THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 29 IN UNION HOPE EASTERNITY LEADER AMONG THE BAPTISTS Brilliant Work of the Rev. J. H. Eason. VERSED IN CHURCH HISTORY Brief Summary of the Achievements of the President of the Baptist State Convention of Alabama—Author of Several Plans For the Future Welfare of the Denomination. Birmingham, Ala.—The Baptist denomination in this state is growing by leaps and bounds in numbers, finance and intelligent leadership. The reports made by the various churches at the last state convention covered a wide scope of activities in and out of the individual churches themselves. Foremost among the many capable leaders in the work of the denomination is the Rev. J. H. Eason, B. D., pastor of the Jackson Street Baptist church in this city and president of the Alabama Baptist state convention. Mr. Eason is a native of Sumterville, this state, and was graduated from Selma university in 1885 and from the Richmond (Va.) Theological seminary in 1890. After his graduation in 1890 Professor Eason taught at Selma university for seven years. He was ordained to the Baptist ministry in 1891. He has held many responsible positions both as a churchman and an educator. Before beginning his pastorate at the Jackson Street Baptist church in this city he had been pastor of the Seventeenth Street Baptist church in Anniston for sixteen years. The Rev. Mr. Eason has some very distinct views as to the work, doctrine REV. J. H. MASON, B. D. and discipline of the Baptist denomination. In a recent interview he made the following statements: "For several years I have made special study of church history and the Baptist denomination. I find the primitive form of the Baptist people was that of a mass meeting. They are a family. All other denominations are organizations. The Baptists are a growth, not an institution, in their nature. "To do the best work it is possible for us as Baptists to do we will have to become an organized family. I should not be surprised in the future to see the Baptists divided into two great classes—namely, confederated Baptists and the united Baptists. "Some years ago I drew up a constitution for the Alabama Baptist state convention, which provided that the one state convention he divided into four subordinate state district conventions, the coming together once a year of these state district conventions in the state convention. Many good and great men in the state and out of the state predicted the state district conventions would secede from the one central organization. But there are no signs of trouble yet. The scheme is working nicely. "In our last convention at Mobile, Ala., the brethren passed a recommendation which I offered that provides that we have a congress to investigate and restate the practices and doctrines which the churches that are members of the convention are expected to support and practice. "I reason if committees to revise the Bible are wise a meeting to look into the practices and doctrines of the denomination that rests upon the Bible for its only rule of action might not be out of order. This meeting will be held some time next year." The Fifteenth Amendment Will Stand. The introduction of a measure in the general assembly at Columbia, S. C., recently favoring the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution simply shows the attitude of a small minority of southern white men toward the colored citizens of the country. The great bulk of intelligent whites throughout the country would vote against such a selfish measure were it to become a national issue. Sunday Schools to Aid Missionaries. The foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention is preparing an elaborate Easter program for the Sunday schools throughout the country. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary, says they will mall out at least 200,000 of these programs to the Sunday schools in every state and also to their stations in Africa and other foreign points. The board is asking for $15,000 for immediate use on the foreign field. THE GAZETTE C. HARRIS & EWING Mme.

