THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. IV. THEIR ACTIONS CREATE COMMENT BOTH REPUBLICAN CONGRESS-MEN FROM TENNESSEE Refuse to Vote on the Brownsville Bill. NEGROES SUPPORTED THEM IN LAST ELECTION—NOT GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT, IT SEEMS—MUCH SPECULATION AS TO MEANING OF CONGRESS-MEN—BELIEVED TO BE MORAL COWARDS — SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT VOTES FOR BILL—HOBSON, OF ALABAMA, THE HERO. Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.—During the great fight in the House of Representatives to-day while the Brownsville Bill, which provided for the re-enlistment of the discharged Negro soldiers, was being hotly debated, one had an opportunity to see the metal out of which some Republican Congressmen are made. It was regrettable that no firm stand was taken by the few republican members in the law-making body coming from south of the Mason and Dixon line, either for or against this bill. This appears to be true with possibly one or two exceptions, but it is reported to be a fact beyond successful contradiction concerning the Republican members from Tennessee. Although quite a number of their supporters, counting for much during a campaign, are Negroes, they did not appear to be manly enough to show which side of the fence they were on when it came time to vote. In fact, nothing can be seen and nothing is known in this city that they have contributed towards the relief of the discharged soldiers. It was asserted that they were either afraid of southern sentiment and acted less than men, aiding and abetting by their silence, or dodging the issue by falling to meet it. Democrats who opposed the wholesale discharge of these three companies without honor were not afraid to speak out on the subject. One of the Democratic Congressmen, William Pierson Hobson, coming from an almost entirely black belt in Alabama, whose home is in Greensboro, Hale County, had the manhood to vote with the Republicans on the bill. It can be said of Mr. Hobson that he, although a Democrat, was at one time an official of high rank in the navy, and hence is in sympathy with any man or set of men, who are accused, dismissed, or disgraced without having their guilt established beyond a shadow of a doubt. In fact, Senator Foraker's pet measure, although changed and given another name, still embodies many principles for which he contended, did not have the support of the Southern Republicans. Tennesseans who are here and who are coming in here for the inauguration have not been slow to see this, and some attention, it is said, will be paid to the silent Republican members, who either by their silence or failure to support the measure, attempted to defeat it at the next general election. The two Tennessee members, Republicans, coming from East Tennessee, W. P. Brownloe and J. H. Hale, were absolutely silent, even refusing to vote, and yet the bill passed the House and to-day it is freely predicted will be signed by the President, though it was not all that the soldiers were entitled to. Foraker and others think that the entire battaillon should have been restored, but after the Ohioan presented it to the upper house, compliments and gratitude from ten million loyal Americans of one race, with millions of others, cheer him as the noblest Roman of them all and some seem to think that more honor, more recognition and a greater career await him. BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. Elsewhere in this paper will be found excerpts from the speech of Senator Tillman which he delivered in the Senate of the United States last Saturday. Mr. Tillman used the Brownsville NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1909. THE LATE JOSEPH OLIVER BATTLE, Editor of The Nashville Globe, and Treasurer Globe Publishing Company. EDITOR JOSEPH OLIVER BATTLE PASSES QUIETLY AWAY. Mr. J. O. Battle, who died in Tulahoma, Tenn., last Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, was one of the most highly respected citizens of Nashville. He had only been in Tulahoma two days and a few hours when the end came having been carried there on the midday train Monday, March 1. Mr. Battle had been in failing health for several months, but did not give up his work entirely until the latter part of last December, when at the solicitation of a host of friends he decided to go to San Antonio, Texas, to recuperate. He stayed about two months, with little or no improvement noticeable, so it was thought advisable to have him return home. Mr. H. A. Boyd went to San Antonio and accompanied him to this city. They reached here Friday evening, February 27. Mr. Battle, though very weak and exhausted from the long journey, was greatly refreshed when he met his friends and relatives at home. He talked freely of his trip affair as a means by which to vent his spleen on President Roosevelt and to satisfy his soul's craving for a general and wholesale attack upon the Negro and his kind. It