The Afro-American

--- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY Branches, North and South, of Methodist Episcopal Church To meet in this City, December 28. DIVIDED SINCE 1844 Dr. R. E. Jones and I. Garland Penn to Represent Interests of Colored Constituency Asheville, N. C., December 11.—The joint commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will meet in Baltimore, Md., December 28th, to bring about, if possible, the union of these two great branches of Methodism. This merger, discussed pro and con with varied warmth and emotions during the past twenty years has been rendered probable by legislative action of the general conferences of the two churches. Just what effect the union of these churches will have upon the more than 250,000 Negro communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church is problematical and is attracting considerable attention among thoughtful people of the race as the time for the commission meeting approaches. The original one body of Methodists suffered division in 1844 over the fact that a white bishop became involved in slavery by marrying a wife who had one Negro girl named Kitty as a slave. Thus seventy-two years ago the white people of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, parted company, with the Negro as the innocent occasion of the division. Now that the reunion of these two branches of Methodism is imminent, the relation of the Negro to the reunited church is one of the innocent causes involved. Upon the commission representing the Methodist Episcopal Church, are Rev. Robert E. Jones, editor South Western Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La. and Dr. J. Carland Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, Cincinnati, Ohio. Drs. Jones and Penn represent the ministry and laity respectively upon the commission, but beyond that, they are the sole representatives of the 60,000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose fortunes in a large measure are to be effected by the final conclusions of the commission. It is quite the understanding that these distinguished Negro leaders were placed upon the commission in order that the interests of the Negro members would be safeguarded. The assignment is an important and responsible one, for there has been no such historic commission touching the religious and educational life of the nation since emancipation. Holding benefits for the 350,000 Negro members, they stand unique and alone and yet hold their commissions from members who are organically a part of one of the great churches, and who, in theory should not be considered apart from the other members. The members of the commission are: Methodist Episcopal Church—Bishop William Frayer McDowell, Washington. D. C: Earl Cranston, Washington. D. C: Frederick D. Leete, Atlanta, Ga.; John W. Hamilton, Washington. D. C: R. J. Cooke, Helena, Montana. Ministers—Edgar Blake, D. C. Chicago, Ill.; secretary board of Sunday Schools; I. R. Day, D. D.; president Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y.; Darid G. Downey, D. D.; Book Editor, New York City; John F. Goucher, D. D. Baltimore, Md.; Robert E. Jones, editor Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.; A. J. Nest, D. d. editor Der Christliche Apologe, Cincinnati, Ohio; Frank Neff, pastor First Church, Oklahoma, Okla. E. M. Randall, Seattle, Washington, pastor Gilman Park Church. C. B. Spenser, D. D. Kansas City, editor Christian Advocate; J. W. Van Cleve, Chicago, Ill.; executive secretary, commission on finance, Laymen-George Warren Brown, St. Louis, Mo.; shoe manufacturer; C. W. Fairbanks, Indianapolis, Ind., former vice president of the United States; A. W. Harris, New York City, corresponding secretary, Board of Education; C. W. Kline, Jacksonville, Fla., real estate; I. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, cor- responding secretary Freedmen's Aid Society; I. E. Robinson, Charleston, W. Va., ex-Chief Justice Court of Appeals, West Virginia; Henry Wade Rogers, New Haven, Conn., Judge United States District Court; Col. William Pule, Knoxville, Tenn., editor The Knoxville Journal and Tribune; Alexander Simpson, Philadelphia, Pa., lawyer; Rolla V. Watt, San Francisco, Cal., Insurance. Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Bishop A. W. Wilson, Baltimore, Md.; E. E. Hoss, Muskogee, Okla.; Collins Denny, Richmond, Va.; Edwin D. Mouzon, Dallas, Texas; W. A. Candler, Atlanta, Ca. Ministers—Frank M. Thomas, D. D. Pastor Four Avenue Church, Louisville, Ky.; W. J. Young, D. D. Candler School of Theology, Atlanta, Ga.; John M. Moore, D. D., secretary home missions, Nashville, Tenn.; C. M. Bishop, D. D., president Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas; E. B. Chappelle, D. D., editor Sunday School Literature, Nashville, Tenn.; N. I. Nivey, D. D., editor Christian Advocate, Nashville, Tenn.; A. F. Watkins, D. D., president Hillsaps College, Jackson, Miss.; A. F. DuBose, D. D., editor Methodist Review, Nashville, Tenn.; H. N. Alnsworth, D. D., pastor Mulberry Street Church, Ga.; A. J. Lamar, D. D., publishing agent, Nashville, Tenn. Laymen—Judge M. L. Walton, Woodstock, Va.; Dr. H. N. Snyder, Spartanburg, S. C.; president Wofford College; Percy D. Maddin, lawyer, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. R. S. Hyer, president Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas; Dr. R. J. Reynolds, president Hendrix College, Conway, Arkansas; R. E. Blackwell, Ashland, Ya., president Randolph-Macon College; Judge J. L. Kelley, supreme Court of Virginia, Bristol; T. D. Sanford, United States District Attorney, Opelika, Alabama; John R. Pepper, merchant and banker, Memphis, Tenn. Col. E. C. Reeves, lawyer, Johnson City, Tenn. It will be seen that Drs. Jones and Penn are in distinguished company. However momentus the situation confronting them, the affairs of the people they represent are in capable hands. No church in which there are colored people ever recognized the race in such a conspicuous way, but these men are well worth it, and there is no question but that they will measure up to every demand. Dr. Jones is regarded as one of the ablest editors in the church and has been re-elected four quadrinements, having been unanimously chosen at the Saratoga General Conference. Dr. Penn was for seventeen years assistant general secretary of the Epworth Lenge and is now serving his second term of four years as corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. It is safe to say that the interest of the Negro in the Methodist Episcopal Church will be carefully safeguarded by these two distinguished sons of the race and of Methodism. SUES FOR $11,000 $ . Louis, December 14.