THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXV No. 36 CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD MEETING Bishop Heard Elected As New Head To Succeed Bishop Coppin. SECT. WATSON REPORTS Gives Good Account Of His Stewardship During Past Year. Washington, D. C., April 25—In his report to the Board of Church Extension of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, today, at headquarters, 1555 Northwestern street, N. W., Secretary B. F. Wasson called attention to the large number of people leaving the South and making their way to the North, and said that the church should follow them with church homes and with ministers to preach. Backing up what the Secretary had said the Board at once passed a resolution approving $1,000 and asking each of the other boards, Financial Educational and Missionary, together with the Woman's Missionary Society to make similar appropriations and provide for the appointment of a commission to see that the money was expended in the organization of missions, securing church homes and playing the ministers, and so sent to be spent for the expense of the commission. Bishop Levi J. Coppin called the Board to order at 10 o'clock and conducted ceremonials following which the Bishop made a short talk in which he spoke of the failure to appoint a new board at the last general conference in time to be confirmed by that body. It was therefore necessary for the old board to elect their successors in office and tender their resignations. He resigned as chairman of the board and Bishop W. H. Heard was elected. Rev. Charles Bundy, of Ohio, was elected vice chairman and Rev W. H. Peck, of St. Louis, recording secretary. The following members were present: C. P. Cole, New York; A. J. Wilson, North Carolina; Charles Bundy, Ohio; J. Jones, Illinois; W. H. Peck, Missouri; J. T. Hall, Georgia; L. A. Logan, South Carolina; A. H. C. Durden, Mississippi; J. B. T. Carr, Alabama; Gi. E. Tong, Texas; J. M. Wise, Florida; James Jones, Arkansas; W. H. Jones, Canada; Thomas Hyenas, West Africa; W. B. Forten, South Africa. Among the visitors introduced were Secretary John H. Isawhins of the Financial Board; Pew, C. H. Stepeau, Baltimore, and Charles Stewart. The report of Secretary Watson cash with every phrase of church extension work, and did not lose sight of the war conditions and the high cost of living, also the condition of the various sections from which the people are leaving. The financial summary is as follows: Receipts: Dollar money, $17117.26; Children's day collection, $802.58; Burial loans returned, $2106.84; interest returned on loans, $1575.00; interest on special account, $75.00; confidence anniversary collections, $51.00 special receipts, $193.00; balance from 1188, 1174.61; total receipts March 11, 1911, $37,805.21. Disbursements: By regular loans, 1194.88; regular donations, $1496.00; to department oblations, $5654.99; general expenses, $1503.50; total disbursements $16,656.25. The assets of the board including loans, interest, furniture valuation and a cash balance of over twenty thousand dollars is $994,647.37, with liabilities amounting to a little over five thousand dollars. BISHOP L. N. BOSS ARRIVES New York. April 26—Bishop I. N. Ross arrived at quarentine late Saturday evening, and arrived in this city early Sunday morning. He was met by his wife and a number of friends. By the courtesy of customs officials he was permitted to land before the examination of his baggage. He attended services at Bethel A. M. E. Church later in the day and was given a welcome by the pastor. Rev. B. W. Arnett, and the editor of the Christian Recorder, Dr. R. R.. Wright. Bishop left this country January 10th last and arrived at Las Palmas, sailing on a Spanish ship from Porto Rico. He held a conference at Sierra Leone on March 4th in Freetown. He returned to this country by way of the Canary Islands, sailing in the Norwegian ship. Serille. The Bishop expressed himself as well pleased with his trip and with conditions as he found them in Africa. There was some shortage of food in Liberia, it is said, caused by the pro-German sentiment in that country, but this seems to have a good effect, forcing the country to rely greatly upon its own resources which have finally overcome considerable of the troubles of the little republic. The Bishop attended the meeting of the Missionary Board which was held here this week, over which Bishop J. Albert Johnson presided. TO OBSERVE HEALTH SUNDAY New York. April 27—A city-wide observance of Health Week will begin here Sunday, meetings being held in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Dr. William Pickens, of Baltimore, will be one of the speakers. Rev. W. S. Brooks A Man Of Wide Experience. The Rev. W. Sampson Erroks, D. D., the new pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, is not entirely unknown to many citizens of this city of thirty years or more ago. He is a native of Maryland, having been born in Calvert county, at Lower Malboro, over 52 years ago. He attended school at Prince Frederick-town, and afterward entered the Centenary Biblical Institute, now known as Morgan College from which he graduated in theology, and matric- REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS plated in the collegiate department, which course he pursued until the end of his sophomore year. He began his public career as pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Minneapolis. Minn., where he spent six years, at intervals of two years apart. Here he built two churches. St. James and St. Peters. From here he made his first trip abroad and his extensive travels in Europe resulted in a book which he was pleased to term "What a Black Man Saw in a White Man's Country." On his return from abroad he was ordained by Bishop A. W. Wayman and sent to Wayman Chapel. Chicago. While there he married Mrs. Susan Williams, of Glenco, Ill. During his pastorate at St. Stephen's Church. Chicago. he was sent as a delegate to the Fourth World's Sunday School Convention, at Jerusalem, representing the African Methodist Episcopal Church. His book "Footprints of the Black Man in the Holy Land" tells the story of his experiences during this trip to the Holy Land. At different times Dr. Brooks has been employed as a lecturer under the auspices of the Chicago Lyceum Bureau; the Cooperative Lyceum Bureau, of Omaha, Nebraska, and several other lecture bureaus. While pastoring at Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Brooks