ROOKIES BALK AT JIM-CROW
Two Men In Training Camp Refuse to Sit in "Jim Crow" Part of Theatre.
PLACED UNDER ARREST
G. A. R. Veterans Pass Resolutions Condemning Action of Officers.
Fort DesMoines, Iowa, July 10—The first race antagonism that has broken out since the Officers Training Camp for Negroes was established a few days ago when J. B. Caple and L. H. McDowell, both of Company 9, were "arrested" at the Empress Theatre upon complaint of the management. The arrest was made by the house officer at the Empress. The police have instructions from Chief Jackson not to make arrests in discrimination against Negroes, according to officials at the Second Street Station. The officials are not inclined to alter one side or the other in the matter and police will make arrests only in case of disor-
CIVIL WAR VETS STIRRED UP
Civil Vet Civil War veterans have condemned the attempt to prevent Negro soldiers occupying seats in the theatres with white citizens.
Crocker Pos, G. A. R., has adopted the following resolutions deploring the attempt as unlawful:
"Whereas, Two colored men who are in training at Port Des Moines to fit themselves to hold commission in our army, are hereby arrested in one of the theatres of this city, because they refused to be driven from their seats and sent to a 'Jincrow' part of the house. Therefore be it"
"Resolved by Crocker Pos, Grand Army of the Republic, that we express our disapproval of this shameful and unlawful treatment, which hamiltonized their comrades and we trust the management of the theatre will not be upheld."
COLBALLOU ASKS COOPERATION
Come what may, the cookies may be the function of this camp must be realised and they must be handled with that function in spite of southern theatre police.
The matter was brought to the attention of the officer in command of the fort, Colonel C. C. Bailou.
The following morning he gave orders for a regimental assembly. The regiment assembled about the plain language laid out of one of the colonels with a coloured army officer and dealt with the present matter.
The Colonel told of one Alexander by name, a colored officer in the 4th infantry, some years ago, to whom some of the white officers objected. He made the point that Alexander had been appointed to the position such that in time he had the respect and good feeling of all the white officers; that he "merited recognition." "The short, merit your recognition and you will get it."
On the question of race trouble, the Colonel was brief but pointed: "These conflicts must cause," he said, "and each and every man. Any man who does not cooperate with me will be dealt with accordingly. This camp has a function and this function must be lived up to."
The cooperation of the men is assured.
JACKSON AS CRATOR
Prof. A. S. Jackson, of Waco, Texas, delivered the particular address to the men at the camp on the Fourth.
"The history of the world does not record a single instance where a Negro has proven a traitor to his country." "Never has a member of the black race fabled to remain faithful to the cause for which he offered himself.
"The cause in which we are now engaged is of double importance to us. It is a double cause—we fight for the nation and for the honor of our race. To our race we owe the honor of our race. To our race we owe the honor by the traditions of the black peoples of all time to remain faithful and dedicate ourselves unreservedly to the cause.
"To the nation we owe all. No nation has given the Negro race more no nation has done more for the Negro race, than the United States. I implore you to keep yourself the same with your way to give your best to the country that has made it possible for you to be more than shives, to the country that has made it possible for you to play a man's part in this period when history is being made."
Movies were shown on the screens of the Army, Y. M. C. A. at night. BALTIMORE AND THE MULSES GET WET!
During the part week the rookies relieved the Iowa National Guard of the duty of guarding the fort and its environs. They are now putting into real practice what they have learned from their "Manual of Interior Guard Duty." Each Company sends a demonstration daily for guard duty. The Guard is required to attend twenty-four hours, on two hour shifts. That is they work two and rest four. Each sergeant must know his twelve "general orders" and besides his special orders" for his post. Formal "special orders" are held daily, as the new Guard nurses the officers of the guard. The presence of officer has attested the fort, mules, this possible.
As a member of the university's detachment, it was the role of a Baltimore teacher to draw the corrals for many of the students.
BAPTISTS COMMEND
Oyster Bay, N.Y., July 12-Adysinnian Baptist Church, New York, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, has sent the following telegram to Colonel Rosevelt commending his recent speech flying the East St. Louis riots: the 3,200 members of the Abyssinian baptist Church by a unanimous and enthusiastic vote express to you their sincere and heartfelt gratitude and congratulations for your reply to the false, cowardly, un-American, murder-inciting utterances of Samuel Gompers in Carnegie Hall Friday night. Your timely and courageous words in defense of the murdered and unarmed man who were in East St. Louis in pursuit of an honest living, are an added proof that you are the biggest and most fair-minded man in the world.
"You have received a living hope in the breasts of 12,000,000 industrious, loyal, peaceable, yet greatly distressed citizens and aroused, we trust, a vigorous sentiment in the heart of all our citizens for our defense. Unless the national Administration brings these murderers to justice your noble stand will make our government at Washington, which is preaching world democracy, a laughing stock in the eyes of Germany and Turkey. We are among millions of Americans who like yourself may again occupy the White House. With highest esteem, we are yours for even-hundred justice and equal opportunities."
ST. LOUIS VS. EAST ST. LOUIS
St. Louis, Mo., July 12.—This wants to let the world know that it is no way responsible for the riot and murder in East St. Louis last week. The Board of Aldermen not only passed a resolution condemning its neighbor across the river, but offering asylum to colored refugees, but offering any kinship with East St. Louis, and surgissions are being made that the latter town change its name.
Among the new names proposed for the rioters and soldier-picketed city are: Lynchburg, Burnham (promounced Burn Em), Thaddephalia (City of Brotherly Love), Gates Ajer, Kyoto, Belchin, Lekwon, Nyakwon, Leadville, Kishihne, Murdersbrun, Brieke-a-Brack, Hempstead, Swyngen, Birmingham, Dead Man's Gulch and Tomlestone.
COLORED PHYSICIAN FIRED.
East St. Louis, Hl. July 11—The six colored members of the St. Clair County Board of Supervisors did not attend the monthly meeting of the board last Saturday and these present abolished the position of second assisting county physician for East St. Louis, which has been held by Dr. G. L. Blewett, colored. The position paid one thousand dollars a year.
N. Y. COPS FRESH
New York, July 11.—Col. William Hayward, of the Fifteenth Regiment, has filed charges against Patrolman Henson alleging that the "top" exceeded his authority when he tried to drive a number of the troopers in uniform off a street corner one night last week. Private Joulinch refused to follow the instructions that he followed. Joulinch and two others were arrested, the private being given ten days in jail.
Fred R. Moore and Rev. G. H. Simms are among those who urged that an investigation be made.
JUMPED IN BREAD BOX
Mob Nailed Him In and Then Proceeded to Burn Him.
Washington, July 11—Eyeswitnesses of the riot in East St. Louis, who have arrived here tell of the long chase of a white moth to catch a man before he reached the Mississippi bridge. Out of breath, the unnamed man, jumped into a bread-box to throw his surfers off the trail. One of them soiled him however, and sat on the old until the others arrived. With shouts and cheers the mob bore the box and its occupant into the street where both were burned to a crisp. The corrals. To add to the scenery of this specific post, it rained and caught the above mentioned teacher without a raincheck—as they have not been distributed as set. It is probable that the said teacher will renew his church membership. ON THE BUFF RANGE.
ON THE RIPPLE RANGE.
Last Saturday morning the troops marched in for miles to the fort rike range. Here the several companies were divided into detachments forming the scythe, shovel, pick, hammer and wheelbarrow brigades. The men put the targets in places,跑 run-offs and pit the range in first-class condition. They were fed at the target range and got their first field use of their eating utensils. White working in the sun at the range, and on the return march, old grocers and grocers each man had to soldier for himself. Out of the entire regiment numbering 1500, only three fell victim to the sun's rays and the heavy strain. Monday the rookies tried their skill at hitting the Kaiser's eyes.
The announcement some time ago that $300,000 would be paid out monthly at the camp set the local business world to thinking and figuring. The Des Molines Chamber of Commerce agreed afternoon. They arrived in time to witness the regimental parade and Treppee. This is the result of a suggestion some days ago by Col. Bollion; the latter received the respects of the business during the tour.
Just how much spending the rookies invested has caused some conjecture in the light of the events.

