ROSCOE C. SIMMONS AND WM. J. BRYAN ON THE SAME PLATFORM
Whitehall, Ill., Sept. 3. William Jennings Bryan and Roscoe Conkling Simmons made Saturday and Sunday memorable here.
These two put on an oratorical contest—they did. Thousands shared in the feast. Perhaps a lady from Jerseyville expressed the decision. Sunday afternoon as Colonel Simmons stood trying to shake the hands of the multitude a comely young lady grasped his hand.
"I am a Democrat," she said, "and until yesterday I was for Bryan in everything. Now I am for him in everything except speaking. I am for you in that."
More than 6,000 people gathered to listen to Colonel Simmons Sunday afternoon. As he drove upon the grounds a thousand horns on a thousand automobiles let loose. Three cheers were added as he took the stage. For more than two hours he really held that immense audience in the palm of his hand. Bryan had declared prohibition to be the great question. Not so, thought this apostle of a Race. "There is a question pressing us more important than prohibiting a man from taking a drink," said Col. Simmons. "That is, how to prohibit any American from taking the life of another American without due process of law." (Plenty of cheers here)
Colonel Simmons paid a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt that brought the audience to its feet. "Beneath the picture of Teddy simply write, 'This is a man,' he declared. This city has the distinction of having no Colored residents, not one, but the people for miles around gathered to witness the closing of the largest American chautauqua by a member of "the Race despised.'
The Race doesn't realize the value of Roscoe.—The Defender.
Washington — Because it has deferred mobilization of Negroes in the national army the war department has postponed the graduations at the Negro officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, one month until Oct. 15th. Instruction will continue until then.
paid his debt and has gone Home to receive his crown of eternal life. May his ashes rest in peace. Father Bruce, Mason, and L. C. Connell, Mason, both brothers of same lodge, died the same day, last Saturday.

TWENTY-NINTH YEAR
SLOWLY AND SADLY THEY LAID HIM TO REST
Denver Loses Valuable Citizen
Mr. L. C. Connell, early in the year of 847, one of Denver's pioneers and up builders was born in Nashville, Tenn. It was long, long ago so long that few of now can think so far back. Pleasing always to recall all old reminicences, Mr. Connell always loved to relate his early boyhood travels up and down the river on the big steamers. He
A.
soon was attracted to the running on the steamship lines and we find him from 1871 to 1878 running between New Orleans and St. Louis. The noise of the big wheel chugging away and the escaping steam from the exhaust pipes seemed music to his ears. He became a Mason and was given his degrees by Eureka Lodge No. 30, of Springfield, Mo. and later became a Royal Arch Mason' and a Knight Templar in St. Louis. Coming to Denver in 1878 he at once placed his membership with Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, P. and A. M. to which lodge he belonged until his demise. He rose rapidly and and enjoyed the highest honors equally as enthusiastic as he did the simplest. He enjoyed the destination of being a Past Master, Past Grand Treasurer, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, which elevations silently but eloquently testified to his sterling worth as a man and brother as evidenced the great esteem of him held by the brethren. Not only that but he was a 32nd Degree Mason, having filled many prominent positions in the Scottish Rites and gave him the elevation of the 33rd Masonic Degree, a rare gem. In 1884 Mr. Connell married married Miss Kenney of Denver, their union being a happv one, enjoyed the respect and appreciation of all who knew them until death parted them. He was while living a devoted member of the A. M. E. church from which church his lodge buried him. He leaves a wife, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He has

Miss Albritton Surprises and Eclipses all Denver
The Young Musical Wonder Wins Laurels
The greatest musical surprise that Denver has ever witnessed was experienced Tuesday night at the Presbyterian church when Miss Albritton, who is destined to be the Jenny Lind of our race, eclipsed everything yet given in Denver.
M.
She in her unassuming way, wholly devoid of affected mannerisms, completely won her audience as she classified herself already among the real artists of our race. The Presbyterian church certainly did Denver a great favor in bringing this accomplished and refined lady of quality and ability to Denver to perform. Young, ambitious and resourceful Miss Albritton impresses you with her sincerity and active manner in which she does things. The program Tuesday night starting promptly on time was one of the best this year and all the participants did themselves great credit as well as honoring Denver. Those appearing of local talent wers Mrs. M. E. Morrison, trombone soloist, who did fine, while Prof. Morgan Jackson, violinist, and Mr. Valaurez Spratlin, a pianist, swaved his audience like the wind does a leaf in the trees. Miss Minnie Albritton's concert was a musical gem, and already, because of her youth she stands in the ranks of the artists second to none, her easy range, deep, full voice, staccatto movement, interpretation, clearly demonstrated that she was giving vent to a classic personality wrapped in the soul of music. THE STAR congratulates Rev. Thos. Hazell for this high class affair.
Wiley Strong, a member of the 24th Infantry, who died recently at the hospital at Houston, Texas, was not a participant in the street shooting, but was shot at the camp as he attempted to guard the supply tent. He was one of the men placed on duty to guard the ammunition and was fired upon by his comrades as they made their raid on the supply tent. He was carried direct from the camp to the hospital and wanted the public to know that he was not implicated in the outbreak and would not have been a party to it.
Editor J. M. Miles, of the Roanoke, Va., World-News, speaking of the Houston affair, says: "We cannot build up bitterness and hatred in the hearts of twelve million people and expect to move along in peace and good humor," which is a fine sample view of the high class southern gentleman so sadly in the minority at present.
Adjutant General McCrory of Louisiana recently sent a telegram to the War Department recommending that separate trains be furnished for the movement of troops.
NEGRO TROOPS WILL BE SEPARATE UNITS
Washington, Sept. 10.—Negro troops of the national army will be organized in separate units, as is done in the regular army, and so far as possible will be trained in the states where they are raised. The call for drafted Negroes to mobilize at their camps will be postponed to allow officers at the camp to arrange for the organization of these separate units. Both white and Negro men of the selective forces will be given an opportunity to volunteer to battalions for service on the line of communication, their work being military but not combatant. There also will be, however, Negro fighting regiments of the national army, as there are of the regulars and the National guard
Of the 687,000 men called for as the first increment of the national army it is estimated that approximately 70,000 will be Negroes. In all, the army in France will need, it has been estimated, more than 100,000 men be hind the lines for use along the roads and railways or other special work. A great many battalions of both white and Negro troops will be necessary for those purposes and the war department feels certain that many of the Negroes of the selective draft forces will volunteer for this duty in order to be sent quickly to France.
New York and Alabama Soldiers Clash in Camp
Sentries of the 165th Regiment of N. Y., on guard at the camp on Long Island, N. Y., were attacked by members of the 167th Regt. of Alabama, last Sunday, when the latter tried to escape from the military reservation.
Shortly after the arrival of the Southerners at camp several cases of measles showed among the members of two companies and all have since been under quarantine to prevent a spread of the disease.
When the rush began, the Alabama men had scattered over a wide space, and at intervals the sentries aad their attackers struggled and fought individually and by twos and threes. Blows were exchanged that made bloody noses, and then some of the sentries got their fighting blood up and they began to prod and jab and hit with musket butts, until attacks ceased. Finally all the men were herded into groups and merged into larger ones. Finally they were sent back to quarters more rapidly than they left them. Cool heads averted serious trouble.

