The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 42 JOHNSON WINS BIG MARATHON Covers Six Mile Course in 32 Minutes. —Twenty-Seven Runners Finish in Fair Condition Twenty-eight runners eager for the five and a half mile grind of the Afro-American third annual marathon race faced the starter at Park Heights and Belvedere avenues at twenty minutes to twelve on last Saturday morning. Thirty-two minutes and twenty-eight seconds later, Earl Johnson, wearing the colored of Morgan College, crossed the line a winner, and incidently clipped 55 seconds from the record made by himself last year over a slightly shorter course. Three minutes later, James Finney of the Dunbar Athletic Club romped in followed in half a minute by John Cromwell of the Y. M. C. A. In the next three minutes, thirteen runners had crossed the finishing line, in many instances only one or two seconds apart. As early as ten-thirty, groups of spectators began to gather around the Afro-American Building to await the outcome of the race. The Boy Scouts under the direction of Scoutmaster Charles Cary aided the policemen in keeping the crowds on the sidewalk, and at intervals along the route, flagged the runners and kept them in the course. The course, beginning at Belvedere avenue, led down Park Heights avenue to Kate avenue, to the Reisterstown Road, through Drudl Hill Park, to Fulton avenue, to Laurens street, to Carey, to Gold, to Drudl Hill avenue and finished in front of the Afro-American Building. Checkers at prominent stations noted the order in which the runners passed their post and watchful physicians in autos saw that those who overtaxed themselves were cared for. Their services were only needed in one instance, for 27 of the 28 runners finished in good condition, many of them sprinting at a ten minute clip across the finishing line. In our extra edition just after the race, the Afro-American told of the splendid pace that Earl Johnson set for the field, and once in the lead, he was never headed, just as no other runner was able to pass Finney. These two men made the best performance but all the runners finished in 44 minutes and most of them within 40 minutes finished in the following order Name Club Time Johnson, Morgan 32.28 Finney, Dunbar 35.01 Cromwell, Y.

The medals and trophies will be awarded the winners at the Ames Memorial Church on June 22. The pastor, Rev. A. J. Mitchell will deliver an address to the runners and their friends at eight o'clock after which refreshments will be held in the basement of the church. A shave, hair cut, massage and a shampoo are awaiting the winner at the tonsorial parlor of Ernest Hitchens on Druid Hill avenue near St. Mary's street. He offered this to the first runner to pass his place of business. The same dose is also awaiting the first runner to pass the parlor of Mr. Charles Sanders at the corner of Druid Hill avenue and Hoffman street. COMMENCEMENT AT HOWARD Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Bishop J. Albert Johnson Address Howard Graduates Washington, June 7—One hundred and eighty-four young men and women were the recipients of degrees at commencement exercises of Howard University Wednesday. They were distributed as follows: College of Arts and Sciences, 49, Teachers' College, 29, Theology 7, Medicine 12, Dentistry, 42, Pharmacy, 17, Law, 28. This is probably the largest number of degree graduates in the history of the institution and represents an increase of 28 over the number of last year. The increase is due largely to the exceptionally large class in Dentistry, which is twice the size of last year's class. It was planned to hold the exercises on the University campus, where a large platform has been erected for the Shakespearean Pugent to be given next week, but wet weather caused a change to the Rankin Memorial Chapel. Nearly two thousand alumni, students and parents braved the inclement weather, but only five hundred were granted entrance after the academic procession. The result was a crush at the doors in which several women fainted, and more serious injuries averted only by the prompt action of hastily summoned police. The annual address to the graduates was delivered by the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. Many came expecting an academic oration such as was delivered by former Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, or by former Secretary of the State Bryan, were very much disappointed, for Mr. Daniels, citing statistics obtained from the office of the Director of Census, commended the colored people upon their progress in fifty years, and assured them of the unfalling interest of all white people of his State, North Carolina, and of his own life-long interest in their welfare. He stated his belief that all racial problems of the country could be solved, if both whites and blacks would take the simple prescription of one pound of common sense per day, until relief was afforded. President Newman handed the diplomas to the graduates and Dean Isaac Clark, of the School of Theology delivered the invocation and benediction. The address to the graduates of the non-degree departments of the Academy, Commercial College and Teachers' College was delivered on Monday night by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church. In a brilliant talk, full of illustrations from African life and customs, Bishop Johnson spoke of the moral battles that the young secondary students would have to face in life, and ended with a magnificent plan for missionary teachers to Africa. In his characteristic way he confided to the audience that he had "talked too long already," and took his seat before they realized that he had finished. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees on Tuesday, the recent strike of the students occupied the most of the morning. A reorganization of the administration was decided upon, the form to be left to the "efficiency" committee. The eight trustees, whose terms expire this year, including Rev. Francis A. Grimke, Bishop Alexander Walters, were reelected with the exception of Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, of Philadelphia. It was said that Dr. Sinclair was the unanimous choice of the colored members of the Board, but met strong opposition from the white members on account of his outspoken way of meeting issues. Dr. Newman spoke of the failure to reelect Dr. Sinclair as "unexpected and a surprise to him." There were but two changes in the teachers for the incoming year: Assistant Professor Alain Leroy Locke was granted leave of absence for one year forgraduate study at Harvard, and Carl J. Murphy was advanced to the rank of Assistant Professor. The General Alumni Association at its business session Wednesday morning was addressed by Prof. Wm. V. Tunnell on "Alumni Preparedness." Shelby —J. Davidson was reelected president. Maryland graduates to receive their degrees of A. B. were William T. Buckner, Hester M. Biddle, Robert Samuel Chase, Stewart Rochester Cooper, Edward F. Fräzler, Louisa H. Thompson Thomas Herbert McCormick, all former graduates of the local High School and Caroline Clinton Calloway, of Lincoln, Md., John Love, of Baltimore, a graduate of Morgan preparatory, and John L. Waters, of Oxford, Md. Edgar A. Love, of this city, received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity and Esther Ellen and Ruth Marie Fowler received the degrees of Doctor of Pharmacy. Clarence L. Pinderhughes received the degree of Bachelor of Laws. ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION New York, N. Y., June 6—The General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, at its annual spring meeting held here May 26th, made a total appropriation of $789,950 to several colleges and educational research funds. For the annual maintenance of six schools, $81,000 was appropriated. This was distributed among Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., which received $20,000; Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., $25,000; Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., $25,000; Morehouse College, Atlanta, $5,000; Fisk University, Nashville, $5,000; and Maysville Industrial School, Maysville, N. C., $1,000. For the equipment of Negro Normal schools in North Carolina, $109,430 was appropriated. For preparation of a study into the best methods of training teachers for rural schools; a study of the progress of the education of the Negro as developed at Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes, and a survey of higher education in Maryland, $50,000 was appropriated. PYTHIANS MEMORIAL SERVICE. An overflowing congregation attended the annual memorial services of local lodges of the Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. Over one thousand members of the Order were in attendance. The services were opened by Grand Chancellor George A. Watty. The oration was by Rev. P. J. Jordan, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church and Mrs. Elizabeth White delivered the oration on the part of the Courts of Calanthe. Miss Mable Jones recited and sang very effectively. The collection for the service amounted to nearly 150. New York, June 7—A young colored student's oration on Booker T. Washington the late educator, dean-locked the judges on the second prize in the George Augustus Sandham oratorical contest of New York University's commencement exercises yesterday afternoon. As a result two second prizes were awarded, one to Lewis Davidson, '17, the colored contest, and the other to William H. Draper, '16, the white contest, who spoke for preparedness in his address, "A Plea for a Virile National Policy." HIGH COST STOPS BUILDING HIGH COST STORIES BUILDING New York, June 5-On account of the high price of all building material it has been decided that all building operation connected with the disposition of the large fund raised for the Y. M. C. A. and the X. W. C. A. will be dispensed with for the present. It was expected to begin the erection of the colored men's branch building in Harlem, but as the colored people have been so slow in meeting their pledges, the committee has decided to await a more general awakening in interest of the proposition. BALTIMORE HONORED Mr. Wm. Llewellyn Wilson, organist ata Trinity A. M. E. Church, this city, was signally honored by being selec- ted as the organ soloist at the Senior Musicale of Lincoln University, last Tuesday.

The following committee is arrangni for the function: Dev. A. L. Gaines chairman; John H. Murphy, secretary; Jeremiah Stafford, Revs. S. M. Johnson, P. W. Wortham, J. W. Sanders, P. J. Jordan and J. G. Martin. NUMBER OF ENTRIES IN RACE FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION BREAKS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS BY WARNER T. McGUINN Chicago, June 6—It was a nipping and biting air that blew from Lake Michigan all yesterday. Today a cold driving, pelting, pitiless rain, mussing the beautiful street decorations, slushing the streets, and dampening the spirits and ardor of the most pestiferous boomer is the offering of the weather man. As I write the wind bowls omniously about the caves of the houses. Udesirable convention weather, calling out wraps, overcoats and rubbers and forming a bizarre combination with straw and Panama. The great hall, the Coliseum, is in readiness. The carpenters are driving their final nails today and the decorator are putting on their finishing touches. It is a magnificent auditorium, with rare and resonant acoustic properties and every conceivable accessory. Col. W. F. Stone, the Sergeant-at-arms, under whose direction the preliminaries are made, has on this, as on former occasions, shown a masterful mind for detail, organization and effectiveness. The political eddies which four years ago bubbled up in various sections of the country, broadening and deepening by their acceleration with their currents and counter currents have emptied themselves into the swirling malestrom of political hysteria in Chicago. Beneath the coldest exterior there is perturbation. Strong men, gripping their nerves in their palms, walk as if on thin and dangerous ice. The game is being played with consummate skill by the political conventions, but the personnel of the delegates may upset their calculations. As the hours pass, it is becoming clearly apparent that the men who have been charged by their constituents with the responsibility of muning the most available candidate, may at any time refuse further to consider this serious matter as a mere "fame," and process untrammeled to execute the business which the hour and the nation demand. Already the favorite son scheme set up, in council, to hold in reserve a large proportion of the convention for manipulation, shows signs of disintegration. Senator Borah has released his adherents without instructions save as their consciences and duty dictate. Other "sons" are doing likewise. It appears that Hughes, though not acceptable to the Old Guard, was quietly "suggested" to head-off Roosevelt. The country became enamored with his candidacy. Without working it his boom begat such large proportions, that the "directors" brought forth the "favorite son" scheme to head off Hughes, and now the whole business is higgledy-piggledy. The favorite son movement described by some political analysis as a joke may really become tragic in its reaction upon its originators. Before the plans of the incandescentes were revealed, it was generally conceded that fate had placed in the hands of Penovia, of Pennsylvania, the portentious issues now dominant in the American nation and supremiment in their relations to the affairs of the world. Politics, however, like the railroad schedule, is subject to change without notice. The events now transpring present no counterpart in our political annals. Never before have two correlated political bodies concurred in point of time. Never before have their been so many entries for the coveted honor. Never before but once have issues which reach to the foundation of the nation, been raised and exploited. Never before did issues of world wide consequence lay upon the lap of the political gods. Hence responsibility has become acute and oppressive and the country may witness an exhibition of patriotism that only discloses itself in stressful times. I do not propose to hand out to the readers of the Afro-American any particular dope. Here it is atmospheric. Each man has' his own not and after PRICE THREE CENTS PRESIDENTIAL ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS Exciting Scenes Mark Opening Sessions of Progressive Convention WANT NOTHING BUT T. R. Mention of His Nam Signal For Wild and Unusual Demonstration BY WARNER T. McGUINN --- he has inhaled the fumes from his own pipe is prepared oracularly to give out his dreams. There is the loud-mouthed,clapper-clawed dopester To dispute his findings invites his disgust and his distrust of one's sanity. There is the cold, calculating dopester, who with pencil in hand will exhibit an array of figures and with unerring precision work out on paper the winning candidate. Then there is the quiet unobtrusive fellow, who