Mrs. Jennie H. Ross, Mrs. Kate Gowathney, Mrs. Bessie Coleman, J. L. Diggs, Junius Gray, Carl J. Murphy and William Pickens, constituting a committee authorized by the mass meeting of citizens under the auspices of the Maryland Association for Social Service at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Tuesday, presented their case before members of Congress in Washington on Thursday morning. Accompanied by members of a pettition were presented to Vice President Marshall and Champ Clark, Speaker of the House, urging an investigation of the St. Louis riots as provided for
The houses contain every modern convenience, and will be named for Crispus Attucks, Toussaint L'Overture, Pythias Wheatley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.
Mr. Marshall received the delegations cordially, and stated his opinion that the Senate would be glad to order such an investigation, if consistent with the unusual strain. The positions were held before the Senate yesterday by the Vice President, and referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. The Vice President, who established a reputation as Governor of Indiana by stumping out lynchings and white rippings, also said that he believed a strong executive the best bulwark against the repetition of such riots.

Speaker Clark was just as cordial in his reception as the Vice President; received the petitions, but thought they should be turned over to some member of the House to be printed in the Record in his extension of remarks. In the course of his remarks to the committees, the Speaker loved a word of warmth in his speech, and he noted that the Federal government in if such outbreaks should not cause would have a collective effect upon both leaders, who do not fear state authority.
Chicago, HI, July 11—Isaac Devilson herniated a crowd of 406 persons on street corner something like this.
Negroes are tools for not arming themselves with 44 callous revolvers, and for assisting the United States in the war against Germany, glass they no longer proportion to the citizens in this city.
The扑尾军 delegation had hoped to call on President Wilson to get him to issue a proclamation against mob violators of the law. Senator Joseph I.

He found the interests of the colored people, Mr. Wilson's letter to Senator France is as follows:
Two colored troopers of the Eighth Illinois pulled him from his soap box, when he refused to cease and lodged him in the police station.

