Frederick Judges Appoint Bruce
Well Known Farmer is First Colored Man in 25 Years to Sit on Jury.
"AFRO" TOOK LEAD
Letter to All Judges in State Last Month Urged Appointment of Jurymen.
Special to the Afro-American
Frederick, Md., Jan. 22...In the
Frederick, Md., Jan. 22 — In the list of juries drawn for the trial of H. Worthingham for the February term of the Frederick County Court appears the name of Richard T. Bruece, a colored farmer, and a public school publics. This is the first time in twenty-five years that a colored man has been selected for Jury service in this county.
Under date of December first, the AFRO-AMERICAN send the following letter to all the judges: Send them the court: Dear Sir.
SUBJECT — I am pleased to me to be one of the most unlucky things in our present court procedure is the elimination of colored men of color from the city and state. Out of the many colored person who are willing to serve on grand jury, some months pass when the judge of the men's juries, colored people are never picked and it is only in rare cases that colored men sit on petit juries.
Our constitution declares that citizens of the commonwealth shall be tried by their peers. Is it not a violation of the spirit is not the judge's duty to be intent or neglect kept from serving as juries? I confess that to me exact justice would demand that in cases where colored people only in the jury are present the right to demand an all colored jury; and in cases where the two races are concerned, parties should have a right to demand, a mixed
"If it please your honor, I declare to state frankly here, that one of the many causes of the colored man in America in his dissatisfaction with the present jury system, the lurking suspicion become conviction in many cases, that he is not getting a square "Every national Negro welfare organization, that has held its annual or semi-annual meeting this past month has begun a reform of the present method of selecting juryman." President Wilson stated on his last western trip that only way to remove advantages was to remove the grievance.
Among the first replies to the above letter received was a letter from Judge Werner, who she that that Worther had considered the matter jointly. The Judge declared: "We can assure you that in the selection of persons for jury service in the size or intention to discriminate against anyone on account of color."
Judge Walter P. Davies of the Baltimore Superior Bench stated "The theory of the last is that no race is considered in selecting juries. Such is the practice in Maryland. He also said that As colored men is nearly always selected for the Grand Jury, Cormer's Juries are selected from people near at hand when the jury Colored men are also selected for the Petit Jury."
At the last meeting of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore, the judge of the PID was called to their attention by Judge Morris A. Soper.

Accompanied by the Consul General of Persia and by some women, the Chancellor again addressed mass murmurations of Harlem, and again he was cried down in what was described as the noisiest demonstration ever witnessed in that section of the city. A Negro clergyman from Boston arose from the audience, and dramatically proclaimed that the officers present were stunched Bolshevik. He railed against the Government and repudiated the American flag in flagrant terms. The most hostile of applause and the visiting party, fearful for their safety, withdrew.
2 TAX SYSTEMS
IN DELAWARE
Colored Schools Get Taxed from Colored People and White Schools from Whites.
Dover, Del. January 22.—The commission appointed by the State Legislature in 1917 to make a survey of educational system reports that colored teachers receive an average annual salary of $315 and that a larger percentage of colored teachers than whites in the rural schools have received either a normed or collegiate education.
“White and colored schools,” the report reads, “are not only separately administered, they are, as far as local support goes, separately financed—the whole schools enjoying all local revenues accruing from taxes upon the person and property of whites; the colored schools existing on the county proceeds from the taxation of the person and the property belonging to Negroes. Thus, practically, there are two separate systems, one for white, the other for colored children. No such anecdotal and undemocratic arrangement can be found in any other State of the Union.”
The taxes paid by whites from property rented to colored tenants goes to white schools.
France Asks For
Paris, France, Jan. 18.—The Petit Parisian, the foremost journal published in France, recently said Editorially: "With 1,000,000 men in poor power, We need 2,000,000 men to help in the reconstruction of France. The only country that can supply that power is the American colored power. The colored Americans are very much dissatisfied, and there is much unrest among them on account of the way they are treated as parts of America, black men are lynched every day. In France they are treated as, any other Frenchman. In our hotels and all other places there is no discrimination. For 2,000,000 colored Americans to help build up France."

ordered American soldiers cutting down the representation of the disfranchising states? If so, when? If not, why not? If not, why not? The American Federation of Labor and the colored worker. "5. Can the colored railroad worker hold what he has when the railroads are returned to private property? If not, then what about that fact?" "6. How can we best get the news to the American people the Jim Craw car is eating away the heart of the American nation?" "7. Is lynching to be standard of law and order in the United States? If not, who will stop it; how and when?"

