THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO A MOST WORTHY SON Nashville's Populace Show Their Appreciation of Editor Battle's Services. CITIZENS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE GROWD FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH TO OVERFLOWING. UNIFORM RANK AND MEMBERS OF PYTHIAN ORDERS OF CITY ESCORT FUNERAL PROCESSION. Floral Designs Numerous and Artistic—Services at Church Simple and Impressive—Streets Thronged With Those Waiting to Get Last Glimpse of Casket of Young Man Who Will Live in the Hearts of His People. Vol. IV. Why do you say this man was great—what claim Has he upon the legacy of fame? "That he was skilled and learned, and combined A generous heart with well-developed mind." What more? "He was a leader; with his pen He swayed the spirits of his fellow-men. A pathway through a nation's wilds he blazed— His stumbling fellows followed, trusted, praised." Tyrants have gained great volumes of applause, And demagogues have won the world's huzzas; But this man had no part in brawl and strife, He led men by the grandeur of his life. A mother's love—can man e'er pay the debt He owes his mother? Few have tried—but yet This man was of the few, and to the last He loved his home, and like a hero passed. Many have won their fellow-men's esteem— He won their love: across the mystic stream Gaze eyes of all who knew him, wet with tears For one who left them in his youthful years. No force or power that Death can employ Can e'er the beauty of his life destroy; Our Father keeps us, and to Him we pray— He giveth, taketh all, in His own way. —Dan Hackley Winston. Last Sunday afternoon between two and three o'clock, the Negroes of Nashville showed as never before that they are an appreciative people. Such a tribute as that paid to the late Joseph O. Battle has never before been seen in this city when it is taken in consideration that he was a very young man and had only been a resident of this city for twelve years. But despite this fact he wrought well, both as a citizen and as a public servant. The funeral procession started from the home on Scovel street a few minutes before 2 o'clock and proceeded west to Eighteenth avenue, thence south to Jackson street, through Jackson street to Seventeenth avenue, where it was joined by Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias and the members of Damon Lodge, No. 2, of which he was a member, and a large number of Knights of other lodges of the city who had volunteered to do honor to the distinguished young man. The procession then continued through Jackson street to Tenth avenue under escort NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1909. of Uniform Rank and the members of local lodges of Knights of Pythias. Through Tenth avenue, to Jo Johnston avenue to Eighth avenue, through Eighth avenue to the First Baptist Church. The streets and avenues through which the procession passed were thronged with people who knew Mr. Battle personally and by reputation, and on all faces could be discerned an expression of deep regret and sympathy. The First Baptist Church was crowded to overflowing, not one-half of the people being able to gain admittance. The floral designs were so numerous that it was impracticable to carry them into the church, and the crowd outside viewed them from the sidewalk and waited patiently until the services were over. The procession was met at the church door by Dr. W. S. Ellington, Dr. R. H. Boyd and Rev. Carter, who proceeded down the aisle immediately in front of the pallbearers. After a song by the choir Rev, Carter led in prayer. Mr. Evans Tyree, Jr., sang. Dr. Ellington read the Scripture. Music by the choir. Dr. Ellington then read the obituary, which was as follows: Joseph Oliver Battle was born in Dalton, Ga., November 9, 1878 and died March 3, 1909, at the age of 30 years. He was the fourth of nine children born to A. T. and Emma Battle, six of whom are still living, as is also their mother. At an early age young Joseph Oliver moved to Chattanooga, Tenn., with his parents, and there he began to build his foundation for a future usefulness. He was for several years a newsboy for the Chattanooga Republican and later for the Chattanooga Daily Times, and made for himself an enviable reputation by his honesty and strict attention to duty. The patrons on his route never had cause to complain of not receiving their papers and were loth to give him up when a promotion to other duties took him off the route. In 1892 young Battle professed a hope in Christ and joined the Shiloh Baptist Church in Chattanooga. He was active in both Sunday-school and church work. He graduated from the Howard High School of Chattanooga in 1896 with high honors, having led all of his classes for six successive years. In 1897 Mr. Battle came to Nashville and secured a position with the National Baptist Publishing Board as errand boy. That institution was then in its incipiency, but Mr. Battle possessed that patience and persistency that ultimately brings success. His promotions came rapidly and in a few years/he had, mastered the art of book binding and was put in charge of that department in the National Baptist Publishing House, which position he held until death claimed his mortal body. In 1905, when the Nashville Globe was established Mr. Battle was unanimously chosen as editor. When the question was put to him by his co-partners he simply said, "I will do the best I can." His record is too well known in that capacity to need DAY OF REJOICING AND PLANNING Board of Directors and Executive Board Meeting. GRAND LODGE ANCIENT FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF TENNESSEE MAKES LAST PAYMENT ON WIDOW AND ORPHAN HOME—GRAND MASTER J. A. HENRY AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE ENTERTAINED AT BREAKFAST BY REV. PRESTON TAYLOR, CHAIRMAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. On last Saturday morning, March 6, 1909, the Board of Directors and Executive committee consisting of the following Masonic Grand Lodge officers and members from various parts of Tennessee met at Rev. Preston Taylor's office, Fourth avenue, North, according to appointment: Prof. J. A. Henry, of Chattanooga, Grand Master; William Porter, Memphis, Deputy Grand Master; W. O. Smith, Knoxville, G. Com.; T. W. Williams, Memphis, G. H. P.; John