THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. MUST ANSWER SHERIFF JOSEPH H. SHIPP AND GO-DEFENDANTS. Ordered Before the Bar In Washington. SUPREME COURT AT LAST REACHES A CONCLUSION WILL NOT BE HUMILIATED BY COUNTY SHERIFFS—DEATH OF ED. JOHNSON TO BE VINDICATED—CASE WILL BE HEARD NOVEMBER 15 — ONE OF DEFENDANTS SEVENTY YEARS OLD—SECOND CASE OF CONTEMPT OF SUPREME COURT OF THIS COUNTRY—SHIPP THINKS "IT'S PRETTY TOUGH." Washington, Nov. 1—The unusual proceeding of an arraignment for sentence at the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States will be witnessed two weeks from to-day, in accordance with an announcement made in the cases of Joseph H. Shipp, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and five codefendants, charged with contempt. The court today denied motions for a rehearing of the cases. The cases originated in the court's deciding March, 1906, to consider the appeal of Ed Johnson from a verdict of the Tennessee courts, holding him guilty and sentencing him to be hanged on a charge of criminal assault. The night after the determination of the Supreme Court to review the proceedings in the case was wired to Chattanooga, where Johnson was confined in jail, a mob stormed the jail and took him out and lynched him. The court was much incensed over the lynching, and at its instance the Attorney General instituted proceedings against Shipp, who was the Sheriff, and the jailer and twenty-five others, supposed to have been implicated in the lynching, charging them with contempt of the Supreme Court. Many of the accused were exonerated and in the end only six were found guilty. These were Sheriff Shipp, his deputy Jeremiah Gibson, who was the jailer, Luther Williams, Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and Williams Mayes, residents of Chattanooga. The finding of the court was announced in May just before the close of the last term, but all the defendants entered motions for a rehearing, which had the effect of postponing action until the present term. The court today, through Chief Justice Fuller, announced its denial of the motions the Chief Justice stating at the same time the decision to have the defendants appear on Nov. 15 to receive sentence. It will be the duty of Marshal Wright to present the men in court, but he said to-day that he expected all of them to appear to hear the court's verdict, which would relieve him of the necessity of going to Chattanooga after them. The court has the discretion either to fine or to imprison the men or to inflict both penalties. It is only known that from the beginning of the proceedings the court has appeared exceptionally interested in the case, and is believed to feel that an example must be made to prevent other indignities to the court. It is recalled, however, that several of the members of the court, among whom was the late Justice Peckham, dissented from the verdict of the majority. The only sentence for contempt in the court's history occurred in 1875, when one John Chiles, who was concerned in dealings in Texas indemnity bonds, contrary to the order of the court, was ordered to pay a fine of $250 for contempt. This time there will be six men instead of one, and the proceedings will therefore be unprecedented as regards numbers. SHIP DUMFOUNDED. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 1—"It's pretty tough. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless." These were the words of ex-Sheriff Shipp when informed of the action of the Supreme Court in denying a re- (Continued on Page 8.)

He came to Nashville and after taking in the situation decided that he would make a departure from the precedent set by all Negroes who had purchased typecasting machinery, and in addition to the Linotype machine being operated in the A. M. E. plant he decided to buy a Monotype machine. This machine is very different from Key Board to Monotype Machine, on which rolls of paper are perforated that cast type automatically. the Linotype machine. It is conceded by competent judges that the two are about on a par in efficiency. One is especially adapted to a certain class of work while the other is especially adapted to another class.

