Dixon's Photo Play. A more dangerous false doctrine taught by the play is that the Ku-Klux-Klan was on the whole a righteous and necessary society for the defence of Southern white men against a black Legislature led by Northern white men. This is the same sort of argument being used by the Germans today that a contract may be destroyed as a military necessity. Undoubtedly, grievous conditions existed in the South, but they did not justify the utter lawlessness and atrocities which marked the trail of the Ku-Klux. There can be no worse teaching, no more mischievous doctrine than this; that lawlessness was justified as necessary." On Dr. Eliot's resuming his seat, Dr. Rowley, before introducing the next speaker, remarked that there would be general willingness to have "the antidote" administered as suggested by Dr. Elliot, but "that the danger would be that 10,000 would get the poison, while one would get the antidote." Assistant Editor Cobleigh of the Congregationalist, whose remarks created so great a sensation, said: "While many of my friends are expressing their disapproval of Thos. Dixon. I feel that I ought to say a word of appreciation for a service that he rendered to me the day before his play was first presented in Boston. He removed every doubt that I had had as to the right and wrong of 'The Birth of a Nation.'—He explained to me what he hoped to accomplish by its influence throughout the country. It is of great service to us in judging the play to learn the motives back of it, to learn just what the promoters are trying to do. Mr. Dixon came to my office for the purpose of convincing me that the play was alright. He did convince me that his purpose in it was all wrong, a conviction strengthened by a view of the picture at Tremont Theater, which proved to me that D. D. Griffith had achieved a dazzling success in telling Mr. Dixon's story in the most startling and impressive way, presenting the propaganda of falsehood and prejudice which Annual Rocky Mountain District Meetings of Colorado Conference, in Session June 1-2-3 At Campbell A. M. E. Church. Mr. Dixon had admitted to me was the real purpose he had in view. "Mr. Dixon says that he wants to teach the children of the United States his version of the history of the reconstruction period, that the Ku Klux was a chivalric army of crusaders, inspired by pure religion, and made up of the best white men of the South, organized to avenge assaults of colored men upon white women, and to protect their virtue, to protect property and personal rights and to regain the white man's control of the ballot, all of which he represents had been menaced or lost in a reign of terror caused by vicious colored people, whom he would have us believe, were the only kind of colored people except the ignorant and servile who 'knew their place.' He says that his father was a Baptist minister in North Carolina, and left the church to join the Ku Klux, remaining with it till it was disbanded so Thomas Dixon knows what he is talking about. "But authoritative history tells me that the Ku Klux were guilty of treason, wholesale murder, end other crimes, and that the real reign of terror was caused by the Ku Klux, and that white men who would not vote with the oligarchy, as well as Negroes, were innocent victims." The speaker concluded with the assertion that the play, instead of history, presented fiction and contended that the scenes of the chase of white women not only by "Cus" but also by the lieutenant-governor, who is a mulatto, shows the intent to convict the whole race, even though educated, of lust and baseness. Recounting Mr. Dixon's scheme to get rid of the whole race of Negroes, the speaker said: If we are to accept such a social and political propaganda against any race in our mixed population, where will it end? DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1915 The annual Rocky Mt. District meetings of the Colorado Conference African M. E. church will be held at Campbell A. M. E. church, 23rd & Lawrence streets, Rev. James Washington, pastor, beginning next Tuesday evening, June 1, continuing daily through Friday evening. The Rev. A. M. Ward, presiding elder of the district will be the presiding genius, and men and women throughout the district, which includes Wyoming, Utah and part of Nebraska as well as Colorado are expected to be in attendance. Dr. Eliot also pointed out that the further lesson was taught that the 13th and 14th amendments to the United States constitution should be repealed—"the amendments which secure to all parties and peoples, and particularly the recently emancipated slaves, the