ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917 NOTABLE WORK ANNIVERSARY OF OF SAMARITANS OLDEST JOURNAL Beautiful and Modern Building Delicately With Impressive Ceremonies. Leadership of Dr. W. H. Harris, Grand Secretary, Soon In the Wonderful Achievements of the Organization. By ALBON L. HOLSEY. Attheus, Ga.-The new and beautiful headquarters and office building of the Improved Order of Samaritans was dedicated here recently with impressive ceremonies. The building, which is modern in every respect, was elected at a cost of $25,000 and is one of the most beautiful buildings in this historic southern city and is treated on one of the main business streets. The dedicatory exercises were pre-sided over by T. K. Persley, vice president of the Samaritans, who after reeling some of the achievements of the order, which has 16,000 members in the state, introduced Dr. S. McVille Pitt of Elberton, Ga., who in part said: "This order stands for progress, for advancement and for growth in community building and race consciousness in this building stands as a monument to the achievements of this organization and in the indomitable will and muserving perseverance of Dr. W. H. Jarvis. "A few years ago it was said festively that the Ngaro had no flag and that the Stars and Stripes signified the relationship between the races—that is, DR. W. H. HARRIS. the stars typified the glory of the white man, while the stripes represented the badge of crime of the Negro. But the days of these idle jests have passed." At this juncture the Hon. B. J. Davis, who came through the country in his car from Atlanta to deliver the principal address, was greeted by the large audience with great applause. Mr. Davis in part said: "We Negroes depend too much on God and on the legislature. We must follow the white man's example and learn to do some of the fundamental things for ourselves. Some Negroes think that God is better to the white man than he is to the colored man because he is white. That is not true. The white man works. God gives him health and strength just like he gives us, but the white man works and makes every lick, count. I have more respect for the man who owns his home, a farm or a horse and has a baggage account than the bareheaded philosopher who sits on the street corner and whines about his rights." "In every state in which galiterfuges have been invoked to cut down the Negro vote, to molest and intimidate him into that degree of physical fear, where he will not present himself to exercise his manhood rights, that state is not democratic and its government is unjust. Ten million Negroes of this country, who own over $1,000,000,000 worth of property, are governed without their representative, participation, and that is one of the vulnerable points in America's battle cry, that we are entering this world war to make the world safe for democracy." The building is a fine brick structure. It has two large stores on the first floor and twelve suits of offices on the second floor. On the third floor is a large hall used for lodge purposes, dances, banquets and public gatherings. It has all modern improvements. It is now fully occupied by colored merchants, doctors, dentists, insurance agents and the offices of the order. The only colored branch of the National Red Cross in Georgia has offices in this building. The building was planned by L. H. Persley, assistant director of the division of mechanical drawing of Tuskegee institute and was erected by Walker Bros. of Macon, a well known firm of colored contractors. The officers of the state organization are H. Gulie, grand chief, Lumpkin, Ga.; Dr. W. H. Harris, grand secretary, Athens, Ga.; G. W. Giles, past grand chief, Monroe, Ga.; T. K. Persley, vice grand chief, Macon, and G. A. Cunningham, Carlton, grand treasurer. The Samaritans of Georgia have paid out more than $100,000 to members and in addition appropriated $35,000 for this new building within the past five years. African Methodist Episcopal Church to Recognize Services of its Great Organ, Founded Sixty-five Years Ago, by Holding a Big Celebration—Dr. R. R. Wright's Leadership Noted. Members of the African Methodist Episcopal church are making preparations to celebrate the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Christian Reorder, published at Philadelphia. The anniversary will be held during the last week in July. At the recent meeting of the bishops held at Wilberforce, O., a proclamation was issued calling upon the members of the church and its friends to celebrate this anniversary in appropriate fashion. The Christian Discorder is the oldest race journal now in existence. It was founded in 1872 in Philadelphia, where it has existed ever since. It is the only race newspaper which helped to fight for the abolition of slavery which is now in existence. Some of the most brilliant men of the race have titled its editorial chair. Its first editor was Rev. Marcelos M. Clarke, who was one of the very few Negroes to graduate from college during the first half of the nineteenth century; then followed Rev. afterward William Jabez P. Campbell, Rev. Elisha Weaver, Rev. now bishop B. T. Tanner, Rev. now bishop B. F. Lee and Rev. H. T. Johnson. The present editor is Rev. R. R. Wright, Ph. D., who serves in the large capacity of editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the Book Concern. When Dr. Wright was made editor at the age of thirty he was the youngest man ever so honored by the church, though from the point of view of education' he was one of the best prepared, having made for himself quite an enviable record as a writer on sociological topics prior to his election to this position. He is a doctor of philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and studied in the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, Germany. The Christian Recorder is the national organ of the A. M. E. church and is circulated in all parts of the United States, in South America and the West Indies and South Africa and numbers among its contributors some of the oldest men and women of the race. According to the