THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. ADMINISTRATION AND TAFT TAKEN TO TASK. BRILLIANT SENATOR DEFENDS HIS RECORDS—OPENS UP THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR, POURING HOT SHOT INTO ROOSEVELT—DOES NOT WANT TO HURT PARTY, BUT WILL PROTECT HIS GOOD NAME. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who has been the subject of attack by William R. Hearst and President Roosevelt, has given out a statement defending his course in the Standard Oil charges. Senator Foraker's statement, which had been eagerly awaited, created a tremendous stir throughout the State, and it was claimed by his friends that it would bring back to him many of his supporters who had wavered in their loyalty in face of the repeated attacks of the past week. Senator Foraker's statement, in part, follows: "The President commences his statement connected with the publication of Judge Taft's letter with a bitter arraignment of me because of Mr. Hearst's charges, which he appears to have accepted as fully proved as soon as made. He does not wait for proof or explanation, nor accept the same when offered. "Mr. Hearst's charges are not simply that I was in the employment of the Standard Oil Company and that I was paid for my services, but that I was secretly in that employment for illegitimate purposes, and that the money I received was paid as compensation for improperly influencing legislation by Congress in conflict with and in violation of my official duties. "He read a number of letters and made certain comments calculated, if unanswered or unexplained, to create the belief that his charges were true. "That I was employed by the company was never concealed or denied. On the contrary, such employment was well known at the time to all concerned. Only a few days ago ex-Attorney-General Monnett, who was prosecuting the proceedings against the Standard Oil Company at the time, stated, in a public interview, that I told him at the time that I had been retained by the company. "If employed and rendering services, presumably I was compensated. "In announcing, therefore, the mere fact that I was employed by the company and showing that I received payments on that account, no information was imparted by Mr. Hearst and no offense was established, for it remained that such employment and payment might be entirely proper and legitimate. "Under all the circumstances an explanation was required, and in former statements I made such explanation, by showing that my employment was confined to the affairs of the company in Ohio and its reorganization after the trust was dissolved by order of our Supreme Court, and that my employment had no relation in the slightest degree to anything in which the Federal Government was then interested, or with respect to which the Congress was then legislating, or at that time proposing to legislate, and that the employment was ended long before the company was made the subject of any special attention in Congress, and longer still before it was attacked in the Federal courts or proceeded against in any way by the Federal Government; and, further, that the employment was not to defend the company against charges of violation of the laws of Ohio or the United States, or the orders of any of the Courts, but only to assist in so executing the orders of the Courts and so reorganizing as to conform to all laws, state and national, and to fully comply with all the orders of the Courts that had been made against it. "If my statements in this behalf are true they make a complete defense against Mr. Hearst's charges and all deductions therefrom of improper conduct, unless the ethics involved have been radically changed from what NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908 they have always heretofore been supposed to be. "From the beginning of our Government Senators and Congressmen who were lawyers have been regarded as free to continue the practice of their profession, if they so desired, during their terms of office, in so far as they might be able to do so without interfering with their public duties; and in such practice free to take any kind of employment that was offered which did not in any way conflict with their duties as members of Congress. Nobody has ever before been criticised on such account. The only question has been as to the character of business a Senator or member of Congress was at liberty to take, and uniformly and universally it has been considered that there was no prohibition of any class of business, outside those named in the statutes and such business as might conflict with public duties. "When I accepted the employment of the Standard Oil Company in 1899 it was not foreseen by me, and probably not by anybody else, that it would become the object of Federal prosecution or action of any kind, and that employment ended when the company decided to reorganize under the laws of New Jersey, which was before anything of that nature occurred. "That I was not in the employment of the company after the services I have mentioned were rendered, and that such employment did not afterward influence me to favor the company in legislation, is shown by the part I took in the enactment of the Elkins law, approved February 19, 1903. Under this statute the Attorney-General has brought and caused to be brought all the prosecutions against the Standard Oil Company of which we have read so much, including the case in which Judge Landis imposed the fine of $29,240,000. "I was one of the subcommittee of three—Senators Elkins and Clapp being the other two members—who considered that bill in the Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate and after making such amendments as in our judgement made it more effective, reported it favorably to the committee, and then to the Senate, where it was passed. Under this Elkins law, for the first time in interstate commerce legislation, the shippers were made as violators of law and subjected to heavy penalties for accepting or soliciting rebates or discriminations. "Until that time only the carriers were liable for such offences. The bill was especially aimed at large corporations, because they were supposed, by reason of their large shipments, to be able to command and enforce rebates and discriminations, which could not be secured by their weaker competitors. That statute has been put to the severest tests and they have shown that it is worth more in regulation of interstate commerce than all the other statues that have been enacted. It makes effective all provisions of law against rebates and discriminations, and nobody has suffered more under it than the Standard Oil Company, against which indictments have been found by scores, containing counts and charges amounting to thousands in numbers. "Much more might be said as to the character of this statue, but it is unnecessary for the present purposes. "I refer to it and speak of its general character only to show that this legislation, which I helped to frame and to enact, aimed directly at the Standard Oil Company and the other great corporations, is, or ought to be, convincing evidence that I was not employed by the company at that time, and that I was not influenced in the discharge of my public duties by reason of the employment that had ended long before. "But if that fact is not sufficient the following correspondence is not only additional proof, but conclusive in its character, to the same effect: '26 Broadway, New York, May 7, 1906. "My Dear Senator: In the possibility of an action being brought against us in Ohio, are you in position to accept a retainer from us in connection with such a matter?" "Your early response will oblige. Yours very truly. John D. Archbold. "To Hon. J. B. Foraker, 1500 Sixteenth street, N. W., Washington, D. C. "To which I answered as follows: "Washington, D. C., May 9, 1906. "John D. Archbold, Esq., No. 26 Broadway, New York—My Dear Sir: "My duties in the Senate have so multiplied that I found it necessary to retire entirely from the practice of law. I have not taken any new employment for more than two years past. "On this account, as well as because of my relations to the public service, I cannot accept a retainer in the contingency named, as I would be (Continued on Page 2.) Fisk and Roger Williams In Operation. INDICATIONS POINT TO SUGGESFUL SESSIONS. LARGE ENROLLMENT AT BOTH SCHOOLS — MANY PROMINENT CITIZENS ATTEND OPENINGS— STUDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC— CLUBS AND SOCIETIES ORGANIZED AMONG PUPILS — INTEREST IN ROGER WILLIAMS. As predicted and advertised, this week witnessed the opening of two of Nashville's oldest educational institutions. On Tuesday morning, September 29, Roger Williams University, famous and historical, a school known far and wide, one that has passed through critical stages during its existence, opened it doors for the fortieth annual session. The opening was characteristic in that it begins its first full session under new management. The entire faculty was present with the exception of Prof. Arthur M. Jackson, of Chicago. Distinguished visitors