FOR CAMP MEADWEDNESDAY AFTERNOON VOL. XXVI, No. 9 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 30,000 SWARTHY AMERICANS CALLED TO THE COLORS. Drafted Men Given Rousing Send-off As They Leave For The Various Cantonments.—900 Baltimore Boys Off. Thirty thousand colored men have answered the call of their country under the selective draft and are now at several of the sixteen army cantonments. They are to be trained to take part in the big drive that the United States is going to make against German aggression and the fendishness of the rulers of that country. They are going to help make the words of President Wilson true, that this country is fighting for the spread of democracy. They are going to show their country and the world that the American Negro is willing to maintain his reputation as a first class fighting man and that he is not one whit less brave than the African or West Indian troops who are now at the front with the Allies. The men were given a fine send-off as they left for the various cantonments. Governors, mayors and leading citizens vied with each other in trying to show that the colored selected draft men of their respective communities and states were as highly regarded as any other patriotic element of the population. Reports indicate that the leave-taking all over the country was an auspicious event, with Baltimore lagging a little behind in enthusiasm. From nearly every Maryland town, however, comes the news that the men were given a big ovation as they departed for Camp Meade. One white man in Ellicott City gave each of the 34 colored drafteres a one dollar bill and in Frederick the Mayor and other prominent citizens turned out. No less enthusiastic were the colored people of the various Maryland communities as well as the rest of the country. A large number of the nine hundred men from the city left Sunday from Camden Station, twelve coaches being required to take them. The men assembled at the various division headquarters early Sunday morning, where they received the cards entitleing them to transportation. The Eighteenth warders left their headquarters on Mulberry street above Schroeder, marching to music furnished by the Southern Star Band. The Fourth warders were picked up on Baltimore street, and they marched to Camden Station, in the wake of fathers, mothers, sisters, sweethearts and brothers. Around Camden Station several thousand people were congregated. The Southern Star played and played, thus keeping up the spirits of all. They even played for a number of white soldiers who were leaving that morning. KISSES, LAUGHTER AND TEARS Women cried, hugged and kissed those going away, while the men lacy of Judge Stanton to succeed him Judge of the Supreme Bench and comfavorable consideration of the colored re City. Signed 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.

With all its seriousness the event was not with out its humorous aspects. One fellow who had taken a last bout with Captain John Barleycorn, was seen marching down Baltimore street somewhat in the rear of his comrades, reeling and singing "I don't love nobody, and nobody cares for me." Then told by a policeman to hurry or he would miss the train, he said: "I'll be on hand in time to fight the Germans." The friends of another fellow gave him about fifteen packs of cigarettes, which were piled upon the asphalt. When he made an attempt to take a pack, the draftree yelled: "Go 'way man, I would fight the Governor if he started to take one of them." OTHERS LEAVE WEDNESDAY The last batch of local men left for Camp Mende Wednesday, going by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The men from the 14th ward all seemed happy when a photographer of the Afro-American lined them up to take a picture. As the boys were leaving in special cars from the draft board headquarters at Linden avenue and Laurens street, one of the boys spied one of his "friends," a policeman. He leaned out of the car window and said "it will be a h--- of a time before you will have the pleasure of arresting me again." The copper smiled. The scene at Union Station was not without its pathos. Aged women, parting with their only sons, wept as they realized the seriousness of the parting. Nor were they alone. Sisters and sweethearts were seen with tears streaming down their faces. Fathers were there too, but generally they put up a brave front, but there were not many smiles among them, to them, lively spirits and their amusing pranks were thoroughly enjoyed by the large throngs who were there to see them off.

They are quartered near Admiral station, and seem happy. As each group of men arrived at camp they were given a cold shower bath, assigned to cots in the barracks and given the following articles for their mess kits. One pan to cut out of a knife, fork and spoon. On the first floor of the barracks are the captain's office, storeroom, dining room and kitchen. Each company has a chief and four assistants, detailed in each squad, the squads taking turns in supplying men. There is police duty in the barracks and the corporal is responsible to the commander for the carrying out of orders. The quarters of the men are on the second floor, and half of the first floor is used for the same purpose. NO UNIFORMS YET The men will have to undergo the regular medical examination of the army.

