--- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY VOL. XXV. No.18 WOULD CONFINE NEGRO TO SOUTH Federation of Labor Becoming Alarmed at Influx of Colored Labor in the North. "MENACE" TO WHITE MEN Will Inaugurate Movement to Confine Colored Labor to the Southern States The hostile attitude of the American Federation of labor to Negro workmen, skilled and unshuffled, was resisted Thursday, when their convention adopted a resolution asserting that the recent large emigration of colored workers in the North and West was a "menace" and calling upon the Federation to "inaugurate a movement looking towards the organization of the Negroes in the South to the end that they may be instructed in the trade-union movement and thereby eliminate this menace to the (white) workers in the northern States. The resolution was introduced by Henry W. Raissie, of the Ohio State Federation, and George Hahn of the Cleveland, Ohio Federation. The resolution claimed that investigation of the going to Ohio of a large number of colored workers recently has demonstrated to the labor unions of that State that the colored men were being imported to take the places of white union men depending better working conditions, as in the case of freight handlers; that the scarcity of foreign labor on account of the European war has made the Negro available; the northern labor market, and that the same may be true of other States north of the Maston and Dixon's Line. After the resolution had been reported favably, Frank D. Brown, of Kansas, who spoke in its favor, declared that "Storewall" Jackson's observation was true; that the South may have the Civil War, but it would add to the labor troubles of the North. This, he said, was borne out by the shifting of thousands of colored worker to the North in recent months. With only one dissenting vote the resolution was finally adopted. President Comperts and the executive council are instructed by the resolution to inaugurate the campaign of "education" for southern Negroes. FOR THE SOUTH ONLY FOR THE SOUTH SUDY As the resolution specifically mentions the colored workmen of the South, is regarded as an adjective attempt to prevent the race from ever getting a toothhold in diversified employment in the North. Trained unionism is not as strong in the South, as in other sections of the country. There colored men work at many trades and in many instances side by side with white men. The unfamiliar of a large number of colored men in the South would prevent their working in "open" shops to the North and West. As labor unions in the North and West have almost invariably shut their doors in the face of colored skilled workmen, there would not be much chance of colored workmen belonging to the union receiving employment outside of the South, as white union labor men would most likely oppose concerns employing even a limited number of such men. A case in point is the recent supplanting of striking Italian hodcarriers in New York city by colored men who had just been unionized. As soon as the Italians and the former employers had settled their differences, the colored union men were discharged and their Italian union "brothers" taken back. It has long been known that it was hard for colored skilled labor to get employment outside of the South on account of the hostile attitude of the unions. The unions have always seen to it that not even a few colored men could secure membership. The benefits of the labor union movement were not for the colored men, only in some callings where the colored men had almost a monopoly. MINEWORKERS FAIR The Mineworkers Union is a notable instance where the colored workmen have received a fair show. The hod-carriers and the stevedores are other classes who have received recognition on a substantial scale, but other lines of industry have been hostile. Organized labor has usually coddled the fresh European immigrant, but that source of supply has been cut off by the European war. In a nutshell, it is seemingly against the employment of colored men in the North, because they are not of the white race. The union forces also see the tremendous possibilities that the Negro has in his being employed in large numbers outside of the South. Rather than aid him to become one of them, the resolution would, in effect, stifle that ambition outside of the South, except in a few lines of endeavor. It is true that attempts are now being made to unionize' colored labor in Charleston, Dallas and one or two other Southern cities, but this effort is not for the purpose of letting these colored men sell their labor in any market monopolized by the Federation, and from which hitherto the race has been excluded That the American Federation of Labor has never concerned itself about the welfare of the great mass of colored labor in this country was indicated in the Georgia railroad firemen's strike several years ago. An effort was made to have colored firemen ousted altogether. Failing in this the union did not contend that colored men receive the same pay as whites for similar service, and today the colored firemen are receiving less than the whites. HIGH SCHOOL OVERRUN Fort Worth, Tex., November 16—As a result of the congestion in the Colored High School, more than 100 pupils have been transferred to a building formerly used by the whites. FOR COLORED CONSUMPTIVES A strong plea for a sanitiorum for colored consumptives was made by Rev. George A. Griffiths, rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, at a meeting of the Maryland Conference on Charities and Corrections Wednesday. He pointed out that the State had made no provisions for its colored tubercular patients, and declared that many colored people abhorred the thought of going to Bayview Asylum. Dr. John S. Fulton, of the State Board of Health, also declared that the State should make better provision for the care of colored consumptives and asserted that tuberculosis cases among colored people were not reported as regularly as among the whites. MAY FRECT NEW CHURCH The congregation of Ashury M. E. Church, Rogers avenue and Lexington streets, may begin the erection of a new house of worship within the next few months. A number of the influential members of the church declare that a new home is necessary. According to those who know, the hall, which adjoins the hall on the east, will be enlarged and remodeled, thus providing a home for the congregation while the church is being rebuilt. Ashury Church enjoys the distinction of having been on one site longer than any colored church in the city, being located there for more than a century. Rev. Dr George C. Curry is pastor of the church HIELEN HAGAN SCORES IN PIANO RECTAL - On last Monday evening, Miss Helen Bagan, the Yale prize winner pianist, gave a piano recital at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, under the auspices of Morgan College, before a large and enthusiastic audience. Each number on her program was played with brilliance and masterful interpretation. The program consisted of Rachminoff's Frelude in C sharp minor, Mendelssohn's Rondo Cuprecloser: Coleidge Taylor's "Let me cheer the Worry Traveler" and an African dance, "Barnboula," Godard's "Au Rose," Lists "Liebestraume," and Grieg's "Wedding Day at Throhogan. Miss Hagan's technic, phrasing, pedaling, and her rich tone production showed her to be an earnest, sincere and poetic artist. She was at her best in every number, and intelligence and skill controlled her playing. She won her way into the hearts of her auditors when she played Rachminoff's Frelude in C Sharp Minor, a most difficult number. So enthusiastically was the applause that she was compelled to respond to several encores. Miss Hagan will always retain a warm spot in the hearts of all Baltimore music lovers. Miss Pannie E. Spencer delighted the audience by her excellent rendition of "Who Knows" and other compositions. She has a beautiful voice and wide range. Miss Spencer is the daughter of Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of Norgan College. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, showed the quality of his rich, baritone voice in a selection from Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiwatha." The Glee Club of Morgan College rendered Negro melodies in pleasing style, receiving several encores. I. C. B. GOOD HOPES ELECT OFFICERS With delegates present from all parts of the State, the 57th annual session of the Grand Council of the Grand United Order of Good Hope came to a close at Good Hope Hall Thursday night. All of the principal officers were reelected. These include William G. Price, grand master; Benjamin Langston, deputy grand master; Mrs. Lillie Butler, vice grand daughter; George Pullman, grand treasurer and Lloyd Palmer, degree master CHURCHMEN'S CLUB SMOKER The second annual smoker under the auspices of the Churchmen's Club of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church was held at the above named church on last Monday evening. The principal address of the evening was made by Clarke L. Smith, of the Baltimore bar, who spoke on "The intelligent handling of the right of franchise. A number of visitors and some of the members made brief addresses, following which a light lunch was served. There were about forty men present. ```markdown ``` TO HONOR MEMORY OF DR.WASHINGTON All roads will lead to the Academy of Music this Sunday afternoon, at which time Baltimore is expected to contribute her share toward the $2,000,000 fund that is being raised in this country as a memorial to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. It is only a year this month since the great educator died, but there has been a hearty response to the appeal for funds to build some fitting monument to the man who made "Tuskegee" a household word in every land. Wealthy men and women of the other race have already given generously to this fund, and it is thought that the colored people themselves should get $250,000. While substantial progress has been made in this direction, the goal is far from being reached. New York, Dallas and other cities have shown their interest by making fine contributions, and it is expected that Baltimore will not give it less than two thousand, five hundred dollars. Dr. Washington made several visits here, and always expressed himself as being highly pleased with Baltimore his last visit was to speak before the Health Conference, a few months before his death, and he reiterated his words of praise for Baltimore. The memorial will be the biggest ever erected to a colored man. It will also include additions to the endowment fund of Tuskegee Institute, to the upbuilding of which Dr. Washington gave his life. Among those who will speak at Sunday's meeting are: Dr. Robert Russia Moton, who succeeded Dr. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute; Emmett J. Scott, for many years secretary to the dead educator; Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Colored High School; Rev. Dr. R. W. Hogue and Dr. William Welch, the noted pathologist. Baltimore, turn out in large numbers and help swell the $2,500,000 Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. REV. O. C. SPRAGUE DEAD Washington, November 15—Rev. O. C. Sprague one of the promising ministers of the M. E. Conference, died at the home of his brother here, following an illness of six weeks. He was pastor of the M. E. Church at Middleburg, Va. Sprague was a native of Prince George's county and received his education at Howard University and Gammon Theological Seminary. 2,500 MEN EMPLOYED Philadelphia, Pa., November 17—two thousand five hundred colored men are employed in the erection of grain elevators at Girard Point, which will be the largest in the world. MES. HILL IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh, Pa., November 17—Mrs. Margaret Peck Hill, a Baltimore temperance lecturer, has delivered addresses in several city churches this week urging interest in the temperance cause. While here she was, the guest of Mrs. Thomas Moore, of 1429 Sardusky street, Northside. INVESTIGATORS VISIT GOTHAM at The Academy of Music EMMETT J. SCOTT SHAKE UP IN LOCAL POLITICS Local G. O. P. Organization Will Endeavor to Change Old Order of Things While the city and county Democrats are making faces at each other, the Republicans have begun to look forward to next year. There will be a determined effort to elect a State Comptroller and secure control of the State Legislature. The securing of the Legislature would mean that the Republicans would elect a State treasurer and thus get control of the Board of Public Works. A hot fight will be waged in this city by the Republicans for the control of the city machinery, the belief being that new blood is needed. The last Republican State Convention passed a resolving making wards and not legislative districts in choosing committee. A big fight will be made in the 17th Ward where Harry Cummings runs things thus "Jim" Young. The latter is a genial fellow, but when it comes to transacting the big business it is said that Harry insists on running a number of the voters in the ward have declared that they want a real committeeman, or if Cummings wants to be the actual committeeman let him get in the race and run for it. Some of the friends of Daniel Richardson are urging him to run against Cummings' man Young. Louis Davenport is said to be one of those who is willing to line up with the opposition to the present regime. Some of the friends of Assistant State's Attorney Nice are urging that he become a candidate for the State Senate from the Fourth Legislative District. He has been a City Councilman, Mayor's Secretary and a Supervisor of Elections, and thus has had a wide experience in politics within the past 13 years. The Fourth district will be redeemed by the Republicans next Fall, and if Nice goes to the Senate he will be in a position for bigger honors coming his way afterward. He was a candidate for the State Tax Commission but Governor Harrington continued Oscar Leeser thereon. The name of Clarendon I. Gould, former police commissioner is mentioned for the mayoralty nomination for the Republican nomination in 1919. He made many friends in the Goldsborough senatorial campaign and in the recent pre-election fight. But 1919 is a long way off and there may be others mentioned besides Mr. Gould and Mr.Broening. ERECTING $10,000 TENEMENT Sherman, Tex., Nov 16—J. W. Andrews a colored farmer near here, is erecting a two-story brick and basement building in this city. A colored contractor, employing all colored labor is doing the work. The building will cost $10,000 and will be rented to colored tenants. DISCUSS WELFARE OF WORKERS Williamsport, Pa., Nov. 16—Plans looking after the uplift of the hundreds of colored people who have emigrated hereabouts from the South were discussed at a meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church last week. COLORED WOMEN PROMOTED St. Louis, Mo., November 16—As a result of a recent strike among white women making sausage in the plant of Armour and Company, the colored scrub women have been given their places. GET STRIKERS PLACES Bridgeport, Conn. November 16 Colored moulders have taken the place of striking whites at the Penguinnock Foundry. The unions refuse to admit the colored, however The first Bible Institute and Conference of the Young Men's Christian Association was held at the Association Building, 1619 Drulid Hill avenue, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Two sessions were held each day. The opening session on Tuesday was largely attended. Secretary Booker in outlining the object of the conference stated that it was to awaken interest in Bible study both in the home and church and to create a deeper appreciation for the Bible upon the part of all. The slogan of the conference, he said, was "A Bible Class in every Church," and he urged every worker to register in some Sunday School for service. The attendance for the week was excellent, more than twenty-one Sunday Schools being represented by both teachers and students. Many of the local clergy attended the meetings and endorsed the movement. All of the topics discussed had some vital bearing upon the Bible study group. Following are among the speakers who opened discussions: Mesrs George Summer Whyte, George L. Simms, Rev. Drs. M. J. Nayor, Albert J. Mitchell, Leonard