Denver Star

The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star IF METHODIST BODIES CONSOLIDATE, WHAT BECOMES OF THE NEGRO FOLLOWER? Huge Body Which Assembles in Baltimore Has Two Colored Men Representing Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Colored Members. Ashville, N. C., Dec. 11 The joint commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will meet in Baltimore, December 28th, to bring about, if possible, the union of these two great branches of Methodism. This merger, discussed pro and con with varied warmth and emotions during the past twenty years has been rendered probable by legislative action of the general conferences of the two churches. Just what effect the union of these churches will have upon the more than 350,000 colored communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church is problematical and is considerable attention among thoughtful people of the race as the time for the commission meeting approaches. The original one body of Methodists suffered division in 1844 over the fact that a white bishop became involved in slavery by marrying a wife who had one colored girl named Kitty as a slave. Thus seventy-two years ago the white people of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, parted company with the colored as the innocent occasion of the division. Now that the reunion of these two branches of Methodism is imminent, the relation of the colored man to the reunited church is one of the innocent causes involved. Upon the commission representing the Methodist Church are two prominent men of the race, Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate New Orleans, and Dr. I. Garland Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, Cincinnati, Drs. Jones and Penn represent the ministry and laity respectively upon the commission, but beyond that they are the sole representatives of the 350,000 colored members in the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose fortunes in a large measure will be affected. It is quite the understanding that these distinguished colored leaders were placed upon the interests of the colored members would be safeguarded The assignment is an important and responsible one, for there has been no such historic commission touching the religious and educational life of the nation since emancipation. Both the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, A Merry Christmas To All The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 SUPREME COMMANDER WHITE OF THE AMERICAN WOODMEN Tells of Southern Conditions Now In Christian America Mr. C. M. White of the American Woodmen is with us again after a sojourn of four months in the far south in the interest of the order. He brings two boxes of oranges and grape fruit, consequently there is much rejoicing at home and the office for these oranges are much sweeter than the ones found on the market. Mr. White reports squally times throughout the Gulf states east of the Mississippi on account of the great exodus to the North, which is taking place among the colored people and deplored by the whites of that section to the extent that they are using every means to prevent them from going. Every city has passed laws forbidding any agent the privilege of soliciting colored people for Northern work and in many places the police have been armed with magazine rifles to forcibly prevent migration. Police officers hang around the depots and if a colored man buys a ticket for a Northern destination he is promptly arrested for "loitering" and locked up and when he is let out the ticket has quite mysteriously disappeared. Every strange colored man is watched and if the idea gets out that he is in any way encouraging the exodus his life becomes unsafe. In order to hold their jobs or place of leadership among the colored people many of the "B N's" are publicly advising them to stay where they are as the Southern white man is their "best friend." Still the exodus continues in one way or another and when spring opens it promises to take on proportions yet unheard of. Because of this shifting to the North of so many of the better class of colored people of the Southeast the American Woodmen is preparing to open up business in most of the Northern states. Mr. White will meet the local camp at 2630 Welton on regular meeting night, Thursday, 28th inst., and asks all to be present as some very vital changes are to be discussed in regard to the order here. subscribe to a plan of unification by reorganization in which each, it is supposed will lose identity in the unified church. Both have stated their positions as to the Negro. The Southern church prefers that the 350,000 colored members in the Methodist Episcopal Church shall be organized into a separate and independent body, holding only fraternal relations to the unified white body, if such union should be accomplished. The Methodist Episcopal Church, at its general conference in Saratoga last May stated its position as follows: That the colored people should be a part of the reunited church with representation in general conference and supported its position by naming these two colored men on its commission to meet