Today the Afro-American enters its twenty-seventh year. In other words, today is New Year's day with the "Afro," and like all good sensible folk it is going to start out with a New Year's resolution to get itself read in every home in the state of Maryland. When we announced this resolution recently, many replies were received from agents, telling us that they were going to help us keep it, and at the rate our sales have increased in the last few weeks, it seems that the people throut the counties have quit saying "paper," and only say "Afro." Last year this office, in order to give its readers more news, and a better looking paper installed a new linotype machine costing over $3500. With the means for doing quick type-setting in our office, the next need was means to do quick press work. We are able to announce that in order to get our paper off sooner on Fridays so that it may reach our agents promptly on Saturday morning, we have just purchased a new Goss Comet Newspaper Press, to be installed on or before October 1st. This new machine will enable us to print eight pages at once at the rate of 3500 per hour and increase the size of the sheet to seven columns. Under the pressure of giving our reader better service, we expect during the year to increase the Afro to ten pages and later to twelve. With the new press costing over $3000, an increase in number of pages printed will be easily managed. Not only is it aimed to have a bigger Afro-American but a better one. We are better, newsier, than we were a year ago, than we were six months ago, and that is the best index of what we are going to do in the coming issues. It goes without saying that, none of the things that the Afro-American has done to place itself among the foremost weeklies in the country, could have been accomplished without the support of an unusual circle of readers, who feel that the paper belongs to them, and who are sure that this paper that can be just as good as they make it. SUSPEND JUDGMENT SAYS BISHOP SMITH Aroused by the drastic editorial in the white press condemning the members of the 24th infantry for shooting up Houston, Texas, that Bishop A. C. Smith of the A. M. E. Church resided in Detroit, Michigan has published an open letter on the subject. The bishop says: There are so many currents and counter-currents of a disturbing nature in evidence that this is no time for hosty utterances. Public judgment should be suspended until all the material facts in the unfortunate and regrettable occurrence have been fully investigated and the result made known by the war department. The stories emanating from Houston are one-sided and reflect the prejudices of the dominant element in Houston instead of the facts in the case. A Negro in military uniform is as exasperating to the average Texan as in the flaunting of a red rag in the face of an enraged bull. When the Titanic disaster was reported, it is said. Mr. Andrew Carnegie biologically inquired: "What was she doing up there anyway? having reference to the extreme northwest coast? And what is it equally pertinent to inquire, why were the Negro troops sent to Texas anyway, particularly those of the regular army? Has the remembrance of the Brownville affair entirely faded from public memory? Is it so soon forgotten that but a few days ago publicity was given to the report that Negro troops were in a clash with the authorities of Waco, Texas? Two distinct incidents that occurred during the Spanish-American war are still fresh in my memory—the threat to dynamite a train load of Negro regulars by the dominant element of Texarkana. Ark, and the merciless assault made on a train load of Negro volunteers at Nashville, Tenn., while en route from Chattanooga to Cincinnati. Suspend Judgment, is Plea. Hon. Joe H. Eagle, M. C. for the Houston district, in a dispatch to the secretary of war said: "Without stating who is to blame, it is clearly a race riot and is a tragedy sufficient to compel the statement that it is a tragic blunder to send the Negro troops to southern camps." Who is to blame for this tragic blunder? The Negro troops went to Houston in obedience to the orders of their superiors whose right it is to direct their movements. A good job? Yes, and that statement coming from a congressman on the ground, and the chosen representative of the dominant element of Houston, ought to be sufficient to induce the public to suspend judgment for the time being. President Wilson made a trenchant statement in a speech in Philadelphia to the effect that "A man may be too Continued on 4th Page." People Of Church Back Pastor Brooks In Biggest Effort In The Church's History One of the largest crowds ever present at a mid-week service edged its way into Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Druid Hill avenue and Lanvale street to witness the windup of the greatest rally in Negro churchdom, for when Theodore C. White, treasurer of the Board of Trustees, yelled to Mr. John H. Murphy, treasurer of the Rally Fund, "Mark it paid" (meaning the remaining $6.75) this congregation and its large circle of friends from every denomination had raised the astounding sum of Fifteen Thousand Dollars. Then the wildest enthusiasm prevailed—Members shouted, sang, hugged each other frantically and otherwise let loose the pent up enthusiasm of several months. But no one seemed happier than the pastor, the Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, who after preaching a fine sermon from the subject, "This Better Further On," directed the gathering of the money, keeping his audience in the best of humor by his many witty saliets. Dr. Brooks has been at Bethel but four months, yet he has succeeded in raising more than $18,000 for all purposes. He will leave late Sunday night for a two week's vacation at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Up until last Sunday Bethel had raised a little more than $500 of the $2,000 needed to complete the fund. On Sunday this amount was increased by $1002.06 besides a regular collection of $159. It was then decided to raise the rest of the money on Thursday night and each member promised to bring $1. At ten o'clock on Tuesday night $255.00 of the fund $498 had been raised. At this point, Dr. Brooks announced that he knew a friend who would give one hundred dollars if the members could make the remaining sum of $43. The dollars rolled in o'clock, the fund was announced complete. GAY THRONG AT ATLANTIC Atlantic City, August 31st—The Boardwalk presented an animated appearance Sunday.

