Springfield, O.-The thirty-sixth annual conference of the North Ohio Conference of the A. M. E. church closed with its services, Sunday, Rt. Rev. C. T. Shaffer presided, assisted by Rev. John A. Collins, P. E. of this district and Dr. Chas, Bundy, P. E. of the Cleveland district. Rev. Chas, H. Young, pastor of St.-James' church, Cleveland, preached the annual sermon. The reports of these two districts showed gratifying increase, both spiritually and financially. The conference was welcomed by Hoyle, C. Amos, manager. The response was made by Rev. R. C. Rausom, of N. Y. City, editor of the A. M. E. Quarterly Review. Several like addresses and responses were made and a number of excellent musical numbers rendered. Closing remarks were made by Rev. W. B. Lee, pastor of North St. church in which the conference sessions were held. The attendance, upon the part of the general public, was large. Among the visitors to the conference was Rev. J. C. Caldwell of Nashville, sec. and treas. of Allen C. E. League. Our people of this city were highly praised for their excellent care of the conference members and visitors. Bishop Shaffer made an ideal presiding officer. The officers of the conference were: Rev. H. F. Fox, chief sec.; Rev. T. W. Woodson and C. M. Hogan, assist'; Dr. Chas. Bundy, treas.; Dr. Carl Shaffer, private sec. to the bishop. This was one of the most satisfactory gatherings in its history. Next meeting at Dayton. CO. B. 29 BATALLION MAKES HIT IN THE SOUTH Montgomery, Ala.—One company of the Ohio National Guard at Camp Sheridan is composed of Negro troops. Company B of the Ninth separate battalion of Columbus, and the men have been so earnestly at work since their arrival not one has left the camp to visit the city. These have exhibited more energy in getting their quarters in fine shape than any other troops from the Buckeye state, and they seem to be feverishly ambitious to excel in every phase of camp activity. The ground of the camp section in Company B is camped; has been raised slightly to give it good drainage and the men have placed stones on the site in various designs, giving their surroundings an artistic effect which has created favorable comment. Company B has its own hand of 12 pieces and every evening it gives a concert in front of its headquarters. Capt. C. C. Caldwell keeps his men on the hop, skip and jump all the time they are awake. Three other Negro companies will arrive soon and Captain Caldwell deserves the honor of being the second condition of the site they are to occupy. The behavior of these, Negro troops has dispatched apprehension among the Montgomery people that trouble might follow their arrival. No one looks for or expects it now and there will be no repetition of the Houston riot in Montgomery.

BAPTISTS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING AT RICHMOND Lott Carey Convention Raises Large Sum at Virginia Metropolis. Richmond, Va.-With a plan for Liberia by Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, a recapitulation of the work along educational and missionary lines under way in Haiti by Dr. A. M. Moore of Raleigh and a declaration against mob violence in the report of the committee on state of the country, the twenty-first annual session of the Lott Carey Baptist foreign mission convention closed here the first week in September. The Rev. W. H. Stokes of the Ebenezer Baptist church was the entertaining pastor. The report of the committee on the state of the country, which was submitted by Rev. C. C. Somersett, depraved mob violence, as had happened IN East St. Louis, Chester, Houston and other places, and asserted that the migration from the south was due in large measure to the treatment the race received in that section. The Rev. Abraham Taylor told of his experiences as a missionary in Liberia during the past thirty-seven years. The annual address of the president, Rev. C. S. Brown of Whitem, N. C., designated that the present work, prizes a fine opportunity for the spreading of Christian principles. The annual report of the corresponding secretary, the Rev. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, was a general review of the work being done by the convention during the past year. The total receipts amounted to $11,000. The woman's auxiliary also held its meeting at the same time. Mrs. L. A. Hope of this city presided. The report of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Anna L. M. Gulman, was a detailed review of the work of the women during the year. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Dr. C. S. Brown, president; the Rev. W. J. Howard, O. S. Slums, C. Z. Parker, D. E. Samuel, C. H. Johnson, W. T. Coleman and W. M. Moss, vice presidents; A. W. Pegus, Raleigh, N. C., recording secretary; Dr. W. M. Alexander, corresponding secretary; Rev. J. H. Hughes, treasurer; the Rev. G. E. Read, statistician; the Rev. A. A. Grubam, auditor; the Rev. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, chairman of the executive board, and Professor Nelson Williams, secretary. The women elected the following officers: Mrs. A. E. Rundolph, president; Mrs. Anna L. McGulman, corresponding secretary; Mrs. J. D. Avery, recording secretary; Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, Mrs. P. G. Shepard, chairman of executive board, and Miss M. E. Wilson, secretary. THE JENKINS ORPHANAGE. New Yorkers Raise Fund For Institution at Charleston, S. C. Under the auspices of a committee of 100, of which Mrs. M. P. M. Smith, a well known church and social worker, was the chairman, an entertainment was given at Palace Casino, New York, on Thursday evening, Sept. 20, for the benefit of the Jenkins orphanage, Charleston, S. C. The entertainment was a genuine success and reflects much credit upon the committee, which worked zealously to aid an institution which is doing a beneficial service for orphan children at Charleston. At the close of the entertainment a reception was given in honor of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins, president of the orphanage for the past twenty-six years. During the Rev. Mr. Jenkins' administration of affairs the institution has given practical training to more than 8,000 orphan boys and girls and has secured the release from prison of nearly 500 youths who were convicted of petty offenses of various kinds. Long Prison Terma for Boldiere NEED YOUNG MEN FOR THE CHURCH President of Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va., Suggests Campaign to Recruit Religious Leaders Who Can Inspire Men to Become Followers of Christ—Commends Billy Sunday. Archdeacon James S. Russell, principal of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school at Lawrenceville, Va., in an address before the ministers' conference at Hampton, Va., recently, in part said: "For some months our country has been putting forth an unparalleled effort to enlist young men for the work of defense "I army, navy and farm service. I would be the last person to attempt to minimize the importance of this effort. We know that the world must be made safe for democracy, and that the responsibility of making it safe for democracy rests upon America." "Important and absolutely essential as is the campaign for recruits to fight this war of democracy, there is another campaign that is even more needed. If does not concern national security or commercial prosperity or political freedom; it concerns something without value even those blessings are of little value; it concerns that spiritual progress toward which the world is ever blindly striving; it has to do with furthering the coming of the kingdom of God. "There is just now a most urgent need of a depliance effort to cast young men for the work of the ministry. The church militant needs soldiers. It needs men of every denomination and of every race. This statement is based upon three truths, each of which I shall try to develop. First, it is evident to the impartial observer that the modern church lacks something; second, what it chiefly lacks is men in the public third, the way to supply this lack is to make a definite well conducted effort to get recruits for the ministry. "We are fast becoming a nation of nonchurchgoers. Now this is a deplorable state of affairs, for it is, and always has been, the function of the church to minister to man's religious needs. The longing to get in touch with God is in the heart of every human being. Although each individual must make his own approach he cannot well do it without the aid of the church. Christ stated plainly that his followers were to build up a church in order to spread their Master's deities. The church is the conserver of the spiritual, just as the state is the conserver of the political. If we are not to degenerate into a godless people the decline of the church must be stopped. "The causes of this decline are both external and internal. Many ministers would place the blame wholly on outside causes, such as the worship of gain, the increase of the spirit of doubt and all those distractions of modern life that tend to keep the soul from knowledge of itself. "I have more respect for human nature than to attribute the religious decline wholly to such causes. I believe the church itself is parity to blame. It has repelled many truly religious people and driven them to seek to satisfy their spiritual longings elsewhere, perchance in some fraternal organization. They are seeking peace, but know not where to find it. Like the ancient Athensians, they search in the market place for the unknown God. "It is the business of the church of Christ to inspire men to be true followers of the Christian religion. It should help to make real and vital the the that binds us to God. It has no other purpose. Whatever else it may do, whatever causes it may adopt, should all be subsidiary to this main purpose. To make men religious, to increase spirituality, to lead them to the knowledge of God and to make them brothers in Christ—this is the function of the church. "I believe that what is most needed to remedy this state of affairs is to fill our pulpits with Christian preachers of power. If we do this the filling of the pews will take care of itself, in spite of his many faults, in spite of his vulgarity, in spite of his crude theology, in spite of his intolerance. Billy Sunday can always get hearers. For weeks last summer his tubeflue in New York was filled to overflowing. Why? Simply because people believed that he had a message for them." "The Christian minister is not out of date. The world is yet far from Christianized. It seems ridiculous to speak of nations as Christian who fly at each other's throats like mad dogs. The world is full of horrors that Christ came to blot out. And he can do it if we give his church a chance. It has become a trite saying that we are standing today at the threshold of a new era, but it is supremely true. This great world war marks the zeith of nationalism. The next period in the world's history will be that of internationalism. There will be a chance for the spirit of human brotherhood to work out good results for all. The program of Christianity is now about to begin. Beauty will be given for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the spirit of praise for heaviness." HAWKINS HEADS KNIGHTS. Luprene Lodge of Pythias Holds Biennial Meeting at Koughpeake, N. Y. Poughpeake, N. Y.