attends all conventions for no other purpose other than to be there; with an air of mysticism, he moves along like a political high priest. He will lay his hand quietly on one's shoulder, look one straight in the eye and explain with convincing certitude now it is all going to happen. This is an occasion, however, where neither paroxism, mathematics nor form is determinative The innocent little speech of Justice Hughes on the flag, delivered on a very innocent occasion yesterday, has caused confusion, if not consternation, in the camp of the Progressives. It has clarified the atmosphere and it requiresextraordinary effort to hold in leash the candidates who always desire a comfortable seat on the band wagon. T. R., however, fights on resolutely, heroically. Cortelyou and other noted manipulators are reported either to be here or enroute, to assist in managing his fight. At this time no responsible person is able to predict the outcome. The Maryland delegation met in one of the parloros of the LaSalle Hotel and organized, this afternoon. Gist Blair was elected chairman of the caucus and George W. Cameron, secretary. The Hon. W. P. Jackson was unanimously chosen as the National Committeeman from Maryland. Major John Philip Hill was elected member of the committee on credentials; Laban Sparks, on permanent organization; Gist Blair on rules and order; Thomas M. Bartlett, on resolutions; Harry E. Wileco, honorary vice president; Gen. Felix Agnus, to notify the presidential nominee, and Mr. Daub to notify the vice president nominee. Charles E. Williams, Frank D. Hughes and Remus Dorsey, the three colored alternates, were present, but silent and necessarily voiceless. To one who remembers the history of national politics as played in Maryland in days gone by, this lack of Negro representation appeared frightfully ominous. The only fight in the caucus was on the chairmanship of the delegation. O. E. Weller was ejected by a vote of 8 to 6. Laban Sparks of Baltimore County bitterly assaulted the candidacy of Mr. Weller and declared that a man who was the avowed political campaign manager of Senator Weeks, for whom there was no sentiment in Maryland whatever, had no right to head the Maryland delegation. Major Hill, in a very logical argument, also opposed his candidacy. Many distinguished Negro politicians are here. Notably among them are John R. Lynch, Charles W. Anderson, Judson W. Lyons, J. Madison Vance, the elder Knox, of Indiana, Chris J. Perry, of the Philadelphia Tribune, Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee; John H. Jackson, of Ohio, one of the famous "306" of 1880; L. M. King, W. E. Mollison, of Mississippi; J. T. Cheshire, of New Jersey; W. F. Allen, Junius H. Hayes and many others. Why has Maryland no Negro representative in this convention? is the discussion. I have met it in the convention lobby, on the streets, in the cafes and restaurants; in fact, wherever a group of colored politicians assemble. The failure to send a colored representative to this convention is construed generally as an act in line with a settled policy to gradually reduce the potency of colored representation in the national councils of the Republican party. This may or may not be true, but this is the unquestioned interpretation placed upon the matter by responsible political thinkers. CHAPLAIN SCOTT ENTERTAINED Schofield Barracks, H. I., May 24—The enlisted men of the 25th Infantry tendered Chaplain and Mrs. O. J. W. Scott, a reception at the Infantry Amusement Hall, last night. It was a most unique affair, the enlisted men trying in every way to show their appreciation of the Chaplain and his wife for the many kindnesses they have shown them'. Chaplain Scott and his wife are both very popular with the troops. Chicago, June 8—Marking time at the Coliseum, raging to nominate Roosevelt at the Auditorium. When Raymond Robins declared in his address that "the chief issue today is one of leadership, that the supreme need is a man, that that man's name was on the lips of the nation" and then slightly pausing, thundered that he was the foremost citizen of the world, Theodore Roosevelt, he set off a bunch of dynamite that rocked and reeded that great convention hall and which may be heard around the world. Some say that the great demonstration was fictitious, cleverly and carefully staged, but no one could say this who saw it. No pen, however facile, picturesque, emotional or analytic can adequately reproduce the scene which for over an hour followed his declamatic utterance. It defies description. The men and women who applauded, and wept, and shouted, and yelled, raved and tore, marched and counter marched, really believe with their chairman that every great movement is incarnated with a living personality, and in this instance, that personality is Theodore Roosevelt. Two hours before, Senator Harding had delivered his keynote to the 12,000 people assembled in the Coliseum. His address was a splendid exposition of Republican principles and policies masterly delivered and bristled with Americanism and preparedness. It was a critical arraignment of the present administration—the work of a master political surgeon, scalpels in hand, dividing between the marrow and the bone, but behind it there was not concentrated a specific living personality that incarnated the cause. The one question now uppermost and momentus is: "Shall we have one candidate and a united party or two candidates and disaster, defeat ultimately of the Republican party as an agency of government?" Roosevelt alone can answer. Our own Senator Wm. P. Jackson has disputed a message to Colonel Roosevelt to come to Chicago. It is quite evident that this was not done without advice and concurrent thought of the leaders. Will he come? Can he himself prevent the Progressive Convention which is seeped through and through with his personality from proceeding to action? This is no hand-picked assemblage. Wednesday when it stood up and sang "Onward Christian Soldiers," it had the effect of an army of crusaders. Wednesday I had the rare opportunity of witnessing the meeting of the political antipodes —Uncle Joe Cannon and William Jennings Bryan, grasping hands and chatting pleasantly in a Republican National Convention. Mr. Bryan occupies a modest desk of rough boards covered with paper in the press gallery. He is only a reporter now. At St. Louis he may be something more. At this writing I have just returned from the Coliseum, where I have listened to one of Uncle Joe's characteristic speeches and heard him applauded to the echo. He was followed by that splendid statesman and brilliant orator Senator Borah, of Idaho. Before your next issue the world will probably know the results of these epocal conventions, but now all is chos. In a future letter, I shall ask: "What place have we in this political scene. EQUAL RIGHTERS MEET Springfield, Ill., June 6—A joint session of the Equal Rights League and the First Ward Voters' League was held recently in the headquarters of the former on Washington street. The meeting was an onthusian one. Robert W. Jackson presided over the joint meeting. ..Woman's Department.. BY MARGARET BLACK MORE THAN ONE FACULTY "I am so tired of teaching I don't know what to do," is the remark a woman made to me the other day. "Then why not give it up and try something else." I said. "Because I do not know how to do anything else" was the reply. Which all comes from not allowing yourself a thought outside of your work. You have thought of nothing but teaching and have denied yourself of every pleasure, simply