from the city took advantage of the occasion of the new beginning of a school so well established as a national educational institution. "The enrollment and the present outlook for a successful session of the school," said President J. W. Johnson to a Globe representative, "is very encouraging. Students are coming in daily and more are expected." Among the city people who were present at the opening were Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Townsend, Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Townsend, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Rev. and Mrs. Wm. Hawnes, Dr. W. S. Ellington, Rev. E. M. Hawnes, Dr. E. W. D. Isaac and in fact, a large number of Nashville's representative citizens. It was noticeable that real interest was centered in the bright prospects that the school is enjoying. The work on the new building is progressing. This of itself means much to the school. The students are not at all behind in point of enthusiasm. The university spirit even down to athletics is apparent. The organization of the different clubs, societies and the like has already begun. The enrollment of the students is not confined to any section of the state. They are expected here from far and near. Students have enrolled who attended the school before the fire. Students who had but one year before graduating from the college course under the old regime will take up their studies and finish this year. Others will be coming later on. All the Baptists are evidencing real interest in this university. On Wednesday morning at 8:45 o'clock the great nine organ in the Memorial Channel of Fisk University sounded the opening or that institution for its forty-third session. The crowd of students representing nearly every state in the Union made this occasion one to be remembered. The absence or the vacancy in the presidential chair which would be clearly felt did not damn the ardor of the student body or the fervor of the hosts of visitors who had gathered to witness the exercises. More students applied for admission than there was room to accommodate. But the committee of management, consisting of Profs. Wright, Waterman and Scribner, who are acting in the absence of a president, who had so arranged every detail of the matter that care was taken of all that applied. The three great buildings, Jubilee Hall, Livingstone hill and Stanley Hall, are all crowded. As usual the citizens played their part and expressed their hearty welcome upon the return of so large and intelligent student body. Dr. Roman. Mr. J. C. Napier and Rev. Mr. Imes were the speakers. The university and all of its surroundings have taken on the real school appearance. There seems to be the usual amount of activity in every department. It is learned that each day since the opening students have arrived, while not all that have engaged rooms are here. It will not be ten days before every engaged room will be filled. Prof. H. H. Wright. Dean of the university, declares that this will be a banner year and that with the completion of the Carnegie Library, Fisk will be easily at the head of the class of Southern universities. The faculty with but one exception will remain as it was last year. MURFREESBORO NOTES. Mrs. Mattie Jordan spent a week at Wartrace with her daughter and returned home Monday.

Vernon Baptist Church, will leave soon for Nashville to begin a theological course at Roger Williams University No.39 SOME NEARBY CITIZENS AL- LEGED TO CONNIVE AT IM- MORAL PRACTICES — GOOD NAME OF NEIGHBORHOOD BE- SMEARED—MOTHERS CANNOT REAR THEIR CHILDREN IN THE FACE OF SUCH EVILS. There is growing in some neighborhoods of the city of Nashville a feeling of unrest that tends toward desperation, and a more serious condition of affairs has never confronted the city; the very foundation of its government is trembling and the excitement is more than it is possible to imagine. The people have been discussing the situation, but have refrained from action in hope that the evils would be looked after by city authorities. But no steps have so far been taken to remedy the condition, and the heads of families, mothers and fathers of the children that must be reared in the infected communities, are becoming greatly aroused. It was stated at the outset that the foundation of the city's government is threatened, and when it is known that the nature of the case is one that the South frowns on with the greatest severity it will be easy to see what confronts the citizens of Nashville, and the allegation is none less than that certain Negro women entertain men of the Anglo-Saxon race, after sundown too frequently for the welfare of the community. One case that is creating a great sensation right at this time is that of the occupants of a certain house on Jefferson street near one of the churches on that street. It is alleged that the woman has no visible means of support, but lives in splendor. It is also stated that the man, whom several parties have seen, is believed to be a member of one of the largest and oldest business firms in the city. But of one thing there is no doubt entertained and that is, he is a white man. He is never wending his way to his little cottage home when the light of day is in its effulgence, but under the cover of night, with his bag of choice fruits, candies, etc., he can be seen prodding his way to this Negro woman's house—a law breaker of the vilest type—a home destroyer who seems not to care what results from his actions. Can it be true that a white man loves a black woman? Not hardly. "Then," asks a mother who is smarting under the insult, "what can be his motive? He knows that the law forbids the marrying of whites and blacks, then how can a man of his age—with the shadow of death stealing upon him and with his seeming intelligence—commit such a deed?" And so it goes. Every way you turn you will hear fathers and mothers discussing these evils. Everybody seems to be concerned, except the guardians of the peace. It seems impossible for them to see it. They are evil blind. One prominent citizens in discussing the case remarked: "The case is one that demands our attention at once, and not only that one, but others in this fair city of ours. The law strictly forbids that there be intermarriages, and public sentiment, coupled with the unwritten law, is ten times stronger than the civil law against social contact. And I do not believe that this law and this sentiment excludes that portion of our days called night. We are face to face with a serious problem. We are trying to bring up our children to be good citizens; the making of the laws and the execution of the same are entirely out of our hands, and so we are wholly dependent upon the men who make the laws to protect us from these intrusions if we be law-abiding citizens, which we are trying to be. But when we see such practices permitted as threaten to destroy our homes, we feel that it is our duty as heads of families and fathers to protect our homes at any cost. It is preposterous to ask us to tolerate the presence of a woman in the neighborhood who is living in splendor and (Continued on Page 8.) PARENTS NOT DOING THEIR DUTY TOWARD THEIR CHIDREN—TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CANNOT READ AND WRITE—EVERY BOY AND GIRL SHOULD BE IN SCHOOL—NO BUSINESS MAN WILL EMPLOY AN ILLITERATE BOY OR MAN. At the meeting of the Board of Education last Monday night the proceedings were interesting from many points of view, prominent among them being a tabulated report of the attendance at the various schools. It was shown that there is an increase of 338 in all of the schools, but upon investigation it develops that there is only an increase of 81 in all the schools for Negro children combined. This in a very poor showing, when it is remembered that the population of this city is increasing very rapidly. It shows that parents are not doing their duty in respect to sending their children to school. They are robbing the boy and girl of the opportunity to fit themselves for service. No business nor professional man wants to employ a boy or man who cannot read and write, and cannot use them for any purpose. Superintendent Weber recommended that the New High School proposition be taken up, and that a committee be appointed to look after that matter. The Negroes are still looking for a recommendation for a new building to take the place of the old Knowles School. They are strongly in favor of a new Knowles School building and also a new High School. Both would be a credit to this city. The recommendation of Superintendent Weber also suggested action by the Board with reference to the building of another high school in the city, necessitated by the large attendance of recent years. The enrollment for the present year shows a total of 16,334 or an increase of 338 over that of last year for the same time. The full report of the Superintendent to the Board is as follows: SCHOOL ENROLLMENT "The schools opened regularly on Sept.14, and now have an enrollment at this date of the following number of pupils at the various schools: School.

ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL. The question of another high school was discussed, and though next May is the earliest date that an election can be held to determine the matter, Superintendent Weber thought that some action should be taken at an early date and the matter placed before the City Council. Upon motion of Mr. Akers the President was empowered to appoint a High School Standing Committee to take up the matter, reporting at a later meeting. President Lee named Messrs. Akers, Lofton and DeWitt as the committee to take up the matter. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908 Members of the Board felt confident that the proposition would have undoubtedly carried at the last election by a large majority but for a misunderstanding current among the voters to the effect that the polls would continue open until 9 o'clock. This being a vote upon the question of a bond issue the polls had to be closed at 4 o'clock, and thus many people were deprived of the privilege of voting. The pay roll, aggregating $1,655, not including any part of teachers' salaries, but janitors' fees, etc., was approved and ordered paid. Also the presentation of accounts aggregating $3,029.74 was approved. The larger portion of this was for repairs on Wharton, Thompson and Cockrill schools. Dr. Lofton of the Instruction Committee, reported that the Subcommittee on Assignment had placed most of the teachers in the same places of last year. Mr. Hill was appointed by President Lees to attend the meetings of the City Council for the month of October. No report of the Committee on Medical Inspection was heard, no session of that committee having been held. The committee will meet at the Board of Education headquarters to-day at 4:30 o'clock. BADLY BURNED. Mr. A. B. West, who rooms at 610 to Johnston avenue, was badly burned Wednesday morning at the cotton factory in North Nashville, where he was employed as fireman. Soon after the accident Mr. West was taken to the City Hospital, where he is now receiving medical treatment. 'N HONOR OF MISS LILLIAN AJLEN. A whist party was given at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. R. S. White in honor of their sister, Miss Lillian Julia Dean Allen, last Friday evening, proving to be a beautiful affair. Miss Allen had been spending the better part of the summer with her brother at Chattanooga, and was on the eve of leaving to take up her year's work at Lawrenceville, Va. Her sister planned to have her friends spend an evening with her. The happy party spent most of the time in the popular game whist. Miss Tennie L. Hughes was the winner of the first prize, which was an owl ink well. Miss Edwina Smith was the winner of the consolation prize. The invited guests were Misses Lillian Julia Dean Allen, Lady Emma Luise Phillips, Minnie Mae Hunter, Jennice Lee Noel, Hazel Taylor Thompson, Emma Odell Owens, Georgia Anna Bradford, Lillian Estelle Badger, Edwina Caretta Smith, Callie Alberta Beasley, Laura Polk Smith, Mariea Hortense Coombs, Anita Bell Scott, Mabel Ethel Scott, Tennie Letitia Hughes, Otilla Lillian McCall, Mrs. T. G. Smith, Messrs Chas. M. Ferguson, D. Wesley Crutcher, J. Q. Taylor, Ferd Pradford, McLaurin, T. L. O'Sullivan, Robert Polk, James McCall of Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Imes, H. A. Boyd, Andrew Johnson, Wilkerson — Porter of Washington, D. C., Dr. R. B. Green. These young people all had an opportunity to say "Good-bye" to Miss Allen, as she left Monday morning, roving via Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore, for Lawrenceville, Va., where she is to teach in the Normal and Industrial Institute. Nashville society is deprived of another accomplished and charming member for the THAYER—SYKES WEDDING. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mr. Alonza C. Thayer, of Chicago, Ill., and Miss Rebecca Louvenia Sykes, of Decatur, Ala., which took place September 23. Both of the young people attended college at Fisk University. FORAKER MAKES FORCEFUL REPLY. (Continued from Page 1.) very glad to do if it were otherwise. "Assuring you of my proper appreciation for the compliment involved in the inquiry you make, I remain, very truly yours, etc., J. B. Foraker. "For weeks prior to the date of these letters the newspapers were filled with announcements threatening the company with very serious litigation and with criminal prosecutions in the Courts of Ohio. It was in view of these threatening proceedings that the company again sought to employ me; surely an idle and unnecessary performance if already employed, and these letters further show that I declined such employment, among other reasons, because I could not accept the same consistently with my relations to the public service. "The conditions had greatly changed since my former employment, largely because of the prosecutions against the company under the Elkins law, which I had helped to frame. Furthermore, the employment proposed was different in its character from that which I had previously accepted. That is to say, instead of being an employment as the former employment was, to aid the company in complying with the orders of the Courts and the statues of the state, it was to be an employment to resist suits and prosecutions instituted by the state. "I submit that these proofs should be sufficient to show to any fair and unprejudiced mind that I was never employed except prior to 1901, and that my employment then had no relation to anything that was in conflict with my public duties, but had reference solely to the reorganization of the company and its Ohio affairs, with which Congress had nothing whatever to do. "What a pity it is that Judge Taft's letter was not allowed to continue its slumber until after the election! "As to the Brownsville matter, Mr. Taft says, speaking of me: 'He has seized upon and magnified an important and incidental matter to 'embarrass the Administration,' using in this without scruple a blind race prejudice to accomplish his main purpose. "I have no way of proving what was in my mind except by referring to the record. Any one who reads that will fail to find a sentence, or a word to justify any such statement as Mr. Taft makes. "In view of Judge Taft's statement, I trust I may be allowed to repeat what I have said a number of times that in this whole matter I had no reserves to seek or personal ends to serve, but was anxious to see that common justice was done to the representatives of a noble and loyal race, every one of whom is by nature a Republican. The colored voters are known to be more or less displeased with the action of the Republican party in not passing some relief measures for these soldiers, and many of them have signified a purpose to vote against Judge Taft because of his official relation to the matter. Much work has been done to overcome this trouble and to induce the colored Republican voters of the country to stand by the party with which they have always affiliated. And now comes the President and publishes Judge Taft's letter containing his unfortunate reference to this unfortunate case. "What does he mean? Does anybody imagine that the President is unable to see that he is rubbing a sore when he should have brought a plaster? Does he imagine, or can anybody suppose that the Republican colored voters of this country can be brought to the support of Judge Taft by parading in these closing days of the campaign Judge Taft's belitting of their cheif grevance by mentioning it as 'an incidental matter' which has been 'seized upon and magnified, using in this without scruple a blind race prejudice,' and then adding the charge that all this is done only to 'embarrass the Administration' of President Roosevelt? Can it be possible that the President wants to defeat Judge Taft? That cannot be, and yet he could hardly do any other one thing better calculated to lose him votes, for no self-respecting negro, reading what Judge Taft says in this letter and adding it to all that has gone before, can vote for him without feeling that he is making a greater sacrifice than most men, white or black, are willing to make. In any event, the President's action and comments are a wrong toward the Republican party, for they amount to a charge against the party at a critical hour of the campaign of an unworthy purpose in connection with a matter that every colored man who has any pride of race holds of highest value and in deepest appreciation. What Judge Taft says in his letter is equivalent of an assertion that the colored people of the country who have been gratified by what was done in the Brownsville matter have been simply hoodwinked by designing selfishness. This is bad enough, but the President makes it worse when he says: “* * * The entire agitation over Brownsville was in large part not a genuine agitation on behalf of the colored men at all, but merely one phase of the effort by the representatives of certain law-defying corporations to bring discredit upon the Administration because it was seeking to cut out the evils connected not only with the corrupt use of wealth, but especially with the corrupt alliance between certain business men of large fortunes and certain politicians of great office.” "In other words, the Brownsville proceeding was not only all Judge Taft said it was, but in addition to being designing and selfish, it was prompted by the 'representatives of law-defying corporations to bring discredit upon the Administration and its policy with respect to them.' This is worse than the President's claim that the panic of last October was precipitated by a lot of rich men in Wall street, who wanted to bankrupt themselves and the whole country that they might discredit him; and worse even than the story that these same men raised a fund of $5,000,000 with which to prevent him from naming his chosen successor. I happen to know better than anybody else can know that there is not the slightest ground for such a charge. It is invention pure and simple, and, judging by the frequency with which the President is bringing the matter to the front, born of that disquiet which comes to the conscience when there is consciousness of having done a great wrong.

