OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD, ED POST, WHILE ADDRESSING THE DELEGATES IN ATTENDANCE. IMPARTED SOME SOUND AND P THEY DID NOT LIKE TO HEAR Special Correspondent to The Broad Ax. New York City, August 22, 1910—The so-called National Negro business League has come, disgusted many decent New Yorkers, and gone, but the injury it has inflicted on the race will linger for many years. The objects of the League are many: 1. To glorify Bookef T. Washington. 2. To bring to public notice the boot-lickers who follow him. 3. To show to the country that the Negroes are satisfied with their condition and are willing to give up their civil and political rights provided their bellies are kept filled. 4. To spread abroad prejudice against the race so that Negroes in certain lines of business may profit thereby. Of course these objects are not announced in their literature, but those who have followed the course of the League since its inception, and noticed its tendencies are satisfied that the above is a correct outline of its origin. No organization in the country is doing more to injure the race than the National "Nigger" Business League. I use the word, "Nigger" advisedly, because many of its members are proud to be known as "Niggers" or "Darkeys." One Scott Bond of Arkansas made a speech, saying that he was proud to be known as a "Nigger." He did not say Negro, but "Nigger" and the writer heard him say it. The press agents employed by the League, and there were a number of them, at once got busy and had this statement wired over the country. There were other things said at the League which would have looked better in print, for there are some book-learned men among the members, but the managers were anxious to get the "Nigger" business to the front, so the wires were kept hot with stuff like that. It was figured out that Bond was worth $4,000,000, but Bond, ignorant Negro that he is, concluded that that was putting it too strong, and come out in a card, after Booker T. had sailed, saying that he was worth only $40,000. The Negro Business League is a fake. The president is not a business man, but the head of a school and a politician. The recording secretary is not a business man, but private secretary and politician. Not more than half of the officers and members of the executive committee are actually in business and the same is true of the membership. A Close Corporation. The National Negro Business League is a close corporation, the majority having no rights except to pay the annual dues. The committee on nomination of officers, names the persons selected by Booker Washington and the list is read and voted on and adopted, without any opportunity being given for other nominations to be made. However, that would probably not make much difference as there are few insurgents in the League and bold would be the one who would oppose Boss Booker's will. A Real "Nigger" Meeting. The League was a "Nigger" meeting from start to finish. Every day some Colored vaudeville ladies sang "coon" songs and one day Bert Williams got HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX off some of his funny business. Bert is all right but the business meeting is not the place for a stunt like that. At every session Major Moten of Hampton tried to have the audience sign the old southern cornfield tunes, but the people were so intractable that Moten was irritated and rebuked the audience for not joining heartily in the jubilee tunes. He seemed to regret that the Negro had advanced and would pull the race back to the slavery days, which he says were so beneficial to the Negro. The Attendance Exaggerated. The reports sent out by the League that there were 1,100 delegates in attendance is absolutely false. I saw C. F. Adams, the railroad ticket man, running around like a hen on a hot griddle, trying to get together too tickets so that the railroads would allow the reduced rates and then Booker would frown if he did not make good. He was very much worried, but finally gathered together a few more than the required number. Of course there were others who traveled on preachers and mileage tickets, but 200 is a liberal estimate of the number who actually came from a distance as delegates to the league meeting. The league people have a way of swelling the membership by purchasing badges at $2 each for friends at home and in the reports these are listed as delegates although they were not within hundreds of miles of the meeting. Many Lies Told. Negroes who were barely able to scrape together money enough to pay their fares to New York stood up and lied about the enormous fortunes they had made. There was of course some truth told, but the tendency was to exaggerate everything and to would be a safer divisor to use on nearly every bunch of figures given out. Washington's Speech Advance copies of what purported to be Booker Washington's annual address were sent out to the Colored newspapers, but the speech Mr. Washington delivered was very much different. It had evidently been revised after the advance copies had been mailed. The League was not wholly bad; there was one redeeming feature and