THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 28 IN UNION THERE IS STRength HIGH IDEALS OF MASONIC ORDER PRINCE HALL AS PIONEER. Spirit of Brotherhood Which Pervades the Ranks of Time Honored Society Extalled—How the First Lodge of the Order Among Colored Men In America Was Established. By RALPH W. TYLER. By RALPH W. TYLER. The Masonic fraternity is a most beneficent order. Its fundamental principles know no color or race, no country or clime. With more than 3,000 years of well doing behind it, it is just as earnest and vigorous to uphold the traditions of the order as when building the temple—to spread the gospel of the brotherhood of man throughout the length and breadth of the land. The legitimacy of Negro Masonry is today honoured in the breach, if not in the observance, everywhere. In the face of historical facts and records the legitimacy of the Negro Mason cannot be questioned. At one time our legitimacy was questioned because Prince Hall, the founder of the first Masonic lodge among colored men in this country, had been made a Mason in an army lodge back in the Revolutionary days. Laws and records, however, established the right for the existence of army lodges. After this objection had been completely swept aside still our legitimacy was questioned, primarily on the ground that two grand bodies could not exist in the same jurisdiction. At one time, many years ago, whle Masons made the tentative position that if Negro Masons would prefix the descriptive word "Negro" to our grand lodges they would recognize us as Masonic brothers. The Negro Masons came back with the reply that Masonry knows no color or clime or country. When evidence was produced to prove that Prince Hall, the first Negro Mason in the United States, had been recognized by the grand lodge of England, from which came the charter for the white Masons. The great lesson which Masonry teaches its volatiles is that "a man is a man for a that." And the fundamental principles of Masonry teach that we are all citizens of one country, which is the whole world itself; members of one family, which is the entire human race, and children of one father, who is the Omnipotent God above and around us. Whether he comes from the jungles of Africa, the cotton plantations of Mississippi, the plains of Hindustan, the burning sands of Arabia, the snow capped summits of Greenland or from whatever nation or clime, if he is a Mason and can prove himself such, he should be welcomed as a man and a brother. The wisdom of Masonry is exemplified in establishing her basis on the immutable foundation of truth. The shackles fall from the hands of prejudice and digotry at the entrance of her shrine. In her sacred retreat every discordant voice is hushed, and the bitterness of sectarian strife is abashed into silence in the awful presence of pure and absolute truth. If Masonry were to require any other creed than God is our, Father and that men are his children and therefore bound to love him and one another, her grand object would at once be defeated. Next to allegiance to God and springing from it, its controlling principle is love for man as man. Masonry meets man in all the varieties of his condition with sympathy and comprehends him in all of his complex nature. Before the altar all distinctions vanish, and all man, prince or peasant, stand alike in the presence and must meet upon the level. Prince Hall was never discouraged. When bitterly treated as a clandestine, he approached the fountain head—the grand lodge of England. After he had established the first lodge among Negroes he wrote from Boston. under date of March 21, 1784, as follows: "I would inform you that this lodge hath been founded almost eight years. We have had no opportunity to apply for a warrant before, though we have been importunt to send to France for one, yet we thought best to send to the fountain head from whence we received the light for a warrant." Six months later, on Sept. 29, 1734, 129 years ago, the grand lodge of England, whose grand east is in London, granted his prayer by issuing to the fifteen colored men who had been initiated into the mysteries of Masonry a warrant of constitution, No. 459. This warrant of constitution was duly signed by R. Holt, deputy grand master, and William White, grand secretary of the grand lodge of England, and bore its great seal. It is further a matter of record that for this warrants Prince Hall forwarded to the grand lodge of England the usual fee of 51.15s. There can be no question as to the legitimacy of the Negro Mason. He is as regular as the most regular white Mason who faces the east and makes the proper signs before the three great lights. His warrant of constitution makes him a brother regardless of his color or race. THE GAZETTE JAMES E. GAFFNEY J. James E.