was called to St. Paul A.M. E. Church. St. Louis, Mo., then struggling under a heavy debt. After organizing his forces, his first rally netted the unprecedented sum of $5,000. One year later in the same church he raised the gigantic sum of $7,541.85. At the conclusion of his pastorate in St. Louis, a reception was given Dr. Brooks, at which were present the Mayor of the city, the congressman of the district and several other prominent city officials. In an address the mayor said that Dr. Brooks' leaving St. Louis was a positive loss to the city that would be felt for many years to come. At the last general conference of the A. M. E. Church, held in Philadelphia, Dr. Brooks was a prominent candidate for the bishopric and received a number of votes. It is confidently predicted by all who know him that Bethel Church is particularly fortunate, in securing the services of this eminent divine. A WEDDING RECEPTION Daylea, Md., April 26—On Saturday evening of last week a large number of guests attended the wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Washington, who were quietly married at St. Joseph's College, Philadelphia, on February 15th. A very enjoyable trip was spent and the happy couple were the recipients of many handsome presents, including of dishes from the Original Rod and Gun Club, and a library electric reading lamp from the Ladies' Auxiliary. Mr. Washington is very active in the educational affairs of the State, being a member of the Maryland State Teachers' Association. RAISE $1,000 AT ST. MARY'S At a two-week's bazaar which began in St. Mary's Hall under the auspices of the members of the church, on Easter Monday night, nearly one thousand dollars was realized, with a number of reports yet to be heard from. Some form of entertainment was given every night during the bazaar. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917 COLORED CITIZENS SHOW PATRIOTISM Men and Women of all Classes Pledge Lasting Fidelity To Stars and Stripes TELEGRAPH Pres. WILSON Patriotic sentiments from Negroes are being intered all over the country and the daily press is giving these utterances wide publicity. At a big meeting in Indianapolis the colored citizens adopted the following resolution: "Whereas: As Americans of color, we have always, from Bunker Hill to Carizalz, fought for American rights and her sacred institutions; be it "Resolved: That we pledge our unqualified support to our government in this crisis, and express the ambition which we all possess: that we cover the opportunity to again demonstrate our loyalty to our native land." A telegram covering the same was sent to President Wilson. Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, Dr. J. H. Ward, Gurley Brewer and Rev. Charles Sumner Williams were among the speakers. Nearly one hundred colored men in Minnesota and St. Paul have agreed to form a military company. Charles Sumner Smith, Spanish War veteran, is behind the movement. Over three hundred colored people in Norfolk a few evenings ago, met and pledged loyal support. The speakers included Rev. Charles S. Morris, Jr., and Eugene Schreier, a Hebrew. In a patriotic outburst, T. W. Thurston, superintendent of a large manufacturing concern at Kingston, N. C., says there are a million colored men in the United States awaiting service. They are saying to Mr. Wilson "Call us, arm us, give us a place at the front, and we will make America feel proud of her colored citizens or report to God the reason why." In an address at New Bedford, Mass., E. B. Jourdein described against race discriminations and traced the achievements of colored soldiers and sailors. He said in part: "From that historic summer's day in 1818, when black sailors trod the bloody decks of victory with Larry on Lake Erie, down to that memorable May day when Dewey's fleet, with blazing broadsides, swept triumphantly up Manila Bay, black American sailors had served in their country, without let of undermaintenance, to the glory of their country and the honor of their race. But when the army recruiting stations met colored be volunteers, with the announcement that their army would not need that no longer room for doubt that even in this solemn hour of national need the color line would be maintained. "Of all the varieties of races, comprising our American people, these of Negro extraction alone are under compulsory segregation. The colored American is the goat, and like a dread disease, he is isolated." "To kill our cup of bitterness to the brim, on top of rebuses by navy and army, came this vicious assault upon our reputation for patriotism. We do not know whether any colored Americans have been approached by German emissaries, we do know that whoever tried it would find our race—despite all we have suffered—the most barren soil in which to try and prognate the seed of treason. "Because we are Americans, we have unsparingly protested every discrimination against us, and denial of our rights. And as Americans we still do and ever shall protest so long as wrong exists and right is flagrantly denied to us. Thereby we only emphasize our loyalty and devotion to the first principles of Americanism." In Louisiana, Mississippi and other States the colored people have proclaimed themselves on the side of the government. In the course of a sermon on "The Why of the World-Wide War." Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, said recently: "The momentary wavering on the part of the masses of the colored people when war was declared with Germany has been changed to a great outburst of patriotism going up from racial centres all over the land. Both the conservative and the radical wings of the race unite in advising loyalty to the country in the present crisis. This is due to the leadership of the race. They realize the deeper significance of this world-wide war. It is the great titanic struggle for world liberty. As a race just emancipated and tasting the sweets of freedom we want it for all the world. As a result, the quota of colored men called for by the government will be more than met." The colored people of St. Louis observed "Loyalty Day" recently, while over 2,500 colored people attended a patriotic mass meeting at Tampa, Fla. They declared that 500 colored men could be recruited in Tampa. Frederick Simpson and Rev. M. A. Tolley "collared" Mayor Tillery, of Rocky Mount, N. C., a few evenings ago and had him speak before a big loyalty meeting. MANY CHANGES IN CITY PASTORATES BETHEL GETS NEW MAN Frederick, Md.

