Bishop Henry M. Turner is dead. A great oak has fallen. In the evening of his life, death stole quietly upon him and his soul has gone to meet Payne, Arnett, Brown, Wayman, Salters, Dickerson, Grant, Lampton and Gaines. Bishop Turner died suddenly, May 8 in Canada from a stroke of paralysis. He was Bishop of Canada and was there on his journey. He was $3 years of age, was found on the docks near the custom house in a dazed condition by a patrolman and was removed to Hotel Dien, where it was found he was suffering from a stroke of paralysis. He died shortly afterwards. Man of Ability. Bishop Turner was a man of ability. He was an associate of Abraham Lincoln, Fred Duglish, Bishop Payne and Booker T. Washington. He was a remarkable speaker, a deep thinker and a student and known as an astronomer of no mean ability. He was the first man of the race to be appointed chapman in the United States army, and came coming from Lincoln. At one time he was a member of the Georgia legislature. Lawyer and Minister. Bishop Turner studied law at the outbreak of the war. His education was gained by self-perseverance. He was a medical university in early life and studied physiology, hygiene and astronomy.

The SONG RECITAL GRAND SUCCESS Native Poetry in Soul of the Race Is Given Expression—Mme. E. Azalia Hackley Gives Grand Concert—2,000 People Present—Many State Officials. (By Staff Correspondent.) Springfield, Ill., May 14. The native poetry in the soul of the race was given adequate expression last night at the state arsenal, where 2,000 young men and women sang folk songs and gave themselves completely over to the joy of singing. The festival was presented under the auspices of the Springfield Colored Women's club, and was directed by Mine. E. Azala Hackley. The quality of harmony peculiar to the race and characterized by a sort of plaintive beauty completely charmed the 2,000 listeners and especially the white portion of the crowd, of which there were many. Nothing of the sort attempted last night has ever been done in this city, so far as is commonly remembered, and its success seems to indicate that the festival may be made an annual affair. The program had in it throughout a strain of the religious element, most of the choral numbers being antembs from church hymnology. This the leaders claim, is the true folk singing of the race, and reflects their nature in a way not observed in the minstrel songs from the amusement platform. The solo work was done by persons, all of whom reside in the city, and its quality, accuracy and adherence were a credit to persons of greater reputation.

STEADY EMPLOYMENT NOW. Many Young Men Who Worked at This Hotel Are Now Dentists, Doctors and Lawyers—Member of Defender Staff Once Hopped Bells There. (Special to Chicago Defender.) (Special to Chicago Defender) Milwaukee, Wis., May 14—Ten years ago the Planktonin House, the most widely known hotel in the Northwest, employed Afro-Americans in the hotel. As the years passed all over the hotel. As the years passed the heads and managers began to let them on until their places were filled by Greeks and other foreigners. Last week there was a turn in affairs and race men were put in the wash rooms and Greeks let out. It is understood that the foreigners did not give the service and were not reliable. It was understood that their mode of doing business was to the hotel and they were displeased with it. It is further asserted that if the race men "make good" in the wash rooms, waiters will again be employed in the dining and grill rooms. Good Days of Miles. In the good old days of Capt. Miles, the head waiter, more than fifty men were employed. He was there for more than twenty-five years and had the honor of serving many of America's friends and foreign potentates.

