--- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY VOL. XXV. No.12 KIDNAPPER FOUND IN PHILADELPHIA Little Lilian Smith Abducted in April By Strange Woman Returned to Her Fond Parents. SAW IT IN THE "AFRO" Friend of Child's Parents Sees Article in Afro-American and Gets on Trail of Abductor. Kidnapped by a strange woman eight months ago, carried to Philadelphia and cooped up in a room by her captor and to be returned a few weeks ago, has been the experience of little six year old Lilian Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Smith, of 1409 Pennsylvania avenue. Little Lilian is now at home with her parents who are overjoyed over the recovery of the child and are receiving congratulations from their many friends. On Monday afternoon, April 10th, Lillian was playing in front of her home when a strange lady came past and asked her if she wanted some candy. Child like, she followed the woman into a store, and that was the last seen of her by her parents until just a week ago when she was found in Philadelphia. Immediately following the disappearance of the child, the parents, who were heart-broken, notified the police authorities and a detective was assigned to the case. So successfully had the kidnapper covered her trucks that the detective could get no clue as to her whereabouts. He finally gave up the case, telling Mr. Smith he thought the child had been murdered. Mr. Smith, however, did not give up hope and still persisted in the belief that his daughter was alive. Finally he appealed to the Afro-American to aid in the search. An article appeared in the Afro-American on August 6th, telling of the loss of little Lilian and a week later a picture of the child was printed. A friend of Mrs. Smith, who had read the article in the Afro-American, in writing to a former Baltimoreian in Philadelphia, a Mrs. Studio Jennings, of 1246 Bouvier street, mentioned the loss of the child. Mrs. Jennings, who had noticed a little child cooped up in a back room near her home during the entire summer, had her suspicions aroused and wrote to her friend in Baltimore asking for a description of the Smith girl. A picture clipped from the Afro-American was immediately sent her and she identified the little child. She got a chance to talk to her one afternoon when she was sent to the store one afternoon and became convinced that she was the girl wanted in Baltimore. Mrs. Jennings immediately wrote Mr. Smith that his daughter had been found. In the meantime, the child's captor had seen Mrs. Jennings talk to Lilian and becoming frightened, immediately packed her things and immediately her returning to the neighborhood to pay a bill at a Jew grocery store was her undoing for the keeper of the store found out her new address. When Mr. Smith arrived in Philadelphia, upon a payment of reward to the storekeeper he was informed that the woman had taken the child to a house on South 16th street. He immediately went to the police station on the district and told his story. Two phalcolothes men were assigned to the case, one of them being Detective Benjamin Smith, a colored man. Accompanied by the detectives, Mr. Smith went to the house on 16th street. As the door was opened and little Lillian brought forward, the first "ring" she said was "Oh, there's my papa," and rushed into his arms. The woman was not there, however, having engaged room for the child at the house for a few days, saying she would return for her as soon as she could arrange for a new residence. On Friday, when she returned for the child she was arrested by Detective Smith and charged with abduction. The woman's name is Corrine Crumble alias Pauline Woods. When first questioned by the police she stoutly denied that the child had been stolen, claiming that she was the mother of the girl. Later when confronted by the rightful parents of the child, she admitted having picked her up on Pennsylvania avenue in Baltimore. She was turned over to the Baltimore authorities and is now in jail awaiting trial. She has already been indicted by the grand jury. PARENTS ARE OVERJOYED "Of course we are overjoyed in the return of our child," said Mr. Smith in speaking to a representative of the Afro-American. "What possessed the woman to take our little girl is a puzze to me. Neither my wife nor my sister remember ever having seen the woman before. But now that the child is found and we are all happy again, there is not much to be said. So, however, want to extend our sincere thanks to the Afro-American for the help it will willingly gave as well as those who were instrumental in the return of the Lillian." Mr. Smith also said that beyond having fallen off a little Lillian seemed to have been fairly well treated. LUTHER E. LILIAN SMISH PLANS COMPLETE FOR BIG MEMORIAL MEETING Plans have been, perfected for the big memorial muss meeting to be held at the Academy of Music, North Howard street Sunday afternoon in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. If the plans of the committee in charge of the memorial carry, the Howard street playhouse will be crowded to the doors by men and women of both races, to listen to addresses extolling the life of the late president of Tuskegee Institute. Prominent among those to make addresses are Major Robert Russia Moton, who succeeded Dr. Washington as principal of Tuskegee; Emmett J. Scott, for years private secretary to Dr. Washington and now secretary of Tuskegee; Dr. William Welch, dean of the medical school of Johns Hopkins University; Dr. R. H. Hogue, of the Open and Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Colored High School. E Bishop John Hurst, the chairman of the committee, will preside. Music will be furnished by a selected male chorus, who will render a number of folk songs. Following the addresses an effort will be made to raise the sum of $2,500 that the colored people have pledged toward the $2,000,000 memorial fund which will be erected at Tuskegee Institute in honor of its founder and late principal. BREAKING INTO THE "MOVIES." For the first time in its history colored Baltimore will have a chance to see itself in the "Movies." For several weeks a Company of moving picture artists have been taking the activities of the colored people of this city, and these will be shown in a series of pictures at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Saturday, November 18th, and Monday, the 20th. Nothing like this has ever been seen in this city and every man, woman and child should see it. Among the activities shown will be the making of a newspaper, showing the composing room, with the people working in it; the press room running off and folding the paper, boys and girls coming in buying papers, and the mailing department. Persons who have never seen the interior of the Afro-American office will be surprised at the activities going on there. Provident Hospital, Morgan College and its students at work and at play. Dr. Washington's arrival in Baltimore and a reception committee meeting him and escorting him to Bethel Church; the doctors and business men and various other enterprises just as you would see them every day. It will be well worth the price of admission. Be sure you see these wonderful pictures of your own city and people. BRAITHWAITE'S ANTHOLOGY BRADY, W. Mass, November 9—Wm. Boston Braithwaite, the literary critic has about completed his "Anthology of Poetry for 1916." This work is regarded as an authority by lovers and critics of poetry. Mr. Braithwaite published in the Transcript two weeks ago a review of poetry during the year SEGREGATION. IN COURT HOUSE Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 8—Jim Crow" seats now obtain in the city court room, according to signs placed there a few days ago. RAISE $1400 AT QUEEN RALLY RAISE $1400 AT QUEEN RALLY St. Peter Claver Hall was crowded to the doors on Thursday evening, when a queen rally was held for the benefit of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. The affair was given under the direction of Miss Carrie L. Cook, who was largely responsible for its success. Rev. Justin McCarthy, superior of Colored Missions, delivered the principal address. Mrs. Thomas Price was crowned queen of the rally, while Mrs. Peter Bell received the prize for raising the second highest amount. Nearly $1,400 was realized as a result of the effort. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1916 Disaffection In the Democratic Ranks Helps Republicans To Senatorial Victory in Maryland. Republican leaders in Maryland, although disappointed at the result from a National standpoint, express the belief that the State will more and more veer toward the Republican -party. They base their belief on the fact that hundred Democrats are tired of the present State leadership of the party and may vote for the Republicans in order to make their approval felt. The victory of Dr. Joseph I. France is distinctly gratifying to the Republican leaders. His handsome majority came largely, however, through the open support given him by the city democrats. It was thought by some that he was not given the enthusiastic support that the Republicans should have given him. State Chairman Calen L. Tait and others high in the councils of the party worked hard for his success. This is the first national campaign that Mr. Tait has run and he is rapidly developing as a leader. The success of Frederick N. Zihman in Western Maryland was a big triumph for the former State Senator. His legislative experience will come in handy in the lower House of Congress. It was expected that young Sydney Mudd would win in Southern Maryland, but his large majority came as a pleasant surprise. One of the regrettable incidents is the defeat of Charles W. Main in the Third District. Mr Main is one of the hardest working Republicans in the State, and was due a much larger vote. "Marse" Fred Talbott is a hard man to beat in the Second district and he received aid from white and colored Republicans. Robert F. Duer appears to have a fighting chance in the First district. Two years ago he was defeated by Congressman Price by a plurality of less than 200. This time he decreased the plurality, and may contest the election should Price be declared a winner. WETS SCORE HEAVILY The big majority which the liquor forces got in this city staggered their opponents. The loss by the "wets" of Washington and Frederick counties, as well as Havre de Grace, was not relished. It is thought that the liquor question will not again be an overshadowing issue for some time. Rev. C. G. Cummings, who was in charge of the dry campaign among the colored people of the city, worked hard and valiantly, but the odds against him were too strong. Especially in the seventeenth ward, in which he lives, were efforts made to get out a large vote, but the weight of the entire Republican machine was brought to bear against the movement. City Councilman Cummings, brother of Rev Cummings, is regarded as the leader of this ward. The local politicians have already begun to talk of the next Mayoralty election. It is generally believed that Mayor Preston will not run again, and that the Republicans will have about an even chance. States Attorney W. F. Breening is frequently mentioned in concession with the Republican nomination. He has made a good record in his office and is regarded as one of the strongest Republicans in the city. He would receive many Democratic votes and even some of the appointees of the Preston administration are privately expressing their preference for him. The present election makes it seem likely that the Democrats may trot out some new leaders if they would do away with the hostility between the State and city machines. In some quarters it is asserted that some of those who have posed as Republican leaders for years must step aside. ST. ANDREWS ELECTS OFFICERS ST. ANDREWS ELECTS OF PROFESSOR At the meeting of St. Andrew's Grand Commandery, held at the Masonic Hall on Wednesday of last week the following officers were elected: Thomas H. Smith, right eminent grand commander; Stephen Sheppard grand generalissimo; Thomas W. Turner, right eminent grand captain general; William E. Fletcher, Annapolis, senior grand warden; John H.

METROPOLITAN GETS $700 Nearly as many people were on the outside as on the inside of Metropolitan M. E. Church, when a queen rally was held for the benefit of the Post Office Rally. Mrs. Ida Hilton was crowned queen having raised over $150. Mrs. Ophelia Green raised the second highest amount. Miss Ida R. Cummings was directress. The grand march was played by Prof. L. E. Moore. WILSON WINS BY SCANT MAJORITY Failure to Capture the Progressive Vote in the West Cause of G. O. P. Downfall. WOMEN WANTED PEACE Indication that Vote in Several of the Close States will be Contested by the Republicans. New York, November 10.—That President Wilson is re-elected seems assured by the returns. It was a disconsolate group at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee Thursday night, when it became apparent that Hughes had been defeated by a narrow margin. The Democrats were correspondingly happy. While Hughes had carried all but one of the so-called large pivotal states, Wilson walked away with a number of the smaller Western commonwealths. The Republican National Committee, it appears, had centered its activities in such states as New York, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Ohio was lost, and its 24 electoral votes has sealed the fate of Hughes, apparently. There were some differences in states that contributed to the result also. In California, Hughes is said to have made the Progressives mad by consorting with Republican standpatters while there. LaPollette's friends did not shout for Hughes in Wisconsin, but the former was returned to the United States Senate. Aside from the fact that Wilson got a goodly share of the labor vote and some German support, the farmers in a number of Western states supported him. Wheat selling at $1.75 a bushel is thought to have made the farmers believe that their prosperity would continue. Then the Republicans did not work over hard in states with a small electoral vote. While some people assert that Theodore Roosevelt drove votes away from Hughes on account of his strong criticism of Wilson's war policies, it seems that the Colonel is the strongest Republican in the country, and some declare that, he would have defeated Wilson. Colored Leaders Downcast Colored Leaders Downcast No state with a large colored vote, save Maryland and Ohio, went for Wilson. The colored voters were practically unanimous in their disapproval of the attitude of the administration against the race, and reflected it in their voting for Hughes. The Colored Men's Advisory Committee aided materially in this, and the leading men in it are over the result, and told the county of segregation and other anti-Negro policies of Wilson's administration, and of the desire of the South to have the rest of the country accept its hostile views concerning the race. They had inveighed against the Southern kick of Negro migration to the North and of the attempts to prevent colored men from voting in their new homes. The Southern policy of disfranchisement and segregation had been attacked and the assertion made that it would be extended shouted the Wilson administration remain in power. Not for many years had this city seen so many colored leaders assembled with the single determination—to elect a Republican president. Every colored Republican of note was on the job; every one who had held office under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations with the "black cabinet" of the Roosevelt administration leading the van. There was "Link" Johnson, James A. Cobb, William H. Lewis, Ralph Langston, W. C. Matthews, Perry Howard, Charles W. Anderson our own Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon and a number of other lesser lights, all with prominent places on the Hughes bandwagon. Even William Monroe Trotter, who supported Wilson four years ago, was on the scene and working for Hughes, while Editors Chris J. Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune and Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, were looking after the publicity end, being ably assisted in this by the old "war horse" Timothy T. Fortune While the Republicans laid stress during the campaign upon the fact that the re-election of President Wilson would mean an endorsement of the Democratic policy of segregation and discrimination against the race, it is not generally believed that his re-election was an endorsement of that policy so much as it was the endorsement of the "Peace at any price" policy which President Wilson strove to maintain. The Western farmers are experiencing a period of unprecedented prosperity, and they were led to believe that should Hughes be elected, war would be sure to follow. They based their argument upon the unmerciful criticism of the Wilson's diplomatic policy with Germany and Mexico, by the Republican spellbinders. It also appears that the boasted reunion of the Republican and Progressives in the Western states did not materialize. It seems from the returns in California, a Progressive stronghold, and Minnesota, as well as other Western states that the Progressives were not in the mood to accept Crane, Penrose and the rest of the "Old Guard" who were responsible for their drawing out of the party four years ago. Even the strong personality of Col. Roosevelt was unable to bring them into the fold. While the 'Old Guards' were not conspicuous in the campaign, the Progressives knew that they were the "power behind the throne" and should Hughes be elected, they would have to fall in with the bandwagon and give up the principles for which they had contended. In 1912 the electoral votes of California, Washington and Minnesota were for Roosevelt. This year they are for Wilson, which seems to indicate that most of the Progressive vote went to Wilson. IMPRESSIVE DEDICATION OF NEW DUNBAR SCHOOL With prominent men and women present, the new Paul Laurence Dunbar School, at Caroline and Jefferson streets, was formally dedicated Friday afternoon. Acting Mayor John Hubert took the place of Mavor Proston, who is in New Orleans. Others who delivered addresses included: Prof. Charles J. Koch, superintendent of school; Mr. James W. Chapman, president of the School Board, Warner T. McGuinn, who congratulated Eustafaintore for having such a fine building, and Mr. William Anderson, principal of the school. The invocation was by Rev. P. C. Neal and Rev. A. L. Gaines offered the benediction. A public inspection took place at night. The school is a handsome 24-room structure and contains the latest improvements. It houses the old Jefferson street school and the annexes on Bond street. The improvements represent an outlay of $164,000. Among those proudest for the new building is the Equitable Improvement Association which worked indefinitely to secure a new school building for East Baltimore. A handsome tablet bearing the name of Paul Laurence Dunbar will be unveiled the latter part of this month. DALLAS SUBSCRIBES OVER $500 Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 6—So well was the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund campaign organized in Dallas, Texas, that although $600 was pledged, more than that amount was raised. Churches, societies and individuals worked with unflagging zeal for the success of the campaign. Announcement has already been made of the $2,000 which was raised by the colored people of New York City—One thousand dollars through the Memorial Fund and one thousand from the Southern Beneficial League, an organization composed of colored people who formerly lived in the South and are now residents of New York. Enthusiastic meetings have been planned for New York, Philadelphia and Washington, which will be attended by Dr. R. R. Motten, principal of Tuskegee Institute and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Institution, while they are in the North on business.

Bertha Hurst was chairman. PRICE THREE CENTS MOVEMENT FOR RACE BETTERMENT "Better Homes, Better Farms, Better Schools and Health" Motto of Organization Society DR. R. R. MOTON SPEAKS Major Allen Washington Succeeds Dr. Moton as President of the Organization. Roanoke, Va., November 10.—"Better Homes, better Farms, Better Schools, Better Health," is the motto of the Negro Organization Society which closed its 4th annual session here tonight with an address by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, founder and retiring president of the organization. The session has been helpful to the race in many respects, and the people have been addressed by some of the most noted men and women of both races. It opened Wednesday night in the First Baptist Church, Rev. E. E. Rieks pastor, with appropriate religious exercises conducted by the Rev. J. H. Burks, pastor of the High Street Baptist Church. A. J. Oliver acted as master of ceremonies. Hon. C. M. Broun, mayor of Roanoke, delivered an address of welcome, throwing open to the organization the city. He had faith, he said, in the future of the Negro, and if others left the race he would remain and render his part in their uplift. He paid a tribute to the late Booker T. Washington, and spoke in terms of praise of Dr. Moton, the successor to the great educator. John Wood, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, in his welcome address to the society said, if it were in his power to provide the course of study for the Negro schools of this country, he would lay down the very same for them that he would for the white people. The race deserved the higher things as well as the whites, and both alike should not be ashamed of work. "A man can be a gentleman in any kind of position," he declared. To the homes of the people, to the churches and Negro business places as well as schools, the visitors were welcomed by Prof. W. A. Gillam. His address was both practical and scholarly. Closing the addresses of welcome, Dr. Moton, the president, was presented by the master of ceremonies and was given an ovation. The principal address was delivered by Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of the International Y. M. C. A. secretary for Southern white colleges. "Basis of Understanding Between the Races," was the subject discussed in a helpful manner. Among other things he said, "The social problem of our day is how to make the bottom man loom large enough and seem important enough that the man shall cease to think of him as a thing and respect him as a man. This is far more fundamental that at first appears. It goes down deeper than most of the one-sided discussions which we hear on every hand." Thursday morning was devoted to the discussion of "Better Homes and Better Farms." Among the speakers were Archdeacon T. C. Russell, of Lawrenceville, Miss Eugenia B. Taylor, Miss Lizie A. Jenkins; C. H. Williams, T. C. Walker, Rev. L. L. Downing, J. B. Pierce. Thursday evening was spent in the discussion of "Better Health." The speakers were Dr. S. A. Chavis, of Waynesboro; R. B. Goode, of Abington; Albert Jefferson, of Goochland county; Mrs. S. V. Thompson, of Amelia county; Miss Agnée D. Randolph; Dr. James Faulkner, Dr. Roece C. Brown. The closing session was held tonight at the Academy of Music, which was crowded with men and women of both races, who were anxious to pay their respects to Dr. Robert R. Moton and to hear his farewell message, as this closed his administration as president of the organization, because of his being out of the state. His address was punctuated with outbursts of applause. Prof. J. M. Gandy, executive secretary, presided, and introduced Major Allen Washington, the newly elected president. The following are the newy elected officers of the society: Major Allen Washington, president; J. M. Gandy, executive secretary; G. W. Blount, corresponding secretary; T. C. Erwin and T. C. Walker, field agents. The following are the vice presidents: Mrs. Ora D. Stokes, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, R. E. Clay, L. L. Downing, W. E. Robinson, Mrs. Ida N. Paey, R. C. Yancey, A. T. Shirley, G. E. Reid, Edgar A. Long, J. M. Jeffries. Charles Stewart, the newspaper correspondent, of Chicago, delivered an address Thursday afternoon. Dr. Moton was elected honorary president of the society.