Z. Johnson, James R. Diggs, Ease Elliott and Mr. J. H. Murphy, who spoke on the need of Bible Study. The special interest of the conference centered about Dr. J. Milton Waldron, of Washington, who conducted the institute. Dr. Waldron is a close student of the Bible and his messages were thrilling with interest and full of information. At the closing meeting on Friday night, Dr. Waldron conducted a special consecration service in keeping with the Y. M. C. A. spirit of celebrating the annual world-wide week of prayer for men and boys. All of the meetings were held under the auspices of the Bible Study and Religious committees of the Association, who deserve credit for their successful attempt to awakening the religious forces of the community. A salad and oyster supper was served by the ladies on Wednesday evening. SHOULD PLAN WELL FOR EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN That long planning should precede a city-wide evangelistic campaign was the observation made by Rev. George E. Curry at the weekly meeting of the M. E. Ministerial Association Wednesday. He said that, in his belief, such attention must be given to working out the financial and other details, and that grouping churches according to sections would not be productive of good results. The utterances of Dr. Curry followew the reading of a paper on "Revivals" by Rev. W. N. Holt. The minister suggested a group plan similar to the one used in the Sunday campaign. He also gave a number of ideas for the running of a successful revival campaign. Rev. S. A. Virgil declared that Baltimore ministers lacked the spirit of cooperation. Revs. S. R. Hughes, N. M. Carroll and J. H. Goodrich were among the others who spoke. Following the discussion the ministers installed the following officers for the ensuing term: R. W. S. Thomas, president; C. H. Matthews, vice president; S. R. Hughes, second vice president; W. N. Holt, secretary; Joseph Wheeler, assistant secretary; James H. Goodrich, treasurer; Ernest Lyon, editor; Daniel W. Hays, associate editor; Nathan W. Johnson, usher; G. A. Davis, chorister; C. D. Hughes, organist; Ernest Williams, chairman of the executive committee WINCHESTER NOTES Winchester, Va., Nov. 15—The committee of ladies and gentlemen who were in charge of the two weeks' bazaar which closed at John Mann Church on the evening of the 10th, are very much pleased with the financial success. Rev. C. E. Queen, pastor. The teachers of Winchester and Frederick counties held a very interesting and enthusiastic meeting at the school building, Prof. P. W. Glipson, principal, are more than pleased with the progress of all the schools. The Men's Day which was held at Mt. Carmel Free Baptist Church was one of the most successful of its kind ever held in this church. Rev. J. R. Augustus, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, preached a fine sermon in the afternoon. The program rendered by the men at the evening service was an excellent one. Mr. Mayhue Cook is ATTENDED SCHOOL HERE ATTENDED SCHOOL HERE Mr Ernest Hays, who will appear in a joint musical recital at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Friday evening, November 24th, with Mr. Wesley L. Howard, of Indiana, was formerly a pupil of the public schools of this city. While attending the High School he studied music under Mrs. B. E. Rhetta, later in Washington, under Mr. Charles Donch. Here he was graduated from the M. street High School from which a scholarship to the Washington Conservatory of Music was awarded. After a year spent at Howard University he decided to pursue music as a profession and entered New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, from which he was graduated June, 1916. In handling the pipe organ he has displayed unusual ability and bids fair to rank with the best performers in the country. PRICE THREE CENTS WOULD CURTAIL SOUTH'S POWER Republicans Attribute Recent Defeat to Advantage South Has by Disfranchising Colored Voters TO REGISTER THE RACE Efforts Will Be Made to Get Colored Vote Registered Washington, November 17th—Now that President Wilson has been re-elected, the leading men of both parties are discussing their programs up to 1920. Not that anything definite may be done n the program-making now, but just to map out things on a tentative basis. Republicans are greatly chagrined over their defeat by a narrow margin. They realize now that their mistakes kept Hughes from getting the coveted prize. There is already talk of beginning work to make the Republican victorious in 1920. Of course the reasonable prospect of the party's organizing the next House of Representatives adds a little "pep" to the plans. The party will need a recasting, however, to again get what may be a permanent foothold. Its allowing the South to disfranchise the colored voters and of the growth of monopolies that enriched a few are largely responsible for its not having elected the next President. Indeed, in influential circles there have been heard mutterings within the past week of the unfair advantage that the South has over the rest of the country through its disfranchisement of the colored voters. The colored people are counted in the apportionment for Congress and the Electoral College, but only a few are allowed the right of suffrage. Numbers Congressional districts in the South could not elect a representative were it not for the fact that the Negro has been robbed of the vote. Yet the men, for the most part, who represent these districts in Congress, are the bitterest enemies when it comes to the rights of the race. The New York Herald, knowing what this and other conditions concerning the country mean, has advocated a federal election law. The Republicans had a chance to enact one in 1890, when the Lodge Federal Elections Law was before Congress, but allowed the late Senators Quay and Gorman to defend it. The Chicago Tribune is advocating the curtailment of the South's power through the disfranchisement of the Negro. The South, as was present in the recent election, with its nearly 150 votes in the Electoral College, made Wilson's election possible. The far West may change its alliination in voting, but the South never. TO REGISTER RACE While no organized effort has been made, save in Tennessee, to get the colored vote of the South registered since the United States Supreme Court abrogated the "grandfather" clause in Southern election laws, it is believed that a systematic effort will be made to get colored men registered in large numbers in all the Southern States. This would mean a wiping out of sure Democratic elections in the South. The thousands of colored men who have recently migrated to the North and West will be eligible to vote within the next year. This means a change in the situation that the South has created designedly within the last three decades. The North has acquired hitherto but it now knows that it means danger to American ideals and its own prestige. Whether or not the Democratic party will seek to change its attitude regarding he Negro, and though much was hoped for during the past four years, it has turned resolutely its face against everything that meant anything for his progress. Perhaps Bishop Walters, who has long plead for the Negro Democrats, may be able to stiffen up the backbone of the President regarding the race, but he will have a herculean task. Some few colored Democrats will be taken care of, however, and no anti-Negro measures passed. The last named prophecy will most likely be true only because of the majority that the Republicans will have in the lower House of Congress. PROHIBITION AN ISSUE With 24 States "dry" the liquor question may be a big issue in the next national campaign. Indeed William Jennings Bryan's announcement that he will urge the "dry" platform upon the Democrats during the next four years makes it more apparent. The peerless Commoner may even run on a prohibition platform. In the meantime Colonel Roosevelt will loom large in Republican presidential calculations, and with the two colonels pitted against each other, the former Rough Rider will walk away with the "bacon" S WOMAN'S COLUMN BY MARGARET BLACKG seeeseoeecenoensese THE.

