Manning at New York Meeting Eloquent Lawyer Protests Against Miarepresentation in Some Southern States. New York. The hearty cooperation between white and colored citizens in movements for the good of the masses of both races in various sections of the country is an indication of the growth in friendliness of the two races toward a better understanding of their problems and how to solve them. The great mass meeting in appreciation of the Hon. Joseph C. Manning held in New York recently, was therefore, a wise and timely movement on the part of our people. For thirty years Mr. Manning has championed the cause of our race in the south. He believes that the race is entitled to the ballot, has a right to the protection of the law as given in the constitution and its amendments. A right is a just claim. Among the prominent and influential men who delivered addresses in commemoration of Mr. Manning's work were HON. JOSEPH C. MANNING. the Hon. Edward F. Crain of the Republican club, this city; Attorney Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, N. J.; Hon. George E. Wibcau of Brooklyn, Colonel William M. P. Bowen, chairman of the Republican city committee, Providence, R. I. Mr. Bowen is a distinguished barrister and a diligent advocate of the principles of human justice. In his address Mr. Bowen in part said: "I count it a privilege to join with you all in this merited tribute to the work of Hon. Joseph C. Manning. He has felt the iron hand of Bourbon rule, he has reached many minds that count and he has often, almost unmissed, kept burning the light that shows the way to a just freedom. I wish that I might say the people of the north have appreciated his devotion as they might, but in the generality of the application of southern misrepresentation, in the multiplication of their own individual interests and in the overshadowing European struggle, I fear that all our people have not yet urged their consciences as they should to action on this important subject. It has remained for you in this serried meeting to emphasize the voice of those who have loved justice and lusted iniquity." Political Reforms Needed. "Eashins and mankind move in recurring cycles. Some years ago, through Mr. Mannings efforts in the collection of convincing evidence, a large number of franklyly elected Democratic congressmen were elected from their seats. Today there is a growing discussion of suggested changes in the national election laws to prevent in future the wholesale robbery of the federal franchise by one portion of the country to maintain its political ascendency at Washington, through strangling the vote and carrying off his vote. "We in the north and west have a direct concern in the presidential office and in the membership of the congress. It is no mere matter of local interest, whether justifiable in local public opinion or not." Southern suppression of the national ballot, both black and white, is playing the game with loaded dice and doesn't give the rest of the country a fair shake. Our property and our human rights are handled in such a way as the preponderating south and its allies may dictate, irrespective of what the actual majority of the whole people in this country may desire. In the language of the street, the tail wags the dog. "Now, what are we going to do about it? Well, let us see." "We can protest to our southern friends and arouse their sense of justice. That protest has already been made and doubtless its truth has been felt by some, but the dominant political organizations of the south have smiled amiably, filed the protests away in the attic with grandfather's clock, thrown out some narrowing suggestions about not "wiving the bloody shirt" or "stirring up sectional feeling," and continued carefully to hang on to what they already have. This is all interesting, but unprofitable. "What else is suggested? A national election law—call it what you will—that recognizes the right of every citizen of the United States of America to vote without intimidation for president and vice president and for senators and representatives in the congress and to have his vote honestly counted as cast. No longer should membership in the federal house of representatives be based upon population alone, but the provisions of Section 2 of the fourth amendment to the federal constitution should be made a living force rather than exist as a mere scrap of paper. For one thing at least bipartisan federal inspectors of elections throughout the United States would generally give the country the facts upon which to reduce properly the representation in the congress from those states where the national franchise is denied or abridged. American Autocracy Condemned. American Autocracy Condemned. "We discuss today a state of war with the German empire for interfering with the rights of American commerce and of American citizens to use the free goods, and we urge pledging common sense to counter the ruthless doctrine of shaking ships without warning in a violation of international law which affects our lives, safety and property. But as a nation we have remained too indifferent to the beam in our own eye. We have condemned foreign autocracy and apologized for