LIFTS EMBARGO ON ARMS FOR REBELS PRESIDENT WILSON REVOKES ORDER CONCERNING MEXICAN SITUATION. Nation's Chief Executive Also Issues Statement in Which He Explains Why He Took His Action—Conditions Changed. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson has just made official the proclamation lifting the embargo on arms for Mexican rebels. "The fat is now in the fire" and can only mark time while waiting the effect of the executive order." was the comment of the highest authority in the war department. Here is the president's proclamation: President's Proclamation. "Whereas, by a proclamation of the president issued on March 14, 1912, under a joint resolution of congress approved by the president on the same day, it was declared that there existed in Mexico conditions of domestic violence which were promoted by the use of arms or munitions of war procured from the United States; and, "Whereas, by the joint resolution above mentioned in the United States, by the conditions of war to Mexico except under such limitations and exceptions as the president should prescribe: "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, hereby declare and proclaim that, as the conditions changed and it is desirable to place the United States with reference to the exportation of arms or munitions of war to Mexico in the same position as other powers, the said proclamation is hereby revoked. "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this third day of February, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fourteen, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-eighth. "By the President, "WOODROW WILSON." W. J. BRYAN, Secretary of State. Wilson's Statement. President Wilson accompanied the proclamation with the following statement: "The executive order under which the exportation of arms and ammunition into Mexico is forbidden was a departure from the accepted practices of neutrality—a delibrate departure from those practices under a well-considered joint resolution of congress—determined upon in circumstances which have now ceased to exist. It was intended to discourage incipient revolts against the regularly constituted authorities of Mexico. Since that order was issued the circumstances of the case have undergone a radical change. There is now no constitutional government in Mexico; and the existence of this order hinders and delays the very thing the government of the United States is now insisting upon, namely, that Mexico shall be left free to settle her own affairs and as soon as possible put them upon a constitutional footing by her own force and consent. The order is, therefore, rescinded." No Spine, Able to Work. West Chester, Pa. — Living and even working, although his spine has been removed, is the remarkable experience of William Banks, 18, of near Elk View, in the southern end of Chester county. The young man laborers in the fields every day and, despite his handicap, he can do as much work as his fellow workmen. When Banks was a small child he suffered an injury which later developed tuberculosis of the spine. Philadelphia surgeons removed the spine. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883. AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. "MOTHER" ZION'S NEW HOME Progress of Well Known Religious Corporation in New York. The corporation of the Mother A. M. E Zion church has purchased the building of the Church of the Redeemer in West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, near Seventh avenue, New York. Alterations are to be made as follows: The roof is to be raised and galleries erected, electric lights will be installed and decorations are to be up to the modern idea. The building when completed will have a seating capacity of from twelve to fifteen hundred, and the members of the famous old Mother Zion will have one of the most REV. J. W. BROWN. beautiful edifices in New York city. It is located convenient to all car lines in the heart of the densely populated Harlem district and in easy reach of its communists. These transactions speak well for the progressive idea of the pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, formerly of Rochester, and his able staff of officials. The church in West Eighty-ninth street, which is valuable, will be sold. Aside from the possession of this property, Zion owns other properties of value and is considered one of the wealthiest churches of the denomination. It was founded in 1796, the first church being built at the corner of Church and Leonard streets in 1800. It was rebuilt in 1820. The first annual conference was organized in 1821, and the church was burned down in 1839 and again rebuilt in 1840. The Sabbath school was organized in 1845, and in 1864 the church was moved to Tenth and Bleecker streets. From there it was removed in 1904 to its present site in West Eighty-ninth street. The present membership is about 900. There is no doubt that the glad tidings of its advancement will be heralded abroad throughout the country. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy by Easter Sunday. The present members of the board of trustees are B. D. Fenderson, Charles C. Groce, Andrew Mead, James E. Nickson, Alonzo A. Rives, William H. DeKalb, R. Herbert Porter, Marcus B. Baker, Louis M. Fenderson and James Chase. Mme. Minnie Johnson is organist and directress. The late E. V. C. Euto was for thirty-five years a member of the board of trustees. THE ARMSTRONG LEAGUE. Richmond (Va.) Chapter Honors Memory of Hampton Institute's Founder. The Richmond (Va.) chapter of the Armstrong league held interesting exercises at the Ebenezer Baptist church in Richmond Sunday afternoon. Feb. 1. The occasion was the annual celebration of "Armstrong day" in honor of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of the Hampton institute. The principal address was delivered by the Hon. R. C. Stearnes, state superintendent of public schools. Short addresses extolling the life and character of General Armstrong were made by Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, superintendent of the Richmond public schools; Hon. H. C. Pollard, city attorney, and the Rev. R. O. Johnson, pastor of the Moore Street Baptist church. The officers of the Richmond chapter of the Armstrong league are William D. Jones, president; H. C. Mundell, treasurer, and Miss W. L. Brooks, secretary. W. D. Davenport was chairman of the committee of arrangements for the meeting. The exercises were well attended, and much public interest was shown in the work which the Armstrong league represents. College Men to Issue Monthly Magazine It is encouraging to note the increase in numbers and influence of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity of intercollegiate Greek letter men among Afro-Americans. The first issue of the Sphinx, the official organ of the fraternity, is due to make its appearance the first week in February. The seventh annual convention of the fraternity will be held at the seat of the Theta chapter in Chicago for three days beginning Monday. Dec. 28. Henry Lake Dickerson of Ohio is president of the fraternity, and Roscoe W. Ross of Cornell university is the secretary. Big Trades Union Organized In Paris The trades union organized by colored men in Paris the latter part of January is said to have a membership of over 10,000. The object of the union is to resist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay.

