SEEMINGLY GOVERNOR EDWARMINED TO PLACE HIS STAINEBRIATED PREACHERS AND MEANS OF SUPPORT. For our part we honestly feel or believe that at no time since the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D.D.D., has become a resident of this great city has he had the slightest moral right to pose as the highest personification of all that is good and ennobling in the Afro-American race. That without anyone successfully disputing the fact, too often in the past it has appeared to a blind man up a tree that he has sported around in the livery of heaven in which to more faithfully seem the head boss of the infernal regions. Notwithstanding these self-evident truths, on all state or other important occasions the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D.D.D., will persist in boldly thrusting himself forward as the leading and sole representative of the Afro-American race in this part of the country, and all those who fail to bow down real low unto him and worship him like unto the great Jehovah Himself he endeavors to tramp or crush them out or blow them off the face of the earth. Not knowing what fate or the gods have in store for us in the future, but we are highly resolved from henceforth not to look to the right nor to the left but straight ahead and whatever the result might be, just as long as we breathe the breath of life, in some way or other we shall solemnly protest against permitting half-drunken preachers to represent us on all grand and important occasions. It will be recalled that the St. Paul-Chicago Sunday School Union or District Conference was held at Milwaukee, Wis., the first part of July, 1903, that the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D.D., who was at that time holding forth at Quinn Chapel was a delegate to it, that his conduct was so bad or disgraceful that he came very near messing up or breaking up all of its sessions. He was in favor of the late Dr. H. C. Cress for president or chairman of the conference as against the re-election of Mr. T. W. Twiggs, of Evanston, Ill. The conference was held at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church in that city, and no real sane person ever dreamed that half-drunken preachers would ever start a rough house in it at such a time and on such an occasion. The high rolling pastor of the Institutional Church and the big, red-faced pet of Governor Edward F. Dunne, on the Illinois state commission, was backed up in his fight for Dr. Crass by Revs. Jamison, Bass and Rev. George Brown who never did, so they say, refuse to take his whiskey straight, and by Robert McCoomer who was at that time superintendent of the Quinn HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Chapel Sunday school, and when they were defeated in their scheme of putting their man over, Rev. Carey and his preacher associates became so unruly that Elders G. C. Booth and H. H. Thompson were forced to use all of their persuasive powers in order to pacify him. He frotted or foamed at the mouth and acted twenty times worse than some old-time whiskey drinking man, and Mrs. Florence Jackson who was one of his prominent workers in Quinn Chapel at that time, felt sure that "the wet Holy Ghost had descended from heaven in the shape of a dove and that it had lit on the top of his unministerial head, which caused him to conduct himself like a rough and tumble prize fighter." It was claimed by many of the delegates attending the conference, although it may not be true, that "he had to be carried or toted down stairs in the basement of the church and laid out on a table or couch in order to cool him off." That same evening, so many of the delegates contended, that "he lost his hat somewhere and that he was discovered walking up and down the streets perfectly hatless looking for his friend, the Rev. George Brown, who dearly loved his hot or warm toddy. Many of the delegates also asserted at that time that one of the hard drinking preachers who at one time resided down in Georgia was so eager to start something or to turn the conference into a rough house, that he ran his hand in his hip pocket for his revolver and threatened to "blow the head off the first man or woman who attempted to lay their hands on him." The rash conduct on the part of that half-drunken preacher who wants to become a high official of the A. M. E. Church, caused the greatest commotion among the delegates, and in order to enable them to recover from the evil effects of the many disgraceful scenes which had been enacted by the whiskey-tapping servants of the Lord, the conference adjourned for one half day. As stated before, the conference was held in Milwaukee, Wis., the first part of the July, of the year already mentioned, and on Thursday evening, July 9, of that same year, Thos. J. Hunter, who was one of the high officials of Quinn Chapel, called on us, stating that he had been authorized by its pastor, Rev. A. J. Carey, to see if he could not persuade us from publishing anything concerning his disgraceful and unministerial conduct at Milwaukee, Wis.; that a rally was in progress at Quinn Chapel, and that if its pastor was handled in the columns of The Broad Ax without gloves, many of the wealthy white citizens, who had in the CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER, 27 1913 MR. ISRAEL COWEN One of the extremely popular and prominent attorney's of Chicago, who would make an ideal candidate for one of the judges of the Municipal Court in 1914. past aided it, would read of his ungentlemanly conduct and refuse to contribute any money to the church during its rally. At the end of Mr. Hunter's conversation with us we assured him that it was far from our desire to hurt the church and to prevent anyone from assisting it in a financial way, and then and there we gave him our word of honor that not one line would appear in The Broad Ax that week in relation to Rev. Carey and his memorable and dishonorable trip to Milwaukee. on the intellectual advancement of the Colored race, when such men are pushed to the front to represent the highly respectable, the tax-paying and the progressive Afro-Americans residing in the grand old state of Illinois. HON. THOMAS E. KNOTTS AGAIN HEADS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET FOR MAYOR OF GARY, INDIANA. On the first Tuesday in November, the people residing in the flourishing and enterprising city of Gary, Ind., On Thursday evening, July 16, of that same year, Mr. Hunter and the late Dr. H. C. Cress again called on us, and Dr. Cress was the spokesman of the two. He informed us that they were both officials of Quinn Chapel and that Rev. Carey, its pastor, had requested them to pay us the second visit, the object being to see if they could not induce us to still refrain from publishing anything respecting his trip to Milwaukee; that they stood ready and willing to pay us $200, which would be more money than we would realize from the sale of extra papers, if we published the article. That Mrs. Carey, being in a highly nervous state, that they were fearful, that she would not recover from the effects of the terrible blow or shock, by reading of the escapades of her ushand. Dr. Cress went on to state in his long conversation with us that Rev. Carey had promised his official board that he would mend his ways—that from henceforth he would drink nothing but tea and water. It was near 11 o'clock p. m. before Messrs. Cress and Hunter wound up their talking and they finally said: "Mr. Taylor, we have done all the talking while you have had nothing to say." Then in a slow low voice we requested them to inform Rev. Carey that "he never would own nor control enough of money to bribe us and that he had no right to thrust himself forward at all times as one of the moral, political or spiritual leaders of the Colored race." Our burning article on "Drunken Preachers" did not appear in the columns of The Broad Ax until Saturday August 22, and on the following Sunday Dr. Cress and Mr. Henderson, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Quinn chapel, called on us to lay us out for writing the article touching upon the unspeakable conduct on the part of Rev. Carey, and they found us reading the bible on the Lord's day. In conclusion, it honestly seems to us that Governor Edward F. Dunne is fully determined to continue to place his stamp of approval upon half inebriated preachers and other Colored men who have no visible means of support, and it is a sad commentary on the intellectual advancement of the Colored race, when such men are pushed to the front to represent the highly respectable, the tax-paying and the progressive Afro-Americans residing in the grand old state of Illinois. HON. THOMAS E. KNOTTS AGAIN HEADS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET FOR MAYOR OF GARY, INDIANA. On the first Tuesday in November, the people residing in the flourishing and enterprising city of Gary, Ind., will be called upon to select new city officials, and Hon. Thomas Knottis, tried and true, and who has for years been one of the main stays of that city and served it well in the past as its mayor, again heads the ticket for reelection to that office, and P. C. Finerty, chairman of the Democratic city committee, and John Dorman, vice chairman, who have the political situation well in hand and who freely admit that a majority of the Colored voters in that city will support Mayor Knottis—that it is all over right now but the shouting. The following is the Democratic city ticket of Gary: For Mayor, Thomas E. Knottis; for City Clerk, Carl O. Denewitz; for City Treasurer, William J. Flinn; for City Judge, Ora L. Wildermuth; for Councilmen-at-Large, Joe Morris, T. W. Englehart, John Oleksa. Ward candidates: for Councilman of First Ward, George B. Corcoran; for Councilman of Second Ward, Frank N.

THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE ENDED ITS SESSIONS AT EVANSTON, ILLINOIS MONDAY. The Chicago Conference of the A.M. E. Church wound up its business Monday at Evanston, Ill., and among the changes made in this city were: Rev. D. P. Roberts was transferred from Bethel church to Indianapolis, Ind., and Rev. Thomas H. Smythe was transferred from Indianapolis to Bethel church, this city, and he will occupy the home of Rev. Roberts, on Vernon avenue, near 36th street. Rev. Anderson, of the Lexington, Ky., district, becomes the new pastor at Quinn chapel. Some years ago he was in charge of Wayman chapel, on the North side. Rev. W. D.

CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE WILLIAM ELZA WILLIAMS OF ILLINOIS WRITES A LETTER TO JOSEPH BIGGS CONCERNING THIS ALL IMPORTANT SUBJECT. THE COLORED MAIL CARRIERS WILL STILL BE FOUND DELIVERING MAIL AS USUAL AFTER THAT DATE. MISS LILLIAN BLANCHE WRIGHT OF THIS CITY AND EDMUND A. PATTEN OF TEXAS HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUBSTANTIAL PROMOTIONS BY THE NEW AUDITOR OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT, EDWARD LUKLOW OF WISCONSIN, WHO BELIEVES THAT MERIT RATHER THAN COLOR IS A THING THAT SHOULD COUNT. A report was recently sent out from Washington, D. C., to the effect that the Democratic Congressmen had just held a caucus and that they had passed a resolution in favor of discharging all of the Afro-Americans that are now in the government service on the first day of January 1914. That was a false report from the beginning to the end. However, many newspapers published it as the absolute truth. Some of them even went so far as to state that the Colored mail carriers in all parts of this country would also be forced to walk the gang plank on that date, which was another bare-faced falsehood. And, take it from us, the people—those that are living in all parts of the United States will for many years to come behold Colored mail carriers and Colored men and women working for the United States government in many other capacities. The following letters from Congressmen William Elza Williams and George E. Gorman to Joseph Biggs, residing in this city, in reference to the action of the caucus referred to, speak for themselves. House of Representatives U. S. Committee on Naval Affairs Washington, D. C. September 18, 1913. Mr. Joseph Biggs, 5431 Federal St., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, and replying will say the Democratic Caucus did not take any action against Negro employees as such, but did authorize the appointment of Democrats in place of all Republican employees now on the House force. If these employees or any of them are Republicans, they will lose their places without regard to color, but if pastor of Evanston, Ill. Rev. A. J. Carey is still in charge of Institutional church, and Bishop B. F. Lee made no other changes among his ministerial brethren in this neck of the woods. BASS MUST FACE CHARGE Philadelphia Politician Charged With Larceny of Five Hundred Dollars. Philadelphia September 21.—Harry W. Bass, member of the Legislature from the Seventh ward and secretary of the Emancipation Exposition Commission, was indicted last Friday for the alleged larceny of a check for $500 and a contract for $2,500 belonging to Lorenzo Harris, a Colored sculptor. Harris was commissioned by Bass some months ago to make two stucco statues for the exposition for which he was to receive $2,500. $500 was to be paid upon the signing of the contract and $1,000 upon the delivery of each statue. Senator Crow, a member of the exposition commission, it is said, sent a check, made out to Harris, when he received the contract. Harris, it is said, surrendered his duplicate contract when Bass told him that there was some details to be "fixed" up with Democrats, they will be retained without regard to color. There are so few places not controlled by Civil Service, and there is such a demand on the part of the Democrats for places that we find it necessary to replace Republicans with Democrats where the place is not sewed up by the Civil Service. I, for one, beg to assure you while I do draw the political line in the matter of appointments, where the Civil Service Law does not apply, I will not draw the color line, but stand ready to aid any Democrat and will do what I can to retain any Democratic Negro in his present position. Yours truly, W. E. WILLIAMS. House of Representatives U. S. Washington, D. C. September 17, 1913. Replying to your letter of September 15th, beg to say that the Colored men referred to in the caucus was in reference to two barbers in the House Office Building who were designated to their present positions by Republicans. Yours respectfully, GEO. E. GORMAN. If it is the intention of the Democrats to run all the Colored people out of the government service in the near future it does not stand to reason that only last week Miss Lillian Blanche Wright, of this city, and Edmund A. Patten, of Texas, both (Colored) were given substantial promotions by the new auditor of the Navy Department, Mr. Edward Luklow of Wisconsin, who is firmly of the opinion that merit rather than the color of one's skin should count on the part of all who labor for the government. the trust company on which the check was drawn before Harris could get it. Later Harris, it is alleged went to Bass and asked for his contract and $500. Neither was forthcoming and after an argument, Harris, who has only one arm, proceeded to do Bass up in the style that Jack Johnson finished Jeffries. The arrest of Bass for alleged larceny as bailee followed. Will the Honorable Thomas Wallace Swann, we don't think, please stand up and lead us in prayer.—Editor. EDWARD D.