Funeral Sunday Afternoon at 1 o'clock, Shorter Church
After going from the lowest round of the ladder which leads to the highest degrees known in the ancient Arts of Masonry. Father Francis T. Bruce after more than three score and ten years silently
SIR JOHN HENRY BURKE
laid down his trowel, folded his apron and turned over all the tools of the craft to the great order that gave him all his honor and whom they delighted so often to honor. His early life was full and busy with the different activities which went to make up a career of progressive ambitions. He loved his lodges. He cherished most keenly his race. He was devoted to his friends and at all times he revered his family. Even to the last those who heard him utter his last thoughts can be made to recall how he worried about "Mammy" and how deeply and tenderly he always thought of "Mille," who, in this crisis, has shown wonderful fortitude and won a worthy wreath of glory to herself. Sunday afternoon the Masons will tell of his life's struggles, his rewards, and his great victory accomplished. Shorter will doubtless be packed. How the valuable limbs are slowly but steadily falling — Townsend, DeFrantz, Connell, and now Bruce has entered into the great river of Time and Eternity.
The funeral for Brother Francis T. Bruce will be held at Shorter's A. M. E. church Sunday at 1:30 p. m., under the auspices of Rocky Mt. Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M., Rocky Mt. Lodge No. 2320, G. U. O. O. of F., and House hold of Ruth No. 376. All Masons are requested to meet at the Douglass Undertaking Parlors not later than 12:30 p. m.

A beautiful baptizing Sunday evening at Central. There are a number of strangers in our city. We welcome all strangers to our church. Harvest Home Sunday should prove interesting and beneficial to all concerned—Sept. 30th, 1917. Thanksgiving ought to be a grand day with us this season.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Secretary Thorna J. Bell, who has been away on a vacation of three weeks, returned to the city last Friday evening, greatly refreshed and renewed in strength. He spent the entire time with his family in New York City. Asked how New York is, he replied, "Full of people, as usual—always full of people; and more work than there is reliable help to do the work. Good wages. High cost of living general. War talk a-plenty."
With the regular meeting of the Committee of Management last Monday evening the work of the Fall season was formerly opened. A successor to our late chairman, Dr. De Frantz will be appointed very shortly by the Board of Directors, which alone has the power to appoint a chairman.

Next Tuesday evening a special meeting of the Committee of Management will be held to consider definite plans for the financial and membership campaign which will probably be held the latter part of October. The time of the opening of the regular Sunday afternoon meetings will be announced next week.

DON'T GAMBLE
Speculate or take chances. Don't try to get rich over night. Put your money in a safe, sound and profitable investment.
HERE ARE A NUMBER REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY STOCK IN THE "SILVER PLUME CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY:"
Number 1. WE HAVE LARGE PROPERTIES of great richness located near Silver Plume, Colorado, 52 miles from Denver, where your money will help to develop the richest silver mining district in America.
Number 2. WE HAVE TEN CLAIMS, APPROXIMATELY 100 acres, in which there has been over $25,000 development work done consisting of a number of tunnels showing surface values on the out-croppings with well-defined mineral lodes, with development which will open immense lodes of ore.
Number 7. WE HAVE NOW RAISED A substantial amount of money. When we have all we require for the development work, which tunnels and trams should be completed within 6 or 9 months after the required amount of money has been raised, it is safe to predict that we should be paying dividends within 8 to 10 months or less than a year after our work has been completed. We are going to put in a gravity tram to shoot the ore to the bottom of the hill from the before-mentioned dump, which will only cost us 25c per ton to put in the cars, as compared to the original cost to us of $8.00 per ton for carrying same down the mountain side on jacks or burros. Our capacity should be 100 tons per day when this Aerial cable
Number 3. MR. JOSHUA BUXTON WORKED just one of these 10 claims for 20 years and supported a family of 18 in grand style, working an average of one day a week.
Number 4. WE HAVE STARTED a tunnel, 400 feet below these ten claims, which, when driven 700 feet, will cut all of the 10 lodes and should open up large deposits of very rich silver ore.
Number 5. WE HAVE TWO developed mines $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile from Silver Plume, comprising two tunnels about one-fourth of a mile each in length, from which we have been shipping silver values ranging from $ 50.00 $ per ton to $ 100.00 $ per ton, since the 24th day of last December. We are now extending these workings to get larger shipping capacity.
Number 6. WE ALSO HAVE A LARGE DUMP, which in size covers more space than the new Denver Post Office Building, containing a great many thousands of tons of ore already mined and ready for the smelter. It is interesting to note how this dump occurred: In the early days of mining, when they had no railroads and no smelters here, silver ore had to be shipped by ox-carts to Omaha, Nebraska, thence by rail to New York, and then by water to Swansea, Wales, to be treated in the smelter there. The freight and treatment charges on same cost $90.00 and over per ton, so all values that ran ton or less was thrown on this dump as waste. Today the same ore can be treated, including freight charges not to exceed $5.75 per ton, which should give us an average profit of about $8.25 per ton and should alone return to each stockholder many dollars for every original dollar invested.
I hereby subscribe for.....shares of stock of THE SILVER PLUME CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY at FIFTY CENTS per share, fully paid and non-assessable, with no individual liability to stockholders.
EVERY MINE A SUCCESS—WHY SHOULD NOT YOU BE LUCKY?
THE PEERLESS FILM AND PRODUCTION COMPANY,
THE SILVER PLUME CON. MINING COMPANY,
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for the reason I invested in stock of your company, wish to say that after a very thorough investigation of your company during which time I spent nearly a week going over your properties at Silver Plume I found that all the statements you made were not only true but conservative.
I was greatly impressed with the efficient management and splendid location of your Lone Wolf claim on Republican Mountain, which I am reliably informed is one of the richest mountains in silver, lead and zinc deposits in America. The very high grade ore that comes from this district and the very important fact that there have been no mine failures of properties opened in the Silver Plume District, all had a bearing on my decision to invest all the money I possibly could in your company and advising my friends to do the same.
I consider I am doing my friends a favor when I tell them of your company as I do not see how you can fail to show earnings of over a hundred per cent. per annum or your entire capital stock.
Number 7. WE HAVE NOW RAISED A substantial amount of money. When we have all we require for the development work, which tunnels and trams should be completed within 6 or 9 months after the required amount of money has been raised, it is safe to predict that we should be paying dividends within 8 to 10 months or less than a year after our work has been completed. We are going to put in a gravity tram to shoot the ore to the bottom of the hill from the before-mentioned dump, which will only cost us 25c per ton to put in the cars, as compared to the original cost to us of $8.00 per ton for carrying same down the mountain side on jacks or burros. Our capacity should be 100 tons per day when this Aerial cable transfer is in operation.
Number 8. THE MANAGEMENT and officers of this corporation are gentlemen of broad affairs and large business experiences, who have many thousand dollars of their own good money invested in the development of these properties, and who will safeguard your investment as well as their own and give you the biggest run for your money you ever received in your life.
Number 9. IN THESE 13 PIECES of property altogether comprised of 3 parcels of property merged into one consolidation, makes a gigantic and attractive proposition for investors, when you stop to think that there has never been a single mine failure on the North Mountain of Silver Plume in the history of that great mining camp.
Number 10. ASK THE FOLLOWING LADIES and gentlemen what they think of this Company: DR. JUSTINA A. FORD, LILLIAN HORN and MR. A. A. WALLER, who, after investigation, HAVE INVESTED substantial amounts of money in this Company. What they think of the property, of the management, of the investment and the exceptional rare opportunity.
Number 11. THE TIME TO BUY STOCK in a Company of this kind is NOW, while the property is in a state of development. Our stock is now selling at 50c a share and should be selling for $1.00 per share in less than 90 days and we feel that it is a safe prediction to say that this stock ought to sell around $5.00 per share in a few years. Buy now at 50c per share, EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH you can afford. Make your reservations AT ONCE for cash. Time payments accepted. Get in NOW while the stock is low and watch your investment grow.