J., General Secretary of the National Medical Association, which changed its meeting place from Nashville, Tennessee, after a brutal lynching there, and convened last week in Philadelphia. The Association has asked for the exemption of colored medical students and has offered to establish a base hospital. Four hundred delegates were present from every state in the union. One of the chief discussions at the session was on infant mortality. It was said that colored infant mortality is twice that of the whites, 27 per cent of our deaths are infants, and the deaths among expectant mothers is double that of whites. The chief source of infant and maternal mortality is the ignorant and unclean midwife. It is estimated that 10,000 women in the South are in this practice, and ninety percent of our mothers are attended by them. 1ST SEPARATE CO. IN FIGHTING TRIM Pittsburgh, Pa., August 29—Baltimore members of the First Separate Company stationed here are in good physical condition although they are doing strict guard duty at the supply department. Word was received last week that the boys are soon to leave for their Southern cantonment, and everybody is elated with the prospect. The people of Pittsburg continhe to show their hospitality, and the office has been crowded with invitations to social functions which the regulars will not allow the men to accept. Sunday afternoons have become official visiting periods and citizens of all walks avail themselves of the opportunity to visit the boys and extend them the glad hand. The churches seem to have inaugurated a campaign among themselves to capture the greater number of the men avail themselves of the opportunity have been very successful as most of the men avail themselves of the opportunity to attend some service on Sunday. St. Luke's Fife and Drum Corps has patriotically offered its services for any occasion that may arise in their time. Among visitors from Baltimore were Mr. Thomas H. Buckingham, who visited the post enroute to Cleveland to attend the Elks' convention. Mrs. William J. Credit spent a few days in Pittsburgh while on her vacation and was seen quite often at the Post in company with her husband, our Ditchment Clerk. Mrs. Levi B. Rasin, wife of Sergeant Rasin, is now visiting here for an indefinite period and is often seen at the Post. Lieutenants Ryan and Harris on invitation extended had the pleasure of meeting the City Treasurer, Mr. W. H. Davis, at his office in the City Hall. Mr. Davis was formerly a major in the Pennsylvania National Guard and after having visited the Post, complimented the officers for discipline and accuracy at drill, which he witnessed. He requested the commander to call on him at any time for any assistance we may need while in his home city. Never before in the history of the company has so much interest been shown and it makes us feel as if strangers appreciate our efforts more highly than the home folks have in the last thirty-five years. PRINCESS ANNE ACADEMY PRAISED The one light spot in the school sys- school system of Somerset County is the Academy at Princess Anne according to the report of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the U. S. Bureau of Education. Figures show that Somerset County expends less on the education of the colored pupils than any other county in the state. According to the census of 1910, there were 16,978 white and 9,476 colored persons resident in the county. Of these 3,423 white and 2,250 colored were of school age 6-14. The county expended $40,802 for salaries of the teachers in white schools and only $4,622 for the salaries of the teachers in the colored schools. This means that $1.52 of teacher's salary was spent per colored child and $1.192 per white child. As the result of the small appropriation of colored schools for the colored people and 7.2 per cent of the white people are unable to read and write. There are 3$ colored teachers in Somerset county and an average attendance of 1,115 colored pupils. These statistics Dr. Jones reports, show that the work of the elementary schools should be extended and strengthened. ACADEMIC WELL MANAGED The academy at Princess Anne is referred to as a small, well managed school of secondary grade with a few pupils in elementary classes. The income of the school from all sources totals $15,528, of which $10,000 comes from the Federal Government for agricultural and mechanical training. Recommendations of Dr. Jones for the betterment of the school include making the school buildings safe from fire and mechanical training a larger part of the course of study, and using the boarding department for practise work of the domestic science pupils. Thus, Kiah is president of Princess Anne.