Warren of Detroit, Mich., Monday evening by Mr. William Mossell, at his residence 1931 McCulloh street. Mr. Warren is president of the Elijah McCoy Graphite Lubricating Company, of Detroit and has been in the East trying to interest railroads in the invention. During he evening a fine menu was served by Caterer Jenkins. Toasts were responded to by Mr. Warren, John W. Rich, J. A. Jaxon and Mr. Morsell. The guest of honor told of the many inventions of Elijah McCoy and gave some interesting sidelines on his career. Among those present were: Messrs. W. C. McCard, George W. McMechen, William White, John W. Rich, Henry Wilson, J. Henry Jenkins, William Wilson, Robert Fletcher, J. A. Jaxon, Clarke L. Smith, D. H. Murphy, J. L. Jenkins, Dr. Harry F. McCard, Albert Peck, Charles F. Woodland, W. L. Fitzgerald and Henry Lane Anderson, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Anderson, was struck by an automobile at the corner of Pressman and Pulton avenue and instantly killed last Friday afternoon. The little fellow was rushed to the Hahneman General Hospital on North Mount street, where an examination showed that he had died from a fractured skull. The body was at the home of his parents, 1839 N. Mount street, within a half hour after the accident. The chauffeur of the automobile, a white man named Haines, was arrested, but was released pending the action of the coroner's jury. The boy's father, his uncle, Mr. Charles Lane, and Mr. Jack Nelson Fortune, visited some of the white residents on Pulton avenue and made inquiries regarding the accident. The people interviewed did not know that their questioners were colored, and they are said to have been told that the automobile was going at a rapid rate. The news leaked out that the dead child's parents were colored, and the whites began an investigation. One reporter of a daily newspaper frankly told Mrs. Lane that he had been sent to find out whether or not the family was colored. Someone even telephoned over to the Maryland Club where Mr. Anderson is employed, to find out whether or not he was colored. A white coroner's jury viewed the remains of the boy at the Anderson residence Saturday night, and later brought in a verdict exonerating the white chauffeur. The automobile is said to be owned by a wealthy Jewish family. Over five hundred people, white and colored, visited the home and offered condolences to the bereaved parents. The child's parents are well known and have a wide circle of friends. The little fellow was unusually bright for his years and was in the first grade of the Carey Street School. His brother, James E. Anderson, escaped being killed when struck by an automobile sometime ago. A little sister is among the surviving relatives. Funeral services were held at his parents' home Monday afternoon, the Rev. G. A. Griffiths, officiating. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. The floral tributes were numerous and handsome. A few months ago the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Press, of 1816 Drudg Hill avenue, was struck and instantly killed by an automobile. MISSIONARY BOARD MEETS New York, April 27—The annual meeting of the Board of Foreign Missions of the A. M. S. Church, was held at 61 Bible House, Wednesday. Bishop J. Albert Johnson presided. Bishop W. W. Beckett, I. N. Ross and C. S. Smith, who have charge of the foreign work of the denomination were present. They, with Bishop John Hurst, Revs. R. R. Downs and S. A. Harris, were named as the committee on foreign work. Following the announcement of the various committees, Dr. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions, made his annual report. The total receipts for the year were $2.537.51. This with the balance of $5.654.32 at the beginning of the past fiscal year, made total resources of $8.191.83. Mrs. Mary F. Handy, of Baltimore, is one of the members of the Board. The visitors included Rev. A. L. Galnes, of Baltimore; Mrs. I. N. Ross, of Rashington, and Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Kansas. Y. M. C. A. ANNIVERSARY A large crowd attended the 24th anniversary services of the colored Y. M. C. A., at Bethel A. M. E. Church, last Sunday afternoon. Secretary Booker commenced the services at 4 o'clock sharp. The lower floor of the spacious church was well filled with men and women, boys and girls. Rev. P. Carter Neal, the first speaker, reviewed briefly the origin and early growth of the local organization. Mr. John Woodward rendered a special solo. Mr. J. A. B. Callis speke on the epochs in the association's progress. His talk was very timely and his outline of the work was very interesting. The glee club rendered several selections. President James W. Hughes after a few statements in reference to the work of the Association, presented Secretary Booker, who in a neat address introduced Mr. Charles S. Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., the speaker of the evening. Young Morris, who is still a lad, congratulated the men of Baltimore on their steady progress. Within a few moments he had proven to all who heard him that he had not been flattered either by the introduction or the press comments. More than once the audience burst into applause a. the end of some of his flights of eloquence. Young Morris made a lasting impression upon the audience and won a place among the platform sneakers in this section. PRICE THREE CENTS POSTSCRIPT!!! U.S. DOESN'T WANT NEGRO OFFICERS Prof. Spingarn Defeated in His Attempt To Get Camp For Training Them Will Declare Their Unwillingness To Fight Under White Officers (Special to the Afro-American.) Washington, April 27—In an interview with General Leonard Wood, Commander of the Department of the Southeast, Dr. J. E. Spingarn, who has been endeavoring to have a military training camp established for the training of colored officers for colored troops, was told that he could not accept colored men for training camps unless authorized by the War Department. Dr. Spingarn came to this city yesterday and was told at the War Department that General Wood is the commander of his department and can do as he sees fit. Dr Spingarn characterized this procedure as "dilly dalyling" and an attempt to get rid of him. This morning a committee consisting of Dr. Spingarn, Dean Kelly Miller, Prof. Wm. H. Cook and A. H. Grimke, called at the War Department and were there for a greater part of the day. Before going into the conference, Dr. Spingarn regarded the training camp proposition as hopeless unless some new light is thrown on the matter. The student body of Howard University have received information concerning the hopelessness of the camp proposition and have prepared a resolution that they will go to war reluctantly and unwillingly unless they are granted the privilege of training camps in order to provide colored officers for colored regiments. Should the result of the committee (which is now in consultation at the War Department) prove fruitless, the above resolution, it is said, will be passed and the entire student body will march to the War Department and make a demonstration.

