OUR BACKS AGAINST WALL Rev. J. G. Robinson Taker Issue With Speech of Former Governor O'Neal Boston, Mass., Dec. 20.—Taking issue with an address that Emmer O'Neal, former Governor of Ala- bama, delivered recently before the Twentieth Century Club, in which he said lynching must stop but the races must be kept separate. Rev. J. G. Robinson, devoted the South for his attitude toward the North for a meeting at Charles Street A. M. E. Church. Rev. Mr. Robinson, who was driven out of the South because he denounced, lynching members of his race, said: "They told the Negro that when this war was over, every man in America would be given his rights as a citizen. No man was more outspoken along this line than ex-Governor O'Neal of Alabama. So much so, that Negroes everywhere in the South spoke of him in their churches and at other gatherings as being their friend. Now that the war is over and the young of Negroes is showing the world that Negroes their locks are against the wall, and that no longer will they timely submit to the brutal treatment that for ages has been meted out to us, he comes all the way to Boston to beate the Negro." COLONEL YOUNG HERE Col. Charles Young, who is expected to sail next week; for Monrovia, Liberia, where he will assume the duties of military att tache at the American legation was the guest of Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to this country, last Saturday.

Ministers Behind the Tin Wrestling with Problem New Role He conten --- Ministers Behind the Times in Wrestling with Problems of Race New Religion for the Negro." He contended that man was made in the image of God and should strive to approximate his maker. An exalted womanhood and the training of children so that they become forces for spiritual and social uplift were urged. He scored immoral preachers and asserted that the ministry is behind the times in wrestling with the problems that confront the race. A minister concocted and able to grapple with problems confronted by race and to give direction to forces contending forrift, and against proscription is needed, he asserted. His paper provoked general discussion, in which Prof. J. E. A. Gorlinge, of Livingstone College; Prof. George William Cook, Dr. L. Z. Johnson, both of Howard University, and L. M. Hershaw, were among those taking part. MR. GRIMKE'S ADDRESS Mr. Grimke spoke on "The Shame of America." He asserted that the record of the white man in this country is one of broken promises to the Negro. He mentioned Thomas Jefferson's part in placing in the federal Constitution the declaration that "the man created equal, that they have certain inalienable rights; that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This was VOL. XXVIII.

EMMET SCOTT SPEAKS At the public session held at Wendell Phillips High School Sunday afternoon, nearly two thousand and parsons packed the auditorium to hear Emmanuel J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University and an honorary member of the fraternity, speak on "Negro Business." Mr. Scott was repeatedly cheered when he proposed a platform for racial progress that includes the stamping out of lynching, higher wages and improved labor condition, sacredness of the ballot, equality of citizens, adequate educational facilities, the necessity of cultivating ideals of thrift, peace and reliability in business dealings. CALLS PLSYFEOTERS "TRAITORS" Lucius Lee McGhee, vice president of the Fraternity caused the audience to laugh and shout when he declared that college men were trying by combined efforts "to show, this generation that the day of the hat-in-hand, yes, sir, boss Negro has come to a close."

NO BLUE LAWS IN CHICAGO Staff Correspondence Chicago, Ill., Dec. 30.—There may be blue laws in Baltimore, but everything is wide open in Chicago. Shops and stores, theatres and cabarets do more business on Sunday than on any week day. Villors from the East, who accustomed to a quiet Sunday are amazed at what preachers term "the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah." Barbers are open here all day Sunday. In the stores purchasers, line up for everything from underwear to overcoats. Only the big downtown department stores are closed. All this activity goes on in spite of many churches and large congregations, Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, the largest colored congregation in the city, boasts of 7,000 members. Many colored people attend white churches. WHITE AND COLORED DANCE At the New Vineennes Hotel, a building recently opened under colored management, M.

Your Opportunity Federated Charities Give Afro Readers A Chance To Make This Home Bright Mrs. Burns is a widow, whose husband died recently of tuberculosis, leaving her with a little girl of four, another of two years and twins less than six months old. All during the three years that the father was ill, the Federated Charities helped to care for the family. Now that he is dead, the mother washes in order to support herself. Can you imagine such a mother, with four little kiddies, grown nervous and sickly from work and worry and still trying somehow to keep her head high and a little something in the cupboard for the hungry mouth. The Federated Charities have figured it out that this family needs a $a$ week to keep it going. Will someone help the Burge family for one week, or one day as a real Christmas opportunity?

