GRAND LODGE MEETING Ohio District Grand Lodge No. G. U. O. O. F. M. H. Charles W. Price, Re-elected Grand Master GRAND LOD Ohio District No. G. U. Assembled in Urbana, Ohio, August 11, 12, 13, 14, in one of the largest meetings of its history. There are five branches of the order in Ohio, namely, the subordinate lodges, the Households of Ruth, the Grand Master Councils, Juveniles and Patriarchy, with a membership of nearly 6000. The various officers' reports show the order to be in a flourishing condition, with increases along all lines, having gained nearly 600 new members in the subordinate lodge department and more than 400 in the Household of Ruth. The financial gains were good. The insurance department paid out in the past year Charles W. Price, Re nearly $15,000.00, and has over $22, 000.00 cash balance on hands,—a gain of nearly $3,000.00 for this year. This department is a little over 10 years old and has paid to widows of deceased brothers in that time nearly $120,000.00. The Grand. Secretary's report showed that aside from the insurance department the subordinate lodges have paid nearly $16,000.00 this year for the relief of sick brothers, their widows and orphans. Crystal Palace Lodge of Dayton was the banner ledge in getting new members, having sent 168 applications to the medical director. The age average is the best in years for new members, being 31½ years. This lodge has over 300 members now and expects to have 500 by the next Grand Lodge meeting. Peace and harmony prevails throughout the state. There were no appeals or grievances. It is conceded that the order has made greater gains in the past two years than in any twenty-five years previous. On Monday evening, August 11, a grand reception was given in St. Paul A. M. E. Church to the Grand Officers and delegates by the local members and citizens. The mayor delivered the welcome address on behalf of the city, which was responded to by the State Grand Master, Chas. W. Price, of Dayton. Welcome on behalf of the Household of Ruth was given by Sister E. L. Otery and responded to by Grand Most Noble Governor, Sister Mamie Trotter of Cincinnati. A musical program was rendered and refreshments were served. On Tuesday morning joint-opening services were held at St. Paul Church by the Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Ruth, presided over by the Grand Master, after which the two brand bodies went into executive sessions, the Grand Lodge convened at the city building and the Grand Household at St. Paul Church. At the opening session the Grand Master appointed the various committees and the following grand officers: Rev. O. R. Williams, of Hamilton, Grand Chaplain; J. W.

A grand dress parade ended the program at the fair grounds. The finale was a grand ball at Moose Hall in the evening. Dayton is proud of five state officers. Our slogan is, join the Odd Fellows.