PRICE THREE CENTS M'GUINN MAKES CLEAR STATEMENT Assigns Reasons for His Candidacy for Member of Republican State Central Committee. Equity and Fair Political Dealing Demand Election of a Colored Republican to To the Editor of the Afro-American: Pursuant to the announcement in your issue of last week that I would make a statement to the voters of the 14 Ward embodying the feelings of my candidate for the Rev. of the Rev. State Central Committee. I am herewith submitting the following statement. FIRST There is a well defined and overwhelming sentiment in the Fourteenth Ward to the effect that, particular political unit should be represented in the councils of the Republican party in this city by a colored Republican. This sentiment is not a mere political impulse, but grounded upon justice, equity and fair-political dealing, is the growth of many years. Sixteen years ago, Mr. William L. Fisher, in response to the demand of the colored Republicans of the Ward became a candidate for this identical office. The writer not only supported his candidacy but managed his campaign. For my participation in his campaign, I became Persona non gratu to the Republican boss of this city and have remained so to this day. The sentiment then manifested gave Fisher a powerful vote, really electing him, although he did not receive the certificate of election. In those days of unlegalized primaries, the "window" was politically omnipotent and the "window" was against him. That sentiment caused manifested itself in 1915, when Mr. Allen was nominated for the City Council. SECOND Political equity and fair political dealing demand it. The total registered Republican vote in the Ward, to be exact, is 2479; the total colored vote is 2128, and it is safe to say that 2050 of this number, at least, are Republican voters. The situation then is this, that 75 per cent of the Republican vote of this political unit—the controlling element—has never had any direct representation in the management of party affairs. If we do not remedy this situation, it will be our own fault as can be readily seen from the figures adduced. THIRD Not only is our numerical strength potential, but the quality of our citizenry is of the highest type. The colored citizens of the 10th Ward, as a rule, are a property opening class, imbued with the sobering responsibilities that the ownership of property naturally inspires. They are heads of families rearing their children to come decent and law-ruiding citizens. They are sober, intelligent, industrious and God-fearing - a splendid asset not only to the Republican Party but to this City and State. FOURTH The election of a colored Republican committeeman would clarify the political situation in the Ward, and would strengthen the Republican Party in the city and state. The 14th Ward is normally Republican and on many occasions its vote has been determinative in important elections. The registered Democratic vote is 1742, the Republican vote is 2479. These figures show a clear Republican majority of 737. There is a declined vote of 405. If we allow the Democrats the whole of the declined vote there yet remains a clear Republican majority over all 323. Notwithstanding these presented today in the City Council by a Democrat. And since the defeat of Mr. McMechen, a clean, capable candidate, fairly nominated and possessing ability of a high order, the Ward will likely be divided, especially in local elections, unless the situation is remedied by fair political dealing.. The office of Member of the Republican State Central Committee is without salary or emolument. The effective exercise of its duties requires, at times, onerous work, the exercise of executive ability of a high order, great tact and some sacrifice. The compensatory returns are the right to a seat in the Councils of the Party and to assist in directing its affairs. I regard the State Central Committee not as a group of private individuals assembled to register their personal views of politics, or that of some political boss but as a representative body, who, upon matters vitally important in party affairs should register the general party will. I can not accentuate too forcibly nor make too clear the fact that if elected, I shall personally be on the job and no man shall parade around with my proxy in his pocket. I shall wear no yoke but that of the voters whose servant I shall be. This is my promise and pledge. Upon this statement I stand and upon this I ask for the support of the Republican voters of the 14th Ward. Respectfully submitted, WARNER T. McGUINN Election Tuesday, September 11th, 1917. Polls open from 6 A. M. to 5 P. M. S FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. A local agent of the Afro, not satisfied with the 25 or 40 copies sold each week to customers who called at his store, hit upon the idea of starting his small boy out with a bunch of papers to sell on the streece. In a few short months his sales had increased to 150 copies. When his second boys grew up a little, he too helped his brother with the route. The result is that these two boys and the store together sell 276 papers every week, and earn quite a tidy sum for themselves each week. Our out-of-town agents may not have boys of their own to start on a newspaper route, but if they can employ some youngster in the neighborhood, they will be surprised at the rate their sales will increase. Don't forget either, that the boy is getting a start to learn how to do business. Agents who have increased 5 or more this week are: Pomonkey, 5. Anacostia, D. C. 5. Mr Agent, is your name here?