ordinary rights of personal freedom and public justice. Are we going to allow this to be set forth in every community, unless the antidote to the poison is also supplied?" The opening sermon is to be preached by Presiding Elder Ward, and music by Campbell choir, at 8 p.m., Tuesday, when all of the various departments are to be assembled. Following the holy communion, welcome addresses and responses will be given, ending the evening with an informal reception. Dr. Eliot commended at length on the real motive of the production, as revealed by Mr. Cobleigh's talk with the author, pronouncing it "inconceivable, monstrous, that the whole colored race should be removed to Africa, or some other unoccupied or barbarous country. They won't want to go. They'll have to be driven by force of arms. What an abominable outrage that would be to be perpetrated by white people on colored. It is represented that they might find a paradise in Liberia, and that this is a white man's country, better off without the presence of colored people. "Now let us recall—how did the colored people come here? Who brought them here? What have been their sufferings here? Whose children are many of them today? The very worst feature of southern legislation, except the slavery legislation, was that which provided that the child of a white man by a black mother should be his slave. The American people will never think of such an outrage as transporting a whole race beyond the seas." The District conference opens Wednesday June 2, at 9:30 a.m. In the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the Sunday School convention opens. Features of the afternoon will include the annual address of the district superindent, Mrs. M. E. Wade. Mrs. Fannie Brown will tell "What We Owe The Elementary Department of the Sunday School," and other interesting papers. "I don't feel clear," continued Dr Eliot, "that it is in the interest of the white people to have the play suppressed. It is surely not in the interest of the colored people to have it suppressed. It is said to insult the colored people. I say they had better not feel insulted; they can't be insulted; for the progress they have made in the last 50 years is one of the most stupendous phenomena in the whole history of civilization. My interest is not at all as to the effect of the play on the Negro race, for it has proved able to take care of itself. It's the white race I'm concerned about, as to the effect of the false teachings of history and the perversions of the ideals of liberty and justice. Here my doubt comes as to what should be done. It is quite true there is a growing indifference, especially among young people, to the questions of liberty and justice; but will not this play call attention to this fact?" Dr. Eliot suggested that, provided an antidote be supplied in a true exposition of American history and ideals, the play after all might serve some useful purpose; and closed by urging that the new statute petitioned for be of a general nature, universal in application against what is unpatriotic and unsuitable. It gave him great satisfaction to remember that he wrote the inscription on the Shaw monument because it testifies what the colored race did for the American people in the cause of liberty.

The Ohio legislature shows its approval of the great work that Wilberforce university is doing under the administration of President William S. Scarborough by its annual appropriations. The appropriation for this year is $133,900.03 and for 1916 $134,088.33, making a total for the two years of over $267,000. Aside from current expenses this money will be used to erect several new buildings, such as a gymnasium, recitation building, hospital and industrial shops. The college will erect next year a $30,000 science building in addition to making other improvements. The institution is making progress and is meeting in a substantial way the needs of its students. These liberal appropriations by the state will enable the university to greatly increase its plant in building and equipment. These new additions will put Wiblerforce university far ahead and enable it to do greater work. The institution has long been looked upon as a strong center of education in the state, and its long and eventful career as an institution of learning of the higher sort will be more than well sustained in the future. It is a source of gratitude and pleasure upon the part of the president and the trustees to note the growth of the school and the deep interest in its welfare manifested by the students, graduates and its many friends in all sections of the country.