NATION NEGLECTS LESS FIT 'KIDDIES' SO SAYS JULIA LATHROP, CHIEF OF NEW FEDERAL CHILDREN'S BUREAU. Woman Official Attacks the Present Methods of Dealing With Juvenile Offenders; Even in the More Washington, D. C.—The nation is neglecting its "exceptional children," the less fit among the little ones, says Julia C. Lathrop, chief of the children's bureau, in the first annual report of the new division of federal activity. No state in the Union, she says, at the present time is making adequate provision in this regard. She appeals for classified directories of all available agencies dealing with children, including institutions for feeble-minded, crippled, blind and deaf, and juvenile delinquents and juvenile courts. She attacks the present methods of dealing with juvenile offenders, even in the more advanced states. She says: "The inequality of operation of the juvenile court laws in this country has been thus far ignored in the discussion of juvenile courts. A small group of the most conspicuous courts and those best equipped have been studied and their methods admired or criticized, but there has been little attempt to show the lack of provision for carrying out the laws which have been enacted." "Even where the probation theory of the law is carefully worked out and faithfully administered, the proper state institutions for the training and care of certain children may be lacking, and so the purpose of the law is defeated." TREMORS ARE FELT IN NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW ENGLAND STATES. New York City.—An earthquake shock of varying degree of intensity was felt throughout New York state, New England and southeastern Canada. Beginning at 1:34 p. m. the tremor lasted about a minute. Soon reports began to filter in from cities in the north, New England and Canada. Montreal reported considerable damage to property in parts of Quebec province. The shocks were felt in several quarters of Albany and in the Capitol the desk of Speaker Sweet of the assembly was moved an inch. In other departments of the state buildings the shocks were distinctly felt. Water coolers were overturned and chairs upset. At Schenectady, less than 20 miles from Albany, the ground rocked with such intensity that persons in office buildings reported that they had nearly been thrown from their chairs. At Binghamton Rocco Avezz, 32, a laborer, was killed. The shocks were felt as far west as Pennsylvania. At Scranton, Pa., buildings were shaken both in the city and in the surrounding country. Pass Good Roads Bill Washington, D. C.—The Shackleford bill, under which the federal government would distribute $25,000,000 for good roads among the various states, conditioned on a dollar for dollar appropriation by each state, was passed by the house by a vote of $23 to 42. Its passage followed several days of debate, during which many of the speakers advocated the project in the interest of the farmers, while a minority attacked the project as a dangerous opening wedge for heavy future inroads on the treasury. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1914. BIG UPLIFT FOR RURAL SCHOOLS MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE Economic and Social Aspect of Educational Work In One Hundred and Thirty Counties In the Southern States Reviewed by State Supervisor Jackson Davis of Virginia. How industrial training, under a system of supervising industrial teachers, has not only vitalized the rural schools among the colored people into which it has been introduced, but is also having farreaching economic and social effects on rural conditions generally, is described by Jackson Davis, state supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, in the Southern Workman. Mr. Davis says in part: "A few efforts had been made here and there throughout the south to tie up the work of the country school to the life of the home and the farm, but it was not until the establishment of the Jeanes fund for rural schools that a general effort was made in this direction. In Heinice