bishops' proclamation every one of the 7,000 African Methodist churches is called upon to celebrate this anniversary in a very tangible and helpful way by helping to pay off the debt of $1,0,000. Indications are, that this debt will be paid off on the day named, the fifth Sunday in July. Already many have subscribed, many of the bishops themselves leading off with $100 or more. General officers have subscribed, and leading men, both ministers and laymen of the church, in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, South and North Carolina and other states have subscribed from $5 to $100. The purpose is to pay off the debt so that it will give Dr. Wright opportunity to develop a paper in keeping with the greatness of the A. M. E. church and give it a subscription list of 100,000. On July 29 there will be a special program in all of the 6,000 African Methodist Episcopal churches of America. On that day it is expected that the Book Concern will be paid out of debt. A book will be printed later on giving the history of the Book Concern and the name of every person who contributed $1 to help liquidate the debt. A beautiful two color certificate with historic pictures will also be given to those subscribing certain amounts. This is expected to be a rent day in the African M. E. church. Subscriptions are coming in rapidly, and over $4,000 has already been subscribed. Hishops Coppin, Johnson, Hurst and Connor have subscribed $100 each and others smaller amounts. Dr. Wright makes it clear that none of the money asked for is for current expenses. The business is self supporting, and the debt is being slowly cut down and improvements made, but opportunities are so large that Dr. Wright has asked that the debt which was on the business when he came as manager be erased. --- Splendid Achievements of Zealous Young Minister and Educator, Who Has Worked His Way Up From Obesity to Preminence In Racial Life In the United States. By GLORGE F. KING. Wilmington, N. C., in 1904 a young man, a member of the famous Kafka friebe and a native of Bujwana, Franklin, South Africa, after finishing from the native schools taught by missionaries pleased with his father to let him come to America ostensibly to read law. After he had reached Cape Town some one stole part of his money, but he ultimately succeeded in paying for his passage to this country. Possessing the remarkable characteristics of his tribe and having received a sizable education, he made good use of his opportunities for advancement in his new found home. As soon as he reached the United States the Rev. D. B. Mebbona, A. B., B. D., eagerly began his search for more knowledge. He entered State University from KwaZulu and subsequently graduated from Shunyat University at Nakshat, N. C., with honors. Believing that he was called to the gospel ministry, he prepared himself for the ministry. He didn't try to glide; the essential college preparation for the most excellent service that he is now reading. He felt that he D. B. MOODONA, A. B. R. D. had much to accomplish in this country for the uplift of his race and the pro- motion of the 'cause' of Christianity and he is evidencing this fact by splen- d achievements. The Rev. Meldona founded and organized the First Baptist church at Lumber Bridge, N. C., and was the pastor at the Baptist church at Maxton, N. C., where he did much constrastic work. At this latter church, which could not pay his railroad fare back and forth from home, he finally succeeded in making the church self-sustaining and left 47 with 700 members. As pastor of St. Luke's church, Husty, N. C., he added 300 members in five years. While a student at Shaw university he pastored at a number of churches highly acceptably. For several years he has been pastor of the Central Baptist church this city. For a long period this church has been owned by a mortgage against it, but during his previous administration he has wiped out the mortgage against the church. Besides the church has a splendid purposae. He has recovered the roof of the church with th at cost of $500. This is one of the leading churches of the denomination in this state, and his native executive ability has put every department of the church in an excellent state of efficiency. Because of his training and enabling character the Rev. Mr. Meldona is effectively reaching all classes of our people. He does not appeal to the emotions of his congregation. All of his sermons are well prepared, and he has gained the reputation of being one of the leading young theologians, scholars and pulpeters of his denomination. He is a practicer preacher. As an educator the Rev. Mododus is making himself a patent factor in the proper development of the youth of the race. For four years he was principal of Hedges Industrial and Normal school at Clarkton, N.C. At this place he wrought well for the race and the community. He is now principal of Falson Normal and Industrial institute, which position he has held for two years with unprecedented success in the minors of the school and is making this educational movement a leaven for good in eastern North Carolina. This young leader is endowed with the qualities that make for the kind of racial progress desired by the better element of the Afro-American folk. In economic movements he believes that the young people must be given equal opportunities for development. His wife, who is a graduate of St. Augustine school, Raleigh, N. C., is a great asset to him in his work and especially school, church and civic activities. The Rev. Middona-has inspired proved that he is a citizen of the world, and he is highly esteemed because of his broad conception of the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man." COL. YOUNG ARRIVES Everybody Pleased As a Result—Candidates for Chapplain—Many Want To Become Officers—Fulton to be Lieutenant Colonel, Etc. Columbus, O.