Interesting News Concerning the Race.
Atlanta, Ga.—A plea for the Afro-American to retin his self-respect and seek to elevate himself as an individual rather than as a race' was made by Bishop W. D. Chappelle of Columbia, S.C., in an address to the Educational Board of the A. M. E. church.
"Self-respect is the first step to uplift," said Bishop Chappelle. "No people will ever amount to anything that has not the principle of self-respect. We, as a race, must lift ourselves as individuals, and not by boasting that we are Negroes and talking of the progress we have made since emancipation. We must teach the world that as individuals we are a part of the human family, endowed with the same qualities of manhood. We must build a solid character, and get education and wealth. We must add our part to the civilization of the world, then demand our place in the race of life. When I hear a Negro say he is proud that he is a Negro, I put that Negro down as a fool! I am sorry that I am a Negro, and the future is dark and opaque for my boy, simply because he is a Negro."
Kinston, N. C.—One experiment here with Negro labor tends to disprove the claims of the race's shiftleness advanced by employers in this vicinity recently when they imported foreigners to take the places of native blacks. A silk mill in northeast Kinston, which previously had had a rather turbulent career is profitably conducted with Negro management and operatives, and is said to be a model manufactory. T. W. Thurston, a colored preacher, is at the head of the enterprise, which is locally owned, and the 83 men, women and children employed are all Negroes. No lint, very little noise, and excellent light is noticeable in this competently conducted plant, and efficiency is attested by the output. Thurston is a silk expert. The labor is well paid and the operatives say working conditions are nearly ideal. Journal and Guide.
Laurel, Miss.-Melisha Johnson, a ten year old girl, recently prevented the wrecking of a passenger train on the Ellisville & Laurel railroad, after chains had been stretched across a bridge and a big log placed across it.
The child was dressing for church, when her little brother told her he had seen three men placing logs on the bridge. She ran a half mile and flagged the train. Passengers collected a $75 purse for her.
Robbing Right Hand to Pay Left.
Washington, D. C.—During the consideration, or rather the hearing, before the appropriation Committee of Congress, of that part of the appropriation bill for Panama Canal expenses, Col. Eugene T. Wilson, U. S. subsistance officer, made the startling statement that he deficit resulting in operating the hotels for white employees at the canal was made up with profits from the meals provided for black employees at their messes. He stated that there were eighteen hotels operated for white gold laborers, and fifteen messes for Spaniards and West Indians, that from the whites the government received 40 cents per day for three meals, and from the black 27 cents per day for three meals, 9 cents per meal; that the line hotels were operated at a loss of $1,500 per month, but the loss was made up by profit in the West Indian and Spanish messes.
They compose the unskilled laborers—the "men in the ditches," whose arduous work must necessarily provoke a good appetite. One wonders what the West Indian Negroes are fed, at 9 cents a meal that would enable the making of a profit sufficient to offset a deficit of $15,00 per month on the board furnished white employees at 13 1-3 cents per meal. The conclusion drawn is that these "black hewers of wood and drawers of water," the poor devils who "earn their bread by the sweat of their brow," are not fed on "the fat of the land."
Hopkinsville, Ky.—Six indictments have been returned to the Circuit Court against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for alleged inferior accommodations id the "jim crow" sections provided colored passengers. The Illinois Central and the Tennessee Central Railroads have also been indicted for the same offence. Under the separate car law of Kentucky the railroads are required to furnish equal accommodations for both races. The railroads, it is claimed, have given colored people accommodations that were hardly fit for cattle. Should the railroads be convicted a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1500 may be imposed,
Colored people of Kentucky have protested time and again against inferior accomodations, but the Railroad Commission never heeded their requests. The indictments were secured following an exposure of conditions by the Saturday News. Editor Phil H. Brown succeeded in arousing the interest of prominent whites. Afro American Ledger.
Love Our Neighbors As Ourselves
A Bishop To Be Pitied.
We have read with the deepest affection, not unmixed with some surprise and such indignation, your detailed and anxious vindication of the most hideous crime that has ever stained humanity—the slavery of men of color in the United States of America. We are lost in utter amazement at the perversion of mind and depravity of heart which your address evinces. How can the generous, the charitable, the humane, the noble emotions of the Irish heart have become extinct among you? How can your nature be so totally changed as that should become the apologists and defenders of that execrable system which makes man the property of his fellow man, destroys the foundation of all moral and social virtues, condemns to ignorance, immorality, and irreligion, millions of our fellow creatures; and pertetuates oppression by law, and in the name of what you call a constitution?

Wm. T. Vernon, once the Register of the United States Treasury department will speak at Shorter A. M. E. church March 30, 1914. Mr. Vernon is a well-known character throughout the U S., and is particularly known as the silver toned "black Demothenes." He was connected with the Western University as President and held a high position for the U. S. government, having supervi-
Barred From Theater.