WHITE NEWSPAPERS ROASTS CRACKERS.
Condemns Firms That Only Have
Elevator Jobs for Educated
Colored Men and Women
Boston, Mass., Jan. 22.—Declaring that the government cannot afford to be unfriendly to one tenth of the population or social need in a crisis, the CHRISTIAN-II-UMANITARIAN, a white publication here, states that "one half the Negro race is no darker than the white race, so why all this caste distinction," "Colored people" says the article" would be fools if they were satisfied and with their fixed social status, if they did not aspire to the white status; and they don't want the earth.
This single feature of employment, is really at the bottom of the discontent and bitterness right here in Boston, where sentiments about "freedom" are engraved on dozens of tablets, are hundreds of big companies employing people who don't hire a colored person. Why? Colored people, conscienously send their children to the public school, then through high school, confidently expecting the white people will do the right thing, when those children are fully prepared to complete for jobs in the business world. A Job on the elevator is as near as these educated colored young men and women ever get to the office. We have got to remedy this injustice, and act altogether to remove this great bar to our country's progress, and this stain on its economy. Anbultious colored youth are kept down. Colored people are not wanted in the business world, and this stain on its economy is discrimination against colored men, in the business world, in Un-American and in-humann. It serves to keep down, and render both twenty-three American women and twenty-everything men, as far as permitted, to fit themselves for an even chance in the business world. In situations, present themselves to the business world to compete for situations, all their preparation and equipment counts for nothing. The color line stops people from customizing. Custom is the only barrier, and that can be easily broken down.

Rabidell, N. G., Jun. 22—In the City Auditorium before an audience of colored people celebrating the 50th anniversary of Emmanuel Emanuel Johnson, Jokelot black colored people to stay at polities and stop agitating against Jim Crow Cars.

I am opposed to that. But the Governor insisted that the Negro ought to "After you, get those decent cars" he added, "it is up to you to keep them decent." "The greatest blunder the Negro ought to make at this time" he said, "is to get into politics. I have seen it under both regimes, before 1900 and after 1980 and the most remarkable of the Negro has been since 1900.
"I can't go before the legislature to vote on the dawn's done," he said, referring to the moment of needed institutions for the race, "if the cry of the Negro raised in North Carolina. Do not throw away this golden opportunity of your race to Sack out those moon and claim it for your own."

Mason, Emmanuel F. Smith filled this wipe in the Circuit Court in jeopardy that Grand Master Ewc and the Worshipful United Grace Lodge of Free and Accepted Sons be restrained from interning with them, and that the pension be declared null and void.

Prof. A. S. Beckham, instructor in psychology and journalism at Willower College, University of Michigan, the AFRO-AMERICAN office this week. In speaking of the course in journalism at the university, he said: "The university instituted is course in journalism at the beginning of the present school year. We have thirty-six students enrolled in the course. We have a knowledge of newspaper practice and newspaper structure. The students publish a paper called the Sun Dial, where they write articles. The AFRO-AMERICAN is the one paper we make pupils study in style and make-up. To my mind, it is the best journal published by the race. We also use a Chicago journal another race journal regularly. The university recognizes the need of race journalists and contemplates a course in newspaper writing and making. We recognize that such newspapers as the AFRO-AMERICAN and a few others are in need of young men who have had special training."
Professor Beckham received the degree of bachelor of arts from Lincoln University in 1915. The following year, he received the degree from Ohio State University and in 1917 was made a master of arts. He studied journalism while in the latter university. He also took a summer course in journalism at Columbia University. He gained keen interest as he inspected the various departments of the "Afro" plant.

NOT KNOW IT ALL
My wife suffered from tungle trouble last year as a popular white doctor resisting on Connentic avenue. He did that all he could and in fact nothing more could be done for her. He left her caughing until he was called in to help. Our advice used to call Dr. D. Newton E. Campbell the Lung and Nerve Surgeon, and time and time, he came to Washington, Oct. 6. 1318. In less than a month he had fever and fever reduced to normal.
She has gained more than 16
pounds since and is able to part
part of the family. She told the white doctor of my wife's
improvement. He wandered and said
he would go to the doctor so he
could do such grand work. Anyone can come and see my wife now. Her address is 1926 15th St.