—After several weeks of anxious waiting and just when we had begun to think that the War Department was not going to assign Col. Ninth, Ohio's Afro-American regiment, although such announcement was made by the Adjutant General of the state, two weeks ago last Saturday, the Colonel arrived Monday. He immediately took charge of the three companies here in Cleveland, at Springfield and at Dayton. The regiment (ammonified cavalry) now has its complement of men (about 1300) and when its Colonel has been in charge a short time, will rank among the best in the army occupation. He is no longer disciplinarian, frill-master, etc. in the regular army than he. Among the persons who called on him, Tuesday, at headquarters, was the editor of The Gazette. He and the Colonel have been warm personal friends for many years. The latter, on his way east from Letterman Hospital, The Presbyterian San Francisco, Cal. lifted the only Afro-American officers' training camp at Ft. Des Moines, Ia. and to try expeditiously to it. He found 1500 men of the race in the camp and delivered a number of addresses to them on the request of Col Ballon, commander. There are four applications for the appointment of chapain of the Ninth Ohio regiment—Rev. Scott, aged chapain of the Ninth Battalion in former years of the Ninth Ohio Willetton, a Rev. J. Scott M. Willerton, a Rev. M. Joseph of the Ninth Wart. W. Haskell of this city. The first two are A. M. E. and the last two, Baptist ministers. Rev. Haskell being the only one on the institutional order. In addition to the foregoing, the Colonel says there are more than forty applicants, all good men, for positions as officers in the regiment. Major John C. Fulton, of Cleveland, said he charged of the Ninth Ohio Battalion for the Spanish-American war, will unilaterally be advanced to Lightenant Colonel of the Ninth and the captains of the four original battalion companies, one each at Cleveland, Columbus, ALL STANDA TOGETHER And Uphold the Flag - East St. Louis Riots - A Soldier's Comment - from Far away Hawkall. July 4, 1917 Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Ticket 141 years ago the Declaration of Independence was signed by Benjamin Franklin and his associates. The greatest document I think that was ever signed by a group of patriotic men. Those men and their fellows fought seven years to break the clutches of despotism they believed that no man could thoroughly understand the perpetual motion of freedom. That document of framed rules which they called the "Constitution" was to them that no man should be deprived of liberty and life without the authority of law. Eighty-seven years later another document was written, the emancipation proclamation, which knocked then the question black and broke the thunder of the American Negro. Under that document Congress proposed three amendments which were ratified by the states, granting to every man, regardless of color or creed, the enjoyment of the ambient air of liberty and the protection of law. Soldiers take the oath of allegiance to defend the country; the militia, the state and the policemen the state and the policemen unholding the law the militia and policemen more right to show any degree of cowardice than soldiers on the firing line. The nation thinks little of soldiers lacking bravery in time of need. Then it should think the same of militia and policemen when it is thoroughly proven that they failed to show bravery in the performance of duty. We are engaged in a great war to test whether the love of man or whether Kaiser shall prevail. The man does not unisex understandings between white and colored men. Roth races should make an effort to demonstrate to the world that each man means to uphold the interpretation of the Constitution. The world does not judge us by what we say, but it judges us by our practice. Three years ago when Germany broke an international law, invaded Belgium, shot and killed men, demolished property, made women and dear little homeless and put them face to face with the Atlantic to the Pacific disgusted. We were horrified over such barbarity. Today, instead of East St. Louis, Ill. celebrating July 4th in remembrance of independence she is perforating the same cruelty for which she denounced Germany of three years ago. But Oh! the people of Illinois are too thoughtful to have nothing to say. The Chamber of Commerce is opposed to men of American standard. They are aware of the examinations to show that the guards testimonial to perform their duty. Common sense tells anyone that lynching cannot, occur frequently in a small city composed of three companies of armed guards. If a guard willfully gives up his gun, he should be shot. If a soldier willfully gave his gun to the enemy, he would be shot, and the nation would think that the army had done the right thing. Of course he sure that the men had not given up their weapons before degrading them if he have no before race of men, and will never unhold my race in the wrong knowingly. The law can master any bad man or men. Should a white or colored man break the law, both should be punished. The officer should do his duty, even if it means death. I hope that affair in no way will make men indifferent to their IN UNION IN IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NG ARRIVES of The Ninth Ohio Regi- ment Result—Candidates for Chap- to Become Officers—Ful- tenant Colonel, Etc. The absence of leading Ohio Afro-Americans from the recent "state" meeting in the city on southern migration, has been the subject of a great deal of discussion and comment. The consensus of opinion now is that the meeting was principally promoted by white social workers of Cleveland who were desirous of addressing a state meeting of our leading men and women. COL. CHAS. YOUNG The attendance upon the meeting was fair as regards numbers only. It really is unfortunate that they did not select leading members of the race to arrange for the meeting. As a result, little or nothing is expected from the so-called state organization perfected here, or the local municipal organizations, announced to be organized in various communities of the state. duly to the country. If the authorities are making efforts to bring the guilds to punishment that should be sufficient. Let us all stand together and uphold the flag. Brave and noble men, let us all he.