BALTIMORE, NOV. 18, 1916 A most timely article indeed was that on the "Squelcher," which appeared in the Woman's Column of this paper last week. We all know the character and have frequently come in contact with the individual, but there is one pest far worse than the "Squelcher" and that is the individual who is trying constantly to blacken some one's character. It matters not the least whether a story is true or false, all they aim to do is to spread the virus as far as possible. The higher the standing of the individual, the more delight they take in trying to pull him down. They would not face the individual for all the money in the banks, but every time they get a listening ear, by suggestion, inuendo or other means they rehearse and rehearse until they succeed in making some one believe their nefarious gossip. Few of these individuals could stand the limelight of their own characters, and frequently they try to blacken the character of someone else to hide their own shortcomings. This class of individuals is to be found everywhere and there is no getting rid of them, it seems; they have to be left to their own devices and time to bring them the reward they deserve. HOW IT HAPPENED It is astonishing how many logical reasons, how many attractive explanations can be found for an event after it has happened. The closeness of the Presidential election which appears to have been won by a majority of less than 500,000 popular votes makes plenty of speculation for speculation, and both parties are hard at it. On the Republican side, campaign managers claim that not enough effort in time or money was spent by the National Committee in convincing the voter of the path he should take. State leaders in Kansas point to ignored requests for $25,000, which they believed enough to turn the tide toward Mr. Hughes. Also out of the West comes the cry that Mr. Hughes as the Republican nominee was forced by the party leaders upon the rank and file of the party who wanted Mr. Roosevelt. So the worm turned. With Mr. Roosevelt as leader of the Republican forces, it is said, there would be little doubt as to the party which would have carved the solid West. On the Democratic side, the winners are just as active in their efforts to ferret out the secret of the President's re-election. They point to the prosperity of the country due they believe in large measure to the peace policy of Mr. Wilson. The President, they assert, stole the "thunder" of the progressive Republicans, who under Mr. Hughes were unable to unfold any new policy, which might be clearly discerned and accepted by the masses of the people. The single plank upon which the Republicans could get a strangle hold was the revision of the tariff upwards. How a high tariff benefits the big interests and not the common people Daniel Webster showed years ago. On the other hand, the slogan of Mr. Wilson's party "he has kept us out of war" appealed immediately and forbly to the labor voters and to the women. Not all of the credit of the Democratic victory, is given to personal popularity of President Wilson, in fact, Mr. Hughes is admitted to have gained a larger number of personal admirers than Mr. Wilson. Special praise is being meted out to Senator James of Kentucky, and Senator Lewis, of Illinois, who toured the West in the wake of Mr. Hughes and offset the work of the Republican by effective speech making. Some of Senator James best speeches are said to have been made in California. To whomever the credit of Mr. Wilson's election may be due, so far as can be learned, little of it belongs to the colored voter. The districts where his vote was a deciding influence, went for Mr. Hughes, for no one had so little desire as he to see the South in the saddle for another four years. NATIONAL ORGANIZATION AMONG BEAUTY CULTURISTS If doctors, lawyers, ministers, merchants bankers and others engaged in gainful pursuits find it to their advantage to ally themselves into national organizations for the good that comes from organized effort, why should not the beauty culturists throut the country by organization put their business on he level with other pursuits? This is the question that a leading beauty cultural expert is asking of the proprietors of beauty establishments in many cities. A part of the communication runs: "We the beauty culturists of the country have done and ear ignodim country have done and are doing much to lift the standard of the Negro race and to place the Negro woman in her proper atmosphere so that she can command both the respect of her home, and those with whom she comes in contact." Regarding the national organization it is said: "I am sure we could not only greatly dignify the business, but aside from that we would be able to educate our people against fake preparations, instititors and imposters, who are declining and misguiding thousands of Negro women, and at the same time we would like all other persons in business, have such mutual helpfulness, that would be beneficial to all." In the last ten years one of the encouraging things in colored business enterprise has been the unprecedented development in the manufacture of beauty preparations. One of the most widely known manufacturers of the race is Mme. J. C. Walker, of Indianapolis, Indiana, who is said to have made a fortune out of hair oils. Since beauty parlors are a new venture, there is scarcely one that does not make its own preparations, which it regards as good or better than standard preparations enjoying a wider distribution. Imitation and imposition naturally flourish, and the consumer is the victim. This is not the chief reason, however, why cooperation in this as in other enterprises should prove beneficial. In cities proprietors of single drug stores are being driven to the wall by cut-rate firms running a series of stores. In other cities, large firms like the Atlantic and Pacific, the Sanitary Grocery Company or the Dutch Market run a chain of stores throughout the country, selling their wares at a figure much lower than the owner of a single grocery could afford. It appears to be only a matter of time when all of the business now in the hands of independent jobbers and workers will pass into control of cooperative firms. In view of this trend of modern business, and the stiff competition that is bound to result when large white companies enter the field of providing beauty preparations, the call of the Western beauty specialist shows a high degree of business sense. It is the part of wisdom not only to cooperate, but if possible, consolidate. --- Voters in the United States are cheered by the news from the presidential election in Cuba. Two weeks after the vote was taken the election was in doubt, and it is stated the uncertainty is likely to last until the new electinos in certain provinces which are scheduled for February. WHAT HE FOUND A newspaper reporter of one of the Chicago dailies who lunched with the head of the Sears, Rochuck Company. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, found four things on the walls of one of the rooms. They were a framed Murillo, a portrait of his mother, the blueprint of a Y. M. C. A. and a likeness of Booker T. Washington. It is easy to see why such a patron of the Y. M. C. A. movement for new buildings in many cities—Mr. Rosenwald has contributed $25,000 toward the erection of our local building—should have the blue print of a new building upon his wall. It is not difficult to understand why Mr. Rosenwald should admire a painting of Bartholome Murillo, famous for his representation of biblical scenes. The picture of his mother—every man has two pictures of his mother, one in his heart and the other a photograph where he can see it occasionally. There is some room for inquiry as to the reason for the likeness of the late Booker Washington. The explanation comes out in the reporter's characterization of Mr. Rosenwald. He found the great millionaire so plain, homelike and void of affectation that he puts the lowly at ease entirely. During the whole lunch-eon, the whole talk was of other people's happiness and not once of himself, or his money. Surely a man who has so much, has given so much, and has done so much, has some affectation, thought the reporter, but he came away convinced that if there was anything not genuine in Mr. Rosenwald, he had not been able to discover it. If Mr. Rosenwald, great and wealthy as he is, is also simple and genuine of heart, he has the enviable quality that distinguished the late Mr. Washington. It explained the Jew's admiration of the Negro, and the picture in the Rosenwald home. THE AFRO-AMERICAN That the Republican party, or any other party for that matter, enters the race for the Presidency of the United States with a Democratic handicap of one hundred and thirty-two votes against it, is attracting more than passing notice. An article in the Philadelphia Ledger and an editorial of some length in the Chicago Tribune, in recent issues, calls attention to this matter in a way that, if kept up, will mean business. We have before this called attention to the fact that the Demomcratic party enters the race with practically one-half of the electoral votes counted for that party before the voting begins. The Tribune in calling attention to the matter says: "The great region of twelve states to which these votes are assigned is impervious to all appeals, all issues. It is not debatable ground. Outside of it the tide of opinion is free. Great issues are presented to the electorate, debated and finally judged. Here, east north and west, there is the process of free government, government by public opinion. In the solid south there is no opinion. In 1865 the election of 1916 was determined, as far as the South is concerned, and so will the election of 1920 and every election until conditions have been radically changed. utions have are not concerned to blame the southerners for this automatic patriotism. They have reasons which seem conclusive to them for it. But it is clear that if the policies and government of the United States are to be directed by fair discussion and free judgment, if, in short, the United States is to be a republic in reality and not a republic in the Mexican sense, we must consider what it means to have a perfectly dent weight of 132 electoral votes cast into the scale when over national election. of our state. "We ought to consider also that this block is out of all proportion to its voting strength. These 122 votes do not represent free judgment on the issues of the campaign, but, what is more, they do not represent the same ratio to votes cast at the same election as an equivalent number from the north. "For example, Alabama cast 12 votes in the electoral college. Her population in 1915 was 2,301,277. In the election of 1912 her total vote was 117,879." "Minnesota casts the same number of votes in the electoral college as Albana. Her population in 1915 was 2,246,761. In the election of 1412 her total vote was 334,219. "The Alabama population of 2,300,000 contained, according to the census of 1910, over 900,000 Negroes. This is the chief reason why the popular vote of Alabama is one-third that of Minnesota. The situation in short is this: The Negro does not vote in the Solid south, but his strength is voted regularly for the Democratic candidate in the electoral college. "Thus we have in the South, not only a voter whose judgment is foreclosed, but also a voter who carries something like three times as much weight in the electoral college as the voter in the north, whose judgment is not predetermined. "This preposterous wrong against government against free opinion ought not to be tolerated." If there is any good reason why the vote of one man should so far outweigh that of another man we would like to know it. Just why the vote of a man in Mississippi should count as much as the vote of three men in New York or Minnesota, in a country where one vote should count as only one vote and no more, is the question that should be answered in a way satisfactory to the entire country. The Southern States do not contribute half as much to the support of the government, taking State by State, as do the Northern and Western states; then in the name of reason why should it be allowed to over balance the votes of those states by voting three to one. "Girard" in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, has this to say: "Before the first ballot is cast in a box this morning the vote of eleven States is as good as counted. They will go somely for President Wilson and give him 126 electoral votes—almost half enough to elect him. "In those eleven States reside 6,000,000 colored persons—a third or more of the total population—and measured by practical results, not one of them has a vote. "Those 6,000,000 persons are counted for purposes of getting more Congressmen and for making up the Electoral College. They get no further than that. The South has an immense advantage over the North and West in all presidential elections. It counts its great Negro population as a basis for electoral ballots and then disfranchises the element of its people that might vote as the South does not wish it to vote. "Take South Carolina. There are 150,000 more Negroes than whites in that State. The Negroes are counted to give South Carolina nine electoral votes, but those Negroes have no power whatever to say for whom the electoral votes for which they are responsible shall be cast. "A third of Virginia's population is black and upwards of a half of Georgia's. The blacks far outnumber the whites in Mississippi and are three-fourths as numerous in Louisiana." "But in none of these States is it possible for the Negro's vote really to count in the presidential contest. That arrangement enables the South to go solidily and serenely one way, as it has done for a half century. "The result is that a white man's vote in South Carolina or Mississippi counts for more than twice as much today as any man's vote in Pennsylvania or any other northern State. "In other words, the South Carolina or Mississippi white man gets double