Harrison, for the fifth time will assume the duties of Mayor of Chicago, thus he is following close in the footsteps of his still much beloved father, who was elevated five times to the mayor's chair by his fellow citizens. The newly elected mayor, will be escorted to the new city hall, with great pomp and circumstance of glorious political warfare, the Cook County marching club, each and every member dressed in the height of fashion, sporting a brand new silk tile, carrying their rolled umbrellas as side arms, under the leadership of Grand Marshal, Miles J. Devine, will occupy the place of honor in the parade. Many members of the other political organizations, among the various nationalities, including the Colored members of the Carter H. Harrison, campaign committee will be in evidence in the line of march and otherwise assist to do him honor from his home 607 Rush street, to the city hall. It will be a great evening for the unwashed and the unterrified sons of Democracy and with them and everybody else out in full force, standing room will be worth its weight in gold in and around the city hall, on Monday evening. At the meeting of the County Democracy last Sunday afternoon, ex-City Attorney Miles J. Devine, in a ood of eloquence, in the presence of three or four hundred of its members, started the boom of "Our Carter," for president of the Unite States in 1912, he declared that "inasmuch as the fifth time mayor, was fully capable of governing this city wisely in all things; that he could govern this might nation just as wisely and as easily," and so on, and to say the least there is a great deal of truth in the statements of Mr. Devine, in this respect, for right at this present time there are thousands of people who honestly believe that Carter H. Harrison of Illinois and Governor Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts, would make an ideal team to make the race for president and vice-president of the United States next year. The judicial primaries Tuesday, April 11th, developed many surprises for the politicians, it turned out that Judges Marcus Kavanagh and W. H. McSurely had no trouble on their hands in sweeping by the primaries and the following are the Republican and Democrats who came in under the wire on last Tuesday and will make the race for Judges of the Superior and Circuit court, at the judicial election next November. Republican candidates for the Superior court, Marcus Kavanagh, W. H. McSurely, Albert C. Barnes, Henry Democratic candidates for the Superior court, John J. Coburn, Walter T. Stanton, Joseph H. Fitch, Daniel L. Cruice, for the Circuit court John P. McGoorty. Thus it will be seen that John P. McGoorty and Thomas Taylor, Jr., are pitted against each other in the race for Judge of the Circuit court and as they are both able lawyers popular and honorable citizens it is hard to tell what the result will be at the polls in November. All the Jewish-American candidates for judicial honors for some cause or other were turned down cold at the primaries. There were several gentlemen of this nationality who stand very high in the legal profession and the voters would have been honoring themselves if they would have selected at least one of the Jewish-American lawyers to make the race for either Judge of the Circuit or the Superior court. UNITED STATES.SENATOR O'GOR MAN OF NEW YORK STATE IS FREE FROM RACE PRE- The legislature of New York recently, after a long and bitter fight, elected Justice James A. O'Gorman of the Supreme Court of that state, United States Senator. It will be recalled that some years ago, Mr. Platt, a white millionaire, made love to Hannah Ellias, a Colored lady who is said to be very beautiful, and while making love to her, Mr. Platt gave her almost one million dollars in money and real estate, and she loved him real hard for it. Just before the death of Mr. Platt he and his relatives made a desperate effort to regain possession of all of the property and some of the money which he had recklessly blown in on Mrs. Ellias. Several times they succeeded in buying up the lawyers which she had engaged to fight her side of the case in the courts. Finally the case came up before Justice O'Gorman, of the highest branch of the Supreme Court of the Empire state, and the lawyers for Mr. Platt made long arguments based on the color of the woman in the case and endeavored to arouse race prejudice in the bosom of Justice O'Gorman. This they failed to do and he promptly rebuked the white lawyers for their rash conduct, thereby dismissing the case and permitting Mrs. Ellias to retain all the money and property which is located in the heart of New York City, which she received from Mr. Platt. Justice O'Gorman is a clean-cut Irish-American and he could never CHICAGO, APRIL 