The world war has made prominent the problems relating to the Negro. There is in the United States his migration to the north. On the firing line in France thousands of black soldiers from Africa are doing their part. Africa, the continent richest in natural resources, is one of the stakes for which the war is being fought. All of these things have increased the demand for accurate, comprehensive and concise information concerning the Negro. Such information is supplied by the almost 500 pages of the 1016-17 Negro Year Book. Encouragement For William D. Allen. William D. Allen, a member of Chemical Engine company No. 1 at Pittsburgh, has been in the service for the past fifteen years. He has rendered valuable and loyal service and was recently promoted to the position of captain. WHY THEY COME NORTH! Shoot to Death Mother and Son—Why Afro-Americans Leave the South and Come North—The Chain Gangs, Etc. Arcadia, La—John Lewis and his mother were killed and several whites and Afro-Americans wounded here, on Monday, in clashes between families. The trouble started when Pierce Dance, (white), started to settle a quarrel with Lewis with a pistol. Dance was disarmed by Lewis after the latter had been wounded. Later friends and relatives lynch-murdered Lewis and his aged mother, after a bloody fight. They shot them to death. The whites killed and wounded is kept a secret, AS USCUL. OHIO NEGRO WITH SOFT HANDS GOES TO PRISON There was not rest in Atlanta for Fish Bush, Ohio Negro, who came here Monday. He was sent Tuesday to the city prison by Acting Recorder Johnson, of the Fifth Ward, for 30 days on a charge of being unemployed. "There's no sense in foaming about the streets," said Judge Johnson. "We don't need Negroes here with such uncalloused hands as you've got." The above is a verbatim clipping When people are satisfied and happy they do not migrate, says the Hon. Chris V. Hard, of Columbus, former member of the Ohio legislature and veteran journalist, editor and publisher, Continuing, Mr. Hard said: The colored people are leaving the south because of accumulative wrongs. What chance the colored man has in the south is shown by a recent article by Dr. George W. Kirchhew, one of the foremost penologists and prison reform advocates in the country. While black people with the prison Negro, it requires no stretch of the imagination to picture what the status of the colored race there must be if it has to submit to such intolerable conditions (which it certainly does). Dr. Kirchhew says: "In Georgia there are no prisons in the ordinary sense of that term, except for a comparatively small number of men and women who, either because of disabilities or, for social reasons, are not put to work on the roads. Every county takes care of its own prisons. The county is distributed, in gangs varying perhaps from 20 to 150 each, throughout the county in road camps." The convicts are now worked by the county warden for the benefit of the county and thus of the State at large. The roads built by them are of most excellent quality, and it is estimated that the convicts, most of whom, it must be remembered, are Negroes, are a distinct asset to the State. A warden of one of the most populous counties in his charge over worth (leaving £250 week each to the county. This looks like good business, but it has its dark side. "In some counties it is alleged that when more men are needed for road work the gangs are rapidly filled up through the co-operation of the prosecuting attorneys and the courts. And it is further asserted that it is almost hopeless for a man entitled to parole to receive his discharge during the busy season of road making. On the one hand, the gangs are alleged to reference has been made, there is no industrial work except farming carried on. "While engaged in working on the roads, the men are heavily guarded, always being guarded by a keeper armed with a shotgun. With very few exceptions the men' wear chains about their legs. In some instances, in the case of men working on the roads, I saw that their legs were chained together in such a way as to permit a man to do his work, but so as to disable him from running, that he was chained on wooden cots set side by side in the large shack, which is their only refuge from the road and the weather, and a heavier chain, known as a gang chain, which is attached by a staple to one end of the dormitory, is run down the whole line of cots on one side, through the ankle rings on the prisoners, so that from 30 to 60 men are chained together as well as to the building in which they are supposed to rest. For breaches of discipline, such as attempts to escape, the gangs are chained in the form of 10 lashes on the bare back, and this may be repeated as often as is necessary to lead the wrongdoer to see the error of his ways. Patronize The Gazette Advertisers WHY THEY LEAVE THE SOUTH "The hours of labor seem to me to be exceedingly long. At this season of the year the men are aroused at 3:35 a.m., and with a break of from an hour to two hours at noon they are not returned to camp until dark. I saw a large camp of 130 odd men come in at the close of the day's work; dragging with their feet the chains that bound them. And I saw them again an hour later, after their evening meal, and they looked to me utterly distressed. What caused the warden with his energetic personality inspired them to; sing for the strangers, and they rendered a few religious hymns sweetly and melodiously; but at no time did they shake off the impression of almost complete discouragement. "The people of Atlanta say that the road camps in Fulton county, within whose limits Atlanta lies, are the best in the State, and that more has been done by the present warden to humanize living and working conditions of the convicts than has been done in a generation before his appointment a few years ago. I can readily believe these statements, as the warden appeared to me to be a capable, humane man, and would be apt to welcome any measure of improvement that seemed to him to be practical. I could not help wondering what conditions must exist in the counties that have not been fortunate enough to secure a warden of the type of the Fulton county man." ```markdown ``` IN UNION IN HARMONY SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS COME A Pretence the Justice.

