The Afro-American

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER --- VOL. XXV. No.10 Suffragan Bishop Will Now Have Both Seat and Voice In The House of Bishops. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 23—The readiness of the Afro-American are, doubtless, anxious to learn of the result of the request made of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church for legislation whereby colored bishops may be had. The specific request of the Conference of Church Workers, for Missionary or racial bishops, was denied, but the legislation which obtained, makes it possible t oceasure far more than was in the minds of those who made the request for Missionary Districts. The Bishops of the Church seemed determined not to destroy or impair the present system of unity of the diocese under one chief bishop. While adhering strictly to the above, a sympathetic disposition was shown to meet the needs of the colored people by dignifying the Suffragan Bishop with both seat and voice in the house of Bishops. Under the action taken, it is now possible to have racial Suffragan Bishop in any diocese of the church in the North or in the South. If, for instance, in New York or Pennsylvania, the colored clergy, and laity, convince the diocesan that such an agency could be used advantageously in church extension among colored people, the convention of such diocese could, and doubtless would, elect a colored priest as Suffragan. This would not at all change the relationship of the colored parishes, and clergy, towards the diocesan convention, but, in addition thereto, there would be a colored man, a real Bishop, with the same spiritual powers as the diocese, but subject to, the diocese in operating the particular work laid upon him. The various mission points, Sunday school institutes, social and reform workers would be comprehended in an association of Negro work presided over by the Suffragan Bishop. Such Suffragan Bishop would be the special arm of the diocese in church extension among the colored people of the diocese. By a judicious use of the office, social betterment of the colored people of the State would be promoted, and many possible future problems forestalled. While the memorialists still believe that the Missionary District plan was, and is, the best plan that can be designed, yet the church having definitely answered their plea by adopting the racial Suffragan plan, whereby the integrity of the diocese may be preserved all loyal churchmen must, in good faith, give opportunity for a testing and trial of such a plan. MUSICAL DIRECTOR AT HAMPTON TO WED Hampton, Va., Oct. 23—The engagement is announced here of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampton Choral Union and director of vocal music at Hampton Institute, to Miss Helen Elise Smith, planist, of New York. Miss Smith is one of the directors of the Martin-Smith School of Music in New York. She holds two diplomas from the Institute of Music Art, or which Walter Damrosch is the director.

PROGRESSIVE SAMARIANS MEET The National Grand Lodge of the Progressive Order of Knights and Daughters of Samaria closed its 26th annual session at Moses Hall. The reports of the grand officers showed progress along all lines. The order is composed of eleven adult lodges and three juveniles, total membership of 465. The total worth of the order is $6816.75. The following grand officers were elected and installed by P. G. Comm. R. H. Baker, for the ensuing year: Elijah House, P. G. C.; James B. Alkins, N. G. Comm.; James H. Seaton, N. G. D.; Henrietta Brown, G. V. P. D.; Emma C. Douglass, N. G. R.; Laura B. L. Long, N. G. F. S.; James M. Seward, N. G. Trees; Charles F. Mitchell, N. G. D. W.; Ringgold, N. G. Chap; John Kent, N. G. Marshal, Kiesa Goss, N. G. Con.; Carrie Jackson, N. G. Lecturer; George Strickland, N. G. I. G.; John E. Cunningham, N. G. O. G.; Elizabeth J. Staten, Hester Williams, May Bell, Lily Thomas, Clara Daily, Sadie Moten, N. G. Supports. ANOTHER FRATERNITY TO AIR TROUBLES IN COURT Trouble has broken out in the Order of Galilean Fishermen, according to some of those deeply interested in the affairs of the fraternity. A goodly number of the members are up in arms because the supreme ruler, Joseph P. Evans, is alleged to have summarily removed Mrs. Lella Lightfoot, of Culpepper, Va., from the position of financial secretary. The supreme ruler is said to have become apry because Mrs. Lightfoot did not forward some papers, the custody of which he desired. Mrs. Jennie Brown, who was an unsuccessful candidate for the position last August, was named to succeed Mrs. Lightfoot. Then there is trouble over the money held by the supreme treasurer, J. Macauley Dorsey, of this city. Mr. Dorsey has acceptably filled the office since 1911, his friends assert. He was re-elected last August, and has since been bonded for $500 by the Fidelity and Deposit Company. The supreme ruler is said to have appointed Columbus Gordon, Mrs. Marietta Stewart and Frank Dorsey as a banking committee, and demanded that the treasurer turn over all moneys in his possession to the committee. This Mr. Dorsey declined to do, on the ground that he had been elected treasurer and that the bonding company would ONLY hold him responsible if anything happened to his accounts. Falling in his efforts to have the money turned over to the committee, the supreme ruler has docketed suit in Circuit Court No. 2 to compel Mr. Dorsey to turn over all money in his possession to the committee. C. C. Fitzgerald, attorney for the Order, filed the proceedings. Mr. Dorsey will fight the contention of the supreme ruler, and a lively legal battle is anticipated. HAITIANS RESENT UNITED STATES. INTERFERENCE That the great mass of Haitians do not relish the idea of the United States maintaining a protectorate over their country, is the opinion of Jean B. Rousseau, a native of that country, Mr. Rousseau was educated at the Sorbonne Paris, and speaks seven languages. He has traveled all over the world, and relates many interesting experiences. He says that representative Haitians believe that the United States exercised coercion in getting their country to agree to a protectorate, and that it is an example of the "dollar" policy of the Wilson administration. He says that many wealthy Haitians have gone to other countries to live, rather than live in a country dominated by the United States. He says that France and Germany treat their colonists well and that the Negro soldiers have done a great deal to aid the Allies. The Germans may have pushed their way into Paris, he thinks, if it had not been for the black soldiers. TO FEATURE RACE PROGRESS Chicago, Oct. 26—The Birth of a Race Photoplay Corporation, working in association with the Selig Polyscope Company, is planning the launching of a big photo-play "The Birth of a Race." It will be the aim of the promoters to depict the Negro in such manner as to offset some of the harm done by Thomas Dixon's "Birth of a Nation." Julius Rosenwald, former President Taft, Major R. R. Moton and Dr. Hollis B. Frissell are among the prominent men interested in its production. Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery" will be used as a basis for the play. The prologue will be from scenes laid in Africa. The corporation is capitalized at $1,000,000 and stock therein will be sold at $10 per share. PROMINENT DEMOCRAT HERE Cornelius D. Hughes, one of the active workers in the United Colored Democracy of New York, was a visitor here this week. He is working ardently for the re-election of President Wilson, and, incidently is handing out some hot shot to the Republicans. Contrasted with his optimism for the Democrats, is the optimism of Joseph Johnson, for the Republicans. Johnson has worked at the capitol in Washington for years and knows the ins and outs of national politics. He says it looks good for Hughes, if Wilson does not gobble up the labor vote. Mr. Johnson, who is a native of this city, spent a few days here this week. RACE INFLUX DISCUSSED Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 25—A meeting was held here last Wednesday to consider ways and means for looking after the laborers who migrate to this vicinity from the South. Rev. J. V. Freeman, pastor of Siloam Presbyterian Church, is taking a deep interest in the matter. WEALTHY FARMER DIES Lebanon, Ill., Oct. 26 - Young Turner, probably the wealthiest colored farmer in Illinois, died near here a few days ago. He was 69 years of age. He owned 1,400 acres of land, none of which was worth less than $125 per acre. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1916 Appalling Anti-Negro Stand Of Democrats Subject Of Sharp Condemnation By Prominent Men. Advisory Committee Doing Great Work. New York, October 27—With the election only ten days off, Republican leaders are making a final drive to wrest the country from the control of the Democratic party. The best orators have been sent to all sections of the country to expose the many weak points in the administration of Woodrow Wilson and of the harm that comes to the country when a sectional party is in power. to those who know me, but to those who do not know me, to assure my colored fellow-citizens of my earnest wish to see exact justice done them in every matter and not mere justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our constitution commands this, and our sympathy should also make it easy." The national headquarters located at 511 Fifth avenue, presents a busy aspect these days, as one sees tons of literature being mailed and many men and women working on the details of the campaign. One element which is doing much to line up the colored "voters for Hughes and Fairbanks is the Colored Men's Advisory Committee. Charles W. Anderson, former collector of internal revenue for the Wall Street district, is the director of this adjunct. Other veterans like Charles A. Cottrell, of Ohio; Ralph Langston, Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia; T. Thos. Fortune, Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi; Fred R. Moore, the newspaper publisher; James A. Cobb, of the District of Columbia; Dr. Ernest Lyon of Maryland; Joseph Lee, former collector of internal revenue at Jacksonville, Fla.; Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, and Chris J. Perry, of Philadelphia, are working together in concerted effort to show that the Wilson administration is inimical to the best interests of the race. Literature has been spread broadcast, showing up the appalling anti-Negro stand of the Democratic leaders of the Wilson regime. The voters of the country have been told of the segregation policy practiced in the departments at Washington, of the letting out of colored office-holders so that white democrats may succeed them, of the alleged discriminations that colored civil service employees have had to suffer and of the attempts in Congress to pass legislation curtailing the rights of the race. Speakers at colored meetings in various sections of the country have told this glaring record to large and intensive audiences. One speaker—Henry Lincoln Johnson—in addresses in Indiana attacked Thomas Taggart, who is a candidate for re-election to the Senate. He told them that Mr. Taggart may be alright to the colored people of Indiana, but in Washington he must consort with members of his party like Hoke Smith. Ben Tilliam and Jim Vardaman. In support of his contention he cited the importation into Indiana of rabid and Negro-hating Southerners as boosters of Taggart's candidacy. The Johnson attack has scared the Taggart folks, and they brought out some colored men who made statements praising the Senator but the blow had been driven home too effectively. The colored voters of the country have been reminded also that Congress came near to striking out the appropriation that the government annually gives Howard University, and that it required herculean work on the part of the friends of the University to get the appropriation restored. The Southern members of Congress were opposed to the school getting any money. It has also been shown that the Democrats made rosette promises to colored Democrats four years ago, the great majority of which lie in the grave of unfulfillment. "The attitude of the party toward the race, it is claimed, has driven hundreds of independent-minded colored men back into the ranks of the Republican party. They point to the scattered, thin and disheartened hosts of colored Democrats as what the colored people may expect with four more years of Wilsonism. COLORED DEMOCRATS Contrasted with the hustling that Republicans are doing, is the anpathy of the colored Democrats. They have headquarters in Harlem, but there is none of the snap and vigor that manifested their fight four years ago. They have lost most of the men who supported them four years ago, so great has been the disgust with the Wilson administration's policy toward them. They say that Hughes may not be an improvement on Wilson, and that they will stick to the latter, when asked as to their reasons for clinging to the Bourbons. even Bishop Walters, who worked so valiantly for Wilson four years ago and who tried to move heaven, and earth in a fruitless effort to land colored Democrats, seems not very optimistic, though he is supporting Wilson. He has seemingly forgot that President Wilson wrote his a letter four years ago, and that the spirit of the words have not been lived up to. The letter follows in part: 'I hope that it seems superfluous to those who know me, but to those who do not know me, to assure my colored fellow-citizens of my earnest wish to see exact justice done them in every matter and not more justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our constitution commands this, and our sympathy should also make it easy." President Wilson was a candidate then, just as he is now. But the spirit breathed in this letter has not even manifested during his administration, and therefore thousands who may have supported him this time will flock to Hughes in order to prevent the South from foisting its anti-Negro views on the rest of the country. Colored men of different political persuasion admit that Charles Evans Hughes rings true on the race question. His speeches have always urged fair play, and he is a man who backs up his words with deeds. If President he will interpret the law in word and spirit, and not nullify them like the Wilson regime has done in dealing with the race. Charles W. Fairbanks, the Republican vice presidential candidate also rings true on questions in which the race has an interest. "LINK" JOHNSON HERE IN HUGHES' INTEREST Henry Lincoln Johnson, one of the strongest supporters of the candidacy of Hughes and Fairbanks, spent a few days here looking over the political situation. He came from New York and is said to have told the local Republican leaders that the colored voters were opposed to Wilson, but that the leaders must work to have the full race vote polled. "This is the crucial fight of the Republican party in the nation," he told a representative of the Afro-American "and it is a crucial time for the colored voters in the country. Can they stand four years more of an administration opposed to every interest of the race? Can they endorse segregation at Washington, the hounding and demotion of colored employees and other policies tending to humiliate the race? The colored voters of Maryland must bear their share in this fight, and take into consideration the fact that a Democrat may be ever so friendly at home, but at Washington he has to take his cue from the Bourbon South. "The colored people in Indiana and other States are out to beat Wilson believing that his administration has done much to retard the chance of the race for equal rights and opportunities. The crisis is upon us and we must meet it by aiding in the turning out of the power-mad Democrats." Mr. Johnson will address an audience of women in Indianapolis this Sunday. He will probably be in the city again next week to take another look over the situation here. He was the guest of Smith's Hotel while here. SALISBURY G. O. P. ORGANIZES Salisbury, Md., Oct. 25—The Young Men's Republican Club was organized here last week and at present has an active membership of 56. The present outlook is bright for an increase of the membership to 150 by the coming election. The present memembers have pledged the sole support of this organization to help elect the entire Republican ticket. The officers are: Robert A. Henry, president; Joseph M. Cornish, vice president; George Nelson, secretary and James Jackson, treasurer. A PROMINENT OITIZEN. Sallisbury, Md. Oct. 26—Wilmer Casson, a well known resident of Wicomico county, has done much to advance