"PRAYER DOES NOT CHANGE GOD"
Statement By Minister Evokes Discussion At Preachers' Meeting.
That God is an unchanging being and that he is not swayed and thither by the prayers of individuals, was the statement made by Rev. James A. Briscoe before the A. M. E. Ministers of their ministry, on Monday at the Hotel Church.
"Prayer does not change God," Rev. Briscoe said, "prayer has its effect on the man who prays, and on the minister who prays, and some disagreed. Rev. J. W. Norris was one of the latter. He relied to the statement of Rev. Briscoe as "serving the profession, and theologically twisted."
The subject under discussion was "Allow in the Church" and the essay was "Allow in the Church" and the essay was "Allow in the Church". T. Colbert, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, said that prayer meetings could be helped if the pastor were to attend on time. He stated that he had not been late for a church meeting in three times in the past 14 years.
Ebenezer First
Ehnenzer A. M. M. Church, Rev. C. I. Stewart, pastor, was the first colored or white church in the city for Sunday night service. At present, it is the only colored church to use the movies, and is one of 2,000 churches in the United States having its own machine and screen.
C. M. E. Bishopz
Not to Meet Here
People the general impression to the contrary the histories of the Colorado State University most here on February 12. Is the latest information available. The students will be present. The Zacharias will hold their session here, and the preparations are being made for the entertainment of the students who will be attested later directly.
Good work is being accomplished at Grape Presbyterian Church. The Sunday School rooms are becoming the numbers that are coming every Sunday. Nearly one hundred pupils have been added to the Sunday School, including the pupils in the middle months, resulting from a canvass by twenty-two workers. A Boy Scout troop has been recently organized by the energetic efficient Scout Master, Mr Holley. The church is fully alive with great enthusiasm to rid itself of the mortgage indebness by May. Rev. J. T. Collis is the pass
In Methodist Churches
The union revival meetings between Ames, M. Tizon and Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, that have been going on for the past next Monday night. There have been over 160 conversions, mostly young people. Revival services are in progress at St. Matthews M. E. Church, Rev. R. A. Green is the pastor. A ten-day revival campaign has just come to an end at Metropolitan M. E. Church, with 144 convictions. Rev. R. W. S. Thomas is the pastor. Rev. W. S. Jackson, pastor of Contenial M. E. Church, is conducting a revival campaign at his church. Day services were held at Amesbury M. E. Church last Sunday, Rev. R. N. Brooks presided in the morning and in the evening the past week with a special sermon to Dunnon Lodge of Knights of Lythias. The Elite Singing Society furnished musical selections, with Mr. Edward Williams as soloist, Mr. Hayes Waters gave dramatic readings.
Churches Should
That ministers should enroll young children as members so that they will be reared in the M. E. Brooks, an island before the M. E. Minister's Meeting at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church last Monday. Rev. S. H. Norwood asserted that he had long been an advocate of that idea, believing that when the child reaches adolescence the church would remain in the church. He said that church officials were opposed, however. Rev. A. J. Mitchell, S. W. Williams were among those who spoke along similar lines. Rev. C. E. Hodges will read a speech at the "Status of the Washington Conferences in Stated Church Benevolences."
PETHEL SUNDAY SCHOOL

Rev. Molock Says Nine Out Of Ten Men Are Not Called.
"I do not believe that nine out of ten men who say that they have a divine call to the ministry are called," was the declaration made by Rev. Dr. A. M. Molock speaking before the Colored Baptist Ministry's Conference at Yorkshire Square Baptist Church Monday
"This is an age of special preparation for various callings in life," he continued. "The man who would be an accountant, bookkeeper, stenographer, lawyer or doctor must have special preparation for his life work. He must possess more fitness than was demanded a generation ago."
"The minister must not only be equipped for his special work, but must have a general knowledge, the people regarding him as a sort of physician, doctor and business adviser. He must be in advance on all questions that come before the people. Those of us who are educated must see that the men entering the ministry, as well as those in it, have that training that will enable them to keep abreast of everything."
Dr. Aielock closed with an appeal for interest in the effort to being about a well-trained ministry. He will more fully outline his ideas to the conference at a later date.
Looking toward co-operation along general uplift lines, a number of white Baptist ministers will appear before the Chief Baptist Conference at an early date. At a meeting several weeks ago, white Baptist ministers appeared before the conference and outlined a preliminary plan for co-operation.

Local ministers of the Washington M. E. Conference evinced keen interest in the announcement that a plan of merger had been agreed upon by the joint commission.
The question of autonomy for the colored contingent, as well as that of race bishops, had long been a subject of debate, especially in the Baltimore M. E. Preachers' Meeting.
In discussing the proposed merger and its relation to the colored membership, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon told a representative of the AFBG-AMERICAN:
"From the merger details at hand, I cannot say whether or not the plan of merger will be entirely acceptable to the colored membership, any more than a man could say. National and the Peace Treaty until he had read the text. The matter is one that demands study from alert, competent and far-sighted leaders, and ordering understand correctly."
Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of James Memorial Church, said that the commissioned church should be informed in the press dismatches, "should be accountable to the colored membership. If admitted by both branches of Methodism, it will recognize the church's contended for by the colored membership, as well as pay the way for adequate race leadership. The Southern Church was not discontended for by the colored Church. Rev. S. A. Virrel, pastor of St. Paul Church, declined to comment until the General Conferences had taken action, expressing a fear not such action might prejudice
In view of the plan adopted by
the secretable among white and
colored ministers to be elected

