The Afro-American

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER --- WITHIN THE LAW" DRAWS BIG CROWD Mrs. Anderson, Charles Olden and Sidney Kirkpatrick Stars of the Play MISS DESMOND MAKES HIT Big Audience Demonstrates Its Appreciation by Repeated Curtain Calls. The Colonial Theatre was crowded every night and matinee this week with appreciative audiences that voiced approval and appreciation of the efforts of the management to bring to this city plays of a first class nature interpreted by an all-star cast of colored artists. "Within the Law" a modern four act drama from the pen of Bayard Vellers was the play selected for the opening week and the company without any shadow of doubt proved its adaptability for and capability of acting such a strong masterpiece in a way that rivals its handling by white actors. The play revolves around Mary Turner, acted by Mrs. Anderson, who is railroaded to jail following her arrest for the supposed theft of goods from the store of one Edward Gilder. A word from Gilder might have saved the girl, but he refuses, hoping to make an example of her for other girls in his employ with similar tendencies. Mary swears vengeance upon her employer, and on her release from prison takes up with a gang of crooks, reforms them to the extent of "stealing" but yet staying "within the law," and finally completes her plan of vengeance by marrying Gilder's son. How she wins over her crook-accomplices to her plan, keeps out of the clutches of the law and still lives on "easy street," affords Mrs. Anderson a good opportunity for a display of her extraordinary fine acting qualities. Sidney Kirkpatrick and Charles Olden have probably the leading male roles in the play, the former as Inspector Burke, of the New York police force, shows himself to be an actor of rare adaptability, taking the part of a browbearing, overbearing, rough neck police-head in such a way as to make the audience almost hate his brass buttons and blue coat. Kirkpatrick is able assisted in his "third degree" methods by Clarence E. Muse as Inspector Cassiday, whose "rough stuff with the crooks" brings vividly to mind his portrait of the roughneck Captain Clinton in the "Third Degree." Charles Olden as Joe Garson, a forger and crook wins the house by his pulky nerve and uneven fight against the "bulls" who seem bent on railroading him "up the river," and later shows his real qualities when he promises to confess to the murder of one of the "bull's stooppigeons" on their promise not to involve his friend Mary Turner and her husband. Arthur Ray as Glider's attorney and C. H. Decomathier, as English Eddie, the stoolpigeon, both have refined paprs that are diametrically opposite in character, the one being a refined lawyer and the other a refined crook. Both however are well acted and both give accurate porptrayals of their respective parts. Miss Cleo Desmond as a confidence woman and staunch friend of Mary keeps the house full of laughter with her keen wit and dry slang, and she proves herself an actress of exceptional ability. Miss Orma Crosby Boquet admirably portrays the part of the weak-willed salesgirl who steals and puts the goods in Mary Turner's locker. Miss Mattie Wilks makes good use of her part as Gilder's secretary, while Albert Knorl ably interprets the character of Gilder's spendthrift son, who marries his father's victim and makes her love him. A.M. EDITOR MITCHELL AROUSES IRE OF CITY OFFICIAL Richmond, Va., Sept. 7—Editorials in the Planet, Editor John Mitchell's paper, on the case of Policeman Cullingsworth, has excited the ire of the authorities and there is action against him and his paper for the circulation of supposed indecently phrased matter. The attention of the city and federal authorities have been called to the matter and it is said that, District Attorney Smith may proceed against Editor Mitchell for violation of the postal laws. WILL SUPPORT HUGHES New York, Sept. 4—Ralph E. Langston, formerly chairman of the executive committee of the Colored Democratic Organization of New York State announced today that he would vote the entire Republican ticket. He said he was opposed to Wilson because of theeh Admini traction's defense of the race segregation policy in the Federal Departments at Washington. MORRIS HEAD OF NATIONAL BAPTIST Thousands Attend Biggest SSION Ever Hld in the SOUTHLAND. CITY NOT LARGE ENOUGH Savannah Unable to Accommodate Hosts of Delegates and Vicitors. Savannah, Ga., Sept. S—Dr. E. C. Morris was again elected to head the National Baptist Convention. It is the largest session held for many years. People came by the thousands attend the convention, and it was soon discovered that the city did not have a place large enough to accommodate the Baptist hosts. In the delegation were doctors, lawyers, dentists, editors, merchants, college presidents and professors, teachers in the public schools, bankers —in fact every line of business trade or profession followed by Negroes is represented. They come narly 7,000 strong from almost every state in the Union. They represent a church membership of 2,500,000. Dr. Morris in his opening address said in part: "I am extremely glad of the privilege of calling to order this great convention of Baptists, who to me represent the most invincible force of Christians in the world. "Our coming together at this time and place is of far reaching importance to the Baptists of the entire country, hundreds of thousands of whom are now in their humble homes praying that God may direct us in all the deliberations of this meeting. "The interest of two and a half million Negro Baptists should be taken into account in every act of this convention, and more than that, the interests of a struggling race more than ten million strong in this country and many millions of black people in other parts of the world. "That you will be true to the trust imposed in you I haven't a yacht, but that the evil one may otter an unguarded moment get into lands, let me caution you to keep before you the important commission which you have, and seeing that a commissioned by such a cloud of women may we lay aside every sit and sin that doth so easily be us, and run the race with patience. Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D. o Philadelphia, Pa., made a report to the foreign mission board, and this was followed by the unveiling of monument erected to George Lille, the first Negro missionary to be sent from the United States to foreign fields. Lisle was a Georgia Negro and went from this country back in the days of slavery. Rev. Sutten E. Griggs of Memphis, Tenn., who has spent some time pleading for an educated ministry, reported for the educational board and submitted plans for the erection of a national theological seminary. Already the Southern Baptist convention has pledged $50,000 to help the Negroes in this plan. The national Baptist senate board made its report by Secretary J. M. Washington, D. D., of Heile Ark. Perhaps the most interesting reports were the publishing board and the B. Y. P. U. Prof. J. Harris, who has had in charge the publication of Sunday literature of Negro Baptists, made his report Friday morning. He told the legal entanglement caused by R. H. Boyd of Nashville, who withdrew from the convention last year under the charge of taking all the accumulations for the past twenty years. The officers elected were W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia, vice president at large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., recording secretary; Rev. A. J. Stokes, D. D., Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; C. H. Parrish, D. D., Louisville, Ky., statistician; Prof. M. M. Rodgers, Dallas, Texas, auditor. MRS. WALTERS GTS POSITION Mrs. Lelia Walters wife of Bishop Alexander Walters, he appointed a clerk in the immigration station at Ellis Island at $100,000. The appointment was made by executive order of President so it is asserted. It is regarded as important to placate the many coloreocrats who are threatening to support Hughes on account of the hostility of the Wilson administration to the Negro. Bishop Walters has been an insistent advocate of the political recognition of the race by the present national administration. Despite his arduous labors and promises to the contrary, his efforts did not bear much fruit. He was offered one or two big plums but declined, asserting that the episcopacy was big enough for him. Mrs. Walters is an accomplished woman, and at one time taught school in Louisville, Ky. She is well versed in public affairs and has been a great help to her husband. T. R. RAPS WILSON'S HAITIAN POLICY Lewiston, Me., September 7—Col. Roosevelt in his merciless scoring of the foreign policies of President Wilson, last Thursday, had the following to say of the action of the present administration in making a virtual protectorate out of Haiti: "It should be a cardinal rule of conduct in international as in individual affairs never to hit if hitting can possibly be avoided; but never under any circumstances to hit soft. Mr. Wilson has been engaged in continual hitting. But he has always hit soft. And whenever his opponent has hit back, he has promptly dropped his arms, stopped hitting, and taken refuge in platitudes about peace, non-intervention and humanity. "Where, however, his opponent was sufficiently weak, as in the case of Haiti, he had dropped these platitudes and has (with blood-spilling) intervened. Haiti did not behave as badly to us as Mexico behaved; but Mr. Wilson intervened, fought the Haitians shedding their blood and the blood of our troops, took possession, and now has our armed forces in control of Haiti and directing its Government. His course of action in Haiti can be defended only if his course of action in Mexico is unqualifiedly condemned; for such action was far more needed in exico than in Haiti. But there was a difference in the two cases and to Mr. Wilson it was a vital difference. Haiti was weaker than Mexico. No one waftraid of Haiti. DAUGHTERS OF ISIS OFFICERS Chicago, Ill., August 31.—The Imperial Grand Court Daughters of Isis, which held its session here last week was presided over by Mrs. Bescilla W. Smith, of Baltimore, and was one of the most successful sessions it has ever held. The reports showed that the Order was in good condition a number of new Courts having been instituted during the year. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Anna B. Groves, of St. Louis, Grand Commandress; Mrs. Frances Butler, of New York, first lieutenant grand commandress; Mrs. A. Goldston, Pittsburgh, second lieutenant grand commandress; Mrs. Allie Gillman, Indianapolis, grand high priestess; Mrs. Minnie Frazier, Washington, D. C., grand oriental guidesess; Mrs. Hattie Sherwood, St. Paul, Minn, grand treasurer; Mrs. Laura Williams, Chicago, Ill., grand recorderess; Miss Rosetta Rodgeth, Memphis, Tenn., first eremonial conductress; Mrs. L. B. Lrown, Richmond, Va., inner spy; Mrs. Susan Vaughn, St. Louis, outer spy. The retiring grand commandress. Mrs. Bescilla Smith, was presented a handsome monogramed watch for her faithful services during the year. The next meeting will be held in Detroit. PYTHIANS ATTEND CHURCH The uniform department of Knights of Pythias held its annual anniversary services at Sharon Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. A large number of the members of the department and an overflowing congregation listened to a very sable sermon by the pastor of the church, Rev. W. M. Alexander. The companies under the command of General Lewis E. Williams, assembled at the Pythian Castle, McCullow and Preston streets, and marched from there to the church. The uniform department was supported by the grand and subordinate lodges under Grand Chancellor George A. Watty and the grand and subordinate courts led by Worthy Councillor-Mrs. Catherine Burton. SEVEN FOOT GIANT TO WORK FOR HUGHES Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 7—Ned Branson, aged 23, 7 feet and 3 inches of colored man, garbed in jacket and overalls of faded blue and wearing No. 15 shoes—attracted more attention than an election parade when he alighted from a train in the Pennsylvania Station last night. Women gnasped in awe and children ran in terror to their parents as the ebony-hued giant anubled out through the waiting room. Ned was "held up" by a reporter near the exit. That is Mr. Branson felt disposed to stop long enough to find out why he had been spoken to by an insignificant white man only 5 feet 10 inches tall. He dispelled the haunting fears of a horrible fate that might befall normal humans who anger men more than 7 feet tall when he smiled down upon the newspaper man. Inquiries developed that Ned has come to Pittsburgh to campaign for Charles E. Hughes for president. The Tar Heel state giant confided that his business is advertising and that he carried sandwich board wherever he may be sent. Some idea of this giant can be gained from the fact that he weighs 270 pounds with a waist measurement of 48 inches, reach of 108 inches and legs 52 inches long. Some campaigner! GIVES $5000 TO C. M. E. CHURCH Winston-Salem, N. C.—Sept. 6—Last Sunday was a great day in Winston-Salem, a new epoch was marked in the Negro church life of the city, a new impetus was given the religious and philanthropic activities of the people. Dr. Rufus S. Stout, corresponding secretary of the Church Extension of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, came here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas in the interest of his denomination. He spoke with such eloquence and power that he reached the hearts of two of the wealthiest men in the city, Mr. R. J. Reynolds, the tobacco king, and Mr. P. H. Hanes another multi-millionaire. Col. Reynolds, after listening to this great race leader, gave him two lots worth $1500 upon which to-erect a C. M.E. Temple and then gave $5000 to assist in the building. Dr. ' Stout is being praised far and wide for securing this magnificent gift from one of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr. Reynolds pays to the colored people of this city thirty thousand dollars per week for labor in his mammouth tobacco factories. The ground breaking services for the new church were held Sunday at which time Mayor Eaton, representatives of white churches and Col Hanes were among those who delivered addresses. NOT WANTED IN HARLEM New York, Sept. 8—Will Supreme Court Justice Finch issue a temporary injunction restraining