15, 1911. W. F. Former Alderman of the 21st Ward, who as chairman of the city hall committee, ably looked after all of the detail work in connection with the construction of the new city edifice, who has been appointed private secretary to Franklin MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury and in a very short time, Mr. Taylor who carries the good wishes of his many friends in this city with him, will begin his labors in Washington. D. C. be frightened by public clamor. It required real Irish nerve to do what he did on that occasion. But it was done, nevertheless, and it is safe to say, that being a lover of justice, liberty and fair play, that he will never record his vote in the United States Senate in favor of curtailing the civil and political rights of any American citizen. FOUR NEW BUILDINGS FOR A NEGRO SCHOOL. Corner Stone of Kowaliga, Ala., Structures Will Be Laid Easter Sunday. IS UNIQUE INSTITUTION. Students Are Educated in Trades Exclusively — Community Numbers 1,000 Persons. Montgomery, Ala., April 10.—On tomorrow, Easter Sunday, the corner stones of four new buildings at the Kowaliga School in Elmore County, Alabama, will be laid, and within a few weeks the buildings will be ready for occupancy, dedicated to the use of a Negro community. Kowaliga School is a unique institution. It differs from most other Negro schools in that it is largely supported by the thrift and intelligence of the Negroes themselves. It was founded by John Benson forty years ago on the plantation where he had formerly worked as a slave. It represents the ideas of a shrewd and far-seeing Negro who believed that self-reliance and industry were better for the freedmen of the South than any amount of outside help. Produces Skilled Workmen. Kowaliga differs from other Negro schools, too, in that it does not seek to train highly educated academic or industrial leaders of the race. Its aim is to produce skilled artisans and successful farmers, to enable the members of Kowaliga community to make the most of the opportunities afforded in that immediate district. In addition to a grammar school education the pupils are taught manual training, agriculture, poultry raising, dairying, laundering, domestic science, etc. Incidentally, everything possible is done to improve the character of the residents and to make them law-abiding and useful citizens. In the main and branch schools twelve teachers are now employed and the enrollment is usually about 300. Benston Started Community. This Colored community, which is doing so useful a work in the South, grew out of a careful study of the needs of his fellow freedmen undertaken by John Benson. He took over 160 acres of land and began the raising of cotton. His success attracted other Negro families to Kowaliga and ultimately a community was established which now numbers about 1,000 people and occupies a tract of land nine miles long and six miles wide. Benson saw that the cotton industry did not require all of the planter's time. From June or July, when the cotton crop was "laid by," until the autumn, when it was picked, the community had much idle time on its hands. He suggested that this idle time be utilized, and with the aid of friends in the North he established many industries. The manufacture of turpentine was begun by a new process which did not impair the lumber value of the trees tapped. Saw mills were built and the members of the community were encouraged to utilize their idle time in the mills. Son Is Now Director. William E. Benson, son of the founder of the community, is now its head. He has held steadily to his father's ideas of training skilled workmen rather than men of a higher academic cast. "I believe that similar enterprises, if properly financed would meet with success all over the South, and that in the course of time they would have aid from the North," he said. "It is unofftunate that we should have to seek assistance from northern friends with such regularity, but it must be remembered that state aid is extended to Negro schools only in a limited measure." The new structures, now being erected, are a girls' dormitory, a boys' dormitory, a manual training scoop and a domestic science buildings. They are not yet equipped. It will take about $25 to equip each dormitory room. "It would seem that after reading the above account of this industrial school, that there are other industrial schools in the South for Colored people, aside from Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee, Alabama. Easter services at Bethesda Baptist church, 3823 Wabash avenue, promises to be very interesting both morning and evening on Sunday, April 16th. Mr. F. B. Williams, Dr. W. H. Marshall and Miss Aida May Steaveron; will sing special solos in the morning and Mr. M. V.

