THE AFRICAN AMERICAN work of Chaplain Doe. VOL. XXIV. NO. 43 CHAPLAIN SCOTT RETURNING TO U.S. Will Be Assigned to One of the Regiments on Mexican Border HIS MEN WILL MISS HIM Twenty-fifth Infantry, Now In Honolulu Sorry to See Him Go. Honolulu, Hawaii, May 25.—Many expressions of deep regret are being heard on the part of officers and enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry on account of the fact that Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, has completed his duty with the regiment, on foreign service, and has been ordered back to the United States (the mainland) for assignment to one of the regiments ment to one of the colored regiments stationed on the Mexican border. The Chaplain is popular with the official and enlisted personnel of the regiment and they hate to see him leave. The Chaplain has gone beyond the ordinary bounds of his office and has interested himself in every phase of the regimental life where he could be of influence in directing the men to strong and manly character. He has taken a vital interest in clean athletic sports and was always one of the best rooters at the important baseball games. He has been the inspiration of many a young man's determination to improve his mental faculties while a soldier in the army and has conducted with marked success, a post school for the enlisted men of the regiment. He has built up a splendid regimental library, having solicited books in various parts of the country for this purpose, a strong literary society which bears his name is also one of the products of his labors. The Sunday night and mid week meetings, conducted by Chaplain Scott, are largely attended; sometimes there is hardly standing room in the Sunday night meetings, CHAPLAIN O. J. W. SCOTT and it must be borne in mind that enlisted men are not compelled to attend church in the army. One of the institutions which Chaplain Scott will leave behind, and for which the children of the regiment will always be especially grateful, is the annual Christmas tree for all the regiment. It is to be hoped that this celebration will be continued by Chaplain Scott's successor. Another thing for which the Twenty fifth will always remember the Chaplain is that he was ever on the alert to procure every public man who came within range to speak to the men of his regiment. Such men as Dan Crawford, the great missionary to Africa, Dr. Francis E. Clark, of the World's Christian Endeavor Society, Dr. Baker, leader of the anti-saloon movement in America, Brown and Curry, the evangelists, and other distinguished dignitaries, have spoken to the men of the regiment upon the solicitation of Chaplain Scott. The following is a clipping from the Honolulu Pacific-Commercial Advertiser "The enlisted men of the 25th Infantry gave an Aufwiedersehen for Chaplain and Mrs. O. J. W. Scott, at the 25th Infantry Hall, on Tuesday, evening, May 23rd, which was a most enjoyable affair. enjoyable experience." Chaplain Scott has been with the 25th Infantry for nine years. During that time he has labored incessantly in season and out of season for the good of the men of the regiment. He has seized upon any movement that would help the men mentally or morally and made use of the same for the bettermen of the soldiers of the regiment. It was due to the fact that the men really appreciated the life work of Chaplain Scott from the be- giving of his assignment to the regiment down to the present that they all joined so heartily in extending to him the farewell reception. The regiment showed their appreciation of Mrs. Scott by presenting her with a beautiful necklace set with rare jades. Mrs. Scott has been of great assistance to her husband, and has undertaken and carried through to success many socials, entertainments, etc., for the soldiers of the 25th. She has been one of the main factors in the maintenance of the literary club, having had charge of the music almost continuously since its organization, as well as taking part in many special literary and musical entertainments. "Chaplain Scott is one of the ablest men of his race in America, and second to none in his profession as a minister of the Gospel. He is a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan University and of Drew Theological Seminary; a Bachelor of Oratory and Doctor of Sacred Theology of Denver University. Payne University has the honor of conferring upon him the crowning degree of Doctor of Divinity. Chaplain Scott has occupied the pulpit as minister of some of the largest congregations of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. His successes have been remarkable. In some instances, as when he pastored the great Metropolitan Church at Washington, D. C., he brought credit to his denomination. He has the evangelistic spirit and a remarkable fact about his ministry in the army is that many are converted to Christianity through his efforts. There is no doubt that the Chaplain and his charming wife will be greatly missed by the men of the 25th Infantry. Contribute to Washington Memorial Through the efforts of Chaplain Scott, the men of the regiment have contributed to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, $177.00. The money has been frwarded to Emmett Scott by the Chaplain. For little Sarah Winchester, an orphan girl, whose mother was killed last year in Honolulu, Chaplain Scott raised a sum amounting to $437.00. The Court appointed as guardian for the girl, Mrs. Margaret Carson, of Robella street, Honolulu. Little Sarah is now at the Lanakala Home for Girls and she will be cared for and educated until she reaches the age of sixteen. Last year the men of the regiment contributed nearly five hundred dollars to assist Mrs. Clifford, wife of the late First Sergent Clifford, retired, formerly of Company K, 25th Infantry. The money was used to pay off the mortgage on the Clifford home at Frankfort, Kentucky, and it was certainly splendid the way the men rallied and helped this poor widow of one of their former comrades. Queen Lilioukahua Still Hearty Although she has passed her 73rd birthday, Queen Lilioukahua, of Hawaii, is still hale and hearty. Her Highness may be seen at every large social gathering of the territory and whenever the soldiers are reviewed in Honolulu, the Queen is usually seated on the reviewing stand with the governor of the Territory and members of her household. She bears herself with great dignity and commands the respect and homage of all who come within her pherence. She takes an active interest in many religious and charitable enterprises and is still looked upon by the older generation of Hawaiians as their beloved Queen. JOHN H. ALLEN Q. M. Sergt. Co.