colored people from living on West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues? This question has become of intense interest of thousands of Harlem residents, both white and colored. The moving in of colored tenants at 214 West 136 street has caused the contention. It is contended by the whites that under an agreement made in 1910 no property owner was to take Negroes as tenants. PLENTY OF FUN ON LABOR DAY Amusement Promoters Garner Shekels From the Hosts of Pleasure Seekers. PARALYSIS HITS PYTHIANS Many Disappointed Because Health Department Stops Labor Day, or practically speaking, no-labor-day, was a high day and one grand holiday for the workingman, and any one else who felt that he would like to take a day off and enjoy some of the many amusements that were billed for that greatest of all holidays. There were excursions, both by boat and by rail, picnics, movie shows galore, dances, matinee and night, house parties, and the opening of the Colonial theatre, with an all star cast of colored artists in a thrilling drama, which taken all together or individually should have been sufficient to satisfy the yearnings of the most fastidious The Boy Scouts of the city carried four coach loads on the W. B. & A. electric line, @in a fraternal visit to their fellow scouts in Annapolis, while several hundred who had gathered to go with the Pythians were disappointed because of the orders from the health department forbidding such an excursion into Pennsylvania, which is one of the adjacent quarantined states. A big crowd witnessed the matinee performance at the Colonial and another big crowd turned out at night which was highly pleasing to the management who had done all kinds of advertising to make the show a success. The crowds at the Colonial did not prevent the Steamer Starlight from being loaded to the gunwales with pleasure-seekers, who were guests of the Doctor's Coachman's organization, and who enjoyed immensely the bay trip and the amusements at the grove. Baltimore's two premier dance directors and promoters, Profs. Purviance and Wise held forth at Pythian Castle and St. Mary's Hall, respectively. Purviliances' crowd overflowed into the reception and board rooms at the Castle, as well as the yard, where dancing in the grass proved a pleasing novelty. Prof. Wise added novelty to his dance by presenting prizes to the most beautiful damsels in attendance. And as a result, the school teachers and pupils out of work, lay abed next morning, while the more or less unfortunate workingman scurried and hurried to his daily task, forming excuses on the way for tardiness caused by aching feet and tired body. A TEMPERANCE MEETING A TEMPERANCE MEETING A very enthusiastic temperance meeting was held in Bethel A. M. E. Church 'Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, under the auspices of the Home Defenders' Association. Rev. C. G. Cummings, D. L., presided. After stating the object of the meeting he introduced Dr. J. C. Croggins, of Atlanta, Ga., field secretary of the colored work in the M. E. Church. Dr. Croggins in a very earnest manner impressed the women present with the great desire to help in the great campaign to make Baltimore dry. Other speakers were Mrs. M. F. Handy, Mrs. Emma J. Truxon, Mrs. A. E. Hitchens and Mrs. L. Z. Johnson. An organization to be known as an auxiliary to the Home Defender's Association was formed with Mrs. Mary F. Handy as president; Mrs. R. W. S. Thomas, secretary; Mrs. Mamie Griggs, assistant secretary and Mrs A. E. Hitchens, treasurer. A member from each church was appointed to cooperate with the officers as an executive board. The meeting was enlivened by singing of temperance songs led by Mrs. C. G. Cummings. The next meeting will be held Wednesday evening, September 13, at the First Baptist Church Caroline and McElderry streets at 8 o'clock. BUSINESS MEN HOLD MEETING At the regular meeting of the Colored Business Men's Exchange on last Thursday evening, a committee was appointed to gather statistics of the number of business enterprises conducted by colored persons in the city. The members of the committee are Messrs. Harvey R. Williams, Joseph L. Press, James F. Hall, J. Logan Jenkins and Levi Moore. According to W. H. Dodd, president of the Exchange, an effort will be made to get in touch with every colored business enterprise in the city to the end that the Exchange will be in a position to do the greatest amount of good. A committee was also appointed to arrange for a series of public meetings. At these meetings the people generally will be urged to patronize their own enterprises. The committee is composed of Messrs W. L. Fitzgerald, C. F. Parr, Elmer Brown, S. L. Burton and D. H. Murphy. PRICE THREE CENTS Extortionate _Prices _Charged for Poor Hotel Fa- SEASON SHORTENED Threatened R. R. Strike Causes Large Number to Leave Atlantic City, N. J., August 30. The season has been rather shortened in some respects by the fear of the proposed railroad strike, and in consequence a number of people have left rather suddenly for their homes, shortening their vacations to that extent. This has been a very prosperous season for this city, especially for the colored hotels and boarding housekeepers. Large numbers were drawn here by the Elks' convention, held in Philadelphia the early part of last week. Hundreds of visitors came, taking advantage of the reduced rates on the railroads to the convention, and the regular summer rates. That portion of the boardwalk, which the colored people have assigned to themselves and which seems to go as far as Walls' is crowded from morning till night, and visitors have little trouble meeting friends from their own home town on this famous highway. Just why the race has restricted itself to the lower part of this famous walk, still remains a mystery, for there are absolutely no legal restraints thereon whatever. And now we come to another phase of Atlantic City life that is not at all a pleasant one to write about, and that refers to the accommodation one gets there. We are certainly aware that the season is short and that the people in Atlantic City are not there altogether for their health, but the fact that one must pay a dollar a night for a bed to lie in and they are not always of the best, is rubbing it in a little strong. Not that one would not be willing to pay this sum or even more if the accommodations were up to the mark, but in most instances they are not. As to the accommodations at the eating houses they are a disgrace to a summer resort like Atlantic City. To sit in one place and wait for nearly a half hour for your order to be taken and then wait for another half hour before the meal is served is anything but pleasant for those who have to secure their meals at these places. We do not believe we are going too far when we say that Atlantic City does not boast of a real first class hotel or dining room. In some instances the food is good, when you get it, but the service is of the poorest kind, poor silverware and as far as the waitresses go, hardly anything that can be called service. Not enough help is probably the cause of the latter, but there is no excuse for the former. There are hundreds of people who go to Atlantic City who are willing to pay