THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 24 IN UNION THERE IS STRONGTH FIRST GUN AGAINST 'PREPAREDNESS' Representative Sherwood of Ohio Makes Speech Bitterly Criticizing Wilson. STAMPS MOVEMENT AS SIMPLY HYSTERIA Naval Affairs Committee Begins Work on Naval Construction Program—Military Affairs Committee to Get Busy Wednesday. Washington, D. C.—The peace and preparedness fight got under way Tuesday in the house. Speeches, resolutions and bills for and against increased national defense and in favor of various peace proposals occupied the attention of the house. The opening gun is the battle against preparedness was fired by Representative Sherwood of Ohio, one of the oldest members of the house, a veteran of the Civil war. He bitterly criticized President Wilson's preparedness program in a speech charging that the preparedness propaganda was simply "hysteria" fostered by "militarists and armament manufacturers." From now on the fight over preparedness promises to be hot and continuous. Ofters Peace Resolutions. Representatives Campbell of Kansas and Shallenberger of Nebraska introduced resolutions looking toward peace. Representative Shallenberger proposed a commission to seek "enduring peace," to include former President Taft, Supreme Court Justice Hughes, Chairman Flood of the house foreign affairs committee and Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee. Representative Campbell's scheme proposed a world confederation of nations modeled after the United States. It would provide a world constitution almost identical with the United States constitution. A president of the world confederation and a world congress, with a seat of government in Porto Rico, would administer the affairs of the world under the scheme, formulating and enforcing international law with a strict regard for the rights of the nations of the world. The flood of bills appropriating money for armor plate plants, arsenals, navy stations, navy yards, drydocks and other war paraphernalia, which began before the holiday recess, continued. Hundreds of millions of dollars were represented in the measures introduced. Announces Break With President. Mr. Sherwood announced his break with the administration on the preparedness issue in these words: "It is with deep regret that I am unable to agree with the president on his proposed plan of national defenses. The president has rendered great service to the country by his superb diplomacy in keeping the country in the path of peace. I believe, however, he has mistaken the best popular judgment in his preparedness message. I believe the defeat of this scheme for extra taxation at this time when the federal treasury is lank and lean will command the approval and support of a majority of the people."

N.—More than fifty church dignitaries of twenty denominations attending the World Conference of Faith and Order heard a plea for universal peace. A letter from Cardinal Peter Gasparri, pledging the pope's support to the movement, was received with applause. The Right Rev. C. P. Anderson, bishop of Chicago, presided at the opening session. Fifty-seven communities have appointed representatives to the conference. Mr. Anderson reported. THE GAZETTE RUSSIANS STILL POUND AT TEUTONS Austrians Have Lost Hold of Strategic Railroad and Been Forced to Re-form. FRENCH AIRMEN CAUSE DAMAGE IN TOWNS Bombs Exploded in Center of Petrich, Causing Buildings to Collapse and Fire to Break Out—Protests Arrests of Consuls. London, England.—After more than two weeks of terrific fighting the Teuton lines in East Galicia are holding firm, according to Austrian advises from that war theater. There is little doubt, however, among military observers here that Czernowitz, the capital of Bukowina, is in grave danger, even if it has not fallen, as Reuter and Havas agency dispatches have asserted. After prolonged artillery fire the Russians attacked again Wednesday along the front in Galicia and Bukowina, but were nowhere able to break Austrian lines, according to the statement by the Austro-Hungarian war office at Berlin. Forced to Re-form. But though the Austrians have prevented the Russians from penetrating their lines, according to their official reports, they have been forced to withdraw slightly and re-form in the Czernowitz region. They already are deprived of the use of the important railroad from Czernowitz to Zalestchiky, while the line from Czernowitz to Kolomea is seriously menaced. In the Serbian theater, allied airmen, bombarding Glevgeli, southern Serbia, in the course of a reconnoissance, destroyed the sheds in the German aviation camp, according to a Havas dispatch from Athens under Tuesday's date. A delayed Renter dispatch from Saloniki says: "French aviators have been busy during the last few days over the enemy lines. They have dropped bombs on Petrich, Strumitza and other towns where troops' movements have been observed. Bombs Cause Damage. "The bombs apparently caused considerable casualties, especially in Petrich, where they were seen to explode in the center of the town, causing buildings to collapse and fire to break out." The Balkan correspondent of the Times says he learns the Bulgarian minister at Athens has had another conference with King Constantine, to whom was given an assurance of King Ferdinand's friendly intentions and unwillingness to violate Greek territory. "The minister promised," the correspondent adds, "that should Bulgarian troops cross the frontier it would be only with their allies, and they would confine themselves in the expulsion of the enemy from Saloniki without claiming any rights of occupation." "The Greek minister at Sofia has presented to Premier Radoslavoff the text of the Greek note protesting to the entente powers against the arrest of the German, Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish consuls at Saloniki," says the Overseas News Agency of Berlin. 'JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT' BUCHANAN PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO AN INDICTMENT CHARGING CONSPIRACY. New York City, — "These absurd charges will tumble of their own weight. I have a reputation of.never quitting when I start to fight. And let me tell you, I have just begun to fight." With this sizzling defi Congressman Frank Buchanan, former president of Labor's National Peace council, appeared before Judge Clayton in the United States district court Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Buchanan pleaded not guilty to the indictment charging him with conspiracy to foment labor disorders in the interests of the central powers. Prominent Lawyer Dies PROMINENT LAWYER DIESE Sandusky, O—Wendell B. Starbird, aged 58, city solicitor until last June, when he resigned on account of ill health, a leading member of the Erie county bar and well known in legal circles throughout the state, died at the Toledo State hospital early Wednesday.