the white commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South The members of the commission are clergymen and business men representing every section of the country. Horace D. Slatter DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 23, 1916 DISCUSSING THE NEGRO Race Question Looms Up In Congress and Church Conferences. Jews and Negroes Discussed. Washington,—Unexpected opposition to the immigration bill developed in the senate, blocking progress on the measure and leading to a general argument over the question of exclusion of aliens on account of race. Senator Works started the discussion by giving notice that he reserved the right to demand a separate vote on a senate committee amendment, providing for the exclusion of Hindus and other Asiatics by prescribing geographical areas from which immigrants shall not admitted without enumerating races. The amendment, recommended by the state department after inquiries had been made by the Japanese government respecting provisions of the bill as it passed the house, eliminates all reference to the Root-Takahira passport agreement regulating Japanese immigration. Works insisted that this would leave the United States at the mercy of Japanese dictation as to immigration from that country. As treaty rights are involved, the senate went into executive session for the debate, which lasted more than an hour without a vote. In open session Senator Reed offered an amendment to include the continent of Africa within the limits set by the committee. He said he would favor any legislation which would keep out of the United States any persons not of pure white blood, but he did not think it proper for congress "to exclude by law and admit by diplomacy" "I believe," said Reed, "the time has come when we ought to keep our country from being filled up with people not capable of becoming first class citizens of the United States, people who by birth, environments and disposition or by their great ignorance are not qualified to perform the duties of citizens." Answering a question of Senator Gallinger as to whether Jews might not be as well excluded as Negroes, Reed said: "The Jews by race and by blood have been civilized for thousands of years. They sprang from the race that gave us our religion and the fundamentals of our laws. I am not seeking to open the old black and white issues in this country. It is plain that we should make an effort to protect our citizenship from an influx of undesirables and keep out all not capable of thorough amalgamation." Senator Smith in charge of the bill, produced statistics to show that in the last ninety-five years there have been only 12,000 immigrants from Africa to this country. "What you are really proposing in this amendment," suggested Senator Vardaman, "is to exclude people on account of race." "I suspect you are right," said Smith, adding: "All we have tried to do is to avoid racial complication without running into national complications." Vardaman introduced an amendment, setting forth that there is some doubt whether the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, enfranchising the Negro, were properly adopted, and directing the attorney general to lay the question before the supreme court to have it ascertain whether they were made parr of the constitution in the manner provided for constitutional changes. The Senate, by a vote of 37 to 32, a rejected Senator Reed's amendment to the immigration bill excluding all natives of Africa. The West Indies exclusion amendment was lost, 36 to 28. Amendments offered by Senator Reed of Missouri to extend exclusion to natives of Africa and all but white natives of the West Indies and islands of the Atlantic ocean, when rejected. Ransom Defends Negro. The Federal council of the churches of Christ in America which held its third Quadrennial Convention in St. Louis Ma., December 6th—11th is composed of thirty Protestant denomination, which contain 103,108 ministers, 138,870 churches and 17,436,650 communicants. The race question was introduced into its deliberations through the presentation of the "Report of the committee on Negro churches," headed by Bishop William P. Thirkield, as chairman. The paragraph which percipitated the debat is as follows: "There is also among the Negroes an increasing distrust of the White race, and a growing contempt for its religion and sense of justice—feelings which are breeding a new spirit of antagonism and aggression. And thru all this tangle of suspicion and hatred, in this professedly Christian land, mob violence stalks unpunished, deepening the Negroes' distrust and inflaming the worst passions of the lawless whites." The most dramatic scene that was created during the entire sessions of the Council occured on Friday afternoon and came as a climax to the debates which had preceded it. The St. Louis Republic reported it as follows: The Federal Council again became quite disturbed thru a dramatic debate on the race question. The air was tense at times, when white and Negro members argued back and forth over conditions in the Southland. Several times efforts were made to head off the debate. It arose over the question whether or not