Governor Raps Murderers Lynching of Colored Man by Mob Calls Forth Bitter Protest From Gov er nor Bickett TO TRY LYNCHERS Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 31. —The lynching of Powell Green, aged 23, charged with the murder of R.M. Brown at Franklintown last Saturday, has aroused the people of the State and caused Governor W. T. Bickett to issue a strong statement, in which he asserted that the action of the mob was an assault upon the "very cladist of our civilization." The lynched man and Brown had on interaction, and the police had grabbed the former. His right hand was pinioned, but he managed to grab his pistol with the right and fire the bullet that killed Brown. The mob spiirt quickly began to manifest, and it was decided to spirit Greene to Raleigh. When the automobile containing the prisoner reached the vicinity of Kirkwood, the lynchers granted their prey and did their french work. Colored and in and around Franklin discreetly kept within doors. A preliminary investigation failed to establish the identity of any of the lynchers. Mayor Ford, of Franklintown, who was quizzed regarding the lynching, did not display any interest in testifying and asked to be excused so that he could go to a sick member of his family. Norris began a searching investigation Tuesday. In offering $400 reward for the arrest and conviction of the lynchers, Governor Bickett said: "The whole State is shocked and humiliated by this horrible outrage on our laws," said the Governor. "Such deeds put to open shame our boasted white civilization and make the name of Southern chivalry a by-word and a reproach. It is true that we committed it on the man who was an officer one, for he shot down without cause and without provocation one of the best citizens of Franklin town. This naturally aroused great indignation but it affords no semblance of excuse for a mob taking the law into its own hands. "The Negro, above all others, is entitled to the protection of the law. He has no voice in the making of the law. He has no hand in its execution. He has no power and all the processes of the war are in the hands of white men. And yet this mob savagely denied to a helpless Negro prisoner the right to stand before a white judge and a white jury, and receive a white man's justice. The sad truth is that the men who did this Negro to death gave way to the same barbarous and brutish passions that made the Negro shoot down his victim without cause. The members of that mob crucified the elementary principles of justice for which white men have fought and bled and died through a thousand years. They have assaulted the very capital of our civilization and all the power of the State will be exerted to apprehend them and make them suffer the full penalty of the law." To Erect $50,000 Home... A new structure costing $5,000 will be erected on the site of Christ Institution, 704ensor St., this spring.

Dec. 30.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans has turned down the appeal of George W. Bouldin, editor of the San Antonio Inquirer, convicted in the federal court here for publishing in his paper an article which the court said was an "unlawful attempt to cause subordination" among the colored troops. The editor was sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Ky. The article in question appeared in the Inquirer on November 24, 1917, following the riot between members of the 24th Infantry Regiment and whites, in which several citizens and soldiers were killed.

Murphy and Give Straight Talk Serve Notice. At Goldsborough Meeting That Colored Workers Are Tired of Being Ignored In Councils Of Party. Leading Republicans, mostly former officeholders, under Governor Goldsborough and a few of his thick-and-thin supporters, gathered at Albaugh's Theatre Monday afternoon, where a statewide meeting was held in effort to stem the rising tide toward Ovingen. E. Weller, who is an aspirant for the Republican nomination for United States Senate. Throught the meeting there cropped out hostility to Mr. Weller and the Republican organization Mr. Goldsborough told the assembled Republicans that he is not in favor of factionism, but some of his supporters showed by their attacks on Weller and the organization that the success of the Republican party was not the prime reason for the calling of the gathering. John H. Murphy, editor of the Alabamaian, threw a monkey wrench in the machinery, when speaking neither as an advocate of Mr. Weller nor of the Goldsborough cohorts, he charged that white Republicans continually ignored the Negro. There appeared, he asserted, to be a concerted effort to ignore the race in the recent gubernatorial contest, and this was one of the contributing causes to the defeat of Harry W. Nice, the Republican candidate for Governor. Had Mayor Browning been in good touch with four good appointments, he went on to say, Mr. Nice would have pulled thru. He declared that the Negro should be given standing in the party councils. When Mr. Murphy launched out in his criticism of the party toward the colored people, there were cries of "It is not-germane." And then were others that it was german. Former Congressman Parrish his book, say that Mr. Murphy was right in his contentions and also to state that he was tired of fighting in losing campaigns. Former State Senator Frank E. Williams also-backed up Mr. Murphy's contentions. City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn made a -ringing speech; **Rector Harwood Removed** Philadelphia, Dec. 30—Rev. J.