Mrs. Elizabeth Williams organist. The choir and musical program will be under the direction of Mrs. Martha B. Anderson. Clergymen and Laymen Endorse Tuberculosis Day Champ Clark, Dr. Cadman, Bishop Scarborough and Others Approve of the Movement. Statements of opinion approving Tuberculosis Day, which will be observed on or about April 30th, from prominent clerical, medical and lay authorities were issued today in the form of a bulletin by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Among those who have endorsed the movement are His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons and several Roman Catholic bishops, many prominent bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, several denominational and interdenominational societies, Doctors S. Adolphus Knopf and Lawrence F. Flick, Hon. Champ Clark, many prominent clergymen and others. Champ Clark in a letter to the National Association, says: "I am in deep sympathy with the movement which your Association is doing so much to forward. We cannot learn too much about the dread scourge, for we cannot intelligently fight that which we do not thoroughly understand. Knowledge is power." Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn, says: "I sincerely trust that your war on tuberculosis will prosper. It is a real war and should have the support of every right minded citizen and of all our churches of every kind. We remember with great pleasure and equal profit the tuberculosis day of 1910." The Right Rev. John Scarborough, Bishop of New Jersey of the Protestant Episcopal Church commends the movement and speaks of the literature prepared for the use of clergymen in these words: "I am greatly interested in the effort to check the spread of tuberculosis by using 'the ounce of prevention' in time. Your circular of information is so admirable that I want every clergyman in the diocese of New Jersey to receive one." The Right Rev. W. H. Moreland, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Sac- CHANCE FOR THE AFRO-AMERICANS TO JOIN HANDS WITH THE JAPANESE AND BRING ON A BLOODY WAR IN THIS COUNTRY. Soldiers, Home, LaFayette, Ind. April 10, 1911. Julius F. Taylor. Dear Sir:—I write you to suggest that there is, or is likely to be, an excellent opportunity for the Afro-Americans of the United States to strongly impress the U. S. Government of their importance in said government. Let the leading and influential Afro-Americans in some lawful way, make it known to the United States Government, how easy it is, and what a temptation it is or such people who are being denied, after dearly earning the right to be equal citizens of the United States, to leave their native country and join their fortunes with some foreign country who may offer them better treatment than they are receiving at home. A distinct people, who are one-tenth of the population of the United States, and who are deliberately forced to become alien to their country, have a natural and a just right to affiliate with, and become an integral part of any nation that may offer them rights which their native country denies them. If Japan shall become involved in our Mexican embroglio, for that is what it is, and a large part of our nine millions of Negroes should bid goodbye to this country, as they would have a legal right to do, and become Japanese, Teddy or his descendants ramento, writes: "I pledge my hearty support and that of the clergy of this diocese to the movement for the prevention of tuberculosis." Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf of New York, the well known authority on tuberculosis, in a statement issued for the occasion, says: "I venture to say the effect of lessening the demand for that not in a few instances, as a result of tuberculosis sermons having been preached by pastors, priests, rabbis, or even only physicians, much good has resulted, not only because of the education of congregations in the preventive measures, but because of the interest aroused for the consumptive poor. I know that many an unfortunate sufferer is indebted for the amelioration of his condition or for his cure to a sermon preached on tuberculosis." Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Philadelphia, the widely known Philadelphia expert on tuberculosis, says: "The work of stamping out tuberculosis is in such perfect harmony with the spirit of religion that it is but natural to ask the ministers of religion to co-operate by giving the use of their church organizations for the educational part of the campaign. Not until all the people have gotten a clear conception of what tuberculosis means and of what is necessary for its extermination will it be possible to inaugurate all the measures for prevention which Science has demonstrated as practicable and feasible. Knowledge must come before action is possible and there is no agency on earth through which knowledge can be so quickly and so efficiently extended to all the people as through the churches." The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will furnish free of charge material for preaching on tuberculosis to any clergyman applying at its office, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City might regret the outrage he perpetrated on the Brownsville Negro soldiers. Yours truly, John T. Campbell. MANY NEW FETTURES AT THE PEKIN THEATRE. Beginning on Monday, April 17th, the Pekin Theatre will offer to its patrons and the public an entire change of policy in the style of its entertainment. An arrangement has been entered in'o by which the Stock company which has been presenting their series of plays will go on tours in the outlaying theatres, playing an enlarged production once nightly and the Dramatic companies come to the Pekin, the Stock company returning every three or four weeks to their home playhouse. The companies are made up of the most experienced dramatic actors and have just closed their season's work with some of the best of the traveling dramatic companies. The first play to be produced at the Pekin is one of the Belasco dramas and is put on in an elaborate line of scenery and effects. This new departure of providing a high class entertainment at which a whole evening can be spent at the theatre should appeal to the theatre-goers who enjoy amusements of the best kind. Popular prices will prevail and seats can be reserved at the box office. Phone Calumet 128. Balcony 10 and 20 cents. Main floor 20, 30 cents. Boxes 50 cents.