the social, economic and political interests of the race hereabouts. He has just placed before the Young Men's Republican Club plans for the political progress of the race in Wicomico county. The plans have won favor with many voters. Despite his efforts to help the race in every way, Mr. Casson has had considerable opposition from several would-be leaders. They have tried to decry him to the voters, but the voters still retain their confidence in his integrity. He is unselfish and spends his money freely to help the people. DE CARDOZO RECOVERS Dr. F, N, Cardozo, one of the best known physicians in the city, is able to be out again after an illness of several weeks. WANTED WHITE MAN TO FIX HIS ORGAN The suggested employment of a colored mechanic to repair the pipe organ at the Independent A. M. E. Church and the refusal of Rev. L. C. Curtis, pastor of the church, to agree to the same, caused a clash between the minister and Sidney T. Nimmo, head of the piano and organ repairing firm of Sidney T. Nimmo & Son, Thursday. Both of the principals agree as to the difference of views, but they disagree in their interpretation of the same. Rev. Curtis says he followed the wishes of the trustees and went to Mr. Nimmo's place Wednesday morning to tell him that the church organ needed repairing. Mr. Nimmo sent his son, who found out that it was a pipe organ, and that he could not fix the same, his specialty being reed organs. The son left word that he could not fix the organ and Rev. Mr. Curtis went to the Nimmo store to find out the reason. The senior Mr. Nimmo informed him that his son could not fix the organ, but, that he knew a colored man who could make the repairs at night. The minister replied that he wanted a white man, as his trustees had so ordered. "I was astonished," Mr. Nimmo told a representative of the Afro-American, "when he said that he wanted a white man." "I told him that he showed more prejudice against his own race than a white man. I also told him that I always recognized a man by his ability and not by his color. The man I recommended, Walter Pinderhughes, has been in my employ for the past eight years, and is generally regarded as one of the best mechanics in his line in the city of any race. His services have become indispensable to me and although he has received flattering offers to go elsewhere he has remained loyal. The minister asked me to recommend a white firm, but this I rushed." "A RACE MAN" "I have always tried to aid the race and build up in every way," said Rev. Curtis to the Afro-American reporter. "The painting and repairing of my house were done by colored mechanics, and, as a race man, I stand ready at all times to help my people. "We had twice employed a certain colored man, but he made a bad job of it. That is why my trustees told me to get a white man, as they knew of no other colored man Mr. Nimmo told me that he would do my work and then suggested the colored man he did not say that he was in his employ. I would willingly let the colored man do the job, but his employer should have told me about him and his ability." DAY NURSERY BENEFIT VERY LARGELY ATTENDED A fine audience witnessed the production of "Who is She In Old Sham" at the Lyceum Theatre Friday evening of last week. The play was given for the benefit of the Day Nursery and over $200 was realized from the effort. The play was a pot pouri of the song hits of the day and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. Mrs. Daniel Miller, of the Advisory Board of the Day Nursery, and a party of girls from Goucher College occupied boxes. Those taking part in the play were trained by Edward Cramer, of New York and Philadelphia. He was assisted by Miss Ethel Lewis and Mr. Ernest Purviance. Miss Nainie Grooms deserves great credit for the successful management of the benefit. DR. BOWLES RESIGNS York, Pa., Oct. 27—On account of the press of other duties, De. George W. Bowles has resigned as president of the People's Forum. He says that he will work in the ranks now. Dr. Bowles organized the Forum six years ago. He is a practicing physician and has done good work for the economic and social uplift of the race here. "LILY WHITES" CAPITULATE Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 26—Moses Grath and Allen Hatter, both of Badger, have filed their certificates for the nominations of justice of the peace and constable, respectively. A. C. Remmell, the acting chairman of the Republican State Central Committee filed their papers. This is about face from the recent State Republican Convention, which excluded colored workers and may end the efforts of the "Lily White" party. PYTHIANS GET $7,500 HOME Birmingham, Ala., October 27—The State Banking Department has turned over the five-story building of the defunct Alabama State Penny. Prudential Savings Bank to the Knights of Pythias. The consideration was $75,000. COLLEGE BUILDING BURNS Orangeburg, S. C., Oct 26—Morrill Hall, a four-story building at the State College for Colored Students, was destroyed by fire a few days ago. The structure was valued at $35,000 and was insured for $15,000. SHOULD REJECT DEMOCRATIC RULE Bishop Clinton In Strong Address Urges Race to Vote - Entire Republican Ticket. Hendersonville, N. C., Oct. 21—Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., before the 24th annual session of the Blue Ridge Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, urged the race to vote for the entire Republican ticket in November. Said Bishop Clinton: "It seems to me that a real leader would be recruit in his duty if he did not advise and counsel with the people upon matters so vital as citizenship and the exercise of the franchise. Just now we are in the midst of a great campaign. Mr. Woodrow Wilson seeking an endorsement at the hands of the American people and Mr. Hughes and his followers trying to be elected instead of the Democrats. I am really concerned because in this State a great many of our people think they are distranchised, when in fact they are not. The so-called 'grandfather clause' does not now operate in North Carolina and any colored man has the right to vote if he will only pay his poll tax and register. To register a property qualification and educational test must be met, thousands or men could do if they would only try. Locally I would not advise our men to vote the Republican ticket, for it is largely 'Lily White,' and in State and municipal affairs we often find it expedient to vote for the man instead of the party. "What attitude should I, a leader of my people in church affairs' take in this national campaign? You recall the fact that largely upon the advice of a.bishop-of our church, to whom Mr. Wilson had made some very rosy promises four years ago, a considerable number of our people voted for the Democratic candidate. To quote Mr. Wilson's exact words, if elected he would 'exact to the Negro, justice with out prejudice.' We have seen just what interpretation Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party placed upon 'justice to the Negro.' "Segregation and rank discrimination was followed by a wholesale dismissal of all Negro office holders. All Negroes holding office was put out save Judge Terrell. Really, if a Negro, was never to hold another office, if every recognition was taken from the race in that way, I tell you, I frankly believe that the salvation of the Negro and the prosperity of the country depend upon the election of the Republican ticket. There is, indeed, nothing else with honor, left to the Negro." LEES MESSENGER DEAD. Washington, Pa., Oct. 26—Frederick Tarvey, at one time messenger to General Robert F. Lee, died her a few days ago. He had lived here for a number of years and had many friends. WHITEWASHER GETS $40,000 Providence, R. I., October 26—Dickson T. Gilliam, who follows the route work o paperhanging, whitewashing and painting, may quit that work soon as he has just been notified that an uncle died in North Carolina and left him $40,000 and some extra's. Gilliam is thrifty himself, owning five houses here. ANNAPOLIS WALLOPS MORGAN On Friday of last week the Morgan College team journeyed to Annapolis to play a game with the strong Annapolis Athletic Club and was defeated by a score of 43 to 0. This score appears overwhelming until consideration is taken of the fact that Morgan's best men of last year's team have been lost by graduation