Columbus, O.—The colored people here are up in arms because the Majestic Theater, recently opened, refuses to admit colored people to any part of the house. Most of the theaters here either refuse to admit colored people, or confine them to the galleries.
Dover, Del.—The color line has been drawn by the Democratic party in Kent county. The restrictions is one of the provisions indorsed recently by the county committee in connection with the direct primary law and reads as follows:
"No person shall vote at a Democratic primary election in Kent county who is not a white male citizen and who if requested so to do by any person present refuses to pledge himself at the time he offers to vote to vote for the candidates of the Democratic party nominated at such primary election.
Savannah, Ga.—A public library for the use of colored people is in course of erection. It was made possible by a gift of $12,000 from Andrew Carnegie. The city will give $12,000 a year for its maintenance.
Boston, Mass.—In the will of the late Benjamin Leeds, filed here, provisions are made for $325,000 in public gifts. Among the legatees the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which has been left a bequest of $25,000.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1914
Are You Guilty?
The leaders of thought among ourselves ought to give serious and practical attention toward a cultivation of friendliness and fraternal feelings between members of our own race and members of what are sometimes called 'foreign races." When we chance to see the ordinary Chinaman, Pole or Jew, do we feel a lively interest in the various problems which they have to encounter? If ours is a feeling of indifference towards them, why should we wonder at the indifference and unconcern manifested toward us by the ordinary white man? Our claim for a "square deal" rest not upon the fact that we are Negro or colored, but rather upon the ground of a common manhood. There is no right or privilege which we may justly claim for ourselves which does not pertain to a man of any other race. We should specially cultivate the acquaintance and good will of the members of all races, who, in some sense, sustain many of the disadvantages which fall to our lot. In so doing we minister to our highest good. We lose our individual racial life that we may again find it more productively and abundantly.
Illustrative of our contention, we would call attention to a most interesting article in the "Independent" of last week, with respect to Mr. Henry Moskowith, recently appointed by Mayor Mitchell as President of the Civil Service Commission of New York City. When one thinks of the "Eastside" New York, with its teaming swarms of humanity, under the most lowly conditions, and then remember that only 30 years ago Mr. Moskowith was but a poor Polish boy of four years, and his parents environed with all the hardships of extreme poverty, the sacredness and greatness of our common humanity can the more be appreciated.
Henry Moskowith was born 34 years ago in the little town of Husch Rumania, of Polish Jewish lineage and when four years of age he emigrated to New York with his mother, his father having already come to New York the year previous where he was making out a living as a push cart peddler, selling suspenders and notions. The story of the life of young Moskowith, first as a little newspaper boy on the Eastside, and now, with only the lapse of thirty years, one of the most prominent and useful citizens of that great city, is exceedingly interesting and thrilling. Instead of shrink-from, as if we were better, than the many foreigners in our midst, we should rather draw nigh, learn of them, sympathize with them, and join our forces in the uplift of humanity.
The Negro is not one whit better than the most lowly of the many foreign races which help to make up our common country; and recognizing this fact he should cheerfully and enthusiastically act accordingly. Let us make friends with Men, not money.
We can never forget that Daniel O'Connell, the distinguished Irish leader, espoused the cause of the Negro in America, not because he was a Negro, but because he was a man. And although an Irishman, far remote from the horrors of American slavery he never failed to administer a stinging rebuke to certain Irishmen in America, who were inclined to go against the Negro rather than for him. The spirit of O'Connell should be our spirit. In his address to the Irish Repeal Association, of Cincinnati, many years ago, the distinguished Irish patriot said:
"It was not in Ireland you learned this cruelty. Your mothers are kind, gentle and humane. Their bosoms overflows with the honey of human charity. Your sisters are probably, many of them, still among us, and participate in all that is good and benevolent in sentiment and action. How, then, can you have become so depraved? How can your souls have become stained with a darkness blacker than the Nergo's skin?" We must certainly put into practice a wider and deeper charity if we anticipate a solution of many of our problems. Let us think more of the common problems which effect all of the under races who are the victims of the greed and oppression of the mightly, and in so doing a new and powerful element of strength will come to us. Let us honesty endeavor to love our neighbor as ourselves, and especially that portion sustaining similar conflicts as ourselves—Baltimore Ledger.

sion over some of the Indian Schools, Mr. Vernon is a western man and has made his way up through terrible struggles, storms and difficulties and his advice and influence in the African Methodist Episcopal church connection will be especially beneficial. He having travel all over the United States recently, will have a valuable message for the Denver folk.
MRS. TERRELL ON LYNCHING
Outlook For Our People Not So Bright, She Says.