T. CLAY MOORE, Notary Public. Telephone, Main 1748. TWO MAMMOTH REPORTS Rev. Dr. Boyd, of Nashville, Secretary of Two of the Largest Boards, Reports to the National Baptist Convention—What the Home Mission Board and the Publishing Board accomplished During the Fiscal Year Ending August 31, 1908. Chantoungue Hall, Lexington, Ky. Two of the largest boards operated under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention which has been in session in this magnificent city for the past four days finished reporting to the parent body to-day. These boards were the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, of which Rev. J. P. Robinson, A. R., D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., is chairman, and the National Baptist Publishing Board, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., chairman. The Convention, as usual, waited with patience the making of these two reports. Both boards have for the past twelve years elected one secretary to serve them. Although the headquarters of the Home Mission Board is in Little Rock and the Publishing Board is in Nashville, they have accomplished greater results by continuing one secretary, as both boards work in co-operation. There is not a department of the national work, so far as the Baptists are concerned, in which there is greater activity or more work being accomplished than by these two departments. The Home Mission Board reports that, notwithstanding the panic during last fall and winter, which caused such a scarcity of money for doing missionary work, it has been able to keep at work directly and through the co-operative plan the same number of missionaries with the addition of a few more, each having reported an unusual amount of work. The board showed that it had expended for salaries of missionaries, colporters, field secretary, contributions, donations, and incidental expenses from Sept. 1, 1907, to August 31, 1908, $43,396.42, a sum much in excess of that of last year. There is hardly a state in the Union now in which this board is not doing effective Home Mission work. The report is divided up as follows: 1. The general orgainzation of the board. 2. The plan of missionary operations. 3. The co-operative work with State and Territorial Conventions and its results. 4. The work of our field secretary. 5. The missionary and colporter work performed jointly. 6. Our co-operative work with the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. 7. The beginning of missionary work in the insular possessions. 8. The West Indies Islands. 9. The great need of a Church Edifice Department. 10. The financial needs of the Home Mission Board. As usual the report of the Publishing Board created the most lasting impression. That institution, located at Nashville, is, no doubt, the biggest boast of the Negro Baptists. Its success has been phenomenal. It reaches out into the industrial world like a great lever propelling and moving along with the times. During the recent panic it was able to maintain a healthy business. While the report shows but little increase in receipts over last year, it shows an unusual volume of business with an enormous increase in the circulation of its periodicals. Dr. Boyd prefaced his report with the statement that the small increase in receipts was due to the board's inability to collect outstanding debts The most remarkable part of the report was the tabulated account of Sunday-school periodicals circulated among Negro Baptists. Dr. Boyd showed from records that there had been mailed in Sunday-school periodicals, monthlies and quarterlies, for the last fiscal year 11,001,009, as against 10,233,422 the preceding year, an increase of 767,587. The Secretary showed in his report, tabulated by months and quarters, that there had been received and mailed out a total of 226,462 letters, circulars and post cards. Aside from this, the receipts and disbursements were brought in. He showed that the receipts from all sources for the past year amounted to $160,281.95, that the amount brought forward from last year was $1,838.73, while the disbursements and running expenses for the past year aggregated $160,781.95. The report is presented in a book of 64 pages. They were distributed by the missionaries while the field secretary and the assistant secretary read from the report. There are numerous improvements cited in this report, among which were the installation of $20,000.00 worth of machinery and the erection of three new brick buildings, notable among which is the first-story of the Memorial Building begun about five years ago in memory of the great Birmingham catastrophe, which occurred during the session of this same Convention when it met at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Birmingham, Ala. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1908. The original plan of the building is four stories. The secretary stated that an effort would be made to collect the pledges so as to complete the building within the next twelve months. Almost the entire delegation crowded the Chautauqua Hall while these reports were being made. They gave their approval by repeated applause. Thousands of copies of the report were circulated among the delegates --- MARRIAGES MILLER—CAMPBELL. Miss Sadie A. Campbell and Mr. Andrew B. Miller were married last Thursday evening at eight o'clock at the Church of God, Fourth avenue, South. Rev. A. W. Thompson, D. D., performed the ceremony. The bride and groom received a number of valuable presents. ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Alsup announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Willie Andrews, to Mr. Robert L. Berry, of Chicago, ill. The marriage will take place some time this month. ANNOUNCEMENT. Mrs. Sallie Reid announces the marriage of her daughter Viola Beatrice to Mr. James A. Jenkins. The wedding took place Thursday, September 7, 1908 at Newman, Ga. The couple is now happily domiciled at 15 Auburn street, Opelika, Ala. WIN Oct 1 REV. MR. THORBOURNE ROUTE TO PANAMA- Rev. R. H. Thorbourne, the missionary to Ancon, Canal Zone, Panama, who has been in Nashville since the closing of the National Baptist Convention, left the city Monday night for Knoxville, Columbia, S. C., towns in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. He will sail for his post about November 1 from New Orleans, La. EXTERMINATING FLIES (Chicago Tribune.) There are more than 40,000 described species of flies. There are more individuals of these species than of any other group of insects. They breed rapidly and are astonishingly prolific. They and their progenitors have pestered the inhabitants of the earth for ages. The Boston dispatches tell of the plans of the State Board of Health. There is an appropriation of $100,000 as a starter, skilled scientists will help. They will devote their entire time to the work of extermination. It is proposed to clean the marshes, ponds, bays and lakes where the breeding places are found. The campaign against the pests, will be pushed with vigor. The success of the movement if persisted in is undoubted. Rats, mosquitoes and flies are doomed along with, bubonic plague, yellow fever and other diseases they help to spread. It will be a hard fight to exterminate worldwide pests, but the determination to attack them vigorously is an omen of ultimate victory. MRS. JOHNSON ENTERTAINS. Mrs. Geo. W. Johnson entertained the following ladies at her lovely home, 907 Eleventh avenue, North: Mrs. Dan Keeble, Mrs. Richard Merrill, Mrs. Anderson Ransom and Mrs. B. F. Thompson. A four-course menu was served in the beautifully decorated dining-room. Several musical selections and a solo were rendered by little Miss Lucile Johnson. At 6 o'clock frappe and ices were served on the piazza. NEW CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS. (Washington Cor. New York Sun.) That tuberculosis may be successfully treated with mercury is the claim made by Medical Inspector C. T. Hibbett, of the United States Navy, who has transmitted to the Navy Department a paper written by Naval Surgeon B. L. Wright on the treatment of tuberculosis with mercury at the Navy Hospital, Newfort, Colo. The medical inspector says: "We are almost convinced that mercury, judi- closely used, is a specific in the treatment of tuberculosis in all its forms. It should be borne in mind that some of the cases herein reported were at the time that mercury treatment was commenced apparently at death's door, and there can be no doubt that their lives were saved. COST OF ONE YEAR'S STRIKES. (New York Sun.) According to the report for 1907 of Frank Morrison, Secretary of the American Federation of Labor, covering the 12 months, October 1, 1906, to September 30, 1907, there were 1,433 strikes during that period among the labor unions affiliated with the federation. The report claims 1,071 of these strikes were won and 124 were lost. Those figures account for 1,367 of the 1,433 strikes, leaving 66 unaccounted for. The enormous sum of $3,090,359 is given as the total cost of the 1,433 strikes. Included in this great total cost are the following strikes and their individual expense, for neither of which any resultant benefit is scheduled: Strike. Cost. Typographical Union ..... $1,468,841 Mine Workers ..... 108,712 Granite Cutters ..... 18,712 Boot and Shoe Workers ..... 37,072 Brotherhood of Carpenters ..... 82,128 Hatters ..... 15,000 Iron and Steel Workers ..... 34,039 Lithographers ..... 108,167 Street Railway Employes ..... 80,117 strikes ..... $1,952,797 Practically two-thirds of the total strike cost went for nothing. THE COIN CAME BACK. The Panama ten-cent piece is about the size of the American dime, and although it is worth only half as much as the latter coin, it may be passed as such in a hurry. A man who recently went to the isthmus of Panama returned with one of these dimes in his pocket. He gave it to a friend whose wife was a collector of coins. The friend put it in his pocket, intending to give it to his wife, but gave it by mistake to his grocer in Brooklyn. He discovered the loss two days later and hurried to the grocer to trace it, if not get it. The grocer said: "Yes, I remember finding that coin in my cash register and I got rid of it in 10 minutes after you gave it to me. It is gone now, but I will speak to the woman to whom I gave it." Six days later the grocer handed the dime back to his owner with the explanation that the woman gave it to her daughter, who gave it to the ticket agent at the Park-place station of the Brighton Beach line, who gave it to a clerk in Manhattan, who gave it to the keeper of a cigar stand, who gave it to a conductor on a Broadway surface car. All the victims had good memories, and the coin was returned along the line to its first American owner. NASHVILLE'S TEXAS COLONY. Each year there are so many Texas students in the various schools that they compose almost an entire colony, as there is a nearness and a cooperation among them as students unknown and unobserved among the other student body. Every term this colony is augmented from one to ten. The schools opened this year with practically the maximum. Quite a number who were here last year returned. Several new ones have arrived. Mr. E. D. Pullum, of Houston, Texas, son of Rev. H. P. Pullum, the noted Baptist preacher and business man of the "Magnolia City," enters the medical department of Meharry as one of the new ones. Mr. Frank Gardner, also of Houston, Texas, whose father is one of the oldest members of the Railway Mail Service in Texas, is another addition. The Gardner family is noted for having all been in the mail service at one time. Young Mr. Gardner only recently left the service to take up his professional course. Information comes to the colony that others are expected the latter part of the week. Meharry and Fisk University seem to be getting the largest share of these Texas students. THE PRIMROSE CLUB OF MEMPHIS. The Primrose Club of Memphis entertained at the residence of Dr. Adams, 304 Dunlap street. The house was beautifully decorated. Many diversions were indulged in and a delicious repast was served. Music was furnished by the best orchestra in the city. Those present were, Messrs Edward Hodges, Ulysses G. Bowman, Chas Smith, Earnest Embery, Hunter, Howell Vance, Booker Williamson, Dr. Irving, Dr. Thompson, Herman Smith, Chas Bowling, I. C. Williamson, Isaac Martin, Leslie Freeman, and Misses Alice Wootson, Lela Porter, Maggie E. Jackson, Henrietta Bently, Elsie Davis, Searcy Marie Baker, Aleda Jones, L. E.

