The Afro-American

THE AFRO AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 45 COLORED MAN'S PLACE IN POLITICS arner T. McGuinn Thinks Colored Mans Power Is On The Wane. Time To Wake Up And Fight Writing from Chicago to the Afro-American a few weeks ago, and after analyzing the political changes which were constantly occurring in the Republican National Convention and describing the spirit and atmosphere of the body, the attitudes of the groups of managers and the intense undercurrents of party interest that were coursing through that whole political fabric, I asked the question "What part have we in this political scene?" By implication, I promised to answer it. Free from any suspicion of taint of chicanery or fraud, the National Republican Party has spoken by its duly elected and untrammeled delegates. What it has written it has written. It is my firm conviction that its concrete judgments, as expressed in the policies of government set forth in its platform, disclose the highest order of statesmanship and patriotism and that the candidates nominated to bear its lofty and patriotic standard through the coming campaign measure up in demonstrated performance and justly anticipated promise to the necessities of the hour and to the very highest and best political ideals in the nation. Not one raucous or innarmonious note do I wish to utter against the splendid program formulated by the Chicago Convention. The thought in mind, written purposely at some distance from the scene which generated it, in order that the events with their relations and correlations might have to attain their proper perils of the highest concern to the. At the bottom of my mental operations, based upon facts ocularly observed lies the unescapable conviction that the time is now that the race, from one end of this land to the other, should begin to put its political house in order. It is not that that which has been done, but what port had we in the well-doing? If proper recognition and participation did not occur, upon whom rests the responsibility? If in the councils, of the National Republican Party, we are unrepresented, who is to blame? When Chairman Hilles let fall his gavel and announced Senator Harding as the temporary chairman, the writer was standing in a position which gave him full sweep of the convention hall. My eyes first rested on the stage where were assembled the National Committee and the party notables. Years ago, I had read with pride and real cestacy the graphic accounts of the "notables" occupying the stage at Republican national conventions. As I write, an old scrap-book lies open before me wherein, among the party chieftians occupying the spot-light, conspicuous mention is made of Frederick Douglass, John R. Lynch and others; but not a single dark face, nor a face of African admixture could be seen on the stage of this national Republican convention. Thus it was to the close. Frederick Douglass, the incomparable, long since has been gathered to his fathers, but John R. Lynch, former congressman, ex-paymaster in the U. S. Army and who had presided with distinction and dignity over a former national convention, still lives and lives in Chicago. It was the current rumor upon the streets of Chicago that this distinguished Republican had received no reservations for the convention. The Hon. Judson W. Lyons, ex-Register of the Treasury, the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, former Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, were in attendance, as was Col. Franklin A. Dennison, of Chicago, to whom Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of a former national convention, temporarily surrendered his gavel and other men of national importance, but not one of these was apparently of sufficient "size" to entitle them to representative seats. Why? Have we fewer votes than in the days gone by? Assuredly not. The vote has greatly increased and in States, where, in a measure, it is determinative. Not only has it increased but its quality and value have enhanced. Has our leadership kept pace with the growth of the individual voter? Has the policy of the National Republican Party undergone a change in respect to the Negro voter when it comes to recognition and representation? In rearranging our political houses these are some of the matters of the Negro voter. Our lack of representation in the National Committee is directly attributable to ourselves—our pig-headedness fatuousness, small, petty jealousies. The one State in all the country, where we had opportunity to elect a National Committeeman was in South Carolina. The majority of the delegates sent by South Carolina to the convention were Negroes. It was in their power to organize the delegation, name the membs for the various convention committees and elect the member of the national committee. They could have very graciously conceded to the white members everything but the national committeeship; but as usual they were all "generals," and intended to march at the head or not at all. The result is that the Negro vote of the whole country is without representation in the committee that conducts the affairs of the National Party. The obvious reason why we have no part in this all-important agency of the party is our own accursed stupidity, assininity, idiocy—or perhaps corruptness. It is all too plain that the part we had in the political scenes enacted at Chicago was negligible and that unless we bestir ourselves our political potency will be further reduced. But it hardly lies in our own mouths to charge white men with base political designs when with our own hands we corruptly or stupidly betray our own cause. In making this appeal to rearrange our political houses, I know of no place that needs it more than here in Maryland. Beginning with the National Convention of 1880, no delegation has gone to any Republican convention to name a president in which the colored voters of this were unrepresented, except the last. The old race leaders, regarding politics as force, won this recognition by their spurs. In very recent years this representation has bestowed as a matter of grace by the admitted party leader. Thus it is when a State Convention comes along that disregards the wishes of the boss and develops into a free-for-all scramble and we have no champions on the floor we are leftLet us begin now and see to it that the next State Convention that assembles in Maryland for the purpose of electing delegates or for any other purpose the race is adequately represented therein. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. George Garrison, of 1521 W. Fairmount avenue, celebrated the 25th anniversary of their wedding at thir home on Thursday evening.