Dayton, O—Harry Sierman, aged 21, was killed and Miss Edna Jones, 19, probably fatal injured Wednesday night at West Carrollton, near here, when a southbound Ohio electric car struck the couple as they stepped from in front of a northbound car. World's Conference. Garden City, L. I.-The world conference on faith and order Wednesday decided upon the first definite plan for church unity. It provided for the appointment by the various denominations of representatives to a general council. The body will gather facts concerning agreements and differences of the several faiths. Those, in turn, will be submitted to the world conference itself to be decided. The plan was submitted by George Zabriskie, treasurer of the Episcopal delegation.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I see by 'Bless Her Commissioner Henry McColl Heroine of St. Paul, Minn.—The above picture shows Commissioner Henry McColl in the act of plining upon the breast of the little 9-year-old heroine, Gertrude Hubbard, a gold medal in commemoration of her act of bravery in saving from the flames of their home, a few weeks ago, a little brother and sister. The brooch was presented by the Civic league, of which Mrs. McConnell is president, and was purchased at the suggestion of Mrs. W. J. Logue, ex-president. The presentation took place in the mayor's office recently, the copy of The Gazette just received that an opportunity may be given to the Afro-Americans of Ohio, once more, to cast a ballot for Joseph Benson Foraker. If you have that privilege, for God's sake, for your own honor, his sake, for the sake of your friends, DO YOUR FULL DUTY! Let EVERY MAN vote? Since by a supreme effort you could have saved him, politically, and made a name for yourself that would have commanded respect for many a year, YOU, The Gazette editor, did NOT fail. We all feel that Harry C. Smith can be depended on. To those who are to him, he will be true; but enough others failed, to let the best man under the sun, go down to defeat. Oh! Afro-American voters, if you have the chance again, take the advice of THE GAZETTE. Remember Foraker NEVER FAILED YOU! Be true to him, and in doing so be true to yourselves. Prove your gratitude to him; your appreciation of all he has done for you, by taking the time necessary to vote for him for anything he cares to have. There are some of us people in Oregon, who will pray for a chance to vote for him, and if it comes, we will surely cast the ballot. Do you think for one moment that we would be so humiliated by the warring countries of Europe if Foraker were in the White House? Not much! And there would be no war for this country either.

FIRST IN CHURCH PROPERTY Report of the Hon. John L. Rockey Gives Full Credit to the Achievements of the Colored People In Keystone State—Farm Valuation Amounts to $2,463,100. The final chapter on the colored population of the United States, with special reference to the race in Pennsylvania, is given in the recent report of the Hon. John L. Rockey, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics, made to the Hon. Henry Houck, secretary of internal affairs, at Harrisburg, Pa. The report in part says: The center of the Negro population, which in 1750 was in the southern part of Virginia, has been shifting to the southwest constantly and for a number of decades has been in the northern part of Alabama. As to the shades of color of the people, a division into two classes, black and mulatto, gave a proportion of 79.1 per cent of the former and 20.9 per cent of the latter, but the mulatto class increase since the 1900 census was 5.5 per cent. The Negroes of the United States, considered by sex, were about equally divided, there being 98.9 females for every 100 males. In point of residence about one-third lived in towns, the remaining two-thirds being classed as rural population. The school attendance of all ages of Negroes was 53.2 per cent as against 78.1 per cent of whites of like ages. The Negro population of Pennsylvania in 1910 numbered 193,919, an increase of 37,034, or 23.6 per cent, over the 1900 census returns. Thus the state ranked fourteenth in the Union in point of such population. For the past twenty years the Negro population of the state has constituted 2.5 per cent of the entire inhabitants. By far the greater number, 156,333, or 80.0 per cent, lived in towns, only 37,586, or 19.4 per cent, being classed as rural population. The Negroes of Pennsylvania born in this state numbered 84,960, or much less than one-half of the entire number. Large numbers born in other states were 5.788 in Delaware, 9.755 in North Carolina, 20.030 in Maryland, 48.953 in Virginia and 2.937 in the District of Columbia. No other state equaled the latter in number, the remaining nativity being from many other points. A division of the population as to sex indicated that there were 2,250 more females than males, or, stated in another form, there were but 97.7 Negroes for every 100 Negro females. In 1900 a reverse condition prevailed, there being 102.4 males for every 100 females. Three of the male Negroes in the state and sixteen females were reported to be more than 100 years old. The Negroes of the state engaged in agriculture numbered 585. The farms were 543, with an area of 30,097 acres, two-thirds of which were improved. These farms had a value of $2,468,100 and were located in forty-nine counties of the state. Eighteen