—John L. Sullivan has sued city and election officials for $11,000 damages on account of his being refused the right to cast a ballot at the recent election. He is one of 99 colored men who were prevented from voting by a Democratic scheme. Other suits will be filed. GETS $10,000 ESTATE Ashbury Park, N. J., December 14—By a ruling of Vice Chancellor Foster, Mrs Mary Hubbert has been given a life interest in the estate of her deceased husband, Lot C. Hubbert, a constable, who died here last February. KING'S BALLY AT SHARP STREET Kings in the regal robes of office, royal secretaries in court attire, maids, guards and a retinue of lesser satellites greeted those who witnessed the closing of the King's Rally at Sharp Street Memorial Church on Thursday night. This is the first kings' rally to be held in the city, and if anything it surpassed any of the queens' rallies yet held, in point of splendor and pyrotechnics. It will be remembered that the first queens' rally held in this city was at Sharp Street over a year ago. The twenty kings were represented by the twenty class leaders of the church and they made an imposing appearance. As a result of the effort and others during thirp past four months, $1,960 was realized. The kings will be given a banquet at the church next Tuesday evening. Two thousand dollars was recently paid on the main debt of the church by the trustees. The rally was conceived and managed by the pastor of the church. Rev. M. J. Naylor. REV. WILLIAMS IN TOWN. Rev. W. Edward Williams, former pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church was a caller at the Afro-American office Thursday. He is now stationed at York, Pa., where he is pastoring a Presbyterian Church. He has also integrated a number of persons in a community house, which is now being fitted up at a cost of $2,000. This will be conducted on the Y. M. C. A. plan for the 2,500 colored people of that city. He visited a number of friends while here. BOILERS BURST AT COLONIAL The boilers in the Colonial Theatre burst Wednesday. No one was injured, as the theatre was closed at the time. The damage has been repaired and the management will open as scheduled next Monday. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916 Prominent Educators Address Teachers from Pennsylvania and Delaware Cheyney, Pa., December 14.—Problems confronting the colored people of Pennsylvania and Delaware were discussed at the recent meeting of the Association of Teachers of the Colored Schools of Delaware and Pennsylvania. The meeting was held at Cheyney Institute, and Prof. Leslie P. Hill, principal of the school, presided. Dr. Jane R. Baker, of West Chester, Miss Beatrice A. Fairall, Lorenzo Morris, of Coatesville; J. R. Paul Brook, of Philadelphia; J. R. Paul Dunhill Nelson, of Wilmington Del., and Dr. Carl Kelsey, of the University of Pennsylvania, were among the speakers. Dr. Kelsey spoke on "The Industrial Workers of the Northern Negro." The speaker began his talk by a brief history of the different races of men in early times and their final alignment as to district, and spoke of the diversity in races represented in this country. The Negro race has not fully utilized its chances. I know but one colored man who owns his own farm. The lure of the city, with its moving picture shows and its street cars is great inducement for leaving the farm. Farm laborers are hard to get. I am a farmer and I know, and farmers are willing to pay almost any price for laborers, and do you suppose they care a rap as to race? The Negro has not seen his chance; is not taking advantage of it. The speaker referred to meeting a man as he was on the way to the meeting who had three students from the Training School in his household during the summer vacation, and who had been much pleased with their work and also spoke very highly of them in other ways, the story being greeted with applause by the students in the audience. How are we going to make our schools effective? How are we going to give training in agriculture to our girls? Agriculture is the great opportunity both North and South. People growl because of turkeys at thirty cents a pound, but if those city people lived on a farm, they'd think it was cheap. Agriculture has got to come through the school. The Negro is handicapped by the unions, by the white men's belief that he is not reliable. He is willing, in case of necessity, to take a gumble on a white man, but is afraid to hire a Negro. There is so far as I know, no race problem that does not apply to all races. You have the chance to show the whites that you have the ability, and what is more, you have reliability, and that you can make good. Do you suppose that a man cares a rap for the color of a man, if he is a good worker? You cannot go any faster than you can take your people with you. Make good, for the most important things in the world for you and for me are the every day things. Your pay is what you make; what you are is the thing. BAPTISTS ELECT OFFICERS The Baptist Union Ministerial Meeting reelected the following officers for the ensuing six months at its meeting Monday: Revs. W. W. Allen, president; G. B. Lockhardt, vice president; A. L. Mayo, treasurer, and A. L. Bailey, secretary MRS. TERRELL LECTURES Biddetford, Me. Dec. 26th. Mrs Mary Church Terrell of Washington, delivered a very interesting address on "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Han" before the City Square Forum Sunday afternoon. She was given rapt attention as she pictured the various episodes through which the race had gone, sketched to progress made and mentioned prejudices encountered. PASTOR WANTS SALARY Columbus, Ga., December 14.—Rev. J. S. Spivey, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has gone into court to compel the trustees to turn over $420.11 back salary. He declares that, the congregation released him last April without the customary 30 days notice, that he was then owed $30.11. He asks $90 additional for losses sustained him then. SOLDIERS MADE HAPPY El Paso, Tex., December 12.—An entertainment was given recently by the Negro Red Cross Society. for the colored troopers confined in the base hospital. After an elaborate musical program, a "comfort bag" was presented each of the 40 patients and fruit distributed. Prof. William Coleman delivered an address on "Our Flag and Manhood." WILL BUILD SOON The campaign to secure the balance of the $25,000 pledged by the colored people of Baltimore for a new Young Men's Christian Association building begin with fresh vigor at an enthusiastic meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church, Sunday afternoon, when Secretary Booker announced the site of the new building. Lots have been purchased at the Northwest corner of Dolphin and McCulloh streets and building operations will begin as soon as plans have been drawn up by the architect. According to Secretary Booker, it is the intention to enter the new building during the coming year with the $25,000 subscribed by the colored citizens paid in full. If this is done it will mean that the $100,000 building will be entered free of