SELF-RESPECT NEEDED Says Race Will Never Progress By Thinking Itself Downtrodden. Smithfield, Va., Aug. 30—Preaching the doctrine of better homes, better farms, better schools and better health the Negro Organization Society of Virginia is making a tour through the state this week, preaching the doctrine to members of the race, especially in rural districts, and helping the people to think about the things that mean so much to the whole race. The tour started Monday morning at Franklin, Va., where a helpful meeting was held, the Mayor of the city declaring that it had been the best thing that had happened since the war. In the party were Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Major Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute; Prof. J. M. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg; Prof. W. T. B. Williams, agent for the Slater and Jeannes Funds; Dr. A. A. Graham, Phebus; chairman of the executive committee Negro Organization Society; M. W. Connor, T. C. Erwin, field agent of the society; J. D. Pierce, district Negro Agent Farm Demonstrator for Virginia; Prof. Frank Trigg, president Virginia College Institute, Lynchburg; Prof. R. Dent, musical director Hampton Institute; Prof. E. A. Long, president of Christianburg Institute; Rev. L. L. Downing, Roanoke, and Charles Stewart, Chicago. The tour was made in the Hampton Institute yacht from Suffolk, where a large and interesting meeting was held in the Virginia theatre building. W. H. Crocker presided and the address of welcome was delivered by Judg McLemore. DR. MOTON SPEAKS The principal address was made by Dr. Robert R. Motea. This being his first time to tour the state since his installation to his present position the people were anxious to see and here Dr. Washington's successor, Virginians of both races turned out in large numbers and Dr. Moton delivered a fine address. His advice to members of the race was practical, sane and conservative. He made a plea for better home life of the race, and urged that in the home the health be looked after by giving proper ventilation, plenty of pure air. Of course he was for better farms and better schools and it was along this line that he touched the hearts of the people. This address was punctuated with obtursts of applause. The following morning the party moved to Smithfield where automobiles were used to convey the party out to the Isle of Wright Court House about seven miles from the city. The people for miles around turned out to greet the distinguished leaders and race representatives. They wanted to see the men who were helping to shape the destiny of the race in its country. Rev. Dr. W. B. Sprayle presided during the opening. Major Allen Washington made a short address, in taking charge of the meeting, over which he presided. As before the principal address was delivered by Dr. Moton. He told some of his personal history going back thirty years ago when he worked in a saw mill. There were some present who knew him as a boy, and knew of his struggles to reach his present position. Some plain advice was given to the people: "We can never get the respect of others unless we respect our selves." he said, "and we are anxious that you shall think well of yourself. You must believe in yourself, believe in your own possibilities. Learn to boost yourself. If you have a horse to sell and speak of it as being cripple lazy and the like, how can you expect to sell it? So with the individual or race; if you speak of being downtrodden, sick, you will never make any headway. We are not downtrodden. It is not necessary for us to leave the South in order to make it in this world. So many of our young men rush to the North, when they could remain at home and make good. I met a young man in New York, out of work, and I advised him to return to North Carolina and go to work. To this he replied 'I would rather be a lamp, post in New York than governor of North Carolina.' I am sorry to say that young man is now in the penitentiary. "We are too careless at times about things that are essential in life. Do not be afraid of work. Go to work on time and give your employer the best service. Don't be afraid of working too long. Ey your work you must increase your salary and win promotion." ADVOCATES SEPARATE SCHOOL Washington Teacher Arouses Irc of Satisfied New Yorkers Syracuse, N. Y., August 28—The eleven hundred citizens of Syracuse, whose children attend mixed schools were considerably startled last week by the utterances of an enthusiastic Washington school teacher in advocating separate schools. The teacher is Miss Lola Johnson, director of music in the Washington Normal school. Miss Johnson, when interviewed by a reporter of the Syracuse Post Standard expressed herself as an advocate of the separate school system. She emphasized the fact that the Negro instructor understands his race best and has no prejudices to overcome regarding his pupils because his sympathies are with them. She said too that it opened the way for the employment of many colored persons as teachers. "We have the same curriculum as the white people and our boys and girls are making strides in every branch," she said, in talking of her work. "The Normal School of Washington is practically the feeder for all the schools of Virginia, Maryland and the West where the Negro instructor is employed in any line and we have demands for our pupils as soon as they are ready for their positions." Colored people of Syracuse are much wrought up over the attempt of Miss Johnson's publishd interview as an attack upon the existing system of mixed schools, with which they are well satisfied. THE COURRIER MEET Pittsburg Weekly Stages Premier Athletic Event. Pittsburg, Pa., August 21—The energetic Pittsburg Courier staged an open meet at Schenley Oval last Saturday in which the Scholastic A. C. composed entirely of colored boys carried off first honors with ease. Harry Martin of Howard University won the 120 and 220-yard hurdles and Irving Howe, of Colby, was first in the 100 and 220 dashes. Both men carried the S.A. C. colors. The most exciting race was the mile relay, which Martin G. Burwell, Allen and J. Burwell won by a narrow margin, giving their club a total of 41 points. The Pittsburgh A. A. (white) was second with 20 points; Tioga A. A., (white) third with 8 points and the Monticello A. A., 4 points. CATHOLICS IN SESSION New York." August 31—The Catholic Federation of the United States, at its closing session here, had the following to say of Negro evangelism, in resolutions passed. "Solicitious for the spiritual welfare of the 10,000,000 colored people of the United States, we regard with satisfaction the splendid work being done for them by various organizations. We pledge our hearty support and very heartily commend all those self-sacrificing, religious persons who devote their lives so heartily to the evangelization of the colored people."