and that the present team, made up of raw material was playing the first scrimmage of the season. The Annapolis team was playing on home grounds, was much heavier and was composed of men who have several years of football experience in a real football town. From the standpoint of the Coach and other athletic officials the game admirably served the purpose for which it was designed; as a try-out. This week the boys came to Goose Hill with increased zeal and vim eager to be hammered into good shape for the Manassas game on November 3rd at Oriole Park. Morgan College line up is as follows: Ayers and J. Williams, left end; Valentine and Henson, left tackle; S. James and Camper, left guard; Webb, centre; L. James and Glascos, right guard; Smith, right tackle; Hodges, right end; Lane and I. Williams, quarter back; Dorsey, left half back; Laws, right half back; Scott, full back. Refree, Queen; Umpire, Oliver; Linesman, Booker; Timekeeper, Byrd. By Miss Emma Bright. In 1886, a group of Baltimore women felt the need of organized effect looking towards the solving of problem dealing directly with the improvement of the working woman of this particular community. Some stops and previously been made to touch the lives of the young man. Connected with the Young Men's Christian Association was an auxiliary of women. To this hand of noble spiritified women, all of whom were lending active lives, seemingly entirely filled with the duties and responsibilities of homes and church; came the utilization of the pressing need for offering an unplitting hand to the less fortunate woman—the woman without a Christian home, the woman leaving the rural district to seek more commuterary employment; the woman in danger of falling into vicious habits. Under the leadership of Sarah A. Charity, the Colorado Young Women's Christian Association was organized. It was my privilege to have taken into the work by a mother who deserved her time until the very last hour of her existence to the cause. Though only a pupil of the grammar school, work was found which even I could do, and I am proud of the fact that ever since its organization I have been connected with it in some active manner. Have served for years as secretary of the Board of Managers after having been pianist for the religious services since the first meetings. I shall always treasurer the memory of the years when I was permitted to labor with the late Mrs. M. J. Murphy during all the years of her wonderful service, sharing, as fellow of floor and friend, the problems and difficulties of the constructive period of the Association. Now that the early struggles are manifesting themselves, I shall feel it a duty to further as much as possible the object of the work with the same trustfulness, hope and confidence felt by the earlier workers. When one comes in close contact with the lives of young women, the fact is brought home to us, that even more than formally do these young people need guidance and care to bring them to the realization of what is highest and best in womanhood—a better health, broader mentality, a higher morality. Taking a practical view, the Association offers, first a Christian home, then the influences of Bible study, religious service and educational training. My particular interest, other than the secondary work, is the Art Club, operated for four years by Miss Frances Murphy, and myself. This, organized to offer one evening in each week a pleasant employment to the girls in our home, expanded in numbers and purpose until fifty-five members were engaged in courses in embroidery, sewing, burnt wood and leather work and have made. These courses have been followed with enthusiasm by girls of all walks of life. Associated with us as instructors were Mrs. R. M. Hall and Mrs Kate Brown, experts in their lines. I am a firm believer in the refining influence of an interest of this kind, hearing had opportunity for observation in such classes in which I have worked in both church and school life. In teaching for six years, the ungraded class of our school, where boys of the most turbulent kind are sent from all parts of the city, I find that all respond with interest to manual training. Joy in the labor of his own hand is followed by an interest in that which is useful and uplifting and the entire viewpoint of life is changed for the delinquent or defective individual. THE Y. W. C. A. PRESIDENTS In looking backward upon the twenty years' history of this Colored Young Women's Christian Association we come to a full realization of the narrow pathway trod, the innumerable difficulties surmounted, the splendid achievements accomplished and wonder what was it that has made it possible for the work to stand today with so much of real good to its credit, so many souls saved and so many lives comforted? It was the lights along the way. The lights that shone bright and beautiful, the lights that shone clear and fair, that made the pathway seem less narrow. The lights that shone so brightly upon difficulties as to hide the dark shadows about them and made the bright high places stand out to the view of the early toilers. Truly these high lights beamed with such radiance that none recognized the real marrowness of the way or the seemingly insurmountable height of the difficulties, but all took joy in the labor and looked forward to the goal, so far removed and indistinct. The first light shed upon the Association was the light of inspiration which found its source in the soul of Sarah A. Charity. She came to us after having entered into the valley of the Shadow of Death. Because, as she thought, she had been spared from this darkness, she felt that she had a mission on earth—which was to start a Colored Young Women's Christian Association in Baltimore—and so without money and without friends she set about this her Master's work. Truly her inspiration was heaven-given. No earthly power could inspire to an undertaking which might bring the results that we see before us today. And with the light of inspiration she brought the light of an unwavering faith, pure and simple, that knew no doubt and was higher than reason. One look from her gorgeous eyes, filled with the fire of inspiration and determination was sufficient to convert the listener to her cause. It was the earnestness of her purpose which made women willing to follow. Her time for labor was short. She had been spared not that her body might again make whole, but that she might carry worthy worth of her earthly labor before the Great White Throne. The far reaching benefits of the work of this woman's hands in founding this Association over badness whatever of weakness, whatever of defeats those might have been in her life. Not her body but her soul was made whole. "Faith and work together grow, No separate life they or can know They are soul and body, heart and hand." The next night was shut upon us by the mule womanhood of Alothen E. Brown. A woman high-minded and pure in all her thoughts, her words and deeds. A model to be emulated by the young woman of today. Puritant, kind and dignified. Life itself would be a failure without such women as bound lights along the way. They help to form and maintain the ideals of the world. They keep above man's faith in man. Such lives as this demand that we follow on an upward path. The women should rejoice in the fact that the light of her sweet womanhood has been with us all along the way. Years upon years of wise thoughts, like senseless musle shut up within, will elaborate the outward expression until the lines of living instruments are drawn into corporealness, and the harmony of the visible form matches the unheard harmonies of the mind. And then there has been with us the strong, the powerful light of the personality of Martin E. Murphy, that mother of men, that exponent of broad Christian charity, that embodiment of inspired energy and continuity of purpose. She brought to us the light of courage and enthusiasm. None ever heard her say that a task for the improvement of our work was not heavy or too much of a demand on her time. Her light show far and wide because its beams were caught from the source of all light and love. She was the rock of Gibraltar upon which all definite accomplishments of this work—past, present and future—have been founded. The influence of her damnless courage, sympathetic attitude, devoted, unselfish, staunch