PAGE FOUR THE NORTH AND SOUTH ON THE RACE QUESTION Stirring Up the Problem in One Section and Attempting to Solve it in the Other—Near Riots in the North—Peace Meetings in the South. (Special to the Chicago Defender). Tuskegee, Ala., May 14—From Boston and New York come reports of near riots because of the exhibition of "The Birth of the Nation" picture films. In contrast to the racial friction that is being engendered in these cities by this means, it is refreshing to note that in Houston, Texas, away down in the southernmost part of the lower South, there is being held this week a rally to urge people to consider ways of solving the race problem. The Southern Sociological Congress which was organized at Nashville, Tenn., in 1912, is in purpose and spirit an effort to grapple with the social problems that confront the South. Its membership comprises the leading white and colored people of the South. Since its organization special attention has been given to the race problem. As a part of the constitution adopted the Nashville meeting it was set forth that the congress is to work "for the solving of the race question in a spirit of helpfulness to the negro and of equal justice to both races." How Congress Works. The congress is divided into six departments; Public Health, Courts and Prisons, Child Welfare, Associated Charities, the Church and Social Service and Race Relations. The Race Relations section has at each annual meeting proved to be one of the most important sections in this section between three and four hundred white and colored people assemble and for three days discuss in a spirit of harmony and helpfulness methods of co-operation in solving the larger problems of their relations to each other. Health, housing conditions, sanitation, crime, education, recreation, welfare and economic programs are discussed in a spirit of constructive co-operation between the races. The 1915 session of the congress is given over entirely to "The Conservation of Health" which is considered under six main heads: Public Health Departments, Moral Health, Health of the Civil and Economic Programs as the Conserver of Social Health, and Health and Race Relations. The topics considered in the section on Health and Relations are: "A Survey of Progress for the Year," "The Negro in Relation to Sanitation," "The Causes of Unusual Mortality Among Negroes," "Recreation and Health in Negro Schools," and "The School as a Center for a Health Campaign." "Health Problems of the Negro Church," "City Housing of Negroes in Relation to Health," "The Negro Woman and the Health Problem," "The Heath and the Negro and the South's Labor Problem," "is the Negro's Duty to the Duties of Race Prosperity," "Hope, Essential for Moral and Physical Health." Meeting Should Do Good. The result of the Houston meeting of the Southern Sociological Congress will no doubt be far reaching and will be of great benefit both to the Negro and the South in that in this discussion of health conditions, the South will be brought out and called to the attention of the South in a much larger and more comprehensive way than has heretofore been done. It will be impossible for three or four hundred white and colored people from all parts of the country to have three days' discussion of so vital a subject as health without these people going back to their respective localities and seeing that health conditions among Negroes are bettered. Thus while on one hand in some sections race prejudice is being stirred up, on the other, a culture attuned leading white and colored people of the South to solve this intricate and many-sided problem.

The report of the presiding elder was discussed by Dr. G. C. Clemett of the publishing house at Charlotte, N. C., who said he was glad to hear the presiding elder urge the pastors to use their own hymn books and literature. He said the pastors were one of the connection's best in the long-standing house of the race. In the evening Bishop Clinton delivered his episcopal address. The address was one of the most notable ever heard before the conference. Bishop Clinton made a review of the year's work and said that three churches had been built in the year. He told the pastors to avoid the church's discrimination. He made recommendation for worshout ministers and said there ought to be a fund for this purpose. The bishop scored the liquor traffic and made a plan for a saloonless nation for 1920. He called attention to the importance of the revival movement for 50,000 people who were oppressed by 40,000 at their last meeting. Speaking discrimination, he said: "We believe it to be the duty of the country to provide for our; security. We are men and citizens. Manhood and merit should be the test by which our standard is to be judged. We should have an opportunity to work out our destinies. All citizens should be treated alike."

W. Clinton Presides at Annual Zion Meeting—Other Noted Men of the Connection Present. By Cleveland G. Allen. New York City, May 14—The forty-second annual session of the New Jersey conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, of which Bishop G. W. Clinton is the presiding officer, and which held its session in Sonerville, N. J., at the St. Thomas A. M. E. Zion Church, of which Rev. W. D. Robeson is pastor, was one of the most notable sessions in the history of that body. The conference met the week of April 28 and the session Sunday evening, May 2 when the women were read. It was a record-makers event, and before the conference adjourned it went down on record as opposing discrimination, segregation, lynching, and all other injustices from which the Negro suffers in this country. The conference advocated a saloonless nation for 1920, passed a law for the woman suffrage for the state of New York, and plan that would assist the worm-out ministers of the connection, urged the connections to use its own hymns and literature, and discussed every vital matter of interest to the conference and church. The conference sustained its reputation for being one of the most business-like conferences of the church by closing its session than usual. Bishop Clinton, the dignified and well-trained churchman, presided over the destinies of the conference with imperiality, and the great Zion churchman was never seen in a more optimistic frame of mind. He was assisted by Bishop J. C. Cladain of Philadelphia. Together with these two bishops, he represented general officers of the church were attested. They were Drs. J. C. Dancy of the church extension society, I. W. Kylees, editor of the Quarterly Review, G. C. Clement, of the Star of the Mary, and Mrs. F. Clarkton, who represented Dr. F. S.