Abilene, Tex., April 9.—The difference between "Negro" and "Nigger" was defined in the District Court yesterday by Judge Thomas L. Blanton, presiding, when he fined Attorney Harry Tom King $5 for the use of the word "Nigger." The Carter murder case was on trial and King was defending Carter and persisted in calling Negroes "Niggers," despite the Court's warnings not to do so. The attorney said he did not know the difference; that he supposed they were interchangeable terms. Judge Blanton said the fine would be $5 whenever the term was used in his Court. Jim Carter was found not guilty of the murder of Berry Cooper. If each and every Colored man and woman in all parts of this country could be pulled into court and fined a good round sum for using the word "Nigger" on all occasions, then it would not be long before the whites would be broke of the same habitat, for of the Colored people have no respect for themselves in this direction, how can they expect others to respect them?—Editor. CLUB NOTES. The Volunteer Workers' Club met at the home of Mrs. Mary Fisher, 3851 Aldine Place, Wednesday, April 12, and enjoyed quite a number of rare treats namely: One of its old members, Mrs. Lena Cornelius, was out.

The Club had as visitors, Mrs. Ella Johnson, Treasurer of Phyllis Wheatley Club; Mrs. Jessie Johnson, Secretary of same club; Mrs. Daisy Dickerson, Miss Quinetta Crompton and Mrs. Eudora Lockett. All of the ladies spoke encouraging words, and paid glowing compliments to the Volunteers. Mrs. Webster made a very witty response for the club. Mrs. Crompton rendered several instrumental and vocal selections. Mrs. Lockett gave a vocal solo in a very pleasing manner. The hostess served a sumptious luncheon. Mrs. Louise Hardiman will entertain the Club next Wednesday, April 19, at 6432 Vincennes Ave. Mrs. C. Johnson, Pre. Mrs. M. Bish, Sec'y. L. H. Webster, Rep. NEGRO G. A. R. VETERANS BEAT EN BY GEORGIANS. Fitzgerald, Ga., April 12.—Between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning 100 men and boys went to a hotel where there were three Colored delegates who were attending the annual encampment of the G. A. R. Department of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. They dragged the Negro delegates from their beds, forced them to dress and carried them into the street. After whipping the Negroes and cutting the G. A. R. buttons off their coats, the mob ordered them to leave town at once. The Negroes left. The mob then proceeded to the residence of Past Commander Nelson of the department and gave the veteran a befitting. Notwithstanding this fact, Booker T. Washington delights in declaring that the whites in the South are the best Friends of the Colored people.—Editor JOHNSON REPAYS KINDNESS. Heavyweight Champion Pays for Burial of Ethel Pyne, Whose Parents Once Befriended Him. San Francisco, Cal., Apr. 12—Gratitude for a kindness shown years ago moved Jack Johnson the Colored Champion Heavyweight Pugilist, to save from burial in the Potter's field the body of the daughter of a white family which had befriended him in Texas in the days when Jack was a poor pickaninny and the white folks were in affluent circumstances. Ethel Lee Pyne is the girl who has recieved burial because of past kindness of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pyne of 2517 Sacramento St. The champion, who still is in jail, was unable to attend the funeral. Col. Johnson, is becoming real good while he is resting up in the western jail. Sunday, April 30th will be National Tuberculosis Day, and the directors and all persons associated with Dr. Anna R.

