F. W. H. Indorsement of the Candidacy of the Honorable Robert F. Stanton To succeed himself as Associate Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City By Colored Members of the Baltimore Bar To the Colored Voters of Baltimore City: Judge Robert F. Stanton was appointed by Governor Goldsborough January 10th, 1916 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Thomas Ireland Elliott. During his incumbency, a period of nearly two years, he has exhibited, to an unusual degree, those very rare qualities that enter into the making of an acceptable judge. He is in the prime of life, with all of his physical powers alert and active, his mental faculties clear and decisive. He is possessed of judicial "temperment." The proper administration of the law —"which hears before it condemns"—requires full and particular inquiry. Reasonable opportunity to be heard, without irritability on the part of the presiding judge, is the first step towards justice. He is a splendid product of our local institutions. His education and training which amply fit him for this high position in his profession having been largely acquired by his own exertions. The almost unanimous opinion of the members of the Bar, who have had business in his court, is that his rulings have been uniformly impartial and fair and that in his decisions, he has exhibited a profound knowledge of the law and strong common sense. His whole life, private and public, reflects abundant credit upon him as an individual and his professional career, particularly measures up to the highest traditions of the bench and bar. The colored citizens of this city have, for many years past, taken an active and creditable part in every movement that has had for its object the divorcement of the judiciary from ordinary politics. They have constantly subscribed to the idea that, if good government is to be fully realized, it must come largely through an intelligent incorruptible and fearless judiciary.—Adhering to this principle, colored voters have, in the past, frequently indorsed the candidacies of gentlemen for the judiciary who were nominated by the Democratic party. That indorsement was given on the record of those candidates, for fairness, efficiency and intelligence and it was richly deserved. Judge Stanton, however, is a Republican and a candidate on the Republican ticket, to succeed a Republican Judge who has died. He has made good as a judge and according to the practice that has obtained in Baltimore City, respecting our judges, he should receive the reward which Baltimore City is accustomed to bestow upon those who prove their fitness in judiciary positions and be elected to a full term. Supporting the non-partisan idea for our judiciary and for the reason hereinbefore stated, we cordially indorse the candidacy of Judge Stanton to succeed himself as Associate Judge of the Supreme Bench and commend him to the favorable consideration of the colored voters of Baltimore City.

C., asserted that there were none present who would urge that colored Episcopalians cline the financial aid received from whites and many of own race support and prizes. REV. BENNETT REPLIES The statement by Mr. Gould brought forth prompt and emphatic replies from Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg and Rev. E. R. Bennett. Mr. Bennett declared that there were some white men working in the colored churches who were insincere in regard to the race, though they managed to conceal that fact. He urged that whites who accounted for our collar should try to see the struggles of the race from the angle of the colored people. Rev. Edward C. Young, of Philadelphia, read an interesting paper on Thursday night on "The Gospel Message and its Effectual Delivery." The paper evoked a lively discussion.