the word "negro" should be used instead of "colored" in designating the name of a special committee interested in the study of the "colored" churches of America. It was proposed to the word "negro." This became the signal for the remarkable debate. The debate went far afield. The whole question of the relations between negroes and the whites in the South, was flung into the air. Rev. Dr. W. D. Bradfield of Dallas, Texas, noted Methodist minister, said that while lynching was indefensible, yet its provocation was great. Up sprang Rev. R. C. Ransom of the African Methodist Church and challenged Dr. Bradfield's statement. Efforts by parliamentary devices to cut off the debate failed, until the negro minister had his say. He shocked his white hearers when he described, in detail, the slaughter of negroes for various reasons. He said. "Here you gentlemen are telling us that the European war is the challenge to American Christianity, when 250,000 negroes are fleeing north ward for their very lives. Is not that the real challenge to Christianity?" Galveston, Texas,—When full citizenship was granted to Abdul Ganis Mondul, native of Calcutta, by Judge Clay Stone yesterday, exception to the ruling was entered by M. H. Antoni, United States naturalization examiner. Mr. Anthoni said the case would be appealed to the United States Supreme Court in order to get a final ruling on the question of what persons are to be classed as "white" in administering naturalization laws. FIVE CENTS A COPY. WORDS OF PHILLIPS BROOKS Law Student Ross Applies Them to Present Conditions of Negroes. To the Editor: December 13, 1835, Phillips Brooks, the great American orator, pulpiteer and churchman, was born. Therefore, to give mental background to the present local and national conflict of ideas and ideals, and to give service to the spotlight of the search ing student of sociology, kind y permit me in memory of his great work and value to offer the following excerpt from Dr. Brooks' great oration "Lincoln as a Typical American," which I believe will greatly clear the mental atmosphere for Michigan's unknowning and misinformen "There was no one American character embracing the land. There were two characters, with impulses of irrepressible and deadly conflict. One nature was true and fresh and new, there was another nature, false and effete and old. The one nature found itself in a new world, and set itself to discover the new ways for the new duties that were given it. The other nature, full of false pride of blood, set itself to reproduce in a new world the institutions and the spirit of the old, to build anew the structure of the feud olism, which had been corrupt in its own day, and which had been left far behind by the advancing conscience and needs of the progressive race. The one nature magnified labor, the other nature deprecated and despised it, the one honored the laborer, and the other scorned him. The one was simple and direct; the other complex, full of sophistries and self-excuses. The one was free to look all that claimed to be truth in the face, and separate the error from the truth that might be in it; the other did not dare to investigate, because its own established prides and systems were dearer to it than the truth itself, and so even truth went about in it doing the work of error. The one was ready to state broad principles of the Brotherhood of man, the universal fatherhood of justice of God, however imperfectly it might realize them in practice; the other denied even the principles, and so dug deep and laid below its special sins the broad foundation of a consistent ac knowledged sintulness. In a word, one nature was full of the influences of freedom, and the other nature was full of the influences of slavery." Yours in the world-wide spirit of progress, equality and humanity.thru the agency of government, of laws and principles, not of imperfect men. ALFRED F. Ross.

Notable progress is being made this term at the West Virginia Collegiate institute at Institute, W. Va. The president of this thrifty school, Professor Byrd Prillerman, has used every available means to put the work on a substantial basis, and he has succeeded admirably. Less than two years ago the institution was raised to college rank and now has thirty-three students doing college work out of an enrollment of 386, which is the largest in the history of the school. The number of students in the college department not only shows the wisdom of the governor and other state authorities in raising the school to college rank, but shows high appreciation on the part of our young men and women of the opportunity afforded to pursue the higher branches at their own state institutions. The first three months of the present school year register the most commendable effort on the part of President Prillerman and faculty to get the very best results from students in all departments. Graduates of the institute consider it an honor to advance from the normal to the college grade at their alma mater. This is a noteworthy sign of progress and confidence on the part of students in the ability of the institution to meet their needs. An Eye Opener. Miss Oldsmith - Yes.

FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOSTON GUARDIAN FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOSTON GUARDIAN Many Notable Speakers Applaud Work of Editor W. M. Trotter. Boston.—The monster celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Boston Guardian, held at Zion church, in this city, recently, breathed with the spirit of loyalty to the Guardian and the principles it stands for, "For every right with all our might." The occasion was a veritable love feast for the interested friends who have fought the race battles for equality of rights and against the wrongs of segregation and discrimination, jimcrow cars and all other race discriminations wherever found, without compromise and without fear. The speakers recalled many of the stirring scenes of the past fifteen years, each one recording a memorable battle or a memorable victory for the cause of equality of citizenship and affirming those policies and principles of action on the part of the members of the race brotherhood everywhere which would give assurance of the strengthening and securing of the rights we now enjoy and carry us forward in the line of conquest of other privileges and liberties until full equality of privilege and opportunity shall be accorded to every member of the race in every part of this broad land. Among the speakers were Dr. C. P. Russell, W. Hall Jackson, Miss Eliza Gardner, Rev. A. W. Puller, Rev. M. W. Thornton, Rev. W. D. Brigham, Dr. Alice McKane, G. R. Margetson, Rev. H. W. Swain, Hon. Moorfield Storey, Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, J. S. Gains, Hon. W. H. Lewis, Emery T. Morris, Miss Elizabeth C. Putnam, C. H. Seales, Esq., A. A. Perry and W. M. Trotter. The dramatic moment came when Chairman Russell introduced Hon. William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States, one of the chief objects of the Guardian's attacks for some years. He was given great applause and spoke very impressively and eloquently, saying that he was glad to come into the church in which he presided at a meeting where Mr. Trotter took issue with a former race leader. He spoke of the beginnings, when he was present at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Trotter in their beautiful home on the hill and paid Mrs. Trotter a delicate compliment. He spoke of working with Trotter against "The Birth of a Nation" and pledged co-operation. The speaker in calm retrospect recited many of the stirring scenes and events when the Guardian and its faithful friends in Boston were making race history, such as the founding of the paper by its present editor, William M. Trotter and others, the controversy with Booker T. Washington at Zion church, when Editor Trotter was arrested and sent to jail; the fight against the photo play "Birth of a Nation," the celebrated Bosfield case, etc. But by far the most interesting and important feature of this celebration was the coming together of the several opposing factions of Boston's colored citizens, who had been split asunder and fighting for the several conflicting issues that had been raised among them. Here in this celebration the big chiefs buried the hatchet and smoked together the pipe of peace, and now the spirit of good fellowship once more reigns supreme. With a united front and unbroken ranks they once more turn to renew the warfare against race discrimination, segregation and lynching. This fact is prophetic of a brightening future. This is the springtime of the race's hopes in America, and the Guardian must plant the seeds of hope in the heart of every reader and water them with words of wisdom and the inspiration of lofty ideals of citizenship full and complete. Nothing less is the goal to be striven for. May it carry high the watchword inscribed on its banner. "For every right with all our might." ATLANTA UNIVERSITY FUND. Neted Southern School Starts Campaign to Raise $500,000 Endowment.

South Fears Shortage of Farm Labor Fearing that a shortage of labor for the 1917 cotton and tobacco crops may result from the large numbers of colored people which have left the south the past eight months of 1916, an effort is being made to stop the exodus of southern laborers going north. At Atlanta, Ga., both white and colored leaders held a series of mass meetings the early part of December in an effort to check the movement. CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER Cor. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt.

Shawkey, Delivers Timely Address on "The Makeup of the Teacher" — Professor Byrd Prillerman's Loyalty to the Association. Institute, W. Va.—The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the West Virginia Teachers' association was held at the Collegiate institute in this town from Thursday, Nov. 30, through to Friday night, Dec. 1, with the largest attendance in its history. J. W. Moss of Kimball, W. Va., president of the association, presided, and Miss Etta Hall of Montgomery, this state, recorded. Thanksgiving morning was devoted to registration of teachers, song service and a Thanksgiving sermon by the Rev. W. C. Thompson, pastor of the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church of Charleston. The afternoon session opened with selections by the Collegiate institute's orchestra and a vocal duet by Miss Charlotte Campbell and C. E. Jones. The address of welcome was delivered by Professor Byrd Prillerman, and the response was given by Lee A. Toney. Miss Mollie Robinson rendered a very fine vocal solo. The subject for discussion was "The Gary System," which P. PROFESSOR A. W. CURTIS. was led by Mrs. M. M. Arter. There was an address by R. P. Sims, and the afternoon session closed with a selection by the Collegiate institute orchestra. The evening session was extremely interesting. The first speaker was D. C. Coleman, who read a well prepared and highly instructive paper on "The Meaning of School Efficiency." Don W. Jones did himself credit in rendering a violin solo. The height of interest was reached when