Conference Dayton Branch to Open Drive Vol 7 Number 3 BRITISH DOMINION Remarkable photograph of the reeve N. A. A. C. P. Dayton Branch The N. A. A. C. P. is holding its annual conference in Cleveland beginning Saturday, 21st inst., and lasting the entire week following. Delegates from Dayton will attend. This conference promises to be a very informing one, especially to branches of the Lake District, in which is Dayton. Much of the success of the work will be told; and this success is solid of its kind and helpful to every blessed Negro in the United States. Inspiration, encouragement, determination to keep up this sociological effort will surely be gained by those attending. The best and noblest of the whites will be there, spending time and money freely in order to further the success of this great national battle. Surely Dayton Branch exults in spirit to imagine the great good possible here if only our people will cling together and work together amicably toward this end. Not hoping that all things be won at one throw of the dice, but working steadily, hopefully, and determinedly year by year until the consummation of our desire is reached. There is a well-proved maxim: Patience and perseverance overcome mountains. Let us be patient and persevere in the good work of racial social and economic emancipation however slow the progress may seem however bitter the struggle may grow Our yearly campaign will soon be on. A great drive for 900 members will be begun. The indefatigable and eminent Dr. B. A. Rose is the manager of this notable movement, and he will soon call upon you personally or through lieutenants to enlist. The date when the campaign begins is July 1, and Dayton will do herself proud by sending to the general office 900 names as members of the Dayton Branch. "He who will be free himself must strike the blow." Let us get together as one, so that blow may be decisive.

So goes the talk about the big union Sunday-school picnic at Hills and Dales, Friday, June 27. I hear the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of eager feet—little feet, big feet, white-shod feet, brown-shod feet and black-shod, all moving toward the happy picnic grounds. The whole family of all the families—everybody there. The event of the summer. Music, speaking, baseball, tennis, croquet, quoits, swinging, teeter-tottering, wading, and numerous special features, including pageants, displays, and amusing stunts. All this for nothing! It is as Lowell says it: "No price is set on the lavish summer. June may be had by the poorest conner. * * * * * And what is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever come perfect days; Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays." Do you remember the real picnic spirit Catch it. Be happy yourself, and, best of all, make some one else happy.

Wants "Full Liberty" for Colored Americans Dr. Emmett Scott Delivers Annual Address to Vast Audience and Graduates Dayton Students Take Prominent Part in Exercises. Wilberforce, Ohio, June 13.—Amid imposing ceremonies consecrated by the entire-bench of bishops, the fifty-sixth annual commencement of Wilberforce University closed during the past week with a blaze of glory. From those who have attended the exercises continually for a number of years, it was said that these exercises overshadowed any held since the foundation of the institution. The program was attended by thousands coming from miles around. Their coming was peculiarly significant from that of former years in that it was by automobiles and taxis rather than by buggies and carriages. Emmett Scott Speaks Emmett J. Smott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, delivered the commencement address. He was introduced by Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce, in a befitting style. The doctor, after paying great deference to the ability of Mr. Scott, lauding him for the exceptional work for his race and his country, closed his remarks by making known so the country that Dr. Scott had been tendered the distinguished honor, and accepted it, of secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.C. It was from Wilberforce that Dr. Scott received a degree some two years ago. DENOUCES Lynching Dr. Scott spoke on the subject of "Democracy and Education." In the opening of his remarks he paid high tribute to the founders of Methodism, giving due credit to Bishops Allen, Payne, Jones, and Lee, and the late President Mitchell, who played important parts in perpetuating the life of the institution. The speaker, after making an appeal for more support to Wilberforce, emphasized that the end of all education was service to mankind. He denounced in no uncertain terms lynching, inequalities and disfranchisements. The school has exhibits and demonstrations by the students. In the gymnasium there were exhibits in architectural design, mechanical drawing, carpentry, construction, blacksmithing, wagon building, auto mechanics, machine shop work, plumbing, steamfitting, printing and scientific agriculture. There was dressmaking, millinery, and cooking for girls displayed. The work this year according to Dr. Scarborough, was thorough in every department and satisfactory to the trustee board. "Daniel," a cantata under the direction of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the world's great elocutionist, was the finest of its kind ever heard at the school. Honorary Degrees Honorary degrees were awarded to S. A. T. Watkins, LL.D., Chicago, Ill.; Reverdy Ransom, LL.D., New York City; D. W. G. Pearson, principal of Whittier School, Durham, N. C., M. A.; Rev. Joseph Jarvis, Monesen, Pa., M. A.; Nimrod Allen, Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Columbus, Ohio; A. L. Jackson, executive secretary, Chicago, Ill., M. A. The bishops attending the commencement were B. F. Lee, Evans Tyrese, Flipper, Joshua Jones, Hurst, Heard, Connor, Parks, Coppin, Smith, Beckett, and J. Albert Johnson. Prizes in oratory were won by S. M. Campbell, Lindelle Ridley, and Willie Mae King. Wednesday evening the cantata "Daniel" was rendered by the choral society. This was one of the principle attractions of commencement week and long before the curtains were raised Galloway Hall was packed with an enthusiastic audience. The costumes were the most gorgeous ever seen at the school, and the musical and literary talents displayed were marvellous, enchanting, and with all inspiring. Dayton feels proud of the part its sons and daughters took in the excellent rendition. John Wesley Arnold as "Daniel" was the star of the entertainment and sang as only John Arnold can sing. Miss Ethel Probst also took a prominent part in the rendition, as well as Lindelle-Ridley and Miss Marjorie Collins. Misses Viola Lawnhorn and Eliza A. Robinson, Dayton girls, also won distinction at the school this year, both receiving certificates of graduation. ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people.