is indeed wonderful what an all-absorbing topic the Negro is, and what a fruitful source of revenue to the man hunting for cheap notoriety and a means by which to line his capacious pockets. Upon these moral, mental and physical degenerates the Negro question has the same effect as the flaunting of a red rag before the eyes of an angry bull. They lose their heads and charge upon every and anybody who seems to stand in their way. It is unfortunate for the Negro at (Continued on Page 8.) to Texas and was urgent in his requests that preparations be made at once for him to go up to Tullahoma, Tenn. His wishes were gratified to this extent, as it was apparent to his relatives and friends that time would soon cease to reckon with him, and that he ought to be granted what ever requests he might make. Mr. Battle came to Nashville from Chattanooga about twelve years ago to accept a position with the National Baptist Publishing Board, and he remained with that institution until his death. When the Nashville Globe was started a little over three years ago he was elected editor, and the methods he employed have been a revelation to Negro journalism. Mr. Phil H. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., a man of wide experience in the journalist world, yesterday sent the following telegram of condolence: Hopkinsville, Ky., March 4, 1909. H. A. Boyd, Manager Nashville Globe, Nashville, Tenn. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, JR. SPEAKS. A very large and appreciative audience greeted Mr. Booker T. Washington, Jr., of Flisk University, upon the occasion of his speech before the Young People's Club of the Spruce Street Baptist Church last Thursday evening, February 25. This being the regular meeting of the club a highly interesting and instructive program, consisting of several musical selections and short addresses, was rendered. Mr. Washington's address, however, was the feature of the evening. In a very happy way he was introduced by Pastor Townsend as a "chip off the old block." Although this might be called young Washington's malden effort, he never The race lost its fighting arm when brave Joe Battle fell. Convey to his family my sympathy and regret. PHIL H. BROWN. He was brave and courageous, and to use the words of Hon. J. C. Napier, uttered at the occasion of the annual dinner of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House, "He was fearless yet conscientious; when he differed with you in his editorials he did it in a way that no one could take offense." The funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 p. m. at the First Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. Dr. W. S. Ellington. The pall-bearers will be as follows: Joseph Woodfolk, Eugene Page, Wesley Crutcher, Joseph DeWees, H. A. Boyd, L. S. Gray, Geo. O. Boyd and D. A. Hart. The body will lie in state in the chapel of A. N. Johnson, funeral director, 422 Cedar street, until Saturday evening, March 6. theless proved equal to the occasion and thoroughly entertained the splendid audience before him. He spoke upon the subject "Character Building," emphasizing especially the place of work in character-building. When, with much earnestness, he declared that "all work is honorable and all forms of idleness is a disgrace," he struck a responsive cord in the hearts of his hearers, who readily recognized this as the doctrine, not only of young Washington, but as the teachings of his illustrious father. All in all, Mr. Washington's effort was a splendid one. Upon the conclusion of his address a rising vote of thanks was extended him by the Club. Personally he was the recipient of many congratulations. No. 9. PRESIDENT MORRIS ISSUES' GALL BAPTISTS ANTICIPATE A GREAT MEETING—SEVEN BOARDS TO CONVENE HERE IN JUNE—SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS AND B. Y. P. U. CHAUTAUQUA EXPECTED TO ECLIPSE ALL PREVIOUS SESSIONS—EXTREMELY LOW RAILROAD RATES INSURE LIC GATHERING. According to a statement recently made in this city, the President of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. E. C. Morris, D.D., located at Helena, Ark., has advised Prof. R. B. Hudson, Secretary of the Convention, to issue the official call for the Executive Board of that body to meet in this city June 9, at 10 o'clock. The meeting will be held in connection with the great Sunday-School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua, which will be in session in this city from the 9th to the 14th of June. The call coming from the President means the assembling of the vice presidents of this convention, one from each state in the Union. The purpose of this meeting will be to arrange a program for the next convention and such other matters as are usually taken up at these Board meetings. The Executive Board proper consists of more than seventy-five members. It was also learned from Mr. Henry A. Boyd, the Secretary of the Congress Movement, that the call includes the seven Boards operated under the National