DOINGS OF THE RACE Fred Pollard. Brown's great halfback who was the first of the race to win a place on Walter Camp's All-American eleven, won't be on the Brown eleven's fair according to reports, although still called off the university. He fell behind in his studies because he was too busy playing football and running "a clobber pressing establishment to pay his school expenses. We are continually annoyed or shamed by a tenency on the part of our people to discuss private matters and racial secrets in loud tones in public places. This is not confined to any special class, but is a general failing of the race.—Philadelphia Tribune. A. W. Ellis has been appointed assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, the position formerly held by Louis B. Anderson, chiefman of the second ward, Chicago. Philip A. Payton, well known N. Y. city real estate dealer, is dead. Ladies, call your friends' attention to our fashion page (4). It is the latest and best and right up to date. NOW is the time to subscribe for the old reliable Gazette. We have our suspicions as to the race pattern of the colored brother who does not read and pay for at least one Negro newspaper. There is no other way to get hold of the really credible doings of our people, and without this knowledge there can be no genuine race pride. R. W. Thompson, Washington, D. C.

Tuesday, were investigating a report that a race pattern of Smith Houston, 3827 E. 75th St. Windows were smashed with large stones, fence pickets torn off and the front porch smashed.

TAKING STOCK IN EDUCATION Elementary Training Is Special Work of Public Schools: ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT Impartial Review of the Whole System of Education Presented by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones—Suggests Plan For Reducing Illiteracy—Need of Institutions of Real College Grade. In concluding that feature of his report on the importance of elementary, secondary, college, agricultural education and teacher training Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones says: "Elementary education is peculiarly the responsibility of the public school authorities. Though the enrolment of the philanthropic schools is 75 per cent elementary, their pupils are only 4 per cent of the Negro children six to fourteen years of age. The southern states out of their limited resources are spending $6,000,000 annually for the salaries of teachers in the colored public schools. While this is proportionately not more than a fourth of that spent on teachers in white schools, it is a substantial sum. "In comparison with the needs of the elementary school system, however, it DR. THOMAS JESSE JONES. is most inadequate. So long as the elementary school facilities are insufficient every kind of education above the elementary grade is seriously handicapped and the well being of the community is endangered. The pessimistic bilities of night schools for adults should receive serious consideration as one means of overcoming the large amount of Negro literacy. "Secondary Schools and Teacher Training.-The primary importance of secondary schools for colored people lies in their contribution to the much acceded supply of trained teachers for the elementary schools. According to the state records, over 50 per cent of the colored teachers in public schools have an education less than the equivalent of six elementary grades. This amenable condition can be corrected only by a system of public secondary schools with provision for teacher training, theory and practice of gardening and manual training. Much effective help could be obtained through the active co-operation of the public secondary schools already organized. One of the most hopeful movements toward teacher training and secondary education is the plan to multiply county training schools. "College and Professional Education.—The education of Negroes in America undoubtedly requires institutions that are genuinely of college grade. The first step in the realization of this need is the agreement that all shall combine in an effort to develop a few well selected institutions. A program for such, a co-operation is suggested in the chapter on 'College Education' in this report. The second requirement of success in this direction is the determination that every college activity shall be adapted to the demands of modern society. Medical education is already centralized in two institutions, so that those interested in that profession may give their aid without question. It is highly desirable that some co-operative effort shall also be made, to improve the standards of schools for colored ministers. No phase of Negro education has been more neglected. "Though there are a few very effective institutions devoted to the agricultural and mechanical education of the Negroes, they really constitute only a beginning of the supply needed. The number of their graduates is at present only enough to prove the value of the type. An adequate supply will be possible only through the combined effort of public and private resources. State and federal governments, through their general appropriations for agricultural and other forms of vocational education, can render a most effective service to the country by liberal provisions for the education of the Negroes. "Teaching Methods—Elaborate facilities are useless if the teaching methods are ineffective. In actual practice teaching is still too generally regarded as talking or lecturing. With the increasing recognition of the importance of psychology in teaching and the enlarged appreciation of the social significance of education there is a demand for more consideration of the pupil and the community. The teacher should make every effort to understand the pupil and his needs, his mind supports, his ambitions, his means of support and his health. He should also know the pupil's home, his community and if possible his vocational outlook. "With such knowledge as the basis of instruction the teacher will not be content with mere lectures to his class. From talking about the subject he will guide his pupils to observe actual conditions. Observation will be followed by laboratory experiments. The teacher will exchange views with pupils, and all will mull their ideas and their experiences in the search for truth. From the artificial conditions of the classroom pupils and teacher will finally proceed to the actual conditions of real life, and together they will learn to do by doing." *Plenty of RBom For More Teachers.