PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFFAIR AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER --- TO CUT DOWN THE SOUTH'S PRESTIGE Senator Penrose Complains Of Unlawful Advantage South Gains By Disfranchis- WILL INTRODUCE BIEL In Congress Looking Toward The Correction of Such Unsavory Conditions Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.—With the Democrats threatening to investigate the expenditures of monies by the Republicans in the last election, there is a probability of what they will be pleased to call the "Waving of the Bloody Shirt." If Senator Penrose has his way. That the Southern vote as new cast has from three to four-fold as much power as that cast in the Northern and Western parts of the country has awakened no little interest among Republicans who have been the chief sufferers. Senator Reed, of Missouri, has already intimated that he will introduce a bill to investigate the election of James E. Watton, of Indiana, and also a bill will be introduced inaugurating a Corrupt Practice act, all of which is aimed at the Republicans. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, will introduce as a rider, a bill reviving the Federal supervision of elections, as a means to compel the Southern states to recognize the Negro vote. Some of the Southern senators are of the opinion that Senator Penrose is bluffing, but the Senator says he was never more earnest in his life. In an interview, Senator Penrose said he had gone carefully over the situation and had come to the conclusion, as he had many years ago, when he fought for the abolition of the City Hall Building Commission, in Philadelphia, that it was time the laws should be enforced or repealed. "As long as the Negroes of the South are not given the right to vote, I think Congress should enact legislation to enforce the law," said Senator Penrose. "I am much encouraged in what I purpose to do, as nearly every Republican who has talked with me today said that it was a duty the Republicans owed the country to see that the election laws the upheld. I shall offer my bill tomorrow as an amendment to Senator Owen's corrupt practice. In brief, it will re-establish the machinery for Federal supervision and will be almost an exact copy of the bill offered by Mr. Lodge in 1890. "The present system is wholly disadvantageous to such states as Pennsylvania. In 1912, for instance, Pennsylvania cast 1,115,000 votes in round figures, and yet that state had but thirty-eight votes in the electoral college. Roundly, South Carolina cast about 50,000 votes and had nine votes in the electoral college. In other words, while South Carolina cast but one-twentieth of the votes cast in Pennsylvania, the former state had nearly one-fourth as many votes in the electoral college. To put it in another way, Pennsylvania cast twenty times as many votes as South Carolina, but had only four times as many votes in the electoral college. The solid South cast approximately 3,000,000 votes in 1912, and yet had 143 votes in the electoral college. Thus the South had about one-fourth of the electoral college votes and cast only one-fifth of the popular votes. These inequalities should be eradicated. At a time when we are electing in the United States Senators and other officials by the direct vote of the people, we should not have the President so far removed from the people. No batter time could be found for a discussion of this kind in the Senate. There is no election approaching, and the matter would be discussed as impartially as possible. It is not right that Southern states cast such small votes should have such large representation in the electoral college. The whole subject should be opened up and discussed frankly and fairly in the light of what is best for the country. Even the bills I introduced may not be passed." Democratic Senators intimated that they saw in the threat of Mr. Penrose to revive the "force bill" a move to prevent an investigation of the expenses of Republicans in the last election, as well as to stop the Democrats from going into the recent election in Indiana by a threat to purge the elections in the solid South. CHIEF SAM BACK AGAIN New York, Dec. 6. — The dilapidated Steamer Liberia arrived here yesterday in tow of the steamer Zeelandia, from Ahambe, in the miasmatic rivers of the West coast of Africa. Thus she inglobiously ended a remarkable cruise conceived by Chief Sam, the Negro leader, two years ago, to aid his copers in establishing a new government on their ancestral shores. Citizens Protest Against Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 7. —The wholesale arrests of colored men to the number of upwards of two hundred, as a drag net to capture two colored men supposed to have murdered a white merchant of the colored district, was the cause of a mass meeting held here Sunday in the Ebenecer Baptist Church, Wylie avenue and Devilliers street. A resolution protesting against the action of the Centre avenue police last Tuesday night, in arresting more than 200 Negroes in a general raid following the murder of Israel Safir, a Webster avenue merchant, was unanimously adopted. Among them was the following: "We appeal to the fair-minded and law-respecting white people of this community to help us create such a public sentiment against this infamy that will cause the despot or despots who issue these orders to hesitate and reflect upon the probability of incurring the wrath of the outraged citizens of this vicinity, both colored and white, before they issue such another order against a long suffering people. "A blow of this kind has never been struck at any other race of people in this community so far as we know and we do know that there are some people who are less law-abiding and who give more trouble to the police than members of our race. A fund of $300 was required to carry on the work, but not all of the fund was realized' at the Sunday meeting. The public will be called on later to supply the deficiency. Urges Construction Of Tenement Houses New York, Dec. 7.