"FIFTY-FIFTY" IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE Educational Conference Declares for Hughes and Fairbanks. CONDEMN WILSON POLICY Hannibal League Confers with President and Assures Colored Support. Staff Correspondence Washington, August 31.—The Negro Educational Congress declaring itself for Hughes and Fairbanks and a small delegation of colored men telling President Wilson that they are with him are among the outstanding features in politics as it regards the race during the past week. The Educational Congress, at its closing session last Saturday, held a lengthy debate over the acts of the present Democratic administration. Its general attitude toward the Negro since Wilson became President was strongly criticised and the party condemned for its shortsightedness regarding the race. It was pointed out out that under the Wilson regime the race had lost the Haitian portfolio, consular positions, the position of Register of the Treasury and other important posts. Segregation was also scored. HUGHES ENDORSED The Congress adopted the following resolution: Whereas the condition of the American Republic has been made almost intolerable in consequence of the Democratic misrule and graver than it has been in the history of the Government, and, Whereas the continuation of that party in power would threaten the existence of our most cherished institutions, and. Whereas that race progress has ever been retarded under Democratic rule, and. Whereas the splendid and patriotic record of the race in peace and war demands a fair chance. Therefore we appeal to the patriotic men and women of the race to give their united support to Hughes and Fairbanks for President and Vice-President of the United States. Not for the purpose of taking from any race of men their God-given immunities of human endeavor, but that we may at least enjoy an equal chance in the race of life under the flag of a common country. WILSON FLATTERED A delegation claiming to represent the Hannibal National Negro Democratic League called on the President Monday and presented a long address assuring support for him and the national ticket. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., is the president and Rutus L. Perry, a Brooklyn lawyer, is the secretary. Others in the delegation were: Benjamin B. Smith, supervisor of colored schools in Washington county, Md. P. W. Jones, of Chicago, and H. H. Price, of Richmond, Va. Such well known men as Blair Walters, W. Menroe Trotter, James D. Carr, Fordinand Q. Morton, P. H. Warren, J. Frank Wheaton and Adam E. Patterson, who worked so ardently for the election of the Democratic ticket in 1914, were conspicuous by their absence. The support of the Hannibal League was pledged the President and he was urged to give out a message to the Negro voters of the country. This the President promised to do. Giles B. Jackson declared that "the message will satisfy the Negro voters of the country." Jackson is a well known lawyer who has always leaned toward the Southern Democrats. He was one of the chief promoters in the Negro exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition and in the Emancipation Exposition held at Richmond several years ago. DISFRANCHISEMENT CONDONED The address to the President congratulates the President on his foreign policy, scores "lily whitism" in the South, asserts that "the political status of the colored man is fixed by the statutes of the States and in accordance with the views of the majority of those enacting the law," and claims that "with respect to the colored man we feel that President Wilson can be relied upon to do the proper thing at the right time." The President is praised for renaming Judge Robert H. Terrell as a justice of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia and former President Taft is charged with removing all colored officeholders in the South and with giving thir places to Southern Democrats. As the military schools do not admit Negroes, a Jim Crow school for prospective colored army and naval officials was suggested. The federal government was asked to make an appropriation for the same, and the appointment of a commission of five, two of whom are to be colored, was advised in order to find a suitable location BAPTISTS TO HELP PEOPLE OF HAITI Lotts Carey Baptists to Help Educate and Evangelize Haitians. AFRICAN WORK REVIEWED Dr.J. Milton Waldron Reports 160,000 Natives Starving and in Financial Need Plans for extending the religious and educational work were discussed at the twentieth annual session of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, which opened a Sharon Baptist Church, Pressman and Stricker streets, Wednesday. The woman's auxiliary, which also met, endorsed plans to educate and evangelize the nearly two million peasants of Haiti. On of the most effective pleas for the country, was made by Dr. C. S. Brown, of Winston, N. C., in his annual address as president. He told of the visit that he, Dr. R. B. McRary, of Lexington, N. C., and Dr. A. M. Moore, of Raleigh, N. C., made to the little republic in March. He asserted that Admiral Caperton and Haitian officials had shown them every courtesy. Graphically describing Haitian conditions, he said that the great majority of the peasantry were ignorant had no access to schools and were superstitious. He said that Protestantism had made but little progress there. Speaking of the upper classes, Dr. Brown told his hearers that their children were educated either in Paris or London, and returned to Haiti unsuited for life there. Dr. A. M. Moore and Rev. Charles S. Morris, the latter from Norfolk, also made strong pleas for Haiti. The report of the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. M. Alexander, not only told of the convention's activities, but seconded Dr. Brown's suggestions regarding Haiti. A general view of the African work was also made. At the initial session addresses of welcome were delivered by Mayor's Secretary Lee, Joshua Levering, Rev. P. Carter Neal and Rev. J. H. Taylor. Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president of the New England Baptist Convention, declared that all colored Baptist bodies should cooperate in doing mission work. Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, head of the American Association for the relief of famine sufferers in the Cape Verde Islands, said that 160,000 native Africans there were starving and needed financial aid. Rev. L. G. Jordan, missionary secretary of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, told of the missionary work that his convention is doing. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs declared that colored Baptists did not adequately support their schools and that they should see that the same was the reverse. Reports from various committees were received Friday, one of which was from the committee on state of the country. This report not only reviewed racial conditions generally, but scored the segregation and other anti-Negro policies of the present national Democratic administration. C. T. Walker, of Gloucester county, Va., made a plea for young people and foreign missions on Friday morning. Rev. E. E. Ricks, of Roanoke, Va., led the general discussion. A missionary mass meeting was held at night, with Dr. Alexander presiding. Hon. Walker F. Roberts, the Minister of Public Instruction for Liberia, told of educational needs and conditions in his country. OFFICERS ELECTED. The woman's auxiliary met Thursday and Friday, with Mrs. A. E. Randolph, of Washington, presiding. The annual address of the president urged more interest in the cause of missions. The report of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Anna L. McGuinn, told of the work that the women have done during the past year, Rev. M. A. Talley preached the annual sermon to the women. The collections of the convention and, the auxiliary totaled $0,000 during the year. While the convention practically closed last (Friday) night, a number of the ministers will occupy local pulpits this Sunday. The convention re-elected all of its officers as follows: Rev. C. S. Brown, president; Revs. W. J. Howard, O. S. Simms, R. T. Reid, D. S. Samuel, C H Johnson, W. M. Moss, J. A. Whitted, vice presidents Dr. A. W. Pegues, Raleigh, N. C., corresponding secretary; Dr. W. M. Alexander, Baltimore, financial secretary; Rev. J. H. Hughes, treasurer; Rev. G. E. Reid, Cheriton, Va., statistician; Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va., auditor; W. L. Johnson, chairman of the executive board and Prof. Nelson Williams, secretary. SHRINERS ELECT DUNLOP POTENTATE Chicago, Aug. 28—The assembling of the Imperial Council, A. E. A. O., obles of the Mystic Shrine, the International Conference of Knights Templar, Interstate Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star and Grand Court, Daughters of Isis last week was an event not soon to be forgotten by the large number of visitors nor by the residents of the city. The city was gaily decorated in honor of the visitors and the spirit of good cheer was everywhere in evidence. The Shriners began their session with a memorial service at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Rev. W. D. Cook delivered the eulogy. Noble George W. McKoin the imperial potentate, presided. The business sessions began Monday morning. The reading of the minutes of the last session and the appointment of the committees took up the time of the morning session. In the afternoon the Imperial Potentate read his annual address which reviewed the activities of the order during the past year. At night an informal reception was held at the church of St. John the Baptist, presided over by J. W. Moore. Tuesday following the morning session fully 500 Nobles and their wives and friends accompanied the Imperial Council on a sight-seeing tour through the plant of Scars-Roebuck Co., of which Julius Rosenwald is president. Following the inspection, the visitors were Mr. Rosenwald's guests at dinner. At night the Shriners held a parade through the principal streets, concluding with a full dress ball at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Medinah Temple, of New York won the $100 prize in the competitive drill.

Sir John Spencer, of New York, was elected president of the International Conference of Knights Templar. ITALY'S WAR SONG BY A NEGRO H. T. Burleigh's "Young Warrior Causing Sensation. Harry T. Burleigh's "Young Warrior," in its Italian guise as "Il Giovane Guerriero" is today song all over Italy according to advices from that traditional land of song. Current Opinion, of New York, has this to say: "This is high honor for a Negro boy from Erie, Pa. "The Young Warrior" is not to be classed with "Tipperary," which is of a pretty cheap order. Burleigh's song is the product of a fine musicianly imagination, a talent not of mushroom growth but of thorough artistic development. When Amato sang the song at the Blitmore in New York city for an allied benefit, it proved to be the sensation of the evening. "Burleigh has been producing and publishing music of high quality for years. He has written many songs, some of them of racial significance, some of universal interest, but all of intrinsic musical value and genuine appeal. "Jean," one of his earliest creations is a favorite in many thousand homes and vocal studios, and his settings of native Negro melodies are perhaps the most faithful in spirit of the many that have been made. There is also his cycle of "Sarancen Songs," his five Laurence Hope settings, his "Passionale," his deeply felt musical tone paintings of Arthur Symons' "Memory," "A Prayer," the scene, "The Gray Wolf," his superb setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors" and his "One Year," a musical mood of the war from 1914 to 1915. Of more recent origin still, is the setting of Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier." When little more than a boy, Burleigh secured a national conservatory of music scholarship with the help of Mrs. MacDowell, the mother of the great composer, Edward MacDowell. He met Dvorak and though not directly under the master's tuition knew him better than many of his regularly enrolled pupils." J. LEUBRIE HILL, ACTOR AND COMPOSER, DEAD New York, N. Y., August 31.—Leubrie Hill died Wednesday morning. He is a well known performer. Author of "Darktown Follies," "Girls from Dixie?" and "My Friend From Kentucky." He is husband of Evon Robinson. Funeral Sunday. Baltimorean Responsible for Coming of Colored Players to This City. MUSE DESERVES CREDIT Legitimate Acting to Take the Place of Jig Dancing and Black-faced Comedian More than usual interest is attached to the opening of the Colonial Theatre next week because of the fact that a former Baltimore boy, Clarence Muse is responsible for the entrance of the enterprise into this city. He argued and fought for a theatre for colored people in his home town urging that it would be a success. The management had faith in his proposition and made the attempt. Mr. Muse, who is a product of the local high school deserves great credit for the bringing of legitimate drama to Baltimore. In an interview with a representative of the Afro-American, Mr. Muse said: "In the opinion of many, the stage is responsible for the lamentable moral status of some of our youth. It has witnessed only that form of acting thats ruggy, and imbibing these ideals, they are ruggy by imitation—ruggy in song, ruggy in dance, ruggy in behavior. This new step—the coming of good, sound, thoughtful, dramatic productions—will have the effect of counteracting this, and will offer an opportunity for a higher and nobler form of expression in conduct. "Many false conceptions of the capabilities and possibilities of the race are directly traceable to the black-face doomedian type of shows that we see ordinarily in vaudeville. However, with the development of the race in business and education has come a new epoch in stage life. More than this, it is an epoch in Negro history. "If it has been thought that the colored people are only fit for the jig dance and the clog dance, the legitimate drama will show that they can