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. Our doctors have promised to be present as a medical corps to render service to any illness or injury that may occur in the midst of the vast throng. The Red Cross ladies are also expected. The Y. W.

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. Middletown Middletown The Hampton Trio rendered a nice program to the 1919 Senior Class of the M. H. S. (white) who assembled at the home of Mr. H. L. Brooks, superintendent of the Wardlow and Thomas Paper Co., on South Vandeveer Street. The program was pleasant to all, and Mr. Hampton repeatedly responded with encores to the delight of his hearers. We have just recently organized and can take care of any kind of job in the musical line. We play and sing for all occasions. The Middletown Colored Band created quite a sensation in Hamilton and also Coake Otto where they played for the colored Masons who held heir annual hanksgiving sermon in Coake Otto. The boys rendered music that would please a queen. Their ability as musicians is proven by the fact of their securing two jobs at the county seat. Our rates are reasonable. If it's good music you want, don't fail to write to E. T. Banks, 213 E. 10th St., Middletown, Ohio. We play for all occasions. A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Sunday is the big day at this church when all of the circle leaders are expecting to go over the top in the $1000 rally. Rally enthusiasm is at its highest pitch, and everybody is keyed up to the highest notch, and success is evident. Mrs. L. Canady's entertainment given last Tuesday night in the interest of her circle, was a grand success in every possible feature. Every number rendered was a good one, but there is special mention due Miss Mamie Banks, whose recitations from Dunbar were the best that have ever been given here. Mrs. S. Overman's little girl was another success singing, "I am glad I can make you cry," which caused the house to break into a storm of laughter. Herber McBain scored a hit with his violin both in his solo and as an accompanist to Miss Mamie Banks, which was pleasing to the large crowd assembled. The choir also rendered excellent music. Mrs. Canady went over the top on her quota which was one hundred dollars. MARCOS FIRST TO BEAT COCA-COLAS Williams in Great Form, Sending Twelve Opponents to Bench The Coca-Colas lost to the Marcos yesterday afternoon at Westwood field by the score of 5 to 2, and incidentally lost their first game of the season. A record crowd was on hand and both sides had their share of the fun out of the game, which was full of exciting plays from start to finish. Poor fielding at critical times by both clubs was partly responsible for the runs scored. In the Marcos' half of the first after two were down, Brown single- and scored when Moore misjudge Taylor's line drive to center for three bases and Eggleston ended the inning by popping to right. rom the first to the fifth inning everything was nip and tuck, both sides being retired irdoer. In the Cocoa-Colas' half of this inning, Kellner led off with a single and Sheehy sacrificed him to second, Jones then got on through an error at short and advanced to second. Hetzel sacrificed and Kellner scored. Horney hit and Jones scored Schmieding ended this round by taking three healthy swings. In the seventh the Marcos put the game on ice with a volley of hits connected with several errors on the part of the Coca-Colas, and from that time on were never in danger. Taylor led off with his second hit of the game and was safe at second when Harman erred on a throw from Jones Taylor scored on a hit by Eggleston and Watts was out sacrificing Eggleston. Alexander hit, scoring Eggleston, and stole second only to score a minute later when Cross heaved Dock's roller into the great beyond. Dock advancing to second. Williams was out on a fly to center and Dock scored on Hill's second hit of the game. Dewitt was out at short to first, ending the Marcos marathon "Stringbean" Williams was in good form and with the exception of the fifth round was the master all the way. The big boy sent 12 of the Coca-Colas back to the bench by the strikeout route. Jones pitched a creditable game for the Coca-Colas and with better support in the field stood a fair chance of winning his game. The score: Coca-Colas ..... 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0—2 Marcos ..... 1 0 0 0 0 4 0 *—5 Errors—Harman, Cross, Dewitt Taylor. Three-base hit—Taylor. Stolen bases—Hetzel, Hill, Brown, Taylor, Alexander. Double plays—Jones to Kellner; Hegman to Schmieding. Stuck out—By Jones, 7; by Williams, 12. Base on balls—Off Williams, 1.

Third Street, will be cheerfully arranged, and equipped with an excellent pocket-billiard table, checker tables, a victrola, moving-picture machine, piano, and reading table. Another room will be equipped for a clug room, where committees from the various organizations of the city can hold their meetings, and where meetings of the Hi-Y Club can meet. The rooms will be open to the public not later than July 1. The Y. M. C. A. will be in charge of the baseball games for the Union Sunday-school picnic, at the request of the Committee on Arrangements.