for first class service, but can find no place where they can get it. One house that for years has find the name of being the foremost stopping place in Atlantic City, can hardly be called first class with the widest stretch of imagination. Success will certainly crown the efforts of anyone who opens a modern hotel with up-to-date service for in this field they will have little opposition. The white people have realized the need of such houses and are putting them up in the finest style of architecture and blinding for the patronage of the very best, but the colored people seem to be retrograding instead of progressing along this line. Who, will be the man to have the courage and foresight to open a first class establishment and make money? With the thousands of visitors every year, there is hardly anything that can be called amusement except that furnished by the white people. It is true that there are a number of dances and entertainments of that kind, but no even a single "movie" in the place owned or carried on by colored people. Just why this is no one knows or even seems to care. The guests must furnish his own amusements or enjoy that furnished by the other race. Here again is an opportunity for some progressive man to make some real money by catering to the amusement of the Atlantic City visitors. One good thing, however, can be said of this place and that refers to its churches. These are well attended on Sunday, the pastors are earnest faithful to their duty and are making a strong effort to care for the spiritual interests of their own members as well as those who come there as visitors and workers. In view of the fact that the number of visitors to this famous resort is increasing every year, some of the things we have noted would not only be an improvement but an added attraction to bringing more and more visitors every year. Some Men I Have Known DR: HOMER C. LYMAN Atlanta, Ga. Superintendent, Department of Work among Negroes, International Sunday School, Assocch. Sunday School Assoc BY HORACE G. SLATTER Many agencies are at work for the uplift of our people. We must discount nothing, even though so much may seem unnecessary. Everything counts in the sum total of Negro accomplishment and Negro progress. It is a mistake to carry the idea that all white people are against the Negro. I have been particularly struck with the large number of broad-minded white men one meets in the South, and have sometimes wondered why they did not exert more influence than they seem to exert to prevent so much injustice to the Negro. Then as I pondered the situation, I have come to the conclusion that perhaps they exert more influence than I could imagine, for such white men as I have in mind, though sadly in the minority, are slowly increasing and unless there were some quiet but effective influence at work all the time among the white people, the class of that people that would rejoice at the Negro's undoing, would very easily accomplish its purpose. I have known among the white people of the South, among the newspaper men, among the ministers and some laymen, individuals who were as conscientious in what they had to say about race relations, who were as sincere in deploring injustice and as honest in seeking a remedy as any Negro leader. It is not going to be possible to change entirely the opinion of the average white man in a day or so, or even in a few years. Growth in nature is always slow. The best and most effective method, after all, is to change the opinion of the white man by changing the quality and the character of the Negro, by making him better, by making him more efficient, by making a finer type of manhood. We will then have less time and less reason to complain, for the white man will find less about the Negro to proscribe against. I am apologizing for nothing, but am trying to look facts in the face. It would appear then that those agencies that help the Negro best help him to hel phimself. Help him to realize wherein he can in some measure work out his own salvation. There are difficulties, of course, confronting the Negro who would help his own people, as well as difficulties confronting the white man who would help the Negro. First, the Negro has only to reckon the whole situation from the black man's standpoint, but he has to try to understand the white man's viewpoint. Can we put ourselves in his place? Then, too, I can see something of the difficulty of the white man who would help the Negro. He is yet a white man. I know some of them do try to get our viewpoint. It is easy to doubt if they ever do for they do not suffer as we do. I have taken this round about route to say something of Dr. Hromer C. Lyman and his work, one of the few white men whom I know well, and for whom I hold an affection that is extraordinary. He is an intensely religious man, but practically so. I do not know that I have enjoyed association with any man more than I have some of the early morning walks and talks we used to take whenever we were at Tuskegee Institute together. Dr. Lyman sees God in everything and comes as nearly living a consistent Christian life as any individual I have ever known. When he gets after anything he reminds me of the coach in the college game. He is all action, urging caution here, taking a chance there, a slide at the base. He gets the other home. "Did you ever follow a setter dog working with the bird?" he asked me once in a letter. "Such self mastery where the brain holds the instinct in check is simply wonderful. Talk about men being above the lower animals. Yes in some things." This in a letter from Dr. Lyman reached me in Asheville just after the floods, when out of money, sick and weary of the struggle. It acted like a tonic. He will never know how near I was to losing the grip I had maintained upon myself through all my adversities at the time his letter came. And so Dr. Lyman, as a representative of the International Sunday School Association, has taken up a work among our people that hitherto we have regarded as one hardly worth while, only fit for the little children, and of most use then because it took them away from home early Sunday morning. Dr. Layman has made the Sunday School count for something in the lives of thousands of young men and women, who have seen the practical goodness of it, who have learned what an influence for good it can be in their lives and in the lives of others. Through him the ministers have come to regard the Sunday School as a really important arm of the church. I do not mean to give Dr. Lyman entire credit for all that has been done for Negro Sunday Schools in an organized way. But I do think all will agree with me, that in carrying the plans throughout the South, in interesting the various educational institutions in the work as it has been planned by the International Sunday School Association officials he has done the lion's share. It was as early as 1908, when by invitation a number of very good men met at the home of Mr. William N. Hartshorn near Boston, in what was the historic Clifton Conference. Thirty seven colleges and schools, nine missionary organizations and twelve religious organizations were represented. Among its findings, the fourth is pertinent to this history: "That the Sunday School, when properly organized and conducted, is an effective agency for imparting the principles of the Christian religion and the saving knowledge of God's word." In view of this declaration the conference recommended: "That the International Sunday School Association be requested through its committee on Work Among Negroes, to co-operate with the committee appointed by this Conference in carrying out plans for the inauguration of systematic and thorocourses of Sunday School training and instruction in colleges and schools for Negroes." z This was in 1908. Until 1911 Mr. Lyman teaching in the divinity department of Benedict College did the chapel Sunday School work as a side line. There was an opportunity to reach a larger field of usefulness by showing the students the value of an interesting Sunday School, teaching them how to teach a Sunday School class and how to reach the same results in their home churches. The students were enthusiastic in the work they were faithful to the tasks given them and many of them reported favorably on the instruction of the new ideas into their home churches. Always interested in the betterment of the colored people, as soon as report of this work came to the cars of Mr. Hartshorn, he brought it to the attention of the committee of the International Sunday School Association on work among the Negroes and it was decided to undertake further work of this sort among the colleges. Dr. Lyman entered heartily into the work in 1911, and now, in only five years there are Teacher Training Classes having a present total enrollment of 3060 with a faculty of 124 in one hundred Negro colleges in 19 States. In 1911 the only educational institutions doing Sunday School training were Benedict College, Columbia, S. C, by Dr. Lyman; Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn.; Paine College, Augusta, Ga.; Southern Christian Institute, Edwards, Miss.; Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. Now there are in Alabama, 272 students enrolled in Sunday School teach er training classes in 11 schools; Arkansas, 44 students in 2 schools; District of Columbia, 77 students in 3 schools; Delaware 5 in one school; Florida 153 in 10 schools; Georgia 343 in 16 schools; Kansas 12 in 1 school; Kentucky, 59 in 4 schools; Louisiana, 9 in 1 school; Mississippi 277 in 6 schools; New Jersey, 18 in 1 school; North Carolina 446 in 14 schools; Ohio, 4 in 1 school; Pennsylvania 53 in 1 school; South Carolina 312 in 12 schools; Tennessee, 152 in 6 schools; Texas, 58 in 2 schools; Virginia, 246 in 5 schools and West Virginia, 266 in 2 schools. Touching upon this work in a recent magazine article, Dr. Lyman declares, "The work has met with so much favor and so evidently meets a real need that 47 institutions have made it a part of the curriculum and give a school credit. One hundred and fifty members of the faculties take on this voluntary addition to their regular work not only without complaint, but joyously. A valuable, practical and immediate result of this work in the schools is the spiritual reaction through the whole student body." Are there results to be seen in these five short years? Indeed. Students who were trained in these Sunday School Training Classes take an interest in Sunday School work at home and introduce these methods there. Miss Josephine Junis a Spellman Seminary graduate, organized a class in the Bethel Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Fla. Five classes with an enrollment of 52 are now studying the First Standard Course in Sunday school teacher training. The church has voted that no person may teach in the Sunday school of over 900 pupils who have not earned an international diploma. Eugene Martin, Atlanta University, is superintendent of the First Congregational Sunday school in Atlanta, and his pastor, Dr. H. H. Proctor, says that he is the best superintendent that he has ever had. The work is not permitted to stop here, however. The white State Sunday School Associations, under the supervision of the general State secretaries have appointed colored workers in Mississippi, West Virginia and Georgiaia and other states are planning for such help. Dr. Lyman, by his personality, by his earnest Christian character and his zeal for the work, has been able to do very much for the colored Sunday school. He knows from his experience how eager the black man in the South takes hold of anything that he thinks means progress for his people Many a good work in the hands of a white man in the South has suffered because that white man did not know how to approach the black man. The Negro does not expect the white man to love him as a blood relation. He at once grows suspicions of one who makes such pretensions. Dr. Lyman does approach his colored brethren like a Christian, not in a patronizing way, but he meets us as men, sons of God and with a sincere desire to be of service. In Mr. William H. Hartshorn, he has a leader whom all Negroes in the South love and revere. He has been a blessing to humanity as have the score of other Christian men, ministers and educators, who form the committee. They could have selected from their number no better man than Dr. Lyman to spread this good work among the colored students. DIED—Mrs Jeanette Rogers-Piner, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Julia Rogers, wife of Mr. John Wesley Iiner, of Colman, Md, where they have resided since their marriage three years ago, died on last Thursday after a lingering illness. The funeral took place from the home of her mother and sister, of 1108 N Carey St. The services were conducted by Rev Jas. G Martin, pastor of Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church. She is survived by her mother, husband and sisters, Mrs. L. S Henry Eveline Owens of Beverly Mass. Mr. Moses and Aron Rogers and other relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. Mr. Samuel Hemsley, funeral director. Interment in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. The family extends thanks to their relatives and friends for their kind words of sympathy and floral designs at her death. THE AFRO-AMERICAN NEW POST FOR T. E. TAYLOR. New York Branch Y. M. C. A. Gains Zealous Worker. Thomas E. Taylor, the new secretary of the West Fifty-third street branch of the Young Men's Christian association, New York, entered upon the duties of his office at the branch Sept. 1. He is a native of London, Canada. Besides the position of letter carrier at his native home, which he held for six years, Mr. Taylor was a member of the board of directors and a prominent worker in the boys' department of the central branch of the Young Men's Christian association in London, Canada. For the past eleven years Mr. Taylor was secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis, Ind. Under his administration the membership increased from seventeen to 1,000. A new Y. M. C. A. building was also erected at a cost of over $100,000 and a splendid religious and educational work established. His resignation from the branch at Indianapolis has caused much regret. The committee of management of the Indianapolis branch tendered Mr. Taylor a magnificent farewell reception at the branch building at Indianapolis on Monday evening.