PLEASURE CAN ALL BE FOUND.

MR. A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for information regarding Silver Plume District as a producer of Silver Ore, would say, this camp is known as one of the richest Silver producers in this country, and is particularly famous for the richness of its ore and extent of its ore deposits, which seem almost inexhaustible, as some of the earliest producing mines of this district are still among the largest shippers of high grade ore.
The shipments from the beforementioned district is onw averaging over $80.00 per ton, which is probably the highest average for Silver and Lead ore of any mining camp in the country, which is also one of the largest producers. Another favorable condition of this district is the absolute lack of failure, every mine so far as my knowledge extends, having an exceptional success, a large number who started in a small way have produced millions already. The richest and largest producers being located on the Republican, Sherman and Democratic mountains. Present developments indicate that Silver Plume will soon be the greatest lead, zinc and silver camp in the country.
I believe the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company's properties are ideally located and great possibilities are ahead of them.
Very truly yours,
TALLMAGE KYNER,
Pres. Board of Mines and Commerce.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE
DESCRIBE VALUES.
I have been acquainted with the mines upon Republican Mountain, above Silver Plume, Clear Creek County, Colorado, since January, 1872, having operated mines there from that time to the present, living at the foot of it many years, as well as at Georgetown. I thus have a personal and intimate knowledge of the output, as well as the discovery of many of the mines.
The ores which have been extracted from this mountain have been of an unusually high grade in silver. Many tons exceeding one thousand ounces silver per ton have passed through my hands. It is true that rich ores have also been taken from the adjacent mountains, but there are none which have a record of as high a general average from a like area.
In addition to mining I did a great deal of assaying in the early seventies, as well as purchased ores for shipment to Europe, therefore this statement is made not from hearsay but from practical experience.
In 1872 the cost of shipment of ores to England, including the treatment charge there, was about ninety dollars per ton, so that ores of less silver content than one hundred ounces per ton, could not be shipped; amalgamating and chlorination mills at Georgetown at that time treated some of the less rich ores, but I think it is safe to say nothing less than fifty ounce ore was saved, everything else being thrown into the dumps.
I make these statements with the endeavor to state correctly as far as human imperfections of memory about observations and experience of between forty and fifty years ago permit, and the natural proneness to exaggeration which time so frequently develops, in regard to happenings of the past, and believe that what I have said is fair and not overestimated.

My dear Co-Worker:
I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK!
PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts.
Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves.
Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad.
Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.
Yours for a True Democracy,
N. H. BURROUGHS.

The Outlook, Inlook and Uplook.
The Negro battalion in Ohio to be led by Col. Young, has been mustered out. The Negro officer and soldiers have been shown by this administration that their services are not wanted. They have volunteered and have been flatly turned down and must wait until they are drafted. Americans are making this a color line war on this side of the water, since that is so and the white man is in power is grappling with a powerful enemy in a ruthless war, let us turn our minds, hearts and activities to other vocations in life. We know of no instance that a Colored man or Colored committee or board has actually been called into a council of war to participate in the discussions of what the vital needs and resources of his people were. We know that the Negro, next to the Indian, is the original American. He has been here several centuries which cannot be said of any other race except the Negro. He is patriotic to the bone.

