The Afro-American

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFI AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEAT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Two Thousand Colored Men Now Employed at Sparrows Point. LIVING CONDITIONS GOOD Bethlehem Steel Company Sees After Sanitary Conditions Perhaps nowhere in more striking a manner may be seen the chances that skilled and unskilled colored laborers of color will have in big industries owing to the shortage in foreign labor than at Sparrows Point. The Bethlehem Steel Company, in which Charles M. Schwab is the leading factor, recently took over the works, and announced that it stood ready to spend $80,000,000 there. The big sum looked staggering to many, but to Baltimoreans who deal in large things it spelled a big era. The company now has about 2,000 colored men employed, none of whom get less than 20 cents per hour. It is said that some of the colored men get as high as $5 a day. The company is said to be willing to give employment at anything they are capable of doing. The men who are now employed come mostly from the South, as has been the custom at the works for years. The recent heavy migration northward has brought a number of colored men to the works, but others have gone elsewhere. A representative of the Afro-American went to Sparrows Point the other day to take a look over the situation. He found Mr. T. W. Stingley, a most affable gentleman, in charge of the employment bureau. As soon as Mr. Stingley found out that his visitor represented a newspaper, he grew interested and volunteered any information desired. When asked as to what accommodations the company was preparing for its increased army of colored workers, Mr. Stingley told the representative to get into his automobile and the whole of Sparrows Point was covered. The reporter was first shown the frame one-room houses built for the bachelor laborers years ago. Some of these are still used. Near the works, and to the South of where the cars turn to go to North Point the company has built a number of brick barracks for its bachelor colored workers. These new barracks are one story in height, and each room contains running water, lockers, electric lights, steel bunks for four and a stove. The sanitary equipment is excellent in every way. For the bachelor laborers who wish to cook their own meals, a kitchen has been built. It contains individual lockers and other modern conveniences. A store and restaurant are near the barracks, the upper floors of which are devoted to healthful recreation purposes. Modern baths are also near, where one may get a shower, needle and other kinds of ablutions. So great has been the use of this feature that the baths will be enlarged in the near future. MODERN HOMES BUILT ---- A visit was made to the old colored section, which takes in J and I streets. The houses on these streets have hitherto been of frame construction, being built years ago. On the northern end of I street, a number of seven room brick houses have been built. The houses have electric lights, bath and toilet facilities and sewer connections. There has also been built a boarding house accommodating forty persons. A new Baptist church has been erected on I street. The school under the principalship of Mr. J. H. Lowers is regarded as one of the best in the State. "The company intends to do everything possible for the welfare of the workers" said Mr. Stingley. "We realize that better and more reliable workmen may be secured where the living and working conditions are more favourable, and for that reason will do everything possible for the comfort of a good class of employees. The opportunity awaits the colored worker who wants to come here, no matter from what section of the country he hails." Cambridge, Md. Oct. 19—Just as he said to the congregation, "now many are going to meet me in heaven, hold up your hands." Rev. John Ellis fell back and died in the arms of Rev. John Wilson at the Baptist Church Sunday night. The death of the minister excited the congregation for a time, but quiet was soon restored. ROANOKE APPROPRIATES $400 Roanoke, Va., Oct. 19—The Common Council has appropriated $100 toward the entertainment of the annual session of the Negro Organization Society, which will be held here next month. DEAN HUBBARD NOW PRESIDENT DEAN HUBBARD NOW PRESIDENT Installed as Head of Meharry Medical College Before Distinguished Audience. DEAN FOR FORTY YEARS Distinguished Southern Educators Present and Deliver Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 20.—In the presence of a distinguished audience, Dr. George W. Hubbard was formally installed as president of Meharry Medical College yesterday. He has spent 40 years as dean of the college, and it has been largely through his uniring service that the school has been placed on its present excellent basis. The college has sent out a large number of colored physicians to practice in various southern communities. The exercises yesterday morning, were presided over by Hon. J. C. Napier, professor of medical jurisprudence in the college. Dr. J. W E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, delivered the principal address, extolling Dr. Hubbard's work at the school. Dr. A. M. Townsend, president of Roger Williams University; Bishop C. H. Phillips, Rev. C. W. Morrow, dean of Fiske University; W. J. Hale, principal of the State Normal School; Rev. Elam A. White, president of Walden University and L. M. Dunton, head of Claflin University, delivered brief congratulatory addresses. Dr. J. H. Kirkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt University; Mayor Robert Ewing, Prof. S. W. Herrill, State Superintendent of Education; Dr. J. A. Witherspoon, of Vanderbilt University; Dr. C. V. Roman, of Mehary Medical College, and Dr. I. G. Carland Penn, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, were among the speakers at the afternoon exercises. Dr. Henry S. Morgan, dean of the Dental Department of Vanderbilt University, presided. President and Mrs. Hubbard gave a reception at the George W. Hubbard Hospital last night. A reunion of the alumni followed, with Dr. J. A. Lester presiding. Dr. T. H. Slater, of Atlanta, Ga., delivered the principal address. A number of short speeches extolling the life work of President Hubbard and predating a bright future for the institution were delivered. Mehairy Medical College was started as a department of Central Tennessee College, which is now known as Walden University. The university is supported by the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church. Rev. Elam A. White was recently chosen head of the university, being the first colored man to enjoy the honor. It was also decided to make Dean Hubbard president of the medical department, which he had so long faithfully served. The medical department has also departments of dentistry, pharmacy and trained nursing, and is equipped to do a work of importance in this section of the country. IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS VISIT BALTIMORE The great movement of colored labor from the South to the North and West has interested the Information Bureau of the United States Department of Immigration, and two trained investigators are now on a tour of the country looking into the condition of the workers in their new environment. The men are Messrs. William Jennifer and Charles E. Hall, who have been connected with the United States Census Bureau for some years. They have compiled the various bulletins on the Negro issued by that bureau. They have been transferred to the Immigration Bureau so that they report conditions as they find them. Messrs. Jennifer and Hall were in the city Monday, and spent a large part of their time at Sparrows Point. They were pleased with the chances that colored labor has there, and declared that the company is doing everything possible for the welfare of its workers. The investigators pointed that over 2,000 inquiries had been made by Southern colored people seeking information from the United States Labor Bureau regarding chances of employment in the North. They pointed out to a representative of the Afro-American that European immigration had decreased 300,000 a year since the European war, which meant a loss of more than 20,000 unskilled laborers in 1016. This void will be filled, it is most likely, by colored workers. The opportunities offered will be great in every way, the investigators think. Messrs. Jennifer and Hall left for Wheeling Tuesday, where they expect to study conditions. During the next six weeks they will visit Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Gary, Ind., Kansas City, St. Louis Chicago, Minneapolis, Duluth and Detroit. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1916 NEW YORK AGE EDITOR WINS PRIZE Philadelphia, October 19—James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of the New York Age, won the third prize of $200 in the editorial contest in the Public Ledger. He was one of the three winners who wrote on "Why Charles E. Hughes Should be Elected." There were also three prizes offered to those who wrote the best essays on "Why Woodrow Wilson Should be Reelected." One thousand dollars in prizes were offered on each side. E. Webster Davis, of Chicago, would have been given the award made Mr. Johnson, but failed to fulfill all requirements of eligibility. He was given $50. The judges did not know that the New York editor was a colored man, each contestant being required to sign a pen name. Mr. Johnson wrote under his middle name, Weldon. His editorial, which appeared on the front page of the Public Ledger Wednesday morning, severely arraigns the Wilson administration for its vacillating policy. Mr. Johnson is the author of a number of books, one of which is "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" published anonymously in 1912. He also is a contributor to a number of the best magazines. He speaks several languages. "A RACIAL TRIUMPH" He takes his honors modestly, as is indicated by the following telegram to the Public Ledger: "I am very proud to have the distinction of winning one of the Public Ledger prizes, yet I feel that the racial triumph is greater and more important than the personal distinction." BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR A COLORED BISHOP St. Louis, Mo., October 18.--Early this week the outlook seemed most hopeful for the adoption of the Racial Episcopate legislation. The question was fixed as the special order in the House of Eishops for this Wednesday. There seems to be much interest in the matter. Some ten or twelve colored men among which number the: Archdeacon Demby, of Tennessee; Archdeacon Russell, of W. Virginia; Rev. John A. Williams, secretary of the diocese of Nebraska; Rev. Mr. Roker, of Muskogee, Okla.; Rev. Mr. Wright, of Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. J. D. Harewood, of Philadelphia; Archdeacon D. E. Johnson, of Little Rock; Rev. James K. Salter White, of Raleigh, N. C.; and Rev. Dr. Bragg, of Baltimore. Bishop Murray, of Maryland, preached at All Saint's Church Sunday evening. Rev. C. M. C. Mason, formerly of Baltimore, is the rector of All Saints Church. At that service, Rev. Dr. Bragg, rector of the church wherein Father Mason was christened when a baby, read the lesson. The colored visitors here are having a time time. They were entertained last Saturday evening by the people of All Saints Church. St. Louis is a very beautiful city. The colored people here live on good wide streets, and splendid buildings. The Sumner High School here is the best this writer has ever seen anywhere for colored people. The convention will adjourn on Friday, October 27th. BISHOP JOHNSON URGES SERVICE In a straight, high-planned talk, Bishop J. Albert Johnson told the ministers assembled at the mid-year session of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Bethel Church Thursday, that each minister was on the same footing with him and that all would be judged by the fideliity with which they performed their duties. It was his first address as presiding bishop if the conference, and his remarks were listened to intently. He told the ministers that tabebearing, backbiting would not post master with him, but service for the Master's course would. His remarks were liked by the great majority of the ministers, who foresaw the breaking-up of cliques. During the morning a business session was held, at which time methods for liquidating the big indebtedness of the Conference were considered. The financial condition of the Old Folks' Home, on Alspitt street, was also discussed. It is said that Bishop Johnson told the ministers that he would tolerate nothing but a strict, business management of the affairs of the Conference. Ebish I. N. Ross delivered a brief address of greeting and Rev. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension told of his work. The women had missionary rally in the afternoon, with Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. Anna Worthham and Mrs. A. L Gaines among the speakers. Mrs. L. S. Flagg presided. R A. Tucker presided over a rally of the Allon Christian Endeavor League and George S. Whyte over a Sunday School rally at night. The collections during the day amounted to nearly $1,000. Delivers Forceful Address at Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York. SCORES LYNCH LAW Stands Against Unjust Discriminations On Account of Color. Speech of Hon. Charles E. Hughes while candidate for Governor of the State of New York, delivered at Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City, on November 4, 1906. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, presided. Mr. Anderson, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great pleasure for me to be able to be with you tonight. Forty years ago we had a great crisis in this country—a little more than forty years—and to preserve the Union we poured out our money, our treasurer and the lives of many of our best citizens...We desired to have equality before the law...We desired to have the benefits of free institutions extended to all those that were just as much entitled to them as those that already enjoyed them. The Union was preserved, but our efforts to preserve our free government must be unremitting. We can never stand idly by and watch the administration of government as though it were a matter with which we, as citizens, had no necessary concern. In this campaign there has been brought home to all the citizens of this State that they must be alive to what is essential to the perpetuity of decent, free, honorable government. You have the question of the preservation of law and the maintenance of order. No man is a good citizen who is reckless with regard to the requirement of the law. No one knows better than you how important it is that appeals to passion should not subvert the judgment. No one knows better than you that in dealing with those who are guilty we should proceed according to due process of law. We want the spirit of fairness always to prevail. Once you abandon that conscience desires to do right, that desire to accord to your neighbor the right that you demand for yourself, you enter upon a path that leads straight to anarchy. We don't want any lynch law in this country. We don't want any lynch law in criticism. We don't want any lynch law in newspapers. We don't want any lynch law, or the spirit that manifests itself in lynch law, anywhere. I desire to see the government at Albany administers solely in the interests of the people of the state and in the interests of all the people of the State. I stand for equality before the law. I stand against unjust discrimination against any man on account of his color or on account of his race or on account of anything. We are all together in this country working out our salvation under the greatest plan of self-government that the world has ever seen. It was founded for the purposes of equalizing opportunity. Its foundation principle is that all men stand before the laws as citizens with equal rights and equal opportunities, and with an equal chance to get the rewards of industry and integrity, with equal chance to win the reputation that is due to manhood and honor and decency in life and honor in all the activities of life. We do not want the memories of our great dead used as a cloak for the advancement of selfish ambition. We do not want the name of our martyred President invoked by those who are in their proceedings dishonoring every principle for which he stood. We reverse the memory of that great man who, in silent foritude, bore his burden, who was content always to be right, careless allice of praise or of blame, who was more anxious to be just than to be famous, who was more anxious to be fair than to hold office, and through all his life breathed the intense desire to give liberty, to give freedom, and in all that he did to answer with his conscience in the presence of the God who gave it to him. COLORED VOTERS OF MARYLAND MUST HELP ELECT DR. FRANCE TO UNITED STATES SENATE Warner T. McGuinn Proves Necessity of Electing Republican Senator From This State, In Order To Maintain Balance of Power In Congress Dr. France's Unimpeachable Record Shows Him To Be A Champion of Justice And Fair Play and A Friend Of The Colored Citizen --- In a speech delivered at John Wesley Church, an excerpt of which appeared in your issue of October 7th, I endeavored to point out the very hostile attitude of the present Democratic administration towards us as a race, by exhibiting a bill of particulars containing a number of resolutions into the Congress of the United States by Democratic Congressmen and also executive acts of the President in removing from office representative colored appointees. It was there shown that all of the representative colored appointees had been displaced by white Democrats; that resolutions had been offered in Congress (both houses being under Democratic control) to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments; to provide "Jim Crow" cars in the District of Columbia; to segregate colored clerks and employees in the service of the Federal