In an effort to prevent colored people from locating on a 22 acre tract of the York Road, certain white residents have sent out a scurrilous circular appealing for funds to fight the colored residents. The circular is headed "Negro Invasion of Govans," and by implication charges the colored residents who would buy lots and build homes there as rapists, housebreakers and disorderly characters. One of the circulars by accident was mailed to Rev. James A. Fry, a depositor at the Citizens' States Bank and pastor of a Baptist Church at-Govans. A J. Stork, said to be an employee of the bank, is named as treasurer of the anti-Negro fund. REV. FRY INDIGNANT Rev. Mr. Fry was highly indignant over receiving the circular. He said that M. P. Koho, whose name is one of the four signed thereto, is a lawyer with whom he has done legal business. Rev. James R. L. Diggs, who was with Mr. Fry when he exhibited the circular, said that the contents are such as to call forth the vigorous protests of the colored people. Mr. Harry O. Wilson, who purchased the tract, says that it is located east of Gulfford. "The kickers," he went on to say, "are not the residents in the immediate vicinity but those who live at a distance. No home will be erected there to cost less than $1,500, and those who occupy them will be of a class of whom the opposite of the letter must be said." Mr. and Mrs. Noah Duprce, formerly of Baltimore, have built a home on the tract and are now occupying it. The almost-indecent letter is in part as follows: "Do you realize to what extent property values depreciate when once the outrage is perpetrated upon our community, and that real estate holdings constituting the savings of a lifetime, in many cases, will dwindle hopelessly in value. "Do you realize that such a colony would destroy the safety of your homes from intrusion. Imperil the sanctity of your firesides and the safety of your wives and daughters? "Do you realize that such a colony in close proximity of our homes, must certainly result in rowdism and lawlessness in the community and on the cars operating on the York Road?" The circular closes with an app- proximity to combat the threatened "invasion." NEWS NOTES FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS SPEED UP. DO YOUR BIT. As the contest draws to an end, we find our agents even busier, trying to place the Afro-American in every home in Maryland.

Cambridge still remains in the lead, calling for 75 copies this week. But little Elliott City holds her own by asking us to send her 105 copies.

OFFICERS GIVEN BANQUET Baltimore Patriarchie of Odd Fellows Hosts to Local Commissioned Men COL. HAYES PRESIDES. Colored Soldiers Will do their Part in the War Say Officers "We will do the fighting in the trenches and expect you to do the same with tongue and pen" was the declaration made by Capt. W. D. Peakes at Odd Fellows' Hall last Monday night, where the Baltimore boys who have won commissions in the United States Army were the guests of honor at a banquet given by Baltimore Patriarchie No. 9 of Odd Fellows. The function was well attended and the various speakers were loud in their praise of the young men who by grit, courage and sheer ability had won the coveted honors. The spirit of patrolism run through all of the speeches, but those who responded to toasts did not fail to emphasize the fact that there be no need for the democracy unless the disabilities under which the American Negro labors are removed. Col. Hamilton N. Hayes was toastmaster. Toasts were responded to by Gen. Lewis E. Williams, head of the Uniform Rank of Maryland Knights of Tythias; William C. McCard, John H. Murphy, Jr., Capt. J. Harvey Smith, who told the Commandant and built the Kaiser Chapel. Charles Carpenter, whose son was one of the guests of honor and Mr. Moses E. Ewell, John H. Bailey and Mad. Thomas B. Slater. Captain Peakes, who was the first of the enlisted men to speak, made a plea for interest in the fight for