SESSIONS INFORMALLY BEGUN SUNDAY WITH SERMON—DR. W. S. ELLINGTON PREACHED TO COMMANDERIES — MONDAY OPENING DAY GRAND LODGE PROCEEDINGS—GALA TIMES AT ORPHANS' AND WIDOWS' HOME —DELEGATES ROYALLY ENTERTAINED AT GREENWOOD PARK —ALL OF OFFICERS RE-ELECTED—ORDER OF EASTERN STAR HOLDING SESSION IN MASONIC HALL — GRAND COMMANDERY ELECTS OFFICERS. On Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m., the Grand Commandery of the Masonic lodges of Tennessee assembled at St. John A. M. E. Church to listen to a sermon by Rev. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of the Theological Department of Walden University. The commanderies formed at their hall on Fourth avenue, North, and headed by the I. O. I. band, marched through Cedar street to the church. After devotional exercises Sir Williams, of Memphis, announced that owing to illness, Rev. Hammond could not be present, but that the Commanderies were fortunate to secure Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, to preach the sermon. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. B. G. Gordon, the pastor, after which Dr. Ellington preached an able sermon. His theme was, "Use what you have." The sermon was very forceful and practical. The M. W. Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M., for the state of Tennessee and jurisdiction, assembled in its thirty-eighth Grand Communication at the Odd Fellows Auditorium located on Fourth avenue, North, Monday, June 15, at 9 a. m. The M. W. Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M. was to have held its 38th Communication at Pulaski, Tenn., but because of a recent lynching there, changed. This meeting of A. F. and A. M. has brought delegates here from every vale and hill, and from every mountain and dell in the state. Having only a short time to make ready to receive and care for the delegates to this grand body, the Nashville Masons, their wives, daughters, and the citizens generally are to be congratulated for their generous, unstinted hospitality. TheGrand Lodge opened with a large delegation of representatives present. The Most Worshipful Grand Master, J. A. Henry, was present and called this Grand Lodge to order. After a short session Monday, a. m., the members of the Grand Commandery K. T., the Grand Chapter R. A. M., Grand Lodge members and officers, and members of the subordinate lodges, paraded some of the principal streets of the city. Special cars and vehicles were in waiting at Lindsley avenue and Maple street, which conveyed them to their Widow and Orphans Home on Lebanon pike, three miles from the city. Here the rest of the day was spent in inspecting this beautiful tract of forty acres, and visiting Greenwood Park across the pike. The ladies of the O. E. S. served a very palatable free lunch on the Widows and Orphans Home premises to the visiting delegates of the fraternity. The delegates were inspired and delighted with their home for widows and orphans. The seeing of this valuable piece of land, it is believed, will inspire the members of the Order to rally and pay for the same before an other year passes away. Much time was spent on Tuesday in appointing the various committees and hearing the peerless Grand Treasurer, W. H. Hightower, make his report of receipts and expenditures of the Widows and Orphans Home during the past twelve months. The local executive committee of the Widows and Orphans Home made a report which showed that a great amount of energy, time and thought had been given by this committee to the fostering of this institution. Rev. Preston Taylor, chairman and spokesman for the committee, made a strong, encouraging address before the Grand Lodge in the interest of the Home. The members of this committee are W. T. Hightower, W. S. Thompson, J. H. Adams, Mark Parker and Rev. Preston Taylor. The next important event of Tuesday was G. M., J. A. Henry's address. This scholarly yet practical address engaged the attention of the Grand Lodge for more than two hours. It showed in every thought that he was master of the situation. The address from beginning to end was listened to with intense interest and was applauded long and often. Prof. J. A. Henry's term of eight years' service makes him no less competent to fill the office of Grand Master. He is a wide-awake, thoughtful, painstaking progressive man of whom the Grand Lodge is justly proud. On Wednesday, a. m., the election of Grand Officers was held. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga, was re-elected Grand Master, he having received 313 votes, and his opponent, A. W. Williams, on Memphis, 88 votes. Wm. Porter, of Memphis, was unanimously re-elected Deputy Grand Master. W. G. Webster, of Covington, was re-elected Grand Senior Warden. W. H. Carriger, of Johnson City, was re-elected Grand Junior Warden. W. T. Hightower, of Nashville, was re-elected Grand Treasurer unanimously. W. S. Thompson, the peerless secretary of many years past, was unanimously re-elected Grand Secretary. In fact all of the elective officers were re-elected. The Grand Commandery K. T. met on Monday and Tuesday nights in Masonic Hall. W. O. Smith, of Knoxville, was elected Grand Commander for the next ensuing year. The Grand Chapter, R. A. M., met on Wednesday and Thursday nights in Masonic Hall. Election to be held Thursday night. The Grand Order Eastern Star opened its sessions on Tuesday in Masonic Hall. Election takes place Thursday, 10 a. m. The Endowment Assembly held its first session in Odd Fellows Hall on Wednesday p. m., President of Endowment Association, J. A. Henry, presiding, with Prof. J. H. Kelly at Secretary's desk. The fourth day's session opened in due form with Grand Master J. A. Henry, presiding. Roll call showed all grand officers present and in their stations. Minutes of previous day's meeting approved. The Grand Master announced that it was time for election of place of next meeting. Rev. Preston Taylor presented in (Continued on Page 7.)