* Discussing the question of teachers in mother part of the report, Dr. Jones says that there are about 30,000 teachers in the south, or approximately one to every sixty-five colored children of school age. In order to keep even these comparatively few positions filled about 6,000 new teachers are needed every year. Yet all the institutions offering any sort of teacher training courses graduate only 2,200 students a year. The result is that the remainder are made up of teachers with a very low grade of preparation. Dr. Jones also traces the rapid transition from will to colored teachers in the south to the south in the south. practically all of the public schools of elementary and secondary grades now have colored teachers. In the private institutions maintained by color decontaminations all the teachers are Negroes. And in the schools maintained by northern philanthropy the elimination of white teachers has been gradually proceeding until now, 74 per cent of all the teachers are colored. Commenting on this, he says: Progress Adds to Responsibility. This *highering Adds to Responsibility* of the Negress for their own education is one of the hopeful signs in the progress of the race. It is not only a moral objection, but good pedagogy, to work with a people rather than for them. So far as this principle is realized in the tendency to turn over the colored schools to colored teachers, the race is social. There is, however, considerable ground for the apprehension that the rapidity with which white teachers have been eliminated is so largely explained by the desire to be rid of an unpleasant duty. *Northern philanthropy, unqualified with the real situation, is willing that its gifts shall be expanded with the least possible responsibility as to method. The result has been the rapid change from white to colored teachers in both public and private schools. The remarkable service of Dr. Boozer T. Washington and many other colored men and women in the education of their race is anple evidence of the value of their contribution.* BUSINESS WOMEN MEET. Philadelphia Union Host of Walker Representatives For Two Days. The Philadelphia committee of arrangements for the first national convention of the Madam C. J. Walker agents reports that all details for the two days' meeting have been completed and that the sessions of the convention will be held in the Union Baptist church, Fitzwater street, above Ninefeenth street, Philadelphia, beginning Thursday morning, Aug. 29. Large delegations of business women from New York, Newark, N. J.; Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington and from distant cities will attend the convention. This meeting will be the beginning of a new era for the women of our race in business and for those who have business aspirations; Madam Walker will be present to answer all questions and give information concerning the work of the company throughout the country. The officers of the Walker Philadelphia union, under whose auspices the convention is being held, are: President, Mrs. Margaret M. Thompson; vice president, Mrs. Brittina Walker; correspondent, secretary, Mrs. Rosa Owens; recording secretary, Miss Ethel Mitchell; financial secretary, Mrs. V. V. Maghuley, and transurer, Mrs. B. F. Parker. Race In State of Upright in the South It is useless for people who claim to have the interest of the colored race at heart to advise that the race remain in the south under the present condition of unrest, mob violence and lynching. The East St. Louis outbreak was the result of labor conditions, but it was born of the southern mob spirit. Let every one go where the law is respected and where human life is considered of more value than that of a dumb brute. The Best Philanthropic Investment. Discussing the housing problem as it exists in the different parts of the country, Dr. Charlotte Aheby of Philadelphia says that the best philanthropic investment that can be made is to build houses, not tenements, where each rent payer can in time become the purchaser of the home, whether the said, tenant be white or colored. Give every man a chance to better his condition. BUSINESS LEAGUE ON FIRM FOOTING Washington's Successor Pays Glowing Tribute to Tennessee's Chief Executive—Refers With Pride to Professor W.J. Hale's Work as an Educator and Compliments, Our Soldiers. Echoes of the recent convention of the National Negro Business league, held at Chattanooga, are still being heard. These notes of praise and satisfaction come from the public as well as from members of the organization, who are rejoicing over the fact that the league has regenerated from the shock sustained by the death of its illustrious founder and president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and has taken on new life under the Hom. J. C. Napier, whose loyalty to racial interest has endeared him to the numbers of the league. The proceedings of the league were taken down by William H. Davis of Washington, who is the official stenozor rapier for the league, Mr. Davis credits President J. C. Napier as having said in his address furnishing Governor Tom C. Rye as follows: "It is indeed a care privilege and pleasure, as well as an honor, for which we are profoundly grateful to have a real live mayor and a real live governor to be present with us in person and not by proxy for the purpose of welcoming the delegates to the eighteenth annual convention, of the National Negro Business league on behalf of this progressive city of Clintanoosa and the great state of Tennessee. * * * My friends, I know that in Governor Tom C. Rye the Negroes of this state have a friend. [Ap phrase.] "I have gone to him on more occasions than one to ask of him this favor or that favor, with respect to some member of our race, or with respect to some school or educational institution in which our race was primarily interested, or with respect to some military or other proposition affecting our race, and never has he turned his back upon any proposition or any request booking to the uplift of our people and the protection of their rights before the law." [Hearty applause.] "Why, my friends, through