The law, passed at the last legislative session, authorizes the School Board of any county "to establish one Agricultural High School in the coun- In the early eighties there was established in the city of Nashville by Dr. C. S. Smith, now Bishop Smith, a publishing house for the purpose of publishing and distributing Sundayschool literature. This was the beginning of the printing of religious literature for use in the Sunday-schools for Negroes by Negroes. It is true that for years Negroes in every part of the country had attempted to conduct newspapers and a few of them had essayed to run job printing offices, some of them succeeding fairly well and some were failures then as some fail now, but no one had attempted to do a regular publishing business until the house we have mentioned above was started in this city. In 1897 Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Texas, came to, this city and established the National Baptist Publishing Board under authority of the National Baptist Convention. He started the publication of Sunday-school literature on or about the same plan that the African Methodist had been working under since the early eighties. The success of his venture was so rapid that the most skeptical among all people were dumfounded, and in twelve years' time he has built up a business estimated to be worth between three hundred and fifty or four hundred thousand dollars. These two houses are a great credit to the Negroes of this country and are a special pride of the citizens of Nashville. In this issue is printed a cut of a Scott's All-Size Rotary book press. This machine is in operation at the National Baptist Publishing Board daily, and is the only one of its kind South of the Ohio river. It has a capacity of 8,000 printed sheets per hour. They come out of the press printed on both sides, which means that in one hour this press will deliver to its owner 16,000 thirty-two page Sunday-school magazines empleted and ready to be bound. To give a better idea to the people generally, it would be well to state that this one machine can do as much work in one day as eight ordinary printing presses. It was absolutely necessary for Dr. Boyd to buy this press to get his magazines printed in time to be delivered to his constituents throughout the country. Another great stride that has been made in printing among Negroes was the purchasing of a Monotype machine by Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary and Treasurer of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday-School Union Publishing House. Mr. Bryant is a young man, being under 40 years old. He was elected by the last General Conference of his church, which convened in Norfolk, Va., in 1908. Previous to that time he had for several years worked in the Government Printing Office, and while there studied printing in its various phases.

Another point worthy of note in connection with the purchasing of these machines is the opportunity given by the managers of these two publishing houses to the young Negroes of this country who desire to be first-class printers, pressmen and book binders to equip themselves to (Continued on Page 3.)

No. 44. BRISTOL, TENN. STARTING POINT OF THE WASHINGTON PARTY. State of Tennessee Preparing To Receive Them. DISTINGUISHED PARTY WILL INCLUDE MANY MEN OF RENOWN MAIN BUSINESS SECTIONS WILL BE TOUCHED—TRIP EXPECTED TO RESULT IN MUCH GOOD—SHORT ADDRESSES WILL BE MADE AT EACH STOPPING PLACE — BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR A VERY SUCCESSFUL TOUR — SOME OF LEADING BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN WILL VISIT TENNESSEE. From what could be picked up here and there this week and from what little information could be given out by men interested in working up the special party that is going on the grand tour scheduled to be pulled off real soon in which prominent educators, ministers, business and professional men in Tennessee from East to West will take part, things look bright and the whole trip seems a success. Already the personnel of the special party that will go over the mountainous section of the East, the manufacturing and industrious section of Middle, and the agricultural and delta section of the West, is complete. There seems now no doubt but that the various cities throughout the Volunteer State will contribute a great deal to the trip and that small parties will join the special going from place to place making it one round of pleasure. The intention of this movement as stated by one of the speakers at a special meeting held in the directors' rooms at the One-Cent Savings Bank was to stir up an educational, commercial and professional interest in the race; second to introduce the Negro to himself; third, to put some facts before the white men of the state that would help along a good cause, and other important things that would be brought out and that would certainly be accomplished by this trip. The idea of making this general swing-through the state belongs to Mr. J. C. Napier, Cashier of the One-Cent Savings Ban, for it was he that succeeded in securing Prof. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee fame, to make special addresses at the various stopping places. The party is planning to have a special train equipped with tourist sleeping cars in which to make the journey. The tentative program shows that the Nashville delegation is to leave here Wednesday night, November 17, for Bristol, Tenn., on a special train, making the first stop at Johnson City, thence to Greenville, from Greenville to Morristown and Knoxville, from Knoxville to Harriman, from Harriman to Chattanooga, from Chattanooga to South Pittsburg, from South Pittsburg to Deerchd, from Decherd to Fayetteville, from Fayetteville to Columbia, from Columbia to Pulaski, from Pulaski to Nashville, from Nashville to Hopkinsville, which is the only instance in which the party will go out of the state and this exception was made, states one of the promoters, because of the fact that Southern Kentucky is so wideawake and so generally in sympathy with all that tends to make Tennessee great. From Hopkinsville the special train will proceed to Clarksville, from Clarksville they stop at Humboldt and Brownsville and make a grand display at Memphis, where the people of the Bluff City have planned to royally entertain them. From Memphis they come up to Jackson which ends the tour. Here Mr. Washington will leave the party and proceed East while the others will begin their journey homeward. The following is a partial list of those who have already consented to make the trip: Prof. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Mr. Warren Logan, Treasurer of Tuskegee; Dr. J. A. Kenny Resident Physician Tuskegee; Mr N. B. Dodson, New York City; Mr. John Daniel, Boston, Mass.; Dr, R. EB. Park, Boston, Mass.; Mr, Charles Banks, Cashier Bank, Mound Bayou, Mississippi; Mr, J. E. Bush, Re ciever of Public Monies, Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. J. T. Jones, Hampton In- stitute, Hampton, Va.; Major R. R. Moton, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va.; Mr. W. T. B, Williams, Hampton Tnstitute, Hampton Institute, Hamp- ton, Va.; E. J. Scott, Tuskegee Insti- tute, Mr, Nathan Hunt, Tuskegee, and Mr. Horace D. Slater, Hopkinsville, Ky. The Nashville men who have al- ready signified their intention of join- ing are as follows; J. C. Napier, Cash: ier of One Cent Savings Bank; Mr. A. N. Johnson, proprietor of the John- son Undertaking Establishment; R. F, Boyd, M. D., Surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital; H. T. Noel, M. D., F. A. Stewart, M.D., of Meharry Medical Faculty; Preston Taylor, of Taylor & Co. Undertakers; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D. pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Chureh; Rey. G. B. Taylor, of the Tennessee Orphan and Industrial School; Bishop I. B. Scott, of the Methodist Episcopal Church; R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board; J. J. Lay, Photographer; Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board This number may be augmented to quite a few more as each day adds more interest to this great education- al and business trip. Mr. Napier states that for the past three days scores of letters have been coming from places on the route that are con- vineing of the high interest and great enthusiasm manifested by the people all along where the party will touch. As it looks this week they will reach Nashville on their trip back November 41, spending about twenty-three hours, This week confirmation as to what the Washington party had fully decided to do about the trip was awaited hourly.

BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN CITY. OF NEW YORK. DOOOOOGOCOOOOOOOOOOOOO By H. A. Williamson. Part II. usual enthusiasm generally prevalent among our people for such organiza- tions is not as great nor as active as can probably be said of such bodies existing in smaller cities. One thing! probably accounting for this lack of interest is the fact that there are so many other avenues of amusement open to our people, that serve to give a variety of entertainment. Close confinement in a large room with the usual drawn-out forms and ceremo- nies, which after the novelty wears away make the sessions uninteresting and compel the members to seek a change of atmosphere. ‘As might be expected the Masonic fraternity is the most prominent of the various bodies represented. The number of todges and their member- ship, while not being very large, are however representative of the very best of our citizenship. The borough of Brooklyn in Symbolic Masonry com- prises what is known as the Second District, and contains three very ac- tive lodges; Widows Sons No. 11, the oldest in the district and one of the oldest lodges on the Grand Lodge ros- ter, having been warranted about 1859, its present Master is Worshipful Brother Wm. A. Moody; Hiram No. 23, warranted about 1873, of which Worshipful Brother Robert Jackson is the Master; the youngest lodge in the district is Carthaginian No. 47, war- paves in 1905, the present Master be- ing Worshipful Brother Ferdinand L. ‘Washington. Although containing on- ly three lodges, Brooklyn’s Grand Lodge representation is rather sur- prising, it being able to muster 27 Past Masters’ votes besides the nine lodge votes. The Grand Lodge officers from this district are at present R. W. John H. Hardy; District Deputy Grand Master, a member of Widows Sons No. 11 and R. W. Henry A. Wil- liamson, Grand Historian and a mem- ber of Carthaginian No. 47; M. W. Edward V. C. Eato, who for nearly six years was Grand Master of the state is a resident of the Borough. The Royal Arch or Capitulon Ma- sonry is represented by Mt. Moriah Chapter No. 5, of which Companion Joseph Love is High Priest. The Dis- trict Deputy Grand High Priest is Companion Eugene T. Reid. The Knights Templar have Geth- semane Commandery No. 3. Its present Eminent Commander is Sir Bugene T. Reid. This Commandery was es- tablished along in the early seventies and has had a varied career, but with- in recent years has taken on new life and is considered now one of the most active members of the Grand Com- mandery, The other officers are Sirs Edward Watkins, Generalissimo; Joseph H, Dunell, Capt. General; Thos. W. Delaney, Treasurer; Jas, A. How- anil, recorder; Peter M. Jacobs, Senior Warden; Wm. B. Merrill, Junior War- den; Geo, C. Lemons, Sword Bearer; Thos, H. Steward, 8. B.; Chas. EB.