HON. JOSEPH I. FRANCE, UNITED STATES SENATE.
WILL NOT SPEAK OF LOYALTY
Mr. Tomulky has placed in my hands your letter to him of July tenth, I wish very much that it were possible for me to see the delegation of colored citizens of whom you speak. Knowing their errand and wishing in every way possible to promote the safety and welfare of our colored fellow-citizens, I am sure I should listen to their representations with entire sympathy, but, unfortunately, it is imperative for me to conserve my time as much as practicable, and I write to beeg you to assure those who made this request of you that through the Department of justice through the Court of Appeal you and your brother and uncle will be doing and will do my uncle's safeguard the interests of the colored people who are, of course as much entitled to our protection and supper as any other citizens of the United States, and that you will request them in view of these assurances to excuse me for the present at any rate, from a personal interview.
Washington Minister Says Loyalty
And Red Cross Taken
Washington, July 11: Explaining his reason for failure to speak of the Red Cross or of loyalty to the United States, Dr. F. J. Grimke, of the 14th Street Presbyterian Church, made a following statement from his pulpit:
"When the United States government shows a proper appreciation of the services of the regn, who has never failed in every crisis of its history to do his whole duty, to shed his history to do his whole duty, to shed when the Red Cross ceases to dismantle against colored nurses and physicians out of deference to the Negro-inating sentiment of the South, then, and not till then, will I be heard on either occasion, I hope I have some little self-respect left, enough, at least not altogether, to be humble, and to acquiesce in it. No I. No I have not spoken, and if it is not my purpose to speak."
Members of the Committee, who had hoped to hear the President speak out with the full weight of authority against mob outbreaks, were only partially cheered by learning that the matter will be turned over completely to the Department of Justice, and the Department of Labor. In the light of the resident's letter, the Federal inquiry now in progress in East St. Louis under the Department of Justice must be availed before further steps are taken.
WOMEN AT PRAYER IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 11—Preparatory to the coming of Mrs. Mary B. Talbot, president of the National Association of Colored Women to Washington to confer with the state presidents and put the question of lynching squarely up to the American people, 5000 women gathered at the Metropolitan Baptist Church this morning from six to seven. The enormous crowd overflowed the entrances and steps and extended into the street. "Wrongs can and must be rifted" said Miss Burroughs. "We regret that the issue has been thrown before us." Mrs. Talbot asked the crowd to hold silence until the burning of innocent women and babies, aged men and innocent citizens of color is taken from the list of 'sports' of civilized Americas.

Colored and Whites Maintain "Armed Neutrality" During Investigation. DENIES COMPLICITY
East St. Louis, Ill., July 12—The white and colored people here are maintaining a sort of "armed neutrality" with the St. Chair County Grand Jury investigating the four-day riot of last week, and a number of companies of the Illinois National Guard on duty to prevent any further outbreak. The authorities are determined to prevent any further outbreak, if possible, but many whites are still expressing hostility against the colored people. The colored people are watching the situation closely. Some interest was created here by the suggestion that a census we made of the homes in Illinois containing blacks where many colored people have migrated recently.
LABOR DENIES COMPLICTY Despite the fact that organized labor is loudly proclaiming that it was in no way responsible for the rioting and wholesale murders last week, it has been repeated time and time again that white laboring men were hostile to the coming of Negro workers here. Six hundred representatives of white laborers among those who made a protest to Mayor Mollman against the coming of colored workers here.
WHITES NOT FORCED OUT.
That the great majority of the colored people who emigrated here within the past few months did not come to force whites out of their jobs is in facticated by the work written by Richard L. Stokes for Sunday's St. Louis Global Democrat:
"In the packing plants, stockyards and ore factories there is an abundance of hardy, dirty and unpleasant work which no white American would conson to do. These jobs were abandoned by the skilled white workers or by the forced labor of the latter native Austria and the Italian countries, were summoned to the colors, which meant additional Negroes were employed in their places.
"The tremendous bloom given to business in the city by war orders for the Allies created still greater demands for Negro labor. It is easier to employ the Negro population has increased one-fourth. At the end of May, when the first outbreak of rioting occurred, there were probably 15,000 Negroes in it, Louis of whom told, perhaps no more than 5,000 or 6,000 remain.
Negroes found themselves receiving such unprecedented wages as $4, $8 and $1 a day, and it was not strange that the trains and leaving letters to relatives and friends in South come and enter into this financial paradise. They responded in goods. Every evening and especially on Sunday evenings, the Relay Depot would be jammed with Negroes from the south arriving on the trains and from the north arriving on them. A number of the big arsenals trying to induce their colored workers to return, but quite a number have left for more congenial climates. The authorities say, however. It is safe for the colored workers to return.
The building of homes in a settlement with big plants employing colored people has been suggested by some whites.
The Chamber of Commerce has awakened to the fact that the riots have hurt the city, and have issued a statement charging the city authorities with his administration, and also alleging that the immigration was responsible for riot and advising a general "clean-up" of things general among the criminal element. SHOOT INTO CHURCH. It was at the time stated that the rioting was caused by colored people gathering at a church singing the bell to notify the whites that they were going to make an on-shault. A representative white man asserts that a crowd of whites in an automobile shot into the colored church, and some one among the excited worshippers rang the church bell.
COLONIZED PEOPLE ARRESTED.
The authorities arrested a number of colored men charging them with inciting to riot. A number of these were released, among them Attorney N. W. Parden and L. B. Blutt. The police have for several days been looking for Dr. L. N. Burlud, a colored dentist. A number of whites have also been arrested.
The publication of the news that Colonel Burlud the National Guard, intending reporting that the militiamen first ordered out and no ammunition created men unfavorable comment. The men. It is claimed, were not furnished ammunition until Tuesday evening of last week.
The grand jury had subdued a number of colored men trying to find out something about the riot. It was testified that the soldiers killed two colored men during the riot when they were not armed in ammunition. Alternations were also made of a plot among colored

YOU CAN HAVE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
If Anxious to Improve Your Hair and General Appearance Read This Carefully
There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding on what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. So-called pomade is a highly indicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thus maintaining hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get the best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be shamrocked at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasap oil. It contains oil of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap leaves the hair soft and buffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo. It does not any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. If your drugrist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler. The price is 25 cents each, and the price is 30th street, New York City, for a sample, mentioning the name of this paper. Advertisement