MOVEMENT FOR CLEANER CITY Prominent _Citizens _Pledge Themselves to Help Better Conditions MAYOR MAKES ADDRESS Appeals to Citizenry to Co- operate in Making Balti- more Healthier. Outside of Bethel A. M. E. Church on Thursday night, Jupiter Pluvius did his best to clean up the city by the natural method, within, Mayor Preston aided by Assistant Commissioner of Health Howard and City Bacteriologist Stokes, made a personal appeal for cooperation in the crusade which is to make Baltimore the cleanest and most healthful city in the United States. In response to the official call of the city's chief executive, addresses were made by Rev. A. L. Gaines, Mr. Harry T. Pratt, chairman of the committee, Mrs. S. C. Fernandis, executive secretary of the Women's Cooperative Civic League and Vice Principal D. O. W. Holmes, of the High School, and at the conclusion of the meeting, the audience arose, and led by Rev. J. W. Sanders, pledged definite activity in the municipal campaign. Prof. Holmes, in his address, said in part: "After hearing the enthusiastic statements of the head of he city government in the person of His Honor, Mayor Preston, seconded and endorsed by his co-workers and advisers in charge of the department of health, surely there can be no individual in the audience so dead, no citizen so unpatriotic as to refuse to join heart and soul in the movement which this meeting here tonight is designed to launch and encourage. "But they tell us that "cleanliness is next to godliness." This being so, the colored people of this community can insure the city fathers the most enthusiastic cooperation in this movement. For, judging by our religious enthusiasm, we probably surpass any other people in godliness. And I am safe in predicting that when the movement is properly advertised and its meaning sufficiently well understood, we will be found doing our full duty in this clean-up crusade, and showing by the results obtained that we really believe that cleanliness is next to Godliness. "I want to impress it upon you that this is a movement whose responsibility rests not with the Mayor and City Council; not with the health commissioners; nor with the doctors, the preachers, the teachers, the social workers, or any other one group. Its success rests with the citizens individually and collectively." "The experts on the subject of health have explained to you how disease and filth go together. How dirty alleys, dirty streets, dirty yards and dirty houses harbor a host of invisible enemies which are a constant menace not only to the persons immediately concerned but to the entire community. Enemies which take a toll of life in the big cities of the world so vast as to make the frightful sacrifice of human life on the battlefields of Europe look small in comparison. Clean, sweet-smelling houses and yards would be worth while if they yielded nothing more than the personal satisfaction and joy which the clean and beautiful accord. But when in addition to this pleasure, these things mean life to the babies, health to the children, burden and sorrow lifted from the hearts of thousands of mothers; care and expense lifted from the shoulders of thousands of fathers: greater efficiency and more happiness for all—when cleanliness means these things, then any person of thinking age, who does not hearten to the call of the clean city crusade is criminally negligent to say the very least." The clean city campaign pledge offered by Mrs. Fernandis was: "I hereby pledge definite activity in this great municipal campaign for a cleaner and more healthful Baltimore, through a careful study of the literature circulated by His Honor, the Mayor, for general enlightenment on the subject. "I will effect on my own premises to the extent of my power, a sanitary disposal of refuse, and the elimination of flies, rats, mosquitoes, etc. "I will maintain personally a hygienic standard that will fit in with the highest ideals of our city." PRICE THREE CENTS "I will seek to promote cooperation in the movement in my immediate neighborhood and in my various affiliations in the community, and "I will seek to bring to the obscure and neglected environments in our city such relief to existing conditions therein as will make the beneficial effects of this campaign for cleanliness and health reach to the humble citizen of our community. FIVE THOUSAND AT FIELD DAY All of the colored schools were represented, and the program was an interesting and varied one. More than a thousand pupils took part in the exercises, having been trained by the teachers of the various schools. The exercises consisted of a mass drill, folk dancing, wand exercises, marching and tactics, flag salute and singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the elementary schools. Pass beg, relay races were also given by teams of boys and girls. The pupils of the Colored High School took part in the program under the direction of I. N. Ross, director of physical training at the school. William Beamon won the 100-yard dash and the juniors won both the tug of war and the shuttle relay race. The athletic exercises in rhythm, given by 120 boys, were highly commended by discriminating persons in attendance. Judging by the comments of the thousands in attendance, as well as those who direct physical training in the public schools, the meet was highly successful and paves the way for kindred exercises. EXHIBITION AT SCHOOL 112 Parents and friends of School 112 were highly gratified at the showing of the pupils in the annual exhibit held on Thursday of last week from six until ten o'clock in the school building. In addition to the regular school work embracing the three "r's" woodwork, and cooking were on exhibition as the result of a shop and cooking room opened this year in the basement of the school. Many well finished articles, from whisk-broom holders to desks and chairs completely filled the room, and another room offered candies and confections, not to mention cakes, bread and appetizing meats. If there was any thought that these dishes were prepared especially for the occasion, perhaps by the instructor herself, the remark of one of the pupils was clarifying, when she said, that very evening she had made a veal roast at home like the one she had made for the exhibition; "in fact," she went on naively, "mother lets me do most of the cooking now." SETS APART NEW LODGE Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, of the Maryland Grand Lodge of the Knights of Fythias, assisted by H. M. StChair, of Cambridge, sept apart a new lodge at Marion Md., last week, composed of seventy members. F-lowing the setting apart of the lodge the visitors were tendered a banquet.

