The Concubinage Law of the State of Louisiana WAS ENACTED FOR THE SOLE BENIFIT OF WHITE GENTLEMEN AND THEIR COLORED MISTRESSES. IN ORDER TO PERMIT THEM TO LIVE TOGETHER IN A STATE OF ADULTERY. THE BRAVE AND MANLY COLORED MEN IN THE SOUTH SHOULD IN SOME WAY OR OTHER SOCK IT TO ALL WHITE MEN IN THAT SECTION OF THE COUNTRY WHO CONSORT WITH NEGRO WOMEN. Vol. XV The Concubin the St WAS ENACTED FOR THE SOLE B THEIR COLORED MISTRES IN ORDER TO PERMIT THEM TO ADULTERY. THE BRAVE AND MANLY COLO IN SOME WAY OR OTHER THAT SECTION OF THE CO GRO WOMEN. We were in hope of having a law prohibiting the cohabitation of white men with Negro women, but the decision of the Court is, that it "only applies to full blooded Negroes, and does not affect mulattoes, quadroons and octooroons," thus giving this class of people full sway in respectable communities to go on with their nefarious and devilish practice, and the Negro man must not open his mouth. Since this is the case, now let all of the above class be recognized by the whites in every other way just as other white people. Don't draw the line when it comes to riding in public carriers nor eating in hotels. The court says further: "The Legislature in using the word 'Negro' in the act limited the violations to members of that race who have white concubines, and the concubines themselves." We are not a jurist, but we understand the above to mean, that Negro men who might cohabit with white women are eligible to the law, also white women who might have Negro men. As we see it, the white man is to have a walkover and the Negro man and the white woman are punishable by law. We do not believe this was the object of the framers of the law, and since the court has so construed the law not to mean the white man, we see no other than that the law should be so framed as to leave no doubt as to its meaning. We are looking to the respectable white people to pass a law that will apply to all living such a life. The law, as interpreted, does not help the Negro race one iota, because we need no law to prohibit Negro men from living with white women in the South. THE LELAND GIANTS, THE BLACK STARS OF THE BASEBALL FIRMAMENT OUTSHINE ALL COMPETITORS. Their Opening a Huge Success Best People in City There. Manager Niesen of the Gunthers Presents Pennant to Rube Foster. A GREAT GAME Secretary and Treasurer, Beauregard F. Moseley, Weil Pleased With the 4000 Fans That Greeted Him. Those in doubt about the popularity and ability of the 1910 line-up of the Leland Giants, had that doubt dispelled last Sunday, if they were at the Giants' new park, 69th and Halsted, when Secretary and Treasurer, B. F. Moseley presented the entire line-up, together with Manager Nlesen's team, the Gunthers to 4000 enthusiastic fans, comprising some of the best citizens in Chicago; long before the hour of opening the First Regiment K. of P. Band, under the leadership of Master A. T. Stewart dispensed sweet strains of music to the surging, active, polite concourse of people eagerly entering one of the swelliest and best equipped ball parks in the city, to witness what proved to be one of the best ball games played on any diamond in the city between The Negroes are pleading with the law-makers to enact some law to restrain white men from mixing up with Negro women, octaroons, mulatoes, and quadroons. If these people are to be classed with the Negroes in everything else, why separate them in this particular? We believe that the decision of the court will be a great benefit to us at last. The framers of the law can now see what is required, and as the Legislature meets next month, we hope this will be one of the first acts amended. We favor each race remaining on its side of the fence. We have had too much mixing by the white race already. This appears to be an age of separation, therefore, don't waste so much time, paper and ink talking and writing on why white people and Negroes should not sit on the same seat in a street or steam car, for fear of mixing, and find all kinds of technical points to declare such a righteous law, null and void, thereby defeating it of its aim.