How Students Are Taught In Technical Shops at Hampton Institute. In the technical shop at the Hampton (Va.) institute students take up sign painting. They begin with the making of simple Egyptian letters and by degrees develop skill and do more difficult work. They learn the principles of good letter formation and spacing. They devote in the neighborhood of a day a week for three years to sign painting. The technical instruction in paper hanging is supplemented by practical work under the instructor who has charge of the house painting. Negro and Indian boys learn how to handle themselves as well as how to handle the paper and paste with which they are dealing. They are taught how to work correctly and neatly. About 10 per cent of their time is devoted to this so called technical work in paper hanging. After a student has learned the names of the common tools and knows how to match colors, he is given some work in grain painting. It is his business then to learn the technical names of the different parts of doors, windows, cornices, and rooms. He must be able to interpret his plans and the specifications from which he works. Other divisions of the technical work include graining, calcimining, stencilling and frescoaling. As a part of their technical work, Hampton students make interesting experiments to test the wearing powers of palts, varnishes, and other covering materials. On one occasion the instructor had them take fifteen different varnishes and varnish sections of the floor. He also had them make full notes on the wearing qualities of the different trade varnishes. Hampton places strong emphasis on the value of having students know the reasons why certain trade operations are performed. It is very important for students to learn thoroughly how to do technical work, but the school's instruction does not stop there. Hampton aims to have students put into practice on full scale work all that they have learned to do in the technical shop. In the carriage shop the student cleans grease and dirt off vehicles, sandpapers furniture, leads and prepares surfaces for papering. Next he learns to color and rub varnish. In the meanwhile he receives experience in mixing paints. He is told why certain processes are followed out. Mrs. Tanner's Success as a Barber.

General Armstrong's Views of Training For a Life of Service. General Armstrong, founder of the Hampton (Va.) institute, often expressed himself as quite unwilling to undertake any scheme for the upbringing of a race which did not include girls as well as boys. He considered of vital importance, as did Booster Washington, the improvement of home-life. Each year shows an improvement in the equipment and character of the Hampton girl. The domestic science and arts classes, the "gumption" classes, the academic course, the gardening, the carefully planned rotation system in all kinds of housework, the teacher training at the Whittler, the physical culture, the competitive games, the student government on corridors, the summer outing system and the newly organized Young Women's Christian association-all these give wonderful discipline to girls at Hampton. The weaving department with the training that it gives in the use of color develops the taste of the girls, a matter greatly assisted by the girls' advisory committee, consisting of the domestic science and arts teachers, the wives of some of the colored workers and a girl from each class chosen by the girls themselves. This committee gives valuable service in the matter of dress and influences the conduct of the girls in many ways. Major Motion reported at a recent factory meeting that the mothers of the Negro race had come to have implicit confidence in the care given their daughters at Hampton. The reports that come from the homes where they are employed in the summer and from school superintendents are most satisfactory.

Now that ground has been broken for the new one hundred thousand dollar building in Atlanta, Ga., we are wondering when we are going to begin on our new Y. M. C. A. Come on Secretary Booker, now that your honeymoon is over, let us know something about this thing. Evidently the crimes committed by our people are not sufficiently exploited by that city and vicinity, judging by the pains taken by the Indianapolis Ledger to present them in all their hideousness on its front page. Why is the whereof of this? The Charleston News and Courier (white) is opposed to the establishment of a colony on islands off the coast of South Carolina on the ground that more colored people might be attracted to the State. The same paper is opposed to the migration of laborers into the North, "No more, no less, as is" is clearly the stand of the Courier. The Episcopal Commission of the Protestant Episcopal Church has practically decided to recommend the shortening of the Ten Commandments. The Tenth Commandment, as an example, will be shortened to read "Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbors," if the commission's report is adopted. Why not make it still shorter by saying "Thou shalt not covet," and be done with it. --- "Familiarity of the races always has bred mutual respect, it has been the unfamiliarity of the races that has bred contempt," said Rabbi Horace J. Wolfe of the Temple Berith Modesh before a colored audience at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of Rochester, N. Y. In the next breath, Rabbi Wolf urged the colored people to establish a colony of their own outside of Rochester proper. Jewish logic of the kind that the colored people are becoming accustomed to. One of the features of the Half Century Magazine, published by the Half Century Magazine Company, Chicago, is the Women's Page. It is gratifying to see that this new magazine has adopted a feature in having the fashion cuts featured entirely by colored women. Whether the stores selling these costumes are white or colored, we do not know, but it shows that we are making real progress when we have reached that place when we can look at our own women and find as much pleasure in looking at them as we did at the fashion plates in which all white women figured. We congratulate the Half Century Magazine upon this particular new feature and wish it much success in its new field of journalism. PLACE TO WORSHIP OR PLACE TO GOSIP? "I am doing something here that I do not do at my own church," a young man was saying, as he stood outside of the Sharon Baptist Church last Sunday and watched the Uniformed Rank of the Knights of Pythias file out and form in line on Stricker street. "At my church, Macedonia, members have been requested not to congregate outside the doors, and not to smoke. I don't suppose I ought to do it here, but smoking is such a comfort to me." "They say at my church," he went on, puffing his cigaret as he talked, that the good Catholic raises his hat and bows his head before his church, and that we Baptists ought to have respect enough for ours not to stand outside, and smoke and gossip, just as if our church were a theatre or club. So you don't see any more of this congregating and smoking around Macedonia, but when you see folks do it at other places, you think of your own comfort and do it with them." Of course, if one has respect for his own church, he ought to respect the church of others whether they do or not. But this, aside, the example of Macedonia Baptist Church in making itself respected as a place of worship is worthy of emulation. The effort of the Federal government to take census of its various manufacturing plants, brings out some very useful information in a most recent report of the Department of Commerce on Power Laundries. The report finds that there are over six thousand establishments employing 149,000 persons and doing $142,000,000 worth of business in 1914. The state of Maryland alone has 54 power laundries, Baltimore city 25, one colored laundry among them. The laundry business is naturally concentrated in states having large urban population, says the report and this explains why New Jersey has twice as many establishments as Virginia, altho they have the same number of population. This statement of the Department of Commerce does not explain why Baltimore, with 558,000 has 25 power laundries, while Detroit, Michigan, with