Baptist Convention, namely: the Home Mission Board, with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark., J. P. Robinson, chairman; the Benefit Board at Helena, Ark., A. A. Cosey, chairman; the Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn., C. H. Clark, chairman; the B. Y. P. U. Board at Nashville, Tenn., P. James Bryant, Atlanta, Ga., chairman; Foreign Mission Board, Louisville, Ky., C. H. Parrish, chairman; the Woman's Auxiliary Board, Louisville, Ky., Mrs. S. W. Layton, of Philadelphia, president; the Educational Board, Rev. T. J. Searcy, Memphis, Tenn., chairman. The chairman of each Board will send the call to their various members to meet here at the same time. These Boards have a member from each state and their assembling here will bring about 450 religious workers in addition to the already large delegation to the Sunday-School Congress. There has also been a call made for the Educators' Conference to be held at the same time. This will bring the presidents or a representative from each of the 42 universities, colleges and academies now in operation by this denomination. The official call signed by Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was sent out from Selma early this week and conveyed to the various boards and officials of the Convention the request to assemble. It was further stated at the headquarters of the Congress Movement that all railroads are now considering an extremely low rate, which if granted will bring thousands of people to Nashville for this occasion. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The Negro Business League will meet Wednesday night, March 10, 1909, at the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue, North. The National organizer of the National Business League, Mr. Fred R. Moore, of New York, will visit Nashville on March 10, and wishes to see and speak to every business Negro man and woman of the city. All musicians and professional men and women are invited to attend. The meeting opens at 7:30 p. m. R. H. BOYD, President Local Business League. 2 ORATORICAL CONTEST AT WAL DEN.

TO FIND RELATIVES. There have been separations in many families, most of this being brought about by the conditions that prevailed during the days of reconstruction or soon after the emancipation. Father was separated from wife, mother from daughter, sister from brother, and so on. A case of this has come to light now: Rev. Samuel A. Franklin, who is residing in New Castle, Wash., is in search of relatives and has placed the following information in the hands of the Globe. He wrote a letter as follows: "I would like to know the whereabouts of my people. My mother belonged to Judge Reeves, who owned the plantation called Castle Hill in Albamar county, Calhoun. My mother's name was Susan Franklin. There were nine children of us. I had brothers by the names of Sandy and Richard; sisters, Millie, Rose, Henrietta, Katie, and another by the name of Ludle. I cannot remember the name of the last one, as I left home in 1881. My people were members of the Zion Hill Baptist Church and Rev. Robert Hughes was pastor. At the time I left home my Sister Millie was living in New York and my mother had married again to a man by the name of Bartlett Boves. My Sisters Katie and Henrietta went by the name of Boves." Any information that can be given as to whereabouts of any of these people should be sent to Rev. Samuel A. Franklin, Box 61, in care of Miss Mary Franklin. LADIES' AID SOCIETY. The Ladies' Aid Society of the First Baptist Church met at the home of Mrs. John W. Work, Sr., Cedar street, Monday evening, March 1. After the business Mrs. A. B.

The sermon Sunday at the First Baptist Church preached by Dr. Ellington on "The Prodigal Son" drew a magnificent audience. It was one of the best efforts ever made by this able divine. Quite a number of flattering compliments were heard on all sides. Among the visitors at the Mount Olive Sunday-school last Sunday were six students of the Missionary Training School of the Methodist Church South, one of the largest white institutions in the country. These students expressed themselves as being highly pleased with such a large Sunday-school that appeared to be doing much work. One of the ladies was introduced. She spoke encouragingly and expressed her pleasure at being permitted to congratulate them on their work. On last Saturday Miss E. B. DeLany, of Fernandina, Fla., stopped over for the day. Miss DeLany was en route to Newark, N. J., where she goes to conduct one of her Negro doll bazaars. The bazaar opened Monday night at the First Baptist Church at Newark that is pastored by Rev. W. A. Harris. Miss DeLany took with her another large order for Negro dolls. She declared that the North was as enthusiastic over the Negro doll question as any section of the country. Every man in Nashville ought to hear Mr. Chas. Stewart on Sunday at 3:30. The announcement and the place of meeting appear in another column of the Globe.