—The News-Enterprise, Shreveport, La., May 14, 1910. So it appears that after all the courts of Louisiana have construed the law for the benefit of white gentlemen and their Negro women and not for the the benefit of Colored men and white women, for it is a crime punishable with death for a Colored man to even look at a low white female strumpet, but white gentlemen in the South always have and will continue to consort with Colored women, unless they are shot to death by brave and manly Negro men, who should fear neither man, God nor the devil, in their work of separating white gentlemen from their Negro women.—Editor. the famous Gunthers and the home team. Every box was soon taken and seats in the grand stand and bleachers were at a premium when Secretary Moseley, in company with Manager Niesen, marched upon the field, followed by their respective teams and taken a position immediately in front of the grand stand and introduced the two teams and then Manager Niesen who, as a representative of last years City League, presented the pennant to Rube Foster, as the champions of the city, a march was then formed headed by the First Regiment K. of P. Band to the rear of the grounds, where the pennant, a beautiful flag in maroon, properly lettered "Leland Giants, City Champions" was hoisted and unfurled to the breeze amidst great applause and music. The march back to the front of the grand stand was very imposing, both teams marched abreast, led by the band and Secretary Moseley and Niesen, the former presented Mr. O'Brien, the official umpire, and the game was on, it was some game, the Gunthers scoring first, but after Wickware, the Lelanda sensation warmed up a bit the Lelands got busy, the results, score 5 to 1, in favor of the Giants. They play the Stars of Cuba tomorrow, with the great Mendes in the box, who promises to bring out a record breaking crowd. The Association is to be congratulated upon its splendid showing and its magnificent park, it is clean and accessible to the car lines and a credit to the race. CHICAGO, MAY 21, 1910.

A considerable part of the sickness which our people get, they catch on their summer vacations. If a man is used to drinking bad water it does not hurt him much if at all, but when a new man drinks it he gets typhoid or diarrhea or something else. Prolly no well less than one hundred feet deep located within a hundred miles of Lake Michigan is safe to drink from. Spring water seeps from the ground because somewhere, usually not far away it has seeped into the ground. In most instances it contained manure and seepage and sewage when it seeped in; and in about half the instances it contains these poisons where it seeps out. Most of the summer resort towns around Chicago take their drinking water from polluted lakes, or ponds or creeks or from Lake Michigan close in shore where the seepage often lies. What are you going to do about it. Don't go until you have first found out about the water, or if you have gone—drink nothing but boiled water. It may be that farm waters are the worst of all and should be inquired into most closely. Then how about the files? If files are bad then the kitchen must be dirty or the stable or the privy or some nearby premises. If there are many files it is not a safe place to stay. If there are mosquitoes you will be annoyed, but that is about all. If there are files you may be greatly harmed. How about the bathing? If the water is tolerably free from sewage go into the water every day. If there is much sewage emptying near the bathing place, keep out of the water. Vacations are good for people. People work better after them. It helps to keep the work from becoming a deadly grind. They give a chance to study flowers and birds, and people, and to get sunburned. But a vacation taken in a dirty place with polluted water and files and manure and without sanitation is bad. Let us be sensible, wise and forehanded with our vacations.

Beyer, a well-known Cleveland editor, told at a recent press banquet a newspaper story. "A Medina editor died," he said, "and was, of course, directed to ascend to the abode of the just. But during the ascent the editor's journalistic curiosity asserted itself, and he said: "Certainly,' was the gracious reply, and accordingly a descent to the other place was made. Here the editor found much to interest him. He scurried about and was soon lost to view. "His angelic escort got worried at last and began a systematic search for his charge. He found him at last seated before a furnace fanning himself and gazing at the people in the fire. On the door of the furnace was a plate saying, 'Delinquent Subscribers.'