The second in importance is the G. U. 0. of O.

GATES, THE NEW PRESIDENT OF FISK, ARRIVES George A. Gates, the newly-elected President of Fisk University, arrived in the city Tuesday morning and proceeded at once to the school, where he arrived shortly after the morning devotional service was held. He was greeted by the committee in charge and spent the day after meeting many of the members of the faculty, in conference with Dean H. H. Wright and in correspondence. On Wednesday morning at 8:40 o'clock President Gates met both the faculty and student body in the regular morning's devotion. After the regular devotion, which practically closed with the singing of "Gloria Patria" and "Enter this Band, We Have Sweet Union," etc., Dean Wright introduced the President, who after a hearty applause which lasted several minutes, spoke in part as follows: "Dean Wright Faculty, Student Body, Visitors—All: "I consider it a great blessing to meet with you in this your morning's devotion—a blessing which comes from above, for such could not come DR. R. F. Secretary and Treasurer of the Nation ville, from another source. I have had many personal words from warm friends of Fisk University and who have said to me that Fisk University is on the "Firing Line." Although I have had twenty years of experience in this work, still I am a learner. We, each of us, are learners and may we all stand upon that common ground and learn each other. I do not fear. A Christian should never fear, for he knows who is at his back. "I come to you with a feeling of tenderness and of responsibility. "If I know my own heart, I come to you with absolute surrender of loyalty. If I have any service, I give it --- cheerfully. I know that we shall differ in opinions, but let us differ and still have respect for each other." President Gates said that he would make a program as the days go on. He urged warm fellowship between the faculty and student-body and between each other. He then read a very appropriate selection from Josh. 1:6-9, thus: "Be strong and of a good courage; for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them," etc. Closing with prayer, he was, after a few announcements, introduced to the visitors. Among the many visitors who were present to greet the new President were Drs. W. S. Ellington, D. D.; C. V. Roman, M. D.; D. W. Dunn, M. D.; F. A. Stewart, M. D.; Hon. J. C. Napier, Rev. C. L. Imes, Rev. John A. Kumler, President of Walden University; Mr. T. C. Moore and Miss M. E. Braden. The long-standing desire, not only of the faculty and students, but also of the citizens of Nashville, has been filled to the joy of all, for Fisk is among the many institutions that are helping to solve the so much talked about problem. It is to be remembered that President Gates succeeds President James G. Merrill, who resigned in the year 1907. DR. PHILLIPS TO WED MISS FRENCH. An approaching wedding that will unite two popular young people, one that is causing no end of speculation, is the one recently announced by Mr. and Mrs. John B. French, of Chicago, Ill., who request the honor of the presence of a host of friends at the H. BOYD, National Baptist Publishing House Nash- ville, Tenn. marriage of their daughter, Edna Martha, to Rev. Charles Henry Phillips, Jr., A. B., M. D., of this city, who is located at Tyler, Texas. The wedding is to take place Wednesday evening, November 10, at 7 o'clock at the Grace Presbyterian Church, Chicago. Just what entertainment will be given these young people while in the Windy City is not definitely known, but since they are both well known, there seems to be no doubt that they will be royally entertained, and that the wedding will be a social event of much importance. There will be a reception upon the arrival of this couple in the city tendered by Bishon --- and Mrs. Charles Henry Phillips on Saturday, November 13, from 4 to 7 p. m., at "Sunshine," the home of Bishop and Mrs. Phillips, 317 Twelfth avenue, North. The invitations state that Dr. and Mrs. Phillips will be at home after December, at Tyler, Texas, where the groom is pursuing his course as a practicing physician and a member of the faculty of Phillips University. NEGRO FAIR AT ATHENS, ALA. Athens, Ala., Nov. 1.