REVIEWS AND OPINIONS.
The well known incident of the conductor who asked a lady passenger if the ten youngsters with her were her or was it a picnic, and who received the reply that they were hers and it was no picnic either, is bad enough, but it was not a bad reply, was pushing a baby carriage just the Afro-American office, when the editor cautiously approached her. He noted the tiny youngsters on either side and the mite in the carriage: "Madam" he ventured, "are all these your children?" "Yes indeed these are all mine, mme are accustomed" came the reply without hesitation. The editor bid indoors.
New Robert A. Jackson, former Baltimorean, now passer of St. Phillips E. K. Church in Richmond, Virginia, spent part of his vacation in the old old city. New Jackson calls Richmond the centre of the Southern exodus. To improve their condition, workingmen are daily bearing the farms for the factories of the north. An agency for Contestville Pennsylvania and handles large numbers of men. There is no prohibitive tax on labor agencies there such as exists in sales farther south. To take the place of these men sent north, others are imported from the Carolinas and New York, and going among the working classes, a constant change in the population.
Speaking of churches, Rev. Jackson said that Richmond was predominantly Baptist. There are 152 Baptist churches in and around the city, larger than all the other denominations combined. The church on the 11th street and Lee streets has been an odd victim of the segregation ordinance. Because the Lee St. front entrance of the church is on a white street, the doors had to be fastened to the 11th street side, which happens on a colored street.

Boys have been winning their college letters for skill in athletic contests ever since ex-assistant attorney William H. Lewis was a star of the Harvard football team. Girls have not accomplished very much chiefly because athletes until recently have not occupied a high place in girls' schools. In view of this the record of Miss Phyllis Wheatsy Waters, the

daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Philip Waters, of Charleston, W. V. stands on prominently. By the way, Col. Phil is a former student of Morgan College and well known among old Baltimoreans. She attended the Ann Arbor Michigan high school, played during her four years on the basketball team, and the last year was elected captain. "At the University of Michigan, where she graduated last June, she distinguished herself in athletics and 'gym' exercises, and was awarded the college award. In the last time of the university, this is the first time that a colored girl has won this distinction.

The A. and M. college of Normal, Alabama, conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon William H. Steward last week. Among newspaper men, Mr. Steward passes as the Dean, and enjoys a degree of respect worthy of his age and his service. For 55 years he has been editor of the American Baptist, published the Ville. Kentucky. Booker. Washington is said to have termed Mr. Steward in his address the greatest layman." His address before the faculty and students was called the most practical, helpful and inspiring utterance that has been heard in the southland in these later days.

Perhaps no victims of the war in Europe have suffered so severely as the victims of the East St. Louis riot. Their homes destroyed, their people no longer avail themselves in no house for among the dead, they are worthy at once in our sympathy and our AID. East St. Louis and the city across the river opened their public buildings and fed and housed the wanderers temporarily. But what is to be of them is hoped? What is hoped will not become a situation in boats and by train in a situation owners of the southern states arrived in the city to take the prisoners back south to work in the cotton fields. They expect to find out of East St. Louis. They expect to take them south, paying them for their work and down home, keep them there in debt by paying them the same miserable wage they received before coming north. To relieve the immediate distress of the sufferers, the American Red cross is furnishing food, shelter and clothing, and cooperating with other organizations in East St. Louis in disarray.