one hundred thousand less population has 46 laundries, nearly twice as many; or this: why Quincy, Massachusetts (32,000) has 7 laundries, while Charleston, S. C., (58,333) has but 4. In fact all of the Middle Atlantic and South Atlantic States together can muster but 375 laundries, while New York City boasts of 550. The scarcity of power laundries in the South is not hard to account for. If the number of homes were known where washing and ironing for others is done, this number would be found far greater in the South than in the North. Instead of sending wash to a power laundry, the Southerner is accustomed to having a washerwoman come to the house. Or perhaps the washerwoman carries the laundry to her home. Just as many families in the North never know what it is to send clothes to a washerwoman as there are families in the South who do not know what it is to send wash to a steam laundry. The woman who supports herself and family by taking in washing and ironing, has never gained a foothold in the North, nor has she ever lost it in the South. If there are fewer power laundries in the southland, then we must know at once that there are more individual washerwomen, and we know too that these women are colored, for in the land of cheap labor, colored labor is cheapest of all. "We wash for white people only" is the trade boast of a leading white Southern Laundry Company, which led Prof. Kelly Miller to remark facetiously, "that is what colored people have been doing all their lives." The 1010 Census reports 361,000 laundresses (colored) not in laundries i.e., not in power laundries. This is more than twice as many persons as are employed in all the power laundries of the country. Fifty cents a day and two meals is the wage of the laundress of the South, and a realization of the social, political and economic condition of the 361,000 women who toil under such a wage gives an insight into the reasons why the colored women are urging the men to go North in search of better positions. They know that better wages for men means, ultimately, better wages for women, that living wages for men means the emancipation of thousands of women from the drudgery of washing and ironing for others so they can properly care for their own homes. These things they know, and so, against the advice of Dr. Moton even, wives, sisters and sweethearts are prompting men of the South to go North. The disappearance of the old washerwoman would work a temporary hardship upon the South, but in the end that section would develop the power laundries just as the North has done. "PITCHFORK BEN" FEARS DEATH "Pitchfork Ben" is seventy years old. With age has come the fear of death and the constant change of heart. No longer does fiery Ben Tillman, Senator from South Carolina, scream the defiance of the South and all that it has ever stood for against the North, but with trembling hand and moist eyes he arose from his chair in the Senate last week to answer the charge of President-elect Hughes that the South is dominating the affairs of the country. "If I ever hated the Northern people," said the converted rascal, "and I confessed to that the last time I spoke here—that hatred and partizanship has died out of my heart; and the pitchfork, if it was considered the emblem of it, has long since been buried. From its grave an olive tree has grown and I am tendering the olive branch, claiming to represent the South in doing so to all the Northern people." "The country belongs to us all, and we belong to it. The men of the South, North, East and West carved it out of the wilderness and made it great among the nations of the earth. Let us share it with each other, then and serve it, giving to it the best that is in us, of brain and brawn and of heart." TO HAVE AND TO HOLD. Sometime ago the South was making overtures to the foreigners coming to these shores to settle in the South, urging as its reason the unreliability of the southern colored man. At that time, they wanted to get rid of him, at least they sought to so impress the country. But now that there is an inclination on the part of the Negro to get out of the South and a demand for his services in the North, the South is making every possible effort to keep him there even resorting to law in order to prevent his leaving. The South will yet wake up to the fact that it has the cheapest and best labor in the world, but that will in all probability be when that labor is lost to it. Abolition of Jimcrow cars, segregation laws, fair treatment at the polls, and a good public school system will do wonders for the South and give it the best, the most contented labor in the world. Better keep it while it has it. THE FORUM I am sorry to have kept you waiting so long, but here is my dollar for subscription to your paper. I have been pleased with my paper and like to read it.

A LETTER FROM "SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO." I arrived safely in my regiment on the 19th. Leaving Columbus, New Mexico, enroute to join my regiment, found the country flooded with heavy rains. My trip was a miserable one riding through mud and water, taking two days to make 105 miles. There is a rumor here that the 10th Cavalry and 6th Field Artillery will be withdrawn from service within the next few weeks on account of their hard and active service. These three regiments were the first to enter Mexico under orders from the President. The 24th Infantry band is here with their regiment and is the only band with its regiment in Mexico. Bob Cabell, who is a relative of Mrs. Henrietta Gibson, of 220 East street, is the champion welterweight in Mexico, a member of the 24th, and has to his credit three clean knock-outs. Fighting Bob, as he is called, is scheduled to go ten rounds on Labor Day with Kid Charleston, of California. Troop D, 10th Cavalry. Sergeant Patterson also enclosed a money order for five yearly subscriptions to the Afro-American for members of his company. CLEVELAND AND WILSON Mr. Editor: Grover Cleveland, elected President of the United States, unlike Widrow Wilson, was absolutely under no obligation to the colored race. The colored race, openly and unitedly, did everything they could to encompass the defeat of Mr. Cleveland. In spite of it all, Mr. Cleveland was elected. But to the great surprise of all, the man thus elected, when he stood forth to make his inaugural address, among other things, delivered himself as follows: "Loyalty to the principles upon which our government rests positively demands that the equality before the law which it guarantees to every citizen should be justly and in good faith conceded in all parts of the land. The enjoyment of this right follows the badge of citizenship wherever found, and, unimpaired by race or color, it appeals for recognition to American manliness and fairness." Mr. Woodrow Wilson not only welcomed the support of colored men, but promised if he were elected to give the race a "square deal" with a bountiful hand. He could not have been elected without the aid of colored men in the northern and western states. Instead of keeping inviolate his ante-election pledge, he has turned against the race, turned colored men out of office and given the places formerly occupied by them to white democrats, yea, he has even introduced "Jim crowism" at the seat of the National government. From the colored American's point of view, Grover Cleveland was one of the best and fairest Presidents the country has ever had, while Woodrow Wilson is one of the worst. The record of Mr Cleveland will show that all during his administration he lived up to the spirit, as well as the letter, of his inaugural address. The Americanism of one differs from that of the other in its relation to the "color line." The democracy of Wilson takes no account of the citizenship of the black man; while that of Cleveland, in the letter and in the spirit, adhered strictly to democracy as laid down by Thomas Jefferson: "Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political." ENTERPRISE LODGE ENTERTAINS A large number of Pythians gathered at Pythian Castle, McCulloh and Preston streets, last Thursday night as guests of Enterprise Lodge, No. 2, the occasion being a banquet in honor of the 33rd anniversary of the organization of the lodge.