The doctors will tell you what to do for your sick baby and will make a physical examination for the best and better babies. Woman's Department Edited By Margaret Black --- "Happy Days" There are so many things I want to say to you this week that I hardly know where to start. I've been among my friends for a little more than a week and living on the outside looking in only gives one a broader idea than the continual inside living. To me the days have been nappy days—nappy days that just made me think, so we really mean "nappy days?" Do we really know what nappy days mean? by days until. There are the young married couple who are building a cozy little homey house, with lots of room in it for love, and not one inch of room in it for anything that isn't love. Just the dear little home I want in exactly the one place in the whole wide world where I want it. It will have plenty of windows so as to have rooms full of sunshine and happiness. It will have lovely porches for moonlight nights and balmy evenings and fireplaces for dreaming and loving when the fire is glowing and the outside is cold and dread. It will have a closet or two and a cozy den. The rest of it I don't mind. We are going to have a garden right at the back and at the side where folks can see. I'm going to have an old-fashioned garden of all old-fashioned flowers, such as lilacs, snowballs, heliotrope, canterbury bells, lemon lilies, flags, and all along the walks will be just the sweetest roses that can be had, and then under a big sugar maple, we will *have* a hammock and a seat for two and we will forget all about bargain days and crowds, and photo-plays and apartments and the high cost of living. We will just live and dream—happy days. live and work Now here are the young married couple number two whose idea of happy days is a fine home in a big block on a popular street, a house all straight and severe with plenty of room and all conveniences—newly papered, painted and grained and furnished. Furniture or malogany and cherry—all electrical appliances, street cars convenient, the railroad station close by and an auto touring car.All this and the great city surging around them like a whirlpool. Then there is couple number three who must have just the dearest apartment in the city—steam heat, electricity, hall boys, white marble fronts, beamed living rooms, built-in bookcases, wall bedstores and time for clubs and dances and theatres. Three ideas of happiness. Can't you imagine the litter imp of jealousy and envy laughing at your ideas of happiness. Happiness—happy days. The man standing at the bar lifts his glass and turning to his friend says "Happy Days!" His friend laughs and replies "Happy Days:" Do you think they know what happy days mean. How the imp in the glass must have laughed to hear them. For the first man broke his mother's heart because he drank too much and when in his "cups" would abuse the one person in all the world who was his friend; and the other man is a murderer, because he also drank too much. Happy Days! Some things would be funny if they were not so tragic. "Happy Days!" said the mature woman with the rouged and powdered cheeks, and she too raised her gloss to the pretty girl across the table. "Happy Days" stammered the pretty girl as she blushed. Happy days! Did they ever know them? Are they happy now? The mature woman has no home. She has somewhere in the world a husband and children whom she deserted without a quam for a life of excitement and debauchery. And the young girl—yes, she can still blush though she has broken up the home that another girl as young as herself had planned and made possible, and beside her sits her partner in sin. Happy days! Do you think they have come to her—the days she wished for? How? Where? Thru whom? They certainly were not brought to her by the man who taught her to raise the glass to her lips and persuaded her to desert a loving father and fond mother, whose heart's desire she had always been. Happy days! How many of us ever think a person is happy unless he is laughing. And these friendships of ours that seem so to be trusted now—will they last always and forever? Are they really worth while? Upon what are they built—upon habit, selfishness, chance or something unworthy? Or do you really and truly like and respect the person for that which you know is really in his heart and in his brain? Isn't it lucky we are all so different, we human beings. 7: we—you and I —all of us understood each other, or could we understand each other, we would probably be the happiest people in the world. Such happy people. Such happy days! How the little imp must laugh sometimes when they hear us say it. Happy days. Things Worth Knowing When your blanket is worn at the top and foot, do not use the good part for an ironing blanket or table pads. Cut off the worn parts, bind the good parts with satin ribbon, and if not too much worn, put a wreath in the centre or stencil a border of rabbits or geese or ducks on it. They make excellent baby blankets. When sewing on hooks and eyes, or fasteners, pin a tape measure where the hooks are to go and sew them an inch apart. Then pin the tape measure on the opposite side and sew on the eyes. You will find in this manner you can do the work much quieter and it is less wearisome than measuring each one. Perhaps you are making your children's summer clothes and bewailing the fact that they insist on growing out of their clothes so fast that you can hardly keep them properly dressed. And then you would like to use last summer's dress this summer as it is good enough for attemtions but the sleeves are entirely too short and Mary or Alice has used the scraps that were left for doll clothes. Too provoking, isn't it, because the hen could be made narrower or let out entirely and faced—but oh these sleeves. Now the best way to provide for this is in the cuffs. Cut the cuffs about one-third wider than wanted, then stitch one side to the sleeve and sew sleeve and cuff seam together before sewing other side of cuff to sleeves. Turn sleeve wrong side out and turn the extra width of cuff and whip to sleeve. When the sleeve is to be lengthened, it is an easy matter to take out the whipping stitches, let down the cuff and whip it into place again. Buy lemons when cheap and store in a box of sawdust. They will keep fresh for weeks. Paper in which butter, margarins or lard has been wrapped should be kept and used as a lining for cake tins and as a covering for a pudding which is to be steamed, and for wrapping up sweet roly-polies before putting them into a cloth to be boiled. These papers are all ready without any more greasing so there is a very great saving of both time and labor. A tiny pinch of carbonate of soda well stirred into the milk as soon as it arrives will help to keep it sweet in hot weather. RECIPES Six medium sized potatoes or yams and four large apples or six small ones. Scrub and wash the potatoes and put on to boil without peeling. While the potatoes are cooking peel and cut the apples into eighths, removing the core. Take two cups of water and one cup of sugar and boil until it spins a thread or becomes a good syrup. Then add the apples and cook until clear without stirring as they should remain whole. When they are done, remove from the syrup and stand aside—the juice drained from them can be poured back. Add a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Now add your sweet potatoes which have been previously skinned and cut in quarters. Allow to cook in syrup for ten minutes. Take up the potatoes and put in a dish—empty the apples over the top of the sweet potatoes and pour the syrup over all. This is enough for six people. If yams are used there will be very little juice left as most of the syrup will be absorbed. Sweet potatoes do not absorb the syrup like yams. For those who like the syrup, if yams are used, add one-half cup more of water and one-quarter cup more of sugar.