The following regulations will be observed: Only boys who are bona fide members of their respective Sunday schools will be allowed to participate in the games. No boys over sixteen years of age will be permitted to play without the consent of the opposing team. --- There was an unusually large attendance at the morning services last Sunday. There was as much spirit and feeling displayed as at a revival: The pastor chose as his subject, "A Friend Seeking a Friend but Always Too Late to Find Him." Rev. Smith delivered the annual sermon of the Knights of Tabor, Sunday afternoon. The meeting was largely attended. The pastor attended a meeting of the ministers at the Chamber of Commerce last Thursday evening. The meeting was held under the auspices of the War Camp Community Service. The problems confronting the church due to the returned oldier and changed conditions were discussed and various plans were suggested, which, it was hoped, would overcome the difficulties. The different ministers told of the experiences they had undergone in their respective churches and the means which they had taken to most effectively meet the situation. Mr. Parson, head executive of the local War Camp Community Service, will appear before the Ministerial Alliance and undertake to devise a plan whereby the churches may co-operate and act in unison in this matter. The play, "Trouble in Turkey Trot Church," was repeated at Bethel Baptist Church last Thursday. The play was an unqualified success, and all who attended were more than pleased at the ability displayed by the members of the cast. The Masons will celebrate St. John's day at Allen A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon. All are invited to attend. The evening services Sunday will consist of a short talk by the pastor and a song service by the choir. A new singer of exceptional ability will be in the choir and will render several solos. Miss Mary G. Evans, the famous evangelist, will attend the morning services Sunday. Owing to her recent illness, Miss Evans will be presented from delivering a sermon, but he will give a short talk and greet her friends and converts. The rally will be continued the first Sunday in July. The first Sunday of the rally was very successful, but a large amount remains to be raised. Efforts are now being made to secure more votes, and all the members and friends are urged to give to the best of their ability. All are invited to attend the services Sunday. WEIGH MANY BABIES Tests Held in 16,811 Communities During Campaign. Washington.—Weighing and measuring tests of children were held in 18,811 communities during the children's-year campaign instituted by the children's bureau to reduce the infant mortality rate. To this total should be added many records coming from rural sections not listed as post offices. One-third of the total communities having post offices in the United States held tests. Illinois had the greatest number of cities and towns participating in the campaign—1,261. Wisconsin led in the actual number of cities weighed and measured, as already announced, but the records came from 1,065 towns, ranking third in *in* that respect. Iowa was second in the number of communities—participating, having 1,212, and Ohio was fourth, with 944. Indiana came fifth, with 786. From far off Hawaii three cities—Honolulu, Kakukun and Tora—sent records.

ALIEN ENEMIES WORRY CANADA Returned Soldiers Protest Against Foreigners Filling Positions They Need. EXPECT FIGHT ON REPEAL War Times Election Act Repeal is Opposed—Educational Test May Be Made to Disfranchise Many of Teuton Origin. Toronto.—Despite the approach of normal peace when there will be no more "enemies," the alien enemy question is still far from settled in Canada. Controversy surges around two points; first: Is the alien enemy to be allowed to work? and, second: Is he to be allowed to vote? Conditions During War. When the war was on the alien enemy worked. There were many objections to it, but labor was so scarce that the alien enemy who could work was rarely interfered with. And he made big wages. Now labor is not so scarce, and the alien enemy's job is more precarious. It is not employers who are interfering with him, nor is it government authority. Pressure comes from the returned soldiers. When their verbal protests get no results or produce only formal assurances, which they know to be insincere, they have on occasion raided the factory, sometimes with surprising results. Then the alien enemy is really out of a job. As to the vote, the alien enemy lost his privilege during the war. Now the fight is as to whether it will be given back to him. The war times election act was based on the ground that the man who was not eligible to fight if needed wasn't eligible to vote, a rough and ready rule which served a purpose and it deliberately disfranchised all persons of alien enemy origin whether they had Canadian citizenship or not. Fight Expected on Repeal. Repeal of this act was expected to immediately follow the close of the war, but now the government is not anxious to refranchise a large voting population which is not likely to support the government that originally disfranchised it. The parties are lining up for a real old-time party scrap on the issue. The fight will come in parliament on the introduction of the franchise act promised for an early date. One proposal is that an educational test will be framed which will have the effect of disfranchising large numbers of former Canadian citizens of enemy origin. Even if they get the vote back many of the alien enemies are going to be out of a job. And they would infinitely prefer wartime conditions when they had no vote but had a good job. Not many German-born are affected, but there are several hundred thousand natives of the former Austrian empire in Canada. These cause the problem. DOGS AND CATS ARE KILLED German Civilians Interested in Concentration Camp in Australia Protested. Sydney, Australia.—The 600 German civilians interred in a concentration camp at Holdsworthy, near Sydney, recently killed all the dogs and cats in the compound in an attempt to compel the camp commandant to rescind an order temporarily stopping their supply of food and water. The Germans either ate the Australian pets or pretended to have done so. Anyway they raised the heads of the animals on plikes. The conflict arose over the arrest and confinement of two of the Germans for attempting to escape from the compound. The others went on strike to compel the commandant to release the two men, and when he cut off their food and water they killed the camp pets. Nine of the ringleaders were arrested and the demonstration ended when half rations were issued. TAP WILL BREAK HIS BONES Four-Year-Old Massachusetts Lad Suf- fers From Queer Malady— Otherwise Normal. Pittsfield, Mass.—Charles Furrer Jr. 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Furrer, broke his left thigh. He already has had 17 fractures of bones in the left leg and right arm.

