RACE CONGRESS FLAYS PREJUDICE Attitude of the Bourbon South and Discrimination Criticised in Address to the Country DR. JOHNSON PRESIDES Representative Citizens Present From Every Section of The Country. Washington, October 6.—Equality before the law, the elimination of segregation and other proscriptions and a re-affirmation by the whole American people of the spirit of the War Amendments were urged by speakers, who gathered at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday and Thursday to attend the National Colored Citizenship Congress. The Congress was a prelude to the annual session of the National Equal Rights League, which began today. The gathering was the most unique in a decade, as many of those taking a most active part therein held divergent views on the race question ten years ago. The ascendancy of the bourbon South and its attempt to further crush the Negro through segregation and other race prejudicial measures during the Wilson administration brought these men and women together. It was an inspiring spectacle to note the unanimity of adverse opinion regarding the Wilson administration and the coming to the fore of the Mike Smiths, Vardamans, Tillmans, Savils and John Skelton Williams. It was also a sad one when a number of most intensely interested in the outcome of the Congress supported Mr. Wilson four years ago, believing that this Southern-born and Northern-raised man would bridge the osum and stand squarely out for life for all classes of American citizens. It was also noted that the newspapers here did not mention the proceedings on the first day. The Opening Session Judge B. M. Hewlett, of this city, called the meeting the order, delivering an address of welcome, in which he severely criticized anti-Negro tendencies. The congress was formally opened by Rev. Byron Gunner, head of the National Equal Rights League, which held its session here today. W. Monroe Trotter, the noted and militant editor of the Eoston Guardian, read the call for the meeting. Among those who responded to the address of welcome were Rev. R. S. Johnson, of Virginia; Rev. M. F. Sydes, of Providence, R. I.; Rev. R. C. Hanson, editor of the A M. E. Church Review; Mrs. Robert Coggins, Grand Rapids, Mich.; J. P. Peaker, New Haven, Conn.; Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson and Mr John H. Murphy, both of Baltimore. Both of the Baltimoreans were given ovations as they arose to speak. Dr. Johnson has been an insistent and consistent champion for the race for nearly fifty years, and when his white-haired, towering and militant-looking form ascended the platform cheers went up. He urged continual agitation for equality of opportunity. Mr. Murphy declared that if the colored people were citizens of this country they are entitled to the rights and privileges accorded other elements, and ought to spend and be spent for them. Dr. Johnson Chairman Dr. Bornstein Chamblee Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson was elected temporary chairman. Other temporary officers chosen were: W. Monroe Trotter, secretary; F. Morris, Murray, Washington, assistant secretary; Thomas Walker, Washington, treasurer. The following committees were appointed: Press, John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, chairman; Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, Rev. J. E. Wood, editor of the Torchlight, Danville, Ky.; W. Monroe Trotter Program—M. W. Spencer, Delaware, chairman; A. W. Whaley, of Boston, Mass.; Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y.; Rev. M. F. Sydes and J. H. Murphy Credentials—Thomas Walker, Mrs. Coggins and Emory T. Morris, Cambridge, Mass. Strong addresses were delivered at the session Wednesday night by Bishop I. N. Ross, of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. Byron Gunner, W. M. Trotter. Music was furnished by the High School Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Mary Europe. Address to the Country Address to the Country The address to the country urged extensive organization of the colored people to resist and combat all public discriminations based on color. The address follows in part: "For many years after the close of the Civil War, peonage was practised in the South which has never become thoroughly reconciled to the laws prescribing equality of citizenship. This fact is seen in the widespread efforts to defeat the great War Amendments by the enactment of laws making the disfranchisement of the race a practical reality. Separation of colored passengers from all other racial elements on common carriers, proscriptive legislation, residential segregation, lynching of thousands of colored men and even women charged with offences never proven in the courts of justice, has become almost a National disease. These social disorders are the aftermath of slavery and we appeal to all fair minded men and women of the enlightened moral froces of the country, to unite in a nation-wide effort to correct these abuses to the end that justice may prevail in all sections of our common country." After reciting the great progress of the colored race and its usefulness to the country in industry and war, the address continues: "We have the door of opportunity has been opened the race has demonstrated its ability to meet the most exacting requirements of our civilization. The race has made valuable contributions to science, invention, art and literature and its achievements in our national wars have maintained at a high level the best military traditions of this nation. "We desire to express to the friends of liberty and justice our grateful appreciation for every service of any character which they have rendered in the past. We seek nothing but justice and that equality of rights and opportunity which we denied to none of the other groups in this country. "We denounce the segregation of colored employees in the civil service of the Federal Government as unAmerican, unjust and wicked, shameful and disgraceful abuse of power. "We denounce the spirit of those so-called representatives of the people in the halls of Congress, who are constantly seeking to re-citizenize the race by the introduction of reactionary legislation which belongs to the past age and which the great body of American people have outgrown." The speakers at Thursday night mass meeting were: Prof. Kelly Miller, William D. Brigham, Boston, Mass.; Dr. William A. Sinchair, of Philadelphia; Rev. Keverdy C. Ransom, Mrs. M. C. Simpson, of Boston; Miss Nannie Broughes, Washington, and Morris W. Spencer, of Delaware, who read the address of the country. NEXT SESSION OF CHURCH WORKERS TO BE HERE Philadelphia, October 5.—The Conference of Church Workers among the Colored People, of the Episcopal Church, which assembled here, September 26-29, proved highly interesting, and was very largely attended. The principal topic discussed was that pertaining to the "Racial Episcopate." Rev. G. A. Griffith, of St. Mary's, Baltimore, attended the conference for the first time, and soon found himself completely at home. St. Mary's Church extended an invitation to the conference to hold its next annual session there and upon the motion of Rev. Dr. G. F. Bragg, the conference unanimously accepted the same. Dr. Bragg and the Rev. James K. Satterwaite, of Raleigh, N. C., were elected delegates to go to St. Louis and care for the interests of the conference with respect to the racial episcopate question. Mr. James W. Hughes of Baltimore was the lay representative from St. Mary's Chapel. The papers and discussions were able sustained. There are nine colored Episcopal congregations in Philadelphia, and nine colored clergymen, and a very elaborate musical cantata "The Chimes of Normandy," was given at the Parkway Auditorium, on Thursday evening of last week, under the auspices of the colored Episcopal churches of that city. It was a great success, every way, and proved a rich musical treat. The work of the conference is comprehended in the "Address to the Church at large." The "Memorial" to the General Convention is printed herewith. No change was made in the staff of officers, save in the presidency of the conference. The officers are as follows: President, Rev. S. W. Grice, professor in the Bishop Payne Diversity School, Petersburg, Va.; vice president, Rev. George Fruzier Miller, Brooklyn, N. Y.; secretary and histographer, Rev. G. P. Bragg, Baltimore, Md.; assistant secretary, Rev. James K. Satterwaite, Raleigh, N. C.; treasurer, Mr. Archer C. Nicholson, Philadelphia, Pa.; necrologist, Rev. Emmett E. Miller, Petersburg, Va. COPS END FRACUS OF FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES Washington, October 4.—The police were called in today to quell a class fight between the Sophomores and the Freshman, which took place on Sixth street off the Howard University campus. When the patrol full of officers arrived, the fighters quickly dispersed leaving only a few scattered articles of clothing in the hands of the cops. WHITMAN REVIEWS New York, October 5.