LYONS PRESIDES AT ONE COMMITTEE MEETING— MANIPULATED PLANS CARRIED OUT IN THE PARTY—TAFT SEEMS A WINNER. Special to the Nashville Globe. Chicago, Ill., June 16.—The apex of the political history in this country has been reached in the assembling of the Republican National Convention in the magnificent city of Chicago, state of Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln. The Republican Convention represents the democratic form of government in this country, and in its ranks are to be found the ablest statesmen the world has ever known, and aside from this the wealth of the United States is represented in the ranks of the Republican party. It has furnished the government in all of its branches the substantial thought and progress upon which the country has been built. This organization is the outgrowth of that undying spirit of freedom manifested and put into execution by such noble men as Garrison, Lovejoy, Attuck and John Brown, which was permeated in such martyrs as Lincoln and Garfield, and which is seen reflected in the lives of the long line of able states men, scholars, soldiers and citizenship whose names appear and shine with brilliancy in its ranks. Fourteen thousand persons saw Chairman New call the convention to order at 12:20 to-day. Just preceding the call to order the 14,000 were given an opportunity to show enthusiasm for William Howard Taft. A Taft banner was carried down the aisle, and the band played "Hail the Conquering Hero Comes." The feebleness of the scanty cheers that greeted this made the incident remarkable. There was a decided fret for the man whom a majority of the scated delegates are pledged to nominate for president. The banner bore the motto, "Our Candidate," and the band struck up "Hail the Conqueror." But cheers that had been planned for did not come. There were a few feeble efforts at cheers, but the great hall was silent, save for the sickly efforts, and the big blue banner was finally lowered and carried out of the hall, amid even greater silence. The gavel wielded by Mr. New fell at 12:20, and the voice of the great gathering ceased. Silence lasted for only a moment, however. Chairman New had hardly finished when a great blue banner bearing a likeness of Secretary Taft was brought down the center aisle. It was intended as a signal for an ovation. It had all been carefully staged. In great contrast was a cheer that greeted the first mention of President Roosevelt's name, which was spoken by Chairman New in his opening speech introducing Bishop Peter Muldoon, who offered the Lord's Prayer, asking the deliberations of the convention make for the greater happiness of all the people, contributing to the peace, purity and patriotism. With this dramatic contrast and the prayer, during which the thousands stood up in reverent silence, the convention was begun. It had taken two hours for the delegates and spectators to fill the hall. The process of taking seats was remarkable for the lack of noisy enthusiasm within. There was no exuberance.

Senators, congressmen, governors, bosses, politicians of every degree filed silently to their seats and sat, 1,960 strong, including delegates and alter- nates, in solemn rows filling the center of the hall. New’s brief speech and Bishop Mul- doon’s prayer were followed by the reading of the call for the convention by Secretary John R. Malloy. Some real enthusiasm was produced then when Chairman New announced the seletion as temporary chairman of Senator Burrows, of Michigan. The Negro is to-day one of the po- tent factors as a voter in the party, keeping uppermost in his mind the fact that he is an American citizen. He has managed to sacrifice personal ambitions, race pride and petty jeal- ousy, to unite in the Republican's tri- umphant march, and in making the convention a success. Such men are on the ground in the councils of the party, coming from the South, where the Negro is entrenched in Republi- canism, both in intellect and in num- bers; from the North and East, where he holds in many states the balance of power; and from the West where he wields a felt influence in the party. Such men as Nathan H. Alexander, Montgomery, Ala.; James Peterson, Mobile, Ala.; F. W. Allen, . Mobile, Ala.; R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala.; Em- mett J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala.; Judson Lyons, Augusta, Ga.; H. A. Rucker, At- lanta, Ga.; Phil H. Brown, Hopkins- ville, Ky.; W. H. MeRidley, Cadiz, Ky.; W. E. Knox, of Indianapolis; J. B. Manning, Indianapolis, Ind.; Chas. W. Anderson, New York, Att. Perkins, New York; A. T. Vernon, Kansas; Capt. E. W. W. Gladden, Colorado; R. H. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; E. C. Mor- ris, Helena, Ark.; E, W. Adkison, Na- vasota, Texas; Hon. Adkins, of Hous- ton, Texas; Wm. McDonald, Terrell, Texas; J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; H. A. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; A. A. Cosey, Mound Bayou, Miss.; J. E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark.; two alter. nates from Missouri, the Negro dele gation from Texas and many more from the South, are here and have re ceived due consideration. While the old and courageous leaders as Lynch, Bruce, Langston, Hill, Cuney and a score of others are missed, the younger politician is evident. Some of the shrewdest changes and best manipu lated plans have been carried out ir this Republican Convention that were ever recorded in the annals of any po litical party. The country is now asking on all sides (and by the way it becomes seri ous), “What will be the attitude of th || black vote in the party?” The condi tions are changing, sentiment is mould ing, the heads of parties are acting ‘land the party itself is entrenching be hind a bulwark of an ever-increasing vote that is determined to assert itsel: in November. One of the surprises of this conven tion was sprung when Judson Lyons of Georgia, the ex-register of the Treas ury, was given the gavel to presid over the National Executive Commit tee during one of its sessions. This of course, was looked upon as a mov by the Taft men to pacify the anti-Taf men. Lyons is now looked upon as ¢ strong man in politics. The Georgi: delegation is strong for him, evel though he is at present out of th state, i! There is much to give the visitini delegates to the city a pleasant stay The various state headquarters ar open, the theatres are open, and stil there are crowds that find nothing s attractive as State and Dearbor >| streets. The most enjoyable outing 0 ,| the occasion was the Coleridge-Taylo Choral Club's rendition of “Hiawatha on June 15, before an audience o ,| more than two thousand people. The {| had soloists from the East to take th » | leading parts. ‘| (From Another Correspondent.) Chicago, Ill, June 15.—Whateve the outcome of the National Republ .|can Convention, which will probabl "|nave adjourned ere this goes to presi the fact is patent that the Negro wi have played an important part, an that he will have been instrument in exerting an influence and leavin an impression of manliness and ind pendence heretofore unthought, fo during the past week mammoth mee ings have been held in various place by the officers and members of th Taft delegates regardless of regular- ity or testimony to devise some means to have the Negroes of the country endorse Taft. A “fake” Na- tional Convention of Negroes was called on Monday, June 15, in Quinn Chapel, financed by the Taft machine, admittance to which was only to be had by a presentation of a_ printed and marked program, wnich had becn carefully distributed. Forty-five or these invitations had been issued to men who were known to be anti-Taft men. With the aid of a fine tooth comb, about two hundred office- holders, would-be offie>-holders, their wives, sons and daughters were found who were willing to attend the meet- ing. This meeting was attempted with the hope that it world be sent over the country as an endorsement of Mr. Taft by Negroes assembled at ‘a National Convention. All this without avail, however, for the herculean campaign by Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, Will‘am Monroe Trotter, W. A. Sinclair, Gilerist Stew- ard, Granville Martin, Dr B. L. Gil- liam, Gurley Brewer, W. H. Scott, W. 'T. Ferguson, Capt. Walter H. Thom- as, Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and other well-known manly and independent Negroes identified with the National Negro American Political League has set in motion a wave of sentiment over the country at large that demon- strates beyond doubt of contradic- tion or uncertainty, the fact that the Negroes are prepared to strike one blow in defense of themselves and their rights. More significant than anything yet attempted, more far-reaching than the opinion of any one man, no matter how exalted his station in the public eye, is the fact that more than 2,000 Negroes, representatives from more than 20 states in the Union where Ne groes vote, unanimously adopted in a large mass meeting at Bethel A M. E. Church, Friday wight, strong resolutions which declared defiantly boldly and manfully the determina tion of the Negro to strike one blow at “Lily Whiteism,” to place before the leaders of the repubiican party the real attitude of 600 Negroes whe are not to be belled off by the prom ise of Federal jobs, and who woul¢ no longer be dependent upon to place the republican party in power on : platform of broken promises to a de pressed people. Not with the spirit of serfs, bu that of freemen; not with the trucu lent spirit of office-seekers, but tha of independent business men an bread-winners; not tottering and sup pliant like weaklings, but secure it the strength of mature manhood, 2, 000 people, men and women, shoute |themselves hoarse as with a risin} vote they adopted the strong resoiu tions, declaring their unalterable oppe sition either to Roosevelt or Taft fo president and warning the Republi can Convention that they nominat either at their own peril and that ne! ‘|ther could be elected over the oppo sition of Negroes. |. Whatever the outcome; I repeat, 1 has been demonstrated that Negroe ‘|can get together and if the battle fai : who can tell but that this spirit is th : forerunner of greater and bette |things in store, for a “house divide against itself.” TAFT NOMINATED ON FIRST BALLOT. ‘Special to Nashville Globe.

