Negro Tag Day Today,--Everybody Help ASOLID SOUTH The Re-election of President Woodrow Wilson Can Be Attributed Wholly to the Handicap of the Southern States Where the Electoral Vote is Unfairly Counted. WILL CONGRESS DO ANYTHING What Is Meant By the Solid South? And What Must the Republican Party Do to Regain Control of the Government and to Purge the Country of the Deplorable and Unfair Conditions that Prevail In "Dixie." TAG DAY $1000.00 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16th for the Colored Poor The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? VOLUME IX. NUMBER 16. ASOL The Re-election of Can Be Attribut of the South Electoral WILL CONGRE What Is Meant By the Republican Party D ernment and to P plorable and A WHOLE NATION Since Mr. Hughes has conceded the election of Mr. Wilson it is time to discuss how it happened. Among many things, the solid South is one of the chief reasons why . . . Wilson was re-elected. Few people realize what the solid South means. First, it means that eleven states of the Union have decided that they will only support one political party under any and all conditions; that they will have uniform laws respecting the franchise and these laws will govern the South even though they nullify the federal Constitution. Second, that they will not only deprive the colored race of participation in national or state e election with impunity but they will demand the counting of the colored voters' vote when it comes to establishing the representation of these states in Congress and the electoral college. Third, that they will depend upon violence, intimidation and the general cowardice of its great opponent (the North) to keep the representation they desire. Fourth, that these states will be a unit in keeping alive certain prejudices and racial hatred so that a uniform sentiment will pervade all of them and they in turn will do what they can to convert the rest of the country to their way of thinking. By the above mentioned policy every democratic presidential candidate goes into a presidential election campaign with these electoral votes unquestionably in his columns, regardless of the issue. Any division of opinion in the rest of the states will easily make the Democrat the winner. This was Mr. Wilson's chief asset. The Republican party is responsible for this state of affairs. It had the government for fifty years and was in a position to see to it that no part of the country nullified the Constitution. Because this nullification bore hardest upon colored people nothing was done to correct the gigantic wrong. The South is a fixed asset in the Democratic party. It is opposed to anything the Republican party espouses even though it be the best for the nation. Remember this solid South was formerly the solid slave-holding states. Every one of them fought savagely to retain slavery. As savagely they are now fighting to maintain the political slavery of the colored man. Just as the rest of the country winked at slavery till its stench aroused the nation, so will the stench of political bondage arouse the nation and the SATURDAY for The Kansas City Sun South will again lose in its unjust fight. Can the Republican party come back? Has it lost its fundamental principle—justice and liberty to all? Has a righteous God rejected this party because it refused to stand up for the liberty of the lowliest and surrendered to an unfounded prejudice which has resulted in making America the most lawless and brutal country in the world, Russia not excepted? As a result of its departing from that which gave it power and victory in the sixties, the conquered has become the conqueror and now the South scruples at nothing to rivet its advantage upon the whole country. "The southern rebel is in the saddle" and the country is feeling his hand. Eternal justice recoils against the foul betrayal of the colored man by this nation. The Republican party was and is the receiver of his strength and influence. In the North the colored man gets for his allegiance broken promises. In the South, disfranchisement and the shot-gun. His beloved party gave him over to his enemy there, so that now he is almost beyond aid. As a result the Republican party is routed with discordant notes in almost every state and bitter jealousies are rankling in many bosoms. Defeat stares it at every turn. This party can come back if it again takes up the burden of the oppressed and fearlessly fights, for God will be on its side. The one thing necessary for the Republican party to win is its uncompromising stand for the re-enfranchisement of the colored voter in the South. This issue will win. The moment the colored race is re-enfranchised, that moment the great American crime will be atoned for and every portion of the country will be in position to hear the policies of all parties. The South may hypocritically put away saloons and rum, but it will never put away barbarian until it learns to 'respect the rights of every man alike regardless of his race. To bring this about, the solid South must be broken up, politically. The fight for 1920 will be for the franchise for all men alike. Men will be asked to take their stand. This may be called social legislation. This is what we want. There must be a conscience in our politics. Woodrow Wilson received with happiness the murdered franchise of the colored voter in the electoral college, but he was too cowardly to insist upon the South giving KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916. this representation to the colored voter so that at the polls his wishes might be registered. The plain duty of every newspaper that believes in a square deal is, to fight for the restoration of the ballot to every American citizen. Had the Republican party followed Mr. Lodge in his attempts to apply the Constitution by cutting down the representation of the Souh in congress and he electoral college because of its unjust laws withholding the franchise from colored people and thousands of white Republicans, there would not be in the white house today a Woodrow Wilson. The Constitution is very explicit on this issue. But the Republican party gave away to Ben Tillman of South Carolina and Hoke Smith of Georgia, and a million and a half citizens were left to the mercy of its implacable political foe—Southern democracy. It will be difficult for the party to come back without the aid of our people. The colored race will be less than a race if it does not take this psychological moment to obtain its long-sought blessing. Who will join us in our crusade to awaken the American nation again so that our second freedom may be made sure? Let us do justice to the American nation as well as to our race. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. LYNCHERS ARE HELD FOR MURDER. Abbeville, S. C., Dec. 5.—Charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Anthony Crawford, a Negro, eight white men were held for trial in the circuit court here today, after a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Hammond. Those held were: J. V. Elkin, Samuel Adams, Jess Cann, William Cann, Samuel Cann, Eugene Nance, B. Grant and R. B. Ferguson. Sing Finlay, George White, Jr., M. R. Casey, Jim Dawson, John T. Cheat ham, Lester Cann and J. S. Banks, on whom warrants were served yesterday, were released. The arrests followed an investigation ordered by Governor Manning in to the lynching in Abbeville several weeks ago. Crawford, who was charged with assault and battery on a white man, was first severely beaten, and then was taken from jail, where he had been placed for safekeeping and put to death. Sheriff Burts and his jailors testified at the preliminary hearing today THE CHURCH OF THE LIGHT OF LIFE Allen Chapel, 10th and Charlotte, will hold their first quarterly meeting Sunday, December 17. Rev. A. A. Gilbert will preside. At 3 p. m., Rev. F. F. Moten, the district evangelist, will preach the communion service. Dr. Thomas bids all welcome. Come.