Trotter of Boston, secretary of the National Equal Rights —League, has presented every member of the Peace Conference a petition from colored citizens of America asking that a clause assuring all citizens "full liberty in the rights of democracy and protection of life without distinction based on race, color or previous conditions" be inserted in the covenant of the League of Nations. The above Associated Press dispatch speaks volumes. It vindicates the position of Mr. Trotter who tried to have Race delegates sent to the Peace Conference to agitate for Race Rights. He was opposed by other newspapers on the grounds such a move would be useless as Colored men would never get before the Peace Conference. It is a master stroke on the part of Mr. Trotter because as far as can be learned no Colored man (or white) ever presented the Colored American's cause to the great statesmen of the world. Dr. DuBois, Ralph Tyler, Emmett J. Scott, R. R. Moton, Roscoe Simmons all went to Paris and returned, but not one of them got in touch with the men who are making the world safe for democracy. It remained for Wm. Monroe Trotter, radical and agitator, uncompromising champion of Absolute Equality for the Black Man, whose organization was refused-passports by the State Department, to go to Paris and show up the hypocrisy of America. How he ever reached Paris is a mystery—but he is there and the world knows that one-tenth of America do not receive one-tenth of that Democracy President Wilson is demanding for the world. All honor to William Monroe Trotter! Mr. Trotter was at one time a wealthy man. He spent that wealth fighting for the race. He had a beautiful and noble wife—she forsook her social position in Boston and gave her life helping him fight for the Race. He is a poor man now and alone all because of his zeal in behalf of Colored America. He was arrested and cast in jail because he fought and opposed Dr. Bocker T. Washington—not the educational theories of Washington, but the insidious teachings that urged the Black Man to forsake the ballot, to give up his manhood rights, to accept less than full Americanism, to "keep his place." Time will prove Trotter right and Washington wrong. Trotter was ordered from the White House because he dared remind President Wilson of his promise to deal square with the Black Man. And now he again proves his leadership by getting before the great men of the world the greatest gathering in the history of the world, the appeal of Colored Americans for "full liberty." For a real share in democracy and for absolute equality. How he got there the dispatch does not say; what the Peace Conference will do is unknown but the fact remains that THEY KNOW that Americans cant on Democracy is Hypocrisy! All honor to Wiliam Monroe Trotter!—Louisville News. AMERICAN WOODMEN NOTES By Agnes P. Hampton Lillard The captains of the various clubs are requested to make weekly reports to the chairman of the membership committee. Every member of the camp is expected to be in camp Monday evening, June 23rd. Very important business to transact. It would be well for every one to stand to their own post. To be guided by opinions of others, does not bring forth the real dignity that it takes to be an American Woodman. To be an American Woodman not only in name, but especially in deed. Leadership is wonderful, but we all can't be leaders. Somebody must follow. And the one that can stand on their dignity and follow shoulder to shoulder with their leaders in intellect and brain, is an accomplishment to be proud of. To be a good follower is better, for we have so many leaders. Where are the followers? To profit by a mistake that is made sometimes opens the way to higher and greater things. Over the top we must go one hundred strong, in our membership campaign. “BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCK NOTES Sanday school, 9:30 a.m, ming services, 11:00 a.m. BY. P..U,, 6:30 pm.

The vicar explained the térm “Trinity” as a term called scholastic, and applied to, the special work of God as Father“and Creator, Jesus Christ as Son of God and Re- deemer, and the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of God, in the conscience of man urging him to good works. “Trinity” may° be observed in many of the characters. of nature—~animate nature as well as inanimate nature. ‘All men are affected fundamentally by & trinity of relationship—hiniself, his surrounding, his goal. The home may be said to be upon the same trin- itarian plan—parents, children, con- dition, goal. The goal may be happi- ness or wretchedness, God-ward or hell-ward. ‘The praying man or wo- man is a trinity in that the soul, the desire, the Giver are involved as dis: tinfet and fundamental facts. Trinity pervades life more fundamentally than ‘one generally thinks, The most im- portant trinity is that of the Godhead Human life and salvation inhere ir this, And it is a remarkable fact, es. pecially to people of African descent that this idea of Trinity is ¢ purely African idea, taken over into and gladly adopted by Chrisitan scholars of ancient times, and yet regarded of prime importance today not as a nec. essary thing in salvation but in the philosophic understanding of basic re. ligious thought.” The vicar explained the colors of Trinity as being of green symbolising the creation of natural phenomenon, ‘The equilateral triangl was also pointed to as a symbol of thy equal divinity 6f each person of th Godhead. “Trinity” ends. the con templation of Christ as Redeemer o: the world and begins the consideratior of the divine creation of God as Fa ther of the world. ‘The Discussion Class will.meet or ‘Tuesday evening at 8:80 o'clock.