the representation in the Electoral College that a Pennsylvania man gets. "Pennsylvania has considerably more than ten times as many white persons as South Carolina. Today South Carolina's white men will elect nine presidential electors. All of Pennsylvania's men, white and black, will elect only thirty-eight. "If New York's white population got as big a representation in the Electoral College as Mississippi's white men, they would today designate 110 electoral votes for President instead of forty-five. "That is why I say the South has a great advantage over the North in a presidential contest." We believe that the politicians as well as the right thinking people of the North, will, sometime in the future, take this matter up, come to a conclusion and see that an adjustment is made. But whenever that time comes, one may be well assured that the South, will as usual, raise the cry of the "bloody shirt," and thus endeavor to stave off the just retribution that is sure to come. Will the North and the West be intimidated by this muddying of the waters, and allow this condition to go on indefinitely? We think not. At least, we hope not. It has already gone too far. Let the matter be settled in spirit of fairness to both the North and the South and then let the best man win when it comes to a show-down at election times. PUTTING A CRIMP IN THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Secretary Redfield announced last week that the cost of living has increased approximately 35 per cent in the last year. He explained that the advance is not confined to the United States alone but is world-wide, due primarily to the European war. On the heels of this announcement, the barbers of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, found it absolutely necessary to advance the price of hair cutting and shaving to 35 and 15 cents respectively. This action of the Pittsburgh barbers is certainly the heaviest blow that has yet fallen upon the workingman who is trying to make last year's salary fit this year's prices. If the increase of price were for shaving alone the average man would purchase a safety razor and have done with his semi-weekly visits to the shop behind the striped pole, but the number of men who can satisfactorily cut their own hair can be counted without a census enumerator. The rise in the price of foodstuffs has led to the extraordinary consumption of chewing gum since a professor in the University of Chicago found that gum and tobacco chewing cause a decrease in stomach contractions, and thereby assuage the sharpest appetites. The sales of clothing establishments for the FOR QUESTION In many other party for that matter; of the United States with a Democracy—two votes against it, is at present. An article in the Philadelphia length in the Chicago Tribune, in matter in a way that, if kept up, he this called attention to the fact race with practically one-half of party before the voting begins. In to the matter says: States to which these votes are as many, all issues. It is not debatable opinion is free. Great issues are end and finally judged.

In examined, as far as the South is concerned, and every election until concludes the southerners for this autumn which seem conclusive to them policies and government of the fair discussion and free judgment, but, what is more, they do not consider what it means to electoral votes cast into the scale.

I received your letter in Baltimore in which you spoke of the work which you had done for our convention. You certainly had done a sufficient amount and done it well enough to deserve our thanks and credit at least, our courtesy. I am very sorry that your reporter was not treated courteously at the pugent at the Oriole Park. We did have such a good time in Baltimore; every one was so cordial to us that I would hate to have anything come up to mar it. I hope, however, that some day you will come to Tuskegee so that I, at least, may show you the courtesy due you. To His Honor, The Judge of the Appeal Tax Court of the City of Baltimore. Honored Sir:— I esteem it a privilege to have the honor of addressing you these few lines. Sir, on leaving your office the other morning, after my interview with you about assessing and taxing colored citizens who are property owners, I thought it well to write you on that subject. You will remember, sir, the inquiry was as to how many owners of taxable property there were among the colored people of the city, and for what amount they were assessed, and the amount of taxes they pay annually. My reasons for presenting this matter to Your Honor are more than one. First, we are citizens, and as I said to you, we ought, as I believe, do, pay our taxes, and that too in full, for there is not a tax dodger among us; but if there should be, you will find him. Now Your Honor, would not the city be much better off if the same could be said of all its taxpayers, and would not those who do not dodge their taxes have much less to pay? In other words would not the tax rates be much lower? I hold that the oft repeated slander that the white citizens of this city; pay all or nearly all of the taxes, is entirely contrary to facts, for a large number of colored people own their houses, live in them, and therefore pay taxes on them. But the colored people who rent, not only pay the taxes on the houses they live in, but pay the ground rent, water rent, insurance, repairs and all other expenses, because the owner charges enough to cover them all, and then leave something to bank, or in other words, something to live on, for when the property ceases to do this, he gets rid of it. However, this is not only true of the colored, but the white renters as well, and if the colored are not taxpayers because they are mostly renters, so the slander "no taxpayers" applies to whites also, and becomes a rebounding ball, which flies back and strikes him in the face who throws it at another, for every white man in business, who does not own the property in which he transacts business, is not a taxpayer, according to that reasoning. But there is another side to this question, and that is there are thousands of rich whites who do not pay their full amount of taxes, by means of dodging them, and another class of the rich—the owners of groundrents—who pay absolutely no taxes on the groundrents they own Your Honor will remember I asked if there could not be a rearrangement of the tax department so that colored taxpayers could be listed in some manner to designate the colored from the whites, and so enable the department to compute the taxes separately. Your Honor stated that you did not see how it could be done. Now she allow me to say that the way to do it is perfectly plain, for the same method used in taking the census can be used to find colored taxpayers in the city, and the same will apply to the entire state. Another convenient method is, having found out who are colored tax payers, (since all are on the books in the City Hall) the clerks would only have to place a star (as is done in the City