Conditions Among Colored People Secures Positions For Hundreds of Men In New York—City Officials and Business Men Praise Effort. New York.—The workshop for un- employed men, which has been con- ducted in the basement of the St. Phil- ip’s church, in this city, for the past ten weeks by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, was closed on Friday, April 16, after a very successful period of operation. The total attendance at the shop was 12,739. There were 774 different men registered at the shop, and the total expense of operating amounted to $8.- 430.59, the gift of the mayor's com- mitee on unemployment. While the shop was allowed 79 cents per day pet man, the per unit daily cost of the shop at St. Philip's church was 6.61 cents. ‘This shop bas received the com- | mendation of officials of the unem- ployment committee and such visitors as Theodore Roosevelt, Judge Elbert |Gary, Clty Chamberlain Bruere, Mr. | Shillady, the director of the unemploy- ment committee; Mr. George W. Per- kins, Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr, and Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood. In fact, it has been frequently stat- lea at the committee's headquarters eae this shop was one of the most economically run of all of the chain of workshops and that the cleanliness in the kitchen and the workroom, the be- [havior of the men and the character |of the output were exceptionally sat- \isfactory and praiseworthy. | While the other shops used machines | for rolling bandages and making the | surgical dressings, the officials of the league felt that it would be more bene- ficlal to the men if the expense of pur- | chasing machines was omitted so that |the men could receive as much ta wages as possible. However, in spite | of the fact that the men used thelr |hands only for the work, the output | was remarkable. | These goods were boxed and shipped | to hospitals operated by or for colored people in New York and other cities. | tne hospitals receiving contributions | of surgical dressings are as follows: | Lincoln hospital, Vanderbilt clinic, Roosevelt hospital, St. Maty’s hospital, St. Mark’s hospital, New York; Provi dent hospital, Chicago; Red Cross sant tarium, Louisville, Ky.; Richmond hos- pital, Richmond, Va; St. Agnes’ hos- pital, Raleigh, N. C.; Dixie hospital, Hampton institute, Hampton, Va.; John A. Andrew Memorial hospital, Tuskegee institute, Tuskegee, Ala.; hospital at Voorhees Industrial school, Denmark, 8. C.; Charity hospital and East Side sanitarium, Savannah, Ga. (donated through the Savannah branch of the National League on Urban Con- ditions Among Negroes) and the Hub- bard hospital, Nashville, Tenn. Of the 774 men registered at the shop there were 156 West Indians and 605 of American birth. Of these men 50 per cent were voters. The staff of the shop consisted of Miss Louise R. Lati- mer, superintendent; Mrs. C. L. Win- ston, supervising nurse; Alonzo DeG. Smith, clerk, and Mrs. E. A. Cum- mings, matron. Volunteer service was provided by the Utopia Neighborhood club and from the St. Philip’s parish. When the shop closed only 250 men were employed, none being turned away. When the shop opened on Feb. 10 it rapidly increased in size until its capacity of 350 was taxed and men were being turned away at the rate of from 250 to 350 per day, Approxt- mately 525 of the men registered at the shop have secured employment. ‘The National League on Urban Con- ditions has, in addition to the manage- ment of the shop, been active in se- curing employment for colored people in other directions during the financial depression of the winter. Since Jan. 1 more than 500 different indivtIuals have been secured positions other th:tn those referred to above. Fifty two girls and women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five are being paid $3 per week for six weeks while beins taught domestic science. Other classes will be formed when these girls have completed their courses ! COURAGE OF MAJOR MOTON. ‘Tells How to Better Conditions. Robert R. Moton, commandant of ca- dets at the Hampton (Va.) Institute and president of the Necro Organiza- uon Society of Virginia, said receutly before the Portsmouth (Va. meeving of the Virginia conference of chari- es and corrections (hat a saccessful Attempt bas been made to feierate. | the organizations mainttined amon. the colored people in Virginia for tie ‘purpose of socitl betterment. ‘The motto of the Organization Society of Virginia {is “Better Homes.

Sunday sebools, se cret societies—a name legion in Vir -ginfa—social and literary organizations women’s clubs, farmers’ conferences and teachers’ associations. | Major Moton’s Portsmouth sprect was in part as follows: "The cordial spirit in which theme > ganizations have accepted the concerted movement for race progress las been ‘source of gratification to all who have been working with it More significant. however, than the cordial attitude of the ‘colored people 4s the splendid way In which the white péople of Virsinia, including the (press, pulpit, educators and social work- @rs generally have backed us up In what we ave been trying tw do.

The state, city and courts boards of health have Gone ‘everything peesibie to make the cleanup eampulsns successful To the white people of Virginia there is an untold value in having clean surround nee for the Nexto. peoplesurroundinas that are clean physically and morally.