CAREY'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY Manager Cremen of the Carey theater celebrated the first anniversary of his up-to-date playhouse in one big blaze of glory last week, and he was able rewarded for his efforts by the crowds that turned out every night, to see the masterpieces of photoplay that were offered, and to listen to the harmony of the big brass band, that had been secured for the occasion. The success of this theatre has been assured from the first time it opened its doors up until last week, when the quality of pictures afforded its patrons have been of the character of those shown last week, which included, Bert Williams the premier colored comedian of the American stage, in the screaming comedy, "A Natural Born Winning His Suit" a photoplay acted entirely by colored artists, a play designed to bring about a more friendly relation between the races, and other big serials such as "Who's Gullity," "The Iron Claw" and the "Secret of the Submarine." If these kind of plays are continued, and there is no present indication of their stoppage, the management of the theatre can rest content that their playhouse will never lack for the proper patronage and support, from our people. The last episode of "Who's Gullity" is on the boards for Monday, and the second episode of the latest serial "The Grip of Evil" will be shown Saturday. THE NEW LINCOLN Frank Brown and Company, one of the best vaudieville acts on the stage, together with a bevy of beautiful girls in a beauty chorus will be the feature at the New Lincoln Theatre next week. An extra-fine four-piece orchestra led color to the high quality of photoplay that are shown every night. --- Several first run serials will occupy the screen at the Northwestern very soon, if the plans of the management do not miscarry. Beatrice Fairfax, is scheduled for September 18, while the widely advertised "Yellow Menace" will come to that house October 5. These serials alone will be worth the price of admission. Liberty, an entirely new dramatization will make its first appearance in any of the colored theatres, at this place. AT THE NEW REGENT Commensurate with his high class programs of previous weeks Manager Mosely of the Regent will turn on a big vaudeville stunt direct from the New Standard Theatre of Philadelphia for his patrons next week at the new Regent Theatre. Big five reel features from the houses of Pathe, World Film Corp., and William Fox, topped off by the first episode of the "Grip of Evil," will be a few of the features on the program for next week. AT THE STAR THEATRE Lovejoy and Thomas. in a select dancing and talking act will head the program at the Star Theatre, East Monument street next week. The four big serials, "Grip of Evil, Secret of the Submarine, Mysteries of Myra and Peg of the Ring, are carded for Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights respectively. In addition there are many other big features which Manager Berger will have for his patrons. LOCAL ELKS HEAR REPORTS A report on the proceedings of the recent session of the Grand Lodge of Elks at Philadelphia, was made by the delegates from Monumental Lodge at the regular meeting of the Lodge Tuesday night. The delegates, Samuel T. Hensley, William Lewis, William Smith, William Johnson, Raymond Coates, Joseph Matthews and Lewis E. Williams, said that Baltimore made a most favorable impression. It was asserted that George W. F. Mechench, who was mentioned for the position of grand exalted ruler, had many friends at the convention. He did not enter the fight, however, and was reelected to the position of grand esteemed leading knight. A big fight will be made at the session at Cleveland next year to land the 1918 meeting for Baltimore.

Marching along Laurens street near Carey, with: the Uniform Department, Knights of Pythias, on their way to ‘Sharon Baptist Church, Allie Jordan, aged 45 years, of 124 West Preston street, was suddenly stricken with an attack of acute indigestion, and died ‘a few minutes later on the steps of a nearby house, where he had been help- jed by several of his comrades. When Dr. D. N. E. Campbell, of North Carey street arrived a few minutes later on the summons of Captain Perey T. Bor- ron, he pronounced the man dead. Mr. Jordan was in apparent good health up to the time of the attack and only complained to Captain Bor- [ron a few minutes before his death that he thought he would be unable to [complete the mareh to the church. ‘The captain immediately placed _his lieutenant in charge of the company and called two of his men to assist Jordan to the steps, where he expired a few minutes later. Mr. Jordan was a barber by trade besides being a sergeant in Monu- mental Company, No. 14 of the Uni- }form Department. He was unmar- ried but was engaged and his wedding was to take place some time next month, |. Funeral’ services were held at the Pythian Castle, Mecultoh and Preston ‘streets Wednesday afternoon. 1300 PEOPLE BUT NO SCHOOL | Mr, Samuel D. Hayward, represent: ing the Afro-American, paid a briet visit to Chestertown last week, and in the course of an investigation of bus iness and educational facilities was surprised to learn that although the town has a colored population of over 1860, tere is not one school, and ab- solutely no facilities for the education of our children. Mr. Hayward will probably bring the matter to the attention of the State Board of Education with a view of having the deplorable condition looked into.

Any deficiencies that might have ap- peared in the opening performance have been corrected, and Baltimore can expect an even better show, for in the two weeks it has been on the way here there has been ample. time for improving weak spots.