Government; to repeal the penal code which makes it a crime for two or more persons to conspire to injure, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free enjoyment of any right or privilege; to prohibit the employment of any Negro soldier as a commissioned officer in the army or navy and to prevent the enlistment of Negroes in the military service of the United States. It is the purpose of this effort to show the extreme political necessity of electing our candidate for the United States Senate as well as our candidates for the House of Representatives. The United States Senate, as constituted today, contains ninety-six members. Of this number fifty-six are Democrats and forty are Republicans. The terms of thirty-two of the whole number will expire in 1917. Of this number eighteen are Democrats and fourteen are Republicans. The fourteen Republican Senators come from States safely Republican; nine of the retiring Democratic Senators come from States that more frequently go Republican than Democratic; but in the unfortunate division which has occurred in the Republican party, the Democrats have been enabled to gain these seats. It is apparent, therefore that in order for the Republicans to have a majority in the next United States Senate, we must carry nine States, which in recent years have returned Democratic Senators, and one more. That one must come either from Maryland or Missouri. ... President Hughes with a hostile Senate will be powerless to remedy the abuses of the present Democratic administration or to carry into effect any of the constructive policies of his party. His power will be of a negative order and limited to the veto which the Constitution gives him. There is no valid reason why Mr. Lewis, the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, should receive a single colored vote in this entire State. On the contrary, there is very convincing argument why he should not. However, the rumor persists that his managers, recalling his We cannot have too much of that spirit of our American life, and we cannot condemn too strongly the misuse of that apocalypse. I tell you we want to settle something in this election. We do not want simply to win a victory; we want to have that victory so decisive that it will be a warning to all those who prosecute hatred and incite disorder. We want them to know that in this country they cannot succeed that way. They have to get down and deal with things as they are and shun misstatement and shun exaggeration, and shun censure, and shun vilification and endeavor to imitate in their own activities some of the virtues which they so loudly proclaim. I want you to know, my friends, that if I am elected Governor, I will be your Governor, the Governor of every one of you... I want to see that you have, every one of you, a square deal. I want every one of you to be protected in your secret rights as citizens, and have the opportunity that you are justly entitled to have in this great commonwealth. And I want you to know, whether you are Republicans or whether you are Democrats, whatever your allegiance may have been, that I stand here with no other ambition but to serve the people of the State and be the Governor of all, irrespective of race, color or party. PRICE THREE CENTS MARYLAND LECT. DR. FRANCE UNITED STATES SENATE Necessity of Electing Republican e. In Order To Maintain Power In Congress Record Shows Him To Be A. I Fair Play and A Friend colored Citizen peril, are endeavoring, "by gum-shoe" methods, to corral a number of colored voters. Let me exhibit his record In the Maryland State Senate in 1904, when the bill was introduced "to provide for separate accommodations for white and colored passengers in the sitting, sleeping and eating apartments of all stairboats playing within the jurisdiction of the State of Maryland;" Mr. Lewis' vote was recorded in favor of it. See Maryland State Journal, 1904, pages 690 and 691. Mr. Lewis supported the Poe disfranchising Amendment, which was designed, as we all know, to disfranchise the colored voters. Mr. Lewis supported the Straus Amendment, the second disfranchising project and publicly endorsed it as will more fully appear from the Sun of October 25, 1809. To sum up: He voted to "Jim Crow" the colored race on the steamboats; he voted to "Jim Crow" us on the railroads, and with his vote, these bancal measures became the law of this State and we are humiliated by them today. He supported the Poe Amendment; he supported the Straus Amendment and publicly indorsed both of which measures were designed to take from us the sovereign privileges of voting conferred upon us by the Constitution of the United States. Put to the acid test, he was disclosed to be a bourbon. And now I ask, is there a Negro voter in this state, so devoid of racial self-respect, so utterly oblivious of racial wrongs perpetrated upon us in the past, in the doing of which Mr. Lewis, by his recorded vote, officially participated, that can cast his vote for him. - Dr. France, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, upon the floor of the State Senate, in 1908, by speech and every known parliamentary device assaulted the Strange Disfranchising Amendment and when the Democrats insisted in passing it, took the stump against its ratification and contributed largely towards its defeat. He is in hearty accord with Republican principles as set forth in the platform of his party and more to be desired, he stands for those great, original moral principles upon which the Republican party was founded. As set forth in his speech of acceptance, he believes in the preparedness of the individual, as a fundamental principle of free government. He believes and evens that every citizen shall be informed and enlightened, cultivated in civil virtue and fitted for some specific work; citizens trained for service in the welfare of the Nation. Dr. France is a representative of the highest type of American citizenship. He is in the bloom of life, splendidly educated and imbued with the purpose of service to his fellowmen. Let us take no chances with our ballots at this critical moment but vote an unscratched ticket for Hughes and Fairbanks, for Dr. France and our Congressmen. WARNER T. McQUINN Published by authority of Gale L. Tait, Chairman Republican State Committee. HOSPITAL FOR PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh, Pa., October 20—Leading colored residents here are behind a movement to establish a hospital. Application for a charter has already been made, and the institution will be known as the Livingston Memorial Hospital. Several Pittsburgh millennia are expected to contribute toward the building fund. Four graduate nurses have been secured as the nucleus of a nurse training school. REV. MICHELL IN NEW YORK New York, October 17.—The Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, pastor of Armes Memorial M. E. Church, Baltimore, preached at St. Mark's M. E. Church at both the morning and evening services last Sunday. On Monday night the Inter-state Bible Class, which he formerly taught and the teachers and officers of St. Mark's Sunday School, tendered him a reception in the dining room of St. Mark's Church house. Rev. Mitchell entered the ministry from this church and the church is proud of the success that has come to him in the ministry. [Picture of a woman with a hairstyle and a necklace.] WITH ANNE M. WORSTAM and SUNNIE WORSTAM SIMULTANEOUS WORKERS THE NEW-EXPECTED STREET For long ago I was an intermittent member to some men meeting about a friend of these whom they gritted and strengthened the life with a woman that was not the only man's wife as she had him as their person; he was afraid to untie usions the woman and, the many things they would do if she was the wife of others. I thought to myself, and as I happened to know the people of London I would not help but warn them that each one of them had such a wife, as if they would perhaps be more men. "So many things are important to" said one of the men. "The need to be such a good fellow unto me must join the duty; he does not stay out to play cards or go out, if he must be known the fact and a class of men or whistles; there is a - to play. I certainly would not be tied to any woman's words in such a manner." "Not I thought" and in one but a question and self-identified woman would money and an excuse of a man." I wondered what a man is former non-identified man the associates when his wife either teaches to the sending his money that she teaches the children and house and organise to just making a board of himself and sending some almsgiving for and the children like as many animals. It is not below well will and a general so-called good time as the associates as long as an art show and/or art agency. What matter to them if the does are a little too much and consume much that anything else a glistened as— are it a good show? They are an stinking of the wife and allies at more than they must do. She hints at the second good time. Why sometimes she says and how soon sometimes? Who are responsible for the non-pending?