H. Adams, Nashville, G. Patron; W. T. Hightower, Nashville, Grand Treasurer; W. S. Thompson, Nashville, Grand Secretary; J. H. Kelly, Columbia, Secretary of Endowment; Executive Committee: Rev. Preston Taylor, Nashville, Chairman; W. T. McRae, Clarksville, and Mark Parker, Nashville. Rev, R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and a craftman of the jurisdiction of Texas was also present by invitation and shared in the morning repast. At 8 a. m., Madame Taylor announced breakfast, and the guests followed the host and hostess into their spacious dining-room. The table was suitably decorated with cut flowers and beautiful table ware and covers. A four-course, well prepared breakfast was served. During the service Rev. Taylor told the story of his cautious proceedings from July 4, 1906 the time when the Grand Master first called the trustees of the Grand Lodge to "view the present place from afar," until December 13, 1906 when we closed the deal and made the first payment of $2000 on the $7000 contract. Grand Master Henry told of the secret doubts held by many, as to whether we would be enabled to make the promised four annual payments of $1250 and interest, in proper time and of the encouragement he received wherever the full story of the alms and objects of the Masonic Widow Orphan Home was told. That not so much as one per cent of the lodges had resisted either donating in 1907, or meeting the regular taxation set by the Grand Lodge for 1908, and all time thereafter. Grand Patron Adams told of how enthusiastic the ladies of the chapters O. E. Star, showing the same by liberal contributions reading nearly to $1000, and the action of the last Grand Chapter in deciding to by vote furnish the Home. Grand Treasurer, Hightower told of how the Executive Committee had labored economically to get together all the money possible, and thereafter to make the most economical expenditure of it. That the note and interest December, 1907 was paid on time. The one due December, 1908 was paid June, 1908. The one due December, 1909 was paid July, 1908, and the last note, the one due December, 1910, was paid February, 23, 1909. By this we pay the debt due in four years, in two years, two months and ten days. Dr. R. H. Boyd spoke complimentary of the profitable efforts of the Masons in Tennessee, congratulating them upon the purchase and successful payment for the forty-acre tract of land within so short a time. He felt sure that all people of the city and state whether members of the Order or not would rejoice with the Masons for succeeding in taking this new step. Through courtesy of Rev. Taylor, the eleven members of the board were furnished carriages to the home opposite Greenwood, Park, three miles on the Lebanon road. After inspection of building, grounds and fences, the board assembled in business session. Accounts covering (Continued on page 3.) J. B. FORAKER RETIRES FROM PUBLIC LIFE Ex-Senator Who Championed the Cause of Negro Soldiers Gives up His Seat. SACRIFICED HIS POLITICAL HONORS FOR THOSE WHO WERE BEING OPPRESSED. HE FOUGHT FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE RIGHT. NEGROES LOSING OUT IN WASHINGTON. A Brave and Fearless Champion of Freedom Who Will Live Forever in the Hearts of the People He Defended—Editorial Comment From Negro Press During the Prosecution of the Fight for the Outraged Negro Soldiers. C. The Evening Post has been able to extract a great deal of humor from Senator Foraker's position on the Brownsville affair. His speech at Wilberforce University came in for a big bunch of The Post's buffoonery. Senator Foraker believes as all honorable men believe, that those who take the oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" should live up to their obligation. The Constitution of the United States declares: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and dis EX-SENATOR JOSEPH "Champion of American Rights," tain Constitutional Rights, present trict wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * * and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." Everybody knows the story of the dismissal "without honor" that the accused soldiers had not even so much as a military trial, let alone a "speedy and public trial," in a criminal court. Guilty or innocent, those black soldiers were entitled to their say daring, and stood out against this No.10. "day in court," yet this was denied them. They had no recourse. Demagogic sheets like The Evening Post, in their high-handed manner, prejudged the soldiers' case and this, too, without a thread of evidence save a "conspiracy of silence." To say that the Negroes of this country were dumbfounded at the actions of the Chief Executive in this matter is putting it mildly. When the deep significance of the force of the order had penetrated their dazed minds they stood horror-struck and amazed. Amidst this dire calamity came Senator Foraker, brave, cool, not to I BENSON FORAKER. who made a brilliant fight to sus- ced with a loving cup March 6, 1909. wholesale lynching of Negroes in high places. And because he has dared to declare that even black soldiers who have given years of their service to their country are entitled to a "day in court" he has incurred the very great displeasure of such time-serving sychophants as the Evening Post.—The Kentucky Standard, Louisville, Ky., June 27, 1907.

We have always claimed that Brownsville was no race issue; we have always believed in the honesty and friendship of President Roosevelt for the Negro race, but we have always thought and said that the President's discharge of the entire three companies for the alleged offense of a score of men at best, was summary, hasty, and in short, an executive mis- "DISCHARGED WITHOUT HONOR STATES."

We have never denied the alleged guilt of some of the soldiers, but we have said and still say it is unfair to place the innocent, even soldiers, in the hard and perverted position of establishing their innocence. However, the President's attempt to redress the wrong by reinstating, apparently with back pay, all the innocent, is timely and statesmanlike. We hope that the whole Brownsville business will be dispatched with as little friction and animosity as possible. We believe that full justice will be done.—The New York Age, Dec. 17, 1908, New York.