—The first annual Negro fair and races that was held in Limestone County closed here Saturday. The crowds have been tremendous and the fact that this was the last fair of the season added much to the entire occasion. The live stock exhibits have not been surpassed by any in this section of the country. There was an abundant lot of good accomplished. The farmers came from the various parts of the county and the L. & N. Railroad gave round trip rates for one fare plus 25 cents from most of the surrounding cities and towns. The officers of the fair associtation were F. L. McWilliams, President; Robt. Brandon, Vice President; W. L. Cox, Secretary; John R. Fraser, Treasurer. The directors were D. L. Miller, Alex Harris, Sr., and Lawson Brandon. Already they are making preparations to repeat this fair in 1910, about the same time as this year. "CAIRO DAN" PROFESSES RE LIGION. On Monday of this week Rev. C. H. Clark baptized one of the most noted sporting men of this section of the country. It was Mr. Daniel Carter, who is known throughout the country as "Cairo Dan." Indeed, he was one of the most prominent plungers that ever came to this city. Mr. Carter has been ill for quite a while at his home, 1024 Fourth avenue, North, and Dr. Clark has been visiting him, administering to his spiritual wants for the past three weeks, which resulted in his conversion and union with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Mr. Carter spoke encouragingly of his Christian hope and said that he was not deceived in what he had succeeded in getting. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS FOR DR. MORRIS. Invitations are out announcing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark. The couple were married November 29, 1884. They are requesting the honor of the presence of their hundreds of friends on Monday night, November 29, 1909, to a reception that is to be held at their home, 810 York street Helena, Ark., from 8 to 11 p. m. Dr. Morris is a graduate of Roger Williams University this city, and is President of the National Baptist Convention, pastor of Centennial Baptist Church, and President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. He has a host of friends in Nashville. MRS. E. W. S. HAMMOND AT LANE TABERNACLE. A large audience was out to hear Mrs. E. W. S. Hammond at Lane Tabernacle Church, Monday night, Oct. 25, in an elocation recital. She completely captivated the audience and had to respond many times to encores. Mrs. Hammond is rated as one of the best elocationists of the country. She can hold any audience under her grasp while she portrays in words the many scenes of real life. Miss Geneva Bender rendered several vocal selections. Miss Dorothy Bennett sang as never before and was loudly applauded. Misses Matilda Williams and Lottie Ball rendered two beautiful instrumental selections which were highly enjoyed. The last number on the program, a drama, "A Perplexing Situation," brought forth many peals of laughter while it was being shown that women can keep from talking at least half a day and under most trying circumstances. This great entertainment was given for the benefit of the Woman's Sentiment Moulding Movement which is REMEMBER THAT THE Textile Coloring and Dry Cleaning Company Cleans all kinds of Laces, Silks, Velvets, Gloves, Fur, Feathers, Garments, Etc.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1909. FISK'S NEW PRESIDENT On last Wednesday morning when Dr. G. A. Gates made his appearance on the platform in the chapel of Fisk University as the president of that institution, every member of the student-body rejoiced with exceeding great joy, and the members of the faculty and the public in general breathed a sigh of relief. Fisk had been without a president for more than a year, a condition that had never existed before; and while the committee of management were all earnest and conscientious workers, and might have conducted the affairs of the University as successfully as the new president can, there was, nevertheless, a constant feeling of unrest among the friends of the institution. Dr. Gates comes to his new field of labor with twenty years' experience as a college president, having served in that capacity in some of the best schools in the country, and while it is true that he has never had the oversight of a Negro school his many years of experience in school work will enable him to take in the situation with ease. The members of the faculty, the students and friends of the institution gave the new executive a hearty reception on his initial appearance among them, which will go a long way toward making him feel that he is among friends, and he may well feel so, for all Nashville bids him welcome and will do all possible to make his administration a success. ELECTIONS. The elections held this week throughout the country furnished some surprises, but in the main they resulted as was expected. The greatest surprise was the result in New York City, where the Democrats lost everything but the Mayor. The other elections in the East favored the Republican tickets. In Massachusetts the vote was close, the Democrats succeeding in many instances in cutting down the Republican plurality several thousand but could not win. The State of Maryland and the City of Louisville in Kentucky were the storm centers so far as the Negroes were concerned. In Maryland the state was voting on a constitutional amendment to disfranchise the Negro voters. The Republicans, who opposed the amendment, won out after a