OHIO NEGRO WITH SOFT HANDS GOES TO PRISON There was not rest in Atlanta for Fish Bush, Ohio Negro, who came here Monday. He was sent Tuesday to the city prison by Acting Recorder Johnson, of the Fifth Ward, for 30 days on a charge of being unemployed. "There's no sense in loafing about the streets," said Judge Johnson: "We don't need Negroes here with such uncalloused hands as you've got." The above is a verbatim clipping on the headline and report—printed on the third page, home edition of the Atlanta Georgian, Tuesday, September 18, 1917. The facts reveal a most outrageous state of affairs. Bush only gets to Atlanta, Monday; he is arrested Monday night for being unemployed; he came from Ohio; he is sent to the stockade Tuesday morning or 90 days without a job; he is unrestricted (facts if possible), cause more unrest among lowly colored people, and create more indignation in the breasts of intelligent colored people, than any other pest of which we know. If you seek emigrant agents who are doing effective work in Georgia, you don't have to go far; just read just such news items and you have the agent beyond a doubt. It is scarcely believable. The Independent knows that there is no law, state or municipal, which punishes as crime, acts described by the facts described in the Georgian; if this Negro was pummeled at the police, the allegory the Negro is not the law breaker, but the authority supposed to administer the law is the destroyer of the law. The Negro, under the facts, is clearly victimized, and if sympathizing with him is "condoning crime in the race," the Independent is proud to admit to the world that it is certainly condoning and sympathizing and everything else—Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, Sept. 22, 1917. SHOT DOWN LIKE A DOG That Reuben Mason, a Negro truck driver for The Tripod Paint Company was shot down in the street like a dog while on duty for the company by a white out-law. Wednesday morning, goes without saying; that a human life should be taken because a servant in the discharge of his duty fails to move his truck out of the way of a white man's automobile, is a shame that reflects upon the intelligence and humanity of our community, and it argues as the Constitution stated in its editors' Thursday morning, the peril that life is placed in, in our city by the menace of the ever ready pistol toter. As far as the Independent has been ascertained, Reuben Mason was a faithful law abiding Negro, applying himself diligently to the service of his employer; not indolent or insulting as the average white man would put it, but obedient and respectful to a fault. That the life of such a useful and helpful employee should be taken by a bully like J. B. McElroy for simply disobeying his orders to move on, is a crime that deserves the most searching investigation and punishment. — Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, Sept. 22, 1917.

In our next issue *The Gazette* will have an interesting statement to make anent the candidacy for the council in ward H of Roger N. Dillard. "The Birth of a Nation," reopened in Ohio, Monday, in the auditorium at Toledo. Will the $300-a-year editor Prof. W. E. B. DuBois of N. Y. City and the N. A. A. C. P., make another fight against it in Ohio—make another glorious and pitiful FAILURE? When the fight against it was made last spring, the world was quietly pass-around in Cleveland by DuBois' representatives here that those who helped the editor of *The Gazette* to have the miserable film barred from Ohio, more than two years ago, were not needed. We have been told, by reliable members of the race at Columbus and elsewhere in the state that their efforts to assist were not welcomed. This doubtless explains the miserable failure better than anything else and shows a spirit that should never characterize any fight for the race. Such selfishness and contemptibleness, in such occasions, are almost criminal in effect at times. REPUBLICAN PATRIOTISM - DEM- OCRATIC PARTSANSHIP OCEATIC PARTISANSHIP The revenue bill was revised by the Senate committee on finance and as reported and advocated by the Democratic chairman of that committee undoubtedly had the approval of the White House. Yet, of the fifty-three Democrats, who compose the majority of the Senate, only thirty-five could be ministered in support of the committee's proposals for the taxation of incomes, and the measure was dependent upon Republican support. Twenty-five of the forty-three Republicans in the Senate determined to "stand by the President" and, as usual, Mr. Wilson's political opponents saved the day for him. On that same day three important nominations were received in the Senate. One was for Commissioner of Patents, and a man from Georgia got the place. Another was for Assistant Attorney General, and a man from Tennessee got that. The third was a brigadier-generalship in the new army, and that billet went to the adjutant general of Arkansas. Three deserving Democrats to be confirmed by a Senate wherein, except for Republican support, President Wilson could not pass the legislation which he demands and which the country needs for the carrying on of the war. The Republicans in Congress gave thought to the nation; the President in the White House gives thought to his pants. A WONDER OF THE WORLD One morning last week, several Afro-Americans and a "white" man were arranged before an assistant U. S. district attorney in the federal building, this city, because they did not have registration cards. The attorney asked why they did not have them and also if they did not want to fight for the country that "projected them," etc. etc. The Afro-Americans all gave good reasons for not having the card while the "white" American said he did not believe in war. All of which led us to send Attorney Bennettstein the following communication which our readers will have no difficulty in understanding and thoroughly use: Cleveland, O., Sept. 25, 1917 Assist, U. S. Dist. Atty. Breitenstein, Federal Building Cleveland, Ohio Dear Sir: In reply to the question you proponed to the five "Negroes" and the "white" man who sat before you on a recent morning charged with a failure to register, I wish to call your attention to the marked copy of my paper sent herewith, and to say that as far as the "Negroes" are concerned, south or north, particularly, however, in the former, the marked articles will give you a correct idea as to how the country "protects" (7) them. Please read the articles carefully. They will give you a much clearer understanding of the Afro-Americans' unfortunate position in the country of his birth; the man