love ardently and devotedly; that the race has due respect for virtue and disdain for vice; that it can feel and tell thru drama the whole story of life and civilization accurately, thereby conveying the idea that we, too are part and parcel of the great social fabric, and not merely a race of minicies and merrymakers." Amenia, N. Y., Aug. 30—An important conference to consider various aspects of the race question and to discuss civic and economic conditions-growing out of the same was held here last week on the estate of Dr. Joel E. Spingarn. Not only were a number of the best known white men in the country in attendance, but colored men and women holding divergent views on the race question were there also. The meeting was called to order last Thursday afternoon by Dr. J. E. Spingarn. Prof. Kelly Miller and Emmett Scott opened an interesting discussion on "Education and Industry." M. A. Hawkins, of Baltimore presided. At the evening session the theme was "Industry and Education," with W. T. B. Williams and Dr. John Hope leading the discussion. J. C. Napier presided. Judge Robert E. Terrell called the meeting to order Friday morning and an interesting discussion on "The Negro in Politics" followed. William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States, and Bishop Alexander Walters took a prominent part in this session. "Civil and Legal Discrimination" was the chief topic in the afternoon, with George W. Crawford of New Haven, and Fred R. Moore, of New York, as the principal speakers. Major R. R. Moton presided. An interesting discussion on "Social Discrimination" took place at night, with Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Brown S. Smith reading the way. Charles W. Chestnut, the novelist, was in the chair. "Practical Paths" was the general theme Saturday morning, with Dean William Pickens and Dr. Robert E. Jonas as the principal debaters. R. R. Wright, Sr., presided. "A Working Program for the Future" was the topic in which James W. Johnson and L. M. Hershaw took the lead in presenting at the closing session. Former Congressman John R. Lynch wielded the gavel at this session. **GRAND CHANCELLOR ILL** George A. Watty, grand chancellor of the Maryland Knights of Pythias and one of the most prominent citizens in the city was stricken. It suddenly lyr Wednesday night. His condition at present is somewhat improv- Some Men I Have Know CHARLES BANKS Of Mound Bayon, Miss. BY HORACE G. SLATTER No qualifying adjectives are necessary to introduce Charles Banks, of Mound Bayon, Miss., to an intelligent Nog audience. Then, too, once introduced, the entire audience knows him. In my opinion, Charles Banks is about the easiest big man to approach. I know anywhere, and is as easy for his enemies to think they have located as for his friends. That does not mean that Mr. Banks does not know when to keep his counsel, nor does it mean that he talks too much. While he is frank, surprisingly so when the occasion makes it necessary, frequently the foet is that it is the "impression" alone that he has told more than he really has. Sometimes too, the party feels that he knows much more about the subject under discussion than Mr. Banks does. Ten to one the party doesn't, but he feels that way, just the same. feels that the man. As a rule, Mr. Banks has but little to say. He is a quiet sort of fellow, given to action rather than to talk. His busy career is replete with things accomplished, and a rule such men do not have time to talk. He rarely loses a word. A lot of manhood would delight in Charles Banks. He gives the impression of solidarity of character, of steadfastness of purpose, and of a full determination to hold on to anything, to the end. I can see all of this about Charles Banks now truthfully and frankly, yet there was a time when I honestly believed that Charles Banks was opposed to me without a reason, and as youngools would do, cordially disliked him. Before I had really determined what course in life I would pursue, I met Mr. Banks. I had no reason then to then to think myself any kind of an important character, and yet, he treated me with as much deference as if he were negotiating with an equal. It was about fourteen years ago in Jackson, Miss, after Mr. Banks had issued the call for the first meeting of the Mississippi State Negro Business League, that happened to be in Jackson, he answered in person my letter asking that the publicity work of the convention be placed in my bands. I knew then as much about publicity work as I knew about Charles Banks. I had a hazy sort of a notion that Mr. Banks was the most important Negro in the state of Mississippi and that he was the man one had to be extremely careful of. The distinct encouragement which Mr. Banks and other leaders in Mississippi gave me that summer at the Greenville meeting of the Business League, at other important gatherings in the state and later at the New York meeting of the National Negro Business League, influenced me greatly in the choice of the newspaper field as a life work. Mr.Banks never misleads one. If it is not always expedient and polite for him to let one know everything he is to do, he does not fail to make it plain when he does not see his way clear to be committed to any opinion or any one line of action. In other words, he knows when to "don't." He was very frank with me on several occasions and pointed out to me some shortcomings and sought to have me improve in my work very often. Quite naturally I construed the criticism of a friend to the opposition, and acted according to the construction I placed upon his attitude. There was a time, too, when I felt that Mr. Banks was withholding from me some patronage that I felt was right mine, but a conversation with him on that point convinced me that he was treating me as he would have treated any one else and that he considered the work belonging rightfully to the man that could best deliver the goods. There are many individuals who have pitted me in my work against James Stewart, and in my presence to me, would say many mean and infty things about Mr. Stewart. I was more of this in Mississippi than in any other state, with the possible exception of Texas. I knew all along that the same individuals would say things just now, that if any of those people happen to read these lines, that they will know how utterly contemptible much that they were saying made them appear to me and now little I regard it, even now. Charles Banks never did anything like that. He very frankly showed me where Mr. Stewart, much older in the service, did work that was much more satisfactory and much more acceptable, and I learned to profit by it. Mr. Banks' name will ever be associated with Mound Bayou. The mention of one brings the other to mind. They are natural comunitats. He has had more to do with its development than any other individual, and has had more to do with its success and has suffered more in its reverses than any one else. it would be quite natural if disagreements have come about in the development of Mound Bayou. Such disagreements, if there