Cullis of Chicago, Professor W. O. Carrington of Livingston College, and H. J. Anderson, presiding elder of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. The members of the St. Thomas Church made preparation for the comfort of the visiting ministers and delegates. The members of the church delegates were very encouraging and told the condition of the churches in the district. This was followed by the report of the presiding elder, Rev. R. W. H. Coffee. Dr. Coffee in his report urged the pastor to develop strong homes, as homes were the background of everything. He made a plea for better prepared Sunday school teachers and urged the ministers to use the church books and literature. Speaking of the spiritual and financial growth of the district, he said that over 500 members had been added to the district, 361 converts, and that $4,812 had been raised. He praised the pastor of the Patterson Church, of which was, during the year had added many who helped the church and laid plans for the erection KENTRAL TRUST COMPANY BY INDUSTRIES THE CHICAGO DEFENDER NICKELS DIMES If Your Salary Were Reduced One Dollar a Week You Would Get Along and Your Employer Would Save the Dollar.

Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book—a message to us from the dead—from human souls whom we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away, and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, to speak to us, amuse us, vivify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.—Charles Kingley.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER 50th Anniversary of By A. N 50th Anniversary of the Negroes' Freedom By A. N. FIELDS The Negro of the United States has been free just a little over fifty years. Into these few years he has crowded more of social progress and civilization than any other known people have done in a similar period in the whole history of the human race. And while there is still a growing evidence of race prejudice in many unexpected quarters, the Negro has, nevertheless, much to be thankful for, and has many reasons to ask his white fellow-citizens to join with him in making the forthcoming celebration a success in the city. We commemorate the greatest civil triumphs fostered in behalf of human freedom In a number of other states a similar effort has been attempted, and without some appreciable degree of success. It has, however, fallen to the lot of Illinois, the home of Lincoln, who has represented the ones of that sinister emperor to attention of the people and the country to what the Negro has accomplished in art, literature, science, wealth, industry, and thrift in his fifty years of freedom. In order that these facts might be properly established, success and achievements fittingly set the tone for proposals to aid the Negro in holding this fifteenth anniversary celebration of their freedom. The commissioners appointed by His Excellency to carry on this tremendous work, covering the vast variety and activity of Negro thought and efforts in order that this affair mayclipse any effort of like nature. They have succeeded in bringing unto their aid the best vein of thought of both the leading Negroes and white people of the country. In fact, all lovers of humanity, all lovers of race achievement and advancement, of every race, are bending every possible effort that success may attend this celebration, and that from it the race NOTED MEN PRAIS THOMA NOTED MEN PRAISE THOMAS WALLACE SWANN Residence of the Bishop of the Third Episcopal District of the A.