that was the speech of Oswald Garrison Villard, a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison. If the leaguers had known what he would say it is not likely that he would have been invited to participate. Mr. Villard told the league people that well-filled bellies are not the only things to strive for. He said that he was astonished to find that the Negroes were not fighting to retain the rights they now have and seeking to regain the ones they have lost. He said that the manhood rights of the race ought to be placed above money making. He closed by saying that the work being done by the committee of which Mr. DuBois is secretary is more important than that of any other organization in the country. John E. Owens candidate for judge of the county court, continues to meet with encouragement among the voters in all parts of Cook County, and thousands of them are thoroughly convinced; that he possesses the legal training and all the other necessary qualifications to make a tie-top judge. CHICAGO, AUGUST 27, 1910. NORLE O. JURAH JR. NOBLE B. JUDAH JR. Lawyer, native born Chicagoan, good citizen, who will make an honest law-maker, and Republican candidate for the legislature, from the First Senatorial District. Noble B. Judah Jr., Republican candidate for member of the legislature of Illinois from the first senatorial district, comprising the first and second wards, needs no introduction to the many thousand readers, of The Broad Ax, for he is to the manner born, as he came into this grand old world in the old second ward, well on to 20 years ago and from his boyhood down to the present time, except while away attending school, he has resided in the second ward, at 2701 Prairie avenue, and it can be truthfully said that no one knows the wants and needs of the people residing in the first senatorial district better than he, for he is one of them from top to bottom. and after rounding out his classical education there, he became a very promising law student, at the Northwestern University Law School, and since his graduation from it with the usual high honors and his admission to the bar, it has become a member of the big law firm of Judah, Willard, Wolf, and Reichman, 206 La Salle street which honored father Noble B. Judah, stand at its head and imparts wisdom unto a who seek it. Possessing broad and liberal view along religious lines and other important subjects or questions of the day and representing the highest type of young American manhood, Mr. Judah has for sometime been the superintendent. His early training along educational lines was received at the old Douglas school, where the sons and the daughters of many of the most prominent as well as the humblest citizens both white and Colored, on the South side, first laid the foundation for their education, in the course of time Mr. Judah attended the Chicago Manual Training school, and after finishing up his studies there, he entered that great educational institution, the Brown University, Providence Rhode, Island, from which he graduated with high honors COL. CARY B. LEWIS BRINGS ONE DEAD MAN TO LIFE AGAIN. Col. Cary B. Lewis, the regular staff correspondent in this city for a weekly newspaper, published at Indianapolis. Ind., is proving himself to be the brightest newspaper writer in this country. His contributions to that paper last week contained a full account of the departure of the Eighth Regiment for its encampment at Peoria, Ill., and after relating the fact that "he would be the special highly honored guest of the Regiment. he went on to relate in mentioning the officers of the Regiment, that "Harvey A. Thompson, is still its adjutant-general, that he is a native of Ohio, that he is a graduate of the public schools of Columbus, and attended Fisk University and received his literary education at this institution and La Moyne College. Since his stay in Chicago he has been identified with all movements for the good of the race and is highly connected politically. He is one of the most valuable adjuncts to the Eighth Regiment, being a splendid bookkeeper and a man of broad business affairs." And as Harvey A. Thompson, folded his arms in death in New York City, two or three years ago, and up to that time he had not resided in Chicago since 1901, nor visited it for one hour, since that time. and after rounding out his classical education there, he became a very promising law student, at the Northwestern University Law School, and since his graduation from it with the usual high honors and his admission to the bar, he has become a member of the big law firm of Judah, Willard, Wolf, and Reichman, 206 La Salle street which his honored father Noble B. Judah, stands at its head and imparts wisdom unto all who seek it. Possessing broad and liberal views along religious lines and other important subjects or questions of the day, and representing the highest type of young American manhood, Mr. Judah has for sometime been the superintendent of the Sunday school at St. Paul's Universalist church, 30th and Prairie avenue, and like his noble father, he has ever been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans, and