counties had no Negro farms. Counties having more than ten such farms were Allegheny, 18; Beaver, 12; Bucks, 20; Chester, 112; Delaware, 21; Fayette, 29; Franklin, 18; Greene, 11; Junatla, 16; Lawrence, 16; Lancaster, 40; Montgomery, 22; Washington, 49, and York, 38. The Negroes of the state decreased 7.2 per cent in number, but the value of those in 1910 was 32 per cent greater than those in 1900. The male Negroes of the state, fifteen or more years old, 72,613 in number, had marital relations as follows: 38.4 per cent were single; 54.3 per cent were married and 14.3 per cent were widowed. Two hundred and forty-eight were divorced. Of the 73,673 females of like ages there were 386 divorces; 30.1 per cent were single, 54.5 per cent were married, and 14.4 per cent were widows. The religious life of the Negro population of the state found expression through 428 church organizations, having 20,613 communicated male and 34,661 female members. The 387 houses of worship, capable of seating 129,988 persons, had a value of $3,491,205, and there were ninety-eight parsonages, valued at $248,700. No other northern state even approximated Pennsylvania in any of the above features. A creditable showing was also made in the school life of the Negroes of the state; $2.90 per cent of children under fourteen years of age, 22,475 were school attendants. The white children of native birth exceed that by but 6 per cent, and foreign born white children had an attendance of 3 per cent less. The entire Negro school attendance was 27,797, of whom 448 were more than twenty-one years of age. Anniversary of the St. Cyprian Lodge. The St. Cyprian lodge No. 13. Free and Accepted Masons, of Pittsburgh, celebrated the seventy-sixth anniversary of its organization on Tuesday evening, Dec. 28. A. I. Billows is the only living member of those who constituted St. Cyprian lodge in 1830. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE'S ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. National Organization Holds Eighth Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. The eighth annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, held for three days in Philadelphia, closed on Wednesday evening, Dec. 15, with an exercise commemorative of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the United States constitution. There were many men and women of national prominence in attendance, and much public interest was manifested in the work of the organization. The address to the country is in part as follows: It is on the fiftieth anniversary of the final and constitutional abolition of chattel slavery in the United States of America that we, American citizens of color, assemble in Philadelphia, the state of the great reconstruction statesman, Thaddeus Stevens, who carried the thirteenth amendment through our national house of representatives. After a half century of freedom, during which the colored American has achieved remarkable educational, religious and business progress and demonstrated the highest human possibilities, the National Equal Rights league in eighth annual meeting assembled finds that Americans of African descent are still denied in many sections of the land their legal rights: By law the right to vote on the same terms as others, native and naturalized; by practice the right to enter places of public accommodation and resort; by law the right to use public facilities without the indignity of racial discrimination; by law the right to reside, even in their own property, adjacent to their fellow citizens; by action of the federal government the right to work beside and to use the necessary health accessories with other employees of the federal government in some government buildings at the national capital; by practice the right of trial by court and jury when accused of crime. Therefore we issue this call to action to the proscribed and oppressed and to all others who believe in liberty, equality of rights and human brotherhood. Colored Americans, begin the second half century of legal freedom by combining to organize, agitate and vote, where permitted, for the preservation of that freedom, that enjoyment of identical civil and political rights with others, that exemption from galling discriminations in the public life, which were bought at the price of billions of treasure and of the health and lives of millions of white and colored patriots. Let us here resolve that under God we shall use our voices, our pens, our patronage, our votes, our money and every resource that God has put in our power for the abolition of segregation, distranchissement and lynching on the color line, undismayed that a president rules in the White House unwilling, despite his pre-election plea, to rise above the narrow provincial color prejudice of section. Let us face the forces of prejudice and, spurning the bribe ever offered for voluntary segregation, honor the deeds of the abolitionists and refuse to sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. To our fellow Americans of every race we appeal for an equal chance and fair play. Friends of the republic, save free institutions, save the fruits of the civil war, save the fair name of our common country now besmirched by worse prescription than in any civilized land. Demand incessantly that race and color discrimination shall cease and there shall not in the beasted land of the free be a reversion to a