bitter contest. In the City of Louisville ```markdown ``` THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1909. the Democrats resorted to that low and unmanly practice of crying Negro domination. They carried their point, but only by a small margin. It was their only hope of success, which is proof positive that the crowd that won is not capable of governing that great city. The Negroes in the states where their votes count should take warning from the methods adopted in the Louisville campaign and keep in readiness to resent every such thrust at them. The weakest and meanest plea that can be made to the citizens of any city or state in our Union is Negro domination, but there are men in this country who will stoop to anything to get a political office, and it stands the Negroes in hand to be prepared to rebuff all such tactics as those used against them in the Kentucky metropolis. SHERIFF SHIPP CASE. At last the Supreme Court of the United States has taken a definite stand in the contempt case of Sheriff Joseph H. Shipp, of Chattanooga, and his codefendants. The history of this case is well known to the readers of the Globe. It will be recalled how the unfortunate Ed Johnson, for whose death the defendants in this case are called to answer, was taken by a mob and lynched without the least resistance on the part of the sheriff or jailer. This was allowed to be done after the Supreme Court had practically taken charge of the prisoner. These parties are not being persecuted because they allowed the mob to enter the jail and destroy the life of a prisoner, but because in so doing they ignored the order of the Supreme Court. Negro men are often mobbed and burned in all sections of our country, but so long as the order of the Supreme Court is not ignored the mobbing is done by "unknown parties in an orderly manner." This case has attracted wide-spread attention, as it brought the Federal Government in direct contact with the county government. It was a case of who shall be supreme, and while the Negroes of this country get very little encouragement from the decision of the court, they can, at least, have the satisfaction cf knowing that a few of the mob who killed Ed Johnson are to suffer the consequences. THE HOOKWORM DONATION. The press of the South is having a great deal to say about the donation of Rockfeller to the amount of a million dollars to aid the Federal Government in stamping out the Hookworm. Some are very indignant, and others, while not censuring him for the gift in behalf of the poor white people of the South, think that the appropriation might have been given for a more deserving purpose. But with all said there are likely to be found a sufficient number who can be persuaded to search for the hoary-headed monsters until the fund is exhausted. We do queer things in the South, but we never turn down a proposition that is backed up with a dollar Kentucky will never be lost sight of as long as her citizens can furnish exciting incidents such as occurred in a portion of that state last Tuesday The capers cut in "Bloody Breathitt" are hard to beat. They do things in that part of the world in bang-up style. The Negro is constantly proving to the world that he is a subject fit to be reckoned with as a man. Prof. Isaac Fisher's success in winning the second prize in writing articles on "Improved Highways in the South" puts him in the front rank of Southern thinkers. The articles appear as leaders in the November Manufacturers Record. Pearl High School will make an effort Saturday to show the boys from Missouri that they are "it." It is hoped that the people of Nashville will turn out in large numbers to cheer the boys on. Here is hoping they will win. And now the poor Turks must prove to the United States that they are white people. We wonder if Teddy Roosevelt will be so humiliated when he returns to this country. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.

The white people of Richmond, Va. have introduced a new wrinkle which bids fair to spread all over the South. Last week in one of the most fashionable and wealthiest suburbs of Richmond they extend the suffrage to white women. At a meeting of the Citizen's Association the governing body of that suburb, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, with one provision of which is that "all males and females, white and over twenty-one years of age, owning property and living in Ginter Park, and subscribing to the constitution and by-laws, have a right to vote." This is the first community in the South to take this drastic step to entirely disfranchise the Negroes. By this scheme every section in the South will act to reclinch the aspirations of the Negroes to have a voice in the government under which they live.-The Advocate Verdict. *** The are many children in and around the town of Keystone who are not attending school.