Heard will be held here or January 21 and 22. in which he eulogized Mr. Weller, deprecated attacks on the party organization and asserted that the Republicans had not treated the colored people fairly. The assembled Republicans listened intently as Mr. McGunn made what was regarded as one of the best speeches. Gen. J. Kemp Bartlett, who presided, took a fling at the party organization. A resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee of one member from each of the 27 senatorial districts in the State, upon which the duty will devolve of trying to persuade Mr. Weller. Former City Councilman A. C. Binswanger offered a resolution that another conference be called in which Republicans of all shades of opinion could participate. It was lost.

A full-fledged normal for the training of colored teachers, equal salaries and the same school term as given the whites were some of the things urged at the annual session of the Maryland State Col- ored Teachers' Association, which came to an end at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday. The session was attended by teachers from all parts of the State—all interested in the raising of the standard of education for the race in Maryland.

Murphy, who gave an outline of the aims and work accomplished by the association. Rabbit Lazaron, who spoke Tuesday afternoon, was given a warm greeting. He came primarily to urge interest in public health problems. The Jow as a race entity, he said has problems of his own, and the Negro has his. He asserted that as men have a common Father, they are brothers and sisters, and should work together for the common good. Professor Dean made a plea for junior high schools as a necessity in a properly developed educational scheme. Dr. J. E. McCullough, of the Southern Educational Congress, told of its work in striving to secure a better understanding and a co-operative spirit between the races. Prof. Charles J.

Badger, well known in ward political circles, was Card said: "And it is strange that" Lee was 28 years of age and had on the next day after the Mayor's large circle of friends in the told us that Dr. Jones made his Southern section of the city. Just appointments, which did not involve three weeks before he was shot, were made. He was shot in the door of Dr. Jones ought to have a colored member he served in the overseas forces of the School Board too." He was a sergeant. Say Mayor's Plea for Suspension of Judgment Does Not Help Dr. McCard Advises Support of Democracy Par Mayor Browning's suggestion, made in an interview published in last week's Afro-American, that the colored people suspend judgment regarding the failure of Health Commissioner Jones to appoint colored nurses and physicians for colored schools did not satisfy the physicians who had started the movement. They met the mayor's proposal with a big arrangement to hold a big public protest meeting early in January. Dr. H. McCadd, who was chair man of the committee of professionalism that visited Mayor Browning and sought vainly on the different occasions to have an interview with the Health Commissioner, is one of the men who speaks "right out in meeting." "This is a matter of vital concern to the race," he said the other day. "If the Republicans expect to continue us and then never even be concerned about matters affecting our public health, then I say we had better vote with the Democrats. Republicans try to get the solid Negro vote at every election and then immediately ignore those who helped to make success possible. "The law imposes separate schools for the races and we have colored teachers. It is plainly evident under the circumstances, that physicians and nurses can best look after our interests. They understand our conditions better. Furthermore, it is not a question of political preferment, but one which vitally affects the youth of our race. I would not have the position of physicians in the schools at any price, but there are young physicians who can render a commendable service for the race." Discussing the statement of the Mayor that he believed colored physicians and nurses are best suited to look after health conditions of colored pupils, Dr. McGard said: "And it is strange that on the next day after the Mayor told us that Dr. Jones made his appointments, which did not in- Benj.