The speech of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in the senate week before last, in defense of his stand in the Brownsville affray, recalls the days when Sumner electrified the world and struck slavery in its most vulnerable spot, the cause of his subsequent demise. The Ohio senator was well poised; he was calm and deliberate, yet direct in his assault upon his opponents in this notable incident in American history. His speech was a masterpiece of legal argument; a rare literary production, and his presentation of law may be considered the excellence in legal jurisprudence. He was fair, conservative and just, but fearless and as bold as a lion. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1909 Here we may observe the spirit of Sumner, re-embodied in this champion from Ohio. This man has taken a stand for what he conceives to be right, thus exemplifying the highest type of American citizenship.—May 2, 1908. THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY REPUBLICAN RALLY. It has been and is the policy of the Alabamian to contend for the rights of our people and to rightly inform and advise its readers on all matters FROM THE ARMY OF THE UNITED —W. A. R. during the recent discussion of the of public interest, especially as that interest applies to us as a race. The great question which is agitating the American people to day is, who shall be the next President of the United States? There is no class or section of the American people, who compose the great American commonwealth that will be more directly affected by the choice that shall be made than the Afro-Americans. If Secretary Taft is to be nominated and elected, then the race may expect four more years of repression and injustice on a national scale, but with a union of all the forces for justice, fair play and good government, it is possible to defeat him and thus put T BEYOND THE HILLS." and again as an argument to the is dawning for the Negro in every an end to this iniquitous program that has been carried out to the detriment of the African race in America. In order that the true and honest expression of a large, intelligent constituency may not be gagged and turned into unwise channels, to be used to our dishonor and our shame, this call for a great Republican Rally has been issued to the colored Republicans of Montgomery County. This call is issued not only to the registered voters of the county, but to every colored Republican who is thinking on these questions that are so vital to the future of our race. Let the old-time Republican fire be kindled in the breast of every black patriot in the county, and let there be a great outpouring of the thoughtful, race-loving men at the County Court House on Friday night, 8 o'clock, March 27, 1908.—The Colored Ala- --- bamian, March 21, 1908, Montgomery, Ala. FORAKER A MARTYR. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is a hero and martyr to the cause of law and order. He is the only true type of republicanism, defending and asking a fair and impartial trial of those Negro troops at Brownsville. His manly courage, gentlemanship and Christian heart, pure as the whitest linen, only asked that Congress would deal fair and just with those Negroes, but seemingly to save the President, even after he had at a great expense secured secret service men with all former official testimonies, no clue as yet has condemned or found those troops guilty, other than the President. The South, in no court would have convicted them without true facts and when the great head of the United States government does an injustice to its subjects, what may one expect of some commonwealth? Those troops were not wanted at Brownsville, yet the President ordered them there and should have given them a fair trial. Who knows but that some Mexicans shot up Brownsville? Negroes have not yet learned to do and keep secrets, and of the entire body of troops some would have told the story but the case has been thoroughly sifted and the world is no wiser to-day than yesterday. Bad! bad! for liberty-loving America. Senator J. B. Forker, of Ohio, is a martyr to the cause and defense of the Negro for justice. Let the name of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker ever live in every Negro's heart, and let the same be handed down to all future generations, and when he is dead let us rear to his memory a monument that will instil Foraker into the lives of generations to come.—Negro World, January, 1909. Carey, Miss. It is pretty clear to students of political movements in this country that the Brownsville episode has been greatly exaggerated by enthusiasts on one side and by defenders of errors on the other and has been used by politicians as a trick to do injustice to the Negro race. It is perfectly clear, furthermore, that this Brownsville episode has demonstrated, first that President Roosevelt is not a man who will admit openly that he has made a mistake; that he was guided by impulse; that he was hasty and exerted inaccurate judgment. On the other hand, it has demonstrated that the Negro has very few friends or sympathizers in the Senate or in the House Representatives and that it behooves the Negro voter to act cautiously in the matter of expressing his preferences or pledging his support to proposed candidates to be selected at the Chicago Convention. If the Negro voter is not wise, if he refuses to use good judgment, he will, in this crisis, find himself after the next presidential election left out in the cold without a Party upon whom he may depend and with very few true friends or sympathizers in either branch of Congress. We sincerely hope that our men will not choose to be guided by ill-directed emotions rather than by plain commonsense. It is sometimes well to hesitate before boarding the band wagon, to note the sort of company with which you are to ride and when you find that your best friends, your sanest counsellors are getting aboard and taking comfortable seats, it is a good thing, in our judgment, to risk our future with such company rather than be left by the roadside alone. President Roosevelt's act in discharging the Negro soldiers at Brownsville was an impulsive act; we agree; but impulsive acts resisted and bitterly opposed by impulsive acts, usually lead to acts of a worse character.

(Continued from Page One.) comment here. He was a man of clear convictions and expressed his views on public matters in a manly way. He edited that paper for three years and the assertion is ventured here that no one can be found to-day who would express augh against him. He was loved by all who knew him and admired by thousands who have read after him. He was a member of Damon Lodge No. 2, Knights of Pythias. His brethren of that fraternity were not slow to recognize his worth, and honored him with every position in the Lodge from the least to the greatest. He was on several occasions elected to represent his constituents in the State Grand Lodge and always acquitted himself in a way satisfactory to his brethren. At the time of his death he was filling the position of Master of Finance in his lodge. When his health began to fail him and he was forced to relinquish his duty at the National Baptist Publishing House and as editor of the Nashville Globe, the people with one accord sent up their petition to God to lengthen his career on earth; but he had done his work well and the time for reaping had come. Relatives and friends persuaded him to take a trip to Texas, but the balmy air of the famous resorts there failed to restore what hard labor had destroyed. So Mr. Battle returned home to that mother he loved so dearly and to his relatives and friends. He reached home very weak, but full of hope and courage, and on last Monday at his earnest solicitation he was carried to Tullahoma, Tenn., His mother and a few friends accompanied him there and made him as comfortable as possible. On Tuesday morning he asked his mother to return home that she might be with his sister, who was also sick. He said to her, "Mother, you all are worrying about me too much. I am all right. You go home and look after Willie." On Tuesday evening he heard the sound of the train whistle and said to the nurse "That train is late, is it possible, I must wait another twenty-four hours?" and then turning again to his nurse, he said, "I wish you were as warm and comfortable as I am. Go, lie down and rest yourself. I am all right." On Wednesday morning he did not seem to be doing so well and Mrs. Emeline Brown, with whom he was stopping, telephoned to Nashville and his younger brother, Frank, left on the first train. When he reached his bedside Mr. Battle rallied and talked to his brother freely. When asked if he wanted anything he ex-pressed a desire for a glass of milk which he drank heartily and talked freely to his brother. He said to him "I am all right now, I am going to sleep," and five minutes to the time he spoke of the train on the previous evening he went to sleep and his soul took its flight. His last motion was to wave his hand. His mother has lost a son who loved her and cared for her. She was always first in his considerations. His young sisters have lost a brother who was also to them a father, and his brothers have lost a counsellor and a guide. The community has lost a citizen of the first rank and the Negro race has lost a champion of justice. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Emma Battle, three brothers, John Wilson, James Iverson and Julius Frank; three sisters, Mrs. Nellie Grace Easterling, Willie Emma and Eleanor Alfretta Battle, and a grandmother, Mrs. Fannie Morris, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Mrs. D. A. Hart sang "Face to Face." Dr. Ellington briefly reviewed the life of Mr. Battle in a general way, stating that the was a model young man, that the life he had lived was worthy of emulation. He spoke of the heroic efforts Mr. Battle exerted to ward off the disease that he knew was making inroads on his health; how he ventured to take the long journey to Texas all alone. Dr. Ellington painted a beautiful picture of the life of Editor Battle, which could be attested by the great throng. At the conclusion of the sermon Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, who has been intimately associated with Mr. Battle for a number of years, spoke of his record in a very complimentary way. At the conclusion of the services the audience were permitted to view the remains. Those in the church were instructed to continue on outside as they passed around, that those on the outside might have an opportunity to come in as they went out. It took several minutes for the large concourse of people on the inside and outside of the church to pass in and out, but every one who desired was permitted to take a last look at the remains of a brave young man who spent his life in the interest of humanity. The Uniform Rank and members of the Pythian Lodges accompanied the procession to Demonbreun street and Fifth avenue, South, where they broke ranks. The remains were conveyed to Greenwood Cemetery and placed in its resting place. The ceremony at the grave was very simple but impressive. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful.