—The local committee of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has been studying the problem of Negro housing and living conditions here, especially the conditions affecting a large part of the Negro colony in Harlem, recommended in a report yesterday that the worst features of present conditions there could be met only by construction of modern and model tenements. As a start in this work the committee announced that the first of the proposed buildings would be erected on eight city lots, according to plans of the City and Suburban Homes Company, to cost $325,000, including the land. It is intended to be a practical and profitable investment, as well as an experiment in sociology. The living and sanitary and moral conditions found under present conditions of housing, the committee says, are due principally to crowding in one apartment or house, and to higher rents. SCREEN STAR IN BIG SHOW Noble Johnson, America's premier Afro-American screen star is playing second mule lead to Ruth Stonehouse in the great Universal 5-reel Red Feather released on December 4th. Mr. Johnson, other recent Universal appearances are in "Who Pulled the Trigger," "The Lady from the Sea" playing opposite Claire McDowell, and "The Caravan." He also appeared in Griffith's great "Intolerance." SECRETARY HUNTON BURIED Now York, Dec. 4.—William A. Hunten, senior secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A. was buried from his late residence, 575 Greene avenue, Saturday. He had been ill for nearly three years. Mr. Hunten had not been inactive all that time but it was about that time he was stricken with his fatal illness. Born in Chatham, Canada, 51 years ago, October 31, 1965, he commenced his work in the Y. M. C. A., as secretary in 1888 and received the appointment as International secretary for work among the colored people in 1891. Since that time he has traveled over a great part of the world in the interest of his work. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Adda Hunton, two children, two brothers and two sisters. Mr. Hunten came to Baltimore a number of years ago, and established the present Y. M. C. A., at that time meeting in the building on Biddle St., now occupied by the Catholic Sisters. DOG FANCIER'S IRE RAISED Now She Offers Fashionable Residence For Sale San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 4. —Because of a law recently passed in Burlingame, a suburb of this city, Miss Alice Hagar, society leader and dog fancier de laze, has offered her mansion of sale. In making her offer, through a newspaper advertisement, she agrees to sell for a specially low price, to any "Chinese, Japanese or Negro." Before the anti-dog ordinance passed Miss Hagar maintained a large kennell of Scotch terriers and other thorough breeds. An anti-dog ordinance followed reduced her kennell to six dogs; another ordinance followed reducing the number to two. A number of persons affected by the ordinance waited upon the town trustees and asked that the ordinance be resided. The trustees refused and the result Miss Hagar offered her property for sale. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1916 BISHOL CAMPHOR PLEADS FOR AFRICA In Address Before Mission Board He Asks For Fairer Treatment For Africa And Its People FLAYS SAXONS' GREED Declares Country Has Too Long Been Victim of The White Man's Avarice Watertown, N. Y. Dec. 5.—At the Thursday evening meeting of the missionary evangelical campaign, by the Broadax Forum Mission, at Ashbury M. E. Church. The prominent feature was an address by Bishop Alexander Camphor, of Liberia, Africa. Among the things the Bishop said: "It is difficult for one race fully to appreciate the struggles of another," he said. "Many persons, and I have found a number in this country, have a tendency to discourage the idea of the NEGRO NATIONAL AMBITION to be what others have been. The Anglo-Saxon has been the TEACHER OF THE NEGRO, but he sometimes forgets that the inspiration has come from him. The teacher should remember that the Negro is just as anxious as is the teacher or the COLOR-EDRACE to ring from the world the acknowledgement that the African is capable of governing himself. It is the Negro's wish to ESTABLISH A NEGRO MOVEMENT. "No race can lift itself. It can help but it must receive inspiration. Liberia offers large opportunities to the Negroes of Africa, and those in this country as well, in the fight to gain the acknowledgement of the African's capabilities. "The Anglo-Saxon, by his intelligence, his perseverance and his ability to achieve under adverse circumstances, has aided by his example in the establishment of the Negro republic, Liberia. There are 43,000 square miles in that little country, which God has favored with mild weather conditions and high altitude. The traveler would notice a difference immediately if journeying down the coast, he came upon the coast of Liberia. The country is distinctly better than the country round about. "Within the bounds of Liberia are Africans of the higher