—New York's new colored regiment was presented its colors by Governor Whitman Sunday. The colors were the gift of the Union League Club and the presentation took place in front of the club. Governor Whitman delivered an address lauding the work of colored soldiers. Bert Williams, the comedian, is a captain in the regiment. His fine white horse became frightened when the band struck up, tore up. Fifth avenue, doing more antics than Bert does on the stage. Bert and the police calmed the steed, however. Captain Williams took the subway BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 1,000 LEAVING SOUTH DAILY Intolerable Conditions Cause of the General Exodus of Colored Laborers to the North. 50.000 LEAVE ALABAMA J. H. Duckery Tells of Social Work in Railroad Camps Among Immigrants. The shortage of unskilled labor in the North due to the European War and the effort on the part of large corporations to fill the gap by bringing thousands of colored laborers from the South, have caused a number of these corporations to devise various means to cope with the social problems arising as a result of the changed environment of the large number they employ. J. H. Duckery, assistant instructor of camp life on the Pennsylvania Railroad, in charge of Eastern Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania, New Jersey Central and Northern Division P. B. & W. R. R, was in the city this week and in an interesting interview with a representative of the Afro-American, told of the camp life of the thousands of colored laborers who have been brought up from the South to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad. "The colored people of the North are strangely uninformed as to the number of colored people who have come from the South recently, and settled in their communities," said Mr. Duckery, "and as a result, if no provisions are made for their social welfare one can easily see that their opportunities for becoming good citizens in their new environment are minimized. Right here in Baltimore there are several colored camps and while the white merchants have found out where they are and have sold them all kinds of wares, the colored residents of the city do not know of their existence. While I was visiting one of the camps near Baltimore Wednesday, a white merchant came there and sold thirty pairs of shoes." According to Mr. Duckery, Baltimore has not as yet been the stopping place of many of these Southern emigrants, and those who did come, left almost immediately. It was because of this fact that he was sent here to find out why these laborers were not content to remain here. Used to Home Life "The colored Southerner," said Mr. Duckery, "has been used to home life. Unlike the Italian, Bohemian, Pole and other foreigners, he cannot get used to living in box cars and the like. I have found this to be the cause of the general dissatisfaction of the laborers in the camps near Baltimore, and have recommended that the remedy will be effected only by the erection of suitable houses (as has been done farther North) so that the environment, as far as home life is concerned, will be as near ideal as possi- Colored Minister Recreant "The colored ministry has been recreant in its duties toward this new element of the population. The coming of thousands of men into strange and often unwelcome communities means that the churches should not only throw open their doors to them, but efforts should be made to carry the gospel of good cheer and welcome to them. These men, contrary to current opinion, are not the riffraff and idler of the South, but the cotton picker, the railroad man, the toiler. True, they might be a little uncouth, but they are willing and eager to learn the ways of their new environment. The trouble is that the saloon and the saloon element get hold of these men and exploit them, while the minister especially in the large churches are either ignorant of their presence or indifferent." Proficiency Rewarded When asked as to whether provisions are being made for the advancement of these immigrants as they showed proficiency, Mr. Duckery said that already the Pennsylvania railroad was employing the men as shipping clerks and other responsible positions in the freight houses, some of the men earning salaries as high as $75 per month. He also declared that the railroad and other corporations were employing men to look after the social welfare of the immigrants, so that they would be satisfied to remain in their new positions. "There is no question of love in this arrangement with the large corporations," said Mr. Duckery, "but a question of labor. They need 2,500,000 laborers; these laborers must be recruited from the South and they realize that it is good business to throw around them every incentive to good citizenship to the end that they may become better employees. The camps where they live have in most instances, every modern convenience. the food is palatable, an often amusements of all kinds are provided. All that is needed is the cheering hand, the word of welcome and encouragement and the Southern immigrant will prove to be an asset worth consideration in the economic life of any community." Intolerable Conditions Mr. Duckery said that conditions in the South were becoming intolerable to such an extent that even in view of the fact that the exodus of such large numbers had caused an increase in wages, colored laborers were flocking to the North at the rate of one thousand a day, and that fifty thousand had come from the state of Alabama in the past six months. While attending the National Baptist Convention in Savannah several weeks ago, he mentioned the fact that he would take all who wanted to go with him North. Five thousand, he said were at the station next morning. The police ran most of them away, but he brought 368 with him. "So glad were they to get away," said Mr. Duckery, "they did not ask where they were going until they got to Washington. While in the city, Mr. Duckery was a guest at Smith's Hotel. MISSIONARY BOARD MEETS The Executive Board of the Woman's Home Missionary Society met Saturday, September 23, at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. Miss H. A. Beenson, the secretary, being absent and Miss Ida R. Cummings served. Reports from the various departments showed that good work has been done. Ians were made to send the representatives, Mrs. Mamie E. Jones and Mrs. Florence Carroll, to the annual meeting in Columbus, O., October 18 to 25. Activities for the larger development of the work were presented by the President, Mrs. F. M. Clair, the corresponding secretary, Mrs. M. E. Jones; the organizers and department secretaries. Mrs. Lowe was made organizer, and Mrs. M. P. Thomas, secretary of children's work. A delightful dinner was served by the Baltimore and Annapolis Districts, Mrs. Wright and Mrs. M. J. Camper, presidents, respectively. GREATER QUEEN'S RALLY The Greater Queen's Rally held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church on last Thursday evening proved true to its name. It was propably the largest and prettiest Queen's Rally that has been held in Baltimore. Fully 1500 persons crowded the auditorium and remained during the entire program. Promptly at 8:45, the directress, Mrs. Manie E. Jones, accompanied by Mr. Henry Johnson, marched in and placed the golden crown on the throne chair. Twenty gorgiously dressed queens followed in their order with their attendants. There were fully maids dressed in white, were decorated with colorful colors. The financial part of the rally was $50.55 taken in at the door and $759.95 was brought in by the queens and maids. Total $110.30. the pastor. Rev. A. J. Mitchell, the president, Mrs. Maud Kelson and officers and members of the church extend many thanks to the members of other churches who assisted us, as well as the public in general. THE DEATH OF MRS. CLARKE Mrs. Mary Clarke, wife of Henry Clarke, and mother of Mrs. Sadie V. Murphy, wife of D. Arnett Murphy, business manager of the Afro-American, died Monday evening from the effects of heart failure. Mrs. Clarke had not been in good health for some years, but had never left off her household duties. The deceased was a native of Bertie County, North Carolina, where she still has a number of reatives. She came to this city more than twenty years ago, and has made this city her home since. She is survived by her husband, Henry Clarke and only child, Sadie, two sisters, Mrs. Hannah Neal, and two brothers, Harry Johnson, of North Carolina, and Charles Griffin, of Philadelphia, her mother, Mrs. Ruffin, several nephews, nieces and one grandchild, Mary Elizabeth Murphy. She isalso survived by two sisters, Mrs. Hannah Neal and Mrs. Edith Mitchell. Funeral services were held at her late home, 748 Waesche street Friday afternoon; Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, officiating. Mrs. Annie Hazelton Lee sang a beautiful song. The floral tributes were numerous and handsome. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. HOME DEFENDERS' MEETING The Baltimore Home Defenders' Association met at its headquarters, colored Y. M. C. A., September 25th, 1916, at 4 P. M., with Dr. C. G. Cummings in the chair. The purpose of the meeting was the utilization of all the forces to do our best to make a dry Baltimore. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Hare, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. Alberta Diggs, Mrs. C. G. Cummings, Mrs. Truxon and Mr. Henry A. Griesemer. The following persons were appointed to form, district meetings in the City of Baltimore and suburbs: East Baltimore, Dr. G. E.