county, Va., in the fall of 1908, following a conference of the school officials of the county with agents of the Jeanes fund, a supervising industrial teacher was employed and put to work in all of the colored schools of the county. "The pioneer work of Virginia Randolph in overcoming the indifference of her own people, organizing improvement leagues at each school, introducing simple forms of industrial work and in the enlistment of the active interest of the white people in these efforts for improvement in practical ways, met with such success that a new spirit was soon ablaze in each colored community, and the schools were transformed in appearance and in the general character of their work. "The general plan, so successful in its early dehonoration, has continued to grow and meet with approval. It has developed initiative among the colored rural people, and it has tied their interests together in a school for a better neighborhood. The moral effect has been noticed by the white people around them and their support of this movement has been hearty. Supervising industrial teachers were employed in 130 counties in the southern states last session. "This work has been made possible in most cases by the Jeanes fund, but the counties, as they see the splendid results, are putting up more money from local funds for the support of the work, and in some counties the teacher's salary is paid entirely from local school funds. In sending out trained teachers to supervise the rural schools we are putting the best leadership of the Negro race to work in the task of bringing about better training, better farming and better living. "The school is almost the only point where conscious effort is made by the white people to influence and develop the Negro race, and here is a great opportunity for constructive work, as indeed the supervising teachers are showing. In organizing the school improvement leagues they are bringing the older people together in the interest of better things and are calling forth the spirit of self help, which is indispensable to their progress. "One of the most promising developments in the work has been the cooperation of the supervising industrial teacher with the farm demonstration agent in working during the summer months with clubs of girls who make home gardens and can their vegetables and fruits for winter use. This feature of the work was begun in Virginia two years ago in four counties. During the past summer it was carried on in fourteen. Under this plan the industrial teachers are employed for the entire twelve months. At the close of the school term they organize garden clubs among the larger girls. They visit them in their homes, meet them in groups, give them practical instruction for their gardens and teach canning, cooking and sewing in their homes. "The teachers are in great demand during the summer months, not only among the girls, but among their mothers as well, for they, too, have been eager to learn the 'government way' of canning vegetables." "Either as tenants, owners or laborers the colored people cultivate farms in the south with an area of 100,000,000 acres. This is an area equal to four times the state of Virginia. Much of this land, as we know, is cultivated in the very poorest fashion. We shall have a onesided cultivation as long as we have twentieth century methods in our cities and eighteenth century methods on our farms. "If we deny the Negro the training which he needs to make a better citizen and a better man and a better farmer, we suppress our rural life and hold down our average to a lower level and we continue to have him wear out the soil which is our greatest natural wealth. Training of the right kind that will replace obsolete methods with intelligent methods, that will replace insanitary cabins with good dwelling houses, neglected shacks with attractive schoolhouses and an intelligent work for the coming of the kingdom of God on earth—this is the rural civilization which some think must be wrought as by a miracle."