Governor Rye's efforts we have the best state Negro Normal school in Tennessee of any that exists in this entire country for Negroes." [Applause.] And at the head of that institution, through the recommendation of Governor Rye, we have one of the most capable and efficient young men as principal—referring to Professor W. J. Hale—that can found among the leading educators of the Negro community. We friends, we have in this great state of Tennessee, through the efforts of such men as Governor Rye, a Negro militia or military company, and that no other state in the southland can say. "There was also a time when Governor Rye, by merely a scratch of his pen, could put that Negro troop out of existence, but when a delegation called upon him, advocating such action, the declaimed that so long, as he was governor he would never write his name to any order or any legislative enactment abolishing or discharging that splendid body of Negro soldiers." [Hearty applause.] "I am glad to see that we have here on this platform the mayor of Chattanooga, who represents one of the great political parties, and the governor of our state, who represents another great political party, so you see, my friends, that all the white, people of the great state of Tennessee, irrespective of party affiliation, are friends of the Negro [applause] and are willing to lend their presence and do everything else also to an to encourage him. [Applause]. It is hard to imagine a man, a man, a stalwart, liberal minded American, whom we believe to be competent and whom we should like to see occupy the highest position in the gift of this nation—his excellence Tom C. Rye, governor of the great state of Tennessee." [Prolonged applause, Chattanooga salute and cheering.] BUNDY EXTRADITION FIGHT! Ex-Attorney General Timothy S. Hogan's Masterly Effort Ably Seconded by Bishop Joshua H. Jones THE SECOND HEARING IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY BEFORE HIS COMMISSION WAS AN EVEN MORE DRAMATIC SCENE THAN WAS THE FIRST Special to The Gazette. Columbus O.

Dr. Bunny's son, his answer was prompt and positive and his services volunteered. That is "Tin" Hogan as he is familiarly called by his close friends and, on the way, she-same Hogan who for the first time in the history of Ohio, several years ago, appointed an Afro-American (Leroy H. Godman, Esq., of this city, now at the Ft. Des Moines, Iowa, training camp), a special assistant attorney general of Ohio. Mr. Hogan's effort was masterly and so far overshadowed everything else in the hearing that no comparisons are possible. Bishop Jones closed it with a short but excellent talk that was both pertinent and timely. It was announced that the governor's decision (based on the report of his commission) would be delivered "in a few days."

The following is self-explanatory and was one of the most important papers filed in the case: St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 26, 1917. Hon. Henry C. Smith. Editor Gazette Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find a Bandy, an Ohio P.K. of the A.M.E. church, lived in Cleveland, where he has been ever since his incarceration in the county jail there a couple of years ago was fought here, last week recently morning, and early afternoon it was a hot one, too, believe the attorney and sheriff of East Lindsay and St. Clare county were again, representing the state of Illinois and hearing requisition papers used to claim the governor of that county that Dr. Bandy was sent to them. To help him decide this question whether to grant this request to Gov. Jas. M. Cox appointed a commission, consisting of Attorney Jack, a special counsel for the State administration, and his (the governor's) executive clerk, Robert T. Crew, a former newspaper man and fine fellow. Dr. Bandy is charged with complicity in the killing of two detectives who during the recent massacre in Louis, although he insists that the county jail away, when the deed was signed. A number of the members and associates of the police force of that town have been indicated for participation in the mall. It is well to remember this, as it may have had much to do with the death of those two detectives. The Illinois attorney, a poor showing, last Wednesday morning and was followed by Attorney Wilbur King. After lunch the hearing was reopened and then came the "fireworks," an act of this former daily attack of the city of Ohio for domestic attack of the case for more than an hour talked as only few men have the power and ability to talk, and only men do so, as a rule, who have heart interest in a case. OUR SOLDIERS SENTENCED ! Order For Training—Soldier Killed— White Soldier Shot—Another Color Line. Chairman J. S. Edwards, of Local (Cleveland) conscription board No. 12, received a stack of meal tickets from the first of the week to be used during mobilization. He had also received orders to curtain the colored conscripts separately. The entrainment schedule provides for the troops to leave at 11:05 o'clock, this Saturday morning, reaching Columbus at 2:25, leaving there at 4:25 and arriving at Chillicothe at 6 o'clock. Even to the North does the southern Wilson administration carry its race color-line segregation. Washington, D. C.—There will be one Afro-American regiment at every selective service cantonment where there is sufficient personnel. Adjit. Gun McCain announced Tuesday. This order ended speculation as to whether our troops will be trained with the others. Phillipings, N. J.—Harry Mason, 18, a member of Company 551, Fifth New York regiment, was killed on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, early Monday, when he stepped out of the way of one freight train directly in the path of another at Greensbridge. He was doing guard duty on railroad bridges in this vicinity. San Antonio, Tex.—The 24th U. S. infantry, members of which were forced into the recent riot at Houston, are to be sent to the Philippine islands for the remainder of the war. It is said that another battalion, not directly implicated in the Houston riots, is to be charged with conspiracy. Lexington, Ky.—Two soldiers stuned at Camp Stanley were waylaid and shot last Sunday and both police and soldiers are searching for two Negroes. Of course, the shots took effect in the legs of the soldiers neither was seriously injured.

