THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. III. CLOSING OF ROGER WILLIAMS The Thirty-ninth Commencement Celebration. BACGALAUREATE SERMON BY REV. W. S. ELLINGTON. LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCES—DEGREE OF D. D. CONFERRED ON REV. T. J. SEARCY, OF MEMPHIS—CAPTIVATING AND SOUL-INSPIRING MUSIC—PROF. JOHNSON MADE HIS FIRST REPORT—OFFICERS OF ALUMNI ELECTED—NEARLY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED ON NEW BUILDING—ALUMNI RALLY TO THEIR ALMA MATER. Once more the friends and alumni of Roger Williams University are made glad by the successful closing exercises. The history of the school is unique and its existence a necessity. Against what great odds has it forged forward during the now past five months of its re-establishing existence! There was a time when all seemed lost and the place of its habitation seemed doomed to become desolate; but,— "Wearied souls through dust and heat Rise from disaster and defeat And conscious still of the divine Within them lie on earth supine No longer." There were those whose faith never failed them in the conviction that their cause and contention was a just one, of which the past term of five months is proof-positive and the attendance of the commencement week exercises was was no less indicative. FRIDAY EVENING PROGRAM. The Academic Rhetoricals proved a good starter for what was to follow. The participants seemed, as the President remarked, to "size up to the situation." That they were "in dead earnest" was not to be questioned, and that they did well the audience is a witness. The program was as follows: Inspection Invocation. Thou O Lord—University Chorus. In Dead Earnest—A. A. Bennett. The Grace of Womanhood—Mary B. Bracken. Beauties and Blessings of Rural Life Beauties and Blessings of Rural Life —Z. U. G. Carlton. —Z. U. G. Carlton. Fair Moments—L. S. Crocker. Piano Solo—Mrs. A. M. Townsend. Elements of Success—J. C. Haynes. Reaching the Apple—R. D. Jones. Defective Modes of Education—Eleanor Maxwell. Spirit and Purpose of Education—Melissa Oden. Manifestations of Power—E. K. Williams. Quartette—Messrs. Haynes, Bennett, Baird and Burns. Announcements. Benediction. SUNDAY AFTERNOON'S BACCALEAUREAT SERMON BY REV. W. S. ELLINGTON. The baccalaureate sermon was ably preached by Rev. W. S. Ellington, A.B., Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and pastor of the First Baptist Church, Nashville. The text was simple: "Consider the lilies how they grow." The three points in the main were that they grow—first, downward into the earth; secondly, that they grow outward; thirdly, that they grow upward. Having thus discussed these phases of his subject, he spoke with evident feeling of the history and struggles for existence through which Roger Williams had passed and is passing—of the mysterious way through which a kind Providence seems to be leading those whose affections and interests center about Roger Williams University and the principles for which it stands. He spoke for fifty minutes, ending with an appeal to all that they resolve to rise in their might and play no longer the young mocking bird act with tight-shut eyes and wide-open mouth, to take in and enjoy what others have hustled for. The sermon over, the president made the remark that the sermon was NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1908. intensely practical and sounded "collection-like." The sentiment prevailed to lift a collection, which was done by Chairman Haynes of the Trustee Board to the amount of $20.25. The lifting of a collection at a baccalaureate sermon would seem to grate a little on the feelings of the dignified, but the conditions seemed to justify it. MONDAY MUSICALE. The meeting of the Board of Trustees was set for Monday afternoon as per announcement cards, but for good reasons was re-set for Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. The Musicale for Monday night was as planned conducted by the "Busy Bee Club," an auxiliary of the Nashville Alumni of Roger Williams University. It had been arranged and was managed by Mrs. G. B. Bandy. An especial feature was that of the participants from the Colored Department of the Tennessee School for the Blind, who rendered both vocal and instrumental numbers—each one doing his part with ease. The vocal solo by Master Wm. Harris revealed in him the possessor of a rich, yet flexible baritone; and the number entitled "Forsaken," whose tone for its sweetness together with its sadness touched every one who chanced to be present—some to tears unbidden. The recitation by Mrs. Maggie Cheers and the numbers with two encores by Madame Tartt were all of a high and pleasing order. The program in full was as follows: 1. Song—University Chorus. Prayer. 2. Vocal Solo—"Bonnie Sweet Bessie." Gilbert—William Harris. 4. Trio—"Forsaken," *Kaschst*—Flossie Connington, Bell Reed and Lizzie Cassey. 5. Instrumental Solo—"Our" (Dause Capricciose), Op. 104, *Codmas*—Lizzie Cassey. 6. Recitation — "Looking for the Slain"—Mrs. M. E. Cheers. TUESDAY. TRUSTEE BOARD MEETING. At 10 o'clock the Board of Trustees met in regular annual session. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Haynes, who out of courtesy to the senior trustee, Mr. H. W. Buttorff, asked unanimous consent that Mr. Buttorff act as chairman, which he did. The report of President Johnson was first called for, which he presented in type-written form. It was heard, received and adopted in full after passing upon the three following attached recommendations: 1. That some arrangement be made whereby the teachers may receive the remaining half of salaries unpaid them. 2. That Academic Diplomas be granted to William Shela Starks, Nashville, and Daniel Jere Tate, Lagrange, Mo. 3. That the degree of Doctor of Divinity be conferred on Rev. Thomas Jefferson Searcy, Memphis. The matter of the raising of Five Thousand Dollars on the field for the purpose of erecting another needed building on the campus was thoroughly discussed. Correspondence from Recording Secretary H. L. Moorehouse of the American Baptist Home Mission Society was read to the Board in which the sum of $2,500 is offered as a gift toward the sum for every $1,000 the Baptists of the State raise. The proposition was accepted. At this juncture Chairman Buttorff proposed generously to make every $900 we raised $1,000—all the rest of the Board in sums of from $25, by Mr. A. B. Hill, down to $5 on the same proposition concurring. In this way there was subscribed in the neighborhood of $1,000 on the $5,000 to be raised. Having heard the report of Treasurer Townsend, and having referred his and the financial portion of President Johnson's to an Auditing Committee, after some other routine, the Board adjourned. BUSINESS MEETING OF THE ALUMNI. At 3 p. m., as planned, the Alumni was called to order by President Bandy, who ordered the collection of annual fees and appointed committees on Nominations and Condolence. Letters bearing greetings from Alumni on the field were read as is the annual custom by the Treasurer to whom letters with remittances had been sent as follows: George M. Porter, Chicago.....$ 5 00 P. A. Hanby, Boynton, Okla..... 5 00 Mrs. M. J. (Oglesby) Ander- LAYS CORNER STONE FOR CAR-NEGIE LIBRARY LAST FRIDAY. CEREMONY TOOK PLACE ON BENNETT FIELD — IMMENSE THRONG PRESENT—MOST ENTHUSIASTIC ADDRESS DELIVERED—CHANGES HIS OPINION ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION—GENIAL SECRETARY PRESENTED FLORAL DESIGN IN SHAPE OF HORSESHOE—GLEE CLUB FURNISHES INSPIRING MUSIC—NEGRO'S EDUCATION MUST BE IN FORM OF PYRAMID. At noon Friday the weather looked as though the city would be visited with a Texas cyclone, a thunderstorm or a cloudburst. The interest in Nashville was centered in the northern part of the city, as the secretary of War, Wm. H. Taft, who is also a candidate for the nomination on the republican ticket for president of the United States, was scheduled to participate in the corner-stone laying at Fisk University. The rain came down in torrents about noon; this was preceded by a part of a threatening cyclone, which proved to be a dust storm, but by 2 o'clock the clouds had cleared away, the sun was shining bright and an immense throng of visitors gathered on Bennett Field, while a procession was formed by the students at the gate, the College Glee Club led the way singing the college songs. The Senior class followed President Merrill and the guest, Secretary Taft. The Glee Club sang "Steal away to Jesus." The ceremonies were not lengthy. Mr. Taft was introduced and spoke as follows: "It is a great pleasure for me to be here and to testify the earnest interest I feel in the event which this day celebrates and the institution the progress of which it indicates. I have been going through a process of education in the Philippine Islands. There I have had the experience in problems which I might have known nothing of had I stayed at home. "The United States in those Islands is trustee for the uplifting of 8,000,000 people, and in the United States we have a more sacred duty to the 10,000,000 Negroes, whose ancestors we brought here against their will. By the efforts of the United States they should be fitted to enjoy all the privileges of citizenship. "It is a problem that we must solve, and it is solving itself. Just look back forty years at the marvelous development in education, industry and finances. "The education of the colored race has been much criticised and at times I have myself doubted the wisdom of such a classical institution as this. I thought that we should begin from the bottom and leave off the higher education at first; but I have read further and my opinion has changed. With a race such as yours you can have no education that is not in the form of a pyramid. You must have educated leaders. "One of the first necessities of your race is hygienic life, and for this you must have educated physicians; the same way with teachers or lawyers. But a lawyer is an excellent man to advise, but most of this is in regard to property rights, and until you accumulate property you will not need lawyers as you do physicians and teachers. The ministers are a necessity to your race and to be good ministers they must be highly educated. They must be educated to lead the colored race on to a successful solution, with which the prosperity of the nation is so closely allied. "This question must be solved. The colored race owes allegiance to the same flag and lives in the same country, and the United States must use all its resources to aid in the development of the race. "The best hope for the young Ne- gro is the Southern white man, with whom he lives and is associated. I am deeply interested in the success of the Booker Washington doctrine, which is for the colored race to cut a path to success by making others see how essential and indispensable he is and how useful to the community of which they are a part. And as they become more valuable, the wrongs they have suffered and the disadvantages under which they have labored will disappear.' The speech was received with great enthusiasm and applause for it seemed to be sincerely meant. Prof. H. H. Wright then read a list of over fifty articles of interest from an historical standpoint, which he had placed in the box. The Jolly Secretary of War then laid the cornerstone, calling for plenty of mortar so as to