In order that thése various local celebrations may be carried out feriliohiously and in such & way that local celebration will contribute to & natiohal total, the following recommendations are submitted: (1) That October 10-26, 1913, be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. (2) That schools, churches and all other societies and organizations in every part of the United States, where there ib a considerable number of our People, unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding local celebrations; these célebrations to take the form, where that is possible, of an exposition of the progress in commercial, professional, intellectual, moral and religious direc- tions, made by members of the race in that community. (8) Where possible these local expositions should be held in connection with existing county or state fairs. (@) Wherever it is feasible the county should be made the unit of or ganization of the celebration and in every ease an effort should be made to obtain city, county or state aid to carry the plans of the local committee into effect. (5) In addition to the exposition referred to, an effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative man obtainable, North ot South, as principal speaker. (6) It is suggested that Sunday, October 26th, be set apart as a day for raising contributions to a fund to clear off the debt upon the Frederick Donglass Home, in the District of Columbis, and to set aside » sufficient sum to maintain this national memorial of the Colored people. mM ‘In conclusion, it is strongly urged that our people begin now to pre pare for the Fiftieth Anniversary Week, and that this be made at once means and an ogcasion for calling the attention of the world to the tremen dous progress which the Negro race has made during its first fifty years o! freedom in America. It is my earnest hope and desire that the above suggestions be read be fore the various churches, lodges and other organizations of our people, t the end that the Fiftieth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generall; observed everywhere.

WORK OF THE MEHARRYS. Present Head of Well Known Nash- ville Institution Only Survivor of the Five Men Whose Name the College Bears—Honored at Great Social Function of Physicians. Nashville, Tenn.-The recent reunion of the graduates of the Meharry Medical college, in this city, was a distinct benefit to every member of the profession whose good fortune it was to be present at this first reunion held at the institution. It was a historic occasion of more than ordinary importance. Dr. J. T. Phillips, author of the Meharry song, "Crimson and Black," had charge of the music and led in the singing of this and other selections, which were greatly enjoyed. Dr. C. V. Roman, who delivered the address of welcome, in part said: "Gentlemen, it is a pleasant sight to look at such an audience. The first evidence of civilization in men was their willingness to eat together without quarrelling. I do not know of the truthfulness of that, but I do know that one of the great elements of civilization is their desire to return to a landmark. Of the small band of Christian workers who started out on the great mission thirty years ago one re- DR. GEORGE W. HUBBARD. mainls to be here tonight in the person of the honored dean of Meharry, Dr. George W. Hubbard." Dr. Hubbard received a warm welcome from the Meharryites. It was a warmth that cheered Dr. Hubbard's heart as he noted the strong feeling of appreciation for his efforts in behalf of the cause of freedom, good will and opportunity for our race as manifested by men of the race on this occasion. The sentiment of every one of the Meharry boys is, "Long live George W. Hubbard." The venerable dean in his introductory remarks said: "To the five Meharry brothers—Hugh, Alexander, Samuel, David and Jesse, who so generously aided in establishing and supporting this institution that bears their name—the colored people of the south, and especially the alumni of Meharry, owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. "They have all passed from their labor to their reward, but their works do follow them. "During the winter of 1875-6, while I was attending lectures at the medical department of Nashville university and the medical department of Vanderbilt university, Rev. John C. Braden, then president of Central Tennessee college, invited me to undertake the task of organizing a medical department for that college. "This was the first attempt made to establish a medical school for the education of colored physicians in the southern states, only a few years before Howard university opened its doors to all persons who were properly prepared for the study of medicine without regard to sex or color. To Rev. Samuel Meharry of Lafayette, Ind., belongs the credit of giving the first $500 toward the support of this work. "The work was begun on the first week of October, 1876. The faculty consisted of Dr. J. Sneed and myself. One room in the northeast corner of Tennessee hall, which was destroyed by fire in December, 1903, was allotted to us for our work, and a room in the basement of the building, was prepared for practical demonstrations in anatomy. The requirement for admission was a fair knowledge of the English branches. Nine students were enrolled during the first session, and J. M. Jamilson, who is still living and practicing in Topeka, Kan., and who had previously studied medicine, was the first and only graduate of 1877. "There were eighteen students enrolled the following year, and the graduating exercises were held at Thompson chapel on Feb. 22, 1877, and the address to the graduating class was delivered by Bishop