In a recent speech at Boston Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington made the following reference to the progress of the race and the cruel practice of white people who lynch colored people:
"There are 32,000 colored school-teachers in this country, and their school property is valued at $2,500,000, while their church property is valued at $57,000,000, and colored people own 20,000,000 acres of land in the United States. But with all this the outlook for the colored race is not a bright one. We can teach our children the value of training, of application and of righteousness in life, but we cannot inspire them with hope.
"The shameful red murder record of the United States may be accounted for by the impunity with which colored men, and in some cases women, are killed every day. The offenders are not often punished, and in many cases they are not even called to account. This applies to the numerous cases of lynching that we hear about."
Methodists to Meet In St. Louis In May
The general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church will be held in St. Louis, Mo. Among the important subjects which will claim the attention of the bishops and delegates will be the question of changing the publishing house from Jackson, Tenn., to Nashville, Tenn., or some other more central location than it is at present, how to broaden the work of the denomination so as to reach a larger constituency and the election of bishops. The recent quadrennial meeting of the church was held in Jacksonville, Fla. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., presided.
O. G. Villard to Speak In Brooklyn.
Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Senator Moses E. Clapp and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols will speak at a public meeting to be held at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, Tuesday evening, March 31. in the interest of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People.

the salvation of souls. You have one more week to hear him; come and bring your sinner friends with you.

READING ADVERTISEMENTS.
It is not alone the people who are interested in trade who read advertisements. Few people nowadays buy either newspapers or magazines who do not read these cleverly worded and well illustrated bids for business. If you should ask the average person just why he or she is in the habit of looking over the advertisements, the chances are that you would get no direct and satisfactory answer, but the real fact is that subconsciously the public has come to regard what appears in the advertising columns as interesting reading matter.—Portland (Ore.)

HONORS MEMORY OF PETER OGDEN
NATION WIDE CELEBRATION.
Prominent Speakers Deliver Inspiring Addresses at Annual Gathering of Influential Secret Order—Former District Grand Master Robert J. Nelson Encourages Household of Ruth.
By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Harrisburg, Pa.—The observance of Peter Ogden day by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows recently was general among the members of the order throughout the country. The celebration held in this city was noted for the timeliness of the program of exercises and the prominence of the speakers, among whom was District Deputy Grand Master Robert J. Nelson of this state. Mr. Nelson's address was listened to with close attention throughout its delivery. He was warmly greeted by the brotherhood, and he in part said:
"That illimitable, silent, never resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent like an all embracing ocean tide, has spanned threescore and ten years since Peter Ogden planted the banner of Odd Fellowship on the soil of this country, and to its principles we again affirm our allegiance as we assemble at this shrine.
"As I stand before you on this occasion to assist in memorializing the founder of our great and splendid fraternity I am impressed at the obligation resting upon us, the followers of Peter Ogden, who reared on this soil the great organization that has been of incalculable benefit to our race.
"Peter Ogden was of American birth and was self educated. He early felt the importance of an honorable life and was desirous of leaving a name that would command respect. We have no record that he sprang from a house ancient and noble. He sprang from a race, impoverished, which had been a race lacking advantage and which was in need of an uplifting influence, when
M. B.
ROBERT J. NELSON. he called on the brethren across the sea to give it the hand of fraternal fellowship.
"He was not a proud, cynical man, a scorner of his people, nor was he im placable in his vindictiveness of spirit. Everything points to the fact that he was gentle, but firm—a virile character whose vigorous life had the elements of true greatness. There may not hang about his life the perfume of either the spelling book or the lexicon—his deeds were living, seedful fruit. Divine Providence guided his actions and his title to fame will rest securely upon the grand and noble fraternal structure reared by his own efforts. Naturally of a generous spirit, he was distinguished for the strength of his intellect. As we meet to memorialize Peter Ogden we do it with a sense of appreciation of his real life. We bestow upon him that full measure of praise his deeds, his foresight and mainly character demand we should as the years come and go.
"The order he founded, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, is one of the most potential organizations of which our race can boast and the good it has done and is doing in the cause of humanity and for the general uplift of our race is not equaled by that of any organization extant. As we read the history of our order we will find that its deeds are so bright and its achievements so fruitful that it stands forth in every community as a beacon light beckoning the good men, women and children into its ranks.
"One of the agencies that has contributed so materially to our steady growth as well as our influential status was the opportunity we gave the women to become a part of our order nearly sixty years ago. Known as the Household of Ruth, their branch was taken from the most beautiful book of the Bible-Ruth. I want to go on record here and now as favoring a larger recognition for the Household, and you may be assured that I will at all times lend whatever aid I can in that direction."

THE EDWARDS BILL WOUL.