class. Men and women too, strong as horses. They are as black as can be, and are not ashamed of their color." "The Christian church cannot be true to her cause while she leaves the poor, ignorant, unsophisticated African to work out his own salvation," said Bishop Campher: "Too long have exploitation and graft held the African in bondage, even today is that wretched work going on. "Greater than the gold of Africa, are the men and women, the people who shall demonstrate to the world the power and abilities of the African. Where can one find a race which has suffered greater hardships, has been longer held in bondage, has had less aid in establishing itself, than the African? Yet they are the most cheerful, the most patient, the most meek and the most humble of all the world's races. "To save the African will be a victory to humanity which the light of the world has never known before." The bishop here told of a legend that one of the tribe kings had offered as the cause of the African having a black skin. He said that the Master, in the effort to make a perfect being, had modeled the figure and then placed it in the oven to bake. After a certain period had elapsed, taking the figure from the oven. He found the result to be the Caucasian race representative, and regarded him as being somewhat underdone. Another trial with a ten times hotter oven resulted in a still unsatisfactory result, but darker in color, the Mongolian race representative. "The last attempt with a ten times longer bake and a ten times hotter oven produced the African, and this the Maker regarded as His ideal. "I don't know how that strikes you," said the bishop, "but it strikes me very well. It's a poor dog that doesn't wag his own tall." The speaker declared that the inhabitants of Liberia were rarely ill, and a toothache was undeared of. He said they were powerful of build and able to bear heavy burdens, cliting, running and strength test feats that they had performed with ease. He was enthusiastic as to their hospitality, declaring that a guest might remain with his host for months, without the hint of a board bill, such a thing quite unknown in that country. Bishop Camphor is over six feet tall, well built, with a mild, yet penetrating voice. He has no race inflection in his voice and his English is faultless, with perfect enunciation and employment of the correct phrases. Bishop and Mrs. Camphor will sail for Liberia, Africa, in a week or ten days, after having toured the Southern part of the United States. Detective Williams, Alias "Santa Claus" Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 7—Few people ever give a police detective credit for being anything else than a man hunter. He is supposed to have about as little sentiment in him as there is in the fox hound when he scents his game, and yet there is right here, in this great big city a colored detective attached to the Police Department, who is known as the only real, live colored Santa Clause in this city. For the past five years George Williams, who is a detective, has been appealing for old cast-off clothing, toys and money for the youngesters who wouldn't otherwise have any Christmas. Last year hundreds of citizens attracted by the appeal, sent him the old broken toys that their own children didn't use and the discarded underwear which their own kiddies had outgrown. Williams got busy on the toys with paste pot and brush, and when he got through tinkering, repairing and painting them, even old Kris Kringle, who turns out bright new toys by the thousand at this time of the year, thought they were just out of his huge toy chest. This year Williams says if he obtains the support of the citizens who read this story, he will have erected a huge Christmas tree in the headquarters, the like of which has never been seen before. He has it all planned out. "A hundred little electric lights will peep out from behind the branches and every twig and limb will hold presents for the kids of the neighborhood, black and white. Perhaps a doll for girls and a toy express wagon for the boys." Colored Men As Office "Boys" In New York New York, Dec. 6.—A practically new occupation has been opened here for colored men who have passed what has usually been termed the age of usefulness. Unable to get youngsters to act as office boys as formerly, many of whom have dropped out of the offices and gone back to school, many firms, especially in the large office buildings have turned to colored and white men who have been practically thrown into the discard. Representatives of these concerns declare that they would not return to former conditions if the market was crowded with office boys seeking work. Said one: "I find that colored men are more polite, willing and serious than are the majority of young boys today," declared one employer. "The colored men realize that they are occupying minor positions and stay in their places. Yes, I have to pay them more but the results prove that the extra expenditure is well worth while. Visitors have commented on the able manner in which their wants have been looked after by my colored help." An employer who has several aged men working for him said he was satisfied with their services. No longer bothered with boys who do not take to business seriously; by lads who shirk their work, by youngsters who are not reliable. This man had six office boys whom he paid $7 a week each. He has now three men, each getting twelve dollars per week, who accomplish the same amount of work in less time. TO ANNOUNGE SITE Location