How many you tell her in with any suggestion of how far the good to you and the bad to you, and how small you need the worldly woman without a minded to infuse you passion and worldly understanding that you are the good to you to admire a wife to know you are to that you are an adored daughter to you the present.

IF THEY COULD VOTE We feel perfectly satisfied that of the thousands of babies that are suffering for the bare necessities of life; the hundreds of mothers who are denied the pleasures of home and happiness; the thousands of children who have not decent clothes to go to school and who from time to time are abused by drunken fathers, had a vote, Baltimore would go dry by the biggest vote ever cast at an election. It is a pity that these sufferers of "personal liberty" cannot have a word to say in driving this demon of drink from their midst. We have heard that a meeting was held in this city recently, in a church, in which the sale of liquor was advocated by preachers, or those who call themselves preachers. Judas was a saint compared to so-called men of this stripe. They would sell their Lord for a good deal less than "thirty pieces of silver." They are a disgrace to their cloth and should be driven from among decent men. GETTING POOR SATISFACTION GETTING FOOK SATISFACTION The "checklers" do not seem to be getting much comfort from the answers they get to their questions from Mr. Hughes. It is without question that they are doing their own cause more damage than they are doing the Republican candidate. Nine cases out of ten the audience is with the speaker and the cause is helped rather than hindered. There ought not to be cast a single colored vote for President Wilson. Not only has the lowered the people of the country in the eyes of the world, but he has proved recurrent to the trust imposed in him by thousands of colored voters all over the country. After betraying these people as he has, can any respectable man, white or colored, believe that he will do anything he says? A man's word ought to be as good if not better than his bond, Mr. Wilson's word ought not to be worth anything at all, judging from his actions as regards his promises to the colored people of this country previous to his selection. None of Mr. Wilson for us. The boards of education that banished the old fashioned slate twenty years ago as a purveyor of germs and disease carrier, could hardly have foreseen that their successors of today would seriously consider the advisability of restoring slate and sponge to their former place in school economy. However, if the price of paper continues to rise, the New York City Board of Education has declared its intention of employing the slate in the lower grades. Kansas coyotes running in packs instead of in pairs, and the plentiful crop of acorns this year are signs interpreted by the weather prophets as inductive of a hard winter ahead. A steady fall in temperature does not mean a fall in the price of coal. --- When the substitution of pure English for the dialect of songs to be sung in the New York public schools following so closely on the heels of the enticement of its colored laborers, the South will find itself shorn of all relics of the Ante-bellum, and all evidences of the post-bellum Negro. "FEMALE OF THE SPECIES" "Until now very few persons have ever stopped to inquire why it is that women can out talk men; at least very few persons have put their inquiries into print, so that the great majority have simply regarded womanly loquaciousness as a natural quality of the female of the species. "A woman is bound to have the last word," they have said, and dismissed the matter without further thought. It has remained for a German professor to give the physiological basis which clears up for all time why it is that women can out talk men. By very delicate measurements the professor has been able to show that the soprano uses only one-tenth of the lung power that the deep contralto employs, and the tenor needs put into his singing only one-seventh to one-seventeenth of the force of the barytone. The tenor and the soprano in making tones brings the vocal chords close together and force is required to vibrate the edges alone. The contralto and the bass open their throats wider in order to vibrate a greater section of the vocal chords, so that more air and greater expenditure of force are necessary to produce sounds. What is true of singing is true as well of talking, the scientist tells us. Thus the average woman uses only one seventh to one-seventeenth of the force the average man uses in ordinary conversation. It accounts for the fact that the heavy voiced person has very little to say, while the squeaky voiced individual gets in seven or eight words to his one. ATTACKS UPON THE CHURCH Almost the same time that Mr. Duckery in pointing to the indifference of the local church, held it largely to blame for the dissatisfaction of the colored laborers who attempted settlement here, Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church, was calling the Kansas Conference from the disposition to follow the spirit of the age and "spend too much time in worldly enjoyment and pleasure." The truth of the matter seems to be that the Christian Church was never as much, under fire as it has been in recent years. A very short while ago there was some exaltation in the pagan world as well as some questionings in the Christian world as to why Christianity had not kept the world out of war. Now the disturbances in the labor world leads the workers to find fault with the church for its failure to set itself definitely and unmistakably for the democratic movement to forward the kingdom of heaven on earth. As one workman is said to have put it, "To the average workman, the church seems more concerned about the sweet by and by than the bitter here and now." The literary Digest gives this testimony of another laborer: "The sermon, always appeared to me to reconcile things I couldn't understand. Mysterious religious authority was always given which I accepted. When I talked to the minister about definite cases of suffering in a hard strike, where he and I both believed the men were not to blame, he still insisted that somehow it was all right, and somewhere in the future it would be set straight. Now, my experience has taken that belief out of me, or, at any rate, the kind of authority he gives for it I can not any longer accept. Nor do I believe the Jesus he talks so much about would have accepted it or acted on it either. The successful classes, even if they didn't know it, or mean it, have used religion and heaven to keep the peace and to put off a lot of troublesome duties. When I found this out I threw it all over." Just how widespread is this discontent with the church for "playing safe" instead of entering into the life of its members cannot be said, but it does seem certain that all of these questionings will bring about the very thing desired—a more practical Christianity. THE FIRST CAUSE OF THE Because of the large demand for able bodied men in Europe, the increase in population in the United States as the result of emigration last year was only one fourth of what it was fifteen years ago. Then four hundred thousand emigrants, chiefly from the southern and eastern portions of the European mainland, arrived here. In the five years from 1900 to 1905 the number of aliens coming to our shores arose by leaps and bounds until the million mark was passed. In 1913 and 1914 the high point was reached and the total of incoming foreigners reached 1,200,000. Last year, 1915, in spite of the demand for soldiers and workers, 300,000 sought refuge from war ridden Europe in this country, but 200,000 others migrated back across the Atlantic, so that the actual increase in population as the result of foreign immigration is only 100,000. Here is the first cause of the labor shortage in the Northern and Western manufacturing cities. Where they have been able to count on the yearly increase of 1,200,000 in the ranks of labor, one twelfth of that number, a measly 100,000 filtered in, and were gobbled up in the cities of the Eastern Seaboard, while the more inland sections waited in vain for their annual apportionment of laborers. How much the West has depended on foreign labor to handle its industry can be seen in the fact that 70 per cent of its population is foreign born, or the immediate descendants of foreigners—the hyphenates of whom the