"Great things have been done by our boys over seas," he said, "and soon they will be coming home, coming home as American citizens. We are ALL American citizens. We are ALL American citizens. We will be tested by his worth and achievements and not by his physical size, not by his color. We are American citizens, all of us striving for some purpose, living under the same flag. What wonderful moment. Behold this little ophan girl, who has worked her way to the top. Hold her wonderful achievement! She took advantage of the opportunity, and did not sit down. Through her zeal, push, training and Christian day a living example of what opportunity will do if properly used by a trained mind." Dr. W. Samson Brooks, of Baltimore, who was the principal speaker, told of the union of the two givat minds, and of his first visit to the United States, the fact that they opened their business with prayer. "A people who pray and trust God will succeed," he said, and therefore we are all proud of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. There are three kinds of people in this world—producers, distributors, and consumers. The must be among the producers. He must put Brain in his products. Brain power guides the world, and if the Afro-American would be among the rulers, he must put brains into his work. Brain power will make the world baw at your feet.

She was a kind person, the word she gave to every appended to her. A striking example of bravery and driving home a thought, was demonstrated in the address of Prof. A. E.

This is a great hall for us, because these are reconstruction times." Mine. Anita Patti Brown followed with another fine selection. Thanksgiving there were many intercourse figures as at "Poro." It opened with services in the auditorium, presided over by Mrs. Malone. In fact this was the service that she seemingly entered into with her whole soul and heart. She had many things for which she was thankful, she said, among them being "an opportunity to meet with her," and it was a source of pleasure all the time. She read a scripture lesson in-keeping, with the occasion. Each employee and Poro agent had something to say, and it was surprisingly interesting to hear the stories told by her, who had been teaching school, had had "Poro" because—they could serve. Carey B. Lewis, the genial managing editor of the Chicago Defender, spoke. To him no meeting meant so much, he said. Editor George L. Knox also made a speech on "thanksgiving, Its What It Meant to the American People." It was a practical address. Newspaper Mcn Meet. The newspaper men attending the New Poro College - opening held a meeting in the afternoon, which was followed by a "smoker" and a visit to the various newspapers of the city under the escort of the local newspapers. Editor Harry C. Smith was chief editor of his confessors, and presided. Editor Abbott spoke on "Newspaper Making." Others followed him with singularly able addresses. The meeting was also addressed by Prof. A. E. Malone, who said that he was indeed to have the members of the press see and hear that they might tell their readers from their own viewpoint and not from his. He had a desire to serve his people, and stood ready to do anything in his power to that end. "I invited you because I wanted you to be here. This invitation you not to be here," he said. They found this to be the case, too Special. Thanksgiving dinner was served to all the visitors. A large crowd filled the auditorium and corridors, Thursday evening. It was necessary to have an overflow meeting in the dining room. Prof. David Gordon, principal of one. Rev. Lois L. Lee schools, presided. Rev. Mr. Searcy, assistant principal of the university and was followed by a selection by the Summer School Choral club. The "Michigan Nightingale," Mrs. Florence Colo-Talbert of Detroit, highly entertained the audience. Her voice routine. She is the winner of a diamond award. The Chicago Musical College and the Chicago voted her another when she had finished. She sang, "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark" and the aria "Je Suis Titania," from Mignon. It was the crowning point of the evening. The teacher was the winner. Editor Nelson Crews of Kansas was a splendid effort by one of our best speakers and was most enthusiastically received. He maintained his reputation. Mr. Crews paid a high tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Malone for a contribution to the race. "I was told to write with me a white flag when I left home," he said. "White flags mean surrender and I did not feel that I needed one because I thought Kansas City led them all, but since I have been here and have seen this magnificent structure and Mrs. Malone. This is a great building, and we rejoice with you because of it. St. Louis Afro-Americans lead the world!" Captain Robert A. Byrd, of Springfield, a former Ohio, was the next speaker. He, like all the others, had many good friends and loved him and Mrs. Malone, and desired that the race could not say too much in praise of them and their great accomplishment. Dr. J. T. Caston, representing our local Business League, also spoke. The members of the Chicago Musical College and Mrs. Malone andEditor Abbott followed the Doctor and Editor W. E. King read the following resolution unanimously adopted by the newspaper men: Continued on Page Four.