With the exception of three companies, the 25th U. S. infantry is in France with Gen. Pershing. In Porto Kico the total number registered (drafted) was 104,986; white, 28,273; colored 24, 05.

Va. visitor recently. He is building a new towboat at one of the docking plants on the Monongahela river. According to the official figures, 9,659,382 Americans registered for selective battles, between the ages of 21 and 31, of whom 7,347,749 were white and 953,899 the Indians who registered number 6,000. Twenty-six Afro-American non-comissioned officers, recommended for commissions as officers of our regiments to be raised under the draft, are here from the Phillippines. One is a sergeant of the quartermaster corps, and the rest are from the Ninth cavalry. Among these latter are a regimental sergeant-major, two regimental supply sergeants, four first sergeants, two corporals and twelve sergeants, of the line. The men are awaiting instruction for McDowell. Fear of untowards of the East St. Louis rioting with the troops are withdrawn caused managers and officers of large industries to ask that protection be confirmed indeterminately. Sometimes ago a board of officers passed upon Col. Charles Young's health and found him completely incapacitated for service; not obviously and visibly, but because, unfortunately, of their finding that he was afflicted with a chronic disease. Mr. recollection is that it was Bright's disease—Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. The Colonel is health personnel, in spite of that "board of officers."

X The sending of northern troops to the south in the summer does not look much like acclimating them for a rig- id winter in France. The editor of The Gasette is indebted to the Hon. Fred'k W. Dallinger of Massachusetts for a copy of the joint resolution introduced in the National House of Representatives, July 14, providing for an investigation of the East St. Louis, Ill., riots and appropriating $80,000 to pay the expenses of the same. We sincerely trust that it will be adopted by Congress and the people given the inside facts as to the real causes and extent of that horrible massacre of about one hundred of our innocent men, women and children. How much do miserable moving picture films like "The Birth of a Nation" indirectly contribute to East St. Louis riots? Since the advent of the administration of Gov. Cox, the Ohio censor board, which had hitherto rejected the film, experienced a sudden change of heart and reversed itself. If the film was detrimental to the best interests of the state before the election of Gov. Cox, it manifestly did not, become innocuous with his election. Should there be racial riots in Ohio, what will have been the contributory effect of the display of "The Birth of a Nation?" The entire Ohio National guard has been called into service. It will soon be beyond the confines of the state. In event of a riot like that at East St. Louis, for example, taking place in Ohio, have sufficient precautions been taken to secure the safety of our citizens or the protection of their property? It was known before the legislature adjourned that the war would sooner or later take the guard from Ohio, but there was a failure to put anything in its place. It would be appalling to have a catastrophe occur in the commonwealth because sufficient precautions had not been taken. QUIT TALKING AND ACT. The southern Afro-American is coming north in large numbers. He is coming because he intuitively knows that the dominating white element of the south will never give him a fair chance in life. Therefore the problem is racial. He is coming to the north because, owing to the war, immigration from Europe is ceasing, there is an abnormal demand for labor, which will increase as men leave civil life to become soldiers. Therefore the problem is economic. He is coming to the north because he has no political or other rights in the south that anybody there is bound to respect, and he has a chance to make a man of himself in the north and therefore the problem is political. A problem which is at once racial, economic and political is difficult. However, many problems, with time and opportunity, are self-solving. In a few years the newcomers will be fixed in their abodes, accumulators of property, their children will have education, all will have new and greater opportunities in life and they will respond thereto. The churches and church members of Ohio may well address some of their energies to this most recent of our problems, especially since other organizations and individuals seem to feel that TALK is all that is necessary. It has become a fad with both our people and the whites to "discuss the southern influx and the many problems arising from the same" and stop there. ACTION is needed. THE EAST ST. LOUIS MASSACRE Some of the Democratic press are endeavoring to blame the Negroes of East St. Louis for the riots in which they were ruthlessly murdered or driven from their homes. The effort will fail and ought to fail. No one has ever contended that our people were doing anything but quietly following their legitimate occupations, in making a living for their families. If they had been idlers, rowdies or criminals, there might be some excuse for their expulsion from the community, but even that should be done in an orderly and lawful manner. The fact of the matter is that East