political candidates are having so much to say. With this deficit of more than a million in industrial ranks, the North and West turned to the poorly paid colored laborer in the South, and in spite of Southern objection has succeeded in importing 500,000 in the past six months. Continuing at this rate, and there is every likelihood that the movement will continue for a while at least, the South would be drained of every working man at the end of four years. After that the Northern and Western capitalist may be forced to do business with the South American half-breed, the capable African or the humble Asiatic, but meantime as the Milwaukee Leader observes: GRACE PRES REFES "Looks like hard times for the people down South. They may have to go to work, or give up their favorite amusement of lynching Negroes." ADVERTISING That the colored people of Baltimore are in advance of their race brethren in other cities, is fully demonstrated in the amount of advertising they do each week and the medium they take to express it. Last week the Philadelphia Tribune published 306 inches of advertising; the New York Age, with State advertisements included, published 306 inches; the Commonwealth, a local paper, published 214 inches of advertisements, while the Afro-American published 563 inches. This was 203 inches more than the Tribune; 187 inches more than the New York Age and 344 inches more than our local contemporary. This shows the popularity of the Afro-American as an advertising medium. As such it has no superior. DR. FRANCE MAKING A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN Congressional Candidates Are Also Making the Rounds. Dr. Joseph I. France, Republican candidate for the United States Senate, and the six Republican Congressional candidates are making vigorous campaigns. David J. Lewis, who is opposing Dr. France, voted for various anti-Negro measures while a member of the State Legislature and in Congress. Congressman Linthicum, who wants to be reelected, is the author of Maryland's Jimcrow car law, and Mr. Lewis was one of the supporters of the bill. All of Maryland's present delegation in Congress have supported various measures introduced therein to humiliate the race. The delegation also favored the cutting off of the appropriation of Howard University, which was urged by some of the Southern members. Robert F. Duer is making a rattling good fight in the first District, as is William Lawrence in the second. Charles P. Coady has considerable opposition among Democrats in the Third and Charles W. Main is making the fight of his life there to succeed Coady. He is one of the most active Republicans in the State and made a fine record when a member of the Legislature. Down in the Fifth District, Congressman Mudd looks like a sure winner and State Senator Zhliman looks like a sure bet in the Sixth. J. Frank Fox, a member of the last Legislature, is making an uphill fight against Linthicum in the Fourth and has received many Democratic offers of support. REV. CUMMINGS RAPS THE SALOON THE SALOON KEEPERS "The saloonkeeper gets your money and does not care a rap for your welfare," asserted Rev. C. G. Cummings at the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Alliance Monday. "In speaking at various points in the city," he went on to say, "I have found the people anxious to hear about the saloon. As they have been told the startling sum that the race spends for the white man's liquor, and of the hostility of the liquor interests to their best interests, they have been interested and some have voiced their hostility to the continuance of the traffic." He declared that the saloon man took the dollars from the poor ones and then moved to fine neighborhoods when he got rich. He closed with a plea for a big final drive against the saloon. Mrs. Eliza Peterson, of Texas, made an effective plea against the saloon. She is organizer of the colored work of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and as such has traveled all over the country. She declared that everywhere the saloon has been voted out that conditions have become better, and made a plea that Maryland prohibit the liquor traffic in order that its young womanhood and manhood be saved. Rev. James G. Martin presided. Rev. M. J. Naylor will preside at the November meeting and Rev. Charles E. Stewart will be the essayist. ISRAEL S. LEE DEAD Israel S. Lee, Jr., died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. William H. McAbee, of 1520 Argyle avenue, on Thursday of last week, following a three month illness from African fever He contracted the disease while working on the West Coast of Africa for the African Union Trading Company. He was brought to this country one month ago, but medical attention failed to effect a cure. Mr. Lee was born in Charleston, S. C., 24 years ago. He was graduated from the Pittsburg High School in 1910 and spent the subsequent two years as a student at the University of Pittsburgh. The father of the deceased, Rev. I. S. Lee, is now stationed in Memphis, but served four years as pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church this city. A mother, two sisters and three brothers are also among the surviving relatives. Fingeral services were held at 1520 Argyle avenue Sunday afternoon, with Rev. L. Z. Johnson and Rev. P. W. Worthham officiating. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. MADAME E. AZALIA HACKLEY Madame E. Azalia Hackley, the founder of the Normal Vocal Institute of Chicago, will be in Baltimore, on FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21th, and she will give a free noise culture demonstration at AMES M. E. CHURCH, corner of Baker and Carey streets. Madame Hackley is well known throughout the country, having given more than fifteen years, touring the country, visiting the schools and the small communities, devoting her whole time to the cause of music. Her demonstrations are excellent, something out of the ordinary, and well worth hearing. This is your opportunity to get your FIRST LESSON IN VOICE CULTURE FREE. Madame Hackley comes as the guest of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. By a vote of about 39 to 24 the congregation of Grace Presbyterian Church rejected a motion to unite with the Madison Street Presbyterian Church, at a meeting of the congregation held at the church, Etting and Dolphin street, Thursday night of this week. At the same time by a unanimous vote the congregation of the Madison Street Church voted to unite with the Grace Church if it met with the approval of the members of the other church. The meeting at Grace Church developed into a contest between the elders and trustees, the former declaring that a union was not only impossible, but undesirable while the latter urged a union as the only way out of a delicate situation. Mr. William McAbee, who led the forces in favor of a union stated that the church was in a poor financial condition, owing $6,000 on the debt of the church and about $800 in running expenses and that during the past few months had not been able to keep up the salary of the supply pastor. Others stated that the church had not grown during the past ten years but instead had shown a decrease in membership. Messrs. W. A. Jones and Frank P. Melchor spoke along a similar vein. Mr. James Nichols, an elder, stated that an article appearing in the Afro-American last week was inspired by men who were in favor of a union of the two churches and that these men had resorted to political trickery in bringing about the present condition. After being charged by Rev. Phillips, white, who presided, to leave out personalities, he withdrew his remarks. Others who spoke against a union of the two churches were Messrs. W. G. Thomas, Agustus Frey, Jesse Ireland and Miss Charlotte Davage. No specific reasons were given by those who were opposed to union other than "Grace Church don't want to unite with Madison Street." During the meeting feeling ran high at several times and the presiding officer had difficulty in restraining those who took part in the discussion from indulging in ugly personalities. The meeting at Madison Street, in direct contrast to the meeting at Grace and was harmonious to a marked degree. Dr. L. Z. Johnson, presided. A DUTY OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE The Quality Amusement Corporation feels sorely disappointed at the lack of support accorded by Baltimore's colored population after the gallant