VESSEL HITS ROCK, NINETEEN PERISH FIVE MEN ARE SAVED THROUGH THE GALLANTRY OF THE FIRST OFFICER. Bark Loses Its Course When It Encounters Heavy Gale, Fills With Water, Victims Take to Life-boats, Which Capsize. Plymouth, England—Captain Lorenz, the first officer and 17 of the crew of the German bark Hera, from Pisagua, Chile, for Falmouth, lost their lives through the vessel striking a rock as she had almost concluded her voyage. The remaining five men were saved through the gallantry of the first officer who, realizing his own end was near, handed his whistle to a comrade with orders to blow it. This attracted the attention of the crew of a lifeboat, who rescued the men from the rigging. The Hera encountered a gale at the entrance to the English channel. She lost her course and struck on the rocks near Porthalla Bight. The vessel immediately filled and the men took to the boats, which capsized. Eight succeeded in getting back to the ship, but three of them were washed off before the lifeboat arrived. The first officer, who was lashed to the rigging, blew his whistle until the rising tide had almost engulfed him. Then he passed it over with the remark: "Here, chum, you can do better with that than I can," and fell back dead. LIST OF EIGHTEEN IS PREPARED BY CLERK OF COUNTY COURT. Milwaukee, Wis.—Solicitude for the welfare of prospective brides and bridegrooms has caused County Clerk Louis G. Widule to assume the role of paternal adviser to all young married couples. Realizing that the eugenic marriage law is on the eve of its adoption and that when it becomes operative the lovesick swain must have an unusually strong heart to pop the question to the girl and to answer the questions of the physician who is to pass upon the application of Cupid's victim to be admitted to the order of Benedicts, the county clerk has framed a number of "don'ts", which will be doled out to each couple after the first of the year. The following is the list: Dont argue. Dont be the boss. Dont show your own importance. Dont forget who you are and what your wife is. Dont be deceitful. Dont be grouchy. Dont be a spendthrift or a tight wad. Dont forget that your wife's mother is the same to your wife as your mother is to you. Dont forget that "the man worth while is the man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong." Dont stay at home all the time. Dont let your wife vote. Dont let your husband bring his business cares home. Don't let your wife go through your pockets. Don't have an affinity. Don't forget to wipe your shoes before you come in the house. New York City—Gen. James Grant Wilson, a member of the staff of Gen. Grant in the campaign against Vicksburg and later famous as a writer and lecturer, died in St. Luke's hospital after an illness of several weeks. Gen. Wilson was born in Edingburgh, in 1832. He came to this country as a youth and made in Chicago. In 1867 he made his first bid for literary fame by starting the Chicago Record as a journal of literature and art. He abandoned the publication at the opening of the Civil war. COURT VINDICATES DAVIS. Indictment Against Noted Georgia Odd Fellow and Editor Dropped Fellow and Editor Dropped Atlanta, GA.-Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, is receiving congratulations from friends in all parts of the country on the wiping out of the charge that the federal government had held against him for twelve years. Upon the recommendation of Hooper Alexander, United States district attorney for the northern district of Georgia, Attorney General McLennells ordered a stet to be entered. In signing the order of noelle prosqueli Judge W. T. Newman wrote: "There has long been prevalent a general belief that the indictment of Mr. Davis was secured by his political enemies on the slenderest evidence. In connection with this one of the attorneys in the case says: "This case was pending in the United States district court from ten to twelve years. The indictment was found during Mr. Angier's term of office as United States district attorney. Repeated efforts were made by defendant's counsel, Rosser & Brandon and C. P. Gore, for trial in this case from term to term without avail. There never was a time when the defendant could have been convicted un- BENJAMIN J. DAVIS. der this indictment for the reason that the evidence upon which it was found ed was insufficient. "Mr. Alexander, the United States district attorney, stated in open court, when the noelle prosequi was entered, that many of the acts relied upon for conviction under the indictment were barred by the statute of limitation when the indictment was found, and investigation by Mr. Angier or his successor in office, Mr. Tate, would have received the sentence by Mr. Alexander, and it is passing strange that these officers representing the United States would permit an indictment to stand for twelve long years against a citizen of Georgia when it was absolutely baseless in fact. "It must be credited to Mr. Alexander that he is not only a competent officer, but that he is conscientious, painstaking and courageous and discharges his duty as he sees it. He acted promptly in this case with a view to trying it, if there was anything in it, and, if not, to give it the direction already indicated." MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF A BAPTIST UNIVERSITY. New England Convention Proposes the Erection of Big Religious School. Prominent Baptist ministers and laymen of the New England Baptist missionary convention will take part in an all day mass meeting to be held in the Bethany Baptist church, Newark, N. J., Feb. 12. The meeting is to be held in the interest of the proposed Northern Baptist university. The idea of the movement was projected last June at the annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, of which the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D., is president. The general topic for discussion at the three sessions to be held is "The Northern Baptist University—Its Need, Purpose and Outlook." The speakers for the morning session will be the following ministers, who have charges in New Jersey and in New York: Rev. Drs. George