his sympathies have always gone out to those who are earnestly striving to climb upward and orward, and the decent element among the Afro-Americans residing in the first and second wards, will at the primaries September 15 and at the election in November record their votes in favor, of Noble B. Judah, Jr., for one of the members of the legislature of Illinois. Therefore it would seem that Col. Lewis is capable of bringing one dead man to life again: SIX NEGRO PRIESTS EDUCATED IN AMERICA Rev. Stephen Theobald, who graduated from St. Paul's seminary this Summer, and was ordained a priest, is the youngest of six Negro Roman Catholic priests that have been educated in this country. The first was Rev. Augustin Tolton. He was a native of Illinois, came of slave parents, was ordained in the Propaganda, Rome, in 1888, and became pastor of St. Monica's Church, Chicago, where he died some years ago. The other priests are: Rev. Charles R. Uncles, who was the second to be ordained. He was born in Baltimore, was ordained in the cathedral, that city, in 1891, by Cardinal Gibbons, and is a professor in Epiphany Apostolic college, Walbrook. Baltimore. Rev. John H. Dorsey was the third. He was born in Baltimore, ordained in the cathedral there by Cardinal Gibbons, and is now attached to St. Joseph's college for Negro catechists, Montgomery, Ala. Father Dorsey was followed by Rev. Joseph Flattenburg. Father Plantevigne is a native of Louisiana. He is assistant pastor of the church of St. Francis Xavier- Interesting Meeting of the State Federation of Colored Womens Clubs At Peoria, Illinois. Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis Elected President For the Coming Year. Several Prominent White Ladie's Attended It's Sessions and Addressed the Gathering. The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which convened at Peoria, Ill. Aug. 17, 18, 19 and 20 held the most interesting meeting since its organization to years ago. The large assemblage of delegates from all over this state and the discussions of live questions effecting the welfare of the race and the community at large, give evidence that our club women are wide awake and doing a great work. The great interest manifested in these great problems and the capable women representing the different phases of our civic life bespeaks the future success of this organization. The election of officers was the most peaceful and speedy ever held by a state body. It took just 45 minutes to elect the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, unanimously elected president; 1 vice-pres. Mrs. Ella Stanford, Peoria, Ill.; 2 vice-pres. Mrs. Anna Anderson, Decoye, Ill.; 3rd vice-pres. Mrs. Sarah Allen, Galesburg, Ill.; 4th, Mrs. Ella Syms, Monmouth; 5th, Mrs. Anna Gillis, Alton, Ill.; Recording Sec.'s. Baltimore, which is for the exclusive use of Negroes. The fifth Colored priest is Rev. Joseph A. Burgess, C. S. Sp. Father Burgess was born in Washington, (D. C. He is a member of the faculty of the Holy Ghost Apostolic college, Cornwells, Pa. Father Theobald, the youngest of the six Negro priests, was born in British Gulana, and is about 35 years old. He was educated in the Cathedral common school, Georgetown, St. ,Stanislaus college, Cambridge, Eng., university, and Queen's college British Gulana. He also studied law but only practiced a short time. He then turned to journalism, becoming attached to the editorial staff of the Montreal Daily Star. In December 1905, he entered St. Paul's seminary, St. Paul, under the patronage of Archbishop Ireland.—Ex NATIONAL FORESTS AS NATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS. Washington, D. C., August 25. Before the year's outing season is over nearly half a million persons will have sought recreation and health in the National Forests of the United States. According to the record of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the total last year was, in close figures, 406,775. With the finest mountain scenery and much of the best fishing and big-game hunting in the United States, the National Forests, made more and more accessible each year through protection and development by the Government, are fast becoming great National playgrounds for the people. The use of the Forests for recreation is as yet in its beginning, but is growing steadily and rapidly—in some of the Forests at the rate of a hundred per cent per annum. The day seems not far distant when a million persons will annually visit them. The records show that the seasonal use of the Forests runs from two months in a Colorado Forest, such as the Routt, to twelve months in an Alaskan, such as the Tongass. But the uses differ. In Colorado the 2,000 visitors entered the Forest to fish; to camp, to climb, and to drink the medicinal waters; in Alaska the 1,000 almost solely to hunt and fish. The 21,000 persons who went into the Coconino Forest, Arizona, during nine months, went to camp or to enjoy the scenery. During four months 50,000 persons visited the Angeles, Califor- Meeting the Federation of Womens Clubs Ebeth Lindsay Davis Elected. The Coming Year. Jie's Attended It's Sessions and the Gathering.