yet unwelcome in labor organizations, he must still furnish indispensable brain and brawn to and for our industries, now and after the war. At present he finds plenty of comparatively lucrative employment which might not last always. Never having had the requisite knowledge of saving, he is now a great spender. To the limited extent to which he has saved money he has never learned the best use of it or how to handle it. As a manufacturer, trader, banker, shrewd stock broker, he is almost a nonentity. He has not learned scientific and commercial organization and co-operation. But now is the accepted time to turn a new leaf. Now is the time to save money. Now is the time to plan to start factories and stores.
The present war will impoverish the white people the world over. At the close of it new economic conditions will present themselves. In the new shuffle the colored American may find economic opportunities never presented before. But for him to take advantage of those opportunities he must have capital and business knowledge. Therefore, let him now take up the study of economic questions. If denied an opportunity to do one thing for our country and flag, let us go right ahead making changes and forcing opportunities in other directions. Keep moving; "Perge Mode;" only go on conquering and making our way up the hill.
WHO IS LOOKING AFTER THE MONEY TO BE RAISED FOR THE COLORADO COLORED BATTALION?
The Star says now that only responsible people whose records for honesty, truthfulness and square dealing is clear and vouchsafed, should be entrusted with the handling of the money gotten from the public under the advertised plea and that a checking account should be inaugurated and a report made to the people of the expenditure of the money. In other words, the Star thinks and says that the people or public should know whether the money went to the officers, the men or for recruiting purposes and who raised the money to go finally into what persons pocket. We shall use every effort to ascertain "who figured in the pie" and report to you.
We have received some very encouraging reports concerning Rev. Washington's Pastorate at Bethel A. M. E. church at San Francisco, wherein he doubled all his reports covering himself in glory. His wife's health compels him to go south. We shall speak more later.
The 39th session of the Colorado Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church will open at Allen Chapel in Boulder on Wednesday, Sept. 19, and continue until Sunday evening, Sept. 23. A general reception will be tendered the delegates and friends on Wednesday evening with greetings from Mayor Klinger, Rev. A. M. Knudsen of the Ministerial Association and Mr. C. B. Reeves of Allen Chapel. Thursday will be Mite Missionary Societies' Day, with a missionary sermon at night by Rev. C. A. Williams. Friday evening's session will be held in the High School Auditorium, just across the street from Allen Chapel. It is educational night and Rev. J. B. Isaacs will speak. All services on Sunday will be held in the High school auditorium. All Boulder is making every effort to maintain her reputation for genial hospitality. The attendance of our boys and girls in both high school and University has increased this year. There are ten in our boys are again in charge of the High school and five in the University. The Maxwell brothers and Matthews are the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dangerfield of Philadelphia are partially expected to return to Boulder this fall. Mrs. Fleming, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Williams and George Harris have taken charge of Frat houses on the hill. Henry Stevens is expected home this week from Missouri where he has been spending his vacation.

Last Sabboth morning Mr. Gatewood ably assisted the chorus work of the choir. "Go Forward, Christian Soldier," by his rendition of the solo feature. At 5:30 p. m., Miss Frankie Buchan was at her best as she vocally recited "O Lord, Rebuke Me Not," by Brown. The choir feelingly sang the anthem "I Will Save My Flock." Miss Minnie M. Albritt, California's mockingbird, supported by Mrs. M. E. Morrison, trombonist; Mrs. T. Gatewood and Mr. V. Spratlin, planists; Mr. Morgan Jackson, violinist, ably sustained her reputation as a vocalist of matured experience and ability. Her wonderful impression made Tuesday night before a choice audience will ever be a live wire in the hearts of Denver citizens. The artist will ever find an open door and a ready crowd to welcome her return to the Queen City of the Plains. Her contemporaries on the night's program faultlessly performed their respective citations. The Presbyter of the church and officers are under obligation to the patrons for their support. A Sacred Concert tomorrow afternoon composed of the singing of ancient hymns, anthems and themes and literary selections will be a feature. Misses Albritt will participate on the program. There will be no paid admission, but a liberal silver offering will be asked for, of which will be donated to the Albritton sisters to help the mpursue their musical studies in Boston. Let everybody come and help. Oct. 9th, Tuesday night, will provide a rare opportunity to hear a rare elocutionist and planist, Mme. Lillian Jeter Davis of Neff College of Oratory, Philadelphia, Pa. One of the leading clergymen of the country in speaking of her ability, says: "She is indeed a great character for a Great Age. The old as well as the young should be given an opportunity to come into touch and contact with this master mind." Another comment runs thus: "With no mental reservation I gladly commend to your favorable consideration Mme. Lillian Jeter Davis as an elocutionist of MORE THAN NORMAL ARTISTIC ABILITY. She manages to command the almost perfect attention of her audiences throut. You'll make no mistake in engaging her at your churches."

The National Congress of Negro Fraternities, which was organized at Cincinnati eighteen months ago, will hold its annual meeting in St. Louis for three days, beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 28. The officers of all grand lodges, mutual benefit societies and clubs are urged to have their organization represented by one or more delegates at the coming meeting.
Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati is president of the congress. Owing to the unusually unsettled condition of affairs both as they affect the nation and the race it is of the greatest importance that the race make an extra effort to get together for a calm and frank discussion of the many problems which confront the race at this time. T. J. Smith, box 215, Versailles, Ky., is secretary of the congress.
PROTEST AND PETITION.
The House Committee on the Judiciary
I am an American Citizen of full age and accountability and do here and now, over my own signature, most solemnly protest against the outrages perpetrated upon other American citizens in East St. Louis, Illinois, July 2, 1917, and petition you to comply with the request made by Congressman L. C. Dyer in H. J. Res. 118 as speedily as possible.
PRESBYTERIAN.
EXHIBITS SHOW PROGRESS.
Post Oak (Ala.) Fair Made a Glowing Success Through Co-operation.
By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY.
Union Springs, Ala.—The two days' fair which was held recently at Post Oak, twelve miles below here, closed with speechmaking by leading white and colored men, who in most serious words emphasized the various problems of food conservation and production. Fully 3,000 white and colored people from all sections of Bullock county attended the meetings and inspected the very striking agricultural and industrial exhibits. The colored women whose work in handicraft and canning was on exhibition testified by their earnestness and enthusiasm that the efforts of Miss N. J. Coleman of the state agricultural extension service and other workers are showing excellent results.
Mr. M. B. Ivy, United States demonstration agent for Bullock county, has realized equally satisfactory results among the men and boys. Some very fine live stock and poultry were shown, and the Boys' Pig club had some promising pigs which they are fattening for fall killing.
To stimulate interest in the diversification program of farming among Negroes the leading white business men of the county offered $100 in gold for the best exhibits, and they helped by their presence and words of inspiration to encourage greater activity in the rural districts. Dr. W. E. Hinds, state entomologist from the Alabama Polytechnic institute of Auburn (through which the Smith-Lever funds are administered for this state), was one of the principal speakers.
Two very impressive addresses were delivered, one by Mayor I. B. Feagin of Union Springs and the other by Hon. R. L. Cope, chairman of the county board of education. Members of a party from Tuskegee institute, including T. M. Campbell, district agent of the state agricultural service for Negroes; G. R. Bridgeforth, director of the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute; Clement Richardson, assistant director of the academic department, and Albon L. Holsey of the principal's office, were called on for brief addresses. Other speakers were J. L. Thomas of Union Springs and Harry Sims, special agent in charge of extension schools. W. E. McGowan and E. T. Burney of Post Oak deserve special credit for the success of this annual fair.
UNITED FOR PROTECTION.
Associated Employees' Union at New York is Making Progress.
The Associated Colored Employees' union, an organization national in scope with headquarters in New York, is making a canvass to ascertain working conditions and the number of persons engaged in the various lines of work for the purpose of unionizing the colored people throughout the country. The association is making splendid headway and is in a position to help those seeking employment to get employment of their abilities call for whether skilled, unskilled or professional.
The organization is conducting an information and employment bureau for the benefit of Negroes coming from the south. It has been found, it is said that many educated Negroes, capable of working as skilled mechanics and natans, are being employed as porters, elevator men and janitors, and attempt will be made by the organization to fill more remunerative work for them. The promoters of the movement plan to establish branch unions in all cities where the Negro population is 5,000 or more.
Helping Home For Aged and Inform. Under the leadership of Mrs. George Cole, a committee of energetic women conducted a successful flower sale for the benefit of the Home For Aged and Inform Colored Women at Pittsburgh on Saturday, Sept. 1. The public showed keen interest in the efforts of the women in behalf of the home by patronizing the sale liberally.
THE recent death of Thomas C. Jarrott of Brooklyn removes from the community one of its best known citizens. Mr. Jarrott was a native of Petersburg, Va. He became a resident of the north shortly after the war With New other southern men he founded the Southern Beneficial league reputed to be the largest and wealthiest mutual benefit organization among the colored people of New York. Mr. Jarrott was the league's first president and was sixty-eight years of age when he died