Gilbert Haven, and John S. Bass, now practicing medicine at Ioin, Kan; John C. Haltacre and Lorenzo D. Key received their diplomas, the latter two after successfully practicing their profession for several years." GEMS FROM DR. CAREY'S LAKE • ERIE SPEECH. American history actually teems with the deeds of heroes and of valet, of dauntless courage and unwavering loyalty on the part of the "little brother," in the nation. Today we speak of peace, of universal peace. How can there be universal peace without universal justice? Today the American people are in mortal conflict with enemies more potent, far more dreadful, than the British fleet or armed cruisers which either must themselves be conquered or they will conquer us. Is the "big brother" really big enough for the task, for the responsibility, for the opportunity, that is his? As a true American, one who loves his country and believes in this country's greatness and goodness, the "little brother" stands here today to plead for a fair chance. We ask nothing more and will be satisfied with nothing less. We have done and are still doing our part. We have ever been loyal to the flag. No black anarchist has ever worn the attire of the banner lover. We feel that we have not had a square deal. In many states we are disfranchised because of our race, and jimcarow laws disgrace the statute books of every southern state. Efficient and trustworthy Afro-American government employees in Washington have recently been set apart, segregated from their fellows with whom they have worked together. The "little brother" feels that such segregation is unnecessary, unfair, unjust, un-American and un-Christian. And now, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the commission, thanking you in behalf of the 100 dauantless seamen who fought with Perry 100 years ago, in behalf of the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans who love and honor the flag, for this opportunity of speaking for them today, I plead with you as we celebrate we shall also determine that the most effective forces of our American life shall be turned upon injustice and unrighteousness as exhibited in events for discrimination, disfricion, dislaboration, segregation, mob violence and jimcrowism, the enemies of our national life, to the end that the day will not be far distant when white men and colored men, native and foreign born, south as well as north, shall look upon the shattered fleet of all these enemies to our domestic peace within this great republic and may with truth exclaim, "We have met the enemy and they are ours." PUBLISHERS HONOR FORMER PRESIDENT R. W. THOMPSON. Retires From Office With Full Confidence of His Fellows. The National Negro Press association showed its appreciation of the efforts of ex-President R. W. Thompson in a substantial way upon the election of his successor at the recent annual meeting held in Philadelphia. Mr. Thompson presided over the sessions of the convention with an aptitude which invited the most hearty co-operation from the members and retired with their full confidence. The fact that Mr. Thompson has devoted his time musingly to the work of the association has endeared him to the members. In order that he might have some useful article from the members as a token of their esteem a committee was appointed to purchase such a gift as would express the desires and good wishes of all concerned. Messrs. J. Finley Wilson of Baltimore and J. Thomas Harrison of Cambridge, Mass., acting for the association, purchased a gold fontain pen and a book of high literary merit. These tokens were presented to Mr. Thompson in open meeting at one of the sessions of the business league. The presentation address was delivered by J. Finley Wilson, who was followed with further remarks by the Hon. James H. Anderson, managing editor and founder of the Amsterdam News, New York. Mr. Thompson's response was in keeping with his usual brilliant and diplomatic address in dealing with such personal matters. Every session of the two days' meeting of the association was well attended, and there was not a dull period during the conduct of any of them. Real editors and newspaper men of long years of experience were in attendance, such as Editor Chris J. Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune, John H. Murphy, Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore; P. B. Young, Journal and Guide, Norfolk; James H. Anderson, Amsterdam News, New York; W. L. Porter, East Tennessee News, Knoxville; R. R. Wright, Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; W. H. Craighead, Advocate-Verdict, Harrisburg; Charles Summer Smith, Twin City Star, Minneapolis, and others, representing a total number of 126 publications. Knights Templars' Annual Conclave. The grand commandery of Knights Templars of Pennsylvania held its sixty-ninth annual conclave in Pittsburgh from Monday, Sept. 15, to Thursday, Sept. 18. The sessions were all well attended, and there were many social functions given in honor of the visitors. Right Eminent Grand Commander Sir David H. W. Keith of Altoona presided. Grand Recorder W. H. Miller filled his position at the desk with ease and ability. R. W. Tyler Prepares For Long Trip. Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor for the navy, but now national organizer for the National Negro Business league, is preparing his itinerary for an extensive trip south and west. He will go as far south as Texas and Florida and as far west as Oklahoma and possibly into the states of Washington and California. EFFORT TO SAVE OLD LANDMARK Home of Frederick Douglass Under Heavy Mortgage. URGENT APPEAL FOR FUNDS Mansion Which Once Sheltered the Illustrious Champion of Freedom For His People Neglected and Decayed. Quick Action Needed to Keep the Property From Being Sold. Washington.