democracy, and pledged that the colored soldiers would do their duty. Leuces, Curtis Carpenter. Walter Webb, Curtis Murshur, and John W. also made addresses which stirred the patriotic feelings of those gathered around the banquet board and brought home to them the important part that the colored soldier may play, when his efforts are squarely backed by the race. JAMES CURTIS, MINISTER TO LIBERIA, DEAD Word has been received in this country of the death at Monrovia, Liberia, of Hon. James L. Curtis, United States Minister and Consul General at Monrovia. Death followed an operation. Mr. Curtis was a native of Raleigh, N.C. He was a lawyer, principally his prosecution number of years. The deceased has been very active in Democratic politics, and was an active worker in the National Negro Democratic League during the first Wilson campaign. He succeeded Dr. George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., who resigned after serving as Minister to Liberia for about a year. He was married a few years ago to MISS Helen Noble, a native of New Orleans, who conducted a dressmaking establishment in New York city. For about a year Mrs. Curtis conducted a dressmaking establishment in Baltimore. Dr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, is a brother of the de- BUNDY MAY GET POST. Should not some active colored Democrat be given the post. Richard C. Bundy, of Ohio, who has been secretary of the American legation at Monrovia since 1910, may be appointed to succeed Mr. Curtis. Mr. Bundy, who was the last colored man named as a cadet to the United States Naval Academy, has been especially trained for diplomatic service. He is the son of Rev. Charles Bundy, a prominent minister, and the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ohio. LYON PAYS TRIBUTE "I am sorry to hear of the death of Minister Curtis." Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian consul general to the United States told a representative of the Afro-American. "He called to see me just before sailing for Liberia in order to get a line on his duties there. GEORGE L. HEWLIN Mr. George L. Hewlin, a prominent officer of Bethel A. M. E. Church, was buried on Tuesday from the church. Mr. Hewlin was killed on Sunday last at Sparrows Point in an accident, a heavy piece of iron falling upon him killing him instantly. His remains were brought to his residence 20 miles north Hill Avenue, by Understaker Toadlin, who prepared the body for burial. The deceased was a native of North Carolina. He was a steward of Bethel A. M. E. Church and president of the Allen Christian Endeavor Society. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him, especially the young people of the church. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Bishop the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel R. Bishop, two years ago, by Rev. Ernest Lyon. Resolutions were read from the various boards of the church and the floral tributes were many and expensive. A large audience gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to him. The officiating ministers were his pastor, Rev. Sampson Brooks; District Superintendent G. C. Cummings, the Revs. J. C. Custic, E. N Thomas and Dr. Ernest Lyon, the pastor of John Wesley M E. Church Interment was at Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Mrs. Helen Bishop-Hewlin wishes to thank her many friends who gathered about her in her saddest hours of distress, who were many and sweet. I also wish to thank Rev. Dr. Sampson Brooks, my husband's pastor, and my pastor, Dr. Ernest Lyon, who officiated; also Rev. C. G. Cummings, Rev. J.O. Custus and Rev. E.N. Thomson, members, friends and officers of Bethea. "Excellent work which was his choice." Memory shall not blot from my mind Mr. David Dixon, Mr. Marshall and other sympathizers who hid aside their tolls of the day to render homage and honor to the ended life of Mr. Hewlin by contributing costly flowers and a purse to the bereaved widow.

Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - -Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar From every section of the country comes the news that the colored selectives have been sent to camp with honors paid them by Governors, Mayors and prominent citizens of all colors and races, but it is left for dear old Baltimore to send its conscripts off with hardly a word of farewell. The Governor is too busy looking after his fences in the coming election; Mayor Preston is too busy with the extension of the city limits and his civic centres, and the colored people, the Defense League and other organizations, well, they have not the time either. Poor old Baltimore! Poor old Baltimore! Dr. C. M. Carstensen (white) of Christ Church, Riverdale, N. Y., took a stand on the color question, and is now looking for a new parish. The good Doctor is in favor of opening his church to all peoples, and when some one wrote "except Negroes" on the sign outside the church underneath the words "All Welcome," he resigned from his parish. Clearly here is one man whose convictions were worth more than a scrap of paper. On the Sunday set apart by President Wilson as a day of prayer for national success, the Teutonic armies overwhelmed the allies on the Italian front and captured 40,000 prisoners and 100 guns. Whether or not this is to be taken as an answer to the Nation's prayer for victory, and an indication of the fact that God is with the Teutons and not with the allies, a greater than a newspaper editor must be called upon to say. The fact remains, and it is rather significant, that while Americans were on their knees importing Jehovah for victory, our enemies were engaged in winning one of the most complete and startling victories of the whole war. --- The refusal of Mr. Anson Phelps Stokes to assume the presidency of Hampton Institute in order to devote his time and strength to the upbuilding of a national university at Yale, makes it necessary for the President of the Board of Trustees, Ex-President Wm. Howard Taft, to continue his search for the right kind of a man to fill the shoes of the late Hollis Burke Frissell. At Howard University likewise quiet but earnest effort is being made to fill the vacancy to be caused by the resignation of President Stephen M. Newman. The report is current that the Rev. Dr. Patten, a Boston clergyman, son of a former president of Howard, has been offered the office and refused it. The trustee boards of both schools find themselves in the similar position of scouring the country for the very best men that can possibly be obtained. Fifteen hundred persons sat in Quinn Chapel, Louisville, Kentucky, recently to listen and applaud when their choir defeated the choir of Allen Chapel, Indianapolis, Indiana in an inter-city contest. Allen Chapel sang with a good deal of finish and technique "Gloria" from the Twelfth Mass of Mozart, and "Inflammatus" from Rossin's Stabat Mater. But these were not songs that drew the voluminous and prolonged applause of the crowd. After the Quinn Chapel folk had sung "Swing Low", Allen choir sang the same number, and the audience cheered until the encore "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" was necessary. The ability to sing the old folk melodies as well as the classical songs caused the Kentuckians to carry off the contest. In East St. Louis where the Congressional Committee is holding hearings on the riot, relations between the races are not yet what they should be. Testimony introduced showed that business firms employing colored labor are still closing their plants an hour earlier in order to let their workers reach home before dark. Swift and Company are transporting their workmen to and from work in special cars. This is not unusual. No community could give itself up to such a day of orgy and crime and then go on afterwards as if nothing had happened. The city's moral relapse may be expected to bear fruit for some time to come. In the meantime only the rapid prosecution of everyone connected therewith will succeed in bringing back the sense of security of the community. THE NEW X. M. C. A. THE NEW Y. M. C. A. That new Y. M. C. A. building which we have long desired to see erected, gives promise of being an actual fact before long. The buildings on the site are now being torn down and soon ground will be broken for our new one hundred thousand dollar building. Several other cities which started after we did have their buildings up and occupied. Prejudice and other things have kept us back, but the persent outlook is hopeful. But there is yet much to be done on the part of those who have subscribed to the fund, and that is for those who have not yet done so to pay up and pay up quick. Those who have not subscribed will have an opportunity to do so now. There have been those who said they wanted to "see something done" before they paid their money. That excuse will not hold good now. Something is being done and if the subscribers meant what they said, now is the time to come forth and pay up their subscription. Those people out at Hamilton who are opposing the removal of Morgan College to its new location have intimated that if there is no other means available, (and there are none) to prevent the college occupying its new site, they have the promise of several candidates for the legislature to introduce a law to prevent the college from using the ground it recently purchased. When one of the buildings on the ground was being used for selling whiskey and other purposes not sanctioned by law, there was no complaint but now that an educational institution, which has for years occupied one of the best sites in Baltimore, wishes to erect buildings there for educational purposes, there is a how. It is to be hoped that the college authorities will carry out their plans and pay no attention to the kickers. These same people would no doubt kick if the Lord were to come down and start something there, especially if He were not white. --- James W. Johnson points to hymns like "Brighten the Corner Where You Are" and the "Church is Moving On," as an evidence of the influence of ragtime on church music. To see how different the music of today is from that of 30 years ago, Mr. Johnson compares "The Ninety and Nine" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," with the above mentioned music so popular today in our Sunday Schools and revivals. Unless the sorrows and suffering of this war cause a return to the old-time tunes of the fathers, another