of NEW C. A. to be Told Sunday For months Baltimore has been patiently waiting for the announcement of the site of the new Y. M. C. A. Building, as a matter of fact there has been those among us who did not believe there was any intention of putting up a new building at all and did not hesitate to say so. Secretary Booker has been on the job every minute, and on Sunday afternoon at Grace Presbyterian Church he will have the pleasure of announcing the new site and probably the beginning of the work on the new building. Now let everybody will be interested come out and hear all about it. A number of prominent speakers will address the meeting and the Alphian Glee Club will furnish several musical selections. Both men and women will be admitted. Indianapolis Y. W. C. A. Make Whirlwind Campaign Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 1.—Nearly nine hundred new members are the result of the twenty-day campaign of the Colored Women's Provisional Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. It is the plan to continue until 1000 members have been added to the association, which it hoped will be before the first of the new year. Two years ago the provisional branch was organized with the agreement that it should become a permanent branch when the membership reached 80. This has been accomplished and the Central Y. M. C. A. will organize the provisional into a permanent branch of the Association. Mrs. Frances Berry Coston, is the chairman of the membership commit- TEACHERS CLOSE ANNUAL SESSION Tri-County Institute Of Colored Teachers Have Most Successful Session At Princess Anne 116 TEACHERS PRESENT Princess Anne, Md., Dec. 6—The second annual session of the Tri-County Institute of the colored teachers of Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties, was held at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, this city, November 7th, 28th and 29th. The meeting proved to be a very successful one, the registration showing that only two of the 118 teachers were absent, and both of them on account of sickness. The afternoon session of the first day was devoted to addresses from the superintendents and members of the Board of Education. Superintendent W. J. Holloway of Wicomico, spoke of the new educational laws of Maryland, the creating of public sentiment thru school clubs and organizations, the professional qualifications of teachers, and of the teachers place in the community. He also outlined the work of superintendents, supervisors and teachers. Mr. William H. Dashiell, superintendent of Somerset county, gave an excellent address on the value and necessity of punctuality. E. W. McMaster, read a very helpful paper from the subject "The Beauty of the House is Order and Cheerfulness." His references were to the school house. Mr. Long, president of the Board of Education of Somerset county, spoke on "Education, its value and fitness to live" also of the work and opportunity of the teacher. Dr. G. T. Atkinson, a member of the Board, also spoke Rev. Gibbons, of the M. B. Church, white, was introduced and said that the place occupied by the teacher was unique, intellectually, morally and socially. His address was very helpful. The welcome address was given on Monday evening by Prof. Theos H. Klah, principal of Princess Anne Academy and was responded to by Miss Georgia E. Reid, of Worcester county, Miss Edna E. Thomas, of Somerset, and Mrs. Leslie Wright of Worcester. Hon. W. E. Miller, of Salisbury, was introduced and spoke of the value of educating the Negro, the possibilities, colored teachers. opportunities and responsibilities of "The Care of our Bodies" and "Home and School Sanitation" were J. Barchay. Miss Elizabeth Woodcock, of Sullyshire read an essay on "Music for Elementary Schools". Dr. M. Erick Stephen, State Superintendent of Education outlined the new law and its effect upon teachers' certificates and school attendance. He spoke of the cooperation of the church and school as the pioneers of civilization in America. He also spoke of the Boys Corn Clubs and said it should be encouraged among the colored boys. Dr. Stephen urged that the minister in every church in the State should preach a sermon and have a program in interest of public schools, Sunday before Labor Day, 1917, and community singing to stimulate the public for music, and visits by the pastor to the school especially on holidays. Miss Ida A. Tortellott, of Hampton Institute, spoke on the teacher and the community from two sides viz: the attitude toward the community and the attitude of the community and the dependance of the growth of the community upon the influence of the teacher. She urged the people to properly clothe and feed their children that they might be properly taught; the teachers to teach their pupils instead of teaching books and many of the young women to change their attitude toward the young men. Miss Tortellott was asked to speak again on Wednesday evening and she kindly consented to do so. Her subject was "The Mental Health of the Teacher." Mr. Walker, supervision of Talbot county, and Rev. J. U. King made short addresses. The teachers gave a concert Tuesday evening for the benefit of the church at which time an excellent program was rendered. A visit of inspection was made to Princess Anne Academy. The next annual meeting will be held in Pocosco City. Supervisor H. S. Wilson, of Somerset county, presided on Monday evening; Supervisor S. H. Long, of Worcester, presided on Tuesday, and Supervisor P. E. Gordy, of Wicomico, presided on Wednesday.