BAR ALL BUT DEMOCRA
Measure Proposed by a Georgia CA
gressman to Legalize Segregation
Washington.—Congressman Edwards
of Georgia, author of a bill which has
for its purpose the complete separation
of white and colored employees in the
government service, also wants to
abolish the present modus operandi of
the civil service. He is said to have
asserted on the floor of the house,
while speaking in defense of his bill
Feb. 24, that it was his desire to reor-
gunize the civil service so that only
white Democrats would be eligible to
hold positions under the new system.
“Phere are many of us in the house
who would like to see the civil service
abolished,” said Mr. Edwards. “Then
we could not only get rid of the Ne
groes in the service. but we could put
Democrats in. It seems, however.
that the friends of the civil service
are in the majority, and we are unable
to get it abolished.
“My idea would be to abolish the
present rotten system, and then re
write another civil service statute aft
er we had got Democrats and white
people. In this way the Democrats
would be covered under the new law
and wonld hold on under it. It is
politics, but our whole government
system {S one of politics and parties.
“We can’t keep the parties strong
unless we give the positions to those
who help win vietories. If putting
the Republicans and Negroes out ot
Jobs is the attitude of a spoflsman.
then I ain a spoilsman to that extent.
for 1 certainly have strong convic-
tions along that Hine.”
The Edwards bill provides that the
executive heads of the several depart
ments shall issue orders segregating
the white and Negro employees in ev-
ery branch of the government service
and that hereafter “white clerks shall
not be reqiired to occupy the same of.
fices or workrooms with employees or
clerks of African blood or descent, nor
shall any white clerk or employee be
placed under the orders, direction or
supervision of any person of African
blood or descent.”

SEGREGATION IS CHECKED.
Federal Employees In Washington Are
Treated Alike. Says Report.
Treated Alike, Says Report.
Washington.-The second blow to race segregation since the national anti-segregation petition by colored citizens was presented to President Wilson by a delegation of the National Independent Political league last fall is announced in a recent report which states that the last of color segregation in the departments of the government service in this city has come to an end on an order issued by Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, the senior assistant secretary of the treasury. The segregation had hovered longest in the bureau of engraving and printing of the treasury, where some 300 colored girls were during all of last summer ordered by Director Ralph to desist using the common dining room at the luncheon hour, but to use instead a small room containing the lavatories assigned to colored people. The crowding was terrible, and there were other obvious objections.
Mr. Ralph refused to make a change however, and the former head of the fiscal division, Assistant Secretary J. S. Williams, a Virginian, did not make use of his authority, being, in fact, not a little responsible for the indorsement in the treasury department of such segregation. Mr. Hamlin has now succeeded Mr. Williams, and he has eliminated the last of the segregation as reported, by ordering, now that the bureau of engraving and printing is to occupy its new quarters, that all employees shall use the common dining room there provided.
The colored people are very grateful to Mr. Hamlin. Recently prominent colored citizens appeared in protest to a committee in congress giving hearings on a bill purposing a legal enforcement of segregation in general in Washington. When the delegation of the National Independent Political league made the argument against segregation President Wilson promised an investigation, which he later made. When John Skelton Williams was made comptroller of the treasury the league's secretary, W. Monroe Trotter asked Representative Peters of Boston to use his influence for the appointment of Mr. Hamlin to first assistant treasurer, as the following letter to Mr. Trotter shows: House of Representatives, Washington. Jan. 23, 1914. Mr. William Munroe Trotter, Cornell University.
Dear Trotter—Your wire is at hand. I wish to say that I am urging on Mr. Hamlin the appointment of some one unprejudiced to take Mr. Williams' place, left vacant in the treasury. Yours sincerely,
A. J. PETERS.
On Feb. 19 Secretary Trotter telegramed Representative Peters to see Mr. Hamlin as to undoing segregation. In reply he wrote, "Have you any recent information which would show that the relief which was promised your committee is not being carried out in the department here?" In reply Secretary Trotter wrote on the 2d of March that the president's promise had not been carried out and urged action. Then came this reported action by Assistant Secretary Hamlin on March 6.
When the league's delegation had its hearing, being presented by Representative Thacher of Massachusetts, the league did not cease its work. At Christmas it issued a second appeal to the president, which was presented to him in person by Representative Peters before the president went south. Again on Jan. 23 the league had another protest on a clear case of railway postoffice segregation filed with the president by Representative Thacher. The Massachusetts branch of the National Independent Political league is now fighting a case of segregation in the Boston navy yard.
SPRING CAMPAIGN IN AID OF THE JENKINS ORPHANAGE
Novel Program Arranged For World's Fair on the Road.
Charleston, S. C.—Instead of the fair held annually in aid of the Jenkins orphanage in this city the directors have requested the Rev. D. J. Jenkins, president and founder of the institution, to make a tour of the state in the interest of the work. President Jenkins has decided to make the trip and has selected as his subject, "The World's Fair on the Road." He will begin the tour on Tuesday, April 14. Public meetings will be held in every large city and town in the state, winding up with a big demonstration at home on Monday, May 20.