generation will witness a total revision of our present day church hymnals and Gospel songs. SOME DAY THEY WILL LEARN In spite of 100 deputies in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company authorized by the State to carry weapons and set to work to guard the piers at Locust Point, fire, that to be of incessant origin, destroyed millions of dollars worth of munitions intended for the allies, and property belonging to the city. Police authorities early on the scene gave chase and fired several shots at suspects. The theory is that the fire was the work of alien enemies. According to Vice President Thompson of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Company has been prepared for just such a happening as this since the war started. The number of guards was doubled and the property was vigilantly guarded day and night. With so many men at work watching the property of the railroad company, it is difficult to see how the fire gained such headway before being discovered. It does seem that some of these paid watchmen either carelessly or intentionally failed in their duty, allowing enemies of the country to destroy explosives so badly needed by the allies on the other side. Had colored men been given the job of guarding these munition plants, the work would have been done faithfully and well. One American, whose patriotism to the government is a known quantity is the colored American. One of these days the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will learn where to get dependable watchmen. TO SALUTE OR NOT TO SALUTE According to the regulations of the United States Army, all men and officers are required to salute their superior, officers first and to remain at salute until the greeting is returned by the superior officer. The return of the GTS officers with commissions from Fort Des Moines to their homes all over the United States has introduced this country to something new under the sun—the colored officer in large numbers. The Army regulations that apply to the white officers apply as well to the colored officers, and several amusing situations have arisen because of the fact that white under officers want to avoid saluting their colored brethren. A white second lieutenant got on the street car with his wife the other day. When he finished paying fares and getting transfers from the paye conductor, he noticed that his wife d taken a seat at the front of the car directly opposite a new first lieutenant from Fort Des Moines. To go forward to take the vacant seat by his spouse meant that he would have to salute the colored superior officer, so he hung on a strap in the rear while his non-plused better half beckoned in vain and pointed to the empty seat she had reserved for him. By and by passengers in the rear got out and the wife went down the car to her husband and received his whispered explanations. On the streets the other afternoon one of the new officers held up a private who had failed to salute him, and ordered him to salute. "You are not saluting me, but this uniform, and you have got to respect it wherever you see it." "Yes sir," the private replied, and saluted as he turned away. Down at Camp Meade the white soldiers are going to take a few days to get used to the new officers, but in a little while they are going to learn that army discipline is army discipline, and that regulations were written without reference to state rights, the Mason and Dixon's line, or blue blood. Perhaps the experience of a Western camp is to be repeated. When the commanding officer, noting the failure of two non-commissioned whites to salute a colored commissioned officer, called the three of them together and ordered the two "non-coms" to salute continuously for five minutes. Humiliations like this will teach lessons as quickly as arrest and more serious punishment. Of course the attitude of the white soldiers in all cantonments towards their colored brethren is going to depend largely on the type of officer commanding. If the above instance is typical of what we may expect in all army camps, Southern drafted men may look for a surprise. THE FORUM DR. GAINES THINKS HE WAS MISQUOTED HE WAS MISQUOOT In last week's issue of the Afro-American in its report of the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting this statement appears, "Dr. Gaines objected to the Stepteau idea declaring that widows should not receive anything and that a minister during his life should provide for the maintenance of his wife and children." Dr. Gaines made no such statement but said: "Not only should the widows of Ebishops, General Officers and Ministers receive equal allowance but that the widows of faithful A. M. E. Laymen should also receive consideration in as much as the laity contributed all the money for curry maintenance. Unless the ministers should receive allowances somewhat in keeping with what is paid the widows of Ebishops, the whole system of widows' allowance should be done away with and the money used for that purpose should be placed in the hands of the ministers during their lifetime so as to enable them to provide for the maintenance of their wives and children." The statement attributed to Dr Gaines in last week's Afro-American was either from an inexperienced reporter or some minister in an effort to play ecclesiastical politics. Knowing the policy of the Afro-American not to employ inexperienced reporters, I am of the opinion that the report emanated from a minister attempting to play politics. Respectfully, A. L. GAINES LIEIT. WEBB FETED On Tuesday evening the Class of 1910 of the Colored High School gave a surprise party to Lieut. Walter T. Webb, a member of the class, at the home of the lieutenant, 1823 McUlchol street. The class met in a body and went to Lieutenant Webb's home, where they danced and enjoyed themselves only as the Class of 1910 can. President Thomas gave a short talk stating why they had met, and then he presented the lieutenant with a well filled toilets to Lieut. Webb with a few remarks, and then the party proceeded to the dining room where refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Hattie Tyler, Hattie McNeal, Noel Johnson, Ellen Dutton, Helen Jackson, Flossie James, Henrietta Hutchison, Mervyn Thomas, Eusee Warren, Josephine Lansey, Ada Laws, Mary Bruegge Messes, Milton Lacey, E. Chandler, C. Thomas, Ann W. Smith, Bernard Wood and others. The Govans Improvement Association has supported the white women's organizations and effort to improve securing agencies.