any debt. The meeting Sunday afternoon was an enthusiastic one and the large audience listened with interest as the speakers told what a one hundred thousand dollar Y. M. C. A. building would mean to the colored citizens of Baltimore. The speakers included Mr. Harry T. Pratt, Dr. T. S. Hawkins, Dr. A. O. Reid, Mr. James W. Hughes, president of the Association, and Secretary S. S. Booker. Mr. Walter S. Emerson presided. Mr. Pratt told what the new building would mean to the business men of Baltimore. He said that it would provide not only a place where business men could come together, but would also provide a place where exercise of a beautiful nature could be indulged in after the strenuous efforts of a busy day. Dr. T. S. Hawkins spoke of the advantage of the new building from a health standpoint, saying it would provide clean, airy, comfortable dormitories for a number of young men who otherwise might be compelled to sleep in unhealthy and cramped quarters. He also emphasized the mental, moral and physical exercise, which would mean much to the health of the men and boys of the community. Mr. Hughes, who was the largest individual subscriber to the campaign in 1912, urged that it was up to the colored people to live up to their part of the contract. "Mr. Rosenwald and the white people of the Central Association," he said, "have kept their part of the agreement, and $75,000 are now available for the construction of this much needed building, and it is now up to us to do our part. It will be a disarray if we fall down on our part." Secretary Booker reviewed the work of the Association in this city and said that the need of new and larger quarters had become an urgent necessity. He said that it had been doubled in some quarters that the colored people would live up to their pledges until the $15,000 had been collected, and mentioned that even some of the colored people had doubted their ability to meet the test. He also said that a number of those who had pledged sums of money had consistently refused to pay up until the announcement of a site had been made, these pledges would be expected to pay up. Dr. A. K. Reid, chairman of the Building Fund Committee, told of the trials in collecting the subscriptions. Another big meeting will be held Sunday at Grace Presbyterian Church at which time one or two of the International secretaries will be present. WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN During the coming weeks a whirlwind campaign will be waged to collect the balance of the money pledged and in the next ten days a special effort will be made to raise at least $1,000. Three divisions of forty-five workers are soliciting funds and if any of them should stop in to see YOU those in charge of the campaign are hoping that you will see your way clear to pay something on your subscription. The divisions are as follows: Division A—Gee, W. F. McMechen, chairman; W. H. Langley, secretary; George V. Lottier, Jos. Press, Fearless Williams, John W. Carter, Dr. B. M. Rhetta, Thos. J.

Reid, chairman; W. S. Emerson, W. H. Langley, J. A. B. Callis, W. A. Jones. To Begin Work On Colored Tenements New York, N. Y., Dec. 12.—To build model tenements for colored residents of this city, a plan developed by the late Dr. E. R. L. Gould in connection with his presidency of the City & Suburban Homes Company, and partially deferred because of his death about a year ago, is now in definite shape. This pressing problem, one of the greatest confronting housing economists, will be presented in detail, and ways and means to put it into effect considered at a meeting next Tuesday at 3:30 o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce. This meeting, following numerous conferences, has been arranged by the City & Suburban Homes Company, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and the Advisory Council of Real Estate Interests, to outline the plan to persons interested. The investigation of the proper housing of Negroes in this city was conducted by a local committee of the National League, which is directed by Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee; Prof. Keller Miller, of Howard University; A. S. Prissle, and L. Hollingsworth Wood. Outline of Plan The plan of the City & Suburban Homes Company to house Negroes in sanitary tenements, such as the Hamilton, in the "San Juan" district in the middle West side of the city, will be outlined by President Allan Robinson. He said yesterday: "While the plan to solve the problem should be approached in a comprehensive manner and not limited to one or two units, we feel that a beginning should be made on a reasonably small scale. It is proposed to develop a plot of eight lots upon which a model tenement can be erected at a cost not to exceed $325,000, including the cost of the land. The average rent at $1.50 per room per week, including bath, would produce, a gross income sufficient to earn at least 4 per cent on the capital invested. The eighteen years' experience of the company shows that such buildings will be filled at once with respectable Negroes." It is not generally known that there are in Harlem alone 63,000 colored people, larger than the population of Peoria, Ill.; Savannah, Ga., and Harrisburg, Pa. Within the last eighteen months the Negro population of Harlem has increased from 49,000 to this number, and it is estimated that within in the next few years it will run as high as 90,000 to 100,000. Unfortunately, there have been very few attempts to permit these colored people to have the advantages of as good housing conditions as prevail in other sections of the city. States Nceds of Freedmen's Hospital Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—The need of a pathological building, the lack of suitable quarters for laboratory study and the need of more laundry space are among the wants of Freedmen's Hospital, as stated in the annual report of Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon in chief, to the Secretary of the Interior. It is declared the unkempt and unsightly grounds about the hospital cannot be utilized for the benefit of the patients until funds are provided for the necessary fencing and beautifying. A ward for the eye and nervous patients is greatly needed, it is stated, while an increase in the force of employees of the institution is also asked for. An appeal is made for the increasing of the salaries of the low grade positions, so that a higher grade of employees could be bad. "This would relieve the embarrassing situations which sometimes arise and would add much to the efficiency of the service," the report says. It is declared the frequent changes in the force of employees are due to inadequate salaries, as it is impossible to induce a high-grade employee to remain in the service very long on a low-grade salary. There were a total of 3,671 indoor patients in the hospital luring the fiscal year, as against 3,535 for the previous year. Of the number admitted, including births, 1,756 were District of Columbia Indians, 1,436 were United States indigents and 299 paid for the service rendered them. A total of 281 births occurred; 16 were pay, and 265 were indigent patients. Kidney and lung diseases were the leading causes of death, the former being 18 per cent and the latter -12.5 per cent. It was noted that 65 per cent of the typhoid fever cases admitted came from the state of Maryland. COMMUNITY HOUSE FOR YORK York, Pa., December 14. —Work on the community house for colored people of North Dause street is nearing completion. Need to start the work has been as PRICE THREE CENTS Amendment Providing For Exelusion of Colored Immigrants Fails to Pass Senate CALLS NEGRO INFERIOR "Cracker" Senator Declares: Colored Man is Equal of Neither Yellow or White Races Washington, December 14.