North Dakota Man Says He "Might 'a' Heard" of Roosevelt, But He Isn't Certain—His Former Home Was in Indiana. Minoi, N. D., May 19.—John Brama, a 52-year-old farmer, born in southern Indiana, but living for the last seven years twenty-eight miles south of Minot, in the "bad lands," said today that he had never before heard of President Taft and that he "might a 'heard' of Roosevelt, but had long for gotten the name. Brama was the forty-eighth examined and the only one selected out of a special venire of fifty men for a jury to try Robert S. Noah, alleged murderer of a homesteader near Kenmore in 1908. "But," inquired Judge E. B. Goss, do you not get papers?" Brama explained that occasionally he was given a farm paper published at Fargo, by a neighboring farmer, and that his wife still "insisted" on getting a story paper for one of his children, of which he had four, the oldest aged 21. He did not know what the word "tarif" meant. The picture of aeroplanes he thought those of box kites and titered incredulously when told his fellow men had mastered the air. "Roosevelt, Roosevelt?" muttered Brama unfamiliarly. "It seems I've heard tell of the name, but I clean most forgot it. Soldier wasn't he?" "Your honor," said States' Attorney George A. McGee of Minot, "the attorney for the defense will not challenge the juror and I will not." "The juror is selected," said Judge Goss grimly. "Take a seat in the box, please. At any event, the juror knows nothing about the case," remarked the judge. "Your honor," said Attorney Dun- In Asset and Operation Company.

Brama said he left his farm in Indiana owned by his father in a prairie schooner ten years ago and farmed as a laborer near Watseka and Quincy, Ill., before coming to North Dakota and getting a homestead.

There is not a Negro in the wide world who is as ignorant as farmer Brama, and he is a white gentleman. —Editor GRAND MILITARY BALL AND DRESS PARADE BY THE 8TH REGIMENT ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARDS, MONDAY EVENING AT THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMORY.

Owing to the extreme cold weather, the Chateau Rink took care of the crowd last Saturday evening instead of the Garden. Some were skating and some were dancing and all were having a good time. They say that Halley's Comet has something to do with the weather. We hope that it will soon be settled as our crowds on Sunday evening are growing so large that the Rink is too small to accommodate the patrons and too cold for the Garden.

Sentence will be pronounced on May 26. Her counsel asked a week's delay that he might prepare a motion for a new trial. Result of Rockefeller Inquiry. The case, which took two days to present, was the first brought to trial under the indictments recently handed down by the Rockefeller grand jury, which has been investigating traffic in women. Four other indictments returned by the same grand jury are pending against Aleck Anderson, a Negro, and Harry Levenson, alleged to have been the Moore woman's accomplices, Levenson has turned state's evidence. Judge Crain had charged the jury that the only fact to be determined was whether money had been given Belle Moore for placing two girls in the custody of George A. Miller, a state agent, for immoral purposes. Law Guarde All Women Allike. . . It made no difference whether the women were chaste, or whether they had given their consent to an illegal bargain.

NOTED SINGER STIRS AUDIENCE Miss James' Recital Aids Wilberforce College Fund. Large and Fashionable Gathering of Washington's Critical Music Lovers Charmed as Gifted Mezzo Soprano Interprets "Printempa Qui Commence," From "Samson and Delilah." The recent recital given by Miss Marle C. James at Berean Baptist church, Washington, was a rare treat for lovers of classical music. The list of patrons numbered 129. Every seat in the spacious auditorium of the church was filled. The recital was given in the interest of the local Alumni association of Wilberforce university, which is endeavoring to assist the school in raising funds with which to erect a girls' dormitory at Wilberforce, O. The institution has been promised a conditional sum by Andrew Carnegie, and it is making strenuous efforts to raise its share in order to receive Mr. Carnegie's gift. It is a compliment to Miss James' popularity as a singer to note that every seat in the house had been sold before the day of the concert. Professor Moria, the noted composer and specialist in voice culture, characterized Miss James' singing as being of unusually good quality. Sidney Lloyd Wrightson, president of the Washington College of Music, says, "Miss James has an exceptionally beautiful mezzo soprano voice and a splendid conception of interpretation both in oratorio and