HAIR EXPERT COMING Mune, Estelle, the noted hair culturist and instructress, of New York, will be in the city on the 10th of November and can be interviewed at 1828 D Street to interview those interested in learning the art of hair growing, ad FIRST QUEEN'S RALLY The first queen's rally of Ames M. E. Church, Bel Air, Md., was held in the main auditorium Thursday night, October 25, 1917, for the benefit of said church under the direction of Mrs. Carrie Armstrong, assisted by Mrs. Susie Osborne Murray and a company of Ladies and Gentlemen of Bel Air and vicinity. The same was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience made up from all parts of the county with several visitors from Baltimore, all of which taxed to its utmost the seating capacity of the church. It was a spectacular affair with all of the objectionable features eliminated. Following countries were represented by queens as follows: Africa, Mrs. Currie Armstrong $33.76. America, Mrs. Ella Scott Taylor, $10. Belgium, Mrs. Alice Johnson, $23.62. China, Mrs. Sallie Brown, $24.07. India, Mrs. Bertha Jackson Westcott, $22.77. Ireland, Mrs. Maggie Johnson, $8.45. Japan, Miss Cornelia F. Ruc, $23.20. Mexico, Mrs. Eiffle Brown, $35.01. Spain, Mrs. Florence Taylor, $4.43. Silver offering at the door, $19.30. Total amount raised 214.61. Mrs. Eiffle Brown with her maids having raised the largest amount was crowned Queen of Mexico, with Mrs. C. H. Matthews, delivering the coronation address. Rev. C. H. Matthews, pastor: Mr. T. A. Whittington, Sec. Messrs. Wilbur H. Waters, Beale Mason, Elmer Beaver and Charles Lecato, who were recently appointed regular clerks in the local postoffice entertained the senior clerks of the mailing division on last Thursday. Among the Associated Chauffeurs that paid respect to their deceased friend, Mr. Douglass Lockings, who departed this life October 5th, were Messrs. Forest Llewis Chas Boyd, Hilton Young, Lewis Pullen, Walter Beaskerville, Chas, Harridy, Robt, Brown, Edgar Hall, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, John Washington, William Clinton, Arthur Tates, Andrew Rogers, William Stewart, Perry Harrogrove, E. Ashby, William Blake, Ernest Johnson and other friends. As a token of our appreciation we extend to the beloved family a beautiful floral design. WANTED 50 MEN & WOMEN FOR FOR STEADY INSIDE WORK APPLY AT American Wool Stock Company Fayette and Eighth Streets ```markdown ``` POLITICIANS FIRE PARTING SHOTS The campaign just closing, though lacking somewhat in ginger, is one of vital importance to the State. It means not only whether Baltimore is to secure larger territory annexation, but it also means whether Maylanders are willing to let its affairs be still dominated by "small bore" politicians. The division between State and city Democrats over the question of more territory for Baltimore city and the reorganization of the Republicans give the latter party a seeming advantage in the running. Republicans see that their party has a fine chance to serve the best interests of the State, and have been bending their energies to help elect the ticket. Will Former United States Senator Liam P. Jackson was in the city Wednesday, and spent several hours conferring with Republican late Chairman Tull over the general situation. NO VOTES FOR SOLDIERS Good news comes from the counties concerning the ticket, though the selective draft has somewhat decreased the party's chances in some counties. As a result of the whites who have been drafted will be allowed to vote and they are mostly Democrats, the loss of the votes of colored drafted men will not be felt so badly. The friends of Judge Stanton have been making every effort to secure his election. They have been greatly encouraged by the endorsements given by prominent Democrats, including many lawyers. Charles R. Schirm has been making a rattling good fight for the Clerkship of the City Court, not held by George Carrey Lindsay, a Democrat. His friends say he will make a very fine shot and some predict that he will be a winner. William O. Atwood has been waring an energetic light for State Comptroller. His chances are regarded as having been heightened by the announcement made by Congressman Fred Tallott that the reduction of Comptroller McMullen would mean a spring prop to the anti-annexation- Allen T. Russell, a brother of Dr. Bingham T. Russell, has received many instances of support in his fight for his survivor. The Democrats, at least the state crowd, are extremely anxious to capture the legislature. Their hopes have been somewhat lowered, however, by the declaration made by many city Democrats that they are voting the Republican in order that Baltimore must act a square deal that the minds of John S. Kelly