Back in Tennessee After a Two Months' Stay in Texas. During the month of December, 1908, the Editor of the Globe was forced to abandon his active work and seek the balmy climate of Southwest Texas in search of better health. Upon his arrival it appeared that he would improve, but certain changes came about and his condition was to no great extent bettered. Finally it was decided that it would be better for him near home and relatives. hence the Globe Publishing Company decided that the manager should go for him. Manager Boyd left on Friday, February 19, and reached San Antonio Saturday. On his arrival he was most royally entertained by Texas friends. After some three days' sojourn in the metropolis of Texas he began the trip to Tennessee, bringing Mr. Battle with him. Every precaution for a comfortable and pleasant journey had been taken. Telegrams were sent ahead to practising physicians, in case that he should not stand the journey medical attention could be given. Upon reaching New Orleans, the two were met by Dr. Chas. B. Wickham, who attended the patient during his stay, which was prolonged on account of missing connection at New Orleans. Dr. Wickham announced after examination and treatment that there were no necessarily dangerous symptoms that would prevent his continuing the trip. At Montgomery it was thought to call in Dr. Washington but continued improvement was noted. At Birmingham Dr. U. G. Mason, the leading practitioner, had responded to the telegraphic instruction and was at the station. Upon entering the car and offer a diagnosis he, too, declared that all had been done and was being done that could be offered by the medical profession. The patient was holding up well, notwithstanding the long trip and the layover necessitated by delayed trains. Upon his arrival at Nashville quite a large number of friends were at the Union Station Mr. Battle was so improved that he was up, dressed, and able to walk from the cars to the elevator. The first part of the week he was still in excellent spirits and resting comfortably. Arrangements have been made for him to go to Tullahoma to remain until summer, at which time it is hoped that he will be much improved PASSED THE EVENING PLEASANTLY. A jolly crowd met at the home of Miss Estella Berry last Monday evening. Games and dancing were enjoyed until a late hour. A two-course menu was served. Those present were Miss Josie Muse and Mr. Walter Hollin, Miss Ella Northern and Mr. Henry Stockell, Miss Lula Northern and Mr. Charles Powell, Miss Mabel Taylor and Mr. Taylor, Miss Clara Northern and Mr. C. Gleaves, Miss Olivi Weakley and Mr. John Caldwell, Miss Anna Muse and Mr. Reuben Hill, Mr. Andy Stockell and Maggie L. Cheatham, Messrs. Ephema Moore, John Galloway, E. Bonds, William Hargraves, Wm.

FORAKER WON. Senator Foraker in winning his fight for the Negro soldiers won a fight for the greatest principle underlying American liberty—that of the right of trial before an impartial court by an impartial jury before conviction can be had and punishment inflicted. He waged a struggle for the preservation of the most sacred principle of American jurisprudence which rightly entitles him to the lasting gratitude of every citizen of this country, regardless of race, color or condition. The principle for which Mr. Foraker has for the last two years contended with all the power of his brilliant and resourceful mind is the same which had its origin in the Magna Charta, the Great Charter of English liberties, which the barons of England wrung from old King John. That great instrument, declaratory of human rights, contained among its more important provisions, the right of trial by a jury of one's peers, exemption from arbitrary arrest, that justice should not be sold, denied, nor delayed, and that protection of life and property from unlawful deprivation should ever obtain sacred and inviolable. The right of trial has threaded its way, basically, through English and American jurisprudence from the signing of the great Bill of Rights by King John at Runnymede, June 15, 1215, to the concurrence of the House of Representatives in the Senate or Aldrich bill, February 27, 1909, sustaining Senator Foraker's contention—a contention which held that the Negro soldiers were entitled to trial under the law and the Constitution and were innocent until proven guilty. This, as is well known the world over, was not done, though every effort was made to do so, and that, too, at the instigation of those at the head of this powerful government. Every well-informed person is sensible of the fact that Mr. Foraker made his masterly fight for a vital principle of law, one that safeguards himself and his children as it does every American citizen and his children; one that must remain inviolate if this government is not to meet a fate similar to that of Assyria, Greece, or Rome the grandeur or glory of whose civilization is but a magnified memory. The soldiers themselves were a secondary consideration. Their cause rested on a principle, which had been denied them, and THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 5. 