Forty-sixth Communication of Grand Lodge Held at Americus. Americus, Ga.—The event which overshadowed all other attractions in this town the third week in June was the forty-sixth communication of the Most Worshipful Union grand lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of this state. Men high up in the work of the order from nearly every section of the state were in attendance. The relief department shows a healthy cash balance, and the Orphans home was never in a more prosperous condition. The children of the home are not only well cured for physically, but they receive the very best protection, training and education which any institution of the kind gives. The affairs of the order have for years been ably conducted by Dr. H. R. Butler, who as grand master has shown great interest in the work. He is courageous and never loses an opportunity to further the great work intrusted to his care. Clinton Seeks More Lucrative Field. Charles Clinton, harrister-at-law and a member of the Royal Society of Lincoln at Loudon, was a recent guest of John E. Bruce (Grit); Youkner, N. Y. He has been a successful practitioner in southern Nigeria, West, Africa, for some time. From Yonkers Mr. Clinton sailed for South America, where he expects to continue the practice of his profession. SCOTT PRAISES NEGRO SOLDIERS Tuskegee's Secretary Says That Graduates Of That School Are Now Fighting For U. S. In Mexico Tuskegee, Ala., June 22.—When informed by an Associated Press Representative today of the killing of 12 Negro soldiers, Emmettt J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute called attention to the fact that eighteen years ago when war was declared with Spain that the late Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, called upon the Negro people of the United States, and particularly upon Tuskegee graduates and former students, to volunteer for service in defense of their country. Hundreds of Negroes followed this advice. Secretary Scott states that there are a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates and former students in Mexico now as members of the various colored regiments. "Negroes," he stitches, "will rally to the defense of their country now as they have always done. As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24, of this year, was a Negro, the first in the Revolutionary War was a Negro. The Negro takes pride in the fact that it was the charge of the colored troops at San Juan Hill in the Spanish American War that turned the tide there, and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. He was with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake Erie, and 189,000 Negro soldiers served in the Civil War. "The Negro will be no less patriotic at this time than in former periods of stress and storm. He possesses a patriotism that rises above injustices and wrongs. He is American through and through. The President will find no hyphenates among us. He has never faltered in defenses of his country; he will not falter now. If President Wilson desires to employ sturdy colored men to defend the flag, he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal." MEMORIAL TO SOLDIER HERO Boston, Mass., June 28—The National Equal Rights League suggests and urgently advises that everywhere Colored Americans hold Memorial Metings in honor of the Colored Cavalrymen who were sacrificed in Mexico and died fighting bravely for the flag which does not protect them at home. It would be most fitting to eulogize those black heroes right now, and appeal for equal rights for their race. White Irish-Americans are eulogizing Irish rebels of Ireland. A citizens committee could be formed at once in every city. Boston's meeting will be in old Faneuil Hall, July 6th. President Eyron Gunner, Millburn, N. X., will be glad to get a notice of all such meetings. The following Associated Press Dispatch was published throughout the country last week.

Curtis is Making a Fine Record. Monrovia, Liberia.-The Hon. James L. Curtis, minister resident and consul general of the United States of America to this country, is winning his laurels among the natives here in very distinctive, diplomatic fashion. He has the gift of making friends and holding their confidence. This makes his task as the American representative much easier because of his open heartedness and fair dealings with the people without yielding any of his dignity as the mouthpiece of a great government. The African League, a twelve page paper of Buchanan, Grand Bassa; on March 23 last gave the following account of a trip Minister Curtis made with President Howard of Liberia to several points on the coast: On the 23d inst., when everybody was about his daily vocation—some at their farms, some at their commercial pursuits and some at their legal pursuits, etc—a strange and novel craft with four funnels steamed into sight, cruising along the harbor, and passed as though it were going to leave for the windward, but it suddenly anchored, and smoke came from both sides of it, which was distinctly seen before the sound of the guns was heard. It proved to be the American cruiser Chester, and it was firing a salute of twenty-one guns. His excellency President Howard and the Hon. J. L. Curtis, United States minister resident and consul general, were on board. They came ashore in the cruiser's launch, but the people were not expecting such celebrities in Grand Bassa. But it was found that truly it was a cruiser and the result of military matters, but even the president and the American minister accompanied the cruiser, somewhat spying out the land which Major York and his men must put in order and rid of rebellious Krus that have infested the coast for almost a decade. The distinguished guests came ashore and went to the home of the vice president, who himself was away on his farm. The mayor of the city was out on legal matters, the superintendent was eight miles away, but the news of the arrival of these dignitaries soon brought all of the absentees to the scene. WASHINGTON WAS RIGHT. Well Known Southern White Man Lauds Work of Late Educator. Referring to the struggles and successes of the Negro race in the United States in a recent address, Frank D. Rash of Kentucky said: "No longer does the gallant, bewhiskered southern colonel surround himself with cupbearers and lounge on the broad vanguard of his colonial mansion, all the white slipping the seductive mint julep from the frosted cup of silver, and, though the Kentucky colonel still lives, you will now see him donning cap and overalls and leading the forces of industry in bringing Kentucky's marvellous mineral wealth to the use of mankind or yet perhaps as the executive directing his staff in any one of the many manufacturing enterprises springing up within the borders of the commonwealth. "Much has been written and said concerning a so called Negro problem—a great part of this at long distance—and it may be that the first hand experiences and observation of a southerner may be of interest. As respects the completeness of information of many writers on this subject, the average southerner cannot avoid regarding some statements as did the two old Irish ladies. The archbishop had preached a fine sermon on married life and its beauties. The two old ladies, both with figures and families of ample proportions, were heard coming out of church commenting on the address. "'Tis a fine sermon his riverence would be after givein' us,' said one to the other. 'It is, indade,' was the reply, and I wish I knew as little about the mathew as he does." "In-expressing the belief that Negro labor is one of the greatest assets of southern industry it is devoutly to be hoped that such expression will not be considered in the light of an attempt to point out any commercial advantage of one section of the country, but rather a desire to present the idea of the thoughtful southerner of today and to pay just tribute to the worthy southern PRICE THREE CEN TESTIMONIAL TO BISHOP ROSS Prominent Pastors Of All Denomiantions Pay Homage In Honor of His Elevation to Bishopric The reception tendered Bishop I. N. Ross, of the Thirteenth Episcopal District, (West Africa) by the ministers of the Baltimore Preachers' Meeting of the A. M. E. Church, and the lay members of the church, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Monday evening, was a most pleasant affair. In addition to the addresses delivered by prominent ministers of every evangelical denomination and a number of laymen, a handsome silver water service was presented on behalf of the ministers of the Baltimore Conference. After exercises were over a handsome collation was served in the dining room of the church. Among those who made addresses were Rev. Dr. C. H. Steeplean, on behalf of the conference; Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, on behalf of the M. E. Church; Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander, on behalf of the Baptist church; Rev. Dr. L. Z. Johnson, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr., on behalf of the Protestant Church. The citizens were represented by H. S. Cummings; the medical profession by Dr. H. S. McCard; the schools by Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, and the business men by W. L. Fitzgerald. Rev. Dr. D. G. Hill made the opening prayer and Dr. P. W. Wortham presided.