E. Morris, Morristown; H. H. Mitchell, Haddonfield; John W. Henderson, Atlantic City; E. E. Jackson and R. D. Wynn, Newark (Dr. Wynn is pastor of the church in which the meeting is to be held; W. M. Moss, Brooklyn; G. H. Sims, New York city; J. B. Boddie, New Rochelle; G. H. Mount Veron; William P. Hayes, New York city; Mr. L. Williams, Brooklyn; Dr. D. C. Moon, New York. In the afternoon the following ministers from Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Connecticut will speak: Drs. E. W. Johnson, G. L. P. Tallafero, A. R. Robinson and W. A. Creditt, Philadelphia; J. C. Jackson, Jenkinstown; Drs. D. S. Klugh, New Haven; W. A. Harrod, Hartford; S. W. Smith and D. W. Wiley, Providence. The principal speaker at the evening session will be Dr. W. Bishop Johnson Washington. Rev. J. E. Churchman, financial secretary of the movement, will also make an address. Music will be furnished by a quartet from Montclair, N. J. Rev. J. C. Love will preside. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS [Name] Major Robert R. Moton, commandant of Hampton Institute for over twenty years, is, next to Booker T. Washington, the most distinguished graduate of Hampton. He is president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, and secretary of the Jeanes Fund Board. Major Moton has traveled all over the country with Booker T. Washington, and is credited with exerting a tremendous influence in bringing white and colored people into more helpful relations. David F. Houston, federal secretary of agriculture, is a firm believer in the need for co-operative action among farmers. In a recent address before the national grange he said: "In simple justice the producer must be paid specifically for what he produces and for nothing else, and the consumer must receive what he thinks he purchases and must be willing to pay a fair price for a good product. It is absolutely clear that before the problems of rural credit and of marketing the individual farmer, acting alone, is helpless. Nothing less than concerted action will suffice. Cooperation is absolutely essential. The same business sense and the same organizing genius which have placed this nation in the front rank in industry must be invoked for agriculture. "I am not advocating an organization which will attempt to establish a closed market and to fix prices. I am advocating simply an economic arrangement which will facilitate production and enable the producer to find the readiest and best market for his product and the consumer to receive his supplies at the lowest cost. It goes without saying that the members of the co-operative society must be those who are bona fide producers, and that every approach of the explorer must be aggressively repelled. The object must be specifically economic and not remotely political." The proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye. A few days ago at Tuskegee, Ala., was celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of Negro farming. The subject of discussion was "Fifty Years of Negro Farm Life." The conference was preceded by a parade showing the improvements that have been made in farming during that period. Among the features were the Negro farmer of half a century ago with his cob pipe, ox and wooden plough. The wooden plough was followed by another old-time farmer with a small mule and a scooter plough. Then came a more up-to-date farmer with a good mule, but still a one-horse plough. Next a two-horse plough, followed by a four-horse gang plough, disc harrow, roller, seed drill, mower, binder, thrasher, gasoline engine, corn harvester, cotton stalk chopper and other farming implements. At the workers' conference "The Conservation of Negro Health" was discussed. It is estimated that every year sickness and cost the Negroes of the country $60,000,000. Among the many definitions of genius, that of Thomas A. Edison has the virtue of brevity, not to say wit: "Genius is two per cent. inspiration and 88 per cent. perspiration." What a girl likes about an engagement ring is that it doesn't back up her blushing denials. Guadaloupe is growing a new kind of coffee, introduced from the Congo country. This is known as "coffee robusta," and it was discovered in 1898. IN UNION THERE WAS STRONGER PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS Farm segregation, as the newest and most pressing development of the Negro problem in the south, was the main topic of the public conference at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held in New York recently. Te speaker who told of the movement, to curtail the land holdings of Negroes was Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, director of publicity and research for the association and the first to spread the facts of the situation in the north. He attacked the position of Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, as one of the chief supporters of the idea of farm segregation, and reviewed the progress in agriculture and property in land on the part of the Negro, which has led to the plan to limit his activities. Dr. DuBois began his talk on farm segregation by reviewing the solution of the Negro problem suggested twenty-five years ago: "Take the Negro out of politics. Train him for work, particularly for farm work. The result will be the disappearance of the Negro problem." He went on to give statistics to show that the Negro has submitted to practical distranchise throughout a large part of the south, and to complete social discrimination against him, to gain the chance for education and independent support. The results have been, Dr. DuBois asserted, that the Negro schools have been neglected, that a large proportion of the Negro children are not in school, and that there has been quiet but determined opposition to the success of the higher schools for Negroes, while in the in dustrial and agricultural field the Negro has had to contend against tre mendous odds. Instead of welcoming the fact that despite odds the Negro has developed his abilities and acquired farm property, as the working out of the solution suggested a quarter of a century ago. Dr. DuBois said, the adancement of the race has aroused alarm. So long as the Negro