Too busy doing what? If you speak to a child ‘once and it does not listen, that is no geason you should not speak to it twice, or if necessary use the rod. You know if one thing does not help another will. Now-a-days, they have so many new fashioned ways of doing things. If our children don't mind and they insist on doing the very thing we do not want them to do, then we must not use the rod; we must use other means, furnish the child things that will divert Its mind into right chan- nels of thinking and doing. things, and if we dont do this, and use the rod too often to suit our watchful neighbors, they call in the law to their aid. As a result you are either called to account by the law or the child is taken away from you. Now, mothers spend their time in going to card parties, theatre parties, dances, and the old maid aunt or grandmother is left to care for the baby. As one little boy remarked when asked why he was always in the stretet: “Well, mother belongs to 80 many clubs and has so much com- pany when she IS home that I never have any one to help me with my les- sons or anything, so I just play. She ‘don't care so I don’t bother her." “Well, where's your papa,” I asked. * “Who? Dad,” he asked. “Oh he fs hardly ever home and when I ask him to show me something he says ‘run away like a good boy and don't worry me; Dad's busy." . ‘Just lately a fine looking young man came up here from a Southern State to work in a hotel. The life was new to-him and he was soon going the pace—he was ony a porter, but he got good wages, made lots of tips and al- ways had lots of money.

The Education of The Negro Few of the men or women of today can recall the career or the great benefactions of Daniel Hand, a Guilford man, who was born in that town 115 years ago, July 16, 1801, yet his work was of such a character that the south if not the north, will remember and cherish his name for years to come. While his life was inconspicuous as far as great achievements are concerned, and he died a quarter of a century ago, his action in giving a quarter of a million dollars for the education of the Negroes of the South places his name on the roll of American philanthropists. There are many living today who have been as well satisfied if this philanthropist had used his money for the purpose of helping the people of the North instead of those of the South, but there is no question but that what he did will be of great benefit to the people for whom his rite was intended. Middle-aged men will remember this white haired, stately old gentleman as he passed his last days in the town in which he was bron. He was eccentric and very deaf and did not mingle with other men to any appreciable extent. But his life was a success, viewed from a financial and humane standpoint, and his aim was to distribute his wealth in a manner that would do the greatest good to the greatest number. Born in Guilford, he went to Savannah, Ga., at the age of 18 years and in that city he engaged in business with an uncle, Daniel Meigs whom he eventually succeeded. He afterwards went to Augusta, further up the Savannah river, where he spent 30 years and amassed what was then a large fortune. While doing business in the South and taking active part in the religious life of the city where he lived, he retained his sentiments regarding slavery and when the Civil War began he considered the north an altogether safer place for him than the south. He transferred a large amount of property to his partner, a man named Williams. Hand came to the Northern states where he remained some time and then ventured South again. While in New Orleans he was a rested on the charge of being one of Lincoln's spies, and after much difficulty escaped to Augusta where he sought safety in the jail of that city. Later he went to Asheville, N. C., where he lived until the end of the great struggle, and he then returned to his business affairs and made a settlement with his partner. Much of Hand's wealth had been invested in northern securities, but these being transferred to his partner, who was a southerner, they escaped confiscation and remained intact. Twenty years after the war was over, in 1885 Williams transferred the property he had held for Hand back to its actual owner, so that the Connecticut man at last became possessed of his wealth which had remained for so many years in the name of another man. The crowning action of Hand's life came when, as a feeble old man, in 1885, he presented to the trustees of the American Missionary Society, then in session at Providence, interest bearing securities worth at that time over one million dollars to be held in trust and to be known as "The Daniel Hand Educational Fund for Colored People." The intent was that the money be used for educating colored people in the former slave states of the Nion, that not more than $100 be spent on any one person in a year, and that the general condition of the Negro be benefited by his wealth. The income from this fund is about $50,000 a year and it can be seen that the possibilities dreamed of by the donor are far-reaching and important. The career of Daniel Hand will be appreciated for years to come, and his idea that the money he made in the South should be spent for the uplifting of the ignorant people of that section was both worthy of a true philanthropist and a fitting tribute to the staunch New England character who conceived the idea.—Hartford Courant.

They did all they could, but the child was at death's door. The white doctor told me. (Mrs. Brooks) that he had done all he could, and there was no hope for Gladis' recovery. We were worried almost to death. My husband was advised and called in Dr. Campbell, 1369 N. Carey street. He came and in a short time Gladdis was better after taking the Lung Base Treatment and has been improving since. We are delighted. Come and see with your eyes and hear with your ears the TRUTH.