The purpose of the organization is to meet the demand of employees for officers and to see that square,der is given in wages at hours, according to the kind of labor performed.

Letter from Pastor
Rev. D. E. Over pastor of Zion Writes of Great Convention
We are now in the midst of a meeting in this city which will doubtless go down in history as one of the very greatest sessions of the National Baptist Convention. As for numbers we simply cannot get a place in the great city of Atlanta which will accommodate the attendance. The out-of-town delegation more than fills the auditorium of the Friendship Baptist Church, and it is impossible for the city people to attend. At night many more are turned away than can get into the building. Mrs. Over and I have been unable to attend a single evening session at the Convention proper, but have been forced to attend the Woman's Auxiliary Convention on the other side of the city. Another thing worthy of comment is that the programs are considered of a higher order than we have ever known. The president's annual address was undoubtedly a masterpiece and simply set the Convention wild. Your pastor preached the Foreign Missionary sermon, which is considered one of the most important on the program. There could not have been a more flattering reception of it by the delegates. Many of the leaders declare it without question the greatest Foreign Missionary effort ever given to the Convention. The sermon is to be published. This must be due in large measure to the prayers of our dear friends. As to the matter of accommodations we could not have been more fortunate. We are stopping in the home of a lovely young couple by the name of Wynne, whose home is new, strictly modern, and who seem determined to see that we have everything we want. Our health is fine and this is a trip which, while full of work, is an experience of real joy. We were also most fortunate in the trip coming over and did not have the pleasure of the "Jim Crow." At St. Louis we joined the Missouri delegation and at Nashville we became a part of a great crowd from that section, thus securing sleeping car accommodations all the way through. We will perhaps leave here Tuesday morning and will spend a day or two at Nashville, the guests of Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Boyd; and after a day or so in Kansas City and Topeka, we will be on Denver. If we find the time to do so I hope to take a number of photographs so as to give a stereoptic lecture of the trip. Atlanta has recently been visited with a great fire which swept out a large section of the Negro residences of the city. The gaunt and gutted ruins of hundreds of blocks of splendid modern homes is a silent and pathetic reminder that the members of our race dwell here in the midst of perpetual tragedy. There are reasons why many are going north. Whether I get the pictures or not there will be many things to tell. We trust this will find all the friends trusting in Him who is able to keep, and to whom we commit all our affairs.

SOCIAL WORKERS HOLD MEETING AT PITTSBURGH
National Urban League Hears Reports on Uplift From Many Sections.
Pittsburgh.—The recent annual meeting of social workers held in this city by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People was a great success. It brought together men and women of both races who are well qualified by education and personal experience to discuss the great questions of struggle and uplift among the colored people in all sections.
In opening the first meeting Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk university and executive secretary of the league, in part said:
"The greatest problem confronting the Negro in his first fifty years after emancipation was to demonstrate to the world that he is a man capable of development and achievement like other men. The problem of the second fifty years will be to show to the world that he is capable of collective action demanded for democratic organisation of today. Negroes have confidence within their own consciousness of their

ability to prove this. They must prove it to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens. To do this we need organization for collective action. "By organization I do not mean machinery merely. I mean the determination to secure better living and larger freedom, and this determination infused into the masses of our people. Once they have this purpose they will carry it out by whatever machinery is at hand. This purpose must be infused into the mass of wage earners and into every church society, into every business league, into every community betterment club and into every individual.
"The great world war has changed the old order, and a new day has dawned. It calls for collective action of every element of our population. As social workers our great obligation as well as our opportunity for service to our people is to organize them for better wages, better houses, better industrial efficiency, better education and for larger freedom and life, for, how ever humble their station, they are seeking a liberty and an opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is our business to help inspire and lead them toward these better conditions or the larger life."

Jones, supervisor of the colored division, department of recreation and social survey, Memphis, Tenn., who spoke on "Human Adjustment in Memphis." Mr. Jones said in part: "We have demonstrated that any broad hearted woman of willing mind can by giving four hours each month of her time to the general welfare, under proper direction, increase the living efficiency of twelve families every year at least 100 per cent. One of the most pressing problems with which social workers in large communities have to deal is that of amusements. Between the 'hands off' and 'thou shalt not' policies of the church and the commercialized and misdirected mixing of pleasure, vice and license that cater to the young there is little to offer the young people.
"Whenever I have directed a dance social for tired working girls or taken a group of children out to play on a Sunday afternoon I have had to answer to the ministry. I tried to solve this problem by having the ministerial organizations indorse a list of amusements selected by themselves. I have not yet succeeded in getting a salts factory list. When I began my work in Memphis there was not a single piece of play apparatus to a public place in the city. Now there are

Race In State of Unrest In the South. It is useless for people who claim to have the interest of the colored race at heart to advise that the race remain in the south under the present condition of unrest, mob violence and lynching. The East St. Louis outbreak was the result of labor conditions, but it was born of the southern mob spirit. Let every one go where the law is respected and where human life is considered of more value than that of a dumb brute.