The program for the trip will be in part as follows: Concerts by the orphanage band of twenty-five pieces, playing the "Fall of Jericho" and "The Holy City." The subject for debate will be, "The North Against the South." Miss N. B. Spencer will represent the north and Miss A. E. Robinson will speak for the south. The discussion will be settled by the orphanage man, who will offer a compromise between the two sections of the country represented by the speakers.
Much interest is being manifested by the public in the coming campaign through the state and the management feels confident that the change from the old form of entertainment will result in substantial financial aid for the institution.
Progress of the Royal Circle of Friends. The Royal Circle of Friends of the World, a large secret society organization, with headquarters in Helena Ark., is making rapid progress. Dr. R. A. Williams, grand president of the organization, recently appointed supervisors over the work in fourteen different towns and cities in Ar'gunas.
WAGONER PEOPLE SHOW GRATITUDE
Business League Organizer Visits Busy Oklahoma Town.
RECEIVES A WARM WELCOME
Representative of Large National Body Witnesses Gross Discrimination Against Afro-Americans on Southern Train—Impressed With Spirit of Cooperation Among Our People.
By RALPH W. TYLER.
Wagoner, Okla.—This is the first town of any size in Oklahoma at which one arrives after leaving Kansas City, it being about eight hours' ride from the latter city. I had a startling, but agreeable surprise awaiting me when my train rolled into the station. But a short time before reaching the town I had protested strongly because a young couple, members of my race, were asked to leave the parlor car, out of Kansas City, on reaching the Oklahoma state line. My protest, however, was of no avail, for the additional reason that the couple themselves complied docilely with the command.
I had just fallen into a half doze when the train reached Wagoner, from which I was awakened by loud cheering, and "There he is at that window" and the like. I was startled, and visions of a vigilance committee bent on taking me from the train and inflicting punishment on me for protesting against the eviction of the colored couple flashed before me. Instead of a vigilance committee I soon discovered it was a large concourse of colored citizens of Wagoner bearing flags, flowers and wearing badges on which were the words, "Welcome to Oklahoma," and Herbert A. Clark, a former Ohloan, headed the welcoming band. For this I shall always remember and with genuine pleasure Wagoner.
This town has a population of perhaps 10,000, nearly one-third of which is colored. It boasts of paved streets, excellent business blocks and residences brilliantly illuminated at night. Wagoner is not a bit slow. In fact, it is a very progressive little city. The Negro Business league has organized for effective work the colored population, and all appear to be co-operating with a spirit worthy of emulation. The president of the local league, Dr. R. S. Smith, an Alcorn and Meharry alumnus, is a tireless worker in his efforts to keep Wagoner people busy along the path of progress, and he has the confidence of all, whites as well as our own people, who own some fine town and farm property and are doing splendidly.
There are three physicians and two lawyers here with a good practice. The business houses, consisting of groceries, general stores, cafes, etc., show prosperity. Very few cities in the country among us can boast of a newspaper plant equal to the American, which Herbert A. Clark manages and edits. It is located in a very substantial two story brick building, the property of the owner, L. A. Pell, and is equipped with two or three presses, a linotype machine and all modern print shop necessities.
Mr. Pell, reputed to be the black Croesus of the town, a former Mississippiian, owns large interests here as well as in Muskogee, where he puts in most of his time. Wagoner's commercial growth is somewhat interfered with by its close proximity to Muskogee, being but fourteen miles from the latter city. The slogan of the local Business league, "Patronize race business men," however, is giving the colored business establishments excellent trade and, as a natural consequence, giving employment to young colored men and women. This is more strictly a farming community, and the land, fertile as it is, yields bountifully to the colored farmer. The colored people of Wagoner are taking as much interest in the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league in Muskogee as if it were to be held in their own town. They will go over to Muskogee en masse and help accord the delegates a royal reception when the league meets in August.
It is estimated that the colored people here and in the vicinity own in the neighborhood of $250,000 of realty and have invested something like $25,000 in business. For a new town, for Wagoner is perhaps not more than fifteen years old, this is a very fine showing. It is what one might call a hustling community of co-operating Negroes. I was very much impressed with the determination of these people and their loyalty to race which leads them to follow colored leadership. In practically every home here, as is true all through Oklahoma, one finds the picture of Dr. Booker T. Washington.

CARD OF THANKS.