caste of color, now reaching even into the national government. The officers of the league for 1916 are the following named persons: President. Rev. Byron Gunner, New York; recording secretary, Dr. J. L. Johnson, Ohio; assistant recording secretary, Maurice W. Spencer, Delaware; corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, Massachusetts; treasurer, Thomas Walker, District of Columbia; financial secretary, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Pennsylvania; national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New York; assistant organizer, Rev. J. E. Churchman, New Jersey; chapman, Rev. E. George Biddle, Connecticut; vice presidents, Rev. M. W. Thornton, Massachusetts; William D. Brigham, Massachusetts; Francis Warren, Michigan; W. Ashby Hawkins, Maryland; Rev. E. W. Moore, Pennsylvania; George W. Ellis, Illinois; Rev. W. F. Graham, Pennsylvania; and Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, Pennsylvania. Brooklyn Smart Set's Crack Sprinter. Harry M. Martin of the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn has a long string of victories to his credit. He makes high hurdling his specialty and has won in most of the events in which he has competed. At Washington park, in Brooklyn, he won the 120 yard high and also the low events. One day he won the 100 yard dash in 10 1-5 seconds and was first in the 220 yard low hurdles, in which he lowered the record to 26 4-5 seconds. At the national juniors in Baltimore in September he won the low and came third in the 440 yard special. James Herring as Landscape Painter. The colored race has produced a number of sculptors and painters who have attained high rank in their profession. Among the landscape painters who won prizes during 1915 is James Herring, who was awarded first prize among twenty-five artists exhibiting at Syracuse. N. Y. Mr. Herring has received many encouraging letters from artists of note congratulating him upon its success. IN DEMOCRACY PY FIVE CENTS LAMAR SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILURE Associate Justice of Supreme Court Dives Suddenly at Home in Washington. DEATH IS CULMINATION OF SEVERE COLD The Interment Was at Augusta, Ga., on Wednesday—Taft, Who Appointed Lamar, May Be His Successor. Washington, D. C.—Associate Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar of the supreme court of the United States died Sunday night of heart failure at his home, 1751 New Hampshire-av N. W. He suffered a stroke of paralysis, due to a clot on the brain, at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., on Sept. 4 and had attended to no official duties since that date. Recently he contracted a severe cold, which affected his already weakened heart, and his condition grew gradually more critical. At noon Justice Lamar lapsed into unconsciousness and remained in that state until his death. His wife and two sons, William and Philip Lamar, were at his bedside when the end came. JOSEPH RUCKER LAMAR Interment was at Augusta, Ga., on Wednesday. Services were held at the family residence Tuesday afternoon. Justice Lamar was 58 years old. He was born at Ruckersville, Ga., Oct. 14, 1857. He attended the University of Georgia and later Bethany college, where he graduated in 1857. He studied also at the law school of Washington and Lee university and was admitted to the bar at Augusta in 1878. He practiced law in Augusta and in 1886-88 was a member of the house of representatives of Georgia. On Jan. 1, 1901, he was appointed to fill an unexpired term as associate justice of the supreme court of Georgia and was elected to the position at the following general election. He resigned in 1905 on account of his health and resumed the practice of law. Taft May Be Given Place. President Taft appointed him associate justice of the supreme court of the United States on Dec. 12, 1910. The nomination was confirmed by the senate on Dec. 17, and he took the oath of office Jan. 3, 1911. The probable retirement of Justice Lamar on account of ill health has been a subject of discussion for several weeks. Former President Taft and Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane have been mentioned in connection with the vacancy. FORD IS BACK, CLAIMS MISSION NOT FAILURE Auto Manufacturer Now Tlinks People, Not Bankers and Arms Makers, Caused Great War. New York City.—Henry Ford, who headed the pilgrimage to Europe to "get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas," returned on the steamer Bergensfjord. He has changed his views and almost in appearance since he sailed on Dec. 4 on the Oscar II, which steamer he chartered for the trip. His face is more drawn and pinched and his optimism has changed to at least conservatism. "When I left the United States," he said, "I was of the opinion that bankers and manufacturers of war mumitions held it in their power to end this terrible struggle. Since I have carefully looked into the matter, however, I find that it is the people themselves—those who are being slaughtered—who hold that power." Henry Ford and William Jennings Bryan laid new plans for restoring peace in Europe. Mr. Ford was joined at the Waldorf by Mr. Bryan. Twenty Injured in Fire Philadelphia, Pa.—Twenty persons were injured, six seriously, two of whom will die, in a fire that destroyed the Bellevue apartments early in the evening: Mrs. Elizabeth Ostrum and two children of Mrs. Nellie Buchard are missing.