Johnson; J. W. Sanders, P. W. Wortham, J G. Martin, Messrs. J. A. Stafford and J. H. Murphy.

It is said that there are a number of colored men in Wicomico, Dorchester, Worcester and Somerset, who are desirous of proving their fighting fitness. NO MIXED REGIMENTS FOR WAR SECRETARY BAKER Camp Brambaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa., June 28—With the Federal office's here working tooth and nail to whip the National Guard into fighting trim, a movement two started today with Governor Brambaugh at the head, to have the soldiers remain in the camp at least three weeks, declaring it would be nothing less than folly to send the men directly to the front. A dispatch was received from Secretary Baker, of the War Department, to discharge all colored men from the service. In explanation of the mandate, the Secretary stated that he'd not want any mixed companies, and that colored men could only join colored regiments. All who were discharged under this order were employed as cooks. YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN LANDLORD,IF You STOP, read THIS, and ACT at once he proposition we offer you be ow.

BALTIMORE, JULY 1, 1916 For many years, in fact, so many that the memory of the "oldest inhabitant" runneth not to the contrary there has been a general upheaval when it comes time to distribute tickets for the commencement of the Colored High School of this city. This year has proven no exception to the rule. If these tickets were sold they would bring a higher price than those of some of the best theatres. With all this there is a general complaint that the tickes get into the hands of persons who use them for their own personal benefit. Whether or not this is true, we have no means of knowing. We do know, however, that the complaint is general. The same persons get almost in the same places year after year, while others cannot get a ticket for love or money. However his may be, some one gets the tickets and uses them, as has been said, for their own personal purposes. The Afro-American Man was told by a very reliable person that tickets for the Training School Commencement were being sold on one of the streets of Northwest Baltimore, Saturday last, and the person selling them, or rather offering them for sale is a well-known benchman at a well-known City Councilman. If this is true then it is any wonder that the persons who ought to have the tickets do not get them, and the consequence is that there are many empty seats, while people who would be glad to go have no tickets. We understand that the same is true in some instances of the white school commencements. There are complaints against them too, but not so bad as among the colored would-be patrons of the Colored High School Commencements. It would be well if the city autorites would find a better way of distributing these tickets. It seems that it might be done thru the children themselves and the faculties of the several schools. This scheme might at least be given a trial to see how it works. THE CARRIZAL FIGHT. Testimony of the survivors as to what went on when the Mexicans opposed the advance of the Tenth Cavalry at Carrizal differs in some points. It was stated that Captain Boyd on horseback, charged the ambuscade of Mexicans, and again "Boyd dismounted to fight on foot." First reports told how Americans were mowed down by the "machine guns" of the enemy, the later ones mention only a single rapid fire weapon. In the main the reports are very similar to that made by Private Samuel Harris, C. Troop, Tenth Cavalry: "We were less than one hundred yards from the Mexicans when they opened fire. Our numbers were a little more than eighty and the Mexicans were close to seven hundred. Troop K was on the right-and Troop C—that is mine—was in front of that machine gun. That looks like the whole story to me. They just shot hell out of us." Hopelessly cutnumbered by an enemy lying intrenched, flanked by an unknown force, and cut down by a machine gun, the wonder is that any survivors are left to bring back tidings of the massacre. Yet some seventeen or more calvarymen have been picked up or have struggled half-starved into American headquarters with their stories of unexpected attack at close quarters, horses stampeded, desperate fight and escape on foot to find a way oak over seventy miles of Mexican desert. In the face of suen valor shown by colored troopers, we have little time to speak of the blunder that called it forth. A misunderstood order brought about the charge of the Light Brigade and made them immortal at Balklava; Lee's cowardice at Monmouth 138 years ago gave Washington an opportunity to win a brilliant victory; colored troops won renown at San Juan hill when Colonel Roosevelt's foolhardiness created the situation; General Custer's desire for personal glory was responsible for the engagement known as "Custer's last stand." Captains Morey and Boyd did not think the Mexicans would fight. Twice as many Mexicans as Americans might not have ventured to make the attack, but eight times as many did, and accepting all accounts, the result was never in doubt. Modestly enough Private Sam Harris speaks no word of the behavior of his comrades, their coolness and bravery. Captain Morey's report tells howthey laughed and joked in contempt of death while a storm of bullets fell around them; how the must have known that most of them were doomed, yet with deadly aim and coolness sold their lives dearly. This is the kind of thing the Negro soldier has always done, and the special significance is that this manhood is not lost. What he has done he can do whenever the situation demands. The glory for the Carrizal fight is the glory of the Afro-American. The Tenth Cavalry shows itself worthy of the honor accorded its brothers who fought at San Juan, and of its fathers who fought at Fort Wagner. SHAKESPEAREAN PAGEANT Some six thousand people were present on the campus of Howard University Wednesday and Thursday of last week to view a pagent representing the "Soul of Shakespeare." The participants, numbering fifteen hundred, were drafted from the public. The story, which consisted of two parts, was written by George D. Jenifer, and given under his personal supervision. Baltimoreans remember Mr. George D. Jenifer as a teacher of English and history in the local high school during