make a good job, to the great amusement of the crowd. Dr. G. W. Henderson offered an appropriate prayer. The Glee Club sang a jubilee song with the refrain "Everybody talkin' about heaven ain't goin' there," which again brought forth the hearty laughter for which the Secretary is noted. Mr. W. A. McIntyre, a member of the college senior class, presented to Mr. Taft in behalf of the faculty and students a horseshoe wreath of magnolia leaves and blossoms which was graciously received by the distinguished guest and the exercises were over. A few handshakes indulged in by those nearest the Secretary as he moved through the crowd in retiring will be treasured in the memory of the participants. MR. HART RETURNS FROM GENERAL CONFERENCE. Mr. D. A. Hart, superintendent at the National Baptist Publishing House and manager of the Globe Publishing Company, returned from Norfolk, Va., last Friday morning, in company with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ellen Tyre, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Pinkston and Dr. J. A. Jones, president of Turner Normal and Industrial College, at Shelbyville, Tenn. The party had been attending the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Hart was looking well and expressed himself as being delighted to be back home and to greet his friends. He said he had a delightful and profitable trip, having come in contact with many of the leading men of the race. While in Norfolk Mr. Hart was among a number of newspaper men who were banqueted at the Hotel Mount Vernon by the proprietor, Mr. L. W. Bright. He also visited many of the historic points in the tide water section, prominent among which were the navy-yard at Portsmouth, Va., where several of the largest vessels in the navy were anchored; among them were the new North Carolina, which is the largest armored vessels in the navy. Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe and Hampton Institute were also visited. During a stop over in Richmond, a flying visit was paid Miller's Hotel, Price's Undertaking Establishment, the True Reformers' Bank and several other points of interest. OFFICERS ELECTED. The annual election of officers was the feature of the regular meeting of the Golden Star Lodge No. 3, at their hall on Tuesday night, May 12. The regular routine of business was transacted.

There was a contest between Kayne Avenue and Fifth Avenue Baptist Churches. Kayne Avenue was awarded a $2.50 gold piece for rendering the best music, although Fifth Avenue's renditions were good. On the second night Mr. Wm. H. Hollins was best speller and he was awarded a $1.00 gold piece. The church was beautifully decorated. The church is moving on nicely under the leadership of Rev. H. M. Burns. The sum of $45 clear of expenses was raised. No.21 ARRIVED SUNDAY MORNING FROM WASHINGTON. D. C. ON MONDAY MORNING IN COMPANY WITH DR. CHAPPELLE, HIS PREDECESSOR, MR. BRYANT MAKES AN INSPECTION OF THE PUBISHING CONCERN OVER WHICH HE WAS PLACED BY THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF HIS CHURCH-FIRST PRACTICAL MAN TO BE PLACED IN SUCH POSITION SPENT PART OF HIS EARLY LIFE AS APPRENTICE HERE. On last Monday morning Mr. Ira T. Bryant, secretary-elect of the Sunday School Union Publishing House, entered upon his duties as the head of that department of his Church. Mr. Bryant was elected at the recent session of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Norfolk, Va. He succeeds Dr. W. D. Chappelle, who has been at the head of the institution for eight years. He set out about six years ago to point out the possibilities of the publishing house which has been run here for over twenty years, printing literature for the Sunday-schools of the A. M. E. Church. So convincing were his arguments that the delegates to the last General Conference decided to give this brilliant young man a trial. About sixteen years ago Mr. Bryant was serving in the Sunday School Union is an apprentice. Dr. C. S. Smith, now Bishop Smith, was in charge at that time. Young Ira was always considered a bright boy and showed great aptitude in grasping the art of printing. He left Nashville when quite a boy and entered the Normal Industrial School at Normal, Ala. He was not there long before he was put in charge of the printing department at that institution. He held that position until he graduated, when he took the civil service examination for copyist in the Government Printing Office in Washington, D. C. He served in that capacity for several years, receiving every promotion to be obtained in the service. While employed there Mr. Bryant studied law in Howard University, graduating from that institution with high honors. When he set his mind on the publishing house here he at the same time set about to thoroughly prepare himself to meet the requirements in the printing world of to-day. So he mastered the machines that are so very essential in up-to-date printing offices. Mr. Bryant is an expert operator of both the linotype and monotype casting machines. He is the first practical printer to be placed at the head of any of the publishing houses fostered by the Negro church organizations in this country, and his method of conducting a publishing house will be watched with keen interest. Mr. Bryant was seen by a Globe reporter Wednesday. The reporter found him with his sleeves rolled up, diving into the business. He was pleasant and though very busy, could find time to say a word to a newspaper man. No details were gone into, as the new secretary had not had time to fully investigate matters, but the general appearance of things showed a busy air. TO B. Y. P. U. AND SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.