1909. for this Mr. Foraker fought with that consummate skill and forensic ability equal to Webster's defense of the Constitution in his famous debate with Hayne. His was a giant's task and like a mental giant he accomplished it. No man in American public or private life to-day is the recipient of such deep, heartfelt gratitude as is Joseph Benson Foraker, the man who defeated the rankest and most unconstitutional proceedings involving the rights of American citizens. Ten million Negro people, as one man, pay high tribute to this noble, courageous and unselfish man. They are aware of the fact that he fought not for them as Negroes, but for a deathless principle underlying the safety and perpetuity of democratic institutions and citizenship. Mr. Foraker did his duty despite the evil schemings of his enemies to defeat him politically as a matter of revenge. Great, he arose above circumstances and won a national victory in which every man should have a just pride. Yes, the Negro people will ever love him as one of the noblest of Americans, and his achievement will ever stand out invincible, commanding and sublime, the heritage of all. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY. A new Roger Williams University is rising phenix-like to take the place of the old which was destroyed by fire some years ago. The work being pushed forward to build up a new university is a credit to the Negro Baptists of this State. When they awakened to the realization of the fact that the American Home Mission Society of New York would not rebuild the university and that even the site, where once stood the beloved old institution, would be sold, and was sold, for residential buildings, they determined that there should be a Roger Williams University. The leaders of the denomination in the State immediately came together and acted upon that determination. At once one of the most beautiful and classical sites for such an institution was negotiated for and the people were called upon to assist in furnishing the means to pay for it, and they responded most loyally and liberally and the purchase price was paid. Already on the site was a large and splendid building, which was partitioned and made ready for temporary use as the main building for the opening term of the new Roger Williams University, which began on January 1, 1908. President J. W. Johnson, of Roger Williams, is a capable man, ripe in scholarship and an unostentatious Christian, but a hustling financier, an active, energetic executive. He is pushing the constructive work at the University with a vim, and the magnificent building in the course of erection will soon be completed and ready for occupancy. It is a splendid four-story structure and will furnish dormitory accommodation for a large number of girls, besides a spacious chapel and class rooms. It will meet a long-felt want in relieving the congested condition prevailing at the institution. President Johnson is wedded to the work of making the University a credit to the community, the denomination and the race. He is measuring up to the confidence reposed in him by the people, and this is not idle or exaggerated praise. He is working away with a will and to the purpose, backed up by the loyal constituency of Tennessee Baptists, which will ultimately count for much. The literary work being done by the students in the college, academic and normal departments is commendable and speaks highly of the thorough and efficient service being rendered by President Johnson and the able corps of instructors under him. Roger Williams University is now a Negro institution, absolutely under control of Negroes, from turret to foundation. This is as it should be. And the sainted spirits of the noble philanthropists who gave old Roger Williams to the Negroes forever will smile their approval of the determina- tion of the Negroes to have a Roger Williams University anyhow, despite the unfortunate subversion of their will by those who disposed of the property they had given and dedicated to the Negroes for educational purposes forever. ROOSTING AT HOME. The democratic chickens have come home to roost, and this is but a verification of the logic contained in the old Grecian proverb to that effect. That kind of politics is being practiced against what is known as "machine democracy" which it practiced in times past against the Negro. The prohibition Democrat and Republican have met on common ground, had an understanding, joined forces and have the administration forces on the run, if report is true that they had to leave the State to break a quorum and prevent being arrested by Sergetant-at-Arms of the General Assembly. This new move of breaking a quorum and thereby preventing legislation by a majority, because of a lack of a two-thirds majority, is probably a late afterthought born of desperation. Things had become indeed sinister for the "regulars," and when they were about to go down a fourth time to defeat, they discovered this quorum-breaking straw, grabbed it and saved themselves for the time being. Tennessee is making political history now of which she will be ashamed in the future. She may pull out the nails, but the prints or holes will tell of her sins and errors. One part of her representatives is desirous of transacting the state's business, but is compelled to remain idle because the other necessary part for the legal transaction of business has absented itself and sojourns in another state. These conditions are unsavory, but nevertheless they exist. And what Marc Antony said after he had stirred up the Roman rabble would fly the Tennessee political situation: "Mischief, thou art afoot." Representative Hobson, of Alabama (the same of Merrimac fame), is the only Southerner who supported the Senate bill authorizing the reinstatement