the master of ceremonies announced the presence of Superintendent of Public Instruction the Hon. M. P. Shawkey, who delivered a most timely address on "The Makeup of the Teacher." Other persons who took part in the program were Miss Mollie Robinson, Miss Linda Scott and Mrs. E. M. Mitchell. Friday morning, from 8 to 9 o'clock, the teachers in a body visited the school plant. At 10 o'clock sectional meetings were held, with a joint "thrift session," which was presided over by Professor J. W. Scott. Other sessions held were primary, Mrs. W. D. Johnson, chairman; graded school sections, Professor A. S. Peal, chairman; high school section, Professor J. W. Robinson, chairman. Other phases of school management and methods of teaching were assigned to various groups of teachers. The principal address at the afternoon session was delivered by John M. Gaudy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute at Petersburg, Va. There was an interesting paper on "Playgrounds and School Libraries" read by L. Barnett and a piano duet by Miss Ethel Spriggs and Mrs. E. M. Mitchell. At the evening session the students of the vocal and pianoforte department of the institute gave a splendid recital, in which Don W. Jones assisted. The address was delivered by Professor C. G. Woodson of Washington. The association was organized in Charleston, Thanksgiving day, 1891, with Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, as its first president. He has been an officer in the association each year since that time. The next session will be held in Montgomery, Thanksgiving day, 1917. Professor A. W. Curtis, director of agriculture at the West Virginia Collegiate institute, was elected president for the ensuing year, and Miss Etta Hall was re-elected secretary. Mow to Step Southern Race Migration. Better educational advantages for the colored children of the rural districts of the south, better pay to wage earners and the wiping out of mob violence will go a long way toward stemming the tide of race migration from that section of our common country. These, with the full exercise of the ballot, according to law, will soon bring about better conditions for both races. HOT SPRINGS' ABLE BAPTIST LEADER Success of Dr. J. H. Henderson at Arkansas Resort. NONOR GRADUATE OF UNION Man Who Showed Signs of Thrift In Early Life on Plantation in Louisiana Attains to High Rank as Minister and Educator—Some of His Achievements. Hot Springs, Ark.-The old Independent plantation, near Bayou Sara, La., has the distinction of furnishing to the Baptists of America and to the colored race of America one of the strongest and most efficient pastors in the country in the person of the Rev. John Harris Henderson, D. D., pastor of Roanoke Baptist church, in this town. Dr. Henderson has won all the honors he enjoys, having worked his way from a plantation to prominence as a minister. His father, who belonged to the "old school," was both a minister and a farmer. His mother was a devout Christian woman. His early life was spent on the plantation, where he developed into a great woodchopper and ralsplitter. He has to his credit a record of having split over 400 rails a day. The elements of leadership were PETER H. REV. J. H. HENDERSON, D. D. soon recognized in him. He entered the public school in 1881 and made rapid progress. From the public schools he entered Howe institute. New Iberia, La., in 1891 and completed the course there in 1893. He afterward attended Leland university, from which he was graduated in 1898 and from which he received his diploma. When a lad he decided that he was going to remain in school until he had finished and was prepared to take his place among men. He also attended Union university, Richmond, Va., finishing with the degree of bachelor of divinity. With his graduation came the selection of a companion in life. He won the hand of Miss Fannie R. Butler, a graduate of Gilber academy, Baldwin, La. Dr. Henderson held the chair of theology at Coleman college, Gibaland, La., for a year. He distinguished himself as a theologian and a Bible scholar. The Thirteenth District academy demanded his services as president, and he responded to it. This school is located in Shreveport, La. He was there from 1903 to 1906. During his administration he raised money and purchased for the school 121 acres of land for farming purposes. During all this work he did not lose sight of his calling as a minister. He pastored Trinity Baptist church, which had only about 100 members and a very poorly constructed meeting house. This thrifty young minister added over 200 members to the church, and when he left them they had under his administration accumulated $8,000 worth of property. It was in 1908 that he founded Henderson chapel. This was bringing forth something new. He not only organized the church, but succeeded in securing $1,500 worth of real estate. During his pastorate at Minden, La., he erected the beautiful St. Rest Baptist church. This was between 1910 and 1913. His worth was recognized by the Baptists of the state of Louisiana, and he served as vice president of the state convention. It was in 1913 that Dr. Henderson accepted the call to the Roanoke Baptist church in this town. This congregation had the building craze, so to speak. The former pastor had already made a number of plans looking to the erection of a new edifice. Dr. Henderson took up where S. E. J. Watson left off and during 1915-16 erected a church edifice costing $35,000. A thing unknown in Hot Springs, Dr. Henderson raised in one collection $4,619.11. Honors have been bestowed upon him by the national Baptist convention. He is a member of the special committee to look after the building of a national theological seminary, and was commissioned a few weeks ago a member of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. He attended the meeting of that great body. Dec. 6, in St. Louis. Customary. Belle—I will give you my answer in six months, Jack. Jack—Couldn't you make it three— same as Bess has?—Exchange.