CHANCES GOOD Split Among Democrats Mages Things Look Good For Atwood, Schirm and Stanton The candidates and politicians of both parties are beginning to get on a hustle, and things will be simmering until the election in November. The split between State and city Democrats over the question of the annexation of more territory to the city limits, has made the publicans regard their chances being exceedingly bright. Then there is the new deal in the management of the party, which regarded as an amen of the day of better things. The Republican Campaign Committee met Tuesday and Thursday nights to plan for the fight now on. Warner T. McGuinn was present at each meeting. Uncle James N. Young, of the Seventeenth ward, has also been much in evidence of late. William O. Awood will make an energetic campaign for election as State Committee. It is believed by many that the split in the Democrats will hurt the chances of Hugh A. McWillen for reelection. Should the Republicans elect Atwood and carry their Legislative ticket it will mean a publican State Transition to a publican control of the Board of Public Works. STANTON'S FRIENDS ACTIVE Judge Stanton's friends are rallying around his candidacy, and will do their best to "put him over." He has a strong opponent in Albert S. J. Owens, however. Charles E. Norris, one of the Republican candidates, the Third District, has made a role of friends. He is an auctioneer, and thousands of people like him for his genial personality. Charles R. Schirn, candidate for clerk of the City Court, will soon let his eloquent tongue loose on the hustings and tell him he should be electors to the City Schirn is some talker and campaigner. It is said that one John S. Kelly, whom Mayor Preston and Danny Loden do not smile about when they think of him, is desirous of carrying the Fourth Legislative district. Now Kelly is an easygoing boss, and has some friends among the colored people, and some of these friends are said to be ready to endure to persuade some of their brethren to turn to the Republican ticket this time. Should such happen and Kelly win, then there would be some "cussing" in and around the City hall. THAT ANNEXATION BUSINESS Speaking about annexation of more territory to Baltimore city reminds one that the Greater Baltimore Non-partisan League has not sought to "annex" the support of the colored people of this city by the public, which exclusion seems to be their policy when it comes to the colored brother. Segregation has the colored people all "bottled-up" and the policy of exclusion from the councils of the annexationists places into the hands of indignant colored voters a weapon by which they could keep the city outted, outted, outted, so the public narrow as the exclusive advocates of more territory. And by the way, former Mayor Timans is chairman of the league. 17th WARDERS MEET The Permanent Republican Club of the Seventeenth Ward held the opening rally of the present campaign at Odd Fellows' Hall on Monday evening. A good-sized crowd representing all elements of the voters of the ward was present. Daniel W. Richardson presided. The principal address was delivered by City Councilman Albert M. Sproesser, candidate for the State Senate. He reviewed the issues now confronting the people and declared it to be his purpose to work in the interest of all the people should be elected. Other addresses were delivered by James N. Young, State Central Committeeman for the Ward, William E. Tilghman, John W. Martin, Benjamin F. Boyer, Louis H. Davenport and Or. Howard E. Young. Education was adopted praising the recent changes in the management of the affairs of the Republican party, its stand for annexation and pledging the support of the voters of the ward for the Republican program and ward for the Republican prerogram and candidates.

Seratoga St Baltimore, M1 Phone, Gilmore 2292-W SPROESSER TO WAGE HOT FIGHT Candidate for State Senate in Fourth District Has Always Been Friendly to Interests Former State Senator Albert M. Sproesser, now a candidate for the same office from the Fourth Legislative District, is a seasoned legislator and a Republican who has been interested always in the success of his career. "I need not tell the colored people that I will always aim, as in the past, to give them a square deal. I have always stood for equity. I have justice or for every one no matter what his color or previous condition of servitude. When chosen president of the First Branch City Council in 1901, Mr. Sproesser appointed the late Hiram Watty a member of two important committees—those on Ways and Means and Railways. In doing so he incurred opposition from certain Republican leaders, including the Senator McCommack who accused that such action meant his political annihilation. Nevertheless the appointment stood. He has always fought all measures aimed against the colored people, including disfranchisement. Any measures coming before the legislature in which the colored people are keenly interested in promoting he said would have his earnest and sincere support. "The hundreds of colored people who know me can say truthfully that I have always stood for a soil, even deaf for a sound, I can say perhaps that I am interested in the welfare of all the people." Mr. Sproesser is a lawyer. He is a Second Branch City Councilman from the Fourth district and also represents the district on the Republican State Central Committee. CELESTIAL CHAPTER INSTALLS Celestial Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons installed the following officers Tuesday night: J. H. A. Hill, most excellent high priest; Stephen Robinson, king; Louis H. Divenport, scribe; Macauley Dorsey, secretary; Robert Jackson, treasurer. Rev. Dr. H. Weaver, who is back in the city after an absence of years was restored to membership. John H. Murphy, Jr., who retired, as most excellent grand high priest, was presented a handsome diamond stickpin as a recognition of his three years' service in that office. NEWS BRIEFS Provident Hospital, Chicago, needs $15,000 to cover a deficit. Owing to lack of funds, the dispensary has been losed. According to the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide, colored men and women of that city, who insist that they paid living wages, are to be arrested as "loafers."

