Theodore Roosevelt and his misguided followers who are bent upon attempting to bring about the defeat of President William H. Taft, whom the former Rough Riding President forced through the Chicago convention and on the leaders of the Republican party and the American people in 1908, have issued their call for a national convention to be held in this city August 5. United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana who published it to the world, during the Republican national convention held in Chicago last month, that he could or would buy up enough of the Southern Colored delegates to put the man on horseback or the loud mouthed would-be statesman from Oyster Bay, over or through the convention but it seems that the fates decree otherwise, is the father of the call which runs as follows: "To the people of the United States, without regard to past differences, who, through repeated betrayals, realize that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the privileged classes behind them is so strong in the two old party organizations that no helpful movement in the real interests of our country can come out of either. "Who believe that the time has come for a national progressive movement—a nationwide movement—on nonsectional lines, so that the people may be served in sincerity and truth by an organization unfettered by obligation to conflicting interests; "Who believe in the right and capacity of the people to rule themselves and effectively to control all the agencies of their government and who hold that only through social and industrial justice, thus secured, can honest property find permanent protection; "Who believes that government by the few tends to become, and has in fact become, government by the sordid influences that control the few; "Who believe that only through the movement proposed can we obtain in the nation and the several states the legislation demanded by the modern industrial evolution; legislation which shall favor honest business and yet control the great agencies of modern business so as to insure their being used in the interests of the whole people; legislation which shall promote prosperity and at the same time secure the better and more equitable diffusion of prosperity; legislation which shall promote the economic well-being of the honest farmer, wage worker, professional man and business man alike, but which shall at the same time strike in efficient fashion—and not pretend to strike—at the roots of privilege in the world of industry no less than in the world of politics; Wholesome Management Urged. "Who believe that only this type of wise industrial evolution will avert industrial revolution; "Who believe that wholesome party government can come only if there is wholesome party management in a spirit of service to the whole country, and who hold that the commandment delivered at Sinai, 'Then shalt not steal' applies to politics as well as to business; "To all in accord with these views a call is hereby issued by the provisional committee under the resolution HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY of the mass meeting held in Chicago on June 22 last to send from each state a number of delegates whose votes in the convention shall count for as many votes as the state shall have Senators and Representatives in Congress, to meet in convention at Chicago on the 5th day of August, 1912, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be supported for the positions of President and Vice President of the United States." National committee men, so far have been selected in 40 of the various states to push forward the third term movement and to boost the personal game of Col. Roosevelt who has an itching desire to have all the American people to fall down on their knees in his presence and worship him as the Great God of the universe. The members of the Republican national committee met in Washington, D.C. the first of this week, and selected Charles D. Hilles, who has been serving as private secretary to President Taft, as chairman of the national committee and without wasting any time he will start an active fight for the re-election of President Taft in the near future national Republican headquarters will be opened up in New York City and in Chicago. On the eve of the presidential campaign the following statement has been issued by chairman Hilles: "The Republican party approaches the presidential campaign with confidence in the solemnity of its cause and in the integrity and ability of the candidates who represent that cause. Progress with order is as good doctrine for the Republican party today as it has been since the day of its birth. Progress Not a Theory. "Real progress is not a theory but an achievement. No American citizen should be deceived into an exchange of his birthright for a vision. The progress of the nation toward better things does not come from declamation, but from actual results. More has been accomplished in the last three years under the administration of President Taft than was ever before accomplished by an American President in the same period of time. "A distinct line of demarcation between the Republican party and the Democratic party is revealed in the platforms adopted at Chicago and Baltimore. One is an earnest of future progress through a record of achievement; the other is a promise containing a denial of the good that has been done. "Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of optimism. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. "It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assailed by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It would leave the individual defenseless in the protection of those rights declared inalienable under the constitution."