On Sunday, June 14, the historic city of Nashville, abounding as it does in churches of every denomination, threw open the doors of more than one hundred churches to observe fittingly that national, religious holiday, celebrated throughout the confines of the International Committee's study of the Sunday School Lessons, universally known as Childrens Day. Every Protestant Church in Nashville, regardless of denomination, observed in some form this day of all days. Some had special programs, which were rendered at some time during the day or evening; others, special services, but in each of them Children's Day was the aim, the object, the occasion. The lesson selected as the one most fitting for Children's Day observance was "Jesus Enter Jerusalem in Triumph," Matthew 21:7-16. While the optional lesson was "The Risen Christ by the Sea of Galilee," John21:1-25. The Sunday-schools were allowed to use which ever lesson they could more forcibly impress the occasion upon the minds of the schools. In the African Methodist churches, there were Payne Chapel, St. Uaul, St. John, Bethel, Salem, St. James, Ebenezer, Trinity, St. Luke, and John Brown Mission. In the C. M. E. there were Jackson Temple and Lane Tabernacle; the M. E., Clark Memorial, Braden Chapel; with the Congregationalists, there were Howard and Union, where the baccalaureate sermon was substituted for Children's Day; the Zion Methodists, the United Colored Methodists were not left out in this celebration. Among the Baptists the following churches observed the day: Mt. Zion, Pilgrim, First Baptist, Spruce Street, Stonewall, Pleasant Green, Second Baptist, Rock City, St. Luke, McNairy Hill, Mt. Bethel, St. Eli, Third Avenue, Hawkins Street, Mt. Calvary, Zion, Tabernacle, First Baptist (East Nashville), First Street, Sixth Street, West Nashville, West Cedar Street, Kayne Avenue, Sylvan Street, Mt. Nebo, Fifth Avenue, Mt. Gilead, Fairfield, Free Silver Plant Mission and Mt. Olive. It was at the last named church where possibly the most elaborate program and the largest crowd at any of the Baptist churches assembled. The principal speaker for the day was Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, who spoke from the inspiration he received from the double quartette singing "Princes, Awake!" Prof. Crenshaw again demonstrated his ability to take care of his hearers. The following program was rendered: Invocation—Mr. John Ridley. Chorus by school. Scripture Reading, Mr. Burt Stanley. Chorus by school. Review of the Lesson—Prof. L. S. Gray. Solo—Mr. J. Blaine Boyd. Reading of Secretary's Letter—Dea con Jas. Martin. Double Quartette—Mrs. Chas. H. Thorne, Misses Nellie E. King, Georgia L. Hadley, Mamie Brooks, Messrs. L. S. Gray, J. B. Boyd, R. L. King and H. A. Boyd. Next to the special address by Prof. Crenshaw, the double quartette was the most enjoyable feature of the exercises. The collections at all the Baptist Sunday-schools were forwarded to the Baptist Publishing Board for work. work --- BAPTIST EXECUTIVE BOARD. Chicago, Ill., June 17.—The Executive Committee of the National Baptist Convention, comprising the vice presidents from every state in the Union, the president proper of the Convention, the secretary, treasurer, auditor, the secretaries, assistant-sectaries and chairmen of the seven boards operating under the Convention, are here taking advantage of the rate offered to the political convention, to arrange the program for the twenty-eighth annual session of that great religious host, which is to be held in Lexington, Ky., September 16-24. Tennessee is represented in this committee by Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board of Nashville, and Henry A. Boyd, Assistant Secretary. Alabama has Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., Recording Secretary, and Rev. A. J. Stokes, of Montgomery, the Treasurer. Kentucky has Rev. Robert Mitchell, the Auditor. Arkansas, Rev. E. C. Morris, of Helena, the President, and Rev. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Chairman of the Home Mission Board; and in this way every state is represented by delegate or proxy. The deliberations will be concluded Friday morning, the 19th. The sessions of this committee are being held in the Olivet Baptist Church, corner Dearborn and Twenty-seventh streets. Rev. E. J. Fisher, the pastor, is also a member of the Baptist Publishing Board from the state of Illinois. Not much of their proceedings will be given out until the program is officially announced, hence it is impossible to know the exact plans outlined at this meeting, other than that the best speakers to be had will be used on the program, and since the Convention will be held in the spacious Chautauqua Hall at Lexington, an eloquent address is being planned to take place on Saturday night. At several meetings of the Baptists Dr. Booker T. Washington has addressed them, and some have said during this meeting he will be invited to speak. BEAUTIFUL ENTERTAINMENT BEAUTIFUL ENTERTAINMENT. One of the most beautiful and unique entertainments of the season was at the home of Miss Lena Mae Gleaves, 1315 Jackson street, on Thursday evening, June 11. The arrangements were a picture of beauty from the parlor to the dining-room. The table was very prettily decorated in color-scheme of pink and white, with a beautiful fern in the center. At each plate was placed a card with the gentleman's name, and a heart-shaped souvenir box filled with dainty candies. After playing several games of whist, etc., at the hour of 10:30 the guests were invited into the dining-room, where several courses were served, which included all the delicacies of the season. STORM PARTY. The pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rev. H. M. Burns, was "stormed" last Thursday night by some of the members of his church. Those taking a part in the party were Mesdames Lizzie Red, Bell Spencer, Sallie Robertson, Jane Habb, Mary Sharpe, Minnie Moore, Belle Demoss, Annie Mopings, Mary Holland, R. Connell, Hughes, Jones, McRoberts, McMary, Lizzie Kane, Mary Thompson, Messrs. Hooper, G. Sharp, Louis Holt, G. Rhodes. MEETINGS AT JACKSON TEMPLE. The regular weekly meetings of the Woman's Board of Missions, Stewardess Board and Mothrs' Meeting of Jackson Temple will be continued during the summer. Monday, June 22, the subject of "How to Entertain Children During the Vacation," will be discussed. All are invited to come and join in the discussion. Refreshments will be served by the ladies. PRINCIPAL OF CHATTANOOGA SCHOOLS. Prof. W. H. Singleton, Principal of the Montgomery Avenue School, the largest colored school in Chattanooga, is in the city this week. Prof. Singleton, who is an uncle of Dr. A. M. Townsend, attended school in this city before going to Chattanooga and has a number of friends among the older residents here.