he has done so much for in every war and, strange to say, in spite of it all, the one he is still willing to do for more than thousands of the so-called "white" citizens, native born and naturalized. I am sure that if you will give this matter a little study, it will not only afford you much information as to true conditions existing in our country but will prove far more interesting than any novel you have ever read. One of the wonders of the world, today, is that the Afro-American retains unquestioned loyalty in spite of mistreatment, generally, south and north, when it comes to his citizen rights and privileges, which "heggas description." Very truly yours, HARRY C. SMITH. DOINGS OF THE RACE Charles S. Stewart has taken charge of the publicity work of the "colored" section in connection with the United States Food Administration, looking forward to educating our people in the matter of conservation of food. Danny Shay, ("white"), ex-manager of Milwaukee A. A. ball team, went on trial in Criminal Court, Indianapolis, Monday, on a charge of brutally anti-cold-bloodedly murdering an Afro-American waiter in a cafe following Shay's unwarranted abuse of the waiter. "Major" Taylor, the famous spinner, won the Old Timers' race from a dozen starters at the Velodrome in Newark and the fans who gave the famous spinner a demonstration after he had beaten Arthur Ross. The other veterans in the race were Walter Bardgett, Alex McLean, Naat Butler, Sam Brock, Victor Hesse, Ed Blauvelt, Howard Freeman and J. H. Chapman, all "white." "Mile-a-minute Murphy" started the race and old Jack Prince was the referee. Colored women visitors to the public galleries of the United States Senate are not allowed to occupy the ladies galleries where white women may sit. Instead they must occupy seats in the men's gallery where white and colored men sit together. These are the facts as a result of investigation. This is the first time in the history of the United States that such segregation has been made—Washington (D. C.) Eagle. "The South is in the saddle." Writing on "thirty years ago," in the N. Y. Age, T. Thomas Fortune said, last week: "William H. Dupree was pointed to as the type of official efficiency as the Superintendent of Post Office Station A, Boston, while Harry C. Smith of The Cleveland Gazette was still wreathed with the laurels of successful song writing as the author of 'Be True, Bright Eyes.'" TO WORK; NOT FIGHT! The U. S. Needs Our Mon- Stewarded and Trusted Employees Offer Them Positions. NEW YORK CITY.-Four regiments of NGrover stevedores are being organized here for service in France it is announced by Lieut M. A. Kerwin of the commissary department, who will be an officer in one of the regiments. The commanding officers of the regiments will be "white" men. That there are plenty of opportunities open to our men in the government service at this time is indicated in a letter received, Monday, by A. R. Gillespie, from the army quartermaster's department at Washington. The transport and stevedore branches of the quartermaster's department are seeking our men, the letter says, and promotions to the better educated and more efficient men will be awarded unstintingly. O, yes. In a letter to Secretary of War Baker recently Mr. Gillespie pointed out there are scores of well educated colored men whose services to the government in clerical work would prove invaluable. They are not wanted, of course, for the clerical positions. Applicants for the hard work may apply to army recruiting stations requesting to be assigned to stevedore regiments at Newport, Va. If the recruiting officers advise they have no authority for making such assignments applicants are requested to direct the recruiting officers to wire the adjutant general's office, Washington, for authority.

Athletes increase their strength, energy and endurance 200% or more by simply taking a few weeks treatment of Argo-Prophate. Atlanta, Ga., Dr. F. A. Jacobson says lack tone. They become nervous, irritant Phosphates are just as essential to table, despondent, melancholy, the brain any man or woman who tires easily, is bags and the memory fails. Therefore nervous, or irritable, worn out, or looks if you wish to preserve your youthful haggard and pale to make a strong, rovim, vigor and vitality, to a ripe old bust, vigorous healthy body, as they are age, you must supply the deficiency of cotton to make it grow. The lack of Phosphates lacking in your body by using Phosphate is the cause of all enemic Argo-Phosphate, the form of Phos-conditions, and the administration of phates most easily assimilated. Atlanta, Ga., Dr. F. A. Jacobson says that Phosphates are just as essential to any man or woman who tires easily, is nervous, or irritable, worn out, or looks haggard and pale to make a strong, robust, vigorous healthy body, as they are to cotton to make it grow. The lack of Phosphate is the cause of all anemic conditions and the administration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, care worn men and women 300 per cent, in two or three weeks' time in many instances, and their continued use will build up the whole nervous system and give new life, vim, vigor, and vitality to the whole body, always prescribe Argo-Phosphate paired with colorless, and it is surprising to see how quickly a few weeks' treatment will transform a pale face to a rosy cheeked beauty. There can be no rosy cheeked, healthy, beautiful women, without their system is sufficiently supplied with Phosphates. In recent interviews with physicians on the grave and serious consequences of a deficiency of Phosphates in the blood of American men and women. 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. When the skin is pale and flesh flabby, it is a sign of anemia. When the phosphates go from the blood the pink cheeks 'go too. The muscles NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate, which is recommended and prescribed by physicians in all enemic cases, is not a secret or patent medicine, but one that is sold and recommended by well known druggists everywhere, and physicians are daily subscribing the constituents contained in it. Being entirely unlike many other Phosphates, it is easily assimilated and will be found effective in the treatment of indigestion and stomach troubles, as well as for care worn, nervous conditions. The manufacturers of Argo-Phosphate will forfeit to any charitable institution $300.00 if you name someone under 65 who lacks Phosphates, and increase their strength and endurance 100 per cent to 300 per cent or more in one month's trouble. It is dispensed by all reliable druggists.