Newark, N. J.—Charles I. Manning was arrested shortly after midnight on a charge of murder in connection with the death of his wife Harriet, who was shot and killed by Hazel Herdman, who afterward ended her own life. "We have preferred a charge of murder against Manning," said Chief Long. "He knew that Hazel Herdman killed his wife when we brought them in here Friday night, a few hours after the shooting. He waved with her call that night at an, the next morning up to a few mome, before she killed herself. We had witnesses to prove that he knew it then, and that he lied to us in every statement he has made." New York City—With the mystery of the murder of Mrs. Charles I. Manning in her home in Newark, N. J., solved by the confession and suicide of Miss Hazel Herdman, the veiled woman who fired the fatal shots, the police of Newark, the county prosecutor and others of the authorities detained Manning, the husband of the slain woman. Though there is no doubt expressed that Miss Herdman killed Mrs. Manning through jealousy and took her own life in a sudden moment of realization of the enormity of her crime, the police can hardly believe that the dual tragedy has been entirely explained in such a brief and startling manner. Inculping no one, Miss Herdman confessed she had committed the murder because of her love for Mrs. Manning's husband and because Mrs. Manning was the only one that stood between them. Repeatedly she declared that Mrs. Manning had refused to obtain a divorce from her husband, and realizing that she and her year and a half old baby never could have their proper home without the father, she had determined to slay her rival. In her dress was found her farewell message, the last line of a note written to Manning. It read: "Take good care of baby." The story of the tragedy is one of the strangest ever written. It is the story of a girl of 19, who forsock honor, home, family and friends at the call of love; who suffered in silence for two long years until finally driven by unreasoning jealousy and the fear that her child must grow up without a name, she removed the one obstacle that stood in her way—the wife of the man she loved. With her own life ebbing fast in one of the wards of the Mountainside hospital at Mountair she told her story to Chief of Police Long. "Yes, it is true that I killed Mrs. Manning," she said. "It was the only way. I loved Charlie and he promised to marry me if he could get free. But she wouldn't let him go and I couldn't wait. So I killed her. "It wasn't easy, but I thought I could do it and live. I found I could not. I took bichioride of mercury this monging, after a night of horror, and before long I will be beyond the reach of the law." Live on 10 Cents a Day. St. Louis, Mo.—Eighty-five years old, Dr. Henry S. Tanner, who achieved fame by equalling the exploit of Elijah and other Biblical characters in fasting 40 days and 40 nights, declares that the simple life is the only solution* of the high cost of living. Furthermore, he offers to live for one year on 10 cents a day to prove not only that it is possible to do so with comfort, but that a person's health will be greatly benefited by a food schedule which calls for a dime's worth of nuts and fruit as the daily menu. HAMPTON INSTITUTE NORTH. Noted Speakers Praise Work of Well Known Southern School. The meetings held under the auspices of the Armstrong association in the Brooklyn Academy of Music Monday evening, Jan. 26, and at Carnegie hall, New York, Tuesday, Jan. 27, in the interest of the Hampton (Va.) institute were each largely attended and enthusiastic. The plantation songs and other melodies sung by the Hampton students were well rendered and highly enjoyed by the audience at both meetings. Besides the popularity of the speakers and what they said, the most interesting feature of the meetings was the moving pictures showing step by step the success of John Henry, a typical country boy from the time he left his home in Kentucky until his graduation from Hampton. The Hon. Job E. Hedges was the chief speaker at the Brooklyn meeting. He was followed by Major R. R. Moton, who made a brief address. Mr. Hedges in giving his impressions of Hampton Institute said, "Hampton is a good place for white people because it makes them whiter. There you find a sanctity of emotion that makes you ashamed. At Hampton true religion is to be found. We sometimes go to church because it is decent. They go because they've got to have it." he said. He spoke glowingly of Robert C. Ogden. "I know of no place where a dollar will breed more dollars of value than at Hampton." Major Robert R. Motou, disciplinary officer at Hampton, said: "The most serious problem of the nation is the adjustment of the relations of the two races. Hampton institute affords a common platform for all men, black and white, north and south, to meet on. "Slavery," declared Mr. Moton, "left the Negro with the impression that work with the hands was degrading and to be despised. But Hampton is doing away with this thought. The white race taught us that anything black was to be despised. Hampton has taught my race to be proud of itself. God intended that the Negro should be as good as any other race. And what will go a great way toward the solving of the problem is a belief that the colored man and a belief by the colored man in the white person." The Hon. George McAenny, president of the board of aldermen, was the chief speaker at the Carnegie hall meeting in New York. INCREASE IN FUNDS FOR FREEDMEN'S AID SCHOOLS. New Buildings and Equipment With Stronger Faculties Also Secured. The twenty-two schools under the auspices of the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church have started upon a new era this year and with the brightest prospects for the second year of the church quadrinnium in all the history of the society's work. Additional appropriations have been made to most of the institutions, the faculties have been strengthened, repairs are under way, ground has been broken for a new dormitory at Walden university, new buildings have been recently erected at Morristown Normal and Industrial college and Clafn university, and buildings under course of erection at Wiley university and Philander Smith college are being completed. Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, one of the most resourceful bishops in Methodism, has been relieved from the holding of spring conferences and is detailed by the board of bishops to lead in a campaign for the jubilee among the white conferences in particular as executive director in co-operation with the secretaries. All of the bishops resident in the south are backing Secretaries Mavety and Penn in their plans, and the brightest day in the forty-seven years' history of the society is now at hand. The schools fostered by the society and their location are: Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; Flint Medical college and hospital, New Orleans; Mehray Medical college, New Orleans; N.C.; Claflin university, Orangeburg, B.; C. Clark university, Atlanta, Ga. Sam Houston college, Austin, Tex.; New Orleans university, Holly Springs, Miss.; George R.