have been any, have never come to light, and have always been settled within the family. Mound Bayou has done what a great many other communities and organizations need learn—It has always presented its best side to the public, and if there has been any occasion to wash any dirty linen, that homely but respectable duty Has been performed in Mound Bayou's back yards. Press agent: publicity man and promoter: Charles Dane has been largely responsible for this. Whoever saw in a litter a report of any crime, or disagreement, or any unpleasantness bearing a Mound Bayou date line? I doubt if the town has ever had a suicide, judging from what one does not read, of Mound Bayou, it is a veritable front line Sunday School. Mr. Washington paid no man higher tribute in "My Larger Education" than he did Charles Banks. He considered Mr. Banks to be one of the most trustworthy men in the country, and counted his support and friendship a worthy asset. It is not the purpose to reiterate off printed statements of any character, and yet every one knows that it was Charles Banks' made Mound Bayou solid financially by his shrewd manipulation of the credit of the community and by the safe handling of the Bank of Mound Bayou. The determination of the Mississippi solons to enact such banking laws that would drive every Negro bank in the state out of business did not seriously effect the Mound Bayou Institution, for while it was forced to close its doors with eleven other sister institutions, it was Mr. Banks' energy and brought the Bank of Mound Bayou back into existence. In doing so he raised $11,000 of the capital necessary himself. He risked his own reputation while treasurer of the Masonic Benefit Association of Mississippi to save the reputation of a former official who had passed away. He was the guiding genius of Mound Bayou, and brought Mississippi squan-ely in line behind the great movement started sixteen years ago by Dr. Booker T. Washington that has done so much for the business and commercial life of the Negro. Mississippi was the first state to organize a state Negro Business League and has been the livest spoke in the wheel since its organization. The Mississippi League soon got down to business and determined to do something besides present bombastic speeches to the public and have an annual banquet. About the second year, among other things, the idea was advanced in the annual recommendations of the executive committee "that the state League of Mississippi ought to exert its influence to organize some large corporate industrial productive enterprise, with a view of practically demonstrating to the rank and file of our people, the power of intelligent business combination, and at the same time widen the avenues for race development, of business energy and enterprise." The subject was discussed more or less at every session until the 1908 session at Meridian when it was decided to build a cotton seed oil mill and locate the same at Mound Bayou. This was done, the company organized, stock sold, of which more than half is held by people residing in Mound Bayou. Charles Banks as general manager is the guiding genius of this affair. Much could be said of the struggles to float the stock and of the discouragements the men met in convincing the people of the state of the soundness of the venture. During the time money became scarce, Mound Bayou and other communities lost their Negro banks, but Banks never permitted himself to become discouraged. The man must be made of iron. He fought and pleaded and begged and bullied, when it was necessary, until he compelled confidence from all classes, so that finally the oil mill was ready for business. That was a gala day for Mound Bayou. Dr. Washington made the principal address and pulled the cord that blew the whistle, starting on its productive career the oil mill to which the Negroes have looked with so much confidence, and to this good day have not been dissappointed. In all of this success, Charles Banks, stood serene throughout the ceremonies, and afterwards went about his ordinary duties as if nothing had happened. Under his management the oil mill has proven its worth, and he continues at its head as general manager. As this is written the annual session of the National Negro Business League impinges. Mr. Banks as first vice president will have to call the League to order and presided during those hours until a president is elected. That will come as near being a duty he will shirk as any he confronted. I know how close he was to Dr. Booker T. Washington, how much they believed in each other, and how keenly he misses his leader. I have never seen a great man so overcome with emotion as was Mr. Banks, when the Monday morning following the announcement of Dr. Washington's death, he took breakfast, with me in Birmingham, both of us en route to Tuskegee. While he does not feel that his other duties would permit him to give attention to the many details necessary to carry the League on successfully as its president, it may be that Mr. Banks will be drafted into service. He has stated positively to me that he does not want the presidency of the League, and he generally tells the truth. There is much more that could be said of Mr. Banks. He has been very active in politics, even in Mississippi—has fought Lily-Whitism to a standstill in Republican councils, and has on several occasions been to the National Republican Conventions. He created quite a sensation by his support of Roosevelt in Chicago in 1912, but has never left his party. Stronger heads than mine have gotten together in the effort to cause Mr. Banks' undoing and have failed. He seems bullet proof and impervious to slander and mean talk. Better men and more competent critics than I have pronounced him one of the most useful and helpful men of the race. They do not know that any better than I, for any one who knows anything of Negro achievement, and the advancement of the race in the past twenty years, knows how much silent but efficient men as Charles Banks have played as they have developed this enterprise, as they have opened this avenue, as they have allayed prejudice and compelled respect by the sheer might of their intellect and brain. Fifty such men in the Negro race as Charles Banks, and there would be no race problem. I do not presume to dictate to the Almighty, but the production of fifty such men-would do much good in the direction, of making a paradise of this earth. Advertise, It Pays MRS. ANDERSON AT THE COLONIAL Leading Actress For Stellar Role —Attractions At Other Theatres. The best high class drama ever offered by the Quality Amusement corporation will be the offering at the Colonial Theatre commencing this Monday night and playing all thru the week with three matinees, Monday, Thursday and Saturday. "Within the law" is an attraction in itself that would ordinarily draw in any intelligent community, but the company will for the first time send here Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, the brilliant young actress who appeared in the leading role of the same