individual songs." Perhaps there has never been in Washington a concert in which all the ( MISS MARIE C. JAMES. details were more perfectly arranged and probably never one in which the entire audience gave such absolute attention from the opening note till the last strains of the closing number. The artist's triumph was complete. Miss James' selections covered a wide field and dealt with every technical point for the higher culture of the voice. Among the numbers especially well received we may mention "The Four Leaf Clover," "When the Roses Bloom," "Florian Song," "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark." "Printemps Qui Commence," from "Samson and Delilah," sung in the original language, and the world famous "Adelaide," by Beethoven, which was sung by special request of one of the local musical organizations, the Treble Clef Musical society. Felix Weir, violinist; Miss Mary Europe, pianist, who is doubtless the best piano interpreter of Coleridge-Taylor in America, and Miss Abby Williams, an accompanist of rare discernment and technique, shared the honors with Miss James by reason of their splendid work. Miss James is the only Negro graduate of the Washington College of Music and deserves special credit for the manner in which she fought her way through this institution against many obstacles and embarrassments. The school is proud of her now. She has pursued advance work in the music schools of Boston, Chicago and New York and is master of the art and methods of musical instruction. She is one of the special music teachers in the public schools of Washington. As a mezzo soprano Miss James ranks with the leading singers of the day. She is in great demand by musical organizations both in and out of the city. While she has gained rare distinction as a musician, she has by no means reached the height of her ambition. Notable Event For Old Secret Order. At Unlontown, Pa., on Friday evening, June 24, the most worthy grand lodge of Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons will hold its ninety-fifth annual grand communication. This is the oldest grand lodge of Negro Masons in Durham County. PLEA FOR RE-ENLISTMENT. Question of Guilt of Discharged Soldiers Yet In Doubt. There is an old saying that nothing is permanently settled until it is settled right. If this be true, and we believe it is true, the Brownsville affair as it is now popularly (?) known is by no means settled. In the first place, we are not of the opinion that the discharge of the men of the Twenty-fifth infantry bore the imprint of legal procedure according to military law. Furthermore, we do not believe the evidence given at the long drawn out trial was sufficient to adjudge them guilty or prevent their reenlistment. Sentiment against the report of the so called court of inquiry is strong. Negroes are not the only persons who feel that a great injustice has been perpetrated against these soldiers, but there are white men of national repute who do not hesitate to make known their disapproval of the actions of the court. New phases of the situation are developing rapidly, the latest of which is to the effect that the fourteen men who were declared eligible for re-enlistment may do so and then purchase their discharge for sums ranging from $30 to $120 after a certain period of time. Under the law each of the fourteen men is entitled to back pay, which in this case would amount to about $1,000. Applications from six of the fourteen men for re-enlistment have already been filed. But the great question which is yet to be decided is why the full quota of soldiers should not be eligible for reenlistment since the court of inquiry did not find a true bill against them? N. BARNETT DOSSON EAGLE'S ADVICE RESENTED. The Negro Must Contend For Rights as Per Constitution. In an editorial previous to the meeting of the national Negro committee which held its second annual conference in New York from May 12 to 14 inclusive the Brooklyn Daily Eagle deplored the idea that politics should receive any consideration. It says this is the view which Dr. Booker T. Washington holds and further says that it is time enough for the Negro to look after his political rights. Time enough is right now. We have already been too lenient with those who are under oath to see that the law is administered to all citizens without regard to race, color or pre-vious condition of servitude. The Negro wants his full manhood rights under the constitution or nothing. This is no time for the race to halt in its contention for a square deal and equal opportunity as other men have. The Eagle's advice, to our way of thinking, is cowardly and sneaking. No such sentiment sets tamely upon the stomach of any Negro except he be of the bought up kind.