Directory) opposite the name of every colored owner of taxable property. This method would neither require an enlarged clerkship, nor an extra set of books, for as soon as he came to a star he would only have to stop to compute the amount of taxes. The questions here raised. Your Honor will observe, are at once economical, political, civil and racial; for their concern our political, and race interests and rights. Therefore, Your Honor can see the reasonableness of our deep anxiety and contention in this matter. In a close and exciting contest, Howard University downed the eleven of Union University on the latter's oval last Saturday. The score, 16-6 is a good indication of the closeness of play, and it was only the goal kicking superiority of Howard that gained for them the advantage. Union played an unusually strong and heady game throut. Both Howard and Hampton have close score victories over Union, and it will no doubt be an even matched pair of eleven that will battle for the championship on he Howard campus Thanksgiving day. The Y. M. C. A. Basketball team of Easton, Md, would like to arrange games with any team in or out of the State. Write to J. A Walker, 221 Talbot Lane, Easton, Md, Manager. The P. A. L. and the officials of Bethel A. M. E. Church seem to be deadlocked over the renting of the chapel of the church for athletic purposes this year. Here's hoping they will soon come to a satisfactory understanding and arrangements can be made for some good basketball games this season. We just had time enough last year to get a "taste" but we want a whole mouthfull this season. Undoubtedly, the most prominent and outstanding feature in the football games of last Saturday was the wonderful performance of Fritz Pollard, the star half-back of the Brown University eleven in the game between that team and the one representing Yale. Pollard's performance during the game was little short of marvelous and his work was the praise of sporting critics throughout the country. He was the one bright star of the entire football firmament, for that day at least. His playing contributed largely to the defeat of one of the three biggest teams in the country and when in the third period with Yale leading by three points he caught a punt from the toe of a Yale beck and by a series of criss-cross runs and dodges eluded the entire pack of Yale players and run 60 yards for a touchdown, he brought the entire crowd of 30,000 rooters to their foot in a spell of wonder and admiration. We do not tout ourselves as the best and most reliable prognosticator that ever made a prophecy, but we were not far wrong when we said in our last issue that it was hardly probable that the Brown team would have made the showing it did had it not been for the startling performances of Pollard. The following clippings serve to emphasize what we have already said of Pollard's playing and at the same time give the reader, an idea how his performance was judge by the sporting writers of the big dailies. "Pollard, the colored right half-back of the Brown team, was the lion of the day. His work in the last half of the game stamped him as one of the best backs of the year. Pollard was not unknown when, he appeared this afternoon, for last year, his sensational runs proved, the feature of the game in which Yale was shut out 3 to 0. The Yale forwards watched him like so many cats today and pounced on him whenever they had a chance, but he was as elusive as a greased eel and frequently slipped through the clutches of the would-be Ell tacklers for long runs: His great run after he aunted a qunt on his own forty yard line in the final quarter, for a touchdown, was the most brilliant play of the day and incidentally his dash of sixty yards was one of the most sensational ever seen in the bowl. Pollard trickled through the entire Yale team, worming out of the grasp of practically, everybody on the eleven, and crossing; the goal line for as nice a touchdown as any lover of football would like to see. He could not get a start, in the first two quarters, but, in the third he opened the way for brilliant things for Brown. His run, to the three yard line, around Yale's right end, was followed by Yale holding for downs, but Pollard again put, the Brown team in striking distance from the last Yale chalk line, by a run, after catching a pass and this time the men from Providence were not to be denied." —Philadelphia Inquirer: --- "Individually, Fritz Pollard, a lilith dusky, six foot half-back, displayed the cleverest all around back field success, attained on Yale field this season. In end running, forward passing in executing a bewildering criss-cross and delayed pass run, which was Brown's trump card, in running back punts, in side-stepping and dodging Yale tacklers in a broken field; Pollard gave a peerless performance. His head fine exhibition brought the crowd of 25,000 spectators up with a roar in the opening minutes; of the final playing period. "Catching a punt hoisted aloft to midfield by the toe of Harry Legore, Pollard dexteriously threw off the Yale ends, started towards the right, drawing the entire pack of Yale tackles in that direction, then using a puzzling side-step, switched to the left, where he outstripped evading Yale pursuer in a desperate sprint for the Yale goal line, sailing across for the second touchdown for the visitors. This heart-breaking performance nailed the lid down on Yale's hopes, and the Els were never dangerous afterwards." --- By a close score of 8 to 7, the football team of Armstrong Manual Training School of Washington defeated the Annapolis, A. C. on the latter's home grounds last Friday afternoon. This is the first defeat in the history of the Annapolis boys and was a bitter pill for their followers to swallow. The Washington team showed the effects of good training and coaching and their complex formations at times bewildered the boys from the Capitol of Maryland. --- The Morgan College team will lime up against the strong eleven from Storer College at Oriole Park this afternoon in what promises to be a corking good game. Since their last game the local team has been put through a rigid grilling that should enable them to make a strong showing against the huskies from West Virginia. At any rate it will be a game well worth paying 25 cents to see and we should patronize it from a standpoint of home pride if no other. Howard and Hampton will play their annual football game on the former's campus, Thanksgiving day and all indications point to a record breaking crowd being present to see this meeting of the two strongest colored teams in the East. Howard's team this year is a vast improvement over last year's eleven and will endeavor to retrieve its defeat at the hands of the Southern champions last year. Hampton has as yet been undefeated. --- School No. 113 and School 115 will line up for a preliminary game Saturday at 2.30 o'clock at Oriole Park prior to the Morgan-Storer contest. The pupils of the two games are enthusiastically preparing to root for their respective teams to win.