THE HIGH-BROWN We have opened "The High-Brown" display room No. 5, at 3519 State Street, for the purpose of showing you the ORIGINAL HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER as there are many imitations on the market sold under such names as "Brown Face Powder," "Brown Skin," and similar names. HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER was originated by us—we have the name copyrighted in the United States Patent Office, and it is the first and only face powder ever made especially for colored people. Only first class articles are imitated—the very fact that so many imitate our articles is proof in itself that ours is of a superior quality. When you buy a face powder for a "High-Brown" that has not the name Overton-Hygienic on it, you have been imposed upon; for you have bought an imitation, which is inferior to our original "High-Brown." See that our name is on every box you buy. Also Manufacturers of Ro-Zol Face Bleach, Aida Overton Walker Hair Pomade and Other Toilet Articles. CILGRINS' BEST the Negroes' Freedom F. FIELDS and nation itself may take new inspiration for the cause of truth and justice, and that it may result through this exhibition of the Negro's achievements a complete emancipation. The evidence of the people's independence and industry is to be found largely in their own effort in business enterprises. Chicago, itself, sets a fitting example, and is of itself an exhibition of their thrift and energy. Their business activities covering sixty-three lines of trade and endeavor, ably and well represented in all the lines of profession, with lawyers and physicians second to none in the country, is it therefore but fitting that Chicago is to be the place where the Negroes in the country should come to celebrate their freedom and this attended result. No Negro who stands for race-pride, advancement and achievement can afford to withhold his support from this effort to prove to the world how his time has been utilized in the past half century. This exposition is calculated in the achievement of his country in the achievements of his country, which cannot be otherwise attained. Much credit is due Gov. Dunne through whose instrumentality, aided by other interested parties, for the appropriation of the first twenty-five thousand dollars by the Illinois legislature for this celebration. It is, however, of infinite importance that those who are charged with the responsibility of this exposition be given aid and support to secure the appropriation which they now seek, that their efforts might be successful in carrying out the plans now laid out by the commission for the successful termination of the same. It is to be hoped that every member of the legislature who believes in the struggle and ambition of the Negro as exemplified in his fifty years of experience will at this time and make possible the completion of his work.

CLARK ADDRESSES LEAGUE W. B. ("Bat") Masterson on the Boasted Slogan of the American People as Applied to Jack Johnson—The Mann White Slavery Act. The American people like fair play. In fact the American government was born of a protest against discrimination. Pretty much all of independence to the date of the latest proclamation of political rights it has been assumed that whatever else might be said of us, we believed in the equality of man before the law. It seems to us, therefore, that if this country is as big as we would like to have the peoples of the earth believe it to be; if its courts are just in their interpretation and application of the laws; if the poor and the unfortunai­nal are assured of an even break with the rich and powerful, Jack Johnson, the defeated champion heavyweight pugilist, should receive consideration at the hands of the federal authorities in Chicago. a German—HE WAS NOT A WHITE MAN, and it is a white man's war. The white man has not been part of the American government. He has deserved the white man's court and he has received it; but, having he can hardly be expected to fight the white man's battles. He would have been a fool to go to war. Instead he sailed for this hemisphere, and in time he met Willard and his Waterloo. But with the thrift that is a chara­teristic, he feathered his nest. He has more money today than he had when he left Chicago, and he is in the war of reaping a rich harvest from fight with the enemy. He would return to us as a chastened John son. His order of mentality and his temperament not admit of a bait that he will be much more desirable as a citizen now than he was five Johnson is a black man, and he is an undesirable citizen. We hold no brief for him, and certainly refuse to excuse his conduct as an individual with no self-restraint, as a representative of a race that he does not represent, and upon which he has brought shame and humiliation. He deserves to be ostracized by both Negroes and whites because of his immorality, his flagrant and brazen defiance of decency and convention. But that is a social question. It is safe to say that the pugilist has not POCOED his society upon any self-respecting white man or self-respecting man member of his. Such a thing would be impossible. Every man is a social law unto himself. He may choose his own company. Johnson has met with our unqualified condemnation for his association with white women. In our opinion his pose as a black Lothario, whose very grossness appeals to a certain perverted type of females of the Caucasian race, is as disgusting an example of vanity and lust as can well be imagined. But Johnson was and is an American citizen, entitled to as much freedom as he can, just as the best and bravest among it. Not Johnson who is on trial, but our institutions, when he fails to get an "even break," About two years ago Jack Johnson was indicted by a federal grand jury at Chicago for alleged violation of the so-called Mann white slave act. In due time he was tried, convicted and sentenced to one year in Joliet. He might as well have been convicted of horse-stealing or picking a pocket. There was as much evidence to justify either of these charges as there was to justify the other. The case was appealed, and the Negro champion was released from custody by furnishing a bond of $30,000—bail that was excessive as ball is usually fixed by American courts. He seemed to realize what he was up against. Anyway he made his escape from Chicago disguised as a Negro baseball player and made his way to Europe, where he took up his residence—in Paris, where he remained until the world war drove him out. Johnson has been criticized for not staying in the war zone and for not attaching himself to one of the armies in some capacity. Why this should be the case? He was not a Frenchman, he was not an Englishman, or a Slay, or RACE MEN OPPOSE SHOWING THE NIGGER Chicago Defender Arouses Members of Race to Protest Against the Showing of Pictures Tending to Arouse Race Hatred. (By Fred H. Gresham.) FAIR PLAY IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS a German—HE WAS NOT A WHITE MAN, and it is a white man's war. The white man has not been particularly considerate of Johnson. He has deserved the white man's contempt, and he has received it; but, having it, he can hardly be expected to fight the white man's battles. He would have been a fool to go to war. Instead he has received it, and in time he will met Millard and his friend. But with the thrift that is a characteristic, he feathered his nest. He has more money today than he had when he left Chicago, and he is in the way of reaping a rich harvest from fight pictures. It is not at all likely he would return to us a chastened Johnson. His order of mentality and his temperament do not admit of a belief that he will be much more desirable as a citizen now than he was five years ago. That is not the point. The prince factor in the expiration of Johnson is its effect upon our own people and our laws. It sets a dangerous precedent, for. Johnson Was Not Guilty of White Slavery. His conviction, we believe—and we followed the case closely during the trial—was brought about by the testimony of a dissolute woman, Belle Schreiber. This woman went upon the witness stand and testified that Johnson induced her to come to Chicago to testify in the trial there she was compelled to prostitute herself and earn money, which she gave to Johnson. Without her testimony the case would have fallen flat. Bell Schreiber, it must be remembered, was the "woman scorned" in the case. Is it doubted, did she testify truthfully? We have yet to find the intelligent man who believes she did. Johnson has a few friends in this country, and a great many enemies, but it may be said with all truth that the worst enemy the Negro has anywhere is not willing to believe that part of the testimony of the Schreiber with compelled her to charged Johnson with compelling her to earn money for him by imperial practices. Those who know Johnson best draw the line at this charge. His very vanity, his pose as the "leading representative of his race," his swagger, his self-centered partiality for the spotlight, all cry out against such a supposition. * * * Johnson has the same right to the protection of the law in this country that the white man has. There is supposed to be no discrimination along racial lines. If he did what Bell Schreier charges him with doing, he is guilty. If she swore falsely, he is entitled to his liberty, however offensive his attitude may be in a general way, and the dignity of the law appears to demand that the verdict be set aside. The Negro is no longer champion. We have said that he will not come back chastened. And he will not. But in the nature of things he will come back shorn of much of his influence on his own race and upon white satellites who revolve around success. His power for evil is greatly curtailed, and for this reason if for no other he would be on his good behavior.-W. B. ("Bat") Masterson in the New York Morning Telegraph.

