The Afro-American

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PASTOR AND STEWARD CLASH AT BETHEL QUARTERLY CONFERENCE Rev.J. W. Sanders' Suspension of W.B. Hamer Overruled By a Substantial Majority PASTOR IS DEFIANT What is said to have been the most tumultuous quarterly conference at Bethel A. M. E. Church within the past forty years, occurred Monday night, and charges and countercharges flow thick and fast. The tumult grew out of the suspension of William B. Hamer as a steward by Rev. J. W. Sanders on account of the fact that Mr. Hamer differed with the pastor about the appropriation of money to aid in the expenses of publishing Bethel Herald, the official organ of the church. In anticipation of wordy fight, more than two hundred persons attended the quarterly conference, which is the last before the session of the annual conference at Frederick in April. Even a policeman must have heard the news because he took his station within the church and remained for nearly a half hour in anticipation of trouble cropping out. The members cast angry glances at him, and as there seemed to be nothing "doing" he left for the night. Everything seemed serene as Presiding Elder D. G. Hill called for reports from various departments of the church, until Pastor Sanders said that he would offer the report of Bethel Herald to be read for the "information" of those present. The report, which covered the past 63 weeks, showed that the publication had cost $442.50 and that about $112 of this sum remained unpaid. Mr. Jacob Heath was on his feet immediately and declared that the Herald was being published at a loss, which indicated that the money could be better used in paying for conference claims, etc. Mr. John T. Williams also claimed that the publication is a useless one as far as productiveness of results is concerned. Dr. Sanders then asserted that the Herald carried to the members and friends of the church, as well as to the white people, news which was of help in keeping them aware of the financial status of the congregation. He also said that it told about the activities of the campfire girls, the boy scouts and the domestic science class, as well as of the prospective establishment of an employment bureau. He declared that the church was now in a better financial condition than at any time since it has been in its present location. The latter declaration was disputed by Mr. John T. Williams. Mr. Howard E. Young asserted that he had been a member of the publication board until his resignation therefrom six weeks ago, and that he had not known the board to have met within the five months prior thereto. HAMER GIVES FIGURES Mr. Hamer asserted that the publication was being run at a loss, that it owed one printing company $46.25 prior to June 20th last and that it had gone into a debt of $75.75 with another printer since. He gave figures to show that the largest proportion of the money given by the church toward the expenses of publication had been appropriated by the stewards, the sum being $55 out of $91 from June to October. The climax to the fight came when the characters of the members of the conference were about to be passed. Dr. Sanders arrested the passing of the characters by asserting that he had suspended Mr. Hamer as a steward or the following alleged reasons: 1. Pallure to work in conjunction with the pastor and using rash language. 2. Fomenting dissension and imber conduct. 3. William Magruder declared the trouble started at the meeting of the awards on January 5, when a response to appropriate $13 toward one to pay the weekly salary of $19.23 a second thereto. Mr. Hamer, he went on to say offered a motion to approprate $2 instead of $13, which the pastor refused to entertain. Mr. Hamer is then said to have ordered Mr. Emer to make out drafts for the 13 members weekly salary and for the $13. Mr. Hamer refused on the ground that he stewards had not authorized it by their vote. The pastor then forthwith suspended Mr. Emer as steward, it was asserted, and hussle ensued over the possession of the latter's books as secretary for the stewards, with the pastor as the loser in the books. A flery exchange of words is said to have ensued between the pastor and deposed steward, ac- cording to witnesses and Mr. Hamer. An aftermath occurred the following Sunday, when Mr. Hamer was said to have criticised the action of the minister. The pastor said that he would have called in the police and had the steward (Hamer) arrested that day had it not been communion Sunday. Mr. Humer demanded that the pastor produce any evidence of his disloyalty, the reply thereto seemingly not convincing to those present. THE PASTOR DEFIANT Dr. Hill told those present that during the five years he served as pastor that he had not had any friction, and that if any church needed peace and harmony it was Bethel. The pastor replied that while many had suggested peace and harmony, none had contended that right prevail. At this juncture Mrs. Mary F. Bond declared that Mr. Lozier Jackson had intimated that he had signed a petition directed against the pastor. It was brought out by Mr. Jackson, Mr. Hamer and others that a petition had been circulated asking for a minister living in another city. No reference whatsoever was made to Mr. Sanders. The minister declared that the circulation of such a petition was an act of disloyalty, whether it asked for a pastor living in Philadelphia or one living in St. Louis. Following remarks by Messrs. Stephen Shepherd, William H. Dodd, a thick-and-thin supporter of Dr. Sanders, and Thaddeus Copeland it seemed apparent that there was considerable hostility to Dr. Sanders. Just before the question of raising the suspension of Mr. Hamer was put to a vote, the minister told the congregation that the steward was guilty of the charges preferred, and that if it were voted to reinstate him he would suspend him again as soon as the action was taken. After the presiding elder had told the pastor that no suspension could take place during the session of the quarterly conference, the latter said that under no circumstances would Mr. Hamer be allowed to be an official of the church during the remainder of his administration. An officer must work in absolute harmony with the pastor's wishes, he asserted. The suspension was then raised by a vote or 14 to 3, Mrs. Mary F. Bond, William H. Dodd and Stephen Shepherd voting in the negative. The pastor, then declared that he would take the matter before the board of bishops and that he no longer considered Mr. Hamer a steward. This apparent re-announcement of the suspension in the face of the action of the quarterly conference nettled Dr. Hill, who rebuked the pastor by asserting that he would allow no man to walk over him. The latter then announced that the suspension would take place later. Mr. Hamer said that he only wished to be a steward to protect the members of Bethel Church, and the majority of those present seemed to be with him. Just as the bells were tolling one o'clock Tuesday morning the meeting adjourned. DISCESS IMMIGRATION. Jacksonville, Fla., January 19.—A big mass meeting to discuss the effects upon the South of recent Negro immigration to the North will be held at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church this Sunday afternoon. The meeting will be held at the suggestion of prominent white men who are deeply interested in the question of the loss of colored labor. To arrest this immigration it is said that leading colored men have asked for better schools, a fair chance in the courts, "better working conditions and a square deal generally. To this the white men behind the movement have agreed to lend their efforts. Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, who has charge of the work of the A. M. E. Church in Florida, will be among the speakers. Similar meetings will be held at other points in the State. DuBOIS OUT OF DANGER New York, January 19.—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who had one of his kidneys removed at St. Luke's Hospital two weeks ago, is reported to be in a greatly improved condition. Inquiries have come from all parts of the country concerning the condition of the distinguished publicist. He is expected to be able to leave the hospital in several weeks. Bishop Alexander Walters, who also has been undergoing treatment at the hospital, was discharged a week ago. His condition is said to be greatly improved. He is now at his home, 208 W. 134th street. DuBOIS CIRCLE MEETS The monthly meeting of the DuBois Circle was held at the residence of Mrs. Howard E. Young, 1100 Druid Hill avenue. Tuesday afternoon. Miss Ann McCarey read an informing paper on "Phyllis Wheatley," in which the life and achievements of the poetess were reviewed. Mrs. E. V. Fitzgerald opened the general discussion. A solo was sung by Mrs. B. F. Browne. A luncheon followed. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TUSKEGEE CAIL TO FARMERS BRINGS LARGE GATHERING Tuskegee, Ala., January 18 — Dr. Booker T. Washington's spirit lives on. His call to the farmers of Alabama, sounded twenty-five years ago, is still heard by his people. Over the sodden red clay and rutted roads came hundred of vehicles bringing men and women and children to the annual Tuskegee Farmers' Conference, which opened here yesterday and their proud owners were covered from head to foot with sticky clods of mud. But there was in this procession of successful country folk the joy of victory despite the long, hard ridges, ten, twenty and thirty miles away. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, was perfectly at home in handling the men and women who had for years loved and respected Dr. Washington,—their hero and leader—and who had followed with confidence the founder of Tuskegee. Dr. Moton said that Dr. Washington had been ahead of other leaders in emphasizing the importance of farming for the Negro and the Nation. Bemmatt J. Scott urged the farmers to look to Dr. Moton, as they had to Dr. Washington, for guidance and direction, to trust and love the present principal as they had the man who had died for them. The agricultural and industrial parade, supplemented by outdoor demonstrations and an attractive exhibit of corn and canned goods, was worth making a long journey to see. The work of the girls and women of the school and the county was graphically shown. The girls were represented on the floats showing the work in the horticulture or truck-gardening division, in poultry keeping, in the creamery, hospital aid, and in teaching in the community. ADDRESSES: SUFFRAGETTES Mr. Glenford • Pennington read a paper before the Woman's Progressive Club Tuesday night, explaining why female suffrage had been defeated in the East. Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins and Mrs. Howard E. Young were among those who took part in the discussion. The ladies met at the residence of Mrs. John W. Derry, on Druid Hill avenue. CIVIC LEAGUE MEETING At a meeting of the Luncheon Committee of the Woman's Co-operative Civic League, held at the residence of Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins Tuesday, preparations for the annual meeting and luncheon of the league were made. An out-of-town speaker will be invited, the choice lying between Mrs. Addie Waits Hunton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Mrs. Mary Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Jennie Barrett, of Hampton, Va. LEROY MITCHELL WINS $2.50 A few weeks ago when announcement was made of the winner of the $5 prize offered by Mr. C. Henry Jenkins of New York and Baltimore, for the girl selling the largest number of Afro-Americans, there were heard various and suddry mutterings from the boys as to where they "came off." They knew that some one of them was to receive a prize for selling the largest number of papers, but they thought they were being discriminated against by having to wait longer than the girls. Anyhow, Leroy Mitchell, one of the youngest newsies, and the quietest, will wear a grin of large proportions this week for he is the winner of the $2.50. Leroy, who lives at 901 Leadenhall street, modestly walks into the Afro-American office every week, and when the "how many" is put to him he modestly says "250, please." He has built up his route from 130 to 250 in less than a year. Leroy is so small that he cannot carry all of his papers so his little brother tags along behind and assists in carrying the heavy load. That Leroy succeeds in selling so many papers is no miracle. He has a most pleasant face and it is worth three cents to see him smile. And you get an Afro in the bargain. A MAN'S CHANCE IN THE NORTH That the migration of colored labor to the North on account of the scarcity of white labor due to the European war may be turned into the advantage of securing to the Negroes of this country every right guaranteed other classes of American citizens was asserted by James W. Johnson, organizer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and contributing editor of the New York Age, in an address at Trinity A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening. Mr. Johnson was invited here by Bishop John Hurst, a vice president of the association, and despite the fact that the prelate only had two days in which to work up interest more than 400 people heard the organizer speak. Mr. Johnson detailed a recent visit South, where he interviewed twenty-six editors of daily newspapers, one governor and the mayor of a thriving city. He said that he had heart-to-heart talks with the editors and others over the exodus of Negroes Northward, and that they had agreed with him in the view that if the South would retain the larger element of its dependable class of labor that the Negro must have better schools, a larger share of funds spent for municipal betterment, better living conditions in the rural sections and less police persecution, as well as a fair show in the courts. "Today the South," he went on to say, "is fully alive to the question of Negro migration Northward. Never before has the pocket book of the South been so touched as by this immigration. The Negro now has his greatest opportunity since 1865, and there is a double blessing in the movement Northward. Heretofore the Negro in the North has enjoyed a modicum of civil rights with little or no industrial opportunities. In the South he has enjoyed no rights, but plenty of industrial opportunities. He now has a chance to live in the North upon a solid economic basis with all rights and privileges. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY "I was told by an official of a great railroad that his company could give employment to 1,000,000 colored men. These men scattered through the North, employed at lucrative wages, would have good schools for their children and could cast a ballot that would be counted. In the ballot they would have an instrument in their hands with which they could demand their rights. It is history that a race of people gets nothing that it cannot demand, and our people must prepare to wrest their rights. We now ask the Republicans on our knees to grant us a few rights, and we may wear our knees out in asking the Democrats. If there was from 800,000 to 1,000,000 colored voters from New York to California their power would be such that they would have not to beg for their rights, but they could demand them and the whites will listen, believe me. The Negro all over the country would be benefitted by such a situation. "If the Negro becomes master of the industrial situation, just as the Irish became financially and politically powerful through their masters and the Italians and Greeks were beginning to do prior to the European war, the Negro problem will be solved. The Northern Negro not only has the key to the situation in the North, but can shape the destiny of his race in the South. The advantages enjoyed by the Negroes in the South. A Negro in Massachusetts is not free as long as one in Mississippi is oppressed." He then declared that Southern Negro leaders must tell the white South what they must do for the race if the Northern migration would be stemmed, and asserted that "the Southern white man now has his ears and heart open and is disposed to grant any reasonable demands." The European war, he said, has paved the way for this situation, and means financial and political strength for the race. If the matter is handled correctly. Northern colored people, he declared, can not hold aloof from their Southern brothers coming North, and to do so would result eventually in a curtailment of the privileges now enjoyed by those living North of Mason and Dixon's line. Baltimore could not escape this responsibility of caring for new comers, he said. He said that the Negro had shown his genius for co-operation and organization along many lines, but that practically nothing had been done in the way of organizing to secure manhood rights. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he asserted, was the one body doing this work, and he bespoke for it larger and more sincere support. "I am told that there are 90,000 Negroes in Baltimore," he said, and you should think of what 10,000 Jews could do when banded together." / The recent error of the Jews. ville, Fla., and the Waco (Tex.) horror, he said, would go a long way toward wiping out the lynching evil. He then made a plea for the proper cultivation of the emotional nature of the race, which, he averred, would result in the production of great artists, musicians and a writer. BISHOP HURST SPEAKS Bishop Hurst declared that he wanted for his son every right and privilege that a white man had for his and that he was willing to contend for the same. The race must be properly organized to demand every right and privilege he said. Following the meeting, Mr. Johnson was the guest at an informal reception given by Mr. William C. McCard. He visited the High School, the Afro-American office and a number of other places Wednesday. He is now on a Southern trip which will carry him as far as Florida. While in the city he was the guest of Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst. HAITI IS PROSPERING SO Washington, January 18. According to a report sent the State Department by Lemuel W. Livingston, United States consul at Cape Haitien, Haiti, conditions in the West Indian republic have greatly improved since the treaty giving the United States practical control of the affairs of Haiti was ratified. There are already signs, the report says, that the marketing of staple products will be extended to a large degree, and that as increased consumption will necessarily follow, imports and exports will increase. Organizations have been formed for the establishment of large industrial and agricultural enterprises, and American capital is being solicited to aid in this development. It is hoped thereby that a market will be created for American machinery and agricultural implements. As the improvement of the roads has commenced, it is believed that production will increase and a market made for American vehicles. DISCUSS PROHIBITION Washington, D. C., January 17. Prohibition, higher pay for clerks and school teachers, public school conditions and the manner in which the colored people of the District will participate in the inauguration exercises were the subjects discussed at the meeting of the Central Northwest Citizen's Association, Tuesday evening at the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, L. M. Horshaw, George C. Smith, Rev. D. L. Reed, and Rev. E. W. Williams, reported on and took part in the discussions. K. of P. BUY T. R. HALL Washington, D.

MINISTERS VISIT WASHINGTON Among the Baltimore ministers who attended the joint session of the Baltimore and Washington Baptist Ministerial Meetings in Washington Monday were R. vs. F. R. Williams P. C. Neal, R. T. Reed, J. W. Jones, D. G. Mack, W. W. Alleman, W. W. Aleman and D. F. Under read a paper PRICE THREE CENTS "LEAK" IN Y. M. C. A. PURCHASE Information as to Site for the New Building Leaks Out and Real Estate Dealer Reaps Harvest: A number of Baltimoreans expressed great surprise this week when the information was circulated that a "leak" had occurred in reference to the purchase of the property for the new Y. M. C. A. building at the corner of Dolphin and McCulloh street. From information that is regarded as reliable it was learned that only a few days before the deal for the property was made, a colored real estate manipulator having learned of the proposed location, bought the property at 1202 McCulloh street for $2,500 and two or three days after sold it to the representatives of the Y. M. C. A. for $3,000. The proposed site for the new building had been carefully guarded and its location had been only divulged to the members of the board of directors of the Association. Just how the leak occurred, no one has been willing to say, but in view of the fact that no one knew of the site but the directors, a member of that body would be the only one to be able to divulge the information. When approached by a representative of the Afro-American, Secretary S. S. Booker made the following statement: "The second house—1202 McCulloh street, was bought ten days before the Association had decided to buy, and the purchase price, I am told, was $2,500. The new owner sold the property to the Y. M. C. A. for $3,000. This was unfortunate, and I regret its occurrence." Since the transaction has become public there have been heard many expressions of regret that such an occurrence had happened in the purchase of a CHRISTIAN Association. Said a prominent member of the Association: "Of course, an action of this kind, while not illigitimate, certainly stretches the ethics of the real estate profession almost to the breaking point. The action is all the more deplorable in that it puts the entire board of directors in an unfortunate light. One thing is certain, some one divulged the location of the new building, and the real estate dealer who took advantage of it could hardly be expected to receive the approbation of the general public for the very clever manipulation. --- FOR DOUGLASS CELEBRATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS If the plans of the Frederick Douglass Centenary Committee carry, not only will there be a gigantic celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, but every colored school in the city will devote the last period of February 14th to exercises in honor of the event. A committee consisting of Dr. Ernest Lyon, Dr. A. L. Gaines, Secretary S. S. Booker, F. N. Cardozo and Rev. Charles E. Stewart, will wait upon the School Board at its meeting next Wednesday afternoon and ask that permission be given the schools to devote the last period of February 14th to exercises in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass. This action is the result of a resolution passed at the meeting of the centenary committee Tuesday afternoon at the Pythian Hall. Owing to the inability of Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, to be present, an effort will be made to have as the principal speaker, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, of New York. Mr. Anderson is probably one of the best known men in America, having come into the limelight when he received the appointment of the position of Internal Revenue Collector for the Wall Street District of New York. The next meeting of the committee will be held at the Pythian Hall on next Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. APPEAL FOR HAMPTON Boston, Mass., Jan. 16—Appeals fornds to carru on the work-of Hampton Institute was made last night bymen prominent in educational circlesat a meeting of the Hompton Association of Massachusetts held in theballroom of the Somerset. The meeting took the form of a memorial to thememory of General Armstrong, thefounder of the institution, it being the25th anniversary of his death. Thespeakers included-Prof. Francis G. Peabody, of Harvard, Prof. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeannes Foundation, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, and others.W. Cameron Forbes, former Governor of the Philippines, was the presidingofficer. PHYSICIAN'S VIEWS OF THE NEGRO AND TUBERCULOSIS Beville, N. C., January 11.—The only accepted theory that the Negro constitutionally weaker than the and therefore more susceptible tuberculosis is combated by Dr. Reynolds, one of the leading pasts in this section of the counc on tuberculosis. Dr. Reynolds has had an extensive notice among white and colored peo r more than twenty years, and studied tuberculosis among both. He asserts that colored people bring from tuberculosis should be braed with whites of the same comic status in life, as consumption. Poor man's disease. Such con- on, he says, will be unfavor- ote the Negro. He says that be- white men went to Africa there tuberculosis there. 2.00 tuberculosis discuss the question of tuberculosis. Reveloys says: "Tuberculosis is caused by a germ — the bacillus tuberculosis—which is present in every infected person, and is spread to others most frequently through gross carciness. The mediums through which the germs are most successfully distributed are the sputum, the secretions (from the bowels, kidneys), and milk (from tuberculous mothers and tuberculous cows). "It is a disease with a natural tendency toward recovery, when detained time and the body given a chance, let it is chronic in nature and prone, relapse. Tuberculosis is a distributed disease—then it is a precarious disease—and through prevention rather than cure we must hope for the best results in the mustard crusade against the white plague." Change the mental attitude toward the word 'tuberculosis'; let the people realize that all of us are tubercular, therefore fighting tuberculosis; and those who are fortified best, maintain their resistance best. "For 21 years I have been working with those suffering from tuberculosis, and every effort has been made toward the arrestment of the disease, but notwithstanding the advancement made in handling these cases, greatest good can be accomplished through prevention. "In fighting for my own race, I have striven just, as hard and as faithfully in that of the Negro, with such gratifying results that it is with peculiar interest that I write, by request, this article, showing what has been attained in Asheville within the past five years, with the hope that it may change the present mental attitude toward the high death rate and the prevalence of tuberculosis in the colored race. "The fundamental elements, call it protoplasm, cellular structure, or what you may, in the construction of the Caucasian and African, are the same. The colored race is naturally endowed with a healthy body—he possesses physical strength, great endurance, a cheerful disposition, a short memory for cruelty. He has a wonderful appeal and is by no means a poor sleeper, all of which are adjuncts to health. Why is it that a body so strong succumbs so easily to tuberculosis? "Tuberculosis is caused by a germ entering into the body and there causing the destruction of tissue. Now these germs throw off a poison (toxin) which injuries or destroys the body. The body, when thus attacked, through its natural process of resistance, imitates the counterattacks these germs or form anti-bodies for the purposes of destroying these germs or neutralizing their poisons. "A race that has been exposed to a disease for such a long period of time, as the white race has been to tuberculosis, has a greater resistance (native immunity) to that disease, for there are anti-bodies in the system waiting to attack the germs when they appear. It is easy for germs to destroy the body where there is little resistance. "Before civilized man made his advent into Africa there was no tuberculosis among the Negro race. Before that same civilized (?) man (who expectorated any and everywhere, spreading disease wherever he goes) came to Amerien, the Indians were free from tuberculosis, in almost every degree of aggression in almost exterminating the race. Freedom in these countries from this dreaded disease was not due to active immunity, nor to climate conditions, but to the absence of the germs of tuberculosis. The civilized races then are responsible for this disease in the Negro race and they should lend a helping hand until their powers of resistance are established. Though naturally endowed with a strong constitution, the Negroes, when coming in contact with the white race, had no protective forces (anti-bodies) within the body as did the white race, after 2,000 years' exposure. "There were 300,000 Africans in America in 1776. Today there are from eight to ten millions in the United States. This association, since 1776, coupled with the general advancement in the race, has done much toward lessening the ravages of this dreaded disease. The lack of resistance has yet a factor in the high death rate of tuberculosis among the Negro people. "The Negro death rate in the United States registration area in 1914 was 406.9 in 100,000 population; the white death rate was 122.9 in 100,000. The average Negro and white death rate was 146.3 in 100,000. "There are 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States and increasing in number all the time, a large factor in the spread or control of disease. Then it behooves us to be more analytical in beginnings, and we have the true facts in regard to their high death rate from tuberculosis as compared with that of the whites. Ascertain whether or not it is as fatal as we are led to believe." "Who can say how long it takes a race to establish partial resistance (impetuous resistance)?" "Who can say that the Negro has not developed that immunity?" our statistics, will account for several points in the Negroes' favor, yet we compare the Negro death rate with that of the white death rate. "Why not compare the indigent white with that of the Negro death rate? Correct this error and place the indigent white in the same class in regard to tuberculosis as that of the Negro death rate and there will be a different story. This readjustment will naturally aid in modifying our present ideas in regard to the selective fatality of tuberculosis among the Negroes. "Give justice where justice is due, and then we can proceed more intelligently with our preventive measures. "How we have fought tuberculosis in Asheville: "Through education. Dess. "Frequent articles written for the Negro people; frequent lectures to large gatherings. Asking their aid and cooperation in the fight against