Samuels-Belboder, Vicar Trinity Sunday was observed by the celebration of the Holy Communion at 7 and 11 a.m. The vicar explained the term "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 Redeemer, 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 a trinity of relationship—himself, his surrounding, his goal. The home may be said to be upon the same trinitarian plan—parents, children, condition, goal. The goal may be happiness or wretchedness, God-ward or hell-ward. The praying man or woman is a trinity in that the soul, the desire, the Giver are involved as distinct and fundamental facts. Trinity pervades life more fundamentally than one generally thinks. The most important trinity is that of the Godhead, Human life and salvation inhere in this. And it is a remarkable fact, especially to people of African descent, that this idea of Trinity is a purely African idea, taken over into and gladly adopted by Christian scholars of ancient times, and yet regarded of prime importance today not as a necessary thing in salvation but in the philosophic understanding of basic religious thought." The vicar explained the colors of Trinity as being of green symbolizing the creation of natural phenomenon. The equilateral triangle was also pointed to as a symbol of the equal divinity of each person of the Godhead. "Trinity" ends the contemplation of Christ as Redeemer of the world and begins the consideration of the divine creation of God as Father of the world. The Discussion Class will meet on Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The public is invited through the courtesy of St. Cecilia Guild. Please remember that the summer services are only two—one at 7 a.m. and the other at 11 a.m. The church school is at 10 a.m. WESLEYAN METHODIST Last Sunday, the attendance was very good to Sabbath school and also preaching services. The church was filled in the afternoon. Rev. Anderson delivered a beautiful sermon to members of the order of both men and women. Sunday, June 22, will be observed as Parents' day. The invitation is to all parents everywhere. This is something a little new to us; so let every one grasp the opportunity and get what there is in store for you. There will be something good for every one. Come also to the Sabbath school, June 29. The school will hold their quarterly convention at the church at 3:00 p.m. This promises to be the greatest convention we have held, with delegates from every school in the city. Also the superintendents will be present. All are welcome to come and enjoy the program. Mr. R. McGregor entertained the Brotherhood last Monday evening. On account of the inclement weather, the attendance was small, and those who were absent surely missed a great great. Mr. and Mrs. McGregor served a delicious lunch, and after turning them a vote of thanks for this kind hospitality, the meeting was adjourned. July 6, over the top we must go, and will go if we are earnest and faithful. It means earnest workers every day, and we believe we have that kind that work from past experiences. Let us not be discouraged but look ahead and keep working. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES When the reports were made, it was found that Zion had gone over the top again. Up to the present the rally has netted $15600.07. Others who were unable to get their contribution in, promise to do so, which will push it far above the present figure. Plans are under way to dedicate the church with appropriate ceremonies, at which time the mortgage will be burned. The Rally practically over, all energies will be turned toward the Every-member Canvass to ascertain the exact number of members in the church. Every member is asked to lend all assistance possible to the membership committee when they come by checking on the card every department in which they are interested. The baptizing last Sunday was very impressive and witnessed by a large audience. Supt. J. P. Jetton is attending the State Sunday-school Convention at Akron this week.