because you thought not of the years to come. Now your main faculty is failing you and you have nothing to take its place. You have never given a thought to anything else except as it furthered your plans in the teaching line, which to my mind is all wrong." "Well," she said. "When I'm too old to teach, I can retire and from the teacher's pension fund be able to live some how." "Yes," I said, "but does that pay? Will you be able to remain inactive simply because your teaching days are over? Are you going to be content to sit still and do a little knitting or reading now and again? Of course you are not. God certainly endowed you with more than one faculty. Find out what the other faculties are and use them along with your teaching. You will find out that your views will become broader and you will make a decidedly better teacher." Just the trouble with a good many of us. We learn to do one thing well and think that is all that is necessary. Too many of us never give a thought of the future. Whenever I hear some one say, "I don't know how to do anything else," I feel as though I would like to shake them. Take the teacher, the stenographer, the book-keeper, the clerk or any man or woman who knows only how to do one thing, and in time there is loss of health and they are incapacitated for that one thing. He or she may have practiced it with success for years, but the most important faculty needed to keep it up is lost and no way to regain it; and they are stranded—helpless and know not which way to turn. Nine cases out of ten they have only made a living wage and when they fail they are like a fish out of water. Of course I am not talking of the far-sighted woman who protects the future by some financial provision in case of accident. I thin kthe person with a hobby is blest indeed. It not only provides recreation but it calls into play the other faculties needed to keep them from getting weary, tired and worn out on the job that furnishes the bread and butter living. Some one has said that "variety is the spice of life," and it is certainly true. The woman who has had the forcesight to plan her life for years ahead generally manages to become proficient in come other work than the one in which she is engaged. If she is doing mental work each day she usually tries to cultivate some skill in the manual arts. It is no disgrace, no matter what your calling, to know how to cook and keep house well. Do not be afraid to put on acap and apron and soil your hands. It will do you good. Too many of our girls think it a disgrace and a fall in the social line to know how to go in the kitchen and do a day's work. I sometimes wonder what would have become of them if their parents had thought the same thing. Some mothers think too much of making fashion plates and society ninies out of their children. If they would take as much trouble to cultivate their dormant faculties we would have less street walkers and corner leathers. A change of occupation keeps the mind fresher than if it were continually filled with one thought. A woman I know, who is a successful teacher, devotes a good bit of her spare time to social settlement work; another to music, another to painting, and a high school teacher who spends her spare time studying languages and foreign countries and cities, chaperoning young wamen abroad during her vacation period. Since the war she has organized a S. A. F. (See America First) Club, and chaperones them at terschool closes on sight-seeing tours, all of which brings her not only recreation, but lots of information and pleasure. There is a mother I have in mind who did nothing but house work and attend the children. "Enough to do, you'll say." Yes, but she got so tired of the same routine, day in and dayout, and never a change. So she joined an embroidery club, but that did not make much difference—it did not seem to fill the needed want; so she looked around for something else. One day in puttingher books together, she discovered so many with torn bindings, and in trying to fix them the idea came to her: "why not learn bookbinding?" She did learn; her daughter became interested, and now they get all sorts of pleasure out of putting old books together and rebinding them. Another little house-mother, who has discovered a necessity for verse-making and my joy, sees her spare time writing verse and postal cards of all kinds, which furnishes her pocket money, and she has many little pleasures that she would have had to deny herself of. So I could tell of many of them. We often see an advertisement in the paper for help—man and wife wanted, or married man wanted, or woman with child wanted—and I know some of you wonder why? It is because they will stick. They are not more efficient than the single folks but they have the faculty needed to make them stick. They have something attached to them that usually keeps them as steady as an old cart horse. If you will stop to think, you will see that people who employ help are generally favorable to married men. We have in our town a factory in which all the workmen are married. They, like a ship, have an anchor to keep them steady. So supply yourself with an anchor—not necessarily a human anchor—but some obligation that will keep you on the job and make you worth while. Find something to do and cultivate a hobby—something that will act as a stimulus to urge you on to better things and to do better work.

New York.-At the organization meeting of the New York branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held the latter part of May in the Lenox Community center, New York, the following officers were elected: President, Miss Mary White Ovington; vice president, James W. Johnson; secretary, George Lattimore; treasurer, John E. Nail; executive committee, Miss Martha Gruening, Arthur B. Spingarn, John M. Royall, Mrs. R. C. Ransom, E. A. Johnson and Roy Nash. An audience of over 200 filled the auditorium of public school SO, which started the organization off with splendid enthusiasm. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop of the board of directors of the association and by Roy Nash, national secretary. The St. Philip's choir rendered two beautiful selections, and Miss Margaret Anderson recited. The new president, Miss Mary White Ovington, said a few words in closing the meeting and called a meeting of the executive committee to arrange for future plans. Sunday School Convention Feature. A feature of the program for the coming meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. U. U convention will be a period devoted to work among children, in which the latter will render the program. Mrs. J. C. Jackson will direct the arrangements for this feature of the convention's work. The sessions of the convention will be held at the Second Baptist church, North Philadelphia. Rev. A. P. Camphor Elected Bishop. With five candidates in the field for the position of bishop to Africa at the session of the Methodist General conference at Saratoga, N. Y., on Tuesday, May 23, the Rev. Alexander P. Camphor of Birmingham, Ala., was elected by the following vote: A. P. Camphor, 447; C. A. Thidley, 108; J. C. Sperfill, 78; W. H. Brooks, 65; E. A. White, 55. The vote was made unanimous. THE TROPHY THE AFRO-AMERICAN Mme. Evelyn Horton, the celebrated hair dresser and scalp specialist, who has been stopping at 1237 Drudu Hill avenue for the past two weeks, has been very successful in introducing her hair preparations in this city, so much so that she has decided to remain in the city several weeks longer A. E. to firmly