Further explanation will appear in our next issue, if necessary. Mr. James Lynch, one of our oldest residents, and years ago a clairinet player in the old Excelsior Reed and Cornet hands, was found dead in his room at 3014 Central Ave., early Wednesday morning. His wife, Mr. Mamie Compton, died about a year and a half, a half ago, "him" as he was familiarly called by his close friends, a host of friends who will sincerely mourn his demise. Slaughter Bros. have charge of the remains. Finaal services Friday at 2 p. m., at their rooms in Central Ave. Postmaster Murphy last week Thursday wrote Postmaster General Harleson asking permission to employ as clerks and letter carriers men other than those certified by the civil service commission. Murphy said the civil service lists are exhausted, for the first time since civil service was instituted twenty-five years ago. Twenty-three clerks and carriers have resigned, last week; to go to war, bringing the total resignations up to forty-three. More are expected. One of our young attorneys furnishes The Gazette the following; "Roscoe Conkin Simmons, of Louisville, Ky, spoke at Cory M. E. church, last week Thursday evening, to a large audience. His speech was not characterized by any wealth of information (possibly none at all) but rather by indulgence in wide stretches of imagination and flowery platitudes. The gospel which he has to preach is not calculated to instruct our people of this country as to the true position they occupy, or to point them to an intelligent way of achieving the best there may be for them in the future. All in all his speech was a failure, except for oratorical effect." Old residence sections of Cleveland are being neglected because of demands made by residents of newly annexed territory in the outskirts, according to a charge made, Monday, by Councilman Reynolds (white) of the tenth ward. "Because the city has not placed a new sewer in E. 30th St., a proposed crosstown car line has been held up for years," he said. "Money once was voted for the E. 30th St. sewer but we haven't got it yet. The car line in E. 30th St. should have been built before the E. 105th St. line. The people in the center of the city are forced to pay for improvements constantly being made in the outlying districts." What a pity it is ward 11 is practically without representation in the city council. Much of E. 30th St. is in ward 11. If you own an auto or operate one, or expect to own or operate one, here your chance to learn how to take the engine apart and put it together again, how to repair blowouts and carburetors and gears and clutches and all that. Public school classes in auto repairing are to be part of the curriculum of the Cleveland evening schools which open Monday. Assistant School Superintendent Castle has announced the auto repair classes will be held at East and West Techinal High schools. They will be open to everybody who wants to take advantage of them, he said. While the night school courses in repair work are open to machine owners—many of whom can afford chauffeurs—the classes, if crowded, will be conducted to preference to young men who wish to learn the auto repairing as a means of livelihood. Starting also in the evening schools Monday will be classes in telegraphy. These will be offered at the request of the U. S. war department, which has notified Spartanning of the great need for telegraphers. Because of the army's demand for trained operators many positions are open in the commercial field.

J. S. Jackson's two motions (at Antioch and St. John's church meetings) have not disturbed it in the least, it seems. Some one should take up this matter, in a proper way, at once, and dispose of that money. It should be put to some good use, and not allowed to longer remain in any one's possession.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WORK Leaders of Many Institutions of Learning Respond to the Call of United States Commissioner of Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton, For Conference on Important Federal! Document. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Washington—Dr. P. P. Claxton. United States commissioner of education, recently met in conference some eighty men and women, who are deeply interested in, and responsible for, the development of Negro education. Some of the ablest colored men and women in the field of education were present to give and receive information. The conference was called to discuss Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones' study of "Negro Education," with a view to securing a better adjustment of the public and private agencies which are financing and managing Negro schools from the elementary through the professional grades. While fine work has been done in the missionary spirit, there has often been a lack of thoroughgoing co-operation between the public and private agencies. Dr. Jones' report, made for the United States bureau of education in co-operation with the Phelps-Stokes' fund, makes this clear. Help Work of Public Schools. Dr. Claxton, together with other experts, advocates the gradual withdrawal of private or denominational funds from elementary school work and the investment of additional funds in the work of training teachers. Money can only buy the best teaching talent that is in the market. Only through better training can good teachers be secured. If private agencies will do the strategic work of training more and better teachers then in a reasonably short time the public schools, elementary and secondary, will be greatly improved and will be held in higher esteem by the citizens. Public school officials do not easily try educational experiments. Private agencies must discover what will help make people intelligent and efficient about the lives they live. After they have safely conducted the experiments then the people, who will want a new type of education, will demand it of their school officials. Public school education then becomes a form of democratic education, in which every boy and girl, man and woman, receives the opportunity of developing the fullest possible measure of manhood and womanhood and of living on a higher plane of usefulness and happiness. Power of Education Emphasized. Throughout the two day