FORAKER DEFENSE Senator Joseph B. Foraker, in his letter defending himself against the charges made by William R. Hearst and answering the vicious attack made by President Roosevelt, shows himself to be the same valiant fighter that has always dared, in the past, to measure lances with any foe, who might attack him. His reply, likewise, has put a quietus upon some of those, who for political effect or personal hatreds, have accused him of venality. With Mr. Foraker's defense before the public to be compared with Mr. Hearst's charges, it would appear that those who readily condemned the Senator from Ohio, were hasty in drawing their conclusions. There is nothing in the correspondence, now that the other side has been heard from, to show that the relations between the Standard Oil Company and Mr. Foraker were other than those that might be freely entered into by any reputable attorney. At the time the Foraker letters were written by Mr. Archbold, it was not a crime to be a corporation lawyer, as Mr. Foraker has pointed out, but rather the reverse. It was known that corporations sought and secured only the best talent and a man's appointment to represent one of them was considered a recognition of ability by men who are supposed to be experts in separating the precious metal of competence from the droth of mediocracy. The reply to the vicious and cowardly attack of Mr. Roosevelt, was so hot that for once in his life the mighty letter writer in the White House has found himself unable to reply. For once the boss of the party, the "it" of the campaign is non-plussed. The "letter writer in chief" in his eagerness to hit a man, who had dared to have opinions, which later events have proven were correct, made the mistake of giving out a letter of Mr. Taft, which opens the Brownsville affair. "For once in my life I recognize that I have made a mistake in my haste in coming to the defense of my candidate and my policies," the President must think even if his bull-headedness will not permit him to acknowledge his error. Whether the letters of Messrs Roosevelt and Foraker will turn Ohio into the democratic column cannot be foreseen, but two things are certain: (1) Roosevelt's letter will lose votes for Taft, and. (2) If "Fighting Joe" Foraker is eliminated by the administration, it will be after a fight that will disrupt the whole party in Ohio. CLEAN OUT THE DIVES. A short item in one of the daily newspapers of Wednesday, stated that two policemen raided one of the College street saloons and arrested fifteen persons. Ten of them were colored men, two were white men and three were colored women. The officers made the raid just in time to prevent what is known in the locality of the saloon as a "rough house." In other words one of the habitues of the place had become intoxicated and proceeded to start a fight. The officers making the arrest did their duty and if public servants are to be thanked for rendering services for which they are paid, they deserve the thanks of the city. But whyawait the beginning of a fight to raid dives? Why allow big crowds of base men and lewd women to congregate in such places? Is there not a law in our statutes that prohibits women from visiting and congregating in saloons? Is there any reason why these contaminating dives and their wine rooms cannot be kept clean of the low classes which infest them and prey on honest, hard-working laborers? If Mayor Brown has a reason why he can not change this state of affairs we would like to hear it. We rejoice at the downfall of C. N. Haskell, Governor of Oklahoma. He is an opportunist, a demagogue. He was willing to advocate and do anything to gain his desired ends. It is well remembered with what vehement he, a Northerner, appealed to his Southern constituents in the democratic party to put a "jim crow car" section in the Oklahoma Constitution. The Constitutional Convention finding that its work would not be ratified at Washington, left the provision out. But Haskell, whose reputation as a sharper, a financial trickster, has been thoroughly aired, knew human nature. He knew what would catch the voters who had immigrated from the Southern states, hence he demanded that the first law passed should be a "jim crow car" law. Haskell's downfall is but another illustration that a man's sins will find him out. The "night-riders," who ran things with a high hand in Kentucky and Tennessee until a few of them were killed, have now begun their operations in other states. A report comes from Georgia that a band of night riders passed through a section of country composed of three counties, destroying churches and school houses. From other states come reports that cotton ginners have been warned not to gin any cotton until so ordered. Since the killing of a night rider near Clarksville the depredations of the band have not been so frequent in that district. The Clarksville treatment, though drastic, is the proper one, and every time a "night rider" puts in his appearance he should be blown into eternity. --- The Atlanta Independent charges that when the Hon. W. T. Vernon spoke during the meeting of the B.M. C. of the Odd Fellows at Atlantic City, he addressed an audience of not more than seventy-five. This apathy upon the part of the Negro to listen to representatives of the administration should awaken the chairman of the National Committee. Negroes, who are afraid to criticize Mr. Roosevelt for the mistakes he has made, on accounts of their jobs, can not lead the dissatisfied Negro voter back into the republican party and to send such men out, for campaign purposes, is an useless expenditure of the campaign fund. Its a pity that some of the preach-politicians, like the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, of New York, can not take a cue for the two leading presidential candidates and cease making political harangues on Sunday. In fact it would redound more to the interest of the race if all the "big preachers," bishops, etc., would devote more of their time to spreading the influence of the churches they represent, rather than traveling over the country boosting this or that candidate. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908. Why is it that so many little one horse white groceries seem to prosper even against the competition of Negro grocers, in sections inhabited almost exclusively by Negroes? How long would a Negro grocery last in a white settlement? Roosevelt made a record last year for sending special messages to Congress. Now he is trying to break all previous records for verbal output. He ought to let up for a while. Taft is running for the presidency. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to make a tour of Mississippi. As long as the Doctor is in that state he will scarcely be accused of playing politics. The number of representations being blasted in the present campaign makes one think of a old-fashioned "church war." A few more weeks and Teddy will cease campaign letter writing and begin his annual series of messages to Congress. COMMUNICATION Foraker Defends Himself. Over against the oft repeated saying that "all the world loves a lover," let us set one of equivalent fitness, that a courageous world respects and admires a brave and conscientious man who espouses the cause of the oppressed and manfully contends against overwhelming odds. History has furnished some splendid examples of such men—heroes in every sense of that term. The one man of these latter times to which 10,000,000 people, with the exception of a small and countable minority, point with just pride and gratitude is Joseph Benson Foraker, who is now being persecuted because he had the courage to be the lion of power in the White House and tell him to his clinched teeth, "You have done a grave and serious wrong." Mr. Foraker was never forgiven for his valiant defense of those brave men who had been so outrageously wronged. His arch enemies have kept on a still-hunt for something with which to cast aspersions on him, blacken his record and kill him politically. So when Hearst came from his den of yellow journalism with his accusations, Mr. Foraker's enemies clapped their hands, threw their ready caps into the air and exclaimed, with a sort of wild and maddening glee, as did Shylock, "We have him now upon the hip, and we'll feed fat the ancient grudge we bear him." The President lost no time in disseminating the Hearst charges. While this was an unseemly thing for the President of the United States to do, yet so eager was he to get revenge on the man who had shown him up to all the world so disparagingly with reference to his unjust treatment of the soldiers, that he forgot his high station and all presidential dignity to sling the Hearst mud. He has made a first-rate slinger; but whether will hurt Mr. Foraker most or the Republican party remains to be seen. Mr. Foraker, in answering the attack upon him, quotes Mr. Taft as follows: "As to the Brownsville matter, Mr. Taft says, speaking of me: 'He has seized upon and magnified an important and incidental matter to embarrass the administration, using in this without scruple blind race prejudice to accomplish his main purpose.'" Mr. Foraker, in continuing his comment on what Mr. Taft had to say with reference to him and the Brownsville affair, says some very significant things, which should not be lost sight of my Negro people. Should not the Negro press throughout the country give their moral support to Mr. Foraker in this evil hour when his enemies are endeavoring to overwhelm him because of his heroic, magnificent and successful defense of the Negro soldiers? Should they not express their confidence in him as one of the noblest of Americans? For he served the Negro people in an acceptable way at one of the most critical periods of their history. JADECEE. --- ANENT THE REPLY OF MR. A. N JOHNSON. To The Nashville Globe: Supposing my friend Mr. A. N. Johnson is bidding for notoriety and assuming the air of the ridiculous in its plight, I beg to reiterate my challenge to Mr. A. N. Johnson, as it is clear and explicit—not wavering from any of the grounds that I have allwed him to take. I think they can be accepted according to the terms, and if there are any modifications insert them and they are accepted in advance by me. It is true we were thirsty, but in the same proportions as took water into our abdominal cavity, in the same pro ALL WE ASK IS TO GIVE US A TRIAL!

We assure you fair treatment and if you are dissatisfied with anything that you may purchase from us, return it and we will cheerfully refund the money.