GETTING READY TO BEGIN Doctor R. R. Moton's visit to President Wilson has born fruit, it seems, in the appointment of Emmet J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee, to the post of colored advisor of the secretary of War. Two other advisors, whites were appointed at the same time. Mr. Scott, has taken up his residence in Washington. What Mr. Scott's duties will be in his new post can only be surmised. The secretary of War stated to the delegate of the Colored Officers at Fort Des Moines recently that his office was crowded every day with dissatisfied southern senators and representatives, who wanted special disposition made of the colored soldiers. Some of them urged that colored men be kept in this country, others that they be sent abroad only as laborers and stevedors etc. The problem of doing justice by the colored citizens of this country, pleasing the southerners, and at the same time carrying on the war led Mr. Baker to remark that "the hardest problem the War Department had to face was the disposition of colored soldiers." The press of the country has not knew up this tatement of the Secre- ture War and published it broad- ly me, no. It might show administration up in its fact never the less really no statement of it was really necessary to everybody already knew. We now have the admin- word for it, that the missing money in the Lib- erate greater problem of it, equipping them prop- them and getting them in battlefields without of German submarines. of problems, calling for millions of men and bil- lost the WarDepart- ment than the race prob- ments of drafted he partially complet- elf of them could with uniforms and today recruits are sticks because the art cannot furnish mens. Ex-president ordered the admin- what he called business." No re- quire handle a gun in bedroomstick, he in about America's pre- emptive to give the ailies aerial bombs, have said that American troops, as constructed at present, be easy marks for the faster human craft. Freight trains, our machines have been called. Even our regular troops, who have been some months on French soil, are still engaged in learning modern warfare, and to use Mr. Roosevelt's words again "getting ready to begin." Still how could these things be otherwise, when the administration acknowledges that its most difficult problem is not to get on with the war, but to keep Southern Congressmen quiet on the race question. To return to Mr. Emmet Scott. The Secretary of Tuskegee is known to be a Southern Colored man who knows how to get on with white Southerners. In obtaining his services for the War Department, the administration evidently hopes to "begin" to make greater progress with the preparations for war. The confession of the marriage license, clerk that all colored people look alike to him, and that he finds it impossible to identify them after having issued them licenses is also an admission of his unfitness for the position he holds. To the average colored man all white people look alike. It is impossible to change human faces so that the reasonable thing to do is to get a marriage license clerk with a little more discernment. While a great deal will be accomplished by the country-wide Fire Prevention day that was held last Tuesday on the 46th anniversary of the great Chicago fire, the one million dollars that goes up in smoke every day in the United States will not be materially lessened until every day is made fire prevention day. Here are some suggestions which will aid in Fire Prevention if carried into effect every day: "Don't smoke where it is not permitted. "Never drop a lighted match, cigar or cigarette. "Report suspicious strangers seen about stores, plants or public buildings. "Carry these precautions into your own home. "Keep your house and yard, as well as your store, shop, office or factory free from rubbish, trash or other inflammable material. "Remember that 90 per cent of the fires are due to CARELESSNESS. DODGING EACH OTHER Colored drafted men will not be the last to be called, nor will they be the first, was the statement issued from War Department early in the fall. Since that time, the date set for the calling out of Baltimore's colored quota has been changed twice and is now set for the last of this month. It looks as if the War Department is dodging the call for the colored drafted men. Meanwhile some of the men called by the draft boards have not been idle. A well known physician drank no water for two weeks before he was called before the examining board. He slept as little as possible and kept on the move. The board found him 20 pounds below the average weight of men of his height, suggested that he probably had tuberculosis, and rejected him as physically unfit. This phycician has since regained most of his normal weight. Another case has come to light of a youth who fasted two weeks in order to get by the draft board. Called by mistake the first time he took absolutely no nourishment for a week before reporting. When told to come back a week later, he fasted the second week too, and was rejected by the board because of underweight. Fifteen pounds under normal weight is enough to disqualify candidates from the service according to some boards, and the question is just becoming mooted how many have avoided service by abstinence from food and water. A youth from Coffeyville, Kansas, was picked up on the streets of Washington the other day charged with evading the draft law. It was said he had gotten out of service simply by leaving home and coming Eust. All of which goes to show that some people have found more ways to keep from going to war than by cutting off the trigger finger or hastily getting married. If it is true that the War Department is dodging the colored drafted men, it seems also true that some drafted men are dodging the war department—A good American fifty-fifty. The paper of Mrs. S. C. Fernandis, president of the Women's Cooperative Civic League read before the meeting of social workers which was held in S. Mary's Hall last February is published in the October number of the Southern Workman. The article deals with the social service work in Baltimore carried on under the auspices of the league.