Hogan's Mas- Seconded by Bishop a H. Jones G IN THE GOVERNOR'S OF- WEDNESDAY BEFORE ON WAS AN EVEN AMATIC SCENE AS THE FIRST are working for a good cause, and, too, without hope of pecuniary reward. When Dr. J. L. Johnson of this city approached the Hon. Mr. Hogan and asked his assistance for Rev. Dr. Bundy's son, his answer was prompt and positive and his service volunteered. He had a long history, he was highly called by his close friends and, by the way, the same Hogan who for the first time in the history of Ohio, several years ago, appointed an Afro-American (Leroy H. Godman, Esq., of this city, now at the Ft. Des Moines, Iowa, training camp), a special assistant attorney general of Ohio. Mr. Hogan's effort was masterly and so far overshadowed everything else in the hearing that no comparisons are possible.

It was announced that the governor's decision (based on the report of his commission) would be delivered "in a few days." The following is self-explanatory and was one of the most important papers cited in the case: St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 26, 1917. Hon. Joseph Smith. Editor Gazette. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find a clipping relative to the Bundy case. It would be little short of a crime for Gov. Cow to recognize extradition papers from Gov. Lowden. I was talking to a prominent man from E. St. Louis, this week, and it was his opinion that prejudice was so rampant that a fair trial was a matter of impossibility. I am firmly of that impression myself. Ohio, the state of the underground railroad, should take a firm stand against injustice. I know Bundy, have talked to him confidentially and am firmly convinced that the charge against him in E. St. Louis is a frame-up, to place the colored people in as bad a light as possible. I am a democrat, a supporter of Gov. Gaffner, and hope that Gov. Cox will show a magnanimity which Gov. Lowden a republican, has not, will not and will not show during the riots. He is in displeasure with his constituents in Illinois, his Negro supporters, and they have no confidence in his integrity. They have better faith in Gov. Cox. A fair trial for Bundy, which is impossible in E. St. Louis, will give to Gov. Cox that added reputation for a square deal, which colored people all over the nation expect to find in an executive. Yours very truly, J. M. Batchman, 3027 Clark Ave. Gov. James M. Cox, Capitol, Columbus, O. Dear Sir; Mr. Batchman is the St. Louis representative of The Gazette. He is a well known and highly respected citizen of that city, and an old resident thereof. San Antonio, Tex.—Six of our soldiers of the 24th infantry, who clashed with the civil police and troops at Waco on July 29, were found guilty of violation of the ninety-third article of war before the general court martial held recently at Camp MacArthur, Waco. Five of the men were sentenced to five years of hard labor in the U. S. penitentiary at Akron, Ohio, sixth man received ten years. All were sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from the service and to forfeit all pay and allowances due or to become due while in confinement under the sentence. The findings of the court-martial which were given out today have been forwarded to the war department at Washington. Washington, D.C.—Secretary of War Baker, Tuesday, refused the request of Congressman Dent of Alabama, that the separate battalion (9th Ohio) of our troops in camp at Montgomery with the Ohio National Guard be moved to a camp in the north. Our troops will remain in the south, despite objections. This was made plain by the secretary. To remove them north might be the spark that would promote bitter race feelings in the country, fearing it being already bitter as far as our people are concerned. The present attitude of the war department is to fight battles of the country they are good enough to go into camp with the organization to which they are attached. WHERE THE 25th IS: Honolulu, H.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1917 The War Department seems to have reached a conclusion at last, and our troops will be sent South to the army training camps. --- The Elks had one glorious time in Cleveland, last week, and left the city without causing any trouble. We are proud of this fact. Come again, gentlemen and ladies. White soldiers committed substantially the same crime, except murder, at Canton, O., the night of Sept. 2-3, as was charged against our soldiers at Houston. Tex. Very little attention has been paid to the Canton riot. The sentences given several of our soldiers of the 24th infantry, who participated in that unfortunate Houston, Texas, riot, seem to be severe and yet it is some satisfaction to know that the "courts" of that city were not permitted to dispose of their cases. --- The commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, at the recent encampment at Boston, declared that the North and South are united in defence of the country against a common foe. True. By means of manipulated census figures the North furnishes more than its quota of drafted soldiery; through its superior influence at Washington the South will have these men sent to southern camps for training; by means of its control of Congress the South will load the bulk of taxes upon the North. The two sections are united all right. In fact the South has managed to tie the North up good and tight. WILL OUR MINISTRY LEAD? The influx from the south into the north is creating a condition that thoughtful people are watching with concern. The great number of our men and women, recently from the South, appearing in the north, will create friction. To obviate this friction it is unwise to segregate them in any one district of a community or city. These people who have been without law, cowed by white brutality but running riot in the blood of each other, will create a condition that will make our hearts ache if intelligent and firm steps are not taken at once. To allow these people to become the prey of the professional gambler, the dupe of the pimp, the tool of the