A. Hart, President. On January the 12th, 1906, The Nashville Globe made its appearance. It came into existence at a time when the Negroes' condition in this particular vicinity was in a need of a medium through which to fight his battles. The organization was perfected in a simple way and can be told in a few words. Mr. H. A. Boyd and the writer decided to start a paper. After we decided to do so the next proposition that confronted us was who could be found competent to edit the paper and willing to make the sacrifice we had had concluded would have to be made. After several days the thought dawned upon me that it might be possible to interest Mr. Battle, and so I stated to my colleague Mr. H. A. Boyd. He suggested that I speak to him about the matter, which I did and he, Mr. Battle, gave his consent. I then said to my colleagues, Boyd and Battle: "We are all young men would it not be advisable to try an experienced man?" The agreed with me. I suggested Mr. Chas. H. Burrill. Again the task to approach him was imposed upon me. I went and he, too, consented. The four named parties established the Nashville Globe three years ago, and they have published it continuously to this time. One of our number has been taken by the hand of death, and I am frank to admit that the loss is irreparable, but the three of us remaining, Burrill, Boyd and Hart, will continue the publication of the Globe, and shall do our best to maintain the high standard our departed colleague la bored so hard to help us set up. FUNERAL OF MISS WILLIE EMMA BATTLE. Willie Emma Battle, sister of the late Joseph O. Battle, who was laid to rest last Sunday, was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., February 4, 1889. Died March 9, 3:20 a.m., at the age of 20 years, 1 month and 5 days. She accepted Christ in October, 1900, in Chattanooga. In June, 1901, she united with the First Baptist Church, Nashville, and was baptized. She lived a faithful and consistent Christian, active in the Sunday-school and church services, as long as her health would permit. In March, 1905, she was taken sick and since that time had been almost a constant sufferer and bore it with patience until Tuesday morning 3:20 o'clock, when she was relieved by the Angel of Death. During her illness she was always hopeful and had great trust and confidence in God. She did not complain, but would answer when asked how she felt, "I am all right." She leaves a mother, grandmother, two sisters and three brothers and a large number of sorrowing friends. NATIONAL ORGANIZER MR. CHAS H. MOORE IN THE CITY. H. MOORE IN THE CITY. Mr. Chas. H. Moore, of Greensboro, N. C., National Organizer of the National Negro Business League, has been in the city since Wednesday. Mr. Moore is making a tour of this state and thus far has succeeded in organizing several local leagues and it is thought a state league will soon be established in Tennessee. Mr. Moore has only covered the eastern and a portion of the central section, but to date he reports fourteen local leagues in the territory covered as follows: Nashville has two; Chattanooga, Bristol and Harriman had local leagues; at the following places they were organized: Cleveland, Knoxville, Johnson City, Greenville, Athens, Shelbyville, Murfreesboro, Franklin and Columbia. Mr. Moore met the local business league on Wednesday. Only a few were present.

Hynes have returned to the city after having been away for six months. Prof. Hynes will not exhibit in the city until after the revivals close at the different churches, but will fill some special engagements in the following towns: he will be in Franklin Monday and Tuesday of next week and Brentwood Friday and Saturday of this week. DAY OF REJOICING AND PLANNING. (Continued from Page One.) two and one-half years transactions, $8500 were submitted by Grand Treasurer Hightower. This included the $7000 paid for the place. Special mention was made of Houston Lust, of Knoxville, not a member of the Order, who voluntarily has contributed $1.00 per month for twenty-six months. Contracts will be let for fencing the entire premises, building front porch one and one-half stories and fifty-six feet long, replastering the halls and rooms and generally overhauling all the small buildings and the stable so that every building and the garden and field will look the best when the Grand Lodge meets here in June next. A committee of ladies of O. E. S. appeared before the Board and explained the results of visitations they had made to several orphanages and charitable homes in and about this city. This committee consisted of Mesdames Carter, Adams, Ewing, Hightower, Parker, Wood and Cheatham. Their particular purpose was to give the Board an idea of the arrangement, furnishing, managing and regulations necessary for the Home. The Board was very much helped by the information gotten and unanimously voted thanks to the ladies for their visitations and assistance. At 1:00 p. m. dinner was served to the Board by these ladies, they having arranged tables in the suite of rooms on the first floor. East. After dinner, the Board repaired to Greenwood Park to the extreme South side where stands a large persimmon tree, under which the first meeting was held on July 4, 1906 to consider the purchase of the present place for the Home. A picture of the group under this tree was taken, and after this another picture was taken of the Board and ladies of the Star grouped in front of the main building of the home. The afternoon session was devoted to consideration of plans for the dedication of the home in June, 1909, and its occupancy immediately thereafter. Distinguished Masons from other states will be invited and many visiting commanderies are expected. A committee to arrange and publish a program for the occasion has been appointed and in every way this Grand Lodge session will be the most important and largest attendance ever had. 4 The Nashville Globe.