Waldron Leads Withdrawal of a Third of the 21 Delegates Present When Convention Cuts Out Plank Declaring Colored Soldiers Have Not Received Justice at Hands of Boosevault and Taft—Seceders Claim Right to League on Basis of its Foundation and Will call New Convention. (Philadelphia, July 10, 1912.) Special to The Broad Ax. The convention of the National Independent Political League, which is composed of Colored men, broke up yesterday afternoon with the withdrawal of nearly all the officers when a majority of the delegates voted down a motion to disband on the ground that the organization, by supporting Colonel Boosevelt, had reversed its original purposes. It was proposed by motion to condemn Colonel Roosevelt for the Brownsville discharge, but when the majority rejected this six of the officers, with a few followers, left the Zion Baptist church, Thirteenth and Wallace streets, and held a meeting at 1234 Melon street, and there decided to call a new convention composed of those adherents who are willing to stand by the original principles of the league, to oppose both Roosevelt and Taft. After the break the majority attempted to persuade the officers and their followers to remain, but they left the convention after charging openly on the floor that the convention was dominated by men who tried to induce Colored delegates to break their pledges and vote for Roosevelt at Chicago. The officers who left the convention were Rev. James Milton Waldron, of Washington, first president, re-elected national organizer; W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, re-elected corresponding secretary and editor of the league's organ, the "Guardian"; William D. Johnson, of Winchester, Mass., a founder, elected second vice-president; Rev. Byron Gunner, of New York, a founder, elected fourth vice-president; Emery T. Morris, of Cambridge, Mass., national committeeman for three years, and a few delegates and minor officers. O un of New York City who is being on with the nomination for governor Those who have left the convention were especially bitter, and last night W. Monroe Trotter declared that they were opposed to both Taft and Roosevelt, since in the original draft of principles of the league they condemned both as candidates for the presidency owing to the Brownsville discharges. At their meeting after the break the bolters elected Mr. Gunner, president and the others to their respective offices, adding W. W. Wilkerson, of Jamaica Plain, Mass., as treasurer. The majority body adjourned after considering the resolution presented to them by the minority members. They are headed by J. B. Clifford, of West Virginia, and will probably organize a party composed of Colored men to fuse with the third party. There are about twenty-five men in the majority faction of the convention. One Hundred Dollars to the most beautiful or the most popular Afro-American woman in Chicago. To be crowned the Beigning Queen of the Grand August Carnival and Negro Exposition. As the time draws near for holding the Grand August Carnival and Negro Exposition, August 17 to 31, on State street from 31st street to 39th street. Much interest is being manifested by the Afro-American citizen in general, and especially by those in business in the district where the Carnival will have full sway. This is also true, on the part of the Afro-American women, married and single for a prize of $100, will be awarded or given to the most popular or the most beautiful woman of the race residing in this city who will be crowned the reigning Queen of the Grand August Carnival and Negro Exposition. No one can enter the contest, unless they are an actual resident of Chicago. Children being barred.

Whoever, is popular and beautiful enough to win the prize will receive it in the twinkling of an eye, for Banker Jesse Binga, manager of the affair, already has the money laid aside for the lucky winner and the queen of the Carnival. Col. John Temple Graves Editor in Chief of the New York American IN THE COSMOPOLITAN FOR JULY PRAISES THE SPLENDID WORK AND THE BRILLIANT CAREER OF CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM SULZER. THE ABLE AND POPULAR CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOR-EIGN AFFAIRS OF THE 62D CONGRESS. HONORABLY SERVING FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS IN SUCCESSION AND BEING PERFECTLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FUNCTIONS OF THE NATIONAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. THE AFFABLE AND ELOQUENT NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF THE EMPIRE STATE THIS COMING ELECTION. Col. John Temple Graves, editor and chief of the New York American and one of the most forcible writers in this country, contributed the following article to The Cosmopolitan, of July, in praise of the splendid work and the brilliant career of Congressman William Sulzer, who would make a tip-top candidate, for governor of the Empire state, at the election this fall, and sweep it from end to end, at the same time greatly adding to the success of the Democratic national ticket: William Sulzer—Democrat by John Temple Graves: On March 18, 1863—at six o'clock in the morning—in the eminently industrious and orthodox town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, there was born