the principalship of Dr. Waring, or as the son of Dr. J. T. Jenifer for many years pastor of local A. M. E. Churches. Several years ago Mr. Jenifer resign from the high school here to accept a more lucrative position in the Miner Normal School of Washington. The writing and directing of the pageant were assumed by Mr. Jenifer outside of his regular class room activities and employed all of his spare time this last half school term. The Washington school authorities are loud in their praise of the performance of the school children. Baltimore friends are glad of Mr. Jenifer's success, but are envious that it should fall to a neighboring city. Mr. Jenifer' was once a local teacher, the high community services he is rendering, could have been rendered here but we did not pay enough. Superintendent Koch is right, "energetic teachers usually find places elsewhere." RECRUITING NATIONAL GUARDS Reports from all over the country as to the progress made by recruiting officers in completing the muster of the National Guard Regiments up to war strength indicate that it is a fortunate circumstance that the Mexican situation can be dragged out until a force of at least twenty-five thousand fit for service can be brought to the border. It appears that many regiments have the old style uniform, about fifty per cent, without serviceable shoes, and most of them lacking in recruits necessary for even minimum strength. If all the recruits that have presented themselves since the President's order, could have been accepted, the difficulty would not be so great as it is. Just about half of the would-be soldiers are accepted, and the other half rejected on account of physical defects lack of stamina, poor vision, bad teeth or some other cause that would make them presumably unit for active duty. Willingness of able-bodied citizens to march for preparedness does not mean willingness of able-bodied citizens to enlist for preparedness. While the white companies are having trouble in filling their ranks, the colored divisions, notably in Ohio and the District of Columbia, were the first to report over one hundred men per company. The minimum strength is sixty-five. Just why this should be hard to see. Why any person can be rattle brained or dense to the point of fighting for the United States of America when he did not have to, is In Germany, at the outbreak of the war, the lower classes could boast that they were fighting for their country, that in enlisting the peasant boy would find himself beside the youth of royal blood, they would share the same hardships, the same blanket, drink from the same cup, and the one would succor the other if wounded. How different in the "land of the free" where here are "separate companies," removed from their white brothers in recruiting, in drilling and in barracks to a place behind, and occupying a place in front only when in sight of the enemy. The colored soldier has no reputation as a fighter to make. Whether in Europe, Africa or America, the world knows how he can fight. Under such conditions as obtain in the army of the United States, the colored man who enlist is not only a fool but a jackass. "Mother, don't forget to white shirtwaist and wash gloves. I must sew the bus night, and I don't have before the Fourth. You promised to go out to E for her house party, and gagement for every evening except tonight," said Ma she left the house on the office. The door had hardly o Ida, her sister, came run threw a half-finished dress back of a chair, and said finish this dress for me to no time to do it. Good-l- I must run or I'll be late. got" she called back as s DOCTOR MOTON. During the time that many opinions are being expressed as to how Major Moton should have replied to the insult offered his wife, Wilberforce, Union and Oberlin, the first two reputable universities and the last a conservative white college, conferred upon the principal of Tuskegee the degrees of Doctor of Laws. It is easy enough to deliver snap judgment of a man's character based upon some one act that he is purported to have committed, some statement he is said to have made, but when an ancient and tried institution of standing and intelligence looks upon a man, who has worked, and finds him worthy of receiving the highest honor within its bestowal, then it is time to take snap judgments for what they are, snap judgments, nothing more. How much more should this apply to Principal Moton, who received three degrees from three different and widely separated schools. In spite of these new honors into which we welcome Tuskegee's new principal, it may be taken for granted that they will make no difference in Major Moton. Like his predecessor, he may come to be known in time as Doctor Moton, but to most people his old title of "Major" will still cling to him. Secretary Baker of the War Department is a segregationist in that he does not want white and black soldiers mixed together. All colored soldiers must join colored regiments. That will be all righth if he carries the order all the way through and names colored officers for colored troops. What is the matter with promoting Major Young. to a Colonelship and having him command a colored regiment with all colored officers? We will not object to this kind of segregation. --- A few weeks ago the Baltimore American and the out-and-out Republican papers were saying most unpleasant things about former President Roosevelt. Now that Mr. Roosevelt has decided to support Mr. Hughes they are fulsom with praise. We have no patience with this kind of newspaper business. THE FORUM The Negro as a soldier has had ample opportunity to prove his worth and has done so with glory with one exception. During the Cuban rebellion against Spanish rule, no braver men nor a better leader could be found than Maceo, a Negro patriot, who had always the best interests of Cuba at heart. At the battle of San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American war, it was a Negro regiment that turned the tide of battle in favor of the American troops, and at other battles during that war, both in Cuba and the Phillipines, the Negro soldier distinguished himself. When endeavoring to subjugate the turbulent natives of the He Phillipines, who would not submit peaceably to American rule, the Negro soldiers proved themselves almost invaluable. The