JOSEPH O. BATTLE. The passing of Joseph O. Battle, who died Wednesday of last week, was the ending of the life of a young man who gave promise of a useful and successful career for many years to come. Although young in years, he had filled them with commendable service to himself and to his fellowmen. His death is a severe loss to the community which held him in high esteem. He proved his worth and the people recognized and appreciated it. Mr. Battle, at the time of his death, was editor of this publication, although, owing to the condition of his health, he had not done any active editorial york for several months. As an editorial writer he was strong, pointed and logical; and though possessing these essential and effective traits, he was nevertheless eminently conservative. His forceful diction and clear cut statement of facts or his argumentation left no doubt in the mind of the reader as to his opinion or position with reference to any matter or subject under discussion. From a human point of view his taking off, just as he was entering upon what seemed to give promise of a brilliant and successful journalistic career, seems unfortunate and premature. However this may be, there is consolation in the fact that he met the issues and tasks of life as a fearless, manly man. He did his work without blasting his own trumpet; yet so well did he accomplish it that others felt and feel free to sound his praise. His was a personality that commanded respect without asserting its claim. In short, he was a manly man devoid of undue flattery or sycophancy. Mr. Battle's life's work is ended, yet so acceptably did he perform his part in trying to make conditions better for his people that his memory is safe in their keeping. They will ever remember him as a tower of intellectual strength who labored for their general uplift and betterment. Death at all times is a solemn condition and comes soon or late to all. None can escape final dissolution—it is the fiat of God. We remark the passing of our friend. That is becoming, and evidences the finer traits of our nature, that fellow-feeling that should ever exist between man and man. His voice has been hushed in the councils of his people; his versatile mind will no longer guide his trench ant pen; his form will be seen no more among his fellows, but will ever be effectionately remembered by all who knew him, that straightforward, manly man—Joseph Oliver Battle. GENERAL EDUCATIONAL BILL. The following is a brief financial analysis of the education bill which was THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 12. 1909 passed in the house Friday by a vote of 68 to 19. This is believed to be one of the most advanced steps educationally the State has taken in years, and its passage by the Senate is awaited with great interest by the friends of education. The analysis gives the provisions of the bill as amended in the Finance, Ways and Means Committee of the House, made on basis of present revenues. If revenues increase or decrease, these figures increase or decrease in ratio of 1 to 4: 25 per cent of gross revenue...$900,000 Appropriation for last year... 692,000 Excess of 25 per cent over last year ..... $208,000 61 pct. for per capita distribution ..... $549,000 10 per cent for weak counties. 90,000 1 per cent for public school libraries ..... 9,000 Total direct for common schools ..... $648,000 Annual average reversion of High School fund ..... $ 25,000 Grand total for common schools ..... $773,000 Common schools last year..... $632,000 Increase for common schools..$ 41,000 8 per cent for public high schools ..... $ 72,000 Of which an average of $25,000 for each of next two years will revert to common schools. 13 per cent for normal schools ..... $117,000 One-seventh of this for industrial normal schools for Negroes ..... 16,700 For three white normal schools ..... 100,700 Or for each white normal school ..... 33,430 7 per cent for University of Tennessee and its stations ..... 63,000 Less for West Tennessee Experiment Station ..... 10,000 Less for Middle Tennessee Cooperative Experiments ..... 5,000 Less 3 per cent traveling expenses Middle and West Tennessee students ..... 3,150 $ 18,150 Net amount for university It can be seen by a study of the above array of figures that $16,700 have been provided or set aside for industrial and normal schools for Negroes. For three white normal schools $33,430 each. All of the Negro industrial and normal schools get about half as much as one of the white normal schools. Is the old saying true that half of a loaf is better than no loaf at all? Will it be proper to call upon the Negro people of Tennessee and exhort them to rejoice and be exceeding glad for this generous half of a loaf? We know you pay taxes, and ample taxes, too, on property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also divine your feeling concerning this half of a loaf. Murmur not nor complain, push ahead, all will come right by and by. We have got to fight out our educational battle. Let us make up our minds to do so, whether the state makes any appropriation for that purpose or not. With such a conclusion formed and backed up by a firm determination we will be prepared to meet difficulties and win. IS IT TRUE? It is reported that Jack Johnson has married a woman who is not a member of his people. If that report is true, then Jack Johnson is wrong, entirely wrong, and that point of order is raised and sustained by every sensible and self-respecting Negro of this country. Johnson was born and reared in the South, where his relatives still reside, and if he could not find a woman of his race suitable for a wife, then he ought to have died an anchoret. If the persistently circulated report of his marriage is true, he has made a fatal mistake and subjected himself to the just contempt of every member of his race. If it is true, he stands before that awful and dread bar, public opinion, a defendant without defense. Samson married Delilah and was destroyed and Jack Johnson may look well to his safety. Delilah married Samson for a specific purpose and thereby hangs a tale that Johnson would do well to ponder or ruminate upon. The Negro, be he high or lowly, who seeks to leave his race is a fawning, cringing, worthless rascal, and, without whitewashing it, no respectable Negro has the least patience with him. Out of the hundred of thousands, yea, millions of honorable intelligent Negro womanhood any male member of the race can find a worthy and congenial companion. If he pretends that he can not, he absolutely and unequivocally lies, and deserves a fate worse than that which befell Robinson Crusoe. Alabama, the "Here We Rest