Like the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian associations, such institutions afford a sphere for social, moral and material uplift. An instance along this line which gives hope and encouragement is the recently organized Dunbar club of Cincinnati. The object of the club is to stimulate a greater desire on the part of young men for social, literary and business advancement. The clubhouse on Central avenue contains spacious rooms elegantly fitted up. It has a well stocked library of choice books, magazines and papers for the benefit of its members. A better place to spend a few leisure moments could hardly be found. Two and a half floors are devoted to the use of the club. Some of the leading citizens of Cincinnati have become members of the club and are actively engaged in making plans for the future usefulness of the organization. "Are you a 'Dunbar?' has become the usual and popular greeting among the more aggressive element of young folks. The club is governed by fifteen directors known as a board of governors. General Joseph L. Jones, nationally known as a leader in fraternal circles and as president of the Central Regalia company, a leading race enterprise, is the energetic and hustling chairman of the board of governors; Joseph Paghe of the mailing division of the postoffice, vice chairman; C. C. Webb, private secretary to W. Kesley Schoeph, traction magnate, corresponding secretary; H. L. Jordan, mall clerk of the Fifth National bank, financial secretary, and Cincinnati's premier detective, F. A. B. Hall, treasurer. First to Meet in New Temple. Past Grand Masters' council No. 22 has the distinction of being the first to hold a meeting in the new Odd Fellows' temple in Pittsburg. Walter P. Carter has been selected to represent the council at the coming biennial conclave of the grand council, which meets in Baltimore on Sunday, Sept. NEW FIELD FOR YOUNG EDUCATOR Professor T. R. Parker Accepts Call to College at Monrovia. LOSS TO MORGAN COLLEGE. Well Known Scholar Who Has Held Chair of Mathematics In Famous Baltimore Institution For Nine Years Resigns — Will Direct Educational Work of the M. E. Church in Liberia. The resignation of Professor Theophilus R. Parker, who has been connected with Morgan college, Baltimore, Md., for the past nine years as professor of mathematics, has created a stir in that institution. The distinguished educator has agreed to go to Liberia and has been offered PROFESSOR T. B. PARKER. a position in the College of West Africa, in Monrovia. This institution is under the management of the Methodist Episcopal church. A better man than Professor Parker for this particular field would be hard to find. He is a young man, full of ambition and eager to be used in the place where he can be of the greatest possible service to the race. Morgan college is proud of him. As a graduate of the school he has rendered valuable services as one of its faculty. After his graduation from Morgan college in 1897 with the degree of bachelor of arts Professor Parker took a postgraduate course at the University of Pennsylvania. He also pursued a special course of study at Columbia university, New York. He has the distinction of being the only Afro-American member of the Association of Mathematical Teachers for the middle Atlantic states. It is the consensus of opinion by those who know him best that Professor Parker will make an ideal principal for the direction of the educational work in his new field of labor in West Africa. It is fortunate, indeed, for the school to have a man at its head who embodies all the elements of the trained teacher of experience such as are found in Professor Parker. Morgan college will lose one of its ablest instructors. Professor Parker will be ably assisted in the work by his estimable wife, Mrs. E. Bernice Parker, who is an accomplished matron. They will sail for England on May 28, where they A. B. MRS. E. BERNICE PARKER. will spend a month visiting London and other important cities before continuing their journey. The work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Africa is receiving much attention just now. The continent is teeming with inhabitants, and the west coast is considered the key to the situation.

Littleton, a lawyer, is making an effort to substitute the Bible for bridge in society. Mme. Marie Kraus-Bolte has just celebrated at her home in New York her fiftieth anniversary in kindergarten work. She was a pupil of Frau Fahrenheit. Miss Marjory Snyder, a student at Wellesley college, has determined to earn her living from the soil. Immediately after her graduation she will buy a farm on Long Island, where she proposes to grow vegetables and breed valuable stock. Lady Marjorie Manners, eldest daughter of the Duke of Rutland, is a very clever society actress and has taken part in many recent charitable entertainments at the court. She paints, writes a little, goes racing, acts, sings and frequently finds time in between to play the Lady Bountiful. Mme. Falsey-Lanennier is the first woman to be appointed a mail carrier in France. Her route is in the little town of Chapelle-sur-Aveyron, and it is said that if she performs her duties satisfactorily other women will get similar places. Mme. Falsey-Lanennier makes her rounds on a bicycle supplied by the government. In addition to Rudyard Kipling's other accomplishments he is a first class gardener. Miss Fanny Crosby, the blind poet and hymn writer, has just celebrated her ninetieth birthday. Aside from her blindness, Miss Crosby is still in possession of all her faculties. Albert Bigelow Paine, himself a humorist of no small caliber, has been Mark Twain's Boswell for many years, doing for him what Traubel did for Whitman, recording every passing thought and comment and putting in shape the humorist's autobiography. At a recent meeting of the Society of Authors, London, Maurice Hewlett directed attention to the fact that Thomas Hardy, recently elected, was but the third president the society has had in its entire career. Mr. Hardy's predecessors were Tennyson and George Meredith. When making sweet croquettes add a little sugar to the crumbs in which the croquettes are to be rolled.