YOUNG MOREHOUSE DEFEATS ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN 11 INNING GAME Atlanta, Ga., May 14.—(Special.)—It was a great game at Forgehouse meet the Crimson and Gray of Atlanta University in the second game of the season. Nance was sent in to do the twirling for Forgehouse and pitched a good game. Jefferson was the selection of Atlanta University and he was a good showing against the hard hitter. The visitors put up a hard fight, bowing flashes of all form. With the score 5 to 1 in Morehouse's favor in the ninth, Ira Holder was called in as a pinch hitter and sent a terrific drive to right for a homer, thus tying the score. After two more innings of hard play neither side was able to score and night brought an end to the contest. Lewis and McKay starred at the hat for Morehouse, getting three hits each, two being circuit clouts. The score: R.H.E. Atlanta Univ.— 1 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 0 —6 9 1 Morehouse— 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 —5 11 1 Batteries—Jefferson and Maxwell; Nance and Fisher. Morehouse 5, Morris Brown 4. With Bill Kennedy pitching air-tight bails in pinches, the Morehouse Tigers met the strong Morris Brown Giants and won a 5 to 4 victory, thus vanquishing the proud champions of two seasons. Morehouse had vivid recollections of past disasters when Morris Brown was going at 1.2 top speed and showed little mercy Wiley was sent in to face them, for hits rattled off the Tigers' bats in riotous profusion and he was banished after the fourth because when once the Tigers had tasted blood they were hard to check. With the scor. 15 to 1 in favor of the Maroon, "Cyclone Williams" essayed to land the contest into the column; but while he pitched masterly, the team had a handiwork for the veteran to overcome. The whole Morehouse team played a great game, giving jam-up support. The Morris Brown nine played the game until the last man was out. This game marks the first defeat that has been given the Morris Brown aggregation by any college in this city for two years. Score by innings: R.H.E.