slave-trafficker and the politician, means ruin. Gambling dens must be closed up. A police that is fair, kind and firm must give these new recruits to our civilization a clean place to live in. The clergy must give them a gospel of righteousness, void of harangue and cant. Clergymen should unite and make it difficult for dens of vice to exist. Streets should be made safe for our women of probity and virtue to use at any time they desire. The scarlet woman, scattering her deadly virus, should be made to go. Idlers and loafers should be put to work, while drunks and inebriates confined to asylums. There must not be any disposition on the part of clergymen to compromise with expediencies and wrongs. Every movement to uplift, civilize, evangelize and educate the race in the north should be encouraged by the clergy. Time-servers in the pulpit are also dangerous. Ignorant men in the pulpit are also dangerous. Emotional fanatics that produce emotional frenzies and animalism should be eliminated from our pulpits. Any man becoming the pastor of our people should be the peer of any preachers in the community. Let us have more real men and preachers and less "doctors of Divinity" unearned. Give the people what is necessary for them to have in this life. Teach them how to life, to be intelligent citizens, respectable everywhere, courteous and quiet on the street cars and not loud on the streets. We must have a people whose public conduct will aid us, not hinder. The clergy by a firm and dignified stand can do much in this way of improvement. (REV.) Wm A. BYRD. Subscribe Now! WHERE FREEDOM IS A MOCKERY "We hold these truths to be self-evident," grandiloquently proclaimed the founders of the Fourth of July, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." What a mockery must the Declaration of Independence seem to the surviving Negroes of East St. Louis! Another stock quotation occurs at this point, though it will have to be paraphrased to make it fit: "Hath not a Negro eyes? Hath not a Negro hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same summer and winter as a white man is? If you prick him, does he not bleed? If you tickle him, does he not laugh? If you poison him, does he not die? And if you wrong him, shall he not revenge? If he is like you in the rest, he will resemble you in that... The villiany you teach him, he will execute and it shall go hard, but he will better the instruction." Heaven help America, Heaven help civilization, if the black worm ever turns! The Negroes form one-tenth of the population of this country. They own a fair and growing share of its property. They do more than their share of its work. They have fought in all of its wars. There are four regiments of them in the regular army. The Constitution puts them on an equality with other races which inhabit the United States. In practice, they have no rights—political, industrial or social—that any white person is bound to respect. The commonest accusation against black men is that they assault white women. At East St. Louis white men (and white women, too) assaulted black women. Which race sank to the lower plane? It was not the "one crime" that inflamed this Illinois settlement. The provocation was industrial. Black workers took the places of white strikers. As a rule the trades unions will not admit Negroes to membership. They force them to be scabs and then wonder that they take a job wherever they find one loose.—Buffalo (N. Y.) Evening Press. BOOSEVELT JOINED IN And Helped Cheer the Hon. Charles W. Anderson—No Segregation or Discrimination of any Kind New York City.—Ex-Collector Chas W. Anderson, who is a member of local exemption board, No. 139, for the district of New York city and who is also a member of the mid-day recruiting committee, was especially invited by Mayor Mitchel to be one of the official reviewing committee during the monster parade of the new national army along Fifth avenue. Tuesday. It was a memorable demonstration—20,000 men in line. New York had never seen such a party. It was a party. Every one in the crowds of onlookers had relatives or friends in line, and when they saw them had no hesitancy calling out to them. 'On the official reviewing stand in front of the public library at Fifth avenue and 42nd street and surrounded by army and navy officers in glittering uniforms, and bevies of ladies from the most socially prominent families in the metropolis, with federal judges, justices of state supreme court, city and state officials, members of the diplomatic corps and many of the great captains of industry of the country, stood the members of the official committee, consisting of Mayor John Purry Mitchel, Col. and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Judge and Mrs. Charles E. Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. August Belmont, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. James Speyer, Judge and Mrs. Alton Parker, Major General Daniel Appleton, Col. and Cornelius Vernand, Administr. Nathaniel R. Ushers Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves U. S. N. Brig. E. Hil Ehlo, commander of the Eastern Department, Governor's Island; Adjt. G. Charles H. Sherill, Deputy Attorney General Roscoe Coinkling, Capt. B. McDonald of the British Recruiting Commission, Commode Robert M. Forshew of the Naval Militia, Brig. Gen. George R. Dyer, G. N. Y.; Dr. Haven George, Major Willard Straight and George T. Wilson. Mayor Mitchell sent his secretary, Mr. Theodore, Rousseau, to Mr. Anderson, who occupied a seat in the third row immediately beld Col. Roosevelt, and insisted that he come forward and take a place at the reviewing rail in the front of the stand. He was then placed next to Mr. and Mrs. August Belmont on the one side and the Mayor and Col. Roosevelt on the other. When the quota from board No. 139, of which the Ex-Collector is a member, marched by the stand the men sent up three rousing cheers for Charles W. Anderson in which Col. Roosevelt, the Mayor and Mr. Belmont, joined heartily. One of the most inspiring features of this great demonstration was the sight of our soldiers walking side by side in the same companies and in the same lines with their comrades of other races. At the Polo grounds, where the men were served with lunch and where they listened to a speech from Mayor Mitchel and witnessed a game of ball between the Bostons and the Giants, the same condition prevailed. Nowhere in the arrangements was there the slightest tendency to discriminate or segregate. This was due to the broad and liberal policy of Mayor John Purry Mitchel and his committee on National Defense. At the conclusion of the parade, Col. Roosevelt expressed to Collector Anderson his especial delight at this absence of segregation, and paid Mayor Mitchel a glowing compliment on his attitude in the matter. Let us hope that the national administration will follow New York's excellent example. S. L. Goode, of Detroit, spent Sunday and Monday here. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 8, 1917.

There can be no rosy cheeked, healthy, beautiful women, without their system is sufficiently supplied with Phosphates.

I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more phosphates in the form of Argo-Phosphate for weak, worn out, haggard-looking men and women.

Smith is having a hard time of it in leading his people along the avenues of consistency. They insist upon breaking away and in compromising him and others in the fight for equality before and behind the law and in insisting upon all of the rights and privileges guaranteed by the laws of State of Ohio and those of the United States. He edited journal, The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, he indulges in the following caustic comment: "If ever there was a case of "selling a birthright for a mess of potage," our people of Cleveland were given a striking illustration of it on Monday last at Luna Park, this city. In the face of the fact that their wives, sisters, and brothers, as well as themselves, are grossly discriminated against—denied their civil rights—in that place of amusement every day in the year that it is open, because our people, will not go into the courts, use our Ohio civil rights law and break down the color lines drawn there, the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, an organization with a membership that boasts of average intelligence and some self and race respect, for the fourth or fifth time inveigled thousands of local Afro-Americans and a number from nearby cities and towns into attending, on Monday last at that park, its annual money-making scheme, advertised as an "emancipation celebration." This, too, in the face of protest after protest from the manly and womanly of our people of this community, extending over a period of four or five years. "On every day of the year that Luna Park is open, it is a notorious fact that the roller skating rink, dance hall and bathing pool are closed to our people, except on the days (two annually) the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Cleveland Caterers' Association (colored men) use it. Even on those days the bathing pool is closed to the Negroes who so far forget themselves and their civil rights as to visit the park. "More than this, they are taken unfair advantage of in various other ways, such as being overcharged by a lessening of the time allotted them for a fee in the roller skating rink and the dance hall, and in various other places at the EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR. park. The management reaps a golden harvest from the Negroes visiting the park on the two "Negro" days each year, only an insignificantly small part of which ever reaches the treasurers of the two race organizations named. In plain words, twice a year, led by the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Caterers' Association, Negroes are inveigled into paying that park management, in hard-earned and much-needed dollars, a great big golden royalty for denying them civil rights and privileges in the place every day in the year it is open, thus holding them up to the ridicule and contempt of the manly and womanly of other classes or races of people in this community. "Is it any wonder that prejudice increases so rapidly and that public places of amusement, entertainment and accommodation are so rapidly multiplying in which our people are being denied their rights and privileges, when our own will make it more profitable for them to so misinform and insult us by their own actions, and that merely entitled to under the law as men and women—citizens! And if the decent and self-respecting Afro-Americans of this community, with the proper manhood and womanhood, are to continue to sit supinely by and see this sort of thing go on from year to year, as it has been for the past four or five years, how much longer will it take for the "doctrine of surrender" and personal or organization gain Negroes, like those in the two organizations named who persist in attracting our people to colorful and interesting activities, and hard earnings—we repeat, how much longer will it take to reduce the Afro-Americans of this community to the level of their brothers and sisters in the meanest locality in the far South, as far as their civil rights and privileges in public places are concerned? "It is high time an effort was again being made to show both organizations and all such—organizations and men of the race—that the desire for personal or organization gain must not be cultivated at such tremendous sacrifice of self and race respect, manhood and womanhood, civil rights and privileges. It is an outrage upon those of the race in this community that will reach out and beyond the men and women of today on down to the children who are the men and women of tomorrow. God knows we ought to make conditions better for them if not for ourselves. "We should not tolerate any more such reprehensible acts as these Luna Park affairs, because they are unquestionably slowly but surely making living conditions in this community infinitely worse and subjecting us all to ridicule and contempt most of us are Wm.Brack,Prop.