There was no lynching in Ohio, last year. Be sure to read carefully the poem, "Georgia's New Marching Song." It fits about all the southern states, too. We "thank" the Houston (Tex.) breeman for the compliment (?) it paid the editors of the Boston Guardian, Richmond Planet and The Gazette, recently. The N. I. E. R. League's address to the country, to be found elsewhere in this paper, is a strong one and worthy a careful reading. Call your friends' attention to it. Georgia and Mississippi made the last month of 1915 one long to be remembered. Horrible lynch-murders! We simply cannot find words to express our feelings. Now that there is a remote possibility of this country being drawn into war, "the Negro makes a good soldier; has endurance, courage and takes pride in the work" appears frequently in the daily newspapers, and magazines, "Twas ever thus. The Gazette is indebted to the St. Paul (Minn.) Ploneer Press, possibly the leading daily newspaper in the great northwest, for the excellent portrait, of Commissioner McColl and our little heroine, Gertrude Hubbard, published on our first page today, and to Editor John Quincy Adams, of the St. Paul Appeal, for assistance in securing the same. By the way, do not fall to note the Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star's "appreciation" of our long-time friend and confre, Editor Adams, published elsewhere in this paper. "Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire" is an old and oftimes a very true saying. This leads us to observe that an investigation, a thorough one, could not injure the Cleveland Home for Aged Colored People and might result in great good to its management and the inmates, as well as satisfy the community. If there is an investigation, it should be conducted by our best men and women, so confidence can be had in its findings, and an end put to the continued complaints which can but harm, and greatly too, the work of the institution: DEMOCRATS DISCINIMATE AGAINST OUR PEOPLE. Among the numerous other particulars in which his preaching has differed from his practice, President Wilson can point to his record in the matter of race discrimination. In his speech at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1914, he said that "we make no differences between one race and another," and that "we do not set up any barriers against any particular people." On other occasions, particularly while he was a candidate for the Presidency, he gave assurances that he would not discriminate against our citizens of the United States. Notwithstanding these assurances of support of the principle of equality before the law and in governmental affairs, great discrimination has been practiced not only in the departments over which he has indirect control, but also in appointments that are made by the President himself. Under Republican administrations the policy was pursued of appointing an Afro-American to fill a cavancy created by the resignation, death, or expiration of term of a member of the race. This policy was reversed by the Democratic administration, and the following Afro-Americans have been succeeded by "white" men, southern democrats, as a rule: William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, $5,000; J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, $4,000; Charles W. Anderson, Coll. Int. Rev., New York, $4,500. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, $4,508....

To make up for this wholesale dismissal of Afro-Americans from federal office, President Wilson has made just two appointments of our people and those are Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C., and Hon. James L. Curtis, the new Minister to Liberia, Africa. There is absolutely no doubt of it, "the South is in the saddle" at the nation's capital and in the government of the country. Therefore, Afro-Americans "need not apply"—only democrats, mostly southern democrats, ex-rebels being preferred of course. --- Mrs. Patricia Robison, a friend of the race, a former resident of Ohio, and for years a reader of the "old reliable" Gazette, to which she has contributed many excellent articles, has a strong appeal elsewhere in this paper that speaks for itself. Let us hear from others of our many readers along the same line. We want Mrs. Patricia Robison. to know how our people, as well as others, feel toward our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's probable candidacy. Are you ready to do your clear DUTY toward him if he enters the race for delegate-at-large from Ohio to the next Republican national convention to convene in Chicago, June 7, this year? "THE WORM TURNS" AT LAST Our good people of this city have made it plain to Gov. Frank B. Willis in the last two weeks, that they do not propose longer to quietly submit to the appointment of Afro-Americans to office, as their representatives, who would be objectionable to any good class of people. The fact that "white" political leaders can use the objectionable members of the race, whose preference they seek, does not justify their appointment, but only greatly magnifies the insult given when they are pushed forward for representative positions, be they ever so small, by politicians who thus show so little regard and respect for the great mass of our people. These same "white" politicians, and not Gov. Willis, have in recent years, here in Cleveland, insulted our people so often in this way that they have grown bold, defiant and even arrogant, with the result that they have forced our representative citizens to take the stand they have, and in no uncertain way, during the past two weeks. IT WILL BE MAINTAINED, TOO, TO THE VERY END, and for all time in the future. Our Governor is a good man, a friend of the race. Of that we are positive. Therefore, there is no need of fear, as far as he and his administration are concerned, once he thoroughly understands the situation. And there is no doubt in our minds but that he does understand the present one, and thoroughly, too, certain local white political leaders and their few followers of color to the contrary notwithstanding. NEW YEAR'S GREETING. The finest of ships is friendship, And the noblest upon life's sea; May we each enjoy a long voyage, And as long, fellow-voyagers be. May the year, just begun, be your greatest, And all your good projects win. May peace and contentment surround you And often your "ship come in." —Ed. O. Peets.