—Fifty years after our freedom and thirteen years after the death of the man who more than any single person contributed by his agitation to our deliverance from bondage the old home of the late illustrious Frederick Douglass rests under a heavy mortgage. The old mansion, with its furniture, books, papers, art treasures and curios which were gathered by him, is fast going to decay, and the fifteen acres of ground surrounding and belonging to the home are but a tangled mesh of weeds and rank growth of vines. Located at the top of Cedar hill, overlooking the beautiful Potomac river and the city of Washington, this home is one of the picturesque spots in the District of Columbia. The home was bequeathed to the race to be held and preserved, with its contents and its land, as a memorial to that gigantic figure who braved the mobs before the war declaring that his race should and must be freed. To those who were wont to make a pilgrimage out to Cedar hill and converse with Mr. Douglass when living and who knew of the natural and man made beauty of the old estate its present decay, its almost total abandonment to neglect, is pathetic. It suggests the question, "Has the race reverence for those who labored and suffered in order that we might be free?" If the property were put up at sale today it would bring a big sum, for Washington has grown up to and around the Douglass home, and the street cars in twenty minutes will take one from the home to the White House or to the national capitol. Unless the heavy mortgage under which the home rests is lifted soon the property, the books, papers, furniture and art treasurers which were once the pride of Mr. Douglass and which took a lifetime to gather may pass into the hands of another race. It would be a lasting disgrace were this race of 10,000,000 belongs fifty years after the achieving of their liberty, which boasts of $700,000,000 wealth, to permit this, home to pass from it, and the spot which ought to be forever preserved as a mecca and a shrine to which the Negroes of the country might go and honor the memory of its once great owner be descrated by the impious hand of Mammon. An effort now being put forth to raise sufficient money to pay off the mortgage and to put the home and grounds in rpair and make them a monument to the name and fame of Mr. Douglass and a place of reverence, the same as the home of George Washington at Mount Vernon is preserved by the white people of this country. It is figured out that if every Negro but contributed 10 cents a fund would be raised sufficient to pay off the mortgage, restore the house to its former beauty, endow the grounds with a wealth of beauty and make of it a fitting memorial to the late Frederick Douglass. The property now belongs to our people. It will not be theirs long, however, if the mortgage is not soon lifted. The trustees of the home are A. H. Grimke, Rev. F. J. Grimke, Dr. J. E. Moorland and Whitfield McKinlay of Washington, Professor W. H. Grogman of Atlanta, Ga., and Rev. E. A. Clark of Louisville, Ky. Ralph W. Tyler of Washington, former auditor for the navy and now national organizer for the National Negro Business league, has been placed in charge of a campaign to raise money to pay off the mortgage. To save his home to the race to whom it was bequeathed as a legacy is the effort being made. For 10,000,000 of people to permit this old home to pass into the hands of the impolls would be a lasting disgrace. Those Negroes who possess race pride, a reverence and respect for the memory and labors of Mr. Douglass and wish to contribute to the fund being raised to save it may communicate with Mr. Tyler at 928 T street. N. W., Washington. Every child as well as every adult ought to feel it his duty to help save the old home of Frederick Douglass, which was bequeathed to the race he served for a lifetime. A Douglass memorial certificate will be sent to each contributor. Martinique Club's Annual Concert. The Martinique club, a thrifty organization composed of members of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church in Brooklyn, will hold its third annual concert and reception Thursday evening, Oct. 5. The club wields a wholesome influence in the church and community. It aids the home church financially and is also liberal toward charitable institutions. The annual social function of the club is an important feature of its work in strengthening the membership and increasing the finances to meet the many requests for aid during the winter. Honored In Home Town at Patriotic Assemblage. LABORS AMONG THE MASSES Founder and Principal of Piney Woods Country Life School Delivers Thrilling Address For Daughters of American Revolution—Battle For Human Rights Must Continue, He Says. Marshalltown, Ia. — Lawrence C. Jones, founder and principal of the Piney Woods Country Life school near Braxton, Miss., was one of the main speakers at the annual meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution held in this town Friday, Sept. 19. Mr. Jones received his high school education here, earning his money by working at the Hotel Pilgrim. He had a room in the basement of the hotel during the four years in which he was in school. It is quite significant, therefore, that here, where he struggled up through ignorance and poverty a few years ago, he is thus honored by the wealthiest white people of the town as their guest and contributing to their thought and literary aspirations. Mr Jones organized the Piney Woods Country Life school under the pine trees of south Mississippi in 1840 without land or