accepted ed education as training to work for the white man there was no trouble he said, but when he began to work for himself, objections at once suggested themselves. The result* is the proposition of Clarence Poe, as editor of the Progressive Farmer, that when the greater part of the acreage of a section is owned by one race the voters may say that no land within this section shall be sold to a member of another race, provided the vote is reviewed and approved by a judge of a county commission. This plan, Dr. DuBois asserted, is based on the theory of race segregation, which has resulted in degradation and failure in the case of the Indians, and which is now aimed at a far larger class, the Negroes. Mrs. Robert M. LaFollette told the good qualities of the Negroes as citizens as she had observed them, their ambition, their willingness to work their love of home and their natural cheerfulness. In closing she urged that the checking of the activity of the race meant danger to the nation. A room in a school in Los Angeles has been modeled after the principal room in a Roman house, in the belled that the pupils will learn Latin more rapidly in appropriate surroundings. The Yorkshire (England) village of Kettlewell, which was only recently furnished with electric light, is yet without telephones. Race prejudice and its eradication were the topics discussed at the second of the season's Saturday luncheons of the Republican club at New York. Discrimination against the Jews, Japanese, Chinese and negro was taken up respectively by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Schuilman, Rabbi of Temple Beth-el; Dr. Toyckichi Syvenaga, professor of history in the University of Chicago; Prof. H. C. Mel, secretary of the China Society of America, and Butler R. Wilson of Boston. Speaking in behalf of the negro, Mr. Wilson said that appeals to the church, society and the agents of the constitution had alike failed to ameliorate conditions, and that the government had bowed down to race prejudice. In the south, the speaker said, race prejudice was unreasoning and fixed, while in the north it was emotional hysteria. Napoleon III. strictly limited preachers before him to a quarter of an hour, and if they exceeded it an officer of the imperial household stepped to the pulpit and stopped the discourse. Wooden pails are being displaced by steel receptacles, says the American Machinist. For the paint trade alone one plant turns out every year 4,000-000 steel pails to hold white lead.

An exchange asks: "Will the Progressive party survive?" Recall all the other "reform" party movements of the last fifty years and answer the question? Tom Dixon's miserable play, "The Leopard's Spots," a vicious attack on the race, was barred out of Nashville, Tenn., last week. Good! Other Southern and Northern cities have done the same thing, be it said to their everlasting credit. Ex-President W. H, Taft in an address delivered recently, in N. Y., before the New York Peace Soiety, urged the enactment by Congress of a law which would give the Federal Courts jurisdiction to prevent and punish crimes of mob violence against aliens in the United States Strange, that he persists in overlooking or ignoring the lynching of nearly one hundred American citizens, on an average, every year! Safety Director Beneesch of this city in a recent letter to President Daniel W. Lothman of the Harvard club of Cleveland, rejected an invitation to attend the club's dinner, to be held at the University club Feb. 14. "I will not enter the doors of a club which practices race discrimination, and which, because I am a Jew, would be me from membership," said Beneesch And he is right, too. We trust he will stamp out of the city department he presides over, as far as he is able to do so, all discrimination on account of race or color. Safer Benesch impresses us as being "the right sort"; also Editor William P. Reynold of the Jewish Daily World whose splendid letters are published elsewhere in these columns. More power, to their manly kind in all races. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant children's home? MORE SEGREGATION? A rumor has reached The Gazette that, at its meeting Tuesday morning in Cory M. E. church this city, the Ministers' Alliance appointed a committee, consisting of Revs. Chas. Bundy, E. A. White, H. C. Bailey and E. H. Smith, to confer with the Central Y. M. C. A. officials with a view to learning what can be done for our people along Y. M. C. A. lines. It seems that some one or more of our ministers have been approached by a person or persons who have assured them that some where in this community there is a considerable sum ready to be placed in a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. This is not new. We have not years for the existence of such a desire upon the part of prejudiced white persons who are not only anxious to get rid of the few remaining Afro-American members of the Central Y. M. C. A, but, also, to establish this new segregation movement in the city of Cleveland. The hope of getting this fund has ever and anon been so alluring to certain members of the race that they have been unable to stand the pressure. This accounts for the periodic and spasmodic "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. efforts among our people in this community in recent years and doubtless explains the selection of the committee by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday morning. We are told that one of our leading ministers remarked at this meeting that he did not care "what the old residents, among the matter." We hope that this is not so, and that the committee, if appointed, has not been selected for any such purpose. Any of our people in this city who have developed an over-wearing desire for such a "jim-crow" initiation or segregation movement, should not forget the sad experience of our people in Dayton, Columbus, and more recently in Chicago, as well as other northern cities, where separate schools for Colored children either followed, immediately the establishment of a jim-crow Y. M. C. A. There is nothing so harmful as such a precedent in any community, because of its great