—After some debate in which the Negro was lambasted and defended, alternately, an amendment to the Immigration Bill excluding Negro immigrants was defeated in the Senate Tuesday. The debate followed an amendment to the bill offered by Senator Reed, of Missouri, which would have prevented native Africans, except they were of the white race, front taking up residence in this country. Senator Gallinger pointed out that African immigration here was of a negligible quantity, only 712 persons come here within the past ten years. Senator Reed's amendment was then defeated by a vote of 37 to 32. Senator Reed then offered another amendment to the committee amendment, excluding all, except white immigrants, from the West Indies, Cape Verde and Azores Islands. This would have hit at the great bulk of Negro immigrants to this country. Senator Reed alleged that immigrant from these islands were undersirable, and that 43,667 had come there from 1907. Senator Gallinger said that this amendment would exclude many Cubans who were not of the white race. "There are a great many good people in Cuba, as I happen to know personally, who are not white and who would make good citizens," he added. He suggested that if the amendment prevailed Cuba should exclude American immigration. CALLS NEGRO INFERIOR Senator Reed replied that he would not say that there were not some good Cubans who are not white, but "that no man not of the white race ought to be permitted to settle permanently in the United States. Already in our laws relating to naturalization we have excluded from the privileges of citizenship every race except the white race and the black race, and the black race no man can claim is the equal of the white race or the yellow race." By a vote of 36 to 28 this amendment was lost. Reed then offered another amendment designed to exclude Filipino which was also rejected. Mr. President, I have a number of other amendments which I had intended to submit, the import of which would have been to bar all immigrants from this country except those of the white race. I have sufficiently tested the temper of the Senate upon the amendments which have been offered and understand perfectly that it would be fateful to offer and further amendments." Senator Works, Republican member from California, said that he was not in favor of anything but white immigration, but that the Negro in this country must be given fair play. He voted against the Reed amendments, however, as did other Republicans and some Northern Democrats. Lee, of Maryland, voted for the amendments, while John Walter Smith was not present. An amendment aiming at the Japanese was also voted down. SUBSCRIBE FUNDS FOR NEW FAIR GROUNDS Greensboro, N. C., December 14.—At the close of the recent first colored fair of Guilford county residents, 200 colored people subscribed to funds needed to secure a fair ground. 30 acres have been secured and suitable buildings will be erected. The fair was held on the grounds of the Agricultural and Dechicalal College, and was largely attended. The exhibits were highly credible. In connection with the "human" interest displayed by the directors of the fair was a card with a comparison of the home-owning capacities shown by Negroes in some of the larger towns of North Carolina. This chart showed the following: Asheville has a Negro population of 5,359, and Negroes own one home to each 16 members of the race, and the town is third in the state in the comparison made. The other figures given are first the population, second the number to each home owned and, third, the standing in the relationship of the town to the other towns given: Charlotte, 11,742; 21, 6; Durham, 8,869; 26, 7; Greensboro, 5,170; 17, 4; New Bern, 5,649; 12, 1; Raleigh, 7,367; 17, 4; Wilmington, 12,107; 15, 2; Winston-Salem, 7,828; 30, 8.

Both strongly urged the need of an educated leadership and decision that Morgan College. If given proper financial assistance, would be a factor in this alliance worth. Over $100 was pledged as a nucleus. The meeting at John Wesley M. B. Church was no less enthused. Bishop Anderson and an alumnus Pleasen the speakers. The mission for raising the needed endowment will be waged in various M. E. Conferences, white and colored.

HELP MORGAN COLLEGE The educational mass meetings held in two city churches last Friday in the interest of Morgan College should arouse the people of Maryland as to the possibilities of this modest institution. They should give liberally toward the $150,000 endowment fund needed. Morgan College has sent many successful men and women out into the world. They have made a name for themselves and the race, and who are among the leaders in their respective communities. The college will be better able to cope with the great demand for educated leaders if its resources are increased. Marylanders should help to expand its influence by aiding in a financial way. UNION IN METHODISM A conference of eminent churchmen representing the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will meet in this city on December 25th to bring about, if possible, a union of these two bodies of Methodism. What to do with the Negro will be one of the blocks upon which these eminent divines will probably hitch. The Southern church is in favor of establishing two regional conferences one in the North and the other in the South, each electing its own bishops and having its delegates to a general conference. It also favors the setting apart of the colored Methodist as a distinct and separate body, having only fraternal relations with the larger body. The Northern church favors three regional conferences: one in the North one in the South, and the third composed of the colored members of the church. Each of these bodies will select its own bishops and general officers and each will have representation in a general conference composed of delegates from the three bodies—the bishops of the three regional conference to have equal and exact powers in the general conferences. With the