State," is to the fore with one like this: A man was killed and the evidence against the two Negroes charged with the deed was too insufficient for the grand jury of the county to find an indictment, but the men had to be spirited away to prevent their being lynched by an "orderly mob" or the "best citizens." They were put in jail for protection in a distant town until they could be safely released. That is Alabama justice with a vengeance. The state should feel eminently proud of itself. Our ex-President will ere long be gazing the fierce Numidian lion in the eye. Will it require a toss-up to decide which will blink first to be destroyed by the other? When you think of it, there is an element of danger lurking in those African jungles for the mighty American Nimrod. We hope for President Taft a successful administration. But he has tackled the hardest job of his whole career. If he succeeds in winning Tennessee or Georgia, that is, if he breaks into Dixie anywhere he will be the "greatest Roman of them all." Another banking institution is upon the brink of being born or established in this city The more, the merrier, and we jest not. There is plenty of room for two such institutions. FISK CLUB One of the most largely attended and interesting meetings of the Fisk Club was held with Mrs. F. A. Stewart, of 215 Eighth avenue, North, on Friday afternoon, February 26th. Plans were discussed relative to a proposed entertainment for the raising of funds to help towards the "Mile of Pennies" that must be had by June. The local alumni and members of the Club are working earnestly to raise as many feet of the mile as possible, and from expressions on the part of many the coveted amount will be raised by that time. It was a Longfellow meeting, and the members answered to roll call with quotations from Longfellow. After the business was over the following program was listened to with much interest and pleasure: Piano Solo,..... Miss Laura Stump Prayer..... Miss Elizabeth B. Moore Vocal Solo—"The Bridge"..... ..... Miss Lillian A. Bright Paper—Life and Works of H. W. Longfellow..... Mrs. J. R. Levy Piano Solo..... Miss Jennifer Lee Noel Reading—"Hiwatha's Wooing"..... ..... Miss Esther J. Pinkard Current Events..... Mrs. C. W. Brown Vocal Solo..... Miss Flora F. Wright The Stewart home never presented a more lovely picture than was seen when, at the close of the program, the guests were all seated in the parlor, halls and dining-room. A most elaborate and appetizing menu of two courses was served by Mrs. Stewart, assisted by Mrs. Nellie Moore, Mrs. H. T. Noel, Misses Lady Emma Louise Phillips and Miss Jennie Lee Noel. The following guests and club members were present: Mesdames W. O. Tate, H. T. Noel, H. H. Wright, Nellie Moore, J. R. Levy, A. J. Bright, C. H. Phillips, P. R. Burrus, Susan M. Lowe, C. W. Brown, F. A. Stewart, Misses E. J. Terry, Mary Kane Hill, Flora T. Wright, Willa H. McBroome, Matha C. Grisham, Jennie Lee Noel, Laura Stump, Lady Emma Louise Phillips, Lucy Phillips, Charlotte Phillips, Lillian A. Bright Lillian A. Banks, Fannie Banks, Esther J. Pinkard, Hattie E. Caruthers, Elizabeth B. Moore, Janie E. Ben son, Olive J. Lischey, Minnie Mai Hunter, Lucy B. White, Prof Dora A. Scribner, Annie Louise Stewart, F. A. Stewart, Jr., and Dr F. A. Stewart. The next meeting of the club will be with Miss Laura Stump of Twelfth avenue, North, on the afternoon of Friday, March 12th, at 3:30 o'clock. ANNUAL BANQUET The Ladies' Extension Society gave their annual banquet recently at the residence of Mrs. T. W. Hightower, 41 Lewis street. The Society was seven years old, and the report of Miss Elizabeth Dickerson, the secretary, speaks well for the ladies under the management of Madame E. C. Coffey. Little Miss Mary T. Ewing kept the register and Miss M. B. Topp, who acted as mistress of ceremonies in the absence of Mrs. Wm. Rose. Quite a lengthy programme was rendered as follows: Instrumental Solo—Miss Brucie M Ewing. Vocal Solo—Miss Pierce, Walden. Instrumental Solo—Miss Hightower. Remarks were made by the following: Rev. A. Brooks, Mr. Thos. Davis; L. D. Stewart. Vocal solo, Mrs. Zachery. The following persons were called on by the President to say a few words concerning the work of the Society: Mr. Hightower, Mrs. Sterling Lofton, Mrs. Annie Cole Perkins, of Chicago. A violin solo was beautifully rendered by Hunter, of Walden. After the programme the guests were ushered into the spacious Hightower dining-hall and there served with the season's dainties. The host and hostess made the Society, with its guests, all feel the cordial welcome which they extended. The Society doors stand open for new members at any time. MISSISSIPPI IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION. Mr. Chas Banks of Mound Bayou, Gives Good Account. Tells of their Rise of Progress—Eleven Active Institutions Now in Operation. In summarizing the economic progress of the Negro in Mississippi during the past ten years, that made in banking comes in for no inconsiderable part. Beginning with the Lincoln Savings Bank, which was formerly the Knights of Honor Bank, about eight years ago, Negro banks have steadily grown in number until, today, we have eleven live active, prosperous, progressive banking institutions dotted over the state. At Vicksburg we have the Lincoln Savings Bank, under the management of W. E. Mollison, with resources over $60,000.00, and the Union Savings Bank, managed by T. G. Ewing, resources over $60,000.00; at Indianola is the Delta Penny Savings Bank, directed by W. W. Cox, resources over $100,000.00; at Jackson is the American Savings Bank and Trust Company, managed by Dr. S. D. Redmond, resources over $60,000.00; and the Southern Bank, under the direction of L. K. Atwood, resources over $60,000.00; at Yazoo City is the People's Savings Bank, managed by H. H. King, resources over $40,000.00; at Columbus is the Penny Savings Bank, managed by W. I. Mitchell, resources $25,000.00; at Mound Bayou is the Bank of Mound Bayou, under the management of the writer, resources over $100,000.00; at Natchez is the Bluff City Savings Bank, under the direction of Dr. J. B. Banks, resources over $50,000.00; at Greenville is the Delta Savings Bank, under the management of John W. Strauther, resources over $25,000.00; at Hattiesburg is the Magic City Savings Bank, organized during the past year, under the management of Dr. J. H. Howard, resources over $15,000.00, this being, in fact, the recognized People's Bank of Hattiesburg, which went into voluntary liquidation after the assassination of its founder and cashier, the late E. D. Howell. It may be well here to state that the retiring bank paid all of its