M. C. A. Purposes Is Being Appreciated. Baltimore's Successful Tan Daye' Campaign. BY FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Bulletin—But few people have an adequate conception of the great part that the Young Men's Christian association is destined to play among the colored people of this country, not only as a conserver of the manhood of the race and a potent force for the religious and spiritual uplift of men and boys, but as a great force in awakening the race to the possibilities of cooperation along various lines. The Y. M. C. A. movement among colored people in this country began to take root about fifteen years ago when Dr. Jesse E. Moorland and W. A. Hunton were employed as international secretaries and placed in charge of the work. Associations were organized in a number of cities, and the work began to grow. Nowadays, the C. M. A. houses homes for the C. M. A. are given to give way to modern buildings of large dimensions. The Washington Y. M. C. A. is the first among the colored people to occupy a $100,000 building. Its magnificent house at 1816 Twelfth street is now the scene of varied activities and a most praiseworthy work. The colored people of that city subscribed $32,000 toward the erection of the building. Less than $5,000 of the building remains unfinished, and the interesting matter that the first colored Y. M. C. A. in the world was organized in Washington in 1833, just two years after the beginning of the work. Fine Offer of a Chicago Merchant. The great movement for modern association buildings for the race has grown all over the country since Julius Rosenwald, the wealthier of the Chicago merchant, that raised $75,000 for an associat- DR. J. E. MOORLAND. magnificent offer was made a little less than two years ago, over $900,000 has been pledged for new buildings in various sections of the country since Jan. 1, 1911. Of this amount the race has subscribed $280,000, nearly half of the money raised by Mr. Rosenwald's interest in the work among colored people begin when he gave $25,000 toward a new building in Chicago. The colored people of that city gave $17,000, and an $189,000 building is now nearing completion. International Secretary J. E Moorland, who conducted the Chicago campaign, was invited by Mr. Rosenwald to his home to talk over the possibilities of building among the colored people of the country. With his usual enthusiasm Dr. Moorland gave a graphic picture of the work being done and its possibilities, and shortly after that came the announcement that Mr. Rosewald would give $25,000 to any city that would erect a $100,000 building. Successful campaigns have since been conducted in Philadelphia, Springfield, O. I. in dumplings, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Atlanta and in Baltimore. In each city the race more than met expectations. Similar ones are now being planned for Clutchman, Kansas City and New York. J. E. Moorland Called Live Wire Man. The Baltimore campaign closed on Thanksgiving day with $31,000 subscribed. This was $4,000 more than was asked. The Y. M. C. A. composed of white men has pledged $60,000, and the $25,000 offered by Mr. Rosewald will be used in erecting a modern building remarkable in that it was the work of all classes of citizens, who worked indefinitely during ten days to rub the sum needed.

When a telephone like is electric statically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding server as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his car as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover to the receiver, the capacity of which somewhat greater than that of the 1. ternational Secretary Moorland, who directed the campaign, were the leading spirits in marshaling the host of workers. All of the newspapers, especially the race papers, added material in the campaign that caused people of both races to marvel. Even the Baltimore Sun has moved editorially to praise the race for the fine results of the campaign. Secretary D. Berdelenbeen is one of the younger men who have consecrated their lives to Y. M. C. A. work. He received the finishing touches of his education at Lincoln (Pa.) university. He taught school for awhile in Texas and entered Y. M. C. A. work about seven years ago. Dr. Moorland has given the best years of his life to the work. He is a native of Ohio. After W. F. DE BARDELEBEN. graduating from a college at Ada, O. he studied theology at Howard university. Washington. He is now a member of the board of trustees of Howard university. A "live wire" man in every sense of the word and deeply interested in the work of saving young men, he has rendered yeoman service for the cause. He states that he believes that the splendid way men and women of the race have co-operated in a number of cities in the campuses of buildings is that way for general co-operation along civic and economic lines. He believes that the money pledged will be collected easily and that the value of keeping pledges will be brought home to many. Splendid Opportunity For Workers. The work that the Y. M. C. A. is doing for the race centers in a department headed by such well known men as Alfred E. Marland, chairman; William Shone, vice chairman; Frederick B. Schoek, treasurer, and Richard C. Morse, general secretary. Such men as W. Jay Schleifelin, Grace Foster, Lucien C. Warner, N. W. Harris and Frank K. Sanders serve on the general committee. Dr. Moorland and Mr. William A. Hunton are the secretaries with general administrative powers. John B. Watson, Atlanta; Robert P. Hamlin, St Louis; Channing H. Tobias, Augusta, Ga. and David D. Jones, New Orleans, are also employed as international secretaries. A great opportunity exists for conscientious men to serve as general secretaries for this rapidly growing work for the moral, religious