WILLIAM N. PAGE DEAD. One of the Most Active and Successful Members of the Race in the "Twin Cities." Pittsburgh, Pa. — William Nelson Page, age 46, manager of the Courrier, died Tuesday morning, in Washington, D.C. after an illness of a few days, death being due to bronchial pneumonia. He died at mother-in-law, Mrs. Malissa Taylor's, where he and family had gone to spend the holidays. M. B. William N. Page. For the past 26 years Mr. Page has been employed as private secretary to one of the officials of the Carnegie Steel Co. He rose from a clerkship to a full-time work perseverance. The success of the Courier is largely due to his energetic efforts and efficient management. He was also instrumental in establishing our local Y. M. C. A., and for a number of years was secretary of the well-known American Institute. Indeed he was one of its founders. Mr. Page is survived by a widow, a son, a daughter, and parents. OLD FOLKS' HOME COMPLAINT. Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir:—I wish that you would investigate the statement that the Old Folks' home for our people "is a graft and should not be supported by the people." The secret society to which "Mandy" King, Capt. Thomas King's widow, belongs donated money for her to enter the home. She had a talk with those in charge of it and she says that when you turn over all of your insurance papers to them, and are asked to sign an agreement that when sick you will go to the City hospital, known as Scranton Road hospital; in other words, "the poor house." Mrs. King told them she would not do that; that she could go to the "poor house" without her friends contributing a certain amount of money. She was told that unless she would present to the hospital, in question, when sick they could not take her into the home. At any rate, the money was returned to where it came from. I understand that Mrs. Gregory died in the infirmary, having paid one hundred and fifty dollars in gold to enter the Old Folks' home. When she got sick she was sent to the City hospital. Also she would present to the hospital, Mrs. Essie Brown died at the infirmary and its City hospital, respectively. Do you think it right that they demand a stipulated amount of money to enter the home, and then, when sick, for them to send you to the "poor house?" You don't have to pay to get into the "poor house." I would ask, is the Old Folks' home run by a society, a company or a corporation? Please investigate and let the people know. JOB MITCHELL. A WOMAN LYNCH-MURDERED After Being Dragged Through the Streets, He Was Battered by White Brutes. Columbus, Miss.—On Dec. 9, Mrs. Cordella Stevenson was found naked, early in the morning, hanging to a limb of a tree, dead. She had been lynched the night previous after a mob had visited her cabin, taken her from her husband and maltreated her. The body was found about fifty yards north of the Mobile in the mountains, pursued by passengers that came in and out of that city that morning were horrified at the sight. The bloodthirsty mob dragged her through the streets and carried her to a far-off spot. There is no law below the "Mason and Dixon" line that caused them to fear: no officer in the police department that dared to put out a fire in the city's circles at Washington, D.C., that had enough backbone to enforce the constitution of the United States. This the mob knew; so they went on with their ghastly work. J. Q. ADAMS. Editor of St. Paul Appeal—Deserved Praise—A Correct Estimate. The Twin City Star extends its best wishes for a prosperous New Year to our good friend and contemporary Editor Adams of The Appeal. Mr. Adams is one of the veteran Negro journalists, who has continued in editorial work for thirty years. He is a gentleman and a scholar and has the most extensive library of cuts and files found anywhere. Over 1,000 cuts and a number of copies of every edition are kept in regular order. He is assisted by his son John J. Adams, who published the publication of The Appeal. Mr. Adams has always shown us every courtesy and we hope to continue our friendship through reciprocity—Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star. AGENTS WANTED To sell "The Life of Dr. Booker T.