Mr Willis Rease died Monday, Mar. 9th, at his residence, 2358 Curtis St., at the age of 52 years, 11 months and 24 days. He was born in Weston, Mo., Platte county, April 2, 1861. In 1894 he married Miss Amanda Phynix in Omaha, Neb. He and his bride returned to Weston, Mo., where he lived until 1901, when he moved his family to Great Falls, Mont. In 1904 he moved his family to Denver, Colo., where they have resided ever since. He was loved by all who knew him, both among colored and white. He was spoken of as a nice, quiet gentleman b yeach race. He was employed as a porter at the Daniels and Fisher Stores Co. until six months ago when he was taken ill and was confined to his home and bed until death came. Mr. Reese leaves a wife and eight children, three grand children, two brothers, two sisters, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.
Brief Mention of Some Organizations
Which Are Doing Excellent Work. The success of the literary organizations maintained in the various sections of the country by Afro-Americans shows that the race is giving considerable time to the cultivation of the intellectual side of life. Meetings for the discussion of the current topics of the day as they relate to subjects of home, state or nation are always profitable if rightly conducted. The literary society should fill a large place in every community and should be so conducted as to hold the attention of the public in its special line, just as the church, social club or secret society touches the personal interest of its members.
The selection of speakers and topics should always be given careful consideration. In the opinion of those who have had years of experience in literary organization work home talent should be given a large place both on programs for public meetings and in the work assigned to the several committees. Persons of prominence who have made a success in business or professional life should also be given an opportunity to contribute their quota of thought and experience to literary organizations.
The Sunday Forum in Portland, Ore., has arranged a special program for a public meeting to be held on Thursday, March 26 and has invited President
M. H.
WALTER K. TAYLOR.
William T. Vernon of Campbell college, Jackson. Miss., to deliver the principal address. Among other organizations which are doing a similar work are the Des Moines (Ia.) lyceum, Athenian literary, Memphis, Teen; the Christian Endeavor lyceum, Jersey City, N. J.; the St. Mark's lyceum, New York; the Bethel Literary and Historical society, Washington, and numerous others not named in this article scattered throughout the country.
The Concord literary circle in Brooklyn, of which Mr. Walter K. Taylor is the president, held its annual musical and social at its last meeting in February. This annual function of the circle was largely attended by persons in and out of the city. The organization is doing a good work, and by the high character of its programs has won public favor. At the March meeting, held on the 12th, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, the only woman reporter of our race on a daily paper in Greater New York, delivered a most timely address on the subject, "What of Tomorrow?"
Mr. Walter K. Taylor, president of the Concord literary circle, is a native of Montgomery, Ala. He is well equipped for the position, both by education and experience. Besides his public school training, Mr. Taylor is a graduate of the Agricultural and Mechanical college in Alabama, of which the late William L. Councilll was president. Mr. Taylor since becoming a resident of Brooklyn has taken a special course of study at Pratt institute. He is a student of books and is one of the most useful young men in the community.

Addresses While on Pacific Coast.
The schedule for Dr. Booker T. Washington's speaking dates in Los Angeles, Cal., and vicinity was arranged by Dr. John Willis Baer, president of Occidental college, Los Angeles. Mr. Baer was formerly secretary of the Christian Endeavor society, with headquarters in Boston.
Dr. Washington's first public address in the series of speeches which he will make in California was delivered at the First Congregational church in Los Angeles Sunday morning, March 8. The Rev. Morris E. Turk was in charge of the meeting. In the afternoon of the same day Dr. Washington addressed a large meeting at the First Methodist church. The meeting held in the interest of the Y. M. C. A., at which Dr. Washington spoke later, was in charge of Mr. T. A. Green.
On Tuesday, March 10, Dr. Washington spoke at the high school auditorium in Pasadena and also delivered a lecture under the auspices of Throop College of Technology, in the same town. These meetings were in charge of Mr. James A. B. Scherer. The meeting held at Pomona college, in Claremont, Wednesday, March 11, was in charge of Mr. James A. Blaisdell, president of Pomona college.
On Thursday night, March 12, Dr. Washington was the guest of honor at a banquet at the Hotel Virginia, Long Bench, Cal. This banquet was one of the big social functions given in connection with the meeting of the state Y. M. C. A. convention and was directed by Secretary Sprunger of the Y. M. C. A. in Los Angeles.
Dr. Washington returned to Los Angeles and delivered a most highly instructive address at the First Presbyterian church, of which the Rev. Dr. Robert Freeman is the pastor. At the meeting held in Redlands, Cal., on Tuesday, March 17, at which Dr. Washington spoke, Mr. Edgar Williams presided. Friday morning, March 20, he is scheduled to be the guest of the Friday morning club in Los Angeles, and Mrs. Seward Simons of South Pasadena is to preside. On Sunday, March 22. Dr. Washington is to visit Riverside, Cal., and will be at the Mission inn, of which Mr. Frank Miller is the proprietor.