For the second time in the history of Frederick County, a colored man has been appointed on the jury. Very naturally the announcement has provoked both favorable and unfavorable comment upon the wisdom of it.
Fair-minded white people, and there are many of them in Frederick County, declare that unless the Constitution of the United States is to be regarded as invalid, then colored persons must have the right to serve on juries as well as other citizens of the commonwealth. The right of a colored man to sit on a jury is just as sacred as his right to vote, and the abridgement of either of these rights is both unjust and unconstitutional.
In the minority of the white people of Frederick County, can be found a white man like Charles S. Houck, Sr., who has twice been a foreman of Frederick County Juries.
Commenting on the appointment of a colored man on the county jury, he says:
(1) "In the years to come, Frederick County justice may be handed out by Negroes. If one is drawn now, there is nothing to stop the court from drawing an entire black jury. Frederick County would certainly be honored by having a Negro jury dealing justice in our court."
(2) "At this time of the year when the farmers are not overworked it would seem to me that the court could certainly find enough eligible intelligent white men who would be willing to serve on a jury without placing the name of a Negro on the court records of our county."
As to Mr. Huck's first statement, he, himself knows there is absolutely no truth in it. There is nothing in the appointment of one single colored man among eleven others that can lead to the surprise that an all-colored jury would ever be named to handle all colored and white cases in the court. On the other hand if Mr. Houck is displeased over the appointment of a single colored man on the jury, how must colored people have felt these past twenty-five years when all twelve of the jury appointed to try their cases were white. If Mr. Houck can be generous and fair-minded let him put himself in the place of an intelligent colored man once, and he would soon see that it is a poor rule that does not work both ways.
As to the second statement, it was not a question of trying to find eligible white men for the jury, but finding eligible citizens. This thing our white friends must learn and learn quickly: "OUR GOVERNMENT MAKES NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN CITIZENS AS TO COLOR WHEN IT COMES TO LEVYING TAGES, OR WHEN IT COMES TO DRAFTING SOLDIERS. SINCE THIS IS TRUE, NO DISTINCTION CAN BE MADE WHEN IT COMES TO THE VOTING PRIVILEGE, JURY PRIVILEGE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER GREAT PRIVILEGES, THAT BELONG TO ALL CITIZENS."
The people of Frederick County do well to commend the action of Chief Judge Hammond Umer, Republican and Glenn H. Worthington, Democrat, in appointing Mr. Richard T. Bruce for the February Term of the Court. To the AFRO-AMERICAN, the judges wrote that it was not the intention of the Circuit Court "to discriminate against anyone on account of color." This is the sentiment that can be commended to the other judicial districts of the State.
That "Haste makes waste" was evidenced this week in the return to port of the Steamer Yarmouth of the Black Line after a quick dive to sea last Saturday. The ship is the only steamed known owned, officered and manned by American Negroes. It has been rechristened the "Frederick Douglass," but as yet papers have not been taken out in the new name.
Ordinarily, the Yarmouth, which just returned last week to New York from a trip to the West Indies, would not have set out so soon. However, the prohibition amendment, went into effect last Saturday at midnight, and immediately the ship docked, haste was made to unload her cargo, and load a new consignment of champagne, whiskey and gin for Cuba. About two million dollars worth of liquor was gotten on board, but another half million dollars worth was left on the pier--because of the hurry to get away.
Everything went well until Monday, when the steamer going into heavy seas sprung a leak 55 miles off Cape May. This cargo improperly packed, shifted, it is said, and caused the force part of the ship to take water.
Wireless calls for help were sent out and the stepping Yarmouth was escorted back to port. Venue agents now claim that the cargo should be unissued under the prohibition not, while the owners declare that the ship cleared before the law went into effect, and for this reason the cargo is exempt. A legal battle will now be waged in the courts, all because there was haste and carelessness in loading the cargo in the first place.
MONKEYS SET AN EXAMPLE
In the islands of the Eastern, or what is known as the Malayan Archipelago, the monkeys which abound in these parts are trained to be useful and assist in eating the coconuts off the trees.
the islands of the Eastern, or what the Malayan Archipelago, the monkey in these parts, are trained to be up picking the coconuts off the trees little animals can climb higher than and thus fruit that is otherwise inured. A London newspaper impart on that on a certain coconut pumkin staff, they absolutely refuse to wander unactually at 4 o'clock every day, to down from the trees, and no thunder induces them to pick one single on the next day. Districts throughout the world are always for cheap labor. In America the colored and white children are the East it falls to the lot of the and the Indian stevedores, and no skyes are being put to work. Exaches its limit. One thing the exploited laborers, and that is the hours.
The little animals can climb higher than a man can go, and thus fruit that is otherwise inaccessible is gathered. A London newspaper imparts the information that on a certain coconut plantation, where monkeys form a considerable part of the working staff, they absolutely refuse to work overtime. Punnetally at 4 o'clock every day, they come scuttling down from the trees, and no threats or baits can induce them to pick one single nut more until the next day.
Capitalists thrust the world are always on the lookout for cheap labor. In America the colored man and the colored and white children are exploited; in the East it falls to the lot of the Chinese Coolie and the Indian stevedores, and now finally the monkeys are being put to work. Exploitation here reaches its limit. One thing the monkeys teach exploited laborers, and that is the principle of union hours.
) IMMIGRANTS WANTED
addition to the invitation of a Parish which offers Sunny France to you as a refuge from the racial persecute they are subjected in the United State of Brazil has also extended a four black workers, something Brazil's offer is more attractive to the French. The South America declares that it will pay the steam migrants, who will take up farms, to speak Spanish, and the French of course French, so that the colorado hopes to settle in either country of learning a new language. The Many of the returned soldiers are able to use the French language freedom after three weeks, and that a year felt themselves perfectly if anything, is still easier to do which is an added argument in there is any further reason why Brazil itself to the immigrant, it is that and mixed peoples outnumber the way, and there is no "color line" as american. Black men in Brazil are else for which they have the intelligence. A black man can be president to make no more comment than the elicited here. France is likewise truly dredged people in France are few and Immigrants are more likely to feel than in France. It is most important is that these are appreciate the worth of the America to make a bid for him. Whether this value in the eyes of the home necessity be increased thereby.
In addition to the invitation of a Parisian newspaper, which offers Sunny France to American Negroes as a refuge from the racial persecution to which they are subjected in the United States, the Government of Brazil has also extended an invitation to our black workers.
If anything Brazil's offer is more attractive than the offer of the French. The South American republic declares that it will pay the steamship fare of immigrants, who will take up farms in that country.
Brazilians speak Spanish, and the French people speak of course French, so that the colored American who hopes to settle in either country faces the difficulty of learning a new language. This is not great. Many of the returned soldiers aver that they were able to use the French language with reasonable freedom after three weeks, and those who remained a year felt themselves perfectly at home. Spanish, if anything, is still easier to learn than French, which is an added argument in favor of Brazil.
If there is any further reason why Brazil commends itself to the immigrant, it is that the red black and mixed peoples outnumber the whites apprehably, and there is no "color fine" as we know it in American. Black men in Brazil are eligible for any office for which they have the intelligence and training. A black man can be president of Brazil, and evoke no more comment than the election of a white man here. France is likewise truly democratic but, colored people in France are few and far between. Immigrants are more likely to feel at home in Brazil than in France.
What is most important is that these two countries appreciate the worth of the American Negro enough to make a bid for him. Whether he goes or not, his value in the eyes of the home country must of necessity be increased thereby.