Last Sunday witnessed another good game. It was an ideal day except a little chilly. A large crowd was out—a double header game. The first game was a long drawn out one, and the second game was late finishing, but everybody stayed who could. The game was a "barrel of fun. The teams were oh so nice." The time. The umpiring was good, with one or two questionable decisions on first base in favor of the home team. When there is a close run the decision is to be given in favor of the runner. In the first game, for the Giants, "Slim" Taylor pitched and did clever work, Capt. Wright had an indemnible enemy, the sun, which caused him to drop several "beauties." The Sox did fine field catching, Poston caught five inning, Jones second, Game 2, second inning, Poston in the box, Jones catching. This was a fine game. Poston struck out 7, and S. s. struck out 6. One double play was made by either side. Canslor and Jones did clear work in this game. No ripples except two decisions on first. The rosters, led by Chiefs Washington and Gibbs, awoke made an onslaught began. Taylor made a strong cry, "Hit it, hit it," and crying, scoring Taylor. The game was exciting throughout. It will not be amiss to start the games at 2:30, so as to get out earlier every Sunday.

PROCTOR LIFE AND OPPORTUNITY. — Men have always claimed that that great thing happens, known as opportunity, comes once, but this is not absolutely true, because a man has failed to grasp one chance in his life, should not be alert for another one. Perhaps the next one may not be exactly the same, for it is not the lack of opportunity which men suffer from so much difficulty. For it is not the lack of many kinds of opportunity, and each kind has its seakers. There are opportunities which each of these who desire it, and yet the big opportunity which all men seek is opportunity to be happy and enjoy life. If it is the opportunity to do good which is desired, there are many poor, brittle and young people.

If 1S AN UNDISPUTED FACT that the Pullman porter must he paid for his tahor that he may tive and support, if needs be, his family. Whether the Pullman Company ‘or the general public should lo this supporting is a horse of another eolor. Up to the present time porters have been receiving that munificent salary of $27.30 per month. Ht doesn’t take much of a mathematician to figure out how he can live comfortably on that amount, especially if Wi is married and has a family. To start with he should he able to get a small flat for about thirty dollars, food and clothing, at their present prices, undoubtedly will cost a few cents more, and if he cares to take « street car tide, buy an ice cream sola or tke in a movie. all he'll have to do.is to mort- sage his furniture, borrow from Peter to pay Paul or some simple thing like that to raise the funds, Just how he did these things the Putman Company never knew and cared less. The general public with their liheral system of tipping came to the rescue and made it possible for these young men to carn a decent living. Now the fed- eral commission on industrial relations are probing into working con- Gitions and Robert Todd Lincoln, the surviving son of Abraham Lin- col and chairman of the hoard of directors of the Pullman Company, appeared before then and confessed that he regards the Pullman sys- tem of employment as wrong, but he blames the public and not the company for the existence of the system. He thinks the company has been a benefactor to the race but intends to bring the question of wages up before the next meeting of the directing hoard of the Pullman Company with a view of having them increased. “There are two ways of looking at this benefactor proposition, the porter was given em- ployment not especially hecause he was colored, but because he could render the service required at a much lower wage than would have to he paid, perhaps, a white porter. ‘There is nothing especially elevating about the work, auud absolutely no advancement. Tt gives employment to hundreds of our young men, it is true, and were it not for the tips the wages paid would tempt and almost compel many to be dishonest in order to live. ‘That the matter is being thrashed out by those in au- thority is gratifying to note, and the porter cannot help but benefit in the long run.