A recent editorial in the columns of The Sun touching upon this subject leads us to further consideration of what is commonly called Negro Folk lore Music. Just as the Negro himself has been made a commercial item in the American social budget, so has his music lore been used and in the same manner vitiated. The peculiar traditions of a people are usually held as a sacred heritage of their own and should serve as one of the means of racial unity. To exploit these traditions for mere attentions is bad enough in itself, but to rob them of their original forms and to shape them into unrecognizable travesties is little less than criminal. Everyone knows that the modern so-called jubilee songs with their ragtime measures and burlesque phrases are no more like the originals than is night like unto day. The old religious fervor expressed in feeling cadences of sorrow and hope have been woven out of form into sacrilegious and undignified jingles written merely to please "white folks," who apparently cannot think of a Negro without associating him with a monkey. Otherwise sedate church choirs are usually prepared to hurl themselves into paroxysms of "coon-lore" jubilee songs upon the appearance of a white face at the door. Ne gro schools, also are expected to have a supply of the same stuff constantly on tap to be used for the softening influence of bringing back the dreams of "Dear grave long ago with her back all scarred up from the slaver's lash. The average jubilee road show is a farce, pure and simple. Every honest musician will admit this, if he is really honest, and every layman knows it as well. To be sure the music lore of the raec should be preserved and kept fresh in the minds of both the old and young of our race, but it ought to be preserved for its natural purpose of race unity and race love rather than for any artificial purpose of race catering or race degradation.