KNOWLES SCHOOL. The patrons and friends of Knowles School were highly entertained last Friday, May 22, by the teachers and pupils. At the suggestion of Mrs. KE. M. Dickerson, it was decided to have an exhibit of the work in Manual Training and to invite patrons and friends to inspect it. All set to work in earnest to make the affair a success, and were more than repaid for their efforts by the words of praise heard on all sides, After a musical and literary pro- gram by the pupils, under the man- agement of Mr. G. R. B, Waters, the visitors were invited to inspect the gous of the pane cae sienlals of tained was no less manifest in this particular Hne, for the work from the First through the Sixth Grade was well nigh perfect. The room in which the exhibits were shown reminded one of a spring bazaar; it being gaily de- corated, and every available space covered with cut flowers and potted plants, At the conclusion of the program light refreshments, furnished by the teachers, were served the guests, the boys and girls of the Sixth Grade do- ing the serving. Between 200 and 300 visitors called during the day. Dr. J, P.

GENUINE SYMPATHY MATERIAL- [io iaxercives oli vani LY ILLUSTRATED. selene g eae Many citizens know of the recent loss to Dr. J. BE. Wells of two horses in the past eight months. So keenly did many of Dr. Wells’ friends sympa- thize with her in this double loss, that a surprise company met at her home on Maple street Sunday even- ing, May 10, at 7 p. m. and presented the following letter: “To Dr. Wells: “In settlement of old scores against you, we wish you to pur- chase a horse to your own satisfac- tion, with this slip attached. With the love and best wishes of your friends: “Bishop and Mrs. I. B. Scott, Dr. and Mrs. Preston Taylor, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Hubbard, Miss Grace Althea Page, Miss Katie Lyon, Mrs. M. B. and Miss C. M. Bryant, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Rev. Dr. J. H. Kumler, Dr. and Mrs. J. A. McMillan, Mr. Willliam Boger, Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Cashin, Decatur, Ala; Dr. and Mrs, B. B. Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Langston.” Pinned to the letter was a bright, new $100 bill and 50 cents for a hitch rein. In response to this noble act of friendship, Dr, Wells said: “My dear friends—Words fail me in attempting to frame my _ sincere appreciation of this act of true friend- ship. I knew my friends sympathized with me in this loss. But believe me, J never expected any material sympathy, I have been very bitter over the loss of my last horse. I rebelled for many days about tlhe same. But one thousand times the valne of the horse could never com- nensate me for the spirit that prompt- ed this demonstration of your true friendship. It is the first time in my life IT have ever been truly sur. prised, but will hold this surprise as sacred. This act will re. store my full confidence in our Heavenly Father, and whatever comes in future I will know that His way is best. That I shall be strong in the future, and shall be willing to trust Him more, will be my constant prayer.” Following this, Mr. Napfer spoke Jot the four years of earnest labor of Dr. Wells, of her life as a Christiar woman, as a friend, as phystclan |Of the place she held in the hearts Jof the people of Nashville, and es pecially the love and esteem of her |natients.

With the exception of a few minor criticisms, the practice was satisfactory. The salutatorian and valedictorian acquitted themselves creditably.

The rendition of "Star of Peace" was not up to expectations, as the singers got off the pitch. This number was criticised by the Principal and a marked improvement is expected at the next general rehearsal. The public is invited to watch this piece, as a new singer will make her debut as a soloist in the High School. Miss Magdalene Carter will carry soprano obligato, and she will share honors with Miss Emma Cheairs, who is scheduled to sing "Carmene." The pupils of the school are about equally divided between these two favorites and the public will be given an opportunity to hear them both on commencement night. The two selections by the semi-chorus were rendered in a perfect manner, but the "encore" selection appeared more popular than the main piece and was substituted for it. This school was favored with many prominent visitors last week, who came especially to visit the Manual Training Department. Last week was the last week of actual class-room work and Prof. Smith was very anxious that the twelve colored citizens who so generously contributed toward the gas and coal ranges used in the cooking department should be present and watch the pupils at work and observe the methods used in the department. An agreeable and palatable surprise awaited the guests as they were served to cake and sherbet in the dining-room of the department. The day was very hot and the guests were very much refreshed by the sherbet. Miss E. B. Moore, the head of the Cooking Department, presided. Under her instruction the pupils have done excellent work, which reflects credit upon their teacher. Among the visitors present were Dr. S. E. Griggs, Dr. A. M. Townsend and wife, Mr. W. T. Hightower, Hon. J. C. Napier and wife, Prof. Hampton and wife, Hon. J. W. Grant, Prof. B. T. Williams, representing the Jno. F.