prospect of a colored man some day occupying the position of Senior Bishop of the great United Methodist Episcopal Church, it is hardly that the Southeners will accept the plan of their Northern brethren. At the same time it is believed that there are enough strong friends of the race in the personnel of the Northern delegation to prevent this adoption of any plan that will leave the Negro out of consideration. Impact, the Northern branch of the church, at its recent session in Saratoga, N. X., instructed its commission as to the only plan upon which they could agree to unite. SOME VIEWS ON EDUCATION Movements as widely separated as the Immigration Bill before the Senate. the Negro Exodus, and the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the founding of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia. brought out observations during the week both from the North and South on the advisability of educating the Negro. Commenting upon the splendid work Atlanta University has accomplished in fifty years, the New York Evening Post remarks that, "It should be able to offer a higher grade of collage teaching than is the case at present; indeed, history will surely express itself freely in the years to come at the shortsightness of the Federal Government in not seeing to it that there was at least one such institution in every one of the old slave states." The Boston Transcript does not feel that this half million endowment Atlanta University is campaigning for will be sufficient to help matters very far as long as other schools are so poorly administered. It says: The higher education there available for colored youth, however high, will no more than average Negro education up to a very common level so long as the other extreme of the State-supported schools for the blacks of Georgia is reversed by a shanty on four posts with one door, the lintel a yard from the ground without any steps leading to it, only a soap box, where the only seats are narrow boards without backs, and where the teaching goes on only five months in the year. Such conditions as these were actually found this very year and were thus described at the Old South meeting by Mrs. George Smith of Framingham, the daughter of President Ware of Atlanta University (successor to the first president, Dr. Horace Bumstead) and sister of the present head of Atlanta, Edward T. Ware." An editorial in the Atlanta Constitution as much as admits that schools especially in the country districts of the South amount to nothing and that Georgia as well as other states has been behind in the matter of Negro education; "unfair in the matter of facilities, in the quality of teachers and instructors, and in the pay of those expected to impart proper instruction to Negro children... The Constitution acknowledges that this backwardness is one of the chief cause of the migration of laborers Northward. The only, unharmonious remark of the week is that of Senator Vardaman who in answer to a statement by Senator Callinger of New Hampshire to the effect that Negroes are as ready as Russian Jews to take advantage of school facilities, retorted "The best educated Negro in the world is not as capable of understanding the genius of American institutions as the average illiterate sound-minded white man. It is not in the strain of the blood." Perhaps Senator Vardamon's thrust should pass unnoticed in view of the motion of the Transcript in the same article quoted above that: "As a matter of fact, there is no division in intelligent classes of all communities North and South, nowadays, over the need and advantage of educating Negroes." LITERARY NEWS Anent the approaching 200th anniversary of Maryland's greatest Negro, Frederick Douglass, the chapter of a recent autobiography by S. D. Corrothers entitled "Dunbar, Douglass and Riley," gives some idea of Mr. Douglass' popularity during his lifetime. At the closing of the World's Fair in Chicago where Mr. Douglass, with his then secretary, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, served as representative of Hayti, Mr. Corrothers conceived and carried out a Parewell Public Reception to the great Marylander. How willingly the people of Chicago and fair visitors made this reception their own is borne out by the fact that there was no admission fee, no collection and nothing whatever was charged for. A white publisher printed 1000 programs free; a wealthy colored woman put her carriage at the disposal of Mr. Douglass; a colored caterer donated a five course banquet for thirty people, and colored singers who could command as much as $20 per night volunteered. Speech-making at this banquet lasted until after 12 o'clock. Dr. P. S. Henson spoke on "An Anglo-Saxon View of Douglass": the president of the Illinois State W. C. T. U., and a woman prominent in temperance work in London, told of the esteem in which Douglass was held by temperance workers everywhere; John Alexander Dowie, founder of Dowisie, though not asked to be on the program, briefly recited the in which Douglass was held in Scotland ad Australia; the president of the colored waiters' union told why colored workingmen reverenced Douglass; and doctors and ministers, lawyers and even children were represented in the speecher, which told of the high regard for a great man. Long after midnight when Mr. Douglass rose to reply, he expressed his gratitude, but added, "I do not feel elated by these eulogistic references to my greatness, but my littleness. For myself I claim nothing, for my cause, everything." "In Spite of the Handicap" by Jas. L. Carrothers, is the life history of a man endowed with unquenchable perseverance. Crushed, chargined and sore at heart his indominable will made him rise from difficulty after difficulty and find solace in honest labor though many times menal. Recognized for his ability, yet despised for his color, his was the typical story of the young American Negro who faces the closed door. It is to be borne in mind that Mr. Corrothers was a Northern Negro, traditionally supposed to fare better than his brothers from the Southland. If possible, his trials were more bitter because he had been led to believe that the quality of a man's work was the thing that would be counted in the world. Mr. Corrothers has been unusually fortunate in the lives he has touched among both colored and white and the pictures which he gives us of Incidents in the lives of such men as Dunbar, Douglass and James Whitcomb Riley and others not quite so well known among our own people, some of whom are living today, are truly illuminating. "In Spite of the Handicap." James D. Corrothers—Ceeo. H. Doran Co. New York, 1916. 12 mo. $1.25 FOR BENEFIT OF CHURCH Mt. Winans, Md. Dec. 14. —The Home Missionary Society gave a silver offering at Bethany Baptist Church for the benefit of paying on the church debt. The sermon was prescheduled by Rev. Thompson, of Washington.