CAUSTIC ARRAIGNMENT OF WILSON ADMINISTRATION BY LAWYER W. T. M'GUINN PROVES THAT "PLACE" ASSIGNED FOR THE NEGRO BY DEMOCRATS IS NONE OTHER THAN SLAVERY The Jim-Crow and Segregation Policies of the Democratic Administration Pointed Out at Mass Meeting in John Wesley M. E. Church The national administration, at Washington for the past three and a half years, when not engaged in transmitting foreign notes or when not occupied in persecuting Huerta or "catching" Villa, has energetically exerted the strong arm of the government in keeping the Negro in his place. That "place" in the last analysis from a Democratic viewpoint, is none other than a modified form of slavery. Bourbon Democracy is in the saddle in the nation and in its attitude towards the Negro, stands today practically where it stood in 1861. In the birthplace of organized secession, it there declared—adopting the language of Alexander Stephens—that "the foundations (of the new government) are laid. Its corner-stone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not the equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race is his natural and moral condition." This is a grave indictment and if it did not rest upon an incontestable record, its exploitation would be fatal to the cause which I am endeavoring to advance. Let us see. When the present Democratic administration was inducted into office, the following representative positions were occupied by intelligent and efficient colored citizens—as an act of justice by the Republican party: Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Register of the Treasury, Auditor of the Navy, Register of the Land Office, Collector of Internal Revenue of New York, Collector of Internal Revenue of Jacksonville, Fla., Receiver of Public Money, Little Rock, Ark., Collector of Customs, Benoufort, S. C., Special Assistant Attorney General, U. S., Collector of Customs, Georgetown, D. C., Agent of the Agricultural Department, D. C., Deputy Collector, Los Angeles, Cal., Inspector, New York, N. Y., Assistant District Attorney, Chicago, Il., Postmistress, Bayou, Miss., Postmaster, South Atlanta, Ga., Deputy Collector, Brunswick, Ga., Postmaster, Benoufort, S. C., Collector of Customs, Georgetown, S. C., and a few others. All, all of these appointees have been displaced by white men. Not only is this true but in many instances in the departments at Washington, colored appointees have been summarily dismissed. Instances can be cited where colored men employed in the Washington City Post Office have been transferred to newly created branch offices, only to have those branch offices abolished very soon after assuming their duties. If it is urged that these men were Republicapsand therefore had no right to expect recognition at the hands of the Democratic party, let me ask what has become of those fair, fine promises made by Mr. Wilson, when he was a candidate, under his own hand, in a letter to Bishop Walters? Does the President of this great republic treat such solemn covenants as mere "secrats of paper?" In his letter to Bishop Walters, when he was a candidate for the presidency, he promised the colored people of the country civil rights and privileges such as were guaranteed under the Constitution. Acting upon his spoken and written pledge, under the leadership of Bishop Walters and others, thousands of courageous and self-respecting colored men, not sporadically but in organized form, went to the polls and cast their votes for Wilson. Is it possible that he could not have found available material for recognition among that great, throng of independent thinkers and voters? The fact is, that, with the President's acquiescence at least, the South buckled on the stirrups and wound have none of it. The South was in the saddle—that South which, speaking through Ben Tillman in the United States Senate, said "We stuffed the ballot boxes, we shot Negroes; we are not ashamed of it"—that South, which speaking thru Huek Smith of Georgia, said "I favor and, if elected will urge with all my power the elimination of the Negro from politics"—that South which, speaking through Wilson of Louisiana brutally proclaimed to the world that "the separation of the races is one of benefit but the demonstration of the superiority of the white man over the ENT OF ADMINISTRATION BY WYER W. T. M'GUINN E" ASSIGNED FOR THE DOCRATS IS NONE AN SLAVERY Policies of the Democratic Ad- t at Mass Meeting in John Negro is a greater thing. There is nothing which shows it more conclusively than the compelling of Negroes to ride in care marked for their special use." The Republican party placed those colored men and women of capacity, intelligence and respectability in these representative positions as notice to the world that they recognized the character and quality of the citizenship which they represented. The Democratic party kicked them out and refused to appoint those equally as worthy and who had followed their standard to victory because it is their declared policy to eliminate the Negro from the politics of the country and from any participation in the nation's affairs. COLORED MEN of Maryland, of the Nation! What answer shall we make to this Democratic, this Bourbon record on the 7th, of November next? The National Democratic Party, now in control in both branches of the government, has not only declared that we shall not participate in the government which our fathers fought to preserve, but which they did their utmost to destroy, but have persistently attempted by national legislation to assail, repeal and abrogate every right and attribute of citizenship guaranteed to us by the Constitution and every law enacted for the protection of those rights. In pursuance of this manifest purpose, that party has introduced into the Congress of the United States the following resolutions which speak for themselves. 1. To repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. House Joint Resolution, 30, 40, 33, 107. 2. To provide Jim Crow Cars in the District of Columbia. (House Resolution 13, December 6, 1915.) 3. To segregate clerks and employees of the white race from those of African descent in all the executive departments of the United States Government. (House Resolution 13772, February 23, 1913. Similar resolutions were introduced December 6 and 15, 1915.) 4. To require all transportation companies, firms and persons, in the District of Columbia, to provide separate accommodations for the white and Negro races, and to prescribe punishment and penalties for violating their provisions. (December 6, 1915.) 5. To repeal Section 19 of the penal code which makes it a crime for any two or more persons to conspire to injure, threaten or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution. 6. To forbid the appointment of any Negro soldier as a commissioned officer, either in the army or navy of the United States. House Resolution 12840, March 7, 1916. 7. To prevent the enlistment of Negroes in the military service of the United States. (House Resolution 17183, July 27th, 1916.) It is submitted that if these measures, as proposed and introduced in the Congress of the United States, have been enacted into law, we would have been divested of every vestig of citizenship, humiliated beyond measure and our last estate would have been but slight improvement over the first. With the repeal of the 15th amendment, our privilege to exercise the right of suffrage would have been lost; with the revocation of the 15th amendment, our right of citizenship would have been abrogated. One step only would have been needed, to wit, the annulling of the 13th amendment, to place us practically where we were in 1861. The very fact, that in this day, men can be found bold enough and defiant enough to repeatedly propose these measures, should be sufficient to give us pause and alarm. These resolutions are Democratic measures and if the country returns Mr. Wilson to power; it will be an endorsement of the policies and policies of his party. It will be a vote of confidence and will be construed by his bourbon associates as a candidate from the people to proceed to the full completion of the actuarious work so auspiciously begun. Oh, my brethren! Let us register and laying all exuses, let we vote. The hand of the