During the year of 1900 twenty-one new companies, with a capitalization of $4,000,000, began the manufacturing of automobiles in Detroit. Science Siftings. Venus is the brightest of all the stars and comes the nearest to us of all the planets. Only the moon is ever nearer the earth. The string of beads of light sometimes seen for several seconds after a flash of lightning is due to the incandescence of the air. The canal theory of Mars is opposed by the Swedish savant Arrhenius, who thinks the phenomena observed are huge clefts in the surface of the planet. Waves of Water. There is no tide in the Mediterranean sea. The 'Merrimac river is 183 miles long, including the Pemlgewasset. The highest of all navigable rivers is the Tangpo, which flows for nearly 1,000 miles at an elevation of from 11,000 to 14,000 feet. Three rivers as big as the Rhine would just about equal in volume the river Ganges, three Ganges the Mississippi and two Mississippi the Amazon. EQUALITY OF PRIVILEGE. Amalgamation Will Solve the Race Problem, Says Clarence Darrow. Speaking at the second annual conference of the national Negro committee, held at Cooper Union Thursday evening, May 12, Clarence S. Darrow, the well known Chicago lawyer, said that the real solution of the race question lay in race amalgamation. "This will be the ultimate answer to the question," declared the speaker. "It may be a long way in the future, but intermarriage between the races will finally settle all difficulties, as it has in the case of the Irish and Germans and other peoples who formerly had to be kept apart in order to preserve the peace. "The real barrier is not color. It is the fact that the Negroes were once slaves and that today they are in the ranks of labor. It is a labor question rather than a race problem, and the way for the Negro to obtain recognition is to cast his lot boldly with the poor and fight with them and for them. The cause of the poor is his cause, and his cause is theirs." The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel American M. E. church, said: "The Negro has been vitally affected in several ways by disfranchisement. He has been abandoned by the party he kept in power for a generation and given over to those who are seeking to reduce him to serfdom. His life is insecure. He may be set upon by mobs and put to death when accused or suspected of crime. If a white man is the aggressor the Negro is not protected in defending his person, his family or his property from assault, outrage or violence. "What kind of American citizen does the Negro intend to become? He intends to be so thoroughly identified with the country as to lose all consciousness of race. He will insist that, regardless of race or color, every American youth be free to tread the path of opportunity and to compete for the prizes of life upon terms of equality." RUSS ORGAN RECITAL TO BE HELD ANNUALLY. Grand Musical Event at Mother Zion Church Participated In by Many Brilliant Artists. The J. Wallace Russ organ recital given at Mother Zion church, New York, week ending May 14 was a grand success. Perhaps there has not been a larger number of organists of churches in Greater New York present on any one occasion than in this instance. Ten professional organists of long years of experience gave the benefit of their knowledge to the public by playing selections which ranged from the tune of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," to Beethoven's "Christus am Oelberg." Planists, vocalists and violinists vied with each other in the rendition of several rare productions. The recital was given for the benefit of the church. As it was so largely patronized and the hearty co-operation of the artists so pleasing it has been decided to make the affair an annual event which will be held in the month of May. The Rev. Dr. R. M. Bolden, pastor of the church, is well known for his aggressiveness in church and literary work. He expressed his highest approval of the decision of the management to hold such an event annually. Among the popular musicians on the program were Professor J. F. R. Wilson, Mrs. Viney Abbott, Mrs. Minnie Johnson, W. J. Bennettes, Robert H. Curl, Henry Carter, Mrs. Estelle Robinson, Miss C. W. Carle, Lorenzo Dyer, Mrs. R. M. Bolden, Junius Williams, Mrs. Sadie Jackson, Mrs. Eva Palmer, W. H. Briggs and Leon Adger. THE NEGRO'S BEST FRIEND. Southern Presacher Gives Legal Advice and Press For Jack Johnson. When the Negro finds a southern white man who is friendly toward him and legally unbiased as to the application of the law in his favor he has a friend indeed. The Rev. W. H. Bernagin, president of the Constitutional