An investigation imo the conditions in the Harlem district of New York City disclosed the fact first of all that a large per cent of the colored residents attempt to maintain « higher standard of living than their economic opportani- ties warrant. And what is true of New York in this regard is true of Chicago and every other big city. ‘The apartments “turned over” to our race are generally of the old style, one room connected to the ‘other in railroad train fashion, with no hallway, and generally many of the rooms opening out into a court often recking with filth and nauseating odors. ‘The sunlight if it finds its way into one of the rooms is doing remarkably well. The apartments in New York, as a rule, are imposing structures and well built save from a health standpoint. Good and bad people are mixed indiscriminately in the block, aud the roomer is the “angel” who usually makes it possible for the head of the house to meet the rent collector on the first of the month-with a smiling face. Privacy is almost out of the qusetion and it is a shame to be forced by bitter circumstances to live under the most hateful and vicious conditions, paying exorbitant rates for uninhabitable or at least undesirable dwellings, in insanitary surroundings and in an atmosphere that breeds immorality. Back to the farm is the remedy, but we cannot all be farmers.

THIS FROM THE PITTSBURGH LEADER has a little mean- ing all its Own and needs no comment: “The testimony of Robert T. Lincoln, son the President who liberated 5,000,000 black men, women and children, that the Pullman wage system is one of the strongest uplifts for the Negro race, is astonishing, unless one moves over and gets the younger Lincoln's viewpoint. It doesn’t take much to un- derstand that his vision of the Negro is somewhat differeft from that of his distinguished sire. But the climax of Lincoln's testimony was the franls admission that it is the Pullman Company which is the actwal ineneficiary of the tipping system—not the Negro porters. Concep: tions of the uplift where Inmankind is concerned, instead of hogs and cattle, which have a cash surrender value, naturally differ. But it is 8 unique view which describes a system of wages which force the worker to depend upon tips to supply the necessities of life. If it is the strongest uplift to pay men wages so low that it is impossible to support life upon them, we seem to be at the wrong end when any other course is adopted. For, if wages so low that the worker must rely upon charity to reach a living basis is uplift, then the industrial world has about arrived at the highest point in the curve of improve- ment in social conditions. Usually the ery of the Lincoins is that charity is an evil in that it makes paupers of its beneficiaries. Yet, here is this son of a great human man deseribing a wage system that compels its workers, whether they want to or not, fo actually depend upon charity while doing normally useful labor. ‘The uplift seems to have some indiscreet friends.” THE USE OF SLANG. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LOATHE TO ADMIT.IT there is some virtue in sling, and the habit of using it has become so fixed upon a great majority of us, that its use even by those who pose as heing overly proper, is taken as a matter of course. There is no get- ting around the fact that certain so-called slang words are more ex- pressive than many long sentences, and in this day and time of hustle and bustle, when every moment seems to count, we hail with joy any- thing that smacks of brevity, Anyone can verify the fact that the best language in a smoking compartment, on a hotel veranda, at a ball gam, theater or a bont’s deck is apt to be that which leans heavily on slang. We say “it's a peach, or it's rotten,” as the case may be, and the world knows your sentiments immediately. Some slang is vulgar and has no plice in our speech, but there are certain words and ex- pressions that have come and come to stay. Tn comparison with other things done daily to the English language injecting refined slang—it there is such a thing—is & blessing in disguise.

THE’ MOST EFFICIENT SCHOOL in all the list of eduen- tional institutions in Texas is the colored normal school at Prairie View. It is the old story, those who try to learn and realize the neces- sity of learning, are the ones who make the most progress.