The tendency of the Negro to move from the rural districts to the cities has been marked in the last twenty years. There has been a steady emigration of our race from the South to the cities of the North yet the relative number of blacks to the number of whites in the Northern cities has not changed very materially as the following from the Providence (R. I.) Journal will show: Since 1880 the city of Washington, which now includes the whole of the District of Columbia, has had the distinction of containing the largest negro population of any city in the country. Residents declare to visitors that there are one hundred and fifty thousand blacks there, and that they constitute nearly one-half of the population. A police census of Washington, just completed, finds, out of a total population of 339,403, 241,920 whites and 97,483 colored. As the Mongolians and Indians there numbered less than five hundred in 1900, it may be assumed that the negroes themselves make a total of nearly 97,000, or about 28.7 per cent. of the city's inhabitants. This is by no means a large proportion for a Southern city. As it is, the blacks in Washington have diminished relatively to the whites since 1900, when they constituted 31.1 per cent. of the inhabitants. At the time of the last national census the negroes outnumbered the whites in Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville and Montgomery. In Norfolk, Augusta, Mobile, Birmingham and Memphis they constituted more than forty per cent. of the population, and more than a third in Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville and even Lexington, Ky. The number of negroes in cities of three hundred thousand inhabitants and over at the last three censuses and their percentage of the population of each in 1900 is shown by the appended table: | | 1880. | 1890. | 1900. | P. C. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Washington ..59,596 | 75,572 | 86,702 | 31.1 | | Baltimore ..53,716 | 67,104 | 79,258 | 15.6 | | New Orleans ..57,617 | 64,491 | 77,714 | 27.1 | | Philadelphia ..31,699 | 39,371 | 62,613 | 4.8 | | New York ..39,838 | 36,310 | 60,666 | 1.8 | | St. Louis ..22,256 | 26,865 | 35,516 | 6.2 | | Chicago ..6,480 | 14,271 | 30,150 | 1.8 | | Pittsburg ..6,136 | 10,357 | 20,355 | 4.5 | | Cincinnati ..8,179 | 11,655 | 14,482 | 4.4 | | Boston ..5,873 | 8,125 | 11,591 | 2.1 | | Cleveland ..2,038 | 2,989 | 5,988 | 1.6 | | Detroit ..2,821 | 3,431 | 4,111 | 1.4 | | Buffalo ..857 | 1,118 | 1,698 | 0.5 | | San Francisco ..1,628 | 1,847 | 1,654 | 0.3 | | Milwaukee ..304 | 449 | 862 | 0.3 | It will be noticed that Philadelphia has the largest proportionate number of negroes of any Northern city in the list, and that Milwaukee has the smallest per centage. In several of the smaller Northern cities, however, the blacks are relatively more numerous than in the Pennsylvania metropolis. They constitute 9.4 per cent, of Indianapolis's population, 6.5 of that of Columbus, Ohio, 12.7 of that of Evansville, Indiana, and 23.4 per cent. of that of Atlantic City. Large as New York's total of blacks is, their proportion here in Providence (2.7 per cent.) is fifty per cent. larger. In the city THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1908. of Cairo, Illinois, the Negroes form nearly 40 per cent, of the total. But Mound City, in the same State, stands at the head of all Northern cities as a negro town, over 43 per cent. of its population being of African descent; while Woonsocket, which only boasted of 6, all told, has the smallest per cent age among American cities. THE DEFEAT OF JOHNS The defeat of Sheriff C. D. Johns for renomination in the democratic primary last week will be regretted by few if any of the colored voters of this city. Not that Sheriff John's reform program did not meet the approval of the Negro voters, but because he, after denouncing the primary in a previous campaign, jumped at the first opportunity to go into it. Mr. Johns was elected sheriff by Negro votes. He carried two of the wards of the city in which there are more registered Negro voters than white. This he knew and had he exercised good political judgment by staying out of the primary and took high grounds on the race question in the matter of the alleged Negro deputy sheriff, he would have been, in all probability, re-elected to his present position. PATENT NEWSPAPERS. The Chicago Conservator in an article on Negro newspapers has the following to say: Say, fellows, some of you are frightful to look at. Of course all the time I think we are making progress, but it is meet and proper that we should say that if you don't intend to print original matter in your papers, for which your are charging the people at least $1 per year, why, by all the stars of the dipper, "it's a shame to take the money." Maybe you do not look forward to the time when it will be edifying to your community to have a good newspaper. Now, if this is the case, you had better not make the saying true that is so common. "Nothing in a Negro's paper."—that hurts us all. This comes from a newspaper less than one-half of which is composed of original matter. The purpose, though, is plain. The editor has some notions it would seem, to which the owners do not take kindly. He is tired of a bulky paper that contains more plate matter than real news and wants a change. We hope he will be able to get his desires. Secretary Taft is the most consummate compromiser before the American people. After his speech at Fisk University it is not hard for one to understand how he settled the church land troubles in "the Islands," the revolution in Cuba, and the disturbance in Panama. Mr. Taft has been opposed to the higher education as represented by such institutions as Fisk, but he has seen a light. He was not unstinting in his praise of the patriotism of the colored man nor of the Southern white man and even praised Prof. W. B. DuBois. Mr. Taft is