SOLVING THE CHRISTMAS GIFT PROBLEM ee Re en ew Ee a and all descriptions, mostly made out Jot ereton and old fashioned red ban- danna handkerchiefs one she hed made from three handkerchiefs sewed together three cornered, with an embroidery hoop in the top to hold it open and a piece of card board cut round 10 fit the hoop and covered with @ piece of plain, red then sewed to the hoop at one place about two inches -- it had a Joop on the opposite side from ‘where it joined the hoop-a@ button was sewed to the hoop and the loop fastened over the button. The bottom | was gathered together closely and had a ball attached in the center of the! gathers made from a ball of cotton covered with # piece of the red 10 match the top. It contained a bundle each of linen,-stripes-and soft old rags -spotlessly clean. And one dozen ‘hemmed dust cloths - and a big bundle of od@ sizes of old white rags all in one bundle - some of all kinds of white goods. Jt was for a bride of only a few months. 1 asked “what was her idea in putting all those sort of things’ in a bag.” | “Because,” she said. “very few young married people ever have a rag of any kind for any purpose. Every- thing a5 a rule is brand new and such a thing as a rag has never crossed their minds. They are very handy in case of 2 cut or @ sore of any kind. Then ugain you need a litte piece of white rag for so many other things.” J thought the idea excelient and I'm sure you think so also. How many of bs have wanted just the smallest pie@ of white rag at times and have torn vp our bureau drawer and ransacked cup- boards and hunted the house over only to find we didn't have just what we wanted. j Another tble at which sat the hostess contained the remainder of the club's Xmas gifts-the hostess was making aprons of all kinds the dainti- est of aprons for milady at the tea rable-for the chafing dish lady-the sewing laéy and most important of all, the cover-all apron for the lady who must do her own house work and be ready for company at @ mo- ments notice; then there was the big gingham .apron for the woman who inust. cgi: aprons, APRONS!, oh, my the aprons. | Then the table contained book cov- ers, hair receivers, safty pin holders, twine holders, containing “balls of ‘uwine, and slippers end mules, and ‘gressed dolls end even two pairs of ‘hand-knit stockings for some little “yoy who just would stay out of doors in all kinds of weather. | Those women had kept their eves lopen and never @ time did they shop ‘chat they didn't pick up a little piece tof Jace or silk or an odd spool of ‘ithread, some odds and ends that twould help them out-that would only ‘eost a few cents, And such an array of dainty presents, some had as high tas iwelve and fifteen presents and nc woman there had spent “the limi lthey had allowed for each one t¢ i spend-85.00 | How many of us spend over that much two or three times and ther ‘lgive someone @ useless present. 1 Who among my readers that woul not appreciate a home-made gift s [seta I do not think it is the gift ,|sy much as the giver, and the spiri jiin which it is given that we shoul _{appreciate. .

You see things are so very high and a dollar present is such @ cheap affair that I'm just worried out until Xsnas' comes.” ‘Then another litle mother, seid “Indeed I’m not giving any one gifts this year, becaus 1 can't afford it, things are too high.” {could go on and on telling you of the excuses I've heard about Xmas gifts until 1 wouldn't have space to tell you how one set of women solved the problem. . . There was only eight of them that belonged to the Mothers’ Embroidery Club. They had always used the Tuesday evening they met to make something pretty 10 a@ to the table jinen or to embroidery a little collar for baby’s coat or a yoke for Mary's dress; but in the month of October they decided to hunt thru the maga- zines for. small practicable gifts 10 make for Xmas presents and take the “work to the club meeting and after ‘the regular lines of business, which they agreed to make as short. as’ pos- sible devote the rest of the evening to ‘work. They first made a list of the people they Were going to make gifts for, then what they thought would be the most practical thing they could qnake and give that would be appreci- ated. ‘They shared their fund of ideas with each other and the work 1 viewed Jast Tuesday evening would make an anbeliever open their exes. ‘One Women had made a set of Ave of the prettiest Ite opera bugs you ever saw.