From Tuskegee comes the word that Dr. R. R. Moton, speaking in Montgomery, Ala., to a mixed audience advised all colored peopie t oremain im the South in order to avoid the ravages, of diseases that are awaiting them in the North to carry them away on a much longer exodus to the “happy hunting grounds.” Dr. 3fo- ton is quoted as saying: “In New York, I understand from 2 letter just received from a physician the Negroes are finding it difficult even now to find places to stay; they are huddle together in quarters like pigs, and many of them cannot find ‘any place, and there is bound to be suffering this winter. “They will take colds end develop pneumonia and consumption as well as other diseases, they either will die there or be brought home in a dying eondition.” From another part of the South. Columbia, South Carolina, “The State.” one of the more thoughtful of the Bourbon press, comments unfavorably on the lynching of a colored man. be- cause the offense was not more serious than the assault upon a white man, and admonishes the South that Iynch- ing nowadays is 2 boomerang, and in lynching the Negro, South Carolina will likely find that it is lynching its ‘own pocketbook. The State says edi+ torianly: “The State would prefer to deal with this matter as one of morals, Dut, that being apparently futile, it may be well to get down on the lower level of the pocketbook. Shall the Negroes be driven out of South Caro- Jina? Shall an Abbeville mob tell them that their case is hopeless, ab- ‘solutely hopeless, and thet their sole safety is in flight? To say that they have but to behave themselves is a trifle. White men quarrel and fight, ‘committing asaults. The Negroes will never deport themselves better than do the white people. Shall the farms be depopulated? Shall they be deso- Jated? Shall the mob go into partner- ship with the boll wevil to drive away the Jabor from the farms and bank- rupt this Southern country? “For two or three years lynching has been on the wane in South Caro- lina, Whether or not the Abbeville affair shall give it a new start is for the white people to determine. “The time has come when the Inching of a Negro may be expensive. ‘The time has come when it may be easier to be rid of Negroes than by lynching. them. Mobs in these days may lynch their pocketbooks. “We leave the question with the Jana owning farmers of South Caro- lina. Hard facts are unlynchable.” ‘Seriously Dr Moton does not believe that living conditions in the North tor new)y arrived workmen will cause any startling increase in thhe death rate. More than this, conditions in New York City couid hardly be re- . garded as typical for all laborers, not only because New York is our most densely populated city, but because the number of workmen that has gone to ‘New York and further North is not to be compared to the number that has gone into the middie and Western states. Dr. Moton is serious in his be- ‘Nef that the salvation of the Negro lies in the South on the farm, not in the North in a factory, and he is “do- ing his bit” to influence them in a way s that is certain to appeal to the major portion of his hearers. < Likewise the Columbia “Satate" is ceompelled to speak ina language that the common people of South Caro- t lina can understand and heed. The © most ignorant mountaineer who will -‘not abstain from mob violence because +.it is wrong, may abstain when he finds ‘he is losing money by it. 7 iz.Judging therefore by these reports “from widely separated portions of the “Beat. of the exodus, leaders of both ‘oyphites and blacks are endeavoring to snake the Negro satisfied where he is. This is the first-result of the migratory movement:and may also be regarded as an evidence of the serious aspect of the ‘whole situation from the South- @fner's view point If there is any one who thinks be- cause of the tremenduous landslide in this eity on the part of the ‘“Wets” on Tuesday that the "Drys” are dis- couraged and going to give up the fight, they have another think coming to them. To use the language of one of the strongest fighters in the ranks of the Probibitionists, “The fight has fust begun.” ‘This is a moral question, and questions of this kind are never given up because of one or two or even three or more defeats. ‘The fight against the evil of drink is just on, and will be continued until it is banished from the whole country. Russia, one of the bigest countries in the world, with probably the largest population of any civilized government has banished the drink evil and so will every other country. The’ fight is on, and the liquor forces need not think for a moment that it will be given up until victory has been gained for God and humanity. No matter how the colored people voted in this election of the wets and the drys, the drys can say that the col- ored press was almost unanimous for the side of right. Not a single colored paper of standing in this city carried an advertisement for the Kquor ele- ment. Offers of such advertisements were made but rejected. The editor- ial columns were given to the cause and we have no hesitation in saying that they wil] be given again when- ever the fight shall be renewed. LATE LITERARY NEWS ‘The November number of the South- ern Workman, published by the Hamp ton Institute Press, illustrates the wide scope of that magazine. It contains a character sketch of the head of the agricultural depart- ment at Tuskegee; an illustrated ac- count of a trip among Oklahoma In- dians who have been educated in the East; a very interesting description of Turkish customs and festivals, also 11- Justrated; a scientific paper on cer- tain health conditions among Negroes by a Southern student of sociology: re- quirements for efficiency in a country school by a Southern educator: and a statement of the new Maryland edu- cational law. A review of the report of the Gen- eral Education Board on “Public Ed- veation in Maryland,” adds value to the article outlining the new law. Another valuable review discusses Dr. Eastman’s book—“From the Deep woods of civilization.” There is an exhaustive editorial report of the re- cent 3Ghonk Conference and another showing the significance of the Negro rural exhibit at the State Fair held in Richmond in October. Other editor- jals treat of the important conference in August of the Southern University Race Commission, of the meeting of the Society of American Indians, and of the coming annual rally in Roe- noke, Va., of the Negro Organization Society.