St. Louis is in a section of Illinois that was strongly pro-southern during the Civil War and that still has much of southern sympathy and ideas. The county in which East St. Louis is situated has a habit of going Democratic. While there is a large proportion of the population that respects the rights of our people, the community is one in which just such outrages as the unprovoked massacre could occur. The Democracy press is doing itself no credit in trying to excuse the outrage. OHIO'S OVER DRAFT The census bureau estimates the population in each state. On this basis the war department apportions to each state its quota of men it must furnish to the army under the draft. Under this system the census bureau has been most generous in giving Ohio cities their populations. Cleveland was given 1,125,000, while it has but 800,000. Akron was rated at 383,000 although it had only 69,000 in 1910. Canton was given 177,000, although its ambitious chamber of commerce only claims 75,000. But the unfairness is that Ohio will have to furnish too large a quota of soldiers based on these figures, and others just as unfair in other parts of the state. Now comes Senator Pomerene and says: "Gov. Cox can determine the population by all the reliable information at his disposal. In doing so he /can consider the census bureau estimate but he is not bound by it." He adds: "The Governor has full power to distribute Ohio's quota among the several sub-divisions of the state by any just and equitable rule based upon population." "That is not the right way to correct so grevious an error. If Cleveland, Akron, Canton and other cities of the state have had an inequitable census and an unfairly large quota of soldiers, based thereon, burdened upon them, is it the remedy to pass the drafts on to wholly innocent rural districts? The only just and fair remedy is for Gov. Cox and Senator Pomerene to have the census estimates corrected and the Ohio draft quota reduced to its right proportions.

As a matter of fact, it is really good choice for an amoody. The trouble is, however, that PEOPLE FEEL. THAT ONLY THOSE HAVE THE OLDTIME RELIGION WHO ARE ALWAYS YELLLING AMEN THROUGHOUT THE SERMON, SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF THEIR VOICES, GOING OFF INTO HYSTERICS, OR SHRIKING AS THOUGH MURDER WERE BEING COMMITTED THEIR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOORHOOD. They make the mistake of rehearing noise as the best indication of Christianity. They get the shadow rather than the substance. It is about time that these noise worshippers go away back to the woods, for there is no record of the God who are supposed to worship, yellin' wooping, shrieking and having its, which always and by the time church is dismissed.-Cincinnati Union. "Afraid? Not me!" said Clarence Garland, 23 West Indian Negro, whose job is dodging base balls at Luna Park. His eye was half closed, his nose bruised and his lip split from balls he failed to dodge successfully. Garland was brought to Federal Agent Marshals' office for failure to register for selective service. He says he tried to register but the supply of cards ran out. His home is 2266 Scovill Ave., Tuesday's Cleveland Press. New York state has a law that bars out the "African" or West Indian "dodger." Congressman Henry I. Emerson has a bill which as a law will make foreigners either become citizens, enlist in the army of their own country or get out of it if one (if they are physically fit to it) sane Ohio, too, must have a law against the "dodger" misuse. More insult to the race at Luna Park. "One of the most remarkable social and ethical phenomena of history is that on this very day millions of men are studying the Bible and at the same time teaching their children scorn and contempt for millions of other men." Thus spoke the pastor of Cory M. E. church, a mass meeting held there Sunday afternoon in burialation," he said, is sending troops to Europe to fight for democracy. Democracy is for the brotherhood and equality of all men the sight of God. And yet at home the Negroes of the south-American citizens—are being so persecuted that they have to flee north in an attempt to find peace and prosperity. And when they reach 'God's country,' as they regard the north, their fellow citizens of white skins regard them as creatures of an enemy there. The day will come when prejudice will be the foundation than that of color will the east aside, and a new spiritual enlightenment come to the nation." Some wholesome TRUTH. Charles W. Robinson, local letter carrier, is at the training camp at Ft. Des Moines, Ia. He writes The Gazette that 1500 Afro-Americans are there and that they are doing fine. He is the only one from Cleveland. Mr. Robinson also writes: "Give my regards to my friends." He is in Co. No. 6. Views of William A. Aery of Hampton Institute on Racial Welfare. William Anthony Aery, head of the press service at the Itampton (Va.) institute and also a teacher, is always on the alert to make known the best methods and plans for the physical and literary improvement of the Negro and Indian races. Mr. Aery not only keeps in touch with the doings of the race throughout its weekly and monthly publications, but often attends the annual meetings of our organizations, societies and educational institutions. He is a man of broad vision and liberal views. His work as a publicist and