of the Negro soldiers, the victims of Roosevelt's notorious and ill-advised order. Having been a soldier himself, Mr. Hobson had the courage to deal fairly with a fellow soldier, even though his skin is dark. This was manly and is the commendable stuff in all manly men. Yesterday the word of theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States would have stood against the world. But to-day, stripped of official power, it is but the word of a private citizen, one of the eighty million that make up the nation. A party of Nashvillians left the first of the week for Washington. They went to witness the inaugural ceremonies. THE PROBLEM BEFORE US. We maintain that every man has a perfect right to his opinion and that every man should have an intelligent opinion concerning matters of interest to himself and problems of importance to his race. He who would deny to his fellowman this right on opinion is unfair, unreasonable and unjust. It is quite popular now for Negro editors in various parts of the country to quarrel with each other and to try to outdo each other in vultuperation and abuse, simply in account of a difference of opinion. It is indeed a sad condition of affairs that the more intelligent and thoughtful men of the Negro race cannot agree upon some sane, concrete and definite plan by which the Negroes' political powers may be used with greatest effectiveness and exerted to the fullest extent for the moral improvement of the race. It appears that the Negro race is divided into two camps, the one hopelessly conservative and the other relentlessly radical. It would be unfortunate indeed if at this critical period of our development, we should forget the great debt we owe the Republican party and be led by ill considered impulse into a party whose entire history is built up upon ac- TENNESSEE'S NEW COMPULSORY LEGALIZED PRIMARY LAW. For the benefit of our readers the Globe Publishing Company has decided to run in the columns of the Nashville Globe in serial form the law recently enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee. The bill was vetoed by Governor Patterson, who prefaced his veto by a special message that will go down in history as one of the ablest documents ever handed down by any chief executive of this great commonwealth. We give the bill to our readers in this form that they may intelligently inform themselves on the new law. We would suggest that you clip the portions of the law that appear and paste them in a booklet form and preserve them for future reference. Central Committee. The members composing a committee provided for by this act shall hold office until their successors are biannually elected or chosen by the succeeding biennial committee, when it shall have been organized into the political body designated in this act. Limits Membership. The committees provided for by this act, and the said State Convention, shall be without the authority, and are prohibited from adding to or increasing their membership, but they shall have, respectively, the power, and exercise it in conformity with the wishes of the party nominee they represent, to appoint campaign committees conferring upon them such authority as may be needful to the exercise of their functions; but the said campaign committees shall be without any voting power. In case of a vacancy, occurring by death, resignation, removal, failure to qualify or from other cause, such committees may respectively fill the vacancy by appointment. Committeemen provided for by this act shall, as soon as practicable, after they are elected or chosen, perfect organization by the election of a Chairman and Secretary, and taking such other steps as may be necessary to the performance of the duties imposed by this act. Convention Delegates. Sec. 6—Be it further enacted, That in the first and biennial preliminaries provided for by this act there shall, from each county in the state, to represent the respective political parties therein in the State Convention hereafter provided for, be elected delegates thereto in the proportion of one delegate for every one hundred or fraction thereof, of fifty votes or over cast in the presidential election next preceding the date of the primary election for the respective candidates for President, but in such convention the delegates then shall not act by proxy, unless the proxy be that of a delegate who has been in actual attendance upon the convention, and for good reason is unable to continue tivities tending to degrade the Negro. We are convinced that the day of the Negro's fullest opportunity has dawned upon him. The chance to prove himself loyal to principle is now before him. It is for him to demonstrate that he is a lover of justice and will stand by and support all advocates of justice in the halls of power. It is now the Negro's privilege to prove himself an important quantity and reliable and potent factor in the body politic. In a word, the Negro in this crisis must prove himself a man. Will he embrace this glorious opportunity? Will he seize and improve this great chance to put himself in the proper light before the World? If the Negro leaders could be induced to cease fighting each other, to avoid vilification and abuse of each other and stand solidly together for what they believe to be right and just without fear very great good might be accomplished in the interest of the future of the Negro race in the United States during the next six months.