He who speaks to the recorder of a graphaphone and then listens to the reproduction of his record discovers that while his voice sounds familiar enough to his friends it sounds quite strangely to himself. And many of us know still less about our actual characters than about our real voices...Does any one, for instance, ever candidly admit that he is given to envy or prejudice? Do we ever acknowledge that the success, the prosperity, the superiority of another, excites within us a feeling of uneasiness and discomfort, accompanied by a desire if not an actual effort, to mortify and disparage the person in question? Are we not all willing to subseribe to the verdict in which the world's best men have always concurred: that envy thrives only in a low, mean, ungenerous nature; and that it is, without exception, the most unprofitable of all sins? Real justice to all men is so rare and man's humanity to man, so common that not a few men and women go through life Christmas It will pay you to v and look over the varie 18th and Tracy. Death of Mrs. Gray Aunt of Prominent Local Teacher Passes Away in Chicago Wednesday Night. News reached this city Wednesday of the death of Mrs. Martha Gray, 4743 Evans avenue, Chicago, IL. Mrs. Gray will be remembered by her myriad of friends in this city, being one of the pioneer residents of the city of Chicago. She was prominent in both fraternal and religious circles, had been a tireless worker in the hair culture business for the past thirty years in that city, retiring about three years ago, since which time she has lived very quietly at the above number. She is survived by one niece, Mrs. Sallie C. Rogers, one of the best teachers and most accomplished as well as popular ladies of this city, who was called to her bedside last Monday night. The funeral services will take place this morning a 11 o'clock and interment will be made in Washington Cemetery in the city of Chicago. Mrs. Rogers was with her at the time of her death and possibly will be detained for the next ten days or two weeks arranging the settlement of Mrs. Gray's estate. The Sun as well as the many friends of the family extend their sincere sympathy in this hour of sorrow. CAPTAIN TANDY'S BIRTHDAY. Splendid preparations are being made to celebrate Captain C. H. Tandy's 80th birthday, which will take place December 16, 1916, at his home in St. Louis. Captain Tandy has given a lifetime of useful service to his race, and his birthday celebration will be a matter of unusual interest to his people. will hold their first quarterly meeting libert will preside. At 3 p. m., Rev. will preach the communion service. Dr. with scarcely a suspicion and rarely an avowal that they are at all so mean and small as their words and actions frequently proclaim them. They leisurely read a pen picture in which they themselves are portrayed to the very life; but they see nothing familiar in its most prominent features and would indignantly deny that the characters so truthful yedepict bears any resemblance to their own. Such people are genuine mob defenders. Like the slimy serpent they shed the old skin and put on a new sheath. But it is the same old garment of calumny and hatred. And so far from being "the people" the mob defenders are enemies of the people asailing the strongest line of defense about society. So surely as they win others just as surely will lawlessness and anarchy increase in this Christian nation and well may the Villistas laugh at our pretentions.

WELLS. Pastor. THE NEGRO PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. New Organization Progresses. In these times when the lassitude and worn out conditions of old line organizations border on the defunct, we can hail with pleasure the presence of the stimulating "Negro Progressive Business Association," an organization now three weeks old and threatens to become a real active institution in behalf of the Negro commercially and otherwise in greater .ansas City. The purpose of the association is well formed, is in action and the public will soon see good results obtained by this organization of chiefly young colored business men. The old Crony who has been the pest and obnoxious burden of many a well intentioned effort in this town will be strenuously and successfully excluded in this move. The efforts of the N. P. B. A. will be directed toward systematic advertising, general urgency for patronage, schooling in thorough business methods, becoming better buyers, keeping place, salesmanship, service, and a score of other things which the organization claims it will enlarge upon, both for the benefit of the business men and the public. They expect to correct many of the evils now rampant in business circles and through organized effort hope to forcefully invite a larger percentage of trade. No fees are required as yet to enter or for any maintenance. The meetings have been held so far at Watkins Bros. Meeting Hall, the League Enterprise and the Hole In The Wall. These places chosen both for their accommodations and close proximity to the business district. The meetings are noon day affairs.