fight it made for the race in the interest of enlightenment and opportunities for the young Negro of Baltimore. It will be an absolute disgrace to the 95,000 Negroes of Baltimore if there isn't enough race pride and appreciation to rally to the support of a benefactor. If the Quality Amusement Corporation is not producing the kind of plays the colored people want, they are giving the kind the race stands mostly in need of. The great diffusers of enlightenment in our Republic are the little red school house, the pulpit and the theatre. The great sermons that have been delivered from the rostrum of the Colonial during the last six weeks have been educational, ennobling and inspiring. If the masses can be aroused to come and drink of the lessons that are taught, the demeanor, modes, customs and general attitudes of the race will be revolutionized and that uncount fellow who has too often made us blush for shame by his untoward acts in public places, conveyances etc., will totally disappear. Why the colored citizen will submit to the indecencies, and discriminations heaped upon him in the white play houses of Baltimore and conduct his well gowned female companions thru back alleys and up innumerable flights of stairs when an elaborate and modern house like the Colonial offering them every polite accommodation and convenience exists, is a famentable weakness that is traceable to his leaders only. All races have had to make sacrifices to achieve their goal. If the Colonial does not give you the kind of shows you are looking for, it is your bound duty to make the sacrifice and spend one night a week there until it is enabled to comply with your wants. In this particular I beseech you fellow citizens to be loyal and rally to the only play house that opens avenues to your boys and girls and where only you may breathe the air of freedom. PLAN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Kansas City, Mo., Octo. 19.—Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, and others are behind a movement to start a Negro vocational school near Independence. ```markdown ``` HUGHES ON REUNITED PARTY., "I come to you as the spokesman of : reunited party.

NICHOLSON VOTE FOR PROHIBITION Why I Shall Vote For A ...Dry Baltimore... 1. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because I am determined to do my part in helping to put Maryland in the column with the Nineteen Prohibition States. I am strongly of the opinion that if so many great States of our Nation have driven out strong drink, that it is a bad thing for my State. 2. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because it is a Non-Partisan issue, and does not in any way interfere with my voting for my choice for the Presidency of the United States, or any other candidates 3. I shall be sure to vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore so that I may make emphatic my Protest to a widely circulated rumor by the Wets, that they have the Colored Vote, and are sure of the victory on this account. 4. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because as a resident of a restricted district that has no saloons, I am interested in the welfare and advancement of those living in licensed districts and am very desirous of getting rid of the saloon. 5. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because the saloons thrive in the neighborhoods of poor hard working people. The owners of breweries, distilleries and saloons do not have their homes among those who spend their money with them. They become rich in a short time and take up their residences on the boulevards of our City and out in the beautiful suburbs. They are cowardly and ungrateful in that they will not do anything to help their victims when they have spent their last penny with them; and have nothing for their wives and children. 6. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because I regard my ballot as a sacred trust, and that it should be used on all occasions constructively, and in the interest of public welfare. To vote wet I would be using my ballot against my own highest good, and, also that of my neighbor. 7. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because there are hundreds of victims of the saloon, some that never draw a sober breath, but who are disgusted with the almost helpless condition to which they have been reduced, and are anxiously looking to those stronger than themselves to assist in removing their worst enemy—strong drink. "Am I my brother's keeper?" Yes. 8. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because aside from anything that ought to be said to the contrary—IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ..ABOUT THE CITY..

Kansas City, Kans.—I consider it an awful thing for a mother to go to clean out a school because of something their son or daughter said concerning the teacher or teachers. For trouble and if you encourage them then they go right on to the devil or some other place. Then it is not the best thing for any one to go into a school to make an exhibition of themselves. You see the children are there and you will make an impression on them. I saw a mother the other day in the Summer High School just making an exhibition out of herself about her own dear little dumpling darling daughter. You see this girl had not made good marks and she said that it was due to the fact that one of the boys had disturbed her books, kicked her on the foot and would not let her study. This mother rolled up her sleeves, went to the school, asked the principal without saying what the trouble was, where her daughter was at that period. She got the daughter, went to the door where the boy was, called him out and then proceeded to say things which did not belong in Sunday School. The boy cried like a baby and declared that he had not interfered with the girl. The attention of Principal Hodge was attracted, he had them to come into the office, sent for all the parties concerned, and called in witnesses, and it turned out that the girl had just handled the truth a little careless, and the mother had made all this exhibition of herself. I do not know whether or not the young people of my race really appreciate the opportunity they have, and if they do not then it is not my fault. I have tried to tell them what to do and the importance of doing all that I have told them. They have some fine high schools here in Kansas City, Kans. Prof. John M. Marquess, who was here so long has been transplanted in the state school of Oklahoma as president, and the new principal is indeed a fine man. I met all of the high up school teachers, and liked them all. I did not get over to see the school of which Mrs. Harlan is at the head, but saw her. I wrote to you last week from Wichita, Kans., where I was attending the A. M. E. Conference, presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, and it was some real conference believe me. They spoke right out in church about everything, and then said some few things about the next president of the United States. Rev J. J. Hanson is some pumpkins in this conference, and he is just going right along to the front. He is getting in line for the bishopric, and I think 1820 will land him right in the chair and he will make real good for that time. I have in mind several who will be on the list then. Bishop Parks, has been doing some real good work in this part of the world. The people are all pleased to have him back and predict that great work will be done under his new administration. I congratulate him upon his return. He is some speaker. They have some real good schools in Wichita. It is just a few years ago that they put in the city separate grammar schools, and they made good. The high school is mixed, and as it looks now it will not be long before there will be a separate high school. I am not going to talk about that now. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. West and his teachers, and talked with all of them, and then met the children. I told you in my letter last week about Mayor Bently taking a ride with us. I have never seen anything like it before in my history, and I have some history to start with. The conference was in session and they did do some good work, and when I left there I came right on to Kansas City, Kans., to attend the meeting of the Baptist State Convention, and they have had a good convention. Rev. W. A. Bowren, presided over the convention, while Mrs. Emma Gaines, presided over the women. She lives in Topeka, Kans. The people have honored her for years because she deserves to be honored. She is just one of the best women I have ever met. Her membership is in Shiloh Baptist Church. In society and church she has a good standing. Speaking of society and church. A few days ago I had an invitation from Shiloh to spend Sunday. It came from Deacon Monroe, but then he telegraphed me that there was a man coming who wanted the church and told me not to come, and then made me pay for the telegram. Coming back to the convention. They have had a great meeting, but believe me Rev. George McNeal took off his coat so to speak, rolled up his sleeves and flayed Editor Nick Chiles from A to Z and then put in a little so forth. You see Editor Chiles attended the convention held in Kansas City, Mo., and when it was over he began to write about it, and in strong language denounced the members of the National Baptist Convention which was held in Savannah, Ga. The men who went to the National Convention were deponounced and the convention was called a mob. They were accused of taking the money and the Lord knows what else. Then Editor Chiles signed it and published all he said in his own paper. The Staptists of Kansas who went any where at all went to Savannah, Ga., and they did not like it, and they told the Editor so right to his own face. He was informed that they would not support a paper that would abuse them and misrepresent them. I do not know what the outcome will be, but I do know that he could have staid out of it. The paper had something to say about me not being able to get to make a speech at the Colonial Theatre a few weeks ago. I think the next time I come there my stomach will be reduced. I am going to trim some of it down if it will stand trimming. Without a doubt the Colonial is the largest theatre in this country operated by my people, and I am glad to note that the people of Baltimore are going to appreciate it. going to appear. It is an undertaking, and it is better to go there than it is to go up in the buzzard roost in some of the other come when our people will absolutely refuse to go up in the buzzard roost. With enterprises like the one in the city of Baltimore there will soon come the time when it will not be necessary. That time is now, for one can stay away from theatre all their lives rather than be humiliated. God bless you all. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE The second quarterly conference of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church was held at the church Monday night. Reports showed that the congregation raised about $450 during the quarter. Rev. E. H. Curry, the presiding elder, presided. Rev. J. A. S. Cole is pastor of the church. IN INTEREST OF FALL RALLY Special services have been held nightly at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church this week in the interest of the fall rally. An apple dumping supper was given on Monday night and the following night Bishop Isaac Newton Ross, a former pastor, preached to a large congregation. Entertainment were given Wednesday and Thursday nights. McGUINN SILVER LEAF CIRCLE The McGuinn Silver Leaf Circle of Mt. Winans, of the State Federation had a sermon preached to them at Sharp Street Chapel, on Sunday, October 15, 1916, by Rev. Aguilla. Remarks of encouragement were made to the club by Miss P. L. Cummings, vice president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs; Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president of the Maryland State Federation, and others. A splendid collection was raised. After the exercises a collation was served the visitors by the club at Mrs. Arnold's on Russell street, Mt. Winans. Mrs. Parks, president. DIVORCE GRANTED The Circuit Court, Number 11 of Baltimore City, has recently granted Mrs. Emma Haliburton of 1842 Druid Hill avenue, an absolute divorce from her husband, John G. Haliburton. The court further ordered that the complainant be allowed to resume her malden name and that the defendant pay all the costs. Mrs. Haliburton was represented in the suit by Attorney Roy S. Bond. Adv. Wilson—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear sister, Mary E. Wilson, who departed this life, October 18, 1915. Dear is the grave where my sister lays Sweet is the memory which never shall fade Roses may wither, leaves fade and die Others may forget you, but never shall I.

Skinner. 1310 N. Carey Street ..Men I Have Known.. BY HORACE D. SLATTER [Name] DR. ROBERT R. MOTON Principal Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Just at this time Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute assumes major importance in the public eye because of his selection as the successor, to the late Dr. Booker T Washington. Always a busy, earnest, but modest man, Dr Moton has assumed his duties at Tuskegee without the flourish of arms or the blare of trumpets and has gone on the even tenor of his way, familiarizing himself with his new and larger duties, and taking up his burdens as they have presented themselves to him. That is characteristic of Major Moton. (One can not get used to the sudden change from Major to Doctor.) While only commandant at Hampton Institute, he was easily the most prominent member of the governing council, notwithstanding Hampton has a mixed faculty, and to him was entrusted many important and delicate missions for the Institute. Major Moton, while commandant at Hampton, was in a sense Northern agent for the institution and frequently addressed important gatherings in the North in the interest of Hampton. That he was a graduate of Hampton and the most important member of the faculty, proved much in favor of Hampton's cause, and his happy faculty of making friends for Negro education, and keeping them, did much to present him to the board of trustees as the successor to Dr. Washington. His was the one other "forced personality" that the trustees felt was needed at Tuskegee. Dr. Moton is no curiosity and there is but small reason for his being regarded so throughout the country. His success is logical and his selection as principal of Tuskegee Institute seems to have been inevitable. He seems to have been peculiarly fitted for the work at Hampton and at Taskegee, and however much there might be some disposition to belltle such work, there is nothing in it to be despised. Dr Moton is an earnest, faithful, diplomatic worker, looking always to the end. He is intensely interested in his people, and has not, by any means, minimized the importance of the work he has undertaken. He has realized the great significance of an educational institution like Taskegee in the heart of the South, and knows how important it is that the life work of his Illustrious predecessor shall be preserved, not only as a memorial to him, but continued as an untold blessing to the race. If it requires diplomacy, sometimes, to secure these results, surely that diplomacy is no less to be appreciated than the brand in vogue in the capitals of Europe. It is gratifying to his friends to know that like the late Dr. Washington, Dr. Moton has adopted the policy of ignoring criticism and refuses to answer and deny all sorts of statements published and otherwise. Many an individual who criticises men like Dr. Moton, who are trying to do an important work for the race and humanity simply fail to comprehend their viewpoint. It is a very different point of view we take when we suffer, instead of merely moralizing upon the suffering of others; especially we who feel that we know what is right and lack in great part the imagination to comprehend the other man's viewpoint. To us of that cast of mind, there is only one viewpoint and that is our own, and only a bodily departure to the other man's hilltop or valley, as the case may be, will open the eyes and enlarge the understanding to the extend of even allowing our fellows to see things in another light from our own. Dr. Moton had the up-bringing and the training to make him fully comprehend the needs of the Negro and to understand the different viewpoints that would be taken by various elements with reference to those very needs. He, like Dr Washington, has simply emphasized his viewpoint. Being with him year after year, as on the various tours of Southern States with Dr Washington, he went into every portion of our Southland, one could see that he was giving close attention to every phase of Negro life and