McDaniels, president; Miss Edgauer Fessenton, vice president; Miss Lottie Chase, corresponding secretary; George Sumner White, secretary; Miss Florence Matthews, treasurer. A reunion will be held next Monday night. The first part of the exercises will take place at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church followed by class re-unions at the high school building. PYTHIANS DEDICATE Dallas, Texas, June 15—At the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of the State of Texas, the $100,000 Castle Hall was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, orator and journalist, delivered the dedicatory address. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and Supreme Worthy Counselor Joseph L. Jones, also delivered addresses. Dr. A. N.

Rogers was elected grand keeper of records and seal and George W. Guest was elected grand master of exeququer. W. S. Willis was elected secretary of the endowment department. W. E. King, editor of the Dallas Express, who was a candidate for grand chancellor, was snowed under. NORMAL SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT Judge Terrell Addresses Graduates And Urges Study of Race Problem GOVERNOR SENDS LETTER Commends School as Factor in Race Development and Bowle, Md., June 16—That colored men and women should study the race question in all its aspects in order that they may counteract the erroneous impressions held by the whites, was urged by Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, in an address at the commencement of the Maryland Colored Normal and Industrial School yesterday. There were nine graduates. Governor, Harrington, who is in St. Louis attending the Democratic National Convention, sent a letter of cheer. The diplomas were awarded by Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald. Orations and essays were delivered by Prince A. Cooper, Miss Anita Wainwright, Miss Goldie Banks, Miss Mael Parker, Leonard B. Foote, Miss Rebecca G. Chance and G. H. Sembly. An excellent musical program was also rendered. Prof. S. S. Goodloe, principal of the school, introduced Judge Terrell, in an address recounting the achievements of the latter. Judge Terrell made a resume of the race question, declared that the coloured people themselves must be acquainted with their own problems and decried those who would say that the Negro question was a tiresome one. He said that the graduates should not only be interested in the general uplift of the race, but should take a part in church work. The new-fangled notions of the day were scored, the graduates, advised that his race would not be an insuperable barrier to success and that they had duties to perform which do not fall to the lot of the average white teacher. Governor Harrington wrote in part: as follows: "As chief executive of the State of Maryland, I take special interest in all institutions which tend to improve the condition and to raise the standard of citizenship of the colored people of our State, and I note with gratification the progress they are making along many lines. "A great responsibility rests up in the educated portion of your race, which in a large measure, holds the Negro's future in its hands; and I commend all steps that are being taken to raise the standard of citizenship of the race, and to better yourselves for useful vocations in life." The graduates were: Misses Edna Irehand, Manel J. Parker, Anita Wan-wright, Goldie Banks, Mary Mason, Rebecca Chance and Leonard Foote, Prince Cooper and G. H. Sembly.