While the Negroes are powerless to help themaelves ‘The white people of Virginia who have in their hands the making and the exe- cuting of laws should see to it, for their own self Interest if for no other reason, that the Negro sections are clean and healthy and, above all, clean morally. The best people of Virginia, for the sake of humanits, want the Negro to be clean and healthy. They want the Negro to be clean for citizenship in ite most useful sense. The Negro Organtzation society has been able to get colored people to build sani- tary toilets In ten counties. During a sin- gle cleanup week It has Inspired 170,090 Negroes to clean up thelr premises. It has helped in the erection of model schools in fourteen communities. 5 Major Moton’s words made such a strong appeal to Dr. J. T. Mastin, sec- retary of the state board of charities at Richmond, Va., that Dr. Mastin asked for a summary to be printed in the of- ficial proceedings of the Virginia Con- ference of Charities and Correction. Southern men and women are coming to appreciate the justice in the oppost- tion to legal segregation.

Denver has some of the finest set of women in the West. They are loyal, patriotic, progressive and industrious, always working for the betterment and advancement of the race. In order to stimulate a greater desire and keener interest in the beauty of home, its congenial surroundings and our civic pride, certain women's clubs of this city have a contest between the owners of beautiful lawns, gardens, back yards, etc. Until the race as a whole educates itself in the ways of civic pride and learns to apply the principles of those ways to its everyday life it will continually injure the value of property in whatever section of the city it resides. It is to be admitted that race prejudice has a depreciative effect upon property values, but there are other agencies involved that are quite within our powers to control that aid in this loss of values. The crux of the whole matter lies in our own disinclination to improve our neighborhood and our own immediate surroundings. All of us to some degree or less are at fault, but this fault is easily remedied. Clivic pride means merely this: A manifested interest in making your particular neighborhood a decent place to live in. This interest shows itself in grassy front plats, flowery back yards, with all rubbish and old papers carefully removed to the garbage barrel; clean alleyways, unmarked and unscratched hallways, clean basements, washed windows, etc. In addition to these personal things come those that are personal, such as dress, speech and actions around the premises. Many of our best avenues have been spoiled by an unsightly garbage, waste and dump heap, while at the same time our back yards are indescribable. On the other hand, good neighborhoods have been given bad names because of improvident speech and actions of certain residents. These things, small as they may seem, have an important bearing on the present conditions. Any reliable real estate man will bear witness to this fact. When we can develop civic pride our presence in any section will not bankrupt the realty dealer. Furthermore, with this taste developed, we will attract values.

H-O-W-A-R-D WORK OF ZEALOUS LEADER. Fine Career of Dr. S. L. Corrothers as a Minister. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Philadelphia.—One of the most courageous churchmen in the race is the Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. church in this city. Dr. Corrothers is doubtless one of the most versatile puliteers that the race has produced. He is unswerving in what he believes to be his duty and is uncompromising on the things that he believes make for the best good of the race. He is one of the most prominent of the Zion clergymen. At the last general conference in Charlotte he received a large number of votes for the bishopric. Dr. Corrothers has been pastor of the Varick church for two years, and during that time he has made a good record. The Varick church is one of the leading churches in the Zion connection. Its property is valued at $150,000. The church has a membership of 700,300 of whom were added to the church since Dr. Corrothers has taken charge. The church is one of the leading centers for spiritual and intellectual uplift in the city, and the national prominence of its pastor attracts to the meetings many influential persons. One of the most noted movements in the history of the church was the inaugurating of a special religious campaign which lasted seven weeks. During the campaign there were 700 converts. This campaign attracted wide attention throughout the city, and perhaps one of the most notable incidents in connection with the campaign was the visit of a white man to the church who became so interested that he subscribed $20,000 to the support of the church. The young man was invited by Bishop Walters. Dr. Corrothers has pastored some of the leading churches in the connection with eminent success. He was assisted in his campaign by Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, the noted evangelist of Washington. For twelve years Dr. Corrothers was the pastor of the Galbraith Zion church in Washington, and his record at this church was splendid. He was born in Yorkville, S. C., and was educated at Philander Smith