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1915. REAL RACE PHILANTHROPISTS That is just what Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone of St. Louis, Mo., are. They have erected a wonderful plant and purpose that much of it shall be devoted to the benefit of the race. They have given thousands of dollars to our charitable institutions and worthy needy organizations and individuals of that city and still persist in their philanthropic stand that "money is to be used and not kept," at least all beyond their personal need, which they have limited. They are really and truly a Christian couple worthy of the highest commendation and regard. Five thousand dollars to our St. Louis Y. M. C. A.; one thousand to the Bundy defense fund; the purchase of a brick residence, the home of an aged couple of the race, who were about to lose it, in which the old people are installed for life, and many other acts of a similar nature that speak for Mr. and Mrs. Malone louder and better than all the words that could be employed by a literary artist, are citations that must carry conviction. May God continue to bless and strengthen them in their work and in their latest effort to "erancipate the young intelligent women of the race from the kitchens of St. Louis white people." Prof. and Mrs. Malone, "The Old Reliable" Gazette salutes you and would duplicate the "Chautauqua salute" we gave you, last week, Friday evening, had we the splendid audience presided over in the beautiful new Poro College building. WHO IS OUR LEADER? Many persons are asking who is the leader of our people? Some have designated their choice while others are still grouping about in the dark hunting one. There has never been and never will be a leader of the colored people. Frederick Doughlass was the leader in the emancipation struggle. After it ended, his mission ended, but in the sphere of human rights he is among the foremost in the world's history. Booker T. Washington was acclaimed the leader by many of his enthusiastic followers, but the race, as such, never accepted him as such. Many persons desiring to help the race centered their resources at the hands of Mr. Washington and through him these could be received. Many persons have hailed the editor of the Crisis as the one fearless and the compromising champion of the rights of our people but there are very many who bitterly opposed him and never accepted his leadership. Since the Editors' Conference at Washington, D. C., in June, has been said to displace him in the confidence of those who once implicitly trusted his leadership. To his tacit agreement to enter the war service, which meant the closing of his mouth on many vital issues effecting the race, the colored world has said "And Thou Too, Brutus." It is well for all to recognize now that no one man can embody in himself the qualities that will make him the accepted leader of twelve millions of any people. Solidity in religious creeds, habits and thoughts has been the great draw back to our race. There must be beacon lights who must lead in chosen spheres and in their spheres all men will honor them. Booker Washington was the leader in industrial education, the chief. DuBois WAS considered a leader in the equal rights effort for our folk but unfortunately there has arisen a question even as to this now. What the race needs most now is a fearless leader in civil and political rights effort. This leader must demand every right for the race that the most favored race enjoys. The ballot must be given to all of our people upon the same terms as all other races have it in America. Our civil rights must be as inviolable in Georgia as in New York and no person allowed to feel that he can abrogate any of our rights without there being visited upon him summary and severe punishment. That portion of the country, the South, which has been and is the great offender in this respect must be made to know that it cannot do so any longer. The destruction of our rights, like the enshrement of the person, cannot be tolerated anywhere on the American continent. This leader, who will bring this about, will merit his place along side of George Washington, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and the other great deliverers of races from oppression. This leader cannot