GEORGIA'S NEW MARCHING SONG The human vultures' talons grope Beneath a bloody moon; The pyres upon the southern slope Make midnight into noon. And that old song of freedom's hope Turns to a torture tune: Hooray! hooray! the law of God we break! Hooray! hooray! the handy rope we take! Break his bones upon the stones and burn him at the stake. When we go lynchning in Georgia The law? The law? What is the law To lust of humankind? The torch we light; the rope we draw; The staring eyes we blind! And through the air all red and raw Our song shrieks down the wind: Hooray! hooray! the rope is running through! Hooray! hooray! his minutes they are few. String him high where buzzards fly on dirty work to do. When we go lynching in Georgia! That we come forth to slay. We are the dogs of satan's pack, And thus we bark our way: Hooray! hooray! our teeth are in his throat! Hooray! hooray! his soul to hell we float! Beat him down and let him drown be- neath the devil's boat. neath the devil's boat, to borough Georgia. —John O'Keean in New York World. LYNCHING RECORD FOR 1915. During 1915, there were 69 lynchings; 55 Negroes and 14 whites. This is six more Negroes and 11 more whites than were put to death by mobs in 1914, when the record was 49 Negroes and three whites. Included in the record are three women. In at least four instances, it later developed that the persons put to death were innocent of the offenses charged. In most cases, no man was involved in the total lynchings, occurred in Georgia. All Negroes lynched without semblance of a trial and on charges only. Only 11, 10 Negroes and one white, or 15, per cent of the total, were charged with rape. Other offenses, charged only, and number lynched because of the same, were: Murder, 17; 5 whites and 12 Negroes. Killing offenders, 12; 5 Negroes.

Editor Gazzetta, Dear Mr. Smith:—I appreciate the noble fight and victory you have gained in our state against the objectionable photo-plays, and I am exceedingly proud to know that we have one man among our citizens of this state who is not a judge to start a war. We need more and we need more are more Harry C. Smiths. While I have read a great deal about the objectionable photo-plays, being reproduced in our larger cities, they have not as yet reached my city. You can rest assured that I will be on the alert and use every effort within my power to have the objectionable photo-plays barred from the city, and the objectionable parts of others, named the Gazzetta, eliminated from the films. We have just begun to wake up, in Hamilton, to our duties, by organizing a protective association for our citizens. I will be glad to, or also have our secretary, write you any news of interest or anything that will be interesting to The Gazzetta's readers. Please enroll me as a yearly sub scriber, beginning Jan. 1, 1916. Yours truly, R. B. MOSELEY. PROLIFIC "WHITES"! Springfield, Mo. — W. B.

Trustees of Alabama School Plan to Raise Big Endowment Fund. A dispatch from Tuskegee, Ala., on Tuesday, Dec. 14, states that after an all day session the trustees of the Tuskegee institute failed to elect a successor to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and referred the matter to a special committee, composed of Chairman Seth Low, Vice Chairman W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, Ala.; Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery, Ala.; Frank Trumbull of New York and Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago. The creation of a $2,000,000 Booker T. Washington memorial endowment for the Tuskegee institute was authorized by the institute's trustees, who announced that $450,000 had already be pledged, some of it contingent upon raising the remainder. Colonel Roosevelt had a full and busy day at Tuskegee, spending the larger part of the morning in the trustees' session. Under Warren Logan, the treasurer, and Emmett J. Scott, the secretary, the institute work can be carried on without interruption until the committee names a new principal, the dispatch says. The only names mentioned by the trustees as a possible successor to the great Negro educator were Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, and Major R. R. Moton, command of cadets at Hampton institute. Scott for eighteen years was Dr. Washington's secretary and intimate coworker in building up the work of the school. The following statement regarding the Booker T. Washington memorial fund was issued: "Tuskegee institute is Booker T. Washington's monument, and his most fitting memorial is the perpetuation of its great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150,000. It is not desired to close this gap so completely as to make the institute independent of the interest and support of the living, but it is desired to reduce this gap to manageable proportions. "The trustees therefore propose to invite subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund of $2,000.000 for the continuance of the institute and of the work for the Negro race which centers there." "It is hoped and expected that $250,000 of this sum will be given by Negroes, out of which fund a suitable memorial for Booker T. Washington shall be erected on the grounds of the institute. The trustees have already received subscriptions of more than $450,000, some of which, but not all, are conditional upon larger sums being raised. "The colored people may therefore feel that every dollar they give will be met more than dollar for dollar by gifts from white people. The fund to be invited from the Negro people will be managed from Tuskegee institute and will be under the charge of Emmett J. Scott, secretary. Other subscriptions to the memorial fund should be sent to William G. Willcox, treasurer of the investment committee, 3 South William street, New York city, or to the treasurer of the institute, Warren Logan, Tuskegee institute, Alabama." SOUTHERN JIMCROW LAWS. How the Grandfather Clause Failed In Maryland and Oklahoma. In answer to a correspondent who asks the following questions: "Have any changes been made recently in the laws by which Negroes were disfranchised in the southern