in Baltimore are extremely anxious to make a good showing in the city, especially in the First and Fourth Legislative Districts, goes without saying. That accounts for the drive that State Democrats have been making for Charles W. Greebel and against Albert M. Sproesser, the Republican candidate for State Senate in the Fourth District. Mr. Sproesser has gained materially last few weeks, and if the Seventeenth other words in the district do their功劳, he will pull through easily. J. Frank Fox. Louis A. Corinthwaite and Walter M. League are among the Republican Legislative candidates in the district. Charles E. Norris, the smiling auctioneer, has been making a fine fight in Third district. Democratic chances do not look so rosy in the First district, the Fourth ward having failed to capture one of the legislative nominations—two going to the Fifth ward. That has made the friends of Charles W. Main and the other Republican candidates regard their chances as being good. BEAR CREEK BAPTISTS MEET Wilson, N. C., November 1.—The Bear Creek Baptist Association held its annual meeting recently at the Round Tree Baptist Church. The moderator, Rev. A. A.

LEBOY HARRIS Mr. Leroy Harris, of 2045 Division street, died at his residence on Friday, October 26th. Four weeks ago Mr. Harris went to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment. His wife and friends had no idea that his illness was fatal, but complications developed and after much suffering he died the day after he was brought home from the hospital.

For 39 years he was in the employ of Ex-Postmaster General James A. Cary. He was trusted and loved by every member of the family. They were untiring in their attention to him during his illness and mourned his death deeply. The whole family attended his funeral which took place 2.30 p. m. Monday, from Union Baptist Church.

BY MARGARET BLACK Dear Readers, I am wondering if you are a Red Cross worker, and if you are not, why not? Our men have got to fight and anything that can be done to help them help others win this war it is our duty to do. All summer long—I've seen folks—knit, knit, knitting. On the streets, in the stores, in the movies, and at home, wherever I've gone, it has been knit, knit, knit. Now comes our turn, if you can't knit then go to the nearest Center and learn; if you feel you can't learn, or don't want to learn then help to buy the yarn that others may knit, who are anxious to learn. Now don't go about it carelessly or in any old way, because any old way won't do. Time counts and think of the time saved, if your work is done right and does not have to be discarded as unfit, and some one else must take the trouble to alter it, before it can be accepted. In Washington, there are a heap of boxes in a certain cellar, filled with Red Cross Articles which are so properly made as to be acceptable to the melical officers, while others will have to be done over or altered before they can be accepted. We should profit by these mistakes of others, and make good use of our time by learning what articles to knit to help them correctly, so get to the nearest Center and learn how free of charge. how Articles to be knit and the only articles officially approved, are the sleeveless sweater, muffler long enough to form a chest protector, thumbless mitten, hot water bottle cover, wash cloth, men's yarn socks helmet, and bed sock. Perhaps you have a grandmother or mother or aunt who can knit. I know one mother, who can not follow directions as printed, but can knit most anything that is well illustrated. She sent to the Red Cross, in town for thumbless mittens, knit and sent it up for approval, and told it was correct, she started in knit thumbless mittens, using it as pick up work, and evening work. She knit two pair each week that way for more than a month, then she was asked to knit袜, and as that is her specialty, she has been knitting袜 ever since. She says that is easy work, as she can knit in the dark as good as she can in the light. Ask your grandmother to knit袜. She is usually good at knitting. They need socks of medium size, evenly and firmly knitted so the finished article is without knots, or ridges to make them fit in marching. Let me make less Xmas lotem the work for our soldier boys. Let them see that we can take care of our own, as well as we can give them good send-offs. Learn to knit. But I don't want to knit you say—then learn to sew, learn to hem sheets properly, and to make pajamas properly, and sew on buttons where you are told and put tape in correctly. No matter what you think, get the DISTRICT CONFERENCE MEETS Wilmington, Del. Nov. 1.—The Philadelphia District Conference convened at St. Daniel A. M. E. Zion Church recently with Rev. Dr. Martin L.