establish agencies here. Mrs. Horton has a very large establishment in St. Louis, where she manufactures her own preparations, which are well known throughout the South. This is Mrs. Horton's first attempt to invade the Eastern field, and her efforts have met with spontaneous success. Mrs. Horton recently contributed $100 toward the establishment of a temperance bureau in the A. M. E. Church. Clarksville, Tenn., May 29, 1916 Dear Mrs. Horton: I have intended writing you ere this, but as I keep busy, I put it off one time for another. Some time over a year ago, I began using your Hor-tona Hair Grower, under the careful treatment of your agent here. Mrs. Mary Terrell, and can truthfully say that the results have been wonderful. My temples were bald but now I have full temples; and my hair has grown from finger length to shoulder length, and continues to grow longer, and Oh, so very thick. I cannot say too much for Hor-Ton A. Allow me to say that you could not have placed your preparations in better hands than Mrs. Torrell. She is the most patient, kind, and I believe without a doubt the BEST hair grower not only in Clarkville, but any place where there are hair growers. Everything she does is a success. Every person's hair she attends, grows. I don't think it would be too much to say; that she ranks FIRST BEST HERE, and second only to MADAM HORTON, of St. Louis, Mo. I feel for her though, for not any of her customers will let any one else touch their heads but her; and she is heavily taxed and overworked, until sometime I feel that she might give down from overwork. May you live long and continue to make preparations for my people. May God bless you and Mrs. Torrell with His choiciest blessings. Yours faithfully MRS. ORA MILLER, Care Dr. Ellis.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 10, 1916 HOMES FOR CHILDREN The days work was done and the workingman dragged his way homeward. Eight-thirty until five-thirty hour for dinner. He was dull and sweaty and weak, he did not need to tell anyone that. With cherry whistle and quick step he has gone out in the morning, but eight hours of work at high speed has robbed him of his reserve energy, and his dragging step spoke as plainly as it could of the man played out. In this hopeless, helpless fashion he walked for some blocks and then came the transformation. A half square away a bit of white has caught sight of the tired figure and was coming to meet it at a rate dangerous to the equilibrium of three year old bodies self propelled. As it came closer the incoherent cries could be translated as "daddy, daddy, daddy." This was the miracle. The sunken jaw of the man dropped into place, another light in his eyes, and the folds of his forehead are gone, as he took the tiny figure in his arms and held it tight. Then placing it gently on the ground, he bent quickly and took it on his back, the chubby brown arms around his neck. Amid the gurgles of a delighted child hegalloped the half square to his home. The number of such daily miracles in the world must run into the millions but there are thousands of homes where this miracle is impossible. The tired man comes at evening to a cheerful, childless home. There is the purr of the house cat or the joyful bark of a pet dog, but these cannot awaken a human response. It is to such homes as these that an appeal was made in a Southern paper recently under the heading "Wanted, Homes For Children." It reads. Good homes wanted for children under seven years of age. These are bright and attractive boys and girls, with bright futures.Many of these unfortunate little ones have been bereft of both mother and father, and we have now in the Home quite a large number of boy babies from three to six months of age. We are not looking for homes of wealth, but homes in which there is a possibility of home life and education. If you have no little ones in your home, would you not take one of these little ones on trial, as that is the only method by which this Society places children? We are just as anxious that the home is satisfied with the child as the child is satisfied with the home. We have a number or nomes which have been made happy by taking in to it one of our babies. If you would like to share your home with one of these little ones, you may write B. G. Regen, superintendent, 315 Second Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. There are any number of people in this city who have more children than they can well take care of; there are those too, who have fewer than they ought to have under normal human conditions. The logical thing for the childless then is to adopt the children of others. We have gotten past the place where it is worthy to adopt dogs, cats and parrots, and allow children to remain in orphanages. To decrease the number of children with decrease the number of children with out homes is more than a privilege, it is a duty. MAJOR MOTON UNDER FIRE It is rather unfortunate that just after the inauguration of Tuskegee's new principal, his wife and brother should be ejected from a Pullman sleeping car and compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" day coach. Not that the incident presents anything that is unusual, the rather is it the ordinary happening to the colored person, whether respectable or not, who would travel in comfort on the railways of the South. A little over two months ago, two bishops of the A. M. E. Church were forced out of their berths into a separate car. The unfortunate part is that the incident was used to have Major Moton declare his position on the whole subject of separate cars; and the press, North and South, besieged the new Principal for a statement of his views of the incident. However, Major Moton was alive to the situation, and in the diplomatic manner of his predecessor, refrained from making any statement that could be quoted. Viewed from the ground of those hostile to Tuskegee, there were just two things that Major Moton could do. He could call down curses upon the separate car system of the South and thru the United States courts make a move for equal accommodations, or he could justify the action of the employees of the Pullman Company. In either case the Major would make thousands of enemies. In the first instance, he would lose the support and aid of the white South, so necessary to the largest development of Tuskegee; in the second instance he would lose the confidence and cooperation of the colored people, equally necessary if the Tuskegee of the future is to fulfill its mission. Enemies of Major Moton were of the opinion that they had him in the position where he must choose between the two supports, both of which were indispensable. Doubtless these same enemies regarded it as a triumph when it was reported that "Major Moton was in full sympathy with the feeling of the South and has never in any way desired to override public opinion in the matter of racial relations." But if these unsigned and unquoted statements are taken as evidence that Tuskegee's new principal is a traitor to his own people, it will not succeed in estranging those people. If certain exigencies demand that R. R. Moton, as principal of Tuskegee, make certain statements for the benefit of the institution he serves, we need no assurances where R. R. Moton, the man, stands on the same proposition. COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES Usually when a commencement orator of the white race begins his address with congratulations to the graduates that they have the mentality to endure and assimilate education like other