BELIEVES IN EQUAL JUSTICE
In Thrilling Welcome Address to Members of the National Negro Business League Governor Rye Says We Are All American Citizens Now—Company G's Fine Record.
By WILLIAM H. DAVIS.
In welcoming the eighteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league to Chattanooga, Tenn., at its recent session Governor Tom C. Rye in part said:
I am deeply and profoundly grateful for the compliments that have been paid me by the different representatives of your race, and permit me to say that I sincerely hope and trust that so long as I am permitted to hold office and represent the people of this commonwealth that somebody can with some degree of truth say some of those nice things about me which I feel deep down in my heart I do not fully deserve. I have tried and am determined to be the governor of all the people. [Applause.] I expect to be the governor of all the people so long as I serve in that capacity, and when the time comes that I cannot so far as I can see it and understand it discharge my duty to all the citizens of the state of Tennessee, regardless of race, creed or other affiliation, I shall step down and out and go back to private life. [Applause.]
I am here today to bid you welcome to the greatest state in the Union. [Applause.] And I want to say to you colored people, in the commendable efforts along various lines of progress which you are making rapidly, that if some ambitious and determined young man of your race should sally forth to find a fertile field for the investment of his business capital or professional skill and should be imbued with the idea of discovering a lost paradise I serve notice on him here and now that he would be doomed to utter despair and absolute failure did his footsteps lead not to Dixie. [Laughter and applause.]
Here in the southland is your race's opportunity, and right here in the southland your race has made its greatest progress. Not only do I bid you hearty welcome on behalf of the commonwealth of Tennessee, but standing here in the presence of this city's splendid chief executive, the mayor of Chattanooga, I will go further and say that he would not understand his job if he did not likewise welcome and establish an altar for you here at Chattanooga. [Applause.] This I am sure he will be only too glad to do.
Now, you have heard reference made to Company G, a company of Negro troops organized in the state of Tennessee, and I wish to say they deserve the special mention and compliment which have been paid to that company. They have made a record of which military unit might well be proud. Recently I was looking over the accounts of this commonwealth, which are on file in the state department, and I noticed that the state of Tennessee had been required to pay over to the war department at Washington the total sum of $32,000 as reimbursement for property lost by our national guard, and be it said to the honor and credit of Company G, the only Negro company thus far organized in the state of Tennessee or in the entire south, Tennessee has never lost a dollar through Company G. [Hearty applause.]
Now, my friends, I have a peculiar pride and pleasure in welcoming to our state this splendid organization, which was founded about eighteen years ago by your race's illustrious leader. Dr. Booker T. Washington. [Prolonged applause and cheering.] Ere the star of Booker T. Washington had reached its zenith in this country the clouds of prejudice between the races, referred to here today, had rolled away and had disappeared before the sunburst of his eloquence, his wisdom and his constructive statesmanship as mists retreat before the rising sun. [Apollause.]
His great and useful life, as reflected in Tuskegee institute as well as in this splendid business organization, should be a Mecca to the colored people of this country, and when you journey there and stand upon the campus of that great institution of learning that he founded, whenever you attend the annual meeting of this league, you should remember his eloquent words of wisdom, you should remember the practical services he rendered to his face and country, you should be inspired by the noble motives and purposes that guided his life, and you should stand up and thank God for Booker T. Washington. [Prolonged anglue and cheering.]
Now, in conclusion, let me say that the old formality of welcoming people or conventions to our state has passed away. You know the mayor used to turn the keys of the city over to every visiting delegation or convention. That always used to be the custom. But there's nothing in the city now that we want to lock up. [Hearty laughter and applause.] Conventions of this kind were formerly invited to "drink in our ozone and slech-like," but now, while we have plenty of invigorating mountain air and ozone at our disposal, the "slech-like" has disappeared forever.
JOHN M. TAYLOR'S GREAT HEROISM
Expert Mechanic Rescues Daniel Curran From River.
RISKS LIFE IN DARING ACT
Thrilling Performance of Young Southern Man at New York, Who Voluntarily Plunges Into River With Clothes on and Saves Elderly White Man From a Watery Grave.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—One of the most thrilling rescues from drowning made in this section of the country for a long time was the one performed by young John M. Taylor of this city on Friday afternoon, July 13, when he rescued Daniel Curran, an aged white man, from the North river after Mr. Curran had sunk the second time. The New York World in speaking of the rescue in its issue of July 14, under the caption "Negro Hero Shames Crowd," says: "Daniel Curran, sixty-five, of 237 West Sixty-sixth street, was working on the pier at West Fifty-third street when he slipped and fell into the water. A large crowd of men on the pier watched the drowning man sink twice without offering assistance. Suddenly