In “The Down Town Minstrels” si The Colonial Theatre Next Week From present indications the Colon- jal bids fair to, duplicate the work along musical comedy lines being ac- complished by the sister house, the Lafayette Theatre in New York. ‘This well known metropolitan amusement resort had one of the most enormous crowds that ever. turned out to a mid: night show on election night, the co ored people of Harlem being bent on celebrating the splendid victory of Charles E. Hughes. Doors were broken in the rush, and all to see George M. Cohan's “Forty Five Minutes From Broadway which is underlined for Baltimore in the near future. Mr. Frank Montgomery, the clever .com- edian now staging the musical shows at the Colonial, will appear next week in another extravaganza, assisted by his twenty six people, in another rip- roaring comedy entitled “The Down Town Minstrels.” Like his previous efforts, Mr. Montgomery is giving the patrons of the Colonial something that will drive away the blues and crowded houses will be in order every, perform- ance if the advance information on {this minstrel and musical melange is half as good as is said by those who had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Mont- gomery some time ago in the same offering at one of the largest white houses in New York. The Baltimore Afro-American will continue to carry the only advance information of the shows to be presented at the Colonial. it is said that Romeo L. Doughterty, the dramatic editor of the New York |News, will come here next week to re- view in detail the work being done at this house by the Quality Amusement Corporation. He is also expected to do the same in Washington, where he will arrive on or about Thursday, Novem- ber 15th and spend much of his time Jat the Howard Theatre. Upon his re- turn co New York he will comment at length on what has been done during ‘the time the Quality Corporation has been sending the shows to these two citien, STOLEN MONEY RETURNED | On Thursday evening, October 26 ‘the safe of Mr. James H. Dennis wa: opened and looted of $1,985.00, and after several days £1.750.00 was re: turned in a most. unusual manner ‘Mr. Dennis who is in the undertaking business at 1313 Presstman street and resides at the same address, was called away on the evening of the rob. bery and left his sister-in-law, Mrs Harriett Turner. in charge of his wife who was ill in bed. Mrs. Dennis thinking she heard a noise in the of- fice sent Mrs. Turner to investigate but finding the office in total darkness Immediately rewrned to the room o} the sick woman, ané it is thought that at this time the thieves made their get-a-way' with the boot. As soon ak the loss was discovered. Mr. Dennis reported the same to the police department. Several days after the robbery. some one rang Mr. Dennis’ doorbell and when the door was opened a package was found in the vestibule. which later turned ovt to be a handkerchie! containing $1750.00. Mr. Dennis wa: very glad to get back this much of the stolen money and although the detec- tives wanted him to prosecute the of. fenders he gave orders to drop the case. The combination of the safe was not destroyed and the neatnes: with which the job was executed. showed that the burglars had some previous knowledge of the safe ant the undertakers movements.

GRAVE PROBLEMS, ~ GONFRONT SOUTE , Plaquemine, Lai—The great exodus of colored people from the south te the north and West is eroking serious comment in all sections.

COLONEL MIDNIGHT DOES SOME RIDING "teits Tuskegee, Bir, pningham, Hampton- ~ Norfolk, Richmond, and Knoxville - IROROU Re Se se lar eae ca riding before I got there, and I have een doing some more riding, and it 4s hard to tell just where I will be When you are reading this letter, but hope to be some where in the living. The election will be over and { will ‘be shouting or crying one. ‘3¢ you will remember when I wrote to you last I had made a trip from ‘Mt. Meigs to Tuskegee Institute and there had a long taik with some of the big people there. I talked with Princiap! R. R. Moton, Secretary Em- ‘mett J. Scott, and many others, in-. cluding Banker Gover and his wife. I have not mentioned Banker Go- ver, but he is one of the leading spir- fits at the institution. He knows the banking business from A to Z and then if there is anything above or be- Jow these letters it can also be found in his head. His wife is the proof reader. I don't know what that is, ‘Dut she occupies a big chair in the printing office down there, and while some one reads to her she just sits down there and draws maps with a pencil, 1 should call her the map drawer of Tuskegee and she is one , Of the best of her kind. I made a trip to Birmingham as I told you, and there had a talk with Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle. She was as busy as a woman can be, and the school {s certainly in good shape. i have never seen things so busy around there. 1 did not get to meet the new principal, but he is making things go. I find that some people had died in the city who had never died before: Baditor Oscar W. Adams was as busy as a man could be getting out his paper. The man was just putting his Drains on paper. I wish I could write that way. . Getting away from there I went right on to see Dr. U. G. Mason, Miss Sullivan, his clerk, Miss Inez Upshaw, and the Lord only knows who else I met while there, It was a source of pleasure to meet all of these good Beople. I soon put the dust off my feet and left over the S. A. L. for At- Janta. Reaching there I sent my things out to Moorehouse College. A pbuilding is way up yonder and Tam of the opinion that they had just as well get ready to put up another. ‘The ‘American Baptist Home Mission So- ciety was wise in selecting Prof. John Hope for president. He is just the man for the place Thad the pleasure of spending some .time in the office of Rev. Ernest Hall pastor of the Liberty Baptist Church. ‘He has an office in the Odd Fellows Building, and is kept busy all the time fixing up people to see better. He can Jook at you and tell all about your . eyes, and just what to do for them.He is. called an Oculistus or something like that. ‘Then he isa preacher. I heard him preach a sermon on "Aar- riage a Failure?” The sermon was preached in the auditorium of the Oad Fellows Building and the place was packed, ‘This was entirely theoretical or some other big name: ‘This old batchelor has never tasted married life: Of course, he thinks and advances the ar- gument that a man did not have to get drunk in order to tell whether Grunkenness was injurious to a man, and. perhaps this is right, but I tell you getting drunk is not like getting a wife, You have two separate and distinet propositions and you may take them as you see fit. I will take the marriage end of it every time. To have. some one to care for you and you to care for someone is a great thing in.life. This marriage business 4g sanctioned by God Himself. He said many good things on the subject until I got to the place where I found myself praying to the Lord to send him a wife, I met Rev. James Bryant. pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist Chureh and a number of. others. Then I pulled cout over the L. & N. for Knoxville, where I found Rev. W. Augustus Jones at the stable awaiting my ar- riva) and had a carriage ready to tote me up to his house. Well, went un there and met his family. , He is one of. our best preachers. .I visited the new high school and they have a fine building. I met all of the teachers and shook hands with them. ‘Then 3 was to church to meet the ministers talked with them, spoke at church at night an@ was. then off for another part of the world: I must not forge! to say.that I went to the office of Edi- tor Pérter, and found him like te other editor, putting brains on paper He ts getting ready ta put out a spe- cial edition of his.paper. It will be out this: month and promises to be 4 peach. I engaged’ a man of my race to cal for my trunk the next morning and h¢ assured me that he would be there ii he lived and nothing happened. Now I waited and waited but he did no! come. I called up an undertaker ant ..told him to get @ casket and to go t that man’s house for I was sure tha he was dead. I don’t know what he thought ofthe dead wagon going af ter his body. “I saw him as I wa: leaving, full.of booze. Off. for. Roanoke, then to, Norfolk ‘and Dr. Benjamin.F. Watson. I have told you about Dr. Watson time and again. He is one of the greatest men in the Afriean Metnodist. ‘Episcopal Church. He has worked hard. for his people. Of course since the death of his wife he “has not been, the same man. They lived together for so many years, working for the happiness of each other. His daughter is his house- keeper and she is.a, good one. I was Gelighged to see her and hope that she may live long. Shook hands with ‘Miss Marie Thomas, the efficient clerk in the office. Next found me in the home of Dr. W. EL Jernigan, the pastor of one of the largest churches in Washington. 