THE STEAM ROLLER We have fought for decency, justice and the square deal in politics in the Sixth Congressional Convention but the National Republican Executive Committee has seen fit to throw aside all elements of justice and seat the delegates of the alleged sixth district convention simply because they were for Taft. With us the fight is not ended. We believe that right must prevail and though a committee with only one object in view has endorsed the high-handed and illegal actions pursued in this state, the final triumph of the masses over the federal office-holder bosses is only delayed. The Globe believes that its fight was founded upon justice. The Globe knows that every charge it made as to the irregularity of the committee-selected convention and the use of federal office-holders to control that convention, was proved before the National Committee and of a consequence is in a position to know that the National Committee stultified itself to seat delegates pledged to support the steam roller. The "I won't hear you one minute" lily-whites and the few Negroes looking for federal pie alligned with them may take great pleasure from the outcome of the contests. As for us we told the truth and have no apologies to make for so doing. We shall yet see the day in Davidson County when no one or two men holding federal offices can name a whole county convention and dictate every action of a congressional district. That day is coming! Mark our prediction. THE PASSING OF BLIND TOM. The press dispatch announcing the death in Hoboken, N. J., of "Thomas Wiggins," known almost all over the world as "Blind Tom," the musician, brought sad news to many of the middle-aged and older persons who had heard the music of this remarkable man. But what will surprise most of those who knew of him is the statement that he was during the last years of his life an object of charity. Thomas Bethune, the name he was known by while making his concert tours, was born blind, near Columbus, Ga., in or about 1850. His faculty for memorizing was highly developed even in his childhood days and it is related that as a boy he slipped into the parlor after he had heard his young mistress play a selection on the piano and repeated the preforance without missing a note. It was thus that his abilities were discovered. After the Civil War, Mr. Bethune was placed under the management of a white man who exhibited him throughout this country. A fortune was made out of these concerts and the last time "Blind Tom" visited these sections he was reputed to be worth upward of $200,000. But it would seem from the press reports, someone other than the blind musician got the money. Other blind musicians have appeared before the public and many of them probably know more of technique and such things, but we doubt if any blind musician will make as great an impression upon the American public as did poor, blind Thomas Bethune. THE SPOT-LIGHTER. Who is it that is not acquainted with the "spot-lighter?" Who if not acquainted with that personage would not recognize him at a glance? He is found in every clime, every race and every vocation of life. We have referred to the "spot-lighter" as belonging to the male sex, but the "spot-lighter" is found among both sexes. The "spot-lighter" is particularly active on public occasions like some function of a secret society. Here one class of him can be found in all of his glory. He is always dressed in the proper regalia and takes every opportunity to exhibit himself to the admiring spectators. If possible, he will secure a seat where everyone can see him, but if unsuccessful in this he will display his magnificent physique by marching up or down the aisle delivering instructions to the mere mortals who are satisfied to be classed only as members. This secret society nabob is only one of a large class of "spot-lighters," but in him are illustrated the dominant characteristics of all "spot-lighters." Each and every one of him wants to appear important and most of the time he is important—in his own mind. Frequently he is ignorant, but more often he is partially educated and in some cases has ornaments attached to his name in the shape of college degrees. The "spot-lighter" is seldom disgusting; more often he is simply humorous without being aware of it. His vanity, his lack of that something which is known as refinement often causes him to do things which excite the risibles of all evenly balanced persons and makes his name a standing jest in the community. The "spot-lighter" has been in the world since the creation of man and will doubtless remain until the millenium. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois spoke at Fisk University Monday night and as an alumnus exercised his prerogative to criticise, by objecting to the new department of applied sciences. The discussion following Prof. DuBois' criticism, of course, will be confined almost to those who claim Fisk as their Alma Mater. Yet we can but wonder how an Alumni Association address could keep the brilliant Prof. DuBois, as the head of the Niagara Movement, away from Chicago where he could have turned his critic guns against the administration? It is a pity that the leaders of a Christian movement can be led into adopting the same methods, the same tactics, as were used in the first Hoke Smith campaign in Georgia. That dirty campaign aided by yellow journalism brought about the Atlanta massacre. Will the efforts of politicians to elect a certain man by bringing in the mob issue have the same results in Tennessee? The subject is a dangerous one and should not be agitated especially by those who claim to be the followers of Christ. The Negroes attending the Chicago Convention are spreading it from Dan to Beersheba that they do not want Taft. How many of these orators will have the courage to express the same convictions after the Chicago convention? The brutal assault upon a woman by one of the city policemen should be investigated and the man discharged at his thune ment of him fortune and the these worth seem other money. peared them e and blind from the police force. A man that is so inhuman as to strike a woman with a club is not fit to enforce the laws of a city like Nashville. The "steam roller" has mashed down all of the delegates from the southern states who were opposed to Taft, but will the machine give like results with the voters in the doubtful states in November? Newspapers that seek to stir the hatred of the whites against the Negro race for political effect should not receive the patronage of a single Negro. Gov.