..The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is doing a national service in keeping close watch on the legislation in Congress that vitally effects Negroes, calls attention to section six of the Graham Sedition Bill, now before the House, which reads:
That every book, magazine, newspaper, document, handbill, poster or written, pictorial, or printed matter, memorandum, sign, symbol, or communication of any form * * * wherein and whereby an appeal is made to racial prejudice the intended or probable result of which appeal is to cause rioting or the resort to force and violence within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is hereby declared to be nonmalable, and the same shall not be deposited in any postoffice for mailing or be conveyed in the mails or delivered from any postoffice or by any letter carrier." The practical effect of this section, should it be come a law, will be to give the Postmaster the power to bar from the mails a large number of colored publications. Any newspaper or magazine that prints the truth about lynching, that argues Negroes to vote, or protests against Jincerow cars, is in other words, agitate for the rights of full American citizenship will be construed as making an appeal to racial prejudice, and kept out if the mails.
The House Committee held its hearing on the bill Thursday of this week, and pressure was exerted by the National Association and other bodies to kill the measure. Perhaps they may not succeed and in that case it will be up to colored and white people everywhere 16 express themselves to members of Congress against this measure, which bridle stree-speech.
THE RIGHT OF THE MAJORITY TO RULE
In these times, when Republicans of the nation are professing so much love for democratic institutions and the right of the people to rule, it is a dangerous proceeding for the New York Legislature to refuse admittance to five Socialists, because some of the planks adopted in the national platform of the Socialist party of 1917, where not to their liking. The majority of the New York Legislature struck a blow at the right of the people to select their own representatives, and can not hide behind the plan that Democrats aided them. It is to be regretted that John C. Hawkins, a Republican, and the only colored member of the Legislature, voted to refuse them admittance, and later told the N. Y. WORLD that "he could not discuss the matter at this time." The New York WORLD, members of the New York Bar Association, Justice Hughes and other non-Socialists, are rendering the public a service when they strongly oppose the motion taken against the Socialists. The proceeding only tends to intensify interest, instead of allaying it.
The action against the five Socialists and the protests it has occasioned, brings sharply to the front the fact that Southern whites have denied the colored people of their section the right of participation in representative government. Should the action of the New York Legislature be sustained, and the election of some colored men to the legislatures of Southern States follow, white legislators in the latter States could vote to exclude such members on the ground that colored men have no right to sit in their legislatures and that their election is imminual to the interests of the white man.
THE AFRO-AMERICAN
Morgan College Students Tell Of
The Wonderful Student's Conv
ion Held in Des Moines.
10. The tournil of the tumult of re-adjustment and the fight for racial rights by our trusted leaders, perhaps little thought has been given to the new generation as to their ability to grow and be good and noble. Last week three delegates from Morgan College returned from the Eighth International Students Volunteer Convention from the monte insight; open radiian visas before the eye of Christian hope. A meeting of the forty old nationalities represented by the 7,700 delegates from the United States and Canada, was itself a some never to be forgotten. The movement whose sole object is to stimulate the foreign missionary urging and inspiring the United States for one generation, during which time $140 students volunteers have gone to virtually all of the battle fields of Christianity, throughout the world, and 167 of that number at Africa. How many of the 250 colored delegates will carry the spirit of the Convention, the Evolutization of the World in this generation, the schools and colleges time alone, will tell.
Dr. George H. Haynes so forcefully presented in unflinching language the rightful claims of our race to a place on God's earth, that the great throng ignored the claim to the chairman, to refrain from applause throughout the Convention. Then it was a convention of races, black faces were seen in all the southern delegates. One of the delegates should be in the **output field**. Another delegate remarked "People from my home go to China, but the Belgian possesses a medicine my medical course is complete I cannot resist." The burning words of Monsieur Pierre Maury, General Secretary of the French Students' Christian Federation said their weariness "overtime you in the course of the struggle, you will think of those who died without experience of doubt, knowing that you would continue their work." He faded into a fugue upon you, full of confidence and of gratitude. There will be no more tears no more anxieties, no more tears. All together in the shadow of our glorious dead, so shall throw with all their might treat the foot path of the future."