AN APPEAL FOR SAFE AND SANE FOURTH OF JULY FUND The general committee of the Safe and Sane Fourth of July Celebration appeals earnestly to the general public to assist them in raising the funds necessary for the celebration plan-d for July 4th at Druid Hill Park. A considerable sum is needed to properly present the proposed program, and this money must be raised among our own people. The whites have already raised large sums for their celebrations. Let us work as well for ours. If every one will give a little the committee can realize the sum, needed. Last year a number of public-special-co citizens subscribed to the fund and we respectfully ask a continuance of their support. Some member of the committee may call on you. Please respond liberally. Contributions may be made through the general committee or sent directly to any mem'r of the executive committee, of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is chairman. ..Woman's Department.. BY MARGARET BLACK Every newspaper I've picked up for the past three months seems not only to teem with war news, but to be forever harping on the Negro and the color question. The special feature section of the Sunday newspapers devote whole pages to the whys and whereofres of the color problem. I have been wondering just why, and for the life of me I can't make out yet, what they are driving at, unless it is they have round out that much of their so-called pure strain tainted with Negro blood? An awful crime, isn't it? And who's guilty? Are they apologizing for the broad flat nose, thick lips and kinky hair so often found now among their race although the color is white? One day, not long ago, I sat talking to a white woman, and unconsciously looking at her boy—a child of seven years—whose nose was both broad and flat and his lips unusually thick. I said to her "Your boy does not look like any of your people." "No," she said, "Charlie is like none of us. He takes after his great-great-grandfather who was an Indian. I laughed and said "Oh, I see" but as a matter of fact I did not see and do not see as yet. I know people who are so very dark, and some, though blondes, whose hair is so kinky that it is hard to get the comb through to cut it. Yet these people say their foreparents as far back as can be traced were pure Anio Saxons. Then wherefore the taint? Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of the Carnegie Institution research department, considered one of the world's foremost physicians and authors, tells us that the play based on the "Hushband with the Negro taint" or "colored strain," as the papers put it, is an impossibility, also that the tense spectacular moment when the mother who will not longer be denied seeing her child, leaps from the couch, bursts from the arms of her husband, and discovers to her horror, that her baby is black, followed by an inhuman revulsion of feeling against her innocent child, could not have happened and is absolutely false, because as he says, and we know, if most of our white friends do not, "that Negro babies are not born black no more than white babies are born green, that a child can not be darker than the sum of the blackness of its mother and father." But he does not say, I notice, that the features can not be different from its parents. He has gone to great lengths to tell us about the color but I wonder why the learned Doctor says nothing of the heredity of the features that are inherited by the white race to such an extent that they will make the excuse that here is Indian blood in their veins, not Negro blood. Not satisfied with all this a woman newspaper writer goes at great length to say, in explaining to a foreign dramatic writer of note, that the lack of interest displayed and the poor following of the legitimate drama as expressed in European countries, is not that the white people of the country WOULDN'T SWEEP FLOORS FOR $7.00 A WEEK Gets Indignant When Told To Make His Start That Way The manager of one of America's largest drug firms said to me the other day: "I hired a sixteen-year-old boy at six dollars a week to carry drugs and act as a messenger. After fifteen minutes he quit. He insisted upon running an automobile. "I also employed a seventeen-year-old Negro boy at seven dollars a week. When he was told to help sweep the floor, he indignantly refused and gave up his job. "I don't have to sweep floors," said he." Indeed! Well, my kid, you will have to go some if you keep up with the boys, white or black, who did have to sweep floors. There was Frederick Douglass, born a slave and who never earned a dollar of wages until he was twenty-one. Yet he became an editor, orator and diplomatist of national note and died loaded with honors. B. K. Bruce, a other black boy who did more than sweep floors. He slept upon them, for he, too, was born a slave. But that didn't prevent his becoming a United States Senator and a man of wide renown. And, again, there was Booker T. Washington! Born in slavery, he was not paid as much as seven dollars a week until long after he had reached manhood, but before he died he had founded a great school and was one of the world's foremost educators. Not sweep a floor? Why, half the men you ever heard of had to sweep floors at seventeen and for wages a good deal under seven dollars a week. Let me name a few more of those floor sweepers. James J. Hill, who died this week, was glad to have a job sweeping the floor of a little store in Canada, which was no stumbling block to his future mastery of two thousand miles of railroad and $100,000,000. His son-in-law, even after graduating at Yale, began his climb to the vice presidency of the Northern Pacific on a salary of eight dollars per week. We owe the phonograph and the electric light to Thomas Edison, a very persistent sweeper of floors during his youth. John Wanamaker wasn't above dust ing off his own counters, but I cannot see that it stood in his way to becoming a merchant king THE TAINT. Way do not or cannot appreciate such plays but because of the antagonistic feeling it would create between the white and colored people, the latter not being educated up to the point, where they could grasp the meaning of the play without hard feeling. Take Shakespeare's plays for instance, especially the play of Othello, what great actors outside of Mantell and Booth took pleasure in playing Othello, the Moor?. Last Fall I went to the theatre to see "Othello" in moving pictures. The town has but few colored residents, and one-third of them were in the audience (6) among about six hundred whites. In the love scene between Othello and Desdemona, when he took her in his arms and kissed her good night, I thought one of the women who sat behind me would have a fit. "The idea of a 'nigger' kissing a white woman," she said. And yet, the entire cast of players was white. The woman I have just spoken of was a