BALTIMORE, JULY 14th
ROOSEVELTS OPPORTUNITY Probably no man in the country is more responsible than is Theodore Rosevelt for the quickening of the American sentiment for the entrance of the United States into the European War on the side of the Allies. He is the one man to whom the country owes a debt of gratitude.
Mr. Wilson says that "the world must be made safe for democracy," but his administration is regarded as being opposed to any real democracy which includes in its program the colored people of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt has spoken out before in behalf of fairplay for the Negro, but never with more effect than when he said in New York last Friday night:
"When we applaud the birth of democracy in another people, the spirit which insists on treating each man on the basis of his rights as a man, refusing to deny to the humblest the rights that are his. . . . it behooves us to express our deep condemnation of acts that give the lie to our own words within our own country."
Colonel Roosevelt can arouse the nation to the inequalities that 10,000,000 citizens suffer in this country, and show that a large proportion of those now in control of the national government are from a, section where real democracy only existed for a brief period in the history of this country. That- will be a great contribution to the cause of world democracy, if the Colonel will only continue the work so well begun. He can thus render another historic service. Just as Major Moton told the world that there was a decrease in lynchings during the past six months, East St. Louis broke the record the other way for the next six months.
Rosevelt certainly hit them hard, when he decreed against wrongs at home to certain plous gentlemen interested in foreign missions.
Equal rights have been obtained for the Jews and pennants of Russia, and they must be won for the Negroes of America.
The Fourth of July showed that East St. Louis had done to Negroes what the United States promises to aid the Allies in doing to Germany.
Organized labor says it is not guilty and hammers away at the Negro who went to East St. Louis to get work.
STUDY THE WAR
The trend of events in the present world-wide war should be the occasion for daily study by every colored man and woman. The success of the cause of the Allies should not only be their fervent wish, but also the triumph of those principles for the realization of which President Wilson has told the world has made the United States enter the war.
The triumph of the real principles of democracy is a matter of peculiar concern to the colored people of this country, for they, in a so-called democratic country, suffer many hindrances that other elements of the American people not only do not have to bear, but either acquiesce in or aid in infesting on Negroes.
In an address at Chautauqua, N. Y., Thursday of last week, Dr. Tayokichi Iyenago, distinguished Japanese journalist and political scientist, made the following remarks in explaining why Japan is fighting with the Allies: "We are fighting to make the reign of democracy safe in the world, and save it from becoming the slave of autocracy. Here I must be permitted to define democracy as I construe it to be. Democracy is no synonym for republic. Whether the government be a republic or a constitutional monarchy, democracy is enthroned in the country where social equality instead of feudal aristocracy prevails; where one's real merits count more than rank of family pedigree; where every individual has the right to the full enjoyment of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' and is no slave of a dominant caste; where 'right prevails over might' and militarism is not the controlling force; in short, where justice, liberty, equality and humanity are made the basic principles of the State."
The social equality about which Dr. Iyenago talks is not that which our white "friends" purposely confuse with intermarriage and social intercourse, but equality in civic and economic affairs. That equality means
the lifting of disabilities against the American Negro and his emergence into the realm of the free citizen. With this goal in mind, the porter no less than the professional or business man, and the domestic no less than the teacher, should be keenly interested. The East St. Louis riot, "Jim Crow" cars, segregation, disfranchisement and the various issues of the war should be their daily study so that when real freedom comes to other peoples, it should not be denied the Negro. Then will dawn the day when citizens of color will not have to think of public questions as a Negro first and an American afterward, to their own and to the country's disadvantage.
In every national crisis the patriotism of the American Negro has never been questioned, and there is now need that he play the highest kind of patriotism—the kind that will see democracy wide-spread over Europe, and not let the United States be a country which helped to right the wrongs done the downtrodden peoples of other countries, but failed to do the same for 10,000,000 people within its borders.
Study the questions of the day, then, is the paramount duty of the colored people who are desirous of hastening the time when worth, and not the accident of birth, shall be the deciding test, and the principles which the country loudly proclaims shall be the guiding posts in the treatment of all classes of its citizens.
More WORKERS like J. R. L. Diggs will get the kind of organization for civic affairs that Baltimore needs. The Association for Social Service is making itself heard from. At the present rate of progress, no local organization will not be represented in it.
Secretary Baker's announcement that Colonel Young will be examined by a second Median Board before being retired, and that meanwhile, he will be assigned to active duty temporarily relieves the fears that the highest colored officer of the regular army would be unfairly dealt with.
DYER RESOLUTION
No other argument need be given for the good sense of the Mass Meeting held under the auspices of the Maryland Association for Social Service in sending a Committee to see the President and Congressional members than this one--The committee found that the Dyer Resolution, known as House Joint Resolution 118, had not yet come to the attention of the leaders of both houses, or of the Maryland Congressional members.
THE DYER RESOLUTION
THE DYER RESOLUTION
"Creating a joint committee from the membership of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on the Judiciary to investigate the causes that led to the murdering, the lynching, the burning and the drowning of innocent citizens of the United States in East Saint Louis, Illinois, on July second, 1917; whether the Constitution and Laws of the United States have been violated; and what legislation, if any, is needed to prevent like outrages in the State of Illinois and other States States and Territories of the United States."
recognized by every corored citizen as an effective means to wipe out mob violence in the future, was altogether lost sight of by their representatives, and would possibly have remained so, had it not been for the people's determination to take up the matter and urge it further.
MUST SETTLE RACE ISSUE
That thoughtful men all over the country are beginning to think that something must be done to adjust the race question and to bring about the equality of all the people is indicated in many of the utterances of the daily newspapers on the East St. Louis riffs.
Under the caption, "The Negro in America," the Boston Transcript says that after the European War the next problem that this country must take is that of the relations between the races.
After stating, in speaking of East St. Louis, that since before the Civil War southern Illinois has sympathized with the South, the Transcript says: "Clashes between the whites and the blacks have occurred in the past, and when the racial question is complicated by a serious economic problem the latent possibilities are fanned to white heat, the mob spirit manifests itself, and murder, arson and brutality are unleashed.
"Here is a problem that must be dealt with by the country. Probably it will be the next great problem with which we shall have to deal when the war for civilization has been fought and won. When the world has been made safe for democracy, America must be made safe for Americans. Our citizens without regard to color must be able to go where they will in search of employment freely and not in jeopardy of their lives. This can be brought in one way only, the elevation of the entire Negro citizenship to a higher economic level, so that the competition of his brain and labor will not threaten to cheapen life and lower wages.
"Caucasians who have won, through their unions and in other ways, a comparatively high standard of living, are not inclined to stand by and see a cheaper labor take their places in the mills and shops. Since the whole standard should not, and will not be lowered, the Negro standard must be raised. Otherwise the competition of cheap Negro labor will arouse racial contagions, the bitterest in all the world.
"As the Negro comes North in increasing numbers, gaining in skill and consciousness of Manhood, he will find for himself his place in the Sun. Until he does achieve this he will find in the less unenlightened sections of the country, that racial prejudice is the ready weapon of the conscience-less agitator."

WORDS IN THE EDITOR'S EAR URGES CRISFIELD TO AWAKE To the Editor:
Crisfield, the Metropolis of the Eastern Shore in size and wealth, and the smallest in its state notes to the Afro-American. It is not the lack of intelligence, I am sure. There are hundreds of subscribers, who would like to read news from home, but seldom find any correspondence at all. Let Crisfield awake and let other cities know they are still on the map, and not in the water, and especially to aid the growth of Afro-Americans.