into this world a genuine Democrat. Some men are born Democrats, some achieve Democracy, and some, by reason of interest or environment, have Democracy thrust upon them. Not a moment of time need be lost in deciding where William Sulzer came into his own. He started at the beginning. He was born to his political estate. Sulzer would have been a Democrat if neither Jefferson nor Jackson nor Tilden had lived or died. Every stalwart virtue and every sturdy creed that has ranged or rioted under the stormy banner of Democracy—liberty, equality, fraternity, popular rights and the love of constitutional government—throbbed as vigorously under the corduroy jacket or the student's gown, as it beats undiminished and undiluted, now under the frock coat within which the congressman from the Tenth New York district fronts his colleagues or constituents upon the rostrum or on the floor. Scotch-Irish and Dutch is the blood that makes the fighters of the world. And Sulzer has fought all his life—fought for honest opportunity, fought for the right side, for his friends, for his district, for his state, for his country; and, whether he won or failed in the finals, he has carried unfailingly the respect of friend and foe. He was a success as a lawyer, and won recognition in that most difficult of professions in his first year. He has fought eloquently and consistently for his party in every state and national campaign since 1884. He was five times a member in high standing of the New York Legislature and was in 1893—at the age of thirty—one of the youngest and ablest Speakers in the official history of the State Assembly. Under his Speakership, run the chronicles, New York enjoyed the lowest tax-rate and the most economical tax-budget in forty-seven years, and the cleanest and shortest session of the Legislature in fifty-one years! It is nobly characteristic of the young legislator that, after his triumphant life at Albany, he turned his back upon pleas innumerable and fees that were princely and never crossed the portals of the Capitol to lobby for or against a bill. Sulzer never loved money. He is as poor to-day as he was in '83. William Sulzer went to Congress in 1894, and has been there ever since—from first to last a consistent and progressive Democrat. Three Democrats were conspicuously promoted by the Democratic majority of the 62nd Congress: Champ Clark was made Speaker, Oscar Underwood No. 41 was made Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and William Sulzer was given the important Committee on Foreign Affairs—a world committee—in which he has won new laurels for judgment, vigilance, and discretion in his country's interests. There is scarcely a progressive piece of Democratic legislation within this decade with which William Sulzer has not been prominently connected. He introduced and advocated the resolution to change the Constitution for the direct election of United States senators by the people. He introduced the resolution for a parcel post, and has worked for it unceasingly. He is the author and advocate of the patriotic bill for the re-establishment of our American merchant marine. He is the author and advocate of the bill for an income tax. He introduced the bill for the abrogation of the Russian Treaty of 1832, and succeeded in passing it through the House by a vote of 300 to 1. He introduced the resolution of sympathy and encouragement to the Chinese Republic, and made it an issue in Congress. He has been the essence of diligence and discretion in the dealings of his committee with the difficult and dangerous recent relations of our country with Mexico. Sulzer's industry is amazing. It is doubtful if any other member of the 62d Congress has introduced and successfully advocated so many bills. His duties are absorbing, his achievements remarkable, and yet he always has time, or finds it, for his friends need for many unpleasant matters. Sulzer is the best vote-getter in the State of New York. He always runs ahead of his ticket. He has never been defeated. He is the unbeaten candidate. His hold upon the Tenth New York district is remarkable. The Tenth was a strong Republican district which the sturdy Democrat captured from the enemy in a pitched battle of eloquence and energy. For eighteen years it has been impossible to dislodge him. The Republicans have failed, and even his own party has not succeeded. Sulzer, independent and a good lawyer, as honest as the day, has been time and again in open opposition to Murphy and Tammany Hall. Murphy and Tammany have tried to defeat him. But the brave young congressman has defied them, and, laughing in their faces, has gone on his way to successive victories. The whole career of William Sulzer, congressman, publicist, and patriot, is a wholesome and inspiring tribute to the power of sincerity, courage, integrity, and absolute frankness in a people's government. C. J. Doyle, the new secretary of State of Illinois, who succeeded the late James A. Rose, is proving himself to be the right man in the right place. Mr. Doyle is not only courteous at all times himself, but also demands the same thing on the part of his assistants. He is ever ready to furnish public documents and other information to newspaper editors, which makes him very popular with them throughout the state.