only one time they brought disgrace on themselves was at Brownville, Texas, when Companies B, C, and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at that time, while under the influence of liquor, attempted to shoot up the town, resulting in their ultimate dismissal from the army. This will ever be a blot on their otherwise good record. But as if to make amends for what their fellow soldiers did in the past, it is reported that the Negro troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, which was attacked by Mexican forces under General Felix Gomez, fought like demons and only took to flight when their officers were either killed or wounded and the enemy reinforced. So good was their markmanship in this recent engagement that General Gomez, the Mexican commander, fell a victim of their bullets. They have every reason to be proud of themselves and their conduct. In a warm climate, like that of Mexico, the Negro makes an excellent soldier, and it is hoped that in event of war being declared that the Baltimore Negroes will not be backward in offering their services to their country and will help maintain the good record already made by their fellows and thus reflect glory on themselves their country and their race. G. A. A Mother's Independence Day A beautiful Fourth of July Story "Mother, don't forget to iron my white shirtwaist and wash out my silk gloves. I must sew the buttons on tonight, and I don't have much time before the Fourth. You know I have promised to go out to Eleni Chase's for her house party, and I've an engagement for every evening this week except tonight," said Mazie Ross as she left the house on the way to the office. The door had hardly closed before Ida, her sister, came running in and threw a half-finished dress across the back of a chair, and said "Mother, do finish this dress for me today; I have no time to do it. Good-bye, mother, I must run or I'll be late. Don't forget," she called back as she went out of the door; "I want to wear it the night of the Fourth to the moonlight picnic at the park. No one noticed at the breakfast table that mother ate nothing. No one offered to help wash the dishes; but the girls primped, the boys joked and father read the paper and enjoyed a smoke until time to start to work. As mother stood at he table washing dishes, she was going over the number of things she was supposed to do that day, for her family, besides the usual house work and the meals. She wondered how she would ever get through. The Housekeeping Magazine had come last week and she had only a short half-hour to glance through it, no time to read one article thoroughly. She remembered, the' the heading of one article on "The slavery of mothers for their children." She did glance through it and the more she thought of what few things she remembered, the less she thought of the dish washing. Suddenly she stopped, and wiping her hands on her apron, took the apron off, threw it on the back of a chair and wen up to her room. She went over to the bureau, drew up a chair, sat down and commenced to view herself in the glass—quite an unusual proceeding for mother at any time, much less this time in the morning. She looked for a long time then said to herself as she jumped up from the chair, "I'll do it." the chair. That afternoon, father came home first—but five o'clock—but no mother was there to greet him. He called, and getting no answer, started to hunt for her. He went from cellar to attic no mother. Reed Ross had married Celia Boyd twenty-four years ago, and never in all that time had he ever come home and not found her there. This was the time of the year he came from the office early—changed his shoes for tennis shoes and hiked himself to the tennis courts to play with the fellows until darkness drove them home, both hungry and tired. He was so shocked and upset at not finding mother there and no note to say where she had gone or when she would return, that he forgot all about tennis and the fellows waiting for him. He went into the living room and flopped down into the comfortable arm chair, though he was something else also comfortable. might. He had no idea how long he had sat when Mazie came flying in, took off her hat and gloves and threw them on the table. And then she spied father sitting disconcertedly in his chair in the corner. The sight was so unusual at that time in the afternoon that she stared. "Well," she gasped, "are you sick, father; what are you doing home and where is mother?" "One question at a time," he growled. "No, I am not sick and it is my own business why I am home. I do not know where your mother is at present. I left her washing dishes, but I come home and find the house all upside down, the dishes not finished and your mother gone." "Oh, I guess she is upstairs," said Mazie. "But she isn't," said her father. "Do you think if she was in the house I wouldn't know of it?" Mazie started out to hunt mother, and after thoroughly searching the house had to acknowledge father was right. Soon came Ida, then the three boys all clamoring for mother and supper. "Come Mazie," said father, "get us something to eat." "What shall I get?" said Mazie. I don't know what mother intended to have for supper." "I dosen't look as if she intended us to have anything," said father. "For goodness sake get us something," said Ted, the youngest; "I am nearly starved." "I don't see where mother can be," said Ida. She never did anything so silly before." The girls went slowly out into the kitchen and as they looked around they found that mother had not only left the dishes unwashed but had not washed Mazie's waist or gloves or finished Ida's dress—the things were just where they had thrown them. They looked gloomily at each other and Ida cried, "I wish I knew where mother has gone. What will I do?" "Oh, shut up," said Mazie. "Things are bad enough without your balling. Come help me get something for supper." "What can I do?" said Ida sullenly. "Wash the dishes for one thing" said Mazie. "But the water is cold and I can't wash dishes in cold water" replied Ida. "Well heat it," replied Mazie. "There is the stove. Turn on the back burner and put the pan on it for a few minutes. I need this water in the kettle for tea and coffee." After many trials and plenty of cross bandage between the girls, with the help of the