Philadelphians are upon us. Our most sacred rights are imperilled. The future and happiness of our firesides and heartstones demand that we act, that we act promptly, fearlessly, conscientiously as best American freemen endowed with a citizenship the like of which the world has never before known. By authority of Colonel PRICE THREE CENTS A Genuine Rupture Cure Sent On Trial To Prove It Don't Wear a Truss Any Longer. After Thirty Years' Experience I Have Produced An Appliance for Men, Women and Children That Actually Cures Rupture. PERSONAL MENTION The boys of Troop, No. 10, Allen Chapel, are the "hotfoots" in Northwest Baltimore. Scoutmaster Gough who is a player of ability, plans to "clean up the city" too, with his famous team. Mr. Bernard Webb, who gave an excellent lecture to the Scoutmasters several weeks ago, is in the work tool. He has already promised to cooperate with the Boy Scout organization, very much to the encouragement of the Councill. With Mr. Webb and Mr. Wilson, both of the Public Athletic League, assisting the movement, the Scoutmasters feel certain that much good might be accomplished. The McAllister sporting goods firm has already offered a banner to the troop doing the best playing this season. With such an incentive, every team should work hard to be the winner. East Baltimore boys have already started their basket ball interest. It's now only a case of "keeping it going." And right here we pause to say—this is one time when all the up-town fellows have to lift their "lids" to the East Baltimore boys. Master Edgar Stanley, one of the most popular players on the middle weight team of last year is mobilizing his "men." Be careful, heavyweights, "something's gwine to drap It is rumored that Mr. Samuel Gillis, a well known and energetic youngster of Waters' boys department, is preparing to play again this year. Remember, this is just a rumor, no one seems to know yet; but if "Sammy" does play the fellows had better be getting scared now. ```markdown ``` Master Bernard Jennings greases up with a pound of lard every night getting "soople" to handle the ball. Master Charlie Kink, the very excellent Scout scribe of Troop No. 2, is talking about riding the basketball goat. Three cheers for King. Master Ulysses Thompson, better known as "Youlis" will soon jump in his basket ball "togs." Basket ball will then be his pie. BASKET BALL Nearly every troop of Boy Scouts in Baltimore is now preparing to take up basket ball this winter. East Baltimore is in the lead at present and the boys say it will stay there. Troop No. 2 has already purchased its ball and they hope to be "tuning up" in a short while. The famous players on Troop 2 purpose to "clean up" for the city. There is much talk of forming a league among the scout troops this year, and if such a scheme is perfected, will go a long way toward a larger interest of the boys in their troops.

Dear Sir:— Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it. I got you a pillow, got you a easy pillow, fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know I had it on; it just adapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be a part of the body, as it clung to it, not, no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture if all could prosecute the Broke Rupture Applause and wear it. They would certainly, never regret it. My rupture is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents self I will say good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured people. It is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am. Yours very sincerely, JAMES A. BRITTON, 60 Spring St., Bethlehem, Pa. Confederate Veteran Cured Commerce, Ga. R. F.

BOY SCOUT NEWS The last meeting of the Patrol Leaders Club of the United Colored Boy Scout Troops of Baltimore was an unusual one. Scores of scouts from time to time have asked to be informed as to when the first aid lecture was to take place. They were more than satisfied, however, when Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle met them at Enon Baptist Church last Thursday evening for the purpose of delivering an address on "First Aid" with demonstrations. The lecture was the finest and most instructive ever delivered before the Patrol Leaders Club since its organization. Throughout his address, Dr. Boyle emphasized again and again the need of every Scout being sincere in his every duty, quick to think, and the great importance of being "cool head- quine Rupt at On Tr Wear a Tr Experience I Have P d Children That Ac The above is C.

I hope God will reward you for the good you are doing for suffering humanity. Others Failed But the Appliance Cured Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marsail, Mich. Dear Sir: Your Appliance did all you claim for the little boy and more, for it was too small. We made him wear it for about a year in all, although it cured him 3 months after he had begun to wear it. We had tried several other remedies and got no relief, and I shall certainly re- comprehend. We surely owe it to you. Yours respectfully, WM. PATTerson, THE AFRO-AMERICAN ed" under all circumstances. In other words, "Preparedness" upon the part of every boy was the one great aim that was held up by Dr. Boyle as being all important in first aid work. Upon the many vital points touched upon, special instruction was given as to how to render "first aid" to a person having a leg cut off by a car. Demonstrations clearly showed the method of attack when the injury occurred above or below the knee. The importance of making the patient comfortable as possible in all cases was emphasized with special instruction as to what to do to secure comfort. The importance of the telephone or a quick messenger was discussed relative to the prompt calling of an ambulance. The use of the handkerchief in "first aid" was discussed at some length with appropriate demonstrations. Stabs in the back were also discussed. Deep cuts in the neck were taken up with definite instruction concerning the method of treating the wound until the arrival of a physician. The loss of blood on the part of the injured and its prevention was early discussed. The Scouts were made to understand that every drop of blood is valuable to the injured; while the loss of it means a weakening of the system. Two valuable ways were given for detecting the heart beat that showed will never be forgotten by any Scout, young or old. Bleeding from veins and arteries was also thoroughly discussed and any of the boys present should now be able to tell fairly well at a glance just the source of the blood flow. Germs, infection, and the ultimate result, blood poisoning, were touched upon in a very elementary way with special emphasis upon the importance of cleanliness in absolutely all "first aid" work. The electric shock caused by the falling of an electric wire was the concluding topic of the address. Following the lecture, Dr. Boyle gave a brief "heart to heart" talk to the boys. He made a strong appeal for each boy to "stay in school" as long as he possibly could. The value of a trained mind was clearly discussed and illustrated with true stories. The curse of idleness and its consequences were ably touched upon and likewise many true stories were cited to drive the lesson home. Master Samuel Castor may soon join the basketball fellows. If he does the "goat" will dance for joy. Miss Edith Harris, of Philadelphia, after spending ten days in the city as guest of Miss May Harris, of 1329 Argyle avenue, has returned home. WHO'S WHO.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Send For Brooks Rupture Appliance 1. It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and it are embodied the principles that inventors have sought after for years. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. Being an air cushion of soft rubber it clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used in other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungainly. 5. It is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a hairiness. There is nothing about it to gooul, and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. The hairs are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very hardest material, and is a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10.