states? What are or were these laws, and when did they begin to go into effect?" The New York Times says: "The chief method used in disfranchising the Negro is the southern states has been and is a high educational test as a qualification for voting, which includes the ability to 'interpret' any part of a state constitution. The so called 'grandfather clause', by which any person who voted in or before 1867 or 1898 (the details of the law differed in different states) was entitled to a vote, was nullified by the United States supreme court for the states of Maryland and Oklahoma on June 21, 1915. "The first constitutional convention disfranchising the Negro was that held in Mississippi in 1890, when the educational qualification mentioned above was made part of the constitution of the state. Previous to that time the imposition of a poll tax was for some years effective in the southern states. "The other constitutional means of disfranchising the Negro, to quote Professor Charles A. Beard's 'Contemporary American History,' are 'a small property qualification' and 'the wide extension of disfranchisement for crimes by including such offenses as obtaining money under false pretenses, adultery, wife beating, petit larceny, fraudulent breach of trust among those which work deprivation of the suffrage.'" Mrs. Susan Gillies Dies In 115th Year. Mrs. Susan Gillies, whose death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Julia Thomas in Brooklyn, Dec. 12, was reputed to have been 115 years of age. According to Mrs. Thomas' statement, who is herself over eighty-four years of age, Mrs. Gillies was born on a plantation in Virginia in 1800. The deceased was a member of the Concord Baptist church, with which she had been connected for the past half century. Easily Digested. According to careful laboratory experiments, white flour is more easily digested, but whole wheat and graham flour have a greater amount of protein. White flour yields 1,150 calories a pound and whole wheat only 1,140 calories. The best bread flour is that which takes the greatest amount of moisture and the best pastry flour that which takes the least. Optimistic Thought. He is the best prophet who makes the best guesses. POTENT FACTOR IN CIVILIZATION LIBERAL GIVING APPROVED. Dr. C. V. Roman Makes Able Negative Answer to the Question, "Is Church Money Wasted?"—Race Needs More Thrift and Religion, Says Noted Physician. Dr. C. V. Roman, the eminent physician of Nashville, Tenn., is not only a leader in his chosen profession, but is also one of the most widely read and cultured men of our race. He is a devout churchman and an active worker in many ways for racial advancement. He is gifted as an author and writer and is an orator of charming personality. In discussing the question "Is Church Money Wasted?" in his book on racial solidarity Dr. Roman says: This is a question often asked flippantly and is hastily answered in the affirmative. It is a common thing to hear some one compute the number of dollars that colored people have put into the churches and then proceed to speculate on how much more good it would do if it were in factories, stocks A. B. C. V. DOMAN, M. D. and bonds or commercial enterprises. Those who speak thus do so without a careful consideration of all the facts. The church is a very powerful influence in the progress of civilization and the evolution of the race. It may be possible for civilization to exist without religion, but there is no historic evidence that it ever has done so and there is nothing in the present status of things to indicate that it ever will do so. Then it follows that had we no churches we would have no religion, and without religion we would have no civilization, and without civilization what would stocks and bonds or factories or commercial enterprises be worth? So, then, money invested in churches is not wasted. There is something elevating and inspiring about the buildings. Their educative value is almost beyond computation. A community of worshipers that builds a fine church is usually a well behaved and refined community. Hence money put in fine churches is a good investment. Putting money in churches does not prevent the accumulation of money and prosperity by thrift and honest energy, but encourages it. Communities that contribute liberty to churches are usually prosperous in other directions. The same is true of individuals. Those who pay their church obligations promptly and faithfully are usually those that are successful otherwise. Faithful church membership never hinders an individual's business success, and building good churches never overcomes a race. What the Negro race needs today is more thrift and more religion. Leave off excursions and barrooms and put your money in churches and homes, and property will come. Every kind of honorable business will thrive. The Negro's cup of gall will turn to nectar. In fact, we will realize the beautiful dream of the prophet: "The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." Attainments of Miss Gladys Caution. In the municipal civil service examination for playground work in New York Miss Gladys Caution stood second on the list of 1,500 applicants. She was assigned to duty at the playground in the downtown section of Brooklyn near the Brooklyn bridge. Miss Caution is one of our best qualified young women for social service work. Sad Pliot of the Voteless Citizen. The ballot is the medium through which the sovereign American citizen expresses his voice in government. When deprived of the ballot the citizen ceases to be a sovereign citizen and is reduced to the object and repignant attitude of a subject citizen, impotent and helpless to correct abuses heaped upon him unworthy. Effects of Opposition The effects of opposition are wonderful. There are men who rise refreshed on hearing of a threat—men to whom a crisis which intimidates and paralyzes the majority, comes graceful and beloved as a bride! Emerson. Always Something to Learn. Minds are improved by contact with wiser minds; and the wiser you are the more people you will find that in some points know more than you do. MME.C.H.