teacher beats the stamp of experience and efficiency. Mr. Aery carried the following article in a recent issue of the Southern Workman, the monthly magazine published at the institute: "Secret societies are the channels through which the Negro can best be reached with information relative to his health and sanitation. For this reason, if for no other, any Negro who is of proper age and is a good physical risk should belong to some secret society, and every secret society should have a bureau of health, with a most capable physician in charge, to furnish printed matter monthly or semi-monthly on topics of health and sanitation that most vitally concern mankind. "There are many communicable and preventable diseases to which mankind is heir that may be averted by putting daily into practice certain rules and regulations in living. "These rules and regulations should be persistently taught by printed circulars issued to the members of the order by the health bureau. The Negro, like many individuals of other races, has not learned the value of fresh air both day and night. "There are so many ways in which the Negro takes disease that could be avoided, provided he was properly instructed and would follow the instruction. He is an easy prey in a multiplicity of ways. He will purchase for himself and family germ laden second-hand clothes, never giving a thought to the probability of taking disease from them. He will often eat food left by others and will drink with joy and satisfaction from vessels and bottles used by the slick or well, often taking disease in this way. All of this comes from ignorance. "The secret societies are the organizations to serve the race with enlightenment along this line, make better its sanitation and increase its usefulness, its wealth, its health and its respectability." NEW LIGHT ON WASHINGTON Chancellor McCormick Impressed With Educator's Wonderful Intuition. Chancellor S. R. McCormick of the University of Pittsburgh recently sent the following letter to Julius Rosenwald, the widely known Chicago business man and philanthropist, with reference to the splendid volume on the life and times of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Chancellor McCormick's letter: Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Sears, Roebuck & Co, Chicago; My dear Mr. Rosenwald—Last night I brought the book entitled "Booker T. Washington, Builder of a Civilization," with no from the office. After dinner I met at noon at today I have finished reading it. This was not a task to be performed as quickly as possible, but a pleasure to be each moment increasingly enjoyed. The book one by one the compelling power of its thrilling It is a story book. It does not deal in trivialities. It presents the man in the large. A biography of Booker Washington will doubtless be written. Many books about him will be published. This book reveals the man in broad outlines through the wonderful work he accomplished. It is absorbingly interesting, and it gives the reader not only a fresh conception of the greatness of Booker T. Washington, the greatness and manhood achieved in his life, but the reader with every page increases in his wonderment whence such a man came; what it was that taught him; how he got his views; what was the source of his success; what was the source of his knew him. I learn from this book that he did not know him at all. How did he get his amazing common sense? Whence came his keenness and accuracy of intuition? Who taught him the meaning of beauty, of order, of system, of relationship of life, of nature, of the universe, of the conceive of duties and rights as he did and never to speak of the one without emphasizing the other? What other dreamer among the stars ever walked so firmly upon the earth and saw realities of his life as his life as did Booker T. Washington? All I can do is to thank you for the book The reading of it has given me pleasure, as I said, but, much more, it has given me courage, hope, enduring patience and inspiration. I am, very cordially yours, P. S.-Will you convey to the authors my high appreciation of this volume as a piece of literary work and a triumph of fine discrimination in what to say and what to leave out? Virginians Hold Summer Festival. The Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn held its annual summer festival on Thursday evening, July 19, with the largest attendance in its history. That the society's influence is gripping the attention of men of Virginia birth or parentage is shown by the steady increase in its membership It meets all of its financial obligations promptly and renders fine personal service to its members in times of their illness or otherwise when a need is to be met. Millions Till the Soil In the South. The colored race in America now numbers more than 12,000,000. Of this number 8,500,000 live in the south and southwest. Those engaged in rural occupations number 6,375,000, and there are 3,000,000 regularly engaged in agricultural pursuits throughout the year. Short Stories in Abundance An industrious reader of short stories has selected 20 as the best by American authors of the 2,700 tales published in 1916 in 70 periodicals. And these 2,700 were probably the pick of 27,000 or more from which the editors had to choose. Many are offered, but few are chosen. 1867 HOWARD UNIVERSITY 1917 Stephen M. Newman, A. M., D.