Among the social functions during Negro book week in New York (Dec. 17 to 25) was a luncheon given at Murray's by A. A. Schomburg, secre- tary of the Negro Soctety For Historl- cal Research, in honor of William Stan. ley Braithwaite, the Boston poet, and John EB. Bruce “Grit,” the well known writer. The gathering was siznificant of the growing inclination of members of the race who are interested in the same and similar lines of work to gei together for mutual interchange o views. As secretary of the Negro Society For Historical Research Mr. Scho: burg has done much good in bringin: to the fore many hitherto published and unpublished literary productions of the race which the public would oth. erwise not have known. The society Is still active In its collection of mat ter relating to racial achievements. Through its announcements at public gatherings and through the press this new material gets into circulation, Bruce “Grit” is now a resident of New York city and has his habitat at 2109 Madison avenue. He is president of the society and has, possibly, the most extensive foreign correspondence of any man of the race engaged in lit erary work. New Regime at Salem Baptist Church.

EFFORT TO HEAL METHODISTBREACH North and South Branches of Church Will Met, PARTED BY THE MEGRO. | Asheville, N. (.—The joint commis- sion of the Methodist Episcopal cburch and the Methodist Episcopal Church South will/meet in Baltimore Dec. 28 to bring about if possible the unton of these two great branches of Metho- dism. This merger, discussed pro and con with varied warmth and emotions ‘during the past twenty years, has been rendered probable by legislative action of the general conferences of the two churches. Just what effect the union of these churches will have ugon the more than 850,000 Negro communicants of the Methodist Episcopal church is prob- lematical and ig attracting consider- able attention among though: ful people of the race as the time for the commis. ston meeting approaches. The original one body of Methodists suffered division in 1844 over the fact that a white bishop became invoived in slavery by marrying a wife who had one Negro girl named Kitty as a slave. Thus seventy-two years ago the white people in the Methodist Episcobu! church, north and south, parted com- pany, with the Negro as the innocent occasion of the division. Now that the reunion of these two branches of Meth- odism 1s imminent the relation of the Negro to the reunited church 1s one of the innocent causes involved. Upon the commission representing the Methodist Episcopal church are two prominent men of the race, Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the SouthWestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and Dr, I. Garland Penn, correspond- ing secretary of the Freedmen’s Aid society, Cincinnati. Drs, Jones and Penn represent the ministry and laity respectively upon the commisaion, but beyond that they are the sole repre- sentatives of the 350,000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church, whose fortunes in a large measure are‘to be effected by the final conclusions of the commission. sore © It 1s quite the understanding that these distinguished Negro leaders were placed upon the commission in’ order that the Interests of the Negro mem- bers should te safeguarded. The as- signment is an important and responsi- ble one, for there has been no such historic commission touching the re- ligious and educational life of the na- tion since emancipation. Holding briefs for the 350,000 Negro members, they stand unique and alone and yet hold thelF commissions from members who are organically a part of one of the great churches and who, in theory, should not be considered apart from the other members. Both the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South snbscribe to a plan of unifica- tion by reorganization, in which each, it 1s supposed, will lose its identity in the unified church. Both have stated their positions as to. the Negro. The southern church preférs that the 350,- 000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church shall be organized into a sepa- rate and independent body, holding only fraternal relations to the unified white body, if such union should be accom- pilshed. The Methodist Episcopal church at its general conference in Saratoga last May stated its position as follows: ‘That the Negro should be » part of the reunited church, with representation *""="“nerai conference, and support- ef ita position by naming these two eolored men on tts commission to meet the whitd commission from the Metho- ist Episcopal Church South. i ‘The members of the commission-are : Methodist Episcopal church — Bishops ‘William Frazer McDowell, Earl Cranston and John W.