TOUR OF PINEY WOODS
COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL
What Lawrence C. Jones Is Doing at an Institution In Mississippi.
Principal Lawrence C. Jones of the Piney Woods Country Life school, Branton, Miss., will begin his annual educational campaign in the interest of the school at Laurel, Miss., Friday, March 27. Mr. Jones will be accompanied on his tour by the Piney Woods school's brass band and glee club. The program for the meetings will consist of concerts by the band and an address by Professor Jones on the general subject of "Turning Up the Pine Barrens of South Mississippi."
The tour will include the following cities and towns in the state on dates mentioned: Ellisville, March 28; Collins, March 30; Hattiesburg, April 1; Wiggins, on the 2d, Gulfport on the 3d and Columbia on the 4th. The annual tour through the southern part of the state is a part of the extension work of the school. The work is in splendid condition, which speaks well for Mr. Jones, who founded the school just a few years ago in a log cabin which at the time was a shelter for sheep. The institution now has one large substantial building and several smaller ones, in which are taught more than eight industries.
Mr. J. R. Webster, a prominent citizen of Branton and a good friend of the Piney Woods school, says of Mr. Jones and the work which he is doing for our people in Branton and vicinity:
"I am moved by a spirit of deep interest and a knowledge of the importance of an industrial education to say a few words in commendation of Lawrence C. Jones, who has identified himself with the colored people of our community by establishing a training school where the boys and girls can be taught and made to see the practical points of life and more clearly realize their duty as citizens to themselves and fellow men."
Safeguarding American Citizenship. In his annual report to Secretary Wilson of the department of labor in Washington, the Hon. R. K. Campbell, commissioner of naturalization, says the fact that 1,586 persons who applied for citizenship papers in the past year were refused because of ignorance and 522 were denied on grounds of immoral character, is a sign of the successful operation of the law.
During the year 10,891 applicants were rejected, and citizenship was granted to 82,017, the number rejected being almost 12 per cent.
Financial Aid For a Southern School.
The Lucy Laney league, an organization composed of graduates and former students of the Haines Normal and Industrial school in Augusta, Ga. gave a large reception at Manhattan Casino, New York city, in the interest of their alma mater Friday evening, March 13. A short drama and good music were feature, of the occasion. The attendance was large and the entertainment was a social and financial success, and the proceeds will go far toward assisting the trustees of the school in meeting the heavy demands of the institution.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

REV. JAMES H. GORDON D'ES
Head of Orphan School Passes Away in Brooklyn After Brief Illness. Brooklyn.—In the death of the Rev James H. Gordon, superintendent on the Howard Colored Orphanage and in dustrial school, located at King's Park N. Y., the institution loses one of its most stanch friends and tireless workers. Superintendent Gordon died in the German hospital in this city on Tuesday, March 3, after an illness of only ten days. He had been superintendent of the orphanage for eleven years. He was a well known Baptist preacher and had been pastor of a church in Nicetown, Pa., and the Baptist temple on West Fifty-ninth street New York, previous to taking charge of the Howard orphanage.
The institution was located on Troy avenue at Bergen street in Brooklyn when Rev. Mr. Gordon became its superintendent. Under his able and businesslike administration the work took on new life, and it was found necessary to seek larger quarters in order to accommodate the great number of children whom the home was constantly receiving, and also room was needed for the industrial work which Rev. Mr. Gordon had put in operation. A suitable tract of land and a few buildings were purchased at King's Park, and the institution was removed to that place a few years ago. While in charge Mr. Gordon aimed to put the Howard orphanage on a par with Tuskegee institute in Alabama, and he worked untimely to that end, making good success.
Through Mr. Gordon's personality and activities new life was infused into the institution, and strong substantial white friends by the humdreds were won to the cause. One of the features of popularity in connection with the asylum was the introduction of an annual southern dinner which soon became a function to which both white and colored persons looked with pride.
The Rev. Mr. Gordon was a native of Virginia, having been born in Sparksboro, that state, fifty-six years ago. He was a man of broad experience and devoted his life to uplift work among our people along many lines. He is survived by Mrs. Mary S. Gordon, his widow, and an only daughter, Miss Edith Gordon.
RICHARD B. THORNE WINS SUIT AGAINST EMPLOYERS
New York. The salt of Richard B. Thorne against Johnson, Adam & Greason, a real estate firm at 654 Broadway, this city, for injuries received in an elevator accident while in the employ of the said firm last December was settled by a jury in the supreme court before Justice Phillip on Saturday, Feb. 28, by awarding the injured man the sum of $25,000 Thorne's back was broken, and he has been lying in St. Vincent's hospital in a helpless condition since the 8th of December, 1913.