graduate of a northern university, her family wealthy, the men being noted lawyers and jurists. When it comes to the question or not being able to grasp a play, I wonder around whose neck the nooses would fall? If education broadens the mind and enables one to give things a different perspective, and brings people together on a more congenial plane, then I am afraid that some of our good white friends need to be educated all over again, because they, and not the Negro are the ones that fail to do the grasping and understanding, seeing the play simply as a play. Either their understanding is limited or their education was not broad enough in its scope. I think it an imposition that we are to be saddled with their short comings, and their lack of intelligence laid at our door. We may be dense in some things and because we fail to grasp their point of view (a poor one at best) we are deemed dense in a good many things. Withal we are generally able to appreciate the merits of a good play. I am, of course, not referring to such vile stuff as Thomas Dixon puts on the market. They surely cannot be classed as good "plays" because they tend to degrade rather than elevate. All of which goes to show the fear of the Taint. THINGS THAT WILL HELP SOME Have you burned or scalded yourself, then try covering with ordinary cooking soda and over this lay a wet cloth. Excellent. When hanging curtains, put a thimble on the end of the brass rod. on the end of the glass roof. In damp weather place a small wooden box of lime in the storeroom. It keeps the air dry and sweet, absorbs all dampness and prevents mold accumulating. Fruit stains online—Smear with pure glycerin and leave for an hour. Then wash stains in warm soapy water. Repeat if necessary. to sweep a floor at seven dollars a week will read a little history he will see that President Abraham Lincoln whose Emancipation Proclamation freed 4,000,000 Negroes, had dwelt in a home that scarcely had a floor. So that it seems that, next to being President, sweeping a floor is about the best job one can get. Who can tell when a fellow is going to sweep up fame and fortune with the dust on the floor. -Girard in the (Philadelphia) Public Ledger. WHO GOT THE LABORERS? Greenville, Pa., June 5—Recently the Erie Railroad Company brought in 46 colored laborers to work on the old pond, South Dock street. The train which carried the men was a long one, and the consequence was that the coach in which was the colored laborers was far down the street while the middle of the train was in the depot. When the Erie foreman went to get his laborers he found the car empty. The leader of he gang, who wore a badge, to show his authority, was also gone. It is surmised that while the upper part of the train was in the depot, some enterprising employment agent, from some of the local works reached the leader and induced him to take his gang and accept work in one of the local mills.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 17, 1916 "More Negroes Coming." "Another batch of Colored Laborers." These headlines from a recent Philadelphia daily savior of the days before the war. The fact is that the Pennsylvania is importing men from Virginia to overcome the local shortage of labor. The new high school project "on the way" and "favorably reported" by various committees of the City Council for the past nine years is enjoying its annual boom. This time the measure was placed upon the "third reading file in the First Branch." This remarkable progress since the resignation of Dr. Waring is encouraging. Until now the slogan of conductors on the United Railways has been "always room for one more; move up front please." But with the new traffic regulations in force, no one is allowed on the running board, and a seat for every passenger except during rush hours, the conductor's new cry will be "no seats here, take the car behind." Any one who has waited for a Wilkins avenue car can realize how encouraging this will be. The General Education Board is still giving large sums of money for industrial work and pitifully small sums for the higher education. Tuskegee and Hampton were given $25,000 each while Fisk and Morehouse divided the sum of $10,000. At the same time the white colleges received amounts varying up to $12,500. It does not seem to apply to white schools, but for ours the industrial work is apparently five times as important as the higher education. The roof of the John Wanamaker stores in Philadelphia is occupied by two large tennis courts, three courts for basketball, and a race track suitable for the dashes. We have no very large stores where such roof space is available, but we have dwellings in large numbers with roofs going to waste because we have not learned to use them. With the aid of a little carpentry work and some wire screening an extra room could easily be added to most dwellings, which altho not as convenient, would be more airy, freer from noise and dirt, and less expensive than an additional outside porch. THE STITCH IN TIME Safe and Sane celebrations of the Fourth of July have done much in the last five years to diminish the number of fatalities that resulted from the innocent use of firecrackers. Especially has the number of cases of tetanus or lock-jaw become measurably less, while the cases of slighter injuries have increased. It is very natural that the greatest number of hurts reported should be those of the place where we are most vulnerable—the eye. The National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness states that a large proportion of the cases of defective vision and blindness is due to accidents and neglect of proper treatment of the same. Accidents occur most frequently to children as the result of the careless use of sharp pointed play things, bow and arrows and the like, toy pistols, air rifles, and fireworks, which one did not think loaded and lighted. It is certainly bad enough that the great strain on the eyes from reading by artificial light is making of us a nation of spectacles, but it would be more unfortunate still if accidents to the eyes were not avoided by harmful playthings for children, by "keeping an eye on them" while they are at play, and by insisting that this Independence Day even more than last year shall witness only what is "sate and sane." Last year, under the direction of Mr. Harry T. Pratt, chairman of a general committee, Baltimore held its first "safe and sane" celebration of the Fourth of July at Drudl Hill Park. Athletic events, singing and playground exercises amused and entertained the thousands who came and spent the day's outing in the park. This year the same committee has organized for the purpose of providing a second celebration in the park. Members of the committee are soliciting funds in the effort to have a larger audience and greater number of features than last year. The city owes