This Reader Believes That The Movie "The First Should be Improved." The First Appeal to The Managements.
It is with inexpressible disgust that I attempt to acquaint you and the public with the "rottiness" of the maudeville shows that our children and families are attending in this city.
I have attended central of the shows for "our people" operated by unscrupulous whites and other unscrupulous blacks, foreign to the colored race and who are simply pulling off all kinds of rotten junk to draw the crowds, regardless of the harm they do to our people, young and old.
Apparently the men and women composing their troupes are of the slums and have neither talent, education nor cracked voices they yell songs only by the very lowest class and try to complete their entertainment by making broad expressions and wigging their filthy bodies, girls of their way from school stopping at these places daily.
Can't you or some reader suggest a remedy for this that will make it safe for our families to attend a show?

What the Editor of the "APRO-AMERICAN" is, in this particular, as not only for respects, can not be separated from, and spiritual realm which has come to him. I thank God for the beloved mother of the editor of the "Aro-American"; of the "Aro-American"; of the beautiful, useful children whom I know, and in the ever expanding work of the Y. W. C. A.

educated and Christian blacks of Maryland, are demonstrating their superiority in the things which pertain to the very essence of the Almighty, in moral and spirit power. We are not adversely adverse convencion of man can but increase the moral and spiritual power of the black man, and, in this sign he must conquer. We thank God that the records of this Commonwealth were kept up the very beginning of the colony of Maryland to this day there has been a minority of white men who thoroughly believe in fraternity, brotherhood and justice. And because we have been thank God that the cause of justice will finally triumph through the efforts of black and white men, who do not lose their heads, and who are minded to work heroically to inform and recreate a public opinion absolutely in harmony of fraternity, brotherhood and justice.
We can never hope to unify the colored race, and consummate the desired end, until we get God in our institution that the Almighty is not a material God. God is a Spirit, and God is Love. He is a God of righteousness. He is a God of righteousness and the inevitable results of the inward spiritual life. And while we are willing to freely admit that all who are not a Christian who is not a Christian. We are not unmindful of the fact that the great body of black Marylanders are thoroughly Christian. And the great body of pessimism from that kind of pessimism which sees only "one thing" for which they should be thankful to the Almighty.

As To Who Should Be Appointed Assistant Superintendent OF Public Schools.
In current discussions in regard to the qualifications of an Assistant Superintendent in the public schools of Baltimore, whose duty it is to look after the children some helpful things have been said.
A serious and honest criticism must not overlook 'essential elements' in the person fitted otherwise for public service. In our public service, our colored papers an esteemed friend of mine has depicted what she regards as the elements necessary in such an official. In her zeal, perseverance, and dedication, the most essential element. This is an age of specialization and the appointee ought to be familiar not only with the History of Education but also with biographies of Education with his eyes on the entire field of Pedagogy. Many have been the changes in recent years. Educational work is current today, from what it was twenty years ago, and a person who was 'well educated' in those days, can not fill the bill as a specialist today unless he has kept up with the changes in the modern systems of education.
As our friends and enemies insist that the colored race is on trial, we can not afford to have a representative any person between us, and we cannot if that person is half trained, and unfamiliar with the great educational problems of the day. We must have the best. Give us a man of modern training, young and well-trained, with knowledge and add to its efficiency. He must be courageous and uncompromising when great principles are at stake. He must be a MAN of strength and courage, and men alike. His views must be publicly uttered and not concealed from fear of other people. The time has come when we claim to consideration our own social friendship and political or denominational alignment. We must cease fighting qualified persons, because of our petty likes and dislikes. We must have a representative, not a figure head.
The appointee, man or woman, should have the requisite training, character, experience, deep interest in children, and convictions that will help you to gain knowledge of our needs. Otherwise we would have a mere "toady," a figure head; a representative in name only. We would have one person of higher training, of exceptional experience, and one in whom the people have confidence.

Founded on ground have been purchased just beyond the new Hanover car line car, and within sixty days. It is expected that the work of erection will begin. The program calls for the opening of the grounds in May of this year.
"It is simply wonderful how Baltimore has taken to the proposition of an Amusement Park," said Dr. Mason to a reporter of the APRO-AMERICAN, "and I can only account for it in two ways. The first thing is that we have a splendid board of directors and the second thing is everybody knows a real amusement park is a necessity and will pay handsome dividends."