For we are but creatures of a moment and subject to the will of our Heavenly Father. For we know that He doeth all things well; Therefore, Be it Resolved, That we commend our dear Sister and friend to God our Heavenly Father for His choicest blessings to rest upon her, her sisters and brother, in this hour of their deepest sorrow and distress; And, Be it Further Resolved. That knowing her mother as we did in life, we can but say that she was not only a kind and loving mother, but a staunch and devoted Christian woman, and that her life was a fitting example for those whom she has left behind to go by, not only her children, but her many friends and, let us hope, that her children's loss is Heaven's gain. For we realize that the community in which she lived here and at the time of her death has lost a splendid example of motherly love and Christian devotion; Be it Further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be given to the family and a copy conveyed to the paper, and a copy spread upon the minutes. A vacant place is in the home That never can be filled.

Phone Main 1702 HAMPTON'S GREAT VICTORY. Seasiders Take Howard's Eleven Into Camp to Tune of 12 to 3. For two consecutive years the famous Howard university football squad has gone down to defeat at the hands of Hampton's speedy machine. Howard has not sent a man over the Hampton goal with the pigskin since 1014. The defeat that was administered to Howard on "Turkey day" gives Hampton the claim to the championship title of 1016. Hampton's machine arrived at Howard on Wednesday evening in a light fall of rain that continued throughout the night. Every man on the squad was in good spirits and confident that Howard would go down to defeat. The only reply to the jeers and songs with which the Howardites greeted the Hampton machine was, "We didn't come to Howard to lose any more." The sun came up on Thursday morning and partly dried up the water soaked gridiron. The wet field was a great disadvantage to the light Hampton backfield men, who depend mainly upon dodging their opponents. The referee blew the whistle for the first kick-off at 2:30 p. m. The game was hotly contested, and when the final whistle blew there ended the greatest battle in the history of Howard and Hampton. Hampton was the victor to the tune of 12 to 3. Much credit is due the "Seasiders," for they were playing on strange grounds before thousands of Howard sympathizers. Yet they proved that it is not the crowd that wins the game. Hampton broke the record by using only thirteen men to defeat Howard, while the Howardites used twenty. The lineup follows: Hampton. Position. Howard. Dabney . . . center. Young.

Negroes are no longer to be shut out, either directly or indirectly, from the American trade union movement. Instead, they are to be welcomed in. This is the stand taken by the American Federation of Labor in convention upon the issue raised by the wholesale migration of southern negroes to the industrial centers of Pennsylvania and the middle west. This resolution, presented by the delegates from the Ohio State Federation of Labor and the Cleveland Federation of Labor, has been approved: "Whereas, The emigration of southern Negroes to northern labor centers, which has lately attracted the attention of the United States department of labor and has occasioned anxiety on the part of the organized labor movement because of the danger such emigration will cause the workers in the northern states; and. "Whereas, The investigation of such emigration and importation of Negroes into the state of Ohio has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the labor leaders in that state that they are being brought north for the purpose of filling the places of union men demanding better conditions, as in the case of the freight handlers; and. "Whereas, The shortage of European labor has made the southern Negro an asset in the labor markets of the north and the conditions that prevail in Ohio may apply in all northern states; therefore, be it "Resolved, That this thirty-sixth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor instruct the president and executive council to inaugurate a movement looking toward the organization of these men in the southern states, to the end that they may be instructed and educated along the lines of the trade union movement and thereby eliminate this menace to the workers of the northern states." HIGH BRANCH OF THE MOSES Naomi Household of Prince and Princess Hears Annual Sermon. Naomi Household of Prince and Princess No. 4 of the Grand United Order of Sons and Daughters of Moses held its annual Thanksgiving service at the Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, on Sunday evening, Dec. 10. Members of the household were dressed in full regalia. This branch of the order is composed of all the passed supreme officers of the various tabernacles who must be members of the fourth degree house and have received their recommendation from the passed supreme officers' council. Naomi Household has eighty members and is in a very prosperous condition. The various symbols were displayed upon the altar of the church at the service. The ark of the covenant, the seven lighted candles and the display of fruits were among the most striking scenes. The Thanksgiving sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, who reviewed the origin and history of the order in a most able manner. The order was founded by Peter Paul Brown, a native of the West Indies, in 1867 and has a large membership in the east, north and southern sections of the United States. Prince Joseph Shannon is royal king, and Miss Rosa Brown is princess of records of Naomi household No. 4. "Does money really ever talk?" "So they say." "I wonder when."