American, but we haven't yet effectively stopped either. "How shall we bring about appropriate and effective national action on the southern question? In just the good old way that we Americans always employ, whether at the grocery senate, the crossroads, the clubs or the mass meetings. What did the argomants do, the early settlers, the colonists, the forty-niners, the abolitionists, and today what are the prohibitionists and women suffraghists doing? They acted; they are acting. And so must we until the congress acts. Clean House at Home! "The American people 'maintaining their rights is almost not forget to clean house at home, must not forget to spread the gospel of equal national rights, human justice and liberty as an actual fact and not a mere theory. "When that is done state, rights will keep step willingly with national and naturally adjust themselves to their censure. We can all do missionary work in this cause, by discussing it with our neighbors, by pushing it forward in the press, the magazines and in public gatherings. And lastly, but not least, let us support with such means as we can afford the work of those who, like Mr. Manning, are devoting their lives and their labor to the cause of truth. Supply the slews of war and his tried leadership will do the rest without fear or favor and without faltering, but with boundless enthusiasm and winning the victory. BAPTISTS CALL MEETING. Nashville, Tenn., Selected For Executive Session of Unincorporated Body. The annual meeting of the executive committee of the national Baptist convention (unincorporated) will be held in Nashville, Tenn., on Thursday, June 14. The first session of the committee will be held at 10 o'clock a.m. Besides the work of preparing the program for the next annual meeting of the sold convention, which is to be held at Albany, Ga., in September, the committee will pay many other important matters to chalk its attention. All the presidents at large from each state and territorial convention and the elected officers of the national Baptist convention, the chairman and secretaries of the various boards are members of the executive committee and are urged to present. There will be reduced rates on practically all railroads to Nashville on account of the Sunday school congress. It is therefore urged that the members arrange to reach Nashville not later than noon Tuesday, June 13. Every member is urgently requested to notify the secretary whether he can or cannot attend. CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Edwin B. Fairweather is on a business tour to Belize in co-operation with A. B. Starr, chief engineer of a New York corporation, to investigate the possibilities of the Coline palm nut resources at Belize and vienna. Mr. Fairweather has gained considerable experience by travel and contact with business men of South and Central America and has first hand knowledge of the methods used in handling marketable tropical products to advantage. On his return to New York the coming summer Mr. Fairweather will discuss with his business associates the entire situation, giving account of conditions as he found them. Whether he will establish the palm nut business, in New York depends upon whether a sufficient supply of the product can be regularly obtained to warrant the outlay in capital it will take to establish the industry. Defender Proaches Sound Doctrine. The Chicago Defender in speaking editorially of racial attitude in our country's present crisis says, "We will brush aside the hundred and one reasons why we should not shoulder arms for the defense of our country and remember the thousand reasons why we should." AMERICA NOBLE M. JOHNSON. Well Known Actor Who is Showing Some Interesting Developments of Race Progress. In a Hitherto Untried Field Amply Prepared For His Work and Is Winning His-Laurels. The progress of the colored people of the United States in education, business and the various professions is creditable and worthy of commendation. There are few avenues of industry into which some member of the race has not engaged with measurable success. This advance is largely due to education, aspiration and able leadership through organized effort. In this connection we doubt if any organization has been more helpful than the National Negro Business league. In the new field of development of racial activities, such as light dramas, vaudeville and photoplayers the race is making splendid headway. The Lincoln Motion Picture company, with headquarters in Los Angeles and a branch office in Philadelphia, is one of the most potent movements launched by Negro capital. The company has for its object the presentation of motion pictures showing Negro progress as portrayed by Negro characters. It offers a direct contradiction to the films that present the Negro in an altogether circumcenss, light. In this direction the company has done much toward educating the public relative to the best side of the Negro's life and to break down impressions, based altogether upon prejudice and injustice. The company was organized primarily to meet this condition and to furnish to the ambiguous young men and women of the race an unexploded field. The president of the company is