BAND CONCERT. ‘The second of a geries of concerts by the North Nashville Indenendent Brass Band was given on Wednesday evening of last week at Jaxkson Tem- ple, Church street, was a decided sue- ress.

Howard Hall, a young Negro boy of Pittsburg, Pa., won the Marathon race Tuesday night in that city from a large field. The race was for the championship of West Virginia Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Negro won by ten laps and at no time was he in danger, leading his field all the way. It is indeed good news to hear that a Negro boy has won such distinction in this branch of athletics, yet it only goes to show that the Negro is keeping pace with the times along all lines and that he is a dangerous competitor at any time. We have said and still say that in time the Negroes will have champions in every branch of sport. They continue to make good at every chance given them and now that the sporting public is calling for high-class men regardless of race or color or previous condition of servitude. The black man will be given a fair chance to show his worth. Go on boys, make good. You have ten million hearts with you. BASKETBALL. The Globe man learned that there was a movement on foot at a certain school in this city to have the A., B. C. Basketball team come to Nashville and play a series of three games. There is no reason why such a game should not be pulled off as the people of Nashville have always been willing to support all clean sports. They have been brought up to the point where they like basketball and consider it a fine indoor game. You have but to see one game and the sport is stamped upon you in such a manner that you will see others. The game is indeed a good one, full of interest at all times. There are no dull moments and each man playing the game is in action all the time. It requires plenty of speed and a vast amount of wind and is one of the best methods of developing the muscles. It is to be hoped that these games will become more frequent and that the public will have a chance to see some teams from the other parts of the country. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1909. HEAR HIM, YE MEN, ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 3:30. (Continued from Page 1.) this time that Mr. Tillman chose to array himself with Senator Foraker. The Negro did not wish such support and felt that any headway which Senator Foraker may have made would be set back one hundred per cent when championed by Benj. Tillman. There is not a Negro in this country who would have made a single protest against the hanging (if it had been necessary) of every member of the 25th Infantry had they been given a trial by court martial or otherwise, found guilty and sentenced. But to dismiss without honor and, too, upon the recommendation of a prejudiced officer, without a trial of any kind, was, to say the least, a little more than the Negro should have been asked to take calmly and without protest. It seems to us that since the War Department sent the soldiers to Texas against the protest of the citizens of Brownsville, it should not have been so hasty in believing the stories told by the same protestants against the soldiers. No undue haste was necessary. If soldiers committed the crime, these soldiers should have been ferreted out and made to suffer for it, in that justice, not only the soldiers, but to the inhabitants of Brownsville as well, might be established and maintained. We take no delight in the evident embarrassment the President is now combatting. Yet we do demand that this muddle be cleared up. The report of Mr. Purdy and Secretary Taft is not convincing to us because the soldiers had no representative present to cross-question the several citizens who were only too glad to testify adversely. We ask, nay, we demand in the name of justice, a congressional investigation which will hear the evidence on both sides and either establish the guilt of the individual soldiers or their innocence. Soldiers who murder have no more right to be turned loose upon the public than a civilian who commits the same crime, and a rattle less haste on the part of the President would have saved himself as well as the Negro from much of the publicity which has been given the affair.