BINGA'S GENEROUS GIFT. Chicago Banker Donates $500 to Work of National Association. Jesse Binga, Chicago's well known banker, has given $500 to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Binga is much interested in the welfare of his race and gave this amount at the recent meeting held at Lincoln Center in Chicago after listening to Professor J. E. Spingarn's speech. He is very enthusiastic about the work of the association and thinks that the time has come for the colored people to give money and work together to retain the rights the race now enjoys and regain those which have been lost by the indifference and shortsightedness of those who in their preachments have put other things before the conservation of rights AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Recently in New York there met the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The association, according to committee reports, is growing. That is well. There can be no doubt of the need of organized effort to protect the interests and even the most elementary rights of the negro. This is an unpleasant thought, but true. The appearance of Jim Crowism in the national offices at Washington, now thrown into higher relief by the president's strange reluctance to attack it, is only one expression of the tendency to isolate and hold the negro down. Recently Mr. Hyde has described the harsh and demoralizing conditions with which the most worthy class of negroes has to cope in Chicago. There is now appearing in the south a new segregation proposal, namely, that when more than a half of the acreage of a section is owned by one race, the voters of the section may exclude ownership by members of another race. In other words, says Doctor Du Bois, here is the policy of race segregation which has resulted in the degradation and destruction of the Indians. The reminder is sharp-edged. Our mistreatment of the Indians has been admitted to be a blot on the nation's 'scutcheon. Are we to drift into an evil even greater? As Doctor Du Bols says, a quarter century ago the solution of the negro problem was formulated thus: "Take the negro out of politics. Train him for work, especially for farm work." The negro has been taken out of politics by various devices of disfranchisement which in effect annul the thirteenth amendment. This process of constitutional repeal has been accepted complaisantly by a generation preoccupied with its own material achievements and political and social problems. The results of this twofold policy, according to Doctor Du Bols and other observers are "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 industrial and agricultural field the negro has had to contend against tremendous odds." It should be said in supplement to this, that in the south white schools also have been neglected; that the south has been very poor and economically retarded, and that in many districts the poor whites are worse off than the negroes. Yet, after all factors are brought within view, the human paradox appears that wherever the negro, in spite of the staggering handicaps under which he moves, has forced himself upward he thereby places himself in competition with white men and immediately becomes the object of their opposition. What is really wanted of him is humble, useful labor. Freedom in name he is to enjoy, but not the freedom a free soul demands, the freedom to move forward, to enjoy "the blessings of liberty," freedom in the "pursuit of happiness." We shall not solve the negro problem on any such basis. The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, who said "this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free" is wisdom to day. Our policy toward the negro most certainly and most profoundly will react upon ourselves. That is a consideration which gives to the movement for the advancement of colored people the force of enlightened self interest.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Fifty-seven years of continuous service as a weaver is the remarkable record of a woman employed in a cotton mill in Saco, Moe. The National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, of which Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company, is one of the prime movers, was characterized as dangerous and misleading, and one of its Washington agents charged with fraud in a meeting of colored people in the Metropolitan church in M street, Washington. A resolution was adopted inquiring the number of school teachers and government employees who are giving their aid to the association, the manner of expenditure of money publicly collected for "the advancement of the colored people," the necessity for the existence of such an organization in the district, and whether the organization is incorporated according to the laws of the district.

IN UNION THERE IS STRength An earnest plea for the betterment of the rural colored schools of the south was made by James H. Dillard, president and director, at the annual meeting of the board of the Negro Rural school fund of the Anna T. Jeans foundation, which was held at New York a few days ago. "The city, town and village schoolhouses for the colored children are often fairly good," says Mr. Dillard, "but in the open country, where we profess to wish the people to remain, and where we profess to wish to train these country children to better country living, anything better than a disgraceful shack is rarely found for the schoolhouse." The Jeanes foundation, established five years ago, and with the active and financial co-operation of the various counties of the southern states, and that of the Phelps-Stokes fund, is carrying on an educational campaign among the rural negro population of the south. The scope of the work is so large that though more than $38,000 has been spent for teachers' salaries alone, the officers and executive committee find themselves badly handicapped for funds with which to properly extend the work of the foundation. Only $1,195 was available for repairs and equipment of schoolhouses. So great has been the increase in the number of schools, that it has been found advisable to organize a corps of supervising teachers and state supervisors. The problem of meeting the traveling expenses of these workers is by no means an easy one. In many cases they are dependent upon private contributions from patrons of the schools, where the counties have made no appropriations for the purpose. Mr. Dillard is optimistic regarding the future of the work, and feels that in spite of many handicaps, a constantly increasing appreciation and spirit of co-operation is being manifested by school officials, both state and county. More than 300 members of the congregation of St. Francis Xavier's Catholic church at Baltimore, Md., sat at a banquet in the lecture hall of the church, the occasion being the continuation of the golden jubilee celebration of the church, which was opened by Cardinal Gibbons on Sunday. The congregation of St. Francis Xavier's church is a colored one and around the table were many of the most prominent people of the colored community. Councilman Harry S. Cummings said in part: "We are all citizens of a great government to which we owe all the loyalty and patriotism which we can command. We owe respect and obedience to the law of the land and devotion to everything which makes for the prosperity of our common country. And as our president, whoever he may be in person, is the head of the government, we owe respect and loyalty to him as citizens. We, in return for this loyalty and patriotism, are entitled to receive and enjoy to its fullest extent every right granted to us under the law. And as there should be no difference in degree in our patriotism, so also should there be no difference or discrimination in according to all citizens their rights. Let us hope that our president, with all the power at his command, may see to it that all citizens may be accorded the full measure of their rights, so that each and every one of us may vie with each other in his love and devotion for our flag and our country."