A statement was sent out a short time ago from the Associated Press to the papers in the state and country, that Mr. Walter Burleigh Griffin, of the class of 1899, architectural course, University of Illinois, had won the international competition for plans for the erection of a capitol building for the federal government of Australia. The competition was much more important than this would seem to signify. The Australian federal government has determined to follow the example of the American federal government in the founding and development of Washington, and create a new city as a federal capital, locating it away from other cities and as far out in the open country as Washington was when it was founded. The federal government of Australia desired a competition among the architects of the world for the planning of this federal city—the suggestion of buildings and their location, the fundamental street plan, and in general a suggestion covering all that was necessary in blocking out in broad outlines the plan of a great city worthy to be the federal capital of this new nation. It was a problem almost exactly like that before the American people in 1800 when Washington was created as the capital city of our federal union, and Mr. Griffin has had the good fortune to play the part of the celebrated Frenchman L'Enfur, who drew the foundation plan upon which a city was built which has become one of the most magnificent governmental centers in the world. Mr. Griffin's problem was even more comprehensive as well as more detailed than L'Efant's, for he was expected not merely to draw up a street plan and indicate the location of one or two buildings, with suggestions for the plans of these, but to draw up in considerable detail the ground plan, provide for the scheme of drainage, for the location of numerous buildings, for the proper handling of the traffic, and the development of the legislative and business sides of this great metropolis. The fact that Walter Burleigh Griffin graduated in the architectural course of the University of Illinois, serves naturally to call attention to this school and its remarkable growth and services to the country. If anyone had picked out thirty years ago the most unfavorable place in the United States for the location of a course in architecture, no one would have made a mistake in putting it upon the banks of the Boneyard stream in the city of Urbana in Illinois far removed from any specimens of architecture that were worthy of study, with no collections worth visiting within a thousand miles, the outlook for a great school of architecture seemed hopeless enough. But Professor Clifford N. Bicker, who still remains a member of the faculty, was so to speak, the founder and organizer of this school, and as he said to one of his friends some years ago, his success is largely to be attributed to the fact he has been "on the job" ever since. Summer and winter, rain or shine, in storm and quiet, he has persistently hammered away to lay broad and deep the foundations of this school and rear its superstructure high until it has become one of the four greatest schools of architecture in the new world, and has an attendance during the present year, exceeding that of any other school of architecture in this hemisphere. It has become a source of inspiration in every county in the commonwealth, and the traces of its influence are to be seen in the buildings going up throughout this state. Dr. Ricker has been for many years the chairman of the State Board of Examiners, who have charge of the admission of applicants to the practice of the profession of architecture. In this position he has done much to set standards and elevate the general level of the profession. In addition to the fact that the School of Architecture in the University of Illinois has, through the inscience of its graduates, affected in a very marked way the architecture throughout the commonwealth of Illi- X.