Church, 19th Street and Woodland Avenue, Monday Night, December 18th Public Installation of Officers of Kansas City Camp No. 5. American Woodmen Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Principal of Lincoln High School and Lawyer W. C. Houston Will Also Speak Kansas City will have the privilege of hearing Hon. C. M. White, Supreme Commander of American Woodmen, at Centennial M. E. Church, Monday night, December 18. This is the first public appearance of Mr. White in Kansas City, and Kansas City Camp No. 5 is fortunate in securing the presence of the supreme commander on this occasion. The supreme com- HON. C. M. WHITE. mander of American Woodmen is an eminent man and is regarded by insurance men as an authority on fraternal insurance. When it is known that the American Woodmen, a colored fraternity, with more than thirty millions of dollars of insurance written, with a system and management, with safety and soundness surpassed by no one of the great white fraternal societies and with a 100 per cent valuation which meets every requirement of the insurance laws of the various states, is presided over by this man, stamps him as one of the business giants of the day. Kansas City Camp No. 5 was recently organized by Deputies George C. Martin and H. L. Billups. It has in four weeks' time over 150 of the best men and women of our city as members. The American Woodmen is one fraternal society that men and women of character and ability represent it. The Hon. C. M. White is a University of Michigan man. Mr. George C. Martin, national deputy, is a product of Clark University'ty, Atlanta, and Northwestern University of Evanston, Ill. Prof. H. L. Billups, formerly of George R. Smith College, Sedalia, recently dean of Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, is a product of Oberlin and Michigan. He is an L. L. B. & Ph. D. At Monday night's meting Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Lawyer W. C. Hueston and Rev. Wm. Alphin of the Second Church will speak. An interesting program will be rendered. The following officers will be installed: ALONG THE COLOR LINE Banks and electrical engineers. 703 Glass blowers. 42 Jewelers, watchmakers,, factory. 157 Jewelers not in factories. 101 Paperhangers. 968 Plasterers. 6,175 Pressmen (printing). 136 Cigar and tobacco factories. 16,306 Conductors (steam railroads). 120 Conductors (street railroads). 44 Locomotive engineers. 335 Locomotive firemen. 5,188 Motormen. 108 Ticket and Station Agents. 50 Agents of Express Co. 12 Telegraph operators. 73 Telephone operators. 289 Bankers, brokers and money lenders. 336 Storekeepers and owners. 30,527 Retail merchants. 20,653 Undertakers. 953 Policemen. 576 The figures above are authentic, being taken from as they are from the Department of Commerce Bulletin, and are worth a place in the scrap book of every colored man who desires to be armed with an argument, which is proof against the traducers of the Negro.

To them the regiment is indebted for its splendid reputation and a loyalty that has been characteristic of the 25th Infantry.

Get the family together at least at meal time and save a little talk just among yourselves. Listen to what the children have to say. It will interest you; perhaps instruct you. Try this year to enjoy Christmas cheer without whiskey. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the Savior, who afterwards taught the virtue of temperance and moderation. What a mockery it is to make the annual event one of bibulous hilarity! And let us remember the poor and unfortunate of our own race right here in the city—the sick widow, the hungry, fatherless children, shivering while some of us waste enough to make them all happy and comfortable. You'll find them very near your own home. Every secret society, every social club, every church should at this season of the year make some sort of donation to general charity. It should not confine itself to its own narrow limits. Generosity of spirit is never lost. It carries its own reward in every act. INTER-STATE LITERARY ASSOCIATION. The Inter-State Literary Association of Kansas and the West will hold its 26th Annual Session in Topeka December 27, 28 and 29. This session will be in the nature of a celebration as the society was organized in that city 25 years ago. The principal officers this year are Dr. G. G. Brown, president, Wichita, Kans.; Mrs. Ella M. Guy, Cor. Secy., Topeka, Kans.; Mrs. F. M. Goodson, Rec. Secy., St. JoJseph, Mo., and Hon. Jas. H. Guy, Chairman Executive Committee, Topeka, Kans. This is expected to be a banner session. DIGNIFIED CHRISTMAS GIFTS At the Harris Printing establishment, 1515 E. 18th St., Kansas City, Mo., will be found as usual this season a line of Christmas cards which will not be shown by other small establishments in this city. To those who have learned that value in Christmas gifts are by far the secondary consideration. That sentiment is all in all, we would ask to look over this line and place their orders prior to December 5 in order that their deliveries may be made in ample time. This beautiful line of embossed engravings can be seen daily at the above named establishment. It costs you nothing to view these beauties even should you fail to order. You will find the customary courteous attention in evidence. The management invites you to come. You owe to your wife, mother, daughter or sweetheart a box of delicious fresh chocolate candy or a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream at Smith's Drug Store, corner 18th and Tracy.