play when it had such a sensational success at the Lafayette Theatre in New York. Mrs. Anderson only made her debut with the coming of the Quality less that a year ago, but her latent ability and rare personal charm opened the eyes of the amusement world hat among them live a colored young woman who could in so short a time be favorably mentioned along with some of the leading actresses of the present day. Miss Jane Cowl, one of the leading white actresses could not resist the temptation to see the little lady selected to play the part which added considerably to her (Miss Cowl's) fame. At the fall of the final curtain, Miss Cowl became enthusiastic over the portrayal by Mrs. Anderson and did not hesitate to voice the opinion that she gave as good an account of herself and better than many white women who had an opportunity of studying for months before appearing in any of the big plays. Mrs. Anderson only studied one week for her New York appearance, and it is reasonable to predict that after her remarkable work and with a few weeks more to rest and study, her appearance here will eclipse the opening at the New York playhouse. From start to finish the play unfurls thrill after thrill and holds the audience in a grip from which there is no release until the orchestra plays the finale. SMART SET COMING Another offering that should play to packed houses here is the Smart Set Company with their new show entitled "How Newton Prepared." The plot throughout this musical offering will deal with the antics cut up by the colored brother in Newton when word was passed that he must prepare to defend his home and country as war is impending and Messrs Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt have left no stone unturned in injecting all the humor that is possible in what is said to be their best production. New York and Washington look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the coming of the Smart Set and now that we have an up-to-date theatre here we, too, can well afford to make preparations for a warm welcome to this talented aggregation of fumakers. THE NEW LINCOLN The opening of this new playhouse for the discriminating people of the north west section awakened a response well pleasing to the management. The feature vaudeville act was an eight character playlet by Brown Demont & Co. entitled "In Chinatown." Professor Oliver, musical ventroloquist and Miss Clodius, pleasing buck and wing dancer were well received. New and thrilling acts and films are promised for the coming week. REGENT THEATRE Bert Williams in "The Natural Born Gambler" was the attraction of the week. The film was shown on Monday night and the theatre could not hold the immense crowds that wished to attend. Sweetie May and Billie Young in their singing and dancing act were very well received. Another film showing the best features in the life of colored people of the country was shown Friday and Saturday and received universal applause from the large audiences. Manager Moseley promises thrills for the coming week. CAREY DRAWS BIG Good crowds were attracted to every show this week at the Carey and capacity houses are expected next week. September 5th, Bert Williams will be the attraction, and on two days, September 6th and 8th, "The Colored American Winning His Suit" will be shown. The Bert Williams film is owned by a white company, but the Colored American film was written, produced and operated by the Frederick Douglass Company, all colored. Manager Cremen is especially anxious that his patrons see what their own company offers as an attraction. STAR THEATRE The "Colored American Winning His Suit" was the stellar attraction at the Star on Tuesday. Good audiences paid tribute to excellent acting of an all colored cast and to the faithfulness of the scenery portrayed. The singing, and dancing act of Green and Hatch assisted by Lillian Hatch proved a decided innovation. Coming next week, "The Yellow Menace." CHASE NEWS Chase, Md. Aug. 31—Mrs. Mary A.

COLORED PHYSICIANS The spread of infantile paralysis among colored and white children of this city and the subsequent appointment of a number of white physicians as additional health wardens have caused much comment as to why some colored physician was not named among the number. Practically every institution for colored people in Maryland receiving State aid has a white physician to look after the health of the inmates, one exception being the Home for Colored Girls at Melvale, where Dr. W. W. Winsey is the physician. The State Hospital for Colored Insane at Crownsville is manned by white physicians and the great majority of the employees are of the same race. Beginning with the present school year, Maryland is to have a white person to supervise its colored county schools. In view of the fact Maryland has a large colored vote, of which a not inconsiderable number use their ballots discriminatingly, the exclusion of colored people from civic activities, and especially those in which the race is virally concerned, seems all the more galling. As far as having colored physicians look after the race, there are a number of communities that Baltimore could profitably turn to for experience along that line. Philadelphia has a colored doctor to look after some of the colored public school children and in a recent typhoid epidemic at Birmingham, Ala., colored people were notified to appear at the City Hall and receive serum from colored doctors. The Journal of the National Medical Association has long contended that colored physicians should be attaches of municipal and State health boards and that they could thereby render better service to the race than whites. The colored warms of the Kansas City General Hospital are manned by colored doctors and nurses. The seventh annual report of the Hospital and Health Board of Kansas City has the following word of praise to say of the management of the colored wards: "You will find also appendaged reports and recommendations of Dr. William J Thompkins, superintendent of the colored department. Dr. Thompkins has been tireless in his efforts for the improvement of the hospital work, and we wish to approve entirely his recommendations, contained in his reports." In this municipal hospital colored and white physicians work side by side. In an address on "The Medical Phase of the Sputh's Ethnic Problem," Dr. C. V. Roman, the Nashville specialist and editor of The Journal of the National Medical Association, reviewed social, economic and civic conditions and suggested the following as an aid in remedying racial conditions: "We juggle with terms and confuse values. Facts are inadequately observed and improperly interpreted. We do not distinguish the soul politic from the body politic. Political machinations masquerade as economic forces and health problems are complicated by racial diversity. The ranking of politicians has confused the judgement of physicians. "Medicine can do much to help the situation. We should have colored wards of our public hospitals of the South. We should have colored Sanitary inspectors and colored