Va., Oct. 11—The opening of Storer College here has been unusually auspicious. Enrollment at the end of the first week exceeded that of one year ago, and the fear of the faculty that the war would seriously interrupt the plans of a number of students who wanted to return, have happily proven groundless. The Freshman class numbers about fifty, and is one of the best prepared that has ever entered. Miss Brayton, teacher of millinery and dressmaking, resigned during the summer to accept a position in the city school at Plymouth, Mass. Miss Green, training teacher, left us to enter High School work, adding to the faculty Mr. Daniel, a Virginia Union man, the ranking scholar of his class and one distinguished in all branches of athletics and things musical. He comes as teacher of history and is doing the work in German in the absence of the regular teacher, Mrs. MacDonald. Miss Coe, a returner missionary and graduate of Mr. Green, takes the place of Miss Green. The state of Virginia recently sent to us Mr. White and Mrs. Gray, the one to urge the wisdom of getting hold of the land and helping to develop its resources, the other to give demonstrations in food conservation. Both of these people were most cordial in their praise of everything they found in the school. The girls in the dressmaking de- considerable portion of their time in Red Cross work. From the local chapter there has gone to the Harriet Tubman branch in Washington a very nice bundle of supplies and still more are to follow. On Saturday evening last occurred the usual entertainment of the new students, in the gymnasium, given by the teacher, aanned and shiny occasion. The musical numbers as well as the spoken words of greeting were all timely and appreciated. This year a course in Bible Study will be given to each class under the teaching of Dr. Arter, pastor of the college church. This work will lead to a Sunday School Teacher Training Class diploma, and is considered a step in emphasizing Christian education. RICHARD M. PIPER DEAD.

At one time Mr. Piper was an active member of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church and the St. Mary's Metrical Society. A widow and five children survive. Pleased With Dr. Stokes, Hampton's New Principal. "I regard the selection of Anson Phelps Stokes as principal of Hampton institute as one of the best that could be made." Dr. William Plectens, dean of organ surgery. He graduated as representative of the American the other day. "I became acquainted with Mr. Stokes while a student at Yale University, and learned to admire him. I know that he has long been interested in the educational progress of the race, and hope that he can find it convenient to give up his duties as secretary of Yale University to accept the principalship of Hampton Institute." BAPTIST SCHOOL OPENS Clayton-Williams University and Lee and Hays University, schools run by local Baptists, have resumed sessions. New courses are being offered at both institutions. Revs. James R. Diggs and W. J. Winston are the respective heads.

In ancient Egypt, Spiritualism was the very foundation of the national Feligion. ‘The Bgyptian High Priest taught the initiated that the ‘soul was immortal, and. the visible world: Is but the picture of the invisible spiritual world. Spiritualism was demonstrat- ed and ‘practiced through the ages. Spiritualism is not Ghost-ism; Spirit- baligm means to converse with unseen intelligencies and it 1s as anclent 2s vemotest antiquity. ‘The disciples were all spiritual. Paul saw a “house not made with hands eternal in the heavens.” He had vis- fons he was entranced: heard voices: spirit, intelligencies speaking to him out of the unseen. Read what the Bible says: "Now “concerning spiritual _ gifts, ‘brethren, I would not have you ignor- ant. Now their are diversities of gifts but the same spirit. But the manifes- tition of the Spirit is given to every- one to profit withal. For to one Is given by the Spirit, the word of wis- dom, knowledge, faith, gift of heal- ing, the working of miracles, prophe- oy discerning, of spirits and all other gifts.” Cor.