You know what you're doing but nobody else does. Amen. —That one of the best business qualifications a man or woman can possess is to learn to attend to their own business. —That it takes more than a wooden head to produce thoughts that will burn. —That it's not much use to lay plans unless you warm up to your work and hatch them out. —That language was given to us that we might say pleasant things to each other sometimes. —That nothing pleases a fat woman more than to have a man call her "his little girl." —That you should not keep a Leap Year girl waiting and it's so near the end of the year. She may have other engagements in view. —That the Ivanhoe Ball to be given this year will be the most elaborate social affair ever witnessed in greater Kansas City. —That "whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap" is being fulfilled in more instances than one nowadays. —That more medical men, physicians dentists and pharmacists are taking physical training in proportion to their numbers than men of any other profession or vocation. "There's a reason." THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1916 Y. M. C. A. Notes Rev. J. D. Barksdale, Presiding Elder of the Cape Girardeau District of the A. M. E. Church, addresses the Men's Meeting Sunday, December 17, at 3:30 p. m. classes in session weekly at the Y. M. C. A. for men and boys and one mixed class, ten in all. Three of these are for boys exclusively, one for railroad men. Four of the men's classes convene each Wednesday from 7 to 7:50 p. m. The mixed class is in session from 8 to 9 o'clock the same evening. Visitors and prospective students are always welcome. The educational lecture "An Evening With Shakespeare" by Dr. E. J. Craft. Rector of St. George's Episcopal Church, Monday, December 18, 8:15 p. m., is to be a treat worth the time and attention of all lovers of the drama and literature. Dr. Craft's early education before deciding for the ministry peculiarly fitted him for this type of lecture. The Men's Club of St. Augustine's Mission invites the public to take advantage of this free offer in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The "Blues," still have a lead over Captain Young's forces of nine. The race is so close to date that it is often remarked that the returns are similar to those during he recent uncertain days immediately following the presidential eliction. As two or three doubtful states held the balance of power, likewise does much depend on some of the unheard from workers as to the final result. Each team at the boosters' Big Bean Dinner on Monday night assured its captain that the final score would proclaim him and his team the winner. One boy taking advantage of the reduced rate paid his membership fee two years in advance. Many unexpected developments are expected on the night of Tuesday, December 19, when the final count is in. 2608 PACKARD AND OVERLAND CLYDE BELL, Manager Peoples' D Northeast corner of Eight Peoples' Drug Store Northeast corner of Eighteenth Street and the Paseo For twelve years we have served you.

It's quite a publication now, and of which the railroad porters might well be proud. L. W. Washington's serial articles on the part played by "Negro Soldiers of the World" has been attracting attention. Mrs. Clara Harris, 592 Tracy, has been confined at home with a badly scalded foot, but it is somewhat better. Miss Elsie Lair, the accomplished teacher at Troy, Kansas, was a visitor in our city last Saturday. Kansas City is always glad to welcome Miss Lair. Officer John W. Williams, one of the oldest and most efficient Negro officers on the police force, suffered a severe and sudden stroke of paralysis while sitting at the supper table at his residence, 1803 East 18th street, second floor, last Monday evening, and is in an extremely serious condition. The Sun wishes for him a speedy recovery. The recital by Miss Lillian Tooley, the famous reader, at Allen Chapel, Wednesday evening, was an enjoyable affair, and those present were highly pleased with the excellence of the program. Miss Tooley is a reader of exceptional ability and always pleases her audiences. The Park Board has installed a new plano at the Garrison Field House.

There are, in this country, more than 10,000,000 colored people, nearly as many as there are Jews in the entire world. The black man has been fighting the race problem nearly 200 years, and the Jews have been fighting it 5,000 years. Will the colored man continue to fight the race problem or will he profit by the experience of the Jews? We have won our freedom; we have our rights under the law regardless of the fact that we are denied our privileges. But could we unite our forces like the Jew and turn our disadvantages into advantages and give one-tenth of the time, the energy, the influence the contribution, the eloquent speeches and the prominence that we give to the discussion of equal rights and the problem, to actual work in organizing, promoting, supporting and maintaining business corporations among our people, with the industrial foundation we now have, we could within a few years, like the Jew, buy our way through race prejudice and discrimination.