The work in these first laundries was intended to collars, cuffs and similar starched and highly finished work. The first step toward invading the domain of the wash-woman, and taking over the family washing was the development of the "rough-dry" phase of the business. Special machinery was designed for the original steam as in the case of the original steam or laundry, and most up-to-date laundries now have a "rough-dry department" catering to family trade. The latest development, however, is the Wet Wash branch of the business, in which the family wash is returned to the home wet. While the rough-dry department of the laundry aims to cheapen the cost of bulk or family laundering, it has not sufficiently done so to reach the average American. On the other hand, the Wet Wash Laundress is bound to further reduce the cost of family trade heretofore unreached launders. It is likely, therefore, that the Wet Wash launderer is destined to become "launderer to the nation" and to support the wash-woman in the average American home. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY B CUSINESS OPPORTUNITY JOB NEEDS FOR NEGROES are many reasons why Neh should enter this field, the long which is the fact that by it they will prevent the cutting portion of the income of the city over 460,000 Negroes living a living, according to 1910 figures. On the same author- ly, 210 colored men and two engaged in 1910 as Owens, officials and man- There gro- men cheif and so do- ing of a race, by are male Census, alr women Lau- renders from race sentiment, and many other practi- ly the Negro will find business, and particular- ly branch of it invi- tithese are: 1. Once it may be entered upon with small capital. A Wet Wash Thin may be equipped for $1,000 or less. 2. Because it is a type of business in which prejudice will play little on no par with its proprietor may thus be considerable white trade-opening, of course, on the quality of service rendered. 3. With increasing prosperity among Negroes themselves much Negro family trade may be secured. This is especially true in Southern cities where are to be found the "exclusive white laundries." 4. It is the simplest phase of the laundry business, and that in which its owner can gain the necessary experience with which to enter the more complex phases of the laundering trade. 5. It is a field in which the proprietor will have little or no difficulty in finding skilled help of his own race. His better understanding of his employees will enable him to be in closer sympathy with them, and his success in such cases is much less difficult than those of his white competitor or fellow-tradesman. 6. The profits of the business range from 15 per cent to 18 per cent on total sales. That is, should the laundry turn out $200.00 worth of work each week, the net profit would be reasonable allowances for expenses, will be from $30.00 to $36.00 per week. (Part II will follow next week) (Note—FREE ADVISORY SERVICE. The management of this paper has arranged with the author of the above article to conduct a question and answer service, in connection with this and future articles in the series.

Mayfield Boyle, M. D. 430 N. Caroline Street FLIES AND DISEASES. It is a familiar fact that, fresh from fifth of whatever sort, the fly, without ceremony, sometimes defiantly, may elect to "strut" on the edge of the cream jar, taste of any dish at the table or flounder or kiss one's lip. Our tolerance of the fly in spite of our knowledge of its inseparability from it has not even the "good sense" a bishop might have in mind, snake-like. To feed, the fly sucks, but does not chew. As it cannot suck dry food it instinctively is wise enough to wet it with expectation, of which it has an abundance, laden with germs for just such use. By wetting and sucking the fly enjoys his theft of sugar as readily as it does a cup of cream. Not only does the fly deliberately wet its dry food, but if often vomits upon it. This is due to the stomach's lack of secretion. It stomach" due to the indesirable flit it feeds upon from time to time. And the fly will just as soon vomit in a bow lof sugar as on the side of a cream jar in the corner of the eye, on the window, pane, or wherever it pleases. To eat what the fly has contaminated is to eat what is even sickening to the fly itself. Surely whatever is obnoxious to the fly's stomach must be unaspookable bad. And yet, many are they who eat both after and before vomiting. Not only does the fly vomit and expectorate on its food but is bowels may be relied as many as fifteen times or more in an hour, particularly when feeding on liquids. All of these exercises are germ-laden. The question is often asked "what becomes of the fly in the winter?" Most of them die, other hibernate—that is to say, become stupid and insert like a snake—hiding in crevices until the weather is warm. In my article on gastro-intestinal disorders, I referred o the rate of traveling accomplished by flies within a given period. This knowledge was gained by actual experience, the flies having been previously caught and stained before being set free. In this condition they can be recognized when caught again. But the rate ofravel depends on a number of circumstances, namely, whether it is in the city or country; whether it is hot or cold; whether it is windy or calm; whether it is in a city; a warm wind day will enable flies to make long and wide excursions, while a cool day renders them less-active. Thus the rate oftravel varies from 300 yards to a mile or more from a few hours to one or more days. Not only does warm weather increase their activity but it also enables them to breed rapidly. If a constantly damp soil, decaying vegetables, garbage or animal remains are examined with a magnifying glass a number of worms, about a tenth of an inch in length, may be found wriggling about. These are called thread worms. These worms are never all of the same kind, some of them may be weaker or seriousthymus many diploplasmis, kylostomiasis, etc. These worms have been found in from 20 to 30 per cent of house flies, usually in their heads and mouths. By contaminating food or the lip of the flies leave behind these parasites that eventually enter the bowels and thus the intestinal walls into the body where the characteristics of the disease are manifest. Flies are undisputed carriers of certain deadly blood diseases which have provided the profession for centuries. A species or flies called the Tse-tse flies the notorious carriers of that most drenaded of tropical diseases called the sleeping sickness. Flies are no friends of man. They enter the house uninvited, eat of the best at the table, occupy any apartments they choose, leaving behind diseases in return for hospitality enjoyed. A fly dropped in a glass of milk is usually removed after it has struggled hither and thither in vain for freedom—care being taken to remove the fly only and the smallest portion of the milk with it. If one bears in mind that the entire fly — mouth, body, limbs, stomach rectum — is full of germs and that the chances of infection with the vomit of the fly have been left behind, it will be readily seen that the entire milk ought to be thrown away, not into the garbage can or on the ground, out INTO THE SEWER. Contaminated portions of solid food should be liberally removed in order to be sure that no trace of the deposit is left behind. Better than this is the ounce of prevention which lies in the good sense of screening in summer; in summer; for there are times when the wily fly may have done its work and disappeared, the result of which only remains to be discovered in a serious case of typhus: fever, cholera morbus, diarrhea, coniher infantum or some other serious, ir not fatal disease. The cost of serenes and garbage can is always less than drug and doctor's bills, certainly much less than the cost of oftimes jokingly used, is big with serious consequences and may redown to great blessings in disguise to those who submit it to a practical demonstration.