Open Next Week COME ONE, COME ALL Universit; Commission Asks For Lar- ger Onare of School Funds. In {ta first open letter to college men of the south, issued early in 1916, the university commission urged them to unite, their efforts with those of the press, the pulpit, the bar, the officers of the law and all other agencies 1a- boring for the elimination of the mon- ster evil of mob violence. These agen- cles haye labored diligently and with substantial results, a8 it indicated by the decrease of the average annual number of lynchings from 171 for the decade 1836-95 to seventy for the de- cade 1906-15. Nevertheless the com- mission wishes to reiterate its appeal with renewed emphasis, knowing that the eradication of so virulent a social disease as the lynching manta can be effected only by the prolonged and vigorous efforts of sane and patriotic citizens. © In this letter the commission wishes to direct the attention of college men to the educational aspect of the race question, inasmuch as the solution of ‘all human problems ultimately rests upon rightly directed education. In its last analysis education simply means bringing forth all the native capacities of the individual for the benefit both of himself and of: soctety. It is axlomatic that a developed plant, animal or man is far more valuable to society than the undeveloped. It s Ukewise obvious that ignorance is the most fruitful source of human lls. Furthermore, it 1s as true in a social as in a physical sense that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link ‘The good results thus far obtained, as shown by the Negro’s progress within recent years, prompt the commission to urge the extension of his educa- Honal opportunities. ‘The inadequate provision for the ed: ucation of the Negro is more than an injustice to him; it {s an injury to the white mau. The south cannot realize its destiny if one-third of its popula- tion is undeveloped and inefficient. For our common welfare we must strive to cure disease wherever we find tt, strengthen whatever is weak and develop all that is undeveloped. ‘The initial steps for increasing the efficien- cy and usefulness of the Negro race must necessarily be taken in the school- room. ‘There can be no denying that more aud better schools with better trained and better paid teachers, more adequate supervision and longer terms are needed for the blacks us well as the whites. The Nezro schools are, of course, parts of the school systems of thelr respective states and as such share in the progress and prosperity of thelr state systems. Our appeal is for a larger share for the Negro. on the ground of the com mon welfare and common Justice. He is the weakest link in our civilization, and our welfare 1s indissolubly bound up with bis. Alauy means are open to the college men of the south for arous. ing greater public interest in this mat. ter and for promoting a more vigorous public effort to this end. A right at@- tude in this as tp all other important public questions is @ condition prece- dent to guccess. For this reason the commilstin addresses to southern Co} lege men this special appeal. J.

Oklahoma City, Okla.—Members of the National Negro, Press association and friends of Melvin J. Chisum have been showering him recently with con- gratulations since it became known that the governor of Oklahoma has Issued a pardon to Chisum. The par don was recommended after a thorough Investigation of the cases against him. In his findings Hon. J. M. Crook of the pardon board says: “Melvin J. Chisum was wrongfully convicted in the county court of Logan county and wrongfully charged with criminal Mbel, although he published articles in the newspaper he was con- ducting and editing in reference to Langston university. “There were serious scandals in 5@ gard to the conduct of the students at said university, Chisum published the ‘facts in reference to such conduct. The publication was strong, but no stronger than the facts justified. This depart- ment regrets to admit that upon inves. tigation ft found in each ingance the facts to be exactly in accord with Chisum’s charges. “It is a fact that President Page was peremptorily reiieved of his position in the university ten days after the first statements of Chisum in his paper, and it may be that the exposure of the sit- uation over there by Chisum led to such result. Bui it must be considered that in the exposure of such conditions deleterious to public bea'th or moral safety the press is always aud invaria bly @ moe! potent weunum.” Southern Laborers Given Employment. ‘Three hundred colored men from: the south have secured employment in the mills and factories of Pittsburgh since the first week in November.

Samuels, a laborer, on the 16th day of May, 1916, met with an accident, had his foot crushed while at work, and it had to be amputated at the ankle. Samuels was insured twice in the same company; once by his choice and when he went to work for a street improvement concern, where he met with the accident the first day, he had been again insured by the improvement company in the same insurance company. The insurance company paid Samuels for his contract with the company, but refused to pay for its contract with the improvement company. Lawyer Townsend claimed that under the Workmen's Compensation law, Samuels was entitled to $900 more. He took the case before the Board of Industrial Commission and got an award for $833, making the whole sum paid to Samuels from the Insurance Co. for his accident. $1,728.84.