depositors in full; in fact, there has never been a real bank failure on the part of Negro banks in Mississippi since their existence. During the panic of 1907, so far as I have been able to learn, and I am stockholder in nearly all of them, only two banks suspended specie payment, and no one was seriously embarrassed, emerging from that trying period stronger and more trusted that before. While enjoying the confidence and patronage of their own people, it is a note worthy fact that the Negro banks of this state have the confidence, respect and good will of the white bankers, especially their neighbors. In most cases the Negro bank clears thro' the white banks in the same town, using it largely as a correspondent. In this way it develops that the existence of the Negro banks in towns where there are also white banks, instead of being hurtful from any view point whatever, are mutually beneficial. Negroes, who other wise would not be reached and induced to save, but for the existence influence, and education of Negro banks, are made depositors in Negro banks, in turn, by using the local white banks as depositories and cor respondents, bring into the channels of commerce funds that, but for them would not be available. Of course the Negro banker does not pursue this policy for mere conciliation. The policy is in line with that of all small banks be they white or black, to use large ones as correspondents and depositories, as well as to clear through them because of the advantage and facilities always had by a larger institution, both as to safety and making par points; but in the operation of the whole it is clearly demonstrated that the prosperity of the Negro banker, as well as in other fields of endeavor, instead of being a menace to the Mississippi white man, is really and substantially beneficial to him also. I hardly think I would overdraw the facts if I should state that there is now deposited in white banks in Mississippi by Negro banks one quarter of a million dollars, and this can be safely counted on as the average daily balance maintained at least eight months in the year. Nor are the benefits following the rise and progress of Negro banks confined to this State alone, for nearly every one maintains a balance with correspondents in financial centers like New York. St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans, upon which they draw bills of exchange, and with whom they rediscount as occasions require; and right here let me state, in justice to the white banker, both of this State and in the financial centers named, that no discrimination is made against the Negro banker when it comes to granting him lines of credit, but they invariably grant him credit based mainly on the average daily balance maintained and business ability. If you ask have we passed the experimental stage as bankers here, I answer yes in a measure, we have. Of course, unlike our white bankers, we have to use raw material as bankers. We have had no presidents and cashiers, not even book-keepers and tellers, who took hold of the active management of our banks after long years of practical training and experience in some well established banking institution, but have had to feel our way along, and "read while we ran." The recent panic and its subsequent effects were, in a measure, calculated to test the stability and management of banking institutions. Be it said to the credit of the Negro banker in Mississippi when the mists had cleared away, not one was found swept away. Perhaps the following table will serve to indicate the progress being made: In 1904 they had resources of $50,000.00; in 1905, $95,000.00; in 1906, $140,000.00; in 1907, $360,000.00; and in 1908 $750,000.00. From the table we can safely predict that 1909 will find us way above the million dollar mark. Another statement I desire to make, without any comment whatever, is that all these banks, save two, were chartered by Ex-Governor Vardaman. The showing made by the banks does not take into account that of the fraternal organizations in the State, which because of their singular fitness for supplying life insurance to to many who are barred by the large Life Insurance Companies, are quite popular as well as helpful in the State. These organizations, notably among which are the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and Knights of Tabor, carry a reserve fund of about one quarter of a million dollars to beneficiaries of deceased members. In most cases, the persons managing the banks of our State are of high moral character, with some personal means and fair business ability. As stated above, it is not possible for us to draw from a stock of men who have had years of training in banking, perhaps working up from a runner to president, as is the case with our white friends, but all things being considered, the management and conduct generally of the institutions are creditable. Judging by what Negro banks have accomplished in this State in the past few years and their status at the present time, we can confidently look forward to greater things by them in the financial world in the next decade.

Miss S. Brown was on hand and gladdened our hearts with a beautiful solo. The Wednesday afternoon prayer service are especially helpful. On last Wednesday Brothers Penn and Wilson, of the Pentecostal Mission were present. Rev. Penn gave a powerful sermon on consideration. All were greatly benefited and felt at the close that it was good to have been there. The Workers' Conference held at Paynes' Chapel was quite a success. The subject was discussed with much interest, by many present. Rev. Flagg pastor took an active part in the meeting. Miss E. B. Delaney passed through Saturday en route to Newark, N. J. to fill engagements in the interest of her work. Owing to illness she was prevented from making the trip as intended several days ago. This also made her stay in our home very brief.

The Young Men's Brass Band gave an entertainment at Buck's Hall last Monday night and a large crowd was present. Mr. Crawford Farley, of Chicago, formerly of this place, is now in the city. The concert given at Wesley Chapel C. M. E. Church Monday night by Mr. H. B. Britt, of Louisville, and a goodly number of the local talent, attracted quite a discriminating audience which taxed the capacity of that spacious auditorium. Mr. Britt is a talented singer heretofore unknown to a Clarksville audience, but became quite a favorite from the first notes rendered. The program was a combination of readings and songs, some the very latest, some old and others of an ancient variety, but all in all the renditions were capitally given and heartily appreciated.