THE WEEKLY SERMON By Elder G. P: Rodgers The Meaning of the Sanctuary. On the tenth day of the seventh month the greatest work connected with the earthly service was staged. Nine days before this, a trumpeter called the attention of the people to this solemn occasion and the Bible records a stirring time in the camp of Israel, Lev, 23:23-29. The order of the day was great searching of the heart, afflicting the soul, (fasting according to Ps. 69: 10 and Ezra, Sr.21) and a concentration of the mind solely upon eternal things. These were days of deep concern, for the High Priest would take the blood of the animal in past the holy into the holiest of all, and there before the Shechahim, plead for the sins of Israel. The High Priest represented Jesus, and the blood of the animal represented the blood of Jesus. The service was only a typical one, pointing to the real heavenly service, in which Jesus would take His own Father plead for them whom He is not ashamed to call His brethren. Now dear friends, the earthly high priest did not always, every day in the take part in this service, it was done once and only every year, and in the closing scene of the year's work. So Jesus, the true High Priest will not always, forever, true this age and other age stand before His Father in the Most holy part of the heavenly building and there plead for the sins of humanity. Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself Heb., 9:26. Once in the end of the world will he carry His own blood into the holy of holies, and there plead for the right to bloot away the sins of the overcomer. To ancient Israel this work, carried on in a figure was very solemn, and to us, while the work goes on in truth and reality, rests a greater responsibility for heart searching and careful living. This great work of cleansing the sanctuary was shown Daniel, he said the judgment was set and the books were opened and in Chapter 8 the angel told him the time that the sanctuary would be cleansed. Next week we will take up. Mr. L. Lehrman VanNockay, of 2115 Druld Hill avenue has returned from Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel D. Hayward spent Sunday in Frederick.

It is to be hoped that the mothers of this city, the pastors and the physicians will give all aid possible in making Baby Week, which commences Monday, a success. The instruction that will be given at the various meetings which will be free to all, will no doubt be the means of saving the lives of a number of babies during the coming hot weather. In saving the babies we are saving the race. We can all help in this very worthy cause. Some fool Southerner comes out in the paper and says this is a white man's country. Just by what right or authority the claim is made we do not know. One thing, however, we know, that the foot-killer has not been on the job around where he lives lately. As to the divine right of any man or set of men to make such foot claims, we responsibly refer to Mr. Alex. Romanoff, late boss of all the Russians and some other places. But the fool we will always have with us so why worry? A GOOD TIME TO GET TOGETHER The annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be held in Washington next month, would be an excellent time for the leaders of the race to get together and formulate some plans looking towards a better condition of affairs and to let those in authority and the people of the country generally know where we stand on the questions now confronting us. The migration of our people form the South is a serious matter for our consideration. What to do to help these people, to find homes for them; to protect them from the sharks that lie continually in wait for them, and to see to it that they do not constitute a problem in sections where they make their homes, is worthy of the best efforts and consideration of our very best leaders. Taking this, view of the matter would it not be a good thing for the National Association to invite the cooperation of the thinking men and women of the race, outside of their own organization, at this annual meeting? We feel sure that not a few of them would gladly help in any movement of this kind. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT "Democracy, 1... The political system in which government is directly exercised or controlled by the people collectively: government by the people "President Lincoln defined Democracy to be 'The government of the people, by the people and for the people.' "2. A commonwealth in which the people AS A WHOLE legislate and choose executive and judicial officers, either (1) directly, as in some of the ancient Greek states and many towns in the United States (PURE DEMOCRACY); or (2) through elected representatives, as in every state in the United States (Democratic Republic)." a democracy, where the people are the people to inform*. Blackstone, Commentaries. "3. Political and regal equality; a state of society without class distinction made or favored by law or custom DIMOCRAT "One who favors a government controlled by the people, or one who believes in political and legal equality." The above extracts are taken from the Standard Dictionary, and in view of recent statements by President Wilson, we are led to believe that he has fully informed himself as to the true meaning of the word democracy, when he tells the people of these United States and in fact the people of the whole world, that the present war in Europe is a war for pure democracy; that the time has passed for an autocratic government and that the people of all countries should have a part in the government and not be governed by a single individual. In other words, the present war, upon which he has entered and pledged our entire resources of men and money, is not for money or agrandizement, or even for revenge for the sinking of our merchant ships by the U-boats of Germany, but for the liberties of the peoples of those European governments who have been for centuries under the domination of autocratic governments. This is a beautiful theory. It is well that the close of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century such noble words should be uttered, and that the fetters of those people who have been bound hand and foot for centuries should be stricken off and that the reign of freedom should begin; that every man should have the chance to be an to do and to assist in the government under which he lives; that all men should have the "inleanable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," We repeat, this is a beautiful theory, but we do not believe that Mr. Wilson believes in this theory for the United States of America. It is clearly a case of the "other man." Will some one tell us just how long Mr. Wilson has been a convert to TRUE DEMOCRACY as outlined in the Standard Dictionary: "of a government directly exercised and controlled by the people collectively." "A democracy where the right of making laws resides in the people at large. Political and legal (not social) equality; a state of society without class distinction made or favored by law or custom." If Mr. Wilson believes this, then why does he not practice it at home and among his own people? If we are correctly informed, there is now in the Supreme Court of the United States a question dealing with the right of men to purchase, own and live in property wherever their inclination may lead them. If we are correctly informed, only recently the same court was called upon to decide whether certain citizens of a certain race were privileged under the law to vote and to have that vote counted. If we are correctly informed, in certain sections of this country, a class of citizens paying the same fare as other persons, are compelled to ride in cars set apart for them that are anything but equal to those of a more favored class. It would seem, then, that the democracy President Wilson favors is a democracy for the peoples of Europe and not for the United States. It does seem that we ought first set at liberty our own