Mrs. Lena Young and son, of Middletown, spent OUR DUTY SMYRNA NEWS proper directions from the Red Cross heads and FOLLOW THEM. No matter if you are a first class seamstress, follow the rules they give you, otherwise you stand to have your work rejected. I know one woman who spends two hours every day at the Red Cross Rooms. I asked her "couldn't she accomplish more if she did the work at home? "No," she replied, "There everything is to in place, and if I get puzzled as to what to do next, I can ask. My work is kept clean,—an important item—and I am not worried with the children or home duties. My mind is on my work. There are lots of mothers who do it am I? Let me see that we know how to work for our own. Then there are the Xmas gifts for the soldier boys. There are three kinds of kits. Nos. 1-2 and 3 besides the articles contained in either kit you desire to make. "Mirror, metal in case, Safety Razor, Safety Razor Blades, Scissors (preferably folding, with pointed ends in sheath.

The second kit, which Chloe will give you directions to making a kit and what articles to equip it with and will tell you explicitly what not to use and what not to buy. Personal Equipment of Enlisted Men are issued by the War Department. Help our boys to help whip the "HUNS" by doing your bit. Every little bit helps. Visit the nearest Center and find out what you can do, then DO IT. Our men have been drafted and they are going to do their duty as best they can, as Dr. Gaines has said "Our soldiers must be superior in discipline morals and loyalty." Few of our men are asking to be exempted. They want the world to know that our race possesses men that any country need be proud of. They are not studying about what might happen to them, but the that we haven't much to do with this business of what happens to us mortals after all. We plan, work and worry and then suddenly comes a messenger and no one need fear a frown or cross word from us again. Petty quarrels with those we love, slights and wounds are all forgotten, we are thinking now of our duty. We need to find a way. What's the use any way? Effort, achievement, honest pride and success, these are the things that we are working to accomplish now, these are the worth while things. The call may come today—tomorrow. How do we know when, for, our men and our boys to answer the Government's call. Boys now, but they will soon prove that they have a man's courage and a man's strength though they lack a few of his years. They are fighting for freedom of speech, freedom to live a man's life as well as for a Nation's Honor. Let us help him to do it all, by knitting, and sewing and helping the Red Cross and showing our boys that we are with them heart and hand. Conowingo, Md. Nov. 2.—The work at Mt.

In ancient Egypt, Spiritualism was the very foundation of the national religion. The Egyptian 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 demonstrated and practiced through the ages. Spiritualism is not Ghost-ism; Spiritualism means to converse with unseen intelligencies and it is as ancient as remotest antiquity. The disciples were all spiritual. Paul saw a mouse not made with hands seemed to be the heavens." He had visions he was entranced; heard voices; spirit intelligencies speaking to him out of the unseen. "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Now their are diversities of gifts but the same spirit. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone on a profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom, knowledge, faith, gift of healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits and all other gifts." Cor. XII 1, 4, 7-10.