That is the question that is worrying the G. O. P. leaders. COMMUNICATION. Misrepresentation. To the Nashville Globe: A daily paper in this city, The Nashville Tennessee dropped to a pretty pass in its issue of Tuesday, June 16, in its attempt to make sentiment in its fight against Gov. Patterson. On the front page of that issue are the pictures of two men, one white and the other colored. Accompanying these pictures, in black-faced type, is one of the most inflammatory harangues that ever appeared in a paper; it would be a disgrace to the worst yellow journal in all Christendom. The Tennessee is a dangerous paper and a vicious menace to the peace of this community. It is doing its best to "uproar the general peace and pour the milk of concord into hell." It is trying its level best to inflame the minds of that class of men whose passion for blood is easily ignited by such reckless and inflammatory articles as it is feeding the public upon in its columns. If the better elements of the community do not frown down this attempt on the part of The Tennessee to stir up racial strife, then the blood of innocent people must glut fat its ravenous maw of vengeance to beat Gov. Patterson. The paper that will resort to such heinous methods to defeat a man who has made an excellent governor, is unfit to exist in any civilized community. The Tennessee's pitiable weakness and desperation to meet the arguments of its opponents are evinced by its methods of harking back to some far-fetched crime committed in some distant state and for which the accused and convicted culprit paid with his life to the satisfaction of the law, and that, too, speedily. The machinery of the law in every conceivable sense, real and implied, is in the hands of the white man, yet the actions of The Tennessean show that it is impatient of the orderly workings of the law, which is all-powerful and all-sufficient, in dealing with criminals. It, with unaccountable deviltry and mercilessness, seems bent on converting an otherwise peaceable citizenry into demons, such as characterized the mobs of Atlanta a few months ago, to slaughter and massacre an innocent people—a people who have the best interest of the community at heart, a people who are peaceable and law-a-biding, a people who are wholly defenseless, a people who depend for protection solely upon the sense of chivalry and courage, the sense of fairness and justice which they hope have not become dormant in the breast of the better element of the South. Now that this rabid sheet, The Tennesseean, which is disseminating broadcast every morning its hideous mental dynamite, the colored people must begin in time and ask protection of the better element of the white ere the slaughter comes which The Nashville Tennesseean seems bent on precipitating. The sheet, known as 'The Tennessean, argues, though miserably weak and mediocre is its argument, that prohibition will help only the colored people. Who on earth, in heaven or in the other place, would believe that, in the teeth of its inflammatory articles, it is making its fight for prohibition to keep the bottle from his neighbor's mouth—the colored man's Such argument on its part is perfectly transparent. The white people are fighting the liquor traffic to save their own boys, and they always find a steady and loyal ally in the colored people (the word people is used, because the criminal class is only the small fraction of the colored people as it is the white race). The bad liquor about which The Tennessean discourses in such a maudlin way is making as desperate a class of criminals in the white race as it is making in any other. This is patient upon the face of things, that is, it is clearly shown by the relentless war being waged against "Old King Alcohol." The fight being carried on between Gov. Patterson and ex-Senator Carmack is no fight of the colored man, for the reason both are subject to the democratic primary. This being true, why does The (little) Tennessean drag the colored people into the fight with their hands tied? One thing is obvious, and that is this: The Tennessean is weak and is trying to ride into notoriety on the back of the colored man as many other unknowns have done. It should make a stand-up-and-take fight upon the merits or the real issues before the people. A BRILLIANT WRITER. A BRILLIANT WRITER. That the largest and most widely circulated religious journal in the United States, published by Negroes, and mailed out from Nashville each week, is jest beginning to be known by the Nashville people. This paper is known as The National Baptist Union. It is a sixteen-page weekly, and is the official organ of two million, three hundred thousand Negro Baptists, the largest body of Protestant religious workers in the world. Although this paper is not generally read