This takes place in Ohio. In the Southland, these conditions would not obtain for the reason that colored people would put up the money and establish their own park, under their own management and the profits from the same would go into their own pockets. But the Hon. Harry C. Smith is battling for the rights of his people on one rostrum with his voice and pen and these short-sighted people are assailing the rights of themselves and their own people on another, and in a manner that is more impressive, for actions speak louder than words.

The property of the National Baptist convention will quite likely be the center of interest during sessions of the convention, which began at Muskogee, Okla., Thursday, Sept. 6. Powerful interests are at work, sowing distrust and pointing at petty technicalities in the management, in order that grave and sweeping changes might be accomplished, the ill effects of which may be felt for years to come. The National Training school at Lincoln heights, Washington, is rounding out its sixth year with a record of which a much older institution might be justly proud. The bulletin on Negro education, compiled by the United States bureau of education, on page 154, refers to this school as one of the best managed schools in the country. The record of the work accomplished by its graduates is a credit to the race and an honor to the denomination. The following shows concisely how absolutely this work is united with the National Baptist convention. Article 9 of the bylaws reads: "So long as the Women's auxiliary and the National Baptist convention shall foster the institution the executive staff of both conventions and the secretaries of the boards shall always be members of the board of trustees. At their first meeting the trustees shall divide themselves into classes by alphabetical arrangement of states as nearly equal as possible; these classes to serve one, two or three years respectively, but all trustees to continue in their offices until their successors have been elected and affiliated acceptance thereof. Subsequent elections shall be for the term of three years unless in the case of vacancies, which shall be filled for the unexpired term of the class in which they occur." Can anything be more co-operative than this? The National Training school has reached its high degree of efficiency under the able direction of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, joyfully assisted by the faithful women of the auxiliary and others. The National Baptist convention as represented by the men has been sadly barren of resplits. For twenty years it has been building a seminary for the youth of our country, and still this is but a fragment of the fertile imaginations of our strong men. While men dreamed dreams and had visions, the women under God have presented a living reality, a visible monument and a source of inspiration. God forbid that their wonderful work should inspire jealousy, incite envy or breed avarice. The National convention as such has contributed but little, if anything, toward the financial support of this work. There seems to be a deep laid plan to depose Miss Burroughs and place her in the worst possible light before the Baptists of the country. In 1916, when Miss Burroughs made an effort to promote peace in the convention her efforts were seized upon and distorted to give color to the idea that she was seeking to split the women's auxiliary. At the session of the convention held at Savannah Dr. M. M. Rogers, the accountant of the convention, made a most misleading report, in which he made thirteen saved errors. In one instance he reported Miss Burroughs had received 10 when she had received only 200. Following this, a recommendation was offered that the national convention assume direct charge of the National Training school. Despite the seriousness of the report and its effect upon the work of the school, Miss Burroughs was bowled down when she sought to set them right. This compares be tall with the spirit of justice and his play. To protect the interests of all parties concerned the trustees in their June meeting voted to employ the public accountant of the District of Columbia (a government expert), an impartial and distrusted party, to audit the books of the training school. The board in so doing proved its absolute unselfishness. The success of the work has been obtained through the excellent spirit of co-operation existing between its members. It will be interesting to note how well they will stand together under this strong attack. It will be interesting to note who will be found true to the race and right when the attack is made against this lone woman, who has never faltered or failed where sacrifice was needed or when hard work would forward a cause. The trustees have it within their power to decide this matter. If they start up all is well. If they fail the work of years will become the center of a tempest of church politics, which will quickly undo that which has been gained at the point of years of sacrifice. Never before has there been a greater need for the Christian spirit and brotherly sympathy to manifest itself in all we do than now. The National Training school is one of the greatest accomplishments of the colored women not only of this country, but of the world. Six years of diligent labor and a plant that reaches in value