Several prominent white women representing their clubs and the Juvenile court work of Peoria were present and addressed the meeting. The next convention will be held in Monmouth, Ill., in 1911. nia. The most popular of the Forests is the Pike, containing the famous peak of that name. The various attractions within its limits, including the scenic railway, drew 100,000 tourists and others. By principal States the National Forest visitors numbered 23,000 in Arizona, 103,000 in California, 140,000 in Colorado, 19,000 in Montana, 10,000 in New Mexico 33,000 in Oregon, 22,000 in Idaho, 16,000 in Utah, and 12,000 in Washington. Of the natural wonders and landmarks of interest in the National Forests several have been set apart as National Monuments, among them Cinder Cone, a great basin in California; the Gila Cliff Dwellings, extensive remains of a prehistoric race in New Mexico; the unsurpassed Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in Ariz.; Jewel Cave, South Dakota; Lassen Peak, the terminus of a long line of extinct volcanoes in the Cascades; the Pinnacles, a collection of remarkable jagged peaks in California; and the Tonto, a group of prehistoric ruins in the Tonto Forest in Arizona. The Big Trees, Glacier Park, the Petrified Forest, the Oregon Caves, and numerous other phenomena serve to attract other hosts of visitors. The sportsman finds his paradise in the National Forests. In many of them big game abounds. The rangers and the guards, besides the service they perform against the spread of fire, often point out the best site for the campea and the easiest route. A record of 9,218 miles of trail out, 1,236 miles of road laid out, and 4,851 miles of telephone line strung tells what the Government has done in the way of pushing the conveniences of civilization into the primeval forest. The day of the wilderness of the savage and the pioneer is swiftly passing; the day of the National Forests as productive resources and as National park approaches. The report of last year's administration by the U. S. Department of Agriculture evidences the rapidity of the transformation. Attorney Harry P. Dolan, with offices in the First National Bank Building; who has the strong backing of Alderman John S. Clark of the 35th ward, in his race for Judge of the Municipal Court; will make things hum from now until primary day, September 15, and the voters will be benefiting themselves, by assisting Mr. Dolan, to come across, and enable him to serve as one of the municipal judges.

The baby must have clean pure milk if it is to live and grow up strong and vigorous. But along with good milk, babies must have plenty of air and exercise. Babies do not develop and get strong when they are kept in cribs and baby carriages all the time. Many mothers are so afraid that their babies will get hurt when they are trying to learn to walk, that they will not let them tumble around or use their little legs at this Is wrong. Exercise is as important a factor in aiding the baby's growth and digestion as is the food it eats. A baby that is cuddled and coddled all the time either in its crib or carriage or in the nurse's lap will generally not be able to digest its food, although it may be of the proper kind and best in quality. But give the same baby plenty of out-door air and exercise, it will have good digestion and will grow and thrive as a baby should. As a matter of fact air and exercise are fully half the battle in keeping the baby well. On this subject a noted physician says that parents should not be content with simply keeping the baby alive. We want not only live babies, but we want them healthy and well-developed physically. When a baby is able to walk and is in the second year, exercise is a most important aid to good digestion, and this of course, means proper development of the body. "At eighteen months of age, exercise," says the same physician, "is especially valuable." And if an infant of this age is allowed to play on the grass in the open air, in the shade if the weather is hot, it will eat and digest food that would kill it if kept heavily clothed, strapped in a go-cart and wheeled about the streets A plot of grass with a quilt spread down, is a fine place the baby to roll and kick about on; of course being careful to protect it from the direct rays of the sun. And this all means that right food, right feeding, with good air and exercise, will keep the baby well.

The services of the Negro legislators of Ohio and Illinois in their antitynching legislation, which so rigidly stopped lynch laws in Illinois, and is now making an Ohio county pay $5,000 to the family of its victim, are securing widespread approbation. The Literary Digest of July 30, in commenting upon the recent lynching at Newark, Ohio, and quoting from the West Virginia Advocate, a Negro journal, says: "And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race which has suffered most from mob violence." The Negro legislator in Ohio and Illinois if he had done nothing more than to secure these acts which provide the best cure yet found for the ill that disgraces the nation has greatly justified his election.—From The New York Age, August 18, 1910. As it has been stated numerous "That a white sheriff should be removed from office for failure to protect a white prisoner from mob violence and that the county should be compelled to pay a substantial sum of money to the heirs of the man lynched, that all this should have to be done in compliance with statutes written by Negroes is strange, passing strange, but none the less true. "It was more than a coincidence, it was really the irony of fate that Harry C. Smith. Negro editor of the Cleveland Gazette, fathered in the Ohio Legislature the law requiring counties to pay the heirs of persons lynched $5,000. This law was afterward successfully engineered through the Illinois Legislature by the Negro member, Edward D. Green. Then Smith's successor, H. T. Eubanks, another Negro from Cleveland borrowed from Illinois the law, introduced by a Negro member, providing for the removal of a sheriff in whose county a luncheon occurred. Mrs. Monroe L. Manning gave a formal reception in honor of her daughter Miss Edna Beatrice and Miss Evelyn V. Carter of Washington, D.