this committee a debt of gratitude for the excellent work it is doing. SYSTEMATIZE OUR CHARITIES In the May number of the Morgan College Bulletin, Dean Wm. Pickens makes an eloquent appeal for the support of the Day Nursery. He showed that it cost about $5.00 per month per child to support the institution, while but $2.50 is the most that could be received from each child per month. More than this only one half of the 275 applications for admission has been accepted. The Nursery needs larger facilities, and public contributions to maintain them where they are. The appeal must first of all be made to the public. "The colored people of Baltimore must be the chief support of this day nursery for colored people." It is inconceivable that anyone could see the work of the Day Nursery, and not realize that it is for the good of all the people, not expect to aid in its maintenance. But here is the point. As soon as the Day Nursery campaign has been waged, the Fresh Air fund will need replenishing; the Public Athletic League and the Playground Association will next make appeal, then Provident Hospital, or the Maryland Home or some other worthy institution that depends upon the public for support. It appears to the weary business man that his hand is continually on his nurse. How much more business-like, how much more convenient is the system of cooperation of all welfare work, recommended and carried out by the National Urban League. If all charitable institutions combined and presented a single annual budget, the response on the part of the givers would be more willing and more generous, and best of all, the work could be effectively provided for. Just as in our churches, schools and other public institutions, we must eventually systematize our charities; and to begin we need a trained worker at the head, whose business is to do that and nothing more. THE FORUM To the Editor: I presume that colored Progressives everywhere, as well as colored Democrats, and colored Republicans, with the greatest unanimity ever realized, will support and vote for Hughes and Fairbanks in the fall election. I do not believe that such a conclusion is due to the feeling that Mr. Hughes was the best man the Republicans could nominate. On the contrary there is no man in this whole country who is better equipped in every way, for the Presidency, Theodore Roosevelt. I am proudly grieved that Roosevelt was not nominated. Bu, however divided in sentiment colored the Democrats, it is a most happy that they are united, as one man, in the defeat of Wilson and the national Democratic party. It would be difficult to correctly and sufficiently portray the absolute "un-Americanism" of Mr. Wilson in his concerment with the rights and privileges and interests of his fellow-citizens of the colored race. His prelection promise of fair and just treatment of the colored people can hardly fall from our memories in the presence of his shameful non-performance. When we consider that in all the States of the North and West the colored voter possesses tremendous political power through the ballot, it is most reasonable to assume that such power and strength will be used to encompass the defeat of the man who introduced "segregation" in the departments at Washington: who turned Negroes out of office and who put white Democrats in their places; and, who treated poor little black Hati according to a far different rule from that applied to Mexico. At last we have an issue, which we thoroughly believe will result in bringing together in the closest bonds of fellowship all the colored voters of the country, in States where their suffrage is effective. Any honest and honorable man, more than any other one thing, dishonors, and disgraces "Americanism" may be eliminated and destroyed should be welcomed as a patriotic po THE AFRO-AMERICAN nortunity As never before, coordeed men,everywhere, should work with a zeal and good courage, in defeating a President who has proven a conspicuous patron of "jimercowism", segregation and disfranchisement of black Americans. LATE LITERARY NEWS "The Ethiopian's peace in History and his Contribution to the World's Civilization" is the title of a neatly printed pamphlet in board cover, by Rev. John W. Norris, D. D., a presiding elder of the Baltimore Annual Conference. Dr. Norris aims in this little book to give something of the contributions of the Ethiopian to the ancient and moderate civilizations. He shows how modern civilization has been built on the past and the part taken in the early civilization by the Ethiopian and his descendants. It is a very readable book and the price of it places it within the reach of all who have a desire to be informed on this very important question. The price is 75 cents and can be bought of the Afro-American Co., the publishers, or the author, Rev. John B. McCulloch 3437 N. Calhoun街, Baltimore, Md. RESIDENTS PROTEST AGAINST CITIZENS' CLUB A number of residents in the vicinity of Drudl Hill and Lafayette avenue are in a ferment because the Citizens Club wants to transfer its liquor license from 1714 McCulloh street to 1401 Drudl Hill avenue. Over 150 persons signed a protest, which was filed with the Liquor License Board this week. Dr. W. T. Carr, S. S. Booker, William B. Hamer, Rev. D G. Hull, Rev L. Z. Johnson and Rev Wm. M. Alexander are among the protestants. The petition recites that the new home of the club is but a short distance from the Western High School, that the Home for the Friendless is jus across he street and hat it is but a few squares from the Colored High School. The signers of the protest are among the best known men and women in the community, and nearly all are opposed to the liquor traffic and clubs. Some are said to have signed the protest under the misapprehension that a saloon was to be located there. The Citizens' Club includes in its membership some of the best known men in Baltimore, such as lawyers, physicians and business men. "We keenly feel the protest," said one of the most prominent members of the club. "Judging by the way the petition is worded, one would think that the club is composed of robbers and thugs. It is a mean thing to protest on the ground that the club is near to schools. The Maryland, John Hopkins, Eating and other clubs, Baltimore, and residential neighborhoods, and no one claims them to be a detriment. They have cafes for the exclusive use of members—not for the public. Our membership includes the highest type of men in the community and surely they ought to be a guarantee to sensible people. The protest will be heard in a few days. QUEEN'S RALLY AT The first Queen's Rally given by the women of Bethel A. M. E. Church attracted a large audience on Thursday evening of last week. The queens representing various nations, were gorously attired and the singing by the Japanese maidens in their "native" tongue was a feature.