I believe he had enough to run some miles (?) My distinguished opponent charges me with importing Slat(t)er to report the debate, I think I was more modest than himself in that, since he wrote his reply to the Globe, I am constrained to believe that he wrote our debate for the Globe, or he has such a good memory that the mere reading of an article as it appears in the Globe causes it to become his very word and deed. The American civilization is made from its reverses. Unless we are reversed some time we would not know how to appreciate victory. It is some times more honorable to lose than to win and I must say that the occasion, our debate, was one to me. To be frank I must say my friend Mr. Johnson is "Warm Stuff," but it takes very little exertion to put a quietus on him and the summum bonum of all his knowledge. Very often we toy with men that we may see their weak points, which we all have. Mr. Johnson is invulnerable for argument of yesterday, but of today he is as ignorant as a bull bat. I would say for the benefit of Mr. Johnson that I have not been chosen as the representative of the Democratic Party any more than Mr. Johnson is the self-embodiment of the Rooseventian principles, and if my friend were the lone representative the Republican Party had to expose its principles among my people, every colored man would be a Democrat on general principles, because the Negro is looking for enlightenment. Name "Time," "Subject," "Place," and "A Week's Notice," and A. N. Johnson will be weighed in the balance and his stock will be on the market at 100 per cent less than par. R. L.

With $25,000 salted away in a bank, a recent inheritance from a deceased uncle in Reading, there is no likelihood of Albert Hinnershitz, known as Pottstown's rich bootblack, going broke through extravagance. When the good news came to him of the legacy that would fall into his hands he kept right on shining shoes at a hotel stand here, and also tilled a little farm that he had bought from his savings, across the Sshuylkill River, near Shenkel. Mr. Hinnershitz some time ago determined to add some improvements to his place in the way of a pig pen, chicken and slaughter houses, but vowed he would not pay the tariff-protected prices of the Lumber Trust for materials. So he cast about for bargains and landed three discarded cars of a local trolley line. These he had transported to his farm, painted them red and blue, and now they are serving his purposes almost as well as if they were specially constructed buildings. His novel line of trolley cars are an object of much interest to the stran-object of much interest to the stran-shows the fine porkers in one of them he ofttimes says: "You've seen hogs in trolleys before, haven't you?"

The sympathy of the crowd was with the white man, So the Ne- gro was pulled off the “affinity” ‘and given some rough treatment. _ Some one yelled, “Lynch him!”’ and the crowd began to hustle the black to- ward a tree, : “Hold on here, men; I’m a white man and that’s my wife, and I have caught her with another man,” yelled Henry.

Telephone 395 "It does not seem possible, nor do the people of Iowa believe me when I tell them that there are frogs in Texas as large as hens," said George I. Huffman. "Everybody knows Horace A. Brown, formerly of Iowa. It was on his farm last Sunday that I saw this sight for myself. In his front yard he has a regular frog pond, and instead of killing chickens for dinner as we do in this country, he goes out and kills frogs for the legs. Two frogs will serve six people. When he wants frogs he goes out to the pond after night with a lantern and spears them. It is much easier than running down a chicken. One night I went out with him, and by taking a stick we would rouse them out, and they were every bit as big as chickens. Frogs cost their owners nothing and there is nothing but profit for the raisers of these frogs." BIRTHDAY PARTY. Little Miss Katie Bell Drew entertained a number of her friends at her home,1808 Herman street, last Friday the occasion being her ninth birthday. The room was decorated with cut flowers. Games were, played, after which an appetizing two-course menu was served. Those present were John Hampton, Roberta Outlaw, Bennie Smyth, Laura Claiborne, Tommie Smyth, May G.

In publishing the list of prize winners at the Tennessee Colored Fair several winners, by inadvertance, were left out. For example, Mrs. Georgia McEwen and Mrs. John Lytton captured first prizes. Mrs. Lytton took the first prize for the best cakes on exhibition. Her collection of cakes was superb and it is a matter of general regret that she did not enter them the following week at the white State Fair. Many of those who attended the latter show expressed the opinion that she would easily have out distanced any of her competitors. IN HONOR OF EAST NASHVILLE DRAMATIC CLUB. The East Nashville Dramatic Club was entertained last week by Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Townsend. The reception was given at their residence on Webster street, East Nashville. The members of the company invited a few visitors to partake of the generous hospitality of the doctor and his good wife. Novel games were inaugurated for the evening. One was a game in which the contestants saw how many peanuts could be taken out of a dish upon a knife-blade, carried across the room and deposited in a plate. Mrs. Geo. S. White was the winner of the prize, having carried seventeen in three efforts. Mrs Townsend served refreshments in the dining-room, and at each plate was placed a souvenir. When this souvenir was unwrapped it was found to be a bright red paper cap. Several selections were played and sung during the course of the evening. After a pleasant evening the guests departed for their several homes. F. D. THOMAS AT LOS ANGELES. Mr. Fred D.

The last few days of September were ideal days for football, and with the opening of the schools of Nashville the readers of the Globe are anxious to learn what is being done by them along this line. The sporting editor has been unable to get any line on the teams that are to represent the several schools, and he is at a loss to know what to do. This season will no doubt bring to light many new features in the football world, and the public is waiting to see how the changes in the rules will work. Of course, last season brought about many changes. The game was made more open and less dangerous; the old mass plays and straight buck, so famous in the old game, had been displaced by the fast end runs and long forward passes, which had the effect of letting the public see who was carrying the ball and at all times see just exactly where and who made the gains. In the old game one could not tell who made the gains or who was carrying the ball. The rules this season are going to give a better chance to see the game in all of its finer points. Only at rare intervals will we see the old straight line plunge or the heavy mass play which made the game so dangerous in the old days. The coaches now have turned their attention from the heavy line-plunging backfield player to the fleet-footed athlete who can successfully flank the opponent's ends and who has developed the skill of the drop kick and forward pass. The line men also must be strong men, able to stand off the opposing lines, and yet they must be fast enough to mix in every play. The ends must be extra fast men with a wonderful knowledge of the game, for upon them is the responsibility of getting down the field on the kicks and breaking up the forward pass whenever tried. It is safe to say that the team with a strong line and two good ends will be a hard team to score against. Of course, coaches differ as to the use o fends, as well as they do about the style of play; yet when it comes to the general principle they all will agree that the teams of to-day demand men who, above all, are fast. Speed seems to be the watchword. When various teams trot out on the field instead of seeing a large amount of avoirdupois as heretofore, you will see the athletes with hardened muscle, plenty of speed and alert. This does not mean that you will see no large men, but it does mean that when you see them large they will have enough speed to make them hold their own. Now for the team that will represent Nashville. Of course we can say nothing about what will be, but can hope that they will continue to keep up that high standard set long years ago. All the teams have suffered from the loss of good men, but it is hoped that the coaches in charge can develop from the material on hand men to fill the places left vacant. This is by no means an easy job, for men like King and King, Terry and Allison are not found every day. But here's hoping that when the season is on and the referee blows his signal to start play, all the teams will have men to wear the moleskin skin that are trained and skilled in the game. J.