college, in Little Rock, Ark., and Roberts college in Elmira, N. Y., where he made a special study of political science. He is prominent in all movements having for their aim the uplift of the Negro and is solicitous of the political welfare of the race. He is an active member of the Independent Political league. His political career has brought him in intimate contact with some of the leading men of the nation, among them ex-presidents Taft, Roosevelt, Champ Clark and the Hon. J. B. Foraker. Among these men of national character Dr. Corrothers is regarded in the very highest light. The home life of Dr. Corrothers is brightened by a cultured family who are reflecting great credit upon him. His daughters are well educated and cultured young women and found in various useful occupations through the country. His oldest daughter is Mrs. Eva White, whose husband is a professor in Wilberforce university. His daughter Julia is a teacher of drawing in the high school at Oklahoma City, and Miss Thomasine is a teacher in the public school at Washington. Few men in the race have won for themselves a higher place in the national uplift of the race and few are more beloved in his church than Dr. Corrothers. He stands ready to advance the cause of Zion, and his fearlessness will stand him in good stead for the higher place that awaits him in his church. HAMPTON STUDENTS WIN DEBATE FROM ST. AUGUSTINE Literary Societies of Well Known Schools Discuss Labor Unions. A debating team selected from the two Hampton institute literary societies met and defeated at the May meeting a strong trio from St. Augustine, Raleigh, N. C. "Resolved, That labor unions are more harmful than beneficial to the working men in the United States." This is the stirring question which was ably handled by both teams. St. Augustine was represented by Ernest McDonald, David Harris, Jr., and Henry B. Delany, Jr. Each man spoke for twelve minutes and each side had six minutes for a single rebuttal address. Hampton institute's speakers were J. Russell Hyde, Percival L. Prattis and Theron N. Williams. The St. Augustine team maintained that the labor union is wrong in principle, wrong in methods of work and bad in result. The members handled themselves well on the platform and debated in an able fashion. They were accompanied to Hampton by the Rev. E. H. Gould, who is the associate principal of St. Augustine school, and Professor R. B. Jefferson, who is in charge of the social science department. President J. M. Gandy, Professor J. B. Simpson and Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris served as judges. In coming to their decision the judges counted sixty points to the argument, twenty for stage presence and twenty for the English used by the debaters. They unanimously decided in favor of Hampton. The score was, St. Augustine 75.66 and Hampton 82 per cent. The St. Augustine-Hampton debate was the first interscholastic debate ever engaged in by Hampton. So much interest has been aroused in debating by the interscholastic contests and this recent victory over St. Augustine's strong team that the Hampton boys will undoubtedly engage in other interscholastic debates. HIGH HONOR FOR SCIPIO A. JONES CASE WHERE MERIT COUNTS Municipal Court Judge Fred A. Isgrig Disqualified to Sit In Case of Arkansas Against Edward Walker at Little Rock, Jones Received Vote of All Lawyers in the Court. Little Rock, Ark.-The selection of Sciplo A. Jones, the well known attorney of this city, recently as a special municipal court judge to preside in the case of the state of Arkansas against Edward Walker, charged with a serious offense, aroused considerable interest among the legal profession and the general public throughout this city and state. Municipal Judge Fred A. Isgrig, disqualified in the case because W. A. Singfield, attorney for the defendant, had filed suit in his own behalf against Judge Isgrig, which suit still remained on the court calendar. The new municipal court law of the state requires that when a judge is disqualified to sit in a case coming be- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN SCIPIO A. JONES, ESQ. Sore him a special judge shall be selected by members of the bar present in the court at the time when a case requiring the selection of such special judge comes to trial. When Judge Isgrig announced his disqualification in the case because of the suit which Lawyer Singfield had against him the lawyers present in the court called for the election of a special judge. Thomas Donahoe, clerk of the court, requested nominations and conducted the election according to the provisions of the new municipal court law. Attorney Scipio A. Jones was nominated by the city attorney and voted for by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Hale and all the lawyers in attendance. This is the first instance in the history of Little Rock, if not in the whole state, in which a colored lawyer has served as a judge in a court with such high standing as the municipal court in this city. The selection of Lawyer Jones to serve as special judge in a southern court shows that there are white men in this city who will recognize a man for his character, worth and ability rather than for his color. Selpio A. Jones of this city was admitted to the Pulaski circuit court in this state June 15, 1889.

SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM CURABLE. Rheumatism is a disease characterized by pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheumatic Headaches, Sclatic Rheumatism and Lumbago. All of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good liniment that penetrates. An application of Sloan's Liniment two or three times a day to the affected part will give instant relief. Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain, because it penetrates to the seat of the trouble, soothes the afflicted part and draws the pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all medicine."

Phone Main 7702 IMPORTANT POST FOR C.F. SIMMONS Educator Appointed Postmaster at Boley, Okla. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES The Selection of a Former Langton University Professor For Federal Office Meet With Public Favor—Energetic Leader In Many Good Movements For Racial Advancement. Boley, Okla.—Among the few men who have received recognition at the hands of President Wilson is Professor Caesar F. Simmons, who was for some time connected with Langton university and who is a man of rare ability and worth. His life has been spent in the south, and he is well trained for his work. He is a native of Galensville, Ala. He has written some good poetry and is well known for his scholarly attainments. He was the choice of many for the position of minister to Liberia, but President Wilson saw fit to appoint him postmaster of this town, which is strictly a town of the race, by the race and for the race. Mr. Simmons got his early education in the schools of Mississippi and Alabama. He graduated from the high school of Meridian, Miss., took a course in Emerson institute, Mobile Ala., and at the Mississippi State Normal school, Holly Springs, which institution was closed by Governor Var daman. His finishing touch was received at Tougaloo university, Tonga loo, Miss. Thirty-two years of his life have been spent in teaching and as a teacher he established a fine reputation. The people in recommending him for the position of minister to Liberia had the following to say about him: "His character stands without blench. He is courteous and an exceptionally well educated member of his race. A. B. PROFESSOR CAESAR F. SIMMONS. which he has demonstrated in each of the above named states. He is intellectually great, practical, uses common sense, has splendid ability, unquestioned integrity, is a good business man and progressive in the true sense of the applied term." Professor Simmons is a local minister in the Methodist Episcopal church, district Sunday school superintendent of the Guthrie (Okla.) district and is a Christian gentleman. His entire life has been spent in work among the people, and he has been an inspiration to the young people, because in what he accomplished others have thought it possible for them to follow him. He has by actual work made himself well known throughout the country. He has filled the positions of president and organizer of temperance societies, an expounder of the moral and religious uplift of his race and an uncompromising contender for pure leadership for his people among the ministers and teachers. It has been said of him that he has never crossed the Mason and Dixon line. He is therefore conversant on conditions in the south. If the race has suffered he has been one of the sufferers, and if it has made any progress and enjoys peace and happiness he has been in that enjoyment and pleasure. His work among the people has brought to him and the race many friends, and he has materially contributed to the adjustment of racial troubles. He has advocated a friendly relation between the races and the settlement of differences under the influence of the religion of Jesus Christ, claiming that the shotgun never corrected a wrong and never would. For a long time Professor Simmons held a professorship in the Langston university with Professor Inman E. Page. It was while in the schoolroom that a letter was handed him containing his commission and appointment to the position of postmaster of Boley, Okla. He was not looking for it and had not applied for the position. But the postmaster general, knowing personally of the worth and work of Professor Simmons, sent him the appointment. He resigned his professorship in Langston university and at once took hold of the duties of the new position, in which he is making good. He leaves the university with the best wishes of the president and members of the faculty. EXPOSITION TO OPEN ON JULY 5 Richmond, Va., to Witness an Elaborate Celebration. GILES B. JACKSON'S PLUCK Great State and National Function Planned to Show the Progress of the Race Since 1865—Negro Historical and Industrial Association Asks City Council's Aid. Richmond, Va.