Each member is to invite as many guests as they would like. The guests were Mrs. Bessie Brown and Miss Green. Each gave such an inspiring and interesting talk. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Rosa Willis on Dakota street. DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY AUGUST 22, 1919 Mr. Rives: Here is a clipping of the last week's Labor Review, which clearly demonstrates how the White Public regards the defeat of the colored candidate. HOW WHITE RIOTER WORKED IN WASHING BANKS FAILS TO GET AS MANY VOTES AS SIGNERS TO PETITION Colored Men Did Not Support Candidate of Their Colort AMONG THE ASPIRANTS Special Interests, Creeds or Colors Don't Appear to Have Much of a Show With the Dayton Citizen at Election Time. Failure of E. T. Banks, colored Y. M. C. A. secretary, to poll as many votes as he had names on his petition, filed with the board of elections, when he qualified as a candidate for the nomination for city commissioner, is a matter of considerable interest. Something over 700 names were necessary for Mr. Banks to get his name on the ballots. In this list of names, no doubt, there were many of white persons, who were anxious to see Mr. Banks obtain some sort of recognition at the hands of voters. The interesting part of the matter, however, comes with the consideration of the oft-repeated statement that there are approximately 2500 colored voters in the city. That being true, then Mr. Banks with his total of 594 votes, shows that only a fraction more than 25 per cent of the people of his own race voted for him. Mr. Banks, as he indicated in some of his campaign literature, or that was put out in his behalf, is now and always has been a staunch supporter of the non-paristan commission-manager form of government Dayton enjoys. He has repeatedly claimed that the members of his race, being for the most part supporters of the plan, had not been sufficiently recognized in the way of getting city positions. Here was an opportunity, then, for the members of the negro race to have aided one of their number in getting recognition. Had all the colored people of the city—the estimated 2500 voters—supported Mr. Banks he would have been one of the four nominees who would come before the people at the November election. He would have polled a higher vote than either Mr. Farrel or Mr. Geisler, both of whom received less than that number. As it was, it is apparent the negro voters failed him, and gave little heed to his call for help. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The membership reception given by the membership committee of the Fifth street branch Y. W. C. A., at Zion Baptist Church, Monday evening, was largely attended by the members of the association and friends. A very interesting program was rendered. Mrs. Bertie Ellis acted as chairman. Invocation by Mrs. Emma Smith. Miss Ruth Jackson, secretary of the branch, very nicely explained the functions of the different committees and Miss Nettie Trimble, general secretary of the Central Y. W. C. A., gave very interesting remarks and told the secretary about the trustees, who are Atty. Stokes, Wm. H. Stewart, Dr. A. L. Biggs, Dr. B. A. Rose, Mrs. Mary Shaw, Mrs. Clara Avery and Mrs. Jennie Cox. Mrs. Shaw in her most pleasing manner told of the membership council which is to be organized Monday night at the Parish house. Musical selections were rendered by Miss Ruth Day, Mrs. Douglass, Miss Lavina Carey and Mr. Ralph Terry. All members are urged to attend the organization of the membership council at the Parish hall Thursday night at 8 p. m. Miss Ruth Moore, Girls' Work secretary, took the Red Division of the Rainbow Circle to camp, Monday. The girls are enjoying their camp life at Wilberforce. The work is progressing nicely on the building. We hope to open the middle of October. NOTE OF THANKS Mr. E. T. Banks desires to thank all who assisted him in his campaign of protest during the recent primaries. He repledges his allegiance to his race in its struggle upward and holds himself ready for any duty loking toward race betterment which may arise from time to time. HOW WHITE RIOTERS WORKED IN WASHINGTON The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the following affidavit duly sworn to before a notary by a reputable colored man who was dragged from a street car and brutally assaulted. The affidavit reads as follows: "Monday, July 21, 1919, I was returning to Washington after having been out of town since Friday, July 18, 1919. I arrived at the Union Station at 12 p. m., Monday night, and on entering the station noticed nothing unusual. I boarded a street car which went to Rockcreek Bridge via New Jersey avenue and got a transfer to the Brightwood car line. When I reached 7th and Florida avenue, N.W., the place of transfer, I noticed that things were as quiet as is usually the case at that hour of the night. I waited there about five minutes for the Brightwood car and when it came I and a Captain boarded it. I walked into the car and son noticed that I was the only member of my race present except a lady whom I noticed later but not at this time. As I started to get a vacant seat a soldier put his arm across me and said, 'Where are you going, nigger?' I said to him that I was going to get a seat. As I was telling him that I heard some others in the car saying, 'lynch him,' 'kill him,' 'throw him out of the window,' and at that time I was being grabbed from all sides. I forced my way to the rear door and was hit by something as I stepped off, which cut my car and bruised my head. As the car moved away the conductor fired three shots at me. It was as I got off the car that I noticed the lady on the car. What became of her I do not know."