Mrs. William Jefferson, of 1106 Argyle avenue THE FORUM ATTORNEY CORBIS SHOULD BE RETAINED BY HOWARD UNIVERSITY AT ANY COST To the Editor of the Afro-American: In last week's issue of several Negro papers, the attention of the public was directed to the fact that one of our new professors has been requested by the Secretary of the Interior, to show cause why he should not resign his professorship, simply because he had manhood and art, in his heart, to advocate for President of the United States, a man whose entire public career challenged the admiration of every American citizen who wished to see the government of this country administered with fairness and justice to all, regardless of race. If this is a prime then let the enemies of our race make the most of it. As assistant director of the Negro Advisory Committee of the Republican National Committee, Professor James A. Cobbs rendered invaluable service to his race, and his colleagues deserve the highest commendation. It is true that Attorney Cobbs is a member of the faculty of an institution that is supported, largely, by Congressional appropriations, and it is also true that the Democratic Congress has been very generous in making appropriations to Howard University, but there can be another member of our faculty who sees danger threatening ten million Negroes, politically or otherwise, to refuse to stand up for his race for fear that he might either lose his professorship or antagonize Democratic Congressmen to the extent that they might exert their influence to withhold all aid to this university. The ultimate demands the resignation of Mr. Cobbs, the latter should absolutely refuse to comply, and the Trustees, Deans and other members of the faculty of Howard University should uphold his actions. By doing this, Howard will convince the world that she is not willing to acquiesce in the multitude of wrongs practiced upon our race, mostly to get her highest position, but on the other hand she will demonstrate most emphatically, that her highest mission is to boldly and courageously serve, may necessitate the untimely closing of her doors. UZZIAH MINER. Associate Editor Howard University Journal. December 11. THE NEGRO FARMER The emigration of Negroes from Southern states to Northern continues to be a topic for interesting discussion. The Negro has been doing very well in the South, but he seems to think that the North offers more opportunity. It will not be long before the Negro becomes dissatisfied in the North. Politicians at times have advocated segregation for Negro farm owners and laws providing only Negro tax money for Negro schools and white tax money for white schools. But no general movement of this kind ever succeeded. In the first place it would be unconstitutional. In the second place the Negro pays about as much taxes as he gets benefits. In many rural communities Negro farmers have bought land and equipped it with stock and machinery and are doing exceptionally well. The Census Bureau at Washington, has made public recently facts showing that the Negro who stuck to the country instead of going to town has prospered in many instances. Of the $33,370 farms operated by Negroes in 1910, $80, $36, or $8.6 per cent, were situated in the South. The average size of farm operated by the Negro in the South was 46.9 acres, and the amount of improved land for farms, 30.8 acres. The average acreage of farms operated by whites in the South is 141.3, and of improved land for farms, 55.7. The average value of farm property for farms is $1,230 for Southern Negroes, and $3,350 for Southern whites; but the average value per acre is slightly higher for Negroes than for whites—$26.25 as against $25.19. Of the Negro farmers in the South 24 per cent are owners or part owners and 75.9 per cent are tenants; of the white farmers 60.1 per cent are owners and 39.2 per cent tenants. In 1900 187,797 Negroes owned their farms, and in 1910 the number had increased to 218,972. In 1900 there were 557,174 Negro tenant farmers, and in 1910 672,964. —Columbus, S. C. Record.

GOODLOW SUES FOR $1,000 "Bob" Goodlow was choo-chooing down Linden avenue one day last summer thinking of the days when he would come to be a bloated bondholder only to have his high sounding thoughts rudely interrupted by a Linden avenue car bumping into his machine without even an apology. He thought his time had come to "cash in" but found out that only his auto had been damaged. As a balm for his interrupted reflections he is now seeking to collect a bonus of $1,000 damages from the United Railways. As the Christmas period begins next week and the mails will be overloaded, correspondents are requested to have their news in by Tuesday. This request is also made of advertisers, as far as practicable, so as to enable the Afro-American to get out early, and reach subscribers and agents in time for delivery before Christmas Day. Mr. Charles Griffin, of Philadelphia, was in the city Sunday and Monday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. David Arnett Murphy, of 748 Waesche Street WILL YOU HELP THIS POOR GIRL? Alone In The World With Her Sight Failing and Unable To Stand Up During the Christmas holidays the spirit of giving is manifest as at no other time of the year. Santa Claus gives to the children, while friends remember each other with gifts appropriate to the season. To most of us, the Christmas season is most manifest in the joy of living and having health and strength to enjoy the many good things that abound. To some, however, the season brings small joys. For them there is life, yes, but no health and use of limb to enjoy the season's festivities. For the past few years the Afro-American has called attention to some one of these unfortunates in order that Christmas cheer might be brought to them by those who find joy in giving. This year there is a case reported to us by the Federated Charities, that is deserving of the consideration of all who may be in any way able to help: A young girl of twenty has had to stop work because of trouble with her feet. Her sight is also leaving her. The doctor has prescribed braces for her legs and glasses for her eyes, but she is unable to buy either. A friend is taking care of her temporally until she is able to go back to work. It will cost $20. to pay for the braces and glasses. This is a case that certainly should appeal to every one during this season of the year. Remember, this appeal is not made for a mendicant, but for a girl who has always earned her own way, and will earn it again as soon as she is able to work. Any contributions sent to this office or to the offices of the Federated Charities will be duly acknowledged. The Afro-American Co. $2.00 WITH THE MOVIES THE CAREY The Carey Theatre is still playing to S. R. O. The high class of pictures that have been shown at this popular playhouse has kept it in the forefront. During the, coming week in addition to the regular serials a number of special attractions will be on the boards. The million dollar Charlie Chaplin will make his reappearance after a long absence, on Tuesday in "His First Vacation." On the same evening will appear "Somewhere on the Battlefield," H. H. Van Loan's powerful drama. On Saturday, December Propetitor Cremens will give a special matinee performance at which all children under fifteen years of age will be admitted free. This will be the Carey's Christmas present to all the little kidlets of Northwest Baltimore. Needless to say standing room will be at a premium on this occasion. THE REGENT "Race Suicide," the powerful social drama will be the extra attraction at the Regent Thursday. This wonderful exposition of the human problem is being presented again at this showhouse because of the demands of the thousands of patrons who have not seen the production. In addition to this will be a number of special vaudeville numbers and the fact that Mr. Kennard Williams has assumed the stage directors assurance to all those who love good vaudeville, a program of exceptional merit. Manager Clifton Johnson says "If it's worth having, it's worth asking for." so if there is any special show you would like to see ask "Clint." THE DENBAR The Dunbar, "Baltimore's latest, newest and most up-to-date show house" continues to draw large crowds and already Managers Trimble and Diggs have noticed a long stirring of "regular comers" who appreciate the effort they are making to give the best pictures obtainable. All of the best serials are being shown and in addition the comedies and dramas are of a character that would be bound to tempt the discriminating movie fan anywhere. Special attractions will be shown all