conference the thought of education as a democratizing power was emphasized. Men and women who are authorities in their respective fields talked of education for better and happier living, of training for the duties of citizenship and of preparation for better home and community life. There were no wasted words on the subject of what education Negroes should receive as compared or contrasted with what other people should be given. Dr. Claxton and his associates kept constantly applying the principles of sound education to the economic and social conditions which face 12,000,000 loyal Americans. That elementary schools should receive a good deal of attention was perfectly natural. What Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Chariotteville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater boards, had to say was as interesting as it was significant and striking. Dr. Dillard declared that, while the country thinks it knows about elementary education, only those who have repeatedly "gone into the background" really know how poor are the school buildings, how short are the terms, how poorly paid and poorly trained are the teachers. "We need to spend on elementary education for all the people teh or twenty times as much as we are spending," said Dr. Dillard, who referred to the education of white children as well as to colored children. and added: "Progress depends on increasing the number of those who have a fair chance in the battle of life. There are still far too many people living on the ragged edge of nothing—people who have no ambition, no incentive, no hope. "We must bring home to the American public the thought that country people everywhere must be brought up. The school school must lead the people into a new and better life." Superintendent Harris of Louisiana pointed out that, while there are in his state 100,000 Negro children in elementary schools, there are 130,000 Negro children who are not in school at all. He retracted the common argument that southern states cannot afford to have good Negro schools on account of a double system of schools and the heavy tax burden by showing, first, that the present buildings used for Negro education are crowded and the Negro teachers, with classes averaging sixty-five pupils, are kept very busy, and, second, that every man in Louisiana, whether he owns property and pays taxes immediately into the state treasury or works for others, really helps the state support, through his financial help, all its institutions. He pointed out frankly that white people in Louisiana in large numbers do not really believe very much in Negro education. They fear that education means power-power to work more intelligently, to acquire property, to pay taxes, to determine how public money shall be spent, to exercise political privileges. He showed clearly the results of keeping Negroes ignorant—insanitary homes, homes that are not attractive and not fit for wives and children. In Louisiana there are 2,000 in the penitentiary. About 95 per cent of this number are illiterate Negroes—people who have never been taught to respect the law. Most of the criminal expense is due to the prosecution of ignorant Negroes. Mr. Harris has been showing the people of Louisiana that intelligent Negroes make good citizens in a community. He has put this question to many of the thinking people: "If intelligence makes Negroes good citizens, would it not be, wise to put more money in Negro education and give the colored people a chance to lead better lives?" Creating Public Sentiment. To President Clarke and the faculty of Southern university at Baton Rouge, Mr. Harris paid a warm compliment for all that they have been effectively doing toward helping to create throughout Louisiana a public opinion in favor of Negro education. He closed his fearless address with the statement that he and the parish superintendents of schools believe in the education of all people through competent teachers who receive good pay and teach for long terms. Louisiana is certainly loosening up! President Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, stated that, in the present day, men must have good thinking processes so as to be able to cope with the serious problems which face them on ever The support of the Negro colleges comes largely from denominations, which, like individuals, they may have limitations, are growing more and more liberal. The Negro college has a great future. Today it needs to be properly protected and supported. Negro education is undergoing the stress of a great war and many serious problems. Dr. I. Garland Penn declared that the demonstrations are making good in the work of educational standardization. Those who manage denominational schools do not always have an easy time in convincing their constituents that certain called for changes are desirable. That Negroes are interested in education is shown for example by the collection of $10,000 in six weeks among the colored Methodists of Texas. One Formula For Race Adjustment. Professor Kelly Miller stated that people must speak with their own tongues. Leaders of the Negro race must be as well qualified as white leaders. There is one formula for race adjustment. It is the law of the road: "Keep to the Right." "Patriotism is the chief aim of education. The nation can rely unlimitedly on the Negro to follow the flag wherever it may lead." Dr. Robert R. Moton spoke briefly on "Vocational Education." He declared that education must be used for helping humanity: "Armstrong, Washington, and Friess taught men the dignity and necessity of labor with the hands. Negroes from Mississippi to Massachusetts are not asking the public for charity, but simply for the chance to work. The time has come not to think of color, when we can serve humanity." Miss Nannie Burroughs, who was introduced as "Standing fearlessly for the best things," said: "People are interested in the education of all Americans. We want to prepare people so that they will realize their ideals. We want to train people to work skillfully and efficiently in communities so as to make these communities ideal. This is also true of the home and schoolroom. We want to bring things up to the American standard. We want to make people dissatisfied with things