The Third session of the Michigan Annual conference closed its deliberations in our church last Monday night. It was said to be the largest attended and the most successful session ever held. This conference embraces the State of Michigan, several points in Canada, the northern part of Indiana, Illinois and Eastern Wisconsin. The membership is not large, but it is doing a splendid work. This Conference forms a part of the Seventh Episcopal District in the A. M. E. Zion Connection, over which Bishop George Lincoln Blackwell, S. T. D. Presides. The Conference convened on Wednesday, July 3, at 11:00 a. m. It held regular sessions until it closed, all of which were pleasant and profitable. Last Sunday was an exceptional day in the history of the conference. Rev. W. I. Rowan, of Indianapolis, Ind., preached a soul stirring and instructive sermon at 11:00 a. m. The Love Feast however led by Rev. Mrs. C. A. Walker at 10:00 a. m. prepared the people for its reception. At 3:00 p. m. Rev. J. C. Roberts, D. D. of Binghamton, N. Y. delivered a thoughtful and instructive discourse, all of the services were well attended, but at 8:00 p. m. when Dr. J. W. Wood, Missionary Secretary, preached his splendid sermon the church was taxed to its utmost capacity. The offerings for the day amounted to $125.72. The amount of money raised for the general Church by this conference was a little over $1,100. All of the Mission points received some financial help. The entertainment of the conference by the local church was up to high water mark. The ladies and their committees who were especially responsible for the entertainment and who richly deserve special mention in this connection, were Madames, India Smith, Florence Combs, Alice Brown, Alvenia Cyrus and Carrie Saunders. The splendid supper served at the close of the program on Monday evening was to the credit of the two stewardess boards led by their chairman respectively, Madames Lulu Foster and Mary J. Green. Miss Daisy Ware directress of our choir and Mrs. C. J. Jackson the organist were responsible and deserve great credit for the splendid musical program rendered on that night. Among the visitors who attended the conference were, Beva J. W. Wood, J. F. Moreland, T. W. Wallace, A. J. Shockley, J. C. Roberts, W. I. Rowan, Mrs. Corbin, Jr., and Miss Corbin of Grand Rapids, Mich., Mrs. J. W. Cochran and Miss Helen Cochran of Indianapolis, Ind. There were but few changes in the appointments. Dr. Callis was returned to the Chicago Church. Our services next Sunday will be as usual. The pastor will preach morning and evening. The official members and pastor desire to express their gratefulness to all who in any way contributed to the splendid entertainment which we were able to give the Annual Conference.—"S." Mrs. Hattie E. Milliner of Rome, Ga., has arrived in our city on her second visit and is accompanied by her cousin Mrs. Florence Mathas of Knoxville, Tenn. Mrs. Milliner would be delighted to have all of her many friends and acquaintance of her first visit call. Both Mrs. Milliner and Mrs. Mathas are charming and delightful entertainers and their friends will be assured a pleasant call. They are stopping with their uncle, W. N.

Committee on Foreign Affairs House Representatives, Washington, D. C. July 8, 1912. My dear Mr. Payne Just a line to inquire how you are, and I hope you are quite yourself again. Sorry you were not at the Convention in Baltimore. Your Democratic friends missed you very much. However, we have nominated the winning ticket, and I know no one will do more to help elect it than your good self. With best wishes for your health and success, and hoping to hear from you now and then, believe me, REV. FATHER CHARLES R. UNCLES ENTERTAINED AT THE APPMATTOX CLUB BY BANKER JESSE BINGA AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CATHOLIC ORDER OF FORESTERS. Rev. Father Charles R. Uncles, the first Colored priest to be ordained in this country, and for many years, one of the professors in the Epiphany College, Baltimore, Md., spent the past week in Chicago as the guest of Rev. Father J. S. Morris, 3669 Wabash avenue, pastor of St. Monica's Church . Rev. Father Uncles, is on his way home from a retreat at St. Charles, Ill., and on last Monday evening, Banker Jesse Binga, R. H.

Gariand Peun of this city to the office of secretary of the Freedman Ald so clety at the recent session of the gen- eral conference of the Methodist Epts- copal cbarch seems to have given gen- @ral satisfaction.