Booker T. Washington finds that "Virginia is setting a great example for the rest of the south in the matter of showing how the white and colored people may co-operate for general improvement. I find." Doctor Washington adds, "that not only have the efforts of the Negro Organization society received the hearty support of the white people of the state, but that other special lines of endeavor have likewise received their most cordial support. "This is particularly true in the matter of education. Virginia was the first state to have a state supervisor of rural colored schools, and by so doing set an example for the rest of the south. The work of Jackson Davis in improving the negro schools of Virginia is an indication of how the best white people of the south are ready to give their time and talent for the betterment of conditions among negroes." Among improvements to be carried out soon on the harbor of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, is the building of an electric power plant to supply new coal loading machinery. The London (England) county council has decided to issue an order for the closing of barber shops throughout London at the same time. Canada cuts about 2,000,000 cords of pulp wood annually, about half of which is exported for manufacture in the United States. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES _ (in Advance) One!

An amendment by Senator Jones of the state of Washington to the agri- cultural extension bill, which would insure to colleges in the South, the administration of a portion of the funds proposed for farm demonstra- tion work, led to sharp debates in the U. S. Senate, last week, Thurs- day. Senator Jones had not proceed- ed far with his argument, before Sen- ator Vardaman of Mississipp!, suz- gested he had “better take a few days off_and study the question.” When Sefiator Jones said he was speaking from the results of his investigation ‘of the question, the coarse Vardaman replied: ‘Then the Senator is speak- }ing trom, the profundity of his misin- formation.” How characteristic! Then the Mississippt Negro-hater wanted to know if Senator Jones would be will ing to allow the Japanese to share in the administration of the fund allotted to the Pacific states. “Yes, if the Japanese were citizens, but they are not,” was the emphatic and sufficient response. “Well, you will admit,” continued Vardaman, “that the Japanese, in all the elements that go to make up the man, ia superior to the Negro?” “No, I do not admit that,” declared ‘Senator Jones, and the mouthy Varda- man sat down, thoroughly sauelched, remarking: ‘I can't argue with that kind of a man.” ‘Of course he couldn't: too much truth for him, and from a GENTLE. MAN, too. Senator Gallinger started Friday's argument with a statement in favor jof the Jones amendment. Vatdaman, determined to say something insult ing and mean, declared: “It would (be a godsend if the Negro was not permitted to vote in any state.” He jadded that “the Republican party was getting tired of the blacks in politics and was considering a way to get him ont of national conventions.” It would be a double “godsend” if Vardaman’s Kind were not permitted in congress and legisintures. ‘They are a libel on the intelligence of this country, and that is “putting it” mildly. Sen- ator Clapp protested vigorously that what Vardaman was saying, concern ing the inability of the Negro to ad- vance alone, was not appl{cable to those of Minnesota, while Senator Wil Tam Alden Smith of Michigan, said the possession in the South of $500, 000,000 worth of property by Negroes was a tribute to the latent ability of the race, and gave the lie to Varda man's miserable untruths, He might algo have referred to what the Afro: American has done, {n war as well as in times of peace, to make and pre- serve this great country, Read our history in every war!