Lee who was shot and killed by William Seymour on Monday night of last week, was held from the residence of his mother, Mrs. Isabella Mohr, 1210 McCulloh street, last Friday afternoon. Revs. Wm. I. Hoy and George Nicholson, officiated. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Seymour shot Lee because, he claims, the latter sent alleged revenue officers to his place, 605 Cornell street, to find out whether or not liquor was being sold there. Seymour claimed the officers relieved him of $156. An alleged quarrel with a woman earlier in the day and the subsequent happening are believed to have put the accused man in a bad humor. He went to Seymour's house on Conway street, according to Mrs. Ferguson and her daughter, Ruth Norris, who also live there, and demanded to see Lee. Finding he was out the women claim Seymour left vowing vengeance. After riding around South Baltimore in a taxicab, the alleged murderer returned to the home about midnight and again asked for Lee. The latter invited him in, meeting Seymour with folded arms. Seymour began to accuse Lee, and the latter attempted to explain that he had not "penched" on him and he knew nothing of the alleged visit. mour pulled out an automatic revolver and sent a bullet crashing thru Lee's head. The two women narrowly escaped being shot, claiming that Seymour then turned the pistol on them. Ruth Morris grabbed a student lamp but a bullet shot off the lower part, leaving the upper in her hand. Just before mour was about to be shot, she shef her striking him on the head and setting his hat on fire. With the girl yelling at the top of her voice, Seymour ran down Conway street and leaped into a waiting taxiab. After the white chauffeur let him out at Druid Hill avenue, he notified the police and the accused man's arrest followed. Lee was 28 years of age and had a large collection of friends in the Southern section of the city. Just three weeks before he was shot he had returned from Detroit He served in the overseas forces as a sergeant.