1 spent the night in. his home going out with him to see some of the town rid- ing in his automobile. Now you want to know what hap- pened next. “The next morning I went over to the office to see Editor Mur- phy, I met in the office Dean Pick- ens, and Arnett Murphy, the business man inthe office with three smiles on his face. But, these muy dwindle to two or perhaps one. He is a bright young man and Is sticking to the: busi- ness. Of course D. H. Murphy was on hand. He is the old-timer nd is a good printer. He is foreman in the office. I had the pleasure of go- ing to his home, shaking the hands of his wife and daughter and Little John. All the other people in the office were delighted to see me. Editor Murphy came in and like the others in the office, was surprised to see me, Lunch was served by Mrs. Lavania Henry and I went out to see the parade. It was an effort to tramp down the wets, and there. was just enough rain to do this. Men and women, white women, our women, the ministers of all races were in the line. Looking down the street I saw Dr. Grandison in the line of march for prohibition, to wipe out the saloons and whiskey. I attrocted much at- tention by the way I shouted out. Then next came along Mrs. Mary F. Handy, marching for temperanee. I shouted “Praise God.” 1 kept looking and 1 then'found Dr. Diggs and other mintfs- ters in line, s0 I got in and marched myself. I marched until my old legs got tired and I fell out and went to the station and found my way back to Washington. : Iam now in Richmond, Va., and have been to several banks, I met Mrs. Maggie Walker, but will have to tell you more in my next letter. Iam doing some riding, and if you want to write tome, send the letter care of Bishop J. M. Connor, Osceola, Ark. for I will be there all next. week, ROOSEVELT LAUDS Cc. W. ANDERSON New York, Nov. 4—Before a mam- moth crowd at the National Theatre in this city last night, which had gath- ered to welcome home the Hughes Women's train, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt paid a glowing compliment to Hon. Charles WY. Anderson. The theatre was packed with one of the most brilliant audiences of the cam- paign. Among the leaders of society and business present were Mrs, Harry Payne Whitney, Miss Frances Kellor, ‘Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessy; Dr, Cath- erine Davis; Mrs. 0. P. H. Belmont, Hon. Herbert Parsons, Samuel S. Koe- nig, Commissioner and Mrs, Cabot Ward and many others prominent in business, financial and social circles in this city. Hon. Osear S. Straus presided. Mrs Charles 15. Hughes, the wife of the Ttepublican candidate, ac- eupied one of the boxes. At the con- clusion of the wonderful demonstra tion which attended Colonel Toose- yelt’s appearance, he shook hands with several persons sitting near him and ‘on catehing sight of Mr, Anderson in the rear of the stage, beckoned him ito come forward, shook his hand most cordially and stood for a moment with his left han@ on the Collector's shout- der, which brought a round of ap- plause from the house. During his speech the Colonel re- ferred to the men who had rendered distinguished service in high: gover- mental places while he was President, and said Hon. Oscar §, Straus, whe was a member of his cabinct, and whe was a distinguished Hebrew, was one of the men of whom he had formed the highest esteem. He referred tc Mr. Straus’ service while Ambassador to Turkey in demanding _ protection for the Armenians against the op- pression of the Moslems, and adde¢ “we were all glad to stand by: Mr Straus later og when he demandec protection for the Jews.” Continuing he said, “There is on this platforn a very distinguished member of an- other race whom I am proud to have appointed to office. Mr. Charles W ‘Anderson was the first colored man te he appointed to an olfice of high hono: and responsibility in the North. His record was admirable. He made. good If he bad not, I would not have con tinued him in the office even if ever: colored man in the United States hac requested me to do so. But he not.onk made good, he made a record as high as any man that ever held that grea office, if not a little higher, and havin; done so, I shonid ‘have continued bin in it even if every white man in the United States had asked for his remo val. Ic is worth, not birth that shoul count, wholly regardless of the nation fants. creed or color of the man. | am proud of Mr. Anderson.” ‘These words were greeted witl tremendous applause in which Mrs Hughes joined heartily.

Crrcacot Patronize-those who-Adverts NOTES OF THE GRIDIRON AFRO-AMERICAN BUSINESS DIRECTORY Hard luck in the breaks and partial decisions caused Union to sustain a 15-6 defeat from the Hampton Institute eleven last Friday on the latter's campus. In every department of the gam the visitors presented a better display of pigskin phenomena. Only once did Hampton essay an end run; but that one attempt demonstrated the fact that her ends were too weak for Banks and Taylor. In line plunging, he advantage was easily Union's, only in the second quarter could the team realize a first down through the Union line. Hampton was superior to the visitors in two respects—forward passes and successful blocking. Out of six passes during the contest, Hampton lays claim to four, each netting long gains disastrous to the Red and Steel machine. The champions evidenced superior blocking in kick-offs and running back punts. The first quarter resulted in a deadlock. Yet it was in the initial quarter that the fates signalled thumbs down for Union's luck. Hucles, All-American quarter for last season was fully tacked on the outside of the line in his first attempt to advance the ball, receiving an injury in his right ankle. Protests to the referee against frequent attempts even after this to permanently injure his booting leg were made in vain. In the same quarter, Captain Puryear was rendered unconscious from the impact of a furious onslaught. In spite of the fact that their captain was out of the game and their quarter-back disabled, the plucky visitors held Hampton to a single touchdown and field goal in the first half. The touchdown occurred from midfield: Harvey essayed a forward pass to Rigney; in attempting to block the ball, Taylor left Rigney uncovered. Rigney captured the pigskin, successfully eluded Jackoon's poor tackle and bolted for 'a touchdown. In the second half, Captain Puryear was sufficiently recovered to resume his position in right guard, where he played like a flend the remainder of the game. Hucles was replaced by Gregory, whose broken field running was the sensation of the contest. He drove the Union field to Hampton's thirty yard line. Here they were held for three downs; on the fourth, the Woods-Taylor combination succeeded in advancing the bladder through a forward pass to Hampton's five yard line. Bowie plunged through left tackle for the first touchdown on the Hampton campus in many years. Now began the one-sided fight: Dabney, Hampton's big centre, repeatedly hurdled the Union line; foul tackling and holding, too, were participated in by the local team, for which, however, Refree Henderson failed to penalize. Hampton's second touchdown was illegally given, as it was made after the referee's whistle had blown. Even in the face of all these odds, the Union's machine still showed its superiority in versatile plays and was soon on Hampton's five yard line again. This time, however, Williamson passed the ball over Bowie's head and Union's chances of winning were over. Touchdowns: Harvey, Rigney and Bowie. Field goals Harvey. Field goals, Harvey. Referee: E.