Miss Minnie Butler of San Antonio, Texas who has lately visited this city is attending the Business League in N. Y. City. She expects to return to Chicago this week. The visitors who attended the Swastika Club's "July Afternoon at Home," reported a delightful afternoon spent. They are anxious to know when the club will give another. At Home. A VERY SWELL AFFAIR. CHIPS "And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race, which has suffered most from mob violence." The Negro legislator in Ohio and Illinois if he had done nothing more than to secure these acts which provide the best cure yet found for the ill that disgraces the nation has greatly justified his election—From The New York Age, August 18, 1910. As it has been stated numerous times before, in these columns that Edward D. Green, aside from Maj. John C. Buckner, accomplished more, while he was a member of the legislature of Illinois, in the way of having wholesome legislation enacted and placed on its statute books, than all of the other Colored memebrs of that body combined. His anti-lynching law and mob bill, will in time be adopted, by many of the most progressive states in the union, for it is the most effective way to stop the onward march of riots, mob and lynch law, and lawlessness in general, and as the old saying goes, Mr. Green, builted wiser than he knew, when he quietly and skillfully engineered his measures, through the legislature of this state and as there is more legislation needed along similar lines, it would be well indeed for the voters residing in the first legislative district, to see to it that he is again elected to the legislature of Illinois, at the November election. Miss Crittenden, a teacher in the public schools of Memphis, Tenn., is visiting at 3714 Wabash ave. Mrs. Wm.

England's Navy. The "father of the British navy" was Henry VII. It was in 1488 that Henry built the Royal Harry, considered to be the beginning of the English navy. His own subjects were deplorably ignorant of the art of shipbuilding, and he imported Genoese workmen to instruct them. The Royal Harry was the first real English warship ever built, and it remained the model ship for more than fifty years.

Johnson, whose death occurred recently in Philadelphia, was editor of the Christian Recorder for seventeen years. His death was due to a complication of diseases which had been slowly sapping out his life for two years. Dr. Johnson was a native of South Carolina, where he was born fifty-three years ago. He was educated in the public schools, the State Normal school at Columbia, S. C.; the South Carolina university. Howard university at Washington and Lincoln university, Pennsylvania. He devoted himself to education and became the president of Slater college, where he remained until he became the editor of the Christian Recorder in 1892, succeeding Bishop B. F. Lee, who was elected bishop at that time. He was perhaps the youngest of any editor that the Recorder has had, but he was at the same time one of the best trained and experienced, which only added to his power. His editorials and his frank, independent policy made for him many friends. Impressive funeral services were held over the remains of Dr. Johnson at Mother Bethel A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, Bishop Wesley J. Gaines presiding. The sermon was preached by the venerable Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta, Ga., who two years ago entered into a compact with Dr. Johnson that the one who survived the other should preach the funeral sermon for the deceased. Others who took part in the services were Bishop W. H. Heard, Rev. I. N. Ross of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Washington; Rev. H. K. Spearman of the Macedonia A. M. E. Church. Camden, of which the deceased was a member; Bishop J. S. Caldwell of the REV. DR. H. T. JOHNSON. A. M. E. Zion church and Rev. N. B. P. Hood of the New Jersey conference. Bishop Tanner says of the deceased: "He was pre-eminently a man of the brain and of the heart. No reader writer did the church possess and no cleverer poet. Wake him up when you would and his pen was ready, and not his pen only, but his sword. "There was not a cewardy drop of blood is his vein, made so by God himself. Some men fill their mission in the field of submission; others if not in the field of blood, in the field that leads thereto. Of this last was Henry Theodore Johnston.