Mr. Mitchell is widely known as the editor and owner of the Richmond Planet on of the oldest race journals in the country. He was a stalwart political activist, and at one time represented the old jackson ward in the City Council. He is also grand champion of the Knights of Pythias of Virginia and is a member of the American
The St. Luke is one of the strongest fraternal Orders in the country. It runs a successful bank, prints a newspaper, stall-master office, office mrs. Maggie Walker, the secretary-treasurer, is the guiding spirit. WHITES BURN VIEW PROPERTY While merchants are anxious to buy up all property along Second Street. They are offering fancy prices for the second-bedroom that they therefore will be largely patronized by colorful people. Local colored nailers are opposed to the plan to buy up property along that street. A local colored insurance company is also allying the movement. The True Reformers still have their own partnership with the Street.
John Mitchell and others connected with the Machines Saving Bathroom Project in the same block of Broad Street, sit in the same block where the white Masonic Temple is located. The purchase price was $100,000, and when the purchasers were colored they kept on making offers to buy the property until the figure reached $15,000. The purchasers declined the offer. At the time the property was sold, the purchasers were a yearly round of $18,000 was in force. This lease has some time to run. Colored people were very poor and now they can secure accommodations in the gallery. When the lease run out it is not the intention of the property that will dislurify against colored patterns. The house will set up 200 persons. A plan is planned to build it a large theater.
Two department stores were run here at one time by race interests and were being well patronized by the colorful banded themselves together and threatened to boycott wholesales who furnished merchandise to those stores. The result was that the race stores wanted, and the white merchants got back this trade. Richmond has had good school supplies for the Civil War. It has had a high school for more than half a century, the present Amstrong High School being an outgrowth Virginia Union University and Huron University, and the Amstrong institution, supported by Equities, and are doing a most creditible work.

Then the churches are institutions that have helped to make Richmond a number of "Sum Do-Move" fame, is dead. A monument to his memory has been erected in a local cemetery, however.
Hugged Old Maids
Defeated for Office
The law requires candidates for office to file a report of all expenditures. A patriot of Clarion county, I've run for office and turned the following truthful report of what is cost him not to get elected:
"Lost 1915 hours" sleep thinking about the election. Lost two front teeth and a lot of hair in a personal exponner with an opponent. Donated one beef, four shouts and five sheep to county barbecues. Gave away two pairs of suspenders, four called wregers and $5 in cash.
"Kissed 126 babies, Put up four stoves. Kindled fourteen fires. Walked 1076 miles, Sheek hands with 9508 people. Told 19,101 lies, and talked enough to make in print 1,900 volumes. Attended sixteen revivals and contributed $350 to foreign missions. Made love to nine widows—five grues, four aged, Hugged forty-nine old mabs. Got dog bit thirty-times—and was not elected by 255 votes."

How French and American Black Troops Performed Decds of Valor on the Battlefields.
Among the factors which added the allied and associated nations, including the United States of America, to fight their way to victory in the great war were efficient services rendered by the dark skinned Hindus from Britain's furthest dominion and the Negro colonists of France—her Algerians, her Senegalese, and her Moroccan—wives. Fourteen years was dominant in the black death's, the German soldiers when, when fighting like demons, they had forced the Kaiser's probest shock troop to retreat before their arrival in Nigro citizens' their part for the world's liberty. What they did was made manifest by citation after citation, the conferring by the French Government of honor to many of many United States soldiers for distinguished bravery.
France for a long time struggled without the help of the black colonies, and the thought of valueman man service that was best served by other colonial possessions, while French soldiers by millions were falling on red antithesis, was slow in coming to her. And yet, in 1914, the French Minister of War at the time of the Fashoda episode, and of Mugai then a simple Captain, and of Gustoud, victor of Samory, she would at the time the European war broke out, and would carry into the field against Germany. In 1908 Mangin, then a Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff of Western Africa, forseing the European conquest, took up the idea again, but his proposals failed of acceptance: in 1910, however a commission headed by Mangin and composed of four African officers, took up the idea again, but his proposals failed of acceptance: it stayed three months. On its return it reported that an annual contingent of 10,000 black troops could be the great arm of seven divisions within four years. But when the war broke out France possessed only the two Algerian divisions originally planned.
The history of these two divisions of black soldiers is trifle. The men went into a hell of artillery fire, untested, and they proved their worth, and they proved their worth front first came in contact with the enemy at the helms at the end of September, 1911. The thunder of the big guns seemed only to amuse them, and the earring left them unimpressed. Aerials. In this sector on Nov. 7 the battalion attacked "on ground as completely as before" as a bolt-table cut every fifty yards by cannons, five fires, and two machine guns, wading through cemeteries three days and three nights the Semperfluges went forward under a frightful fire of artillery, infantry and machine guns, wading through cemeteries by the terrible half of prophesy, and ended with a surprise attack at 5 o'clock in the morning, in which was the whole front line was moved down by the first and last German divisions, and took the German trenches after a furious body to body struggle, of the whole battalion only 2 officers, 10 non-combined officers and 120 men remounted alive. So the second of Algeria died on the night of honor.
The end of the first battalion was equally dramatic. It happened at Balmacre, a male single fighter of the French marines. With these troops the Senecaux, on Nov. 10, they were defending, with the Belgian troops on the left and the cemetery of the troops, which were furiously attacked. The roaring field gray the poured suddenly upon them from the flanks. Two solutions faced them—to fly at their posts. They chose the latter.
An extraordinary scene began. The madness of battle and seized the black soldiers, the introduction of self-mutilation. The mysteries will of the African wood war be heard, beheartened to and an elemental power born of the carabineal life of the wilderness, lifted them above themselves. They poured forth to the amazed soldiers their fiery batte, their demise, their death, and their dislaboration into a savage and unintelligible harmony. A vast chant of war and death, it rose and grew, became formable, terrible, dominating all the battle, a funeral pall of the black yards stood in a stubble struck then they rudely perused striking, killing, dying. The German troops could not finish with them. The German commanders brought up machine guns and frogs a distance of the yards stood in a stubble struck the volleyes the long hymn of war died away, and silence came. But history schores with it still—.