friendship is a treasure in the lives of hundreds of women in Baltimore today. Her faithfulness was of a kind that pushes all description. As our own view of this woman's life grows more on the perspective, its beauty and strength stands out more clearly. The light of her presence will never burn out while the C. Y. W. C. A. is a power in the community for Martha Murphy was one of the world's great hearts and it was given to us to know the beauties of her character. The lights radiated from these true women form the wonderful heritage which has been given to Charlotte Durance, the present guiding light of the Association. Herself sending forth patience, humility and ever prairieful trust in a divine light, may she carry forward the kingdom of Christ in a manner worthy of her predecessors. May she be big and true and fearless in right. Many other lights have augmented and strengthened these that have shone forth so brightly and looking backward it is seen that we have been treading the King's highway which has been lighted by souls with whom contact was given us as a manifestation of God's love. On contemplating the inspiration and faith of Sarah Charity, the mobility of character and dignified womanhood of Althea Bowen; the energy, the enthusiasm, the broad Christian charity of Martha Murphy and the patient, uniting faithfulness of Charlotte Davage, the women of Baltimore must realize the privilege accorded them in being members of this organization. They must accept the burden of this splendid work and make it one which will touch the history of the colored women of Baltimore with a touch uplifting and inspiring. It must of necessity be a beacon light along the way. Just as it has shed the light of life upon the Fresh Air and Empty Stocking Circle which brings joy each year to thousands of little hearts, and the Federation of Christian Women which reaches out and binds in the blessed the hundreds of our women, so must this Association continue to shine upon the community, and as this community is helped, so will the whole race feel the uplifting influence of our women. May this light always shine so that men may see the good work. A sacred burden in this life we bear. Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly. Stand up and walk beneath it steadfastly. Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, but onward, upward, 'Till the goal we win. Dear Readers: The above articles by Miss Bright, I am sure, you will enjoy reading. The one on the work of the Y. W. C. A cannot be improved upon. The other on the noble heads of the organization is a gem in itself. They were sent to me to use as I saw fit and I have taken advantage of the privilege by giving it to you intact, as I thought it too good too out, and I am sure you will all agree with me. We wish Miss Bright and the Association workers a successful year with lots of good friends to help the cause along in every way.

In conjunction with this great array of artists and entertainers, the management is also presenting three first class vaudeville acts and motion pictures. The coming of this musical comedy and vaudeville acts and motion pictures is a new departure forced upon the quality people by the lack of support given the Broadway productions here. However, although this new move will bring to this city high class entertainers, the Quality Amusement Corporation will aim to secure the best in they have done in the drama and Frank Montgomery, who cancelled a score of vandevilde contracts to bring out this aggregation of singers and dancers, has signed contracts for the production of some of the best musical productions ever offered and we can say that the management is fortunate in securing the accomplished comedian. This musical show, which is slated to open at the Colonial on Monday night will for the first time since the one of the Darkknight Pollies bring to this city such well known artists as Josephine Laoz, Gerrude Struffin, Lillian Williams, Mae Brown and others whose fame is in this line of the business is well known. Other well known artists are: Jessie Lawson Brown, Hattie E. James, Florence McClain, May Bryd, Marlon Whitfield, Aline Saunders, Charles Wright, H. Blanche Harris, known far and near as one of the song birds that added materially to the success of many of the old successful companies. Mass Pamille Wine can be numbered among the other famous entertainers. Among the male artists are such well known performers as Howard and Mason, George Stamper, Dewey Winegasm, Dave Struffin, Earl West and that "King of Entertainers" Frank Montgomery, himself. Feeling that all their parents should get the opportunity to witness these shows, popular prizes will prevail and there will be the usual matinee Monday, Thursday and Saturday. As this will be the only theatre where our people can witness shows of the kind, it is to be hoped that they will take advantage of the efforts of the Quality people and patronize a house where they will not be "Jim Crowed."

York a few weeks ago, Mr. John B. Bruce ‘spoke of the origin of several well known: melodies among them “Listen to the. Mocking Bird.” “According” to Mr. Bruce; it was ‘about the middle ot ‘the last century ‘that a' Philadelphia street minstrel George Milburn, attracted attention of passers-by with his expert whistling accompanied with performance on the guitar. Among the audience one day ‘was a famous’ song writer, “who' was ‘go pleased ‘with the renditions Wf the colored minstrel. that hE invited him ‘to his rouse. As George Milburn ‘whistled the white ~ song’ writer Jot- “ted down’ the ‘notes ‘hastily, and later Saddedthe words of the song as we BR Wapisw Ah sco Tne eee sos ete “While he was & ‘musician .of: some. note, ‘the. song’ writer, Mr. Winner, could hardly have ben's good judge of the’ possibilities of ‘his composition. ‘At the ‘music publishers ‘he accepted five dollars for 4 song which brought in bounties of more than’ $100,000 and ig nearly es popular today a it was twenty years ago, # For his share in the work, sitburn received twenty coples of the song after it was published.” “Winner re- coved the five dollars ‘and: the credit of having writen the song. Thelarge profits went to, neither of thent: but to the firm of music publishers. Here is another instance of the fact that a product without a market is worthtess, but this is not the chief Tesson, that might be drawn here, ‘The words and the niuste of “Listen to the Mocking Bird," were written. by Winner, but the melody was Win- burn’s own." After a half century in which the world has thought that this melody sung by millions was the crea~ tion of an Anglo-Saxon braln, erlti- cal research brings to light that the original conception was the work of a street whistler, whose skin was black, and that the white brain acted as the instrument, as the translator, after much the same fashion that makers of vietrola records register and pre- serve the work of the artists. | No one desires’go withdraw credit to Winner, for having recognized a masterpiece when he heard it, and so siving it the permanent Worm that could be handed down from one gen- eration to another. At the same time we have been withholding already too jong respect, for the momory of the street whidtier unknown to us, whose melody has delighted our ears. “Nor this alone, but the history of pisten to the Mocking Bird” adds ‘weight to the theory. that most of Jour Southern melodies inctuding the famous. “Dixie,” “Suwanee River,” and others had thetr origin in the fer- tile brains of colored minstrels like George Milburn. }EpITORTALS AND EDITORIALS ‘The roapact for the oslored Pru throughout the country has gone. up several points since the announcement that the contributing editor of a New York weekly won the third prize of $200 for tho best editorial on “Why Charles Evans.;Hughes should: be elected;'! offered by the Philadelphia Pablif'Ledger. © at Some. few years ago Dr. W. ‘BB, DuBois, through. the, editorial columns of the Crisis handed down the dictum tat thre. waranty tw colored Week- Migs in the counttry, worthy of the namo ‘That his sudgment Is not to be regard- ed too seriously, Mr. Washington at the same time styled the colored reek- ly an immesurable force tn’ many com- munities, That ‘this aifference of opinion sould exist and persist as it does appears due to the false basis of comparison.