Manguré, La 1 In picking an All Missouri Valley team the principle to be followed lies in selecting men who could be formed into @ combination that could defeat any eleven in the section. But it is a risky business—always there 1s some team slighted, some player not given his just desert. However, as letters have been sent to coaches of all the leading teams and officials re- questing them to send in thelr selec- tion, if they respond you will not have a One-Man Team, but rather a com- posite eleven, ‘The back field, as shown in my se- lection, is especially powerful. Two— Kelly and Manley—are good kickers; all can cath, punt, interfere and as for speed they are about the fastest and most versatile set that has ever graced the gridiron. Put any one of these men back on kick formation and give him a little interference, the op- ponents would look like dray horses in a two-minute trotting race, Kelly starlds head and shoulders above all quarter backs who playeil this season. Willis, his closest rival, cannot handle the ball as cleanly nor gain as much ground, Tibbs and Man- ley lug the pigskin for gains any time they are called, while “Snake” is the best interferer and broken field run- ner. For the above reason these men GAL 12—K C BUN... eas was displaced the back field men of the second, team who were individual stars for their respective teams, For the ends, Baugh of W.

I. and Columbia A, C, ‘As offensive ends they might be as good but they do n ot measure up when it comes to defense work. Yet ‘these end-rushers are not up to the standard this year. "Tackles, Burbrige and Turner. Bur brige is one of the largest men in the game, he is as strong as an ox and aid the yeoman work under most dis- couraging circumstances. Turner did phenomenal work for West’s team, rather shifty on his feet. “Booty” Brown was undoubtedly the steadiest performer of the year and could always be relied upon. Foster is a capable guard, follows the ball well and stops nearly all play aimed at him, Coates at center of W. U. was un- questionably the greatest pivot man by long odds. He was a terror on the defense, quick to size up a play and when that 170 pounds of human flesh hit a back coming through the line or around an end ft meant stop. Captain. Kelly of L. I. is selected as captain because of his cool readedness and ability to take advantage of his oppo- nent’s weakness, and right directing in a crisis. Note—Read The Sun for Coach P.

Lee) For two consecutive years the fa mous 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 1914. ‘The defeat that was adminis tered to Howard on “Turkey Day," gives Hampton the claim to the cham pionship title of 1916, 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 tha wins the game. A fresh grave has beet made for the Howardites to remain in until next year. Hampton broke the record by using 18 men to defeat Howard, while th Howardites used 20.

Members of the Des Moines college football squad this week elected Rich- mond, thelr star Negro iullback, cap- tain of the 1917 squad. The election was held following a venison dinner given members of the squad by Dr, F. BE. Foulk, 1631 Ninth street. ‘Dr. Foulk, who is an ardent hunter and fisher, recently returned from a deer hunt in Minnesots, the venison served being a part of buck that he shot. Richmond probably is the first ‘Negro in this state to be honored with the captaincy of a football team, but his election was merited.” He was the star of the Tigers’ play this fall, be- ing_a good line bucker, open field run ner, punter, drop kicker and forward passer, and above all a clean player who won the admiration of team. mates and opponents alike, Without doubt this is the first and greatest hofior that any colored stu: dent ever received in Iowa in college, Mr. Richmond is at present, to our knowledge, the only cotored’ student attending this college this year. GREAT GAME AT INSTITUTE. West Virginia’s Lighter Team Held Howard University to a Tle Geer, Institute, W. Va.—What was pro nounced the greatest football contes! ih this section for many years was the recent game between the Wes! Virginia Collegiate Institute elever and the squad from Howard Univers ity, which resulted in a tle score, ‘ to 7. ‘The West Virginia boys put a crimy in the string of successes of the rep resentative team from the District and before the first half was over change Howard's air of confidence to that o the grim desperation of one who fights hopelessly with his back to the wall Charley Case, the well known black face vaudeville actor, either killed himself or was accidentally shot, ac cording to report, while cleaning his revolver in New York City. His wife on hearing of the news in Buffalo, died from the shock. Charley Case was a colored actor who, like Billy Windom, formerly appeared with and associated with the actors of his own race out of Philadelphia. Later he passed for white, married a white woman and also amassed a fortune as the high: est salaried male performer of his time in vaudeville. WEST VIRGINIA DOWNS WIL.