This is the second or third excellent treatise on up-to-date topics he has sent us in recent weeks. Rev. A. L. Lewis of Tuscaloosa, Ala., was in the city a part of last and this week, and called on The Gazette. He came here from Barberton where he had spent three weeks and held a ten day revival, adding 33 members to our church in that city, six of whom were conversions, five being baptised. He went to Birmingham and Tuscaloosa and may return to Barberton to accept a call to the pastorate of the church here. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, last week, of an invitation to attend the formal opening of Unity Spiritualist church, at 2358 Marion Ave., last Sunday from 3 to 5 p. m. and 7:30 to 10 p. m., and regretted his inability to attend.

The Gazette expose was timely. The committee should call a meeting of the three organizations and the public to make some disposition of the money, and soon. The editor of The Gazette has been asked by the Hon. James R. Garrick chairman of the executive committee of the Welfare Federation of Cleveland, to serve upon a committee to study the problems as a result of the sudden and rapid influx of our people from the south and to act in an advisory capacity to the Welfare Federation.

CLEVELAND Patronize The Gazette Advertisers THE GAZETTE ENTERS IT'S 35th YEAR AUGUST 11, '17 SOCIAL WORKERS HOLD MEETING AT PITTSBURGH National Urban League Hears Reports on Uplift From Many Sections. Pittsburgh.—The recent annual meeting of social workers held in this city by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People was a great success. It brought together men and women of both races who are well qualified by education and personal experience to discuss the great questions of struggle and uplift among the colored people in all sections. In opening the first meeting Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk university and executive secretary of the league, in part said: "The greatest problem confronting the Negro in his first fifty years after emancipation was to demonstrate to the world that he is a man capable of development and achievement like other men. The problem of the second fifty years will be to show to the world that he is capable of collective action demanded for democratic organization of today. Negroes have confidence within their own consciousness of their ability to prove this. They must prove it to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens. Do to this we need organization for collective action. "By organization I do not mean machinery merely. I mean the determination to secure better living and larger freedom, and this determination infused into the masses of our people. Once they have this purpose they will carry it out by whatever machinery is at hand. This purpose must be infused into the mass of wage earners and into every church society, into every business league, into every community betterment club and into every individual. "The great world war has changed the old order, and a new day has dawned. It calls for collective action of every element of our population. As social workers our great obligation as well as our opportunity for service to our people is to organize them for better wages, better houses, better industrial efficiency, better education and for larger freedom and life, for, however humble their station, they are seeking a liberty and an opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is our business to help inspire and lead them toward these better conditions of the larger life." Among the other speakers were William N. Jones, supervisor of the colored division, department of recreation and social survey, Memphis, Tenn., who spoke on "Human Adjustment In Memphis." Mr. Jones said in part: "We have demonstrated that any broad hearted woman of willing mind can by giving four hours each month of her time to the general welfare, under proper direction, increase the living efficiency of twelve families every year at least 100 per cent. One of the most pressing problems with which social workers in large communities have to deal is that of amusements. Between the 'hands off' and 'thou shalt not' policies of the church and the commercialized and misdirected mixing of pleasure, vice and license that cater to the young there is little to offer the young people. "Whenever I have directed a dance social for tired working girls or taken a group of children out to play on a Sunday afternoon I have had to answer to the ministry. I tried to solve this problem by having the ministerial organizations indorse a list of amusements selected by themselves. I have not yet succeeded in getting a satisfactory list. When I began my work in Memphis there was not a single piece of play apparatus in a public place in the city. Now there are eight." Helpful addresses at the other sessions were delivered by Professor George W. Cook of Howard university, Mrs. M. McCrysy Jackson, who gave an account of social betterment work at Charlotte, N. C., and Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. R. T. Brooks of Columbia, S. C.; Miss Helen B. Pendleton, Newark, N. J.; Roger N. Baldwin of St. Louis, Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary National Urban league, New York, and Forester B. Washington, executive secretary of the Detroit branch of the National Urban league. HAMPTON SUMMER SCHOOL. Faculty For 1917 Session Consists of Several Well Known Instructors. The 1917 session of the summer school at the Hampton (Va.) institute is one of the best in attendance and general interest for several years. It is safe to say that no other school of similar aim and purpose is doing more for the proper equipment of teachers for their work than Hampton institute. Among those of our race on the faculty for this session are: Charles S. Isham, general science; R. Nathaniel Dett, vocal music; and Charles H. Williams, physical training, all of Hampton institute; I. P. Councilll, Capron, Va., white oak basketry; George E. Haynes, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., cives and community work. Important Coming Event For Women. The convention of the Madam C. J. Walker company representatives, to be held in Philadelphia Thursday and Friday, Aug. 30-31, will be a notable event. The women of our race are at home in conducting their clubs or religious meeting, but to buckle down to real business matters in convention is almost a novelty. From present indications the Walker convention will make history for the business women of the race.