They know that those who guide the destinies of the Republican party are loud in their protestations of fairplay for the race, but short when it comes to performance. They view with alarm the fact that the coming convention of the Republicans at Chicago may not insert a plank in its platform declaring that any program of democracy must mean that the Negro will be included on a one-hundred per cent basis. The recently-organized labor party has planks in its platform coming out squarely for race equality. The Socialists and other parties assert their friendship for the race. It should be borne in mind however, that the Republicans and other parties were founded on principles that included the Negro, but later drifted from their moorings. There is a disposition among many Democrats of prominence to accord fairplay to the race and efforts will be made to translate their opinions into affirmative action. The race must, in view of the situation, try to get all of the parties to declare in favor of human rights. The Afro-American extends New Year's greetings to its thousands of readers. It appreciates their loyalty during the past and will continue to do so in the future. It will endeavor to present the best news features, adding more as the times demand and striving to increase the size of Maryland's largest circulated race journal, should the mounting cost of print paper and other accessories not prevent. A WARNING TO STATE LEADERS In the State of Maryland there are approximately about fifty thousand colored voters, nearly all of whom are affiliated with the Republican party. Of late years the most that has been asked of these voters was to give their entire support to the party with which they have been affiliated. Very few of the influential men of the race are ever called into the councils of the party, and fewer still ever receive any of the enoluments of office. As a matter of fact the Republican party is largely tinted with "Lilly-whitism." It wishes its legion of readers a most prosperous year, and promises to continue to fight the battles of the race with unabated vigor. It seeks the co-operation of all in its efforts to achieve better days and more privileges for the race. THE TEACHERS AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The session here this week of the Maryland State Colored Teachers' Association brought out the fact that teachers in the various public schools of the State are not only interested in the professional side of their work, but in the movement which should result in the raising of the colored schools of Maryland to that standard which will make them regarded as the best in the country. No better evidence of this could be found than the meeting at the Lyceum Theatre, Monday of this week. Notwithstanding the meeting was called for the purpose of either selecting, or appointing a committee to select a man who would stand to oppose Mr. Weller for the nomination of United States Senator, this fifty thousand colored voters were almost entirely ignored. There were a few, possibly, hardly more than a "baker's dozen," colored men present, and some of these were not at all in harmony with the purposes of the meeting. No colored man had been invited to a seat on the platform, no colored man had been slated to make a speech, as a matter of fact, all the colored man was supposed to do was to be present and look pleasant. Now if this is to be the continued attitude of the Republican party in Maryland, it had as well go way back and sit down, for the time has come when the colored voters will no longer take promises for fulfilment. They must not only have a seat around the party councils, but they must receive some of the empliments that come to the party as the results of victory. All candidates from now on will please sit up and take notice. "Lily-whitism" in the Republican party must go! The citizens of the State must be keenly interested, however, if Maryland is to pay its teachers adequate salaries, provide better housing facilities, offer approved courses in teacher training, establish more high schools and provide a State-supported institution of collegiate grade for the colored youth. The incoming Democratic administration has asserted that it favors an expanded educational program and we must not let the opportunity pass to present the claims of the race. The Afro-American bespeaks for the Teachers' Association a larger sphere of usefulness and stands ready to co-operate in any movements looking toward adequate facilities and better trained and more adequately paid teachers in the public schools. 1919 AND THE NEGRO PEOPLE The past year. was one of momentous importance for the race, in that it indicated that race consciousness was developed to the degree that the Negro would no longer bear his proscriptive treatment without protest. THE NEGRO AND THE POLITICAL PARTIES That there is great unrest among the colored people of this country regarding the attitude of the various political parties toward racial rights goes without saying. that there must be strong efforts made to save each of the parties take a stand in favor of fairplay for the race is not to be denied. That the Negroes of the world are alive to the question of securing better political conditions under which to live was indicated by the international race conference held at Paris last winter. Stories brot to this country by returning colored soldiers about alleged prejudicial conditions which American whites tried to make them suffer; the disposition of the whites here not to accord to the race the democracy for which thousands of colored soldiers fought for in France and a large number of lynchings brot out a spirit in the colored people which plainly indicates that they are tired of such conditions. Until the last decade or so the colored people looked to the Republican party to embrace in its platform principles upon which all classes of the diverse elements of the American people could stand. Despite the plainly apparent efforts to "keep the Negro in his place," there has been notable progress made by the race along all lines. The establishment of various business enterprises, including banks, and the reporting of prosperous conditions in large undertakings are signs which point to increasing racial power. Founded to fight against human slavery, the Republican party was regarded as aulkwirk in the cause of human rights. Colleed leaders in various parts of the councercupied a prominent place in its councercrunk with power, there began a systematic policy of diminishing the influence of the race in the party councils, disfranchisement, Jim Crow cars and ready progress in the propaganda to subject the race to a kind of serfdom have resulted: The campaign of 1912 found the race bundering about, and a respectable vory turned to the Democratic party, ing that it would reverse its time-hon- policy of opposition to the rights of race, and provide a place under its for colored voters of self-respect not only believed in a division of the vote, but were tired of the attitude of Republicans. Mr. Wilson and his party have lost a hidden opportunity by their policy of utter regard of the Negro, to hasten this The fact that Congress has failed to incorporate an amendment in the Railroad Bill which would eliminate Jim Crow cars, as well as neglected to pass legislation making lynching a federal offense have added to the unrest. There is every indication that 1920 will witness a big movement among the colored people demanding the enactment of such remedial legisla Mr. Editor: Allow me to take this occasion to thank Mr. Caleb Robinson, of Benning Road, D.C., or his stand in the defense of Morgan College. I do not know the gentleman, but I do know that he has the God-given intelligence to determine quality. Some surface thinking people have often spoken of Morgan College students during retreat, that is to say that when students are busy elsewhere they come to Morgan College. Yes, they some, and if there is no initiative in the part of the student to analyze he Flunks. Our athletes, we will admit, are in a primary stage but the athlete-c association has the hearty cooperation of every student, both male and female, to bring the athlete to an exalted place. We avoid assiduations and avoid surprises; we ask the public to advocate our success rather than to suggest names for our departments. Morgan College stands for noble ideals and moral principles and if scholarship and character cannot be questioned Morgan College is not the place for any student whether rich or poor. And at that we are ready to turn our other check when folks say unpleasant things about us and move forward. Morgan College will realize the stibation because she has the budged support of nearly two hundred students and a host of friends and former students. J. STANLEY JAMES Student of Morgan College December 28th. Dr. U. G. Bourne Urges Calling of State Convention to Serve Notice On Lily White Republicans. You and City Councilman Warner T. Mcginnan are to be complimented for your many stand taken at the Republican Conference in your city on Monday evening, last. You both spoke to the point upon a matter that he colored voters of Federick county have had occasion recently to voice their sentiments. This is a new era and it is imperative that you colored men throughout that State of Maryland should unite themselves in an organization so that our political rights any receive such consideration as we rightfully contend is our legitimate measure for manhood suffrage. We are chats and punctets of the Republican party because we lack backbone and common judgment, and it is up to us to demand just consideration. This we can secure better through a State organization and if it is here that I suggest the calling of a State Mass Meeting in your city, some time in February, for the purpose of standing together as officer solid philanx in demand proper representation in your city.