How have you succeeded with the Royal Poinciana seed that I sent you? Though, 1 suppose, most of you are waiting for spring weather to plant them. I forget while it is warm here, it is very cold in Ohio. I sent all seeds who sent postage, as said, and sent to some who did ‘not send postage; but had to stop that part of the “game”, for while I’ was willing to give the seed free to any- ong, yet I found to give it and pay postage was not “cute a bit”. Hence, no doubt some were disappointed and perhaps called me pet names. I don't know. Our weather just now is beaut! ful. Windows and doors open all day. So bright and sunny, from morning till might, ‘This is the month (Febru: ary) that we plant our gardens for the spring and summer. 1 wish you could see the flowers now in bloom in the woodlands; the beautiful yel- low, Jessamine trails over bush and brit, anywhere, everywhere, and more beantiful still is the native Flor- fda Baster Lily, They are so very pretty, and are now coming into bloom, I saw the first bloom yester. day. We were down across tho river branch and there were the Raster Lily. buds. ‘They are about 1% inches in length and a brilliant pink color, In a day or two the bud is fully expanded into a fine large white Lily, Once in a while, one of the flowers are margined with a delicate. Long years ago, I used to gather these Lily buds and sell them. T sent them post-paid at 25 and 30 cents a dozen. T have sent hundreds of dozens, but am most too old now for such work. 1 am sorry, too, for I always enjoyed the work. Tn my next I will toll of other points of interest in Florida, ‘ Yours truly, Alico Warner. 2029 Hershell St, Jacksonville, Fla. EN ROUTE TO AFRICA “Chiet Sam" and 100 Afro-American Familles—Gives $500 to a Se- inl Settlement House.

Mr. Snyder took the civil service examination for as- sessor in which there were 400 appli- cants, 7 of whom were Afro-Ameri- cans. Of that number, 100 passed the examination, two being members of the race, He was eighth on the list, his average being above 90 per cent. Mr. Snyder is an old resident of Cleveland, being born here, and ob- tained his education in our public schools. He has been prominent in business and public affairs for a num- der of years, having been the first man of the race to serve as a clerk in the County Auditor's office. He also served as collector of delinquent taxes for 3 County Treasurers, was a clerk under the last decennial board of appraisement, and ward-assessor of personal taxes for 2 years. In our judgment, he is exceptionally well qualified ‘for the position he now holds.

Ex-President Wm, H. Taft in a re- cent speech, said: “It does not soothe one’s pride of country to note the num- ber of lynchings of our own citizens that go unwhjpped of justice and that are properly held up to us with scorn whenever we assume, as we too fre- quently do,- a morality higher than, and a governtient better than that of other peoples. Nor is our feeling in this regard rendered Jess acute by hearing from the governors of some of our states expressions brazenly defending and approving such lynch- ings * °° For lynchings of our own citizens within the Jurisdiction of the state, we can perhaps answer, or at least’ we are obliged to answer, that UNDER THE FORM OF OUR ‘GOY- ERNMENT SUCH CRIMES ARE A STATE MATTER, and if the people of a state will not provide for their own protection a machinery in. the administration of Justice that will pre- vent such lawless violence, and a pub- lie opinion to make {t effective, then it is for them to bear the ignominy of such a condition.” WANTED!

But it would be {dle to deny that the newspapers are not always delivering vital messages; that there are days “when the fate of the world is not in ‘the balance; and yet the newspaper “must proceed on the assumption that ‘every day is Armageddon, ‘Then one gets newspaper English at its worst. ‘Let a battle be fought in Mexico, with the attention of a continent hanging upon the issue, and the reporter will rise to his opportunity.

I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father an¢ mother, in their own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the twe brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro: hating, lawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, an¢ secking to murder me; But after being denied a new trial by the judge trying my ease, my at torney, ExJudge Lyman J.

I appeal to you for finan. cial aid, if you can assist me in any way through the columns of your paper, or otherwise, to meet. the financial demands involved, it will be greatly appreciated. My reason for sending you a copy of the Supreme Court's decision and comments, 1s for you to see clearly it was not ‘an act irying or attempting to dety the law in any way, but one of protecting my parents and my life.