ADVISES HONESTY
To the Editor:
It is regrettable that so many of our young folks are in prison today for not being honest. Parents should be urged to be more strict on the youngsters and see that their children are honest. If they should a trend toward dishonesty, children should be taken in charge and the rod not spared.

Makes complexion lighter and smooth like velvet, no matter how rough or how dark. Costs nothing compared to advantages it gives and may mean the chance of your life. A pretty, lasting complexion gains more than pretty clothes. If not at druggist send 50 cents for 4 ounce bottle. T. G. LUCAS,
925 Madison Avenue, Baltimore, Md. Menton paper in ordering.
In loving remembrance of Dr. J. Marcus Cargill, who departed this life two years ago, July 13, 1915. Sleep on dear one, under the sod now
And when the soul waketh and life shadows flee.
The glorious thought shall be forevermore with thee.

In loving remembrance of our dear

He is blooming in God's garden,
Among the lilies fair;
God saw he was too good for earth,
So transplanted him up there.
By his parents, sister and brother.
WELLS—In loving remembrance
of my dear brother, Robert Wells,
who departed this life three years ago
July 14, 1914.
The month of July once more is here
To me the saddest of the year
I did not know the pain you had
I did not see you die
I only know you were called away
Before you could say goodbye.
By his sister, EMA
RICH—In sad but loving remembrance of my darling niece, Arnetta Rich, who departed this life 18 months ago, June 14, 1916. Dearest loved one we have laid thee In thy peaceful grave's embrace But thy memory will be cherished 'Till we see thy loving face Yet again we hope to meet her When the day of life is fled When in heaven with joy to greet her Where no farewell tears are shed. By her devoted uncle and grandmother, Mrs. Rosa White and Mrs. Silla Satchel. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Taylor O. Wilson, who departed this life one year ago, July 10, 1916.
My heart in deep sorrow recalls to the day
As memory recalls now death bore
bore thee away
And left me in tears in grief and in
woe
When I stood by your grave one year
ago.
Gone but not forgotten.
By his wife
MARY S. WILSON,
Crisfield, Md.
WILLIAMS—In loving remembrance of our dear father, John W.
Williams, who dearest this life two
years ago, July 9, 1915.
The midnight stars are beaming
Upon a silent grave
Where sleeping without dreaming
The one we could not save.
By wife and children, GERTRUDE,

Can the absent be forgotten?
Can their memories ever die?
Were they loved to be remembered as a dream passes by.
'Tis only a step that divides us From glories no mortal hath seen We shall find them when death's grim fingers Has lifted the veil between.
'Loving children, Emma Carrett, Mollie Eowen, Katie Miller.