considering deeply all of their trials and struggles. Never obtrusive, he had the knack of getting what he wanted without giving offense, and if it often remarked that he was very much like Dr. Washington in his meth ods and manner. I could not help but note about Major Moton, as was true of other big men who frequently made up Dr. Washington's parties, that his uniform kindness, politeness and consideration of others was anything but an affection. He was never too busily engaged to turn a courteous answer to any simple query that occurred in the day's intercourse, and to me and other workers on these tours; he was as nice as he was to the other members of the party. He was extremely gracious, and on occasion, would go out of his way, without solicitation, to do a kindness or a favor. It is attention to such little things that make really big men. I have seen nothing that more accurately describes Dr Moton's attitude than these words written by William Anthony Aery: "He faces facts as they are. He realizes that race adjustments must be made in order to insure progress. He makes a two-fold plea—have the Negro grasp firmly the elements of race consciousness a high moral idea and intelligent industry; have white people act with patience in all matters of race relations." Major Moton's career was strangely like that of Dr. Washington from the beginning. It seemed to have been inevitable that there should have sprung up between the two a friendship based not upon anything superficial, but upon a commonness of purpose, a oneness of ideals. Both went to Hampton poorly prepared but with determination to win out at all hazards. Both underwent the same training under new circumstances, taking post graduate work as instructors in Hampton's busy work shop. Ray Stannard Baker termed Dr. Washington, "a maker of understandings between the races" So Dr. Washington's successor, Humpton seems peculiarly fitted for such important work. If it had done nothing more than give to the world Booker Washington, Hampton's existence would have been justified; but to have trained Dr. Washington's successor along the same broad and utilitarian lines, constitutes the fullest measure of its worth to humanity for the one institution. No greater tribute to Hampton can be paid. Dr. Moton himself happily expresses his gratitude to Hampton in these words before Northern audiences "it has helped the people to an appreciation of the dignity of the labor of the hands. It has helped whites and blacks to work together in harmony and mutual helpfulness by offering a platform where they can come together for a discussion of their difficulties. It has helped create in the Negroes respect for his own race." Not only at Hampton and for Hampton has Major Moton proved his adaptability to race leadership and his availability for the eminent position to which he has lately been called, but in the Negro Organization Society, unique in Virginia's efforts to help in the solution of the race problem, he assumed a leadership that has been particularly efficacious and wholesome in the uplift of the Negro in that commonwealth. Perhaps I should not have said "assumed" a leadership. Rather was Dr. Moton drafted to the leadership of this organization. In "The History of the Negro Organization Society" Mr W. T. B. Williams tells us that "so many ideas were finally fused into the plans and purposes of the organization that it is not possible to credit any person with its creation" and if that represents the true facts in the case, it is peculiarly significant that Virginia's Negro leaders should settle upon Major Moton as the head of the organization. The Negro Organization Society is as unique as it is useful and important. The dominant idea was that the society should interest and include all the colored people of the State without in any way conflicting with the various organizations already at work. They were all included in the society, but their individual work was not hampered. The society began its active work in August, 1912 with a vigorous campaign for school improvement and disease prevention. It has to its credit a long list of accomplishments, not necessary to go into here, but accomplishments of such a nature that prove the founding of the society to have been one of the wisest movements inaugurated among the Negro people. Special campaigns for social uplift have been made thru various sections of Virginia with Dr. Moton, president of the society, leading. On all such occasions other officials of the society and leaders in the State made up the party. In this work, Dr. Moton has taken the leading part, and has been graciously granted the leadership by the whole State. Prof. John M. Gandy, as executive secretary; Allen Washington, treasurer; T. C. Erwin and T. C. Walker, field agents, have kept the work of the society alive throughout the year and have extended its benefits to the whole State. The social uplift tour this year was made in the Northern neck of Virginia. Better homes, better health, better farms, a higher moral sense, is a mighty good slogan to carry to the masses of any people, and Dr. Moton's elevation to the principalship of Tusteguee only gives him a wider field of usefulness, only broadens his sphere. There is no doubt of his making good, the carpings of the critics to the contrary notwithstanding. As a matter of fact, he has already made good, in a field peculiarly trying and under circumstances calling for the highest amount of tact and diplomacy. His personality, his manner and bearing declaim him the perfect gentleman, the ideal leader, the sympathetic friend and counselor, and in such a trying position as head of Tuskegee, with all its responsibilities and duties he will have ample opportunity to call all his talents into play. He needs the sympathy and cooperation of all elements in race life, and he should have it. Robert R. Moton is a man who deserves the best in life because he is perfectly willing to put the best he has into life. He has done it all these years at Hampton and in Virginia. Hence, his elevation to the Negro premiership. Mr. L. Lehrman VanNockay, of 2115 Drudl Hill avenue, has returned from a four month stay in Pittsfield, Mass., spending a few days in Boston and New York, in both cities visiting his many friends.

A thrilling three-reeler, on Monday entitled The Hidden Face, and the 14th episode of "Peg of the Ring are on the boards. Wednesday marks the return of the favorite star Helen Holmes, in five acts. On Thursday the detective serial "Fartomas" will be shown. The real big day, however is Saturday, when the two greatest serials of present times: "The Grip of Evil," and the "Yellow Menace," will be filmed. The latter serial appears in its first episode, and will be a stupendous masterpiece, entitled the "Dragon's Claws." A GOOD CARD AT THE REGENT The Regent Theatre offers a varied and catchy bill for next week. There will be high-class vaudeville, the best feature moving pictures and an orchestra under the leadership of Prof. Isaiah Thompson. The Brown Sisters, singers and dancers; Burns and Burns, who appear in a comedy role, and moving pictures daily. "The Return of Sam Langford" is attracting big crowds this week. Billy Watts and Mme. Patti Willis are the stars of the play. Manager Mosely is always on the alert for the best in vaudeville and motion pictures for his patrons, and next week's program will be one of rare excellence. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BUSY For the past two weeks the Athletic Association of Morgan College has been busy outlining the year's work in athletics which has been placed in charge of the following committee: Mr. C. Harry Johnston, chairman; Miss Lula Briggs, secretary; Dr. S. Bernard Hughes, Prof. Calloway, Mr. Carter, Mr. Everett Lane and Mr. Smith. This year the committee expects to have the college well represented in foot ball, basket ball, track, base ball and tennis. Mr. Gordon Byrd, manager of the foot ball team, has already completed arrangements for a game with the Annapo'i Athletic Club, at Annapolis, Friday; October 20, and is arranging games with the Manassas Industrial School, Storer College and possibly Lincoln University, all of which will be played in Baltimore. Captain Everett Lane has succeeded in piloting to Goose Hill a large squad of good material from which we are sure Coach Booker will form one of the best foot ball teams Morgan College has ever produced.