"Justice" Breached Secured For Having Set Stamps of Approval Upon Riding Hoodlums By Small Fines. To the Editor:— I am sure you will agree with me, that such petty fines, and no punishment at all, as were imposed upon the three white men, who stoned the home of Mrs. Breedlove, in the 2000 block of N. Payson street, Saturday night, are encouraging such acts, rather than abolishing such acts. The men who committed the crime must have been very, very little removed from fear of civilized persons committed such outrageous crimes on suspicion alone, simply because they saw a colored man go into the house; the colored went there to see the colored maid, who worked there. What if colored people had moved there! Colored people had as much right to move into that house as a colored had to work there. What is the difference? She was living there anyway? And indeed there must be something the matter with Mrs. Breedlove, too, to have a servant work jkg for her and allow those sorry white men to so ill-treat her servant and her servant, a friend, in her own home, knowing, as she did, that those, colored people were innocent. And, "dear colored maid!" If Mrs. Breedlove does not make some effort to have those men tried, for you cannot say that they have been tried, you may from now on, know that Mrs. Breedlove is no friend to you, and you need to accept some other place to work. Then, when these, violators of the law, were arraigned before Mr. Brendel, I say "Mr. Brendel", because the word "Justice" has no right to be written within one thousand miles of his name), acted like the Kaiser—Oh, I don't mean to say he acted like the Kaiser, for it would be an injustice to the Kaiser to say that, at any rate, Mr. Brendel capped him with a crown and hadness crackers the "murmurus" sum of $3.45 each. We all know that little fine was imposed to let them know that he was well satisfied at what they had done. Just think of it. "Those men had, without provocation, stoned the house, then broke into it to tear paper from the walls, smashed a bed, and not being satisfied with that, they chased the maid and the young colored P.

Mentioning the unstinted praise that Andrew Jackson gave the colored soldiers who fought in the war of 1812, he said, Jackson as President, named Roger Brooke Taney Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, strange iron of fate, Mr. Grimke said, "which reserved to Andrew Jackson, whose mouth threw with praise for the Negro in 1814, that he, as President in 1835, elevated to the chief justiceship of the United States Taney, the infamous slave judge, who gave the Dred Scott decision, which argued that a colored man had no rights that a white man was bound to respect. The downright brutality of that decision was extremely shocking to some sensitive Americans, but it was no more so than was the downright brutality of the facts which it reflected with brutal accuracy. He surveyed the policies of profession and performance which followed in regard to the race until the Civil War broke into the construction period, discussed the beginnings of disfranchisement and Jim Crow cars and the spread of the same. He spoke of the growth of Republican law, interest in the race, the winning influence of the Negro in the party council and about the declaration that he would not appoint colored people to office in the South, made by Mr. Taft when inaugurated President in 1909. TAFT AND THE NEGRO "Mr. Taft appeared upon the sequeste," he said, "and became famous or infamous, as a builder on the walls of the temple of the new American Jerusalem, where profession is high priest to the god of promises. He himself was a worker in following the lines of caste, in putting into place a new stone in the office when he announced his policy at the beginning of his administration that he would not appoint any colored man to office in the South where the whites object.

"We repudiate the leadership of any man who advises us to be accorded the equality of other men in the same cause.

Continued From Page Four, of the efforts of the teachers looking toward better educational facilities. HIPN NORMAL SCHOOL Principal D. S. Goodlee, principal of the Colored State Normal School, urged a standard normal school for the training of teachers, adequately supported by the State. "Colored people who ask for less than equal educational facilities and accept less," he said, "are guilty of an inferior place in this republic." Prof. J. H. Lockerman, principal of the Baltimore Colored Teachers' Training School, offered a resolution placing the teachers on record as favoring adequate northerly facilities. This was seconded by Dr. T. H. Nih, principal of Princess Anne Academy, and unanimously passed. Following an organ recital by W. Llewellyn Wilson and the singing of several selections by the Cosmopolitan Choral Society at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Tuesday night, Professor Gandy delivered an interesting address on "What is It to Be Educated?" He said popular misconceptions of an educated man were: 1. Judging men by the clothes they wore. 2. Judging men by their work. 3. Misleading a fund of information for education. 4. Misconstruing one as being educated by the ability to use big words of obscure meaning. APPEALS TO TEACHERS The real tests of education, he asserted, were: 1. To be physically fit. 2. Ability to use mother tongue with a degree of precision. He concluded, with an appeal to the teachers to give themselves unreservedly to the teaching of the young, for upon this will develop the growth and prosperity of the race. Major Brownling, who was to have spoken, was unable to be present on account of illness. State Superintendent of Schools stochiens was not present Tuesday night. Dr. J. O. G. Jones, president of Morgan College, explained the courses that will be offered at the university summer Prof. Mason A. Hawkins delivered an address on "Democracy." WORK ACCOMPLISHED President George E.