boys, who set the table managed to get together some kind of supper. It was a much demoralized family that sat down to supper without mother or mother's help. "Father," said Ted, the irrepressible By Margery Black youngest, "do you think mother could have gone down town and got lost or could she have run away with another man?" "I can't say, Teddy," said father, "where mother has gone, so eat your supper and don't talk foolish." "Who can eat this supper," said Albert. The coffee looks like muddy water and the eggs are fried hard enough for baseballs; and this steak; phew! I wouldn't like to say what I think." Pust then the bell rang and they all jumped up and made for the door, thinking it was mother. But they were doomed to disappointment. Ted, of course, got to the door first, and on getting it opened found—not mother—but a messenger boy with a telegram for father. Father signed for it and stood there with it in his hands, afraid to open it—afraid of, he knew not what. At last, picking up courage he tore it open and read aloud so all could hear. It said simply, "Am visiting sister Edith. Will be home July 5th, 1916." That was all but father collapsed. Maze picked up the telegram where it had fallen on the floor and re-read it. "What made mother go," said Ted. "Now I can't go to the baseball game on the Fourth, because I have no new shoes and no hat to wear." "Well, look at me," said Ida I. have no new dress and I can't fix up an old one now, its too late. Tuesday is the Fourth and I don't know what we'll do now." In the meantime mother was enjoying herself. She had simply broken the chain that had held her for years and shown her independence. She wanted to retur rhome that evening but her sister would not let her. "The idea of going back home," she said. "You've just come." "I know," said mother. I just ran off to surprise them." "Look here Celia," said Edith, "the world called pour marriage an ideal one, but after a short year things became stagnant. Reed was engrossed with business and you with society. Then came the children, and you allowed yourself to get out of tune with everything, until you have become so meek and run over by both Reed and the children that you think hey can't move without you. You make me downright mad. Whenever I go to see you, it is always the eternal grind of wash dishes, cook, hunt children's clothes, fix the girl's things over, wait on Reed and dear knows what else, while they gad about to first one amusement and then another, until I feel as if I would like to shake you. "It does me good to see you sit there with your hands on your lap, pretty white dress and shoes on, your hair piled high up on your head and rock, rock, rock, as though you enjoyed it." "But Edith," said mother, "Reed will be so angry and the children won't know what to do. I just ran off for a lark, intending to walk in on them after supper." "Let Reed be angry for once, it will wake him up and do him good. I declare, Celia, you are so provoking that I get out of patience with you. Let me manage this end of the business," said Edith. "Now see here, let's talk this thing over sensibly. You have been married twenty-four years and never a holiday, not even as much as a trip to the moving pictures. Look how long you have been out of things when you can put on a white dress twenty-two years old, and it is just in style. Do you realize, Cella Reed, that you are still pretty? Never since Mazle was born have I heard of you wishing for one single thing until I heard you say 'you'd love to take a moonlight trip dawn the bay.' I didn't know you could lwish for anything, you poor, spiritless woman. "Well, you are going down the bay and have a good time for once in your life and you had just as well play the game out while you are at it. I have fixed over one of my hats and got you a new linen suit, and if Reed Ross should see you he would not know you." The Fourth dawned bright and clear and mother was up early because it was to be a long, bright holiday. Only one flaw in her day's pleasure. She could not forget father and the children, but she was afraid to say so to Edith. The Fourth in the Reed household was quite another affair. Everything was at sixes and sevents and everybody was cross but Ted, who seemed to think it a big joke and was continually harping about "mother going on a strike." The bell rang while they were eating breakfast and everybody was p from the table and away to the door, thinking mother had relented and come home. But when the door was opened, there stood grandmother Ross and though it was not mother, it was a relief to see some one who could tell them what to do and grandmother never received such a hearty welcome before in her life, wondered what was in the air. She soon found out because they all tried to tell her at once of mother's running away. When she had heard all that they knew about it she laughed until the tears ran down her cheeks. But grandmother can usually handle any situation and straighten most tangles, and being a sprightly, energetic old lady, despite her seventy years, proceeded to straighten things out. it was a holiday, everybody was at home. Well, such a strenuous day. She made the boys scrub steps, clean up the cellar and yard and he at everybody's beck and call. She sent Ida upstairs to get things straight and father's task was to straighten up his den and get his books and papers 'n order. Grandmother and Mazie did the downstairs cleaning and baking. At three o'clock things were spick and span and they all sat down to such a dinner as they had no eaten that week. "Now," said father, "who seemed to have pulled himself together, 'I'll take a hand righth here. We have all been so engrossed in each other that we forgot all about mother. She has waited on us hand and foot all these years and she has simply rebelled, because we never thought she needed any help or liked any pleasure. We have been a very selfish lot. I don't blame her for running away. If we had all worked as she has, we would have run away long ago. "Now after dinner let us all get ready and catch that 5 o'clock train and we'll get out to Aunt Edith's at 6.30 and surprise your mother and Aunt Edith. Grandmother will go with us. Aunt Edith and mother had spent the day in the park. "I declare Edith," said mother, "I've been acting like a silly girl