PAYABLE IN ADVANCE Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar With 32 openings for the enlistment of colored physicians in Missouri, not one man stepped forward. Perhaps they are too close to E. S. Louis. --- Lord Baltimore will be ready with open arms to receive the I. B. P. O. Elks in annual convention in 1918. The local delegation, now in Cleveland deserves congratulations. St. Joseph, Missouri, colored folk are forming and drilling a home guard. That is what Houston needs. In order to "frighten" her husband, a Pennsylvania woman shot him in the head. Needless to say he was nearly scared to death. At last the United States Navy is open to enlistment of colored men. They want waiters. The East Saint Louis grand jury investigation is rather remarkable in that it has not fastened the blame on "persons unknown." --- By the arrangement of paragraph headings of the article on local schools in the issue of August 18, impression was made that Morgan College was one of the local schools deemed unworthy of aid. Dr. Jones did say that Morgan College is effectively managed and that its teachers are well trained. What it needs is to move to its new site, which it is now doing, and reorganize its work on a larger scale. Morgan College is worthy of every assistance that farseeing friends can give it. WHO WILL THE NEW LEADERS BEEN Two of the foremost schools in the country for the training of our youth must have new leaders during the coming year. Death has robbed Hampton of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, and Howard University loses the services of President Stephen N. Newman thru resignation. Who will be the new leaders for these schools? Both schools are similarly placed. They are the leading schools of their class, they are governed by trustee boards, composed of both races, and the majority of these boards are white men. Hampton draws its support from philanthropic whites mainly and Howard from the national government. As likely candidates for Dr. Newman's position, the names of Kelly Miller, Roscoe C. Erince, assistant superintendent of the Washington colored schools, Dr. Edw. L. Parks, treasurer of Howard, Thomas Jesse Jones, U. S. Department of Education Expert, on Negro Education, and W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the "Crisis." Strangely enough Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, who is a trustee of Howard has also been mentioned as a probable successor of the late head of Hampton Institute. Ex-President Wm. Howard Taft is said to have been requested to consider the tender of the office as have Captain Washington. Commandant of Hampton and Emmet J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee. Persons in close touch with the situation in both institutions feel that another white principal of Hampton is a certanty, but express the hope that Howard trustees will agree this year on some one of the available educators of the race. TIME FOR A CHANGE For many years it has been the policy of the Republican party of the state, to a large extent, to ignore the colored voter in the party councils, the result of which has been that the colored members of the State Central Committee have been few and far between. In Wards and Districts where the colored voter has been largely in the majority with the possible exception of the Seventeenth Ward, few colored men of any prominence, because of conditions stated above, have felt inclined to offer themselves as candidates on this committee. It is gratifying to know that there are evidences of a change in this direction, at least as far as the colored men themselves are concerned. There is a general feeling, that if we as a constituent part of the republican party, are being relied upon at the general election to cast an almost solid vote for that party, we ought at least have representation in the party councils equal to our numeral strength. We are glad to note that in the Fourteenth Ward of this city this matter has been taken up seriously, with the result that Mr. Warner T. McGuinn, a prominent lawyer, has offered himself as a candidate for the State Central Committee. This Ward, not withstanding its large colored vote, has always been represented by a white man. It is to be hoped that the colored voters of this Ward will see to it that Mr. McGuinn is elected by polling the full strength of the colored vote. In Mr. McGuinn's statement to the voters of the 14th Ward, found on another page of this issue, he says: "I cannot accentuate too forcibly nor make too clear the fact that if elected, I shall personally be on the job, and no man shall parade around with my proxy in his pocket. I shall wear no yoke, but that of the voters, whose servant I shall be. This is my promise and my pledge. Upon this statement I stand and ask the support of the voters of the 14th Ward." We need in the party councils men of Mr. McGuinn's standing, who will look after the interest of the colored voters and not be the tool of any man or men, thereby opening the door in the future for a larger and better representation of the colored people in the party councils. THE HOUSTON UPRISING Out of all the jumble of anger and hatred and prejudice that has reached the North concerning the uprising of the 24th Infantry stationed at Houston, Texas, several