—The commissioners in charge of the plans and arrangements for holding the state and national exposition in this city to show the progress which our people have made during the past half century have selected Monday, July 5, as opening day. The celebration will run for three weeks, closing on Tuesday, July 27. The Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition will be held, has petitioned the finance committee of the city council through its president, the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, for an appropriation of $10,000 toward the general expenses of the celebration. The text of the petition as presented by Mr. Jackson is as follows: "To the Honorable Board of Aldermen and City Council of the City of Richmond, Va.: "Gentlemen—There will be held in the city of Richmond at the state fair grounds from the 5th of July to the 27th of July an exposition and celebration in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and achievements of the Negro. We lay emphasis upon the word achievements because the main purpose of this exposition is to show to the world the marvelous progress made by the Negroes of this country, especially in the southern states and the state of Virginia, within the past fifty years. "This exposition was conceived by the brain of those most anxious for the white people of this country and especially those of the north and west, to view the progress of the Negro and see how much he has advanced in the last fifty years. We want to dispel the idea that exists in the minds of some who are not so well acquainted with the black man and the relation of the two races in the south. We want to show that the Negro is not hindered from making industrial progress in this section. "It is for this reason that the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices this exposition is to be held, appealed to the national government for the means by which to create this exposition, and in answer to their prayer an appropriation of $55,000 was made at the time we applied for the amount. At that time we had the promises of certain large corporations that they would contribute largely to the fund we were raising, an additional sum of $50,000, but no sooner had the appropriation been made by congress when the European war broke out, and the corporations which made these promises asked to be excused because of the financial depression which affected their business affairs; hence we fell short of the amount we hoped to realize. "It is needless for me to say that to promote an exposition of this character, which embodies all the states in the Union, would of itself cost within the neighborhood of $50,000, including the shipping and returning of the exhibits, therefore you will see that we are in need of an additional fund to carry out the purposes of our association. Then the fact that President Wilson promised a committee, which waited on him on Nov. 5, 1914, that he would be present some day during the existence of the exposition, if not at the opening, causes us to make special efforts to make this exposition a success. "We have extended invitations to the governors of the different states and also to a number of senators and representatives of congress who have promised to be present. Therefore we will have a number of distinguished white gentlemen to entertain. While they will come upon our invitation, yet they must be entertained by you. Now that the exposition will be held in the city of Richmond, bringing to this city thousands of white and colored people, and when the people come to the exposition they come to spend money among the citizens of Richmond we will need an additional fund to carry out the scope and plan of our exposition. "We feel that, whereas the Negro pays tax on $3,180,662 worth of property in the city of Richmond, which is direct tax and contributes so largely to the indirect taxes of this city, we would be justified in asking that you appropriate at least $10,000, to be expended through the same channel as $55,000 is being expended by the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under the direct supervision of the governor of the state of Virginia, and also an additional amount to be expended by your committee for entertaining the president and the other visitors above referred to. "We hope that you will see your way clear to make this appropriation, as this is the first time in the history of the city of Richmond that the colored man has asked for such an appropriation, and we feel that the occasion justifies not only the amount of $10,000, but more."

GALLS LEADERS TO ACCOUNT Public Spirited Citizens In Virginia Are Making Strong Campaign For Reduction of High Death Rate. Percentage of Infant Mortality Causes Much Alarm. Norfolk, Va—Dr. A. Lyman Paes and his wife may well be counted among the public =pirited colored peo: ple of Norfolk. ‘They have been per- sistently active iu calling attention to conditions sinon:: our people that need improvement. ant tey have worked wisely with their fellow cifizens in se- curing soine civic improvements, Dr. Puey believes that much of the suffering and poverty among colored people is cansed by preventable dis- abilities aud premiture deaths, which reduce a large portion of the race to indigence and hinder the real progress that its members <hould make to keep pace with civilization. ‘There is being waged in Virginia au active crusade for the reduction of the death rate. That this work is timely 1s clear from the fact that Norfolk. with an estimated population of 86,500, of which 35,000 are colored, had deaths among the latter to exceed those among the former by 226. In Rich- mond there should have been 500 few er deaths, according to the ratio of colored people tn the city’s popula tion. In Virginia between eleven and twelve white people in every thousand die annually. Between twenty-two and twenty-three colored people in ev ery thousand