a diplomatic speaker and though he seemed to have been at a loss as to what he should say, when making his address, he was doubtless trying not to offend the Southern men whose guest he was while in the city and yet give a sop to the belligerent voters of this a doubtful state. Mr. Taft's speech greatly impressed the schoolboys, but some how the men in the audience did not seem to enthuse over his deliverance Tuskegee, Greensboro, Lexington and Brownsville, perhaps, have warped the opinions of the men. Now that all of the contests before the National Republican Committee have been filed it appears that the nomination of the next candidate by the party will depend upon the way these contests are settled. Likewise the result of the coming election may depend upon the decisions made in these contests. Throughout the North and East where the Negro holds the balance of power the race is thoroughly united in its opposition to illy-whiteism, and if the delegates from the South who are "illy-whites" are seated the effect upon the vote in November will be very marked. "Every body talkin' bout heaven aint goln' there," sang the Jubilee Singers at Fisk when Secretary Taft had finished his address to the students last Friday. Was there any significance in singing this, of all Jubilee songs, following a speech from the most discussed candidate for the republican nomination? One by one the Southern states are getting on the prohibition water wagon. North Carolina voted for prohibition this week. Warm weather is here. Clean up and avoid an epidemic. CORRECTION. Mrs. Viola Baker Pruitt, who has been in the city for several weeks visiting her mother, wishes to state that the title of her new song in last week's Globe was incorrect. Instead of being,"All I want is a little loving and a kiss at the night time," it is "All I want is a little kissing in the night time." In addition to this, she has composed another song, entitled "Strolling down a shady lane with your turtle dove," making the eleventh piece she has composed, four of which are instrumental. MASONS AND IMMACULATES IN SULTED. It will be no surprise to thousands of secret fraternity workers in the state of Tennessee when they learn that as a just rebuke for the citizens of Pulaski, Tenn., in whose city the disgraceful lynching occurred some time ago, and, it is stated, the grand jury failed to find an indictment, that two of the strongest secret organizations in the South have practically decided that it would be unsafe, unwise and unjust to its large constituency to even expect them to attend the Grand Lodge sessions scheduled to be held in Pulaski. There has been administered a severe rebuke to the people of Giles County, State of Tennessee. "The shame of Pulaski" in allowing a lynching to take place within the bounds of its municipality will be dealt with in a way hitherto not practised by organizations and secret orders. By order of the Grand Master of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, J. A. Henry, the place of meeting of the Grand Lodge of that organization has been changed. The same is true with the Independent Order of Immaculates. The Grand Master, B. J. Merritt, of this city, has also decided that his organization can not afford to swallow this insult and carry its law-biding citizens into a city whose people will wiffully, and with apparent disregard for all law, participate in or sanction such outrages. By this move Nashville has gained these two grand annual lodge sessions. To say that the city welcomes these and will offer protection and open doors will only be saying what Nashville has always done. The following order, issued by J. A. Henry, Grand Master, and attested by W. S. Thompson, Grand Secretary of the Masons, was out out last week: To the Officers and Members of the To the Officers and Members of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge of Tennessee, A. F. and A. M.; also to the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brethren of all Lodges Working Under the Jurisdiction of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge: You are hereby notified that in harmony with the provisions of Article Four, Section Four of the Constitution of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge, I, J. A. Henry, Grand Master, do hereby change the place of meeting of the 38th Grand Communication from Pulaski, Tenn., to Nashville, Tenn. Recent events at Pulaski make it apparent that the wise course will be to rescind the purpose of meeting at that place. Having personally visited Pulaski on Sunday, May 17th, and having officially notified the brethren of St. John Lodge, No. 10, of the change, since said visit; having been convinced that the lodges and brethren of Nashville are ready and willing to make proper arrangements for our Grand Communication, I hereby announce that the 38th Grand Communication will be held at Nashville, Tennessee, with the various local lodges, chapters and commanderies, beginning June 15th, 1908, and continuing to the 19th. We invoke your considerate judgment on this very necessary act and hope that a large representation of the craft may assemble at Nashville. Witness my hand and the seal of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge, this May 18th, 1908. A. L. 5908. J. A. HENRY, Grand Master W. S. THOMPSON, Grand Secretary. Many are the sympathizers in this movement which seems to have the entire support of the best people in the state of Tennessee. This is calculated to do more good than a thousand resolutions and mass meetings. It will be remembered that the African Methodists administered a similar rebuke to a certain railroad, for they refused to send their delegation to Norfolk over the road where an employee was working who insulted a prominent young man of this city, and now the movement of these Grand Lodges from the county seat of Giles County will no doubt have its effect.