indisputable causes appear. The white people of Houston were opposed to the coming of the 24th to the city, with the result that considerable hostility sprang up between the police and the soldiers. Before the uprising, the officers of the regiment requested the police to refrain from using the word "nigger" in referring to 24th boys. A white policeman roughly handled a colored woman in making an arrest, and beat up a 24th soldier who objected to such treatment. Later in the day another soldier was arrested on some trifling charge and soundly beaten when he resisted. Angered by the continued insults, the discrimination, and the humiliation of the police and the civilians the soldiers lost their heads. When the smoke of the uprising cleared away they had shot up the town, killing fifteen whites and wounding a score more. It is regrettable that the soldiers so far forgot themselves as to spill innocent blood, yet there is another side to the controversy. The 24th is composed of regulars, with good army records. When the regiment went to Columbus, New Mexico with Pershing last year, they found that the civilians were peeved at their coming, that the shopkeepers were unwilling to serve them, and restaurants averse to serving them food. Instead of resenting it, the soldiers gave a minstrel show in a big theatre with the citizens as the guests of honor. They had to repeat the performance, and then the town belonged to them. After six months peaceful stay in Columbus, citizens could not speak too highly of the regiment's behavior. This is the kind of troopers to be found in the 24th, men not unused to rudeness and prejudice of the southerners. The uprising, led by a noncommissioned officer and participated inky 100 men shows plainly how great the provocation must have been. Mr. Roosevelt very forcibly said to Mr. Compers sometime ago that murder is undebatable, and he is right. But it is worth noting as the New York Evening Globe' states, "the breeders of disorder are those who still hold with Chief Justice Taney that the Negro has no rights that the white man is bound to respect." Secretary Baker has up to this point refused to recall his decision assigning Northern colored drafted units to Southern camps. We hope he sticks to it. The white South has got to get used to the colored man who keeps his hat on, and resents insults that no gentleman will stand. SUSPEND JCDGMENT. Continued from Page 1. proud to fight." With equal force it may be said that a man may be too manly to continually submit to extreme brutal treatment. Even the patient ox may be goaded to desperation. The fact is the white race by precipitating a world-war has turned man's earthly abode into a vitable hell, and there is no telling when the fires of damnation will be extinguished or what elements will be consumed while they are raging. If plain speaking is in order, let both sides be heard. Nothing that I have written is to be construed as indicating the least desire on my part to condone any intraction of discipline by the Negro troops in question. Let no guilty man escape. ELLIOTT — In sad but loving remembrance of my dear brother, Robert Alfonsus Elliott, who departed this life March 31, 1916, 17 months ago. And can it be that you departed and left me Sleep on dear brother and take your rest. God called you home He knew best. He is safe in the arms of Jesus He is close to His gentle breast He is safe in the arms of Jesus Ever there his soul shall rest. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform He is his fountain in the sea And rides upon the storm. You are not forgotten brother dear, And never will you be For as long as life and memory last I will remember thee. Eternal rest grant him, O Lord And let the perpetual shine upon him May he rest in peace — Amen. GILLES—In remembrance of William H. Giles, who died August 19, 1917.

AT THE REGENT Hattie Brown's Butterfly Dance was a feature of the vaudeville bill at the Regent this week, that included a big stock company of eight people. As the lights changed, and the pictures of Lincoln and the American flag were thrown on her as she danced, the chic little commendaine captured the early elegance of the Briggs-Wife; on Tuesday and "East Lyngrine" on Monday drew capacity houses there was standing room only both nights. "Selznick and Fox pictures are expensive," said Mr. Mosely, the other day," and the only way we are able to run them is that we get a 50 per cent reduction during the summer months. Only the biggest theatres charging 25 and 30 cents down town can afford to run the pictures we are now offering. The company has such pictures that no other house of its size can afford, is a part of its policy to give our patrons the best that is on the market." "CIVILIZATION" AT THE CAREY "Civilization," Thomas H. Inez's million dollar spectacle, thought by many to be the most stupendous spectacle in modern times was shown at the Carey Theatre on Monday. The admission was advanced to ten cents but the theatre was packed and a good crowd stood on the sidewalk hoping to get in. Patrons of the Carey, who were thus forced to miss the play have gotten proprietor Cremon to book "Civilization" for a second performance. The date will be announced through the columns of this paper shortly. CUMMINGS STRICKEN City Councilman Harry S.