BALTIMORE, OCT. 7, 1916 Among the many conventions that have held their sessions at the capitol of the nation in the past few weeks, the capital joke appears to have been the grand united convention of ex-slaves. American Kultur got another swipe from a German-American, Dr. Kuno Frauche of Harvard, who believes Germany can teach Americans some things in respect for law and order. Since the weather has gotten cool, some folks think we won't need that swimming pool for the kiddies of Baltimore who can't use municipal pools. LESSONS FROM RAILROAD MEN Frederick Douglass Underwood, one time brakeman, but now chief executive of the Eric Railroad, is the man whose iron hand guided the big company to financial success when it was thought to be rapidly approaching the open-drawbridge of bankruptcy and trust. When the council of railway presidents met President Wilson to talk over labor conditions recently, Mr. Underwood attributed his success to the fact that he had served with credit every position on the Erie from brakeman through clerk and general elevator foreman, conductor, gardmaster and everything else including division superintendent, general manager and vice president. Perhaps more wonderful than the rise of this railway president is that of an unnamed man who began as a bachelor but through the amputation of an arm was forced down to take the position of flagman. After the loss of the other arm in coupling strakes, he was forced to leave the employ of the railroad, but not discouraged announced his intention to woo Martine and success in the study of law. Turning the leaves of his law books with his tongue, and writing with a pencil held firmly in his teeth, he graduated from a Western law school among the first ten men of his class. Last week the city of Denver appointed this armless attorney as one of its municipal judges. The astounding success of these two men is only another evidence of the phenomenon that is happening every day in a Democracy like ours. A Carnegie gives way to a Henry Ford, and an Frederick Douglass to a Booker Washington or a Frederick Douglass Underwood. The handicaps these men faced were tremendous, enough to discourage and turn back the most modern of Jobs, but difficulties in their experiences were matched against iron determination to make great, and the greater the setbacks, the stronger their resolution to succeed at any cost. The lives of these men are excellent examples for a people who are striving gainfully upwards. Handicaps are unares for the unwary, too they are fortune's favors to the bold. The physical obstacle is great enough to keep a man down, who is unalter- ably determined to go ahead. The only man at a permanent disadvan- tage in this civilization is the man without a will to succeed. A NEGRO PARTY The approach of the presidential election in November and the absence of a candidate whose platform offers special inducements in return for the solid support of the colored voter has awakened a feeling in many quarters that the Negro should have a party of its own. Miss Inez Milholland, a white philanthropist of New York is said to have outlined a Negro party along the lines of the recently organized Woman's Party, and in Tennessee R. R. Church conceived and carried out the plan of uniting the voters of his state in the effort to elect state senators and representatives. The Crisis in advocating such a Negro party has this to say, The situation is this: At present the Democratic party can maintain its ascendency only by help of the Solid South. The Solid South is built on the hate and fear of Ne- groes; consequently it can never, as a party, effectively bid for the Negro vote. The Republican party is the party of wealth and big business and, as such, is the natural enemy of the humble working people who compose the mass of Negroes. Between these two great parties, as parties there is little to chose." It would be the platform of this party to stand unmoved by bribery and lust for the office for the manhood rights of the Negro; a platform with a single plank and only one issue before it, just as the Socialists stand for a more equable distribution of wealth and the Prohibitionists for the banishment of rum. The possibilities of such a Negro party cannot now be estimated accurately. With the two and one half millions of colored people actually wielding the ballot in a single party their popular vote would be just six times the voting strength of the Socialists and fourteen times the strength of the Prohibitionists in the presidential election of 1912. In fact they could come within 900,000 of equalling the popular vote for Mr. Taft in the same year. In 1012 the Socialists polled 812,000 votes for Eugene Debs, while the Prohibitionists gave 170,000 for Eugene Chafin. This does not represent the real strength of these parties. President Wilson's recent labor legislation shows a concession to the Socialists just as the many dry states in the Union represent more fully the actual sentiment for prohibition. And it is largely the tireless and relentless campaigns of these two parties since 1870 that has educated the people to the need of modifying capitalism and intemperance. With the coming of country-wide prohibition the Prohibition party will dwindle away to nothing. The Socialists gained 100 per cent in voting strength in the four years from 190812, and are likely to show a still larger increase for 1916. The object of the dry party will be gained without ever electing a president and the same may prove true to the Socialists. Like these two parties, then, the Negro party need never hope to elect its candidate but by withholding its votes from other parties, would eventually become a power to be reconced with. Moreover by the publicity of the platform upon which it stands, it would be certain to receive concessions, until finally like the Prohibitionists find that it no longer had a cause for existence. All hail the new party. VOTES AND HORSE SHOE NAILS History records the fact that a very important nation was ultimately wiped from the face of the earth on account of a horse-shoe nail, or the lack of it. For the lost nail meant a lost shoe, the lost shoe a lame horse, the lame horse a captured and killed commander, and the loss of the officer brought annihilation to an army, and in the end disaster and calamity upon a nation.—All because one man failed to do his duty. In the gubernatorial contest of 1911, Mr. Goldsboro won by a plurality of three thousand votes—103,000 persons voting for Mr. Gorman and 106,000 for him. In round numbers then 209,000 persons voted in the election. Census returns for 1910 indicate the presence of 367,908 males of voting age in the state at that time. Had those 161,908 persons, who did not come to the polls and vote, made use of the opportunity to vote for Mr. Gorman, the whole political life in those four years would have assumed a different aspect. If the twelve million men who did not exercise the franchise in the presidential election of 1912, had favored a fourth candidate, they would have given him a plurality of more than five million votes over Mr. Wilson, who was elected. Leaving out the "ifs," the fact remains that this government of the people, by the people, and for the people is being carried on by slightly more than 50 per cent of those qualified to vote. In that sense our government is only a 50 per cent popular government. Perhaps large numbers of people are prevented from voting by disfranchisement, and an equally large number are citizens of other countries, yet this does not account for the twelve million inactive voters in the states. They are the ones like the historical blacksmith, who thinks that an unusual vote or a loose horseshoe nail are very small matters after all. Yet on the one as on the other might be resting the fate of a nation. MRS. HODGES BURIED The funeral of Mrs. C. Luvenia Hodges, who died last Friday, following a lingering illness was held from her late home, 713 W. Mulberry street, Monday afternoon. Rev. Dr. A. Brown, pastor of Leadenhall Street Baptist Church, of which congregation she was a member, officiated. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Messrs. George B. Brown, Asa W. Porter, James R. Wheeler and Frank Waters were the pallbearers. Five daughters and one son are among the surviving relatives. Y. M. G. A. READY FOR FALL AND WINTER WORK The colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. opened the fall work with a big membership meeting and social at the building at which time the little building was crowded. A spicy program was rendered, consisting of short talks and songs. The big Glee Club was present and added much interest to the occasion. Secretary S. S. Booker outlined the fall and winter program as adopted by the different committees, and presented to the members present a very neat and attractive prospectus which in itself shows how the Association plans to reach out more than ever before to satisfy the needs and to attract the interest of the men and boys of the community. The fall and winter program calls for many new features, some of which can only be attempted on account of limited space and equipment. The new phases of the work will give the men some idea of what will be done in a larger plant. There have been many repairs and changes during the summer, among them are the opening of the basement with a box ball bowling alley, a punching bag and a shuffle board and the opening of the third floor rooms for men roomers with hot and cold water, and telephone service. In other words, the Association is launching out into its proper field of operation and service. The committee plans to have two or three Bible study courses, with strong teachers. These courses will be supplemented by a series of lectures by able theologians. There will be also a class or club in public speaking and debating, one in "First Aid" and one in Sociology and Economy or business thrift. These groups will be open to everybody, and especially the men of the community. The religious work program will consist of a Bible Institute, sectional and community meetings, alley meetings and big Sunday meetings during the winter with able speakers from all sections of the country. The big meetings will open November 19. All members have received a prospectus of the fall program, as well as envelopes for the current expense rally during the next ten days. All committees are busy and jubilant over the outlook for the year. Mr. Nathaniel Hall, a graduate of Morgan College has been secured to assist Secretary Booker during the winter. Mr. Hall will do office work and whatever else may be assigned to him in order to make the work a success. At last the members and friends of the Association are near the goal of their fond hopes. Some definite action in reference to the new building will be taken within the next thirty days and then for the final dash in the construction and completion of one of the most modern Association buildings in our groups. However, remember that we have not paid all of our pledges and in reviving the interest among the management, it also behooves every subscriber to make his final payment, cancel the sheet. Our program is large and very definite, our present building and equipment are limited, therefore, we beg the co-operation of every citizen and court their favor in the presecution of the work of the brotherhood in Baltimore among the men and boys. BETTER MANHOOD and a BETTER BALTIMORE. "THE LURE AT THE COLONIAL NEXT WEEK A few years ago when the "white slave" traffic" attracted the attention of the country many authors and producers strove to find something to place before the theatre-going public that would not be offensive and in the meantime educating the people to what this phase of American life meant to society. Play after play was produced but fell through as none of them met the requirements of the exacting public, and it was not until the Shuberts presented "The Lure" that New York and Chicago rose as one to proclaim that the play the people wanted had arrived. For one solid year this remarkable production played to crowded houses nightly on Broadway, and now that the Federal government is making an extensive investigation into a phase of life that affects all classes the Quality Amusement Corporation at an enormous expense has secured the rights of the well known production and for the first time in the history of the theatre the play will be presented here by an all colored cast at the Colonial theatre next week. Rivalling the famous Mme. X in its tense scenes and appealing motif, "The Lure" comes here with a reputation that is nation wide and Baltimore will have the first opportunity of passing upon the merits of the players selected to portray something that has been so favorably passed upon by the critics of the big dalles. On account of the change necessitated by the playing of the Smart Set over the circuit, the players will for the first time get this opportunity of making their initial appearance here instead of at the Lafayette Theatre in New York. Among the artists that will appear in "The Lure" are Andrew Bishop, Will A. Cook, Lawrence Chenault, Luke Scott, Arthur Wilkes and the Misses Inez Clough, Marle Young, Anita Bush, Carlotta Freeman and Ruth Carr. The above are the people that will portray for the edification of our people the great white slave question in a manner that will leave no room for criticism after their first appearance, for each and every one has been tried and found exceptionally able in presentations being booked by the Quality Amusement Corporation. This Saturday will be Donation Day for the Home for the Friendless, located at Catonsville. At convenient points persons may leave money, groceries, clothing, shoes and other necessaries for making lives of the little orphans happy. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. and Mrs. Corbin, of Westfield, N.

That Baltimore's annual drink bill is $27,000,000? 4. That of this great sum of money Baltimore gets only $1,000,000 for license fees in order to run the city? 5. That at a conservative estimate the colored people of Baltimore spend not less than $2,700,000 for strong drink? 6. That the above sum would buy annually 2,700 homes at an average cost of $1,000? 7. Won't you ask some bright school boy or girl to tell you the number of barrells of flour, tons of coal, good wearing shoes, suits of clothes, etc., that can be bought for $2,700,000? 8. Ought not the Colored Voter, so cast his ballot on November 7th, as to turn this vast sum of money into legitimate and constructive business enterprises, so that our people may become a stronger people morally, economically and educationally? DO YOU DRINK BEER? IS BEER HARMFUL? Tome Regard It Liquid Food, Health Drink. Joy-Killing Doctor Says "Difficult To Find Heavy Beer Drinker Over 40 With Normal Liver, Kidneys, and Heart" (Dr. D. H. Kress in the S. S. Times) Beer is not a liquid food or "health drink" as is claimed. Indeed, pure whisky, which contains 50 per cent. alcohol, with pure water added to reduce it to 4 per cent., is less injurious than an equal quantity of beer, which contains 4 per cent. alcohol and other injurious products. It is difficult to find a heavy beer drinker 40 years of age with a normal liver, kidneys and heart. These vital organs, from the excessive burden that is thrown upon them, wear out permanently. The beer drinker may have an abundance of flesh, but it is of inferior quality. Surgeons do not care to operate upon him because the chances of recovery are minimized. "Gets" Pucumonla Victims. Should the beer drinker be stricken down with pneumonia or some other febrile disease that taxes the heart and kidneys, he would have but three chances out of ten to make a recovery. So much for the physical ills caused by beer drinking. The bad moral effect produced by habitual beer drinking is even more marked. It produces a moral grossness and seems to destroy the finer and nobler instincts. "Natural Exil." Professor Sinz of the University of Bonn, in speaking of the use of beer by the students of Germany, says: "The flooding of the stomach and of the brain with beer so prevalent among our students I regard as a national evil, whether considered from the hygienic, economical or intellectual point of view." In speaking of its moral effects, Dr. A. Forel, of the University of Zurich says: One only needs to study in Germany the 'beer joker,' beer conversations and beer literature. Among the academic youth of Germany the drinking of beer has truly killed the ideals and the ethics and has produced an incredible vulgarity." Dr. Edward Hartman says: "Although of all nations Germany has the greatest capacity for culture, the general culture of the higher classes is undergoing frightful retrogression because of the beer consumption of its students."