during Christmas week. THE NEW LINCOLN Whenever one hears that "The Whitman Sisters are coming" it is almost equivalent to hearing the cry "The Circus is coming;" so when the Whitmans and their big company enter upon the engagement at the New Lincoln Theatre next week, standing room will be at a premium. Without a doubt the Whitman Sisters bring the most popular art that comes to Baltimore, and if Manager Flacks kept them at his theatre all winter he would be assured of a crowded house. In addition to these popular performers there will b the usual high class feature pictures. THE STAR THEATRE Dewayman Niles, the greatest colored contortionist, is billed as the special attraction at the Star for next week. In addition Russell and McLaurin will entertain with good singing and dancing. The Star continues to attract large audiences and discriminating patrons declare that the vaudeville bills are of a character that will keep the popular East Baltimore playhouse in the eye of the public. Manager Bergen is preparing a special offering for Christmas week. SPECIAL NOTE To keep informed as to what is going on in the movie world, read the advertisements on the last page of this paper. They are interesting whether one goes to the movie or not. Get the habit. MEETING OF THE W. M. M. SOCIETY The first quarterly meeting of the Mite Missionary Society of the Baltimore Conference Branch convened in Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church Wednesday of this week. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. C. J. Flagg, president. Devotional exercises were conducted by representatives from the city churches. The morning session was taken up with the organization of the meeting and reports of the churches in the respective districts. Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president of the Parent Body, was present during all the sessions. As is her usual custom, she gave a few words of encouragement to the ladies engaged in the work. Mrs. Minnie Johnson, wife of Bishop Johnson, of Philadelphia, was present and was extended a warm welcome by the women. She thanked the women for their warm expressions and assured them of her interest in the work in this conference branch, a work in which she has been engaged some years previous and where she had experienced so many delightful moments. Mrs. Flagg emphasized the importance of every president of a local society appointing a special fund worker in her society, explaining the need of this special fund to help defy the many incidental expenses connected with the promotion of the missionary work. Miss Mary Curtis, of Washington, was elected reporter. Rev. West, of Hagerstown, and Rev. Hertzfeld, city missionary, brought reports from their respective fields. Mrs. A. L. Welch, of Washington, reported the special fund being $10.65. Rev. James G. Martin, pastor of the church advised those present of the sale of a discipline of the church which was not duly authorized by the General Conference and printed by the head of the Sunday School Union. He said that the discipline printed by the Book Concern, of which R. R. Weight is head, was the only duly authorized establishment to publish said book, and that the price was 50 cents instead of 25 cents, the price of the bogus discipline. At the completion of his remarks, several of the women took up the subject and many rapid-fire questions in Rev. Martin, why such a thing is allowed to go on in this way. Rev. Ruth Collett said that Dr. Wright should use the law for the protection of himself and of the church; that the discipline of the A. M. E. Church was incorporated and that he had a right under the incorporation to stop any flooding of the country with bogus work purporting to be legally authorized of the church. Rev. Martin attempted to answer Mrs. Collett by saying it was hard to stop the practice on account of the growing tendency of appealing to men in the spirit of sectionalism, which is becoming almost an eating cancer in the church. Mrs. E. L. Steptoean, of Washington, said that this same spirit of sectionalism has been brought into the work of the women and that the Missionary Society of the South refuses to unite with the Missionary Society of the North. This spirit was mainly shown, she said, at the meeting during the General Conference in May. Continuing she said that the men of the northern section did not stand by their women as the men in the southern section in the things they want at the hands of the General Conference; taking as an example the Missionary Recorder. Mrs. Gaines said that one of the women told her at the last General Conference that the men in this section (referring to the North) did not stand by their women as the men do in the South. Rev. Norris defended the men of the Baltimore Conference. The afternoon session was taken up with reports on temperance work and a short program by the 'juveniles, led by Mrs. Wortham. The report of the treasurer showed the total amount of money collected during the quarter of $351.24, with an expense of $330.60. REV. STEWART IMPROVING Members of Ebenezer the A. M. E. Church were alarmed by a report that the pastor, Rev. Charles E. Stewart, was seriously ill with pneumonia. He had a severe attack of quinse sore throat, however, but is now in a greatly improved condition. He will resume his pastoral duties shortly. It is thought that Dr. Stewart contracted the cold during the big rally in which he raised $1,500 recently. PEPILS TO SING CAROLS POTTS TO SING CAROLS The pupils of the Carey Street School will sing their specially prepared program of Christmas carols at Ames Memorial Church, Carey and Baker streets, next Thursday night. The event will mark the close of a successful bazaar, that has been in progress at the church. The choirs of Ames Church will assist, under the guidance of Miss Frances P. Smith, who recently assumed direction of the junior and senior choirs. Rev. A. J. Mitchell is pastor of the Church and Mr. George B. Murphy is principal of the school. SPECIAL NOTICE The Baltimore delegation who will attend the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association session in Salisbury Md., December 28th and 29th, will leave Baltimore Wednesday afternoon, December 27th. All those who wish to take advantage of the reduced rate which will be given to parties of ten or more, should see Mr. William H. Lee, chairman of the delegation, 2225 Druid Hill avenue for further information. Mrs. L. N. Frisby, of 1005 E. Madison street, is spending a week in Philadelphia. Legislature To Make Appropriation For Much Needed Building The colored people of Maryland will in all probability, receive from the next Legislature a good appropriation toward the establishment of a sanitarium or sanatoria for colored tuberculosis victims. Senator John Walter Smith has come out strongly in favor of the care of colored consumptives, and as his wing of the Democratic party controls matters political in Maryland just now the appropriation, with the aid of Republican members reality. While Governor, Senator Smith started the movement that resulted in the establishment of the sanitarium for whites at Sabillasville, and is now president of the board of managers of the institution. The Senator declares that it is imperative that the State care for colored consumptives. Instead of big State institution he is somewhat inclined to the view that small sanitarians should be established near populous colored districts. The stand of Senator Smith is distinctly gratifying to those who have been in the forefront of the battle against consumption and its ravages. Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the State Board of Halth, and Rev. George A. Griffin are among those who have hastened to commend the suggestion of the Senator. At the recent session of the Maryland Conference of Charities and Corrections, Father Griffiths made a ringing appeal in behalf of an institution where colored consumptives could be properly cared for. He pointed out that the only place in the State where consumptives could now go was at Bayview, and that the idea of going there was repugnant to many. He said that there are now 1,000 registered consumptives among the colored people of Baltimore, and that Bayview has only accommodations for 42 beds. Dr. Jacobs said that the Maryland Anti-Tuberculosis Society, of which he is president, had been planning a campaign to impress upon the next Legislature it great need of provision for colored consumptives. Dr. Fulton said that the 360,000 colored people of Maryland are so distributed as to make provision for the care of the tubercular among them absolutely necessary.