and mental uplift of the men and boys of urban communities throughout the United States. NEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Plans For Permanent Central Power and Lighting Plant Considered. For more than a quarter of a century the Tuxedoque Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuxedoque, Ala., has steadily grown not only in the size of its plant, but in the usefulness of its graduates and in the influence which it has been able to exert upon racial conditions throughout the south. The physical growth of the institution has brought it to the point where it is absolutely necessary that a condition of operating in a more complete and up to date heating system, water system, sewerage system, as well as a permanent central power and lighting plant. The trustees have had a competent engineer at work for several months studying the problem. He has now prepared plans which will make a saving of at least 20 per cent in the cost of operating a plant over what we are now paying. The entire cost will be $237,728.90. I am glad to say that Alfred T. White and the Misses White of Brooklyn have promised $25,000 toward this amount, provided the remainder can be secured, says Principal Booker T. Washington. In view of the work that Tuskegee has done and is doing for the whole country, the trustees feel that the school is justified in asking for this amount of money, which it is hoped will be secured within the next few months. Frederick M. Johnson's New Invention. The new bolt food feed recently invented by Frederick M. Johnson, an Afro-American veteran of the Spanish-American war, has been sent to the war department for investigation to its meets for use in the army. Johnson claims that the instrument will fire 300 shots at intervals of twenty seconds in succession. "When you feel any temptation somin' along," said the friend and ad riser, "you mus' say: 'Get the beehle me, Satan.'" "Yes, I did. I done said," answered Erase Pinkley, "do as I imagine I hath been an answer me back; all right, but be wise to same way pathines, but learn no diffrences to me which cause a obsession." Rev. Morton of Plattsburg, Mo., is visiting relatives and friends in this city. Mrs. Vernon Rice went to Muskogee, Okla., last week to see her father, who is very sick. Mr. C. B. Mason of Omaha is now a resident of t his city. Dr. W. S. Carrion, I. F. Ramsey, J. H. Kelley spent a few days of last week hunting in Kansas. The latter is an attorney and he possesses more dexterity with the rifle than the others. We accept his statement. However we don't think it will be necessary for them to open a market to dispose of their game, as it was not that plentiful. I think it safe to say that all Afro-Americans will be glad when Jack Johnson finishes the last scene of his many acts in which he is the principal offending actor. Mr. John Holden last week for a month's visit with relatives and friends in different cities in Texas. The funeral of Mr. E. Clarke was held at New Hope Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Clarke's home was in Olathe, Kans., but he had been employed in this city for several months, and events were present to attend the burial. Miss Myrle Stone, one of the teachers at Lincoln school, who has been sick for about a fortnight, resumed her duties again this week. was in the city a few days the next week. Not long since at Joplin, J. Brownlee and Charles Houston were arrested and charged with entertaining white girls in the former's office and on five counts with misdemeanor. Their bonds were fixed at $1,900 each and by reports sent by the Associated Press an exodus of colored people from Joplin had taken place, fearing mob rule, etc. These latter reports are false, for Mr. White, who is now in this city, but was in Joplin at the time they were arrested and had their preliminary hearing said to the Bystander representative that a block was erected where the trial would hold you could not see any crowd or hear any talk of lynching, and colored people were going to and fro from their work the same as usual and none left the city on account of that episode. Miss Jessie Chester, after a very pleasant visit of a few weeks at Muskogee, Okla., has returned home. The News-Press building, corner of Ninth and Edmond streets, is about completed and we are pleased to inform the many readers of the Bystander that Mr. N. E. Hicklin, an Afro-American, had the contract for plastering all the rooms in that building. The two principal addresses that were delivered at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon, "The Study of the Bible," by Rev. Stewart of Wathena, Kans, and "Race Unity," by Dr. E. W. Thompson, the regular meetings are held every Sunday afternoon from 4 to 5 p. m., and the office's extend an invitation to all men to attend their meetings. DAVID FREEMAN, Kemut, Nova Scotia.

I always have been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men you who tried to get you to emulate speculation with your own aspirations, which would help you to "easy money" - Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep you hand on your pocketbook as you travel first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who could take through the fraud and misdeeds of yourself and yours you will then, writes Mr. Dawes on the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. Boca Washington Portrait A rare and curious mezzotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, ate," as she was dated March 14, 1801; by J. Hinton Linley, a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country. Father, who wrote the "Fornaged Portraits of Washington," says that only one the pression of the mezzotint came under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clinton nor the Carr son sale of Washington.