encouragement of segregation and color-lines of all kinds in public and quasi-public places and institutions. What is needed in the section of the city, most thickly populated by our people, is a social settlement house, open to all races or classes residing there—something that will reach the class of our people mistaken in individuals believe a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. there would affect directly. As a matter of fact, none of that class would be eligible for membership in a Y. M. C. A., but could be reached through the medium of a social settlement house open to all without reference to class or color. This has been promised at an early date for that section of the city, and committees, representing both races, are at work on the matter, backed financially and other wise by one of the most substantial white organizations in the city of Cleveland. We trust that we have been misinformed, not only as to the instructions of the committee referred to above, but also as to its selection or appointment. God forbid that local Negro ministers should ever so far forget the vital interests of our people of this community as to become the agents of "prejudiced white people to saddle upon us more segregation and more "jim-crowism." AS TO THAT MISERABLE PLAY. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Cleveland Gazette, CITY. Dear Sir—I read with the greatest interest your editorials in The Gazette of Jan. 17 and 24, 1914, and I can assure you that I am fully in accord with your opinions. The one thing that pleases me most to note is that the Jewish teacher who represents the real Jewish ideals and views, I much doubt, in fact, whether the leaders of that club know anything of the Jewish teachings; for had they kown the teaching of Rabbi Hillel and the views of the ancient as well as the modern Jew, they would have been more interested just as they would think of playing "The Sheeny" (if there were such a play). I herewish take the pleasure to enclose a translation of my remarks in today's issue of "The Jewish World." You are at liberty to reprint my remarks and also this letter. Yours very truly. WILLIAM REYNOLD. Translation of an editorial note in the Cleveland (Daily) Jewish World, Jan. 30, 1914: "What is hateful to thee, do not do unto thy fellow man"—Talmud The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American citizens, strongly complains about the conduct of the Carnation club, an organization of Jewish young men, for presenting the play "The Nigger." The editor of The Gazette, Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man with broad views, declares that he had never felt so pleased as when we raised the fight against Shakespeare's "Merchant Velvet." He criticizes the Jew in insisting light, "Then," asks Editor Smith, "why should not the Jews be at least as tolerant as not to affect the feelings of another suffering race?" "The Nigger," according to Editor Smith's statement, is a shameful and offensive play in the eyes of the Afro-American citizens. It contains throughout the word "nigger" which has the same meaning as "sheeny" for the Jew, and it also contains remarks about lynchings and such other things that offend the feelings of that suffering race. Occurrence should really be regretted, and especially, because the Carnation club had ignored the protest and had presented that race-insulting play after all, forgetting the noble Jewish teaching which is called in American, "The Golden Rule"—"What is hateful to thee, do not do unto thy fellow man." Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 1, 1914. Editor, Jewish World: Dear Sir—Permit me to thank you for your excellent editorial, and to ask the publication of the following as the last chapter of the discussion anent the presentation by the Carnation club of the insulting play, "The Nigger." First, Afro-Americans object not only to the title, but also to many of its lines and scenes, and consequently the very harmful impress upon all who witness its rendition. The benefit, if any, derived from the presentation of the play is more than offset by the insulting and harmful title, passages and scenes of the play. While I endorse heartily the objections to "The Merchant of Venice" raised some months ago by the editor of the Jewish World, and have only words of praise for him as a result of the same, I wish to call attention to the fact that neither in its title nor in the body of the play are there such miserable, mongrel references to the Jewish race as are found in the play, "The Nigger," having reference to my people. A Mr. Korach is wrong in his comparison of the two plays, from a racial prejudice viewpoint. He also errs in at least one other conclusion: The production of either play does not "eliminate race prejudice," but, as a matter of fact, has an opposite effect. Whether the authors of these two plays had any "prejudice or race feeling when they were written," is not pertinent. In conclusion permit me to indulge the hope that neither the Carnation club nor any other Jewish organization will ever repeat the mistake it made in the presentation of that miserable play, "The Nigger." was put off a train at Vinita, OK, arrested and fined by a justice of the peace. On New Year's Eve, 1910, Mr. Thompson started from Kansas City to McAlester, OK, buying a berth in a sleeper. Oklahoma has a "jim-crow-car law. When the train reached the Oklahoma line he was ordered to move into the "jim-crow" coach. He refused and a deputy sheriff was called. He was fined $13. Good Lord! In his suit in the District Court in Kansas City, Mr. Thompson sought to recover the fine, $3.81 fare from Vinita to McAlester, and $50,000 damages. The jury at the trial of the case brought in a verdict for the defendants. It was contended that the Oklahoma law could not apply to interstate passengers. The Court of Appeals held that railroads have a right to separate the races, as long as the same accommodations are provided for. This decision the U.S. Supreme Court will surely wipe out when the case reaches it. No other decision could well be expected from either court or jury in prejudiced Missouri. DOING OF THE RACE.