the only Negro in the crowd darted to the end of the pier and without waiting to remove his clothes plunged into the water. Although nearly exhausted, the Negro brought Curran to the pier, from which a rope was thrown to him and the two were pulled from the water.
"Curran was revived by a pulmotor from the Polyclinic hospital. The rescuer is John Taylor. He is chief mechanic for the Broadway Auto school. 213 West Fifty-third street."
The news of Taylor's daring heroism spread rapidly, and he was soon the recipient of many congratulations from both friends and strangers. John M. Taylor is one of a family of eight children, four boys and four girls, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. George W. Taylor of Charleston, S. C. He is not yet thirty, but has had a most eventful career as an all around athlete and successful mechanic. He is a product of the public and the Avery high school of Charleston. As a boy he sold newspapers and did other chores for a livelihood.
Having a desire to better his condition financially, young Taylor left Charleston for New York, where he obtained a position as apprentice with the Times Square Auto company. He soon became master of his job and for nine years was the chief repair mechanic, examiner and buyer for this big concern, which depended almost solely on Mr. Taylor's judgment in all purchases. He was also for a time chief repair mechanic for the Ford Motorcar company, for which he turned out some of the most difficult jobs.
When Benjamin F. Thomas, proprietor of the Broadway Auto school, was in need of an expert mechanic for his repair department he had the good fortune to secure the services of Johnny Taylor, as his friends are wont to call him. He proved to be a bonanza for the business, and his worth has been recognized by Mr. Thomas to the extent that young Taylor has been made a partner in the auto repair business, which Proprietor Thomas conducts on a large scale.
Mr. Thomas is one of our most thrifty business men. Previous to the opening of the Broadway Auto school about nine years ago Mr. Thomas successfully conducted the Hotel Maceo and restaurant ten years. In speaking of his success with the auto school Mr. Thomas says: "Over 3,500 students have graduated from the Broadway Auto school during its brief existence. I do not draw the color line. I give young white men an equal chance with the young men of my own race. "The school is widely known for its efficiency, so much so that it has come to be $n$ common expression to hear owners of machines say. 'My car troubles end when my auto reaches the Broadway auto repair shop, for Thomas' partner knows every wire in any automobile make.'
Fourth Well Has Been Brought in for M-I-L-O
At this time, we feel a little heart-to-heart talk to our stockholders and prospective stockholders will not come amiss. We want to explain for one thing, why we make the claim that MILO stock will reach $1.00 per share on New Year's day.
What We Own----What We Have Done
This company was organized July 12, 1917, under the laws of the state of Colorado, stock fully paid and non-assessable. The company owns leases approximating 1,500 acres in the very best proven oil fields of Oklahoma and Kansas:
Lease No. 1. Known as the Abrams Lease, Chelsea field, Oklahoma, 50 acres. Two wells have been brought in on this lease and a third well is drilling.
Lease No. 2. Known as the Douglas Lease, Chelsea, Okla. 100 acres. The company has brought in two wells on this lease and is drilling a third well.
Lease No. 3. Consisting of 1,000 acres in the Bartlesville, Okla., district, where actual drilling will commence by October 1, with from three to five rigs.
Lease No. 4. In the Mid-Continent field of Kansas, 80 acres; here we may expect a Trapshooter or a Gypsy well.
Thus, actual drilling was commenced by the company on August 12,1917. Four wells have now been drilled. Two are drilling. Each of the four wells that have been brought in flows, without pumping, approximately 40 barrels per day.
Think of 82 MILO Wells
On these Chelsea leases 82 wells, and the geologist and Chelsea district, say that the drihole. When these wells are drill average 100 barrels day after heml Should we get only 50 prodig the Chelsea leases, and cutting our per well down to 50, we would ye 2,500 barrels of oil per day. At this will create a revenue of $5.0
On these two Chelsea leases owned by MILO there is room for 82 wells, and the geologist and other oil experts familiar with the Chelsea district, say that the drilling here will result in not on dry hole. When these wells are drilled, shot and cleaned out, they will average 100 barrels day after being attached to the pumps. Should we get only 50 producing wells and 32 dry wells from the Chelsea leases, and cutting our estimates of 100 barrels production per well down to 50, we would yet have the handsome production of 2.500 barrels of oil per day. At the present price of $2.00 a barrel, this will create a revenue of $5,000.00 per day.

A word to stockholders upon the advisability of holding on to your stock. Rumors will be circulated, stories will be told you by seemingly distinterested people who have only one purpose in spreading them. They will offer to take the stock from your hands at a penny or two profit, so that they, in turn, may make a profit as the stock advances steadily in price.
DON'T SELL YOUR STOCK
THE MILO OIL COMPANY features a charter agreement, not usually to be met with, that at least 50 per cent of the revenue enjoyed by the company must be paid to the stockholders in dividends. This means that $2,500 a day will go into the dividend fund when our wells are all drilled and connected with the pumps.
Only 5 cents per share NOW
It is apparent to every thinking investor that, with our present production, prospects for new production, and with our vast and valuable holdings, MILO stock is certain to be worth $1.00 per share by New Year's Day.

GOOD AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Silent Parade Was Dignified Protest Against Lynching, Says the Eagle.
In concluding an editorial on the "silent" parade to be conducted the next day by the colored citizens of Greater New York the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Friday, July 27, said:
The Eagle regards this parade as a dignified and proper way of displaying race feeling. It trusts that no street violence will spring out of it. The immense exodus of southern Negroes to the north and the degree to which they have been employed as strike breakers has given the question of the rights of colored people a wholly new phase in America.
Well dressed, well fed, fairly prosperous, the adults in the parade will be good American citizens. The children in bright colors will testify to every eye that they are well cared for. No country can afford to tolerate race injustice. Above all, the United States of America must protect all its citizens regardless of color if it is to keep the respect of the civilized world.