LINCOLN BOWS TO HOWARD IN SPIRITED CONTEST --- Before one of the largest and most select crowds of the season the white and blue machine of Howard University dipped the colors of "Pop" Rendall's boys into a full bucket of kalsamine on Howard campus last Saturday afternoon, and when the timekeeper's whistle blew the score stood 26 to 0. Every doctor from Baltimore, who could beg, borrow or "lift" an automobile or the price of a one-way ticket to the Capital City was on hand at the start of the game, so if you rung any of them up and their clerks or wives informed you that they were "expecting them in every minute" just put it down that they were giving you the "rough stuff." Hardly at any time during the game was Howard's goal in grave danger. Wave after wave of terrible onslaughts were turned back by a "curtain of stone in the impregnable line of Howard's defense, and when the white and blue backs got a grip on the pig skin there was no stopping their onward rush. Shortly after the opening period Stratton, Howard's plucky quarterback was put out of the game through an injury to his spine. The coach then shifted fullback Pinder-hughes to that important position. who pulled off a series of plays that completely bewildered the Pennsylvania boys. He repeatedly sent Gilmore through the Lincoln line or around the end and then shot forward passes straight, as an arrow into the arms of the tall Howardite, which resulted in long gains. Randall, who filled one of the tackle positions for Howard, played like a fiend, seldom missing anyone he went after and tackling with unerring aim and surety. Taken as a whole the playing of the Howard team was of the highest quality and machine like precision, which will put the men from the "Hill" in the front rank of Eastern colleges. It must be said for Lincoln boys that they certainly put up a plucky fight. With certain defeat staring them in the face they never wavered nor lost courage but with characteristic tenacity, set themselves to the trying task before them, trying to keep the score to the minimum. Morgan College played its third game of football last Friday at Oriole Park last Friday afternoon. The day was ideal and the boys from Virginia were set upon giving the Marylanders the fight of their lives. Morgan won the toss and took the East goal, receiving the kick. For five minutes the Morgan boys looked dangerous and made several first downs only to lose the ball within twenty yards of their own goal. The Manassas boys with a heavy back field used a tackle formation which was successful and netted gains every time. The heady captain of the visitors used only tackle and end plays working his three large backs in every play. They scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. Morgan seemed dazed or asleep until the beginning of the second half when they played real football. They used a variety of plays but none landed them nearer than eight yards of their goal. The Virginians played a strong, progressive game, especially on the defense. Morgan's team was much lighter and lacking in some points of football experience. Dorsey made most of the ground gaining for the local team. Williams and Ayrs played great ball on the ends and Smith did well at tackle. Webb, the centre, was the mainstay of the line, while Scott was the general of the backfield. Morgan should have scored two touchdowns but bad judgment on the part of the captain prevented. A large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed the game. Morgan will play the strong Storer College team on November 18. COLORED BOX MAKES SENSATIONAL PLAY Mr. Editor: I. with several friends, went to see a basket ball game between the University of Pennsylvania and the Standard Roller Bearing teams. My main object in going was to see the playing of Mr. Ulysses A. Jones formerly of Baltimore but late of Philadelphia. He, by the way, was the only Negro in the game. He plays right forward on the Standard team, one of the fastest teams of the North. There was quite a bit of talking concerning his playing and Penn almost decided to forfeit the game because he was a Negro. But the case was settled and he was put in the second half. The score was nothing to nothing when in the last five minutes of play Jones, the Negro, made the longest shot I ever saw. He was wide of his position, a man guarding him in front when he made a backward shot from near center falling directly into the basket as if being dropped into it by a mysterious hand. The people rushed down stairs to pick him up but the ushers held them back until the few remaining moments of the game expired. I write to you because he is a Baltimore youth and above all a Negro. I think Baltimoreans ought to be proud of him. Penn has beaten such teams as Swathmore and the strong U. of Pittsburgh. It was really some feat. Yours truly. GEORGE WATTS Pointed Paragraphs Judging from the terrific struggle that Virginia Union gave Hampton, Howard will have no easy pickings when it goes up against the latter team this Saturday. Many claim that in the game between Howard and Annapolis, the Maryland boys really outplayed their opponents who were favored with the "breaks" in the game. Fred Pollard, the husky star of Brown University is playing a tip-top game this year in his regular position at halfback. It is doubtful if Brown could have made the splendid showing she has this year had it not been for the excellent performances of Pollard. ```markdown ``` Howard's football team left this week for a Southern tour which will include Virginia Union, Fisk, Storer, Moorehouse and other big southern colleges. They will not meet Tuskegee. Morgan College will meet the strong team from Storer College at Oriole Park next Saturday. Everybody turn out and root for Morgan. The High School football team will play Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, Morgan and Tuskegee just as soon as it is organized and can secure dates. Boys wishing to make the tour should apply to Director Ross not later than Decoration Day. --- The Dunbar basketball team is keeping in practice at the Waesche street court, in the hope of securing Bethel hall for some games. The men are already in mid-season form. The St. Mary's rooters will miss Butler and Thomas from their line-up this year. But then that should not make a great difference. "There IS others." Louie Taylor, for instance. The Astoria basketball team will tour Europe after the war giving comedy performances for the benefit of the war sufferers. Messrs T. and A. Jones will compose the team. On account of advanced years, Messrs. Webb, Bantum and Wilson of the Dunbar basketball team have retired on a pension by a special ruling of the club. They will receive 25 cents each for every game in which they do not participate as heart balm.