physicians should have access to public hospitals and laboratories. "In other words, the medical and moral forces of both races should co- operate for the general good. To return to our metaphor, the South's trouble is parturient and not digestive. Her problems are socio-economic and not ethnic." Ther are 30 colored physicians here all graduates of reputable medical schools, and one of these could certainly aid the community in public health work. DRUNK AND DRUNKER "More than 3,500 colored persons from Baltimore invaded York yesterday and kept things moving all day. Hundreds of them were drunk. Many were drunk when they landed there and got drunker the longer they remained. A number of them were arrested, but all of them were sent out of the city, the mayor arranging it so that he could give them a hearing just before train time. "Disgraceful scenes were enacted in all parts of the city." The above is an account of an excursion given by the First Separate Company over the Western Maryland Railroad to York, Pennsylvania. It is taken from the Columbia, Pa. Spy. Allowing something for the usual exaggerating account of what takes place on a colored excursion, when the account is written up for the white press, the fact remains that the conduct of these excursionists gave the people of York a fairly dark picture of conditions here. It is quite true that many excursionists feel that an outing is a signal for license of all kinds, and that it is not an enjoyable occasion unless they "let themselves go." The fact that they are in a strange town, where they do not meet the reproving glances of friends they respect, seems to relieve them of all responsibility to be self-respecting and decent. This is true of excursions white and black, but our burden here is the blot off the good name of our city made by three thousand thoughtless and maybe careless colored folk. If the report of the Spy is true, and it is up to Captain Spencer and his National Guards to speak to the contrary, then they have simply made the mistake of "washing dirty linen in public." If some of us must be beasts, there will be less objection if we have our jags in the back yard, but it is a time for protest when we march through the streets of neighboring cities with the sign on their backs—we're from Baltimore. HANNIBAL NATIONAL NEGRO DEMOCRATS At this time when thousands of colored men who supported President Wilson in 1912, as well as many more who would have supported him this time had the Democrats been fair to the race during the past four years, are turning their backs on the Democratic party in national elections, it is amusing to hear of a small delegation tendering President Wilson the Negro vote of the country. A hitherto unknown organization styling itself the Hannibal National Negro Democratic League did this Monday, and the report has it that they had a long and satisfactory interview with the President. The railroad situation, the Mexican trouble and the European conflict were all forgotten, apparently, as the five spokesmen for the organization presented Mr. Wilson a long address of praise. The irrepressible Giles B. Jackson, thick-and-thin friend and apologist of the Southern white man, headed the delegation that told Hannibal Wilson that Caesar Hughes would not get their bailots. Southern disfranchisement and Jim crowism were virtually condoned in the address of the delegation, when the assertion was made that "the political status of the colored man is fixed by the statutes of the States and in accordance with the views of the majority enacting the law." In other words, the white men of the South who have robbed the Negro of the right to vote are justified in all legislation curtailing the rights of the race. We wonder if the President beamed approval. The declaration that President Wilson "can be relied upon to do the proper thing for the race at the right time" is submitted to Bishop Walters, James D. Carr and others who supported Mr. Wilson in 1912, for expert consideration. President Taft certainly did cater to Southern whites, but he did not allow Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Ben Tillman and their kind, to shape his course regarding the Negro, as Mr. Wilson has seemingly done. We know that colored young men are not given a chance to enter West Point and the Naval Academy, but if, as the Hannibal League asserts, the Democrats are the exemplars of equal rights, no "Jimcrow" military school is needed. The great army of colored voters of this country regard the present controlling Democratic oligarchy as their enemy, the Hannibal National Negro Democratic League to the contrary notwithstanding. The five members of this heroic body should read and ponder over the reasons given by the Negro Educational Congress for being against Mr. Wilson's re-election. LIGHTHOUSE TO RACE To the Editor: Please accept my congratulations on the twenty-fifth anniversary of your paper, which has stood out as a light-house to the race for these 25 years. Long may your precious life be spared to point the index finger to the people. I congratulate your efficient staff for giving your readers the special section of eight pages. I will hold mine as a relic in my library for I will need it for future reference. Yours for the race and progress, W. H. BATES Annapolis, Md. "HISTORIC AND CLEANOUT" To the Editor: I have just read with pleasure the 25th anniversary edition of The Afro-American" and I noticed with peculiar interest the unusual history of the sheet. Needless to comment here—the paper speaks for itself. Yet allow me to extend congratulations to you and to your official staff for this unique issue, which outlines the growth of the journal, as well as, gives in detail, some interesting points in the growth and development of our people in the city of Baltimore. I congratulate you also for your positive stand in promoting the general welfare of our people in this community and in the state. Your excellent sheet today is a reward for your untiring efforts, your thoughtful management, and your persistent fight for the right. Your paper has become a permanent fixture on our file and I wish for you a larger circulation and continued growth during the coming years. I am gratefully yours S. S. BOOKER TRUSTS GOOD WORK WILL CONTINUE Next week being the 25th anniversary of your valuable paper, please allow me a small space for just a few words. Accept my hearty congratulations. I trust the good work will continue. I have been a subscriber and reader of your paper for some time and when it fails to reach me, you cannot imagine how much I miss Yours for success SHOWS WE HAVE KEPT RECORD To the Editor. I wish to extend my congratulations to you on behalf of the 25th anniversary of the Afro-American. The Afro is really the only colored journal of the city or state that has triumphed amid the odds that our race journals were suspected to. I note with pride the sketches given of the progress made along the professional, educational, industrial, fraternal and social lines in Baltimore and also in the counties of