—The Kentucky Standard, Jan. 19, 1907, Louisville, Ky. THE DUTY OF THE NEGRO VOTER. This is to be a great and eventful year with the voters of America. SPEAK AT THE Y AUD AT 3:30 ON ERNOON, invited to attend. This will man 800 men in this city. no introduction as his na ON SUNDAY AF Grave problems confront the several States and the Nation, the adjustment of which will very largely depend upon the wise use of the ballot. No graver questions confront any section of the American voters than those which confront the Afro-American voter. We want to instruct the colored voters of Alabama (those who are qualified under the law) to go to the polls at every election and cast your ballot. All the candidates may be Democrats, but that should have nothing to do with your exercising your privilege as a voter. There are some good Democrats and many bad Republicans. If there is only one qualified colored voter in a locality, he should go to the polls and cast his vote on the side of right and justice. Again we want to advise the qualified colored voters of Alabama to attend the Republican Conventions in your county and see to it that such delegates are elected to the State Convention that are opposed to the candidacy of Secretary Taft. We hope that the colored race in Alabama will not be disgraced, humiliated and cursed this year by a set of men in our Conventions who disregard every honor at stake and put "pelf above Principle." Secretary Taft has proved himself an enemy to the black race. When he took to himself the task of scraping up filth, falsehood, and every misrepresentation to prove that the innocent colored soldiers whom he and President Roosevelt had unjustly dismissed "Without Honor" were guilty of the charge of "Shooting of Brownsville;" when he joined President Roosevelt in classing those honorable black soldiers, with a most honorable record, as "Midnight assassins," he then descended to the low levels of the Vardamans and Tillmans and branded himself for all time to come as an unjust official, devoid of every sense of justice and honor. There should not be found one colored man in Alabama who would go into the county, congressional or State Convention and vote or work for the advancement of the Taft interests. With the suffrage laws of the South against us; with Roosevelt and Taft using every opportunity to humiliate and degrade us, what course will the colored voter pursue? So far as every colored voter of the State is concerned, it should be set tled now, that the delegation from Alabama to the Chicago Convention will not be solid for Secretary Taft, and even if Mr. Taft is nominated --- those colored voters who are not willing to vote for the Democratic nominee, should remain away from the polls. God grant that the colored voters of America will deport themselves as me t this year and that the downfall of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft will be certain and complete.—The Colored Alabamian, Feb. 8, 1908, Montgomery, Ala. The Colored Alabamian stands first and last for the election of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker for President of the United States in 1908. He is a man in whom the great qualities of statesman and patriot are happily blended. His acceptance of the endorsement of the Ohio Republican clubs, which has been made public by the letter which he wrote to a representative of the clubs makes him a candidate in the field for the nomination in 1908. The Negro race in America owes Senator Foraker a debt such as they have owed no white man in this country since Lincoln. If the race will stand solid and present a united front m their support of this great man to whom they owe so much, they will force his nomination and aid in his certain election. Will the Negro pay this debt of gratitude? Will he be wise in the use of the power which he has? Will he by the wise use of the ballot assist in the great work of wrestling the reins of the American government out of the hands of those who would oppress and degrade our race, and place them in the hands of men who love justice and who would mete it out to all alike? We are of the opinion that the colored voters of America have an opportunity to do the race a real service, such as they have not had since the race's enfranchisement. We hope that the thousands of educated Negroes throughout Alabama, and the other thousands who own property enough to entitle them to vote will pay their poll taxes and have their names registered so as to be in position to vote in the Presidential election next year. We feel that no greater calamity could come to the Negro race in America than the election of Secretary Taft to the presidency of this country, and that no greater good could come to the country as a whole than the election of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker to the presidency in 1908.—The Colored Alabamian, Dec. 14, 1907, Montgomery, Ala. ```markdown ``` WANTEI COOKS, HOUSE-GIRLS, HOUSE-F-BOYS, WAITERS, DRIVERS, NURSES, Wanting Employment, to Apply to the R.