financial aid, but his ambition to do something to uplift his race soon attracted the attention of both white and colored people, who gradually came to his assistance. In his speech, which was listened to with close attention, Mr. Jones in part said: Ladies, Daughters American Revolution —Appearing before you today, I do so with a heart brimming over with emotion without I feel that my tongue can utter express. The American Revolution! The very name thrills the heart and spreads before the mind a wondrous picture of the past—a panoramic view of colonial days. We see the colonial mansion, the cottage and the Negro quarters, the farms and the old fashioned gardens. We see the omnipresent of the spinning wheel, the ring of the belts in the pasture, the ring of the scythe and the stir of industrial and commercial life, which was but P. A. LAWRENCE C. JONES the beginning of the prosperity and progress that have made of this the great nation today. Nowhere in the world has the spirit of liberty the same significance as in this country. From America, with that ideal of "liberty or death," has gone forth the new meaning of the old world. Beginning back in the period of 7%, coming on down to '11 and in 88%, characterized in circumstances. The tolerance characterized disturbance in Mexico is but an evidence of this feeling of liberty and the ideal of broad mindedness which give every nation or race the privilege of striving for its ideal. These are problems that no cannon can solve, situations whose adjustment lies beyond the pomp and circumstance of war, even beyond the jurisdiction and adaptations man. Since this is true it has fallen to woman to take up the burden, and among all noble women where are any more fitted to assume these duties than you, the daughters of those in whose veins flowed the fighting blood of the question? It is your birthright: it is good and true and within yourselves and within your same for all. The father's willed it thus. "For the they that want, for the they they fell, and their oath ows on the laid." was on the shoulders of the American Revolution, I stand before you today one of a race whose history, while vastly different, is strangely and strongly interwoven with that of your own. We have lived in the same country: we have heard the same drums and bugles; we have thrilled the flutter of the same flag; our people have occupied the of the mighty; mine have seized the lowly seats, yet determined and sorrows there have been through the years many golden threads of sympathy, kind regard and fellow feeling, and now, just rounding out the fifteenth year of freedom, we feel that we have much to thank you for. We expect to have more to thank you for, and dentally, but in the faith that not a viva vision or ancient dream, there are many others us who hope to see the future, our country, your country, will have much to thank us for. We wish to be contributors, producers, helpers. We wish to do more than we have ever done. But this is the ideal of those who have had a fighting chance. You will rejoice to hear that it was a woman with these high ideals, Miss Emily Howland, who extended the first helping hand to the little school in the woods. You will learn to know another colonial daughter, Mrs. James G. Berryhill, who was the first lady in our own fair town to lead a hand to this same cause. WACO'S CAPABLE EDUCATOR. Mrs. M. E. Moore as Teacher and Leader in Good Movements. Waco, Tex.-Thirty-four years in the public schools of Waco is the record of Mrs. Mary E. Moore, who is regarded as one of the best primary teachers in the entire south and who is foremost and active in everything that means the uplift and betterment of her race in this section of the country. Mrs. Moore was born here, and it is interesting to know that she received her early school training in the public schools of this place under Peter H. Townsend of New York, superintendent of the schools here for two years. Mrs. Moore's mother made Cincinnati her home in the days of slavery and was set free. It was in Cincinnati that Mrs. Moore also attended school under one of the greatest educators of the race, Professor Peter H. Clark. Graduating from the Cincinnati high school, she soon found her way back to Texas, where she entered the work as a teacher in the public schools. It was in 1875 that she married A. J. Moore of Detroit, Mich. They lived happily together until Professor Moore's death in 1905. She owns a beautiful home in Waco and other property that is rented. She is devoted to the schoolroom and is loved by the little boys and girls. Mrs. Moore is an active church worker. She organized the choir in the New Hope Baptist church and raised money to purchase the first organ for the church. She is now an active member of St. Paul A. M. E. church and is interested in the work of Paul Quinn college, the school conducted by the A. M. E. church in Texas. During a rally for the college two years ago she raised $800. For over a quarter of a century Mrs. Moore has been connected with the Household of Ruth, a branch of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and for twenty-four years has been one of the prime factors in the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, which is an auxiliary to the United Brothers of Friendship. In the Order of the Eastern Star she has filled every office in the grand chapter, and in the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten she is national grand treasurer. She is also connected with the Court of Colanthe of the Knights of Pythias. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT FOR CITIZENS OF NEWARK. Educational Conference Program Includes Discussion of Many Topics.