League of Oklahoma, is one of them. While in St. Paul, Minn., recently on legal business in connection with the campaign against the jimcrow laws of his state he is credited with having said: "If Jeffries defeats Jack Johnson he will have to do it over my prayers. Yas, suh," continued this good hearted southern divine, "I certainly do like to see a Negro succeed, and when he starts to succeed, why, I start in praying for him." The Rev. Mr. Bernagin accompanied four Afro-Americans who appeared in the case of E. P. McCabe against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad before the circuit court of appeals at St. Paul. Young People's Friendly Society. The latest organization for social, literary and religious uplift among the young people of Brooklyn is the Young People's Friendly society of the Silicon Presbyterian church. The society is nonsectarian. Any person of good moral character is eligible to membership. The literary and social meetings of the society will be held at the Liacoln Settlement House, 105 Fleet place. The officers are Mr. M. E. Phillips, president; Miss Rene Buchanan, ice president; Miss Ruby Lalamer, secretary, and Miss Lillian Cook treasurer. KELLY MILLER ON RACE LOYALTY The Negro Is Strong as a Unit, but Can Be Made Powerful as a Pack, Education, Industry, Economy and Political Enfranchisement Are Fruits of Race Loyalty and Faith In God. By N. BARNETT DODSON. "I do not know what the ultimate outcome of the race problem will be. I have prophesied concerning it several times, but my prophecy failed because I did not put it far enough off. But one thing I do know, and that is that truth and righteousness will triumph in the end." Thus spoke Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard university, Washington, before a representative audience in the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, May 12. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association. Previous to Professor Miller's lecture the following musical program was rendered: Anthem by the choir of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, led by Professor Philip A. Myers; baritone solo, William A. Ross; bass solo, H. J. Williams; violin obligato, Robert H. Curl; baritone solo, "Garden of Roses," John E. Berry. Professor Kelly Miller's subject was "Race Loyalty." The speaker, after giving a brief review of the causes which make the question of the Negro's citizenship a live issue before the American public, gave many rea- JOHN H. HARRIS PROFESSOR KELLY MILLER. sons why the race should take hope and encouragement from the progress which it has made. The question of equality, said the speaker, reduced itself to the success of individual effort. What can I do as well or better than any one else? What reason have I to be satisfied that I am the equal of my fellow man in physical prowess, mental caliber or moral stamina? The idea should be to surpass him if possible and thus become his benefactor. Do not get it into your heads that the Negro is the only race which pulls apart on many of the things by which he might benefit most. This is entirely the opposite. The difference between the Negro and the white man in this particular is this: The white man has his differences of opinion, but when it comes to putting them in action he first considers the cost and will abandon his views rather than fail in that which is for the benefit of the cause for which he labors. The Negro must learn this, and the sooner the better for all concerned. Pessimism is dangerous. Get out, said the distinguished educator, from under the juniper tree of doubt, gloom and complaining and do something. The race is strong as a unit, but it can be made powerful as a pack. Ten millions of people welded together by race loyalty, ambition, perseverance and common sense cannot forever be ostracized and discriminated against without retaliation. We are advancing. We are becoming more and more proficient in every avenue of life. Education, industry, economy and political enfranchisement are some of the fruits which must result from race loyalty, faith in God and confidence in ourselves. New England Baptist Convention. The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention will convene in the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, Thursday, June 2, at 2 p.m. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, says there will be over 400 delegates in attendance. There will also be a large delegation from the national Baptist convention from New York several of the ministers will sail for Europe, where they will attend the world's Baptist congress in Edinburgh.