Molock, Ph D., President 1513 E Monument Street GREAT PICTURE AT THE CAREY A story of ability, mediocrity, deception and love runs through the film "Jaffrey," which will be presented at the Carey Theater next week. The story centers around Jaffrey Chayne, who went from London to the Balkans as a war correspondent. He was accompanied by Prescott, another correspondent. Reaching there, the latter falls in love with Llosha, daughter of an Albanian chieftain, Prescott falls in love with the girl, marries her and dies shortly afterward. Keeping a promise to look out for the widow, he carries her back to London. Reaching there he finds out that his old college chum, Adrain, had written a book that sold like wildfire. This surprised him as Adrian had never displayed any literary ability. The latter weds Doria, a wealthy girl, attracted by his literary fame. Adrian's publishers give him an order to write another book, but he dies before it is finished. Jaffrey mishes the book adding frills and turbebelows to it. He and also mutual friend Hillary, find the manuscript of the first book, which showed that Adrian did not write it. The secret was kept from the widow, however. She later finds the manuscript, which show her husband to have been an impostor. She tries to make love to Jaffrey, but he marries Liosha, and returns to the Bulkans. What German and Austrian Ex- perts Have To Sav. Nine men out of ten, if asked in what nation the doctors and scientists might be expected to be the greatest believers in beer drinking, would exclaim without an instant's hesitation: "Why, Germany, of course." If asked "where next?" they would probably answer: "Well, in Austria, I suppose, that's a great beer drinking country." It seems such a safe guess; Germans and Austrians drink beer; German and Austrian doctors can't think it harmful. But is this true? Listen to Dr. Hugo Koppe, the famous nerve specialist of Koenigsberg, Germany: "Thousands and tens of thousands of men who take their daily pint are rendered stupid, silly and dissolute." Hear also Professor Reintzer of the Polytechnic at Gratz, Austria: "Beer has a special action on the nervous system which leads to that clumsy, provincial headiness of mind, one can observe strikingly in the beer-drinker." The safe guess is not such a safe one after all. Its fallacy becomes glaringly plain when one thinks of a German or a Austrian saying carelessly: So many mosquitoes are allowed to breed in America that the American doctors evidently do not think their bites harmful. We know otherwise. Colonel Gorgas and our other health experts have seen clearly the malarial danger in the mosquito bite and are doing their utmost to awaken our people to combat the evil. Just so these foreign experts because they live in the beer countries, have seen their people's peril and have sought to warn them against it. The defects shown by the Germans and Austrians—mental, moral or physical—are not all, but in fair measure due to excess of beer-drinking as shown in the testimony of their own leading medical men. Their achievements—and they are many—in scientific, literary, artistic and intellectual lines are in spite and not because of beer. What these nations are with beer we know. What they might have become—and still may become—without it we can only conjecture. BEER HIS DOWNFALL Intoxicated Chauffer Pays A Fine Of $100. From Springfield, Mass., Union) Wilfred M. Parham of Grantwood N. J., a chafer, pleaded guilty to a charge of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor ando was fined $100 by Judge Heady in the Police Court September 9. He paid the fine and was released. Parham was arrested at State and Dwight streets by Patrolman H. O. Webster. The officer's attention was called to Parham by a man to whom Parham had called for directions regarding the road to New Haven, and an investigation revealed Parham's condition. The latter declared he had taken but three glasses of beer, but did not deny the assertion of the officer that he was drunk. ADV. FOR RENT—A neatly furnished room. Apply to 724 W.

I think so many things that I hard- iy know where to begin. I think it depends a good bit on mother and father: and: not at all on what I think about it: You know dear mother, the movies to me is about like the theatre. If there is an extra ordinary good play something your children. may be interested in you accasionally let them attend a matinee, or if it is.a high school. stud~ ent perhaps one evening in a week a good play. You are as careful where she goes and with whom—if you can't go—as tho’ she was a lump of gold. ‘Then, why not size up the movie play house in the same way. Why allow your chivldren to go whithersoever they please without a thought as to conse- quences. When 2 child leaves the sehool-room it should go home, not right out of the school-room into a moving picture theatre to witness any kind of play it feels so disposed to go and see. Are you sure it is the mov- ing pictures they are interested in or are they using the movies as a means to am end that will bring trouble and sorrow in the home and an end to a bright future. How many girls and boys are using the movies as a place for clandestine meetings. Don't say, “Oh I know my girl or my boy won't do. such things;" or “I can trust my child any place” or "I can believe anything my child tells me.” Now listen good mothers, your child may be a good child so far as good children are or can be good—but there is more than one way of evading the truth and more than one way of bluffing parents and as our children ‘are not angels nor perfect paragons of goodness they are not averse to try ing to do the thing they know they have no right to do as more than one mother can testify. Anything that seems. to have a spice of devilment in it, seems to appeal to them to their own undoing and our sorrow. Do you give them the money to go when they please and where they please without question? If you do then you should wake up and see if you have been wise to allow your children to spend all thelr leisure time in a movie theatre without you or some older person that you could trust, Isuy."THAT YOU CAN TRUST" because all older women and men are not trustworthy; they often go along ng a protection, where in reality they are helping along or if not helping, shutting thelr eyes and remaining passively Inactive as to what is going on right under their noses without a protest, and if the fact is mentioned, will tell you, oh a little thing like that doesn’t hurt any one. “Phe child will be none the worse off for her or his experience.” Now Lm not condemning the mov- fes, but T think there Isa time for 2 |things. I like the movies and T have a little boy who always enjoys the comedy movies but although during the school term he gets there usually ence a week, it all depends upon whether he has carned the right to go even that one time. If lessons are correctly learned weekly reports are good, he goes; i not 4 greater punishment could not be inflicted upon him, than to losc that one privilege once each week ‘Then he is never allowed to go alone I think both parents and guardians make a wonderful mistake in trust. ing young children to go to places of amusement alone. A girl or boy be- tween the ages of twelve and twenty: one are about as stable as a butterfl Jand as much to be trusted, as it is the silly time in their lives.