LITTLE ALEXANDER'S PART. Centennial Committee Selects the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey to Represent Afro-Americans on Program at Important National and Patriotic Celebration. Behavior of the Colored Seamen. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Chicago.-The high honor of being selected to represent the colored citizens of the country at the recent celebration of the centennial of the battle of Lake Erie was conferred upon the Rev. A. J. Carey, Ph. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church of this city. Only two names were presented to the committee on speakers for this part of the program, that of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the Rev. A. J. Carey, the latter being chosen. It is possible that it is not generally known that 100 of the 430 seamen who fought with Perry were colored men. Dr. Carey brings out this fact and also calls attention to what is generally known—that colored men have fought with bravery and heroism in all the wars for the protection and preservation of our country and have won the right to a square deal. He makes a strong appeal to the American people to turn the most effective forces of American life upon injustice and unrighteousness. Dr. Carey's speech is a message to the American people from the great body of intelligent Afro-American citizens, who are not satisfied with present conditions. He pleads for a fair chance for the race and says, "We ask nothing more; will be satisfied with nothing less." Dr. Carey in part said: When on that September afternoon the unconquered Perry, fresh from the deck of the battered Lawrence, drove his pennant to the Niagara's masthead, cut his way through the lines of the British squadron, dismantled the Detroit, shattered the Queen Charlotte and forced to unconditional surrender the entire British fleet he lifted above the clouds to shine in immortal glory not only his own forever honored name, but the names also of the Lawrence and the 430 dauntless seamen who could die, but never could give up a ship. We gather here on this historic spot 100 years after the battle's over and the victory won to celebrate, to commemorate, to rejoice, not so much in the victory of arms as in the triumphs of peace and to learn, if we may, some lessons that will tend toward making ours indeed a universal peace and our land in fact, as in name, the land of justice and of freedom. Historians have written, poets have sung and artists have painted in glowing colors the stories of Perry and Elliot, of Yarnal and Brooks, of Dobbins and Dr. Parsons. And yet somehow there is no character in all that thrilling drama that has for me a greater fascination than that of Alexander, Perry's little brother. I delight to read of his love and devotion, his loyalty and heroism; how he was with Perry at the start from Hartford, amid the rigors from Hartford to Albany, from Albany to the lakes. He was at his side when shot and shell tore away rigging, masts and bulwarks, resulting in a carnage unparalleled in naval warfare; with him as he passed over the port gangway with his fighting flag under his arm; with him in the little boat while round shot and grape churned the water on every side; with him when lightly he stepped on the Niagara's deck; with him when the intrepid but ill fated Barclay pulled down the British fighting flag and displayed the flag of truce; with him when he penned the matchless message. "We have met the enemy and they are ours." And do you ask me why the story of Alexander, the story of the 100 colored seamen and the "little brother's" loyalty, heroism and devotion possesses so great a charm to me? Perhaps this is why: The loyalty, devotion and love for his country of the "little brother in black" have never righteously been questioned. Like Alexander, he has been with you, his bigger brother, from the beginning until now; with you at Boston and at Bunker Hill, where Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem and a dozen sable hued shed first blood for American independence. And who can forget the sixties, the horrible years of the civil war, when brother fought against brother, father against son and our glorious nation was rent with internecine strife? How dark were those days! How imperiled was the Union! Yet when Lincoln's call came forth from Washington—a call for volunteers, a call for men who would bare their breasts to shot and shell for the reuniting of a severed nation—the "little brother" answered, "We're coming, Father Abraham 200,000 strong." Thirteen justrous stars were falling from the folds of Old Glory, falling into the dust of secession and rebellion. But beneath these falling stars nearly 200,000 colored soldiers marched side by side with their "bigger brother" caught those falling stars on the points of bristling bayonets, plinned them back within the folds of the star spangled banner, sealed them with their blood and marched on, singing the "Union Forever!"

You simply set a "Composite" range—and a Garbage-Burning-Kitchen-Heater side by side. As the illustration shows, these two modern appliances are built to work together and to occupy very little space. With the "Composite" range itself, you can cook the different foods that make up a dinner, all at once with one fire burning. With a little 15 x 16 inch heater installed alongside the range, you can keep your kitchen warm and comfortable in the coldest winter weather. Also the gas fire-starting-blast in the fire box will actually enable you to burn and turn into heat, much of the rubbish and garbage you now carry out in the cold and wet to the back alley.