Richmond, Va., and now Tam’ away from that point and will be away for a little while to come. T am now in this place and’ before you ‘ean see this letter I will be in another part of the world. Strange things have happened and they will continue to happen. T have something to tell you about Birmingham, as I promised I would, put-let me tell you something about what is going on here, and how I teft Richmond. You recall when me and General Grant were around Richmond ow much attention we attracted and ye attracted it because of our mission. They were out to see me on my re- turn to the city. I was the guest of Rev. E. M. Davis and enjoyed it very jmuch, I got back there from the of- fice about one o'clock Sunday morning and immediately read my Bible and went to-bed. I had to read the Bible Decause I was booked to preach sev- eral times Sunday and wanted te pre- pare for it. Bright-and early Sunday morning Twas up and on the street, looking at the people going to Sunday School. 1 went to the Fifth Street Sunday School and spied R. C. Mitchell, the nephew to Editor Mitchell, who insisted that 'should have something to say _be- fore 1 left, and I was willing to have that say. I walked to the litle chil- dren and then went over to the Third Stret African Methodist Episcopal Church where I was booked to preach at 11 o'clock. A large crowd greeted me and heard what I had to say. ‘Then. followed the meeting in the afternoon at which time I had to preach a sermon at the sume church to men only. I talked to those pres- ent, about 300. Prof. J. H. McGrew, secretary of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association for the whole State of Virginia, was there, and was called from there-last spring to his present position. He carried me around to the meeting of the Association and there J made a few remarks. I visited his home, He occupies the top floor of the home of the late D. Webster Davis From there I went to Ebenezer Bap- tist Church, one of the finest in Vir- ginia, and they have a fine man there, Rev. W. H. Stokes, a college graduate and a pastor, His wife is one of the active workers in affairs of the State and country and perhaps one of the best. known women. I almost trem- bled in my boots when I was present- ed to that fine audience in that fine pulpit, but I commanded my legs to pe still and let me tore the Word. I got through and the people were loud in their praise. I am told that they raised in that ‘church on that day over one thousand dollars, I had the pleasure of meeting John Mitchell, Jv: and going to the Me- ~ chanics Bank, of which he is the pres- ident, and which has given him such good standing among the people of the United States, It is indeed a fine institution. I also visited his office, the Planet. It.is a busy. place, He has almost outgrown his present quar- ters I also visited the Union University. had the pleasure of meeting President ‘Hovey. He is indeed a courteous pres- Jdent and made me perfectly at home aind had me say a few words to the students, The school is much crowd- ed.and men are seeking to get hold of the best possible education. “They “are doing fine work there, Plenty persimmons on this place and I got me a basket of them. ‘Then to Richmond again where I got myself together and left in company with many, for this place Here hes “been' the meeting place of the Negro Organization Society, a unique organl- zation solely to help our people. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of. ‘Tuske- gee Institute, brought this into life a Iittle over four years ago. He has al- ‘ways been its. president, but he. will ‘have to retire now. They have made ‘hhim the honorary president while Ma- jor Washington is the real president ‘The Negro Organization Society i composed of all the -organ{zations, of the State, religious and othzrwise,then of individuals who want tu do some- - thing to. help-the other fellow. . Here I met some great men of both races Tt is a place where the white: people think they can help our people with. out being embarrased. They preact the doctrine of better “homes, better schools and better health. Allo ‘these things are essential and can be ‘approved of by all men. There wer _| some big white men who attended th {meeting and Miss Agnes Randolph ‘executive secretary of the Virginie ‘Tuberculosis Society. is a member 0} the executive board. . ‘The meetings were held in the Firs -Baptist Church of which the Rev.

They were ready to sell out and leave their winter homes. 1 wished you could nave seen them white people get busy in Miami, for that would destroy the town. They decided that Negro chauffeurs would be considered tourists and as such would be permitted to drive a car in the city, but the Miami Negroes would not be permitted to do so. It was against the code of the city for a Negro to have such distinction, for it was a job for a white man. But coming back to it. There were some fine cars in line believe me, and of course the Negro had his car right in line also. They own a few in this place. We are arising, and then little by litle we are getting up there We went out to the Bellgrove farm, where dinner was served to all by Mr. and Mrs. N. J, Oliver and their daughters. It was one fine affair. ‘They must have killed fifty chickens, saying nothing about the other good things served. That man is in good shape, and well prepared ‘to do busi- ness. I saw his home, the farm and many other good things that T will not have time to mention this time. Returned to the city, found the things in shape for the big meeting Friday night. It was a source of pleasure to be in company with all them big men and women, I shook hands with Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, and I think that I will not wash my hand for a year, because it has been in the hands of a woman president of a bank. She is just as friendly as can be, and does not object to being one of us, She js not ashamed of her race. ‘Then I met Mrs. Harris Barrett an- other great woman, and I have told you about Mrs. Stokes. | While in the city I was the guest of Rev. E. E. Ricks, and his wife. That man is doing some work in Roanoke. He is pastor of the First Baptist Church. I will have to talk about him in another letter. COOKSYVILIE HAPPENINGS }_Cooksville, Md.

A. was quietly married to Miss Lillian Berry. Monday evening. November 13th. Ben P. W. Worham performed the ceremony at the parsonage. The funeral of the late and beloved sister, Mary E. Wetman, of Atlantic City, aged 75 years, was held last Sunday afternoon in the new Ashbury M. E. Church, Atlantic City, Dr. A. L. Martin, of which she had been a loyal and faithful member for many years. The church, which holds upwards of 100% was crowded from pulpit to door to see the last of this dear, and highly respected woman. The pulpit platform was crowded with ministers. The floral tributes were mowed and of quality and beauty. The bereaved family had many to join them with sorrowing hearts and streaming eyes, for Sister Waters had not only been a sweet and loving mother to her sorrowing children who mealted lovingly about her beautiful basket, beet with flowers and heavenly rays, but to every one who really knew her, seemingly, in her soul life. Only part of the family having been perched by telegram, her remains were placed tenderly in a vault at Pleasantville, N. J., to await the arrival of the entire family for further action. The family deserve great praise for the way in which they laid their mother to rest. Sister Waters departed this life on Wednesday, November 16th about 10 a.m., only after a short attack of acute indigestion. A good woman has fallen. She had been a devoted Christian over 40 years. She is survived by the following children: Mrs. Mary H. Berry, Misses Lucy, Edith B., and Lottie L. Waters, and Meres. Edward W., John E., Zachariah B., Ira T., Samuel W., and Charles D. Waters.