in the city of Nashville, not more than one-half of the Baptist preachers, it is learned, read it weekly. Outside of Nashville it has a tremendous circulation, and all on account of its official connection, the reliable news-matter and its high-class editorials. The editor of this paper, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., is rated among the best. Sometimes he is forced, and especially of late, to be absent from his desks attending conventions, and is not able to get in his regular editorial contributions. In such cases some one is always delegated from the Baptist Publishing House to fill his place. It was during last month when Dr. Isaac was absent, that a literary light was assigned to the editorial work on the Union. It was none other than Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, of this city, who has furnished the paper with such able editorial matter that it has attracted comment from such a high class journal as The Literary Digest. More than one of Prof. Crenshaw's editorjals have been commented upon. The last from the Literary Digest was as follows: "A NEGRO PAPER'S PROTEST. "The ninety-and-nine righteous persons over whom there is less joy in heaven than over the one repentant sinner, or the unerrant elder son for whom no fatted calf was killed, might be imagined reading with sympathy and understanding the protest recently voiced by The National Baptist Union, an Afro-American paper of Nashville, Tenn., against a recent writer's high praise of the Indian because he has turned out to be a good day-laborer. There is a tendency, says the Negro writer, to forget completely the American Indian's past activities with scalping-knife and tomahawk, and to extol him for the fact that he is at last submitting to discipline and routine, and proving his economic value in the fields and with the road gangs. But while the Indian thus basks in the public's approval, not a line is penned, complains The Union, in praise of the toiling and patriotic Negro who has contributed his share of labor toward the development of the country from the beginning. The immediate occasion of this protest is an article by Mr. Forbes-Lindsay in The Craftsman, from which excerpts were printed in The Literary Digest of May 9, under the heading 'The Indian Sharing the White Man's Burden.' "Over against Mr. Forbes-Lindsay's account of the unexpected industrial virtues which have developed in the latter-day Indian the Negro paper sets a feelingly drawn picture of the Indian of an earlier day, whose relations with the white man were more spectacular, if less profitable. We transfer this picture to our pages, with the moral attached: "His wild and barbaric glee was never more intense than when he had murdered the frontiersman and every member of his family. This he continued to do until his race was nearly annihilated and his happy hunting-grounds, which he refused to till, were appropriated by the white man, who, despite the fact that Indian Territory was given to him and his heirs and assigns forever, gobbled it up, too. "And now that the once bepainted and befeathered braves, the wild and merciless Arabs of the Western plains and mountain fastnesses, have been practically destroyed and utterly disinherited, there are those who are ready to say that the remnants of those former tribes are wonders in the way of absorbing the white man's civilization. These same writers of panegyric on the docility and tractableness of the few remaining Ishmaels of the many thousands that infested, overran, and terrorized the western part of the country a few decades ago, would not say one word, nor pen one line, in praise of the peaceable, patient, toiling and patriotic Negro who has contributed to the development and welfare of the country beyond the power of estimation, and who has ever been true to its best interests and traditions. "What the Indian has done has been to murder, pillage and burn. What the negro has done has been to help conquer this wild marauder of the plain and make possible the safety of the westward tread of American civil- MISS ELSIE V. BASS MISS ELSIE V.

He is authorized to collect for subscriptions and advertisements. The Globe Publishing Company announced a few months ago that it would not have an agent to collect subscriptions and would have their patrons remit by mail or call at the office and make settlements, but that system did not meet with popular favor. It required some time to find a man who could do the work satisfactorily, but we believe we have found him in the person of Mr. Williams, whose likeness appears above. You will find him obliging and polite. He may call on you to tomorrow. Be prepared to settle your account. Years respectfully, THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, D. A. Hart, Manager.