A two-course menu, which consisted of ham sandwiches, stuffed eggs, salmon salad, olives, ices and individual cakes, was served in party style which demonstrated the teachings of the Manual Training teacher. Those present were Misses Lena Jackson, Emma Terry, Carrie Bryant, Esther Pinkard, Elizabeth Moore, Cornelia Blakemore, Beulah Perkins, Velma Moseley, Bessie Garrett, Hattie Hodgkins, Beatrice Hill, Brucie Ewing, Edwina Smith and Eleanor Battle, Messrs. Ernest Alexander, John Caldwell, Wesley Franklin, Eugene Taylor, M. E. Jacklin, Theodore Garrett, Louis Manson, Leon Hurt, Edward Kinzer and Dr. Smith. LADIES' SOCIAL CLUB. The Ladies' Union Social of West Nashville had its seventh regular weekly meeting Wednesday evening May 27, at the residence of Mrs. Onie Harrington, 2905 Clifton road. After the business was over a three-course menu was served and was enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will be at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Oliver, West Hill street, Wednesday, June 3. FORAKER TO NEGRO VOTERS. Says They Have an Issue in Brownsville Affair. From the Washington Post. Senator Foraker's letter to Mr. John Milholland of New York on the subject of the prospective attitude to the negro vote of the country and explaining Senator Foraker's reasons for postponing action on the Brownsville case was very freely discussed in the Capitol to-day. The opinions expressed varied in tenor, but the general idea was that the letter may have important bearing upon the election. SENATOR FORAKER'S LETTER. Senator Foraker's letter to Mr. Milholland follows: "I have your letter of May 18 and do not know how better to answer your inquiry in regard to the postponement of the Brownsville bill than by quoting from a letter written by me a day or two ago to Mr. Richard D. White of Cambridge, Mass., in answer to a similar inquiry. "On this point I said to Mr. White: "With the President active in his opposition, personally importuning senators, I was unable to get a vote, even if I succeeded in getting the bill before the Senate, and unable to pass the bill if I did get a vote. At most, I could get assurances of only thirty-five votes, and some of these were wavering. It was necessary to have forty-seven. A vote at this time, therefore, meant defeat and the end of all hope of restoring the soldiers. "Postponement was better, because, in the first place, it could not be worse, and, in the second place, it keeps the subject alive and in a practical form for consideration during the present campaign. The whole country knows that the Brownsville subject has been narrowed down to a question of my bill, which means complete restoration; or the Warner bill, which means whatever the whim of the President may see fit to allow, and that, I am satisfied, would be very little, if anything. * * * * * CHANCE TO PLEDGE CANDIDATES. "If the bill had been voted upon and defeated at this session the colored voters of the country would not have had any means of showing their displeasure, except by voting against the party in a spirit of revenge. Now, with the bill postponed, they have at least a living issue, and they have a right to demand of republican candidates for office, including our candidates for President and Vice President, and all other candidates for re-election to the Senate and the House of Representatives, that they will pledge themselves to support the Foraker bill. In this way the 10,000,000 colored people of the United States can greatly help not only the soldiers, but the whole race, by causing themselves to be felt and appreciated as they never have been before. When they come to realize their opportunity I think they will be proud to take a direct and effective part in what should be to them a labor of love. "I am a firm believer in the intervention of Divine Providence in the affairs of man. While postponement was so me a bitter and reluctant conclusion, yet I feel that after all it was of God's ordering, and that in due time we shall all see and appreciate that what now appears to be so disappointing and discouraging is for the best." "Very truly yours, etc., "J. B. FORAKER." DECORATION DAY. Decoration Day services will be at Mt. Ararat Cemetery on Sunday, May 31.