A FOURTH OF JULY ELOPEMENT
THAT WAS A SURPRISE.
(Continued from last week.)
In about an hour he came back home hooked up the big wagon with the bays and made three trips to the Griffith place, then he took the team and went down the road about a mile and made three more trips at the end of the last trip it was nearly twelve o'clock. He drove back home put up the team, red them and sauntered gayly up to the house where he leisurely and amid much chuckling ate his cold dinner. After dinner he washed, shaved, combed his hair, went upstairs and put on his best black suit, and then surveyed himself in the glass in Luce Emma's room, which gave him back a full length view of himself, a view which pleases him mightly. "Not so bad," he said to himself "for an old man twenty years of age."
seventy years.
Pa Caney was a nice looking old man, tall, straight and spry as many men only half his age. He picked up his pocket book, counted out the money it contained and chuckled loudly, "not so bad old boy" he mumbled "you will still live in clover, and be your own boss for a few more years at least. I'll surprise you Luce Emma and Charles William. It will be the greatest surprise you ever had in your life. Tell me I must stay at home while you go galloping around off of my hard earned money I-guess not.—Never again," and humming to himself Pa Caney walked quickly down the steps and out of the house.
He went to the North woods held and gave a peculiar long then short whistle and his little bay mare came running up to the fence where he stood. He let down the bars and let her out. She stuck her nose in his pocket looking for the apple he usually carried for her, having got it she followed him to the stable, where he harassed her and bringing her out to the barn hooked her to the ancient buggy that occupied one corner of the barn. Never mind old girl, we'll bring you back to a new one, that will make rolls up and take notice. Getting her harnessed and hooked up—he led her out of the barn and around to the front gate, where he left her stand for a few minutes while he went up on the porch and hid the key under the dishpan hanging by the side of the kitchen door, and suck a letter in the mail box. He chuckled all the way down the steps and after he got in the buggy the old man was mightily pleased with himself.
He drove quickly up the wood and in twenty minutes he got out at Hubbard's place. The widow Hubbard was sitting on the porch quietly knitting, and when she saw who it was at the gate, she was too surprised to call "Hello Pa Caney," her usual greeting to him.
Carley. He came upon the porch and sitting down beside her, took her hands and said—"Annie Hubbard, you and I've known each other for more than forty years. I've got a fool son-in-law and you've got a fool darter-in-law and between the two of them they lead us a devil of a life. Now that don't sound very nice, but its gospel truth. I've come over to ask you if you'll marry me and keep my house the way you wish and I'll run my fae: 'to suit myself. Will you get ready and we'll go to Rock Horse get the marriage license, then take a little wedding' trip to Baltimore and Washington then come home and settle down."
"Well Ephrian Caney, you do be crazy for fair," said the surprised widow Hubbard, "do you think for one minute I would go over to your place and live with Luce Emma and Charles Willyum, why that would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire."
"Well I didn't ask you to live with them," he answered, "I asked you to marry me. We are not going to live with any one but ourselves."
"What will you go with your darter," she asked.
"Leave her where she is"—he replied. "Can't you trust me Anne? I'm too old to act like a silly boy of twenty, but I love and respect you and I know that you are not happy here any more than I am at my home. Don't think I want to make your future anything but a pleasant and happy one. Trust me, dear, and I'll tell you all as soon as we're married."
"Turn around Eph and look me straight in the eye, I want to be sure I can believe you mean it."
He turned, and they gazed at each other for a few seconds. "It was real uncanny like" said Pa. Caney in telling of it afterwards. "Anne looked like she was looking clear thru me, and I felt so foolish and queer, just like seeing a ghost."
"Alright Eph "she said "I'll trust you. I'll be ready in naft an hour."
At the end of forty minutes she came out dressed in an old fashioned tay silk with her newly done up shu and her pretty little gray bonnet looking for all the world like she had stepped out of an old picture of a hundred years ago.
They drove quickly down the road and one hour later was man and wife.
That night they spent in Rock horse, and the next morning took the early train for Washington.
At 6 o'clock on the Fourth Luce Emma and Charles William rode up to their gate and looking up at the house everything struck them as being unusually quiet, with a quietness that oppresses.
Luce Emma jumped out and ran up the walk and Charles William drove around-to the barn. The door was shut and everything as quiet as it had seemed at the house. He pushed open the door drove the car in, then got out and went around to the cow shed thinking Pa Caney and Sarah would be there milling, but not a cow was to be seen and he
went back to the house to tell Luce Emma where he found her sitting on the porch with her facee buried in her hands crying. "What's wrong" he asked. "Wrong" she said. "Everything—Pa's gone off and married widow Hubbard."
"You are joking I guess," he answered. "What do you think he'll do with a wife at his age and where'll he take her?" "Here, I guess"—she said. "It's all your fault Charles William Browney. If you'd let pa go to the Celebration at Hanover this wouldn't have happened one bit, and now I'll have to put up with her coming over here, because her mother-in-law is married to pa. And I don't see how I'm to get along with widow Hubbard any way—because she's used to cooking and keeping house and I'll have to take a back seat or else be continually fussing to get my rights." And bursting into another fit of crying she said, "go on out of here Charles, it's all your fault. I don't care whether the stock is fed or not, milk your cows yourself—I just hate you so I do. You are so selfish and you made me so—now pu's gone and married that old woman. Oh dear, oh dear."
All things come to an end sometime so one day Luce Emina and Adam Hubbard were both as nervous as could be, because Luce Emina had received a letter from Pa that he would bbe home Monday at four o'clock, and Adam had received one saying his mother would be home at three o'clock.
They were certainly two disorganized households as neither knew where the old folks would stay. But they both put up a brave front, and cleaned and fixed up a room and cooked an excellent supper, but they were both doomed to disappointment and a surprise.
At 3 o'clock the newty made bride and groom drove up to Adam Hubbard's gate in a bran new touring car 1917 model, and both dressed like aristocratic city folks. Eudora and Adam were so dumfounded they just stood and stared, and didn't know what to do or say until the former widow and pa both laughed and the new Mrs. Caney said "Won't you come and speak to your mother Adam and Dori?" They came out to the auto, and Eudora said "get out mother you and your husband, we've supper all ready for you." "No thank you, we are going home, and when you get time come and see us at the Grillfin place" and with that they hurriedly cove away, leaving a speeckless pair of children behind them.
At four o'clock they drove up to the Caney gate and Luce Emma called out the upstairs window, "Come on in pa, you and your wife, I'll be down as soon as I get my dress buttoned up." "Well, hurry up," said pa "we haven't much time, we are on our way home."
Luce Emma was soon down and at the car. She opened the door, and said, "You are already home, where else would you be going for home?" "Thank you darter," said pa "I'm going to my home, where I'll be boss of my own farm, and your new mother will be boss of her own kitchen. I've bought and furnished the Griffith place, and any time you feel like a chat or spending a pleasant hour, run over to see us and we'll be glad to see you and Charles William."
They drove away leaving Luce Emma standing in the road too paralyzed for the moment to move or speak.
When Charles William arrives home that evening for supper, he listened to the news without a comment, because he was for the first time in their married life, afraid of what Lucie Emma might say.
But the old folks motored home and spent a delightful evening telling Recorder Betts how happy they were and how they eloped and surprised the children. "A Fourth of July Elopement old fellow said Pa Caney and a mighty happy one I tell you."
The End.
BOSTON WOMAN RECOMMENDING IT TO HER FRIENDS.
It is always interesting to listen to the statements of our friends, and especially when you know they are sincere and honest in what they say. Added interest is created when a statement coming from one who has spent a lifetime in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart who resides in Boston, and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for anyone to call on her to verify the following signed testimonial.
"I have suffered from stomach trouble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment and cause gas to form in my stomach. I had pains all over my body, and was carotically constipated. My liver was torpid, and I felt generally miserable. I had doctored and been sent to the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nervous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas pressing under my heart caused palpitation and when I rose in the morning I was just as tired as when I retired. About two weeks ago I began to take toniline, and I can truthfully state that it has done wonders in my case. I am feeling like a new woman and canirt any kind of food. I sleep the night through and have no more aches or pains; in fact it has cure dine and I am recommending it to all of my friends, as it has been a Godsend to me."
Reid Drug and Chemical Company sells and guarantees toneline. There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that toneline can relieve. In fact, any of the following may denote affections of the stomach: Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick throbbing headache, poor circulation, night sweats, that tired feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or a por complexion. Caution—As toneline is recommended as a flesh builder those not wishing to increase their weight fifteen pounds or more should not take it continuously. Advertisement