No, I am not writing for Mr. Smith's paper, I am writing for you. That is one of the troubles with our people. They are so afraid that they will do too much for the other fellow, especially if the latter happens to be a member of the race. Mr. Smith did not ask me to publish my letter in his paper, but I think people could see it and also some of the better class of white people. If we were trying to raise 2 or $3,000 for the Old Folks' Home you would never see it in a white paper, but just let some white man in the South burn or lynch his own son or grand son of color and you will find it herald GEO. L. LANG. ed in the white papers with great, large, black head-lines. Shame on them! If you want to know what our people are doing, you must read our papers, especially The Gazette, and every Negro that has any race pride, should do all that he or she can to promote their interests. This is no time "to sleep on our rights." If schooling will not put you where you should be experience and age ILL. Parents are working hard to keep their children in school and to send them to college. Too many of these young men are found in pool-rooms, while many of the girls walk the streets, at unseemly hours—after school. Oftimes they are not as appreciative nor as kind to their parents as they should be. Some of them seem to forget that they, too, will grow old, and their good looks fade, some day. Then there are others who refuse to work because they cannot get just what they need the most mistake and unfair to their parents. Much more could be said along these lines but the foregoing is quite enough to answer the purpose. GEORGE L. LANG. MRS. LETHIA FLEMING APOLO GIZED. The following communication, which is self-explanatory, was read, Monday evening, at a meeting of the Old Folks' Home association at Mrs. D. Quinn's, E. 36th St. The Old Folks' Home Association, City: Linden and Gentlemen—It has come to my knowledge that Dr. J. K. Nickens was charged at a recent meeting of the association with having given The Gazette information relative to the proceeds of the "Talbert" Benefit concert at Cory M. E. church. Some one has made a mistake and in so doing has done the doctor an injustice which I am sure entitled him to an apology. He did not give us the information. As everyone knows, it is policy of any reputable paper to divulge the source of its authentic information. The rule is, to publish the names only of informants who bring or send information or statements that are questionable or untrue. I understand that there was considerable discussion at the same meeting of the Gazette without any reputable same concert. Permit me to say that The Gazette, without any return whatever, gave notice of the concert prior to the date of the same. Our notice, which followed the same, was more free publication and such as we deemed proper. As we were paying for the same, this of course was our right and privilege. If others desired different notice it was a very easy matter for them to secure the same Gazette to the highest feeling in all of the participants in the concert and all concerned in it. WILL WIN IN U. S. SUPREME COURT. That "Oklahoma" Case of William J Thompkins, who was shot by Mo— Freeduced Missouri. St. Louis, Mo.—The right of railroads to require Afro-Americans and whites to ride in separate coaches was unheld by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, last week, in its decision in the case of William J. Thompson of Kansas City, Mo. against the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad and the Pullman Company. Mr. Thompson sued to recover $40,012.81 because he was put off a train at Vinita, Ok., arrested and fined by a justice of the peace. On New Year's Eve, 1910, Mr. Thompkins started from Kansas City to McAlester, Ok., buying a berth in a sleeper. Oklahoma has a "jim-crow" law that trains train workers in Oklahoma line he ordered to move into the "jim-crow" coach. He refused and a deputy sheriff was called. He was fined $13. Good Lord! In his suit in the District Court in Kansas City, Mr. Thompkins sought to recover the fine, $3.81 fare from Vinita to McAlester, and $50,000 damages. The jury at the trial of the case bought in a verdict for the defendant. It was contended that the Oklahoma law could not apply to interstate passengers. The Court of Appeals held that railroads have a right to separate the races, as long as the same accommodations are provided for each. This decision the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that railroads reach it. No other decision could well be expected from either court or jury in prejudiced Missouri. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, U. S. Collector of Customs at Honolulu, and Municipal Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., are soon to be dismissed, by the democratic Wilson administration. Within 60 days after opening up for business in Paducah, Ky., the Standard Life Insurance company, of Atlanta, Ga., had over 600 policies in force. Looks like Georges Carpentier is biting off more than he can chew when he takes on a classy heavy-weight as Joeanneette, with 85 pounds weight advantage, and, as the latter is a clever, heady boxer and a hard hitter, the idol of Europe is going to have trouble. No doubt if Editor Harry C. Smith is always on the right side for the best for his people. He thinks he sees a possibility to get Joseph Benson Foraker back in the senate-hope so, for his kind, these days, are few and far between. If Ohio would redeem herself and send to Congress, Judge John A. Mansfield with Foraker, and others, tried and true, and our old man great, William E. Chandler of New Hampshire, and many others to keep company with the lonely Clapp, who is treading the wine press alone, wouldn't the judge use alone, would the judge Wonderful things happen at times-Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. That the Jewish people are up and doing all the time when it comes to protecting their rights is a well known fact. Recently a moving picture concern showed a film deploring humorously a Jewish wedding, to which they took exception, and were upheld by the chief of police, who ordered the picture suppressed. Similar action should be taken by our people, not only as to moving scenes, but also the daily puppe and journals. Such things tend to create prejudice—Chicago Defender. Is it not time, too, for The Crisis to realize the harm of helping on every separate "im-crow" Y. M. C. A. and Settlement house in the North, and for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to realize the harm now of manning a harmed house with support of separation in philanthropy in the North, and to perceive that their fight against legal and Federal segregation is weakened very materially by compromise upon non-legal segregation in the North and failure to contend radically for the mixing of the races in all institutions for public benefit. Boston, MA. D. C. wants an Afro-American to come there and open a grocery store, a shoe-repairing shop, &c. Cleveland wants one to open a meat-market in Central Ave. A PERTINENT QUESTION. Editor Gazette. Dear Siri:—Might I ask, through your columns, why we throw away our time criticising Roman Catholic and Christian Scientist beliefs. They already have three fourths of the Christianized world as theirs. What the rest of them use world needs to do to have meth world needs to do to they can increase and hold their own members. To ac knowledge that one's flock is going elsewhere for worship, don't speak well for the church with which it is connected. I fear spiritual training is weak, too material, or we expect to sing people to Jesus Christ, instead of preaching the word of Christ Jesus. It last longer. Talmadge and Torrey's sermons are printed and sent over the world as good Christian guldes; likewise Mrs. Baker Eddy's, Mrs. Baker Eddy's, Mrs. Baker Eddy has always preached Christ as our atenuation and Saviour, and uses the present day Bible, and no ordinary Christian woman can convince anybody, she'd use any other kind. I believe Robert Ingersoll did follow the teaching of some questionable bible, but not Mrs. Eddy. It's very easy for those who are charitable-minded to find this out. However, Catholicism and Christian Scientists are growing more popular every day. B C Good Lord!,"Rejoicing"! Good Lord! "Rejoicing": Louisville, Ky. — Beginning with Monday, February 22, the national Theatre will open our door and second welcome to our people instead of the Rev.