Reports of Committees, Unfinished Business, Announcements, Benediction. Both the Alumni addresses were well prepared and well delivered. They were "check full" of the sentiment of loyalty to their Alma Mater. Too, they met a hearty response in the minds and affections of their auditors, Alumni, students and friends. At the close of which the reports of the standing committees were heard in which the present officers, G. H. Bandy, President; Mrs. Carrie V. Young, Secretary; and J. W. Johnson, Treasurer; were re-elected unanimously and the Committee on Condolence read the following report which was adopted: "No matter what our station in life—what influence we wield—how much we possess, whether rich or poor, by appointment all men must die. 'Death is the entrance to Eternal Life.' 'The stars shall fade away, the sun himself grow dim with age, and nature sink in years; but thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, unhurt amidst the war of elements, the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds." This is a glorious thought to us who are at peace with God and realize the fact that ere long our summons, too, will come to join the innumerable caravan that moves to the nale realms of shade where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. We note with sorrow that since our last regular meeting there have fallen from our ranks: Miss Martha Jane Moore, Normal 1900, Gallatin; Mrs. Mary Harris CAPITAL CITY SAVINGS BANK LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

B., '83, Nashville; and Mrs. Cora E. B. Jones, former teacher and matron, and Rev. Owen James, D. D., former President. We wonder why it is that God sees fit to take from us those whose hearts are full of loyalty and devotion to the flag of Roger Williams; but before our Creator and Preserver we bow in humble submission content to know better by and by. Our comrades were taken from our ranks when the skies of the future were bright to them, when no dark cloud of failure floated over their peaceful vision. Be it Resolved, therefore, That we comprehend more fully our duty as we realize their loss and renew our allegiance to the cause we love so well. Be it further Resolved, That we extend our grief over their loss and shall strive to emulate their example; and, that we commend the bereaved relatives and friends to Him who marks the sparrow's fall. Let us therefore look forward with hope and faith and confidence to that day when they shall greet us, welcoming us to that blest abode and shall say to us, 'Here also God is thy God.' "Respectfully submitted." "Committee—Mrs. Lillie M. DeWees, Miss Ida Grimes, A. M. Townsend, M. O., Mrs. I. H. Hampton." This report was adopted. Nothing more, the evening's entertainment ended. WEDNESDAY, MAY 20—THIRTY NINTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT. Commencement days are proverbially warm and sultry; but not so this one. The weather was perfect; the sky clear; all nature robed in her vernal creation of fluffy, waving green; the soloists of the Campus chanting their inimitable lays as the faithful wended their way to the new mecca of their affections: some pedestrians, some in every variety of four-wheeled vehicles, while others sped by them all signalling the passage of the automobile. Promptly at eleven o'clock the Chapel was filled, although the seating had been systematically done to advantage—and the gallery was rapidly filling. With the bare announcement of the program copies of which had been placed in the hands of all the numbers were rendered as follows: Spirit Immortal—University Chorus Invocation—Dean G. W. Hubbard. Meharry Medical College. Piano Duet—Miss Quinetta L. Compton and A. M. Townsend. Oration—The Progress of Man—W. S. Starks, Nashville, Tehn. Oration—Out of School Life into Life's School—Daniel Jere Tate, La Grange, Mo. Vocal Solo—(Selected) Madam Magdalene Tart. Come Smiling Spring—Misses Maxwell, Kelley, Oden, Coats, Messrs Haynes, Bennett, Bass and Burns. Announcements, Benediction. The Annual Commencement Address of Dr. E. E. Folk was plain, practical and forceful. He took for his theme, "Quit You Like Men—A Man Wanted." He said a man was not to be measured by the girth of his muscle, or the circumference of his head, but by the largeness of his heart going out in love and service for his fellow-man. He was apt of illustration. His timely use of Holland's "God give us men," etc. had an electric effect. Madam Tartt's solo following brought down the audience. President H. G. Merrill, of Fisk, was soiled in the audience and was asked forward to speak briefly. His compliment of the Alumi and friends who were responding so loyally to appeal of Roger Williams was appreciated by those who knew it to be deserving. Dean Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College, spoke briefly. A voluntary offering for building purposes taken with the following results with many, good subscriptions, also, all present were cordially invited to remain to dinner which was served on the grounds beneath the shade of scores of trees for which the Campus of Roger Williams is famous, where all ate and enjoyed themselves, and thus the Commencement of 1908 ended gloriously which all its friends and Alumni hope and labor and pray may be but a faint beginning of what is to be in the future.