LOUIS, MO.—The National Negro Business League convened in its 20th annual session on last Wednesday at the Coliseum under the auspices of the Local League, promptly ident of the Local League called the at 10 o'clock, Mr. A. E. Malone, presmeeting to order. America was sung by the audience standing, prayer was offered by Dr. J. T. Caston, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church. Mrs. Zelle Cole-Evans rendered a vocal solo assisted by Mr. J. Gerald Tyler at the piano. Delegates are in attendance from twenty-six states, representing every activity of Negro race enterprises and thrift. The delegates began arriving Monday and at the opening of the session a delegation of out-of-town people approximately 1,000 was in the city scattered among the homes of the residences and friends of our city, who offered to them the hospitality for which St. Louis has been noted. By Tuesday night the "Y," Grand Central Hotel and Poro were filled to overflow capacity. Poro seemed to be the greatest scene of activity as most of the officers and leaders in the movement were housed there. On Tuesday evening the officers of the Local Lague tendered the officers of the National League a luncheon at the Poro. The great feature of the meeting was an address by Emmett J. Scott, suggesting a reconstruction program for the future work of the League. President Malone's address saying among other things that it was a pleasure for him to call to order the 20th session of the National Negro Business League. Thru the National Negro Business League we have been able to become acquainted, to get close together; to be of use of our neighbors and give inspiration to others. The spirit prevailing was one of strict application to the business before the organization. Mr. G. T. Thomas, of Clarksdale, Miss., addressed the National League on the subject of "Making Farming Pay." His address was allowed by a general discussion in which many questions were asked and answered. Mr. C. A. Barnett, of Chicago, Ill., made an address before the League on the subject: "Building up a Sales Force Through Advertising, and he went on to tell the League and visitors the methods of the Kashmir Chemical Co., of Chicago, Ill. His talk was very interesting and also very full of information and instruction. He brought out the fact that the Kashmir Chemical Co. was one of the real achievements of our race. 100 per cent Negro and delivering the goods. Next was the report of the Secretary of the League by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary. Among other things the Secretary stated that the League had passed from the kindergarten stage and reached the age of maturity and it was now time for the League to go forward or to die. He called attention to the conditions and radical changes taking place in this age with a view of causing the League to see the necessity of drastic action in matters pertaining to the forward movement of the affairs of the race. He from excerpts called attention to the necessity of adopting a real program which would give us push in making a forward step, without which we must because of laxity, lose our grip. He called attention to the new methods which had been advised by the president at the last meeting at Atlantic City, N. J., in 1918. The League needs larger and better financial support from its adherents and the practice of living on the philanthropy of the white race is to be discouraged. He suggested a change of prgoram at this meeting; a change which is to have a far-reachin effect and will be helpful for everyone in the production of visible results. He proposed as follows 1st. National Headquarters to be located at Wasington, D. C. Said headquarters to be conducted along lines of the H. S.

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 6, 1919.—The many faces that witnessed the grand performance that was held at the Pekin Theater, Wednesday, July 30, 1919, are very anxious for this famous company to repeat the performance. Mr. A. L. King is due much credit for his eager efforts to produce before the public such a grand show that was seen at the Pekin Theater on the 30th. He has worked ever so hard to please the public with his many different shows, of which all have proved a great success. It has been said several times that this last show can never be excelled. Mr. A. L. King and Mr. Tracy Jordan have come together for their future business, and are able to accommodate any club, cabaret, house party and fraternal organization, with any kind of amusement that they need and at reasonable terms. The cast of the last play—the men: James Conley, Edmond Towles, Robert King, Koot Hagler, Tracy Jordon, H. W. S. Thompson and A. L. King The girls: Magdaline Proctor, Willie May Pittman, Alice Woodson, Olie Drake, Pauline Payton and Hallie May Brown. It was well understood that this show plays to please as it opened with a grand Minstrel First Part, with Hagler and King as the entertainers of the evening, Robert King and James Conley being the hit of the evening during the first part, while Magdaline and Pauline got all that was coming to them with their late song numbers. Tracy Jordon, the famous interlocutor, was the final scream with his most beautiful ballad, as usual put over with his sweet lyric tenor voice, after which Hagler closed the First Part with his jazz number, the Kitchen Stove Rag. The Olio opened up with the little man with the educated feet, the whirlwind buck and wing dancer, after which he tops things off with a little waltz clogg encores sufficence. What knocked them out of the seats was this great number. The dainty soubrette and chorus who was the real scream and did their bit was Magdalene, the little girl that has them all wondering. Then came the man with a barrel of jokes that will keep any one full of laughter from the time of his appearance until his departure. King and Drake entered with a very nice talking act which, as being new before the public, was taken very nicely. Then followed the one simple number which received much praise and several encores and always do her bit was no more than Pauline Payton. The last part of the olio came the two city favorites, the boys that always pleases, and being placed on this strong bill as Headliners, they well filled the bill and it was well noticed that they had been out, they used their own original jokes throughout their entire act. The public will always remember these famous funmakers, Tracy and Koots. The afterpiece was the final hit as when A. L. King as Uncle EPH and Koots Hagler as Aunt DINAH and Willie Brown as Rastus entered, the house went up in laughter and as they closed this act everybody left, yelling for an early return date, which this company will try and do shortly. King and Jordon are now rehearsing their company for a musical comedy for several out-of-town engagements, and would like to hear from three nice looking girls for same, those that can sing and dance giver preference. Always watch the Forum for the news of the day, also the news of this show company. The roster of this company is as follows: A. L.