SLATTER To refer to many incidents in Bishop Cottrell's career would produce a limitless article. This practice of permitting the ministers freedom of speech in the annual conference, referred to in the last article, worked well with him and has made me think that the arrogant and tyrannical attitude of some bishops is unnecessary, to say at least. Bishop Cottrell comes as near being right in his appointments as any man I have known. He would weigh the advice of the presiding elders carefully, would give them credit for knowing the situation, and then would weigh the needs of that particular community. Always it was the work instead of the man. The splendid success which he had with the Mississippi Industrial College started an educational enthusiasm in that church, which resulted in increased facilities and broadened scope of work in Texas and Alabama. Lane College at Jackson, Tenn., the then foremost school of the connection was forced to some educational rallies in her territory in order to keep her position. None of the institutions outstripped the Mississippi Industrial College, however, and during these years its work has been of the A1 variety. I approach any reference to the Augusta General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and the color line fight with considerable misgiving. It is far from my intention to stir up old sores, but recital of events, however they may effect others or even me, must be faithful, to be worth while. I have been variously accused for my part in that memorable fight, but I do not believe I have done anything in connection thereof that I would not do again. While I had viewed the contention with a great deal of disgust, I had not determined to have any part in the fight until attending the Little Rock Conference of the C. M. E. Church, over which Bishop Cottrell presided at Newport, Arkansas. It was there that Dr. I. T. T. Brown, then editor of the Christian Index replied in a heated and scathing manner to an address of the Rev. H. Seb Doyle, of Texas, in which the color line was mentioned. I made a report of this incident, as faithful as I saw it, to the papers the next morning, including the Arkansas Gazette and the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Dr. Brown was the candidate for bishourie that the black people was supporting. This faction in the church was led by Bishop Phillips of Nashville. Brown wrote a scathing protest to Mr. C. P. J. Mooney, the editor of the Commercial Appeal, with 'no avail, but gave me the best he had in his shop in the Christian Index, of which he was then editor. Dr. Brown was no master of English, but he was of billinggate, and he took off both hair and hide. He kept the fight up through the long winter weeks of the conference season and throughout the spring until the General Conference. So did I. Brown had the official organ of the church, of which he was editor, but I was then corresponding weekly for the Charleston Advocate, and distributed large numbers of the papers throughout the church. The issue was sharply drawn at Augusta. Bishop Cottrell and Bishop Williams were set against the color line propaganda and marshaled their forces to beat it out if possible. Be it said to the credit of the church that the men supporting Bishop Cottrell and Bishop Williams were not all mulattoes. There were many black men who saw in the color line propaganda something that would ruin the church. The color line forces led by Bishop C. H. Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. R. T. Brown, the candidate for the bishopric and Dr. T. J. Moppins. I had won Bishop Phillips' undying enmity by publishing in a Nashville afternoon paper a letter which he had written to a Texas presiding elder, in which he vehemently declared that he wanted two black bishops, not because of their color, but because they had been kept out because of their color. The fact that Negroes had drawn the color line in the church, or were about to draw the color line had attracted considerable attention throughout the South and quite naturally the newspapers were on the QUI VIVE. As the General Conference approached the lines drew tighter and tighter. Bishop Cottrell and Bishop Williams worked feverishly to defeat the color line in the church. Bishop Phillips worked confidently, for he and his forces were sure of election. It is said that Dr. R. T. Brown was so sure of being elected bishop that he brought his robe to Augusta, ready for coronation. I had secured the A. P. a ligament, special assignments from a score of Southern Chronicle, afternoon and morning papers respectively. It looked as if the faction led by Bishop Phillips would win out. At least the antis were fearful of a test vote in the early stages of the conference. The test came however, over the contest of a seat held by a son of Bishop Phillips, in which a point of law was involved. The point of law was ignored, however, and the vote went up on the color line faction*. A publication of the incidents in the afternoon paper that day brought the storm down on my head the next morning, and I was ignomiously voted out of the church and ordered to write nothing more about the General Conference nor the church. One can imagine that such a foolish order was obeyed by me. I had no feelings in the matter then, nor have I any at this late day. The only act in connection with the whole fight that hurt, was that of my friend Dr. I. S. Person, whose advice and opinion I sought over the color line story before sending it to the Augusta Herald. Dr. Person passed on the article gleefully and said it was the very thing. What was my surprise to see him, the first man on the floor the next morning reading resolutions denouncing me! His explanation to me afterwards was that he had not seen the headlines. No more stirring times have been seen at any political convention. The anti color-line faction voted with the others on my expulsion from the conference, but had won out on the Phillips contest. Caucus after caucus was held and on bended knees men reverently declared it to be their purpose to defeat the color line within the church. Bishop Cottrell and Bishop Williams held their forces well. It seemed that they had won their fight when the conference by a majority of two voted to elect no bishops. That would however, only postpone the issue rather than defeat it. The slender majority that defeated the election of bishops too, seemed also to argue success for the blacks, and the vote on election of bishops was reconsidered the next day. The issue carried by two votes. The tension was tight, very tight. Some men had blood in their eyes, while others went devoutly to their Maker on their knees and asked his guidance. I do want to say right here that in many another organization where the issues had been so tightly drawn and fought out so stubbornly, there would have been some blood-shed. It is much to the credit of the church too, that it very soon outlived the rigor and fierceness of that campaign and the bitterness that it necessarily evoked. To make a long story short, Dr. Brown was defeated and Revs. W. Stewart and M. I. Jamison were elected bishops. Bishop Cottrell and Bishop Williams have been sharply criticised because they held caucuses with their forces to defeat the other faction. Perhaps that was wrong in a religious organization, but what would have been the outcome if it had been sent out to the world that the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church had elected a man bishop simply because he was a black man? Others might say that the church failed to elect Dr. Brown because he was black, but that is arguing from the point. Dr. Brown was the logical candidate and would have been elected had he not permitted himself to have been led off in that color line foolishness. Bishop Cottrell is a really good man. I doubt not that he made mistakes in that memorable campaign, but I am sure his heart was right. It is difficult for me to think of Bishop Cottrell doing any wrong with deliberate intent. His record has been made and it is full of stirring events where in he has worked for his people. No other man in the heart of the South would dare say things in discussing race relations that Bishop Cottrell says. He has no sense of fear. He beards the lion in his den, and before Southern Methodist Conferences, while pleading for funds to help his educational or missionary work, he never fails to point out to them the injustices the Negro receives at the hands of the white man. Sometimes his remarks are resented, but more often the bishop of the conference or some other strong minister will tell him he is right. It will be a long time before another church or that church produces a leader like Cottrell. He is a man of the old school, and was the son of his master. He saw much of slavery and secured his education at what he calls "Pine Knot University." And at that his education is by no means a despicable quality. What he lacks in letters, he makes up in experience and a deep knowledge of humanity. He counts his friends in both races by the thousands and was the first leader in his church to break from the isolation in which for a long time his church was held. There was at one time a foolish prejudice against the C. M. E. Church held by other Methodist organizations because of its origin. Bishop Cottrell did more to break up that foolishness than any other man in the church.