slaves before recommending liberty for the slaves of other countries. Advocating democracy for the governments of Europe and not for our own country is very much like a celebrated author who was perfectly willing to sacrifice his own and his wife's relations for the war but was unwilling to go himself. Let us have a real democracy for the United States and then we can advise a house cleaning over on the other side of the water. FOLLOWING THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE It is only as the years go by that the services of former Superintendent of Schools J. H. VanSickle and former principal of the High School, J. H. N. Waring for the colored schools of the city come to be viewed in the right light. If these men could have been kept in the city, our high school would now be second to none in the country. Both of them now occupy better positions in the educational systems of other cities, where their attempts along progressive lines are receiving the encouragement they deserve. Very little, if anything, has been done at our colored High School since they left: the building, small then, seems smaller today, and the galaxy of large minded men and women who were the inspirational guides, philosophers, and friends or many hundreds of boys and girls who loved them and respected them, have followed Dr. Waring and Superintendent VanSickle into other fields, where the rewards are commensurate with their ability. Only a corporal's guard remains of the thirty or more teachers of ten years ago. Two years ago, Superintendent Koch told a representative of the Afro-American that the local schools could not hope to keep their best teachers, because other cities were always willing to bid more for their services. It is rapidly coming to the point where the only teachers in the high school will be younger men and women looking for experience, and the older men and women who do not care to leave Rutmore. To cap the climax of this neglect of our High School, a correspondent of one of the local dailies put it into the head of a porter in one of the big stores downtown to suggest that too much Latin and too little manual training is being taught and the sooner we banish the languages and the sciences and put all of the time of the High School student into cooking, sewing and the trades, the sooner the city will grant appropriations for a new High School and the better will the students be able to grapple with the problems of earning a livelihood. A paragraph from the porter's statement follows: "It's the white people themselves who make the servant problem. In the schools which they provide for the Negro children, both the elementary schools and the high schools they teach the same things that the white people are taught. They should teach the boys manual training and the girls domestic science. I have a girl who is sixteen years old, who is going to high school. She studies a lot of Latin and a very little of domestic science. I've got a boy to teen years old. He does not get any manual training. I want to send both the boy and the girl to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. They will be taught if they go there, practical ways of making their living. White folks' occupations are closed to them. Why educate the Negroes for things they can't get?" The kind of crooked reasoning here indulged in runs something like this: the kind of high school we have does not give sufficient training for the trades, therefore let us cut out the high school and start a trade school. The right kind of reasoning on this point would say: our present high school does not offer sufficient training for the trades, therefore let us establish a trade school in connection with our high school. As a former member of the High School faculty put it in discussing the situation: "your secondary training has been following the line of least resistance for the past ten years. Unless an organized public opinion can get behind the present high school administration and the school board to work for increase of faculties and salaries, the Baltimore High School, which has occupied a prominent place in the world of secondary schools, will no longer be worthy of the name." SPINGARN CAMP TAKEN OVER BY WAR DEPARTMENT. One of the queer things about the human memory is that it can be usually relied on to retain the bad things and forget any number of good things. Shakespeare, had some experience with this when he had Mark Anthony remark that the "evils that men do live after them, the good is oft interred with their bones." Perhaps the reason is that the world only expects the good, and no matter how great and varied the experience, is always taken unawares by evil. At any rate, it will take some folks a long time to forget that Dr. Spingarn and others advocated a Jim Crow Training Camp for colored officers, in spite of the fact that the proposition did not go through, and in spite of the many good things these gentlemen have done for racial betterment in the United States. The War Department has taken over officially the Doctor's plan for the training of officers for the Army, and made a definite statement that it intends to give all of its citizens an opportunity to get this training. The camps, which will extend from May 8th to August 8th, three months instead of the one month originally planned, will be free of all expense including transportation, food, training and clothing, and it is probable that a monthly salary will be given in addition. Thus after a month of strenuous efforts on the part of Dr. Spingarn and others to get enough applications to establish a segregated camp for training colored officers, the Federal government has decided to take over the whole matter and conduct its own camps. Dr. Spingarn's proposition met the united opposition of the people in every large city. This accounts for the small number of enlistments for the project (250). When these few applications are compared with the eager willingness of the colored people to serve in 1898, it takes no magnifying glass to see that twenty years have made a tremendous change in the attitude of patriotic Americans. There has been no more hopeful sign of the increase of racial self-respect during the year than this simultaneous violent opposition to voluntary segregation, that sprang up like dragon's teeth over night following Dr. Spingarn's open letter. However, the War Department has not disposed of the question of how the colored reserve officers are to be trained and is now considering whether to provide a Jim Crow Camp on its own hook, or to admit colored men to one or more camps. In a statement from the N. A. A. C. P. to the press, it is given out that Dr. Spingarn and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been bombarding the War Department with appeals to admit the colored soldiers to the regular camps." This sounds very good after the kind of bullets that have come from the national headquarters of the N. A. A. C. P. recently, yet the next statement spolls it all when it continues, "whichever method is finally adopted, colored men would make a serious mistake if they did not take advantage of ANY opportunity to serve as commissioned officers in the army during this great war." The serious mistake is being made by the Doctor when he thinks that the people are taking his segregation ideas seriously. Dr. Spingarn's remark that all "who do not go to camp will be deprived of all opportunity of going to the war, either as privates or officers, brought cheers and laughter from the students of Howard University, where a letter from him concerning Military Camps was read last Wednesday. Of course it is a joke. It would be serious if anybody liked segregation that much. SPORTING NEWS The first annual outdoor athletic meet under the auspices of the Y.-M. C. A., promises to be the largest outdoor athletic event ever held in this city. If entries continue to come in at their present rate they will be far in date of closing which is set for May 7th.