A charming negligence of georgette crape is trimmed with fringe, and an Silk Is Soon to S Wool As such immense quantities of wool are now being requisitioned by the government for soldiers' uniforms and equally large quantities of cotton are being shot away in ammunition, silk is becoming more and more a factor in the fabric world. In this good looking one piece dress the printed khaki-kool is combined with the plain.

This is joined with cording to the gathered waist section, continuing into a deep yoke and held in at the normal waist line by a sash of pussy willow sarth. Any one of the colored circles may be matched to the satin, but we would recommend the new national blue, the blue of the flag or a kremlin red, a curious, subtle red that naturally suggests the Russian name. ANNA MAY. ! Wonderful Hat For the Garden Party ```markdown ``` THE attractive movie star, Gail Kane, may form a question mark, but there can be no question about the becomingness of her white feather turban and her summer furs of fox. Please note the fetching buckle made of feathers itself that reposes on the front of her hat. Overcettts is the name applied to a sort of overall costume of khaki for women. It is especially designed for women engaged in agriculture work and other work making a bifurcated garment especially convenient. They are to be worn with separate blouses and have wide shoulder straps that keep the bloomer sections in place. Splendid for the girl who will carry only a suit case or take only a steamer trunk to the summer vacation spot is a new tailored skirt which has three ways of its own. The first way is the way of an ordinary, well cut sport Wonderful Hat Fo LACY black straw with a coquettish dip in front and a crown entirely topped by pink roses affords this beautiful design. French blue ribbon is crushed to give the wide band tied in a loose bowknot on the right side. One of the big shops is showing this season a sports coat made of ribbon. Quite a novelty, is it? Bayadere striped ribbon was used—that is, ribbon with crosswise stripes in the rouille or rust color, on a pale yellow skirt opening down the front and equipped with attached, belt and large barrel pockets below the hips. This is the skirt for golf, tennis or beach wear in the morning. The second way, the skirt becomes by an arfful manipulation of the overlapped fronts and the line of buttons a divided skirt, smart and just the thing for cross salute riding in a formal bride path or on a bronze in the Rockies. In its third incarnation the skirt yet another trick with the buttons and a drawing up and under of the hem turns itself into a pair of baggy knickers or bloomers, just the thing for climbing, camping or a fishing excursion. And all of these useful skirts fold into one small space in suit case or steamer trunk. Among the newest hats are many trimmed with dablins. Frequently the flowers are velled with chiffon or crape. ANNA MAY. or the Garden Party ground. The strips of ribbon are stitched together, each crosswise stripe exactly matched to the other, so that the coat appears to have strips running all the way around on body and sleeves, while collar, pockets and cuffs have a reversed effect. A white silk parasol is trimmed with appliqued strips of the ribbon, and there is a ribbon reticule to match the coat and parasol, and a band of ribbon adorns a wide brimmed straw hat.

The deep points of the collar are hand embroidered in colors corresponding to the stripe. The color of underclothes is a matter in which feminine taste has changed enormously within less than a generation's time.

White georgette blouses are being ornamented with small flags or other designs adopted from the national emblem. ANNA MAY. Russian use of French Linen in our teens—the time when a well bred woman would rather smile at the idea of wearing anything but pure white lingerie. The only concession she made was in the way of pink or possibly blue ribbons. But now deep purple is not a too vivid hue for one's underwear, and deep purple with green hand block designs is considered especially chic. A deep purple nightgown thus decorated in green is shown in one smart shop, and, to top the climax, there is a purple velvet paisley placed at the top of the left shoulder. T 11, '17