BUSINESS WOMEN MEET.
Philadelphia Union Host of Walker Representatives For Two Days. The Philadelphia committee of arrangements for the first national convention of the Madam C. J. Walker agents reports that all details for the two days' meeting have been completed and that the sessions of the convention will be held in the Union Baptist church, Fitzwater street, above Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, beginning Thursday morning, Aug. 30. Large delegations of business women from New York, Newark, N. J.; Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington and from distant cities will attend the convention. This meeting will be the beginning of a new era for the women of our race in business and for those who have business aspirations. Madam Walker will be present to answer all questions and give information concerning the work of the company throughout the country.
The officers of the Walker Philadelphia union, under whose auspices the convention is being held, are: President, Mrs. Margaret M. Thompson; vice president. Mrs. Britannia Walker; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Rosa Owens; recording secretary, Miss Ethel Mitchell; financial secretary, Mrs. V. V. Maginley, and treasurer, Mrs. B. F. Parker.
BAPTIST WOMEN ISSUE WARNING
MOVE FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
Host of Its Supporters Ready to Defend Thrifty Institution For Women and Girls Under the Able and Successful Management of Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs.
The property of the National Baptist convention will quite likely be the center of interest during sessions of the convention, which began at Muskogee, Okla., Thursday, Sept. 6.
Powerful interests are at work, sowing distrust and pointing at petty technicalities in the management, in order that grave and sweeping changes might be accomplished, the ill effects of which may be felt for years to come.
The National Training school at Lincoln heights, Washington, is rounding out its sixth year with a record of which a much older institution might be justly proud. The bulletin on Negro education, compiled by the United States bureau of education, on page 154, refers to this school as one of the best managed schools in the country.
The record of the work accomplished by its graduates is a credit to the race and an honor to the denomination. The following shows concisely how absolutely this work is united with the National Baptist convention. Article 9 of the bylaws reads: "So long as the Women's auxiliary and the National Baptist convention shall foster the institution the executive staff of both conventions and the secretaries of the boards shall always be members of the board of trustees. At their first meeting the trustees shall divide themselves into classes by alphabetical arrangement of states as nearly equal as possible; these classes to serve one, two or three years respectively, but all trustees to continue in their offices until their successors have been elected and signified acceptance thereof. Subsequent elections shall be for the term of three years unless in the case of vacancies, which shall be filled for the unexpired term of the class in which they occur."
Can anything be more co-operative than this? The National Training school has reached its high degree of efficiency under the able direction of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, loyalty assisted by the faithful women of the auxiliary and others. The National Baptist convention as represented by the men has been sadly barren of results. For twenty years it has been building a seminary for the youth of our country, and still this is but a figment of the fertile imaginations of our strong men. While men dreamed dreams and had visions, the women under God have presented a living reality, a visible monument and a source of inspiration. God forbid that their wonderful work should inspire jealousy, incite envy or breed avarice.
The National convention as such has contributed but little, if anything, toward the financial support of this work. There seems to be a deep laid plan to depose Miss Burroughs and place her in the worst possible light before the Baptists of the country. In 1916, when Miss Burroughs made an effort to promote peace in the convention her efforts were seized upon and distorted to give color to the idea that she was seeking to split the women's auxiliary. At the session of the convention held at Savannah Dr. M. M. Rogers, the accountant of the convention, made a most misleading report, in which he made thirteen proved errors. In one instance he reported Miss Burroughs had received $5,000 when she had received only $200.
Following this, a recommendation was offered that the national convention assume direct charge of the National Training school. Despite the seriousness of the report and its effect upon the work of the school, Miss Burroughs was howled down when she sought to set them right. This comps but ill with the spirit of justice and fair play.
To protect the interests of all parties concerned, the trustees in their June meeting voted to employ the public accountant of the District of Columbia (a government expert), an impartial and disinterested party, to audit the books of the training school. The board in so doing proved its absolute unselfishness.
The success of the work has been obtained through the excellent spirit of co-operation existing between its members. It will be interesting to note how well they will stand together under this strong attack. It will be interesting to note who will be found true to the race and right when the attack is made against this lone woman, who has never faltered or failed where sacrifice was needed or when hard work would forward a cause.
The trustees have it within their power to decide this matter. If they stand up all is well. If they fall the work of years will become the center of a tempest of church politics, which will quickly undo that which has been gained at the point of years of sacrifice. Never before has there been a greater need for the Christian spirit and brotherly sympathy to manifest itself in all we do than now. The National Training school is one of the
greatest accomplishments of the colored women not only of this country, but of the world. Six years of diligent labor and a plant that reaches in value nearly the $100,000 mark, more than a hundred training minds sent out from its walls to spread the gospel of service and lend added dignity to the grand old Baptist family, are some of its achievements.
From Africa, Bermuda, Haiti and all points of the states have come eager youth in quest of knowledge. They do not come in vain. At the hands of godly, industrious women they are led to a higher service and deeper conception of life.
Around this great work are thrown the arms of such big hearted, intelligent, progressive women as Mrs. W. W. Layton, Mrs. J. P. Bryant, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, Mrs. Mary Parrish, Mrs. A. Wilson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Brotton, Mrs. Goins, Mrs. Eva Hooper, Miss V. A. Johnson of New Jersey, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Julia Layton, Mrs. M. W. Vaughn, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and also many others. To seek to tear this work from the hands of such women as these is a sad reflection on them and can only be accomplished by their open or silent consent. The question that resolves itself is, can our women be true to their sex or do they, too, feel a lack of confidence in themselves?
With the number of able men, such as the Rev. E. C. Morris, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Rev. J. C. Jackson, Rev. L. K. Williams, Rev. J. E. Wood, Rev. C. T. Walker, Rev. W. H. Jernagin and many others, with whom to consult, some of whom are active board members, there is certainly no ground for distrust nor room for timidity on the part of the women. The eyes of the world will be on the Muskogee convention. Stripped of every semblance of sophistry and misconception and aiming only at the facts and principles involved, it at once becomes clear that the life and success of this great work depend not upon technical points of law, but in the clearly conceived and correctly defined ideas of Christian service, loyalty and love for the race and our denomination.
LEAGUE'S WORK SPREADING
Branch of National Organization Formed at Trenton, N. J. At the call of Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly of Trenton, N. J., fifty representative white and colored citizens met jointly in the council chamber of the Trenton city hall late in August to discuss the conditions growing out of the large influx of Negroes into Trenton. It is estimated that some 3,000 colored people have taken up their residence in Trenton during the past six months.
The principal speaker of the meeting was Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, at whose suggestion Mayor Donnelly called the conference. Mr. Jones told about the league's work in many other cities, including Newark, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Savannah, and urged that a joint community movement of white and colored citizens be formed to meet the housing, employment and recreation problems of the newcomers to the north. He said in part:
"These problems are not new, nor are they peculiar to the Negro. The colored groups are usually neglected by white welfare organizations, who omit Negroes in their program of work. Thus the arrival of many of their southern brethren tends to accentuate the unfavorable conditions and to make them more difficult of improvement. Factories and foundries have made the demand for Negro labor, and it is here to answer the call. No Chester or Fast St. Louis incident can stop its determined advance. Jointly we must lessen the friction incident to the tremendous movement of population by the application of modern philanthropy and unselfish statesmanship."
Mayor Donnelly, who presided, opened the meeting by saying that he had called the best citizens, white and black, together for the conference, for he realized that only through a thorough understanding between the races could peace and harmony prevail in Trenton. He said that he was determined to see the Negroes given decent housing and a fair chance to bring their children up properly and, indeed, to find the north more to their liking than the southern communities from which they had emigrated. Dr. A. S. Fell, city health officer, spoke of the pneumonia and grippe epidemic of the early spring and the overcrowded condition in the houses due to the large number of lodgers who were taken in the homes.
A permanent organization was formed with unanimous approval, the following officers being elected: President, John E. Gill, head of a large local business college and candidate for the New Jersey state assembly; vice presidents, Paul A. Collins, leading colored physician; John M. Herbert and Samuel Haverstick, leading white citizens; secretary, Professor T. Edward Kinney, principal colored public school; treasurer, Robert A. Messler.
The committee has adopted its constitution and settled on its plan of work. This work is a part of the Urban league's efforts to get branch organizations started in the large cities where Negroes are a considerable portion of the population.
Educating Boys at Bordentown, N. J.
The Chautauqua recently held under the auspices of the Bordentown industrial school for boys at Bordentown, N. J., was a splendid success. Senator H. B. Wells of New Jersey and the Hon. James W. Johnson of New York were among those who delivered helpful addresses. The speakers discussed at length the subject of race migration from the south.

SHORTER'S JUNIOR CHOIR EN-
TERTAINS.
"Goodbye, Herbert," "Goodbye, Marie," "God bless you, both," were the ardent sentiments expressed by the members of the Junior Choir, when a farewell reception was given in honor of Miss Marie Starks who left Friday for Howard Univ., and Mr. Herbert Williams, who left Wednesday night for Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend school. This lively event happened at the residence of Miss Jewell Perkins of Marion St., and it was one of the swellest events of the season. While everyone enjoyed himself and herself, yet there was a deep regret of having these two prominent personalities of the Junior department leave. Many handkerchiefs were dampened when the "goodbye" time came.