peoples of the world, and then continues with a rehash of the progress of colored people in the last fifty years, and ends with the grand finale that white people, and especially those of the South are our best friends, the yawning audiences are conscious that such an orator is speaking "down" to them. This was the case of the Howard University commencement, which was addressed by the Honorable Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels. It was not the case when Judge Soper of the Baltimore Supreme Bench addressed the graduates of Morgan College. The difference lies in the fact that the Judge spoke from a wide and personal experience of his subject, and not from the basis of a few facts culled from the Department of Census for the occasion. He realized that the human problems facing Morgan College graduates confront every community, so that he spoke to his audience not as a race but as Americans. "What this community needs and what every community needs is leadership to bring out the best that is in it." Leaders must be educated to see the truth, and when they have found it, through publicity make others see it as they do. This is t hekind of graduation oration that might have been delivered to the Chinese, the Indian, the Jew, or any other racial group, and its practical universality is what makes it a good address, just as the lack of universal appeal makes Secretary Daniels' advice border on condescension and hence bad taste. BALTIMORE GETS MONEY The estate of the late Mary Pasteur of New York, was recently settled in that city, leaving her niece and name sake, Essie Mary Pasteur, sole heir. The amount involved is sixteen thousand dollars. There was a rumor that the money had been left to the Aged home but this is false. Miss Pasteur, who lives in this city, is to give to the institution what she sees fit. Miss Blanche Taylor will entertain Friday evening a number of guests in honor of Miss Essie Pasteur's guests from North Carolina. Mrs. Mary A. Bishop, of 1710 Brunt street, after a seven week illness, is rapidly improving under the care of Dr. Edward Short, and wishes to thank her many friends for their beautiful flowers and their kindness. Awakened to horror by the many painful accidents and appalling loss of life attendant on the old-fashioned celebration of the Fourth of July, the country has, in recent years, roused itself to find a less dangerous outlet for the patriotism and enthusiasm of young America. Children should be taught patriotism, and the safe and sane Fourth movement meets the need in an enlightened way. Progressive Baltimore fell in line with other cities and celebrates the birth of our flag in a sensible way, by neighborhood and community celebrations. Last year, the colored people, for the first time, from all over the city, gathered at Druid Hill Park for a great patriotic celebration and demonstration. Those who witnessed the event last year will rejoice to know that efforts are being put forth to make the celebration this year even greater. The committee is working under the leadership of Mr. Harry T. Pratt The festivities are being planned on a much larger scale than last year and the committee is appealing to the friends of childhood and a generous public for funds to carry out its plans. Last year $50 was received from the city for the celebration. This year every section is raising funds for its own celebration, as no money is available for that purpose. The colored people are planning one big celebration at Drudu Hill Park, and like the rest of the city, must finance its own plans. To meet the expenses of the celebration the city has been divided into five districts, reaching the entire community through the churches and children. Each district is under an efficient chairman and vice chairman, with its own committee, and each will vie with the other to raise the largest sum toward the amount needed. The districts with their chairman and vice chairmen follow: North Baltimore Division, Rev. J. W. Jones, chairman; J. W. Woodhous, vice chairman. West Baltimore Division, No. 1. Rev. L. Z. Johnson, chairman; Wm. H. Lee, vice chairman. West Baltimore Division, No. 2. Rev. W. W. Allen, chairman, Thomas F. Jones, vice chairman. South Baltimore Division, Rev. C. E. Stewart, chairman, John W. Cotton, vice chairman. East Baltimore Division, Rev. P. C. Neal, chairman; William Anderson, vice chairman. W. L. Fitzgerald, chairman of the committee on fraternal organizations; Miss Mary A. Bennett, chairman of committee on Women's Clubs. The chairman and the following general officers constitute the executive committee: Harry T. Pratt, chairman; S. S. Booker, vice Chairman; Wm. L. Fitzgerald treasurer; Rev. A. J. Mitchell, secretary; Miss S. R. Jackson, assistant secretary. BISHOP J. ALBERT JOHNSON PREACHES AT BETIEL Bishop J. Albert Johnson, presiding bishop of the Second Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, preached at the Bethel A. M. E. Church to a large audience last Sunday morning. The Bishop urged the congregation to be as liberal as possible in the coming rally as every dollar would be needed in order to meet pressing obligations. The rally will take place on the last Sunday in the present month, at which time it is hoped that several thousand dollars will be raised On Monday Bishop Johnson addressed the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting and gave the members some of the experiences of his early life in the ministry. He urged that every church of the denomination in the city and suburbs should contribute to the Bethel Church rally. He was most emphatic in his remarks as to his attitude towards his ministerial brethren, making it plain that it would not be necessary to bribe him in order to secure good appointments. He told the ministers that he did not owe any man anything, and no man owed him anything, therefore he was free to do as he thought best for the church and the ministry. He said he was not here to boss or to play the tyrant, but came as a brother to every man, big and little. He said he had no favorites and did not expect to have any SHAP STREET CHURCH Last Sunday in Sharp Street Mem. M. E. Church, under the auspices of the King's Daughters and Sons, 137 aged and inhrm members of the city, with 18 from Bayview, listened to a sermon by the pastor, Dr. M. J. Naylor, after which Communion was served. The old folks were then escorted to the lecture room of the church where they were served with dinner after which an old-fashioned love-feast and testimonial meeting was conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Christy, assisted by Revs. Naylor and Watson. This meeting was a great one and lasted until after five o'clock. Never before in the history of these meetings have the Caucasion brothers shown a greater spirit of brotherly love. They were the life of the meeting. After the service automobiles and hacks carried the old folks to therl respective homes. The King's daughters work hard for this day, but with delight, because they are making those who have not the opportunity to get out happy. There are many who look forward to the first Sunday in June, as it is the only time they get to church. The invitation from the Circle to the aged is undemnominational. Miss Margaret Holmes entertained a small number of her friends Tuesday evening. Those who enjoyed Miss Holmes' hospitality were Misses Nina Maye, Ethel Small, Sophia Hicks, Esse Pasteur and Gladys Brown. The guests of honor were Miss Louise Bell and Miss Elvetta Petty, of North Carolina. PERSONALS Dr. and Mrs. Albert O.