all day. Just to think of me spending the Fourth of July like this." "No it's not the Fourth of July, 'Cilly Girl,' it's Independence Day we're celebrating sister, mine; we're born free and equal to-day. All the things you have wanted to do from time everlasting, you must crowd in to this day and this evening. Think of something else, Celia that you've wanted to do for years, and couldn't Celia had entered into Edith's plans with a vim that would have surpris- the children and father could they have seen her and as Edith asked the question she laughed and said, "I've always kind a wanted -kind aw- wanted,"she began, but stopped. "Go ahead sister" said Edith, "Tell me what you want to do.", "To row around the lake, and take a ride on the merry-gorou-," she replied, "-But I thought it would look sort of silly for a mother of five children and all grown." "Well it doesn't look silly and it's lots of fun, and I'll go with you," said Edith. "Do you think," asked mother, "it would be alright for me to dance on the moonlight pic?Icie to-night?" too don't worry. When the folks see how young and pretty you look you won't want for a partner. "Now come on." In the meantime the Ross family had taken the train and was speeding toward the city. When Aunt Edith opened the door to the Ross family that evening she was more than surprised. After she had ushered them into the parlor, she started to go for mother Celia; but she was so quiet that Celia was coming to see what kept her and who had called. Great was her surprise to see the whole family and they were as much surprised as she. "Oh father!" said Malzie, "I didn't know mother was so pretty, just look at her, she doesn't look like mother at all. She is a darling, isn't she?" and they all agreed with her. Ted grabbed her and pulled her around in a whirl and was utterly surprised to find mother so light on her feet. "Oh, father," he cried, "I believe mother can dance. Isn't she grand, and he hugged and kissed her until she had to cry quits. They celebrated the evening by a trip to Brown's Grove and the boys forgot to hunt the girls to dance with as they were so eager to dance with mother. "We'd be jealous', said Ida, "if we were not so proud of mother ourselves she is just like a lovely big sister." They were a very tired but happy family that journeyed back to Aunt Edith's for the night. Ted exclaimed as he said "good-night." "It has sure been a dandy good Fourth." "No," said Aunt Edith. "A dandy independence Day, because your wother has just discovered that she is free and independent. The children were so glad to get their mother back that they laughed and said "hereafter the Fourth of Jly will be known by the Ross family as 'Mother's Independence Day.'" "Hurrah" cried Ted, "for mother's independence day, and they all joined him in a loud and glorious cheer for mother. He men pij en se pujnny jaquad "good-night." Then he took mother in his arms and kissed her over and over again. He said to her tenderly, "Why didn't you tell me little mother, do you think you could have trusted father, he would have surely understood" Motheronly patted his face and kissed him, she was too happy for worls. As he held her in his arms, the light that fell on their faces, as they looked at each other, seemed at once a halo and a lenediction and a promise of happier, better knitted lives in the future. MASONS AT CHURCH The M. W. U. Grand Lodge F. & A. Masons, held their St. John's day services at Whatcoat M. E. Church last Sunday evening. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. A.

NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE Representatives of the colored congregationalists, of New England, in a recent meeting in Brooklyn, N. Y., decided to celebrate the landing of the Pilgrims, at Plymouth Rock, which was the beginning of Congregationalism in America, on December 31, 1920. Dr. William N. DeBarry was the moderator. Shadrack George Williams who was graduated recently from the Pottswold Pa., high school, is the first colored boy to graduate from that school. He was the cynosure of all eyes as he marched in the procession of 75 other boys and girls. His father, mother and several sisters and brothers occupied a pew during the exercises. More than one hundred teachers from all parts of the State were in attendance at the colored Teachers' Institute at Little Rock, Ark., last week. Instruction in a number of subjects were given. The colored embalmers of Richmond, Va., have formed an association the purpose of which is to raise the profession to a higher standard and put all on the same foundation for the best interests of the business. A quintette of singers from Tuskegee, sang in the Y. M. C. A., at Reading, Pa., recently. They also appeared at the First Baptist Church and at the Christ Episcopal Church. They made a good impression. Laurence Eyre, of Chicago, has just completed an "all Negro" play, which he has named "Sazus Matzus," whatever that may signify. It is a comedy in three acts, and the first performance will be given in Atlantic City, this week. All white actors with black faces. The colored citizens of Wisconsin have formed a State organization to be known as the "Cooperative Development and Progressive Association." The purpose of the organization will be to hold annual meetings and discuss the various interests of the people throughout the State. The first meeting was held at Oskosh last week, and was well attended. It is said that A. N. Johnson, the well-known undertaker, of Nashville, Tenn., is the only colored man in the United States to own and operate an automobile funeral car. Mr. Johnson's establishment is also said to be the only race firm furnishing an entire automobile outfit entirely from its own establishment. The hearse is if pure white beautifully carved and ve y heavily draped. The daily newspapers speak of the establishment in the high est terms. The white society women of Austin, Texas want a separate prison for the colored women. At a recent meeting of the "Humane Society" an organization of white women, they protested against the white and colored people being mixed in the prisons of the State. They want the city to build a separate jail for colored women also to buy a farm and set the colored women to work, instead of having them staying in prison. Among the many charities