The evidence showed that Thorne was sent to the pit of an elevator shaft to replace the cables on the drum. While he was at work the elevator was brought down, crushing Thorne against the machinery and elevator pit. Thorne was taken to the hospital at once, and Mr. Almy and Henry C. Meyer, attorneys, were instructed to sue for damages.
The suit was brought under the new employers' liability law. It was the contention of the attorneys for Thorne that the engineer of the building, who under the law was Thorne's superintendent temporarily, was negligent in permitting the elevator to be operated below the first floor after he had assured Thorne that he would see that the car was not run to the basement. Because of Thorne's helpless condition it was impossible to produce him in court. Dr. Jesse D. Hand and Dr. Robert J. McGuire, both house surgeons at St. Vincent's, testified that Thorne would be paralyzed from the waist down for life. It therefore became necessary to take the testimony of the injured man at the hospital.
The attorneys went to the hospit and Thorne's testimony was taken This testimony was read to the jury. Robert H. McCormick of 45 William street, New York, counsel for the defendants, endeavored to show that had not Thorne been careless he would not have been injured. Residence Phone York 2070
DISCUSSION ON LABOR UNIONS
Speech of Judge Kavanaugh Provokes Wide Comment.
OMITS IMPORTANT FACTS.
List of Organizations In Which Afro-
Americans Hold Membership Shows
That an Attitude of Fairness Prevails—Colored Tradesmen Are Honorable, Says One Official.
Chicago.—Comments on the speech of Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh, delivered before the Irish Fellowship club in this city not long ago, are still being made both in the newspapers and by individuals. The full text of the speech has been carried by a large number of papers belonging to the National Negro Press association more than once, and the race press generally has given liberal space to the various phases of the learned judge's great deliverance.
The Daily News of this city, through one of its correspondents, who is a member of our race, comments at length on this statement in the judge's speech—namely:
"Let a black man get work of equal rank among white brick masons, electricians, clerks, bookkeepers, and what happens? Every white employee will quit the job as though the place had been covered by a pestilence."
This correspondent declares that in his own experience the contrary has proved to be the case. He is sustained in some measure at least by a study of the "Negro American Artisan," made by Atlanta university, which treats rather exhaustively of the relations of Negroes with trade unions.
According to this report, some unions admit Negroes in considerable numbers. The Tunnel and Subway Contractors' International union of New York city, for example, reported about 200 Negro members and added, "In our trade they are as good as there are in the business." The tobacco workers reported 400 or 500 members, a decrease, however, from the 1,500 they had in 1900. The United Mine Workers of America reported 25,000 colored members, while Negro members predominated in the largest local organization of the union. The secretary of the organization described them as "intelligent, honorable, progressive and good workmen."
Fifty Negro members were enrolled in the Brotherhood of Railroad Freight Handlers, while the Hod Carriers and Building Laborers' union included about 1,000 Negro members. Several hundred were reported as members of the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers' union, the constitution of which provides for a fine for discrimination against workers on account of their color.
From the secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners came this reply to the request for information: "Our constitution does not discriminate against Negro membership, although to the best of my knowledge, so far as the United States is concerned, they are a very rare exception, probably owing to the fact that we have but very few locals established in the south. I have never heard any uncomplimentary remarks made against any Negro that has been admitted into our organization."
The secretary of the International Typographical union has this to say: "Competent persons of both races have always been eligible to membership in our organization. In some of our southern unions there are objections to the admission of Negroes. This is a natural condition which time will probably eliminate." An enlightened position was taken by the Molders' union. The editor of the International Molders' Journal wrote, "The International Molders' Union of North America, now in its fifty-third year of existence, has never in its laws discriminated against the Negro molders." He explained that some difficulty had been experienced in local unions in the south, though "here and there, in the east, north, central west and Pacific coast, Negroes have been taken into membership and placed on an equality with the other members."
In the summary of the report relating to conditions in Illinois the Chicago Federation of Labor is recorded as replying that "we have one local union comprising all Negro members—the Asphalt Pavers and Helpers' union. No. 25—who are regularly affiliated with the international, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. We have Negro delegates from several organizations. I know of no union affiliated with the federation that prevents Negroes from joining—at least, this office has never received any complaint from that direction. We often try to organize the Negro, but find it difficult for one reason or another; principally the employer is always getting some Negro to tell others that organized labor is not their best friend, etc. The employer always has in mind it is to his best interest to keep the negroes unorganized."
The trade and labor council of Danville, Ill., bad about 700 Negro members in the Miners' union and forty in the Brick, Tile and Terra Cotta Workers' alliance. The Springfield Federation of Labor included Negro members in local unions of miners, barbers, hodcarriers and cement workers.

No longer wears earth's heavy cross."

Her many friends had gathered to bid her a "bon voyage" and the Takas after their own unique manner of entertainment, initiated Mrs. Ross into the "farewell degree."