disease appeals to them and elicits their interest. They are good listeners and have respective and open minds. They are not antagonistic to progressive health measures (and this cannot be said of many whites who have had superior advantages)." "Educate them that they have less resistance to tuberculosis than other large races and why." "That going to bed early in the case of sickness does not mean going to bed to die, but early to bed means a near cut to health." "Tell them that medicines are good when intelligently prescribed, but are not always essential and often do harm." "Teach them that patent medicines are one of their greatest curses. "Teach them where the tuberculosis germ is and how to avoid it. "Teach them that the germ is non-motal—that it has to be carried to them. "Teach them that this disease is not inherited but the earlier it attacks the more fatal it is, on account of the body in the earlier period of life not having developed that power of resistance called partial immunity. "Teach them that the germ can only grow in an animal body—they should keep it of hoars. "Teach them that a person that has a cough and is carless with the sputum is dangerous—avoid him. "Teach them that expectorating (splitting) is a filth and dangerous habit—stop it itselfs and make others do the same. "Teach them that they must hold something before the mouth when coughing and expectorate into a cup sputum or rag that can be burned. "Teach them that a tuberculous patient expectorates 7,200,000,000 germs a day, which would reach, if placed end to end, 12 miles in distance. "Teach them that milk from tuberculous cows will give them tuberculosis. "In substantiation of the above remarks it would be of interest to have the statistics of Asheville in regard to her tuberculosis death rate for the past few years. "Ashville population is 25,000—white 18,750; Negro, 6,250. "Average death rate from tuberculosis in the white race, 122.9 in 100,000 population. "Average death rate from tuberculosis in the Negro race, 406.9 in 100,000 population. "Average death rate, white and colored, in the registration area, 146.8 in 100,000 population.

"This should be a stimulus to all of us." Maryland has produced a noble galaxy of famous black men, who not only contributed to the development of the dugong army of their own people, but likewise to the well being of the country itself. When all the names of distinguished black men, born in other Commonwealths are rehearsed, no three of them will loom larger than Frederick Douglas, Henry Highland Garnett, and Samuel Ringgold Ward. Not to know something of the personality, history, and work of these three great heroes of Maryland, is to deny one's self a real literary feast. In connection with the approaching celebration of the centennial of the birth of Frederick Douglas, it would be wise and helpful especially for Maryland teachers, as well as others, to acquaint themselves with the history of these men, as well as with that of other illustrious black sons of this state. In order to further the desirous end of George P. Bragg's author of "Men of Maryland" upon receipt of five dollars, offers to send, postpaid, to any address, ten copies of his book "Men of Maryland." Then, there are other characters mentioned in the book with which the rising generation should be acquainted, such as, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Daniel Coker, founder of Bethel Church, the late Bishop Holly, of the Episcopal Church, James W. C. Pennington, distinguished Presbyterian devine, and eminent educator, Harriet Tubman, the great scout and conductor of the Underground raidroad, Ira Frederick Aldridge, Bishops Handy, Wayman and Ward. Such useful information about black men who were mighty actors in their day and generation, if read by the youth of the race, must kindle their ambition, stir their pride, and furnish them with strong incentives to make men of themselves.

Baltimore honored itself in the splendid way in which Protestant and Catholic united to pay respects to Father Uncles in celebrating the 25th anniversary of his ordination. It is real refreshing to find once in a while a man who will do his duty regardless of consequences, and regardless of what others may think of him, politically or otherwise. It is in this connection that we wish to commend Governor A. O. Stanley, of Kentucky, who at the risk of his life awed a crowd of lynchers in a little town in his state last week. Lube Martin, a black man, was charged with murder, and like the usual proceedings in the South, a mob was formed to take the accused from the proper authorities and summary lynch him, and it was to this crowd that the Governor appealed and in these noble words: "A little more than a year ago," he said, "I put my right hand upon the Bible and called to God to witness that as Chief Magistrate of Kentucky and supporter of the law, I would maintain its integrity. I have come here today to plead with you to allow the law to take its course and to declare that I am here to uphold the law and to protect this court with my own body if necessary." A few more Governors like this and a few more men who will stand and be counted on the side of right and law and lynching will be banished from the South and from all other parts of the country as well. All honor to Governor A. Q. Stanley of Kentucky. STRANGER THAN FICTION It is said that large theatres in Southern cities having a goodly number of colored patrons employ a colored doorman whose business it is to recognize the very fair colored people when they enter, and see to it that they do not find seats among the whites. Otherwise such fair ones might take advantage of their color to violate the segregation law. Several news dispatches of the week indicate how difficult is the matter of telling whether a person is of one race or the other. In Chicago, a sixty year old colored woman appeared before the Juvenile Court to show reason why a fourteen year old white girl should not be taken from her and placed under the supervision of the Court. Seven years ago, the child's actor parents gave her into the hands of "Mammy" Jackson, who during this time has treated and educated the child as if it were her own. No suspicion that the child was not colored was aroused until recently. In Louisville, Kentucky, the state registrar of vital statistics is urging greater care in the registration of Negro births. He has found out that numbers of quadrons "cannot be distinguished from white." The result is a "peril" to Kentucky for soon "Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be marrying people having Negro blood in their veins." What the state registrar is after is to avoid any such case coming up in his state like the following from Louisiana: "Frank Joubert, manager of the New Orleans City Belt Railroad, was attacked on the ground that he was a Negro." Suit was started to have his name removed from the roster of white Democrats. Mr. Joubert contested the suit and denied that he had any Negro ancestry. "For a hundred years the family had been regarded as colored. Members had been marked "C." or "Col." on the church registers and in the colored book of the St. Louis Cathedral. The archives of the churches were scrutinized and learned scholars were employed. Mr. Joubert went so far as to present as a witness ex-President Carbajal of Mexico. Finally it was proved that the ancestress from whom the Negro blood was reputed to have been inherited was unmistakably an Indian woman. "Mr. Joubert won his fight, which is having far-reaching consequences. A large family had been ostracised by the New Orleans whites for generations