die annually. Both races og cS is yo. are living under the same climatic conditions. This difference in the death rate is due to overcrowding, Ig: norance of sanitary laws and the fail ure to properly observe the laws of nature. Dr. Paey points out that the death rate among the bables of the colored people isfive to one as compared with the white people. Some 2,500 colored babies are victims of eviis worse than wart—namely, ignorance, superstition, patent medicines, home remedies, un wholesome food, insanitary surround: ings, overcrowding, bad air, darkness and dark living rooms, He also recently said in a public ad dress: “Physicians, ministers, teachers. lawyers, business men and intelligent laymen who are members of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia ought to consider it one of their duties as well as privileges to:teach the colored people how to decrease the amount of preventable disease and premature death. ‘The congenital powers of the young should be so conserved as to in sure x normal Ife from birth to old age. “The colored people must be taught that consumption is catching and is more deadly and more to be dreaded than smallpox. They must be taught the value of fresh alr, the tmportance of having-a pure water supply, the value of screening against insects, the proper ways of disposing of sarbage, the care of back yards, comrzon sense in dressing and eating, the dangers of the housefly asx a carrier of disease germs, especially typhoid fever and consumption; proper methods of drain- age, 90 ax to do away with the breed- ing places of mosquitoes; the value of vaccination, the dangers of patent med- {eines and home remedies, as well as af supernatural or occult remedies, and the importance of seeking the best medical aid during the early stages of their {IIness.”” Funds Raised For the Aged and Infirm.

Mr. Marks also said that he was proud that he was a Jew. In beginuing his address Dr. Washing- ton said: “I am mighty glad to hear Mr. Marks say that he is proud of his race. I, too, am proud of my rece and wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America, and I don’t want to know any man who is ashamed of the race to which he belongs. | “Our people in a big northern city lke this have their own special prob lems to solve, just as we have our own problems down south, but you must ‘always remember that we are one -race and that what hurts you here hurts us down south and what helps us down there helps you here. One of Your greatest problems is that of re- adjustment. Settle down and get iden- ‘tified with some one place; then build “up there reputations for sobriety and industry. If you can’t find the right ees in the city go to a small town /near by or get back to the soil. At any rate, settle down and get hold of ees property and start a bank ac- count. You will soon find that your | savings are growing and that you are growing faster and bigger than the bank account.” | ‘The third great meeting was held at the Abyssinian Baptist church in West Fortieth street, Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell minister, at 4 o'clock. This as- semblage was held under the auspices of the Youns Women’s Christian asso- | elation, and Mrs. E. S. Ransom pre- | sided. The fourth and closing meeting was held at the Concord Baptist chureb, in Brooklyn, amd was presided over by the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, minister of the church. Major R. R. Moton made the address introducing Dr. Washington in his usual forceful, happy manner. The audience filled ev- ery available space in the auditorium, lecture room and aisles of the chureb, and the crowd outside extended for nearly a block north and south of the edifice. Dr. Washington delivered a masterly address and was wildly | ebeered. | Dr. Washington sald the New York [colored man cannot be downed. If he | fails today he will rise tomorrow. [“Dhis is the best country our race knows. We may curse it sometimes, but we stay here. I do not mean to say that we do not have difficulties to overcome, injustices, opposition and op: pression to surmount, but despite these the 10,000,000 of our people have made | more progress than any similar people in the world. ‘The colored people of | Virginia own one-tenth of all the farm- ing land in that state. They pay taxes ‘on $54,000,000 worth of property. ‘The white man has increased his farming lands 90 per cent, and those of the col- | ored man have increased 123 per cent.” Santamarina Speaks on Race Question. ‘The race question and how it has been solved in South and Centrai America was the subject of an in. structive address delivered by Senor J.

BEATEN AND LEFT TOWN At the residence of Eugene Carter on Glenarm Place last Thursday night happened one of the funniest and yet most pleasant stags ever given at Five Points. One popular and celebrated team of whist players took four hours trying to get out of the cellar, where they started and ended, and so disgusted and humiliated was each over the game that one left the city immediately afterwards and the other player attempted suicide by over-eating. What he lacked in whist knowledge he made up in eating. The stag for twelve can never be forgotten because of the speeches, funny stories, repartees and dignified orations on the Italo-German war.—By Golddust Cellar Champions. WHY PAY RENT?