CITY NEWS.
What promises to be the biggest rally ever held in a colored church in Baltimore will take place at Bethel A. M. B. Church, Drudd Hill avenue and Lauvale street, this Monday night. The goal is $5,000, and the rally forces will be in charge of Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, the energetic pastor of the congregation.
For the purposes of the rally the military forces have been divided into two squads, each of which will be known as an annual conference. Each conference will have a presiding bishop, and the rally chiefs will make reports as is done in annual conferences.
The names of the conferences are: Temple, Thousand-Dollar, Earthquake, Pumpers, Rough Riders, Shipwright, Matter-of-fact, Ethiopian, Little Kid and Nightingale.
Mr. Brooks, who had signal success in matches while stationed in St. Louis,察us Baltimore, "give big" and sent his troops for the presiding officer of Corn Pome District to do well in the presiding order of Hardin or Chicoon Roost.
The compensation is trying to liquidate the big indebtedness hanging over the church, and the public is invited to witness the rendering of joyes next Monday night.
An interesting forerunner of the art rally was the "commencement" of "Wilberfortful" University, held by the Sunday School on Friday evening of this week. Dr. Brooks delivered an address to the "graduating" rally contains, and presented each a diorama.
VANCE'S ADVANCES REJECTED
A sense of mistaken identity was responsible for the rough treatment of Jack Vance, white, when he took pretty brown Manie Bradford as a "friend" of his last Wednesday morning. "The incident took place in the morning, confessionary and general merchandise store of Lewis Smith, wrote, his Dr. David avenue, next to Smith's Hotel.
According to the testimony of both parties, Mamie was in the rear of the south store using the phone, when Vance, who had been drinking at the south foundation in front, appeared to recognize her, and interrupting her conversation, wanted to know where won the ten dollars she took from a friend of his some weeks ago. Upon further advances of Vance, the proprietor of the store took a hand and quoted the big lot from the premises. The large crowd that collected threatened injury to Vance, who was lodged in the Northwestern Police Station on the charge of disobedience. At the trial in the afternoon, Vance regained his affront to the girl as a sake until he was fined $10 and costs by Magistrate Shaw. He offered to pay on the installment plan, $5 down and the east lager, but was sent behind the bars until he could raise the remaining $8.55.
ORGANIZE CHILDREN'S CHURCH

THE WEEKLY SERMON
By Elder G. P. Rodgers
This little born was in reality the greatest of the horns that Daniel viewed coming up out of the fourth kingdom, Rome, in Chapter 8, the prophet said that it waked exceeding great, and back again in chapter 7 he said that it made war with the saints and prevailed against them, verse 21. But the greatest piece of effortless was in the presumption of this power to speak against heaven and the Most High. This indicates that this power places itself in the position of GOD, and there is no system of evil in the world that dares to do such like the power here described. (Remember last week we quoted the words of Paul as he, too, described this mystery of iniquity 2. Thess. 2:5-7). It must be remembered also that this power attempts to appear as extremely religious for it sits in the temple of GOD, but in reality it exalteth itself above all that is called GOD. In Daniel 7:25 it is said that it thought itself able to change times and laws Surely, that it might exalt itself above GOD, it will change the law of GOD expressed in the fourth commandment. I quote from a series of articles as printed in the Catholic mirror of September 19, 1926 the following:—The great body of Protestants, so far from chlaming, as they do with ignorant pernicious for the strict keeping of Sunday, have no other resource left than the admission that they have been teaching and practicing what is scripturally false for over three centuries by adopting the teaching and practice of what they have always pretended to believe an apostate church, contrary to every current and teaching of the Sacrificial Church. To add to the intensity of this and unpromptable blunder, it involves one of the most positive and emphatic commands of GOD to this servant. Remember the Subbath Day to Keep in mind: No Protestant living today has ever obeyed that command, preferring to follow the apostate church referred to than his teacher, the Bible which, from Genesis to Revelation teaches no other doctrine. "The Catholic Church over a thousand years before the existence of a Protestant CHANGED THE DAY FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY"...To be continued.

IS THIS TRUE?
17 YEARS TORMENT
For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECCEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from feeling. Doring those times I went to hospitals and am about 30 doctors without a relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1363 N. 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 he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world.

I have used the M. K. I. Hair Pomade almost two years. IT IS THE BEST I EVER USED. It has made my HAIR GROW, keeps my SCALP in SPLENDID CONDITION, and made my hair wavy and glossy. In fact, I never had so much hair in my life as I have now, owing to the M. K. I. Pomade. I shall never be without a box in the house.

The present prices of the necessities of life make it more important than ever for you to know Bargain Values. ARE YOU GETTING THE BEST VALUES IN YOUR DRUGS, PRESCRIPTIONS AND TOILET ARTICLES? There are only three ways to buy, either by guess work, appearance or by actual knowledge of what bargain values are. Two of these ways are wrong for either the quality or the quantity has been sacrificed.