That vinegret if too strong should be diluted in the proportion of one cup of water to each pint of strong older that vinegar too sour is as bad as vinegar to work. That syrup or sweet pickles should be made in proportion to one-fourth vinegar. as much vinegar as you like That you can buy a box of spices especially put up for pickeling called "spices." pickle spices That you can tie your spices in a thin muslin cloth and boll them in the syrup, or the spices can be put out directly in the syrup and a little piece of horse radish added to each jar of pickle as it helps to keep the pickle unwoolling. from mound. That by lining the vegetables for 10 or 15 minutes in the syrup or vinegar the pickles will be ready for use sooner than if poured over the pickle and sealed. That pickles should be cooked in a porcelain-scooped kettle and stirred with a wooden spoon. That iron kettles and spoons discolor or the pickle which is often affected the acid. by the acid. That if you must boil your pickle 10 or 15 minutes the cucumbers and green tomatoes will be greener if put into cold vinegar and allowed to heat slowly. slowly. That cucumbers should be soaked from one to three days in brine that just as our will float an egg. That you should not forget to wash them well after taking from the brine. in ice cold water. That pickels will taste better and keep better if the spices are allowed to stay in the vinegar or syrup. CHOW CHOW 6 green pepper 1 quart green tomatoes Chop the vegetables separately and put in salt water over night, allowing 'one teaspoon of salt to each half gallon of water. In the morning, cook them in the water they have been in over night—except the cucumbers which should not be cooked—until tender. Pour into a collander and allow to stand until drained of all surplus water. While the vegetables are draining, make the sauce: 1 gallon vinegar. 1 pound mustard. 3 cups sugar, brown or maple preferred. 2 full cups flour. 1 ounce tunicate. Put the vinegar on, then add the sugar. Stir up the mustard, flour and tunicate with a little vinegar and thicken the vinegar. When thick and boiling hot, stir in the vegetables until mixed thoroughly; then put in glass jars or crocks, add a piece of horse radish and seal. BICKLED TOMATOES. Always use those that are thoroughly ripe. The small, rips ones, I have found, are decidedly the best. Do not prick them, as most books and people direct. Let them lie in strong brine or for two or three days, then take out and put down in layers in jars, mixing with small onions and pieces of horse radish. Then pour in vinegar (cold) which should have been first spiced. Let there be a spice bag to throw into every pot. Cover carefully and set in a cool cellar or cool dark closet a full month before using. NOTE In making chow-chow, if you have a surplus of carrots and green beans too ripe to can, use them in your chow chow by scraping the carrots and laying them in water over night and cooking the same as the other vegetables before adding to the sauce. The beans should be hulled before using. All vegetables added beside those given should be treated the same way. If you have no cauliflower, use 3 If you have no cabbage heads of cabbages shop fine.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR JOHN W. RICH FINDS DES MOINES WORTH WHILE Editor Afro-American: To leave Baltimore and take a trip West, you can generally travel like a gentleman, but when you reach a city like Chicago, but when you reach a city like YMCA, where you can throw your bag upon the counter and register your name and engage a room it makes you feel like a real gentleman. After spending the day in Chicago where there is something doing nearly every minute, and where I had the opportunity of viewing the 8th Illinois making preparations to go to Houston, Texas, I took the train over the Rock Island Railroad for Des Moines, Iowa, for the purpose of visiting the colored Officers Reserve Training Camp. Not being able to obtain accommodations at Thompson Hotel, a well appointed hostelry, I was directed across the street, a residence of the Herbert J. Wright, formerly the American Consul at Venezuela, Central America. After breakfast, Mr. Wright, took me around town in his automobile and then we found our way to Fort Mr. Thomas Winder 5.00 Des Moines, where the rookies are training. The military Academy at Annapolis has nothing on Fort Des Moines. I arrived at the camp just in time to see the Baltimore boys at work digging trenches, and they are some more trenches. Work ceased at four o'clock and they marched back to the barracks to prepare for dress parade at five. The demonstration of the barracks was the present at six o'clock, the lowering of the flag, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner was a great revelation and well worth a trip of over 1300 miles to see. 1 was the ghost of Company 2, at the Camp, met all the officers, who are a fine set of men, took supper with them and attended the evening class from seven until eight o'clock, where the subject of 'offenses' and Court Martial procedure were discussed by the officers and men; I was as fine a lecture as I ever attended. I was introduced to the company by Sergeant Major Bruce Williams, who requested me to make a few remarks. After a ten-minute talk Mr. Gough McDaniels was requested to make a response which he did in