CRACK OF SKULL ECHOES FOR BLOCKS----BLOOD FLOWS. ORA HUMPHREY THE VICTIM OF MERCILESS CLUBBING AT THE HANDS OF PATROLMAN McGOVERN—NO PROVOCATION FOR BRUTAL TREATMENT—POLICE MAN IN HABIT OF PROWLING THROUGH THE HOUSES OF PEOPLE WITHOUT AUTHORITY OTHER OFFICERS. Last Tuesday evening between six and seven o'clock the people in the vicinity of the old penitentiary ground were awe stricken at one of the most horrifying scenes ever witnessed. Patrolman R. McGovern was seen jerking, shoving and slapping a little girl who would be classed as a consumptive by any one at first sight. He carried the girl to Cedar street and stopped near M. J. Murphy's grocery. He then proceeded to bump the girl's head against the wall. Not being satisfied with this he slapped her face again. The girl, though feeble and weak from the violent jerks she had been subjected to, dared to strike back. Her blows did not appear as heavy as a five-year old child could deliver, but all the brute passion that it is possible for any savage to possess seemed to take possession of the officer, and in another instance all of the cowardness that man can be affected with seemed to come over McGovern. He called to M. J. Murphy to come to his aid. Murphy responded promptly. He stepped up and took hold of one of poor Ora's hands while the patrolman held the other; then McGovern seemed to say to himself "She can't harm me now." He thereupon brought his club into play, and with all the strength he could command struck the poor helpless girl a telling blow on the head. The little creature was seen to reel and cringe in agony. Not being satisfied at the seriousness of his crime, the man delivered another blow. He seemed to be determined to beat the girl to death. A great gash was laid open that bared the skull and the blood was gushing out as water from a spout. The licks from the patrolman's club were heard for several paces around and in a short while a large crowd had gathered. The people were not stinted in their condemnation of the actions of the officers. Two priests witnessed the scene and declared that they had never witnessed anything so brutal. The girl was carried to the station house and a charge of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer was registered against her. She did not remain in prison long however as friends to humanity were soon on the scene and made bail for the unfort Stewart's office where her wounds tunate girl. She was taken to Dr. Stew were dressed. It was necessary to take several stitches in the gashes. Miss Humphrey was seen by a Globe representative on Wednesday at her home 1600 Patterson street. She was very weak and nervous. To a question as to the origin of the trouble she made the following statement: "I was sitting on the porch with my brother and he was joking me. I said to him, If you don't let me alone I will call 'Ruck' to you. In a few minutes he (Patrolman McGovern) came rushing in and asked me if I called him. I told him I did. He said he heard one call his name. I told him I was only playing with my brother. He said to me, 'D—n you, I don't allow nobody to play with my name; you come on here; I am going to take you down.' He then grabbed hold of me and jerked me. I asked him not to jerk me I was sick. He said he did not give a d—n about me. I asked him to let me get my hat and he said he wasn't going to let me get a d—n thing, and slapped me. I told him not to slap me I was sick; he said he did not give a d—n, and jerked me out in the street and carried me on down to the corner of Mr. Murphy's. When we got down there he slapped me again and began bumping my head against the wall, and then I hit him. Then he called Mr. Murphy to come and help him. Mr. Murphy came and took me by one hand and he held the other and then commenced hitting me with his club." She further stated that she was a laudedess, but had not been able to do any work for nearly three months and had been staying at home keeping house for her brother. Several of the people living in the community testified to the truthfulness of the Factory Cost Sale-Hirshberg Bros ON THE CORNER 5th AVENUE AND CHURCH STREET Our Mr. Chas.

It was stated that he had a habit of going into the people's houses and joking with them. Miss Lizzie Harlan, of 1311 Broadway, related a case very similar to that stared above. She said that on last Saturday night she and her husband were arrested on the pretext that the neighbors had complained, but that Judge Baker dismissed the case for lack of proof. Patrolman McGovern is the same officer who shot a man in the back. PICNIC BY H. T. G. M. CLUB. The picnic given by the H. T. G. M. Club on the lawn of the residence of Dr. Josie R. Wells, Friday evening, June 12. was pronounced by all a decided success. It was simply in keeping with the pleasant mode of entertainment so characteristic of these young ladies. Long before the guests arrived the grounds had been beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns. every tree was swung with three to four lanterns and under each were "seats for two." There is no doubt in the minds of all who were present that these retreats were highly appreciated. One special feature was a very attractive booth near the centre of the lawn, under a very large tree, profusely decorated with lanterns, garlands of daisies and artificial cherry blossoms. Each guest picked from the tree one of these blossoms in the centre of which was found his fortune. From a table under this Tree of Fortune Miss Esther J. Pinkard attired in full Japanese lady's toilet, dispensed refreshing lemonade. She was assisted by other members of the club. The games of Wolf and Snip were played; perhaps the most amusing game of the evening was when all the gentlemen present were lined up to engage in a cracker contest. Each gentleman was given a cracker which he was to eat and then whistle a complete tune. The prize, a Mephisto Head Pipe, was won by Mr. William Boger, he having finished before any of the others. Later in the evening sandwiches and ice were served. There were about one hundred guests present. MARECHAL NIEL CLUB. The Marechal Niel Art Club was entertained Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Clark. After business was over a three-course menu was served. The guests of the club were Mrs. Mary Holman and Mrs. A. M. Townsend. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs Hardy McCullough. SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING. The weekly Sunday-school meetings are being held every Wednesday evening at St. John A. M. E. Church. These meetings are growing in interest among the people, and the superintendent, Mr. D. A.

Special Bible lessons will be discussed at each meeting.