BRIGHTEN YOUR
And Make Your Skin as Soft and Smooth as That of a Baby
What would you spend if you knew some beauty specialist could make your dark complexion many shades brighter, remove the blemishes and make your skin clear and smooth?
Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A clear, smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you.
Long ago realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to brighten their complexion.
After many tests and experiments, extending over a period of years, the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered to the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied just before bedtime and washed off the next morning. It is both simple and safe to use and just as delightful as the many face creams and lotions.
It contains only the best of oils and soap-making ingredients which are known to soothe and cleanse the pores, keep the skin in a healthy condition and improve the complexion.
The Black and White Beauty Treatment can be found at most good drug and toilet painters, or one package of Black and White Ointment and a bar of Black and White Soap will be sent you, postpaid.
Black and White Ointment alone will brighten your skin and remove pimples and roughness, but when Black and White Soap is also used, much quicker and better results are secured.
Black and White Soap is one of the best antiseptic toilet and beauty soaps made.

Shade brought three shots from the center of the floor at the important time that spelled the foot for the Smokey City lads. The passing of Taylor and the following players helped to make up the machine like playing at the X boys and caused the Pittsburghers much trouble in getting their hands on the ball. Johnson and Allen of the Scholars played a fine game, the former scoring when field goals and the latter receiving four. The crowd was very large and enthusiastic, among which there were many

Williams for the first half but his over judging of the second half, his team to suffer defeat. He had many chances at the basket, but did not seem to be able to score. The defense of Morgan out jumped its apparent most of the Game and played a good game. Dodges at the game were Sorrell who was very good in guards.
The scene at the end of the first half was 11 to 3 in favor of the High School. In the second half both teams had two long shots from the end of the court and besides make two other basketballs. Williams and Welb for the Morganes were the chief sources. Morgan put up two shots and two long shots from a late start and no facilities for meeting until after the holidays. Tanner for the High School played the game at guard and held his team to a field goal. His pass was intercepted by the opponent in the basketball ball world. There were many cheers from the students representing the two schools and it recalled the old school days when competition was fierce. The gallery rocked with cheer after cheer for the favored teams.

Boxing Exhibition at Y

A. on Thursday evening of last week, when they saw Moris Tasso and John stellar affair in the Ys' first public boxing exhibition, Tasso, who is aspiring for the light middleweight championship, is a great favorite among the local fight fans and they were not in the least disappointed in his exhibition, McCoy is touted as a light middleweight champion and considering the difference in weight, his heavier opponent, Tassos, however, had the advantage all the way. Dixie Kid and Johnny Scott had a lively set-to. Dixie showed his best stuff in the 5th and 10 rounds, while Scott had the big end in the 1st and 3rd. The 2nd and 4th were about even. John Wells and Kid Askins also had a six round go. A starer Seattle Kid acted as referee in a most acceptable summary.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of them are commercially 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 to moisturize it with merit. Scroop's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates hair growth and causes 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 is good for all skin 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 and wash it every two days. Quinade soap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinaseap lathers very freely. It leaves the skin feeling soft and fresh feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.
Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinade soap. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or does not deck these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or to send them to you. Seeby Drum Co. J. Wooester St. New York City.

THE MIRACLE MAN
Wonder Film of the 20th Century
For showing life in its realities "The Miracle Man" is the play that should appeal to all. You will see in this photoplay yourself in some attitude, mood or whim. You will laugh, be awe-stricken, and in turn as you witness its vivid portrayal of life. The men and women who take part in its production know life and they know how to present life to others. Trips to New York are mighty expensive nowadays but you can get a glimpse of New Gotham's Old Chinatown when you see "The Miracle Man." Then you are takeu to the upper strata of life, and on and on, until you can see man in his illusions and realities.
The play was written by George M. Cohan; is based on a story written by Frank L. Packard, and is produced by Geo. Loane Tucker. Its appeal is to the people in all walks of life. You will see in characters transformed into folks we would like to welcome in our homes, though in the past we would not let them in our back yards. When the Patriarch places his hand on Tom Burke's shoulder and prevents him from hitting Rose, the latter breaks down and weeps like a child. There are many Tom Burkes who could be saved by a resting influence.