MIDNIGHT DOWN IN TEXAS Shaking The Hands of Prominent People And Having A Good Y Time Generally Get- = ting Around ‘time. since I have been in this olale, put Iam here just the same. Upon reaching here the first thing I heard after I had shaken hands with Prof. , T. Pollard, principal of “Pollard “Graded School" and S. M. Gray, of the People's Drug Store, 1 heard bowh of them say “Elder stuy in touch with me.” ‘This was a strange expression, and fat the same tine Dr. M. E. Robin- son was at the drug store, and 1 saw hhim smile, and then 1 understood it all. A long time ago, Dr. Robinson “invited me to visit and preach for him. He was to meet me at the sta~ ction the next Monday morning. with ‘some money for me, und all 1 got to ‘see was his long coat tail swinging on fa train, and he shouting back to me “Blder, stay in touch with me, stay in touch with me.” I am still in touch with him but up tothis sweet hour 1 have not seen the money. I will continue to stay in touch with the good elder. ‘All the general conferences are over and the people are getting down to Dusiness. I am so glad that Bishop J. Albert Johnson has been assigned to the secund district. H¢ will have the Jove of his brethren and they are proud of his being their bishop. Me js a great man und a great preacher and 1am real proud of him because of his greatness and because of the work he is doing. Tam sure it means so much to get hold of a big man lke this, 1 amr de- lighted with the great things he has done andis still doing for humanity and the race. ‘Then there is Bishop Heard, who has been assigned to Mis~ ‘sissippi and Louisiana, 24¢ will do a great work. As 1 have been telling you all the time, Dr. B. F. Watson would be returned to his post, and it is just what St should have been. I jmow here und there men bobbed up for his place and I think they should aspire, Let the church know they are thinking about it, and when Dr. Wat- son retires there will be some one who has thought enough about it to take nis place if the church thinks that way. ‘Dr. B. F. Watson is a faithful ser- “vant of the church and of the people. He has given his life for the uplift of others. He has made a specialty of church extension and while he may not please all the ministers, he is do- jng the best thing for the church. He js not’ able to give them all they ask for, and if you will consult.your mind you will find that it is true with God, land He is not trying. Think of the jmany prayers that go out to Him every hour in theday, and someot them are not noticed. People just pray to be praying, and never think about what they ask, They get to- <gether alot of words and expect the ‘Lord to answer them. ‘God knows when they are in earnest and when they are just shamming. ‘Then. there was Prof. Ira T. Bryant he deserved tobe returned and was returned, so was Dr. John R. Hawkins J. W. Rankin, J. C, Caldwell, Editor GW. Allen, Editor R, R. Wright, ‘Manager J. 1. Lowe and others. Some ‘of my friends were left whoses names went before the church for the big pudding. They can come again. They Zim ve used it the Lora desires to have’ them used. Plenty money did not control the Jast-general conference. 1 don't know what they mean, but I have heard it said before by some of the dele- gates. I do Know that the A. M. E. Zion, is over and Dr. J. S, Jackson was Yeft. out. They would not hear him make a statement. 1 wonder what them men would think if they go to judgment, and God snould consign them to the place of perpetual sum- - mer without allowing them to make plea for. life, or to tell about thelt action. To condemn, convict and execute a man without giving him show to defend himself, is lynching. 1 think, if Dr. Jackson was gullty he should have been heard. T have been to the Grand Lodge of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection. This is the organizatior that is doing’ so much for the ract and was founded by a woman, Mrs Carrie A, Tuggle, one of the greatest “women of our race'in America, She is doing a great big work and I wa: delighted to have had the pleasure o! meeting her. I often think of the great women of the race and what they are doing, It brings before m: ‘Nannie H...Burroughs, Mrs. Calhoun ‘Miss Georgia Washington, Miss C. A Bowen, Mrs. Fannie M. Crosby, Mrs Pauline D. Jackson, Mrs. Booker T Washington, Mrs, M. B. Steward, Mrs ‘Willis S. Layton, Mrs. 3. E. Clinton Mrs. M. EB. Bethune, and a host of ‘others whose names I cannot recal just now. These women are making things happen. ‘There was a.great meeting of thes« - men.and women in Montgomery, anc ‘Mrs. Tuggle just covered. herself. witk ‘glory. There was a little white mat ‘who came to the meeting with a mag ‘azine. He told me that it was t ‘tench the darkies to stay on the farm “They have no business in the cities “because they are dying there.” “Phere ‘are some pretty live deat man never said another word to me. He got one of the leading men of the order to go around and introduce him to the. business men. He was doing some business, until he was stopped by the police department. which in- formed him ‘that he could not walk with a colored woman, although. it was business. T don't approve of white men walk- ing on the streets with women of our race, although it is business, but when I heard what the police had said and done, I felt like saying a few cuss words, but my religion would not. al- low me to do so. It is a good thing Tam converted. Those white _men were not honest, because—well, I will not say it, but you know and I know what is going of in the South unnotic- ed.

Robinson, chairman of the foreign mission board of tbe national Baptist convention, and the Rev. L. G.

Judge Gibbs of the cireuit court of Wlorida recently declared: unconstita- tional the ‘Florida law prohibiting white teachers from teaching Negro schools and Negro teachers from teaching in white schools. He in- structed the authorities to release'the ‘bondsmen of several sisters in charge of convent schools, who had becn.held for violation of the law.