IWHERITING THE EARTH Perhaps one of the most interesting réasona® why ‘the Negro. should not migrate northward has-been advanced by Mr. Madison Grant in his new book. The Passing of @ great. race.” ‘Mir. Grant considers'it: : + "Quite evident that the West Indies the coast «region of our Gulf ‘States, ‘and perhapa the black belt of the low- ér Mississippi Valley must be aban- fdoned to Negroos. Haiti is already conquered by the blacks; Cuba, Ja- ‘maiea, Mexico, and the northern part of South America must, he thinks, eventually succumb to Negro or Indian Where two distinct species are located side by ‘side, elther. one race drives out the other, as the North Americans exterminated the Indfans, or else there is an amalgamation, in which the low- er: type ultimately wins the upper hand.” ‘Obviously, If all of the colored péo- ple in America are gravitating toward the South as a natural habitat it would seem like flying in the face-of nature to témpt fortune by ‘settling in Jarge numbers In the North. But this ques. tion.of migration Is by no means Mr. Grant's chief thesis, This selentist, who s chairman of the New York Zoological Society, and an, authority of note’ proves in his work that the lighter peoples of the earth are rapidly decreasing in num: bera and their places are being taker by darker ones. As he puts it, the great race of blondes ts giving way te the. brunettes. ‘The .Ughter--racea- of ‘North Europe. are yielding before. the inflax of dark blood: from South Eu- ropé, just as immigration. hae produced in. Amnerica a darker race from “the original blonde settlers, However, it does not take a,sclen- tlst to explain why the average Am- erlean is becoming darker, Very few of the lighter peoples trom North Bu- rope come to our shores: andy, “the “melting pot of all nations Is, en- gaged in the assimilation “not “only ‘of swarthy Slavs and-Itaxans, but ‘of'ten raillions of, Negzges.’ Stafiatica ‘show that the, darker peoples are more, prot Ufc than others and added to this is the generally accepted fact that they are meek and not arrogant. In the end, Mr. Grant's’ whole theme ap- pears in the garb of a beautitude, “the meek shall inherit the earth.” OUTETLY MARRIED ‘Miss Clara Singleton and Mr. Jeffrey Hin were quietly married at the home of Rev, and Mrs, A.

I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because I am. determined to lend my support to the greatest movement that is making for Efficiency along all lines. The opposite to Efficiency is Waste—The liquor traffic is the most prolific cause of waste in health, economics and morals. 2. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because the “Law: of Necessity” is the right rule for organized governments rather than that of “Personal Liberty.” The former is the means of get- ting rid of anything that is a menace to society while the latter caters to individual preferences, regardless of the results to the community as a whole. It is necessary for society to outlaw the liquor traffic, because it is its most powerfully organized enemy. 3. I shall be sure to vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because while I regret the European war, nevertheless, the fact that so many thousand immigrants have returned to their native lands has suddenly given the Negro a place in the labor market he has never had before. _ If he keeps himgelf free from the poison of alcohol he is destined to enter more fully than ever into “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ 4. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because I have failed up to the present time to read anything that appeals to one’s com- mon sense which the liquor traffic has published in de- fense of its business. The liquor business has no defense to make., It is utterly defenseless. 5. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because the defense of the liquor traffic makes for itself is a “refuge of lies.” The revenue from liquor licenses has nothing to do with keeping up the parks, harbor, improvement of streets, schools, etc. These are supported by other means wholly apart from money received by licensing the saloon. 6. _ I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore because | believe environment is a mighty factor in character making. To rear children in a community where the liquor traffic is legalized, is putting in their way a stumbling block, which is sure to wreck the lives of many. I want to make the path of life easier for the boys and. girls of tday to tread, who will be our men and, women of tomorrow. ; 7.. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor ‘traffic from Baltimore because May'1,°1918 will give am-. ple time. for those: having money invested: in: the liquor business to readjust their business affairs. 8. I shall_vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore: because, “there is.not a case upon record where state or local prohibition, enforced’ by honest officials, has increased the tax rate even slightly, Debi in inumerable cases it has resulted in a decreased levy.” a ae ‘ 2 - VOTE FOR PROHIBITION : P6805606S6060600000066050008020906008048 esoodocessocesescoses IN MEMORIAM DOUGLAS—in sad but loving re- membrance of my dear sister, Mary B.