great style. Leave was then granted the men to make preparation for the demonstration (taking place at the State Fair today (Saturday), where the whole regiment will parade). I had the pleasure of meeting all the Baltimore boys and a great many of the men from Washington. The camp as a whole is composed of some of the best men in the country and Company No. 2 is considered the crack company of the camp. Editor, The Afro-American: The account in your issue of August 25, of the address of John Hurst, at the commencement exercises of the Georgia State College, at Savannah, June 13, contains a statement which, in my opinion, does President R. R. Wright an injustice. The statement in part is, that the Bishop's manly and straightforward exposition of the causes of the Negro migration northward cannot be resolved in the face of the abusive chilis and thus the "offer wards allowed Bishop Hurst to leave the campus of the college without escort." I was present on that occasion, had a seat on the platform, heard with extreme pleasure and apprehension the address of Bishop Hurst, saw and heard Judge Mildrim's manifestations of disapproval, and witnessed the joyful and rapturous reception which the large audience gave the Bishop, when he concluded his address. As the Bishop took seat amid a storm of applause, President Wright advanced to him and extended his hand in hearty congratulation. I left the camp and proceeded to the house before the Bishop and therefore cannot speak with knowledge as to whether he left the college without escort. I do know, however, that President Wright left the campus with me, and went to a meeting of his trustees of whom Judge Mildrum is chairman. I neither saw, nor heard anything before, during, or after the commencement exercises indicating fear, posillimity or other unworthy trait. The commencement orations of the young people were thoughtful, courageous and self-respecting. At least two of them contained a vision of the world democracy, and of the other visions of huge opportunities. We would come to the Negro as the result of the present war. Still another related the story of the Negro as soldier and patriot, and enforced the conclusion that such a record would yield the fruit of social justice and equal opportunity. President Wright is doing a magnificent work at Savannah without adequate appropriations of money, without adequate teaching force, and without adequate buildings, or equipment of shops, laboratories or library. As I saw what he was accomplishing with meager and sanguine resources, I could but wonder at the amount of thought and enthusiasm he was putting into the sum of the proposition that I brought away from the State College is that President Wright is doing all that any man can do, in the circumstances to develop a healthy, intelligent, efficient and self-respecting manhood and womanhood in the youth of the race. Very truly yours. L. M. HERSHAW. Washington, D. C. August 27, 1977. ANOTHER LIE MAILED Dear Editor: There are so many false and disparaging "convictions" in the public mind concerning the colored American, that every time we get a chance to moll up one of the big lies where its nature can be well exposed, we ought to do it. That colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, in proof many "foregone conclusions" about our Negro men. Of all these possible exposures, I regard the following as one of the most important, and one that should be advertised by every Negro paper in the Union. It is perfectly well "known" that the Negro race is peculiarly infected UNION TABERNACLE MEETING The Officers and Members of Shiloh A. M. E. Church and Sta Matthews M. E. Church.

GREEN, PASTORS. and infested by venereal diseases and that the social evil has spread disease in all of his classes; not that the race suffers from these diseases, but as other races do, but that it is especially" and exceptionally infested. Now listen at the facts: when twelve hundred and fifty Negro men were examined by white army surgeon at Fort. Des Moines only six men out of that whole number were found so infected, but the other that the OFFER camps were examined eight times that proportion were found so infected. That's worth telling, because of the well-understood lie to the contrary. To the Editor: Enclosed you will find One (81) Doing—Money order form—for the renewal of my subscription to the Afo.

HOW THE BULL DOG DOES IT A great big brindle bulldog nosed around a Westport car when it arrived at the end of the line the other after- ternoon. It be been an am- mong thorobred or a bull- yeller bull terror but there was no denying that it was big and belligerent. "I hate those things worse than sin" said the conductor. "So do I" echoed the mormon, and climbed into the front part of the car out of the way. Until the car started on the rear trip, the brindle bulb pup continue to nose around the car and even climbed up on the running board. No woe of protest was made by the car crew who seemed relieved when the dog was left some squares behind. Can any reader imagine what would have happened had the dog been a little yaller our instead of a brindle bull? Property for Sale.

Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. 17 YEARS TORMENT For 17 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. 1369 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.