Now is the Time to Advertise --- "When a woman is ill, she can't be beaten! more than she can said, so it is with the New York. Don't you ever top to thine of the new girl today and her little shing words, and her amount of independence? She will play tennis-basket ball-golf-foot ball-base ball, drive the most spirited, thorough-breed of horses-act as her own chaucerer and hundreds of other things, that a few years ago would have been thought entirely out of place. Now-a-days she is some one to be reckoned with. She does not depend on brother, father or some good relative or friend to escort her some place to champion her cause, she is her own best champion. If she goes out for an afternoon affair and gets caught in the rain and says damn with a big "D" she does not think anything of it, and why should you. If you had on a lovely lace creation of a dress and just the sweetest of lace picture hats and your hair all fluffy and frizzily and a dainty pair of white kid slippers and silk stockings - don't you think you would say d—too, of course you would. What girl looks pretty or can look pretty with bedraggled skirts and a wet floppy hat- and muddy feet and her hair all stringy around her face, I think she is entitled to say not only d—but a few more words. Why didn't she carry an umbrella you'll say or go prepared for the weather - but what girl or woman either is thinking of rain with the sun shining and the birds singing and all nature looking as though it was especially glad for her sake. The other day I was the guest of a new girl and she was just the bestest and most up-to-date sort of new girl you would want to see. She had succeeded in bringing together a lot of other girls and had gotten up the nicest kind of a lecture and succeeded after many disappointments in getting a noted lecturer to talk for them and one of our very best concert singers to sing for her. The lecturer the girls had requested to speak and had even set the date for and advertised broadcast - disappointed them at the last moment and sent a telegram saying he could not come but would send some one equally as good in his place. The disappointment was great but the girls kept it among themselves, put a brave front on the matter and greeted the substitute lecturer with as much dignity as though he had been the man really expected - and wonder of wonders - he really proved up to the expectation of the audience that greeted him - though at first when he announced to them he was not the gentleman expected and why he didn't come the disappointment was keen, but as one woman remarked who had never heard the expected lecturer - "If he is any better than the speaker of the evening, then he is a gold-mine for my part" said she "I don't think he could be improved upon." The singer of the evening was in one word - "Great." At the close of the lecture she said to her audience "Most white people think that colored people only sing or write one type of this music - but the two songs I shall sing are not of that type. They are both by noted colored composers. The first is "Jean" by Harry T. Burleigh of New York, and the other "Life and Death" by Coleridge Taylor, the noted English composer." And then proceeded to sing them and succeeded so well that she received one enroler after another. The lecture was a decided success in spite of the disappointment of the expected lecturer. The New Girl is not only a success in the ways mentioned but she is a success at any thing she undertakes to do and she does not fail or give up at every big block that blocks her way. For my part I enjoyed every moment of the time spent in the New Girl's company, even to the business meeting part. She is to be commended on the stand she takes. She is so earnest, so true, so breezy, so broad-minded, so big-hearted, so good-natured, so independent that you can't help but admiring them. They go out motoring, for hikes, have basket ball and their card parties and don't stop at home waiting for a man to come and ask her. And then she is so clean minded too. Now-a-days the clinging vine kind, the timid soft little pussy-willow kind of a girl is entirely out of the running. The new girl is not thinking of sitting at home waiting for some fellow to cart her around or sit in the corner and hold hands and make eyes, those things are out of date, and are not done any more by my type of new girl. Here's luck to the New Girl. Did you ever wonder why a man whom everybody calls a big man and who thinks he is a big man himself will deliberately make dates for his presence in certain places and then as deliberately break them? Why is it they will promise to be in a certain place at a certain time then wait until a day or two before the day he is to be present to hunt up what railroad the town or city lies near only to find that from the place he is then in he can't possibly make the date. Provoking isn't it and often leads to a lot of trouble. I do not think there is any excuse for a man or woman disappointing a set of people because of a lack of knowledge of the topography of the country. It is his place to know if Beltown is situated near Philadelphia or Baltimore when he makes the date and not think because it is in Maryland it is near Baltimore-or it is in Pennsylvania it is near Philadelphia. That is a poor excuse for a man who travels nine days in the years out of The above is the name of the person or organization of the person or organization who is the subject of the above. C. & P.

J., December 14.—When Col. D. Stewart Craven submitted the annual budget of the Bordentown Colored Industrial School to the State Board of Education, they expressed surprise when told that $192,000 was needed for next year. The big sum includes $11,000 for maintenance, and the remainder for extensions and new buildings. One of the new buildings was a $15,000 home for Principal Valentine. This was cut to $7,500 and the budget submitted to Governor Fielder last Thursday. United States Senator-elect Frelinghuysen, president of the Board, grew warmer when he found out that $1,000 annually was asked for repairs to the new dormitory. This building was erected three years ago, and State Architect George E. Drew may be called on to explain why the structure is not in first class condition. Y. M. C. A. FOR FREEHOLD Freehold, N.