the State. This shows that a careful and painstaking record has been kept of the above mentioned industries by our good and proficient editor. God bless you. May the Afro continue to spread the good tidings of the race from pole to pole. JAMES H. BRUNER. ABSENT MINISTERS AGAIN To the Editor: Please permit me, through the columns of your valuable paper to correct an impression made in the last week's issue by the Rev. Dr. Randall, reporter for the Baltimore District Conference, A. M. E. Church at Quaker Bottom, in reference to those who were absent. As far as my own case is concerned, conditions over which I had no control prevented me from being present, and this is my first instance in my nineteen years in the traveling work. However, I did send a letter to the Presiding Elder and had my steward pay all of the required assessments. I write this to protect my church as well as myself. I believe the most of those absent had good reasons and were heard from. Dr. Hill came immediately to me and informed me of the attitude of the brethren. This I could stand but a mention of it, in print with the false impression it carries, to my mind, is uncalled for. Dr. Randall has yet to learn the good sense of knowing how far to go. ROBERT E. FORD MARYLAND BOYS AT THE FRONT Eagle Pass, Texas, August 15 To the Editor: As you are well acquainted with members of the First Separate Company of Baltimore, we the undersigned members of the company, who are doing service on the Mexican boarder are all in good health and in good cheer and are the six colored men in the National Guard of the country doing duty on the boarder known by the Camp General to have the most sanitary and cleanest camp on the field. We are stationed on the Field Hospital of Maryland and we wish to say that we are seeing some service that is surprising to our race in Baltimore. We are in continuous contact with all kinds of dangerous things as rattle-snakes, scorpions, bull snakes, tarantulas and centerpedes, which are all dangerous. We were all forced to take to our horses one day after getting into a nest of rattlers while out on Riding Instruction. We also receive instruction in medical treatment and first aid. We are equipped with all necessary instruments for the same. The Kansas Regiment is stationed near our camp and are great friends. They held a prize fight here in which four of our boys took part with enthusiasm applause from the entire camp. We hope that this will interest you to publish it in your paper so as to let our people know what the colored men are doing on the border and how they are faring. Corp. LAWRENCE H. JENKINS Cook, WM.

Lee, of Newport News, the newly elected president of the Baptist State Sunday School Convention, declared that ignorance and dress were the crime breeders of the age and urged young people to shun both. "There is no excuse for ignorance among our people in this country," said Prof. Lee. "because everywhere the school room is opened to the Negro youth as well as others, and all can get a common school education. They can get a practical education, and be prepared to meet the demands of the age, and if one goes down he has only himself to blame. "We have entirely too many young men who want to 'get by' and do this without work. They try to be gamblers dress up look pretty and walk around the streets. This class brings disgrace to their parents and end up in prison or in an untimely death. We cannot reach them because they do not attend our churches, Sunday schools or B. Y. P. U.'s: They are found only in the low dives of disgrace. We hope the time will come when all such places will be closed." MR.

CIGAR able to stand the worry and strain of teaching to better advantage. ‘Don't think because it is your child that she. is-any, better or smarter than other children, be sure of her general physical condition and that she is in the proper condition to sit in the school room day by day. ‘As much depends on the mother as the teacher. Some people think that fa child is in the teacher’s hands and that she’ should mold the child's char- acter as well as: try to educate the brain. To a certdin extent a teacher is a child's ideal, but its the parents! place to co-operate with the teacher. Without hearty co-operation of the parents, the teacher's work will sel- @om amount to much. Do not find continual fault with the teacher, when your child is not making the progress it should, find out the cause, don’t blame the teacher until you’ really know. Nine times out of ten, if things are going wrong and your child not Iearning as it should, investigation will show that it is more your fault than the teache'rs. Don't believe every tale a child [chooses to teli you, Often it is told 'to hide some mischief of its own. "Don’t imagine that when you send ‘the child to. school in the morning [that your work is finished; see that Fhe leaves In time for school, and if he is reported late find out the cause. | If he falls back in his studies con- sult the teacher for every little error. [We are all linble to mistakes some- [times and when a teneher sees that you are trying to help her, she will ‘not only appreciate it, but will do her ‘very best for your calldren. ‘Things that should he done to pre~ pare children for school are— Teeth attended to. | Eyes tested. Chit vaccinated and provided. with vaceination certificate in case of new /ehitdren. Proper clothing should consist. of, ‘good high shoes, rain coat und hat, ‘pair of rubbers, a warm coat or sweater for cool fall days, and three ‘or four plain gingham or linen dress- es. For boys,.four or five good shirt waists and a’ serviceable dark serge or corduroy suit. The kind that usu- ally have two pairs of pants, Furnish your children with plenty of cheap handkerchiefs, plain neat ribbons and tles and they are prepared for school without worry to you or others. Do not send children to school dressed as tho’ they were going to a party. Make their clothing plain and comfortable and they'll think more of work and less of dress and foolishness.

A day or so later Alma and the contraétor pass that way. She is surprised to see a new sign that reads, Robert Winall, Attorney-at-Law."

CLOSING OF THE NURSERY WORKS GREAT HARDSHIE The closing of the Day Nursery, 953 Druid Hill avenue, under quarintine becanse of the sudden illness of two year old Viola Brown, thought by Dr W, T. Carr and, physicians of the Health Department, to be suffering from infantile paraiysis, has workec a hardship upon the working mothers who leave their children at the nur- sery while they are employed. Ac- cording. to Mrs. S. C. Fernandis, di- rector of the work, one mother lost her position because she was forced tc remain home with ner child and an- other white. family refused to employ longer the next-door neighbor of the nursery because of their fear of con- tracting the disease. Now that the case of Viola Brown is not paralysis at alr, according to the lutest findings of the physicans, Mrs. Fernandis expects a speedy lifting of the quarantine, and the resumption of the work of the Nursery.