because of this mistaken suspicion of Negro blood. The victory and the dramatic evidence which preceded it are, according to a correspondent, inspiring other families isolated from similar causes to prove their blood in court." Quite as strange as these cases is another wonder tale also from Chicago of a wealthy couple who adopted six months ago a baby they thought to be white. They now approach the superintendent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children with the complaint that their supposedly white baby has turned dark and in addition has curly hair. All of the above cases indicate how fine the dividing line is between the colored race and the white race. If the colored people in some miraculous way could contrain to bleach their skins white over night, it would not take a minute longer than this to solve the vexing race problem. The Washington Eagle, which has been conducting an investigation into the administration of Morgan College and Howard University by white presidents, comes to the rather tardy conclusion that a first rate colored president would be twice the value to the schools as a second rate white man. APPOINTMENT TO SCHOOL BOARD The appointment of Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York, to the Metropolitan Board of Education for five years, although coming at the end of Mayor Mitchell's administration, is nevertheless surely a recognition of the claims of a large colored population for a representation in this branch of the city government. The success of the friends of the colored man in convincing the mayor of a large city that there must always be a feeling of responsibility before any member of the school board can adequately represent a group of the population, recalls the effort of the Afro-American to secure the appointment of a colored representative to the local school board, when a vacancy occurred last spring. However, Mayor Preston could not be gotten to see it that way. Clearly it is just as necessary to have a colored member to conserve the educational interests of his race as it is to have a colored member of the City Council to guard his political interests. The fundamental principle of American government; that no man is good enough to represent another without his consent—applies in the one case as in all others. Now that Washington, with two colored members on the Board of Education, and New York with its single member, are ahead of Baltimore, the local population will need to bestir itself doubly at the next vacancy on the School Board. KENTUCKY'S GOVERNOR The continued indictments of the Lima, Ohio Grand Jury returned against those involved in the lynching of a citizen of that place, make it evident that the lawlessly inclined will take a second thought hereafter before taking the law into their hands. While this is one method of deterring lynching, the governor of Kentucky, A. O. Stanley, showed his follows a brand new wrinkle last Tuesday, when he appeared in the crowded courtroom at Murray, Kentucky, and announced his intention "to uphold law and order and to protect this court—with my own body if necessary." The fact that the Kentucky militia was mobilized on the Mexican border, caused Governor Stanley to rely on only those forces that he could deputize in Murray. The summoning of seventy-five citizens to prevent an out break at all costs was the best evidence to the angry mob that their chief executive meant what he said. Certainly it is not good to say that the arrival of the state's chief executive did not have a sobering effect upon a crowd that threatened the life of the Judge unless he proceeded immediately to the trial of Lube Martin, charged with killing a white man, but had it not been for the seventy-five deputies, violence would have been done with the Governor an unwilling onlooker. There have been two other lynchings in Kentucky, that Governor Stanley was not able to stop, because he hesitated to take the Bull by the horns. It is sometimes the very best thing to take bulls or bull necked people by the horns. DUNBAR'S MOTHER Over in Washington last Monday night a dignified ex-slave sat upon a platform with members of Congress and prominent citizens of both races while speakers eulogized the genius of her late son, and dedicated a $50,000 schoolhouse named after him. Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, mother of the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, was the central figure of a notable gathering. Altho she did not trust herself to talk and simply acknowledged the ovation of the crowd with a bow, she informed the chairman of the meeting that her feelings were those of sadness mixed with joy and not a little pride. Mrs. Dunbar is not always unwilling to talk. Those who have taken the trouble to visit her in her Dayton home remark her cordiality-and her gladness to tell of her famous son. She is said to have told him many of the old southern tales as a boy which he later used in his poems. The poet got THE AFRO-AMERICAN not only his ideas from her, but his witty sayings that are a charming feature especially of his dialect verse. It is said that one cannot be in the presence of Mrs. Dunbar for five minutes without having a hearty laugh about something. "In the morning" is a lasting memorial of the poet to the endless good nature of a fond mother. Mrs. Dunbar is also a lover of poetry and in her early life she many an hour on the floor of her master's study listening while he read. Perhaps this accounts for the early budding genius of her son, at any rate it would partly explain her pride in him as she sat the central figure at the dedication exercises. President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, frankly and flatly tells Congress if it passes the Anti-Strike Law he will be counted upon as to be one of those to violate it. President Gompers and the railroad men camped in Washington and compelled Congress to pass the eight hour law, and now the Federation of Labor defies Congress to pass another law. Inasmuch as the greatest law-making body of the country is dominated, why not adjourn Congress and turn the whole business over to the Federation of Labor and let it make the laws and be done with it? Has this county reached that point where anarchy is about to begin? This is a more serious question that appears on its face. It will have to be met and it had as well be met now as at any other time. The element element is going entirely too far. If Mr. Roosevelt is not filling up his Ananias club, it is possibly because he has not had the chance to get the news from Washington. Tom Lawson has either gotten himself up a big tree or he has gotten some one else up there and there is no mistake about that either. Wonder what has become of the old fashioned revivals that used to be held about this time every year when hundreds of converts were brought into the church. Revivals like a good many other things seem to have gone out of fashion. Preachers are too busy attending to other matters, perhaps? With the State on one hand, the city and the United States on the other, a man who happens to be doing any kind of business or making a little money will be wondering whether he is working for himself or working for the various governments under which he lives. After all would it not be better for Uncle Sam, Lord Baltimore and the various other functionaries to take over all the various industries and hire the people to run them. It might be better for the people in the long run. TENDERED A SURPRISE A lovely surprise was given Miss Florence M. Kelly on Saturday, January 6th at 1005 Madison avenue in honor of her birthday.