do this work and remain in the South. Like Douglass, if he is there, he must escape to free soil, where the rope is not so handy. The apologist for the iniquities of the South cannot be heard now. He is a traitor to the race who because of position conferred, or money given him, will close his mouth. He is a traitor to our boys who have given their lives, who ask them to not insist upon every military honor that the government confers upon their station. He is a traitor to the race who says to our soldier that he must not insist upon exercising the same rights that white soldiers have. This doctrine of surrendering rights now, is undemocratic and unmanly. To say to our civilians now to not ask and demand the same rights that white Americans demand, is to ask them to be puppets and cowardly slaves. To say to the South that we are satisfied with "jim-crowism," brutal treatment and color-line government, is to believe our own decent selves. We say now to all political parties that we demand of them to enthrone in America a government by party that is fair to all alike and will protect all alike and will use every gun of the nation to protect these rights even to the shedding of blood. Whoever aspires to leadership NOW must say to Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo that it is unjust to use the federal government to "jim-crow" the race that constitutes the only one hundred-percent. Americanism. Say to them that God, justice and their own shibboleth—democracy for the world—demand that no "jim-crow" cars be operated by this government. "Jim-crowism" is southernism, and "jim-crowism" is southernism, and real democracy our President and the Director-General of Railroads must choose! If they choose southernism, they must repudiate democracy. Upon this platform we stand and the gates of hell will not move us. DOINGS OF THE RACE Nine more Afro-American army chaplains were appointed late last month. Major J. E. Spingarn is in France near some of our soldiers, but is not stationed among them. Rev. J. H. Dorsey, priest, of Baltimore, Md., has opened his campaign of raise $10,000 for the colored Catholic orphans of that city. Dr. H. B. Delaney was consecrated as Suffragan Bishop of the P. E. diocese of North Carolina, recently, at Raleigh, N. C. Representatives of our people will visit in Pakistan, D. C., next week, to collect delegates to the World's Peace Conference. The U. S. Division of Films has issued a two-reel moving picture, "Our Colored Fighters," which shows our boys at cantonments and in action overseas. One of our officers in France, Corp. C. H. Drysdale, was refused refreshments (food) in (American) Y. M. C. A. restaurants at Tours and Dijon, France. Bern Williams is in vaudeville for several weeks prior to going to Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic atop the New Amsterdam Roof, N. Y. City. He is at the Palace theater, that city, this week. The president has sent Principal R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., to France on a secret mission," we learn from splendid authority. Lester A. Walton of N. Y. City has gone with him as his secretary. Lieut. Brandon Finney (white) 25th U. S. Infot., shot serpent. Wm. J. White of Co. F, same regiment, in the back and killed him because the latter saluted Finney with a cigaret in his mouth. The lieutenant is awaiting trial by court-martial on a charge of murder, at Nogales, Ariz. Beauregard Rosely, Esq, has amended that the court tag day among our people resulted in a collection of $723.51 for use in providing a defense for D. Leroy N. Bundy, dentist, on trial at Waterloo, Ill., for alleged participation in the East St. Louis riots of July, 1917—Chicago Idea Fifty-five Y. M. C. A. centers are conducted in cantonments among troops in America which are presided over by 282 colored secretaries. Fourteen additional secretaries are serving Student Army Training Corps units in our colleges. There are forty-nine serving overseas, making a grand total of 331 colored "Y" secretaries doing war work. Only three colored women have been assigned to go to France as canteen workers in Y. M. C. A. huts. Not less than one hundred are needed to look after the thousands of colored troopers as no white canteen worker can. Less than fifty colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries have been sent overseas. There ought to be many many more. We ask Dr. John R. Matt and his associates why is not a real democracy established in the Y. M. C. A.? - N. Y. Age. BEST FOR THE BLOOD — Pure Herbs.

Mrs. Ma- lone, using also the following verse: ee ere ee eee ee Joyful tidings to us bring, We receive you with glad hearts, And praises for you sing. “The employes of Poro College ‘Wish to mingle their voices today Along with all these numbers great; All hail! All hail this happy day.