aided by William P. Aldrich, of the firm of Worthen & Aldrich, Co., who died last week, was the Home for Cripples and Colored Women of the South. Mr. Aldrich was most generous in his charities. The colored Baptists of Beacon, N. Y., have purchased the church of the Colored Baptists of Wappingers, and will remove the same to Beacon as soon as arrangements can be made to do so. Considerable improvements will be made in the church after it has been crested on its new site. ANNUAL OUTING OF GUN CLUB The sixth annual shoot of the Original Rod and Gun Club, under the apsices of the Brown's Grove shooting Association was hotly contested by the local and out-of-town shooters. There were six shooting events with 7 prizes. First prize was won by S. T. Hill, of the Sandy Spring Gun Club, of Montgomery County; second prize won by Captain George W. Brown; third prize, Roger Nolan; fourth prize, Cup. George Brown. The silver cup donated by little Joe Welsenfield was won by Roger Nolan. The Dupont trophy for lady beginners was hotly contested for and resulted in a tie between Mrs. Stella White, and Mrs. Sadie Powell. Mrs. White granted the contest to Mrs. Powell. The Dupont trophy for men beginners will be shot for on July 4 at Cherry Heights. SCHOOL TEACHER HONORED A very pleasant surprise was tended Mr. Howard E. Young, a teacher of School 110, by his associates at the closing of the school on Friday, June 28. A reception was in progress when suddenly Mr. Wm. L. Wilson stepped forward and in a neat and appropriate speech presented his colleague a handsome traveling bug, Mr. Young responded in a feeling manner, calling attention to the splendid spirit that every member of the faculty had shown him in his two years of service at that school. The speech making was concluded by principal James E. Bantum, who thanked the teachers for their heavy cooperation and wished them a happy vacation. Those participating in the gift were: Misses Daisy M. Walker, Clara M. Thompson, Mary E. Neugoal, Anita P. Gaskins, Edgeler E芬enton, Nellie B. Gaskins, Mary E. Hughes, Emma E. Clarke, Viola M.

We invite you most carnestly to join us. Be one of us. WAR AND OUR SOLDIERS I've often wondered why our women should want our men to be soldiers or sailors of Uncle Som's. What amount of glory do they expect to derive from it? How much honor do they expect their men to win. glory is there in fighting for Sam anyway? at our Tenth Cavalry—the first to shed blood, and for ours, which no doubt seemed to five days, held their ground against overwhelming odds. Have you seen any big headlines like these: "Negro Troopers Cover Themselves with Glory," or "Our Gallant Tenth Only Defeated When Outnumbered 0 to 1," or Brave Negro Troopers Treacherously Slaughtered." Of course you have not and you never will. They tell us reports are none too definite and never will be. They write editors and say "Remember Carrizal." They tell us these soldiers fell in defense of the flag in a place where they had every right to be and in obedience to orders they never sought to question. They say "If Santa Anna was held up as the embodiment of cruelty, what shall be said of his successor of 1916?" In all the articles I've read, and I've hunted through papers and weekly tues of all descriptions, I have read the article that mentions with so that he public at large, are not already informed will that the little band of men who so valiantly and died, were Negro soldiers—true blue every one of them—and our men. A white high school girl, who had been reading the papers, and whose brother is a lieutenant in the Pennsylvania National Guard, said to me, "I hope our Guards will prove as brave fighters as our regular soldiers have proven, as Pershing's men are the bravest I have ever read of." "Your soldiers!" said L. "You mean 'our soldiers.' That little band of men you have just been reading about are Negro troopers, not white—they are 'our soldiers.'" "Come," said she; "that is a little strong." "Right," I said, "ask Captain H—will be able to tell you." "Oh well," she said. "They are brave men anyhow, but I never knew they had any Negro troopers." And there are thousands of other white people who are just as ignorant. We make history, but our children never read or study the brave deeds and many sacrifices of their own race of men. The towns and cities are hysterically wild today. In Ohio, buttons have been made with the inscription "My boy has enlisted, has yours?" I don't want to see, hear or read of our women being so hysterically foolish. We do not need any "hurrah patriotism." I ask us. If we have to fight we can part, but until that time comes just out of it. Mexico is a difficult country to travel. Its intense heat, alkali deserts, dust, difficult trails, not counting the soldiers lack of knowledge of the country generally, all tend to make things hard for them. B. C. Mecht in Leslie's says officers and men did not realize they were undertaking one of the most difficult campaigns in a difficult country when they crossed the border. Nearly all were unprepared for climatic changes. All this to go through and more besides, yet where is the honor? Did you hear of any of the survivors being promoted or decorated for bravery or — you hear of it? It is doubtful. Users, if your sons or husbands fight, then say to every one of Remember the Tenth!"

MOORE—Alverta H., In sad and loving remembrance of our dear Alverta, who died six months ago today, June 30th. Home is sad. God, God, how dreary. On you, dear Alverta we could always depend, And know we had one sincere friend, And of all the hours on earth with you spent. By her devoted mother, brother and sister-in-law. Tell me something of my mother As she rests beneath the sod, Love me as my mother did As she loved me next to God By her baby, Lillian. Death has robbed me of a friend Whom I loved and cherished dear, It was Alverta, dear Alverta Can I help, but shed a tear? Her devoted friend, Lillie M. Comegys. In loving remembrance of my dear daughter, Marie Orem nee Tilghman, who departed this life four years ago, June 26, 1912. There's grief that cannot find comfort And wounds that cannot be healed And sorrow deep in the human heart, That cannot be revealed, I did not know the pain you bore, I did not see you die, But only knew you slept away Without bidding me goodbye.