She bought silkateen the color of ribbon as near as she could get it and crovched a top around the ribbon as deep as the rib- bon was wide then across the bottom she crotched three points on some -- some had four and some straight eroiched edge uccording to length of dag and attached tassels to some points and crovched balls to others. Then crotched a string to run thru the ag about an inch und « half from the top and attached tassels to each side and they were lovely. She was en- gaged in crotching edges on pretty litle white handkerchiefs to mateh each bag and expected to visit the ten cent store for Jittle hand glasses to put in each bag, they were for those of her friends who were fond of at- tending the theatre and had no bag tc carry their opera glasses In. ‘Another of the club had one dozen pair of the daintiest baby cap strings for the babies in her family two yards ‘of fine hawtiste had made the d6zer pair of strings that were pretty and dainty enough to grace any baby's cap.

The first real association I had with Bishop George W. Clinton where an opportunity was offered to study the man and see something of his methods in handling a situation was in the year 1808 when the late Dr. Washington with a party of educators and other prominent gentlemen made a tour of North Carolina. Several of the edu- cational pilgrimages had already been undertaken, and on one or two of them Bishop Clinton had been a guest, but here in North Carolina, together with Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, Bishop Clinton had charge of the tour, and in no other State before or since that time, were the arrangements more satisfactory to all concerned. I had often met Bishop Clinton at Tuskegee where he lectured before the students, and since that time I have been with him at one or two conferences of his church and at the meeting of the Bishops. It was on this occasion, however, that I noted how very careful he was to grasp every detail, to be perfectly familiar with everything that would be likely to confront the managers during the week and to see to it that the comfort of the guests were enhanced at every stage. There were no hitches about money matters; no long and tiresome waits at junction points, and every minute in the various towns was utilized that the people might have a chance to see and hear their leader and that Dr. Washington might have opportunity to give his message to those who wanted to hear. I had known all along that Bishop Clinton was a very forceful and energetic character, but the way our men, as a rule, fly off on a tangent when they have large propositions or unusual situations to handle little prepared me for the machine-like precision with which things moved on this trip. I soon saw the reason. Bishop Clinton, an eminent churchman, who was used to handling men and people, combined forces with that hustling young business man, Charles Saunding. Throughout life, when one comes to think of it, that has been the secret of Bishop Clinton's success. He has always been quick to see an opportunity, quicker to grasp its significance and to ferret out the best way to handle it, and he has not hesitated to use all the forces at his command to bring the situation to rights. Result: he was elected to the bishopric at the age of 36—perhaps the youngest prelate among all the churches. Even before that, however, he had commanded attention because of services rendered in the school room and in various organizations engaged in matters pertaining to race uplift and advancement. It is not surprising, then, that a man with such training and activity, especially one who had heard the Divine call or caught the heavenly vision and followed the same obedience, should attain to a foremost place, even the highest office in the Church of his choice and a foremost place among the leaders of the race. George W. Clinton's rise in the A. M. E. Zion Church has been the result of no favoritism. He was born of slave parents and left without a father at the age of two years. Bishop Clinton's reward has only been the opportunity to serve and as I know him, that I believe is all he has been looking for. Bishop Clinton is but four years older than the Negro race in America, having been born in 1859. He was, therefore, a little while a slave, and his success and progress has in a large degree, been indicative of the progress of the race. With much of the latter he has had to do in a tangible way. Forging his way with his own efforts, he has a record of constructive work in the Church, that great bulwark of Negro activities, and besides is a very influential man in the counsels of the race. These stories have but little to do with dry statistics, but there are facts in connection with his young life that are indeed very romantic. He was a victim of the antics of reconstruction, and had to give up his studies in the University of South Carolina when the Republican Negro regime was overthrown. He kept up his studies, however, spending two years there after in Livingstone College. It is happy for the Negro race that about this time there were many men and women paying their way through school and college and imparting the little they learned as they got it. It was like some old childish game, where the good things were passed from one to the other. Thus young Clinton began to teach while he was sixteen years old, but very much unlike many of our so-called pedagogues of today, he was not satisfied with a cheap certificate and a cheap school and giving indifferent service. He knew that while he knew more than the people h taught, he had but touched the fountain of