PLANS COMPLETE FOR HOSPITAL DISPENSARY At a meeting of the Staff of Provident Hospital, held at the Hospital Building Tuesday afternoon, plans were completed for the opening of the Free Dispensary. A number of the physicians were present and pledged their support to the movement. Arrangements have been made to start the dispensary on or about January 29. A sign on the door of the Hospital announcing that the dispensary would be open from 2 to 4 every day has already attracted the attention of passersby, and a number have stopped in for in for minor treatments. At the meeting Tuesday, Dr. Harry F. Brown, superintendent of the Hospital, urged the doctors to get out and hustle in order that the venture might be a success from the start. "We must follow along the lines that have made and are making other institutions of this character a success," said he, "and it is up to the doctors to make the initial movement. Every effort is made, not only to get patients for John Hopkins and other hospitals, but to follow up the cases after they are discharged from the institution. Nurses are sent out once a month to see how the discharged patients are getting along, and for a least recurrence of sickness, they are urged to return to the hospital for treatment. In many cases it is a fact that these patients prove valuable material for the students at the hospital. "We, too, must urge the people to patronize Provident Hospital when the need hospital treatment, and a campaign of education must be inaugurated to teach the public that at Provident Hospital they are under the constant care of practicing physicians and not students." In concluding Dr. Brown announced that the druggists of the city had promised hearty cooperation in the work of the dispensary and would give whatever time was required of them. QUIETLY MARRIED Miss M. Alethaey Cooper and Mr. Samuel J. Henson were quietly married by Rev. Daniel G. Hill at the home of the bride, 1814 McCulloh St., on January 17th at 8:30 o'clock.

Church, members and the committee in charge of the service last Sunday at 3 P. M. wish to thank the pastor, Dr. Charles E. Stewart, B. D., of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church for the interesting and soul-stirring sermon that he delivered; also for the presence of his full choir which conferred such a great talent and skills of the ushers under the direction of Mr. Sorrell.

Then the liberal collection raised by Mr. Alfred-Nixon and another member of his church for the benefit of the church. Again we thank you. ANNUAL QUEEN'S RALLY OF WINNIPEG A. M. E.

ULJ SEPARATE OLORED BROTHER The colored membership of the M.E. church should seek to be set up as an independent church was made by Dr. John F. Goucher in address before the M. E. Minister meeting (white). Monday. He was making various aspects of the recent conference here on the union of M.E. Church North and the M.E. Church South. After asserting that there was no uncontainable obstacle in the way of union of the two denominations, said that, were he a colored man, would advise an independent church for the 346,000 colored members of the Northern branch, stating that it is his belief that they wouldgress faster. sold colored men in conversation him had said while they believed colored man would ever be elected ment of the United States, they against any constitutional proh- of the same. He then said the used regional general conferences they met together would choose residing officer, the inference being that no colored man would ever be chosen to preside. Declaring that this was an age of influence and economy, he asserted that the colored contingent had never known the same results as whites for the moneys expended on them, in- nucing the Freedmen's Aid Society in the Church Extension Society. Some of the whites, he went on to say, would demand that their colored prechren show equal results, or be left out of the equation. The A. M. E. Zion and the Colored Methodist Churches, he continued could not offer an asylum for the colored members of the M. E. Church, that would offer them an excelent chance as an independent church, asserting that the colored ministry of the M. E. Church was superior in every way to the ministry of colored churches, due to the tutelage and the high moral standards of their white receptors, he pictured colored Methodists as an independent body exerting an uplifting influence on other colored denominations. He averred the Northern Methodists had never dealt with the Negro contingent with a statesmanlike attitude or according to its needs, and that the race membership had never had an opportunity to show its manhood by making mistakes and correcting the same. An independent church, he said, would give this opportunity. The M. E. Church, he said, only exerted an advisory influence over the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, while the bishops of the Northern branch exerted both an advisory and authoritative influence over the colored membership. He then asserted that the M. E. Church would give financial aid to an independent colored denomination for a number of years until that church would get on its feet, and that arrangements would be made for the transfer of church and school property to the same. Opposed to the stand of Dr. Goucher for an independent colored church are many white Methodists, including many of the maintainers in the South who may be lost to Methodism entirely if their church unite with the Southern branch. Among the colored ministers who heard Dr. Goucher were Revs. N. M. Carroll, G. E. Curry, D. W. Hays, J. C. Love, Ernest Lyon, S. R. Hughes and S. A. Virgil. AN ENJOYABLE EVENING Mr. William E.