William Henry Lewis, the New Assistant Attorney General, and J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, Begin Their Tenure of Office Under Favorable Circumstances. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington. "All is quiet along the Potomac"—that is the word heard on all sides at the nation's capital these days. Politicians of all shades are keeping painfully mum and the "followers on." who generally keep up much noise and din, have, for the nonce, lost their occupations. Hon. James C. Napier, the brilliant Tennessee banker and lawyer, is now safely ensconced in his berth as regis- PETER H. MON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS, ASSISTANT AT-TORNEY GENERAL. ter of the treasury. Recently Mr. Napier, in company with Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register, and Hon. Whitefield McKinley, collector of customs at Georgetown, called at the White House and paid his respects to President Taft. Hon. William Henry Lewis of Boston is now a full fledged assistant attorney general of the United States. He took the oath of office recently and then called on President Taft at the White House to tender his respects. He has a magnificent suit of offices in the Bond building, one of the largest and most prestigious office buildings in the city. Here William H. Lewis, a cultured colored man, presides with modesty and dignity over an important branch of the department of justice. The new assign attorney general has charge of the Indian depration cases. According to the gossip of the department, these cases are not now regarded as of great importance, as about 85 per cent of them already have been disposed of. There now remain about 1,300 cases, involving a total amount of about $5,500,000. These claims were handled for years by Assistant Attorney General John G. Thompson, who recently resigned to go into private practice. Since his resignation they have been in the hands of Attorney George T. Stormont, assigned to this work, who is regarded as an authority on the subject. Miss Bessie Moore, who held the position of stenographer in the office to be allotted to Lewis, has been transferred by her own request, and with the approval of the department, to a place with the court of commerce. Harry Jones, a young man who was drawing $900 a year, accepted the place left vacant and received an increase of $300. James M. Marks, the messenger attached to the office which Lewis will occupy, is a white man. President Taft seems to be a believer in passing the offices around. The "outs," who, of course, do not believe in long tenure for the "ins," look with pleasure at this disposition, as they term it, on the part of the president to give the "other fellow a chance." Many new faces now adorn the "black cabinet." Henry Lincoln Johnson, Whitefield McKinley, W. D. Johnson, John C. Napler and William H. Lewis are the new members who now sit around that imaginary council board. Terrell, the municipal judge; Tyler, the auditor for the navy; Adams, the assistant register of treasury, and Cobb, the assistant district attorney, are the only members of the "black cabinet" who were members during the Roosevelt administration. Terrell was recommissioned early in this administration. Tyler's four year term expires in June. A recent news item sent out from this city says that Tyler is an old and intimate friend of Charles Dewey Hilles, the new private secretary to the president, which fact, no doubt, augurs well for Mr. Tyler. Cobb's tenure of office is indefinite. He holds at the pleasure of the attorney general. It is known in inner circles that when Clarence Wilson, the present district attorney, succeeded D. W. Baker, Cobb was assured that the chance would not affect him in the ANNUAL REPORT ON FINANCE Dr. John Hurat Will Tell Methodists Where Their Money Goes. Washington.-The annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal church will be held at the headquarters of the department, 1541 Fourteenth street, Wednesday, April 19, at which time Rev. Dr. John Hurat, financial secretary of the denomination, will make his third annual report. The department has been in existence since 1872, and its heads have been among the most successful men in the church. Those who have occupied the position of financial secretary besides the present incumbent were Bishop James A. Handy, the late J. W. Burley, Benjamin W. Arnett, L. H. Armstrong, M. M. Moore, P. A. Hubbard and Edward W. Lampton. When Dr. Hurst took charge in 1908, $2,825,067.60 had passed through the department. During the first year of his administration $167,397.14 was raised, and in 1910 the total amount raised was nearly $200,000. The department is now in first class shape financially despite the fact that its liabilities were increased by $14,000 by the general conference which met in Norfolk. Va., in 1908. The money that passes through the departments is raised in dollar subscriptions by the members and friends of the denomination. Of this amount 36 per cent is retained by the various annual conferences for their special needs, and the remainer goes for the educational work, salaries of general officers and the multitude of other general needs of the African Methodists.

VALUABLE ADDITION TO RELIGIOUS LITERATURE. New Volume Deals With Work of Methodist Denomination. Among the many notable books relating to colored people is "Methodism and the Negro," recently issued. The author of the volume is the Rev. Dr. L. L. Thomas, field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. It is a compendium of information concerning the great work the Methodists have done for the race spiritually, educationally and financially. The foreword is by Bishop Luther B. Wilson of Philadelphia. After a lengthy and illuminating picture by the author of the various activities of the denomination for the race there are a number of essays written by prominent ministers and laymen on "Why the Methodist Episcopal Church Is Needed Among Our People." "His Present Need" and "The Outlook." Pictures of leading schools, prominent [Image of a man in a suit and tie]. REV. DR. I. L. THOMAS. men and women and of churches the country over lend interest to the volume. Dr. Thomas was born in Anne Arundel county, Md., in 1813. He was graduated from Morgan college. Baltimore, in 1881 and has developed into one of the best known and most eloquent pulpit orators in the country. He has been a field secretary for the past six years and during his travels the country over has noted racial conditions at first hand. He has been a member of several general conferences of his denomination and is widely and favorably known. The Onward March of Woman Suffrage Woman's suffrage is sweeping state after state into the line of victory, says the Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age. Some claim to see dire disaster in the success of this movement, but we have every confidence that the women who vote will always safeguard the interests of her husband, father, son or brother, as the case may be. We can and do trust our wives and mothers with the keeping of our honor and our homes. Surely we may trust them with the ballot. Intermarriage Between the Races. Discriminating laws against intermarriage between the various races in the United States pale into insignificance alongside the law of personal choice. White, colored, brown and red folks continue to unite in marriage just the same. Out in Minnesota quite recently Louis Wong, a Chinese importer, was married to Florence Strolberg, an American woman, who was an employee of the Chinaman. The simplest method yet devised to ascertain the size of raindrops is as follows: The drops are allowed to fall into a layer of dry flour one inch in depth, which is exposed to the rain for a few seconds only. The flour is then set aside until the pellets of dough formed by the drops have hardened sufficiently to be picked out. Experiments with measured drops of water falling into the flour have provided that the pellets differ little in size from the drops that produce them. The largest drops yet tested by a prominent scientist somewhat exceeded one-fifth of an inch in diameter, but most of them were much smaller. The size varies with the kind of clouds from which the rain falls.—New York Tribune.