White the well-known veteran of the Civil War, who also holds the unique distinction of being the oldest employee in the city of Nashville of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, has just returned from a twelve day vacation. While away Mr. White visited Louisville, Covington, Ky., Cincinnati and French Lick, Indiana. Mr. White had a most enjoyable trip meeting many of his old acquaintances at French Lick. He was the guest of his daughter. The employees in the local offices of the L. & N. are raising a purse to give to this interesting character a gold medal in commemoration of the fifty-first year he has been with the company. Mr. Lawrence Williams, a Fisk student, returned to the city last Saturday night after a three months stay at the summer resorts of Michigan. THE BAPTISTS GO ON RECORD. The Recent Session of the National Baptist Convention Sets a High When the associated press dispatches gave out to the world the action of the National Baptist Convention in which it took a decided stand in favor of Negro dolls for Negro children, it was not thought that such wide interest would be created in its action but the Baptist following, such as constitute their national gatherings, are looking far ahead, in fact, it seems that the four distinct Negro religious denominations are setting the pace for real race pride. Hence, whatever they do is regarded by the whole world as the thought, action, and real opinion of the American Negro. It was the resolution adopted by that body of religious workers declaring in favor of Negro dolls that has caused so much comment. Scores of the leading daily papers in the United States have commented editorially upon this resolution and yet there are thousands of Negroes in every city who have not read the resolution nor do they know of its far-reaching influence upon the people. The people of Nashville are ever on the alert for live and Interesting items. Unlike most cities there seems to be a greater development of race pride, thrift, and energy shown in every walk of life. The Negro doll idea may seem insignificant to some members of the race, but it is by no means considered so by the chroniclers of news and the molders of sentiment among what is often termed the white race. Nashville is interested because Nashville is setting the pace. The leading morning paper of this city, The Nashville American, in an editorial under the caption of "A Good Sign," in its issue of Sept. 30, touching upon this resolution, remarked: "The Colored National Baptist Association, in convention at Lexington, Ky., discussed the doll question and decided that negro children should have negro dolls to play with. As an exhibition of race pride and race devotion this is to be commended. The white or French doll with its flaxen hair, blue eyes and white-and-red cheeks was put on the blacklist, or if blacklist does not seem to be quite the word, it was tabooed. Announcement was made that the church authorities already had this question in hand and the Colored Baptist Publishing House in Nashville is already engaged in the manufacture of black dolls which are not intended to be caricatures, as most colored dolls are. The Association adopted this resolution: "Whereas, our people for half a century, because of the uncomely and deformed features of negro dolls, have spent thousands of dollars on white dolls for Christmas, etc.; therefore, be it. "Resolved, that we do here and now give our indorsement and hearty approval of the negro doll factory and not only urge the patronage of the people of our churches as Baptists, but of the race at large throughout the United States." Why shouldn't colored children have colored dolls that are not scarecrows? The effort to provide such is significant. Teach the negro child pride in its race. There is no hope for those who are ashamed of their race." This will at least have its weight coming as it does from Nashville's leading daily. But the paper of all papers in the South, the Atlanta Constitution, second only to the Courier Journal, of Louisville, in its editorial column, had a few remarks on the same subject. It said: "The Indian baby wants a doll that looks like an Indian pappoose. The Esquimaux child would probably not know what to make of a doll unless it looked like an Esquimaux. The babies of Holland are furnished dolls dressed in queer little bonnets and wooden shoes, just like the grown-ups wear. The Kaffir child would not take the same measure of delight in any doll baby that did not look like itself. "And yet, the negro baby must have a white doll. The association of negro Baptist ministers says, in effect, that is bad reasoning: that it is contrary to the constitution and subversive of the inalienable rights of man among which is the pursuit of happiness. "So they declare for the manufacture of negro dolls. The resolution reefs that "the uncomely and deformed features of the negro dolls" has led to the purchase of white dolls for negro children in the past. In future the negro baby must have a doll at Christmas that looks like itself and must not be deformed in feature until it looks like something else." Coming back to Tennessee and feeling the pulse of one of the great dailies in this Volunteer State we find the following utterances in the Chattanooga Times: "The Colored National Baptist Association has solemnly decided that hereafter black dolls only must be served to children of the denomination. It was also decided that all negroes should patronize the only negro doll factory in the United States, that operated by the colored Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn. The sentiment would seem to be all right YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND OUR FALL OPENING :-- WE TAKE PLEASURE IN SHOWING YOU THE VERY LATEST STYLE IN AND IN EXPLAINING TO YOU THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF OUR LITTLE PAYMENT PLAN. and the practical result will help a worthy enterprise operated by colored men and women. Race pride will do more for the negro than indulgence in political activity." There seems to be nothing left to be said to encourage the movement which has its great beginning in this historical city. TOO MANY VISITS AFTER SUN DOWN. (Continued from Page 1.) who has no visible means of support; and the man, be he white or black, who attempts to thrust such a character upon the citizens of a respectable community, is deserving of the severest punishment. And as men we are not worthy to be husbands or fathers if we permit it to be done. We have tolerated this thing too long. No white man has any business at a black woman's house over two minutes in the day time, to say nothing of spending hours at night, and as men we must have the courage to break up these evils." Conversation after conversation could be cited from the best men and women from all parts of the city. The Negroes are determined that the city be cleansed of these evils. They desire that white men stay in their places and they are determined that every black woman who stoops so low as to associate with white men at night shall be marked as with a "Scarlet Letter." MRS. KENNEY AT LITTLE ROCK. Mrs. Maria C. Kenney, of Twelfth avenue, North, left the city Thursday night of last week to assume the duties of Lady Principal at Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock. Ark. Some time ago Mrs. Kenney was connected with the school, which now numbers about 500 students. After the convention of the Federation of Colored Women in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, Mrs. Kenney delivered several lectures in Greater New York and one in Providence, R. L., which received the commendation they merited. She was compelled to refuse many requests to speak while on her Eastern tour. She has been asked to speak next year in the North, East and West, even as far as California. IMPUDENT POLICEMAN. Three prominent young business men, who had just left their places of business and were awaiting the arrival a street car, were the victims of the unwarranted spleen of an impudent policeman, at the corner of Cedar street and Fourth avenue, Wednesday night. The officers, who had just come on duty, ordered the three men to move so as to not blockade the sidewalk. This they did though at the time two of them were in the street, while the third was on the curbing completely out of the way of pedestrians. The men having moved as requested, one of the officers, who was particularly officious, began to mutter or rather speak to his companion, using language that good morals and the postal authorities prevent being quoted by the Globe. The officer then approached the men, who were not dressed like "bums," and with offensive language ordered them to move on. They grasped their clubs as if ready to use them at the least provocation and drove the men away as if they were a band of outlaws. It was impossible at the time to learn the name of the policeman whose language and action was so offensive. Howver it is said that he has the reputation of being a bully. One citi- N.,C. & St.L.Ry.

It would seem that Chief Curran in selecting his details would get men for the downtown district who have judgement enough to avoid such blunders as this officer has made, at least, that is what the citizens think whose business calls them upon his "beat."