I try to make every one around me feel like we are all one family. From time to time they have done little things for me, but never before have I been so completely surprised. We did not have the slightest idea that they were thinking of us in this way. I assure you that I thank you all.” Two hundred people attended the Reaeyite evening overflow meet- ing in the dining room, also addressed by Mr. Crews, after finishing his ooh in the auditorium. Hon. Harry - Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, ‘who has served three terms (six years) in the Ohio legislature, was the principal speaker. He said: “The presence of so many editors of race Perens is a distinct compli- ment to f, and Mrs. Malone, who are conducting what is generally con- ceded to be the greatest race busi- ness enterprise to date. He referred fo the fifty-six colored teachers’ in the mixed schools of the city of Cleveland as possibly the most en- couraging thing of a racial nature for that city, and cited the enactment ot Ohio's Civil Rights Law and Anti- Lynching Law, the killing of a vic- iously harmful anti-intermarriage bill and the barring of the infamous photo play, “The Birth of a Nation,” from the state, three years ago and again two months ao, as the most distine- tive racial successes of recent years in the state of Ohio.” Editor Smith's address was most enthusiastically re- ceived and drew from Editor Crews and others strong words of commen- dation. Friday morning there was another session of the press representa- tives, pe over by Editor Harry ©. Smith, chairman. ‘There Were many things discussed by these men who hold, at least in pait, the destiny of the race in their hands. ‘They are “the makers of sentiment and the defenders of the race.” Reso- lutions were adopted pledging support to Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, whose life is being sought and whose freedom: is in qorparays ‘and urging our newspapers to be as generous as possible in ‘heir notice of the weck’s festivities, etc., here. It was impossible to get in the auditorium or the building after & p. m., for every available space was crowded and the building had to be closed. Fully 8,000 people entered it during the day.’ The good citizens of St. Louis, East St. Louis, in fact ali the surrounding towns, came to sec the largest business enterprise of the race and all races were represented in the throng. Hon. Harry C. Smith of Ohio presided at the grand audi- torium meeting, in the evening. Th» floor and gallety were packed. Mr Smith made an opening address on “Race Pate He said that the race had reached the place where it shou'dl feel and demonstrate its oneness. “This building, is a building for the whole race, and when we talk about what we as a race have accomplished, we must point to it, too. We can take a splendid lesson from the Jew. ‘Pouch one and the whole Jewish pop- nnlation is concerned, and so it must ‘be with us.” He urged country-wide “aupport of, Dr, Leroy N.. Bundy,, in ig and sad we should all get be. hind him because he is a member cf ‘the race who is being persecuted by evil Sipe East St. Louis whites. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, was the Soloist of the evening. and the prin cipal speaker was Bishop L. J. Cop- pin, of the A.M. E. Church. He was ‘Accompanied by Dr. W. H. Peck, pas- ‘of St. James church. Bishop Cop- spoke as never before, and his ‘a drove home many practical ‘Points to the whole race. He com- ‘mended Mr. and Mrs. Malone for the ‘great business monument they had erected and spoke in terms of praise ‘of Mrs, Malone, “an inventor,” having iyen fo the world something which elped women to improve themselve He spoke of some of the race who ha: @eclared that they were satisfied at being “as God had made them,” cs- pecially with their hair. It was in the plan of the Almighty that man should improve. He has continued to improve the earth, and the beautiful new Poro building was a practical demonstration of it. ‘The race on top was the one to be emulated. He gave many illustrations to back up his ar~ gument which was fine, unique and telling. Editor Smith ’ then intia~ duced the following for “a five minute speech,” each: J. Anthony Josey of Madison, Wis.;" ‘Ormond Focte of Cleveland; J. i. Thompson of Des Moines, Ia., and J. Findlay Wilson of Washington, D.C. The dramatic in- cident of the week's festivities, came next. Prof. and Mrs, Malone were presented a pretty basket-louquet by our St. Louis Orphans’ Home imnetes, Dr. Wim. L. Perry, former Cleveland gt making the presentation, speech, To this Prof. Malone responded. He said they were but God's stewards, and his success was but God putting within his reach means to help the orphans and the old people, and the first money realized in the auditorium should be for the orphans. This ix what he and his wife had decided and it would be done. He was deeply “touched” as a result of the gift. tears coming to his eves, He told how he and his wife, both orphans at the age of two years, know full well how to extend to orphan children ma- teria! sympathy, and. their success was but means placed in their hands to do more for the unfortunate. He wanted to be able to do more for the old people and the children alone in the world. As he spoke of the chil- dven, alone in the world, he wept like a child, and there were many in the audience who joined with him, ‘There | were many strong addresses delivered in the dining rocm cverfow meeting. of nearly 200.

What has been is, what will be must be the work of concentrated opinion toward furthering the great thought that our president has voiced—making the world safe for democracy—and to do this we must make America safe for all American citizens. If there ever was a time when we needed to elimi- nate the class of our people who are willing to wear a collar and believe in segregation and submission, it is NOW! We have done all they’asked us in this world war and now in the time of terms let America accord to the Afro-American the rights of MEN, and let America take her place with other great world-powers in giv- ing the dark races credit for their part in upholding right. Let us be ranked on the basis of ability and ef- ficiency, and not on color, James L. Usher presided at the meeting, Satur- day evening, and the soloist was John W. Evans. “Editor George W. Harris delivered the speech of the occasion. He said that he came to see the great building and like the Queen of Sheba he was ready to say that the half had not been told.