So many people have passed out yet there are so many left. Since I wrote to you from Kansas City, I have been going some and if you will not mind me telling you I am still going. I had a fine time there in Kansas City with those Baptists, and when I got through, I loaded myself and went to Puttburgh, Kans. I had not been there before and was delighted to see the condition of your people and what they were doing for humanity and the whole race. I found in going to this place and seeing all of these people and looking at them until my eyes were almost sore. Rev. J. T. Lias is pastor of the Baptist Church there and I was his guest. Leaving there I went right on down the road to Texarkana, going over the Kansas City Southern. This is one of the good roads running into the South. I rode right into Texarkana, Arkansas Texas, and remained there over night, visiting Mrs. S. A. Metthes and her family, and meeting other friends. I went to the meeting of the local Business League, and found them as busy as could be. It is a strong healthy organization and they are going to be represented next summer in Chattanooga, Teen. They had one address, but when I got in they insisted that I should make another, so I just turned out and let them have it in full. Believe me I did not know that I could make so much speech but they took it in and thanked me for it. Well, I was fresh from the National Negro Business League and knew how to talk some business, and I have touched so many of our business men and know a little something about their success and failure. I told them about Secretary Emmett J. Scott, President J. C. Napier, and so many others. Now when I got thru with them I turned my attention to the other things of life, and told them all about them. It was indeed a pleasure to be able to do all this without a hitch. Then bright and early the next morning I pulled out for Houston, Texas, where the Baptist State Convention was in session or where it was to meet because I got there before they had been called to order and remained throughout the session. Rev. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, was there I speak of Rev. Williams, because he was president of the convention and has been for a long time, but he resigned to go to Chicago. I don't mean that he resigned, but he went to Chicago to take charge of the Olivet Baptist Church which was left him by the death of Rev. E. J. Fisher. D. D. He returned to Texas to turn over the gavel to his successor, and then to make some speech, and let the Texas people know that he was still with them in their good work. He turned over the gavel in good shape, and when he was through with this they were happy. The General Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas is a great big organization believe me, and it is doing a great big work in the state. Rev. A. Barbaur is connected with this, Rev. F. L. Lights, Rev. J. E. Plus and others. For a long time Prof. M. M. Rodgers, has been the secretary and he still holds the position. He certainly has his place in the hearts of these Baptists and they hear him when he speaks. He is one of the strong men of the race and of the denomination of which he is a representative. I have spoken of him before because he is Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for the Pythians of Texas and was the leading spirit in the erection of that $116,000 Pythian Temple. Dr. B. F. Riley, the white man who wrote about Booker T. Washington in a book was there and made a great big speech. He is doing a good thing to help our people and they are responding to him. He is saying some good things to us and then some good things about us to the white people of the country. 'So much for that, and so much for this. Getting through with the convention I made a break right back to Texarkana, spending Saturday night there, and going from there to Little Rock, over the Iron Mountain. It seems that that old horse got angry or something and he broke one of his legs so that made us two hours late getting into Little Rock. I stopped at the Iron Mountain stable, changed my shirt and went on to church to hear Rev. V. R. M. Caver, but he had up another man so I heard him patiently and with profit. He was a good little speaker and a first-class butcher of the English language. Going from church, I went to the home of Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, and secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Booker is doing a great big work for his church and his race. He is a good college president and then he is a good secretary. Miss Helen Booker is assisting him in the mission office and she is a good clerk. In company in the evening with Bishop J. M. Conner, I went to Bethel A. M. E. Church, where I had been invited by Dr. A. H. Hill to preach at night. Bishop Conner accompanied me, and he furnished me inspiration. I tried my hand in the preaching business, and the people approved of the effort and handed me down some money to tote me to the next place. I went over to see some friends, and Monday I took dinner with Dr. Hill, and it was some dinner too. Bishop Conner was along. So much for that, I remained in the city all day and Tuesday went to Pine Bluff. Reaching the city there was a buggy pulled by a horse waiting at the stable to receive me and tote me out to the Branch Normal College. It has been a long time since I was there, but I must say a few things about the institution. At the head of it is a new man. For a long time there was a white superintendent. I sure you will remember the story of this man and one of the girls. He thought she needed some silk stockings, purchased them and sent them to the girl and she gave them to her father and the father sent them to the man's wife, and there the trouble tarted. I am not going into details, but I do know the man lost his place and then it was decided to secure a member of our race to fill the position. Applications flew in fast and thick. But connected with the school was a well trained man, graduate from Yale, a native of the state, the son of an old educator, Prof. J. G. Ish. Jr., and the Board called this young man in, knowing of his training, and asked him a few questions, and they let him go out. He was soon notified that he had been selected to the position of superintendent of the institution and he accepted. This was just little over a year ago. They had an enrollment then of 160 and now they have an enrollment of 300 and they continue to come in. Prof. J. G. Ish, Jr., is not yet thirty, because he did not get to this world until 1888, but he is a refined gentleman and has the love and respect of all the students as well as the other 16 teachers. He is doing some good work. T. W. Coggs, who is a Hampton finish, has charge of the Mechanical department and they tell me that not since there was such a department was it in the condition that it is today. He is not alone giving them theory but he is making it practical. He knows his business from A to Z and is imparting it to the young men. The other teachers are F. T. Vinegar, principal; C. V. McLurkin, science; S. J. Altheimer, history; A. R. Reeves, mathematics; Isaac Hathaway, ceramics; D. E. Johnson, English; Irene C. Ross, English and geography; Ernestine I. Copeland, English; Cora W. Adair, head of department of home economics; Aller Lewis, sewing and millinery; Julia L. Kinner, matron and sewing; W. P. Koon, auto repairing and blacksmithing; K. Temple, agriculture; N. Murray, agriculture and gardening. I think I will have to stop writing here. If you want to reach me, send me a letter care Rev. J. H. Burks, D. D. Roanoke, Va. Hope you are well. Take care of yourself. CATONSVILLE NEWS Catonsville, Md., Oct. 26—Over five hundred dollars were realized at the queen'sally held at Grace Church.

SLATTER There are few people in this world like Dr. B. F. Riley. I have just finished reading an interesting and highly spiritual little treatise, "The Second Mile," by Harry Emerson Fosadick. It is one of the studies this year of the Young Men's Christian Association, and as I think of Dr. Riley, there is one passage of much truth and beauty that lingers with me. The passage reads thus: "Not 'till duty looms larger than rights is a man truly moral. But neither the one nor the other is the test of Christianity. Christianity begins when the sense of privilege in service becomes greater than both rights and duties. For us to be a Christian is to be more willing to serve a man than he is to demand it; to go the second mile; to forgive seventy times seven; to pray on our Calvariies for the men who put us there. The essential word of Christianity is love and that means superabundant willingness to help." Strangely coincident, comes a letter in the current mail from a man of the white race, who is a personal friend, and more than a proven friend to the Negro. This friend thinks that I sometimes manifest the tendency of Dubols, Trotter, Pickens and others and expresses the opinion that we need to come in touch with a better quality of Christianity. He thinks that there is discernible a difference in the quality of Christianity professed by white folks than that of black folks, and says that if some of our leaders could really know some white people who practice this superior brand of Christianity, that these leaders would withhold much of their bitter generalization against all white folks. He adds this significant sentence: "What they so seriously object to in the generalization concerning the colored race they themselves are guilty of towards us." This of course, is only one way of thinking. Now all white men in authority and possessing influence do not practice the superior brand of Christianity professed by this gentleman and Dr. Riley. If they did, Dr. Riley's tremendous sacrifice and his very important and beneficent work