Noble M. Johnson, who is one of the best known young men in his life among us. Mr. Johnson is employed with the Universal Photoshop company and has starred in such well known photo dramas as "Intolerance." "The Western Governor's Humanity." "The Death Warrant." and others. He knows every phase of the business, and in this direction he is able to bring to his work the background that is necessary to make it real and interesting. The officers are Dr. J. Thomas Smith, vice president and treasurer, and Clarence A. Brooks, secretary, all of whom are well known business men. The entrance of the Negro into this need, which is the fifth greatest industry in the world, is doing more to get the correct side of Negro picture before the nation than any other single agency. The first Negro picture produced by this company was entitled "Realization of a Negro's Ambition," which was a two part drama based upon love and adventure and which presented the true ambition of a colored youth's aspiration. NEW VOLUME OF POEMS. Writings of Phillis Wheatley issued In Attractive Form. From the Pendleton Press of Washington has been issued an attractive, printed and handsomely bound volume of 112 pages of the poems and letters of Miss. Phillis Wheatley, the poetess of the Revolution and the first women in America to publish a book of poems, says Bruce "Gritt." The compilation is the work of the late George Herbert Renfro, who was a native of Washington and in his day a promising young lawyer. The book also contains an admirable sketch of the life and work of Renfro from the facile pen of Mrs. Lola Ames Pendleton, an authoress of quite considerable distinction; Collectors will and this edition of Miss Wheatley's poems a valuable addition to their libraries and in it many poems of this clever young woman which have not hitherto been published. The Pendleton Press is a race institution and deserves the highest commendation for the excellence of its workmanship in the publication and binding of this latest claimant to public favor. Haddeston Heads Leesville (Ga.) Guard Mack Haddeston, who has seen service at the front as a soldier, is in command of a new company of colored men recently organized at Leesville, La. The men are, very enthusiastic over the prospect of being mustered into the federal service. Most of the members are farmers and have little time for practice during the day, let report promptly for drill every night. The company will be known as the Leesville guards.

AS TO HOUSING THE NEW- ‘COMERS. ‘Two weeks ago, Sunday, as well as last Sunday, carloads of Atro-Amer- icans arrived in Cleveland and other cities in Ohio (particularly the larger ones) from the South. Most of them came poorly glad and with little if any money. For many months they have been coming and during the entire time it has been clear to everybody that Cleveland and the other cities of this and other northern states have been unable to house them. They have been living in temporary quar- ters and even worse. This is not out of the ordinary because they have come in such numbers and without any previous preparation having been made to care for them. Our people of this city, apparently more backward than those of sister cities in this sec- tion of the country, have not taken hold of the matter as yet in such a way as to provide homes, even tempo- rary, for these newcomers. Some- thing preparations should have been made for, many months ago. Tuesday a delegation of our people called on the mayor, and made an appointment for this Friday, to ask him to place the problem of housing our neweom- ers before the city war commission he has steadfastly refused to appoint an ‘Afro-American a member of. Another vain effort to doswhat is so. sadly needed is the offering for rent suites ‘of rooms and houses at figures—$25, $20 and even $35 per month—that are positively prohibitive es far as the great majority of the newcomers, and many others for that matter, are con- cerned. What our local civic organt- zations should have done long ago, and what they will eventually be com. pelled to do, is to get together and. seek out or create quarters, if only for temporary use, that can be secured by the neweomers—our people from the South—at low rentals. In some ‘cases, persons will have to be cared for, temporarily, free of charge. It is ‘coming to this whether we think so or not and it@#s long past time when steps should be taken by our civic or ganizations and others to meet the situation, ‘There is no disguising the. fact that the present exodus from the South is the greatest in the history of this country and that it will not get well under Way until warmer weather. ‘The current of travel is even now bringing many thousands into Ohio| each week. More than fifteen hun- dred landed in Cincinnats Sunday morning. Rour times that number will reach the same city during the pres- ‘ent week, The movement to bring Afre-American labor from the south was started last year. Railways need- ed labor, as did factories along their lines. Agents, sent to the south, have done their work so well that the great- est exodus of the country is under way. It promises to reach _propor- tions heretofore unheard of. One man in the