that are not ideal and make them realize that they care to do things that are worth while. We need an army of colored women who can teach people how to live clean, orderly lives. "Education is the thing which will beat prejudice to a frazzle." EXTEND WORK OF EDUCATION. Agricultural High School Suggested For McGregan City, La. The establishment of an agricultural high school at Morgan City, La., was the subject for discussion at a mass meeting held in the Mount Zion Baptist church in the above named town the first week in September. The principal address was delivered by the Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans, whose subject was "Some Important Phases of Negro Education." Among the promoters of the movement are Professor F. M. Tucker, Dr. H. C. Tute, Reva. A. Carter and Williams. Morgan City is located in a rich farm land section of Louisiana, and a school of the kind mentioned would be of much advantage to the people of Morgan City and vicinity. Howard University Opens For Business Howard university opened for the reception of new students on Wednesday, Sept. 19. Work in the general classes will soon be in progress, and on Monday, Oct. 1, the law, medical and other professional departments will open. The outlook for a large enrollment is bright, notwithstanding the large number of the regular enrollment of students who have enlisted for the war. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 29, 1917 V Brims Are Now Quite the Thing THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" WAS PRESENTED BY THE ORIGINAL ACTOR, MARY MAY, IN A MUSICAL BY JOHN M. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN M. HARRIS, WITH A DIRECTOR, JOHN M. HARRIS. THE FILM WAS RELEASED BY MAYFIELD PICTURES. For Evening Wear Is This Handsome Cape A. BLACK velvet crown, white velvet brim slit in front to give A V and a unique bow of gross grain ribbon make this stunning semi-dress hat. What gives the chic is the wide span of unrestricted cushion feathers that follow the lines of the brim. A novelty of the moment in Paris is the scarf, a thing to wind around the throat and let fly over one shoulder, while the other is held down in front by a fold. It may be in satin or silk, in velvet or in knitted silk or wool. It looks very well on a tailor made and is both useful and smart to see. It can For Evening Wear Is TAILLESS ermine is this beautiful rionoce, although the tails have been lavished on the melon muff so fastidiously lined with indestructible voile. Giving an elegant contrast is the wide cuffs and collar of kolinsky fur, surely a beautiful garment for the fair. The humbler class of negligees, though not the humblest, include many good models in allatress, chinia silk and the tub stuffs, and in this class there are many delightful things with a considerable degree of picturesqueness of their own. School frocks for young girls are of dark blue mohair with plaited skirts and tunic, the latter embellished by a little hand embroidery done with colored silks. Such frocks have collar, cuffs and sasin of soft silk, and some ENTERE be in color or in black and white or e else gray, but occasionally one sees vivid emerald green, royal blue and cherry color. Beads give a light touch to the neck of a dark gown, and, although they do not soften a hard line so well as a lace or lingerie frill, they are excellent war substitutes. A touch of amber on a brown dress, turquoise or laps on dark blue, pale shade on black or dark green, scarlet on black or gray and all the many lovely between shades lift a dull toned dress from monotony. ANNA MAY. This Handsome Cape times the sash ends are embroidered to match the frock. Paris is wearing a good deal of mohair now, because serge over there is so hard to get, and when Paris wears mohair its vogue is assured here. Sometimes plaid silk is combined with mohair in very attractive manner. Bowlie ornaments of fur trim many smart hats. One hat with a brim of Hudson seal has one of these ornaments in seal and ermine, making a pleasing color and fabric combination. High stocks and jabots will return to popularity with cool days. It is hardly to be expected this type of neckwear can be popular in swettering weather, but the new autumn suits will make high stocks necessary in many cases. ANNA MAY. DIT'S 35 Fall Furs Are Most Beautiful Have You a Smart New Vest Too? THE WORLD'S FINEST ACTRESS THE furriers have dyed every old skin that they could lay hands on, and there is not a rabbit or an even alley cat that doesn't tremble these days for its petry. But still the demand for something new persistently continues, so since there are no new skins they have turned their attention to the insides and have given them the "something different" treatment. Here the designer has taken will-o' the-wisp, that fascinating sheer stuff whose beauty is so baffling to describe. Gaudy as a butterfly's wing and quite Have You a Smar WORK with a gray tweed suit is this swagger vest of mary blue silk polka dot. The revers are faced with white silk which throws into prominence the two huge white pearl buttons. Semi-tailored sailors are one of the new millinery fads. The employment of two different colors and, as often as not, two different materials is a marked feature of new designs, especially in plain and checked zephyrs for house wear. Among th YEAR as colorful, it has the wearing powers of iron, which makes it ideal for a lining, in a brown that harmonizes with the skunk colorings of the fur. It is lightened by the creamy jussy wiltow satin, which has been used to back it. But this is not all. It is tucked and tuffed and gathered into a clever rosette with a center, from which dangle tiny, budlike appendages of the will-o'wisp wipped in yellow. It is so new and so unusual that Elizabeth Risdon is eager that you should see it. t New Vest Too? these a gray and cherry scheme has much to recommend it. The plain material appears as deep yoke and sleeves, both of which are attached by the aid of narrow beading to the check zephyr that forms the rest of the jumper save for its deep, plain, upturned hem and the suggestion of outline that calls attention to the ubiquitous pockets. The chenase frock is as fashionable as when it first appeared. ANNA MAY. AUGUS MME. C. H.