nearly the $100,000 mark, more than a hundred trained minds sent out from its walls to spread the gospel of service and lend added dignity to the grand Old Baptist family, are some of its achievements. From Africa, Bermuda, Haliti and all points of the states have come eager youth in quest of knowledge. They do not come in vain. At the hands of godly, industrious women they are led to a higher service and deeper conception of life. Around this great work are thrown the arms of such big hearted, intelligent, progressive women as Mrs.W, W Layton, Mrs. J, P Bryant, Mrs. Ruth L Beinett, Mrs. Mary Parrish, Mrs. A, Wilson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Brotton, Mrs. Goins, Mrs. Ea Hooper, Miss V. A, Johnson of New Jersey, Mrs. Maggie L, Walker of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Julia Layton, Mrs. M, W Vaughn, Mrs. Mary B, Talbert and many others. To seek to tear this work from the hands of such women as these is a sad reflection on them and can only be accomplished by their open or silent consent. The question that resolves itself is, can our women be true to their sex or do they, too, feel a lack of confidence in themselves? With the number of able men, such as the Rev, E. C. Morris, Rev, L. G. Jordan, Rev, J. C. Jackson, Rev, L. K. Williams, Rev, J. E. Wood, Rev, C. T. Walker, Rev, W. H. Jernagin and many others, with whom to consult, some of whom are active board members, there is certainly no ground for distrust nor room for timidity on the part of the women. The eyes of the world will be on the Muskogee convention. Stripped of every semblance of sophistry and misconception and aiming only at the facts and principles involved, if at once becomes clear that the life and success of this great work depend not upon technical points of law, but in the clearly conceived and correctly defined ideas of Christian service, loyalty and love for the race and our denomination. LEAGUE'S WORK SPREADING Branch of National Organization Formed at Trenton, N. J. At the call of Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly of Trenton, N. J., fifty representative white and colored citizens met jointly in the council chamber of the Trenton city hall late in August to discuss the conditions growing out of the large inflow of Negroes into Trenton. It is estimated that some 3,000 colored people have taken up their residence in Trenton during the past six months. The principal speaker of the meeting was Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, at whose suggestion Mayor Dommel called the conference. Mr. Jones told about the league's work in many other cities, including Newark, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Savannah, and urged that a joint community movement of white and colored citizens be formed to meet the housing, employment and recreation problems of the newcomers to the north. He said in part: "These problems are not new, nor are they peculiar to the Negro. The colored groups are usually neglected by white welfare organizations, who omit Negroes in their program of work. Thus the arrival of many of their southern brethren tends to accentuate the unfavorable conditions and to make them more difficult of improvement. Factories and foundations have made the demand for Negro labor, and it is here to answer the call. No Chester or East St. Louis incident can stop its determined advance. Jointly we must lessen the friction incident to the tremendous movement of population by the application of modern philanthropy and unselfish statesmanship." Mayor Donnelly, who presided, opened the meeting by saying that he had called the best citizens, white and black, together for the conference, for he realized that only through a thorough understanding between the races could peace and harmony prevail in Trenton. He said that he was determined to see the Negroes given decent housing and a fair chance to bring their children up properly and, indeed, to find the north more to their liking than the southern communities from which they had emigrated. Dr. A. S. Fell, city health officer, spoke of the pneumonia and gripe epidemic of the early spring and the overcrowded condition in the houses due to the large number of lodgers who were taken in the homes. A permanent organization was formed with unanimous approval, the following officers being elected: President, John E. Gill, head of a large local business college and candidate for the New Jersey state assembly; vice presidents, Paul A. Collins, leading colored physician; John M. Herbert and Samuel Haverstick, leading white citizens; secretary, Professor T. Edward Kimney, principal colored public school; treasurer, Robert A. Messler. The committee has adopted its constitution and settled on its plan of work. This work is a part of the Urban league's efforts to get branch organizations started in the large cities where Negroes are a considerable portion of the population. Educating Boys at Bordentown, N. J. The Chantanuqa recently held under the auspices of the Bordentown industrial school for boys at Bordentown, N. J., was a splendid success. Senator H. J. Bells of New Jersey and the Hon. James W. Johnson of New York were among those who delivered helpful addresses. The speakers discussed at length the subject of race migration from the south. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER S. 1917.