The War in Europe, Which Is'the White Man’s Lust for Empire, May Soon Be Matched in America by the White Man’s Lust for Gold. FS NN Ene ARE AMLING CALASTROPAE incident to the war in Europe is the sinking of the Lusitania, But what a hue and ery is made in America because something less than two hun- dred citizens of this country lost their lives! What-business had these citizens aboard a foreign vessel carrying contraband material of war? What business had the government at Washington, if they knew this, to permit them to embark, or to let the ship clear port at New York since, as was said, she carried guns and was listed as a man of war? Certainly in reply to Germany's declaration to mine the coust of Eng- land did President Wilson answer that we should, hold them to a strict accountability regarding rights of-neutrals, but the neutrals did not regard their own rights when they deliberately placed their own lives in such danger. The Eitel was a German vessel and was interned at Newport News, having entered a neutral port, ‘The Lusitania was an English vessel and carrying guns, why also was not she interned? Military expediency prompted the Germans to torpedo the Lusitania; from their viewpoint the war material she carried was intended to de- stroy the lives of countless German soldiers. ‘There seems ta he some logic in the German contention. She mined the coast of Great Britain, because Great Britain was attempting to starve out the German sation, So much for the doctrine “All's fair in love and war.” But can we, a Americans, be fair in judgment in this Europen controversy? Perhaps 50, but only by’ sitting tight and not rocking the boat with emotional and prejudiced opinions leaning to either side. Since the incident has happened attention should only be called to facts which may lead up to another horror. To be neutral means to be neutral and keep our mouths closed. We prophesy that this incident will pale into insig- nificance in light of other calamities which will befall Americans before the war is ended. They are too headstrong and daring in promoting schemes for gain in Mexico and Europe to ever be guided by strictest ‘morality and neutrality. The war in Europe, which is THE WHITE MAN'S LUST FOR EMPIRE, may soon be matched in America by the WHITE MAN'S LUST FOR GOLD. Ever and forever has the CLOCK TICKED OFF THE MINUTES AND MOMENTS LEAD- ING TO A HIGE2%OON in the affairs of these nations who tne righteously dominf the: peoples of this-earth, Perhaps ‘tis almost the beginning of the end. We must ask the GOD WHO PRESIDES OVER THE DESTINY OF ALL MEN WHAT HOUR IS THE CLOCK STRIKING NOW? If the twentieth century is to be the high noon of the white races who dominate all other peoples through their might, unmindful of right and justice, HOW SOON will the CLOCK of TIME STRIKE the hour of SUNSET when their DE- CLINE will have been ordained? ‘The genius of nations in what man- ner different from the genius of individuals?

THE GOOD OUT OF NAZARETH By RALPH W: TYLER It is an old saying—as old as the Bible Mtself—"No good ean come out of Nazareth.” Tt is frequently claimed by many of us upon whom is visited Segregation that no good can come out of segrexation. Last August 1 visited the census office to secure some in- formation from Robert Pelham and Charles B. Hall, two clerks in that office. I was pained to note that these vo offcient and unusually bright and clever government employes, along with a few others, were segregated off in the southeast ‘corner of the room they occupled—a safe distance from te white clerks. [assumed at once that Mr. Harris, the southern director of the census bureau, was thus carry: ing out the administration's known volley of segregating the race when: ever possible, Bob Pelham, hailing from Detroit, where black 1s’ as good as white, and white was never any hetter than black, has always beon an avowed enemy of segregation and an avowed antiWasbingion man merely for the reason that he could not recon- eile his Michigan ideas on equality with he doctor's Idea of presumed stooping to conquor. Michigan never produced a brighter member of the Face than Bob Pelham. ‘There is orig: inality in him that constantly gives new suggestions. And there never was & more contentious human being de Yeloped within the Uorders of the Wolverine State than Bob Pelham, He fg always “from Missouri,” and you must always “"show" him to convinee im When I noted that. these colored clorks in the census office were sesre- gated, and that Bob Pelham was one Of them, 1 marveled that he did not Febel. But as we grow older we be- conic a trifle more conservative and our reasoning faculties work a bit more sinoothly. Twenty years ago Bob Pelham would have resigned rather than be segregated. But Mr. Pelham now, even though his brain Is perhaps more active and fertite than ever, bas crossed the meridian of lite, and 18 now considerably more conservative than ho was when, witetess and ebild- less, he directed the destinies of the long sine suspended Detrolt Plain- dealer.” Charles Hall, a produet of Mlinois, state In which the race enjoys more Freedom than in any state west of the Alleghenies, Is much lke Pelham tn his ideas of equality and a fair, square “EDITOR’S MAIL Civie Pride.