OLD FOLK'S DAY AT AMES Sunday was observed at Ames M. E. Church as Aged Folk's Day under the supervision of the Mercy and Help Department of the Epworth Legae. The aged people were conveyed to the church in automobiles. The sermon was delivered by Rev. W. W. Lucas, and Communion was administered, following which dinner was served in the lecture room. The afternoon was given over to an old-fashioned experience meeting, after which the old folk were carried to their homes by six o'clock. EXERCISES PROHIBITED Through some unknown cause the exercises designed by the Primary Department of Allen Sunday School were prohibited, by the superintendent, Mr. Howard D. Brent. On the previous Sunday he received the program and approved of the same; then on Children's Day, when the exercises were to be produced, he publicly spoke in direct opposition to them. So the primary workers, to help help the disappointed pupils, prepared a wholesome collation on Wednesday at 5.30 p.m. They thank parents and friends for the interest manifested and keenly feel the depression caused them. p The Airdrome opened by St. Katharines Church, last year at the corp of Presman and Division streets, has reopened for the present season and is giving to its service. The seats, while in the open air, are under canvas as a protection from rain and dew, and the films are shown under the best and most refined influences. All the performances are for the benefit of the church and in view of this fact as well as the high quality of the pictures shown, should make its appeal to all lovers of adusesms. --- Cards are out announcing the marriage of Dr. Alexander A.

Being in a school is no new thing for him because he was called to take charge of the Fort Worth hich gchoo! in 1942. He remained there un- tillast fall, when the trustees of the school by the sinction of the Gover- nor called him here. ‘The people did not want him to leave, but the Lord directed affairs, and he is there.

Worth Advertising Pe SELL IT : NEW MOVEMENT FOR EDUCATION ABLE LEADERS IN THE WORK Much Encouragement Given Effort to Organize Students' Club by Members of the Lexington Avenue Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn.—The movement recently started in this city to form an organization to be known as the Students' club is succeeding admirably. The aim of the promoters is to have all the girls in the various high schools unite in one body for mutual self help so as to more effectively accomplish their work as students and also as a preparation for the larger and more responsible duties which await them as teachers and leaders in other lines of race advancement. The movement here is headed by Mrs. Addie W. Hamilton special worker 1 MRS. ADDIE W. HUNTON. for the general Young Women's Christian association and other Y. W. C. A. workers officially connected with the Lexington avenue branch of the association. The preliminary work has been carefully done and a permanent organization has been formed with a large membership. The officers of the Students' club are Miss Edna James, president; Miss Theresa Brooks, vice president; Miss Ida Collins, secretary; Miss Lucy Lark, assistant secretary, and Miss Thelma Marshall, treasurer. As soon as the club outlines the various phases of its work it will further increase its membership by having all the other girls of the grammar school become members. Maude Bulkley, secretary of girls' work at the Lexington avenue branch; Mrs. A. W. Hunton, Miss Chase, Mrs. R. P. Hamlin and others have given the girls splendid encouragement in their efforts to put the Students' club on a substantial footing. Mrs. Hunton is the wife of International Secretary W. A. Hunton. She is one of the most capable and best known of the women of our race engaged in the Young Women's Christian association work. Mrs. Hunton has been holding parlor meetings in the interest of the Y. W. C. A. in this city for several weeks, through which much interest in the association has been created. Among one of such meetings to be held at various times during the month of June will be that scheduled for June 10 at 1621 Pacific street. The Students' club movement has not only met with a hearty response from the girls, in whose interest it is being fostered, and the parents of many of the members of the club are showing unusual activity and have voluntarily offered to cooperate with Mrs. Dunton and the other leaders to make the Students' club a potent factor in the life of the community. Aside from the parlor conferences a mannheim mass meeting will be held at Memorial hall on Sunday, June 25. With such co-operation as mentioned above and with such able and experienced leaders as the club has it must succeed. It is believed that no movement within recent years having for its object the personal welfare of so many girls possesses such qualities for accomplishing so much real good as is true of the Students' club of Brooklyn. Competent Census Bureau Employees. The statistical tables of balletin 129 giving the death rate among the colored population in the United States were prepared by three men of our race who are employees of the bureau of the census—Mr. Charles E. Hall, whose assignment covered population and occupation; Mr. William Jennifer, agriculture and religious statistics, and Mr. Robert Pelham, morality and ownership of homes. The work of Messrs. Hall, Jennifer and Pelham bears the stamp of accuracy, painstaking and efficiency and is a credit to the department, themselves and the race. University at Richmond, Va., Close Term, With Brilliant Exercises. Term with Brilliant Exercises Richmond, Va.