TUSKEGEE MAKES STEADY ADVANCE MISS SCOTT SALUTATORIAN Commencement Season Is One of Happiness, Intermingled With Sadness—Governor Henderson and State Superintendent of Education Feagin Attend—C. H. Gibson Valedictorian. By CLEMENT RICHARDSON. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—From beginning to end the recent commencement exercises of the Tuskegee institute had that snap and go which have characterized them for the past twenty years. The first exercise of the season began with the intersociety declamation contest, held in the auditorium of Compkins hall. The contest this year A. MISS OLARISSA MAE SCOTT. had a peculiarly added interest because of the substitution of the cash prize for a medal. For a number of years B. H. Warner of Washington has been giving the medal to be awarded to the student who delivered the best declaimation. This year money was substituted for the medal. The prizes were given by members of the Alumni association and by one of the teachers. The money offered was $17.50, being three prizes, the first of $10, the second of $5 and the third of $2.50. The first and second prizes were made up by members of the local alumni association—namely, Miss Sarah L. Hunt, Captain B. F. Ammons, Captain [W. A. Richardson, Captain Victor H. Daniels and Mr. Isaac Fisher, president of the local alumni association and editor of the Negro Farmer and Messenger. The third prize of $2.50 in gold was given by Mr. R. A. Marsden of the English department. The commencement sermon was preached by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, rector, St Luke's Episcopal church, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Wilmer's sermon was full of inspiration and courage both for those who were going out and those who remained. His address to the senior class was one of force and point. The commencement Sunday exercises were followed by the annual Phelps hall commencement, held in the institute chapel. The dean of the department. Rev. G. Lake Imes, with his assistants, had drilled the students on community work and social service, the kind of work which they had been following throughout the year. The annual Boston Trinity church prize speaking contest was held also in the institute chapel. For this speaking two prizes are offered—the first prize of $25 and the second of $15—given by the Trinity church, Boston. The contest was between the members of the A-middle and the members of the senior class. This year 128 students tried out in the first preliminary contest. Commencement day, Thursday, May 25, began at 9 o'clock. There was a little change of custom owing to the additions to the program. There were trainloads of visitors and friends from Montgomery and Opelika and other points in the state and from many of the cities in the north. For the first time in the history of the Tuskegee institute the two commencement speakers having the highest honors were children of members of the Tuskegee institute faculty. The salutatorian was Clarissa Mae Scott, daughter of Emmett J. Scott, the secretary of the school, and the valedictorian was Charles H. Gibson, Jr., son of Charles H. Gibson, Sr., the chief accountant of the institute. Miss Scott's subject was "Beautifying the Rural School Grounds." After welcoming the visitors and friends and referring in a touching and graceful way to the absence of Dr. Washington, the young lady announced her theme. She stated that beautifying the rural school grounds was vital not only because of its attractiveness, but because it taught lessons to the community and rendered the people: content where they were. As is the custom at Tuskegee institute, all the papers except the valedictory were illustrated. Miss Scott had the orchestra stand of the institute converted into a landscape—that is, the stand was covered with a thick layer of earth of various kinds. Here she demonstrated by han- ding spade and rake how to grade a walk, how to plant flowers, how to lay off and plant a garden, and how to plan a school playground. Then, coming down from the orchestra stand, she took a willow basket which had been made by a young lady who had the subject of handicrafts and, putting in moss and herbs, planted several ferns and other flowers. When she finished planting these in the box she hung the box up in the dining room, which also came into one of the subjects of the theme. Following the discussion of the rural schools, Herbert Lee Clark of Auburn, Ala., showed how a rural school should be built. He pointed out the value of having at least three rooms, in order that industries as well as literary subjects could be taught and to the end that the three rooms could all be converted into one and large audiences accommodated when the occasion demanded. The third speaker discussed the subject "Teaching Rural Handicrafts." This young lady, Miss Tommie V. Gauntt of Tallassee, Ala., showed the value of having handicrafts taught in the various rural communities. The main point of her paper was that out of shucks, of willows, of splits, of pine needles and other wood and grass, as are ordinarily thrown away, the farmer, if taught, could make a number of useful things. Alfred Xuna of Engcobo, South Africa, spoke on "Problems In Poultry Raising." He demonstrated to the audience how to test eggs, how to feed chickens and how to manage an incubator. He pointed out in his paper that Montgomery county alone had imported $260,000 worth of poultry products during the past year. Herbert R. Gaillard of Charleston, S.C., attracted a great deal of attention by showing how plumbing could be done in a rural cottage—that is, how the farmer's wife—and the farmer, too—could have water in the home and have their stock watered around the house rather than going down to the spring or brook. "Lessons In the Production of the Sweet Potato" was discussed by Emanuel Lisk of Brookhaven, Miss. This again was a practicable theme, applicable to Tuskegee institute and to the whole south. The point in this paper was not so much in raising sweet potatoes, which every one could do, but preserving them. The young man had on the platform a wooden structure, or pit, in which the potatoes could be preserved through the year, and also a wooden device showing how sweet potatoes could be sprouted earlier and thus get the crop printed earlier. "Serving a Rural School Dinner" was the subject of Pauline A. Wiley of [Name] CHARLES H. OIDSON, JR. Pine Bluff, Ark. Miss Wiley had on the platform a dining room table, which during her discussion she set up and decorated with wild flowers; then she read off a menu which sounded more like one at Delmonico's than at a rural school meal. Yet, as the young lady pointed out, the meal was perfectly possible, for everything she used was grown on the farm. The valedictorian, Charles H. Gibson, Jr., of Tuskegee Institute, spoke on "Training the Country Boy For Life." As Miss Scott had outlined each subject in her salutatory, so Gibson summarized each in his valedictory before discussing his own subject. He pointed out that boys and girls taught in the way suggested by these subjects would be happy, intelligent farmers, independent of city life, surrounding themselves with all the conveniences of any people. After the singing of the "Avilil Chorus" by the institute choir, under the direction of Mrs. Jennie C. Lee, the inaugural exercises began. Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Agricultural and Industrial institute, made the first formal address. He was followed by Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of the Western university, Quindaro, Kan., who spoke on behalf of institutions for the education of Negro youth. The principal elect was then presented and delivered his inaugural address. He was greeted with enthusiastic applause from students, teachers and visitors. It seemed really like welcoming an old friend, because Major Moton is not only well known at Tuskegee institute, but has been considered in a way as a part of the Tuskegee institute family for many years. With the short addresses delivered by Hon. Charles Henderson, governor of the state, and by the state superintendent of education, Hon. William F. Feagin, and several other distinguished visitors, the commencement season closed. THE AFRO-AMERICAN REV. & MRS.MARTIN CELEBRATE DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY REV. & MRS.MARTIN CELEBRATE DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY Commemorate Their Twenty- Fifth Marriage And Twenty- Sixth Pastoral Anniversaries Synchronously The twenty-sixth anniversary of the ministerial service of Rev. James G. Martin, and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the married life of Rev. and Mrs. James G. Martin, were celebrated at Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church on Wednesday evening, May 31, 1916. The reception was largely attended by the members of Payne and citizens generally. The church was beautifully decorated for this occasion by the floral committee of the church.

"The Negro race must not be treated as objects of charity nor granted any special favors. The colored people must be given a fair chance, but they should understand they must use that chance and toe the mark of their own responsibility as citizens," says the Kansas City Times in a recent issue. This is the central idea around which the Good Citizens' league, an organization for the betterment of the race, has been built. The league was organized several years ago and has an extensive membership in the middle west. It is about to be revived for an active campaign. The league is not political. Mrs. Maria P. Williams, a business woman, is president and national organizer. Associated with her in the work are Charles H. Callaway, an attorney; Otis Schackeford, author; T. W. H. Williams and Mrs. John Lang, J. Dallas Bowser, for many years a schoolteacher, is treasurer of the organization. Dermal Treatment 1510 Pennsylvaia Aveune.