Griggs, Professor William Green, Hon. Lewis H. Dawley, Mrs. H. C. Parson, Dr. J. B. Brown and Editor J. G. McPherson. Town Topics. Baltimore has no right to poke fun at New York's horse cars so long as it keeps on spending money repairing cobblestone pavements—New York Tribune. The real swell set in New York evidently considers the advantage of showing off its clothes. They now have taxicabs luxuriously lined and with plate glass slides and back, so that the lady dressed for the opera can make a moving picture show of the latest Paris fashions as she goes along the street—Watertown Times. Household Hints. If you get a scratch on your hardwood furniture, rub it with salt butter. Put a few drops of ammonia on a piece of bread and rub over your gilt frames. They will look like new. Do not put milk in cut glass tumblers. Milk clouds glass so that its original brilliancy cannot be restored. A soft rag moistened with lemon juice and then dipped in silver whiting will be found excellent for cleaning piano keys. Recent Inventions. By pressing a button behind the counter a new electrical thief catcher for stores locks all doors and rings a bell in the street. To prevent the theft of an automobile a lock has been patented which inserted in a gear shifting quadrant, prevents the lever being moved. A double frying pan, blinked in the center, has been patented by an Iowa man so that two articles can be cooked at once and to save space by folding it when not in use. MASONS MAKE GOOD SHOWING Large Sums Paid to Widows and Other Beneficiaries Yearly. ADEQUATE ENDOWMENT FUND Interesting Reports of What the Grand Lodge Has Accomplished Under the Able Leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton Binford—Sketch of His Career and Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON The annual meeting of the Masonic grand lodge of Alabama, which was held at Montgomery during the week ending Aug. 20, was largely attended. The reports showed great gains in both membership and finance during the year. At Birmingham in February of this year Endowment Secretary-Treasurer C. W. Allen said that the books of the grand officers showed receipts amounting to $42,506.03. Of this sum $28,153.90 went to the beneficiaries of deceased members and for other expenses incurred by the order. This left a cash balance of $14,352.73. The report of the widows and orphans' endowment department for the year ending June 24, 1909, showed receipts with a balance of $62,273.71. Of this sum $58,300 was paid to widows and orphans, leaving a balance, after taking out current expenses, of $2,482.56. There is much rejoicing over the phenomenal success of the order under the leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton Binford, whose interest in the P. H. HENRY CLAXTON BINFORD. order never lags. A sketch of his career and achievements at this time seems most appropriate. Henry Claxton Binford was born in Madison county, near Huntsville, Ala., in 1851. He received his early education at Rust Normal institute, Huntsville, which was established by northern philanthropists. He is noted for his frankness, generosity and manliness. These traits of character have won for him a host of friends, who lavish upon him their confidence and esteem. Grand Master Binford has had a busy life since the day he left school. His first educational work was that of public schoolteacher at Bleetcher's Ford. Madison county, Ala. He also taught at Courtland and for many years in the city schools of Huntsville. Settling down early in life by his marriage May 1, 1873, to Miss Frances Ann Hendley. Mr. Binford reared and educated a family of four children—Henry Connard, now principal of the Huntsville city schools; Pearl Amanda, now of the city school faculty; Charles King, a music professor, and John Allen, his private secretary He had a distinguished career in politics. He served for many years as secretary of the Madison county (Ala.) executive committee and afterward as its chairman. He was elected a member of the Huntsville city council in 1901, which position he creditably filled for four years. He was for many years a trusted employee as storekeeper and gauger under the lamented Collector James T. Rapier and for four years—1890-4—a clerk in the United States land office at Huntsville, where he rendered efficient service. As a Mason his career dates from his initiation into Evening Star lodge, No. 6, in 1874, of which lodge he has ever since been a member. He served Evening Star lodge for years as worshipful master and afterward as secretary until succeeded in the latter position by his son, John Allen. The grand lodge of Alabama in 1894 elected him grand secretary, which position he continued to fill until June, 1901, when, in consequence of the death of the late Grand Master Reuben R. Mims, he succeeded to that office. Since then he has been continuously re-elected without opposition. Besides the endowment department, now disbursing to widows and orphans $60,000 a year under his supervision, Grand Master Binford takes delight and special pride in the fifty dollar scholarship, established under his administration, for children of deceased master Maeana. MOB VIOLENCE DENOUNCED. Colored