But for the benefit of the uninformed we will have to give a brief account of the way they mowed down the Armstrong Tech, of Washington, erstwhile claimants of the Middle Atlantic States championship, at Bethel Hall, Thursday night. Here's how it happened. Here's now it happened. Armstrong started the scoring within the first minute of play by a pretty field goal. Then Murray, now better known as "Pison" with a long "i" began to get in his deadly work. He counted a beautiful basket, then another and still another, and after Jackson, High School's fast coming guard, came down the field like a streak and scored. Charlie counted still another, until the first half's end found 12 points chalked up for the local aggregation and 11 for the Washingtonians. Nor was Charlie satisfied with his work in the first half. He jumped right into the game and scored four more field goals in the second half, amid the mad cherring of his colleagues. Butler, who starred in the first game, was completely cut off by the Armstrong guards, who left Murray to himself, and to his deadly work. When the High School had totaled their 28 points, about five minutes before the end, Armstrong made a dying spurt. Coming up with a rush they quickly cornered three goals and a foul, but the timer's whistle caught them on the short end of the count and they were defeated, beaten and dethroned. The High School comports swarmed out on the field and grabbed their heroes, and shouldering Murray, paraded him around the hall, shouting and crying victoriously. And so ended the most memorable victory ever scored by a local team. And the best of it all was they defeated WASHINGTON'S-BEST. Bernard Webb acquitted himself nobly as a last-minute refree. His decisions were generally fair and impartial, and his rullings "according to Hoyle." BLACK SOX TO PLAY The Black Sox will play the strong St. Gerard's baseball club a double-header Sunday at St. Gerard's Oval, foot of the Pennsylvania avenue car park, which will be carved at 2 p. m.

Hutton, who departed this life two years ago today, April 25th 1915. Gone but not forgotten by me who so many times in my sorrow, the Lord has made it plain to mine eyes that Some day when all life's task is done And sorrow's lessons learned The leaden lining of life's cloud To radiant silver turned I shall look back with wondering eyes Upon the path I have trod And see how ever bitter pung Was but the will of God. I'm looking forward to that hour When life's straight pathway trod We shall through all eternity Still do the will of God. By his loving wife Mary L. Hutton MATTHEWS On Saturday, April 21, 1917, Samuel Matthews, the beloved husband of Irene Matthews, departed this life in full triumph of faith. Gone but not forgotten. O how hard I tried to save him Prayers and tears were all in vain, Happy angels came and took him From this world of toil and pain What grief and pain he suffered here None of us will ever know, For Jesus took him home to rest Where no tears will ever flow. Fy his loving wife. ```markdown ``` REID—In memory of Frank Reid, who departed this life two years ago. April 26, 1915. He is there in the sunrise land: He passed thru the river that floweth so deep and wide. But the mists were so thick that I could not see. When he crossed to the other side. We followed him down to the river brink And kissed him the last good bye. But his lips grew cold and his heart was still. For the boatman's pale was nigh. And the blinding teardrops would fall so fast That, alas I could not see Who met him there on the shining strand Where the white-robed angels be. By his mother and sisters. THOMAS—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear daughter, Alice E. Thomas, who departed this life three years ago, April 21, 1914. And she no longer, weeps. Here where complaint is still! And she no longer reels. Here where all gladness flies! And, by the cypresses, Softly shadowed. Until the angel calls her She slumbers! By her parents and brothers.

C.—A fellow feels a little different when he is in Washington now than he did a long time ago, but it is the same Washington and you come in touch with the same people. I am delighted that I have the pleasure of being here and seeing just what is going on and yet I don't know what is going on, but I do know that you see plenty of soldiers around here, and this gives you feeling of safety. a Being This is our country and I thank God that I am an American citizen and can see so many things which must claim my attention from time to time, and I am giving my attention to what that needs it. Of course I have been doing some moving since I saw you last, and today finds me right here in this place. I wrote my letter last week from Petersburg, Va, and while there I was the guest of Rev. S. A. Brown, pastor of Giffle Baptist church, which is one of the leading churches in that state. I spent the day there and when I got through with the two days I put myself together and started for Florida. I had been invited to Florida by the president of the Florida Baptist College, Prof. N. W. Collier to see them celebrate their 25th anniversary and it was a great celebration. These Baptists down here in Florida have been trying to educate their children for twenty-five years, and they have met with success, and they are proud of it if you are not. They had a great big meeting, and people came in, and many brought in some money to help the cause along. I heard some great speeches during that week and felt proud that I did get to hear them. Getting through with the meeting I then went to talk with Prof. N. W. Collier. He is one of the finest young men I have ever met. He has succeeded in getting in the school some brainy men and women, and all of them are trying to do their part. He has been there at the top for 21 years, but there was Miss Sarah A. Blocker, who has been there ever since the school came into life. She was one of the founders of it. She was one of the first teachers and the floors of that institution have been washed with tears from her sad heart many times, when money was out and things loked dark for the school. She stayed on the job, and now she is seeing some of the fruits of her labors and she is one happy woman. It is a great thing to give your life in a great cause like this. God gave us such women and men all over the country. They know how to do and they are accomplished. Rev. Brewer of Sanford, Fla., preached the anniversary sermon, and he is a great preacher. But I am saying all this because I have not spent all the time in Florida. I was sorry indeed to find Lawyer Shannon locked up. I don't know the cause, but he seems to fall into bad hands, or good hands one. I remember one day seeing him wearing the ball and chain in Jackson. Miss. I thought that it was a great let down from a school 'fessor to a prisoner working on the streets, but he made a still more marvellous him, for the next time I met him, he handed me his card, which announced him as a