movement says that by the end of the present year the organization will have brought from the south to the north more than a million of our people in efghteen months. The em- ployment forces that ‘organized the exodus receive a dollar for each man they bring to employers, The move- ment last summer and winter ‘was confined almost wholly to men. ‘They were distributed through cities from St. Louis to Buffalo. Now the men have sent for their wives and chil dren. A Sunday train from Cincinnati to Cleveland brought one car loaded with women and children, to join their men folks in Cleveland, Ashtabula and Buffalo. The party was from Biloxi, Miss. Conditions in Cleveland are in the main the same as in other cities. The housing problem is the hardest. Our local boarding and rooming houses are packed. Few additional places can be found. Last summer and fall many of the men were housed in tents on contract work near the city. This same condition exists to- day. Our people must stop talking and ACT! Denon. We saw the much talked of “Birth of a Nation” film down in Cincinnati the other night. As a picture it is a Wonderful creation, no doubt of that. The purely mechanical effects are un- surpassed and the historical represen- tations are doubtless but little exag. gerated, although decidedly more em- Dhasis is laid upon the excesses of the Negro race than upon the northern sealawags and carpet baggers who urged them on to riot, robbery and as: sault. On the whole, we are sorry that we saw the picture. | It did not leave a single elevating thought, nota soli: tary pleasant memory. Rather the after impression was: that of a horrid nightmare, and that impression was shared by the group of* Ohio news. paper editors who were in our party Looking back today, after the lapse of several days, we ‘are confirmed in our original impression that no good can come from the exhibition of such a picture. It is bound to excite race feeling, it is bound to arouse feelings of antagonism in the minds of white people against the colored race as a whole, to visit indiscriminately upon the colored people of today suspicion born of the sins and the crimes of the minority of the newly freed race dur- ing the days of reconstruction. And, as stated, the fact is that those crimes and excesses were engineered and ma- nipulated by vicious and irresponsibie white carpet baggers, who stunk to the rear while the fighting was on and forged to the front when peace came. We are sorry that we saw the picture. And we repeat that we do not see wherein it can do anyone any good to see it. If you dote on nightmares, you ‘will get your fill in the representation. —Portsmouth Daily Times (Demo- ‘eratic). TRULY A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT!

The big French War Exhibit opened Weanesday in Gray's Armory with a record tush, Hundreds of grim tools of the great struggle in Europe are on exhibition and hold the interest. for hours. Big guns that spit destruction at Verdun, torn battle flags, captured German aeroplanes, battered ambu- lances, German “Minnewerfers,” mor tars—all are there.

C. — In the face of & threatened world food shortage the American winter wheat crop shows ‘the lowest condition recorded since 1888 and promised a smaller yield than any other since 1904. The reporting board of the bureau of crop estimates, United States de- partment of agriculture, made the following estimates from reports of tt correspondents and agents: “On May 1, the area of winter wheat to be harvested was about 27,- 653,000 acres, or 12,437,000 acres (31 per cent) less than the acreage plant- ed last autumn, and 7,176,000 acres (20.6 per cent) less than the acreage harvested last yegr, viz., 34,829,000 acres. ‘The average condition of winter wheat on May 1 was 78.2 compared -with 63.4 per cent on April 1, 82.4 on May 1, 1916, and 86.6, the ‘average for the 10 years past on May 1. A condition of 73.2 per cent on May 1 is indicative of a yield per acre of approximately 13.2 bushels, assuming average variations to prevail there- After. On the estimated area to be harvested, 13.2 bushels per acre would produce 866,116,000 bushels, or 24 per cent less than 1916, 45.7 per cent less than in 1915, and 46.6 per cent less than in 1914. ‘The outturn of the crop will prob- ably be above or below the figures given above,, according as to. the change in conditions from May 1 to harvest is above or below the average change. Agricultural conditions otherwise are good, the department announced, and it recalled that although the win- ter wheat crop of 1912 showed an equally discouraging outlook the total production of crops that year was the greatest on record. History was again made in the wheat pit on the Chicago board of trade. The May future sold there at $3. This price was never reached be- fore in the Chicago market. Twenty Hurt in Trolley Crash. Fremont, Ohio, — Twenty persons were injured in a Lake Shore Electric wreck at Gibsonburg Junction. None of the victims was fatally injured.

New York, N. Y.—It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxetad iron. Such astonishing results have been asked to explain why they prefer it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms.
