! For our great new book, Progress in Achievements of the 20th Century Negro.