would not be necessary. There are many people who have heard Dr. Riley speak before large Negro audiences who did not grasp fully all that he had in mind and did not understand or appreciate the great work he was trying to do. I confess now, with a great deal of shame, that at the beginning I dourden him. I have never been one of those unduly suspicious people, and was more than willing to take a man on face value, but at first glance it was not compatible with Southern sentiment and the dominant and antagonistic force that prevailed everywhere, for a Southern man to take such outspoken attitude on the race question as Dr. Riley took. I doubt my ability to make my readers appreciate the tremendous sacrifice and the important work he is now doing for the whole South. I expressed my dissatisfaction over the matter once or twice privately, and particularly when in a conversation the matter came up of raising some funds to help Dr. Riley in his work and as an expression of appreciation of his efforts. I recall now, as nearly as possible, that I regarded it as commercializing friendship for the Negro. I thing that I can safely conclude that I am not entirely a fool now, that I have changed my opinion of Dr.Riley and his work. As a matter of fact I had not taken pains to find out enough about his work—thus emphasizing the danger of hastily formed conclusions. Dr. B. F. Riley is a typical Southerner, is the son of a former slave owner, a Baptist minister of much renown and a writer of undoubted ability. "The White Man's Burden," written by him some years ago gave in plain and unvarnished language the true situation in the South and pointed out the only remedy, absolute justice and fairness towards the Negro. Latterly, his book, "The Life and Times of Booker T. Washington" has just come from the press, and in it, he reviews the peculiar conditions under which this eminent man of our race had to work and the great good he accomplished. This latter is truly a remarkable treatise. Dr. Riley is one of a few men living in the heart of the South, who see really what the South needs. He is no Negro fanatic, but he does see the necessity of making conditions better for the Negro. He does not express it that way, but in the final analysis, that is what it amounts to. He calls it "espousing the cause of humanity," putting it on a broad and humanitarian basis, and thus robbing it of much of the unpleasantness and friction that it would inevitably breed, if it were discussed as a race question or a Negro question. Living in the heart of the South, a strong and influential member of the Southern Baptist Convention, a writer on historical and sociological subjects, he at once commanded attention, and his words were regarded respectfully and thoughtfully by those white men who heard him. Dr. Riley resigned the presidency of Howard College in Birmingham, where he was receiving a salary of $3,600. Whatever he has made in the past ten years has been spent in this work as truly a missionary effort as any undertaken by the most systematic foreign mission board. He has spoken in the leading cities of the South and the North to audiences of both races and often before mixed audiences, and has sought to make the leaders of the white race cee their duty to the Negro. He has likewise been frank and outspoken to the Negro, although sympathetic. Indeed, he is unusually well informed on matters that pertain to the Negro, and has noted very carefully and with great deal of pains the varied and various steps in Negro progress. Dr. Riley has intimate and first, hand knowledge of the Negro, and is one of the few white men in the South who really know the Negro. Despite the fact that it is very often stated that the white man of the South knows the Ngro better than any one else in the world, the statement argues nothing, for the little that the Southern white man, as a rule, knows about the Ngro is negligible. In his work, Dr. Riley has done much that a Negro could not have done, unless he had attained to the prominence of the lt Dr. Booker T. Washington. In the lt event, the work that Dr. Riley has done could only have been undertaken by a Negro, with a great deal of misgiving. Dr. Riley has the advantage of being white, which in the South assures one of freedom from certain kinds of insults and violence. Dr. Riley has been heard in places where a Negro could not have appeared, and has told the truth before his white audiences without fear of violence. For a Negro to have told the truth in this same manner, more harm would have been done than good, even if the Negro had been fortunate enough to have remained in the South. Except to applaud his words and to give him tremendous ovations, it is sad to relate that the colored people throughout the South have shown little appreciation for Dr. Rileys efforts. All that he has made through his writings, as I have said before, have been put into this work. He very carefully refrains from taking collections or soliciting aid, lest his work be liable to misconstruction. Only every now and then, I understand, is any appreciation of his work shown in a substantial way by the Negroes themselves. Some men became interested a few years ago, and during the meeting of the International Conference on the Race Question, held at Tuskegee Institute, sought to inaugurate a movement whereby a hundred cities would be asked for $35 to help prosecute this work. Nothing much has come of the plan. Dr. Riley stated to me when I was in Birmingham last, that most of the intelligent colored people had offered words of encouragement and from some others distrustfulness, as they cannot understand how a white man can do what he does and be sincere. The thing is only explained by that spirit of Christianity embodied in the opening paragraph. Dr. Riley is willing to serve, willing to give far more service than is demanded of him, willing to go the second mile. He is not one of those who believe in limiting the forces of elevation for my race. He believes in an education that will free us from crime, free us from low groveling thoughts; he believes in that education; and that religion that will give us instead certain ideals of honor, certain high aims and ambitions, and that will make us perfectly willing to live a life of service for our fellows. Certain it is that in following out such a life, a man would forget invidious distinctions as race and color. Believing in a square deal for all men he is willing to battle with the forces that control, until that policy becomes the accepted standard. How much more is he to be respected, doing his work where the work is needed, than the man who remains in a far off and safe corner and criticises? Dr. Riley very nively does away with any discussion of the alleged inferiority of the Negro by urging that the Negro, like the white man, should be given a chance, and that if he then fails, it will be his business alone. He has gone on his way from a sense of humanity and to God, and thus has been more effective in living that higher quality of Christianity than many other, who is content with soft platitudes of friendship for the Negro. Dr. Riley has gone right into the teeth of the fiercest opposition in the black belt of Alabama and Mississippi, and has denounced crimes against the Negro when it was perilous to do so. He has denounced lynching, from the pulpit, platform and in the press as red murder, and more than once has gone into regions where he was warned not to go, because of the danger of saying the things that he thought necessary to be said. Under all circumstances, knowing his work as well as they do, it is astonishing that the colored people of the South have not rallied to Dr. Riley and his work as a man. A movement to hold a national convention on lynching and yet another movement whereby requisite labor wants a job claim a goodly part of Dr. Riley's attention just now. There is no man in the South who is doing more for the benefit of both races, and who is a more staunch advocate of human rights. He is a Christian gentleman, very much so, and keeps well informed on all phases of Negro life. Indeed as I have sat in his library and talked with him, I have often wondered why so many ministers and leaders of our, race would not take the trouble to inform themselves as to everything in connection with Negro race life in America as has Dr. Riley. This article on Dr. Riley is too meagre and incomplete. It would be more so without reference to his latest book, "The Life and Times of Booker T. Washington," which has just issued from the Revell Press. What he has said with reference to Dr. Washington will stand scrutiny and criticism, and his truthful, impartial and sensible review of the remarkable leader's life and work, as well as a conscientious review of the times in which he lived, in order to give the proper color to his labors, shows how closely every movement of Dr. Washington's has been watched by the white people of the Soult. One can immediately appreciate the fact, that as popular and famous renowned as Dr. Washington was that there was never a time in his career that a single false step would not have endangered not only his life, but would have undone much of the good that his arduous work had accomplished. If by any help of race loving Negroes Dr. Riley's new book can have the circulation it deserves, it will place Dr. Washington's worth in review before the general public in such a manner as nothing else that has yet ap- THE AFRO-AMERICAN peared save his own auto-biography. If read by many leading white men of the South, it will produce more friends for the Negro. It is written with due regard to the true facts in all the varied and perplexing problems which Dr. Washington and the race had to face. No fairer estimate of Dr. Washington's career could have been written.