Olive Baptist Sun- day-school gave a social at the resi- dence of Mrs, Ferguson, of Jackson street. A large number came through the inclement weather to enjoy the evening. The house was_ brilliantly lighted for the occasion, Those pres ent were entertained by speeches along the lines of Sunday-school work from Mr. John Ridley, Mr, Burt Stan- ley and the — superintendent, Mr. James E, Hurt, from which much val- uable information was obtained. These socials are given from time to time in order to bring the officers and teachers in closer touch with each other, and are doing great good along this line. An elaborate menu of several courses was served. a geenies LECTURE AT ST. PAUL. Mr. Charles Stewart, the great newspaper correspondent, delivered a most instructive lecture to women in the auditorium of St. Paul A. M. BE. Church Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Mrs. W. Sampson Brooks, after a song and prayer, intro- duced the speaker. Mr. Stewart was at his best and about 200 women listened to a plain, common-sense dis- cussion of what might be fittingly termed “A plea for Our Race.” He made an especial plea to the mothers present to throw around the young boys and girls more protection by teaching them the law of purity. A fitting climax to the lecture was a re- cital protraying the life here and hereafter of a fallen man and woman. At the close of the lecture a liberal collection was lifted by Mrs. Evans Tyre and Mrs, Grant. ee Dies OF THE ADVANCED AGE OF ‘ 103 YEARS. Aunt Millie Johnson died March 3 at the advanced age of 103 years old. She was probably the oldest _ per- son living in Lake Providence. She leaves a daughter, Sophia Johnson, Peck, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Johnson was a mem: ber of the church at Lake Providence for forty years, and a member of the Benevolent Order for a number of years, being a chariered member. SPORT. THE INTERCOLLEGIATE BASE. BALL LEAGUE OF NASHVILLE. Purpose—Its purpose, as specified in the constitution “shall be the regula- tion and supervision of baseball in the city of Nashville in order that the baseball activities in the colleges, universities and high school in the city of Nashville may be maintained on an ethical plan in keeping with the dignity and high purpose of edu- cation.” The athletic coaches and the business managers of Roger Wil- liams, Walden and Fisk Universities and Pearl High School met and or- ganized the league at the suggestion of Mr. Burrell, the Walden Business Manager. The atheletic associations of the several schools having dele- gated the authority, this group of men became the Board of Control and ar ranged the following schedule: Mar. 20—Pearl and Fisk; Roger Williams and Walden. Mar. 27—Fisk and Roger Wiliams; Pearl and Walden, Apr. 3—Walden and Fisk; Pearl and Roger Williams. Apr. 10—Pearl and Walden; Roger Williams and Fisk. Apr. 17—Pearl and Roger Williams; Fisk and Walden. Apr. 24—Walden and Roger Wil- liams; Pearl and Fisk. At the conclusion of the champion- ship each year a silk pennant will be awarded as a trophy. The league elected the following officers: Prof. Faulkner, Walden, President; Prof. Jackson, of Roger Williams, Vice- President; Prof. Washington, of Pearl High, Treasurer; Prof. Giles, of Fisk, Secretary. Let us hope that with this effort on the part of the various schools, their managers and coaches, the dead corpse of amateur_baseball enthusiasm will stand up on his feet like a man and demand his rightful place in the athletic activities of our scholastic athletes, There will be “something doing” when the re-in- stated giant unfurls the first streamer of green and red over the winning ‘team, BOXING. The bill passed several days ago in the Legislature to the effect that boxing exhibitions of eight rounds could be held in Tennessee has met with hearty approval. And there is already tall among the colored popu- lation that Suh exhibitions’ will be pulled off in Nashville in the near fu- ture: The sporting public of this city is alive to every movement and is only waiting for an opportunity to show how much it will appreciate such a chance. The National Athletic Association, a local organization that has been running for five or six years is considering putting on such ex. hibitions. In a conference with the Globe man the President said he had long wanted to push this branch of athletics, and that as the lid was now off, he was going to entertain the members of his club and that he would also give the public a chance to see something of the game. The assovi- ation has several hundred members. At a recent meeting they all seemed willing to foster such a cause pro: vided they can ‘get assurance of the proper support. Come on with your boxing exhibitions. The sports will come out to see them at every chance. JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES. ‘The sport writers all over the coun- try have been wanting some kind of a statement from Jim Jeffries about fighting Jack Johnson. It stems as though they have at last run him in a corner and he has come out with a statementthat, “If I can get in pro- per condition I will fight Johnson,” Now, we hope Mr. Jeffries can get in condition and that he will be in his best form when he meets the Negro. And then let them go in and fight a finish fight. That will settle once for all who is the better man. All kinds of remarks have been made abont what big Jim could do to the smoke. One fellow said, “One punch from Jeff and groddy Mister Johnson.” Well, the fight fans are not so sure about that, and they are willing to pay a fancy sum to see Mr. Jeffries deliver that one punch. Bill Curtis seems to think Jeffries will have the time of his life in delivering the punch that will send Mr. Johnson down and out All the oldtimers remember what was predicted when the famous John 1 and the nimble Corbett were to meet in their never-to-be-forgoten battle. Everyone said that when Sullivan hit him it would be all over, but the trou: ble came from the fact that Sullivan could not hit Corbett. And when he was able to find him he had been sc worried down until his. blows lacke¢ the putting to sleep effect. It has been shown that Jeffries i; a fighter on the Sullivan order witt just a little more science. Whilk pink and gren. In the center of thé Johnson has Corbett skinned to death |in science and along with that he ha: a punch in either hand that woul make old Bob Fitzsimmons blush ‘We should now let these two fighter: ‘Credit at the Qua i redit at the Quatity Store a EQUAL TO TAILOR-MADE Heh Most people find it hard to get together at ore (VA \ time the price of fist-class clothing.

It is well known that all this talk about the fight has placed Mr. Jeffries in a position to pick up a goodly amount of cash from the the- ater people. Well gocd for Mr. Jef- fries; he shows his business ability in that move. , Let him pull in all he can and then when he has finished maybe he will be in condition to take on Mr. Black Man. For as he says he will be popular until some one hits him a wallop on the jaw, and he takes the count. Then, goodby Jeffries. Let us hope that in a short while we will know who is in reality the better fighter. eee MARRIAGES. Alexander J. Kittrell and Oglena Lockett. Walter H.