lawyer. Now he is—well he is among the unfortunate of our common country. I remained in town until I was through and then go: myself together and left for Frederickburg, Va. where I had been invited to spend a day among other friends. Of course you know of this Frederickburg. It is a historic city from start to finish, because it was in this place that George Washington, the first president of the country, lived. His mother was buried there, and the house where he once lived is still there. The law office of James Monroe, the man who was the author of the "Monroe Doctrine" is in town, and is still intact. And so many things that mark themselves in history, took place there, and some important battles were fought there, and now an important battle is going on there, against ignorance and sin, and the victory is being won. We have some strong men and women there, who are doing their part. Three Baptist churches are in town, and none other among our people. These people work together for the improvement of the city. The pride of the people of Fredericksburg is the Commerce Street Pharmacy, with Bass and Lee, propritories; and S. M. Tate, druggist, and he is a fine one. We ranks with the best in the country. Rev. J. C. Diamonds, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, took sick, and I did not get to see him but once, yet I found him courteous, friendly, and his home was thrown open to receive a friend, and his wife was right by his side. Then there was Stewart M. Tate, who is the drug clerk. Dr. U. F. Bass toted me around in his automobile. I was delighted to spend the day there and then I went to Richmond where I touched John Mitchell, Jr. That is to say he is doing things in Virginia, and is helping to put his people on the map. He is one hard worker. Just across the street from his home is the bank over which he presides and which gives him a place among the great American bankers. Then there is his office as editor of the Planet, but that is not what I want to tell you about. The people of the town under the leadership of Mr. Mitchell, have purchased several hundred acres of land, and this was done by Mr. Mitchell at a cost of $18,000 and now they are going to engage in a dead business, because they had to get ready which the Lord is requiring you to do here in this world for the one to come. I shall have something to say to you in my next letter about the things of the time, especially about Baltimore, because I am going to be there J. O.

Following the address of Bishop Bristol, the audience, which was one of the largest that have ever witnessed a similar occasion at Meharry, proceeded to the foundation of the new building, where the bishop sold a few dating words and Dr. Morgan offered an appropriate plaster. That the medical science is the oldest of sciences and was first made such by the descendants of Ham was one of the significant statements made by Bishop Bristol in his address. He contended that the Egyptians, who handed the profession down to Moses, first secured their expert knowledge of medicine from the early descendants of Ham. Another significant declaration made by the bishop was that the time is coming when the physician will be paid out of the public treasury. "This is an age of great thinking and healthy living," said Bishop Bristol. "Better physical conditions make better spiritual conditions. This intellectual age means the counteract of disease and a new emphasis on the value of human life." The bishop also said that this is an age of applied Christianity, telling of those who possessed the genius of producing wealth and of using such wealth in helping others. He closed his address by asking the question: "What can you do? God trusts you to maintain and support his institutions. He has faith in mankind. The church is the only institution that must live by voluntary contributions. The gift of the building to this institution for which we are soon to lay the cornerstone should inspire you and serve to consecrate your lives to a service of doing good for others." The contribution of $10,000 from Dr. John W. Anderson of Dallas, Tex., is the largest single gift ever made by a graduate of any of the schools operated by the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church and is considered to be quite significant in that it shows that the colored race is developing the spirit of self help and an appreciation of unselfish efforts and sacrifice others have made toward the uplift of his race. Dr. J. W. Anderson was born in Lex ington, Mo., Sept. 1, 1861, and was left an orphan when two and a half years of age. He attended the public schools of Kansas City and later graduated from the University of Kansas. Entering Meharry Medical college at Nashville, he finished in due time both the medical and dental courses of study. He was connected with Meharry as professor of anatomy for three years following his graduation. In addition to his great success as a professional practitioner Dr. Anderson has had a remarkable career as a practical business man, and in his twenty-eight years of residence in Dallas, Tex., has acquired a substantial fortune. President Hubbard, who is responsible for the turning out of half of the professional men and women of the race in this country, paid the following tribute to Dr. Anderson, who gave the Anderson Anatomical hall to Meharry Medical college: "Dr. J. W. Anderson is a man of indomitable will, tireless energy and inquisitive mind. He is a thorough master of the beating art and is as much at home in the medical bypaths of psychotherapy, mechanico-therapy, hydrotherapy, electro-therapy and the nondrug regime generally as on the highways of therapeutical pharmacology." The new building is to be located just opposite the George W. Hubbard hospital and is to be completed in time for use for the 1917-18 school term. The architecture and all work on the building have been carefully looked after by President Hubbard, and when completed the structure will be in every way representative of Mebarry Medical college and in keeping with the perfect manner in which Dr. Hubbard has directed all things at the noted institution for half a century. A CORRECTION In the last issue of the Afro-American there appeared a notice to the effect that Mrs. Nestie Perry, widow of the late J. W. Perry, was keeping house at 5103 Main street, for Mr. Augustave Williams. I wish to announce that the above is not true, and was published by one who was in no way in position to know the truth. I have changed my residence from 1412 Ward street to 518 Faker street, where I shall be pleased to see my relatives and friends. Mrs. Percy Bush. of Pennsylvania avantage, Atlantic City, N.

For 11 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1889 X. Carey street, Baltimore. Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr Campbell, who I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and to my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS.