BY MARGARET LACK THE PERSONAL ATTITUDE As I was wondering what I should write about, and had almost made up my mind to just send along a few household helps and receipts with directions for a dainty face edge my plans were changed entirely by a caller who made this remark—"She would be a dear, if she would only fix her hair a little different, and not wear her dresses so tight across the hips and as we are such good friends I told her so"—about an intimate friend of hers. I said, "oh dear! did you really say that her?" "Of course I did" was the reply, "I'm sure it was nothing to get angry about." "But it was such a personal remark" I said. 1916 WAS BABY YEAR Nineteen hundred and sixteen was Baby Year. That was settled once for all by the two thousand and more communities scattered over every State in the Union which observed the first nation-wide Baby Week. Forty-seven of the 50 cities with more than 100,000 population, and 700 villages and rural communities with less than 2,500 population had Baby Weeks. If I baby took kids fair to an even bigger, more worth while celebration than last year's, but 1916 will keep the distinction of being the year when each community's provision for the welfare of its babies was generally recognized as a serious civic responsibility. The Children's Bureau at Washington has already received numerous in- "Oh she knows me and I always believe in telling folks the truth" she said. "She never gets angry at anything I say." "But how would you have liked her to say such a thing to you," I asked. "And how do you know she didn't mind it; because she smiled and passed it by, is no sign the remark would or did not wrinkle and cut pretty deep. We learn not to let people see all we feel." "Well, don't you think some one should tell her" I was asked. "No I do not," I replied, "my opinion is if she had wanted to know how she looked or if her hair or dress was to your liking she would have asked about it." But my caller only laughed and said "If people must dress unbecomingly, then some one near to them should them to them or expected the told of it. In fact when we have a fault we certainly must expect to be told about it." It may be all true, but I still think there is a way to do or suggest such things, without deliberately hurting people's feelings by being so blunt and abrupt. Unasked advice is the bane of people's lives. It is irritating and makes you feel as though you would like to shake the person who is so generous with their advice. I know we often start or intend to do things that we have our doubts about, but if left alone our conscience and common sense combined will steer us pretty straight. How many unnecessary things people tell us. Suppose you did marry too young or wait until you were rather old or perhaps felt so displeased not to marry at all, do you think it helps matters any or makes you like any one else better for being told about it. If you are in a crowd among a set of gay young folks, would you feel that you loved one of the girls any better, when she unthinkingly suggests your age by saying "I don't mind bish—the man she is engaged—talking to you, because I know he is just a boy to you" or "I don't mind you dancing with him because I know you consider us just kids." When you have bought, as you think, a perfect peach of a dress, and have some near relations tell you "don't wear that dress. It is too young for you; it looks too kiddish"—or perhaps you have too dear of a hat, and along comes your dearest friend and says "oh, what a lovely hat, but don't you think it a little too settled looking for some one your age." One day a little lady I knew wanted to get a pretty white dress for evening wear. She was a little dear I thought. Her complexion was a lovely olive and her eyes like stars. She had a sister who was almost a blonde. My little lady was so enthused over the planning of this beautiful evening dress that she thought every one would be as enthusiastic as she was; but her dearest relative—a younger sister—said "oh dear, you in white! Why what do you want with white, you would look lovely in a dark color, but for goodness sake don't get white. Now Ellen looks lovely in white but you are too dark." How much interest do you think was taken in an evening dress after that? In a poor world to live in if everybody would stop to consider other people's feelings and think it is not worth while to make a sick person feel so much worse when we can put them on the road to recovery and give them bright cheerful thoughts by being clever, witty, sympathetic and above all considerate. But how few of us are considerate of other people's faults, we can so easily see their faults, and it is so very easy to say just what you think without stopping to consider whose feelings we are ruffling or if the person has any feelings to ruffle. We haven't given it a thought; but why shouldn't we? The world seems a pretty hard place to live in sometimes, and troubles real and imaginary pile up so fast and get so high that when we stop to look we become appalled at the things we have to overcome before we strike solid ground. Don't you think we have enough to overcome and to think of and to worry along with, without being over-loaded with unnecessary advice and unasked? We should be told, you say—Do you know how to know our faults—or do you think we are unaware of our little short comings? We know perfectly well we are not faultless, but don't you think if we need advice from relatives or friends that we'll ask for it? When things go wrong and there seems no way out, and we are on the verge of giving up, we know where to seek the advice we crave and the help. But in giving advice and always speaking our mind regardless of other people's feelings you will find that people who have this personal habit are not always the people who wish to be unkind, but are the ones who lack good breeding. But nevertheless our friends and relatives think they are privileged characters—and I've often heard remarks of one relative to another that it has made you wish you were at liberty to speak your mind to the person who has assumed the personal attitude with such complacency. We all have our little vanities and though we often smile at a pln prick, it hurts just the same and we certainly do not regard the person very highly who has administered the prick to our vanity. But did you ever notice how quickly offended the person becomes who indulges in personalities if the person ingrudient should retaliate? But it is seldom the injured person ritalates—why—because they do not care to come down to such a low level. They are on a higher plane, hence the ability to smile and adopt the impersonal attitude and the ability to pass over the sting that often rankles pretty dean. HAIR VINYL TRADE MARK FREE!

That was settled once for all by the two thousand and more communities scattered over every State in the Union which observed the first nation-wide Baby Week. Forty-seven of the 50 cities with more than 100,000 population, and 700 villages and rural communities with less than 2,500 population had Baby Weeks. The 1917 Baby Week bids fair to be an even bigger, more worth while celebration than last year's, but 1916 will keep the distinction of being the year when each community's provision for the welfare of its babies was generally recognized as a serious civic responsibility. The Children's Bureau at Washington has already received numerous inquiries concerning the 1917 Baby Week, and the Bureau is making the following suggestions: Have your Baby Week from the 1st to the 6th of May, if possible. This date has been agreed upon by the Eureuena and the General Federation of Women's Clubs as the time best adapted to the varying conditions of different States. Remember the older babies. As one stated it: It requires only 12 months for a baby to become 1 year old and no longer subject to the hazards of "infant mortality," but there are still many risks for him to encounter; he is still obviously helpless, although increasingly churning, and his parents are as eager to him as old of happy, as desious of sound advice as they were last year. Open out the 1917 Baby Week to include all children still at home with their mothers. Remember the mothers. Well-cared for, healthy mothers are necessary for the health and happiness of their babies. Find out what your community is doing to ensure to every mother skilled advice and adequate care before her baby is born and during her confinement, and give the importance of bringing the mother a prominent place in the educational work of the campaign. And one word to communities where infantile paralysis has been epidemic: Mothers should be urged to leave the baby at home during Baby Week. Any feature of the campaign involving the bringing together of numbers of babies must of course be omitted, but such features are not essential to the interest and success of a campaign. And the opportunity for giving information to the proper physical training of children with paralyzed muscles. The Children's Bureau has a bulletin of suggestions for Baby Week campaigns which may be had upon request and it is now preparing a revised edition of the interesting new features reported from the 1916 campaigns.