Only a short ago they were severely trounced by the Philadelphia Y on the latter's court, and last Saturday night they were the victims of the fast, going Alces of Washington, and it is about this game that we will now try to give a brief account. Suffice beginning this article word has come to us that our boys were again defeated, this time by the caddies of Washington, D. C. Following a preliminary game between the "X" second team and the "Outlaws" referee Wright, a former Baltimore man who is a member of the Hampton basketers, called the players to the floor and the game was over with a rush that first blood with a jump basket which brought loud cheers from the big crowd that was on hand to root for their favorites. Another basket for the home team was followed by a free basket for the visitors who almost immediately scored a pretty one from the floor. Repeated fouling by the beams gave the outsiders the opportunity to score and did they miss on the "free throws." The half ended however, with the Big Five on the edge, 15-13. The second half was a heart breaker for the locals. More funs, with consequent baskets for the outsiders; stomach-aching shots from the floor which rolled around the basket but failed to drop in; spectacular shots by the visitors which always seemed to fall in; all served to get the proverbial "goat" of the locals, who called out reserves in the hope of staving off certain defeat, but nothing seemed to avail them the much-needed cross marks on the scorer's sheet. When the scaping process was over, care was well waited to hear the score, it being sufficient to know that the "Y" had lost, and by no small margin either. Although the season is yet young and enough games have not been played, the warrant criticism for the team, a few suggestions from an interested rogue might not be out of place at this time. First the members of the "Y" team as well as their coach must bear in mind the fact that they and they alone represent Baltimore in this branch of sport, and any hareels won for Baltimore must be won by them and any failure on their part to play up to the best of their ability with its consultant loss of such games as Saturday night's means the bringing of a snatch on the proud record we hold in athletic circles. There are enough boys who play basketball to make two Big Fives and if the Y's coach finds that the present "Big Five" is not measuring up; it is taking it for granted that they are the best and only good ones around the town, and if they don't play the whole "Y" will go on the rocks; then we say get another "Big Five," and tell them they have GOT to hold up Baltimore colors, that we rooters to see them win and consistently over any and all teams that they may meet, and not be content to win a game now and then; or go out and get "soaked" and expect to be in physical condition to stand the grilling test which the game, (if played right) demands. We cannot complain now of the lack of facilities for training the men to play. We have a gym the equal of any in which other teams are permitted to practice. We have a coach, or a physical director who is supposed to see that the boys get the kind of training that will make them compare favorably with any team, anywhere. We have loyal fans who can be there when they can get to and these rosters want our "Y" to go over the top; we want nothing but the best and we shall be satisfied with nothing less than the best Baltimore and the Baltimore "Y" can give. In the game Monday night against the Carlyles of Washington, on the latter's court, the "Y" again showed up poorly. They were decisively defeated by the score of 45-25. Lyles was absent from the line-up, and Shade played in place. Taylor of the Washington team scored to hold goals. Hammons played a fair game at center while Taylor and Harris did most of the scoring for the locals. MARRIED Mr. Bruno Sylvester Lee and Miss Eliza Hall, of Clintallance, Baltimore County, were more mature. A. Green Monday night, 22:00. Mes. Janie L.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quimade is a highly medicated pome-to-dote that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair-ausing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced, registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style-desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinaseap. Quinaseap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinaseap fathers very freely, it leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refining feeling to the scalp unequally. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Sebey's Quinahade and Sebey's Quinahade, asking for them to be with you. If your drugrist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send in the price and you will mail them to you.