So in case you ever happen to meet Lord and Lady Gholmondeley or have occasion to mention their mame you must pro- pounce it Chumley—O-h-e-m, chum; ey, ley, and that's Cholmondeley. And that isn't all. There are other high sounding names associated with the British aristocracy that call for gymnastics in pronunciation.

Hough E. Macbeth, editor of the Bal- timore (Md.) Times. is a firm believer ‘im the necessity of a national Negro daily paper. He says that the weekly Paper is too siow fur these strenuous times in America, an that the present circumscribed position of the American Negro demands that be have some or gan for defense as well as to chronicle his daily happenings of an upward trend. Mr. Macbeth has given the subject ‘of a race daily much attention and ex- presses himself as follows: “The absolute necessity for some great daily organ to be published by the race grows more apparent as the days pass. 1 am well aware of the ex- istence of the 300 odd weekly journals among us, and I am happy to say that they have rendered the race signal service, but must insist that 1 believe that the weekly paper falls for the ‘most part to meet the demands of the day when events thousands of miles ‘away are known as soon as they oc- cur.” ‘After stating how the modern daily has trained tbe people to demand fresh ews, he went on to say: “The Anwviran Negro has uncon- sefous!y rn trained tm this environ- ment of yuik news service.

London.—For the first time in human history there is a clear prospect of one common ideal animating all peoples, and thus the beautiful old hope of the brotherhood of nations and races is at last moving appreciably toward realization. What better means of celebrating the birth of the new era, of brushing aside prejudices and suspicions or correcting misunderstandings than by men and women from east and west, white and nonwhite, meeting as friends and equals in a great congress? We therefore earnestly appeal to all—most especially to sympathizers in the far and near east and in Africa and America—to make the utmost effort to attend personally the first universal races congress in London July (1) HEBRAI L SANGWILL, (2) ARMED SAID BRY, (3) WU TING FANG. 26 to 29 inclusive and convert it into an imposing and world moving demonstration in favor of interracial good will. The congress is truly what it purports to be—an assembly of members of all the races of the world. Accordingly there are papers on China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, the Jewish race, India, Egypt, Haiti, the American Negro and Indian and the Negro of West and South Africa. Hindu Scholar Will Open Program. In every one of these cases, we wish it to be noted, the paper is written by a member of the particular people or race concerned, while the very first paper of the congress is by a Hindu scholar, the congress executive recognizing that it might thus show its appreciation of the east.

It will relocate the hearts of those who believe in interracial harmony to know that it is not the few, the despaired of the eccentric who are congruating in this congress, but the many, the honored and the experienced.

THE NEW HOLLYWOOD MUSEUM Henceforth it will be impossible to deny that there exists a solid body of opinion among the most highly placed and the most highly cultured in favor of just, respectful and friendly relations between the peoples of the east and those of the west, between the so called whites and the so called colored, and the very remarkable unanimity in regard to fundamentals among the distinguished writers of papers will emphasize this. Object and Aim of the Congress. The object of the congress, which will be held in the University of London, is to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between these various peoples with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier co-operation. Political issues of the hour will be subordinated to this comprehensive end, in the firm belief that when once mutual respect is established difficulties of every type will be sympathetically approached and readily solved. We call on every one who chances to see this appeal to forward the high and holy cause of this congress by becoming a center of propaganda, by attending the conference and by inducing associations and public bodies to be represented.