Citizens of Washington Advise National Movement For Protection. Recent tynchings in Florida, Texas and in other states of the Union was the subject discussed at a largely attended mass meeting of the colored citizens of Washington, held on Tuesday evening, Aug. 9. All of the speakers were emphatic in their protest against mob violence and the inactivity of the federal authorities in relation thereto. H. A. Clarke in the course of an extended address said: "The south again has made herself conspicuous by the recent tynching of innocent and defenseless Negroes. In violation of the laws of God and man she has been the principal in three of the epochs in world's history—namely, the epoch of slavery and rebellion, the period of Kukuxism and ballot box stuffing and the era of tynching, disfranchisement and timcrowism." The Rev. F. N. Ross, who dwelt at length on the recent horrible lynching at Palestine, Tex., said: "God wants the Negroes to get together and take care of themselves. There are 100,000 Negroes in Washington, and they are told by the white people to run to God with everything." "They are taught to be afraid of themselves. They won't strike out for themselves. If the supreme court of the United States had put down race rioting and bent its efforts to stopping mob violence this Texas slaughter would never have occurred." Other speakers exhorted the race throughout the south as the most effective weapon to join in a national movement for personal protection. The sentiment was approved in the form of resolutions. NEGRO'S LOYALTY PRAISED. By Northern White Woman Who Rejoiced Over Johnson's Victory. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Press a white woman of Harrisburg, who signed her name "A Mother," referring to the Johnson-Jeffries fight, says: I was taken to task for rejoicing over the colored man's victory. I remember that the colored people were stolen by the Dutch, brought here and sold into slavery to make money. The Bible tells us that the land overshadowed by wings; the Ethiopian snail that possesses it, and this is the beginning of the end, a foretaste of what is coming. For myself, I am not afraid of the colored race. They are a peculiarly loving, loyal friend to all who befriend them (like a faithful horse or dog) and are our best friends when treated rightly. This is the faith that牵引 the third and fourth generations, likewise the virtues. My ancestors were always good to the colored people, and, like "the blood on the doorpost," we will be spared when that fearful day comes. The colored race was the first man to offer education to them. He said "the colored people have souls as well as we white" and built a schoolhouse on his plantation and sent north for a minister's daughter to teach them. caused so much trouble with his neighboring planters that he set all of his slaves free and moved to Ohio. Several of the "faithful" followed him and his brother and sister into that new country. It is time and since wasted to discuss the miserable powerful folk with creatures who try to loss to "civilized men" of the present generation, but we hope to improve the rising one to better citizens and statesmen. We have learned to our sorrow the folly of trying to depend on the men in power to do the work, and now time for action against the lowering demoralizing influences of the rabble. AMERICAN MANHOOD THE STANDARD OF FREEDOM. Enfranchisement of Women Would Lessen Crime Against the Negro. So we are to have a few more "grandfather clauses," observes the Pittsburg Courier, this time of the western type. Soon we'll have the suffragists "grandmother clause." We always have loved our grandmamma's way of doing things. She had a virtue for honesty. "I was the old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The enfranchisement of women will minimize the crimes of injustice committed against the Negro. Because the same power of influence attained by her from birth, education and Christion religion would place woman so high above her less fortunate sisters that she would not c倔enance, neither would she conspire, to rob men of their citizenship, especially when that citizenship went for American manhood, the standard of freedom guaranteed under the constitution of a Christian country. Liberal Aid For Dickson Orphanage. In donating the sum of $47.50 to the Dickson Colored orphanage at Fort Worth, Tex., at its recent meeting in that town the Masonic grand lodge of Texas set a good example. The orphanage was also the recipient of $91, which was given by the Taborian grand lodge at its meeting at Fort Worth on July 25. By the liberal contributions of these two grand bodies the managers of the orphanage have been greatly helped in meeting the financial obligations of the institution. Negro Fair and Farmers' Congress. The promoters of the central Texas Negro fair and farmers' congress are jubilant over the success which attended the three days' meeting of the organization, which closed at Marlin Tex. on Saturday, Aug 13. The fair was largely attended by persons from almost all sections of the state. The reports and exhibits gave evidence of the wonderful progress which our people are making in the Long Star State.