Samuels-Belboder, Vicar The Holy Rite of Christian Baptism was administered last Sunday morning upon two persons, Mr. Byron Alxander and the infant Charles Wilson. This service took place immediately after the lesson. To emphasize the importance of the rite and further to enlighten the congregation the Vicar delivered an illuminating address on Baptism. "Baptism," he said, "is a very old rite, with its beginning in the ancient past in the religions of Egypt, Persia and India. It was carried to Greece and Rome in comparatively early times and later borrowed by the Hebrews and incorporated in their cell- tion when they constituted themselves a nation. One form of Baptism—the Persian—was the taurobolium, or blood-bath by which the candidate or the mysteries became regenerate—born anew—into a new, definite spiritual realization of life, with the lesire to perpetuate this new mental attitude and spiritual experience. So acceptable was this outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace to the inquiring minds of the Hebrews that they adopted it in their religious economy, and used it as a religious initiation for all Jews who for the prescribed and necessary causes felt the compunction to submit to it. John the Baptist was not the first to use baptism as so many people seem to believe. His baptism has been noted especially only because of its relationship to the early life and work of our Lord Jesus. He was the forerunner of Christ, hence his historical works must be told in order that as full as possible a knowledge of the Christ should be given. Christian baptism is a continuation of the Hebrew rite, especially commanded of Christ, with like reasons as those inhering in all such initiatory rites, but with a far different meaning, namely—a new spiritual birth in Christ, forgiveness of all former sins, a new allegiance and loyalty to Jesus, and the full grace of the Holy Spirit. The Vicar then admonished the people to recall and be reminded of their baptismal vows, to petition the Father that Grace may be given them to continue loyal and faithful soldiers to this first Christian sacrament, and to draw near always to Jesus in Spirit, to walk in His way and live in His light. Services next Sunday: 7 a. m., Holy Communion. 10 a. m., Church school. 11 a. m., Morning Prayer and Sermon, Preacher, The Vicar. DR. BUSH RETURNS Dr. E. E.

NOTES All services will be held as usual Sunday. The pastor's theme for the morning service will be "GOD IS LOVE." The Sunday school greeted the return of their energetic superintendent with pleasure, and she reports an interesting and instructive session of the Institute. Mr. E. T. Banks will teach the Willing Workers' class. Last Sunday night the pastor was compelled to be absent from the evening services. Rev. J. A. Transue officiated in his place. It is with deepest sympathy and sad regret we announce the death of Rev. M. N. Culpher, one of our pioneer ministers. An account of the funeral is given in another column. The address of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, our presiding Bishop, was a great source of inspiration to all who heard him. At this time, when conditions are so uncertain, and when the minds of the people are wrought up in a state of unrest, the advice and influence of great leaders like our bishop is very timely. Bishop Smith was also present, making a short address and gave advice to his race that will prove helpful in the future. The pastor and congregation extend hearty congrulations to the pastor, Rev. J. T. Smith, and his congregation, for their great achievements pleased we are when our churches during his pastorate in Dayton. How make such noted progress. The sad intelligence reaches us just before going to press of the death of Mr. E. R. Merchant's mother. The funeral services was conducted at Xenia, Ohio, Friday, Rev. Scott presiding.

CHURCH NOTES We enjoyed two practical, logical and real gospel sermons, preached by a man that holds no malice against any one, but preaches the word in its purity, and this man is Rev. W. H. Coleman. He preached as strong as most ministers do at the age of 40 years. We enjoy hearing him. One added to the church. The Sunday schol was well attended even though it rained in the early part of the morning. The Allen Endeavor League was well attended in the evening. On Monday evening last a jolly set of men came out and gave valuable service in clearing up the basement of our church.