knowledge. He taught during his summer vacations, and continued to teach for twelve years. During that time he had studied law, held a minor political office and finally entered the ministry. His best record as a minister was made in Pittsburg, where he made remarkable improvements to the church property and in an equally remarkable revival, added considerably to the membership of the church. Bishop Clinton has to his credit in the A. M. E. Zion Church several distinctions. While pastoring at Pittsburgh he founded and edited the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review, which has since become one of the leading church magazines of the race. Two years afterwards he was elected editor of the Star of Zion, the official organ of the church from which place he was elevated to the episcopacy. It was while editor of the Star of Zion that he saw the necessity and conceived the idea of establishing a publication plant at a larger and more central place. He presented his ideas to the Board of Bishops which met as Birmingham in 1893 and they were adopted. From this came the Publishing House of the Zion connection, now domiciled in a handsome brick building in Charlotte, which is one of the best publishing plants owned anywhere by a religious denomination. Bishop Clinton has traveled considerably, in his church work of course, and also abroad. He has been a member of three ecumenical conferences, at Washington in 1891; in London in 1901 and in Montreal in 1911. He was the only Negro member of the arbitration convention held in Washington and presided over by the late John W. Foster, then secretary of the state, and is now a member of the executive committee International Sunday School Association and served there as vice president of the same association. He delivered one of the principal addresses at the San Francisco Convention. It is noteworthy how much our leading men crowd into their busy lives. It is to make one laugh to hear the oft repeated criticism that such men do absolutely nothing but get rich. As a matter of fact but few of them get more than a competence—but if there is anything in the Biblical proverb that a laborer is worthy of his hire, they deserve all they get. Consider all the demands made upon a bishop in the church. Consider the multitudinous mall, the handling of which the church makes no provision; consider how often a bishop has to go into this local charge to settle a difference, to adjust some property matter, how often he is called by some pastor of some local church to help by his presence. Consider all this in Bishop Clinton's case, and then add to this lectures before the Phelps Hall Bible School at Tuskegee: a number of commencement sermons and addresses, besides the actual and active presidency of one of the schools on his diocese for eight years. Atkinson College at Madisonville, Ky., and one will wonder that a man of this kind lives as he does. His work at Madisonville was very noteworthy. During his incumbency thirty-two acres of land were purchased and the school changed from its former campus of only one acre and two small buildings to the new site, where now two large and comodious buildings stand which greatly increase the facilities for the work. Besides all this work Bishop Clinton has found time in a small way to be an author and has to his credit in this line several phamplets, one small book "The Three Alarm Cries" and a 300 page book. "Christianity Under the Searchlight." But few men are greater than their wives. It was in 1901 that Bishop Clinton took Miss Clay from Huntsville, Ala as his wife. They now reside in Charlotte in a lovely home, and Mrs. Clinton has been a strong support to her distinguished husband in every way. She serves as his secretary, and to me, as just as sweet and dear a woman as she used to be in her younger days when she sang so sweetly for us at Normal. No couple have endeared themselves more to the people they serve than Bishop and Mrs. Clinton. It seems to me oftimes that men like Bishop Clinton give themselves too largely to the cause they serve. It is a terrible grip this thing gets on one. Let a man feel that he has an opportunity to serve somewhere, and he will get up at any time in the morning to catch a train, wait around in uncomfortable JimCrow stations for hours at a time without meals, simply to make an engagement. They feel that they are serving. They are, but at what terrible sacrifice of energy and tissue and strength? It is this that takes our men away so early. One cannot criticise who has done the same thing himself, and must be content to hold the result of his case up to his friends as an example. One would like to see men like Bishop Clinton live forever. He is easily one of the most useful and helpful men we have among us today. His influence is felt far and near and he concerns himself with everything that he thinks concern his people. It little boots one to tell the Negro minister or Bishop of the Conference to let politics alone when he sees what the results of such a policy means to the Negro whose only weapon of defense is the ballot. And so, I have seen Bishop Clinton in a presidential year, frankly and earnestly tell his congregation that the best interests of the Negro race and the prosperity of the country depended upon the election of the Republican ticket. He had before him the broken promise of a president to another Bishop in his church, and was not willing to risk another such trial. It is my opinion that in doing this, Bishop Clinton was performing a service to his race quite as valuable as reading appointments or collecting general funds.