-The Virginia Union university recently closed with possibly the most brilliant commencement exercises in its history. The commencement season was one of much interest and satisfaction for both the student body and the faculty. Graduates and former students are manifesting a timely interest in the school. Like the president and faculty, they believe there is a great future work to be done for the race through Union university. The Rev. J. J. Wicker, pastor of the Leigh Street Baptist church, this city, preached the baccalaureate sermon. The largest number of students that have ever completed any course at Virginia Union received diplomas from the academy department. The class roll contained thirty names. Mr. O. A. Hawkins addressed the graduates. The speaker's discussion was based upon education, service and the choice of a right vocation in life as the real plan for happiness in life. "Splendid music was rendered at appropriate intervals of the program. Selections were rendered by the Glee club quartet and Mr. H. S. Brown, a graduate. The regular business meeting of the Alumni association was held and was followed by the annual dinner, at which a beautiful portrait of Dr. Nathaniel Colver was unveiled. This portrait is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Rosenberger of Chicago. Mrs. Rosenberger is a granddaughter of Dr. Colver. Colver institute, one of the precursors of Virginia Union university, which bore the name of and had as its first president this stanchion abolitionist. At the commencement exercises of the college and theological departments nine of the graduates delivered splendid orations. Mr. R. E. Blackwell, president of Randolph-Macon college, addressed the graduates. His discourse was a very inspiring one on the added responsibility of a higher education. The music rendered at these exercises was about the finest students have ever produced. A solo was sung by Professor C. E. Hadley. President George Rice Howey presented diplomas to and conferred degrees upon the following named persons: Candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts, A. Bayton, J. C. Carroll, C. S. Johnson, R. N. Lawson, J. L. Nixon and U. G. Wilson. Candidates for the degree of bachelor of science, J. M. Colson and W. H. Harris. Candidate for the degree of bachelor of divinity, L. L. McGee. Candidates for the degree of bachelor of theology, E. C. Johnson and S. D. Middleton. Candidates for theological diplomas, J. R. Cooper and E. W. Langon. Great progress in music is noticeable since the coming of Professor C. E. Hadley as a member of the faculty. Very creditable work has been done under his direction in the choir and glee club, while the quartet was better than it has been in the history of the institution. The university is evidencing its tendency toward general progress through ```markdown ``` DELONARD JAMES DELAWARE JAMES HOLD ANNUAL SESSION. The 67th annual session of the Grand Council.

Alice Johnson, POLITICS IN MINNESOTA. Attorney W. T. Francis' Candidacy For Legislature Arouses Much Interest. Interest in state and local politics in Minnesota has been heightened since Lawyer W. T. Francis of St. Paul announced his candidacy for the state legislature to represent the Thirty-eighth district. The fact that the candidate is a man of unusual ability and wide experience has greatly crystallized sentiment in his favor among all classes. Attorney Francis is a leader among our people in the northwest, highly respected and is one of our most successful practitioners. Mr. Francis was for twenty-seven years employed in various departments of the Northern Pacific Railway company. He began as a messenger boy and by diligent application to his studies steadily advanced until he was appointed an attorney and chief clerk in the law department of the corporation. He is a prominent member of the Odd Fellows and Masonic fraternities and was clerk of the Odd Fellows' supreme court for four years. Lawyer Francis takes an active part in religious work also. He has served as Sunday school superintendent and for many years treasurer and trustee of the Pilgrim Baptist church. He is a graduate of the St. Paul Law college JOHN H. BURKE and was attorney of record in many suits for the Northern Pacific company. He has practiced in the supreme court of Minnesota and was admitted to practice in the United States supreme court in 1912. As a member of the Republican central committee and secretary of the St. Paul organization of the state committee he has rendered valuable service. Mr. Francis was prominently mentioned a year or so ago for minister to Haiti. Mr. Francis was born in Indianapolis, Ind., and went to St. Paul in 1882 and, although youthful in appearance, has had a wide and seasoned experience in business affairs. He was married in 1883 to Miss Nellie F. Griswold of Nashville, Tenn., who is a national character in civic, club and social uplift work. E JAMES of the Order of Good Samaritans R. H.