Miss Randolph and Miss Moore, hostesses, deserve much credit for their splendid conduct of the affair. Miss Clarke was one of several out-of-town guests, who attended the Charity ball, Jan. 26, at Chamber of Commerce hall. Dr. Horton, a well-known local dentist, over 60 years of age, said recently: "Really all that is the matter with us is that stimulants have closed the glands which contain the fluids of life. The tannin in coffee and tea, and in both black and white pepper is probiotic. And that is why Red pepper, has the opposite effect—it opens the glands and keeps life racing within us. In addition to being beneficial in itself, it creates a thirst for water. It seems impossible for a human being to drink too much water. The body cannot be flushed too often, cannot be kept too clean. Drink more water. The food is the right kind. Overeating puts more people in the graveyards over than overdrinking!"

C.—An amendment to the Smith-Lever Agricultural Extension bill, providing that in all cases of Federal aid to the work of instruction of farmers the Afro-American farmer shall have his fair share, presented in the Senate by Senator Jones, of Washington, brought the Democrats in Congress squarely up to the issue of peace or war with the Northern Afro-American sentiment. The leading race organizations have denied the Republican members of the senate that the operation of the original extension plan, without a special amendment to the bill, would exclude our farmers from the benefit of instruction. Southern states will be the chief gainers by the federal allowance, which in ten years will reach $3,480,000 annually. Our agricultural colleges want their quota of the appropriation. Two Detectives Appointed Washington, D. C.—Our people of the district are jubilant over the appointment of two of our patrolmen as members of the detective force. The lucky ones are W. H.

Wooldridge, local "United Colored Democracy" has been appointed to an inspectorship in the State Factory Department. The position pays $2000 a year, a considerable increase over his former position under the municipal government which he held until October last. Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogradation and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: Colored ministers Announce: We our committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1949, to investigate the alleged organization of a House EXTUSIVELY for COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E 128th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the same, we express no opinion, and make no commendation since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been formed by officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed G.

We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Smith and Mr. Thaxter Eaton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C.

We your committee, do hereby endorse the most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit:— 1st—There is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made ample and satisfactory provision for all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeciably undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of "jim-crowism," so detestable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over. 4.

The Parisian dressmakers are doing wonderful things with this fur. They are really using it as one might use bands of velvet ribbon or folds of sup- ple satin, that fs to say, they are trimming’ coats and dresses with it without paying the least attention to the fact that in its orange and violet impersonations it is highly unnatural. Taffetas and Dyed Fitch. 1 saw last week a lovely model cos- tume, in which taffetas and dyed fiteh play leading roles. ‘This was an af- ternoon gown of the latest design. The hem of the short skirt Is bor- dered with emerald-green fitch and the same curious fur appeara on the el bow slecves. The underdress itself 4g made of crepe de chine, and the fur dorder fs more than half a yard in width.

He is accounted an English poet, though County Limerick, Ireland, was his dirthplace. His early education was recetved at home. Later he attended ‘Trinity college, Dublin. His Iterary career began in his college days. One of the dearest friends of his life was Sara Coleridge, the only daughter of the great Coleridge—poet and critic Wordsworth, Southey and Tennyson also were among his intimates.

They were replaced by rounded boleros and then by loose [coatees, but now the genuine Eton | siape is again in favor with tro. or three of the leading Parisian tailors I recently saw a beautiful and unex- pected suit in which an Eton coat was prominent.

Even the new plaited skirts are cleverly. welght- |ed In order that they should seem nar- | row and clinging. | It must be admitted that some of “tho new blouse models are extraorél- nary in outline, in fact they seem ut- | terly without shape. They are bloused, or pouched, at the waist and some of “them are gathered at the neck and ‘finished off with a band of fur, These blouses are invariably accompanied by a swathed sash and worn in conjune- ‘tion with draped skirts which are quite full over the hips.