Don’t hurry, too swift arrives as tardily as too slow. Sleep and rest abundantly. The best physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merriman. Spend less nervous energy than you ‘make; work like a man, but don't be ‘worked to death. Be cheerful; a light heart lives long. Think only healthful thoughts. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Avoid passion and ex citement; a moment's anger may be fatal. Associate with healthy people; health, as well as disease, is contag ious. Don’t carry the whole world on your shoulders, far less the universe; trust in the good Lord. Never de: spair; lost hope is a fatal disease. ADVICE TO NEGROES ‘The National League on Urban Con- ditions among Negfoes has issued the following circular letter: Negroes in large nutbers are leav- ing the South for the North. , Many are securing good positions. ‘Those who are sober and respectable and know how to give an honest day's toll are holding their positions. ‘The tn. dolent, inefficient men, however, are soon discharged, become a burden to the Northern communities and bring reproach and humiliation to thrifty colored citizens in communities where white people have not hitherto considered Negroes desirables, ‘The National League on Urban Con- ditions among Negroes urges the right-thinking Negroes of the South and everywhere to discourgae the wholesale migration of sbiftless peo ple between any two points, be they North or South. The League alsc warns Negroes against fraudulent agents who are collecting employment fees and who disappear soon after wards. Negro labor is in demand. Use that fact to improve the efficiency of that labor by demanding—First, bet ter wages where the wages of color ed men are below the current wage; second, better working conditions s¢ that your health will not be impaired by the work you do; third, better liv ing conditions both for yourself and family, so that your efficiency as s worker will not be impaired by living conditions which prevent proper resi and recreation to fit you for the day's labor, and base these demands on the facts that all these things will make your work more valuable to yoursel and to your employer and make fo better feeling between the races. ‘The National Urban League urge: Negroes everywhere to take advan tage of this great industrial oppor tunity to work in co-operation witt their local neighbors whether Nort) or South, for the improvement of con ditions which will affect both races, TO SAVE YOUR CLOTHES go to Simms .

St. Louis, Mo., Dee, 11, 1916.—Dr, ‘John W. Gilbert, Dean of Theology at Paine College, Augusta, Ga., one of the leading Negroes of the country, provoked much favorable discussion here when he addressed The Federal Counell of the Churches of Christ in "America which has been tn session [here since Tyesday. The eloquent e- ucator was speaking to the report of the Commission in the nterest of Col- ored Churches. He was frequently anit loudly applauded by the five hun- dred delegates, majority of them white, while he made his plea for [larger cooperation of the white pul- pits of the South in the interest of Justice for the Negro, Among other things he said: “Sentiment is higher than law. Sen- timent overrides the law when the law is not the offspring of sentiment. ‘Therefore ft is the duty of the mints. try to change the sentiment antagon- istic to the colored man. Most preach- ers are cowards in the face of senti- ment and therefore for fear of losing their personal popularity they fail to teach the ethics of Christianity, fail to talk and act upon the principle of the equality of man and man, the prin- jclple of the Fatherhood of God and the | brotherhood of man.” He spoke hope- jfully of the brotherly relationship ex- isting between the M. E. Church, South, and the C. M.E. Church. He belteves that most so-called Chris- tians need a vision of Peter's sheet in order to be taught that “God is no respector of persons.” | “Phe Negro.” said he, “is more sin- {nea against than sinning in the mat: |ter of residence in unsanitary, un- | drained and dirty sections of our cities | and towns; also in the matter of alco: |holfe Hquors; for no Negroes own dis. |tilleries; almost none operate bar: |rooms. Whitt men manufacture liquor |and sell it to our race, who are de- |bauched and ruined therebys’ Dr. Gilbert also contends that our Negro | womanhood is sinned against and de- |fenseless in many places because the |community sentiment is against her. |As to education, the race is sinned against because he does not get his just share of the public educational [money and, therefore, our rural {schools are overcrowded and teachers |incompetent and underpaid at that | Competent teachers cannot work for |the pittance offered them as salaries ‘| He further contends that the argu ment so often resorted to, viz: that |the white people pay the larger par lof the taxes, is false in its politica economy, for in the last analysis, the ‘consumer, the renter, the tiller, the | miner—these ptople pay the taxes. I is their purchases in the marts, thei ‘labor in the fields and mnes that "/give taxable value to material things The preacher must teach the people | the truth along these lines. | He suggests that Ministers’ All "ances composed of white and black | preachers be formed in every commun lity to take into consideratios all mat | ters pertaining to the communits | without regard to race or color. He also suggests that at least tw jand the same Sundays per year be | set for preaching to both races of - their duties to each other. He pledge¢ |the hearty co-operation of the Negré ‘ministry of all churches with thei ‘white brethren in any endeavor, North or South, to inaugurate an era of good will, love and mutual help.