He is peculiarly known as a man who has been successful at everything be has attempted. He called the attention of the coun- try to the remarkable achievement of the Negro race through the success of the exhibit at the Cotton States expo- sition, held in Atlante in 1895, because of the painstaking care and general forethought that directed bis every movement as head of the departmnt. It is generally known, too, that through his invitation be gave that eminent educator, Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington, the opportunity at the Cotton States exposition to promulgate his gospel of amity and mutual belpfuiness between the races. for which he has since become famous the world over. Born Educator and Well Known Author Dr. Penn came to this position from the public schools of his home town, Lynchburg, Va. As principal of the school in Lynchburg be not only suc- ceeded in his work. but drew consid- erable attention to bimself through the authorship of a distinctively race work, “The Afro-American Press.” This book of 600 pages was an authority at the time upon the relation of the Negro press to the abolition of the race. With reference to this book Bishop Vincent said. “The pen is the sword of the African by which he will win place and power.” The present volume is © lbrary of valuable bistory and biography and a picture gallery as well. Dt. Peon has since written “Self Béucation” snd “The United Negro” and is 2 joint author of “Graded Sun- day Schools.” He is perbaps more widely known among the young people of the race re- gardiess of denomination than any oth- er churchman among us. Thousands have beard of eminent prelates and other men who bare stood In the lime- light. Throughout the country as he has gone on hix mindon as assistant secretary of the Epworth League be has come in contact with young men and women. bas bad heart to heart talks with them and bay been of great help apd inspiration to hundreds. His rucces« in the Bpworth League has been reflected ju the many Gelds into which he has been called. in all of wich be served with particular dis- tinction in the matter of genuine serv- ice. It fs quite fair ro say that Dr. Penn Grst emphasized to Negro charch- men the relve of numbers and organ zation in al) departments of church work. Forceful Leader Among Young Paople.

Fathered Fiftieth Anniversary Idea. Out of these conventions came the Gecision to observe the fiftieth annl- versary of the emancipation of the Negro by the M. E. church on behalf ‘of the Freedman Aid society to raise $500,000 for the endowment of schools. Dr. Penn, the originator of the conven- ton movement, could not foresee at the tlme of putting forward these con- ‘Yentions that in less than two years he ‘would be called to the office of one of the corresponding secretaries of the Freedman Aid societies and given the task of pushing forward the great Jubilee movement, which was the out- growth of these conventions. Again, Dr. Penn twenty-five years ago, when he lived in Lynchburg, Va, undertook to take the lead with others im having the local church, of which he was a member, give $5,000 in one sum for the establishment of the Vir ginia Collegiate and Industrial insti- tute in that city, now one of the Freed- man Aid schools. His church gave this sum of money. Perhaps the most effective argument which he will have to use in securing ‘funds throughout the eburch for edu- cation will be that one chureh through his own efforts contributed such a sum of money for the education of Negro children, emphasizing at this early time self help upon thelr part. His success in these and other ef- forts leads the people of the country to feel that Dr. Penn will bring to the Freedman Aid society, in addition to his energetic and forceful manner, the ripé experience he bas gained in all these activities, and thus be the means of bringing about larger results for the work of the schools in the south that Gepend almost entirely upon the Freed- man Aid society for their maintenance.

No one can follow closely the work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People without being convinced that it came into being for a specific purpose. The association was organized to combat the spirit of persecution and prejudice which confronts the colored people in this country. The organization also exists to assure to the race every right, privilege and opportunity to which every citizen of the United States is entitled. Theoretically all but those most imbued with race prejudice grant the justness of those principles for which the association contends. The July issue of the Crisis is an educational number. It contains special news about our colleges, with illustrations, and also has a number of other articles of timely interest. It also refers to the now famous Bolin case as follows: From time to time we have reported the progress of the Bolin case against the Palisades (New York) Amusement park. Last summer Mr. Paul C. Bolin, organist at St. Philip's P. E. church, New York, together with his brother, Mr. L. W. Bolin, his wife and some friends, went to Palisades park, where several of them were refused admittance. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People became interested in the case and tried to get a criminal indictment. The local district attorney was dilatory, and nothing was done. Then on advice of our attorneys a civil suit was brought. The company saw no escape and, having no defense, promptly came to terms by paying the Bolins $300 cash for damages and giving the family a free pass for the season. If there is any further color discrimination at Palisades park we should be glad to hear of it. MOUNT BETHEL BAPTIST TO MEET IN WASHINGTON. Cosmopolitan Church Selected For Annual Session Aug. 20. The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Mount Bethel Baptist association will meet in Washington on Tuesday, Aug. 20. The sessions will be held in the spacious auditorium of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, of which the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is the founder and pastor. The churches within the jurisdiction of the association have greatly increased in membership during the fiscal year. The attendance of delegates and visitors will therefore be larger than that of previous years. The committee of arrangements has the matter of entertainment well under way and will be prepared to accommodate the throngs which will be in attendance. The annual sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Winn of Baltimore. At the evening session of the first day the feature will be the doctrinal sermon, which will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. Watkins, also of Baltimore. Some of the noted musicians and vocalists of the city will be heard at the various sessions of the association. The large territory covered by the Bethel association makes it possible for it to do its full quota of missionary and educational work. While the denomination should not neglect its missionaries on the foreign field, attention is called to the fact that there is a pressing need just now for an increase of funds for home mission and educational work. YOUNG ARTIST AIMS HIGH. Success of A. J. Franklin at Herron Institute Attracts Attention. The work of young Arthur J. Franklin, student in the Herron Art institute, in Indianapolis, Ind., has attracted much attention in the educational circles of the city. Mr. Franklin is naturally fond of drawing and painting and shows unusual ability in the use of the brush. In the arrangement of colors and the selection of subjects he manifests rare skill and delicate taste. He has only been a student at the Herron Art school for about nine months. His crayon and oil sketches, however, bear the mark of a finished painter. Being directed by experienced teachers who are deeply interested in his promising career, young Franklin has devoted the greater part of his time to portrait painting in oil from life since he commenced his studies at the institute. While the various professions seem to be crowded with workers, Mr. Franklin believes in the survival of the fittest and that there is plenty of room on top. He is young, self reliant and persistent. With these necessary essentials to success, coupled with his love for his chosen calling, he has made up his mind to make the best of his opportunities. Large Sum For Association Work. Besides the large sums secured for the work and maintenance of educational institutions among Afro-Americans during the past year $750,000 was raised for Young Men's Christian association work throughout the country. NEW MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD NEW MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD Rise of William L. Houston as an Educator. HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS. Legislative Body of Educational System in Washington Gains Zealous Worker-Achievements of Appointees as Former Head of Odd Fellowa, Able Lawyer and Business Man. Washington-William L. Houston, a prominent attorney at law in this city, has been named as a member of the board of education to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, professor of history in Howard university. Mr. Houston has signified his acceptance of the trust and announces that he will give to the public school system of the District the best service he is capable of rendering. Mr. Houston is an active force in the professional and social life of the nation's capital. He is a young man of fine intellectual attainments and sterling character and is an orator of pronounced ability. He is perhaps best known throughout the country for his brilliant administration as grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He served two M. B. WILLIAM L. HOUSTON, ESQ. terms, during which time the order is said to have reached the high water mark of its existence. The membership was increased to over 500,000 during this period, and large gains were made in property holdings. At the fifteenth B. M. C., held in Baltimore in 1910, he was made an associate justice of the newly created supreme court of the order for the eight year term. His friends are now insisting that he stand as a candidate for the office of grand secretary at the sixteenth B. M. C., which meets in Atlanta, Ga., next September. Mr. Houston came to Washington after a season as a schoolteacher in Evansville, Ind., to accept a clerkship in the war department and filled the position with credit and distinction for several years. In the meantime he had graduated from the law department of Howard university. Anxious to gain experience in the legal profession, he resigned from the government service to enter a partnership with Counselor Edward H. Morris in Chicago and quickly earned for himself an enviable place at the Illinois bar, carrying all the while the arduous doties of grand master of the order. Returning to Washington for permanent residence, Mr. Houston has in a comparatively brief period built up a lucrative practice and is ranked with the ablest members of the bar of the District of Columbia regardless of race or color. In addition to his active labors in the Order of Odd Fellows, Mr. Houston is a master Mason and is identified with numerous other fraternal and civic organizations. He is a member of the A. M. E. church. His wife, formerly Miss Mary Hamilton of Wilberforce, O., is also a potent factor in the social and religious activities of the city. The family circle is completed by Master Charles Houston, an unusually bright lad, who graduated with honors from the M street high school, winning a scholarship at Amherst, where he is now making a proud record. Entering upon his duties with the heartiest approval of his admiring fellow citizens and imbued with the highest ideals with reference to the education of his race, the people of the District of Columbia may expect at the hands of Irr.