By Frank Marshall White. (From the Outlook for November.) The greatest number of human beings that ever got together on the hemisphere—indeed, the greatest number of human beings that ever got together on earth, so far as any records go, with the exception of the multitude that gathered in London for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1597 and for King Edward's coronation in 1902—were assembled in New York for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, which lasted from Saturday, the 25th of September to and including Saturday, October the 9th. While it is impossible to make anything like an accurate estimate where such immense numbers are involved, there were undoubtedly within the city's boundaries on the days of the great pageants something more than five and a half millions of people; and though an overwhelming proportion of the visitors were Americans among them were delegates who had come from the ends of the earth to participate in the ceremonies that commemorated the discovery, three hundred years ago, of the Hudson River, and of the first journey of the first vessel to be navigated by steam—which event, occurring two hundred years later, yet by a fortuitous coincidence is identified with the history of that noble stream. As many as two millions of spectators, in ranks that in places were ten, twenty, and even thirty deep three times during the THE GLOBE TRADING COUPON We Recommend That Our Readers Trade With The Merchants that Advertise in THE NASHVILLE GLOBE Cut out this coupon and present it when you go to make a purchase, and we guar- antee you will always get a square deal. YOURS TRULY. NASHVILLE GLOBE. The people of Nashville will be given two rare treats on Monday of next week. Dr. Charles Stewart, the the well-known newspaper correspondent, and a lecturer of great renown, will deliver one of his famous lectures at St. Paul A. M. E. Church on Monday night, November 8th. The subjeet that Dr. Stewart will discuss on this occasion is unique in name, but we venture the assertion that he will get more out of it than can be imagined. He will discuss "Uncle Ned and His Son." Mr. Stewart is well known in this city having lectured here on several occasions, and those who heard him can attest to the nature of his discussions. He is a man with broad experience, having traveled from one end of the country first week of the celebration, lined the parade course, stretching nearly six miles from the Cathedral Parkway through Central Park West, Fiftyninth Street, and Fifth Avenue to Washington Square, without causing any perceptible diminution of local population in other parts of the city. Not one of all the millions of people in New York saw the entire celebration, for besides the main events that occupied most of the official day and evening, there were minor features of almost as much interest that simultaneously demanded attention. The Marine Parade, with which the two weeks' celebration began on the first Saturday, the Historical Pageant on the following Tuesday, the Military Parade on Thursday, the Children's Festival on the second Saturday afternoon and the Carnival Parade at night, with the aeroplane flight of Wilbur Wright the next Monday, and the lighting of the beacon fires on the final Saturday night, were the principal public spectacles in New York City, but in addition to these there were banquets, receptions, balls, dedications of monuments and parks, music festivals and concerts, literary exercises, athletic and aquatic sports, minor parades and pageants in the various burroughs, besides open art galleries and museums, the opportunity of a lifetime in the courteous permission extended by their officers to visit the war-ships of eight nations, and electrical and pyrotechnical displays after dark finer than have ever been seen before anywhere in the world. IN MEMORIAM. Miss Maria Armstrong a faithful and devoted member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, eparted this life October 8th, at the home of the late Mr. Sam'l J. Keith, where she had been a devoted and useful member for the last forty or more years. She was a most beautiful character, deeply religious, pious and conscientious, and was loved by all who knew her. To her church she was faithful and a large contributor of her means. To her kindred and friends she was always generous. To those she served in the capacity of servant she was faithful and was a beautiful example of what one should be in any capacity one is called upon to serve. During her later years she has served in two families that she was deeply interested in. That of Mr. and Mrs. Peroy Maddin, having nursed Mrs. Maddin when an infant, and afterwards nursed three children for her. She then went from the Maddins to the home of Mr. Walter Keith and was with them till a few weeks of her death, when she was brought to the home of Mrs. Sam'l J. Keith where she spent the last days of her illness with Mrs. Keith and her daughter and son-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Glassgo. During her illness every thing possible that could be done by medical skill and kind attention was given her. Doctors, trained nurses were constant at her bedside as well to the other, keeping constantly in touch with the events of the day; and especially does he know what the Negroes of this country are accomplishing along all lines. There is not a man in the United States who is better informed as to the general conditions of the Negro people. Mr. Stewart is a pleasant entertainer and an instructive and forceful speaker. On Monday afternoon at 3:30 Mr. Stewart will lecture to women only at St. John A. M. E. Church. The last lecture he delivered here was to the women and those who heard him on that occasion acknowledge that they were greatly benefited by what he said, and at each lecture given by Mr. Stewart on Monday a great crowd is expected. as the ministrations of her friends, all of the Kleiths and Maddins, from the oldest to the youngest. The night she died there were present at her bedside Dr. and Mrs. Glasgow, Mrs. S. J. Kieth and Mr. Walter Kieth. Mrs. S. J. Kieth with her own hands washed and dressed her and helped to lay her out. It was her pastor's privilege several times to be present at her bedside and he never before saw such kindness and attention shown to any one as was shown to "Mammy," as she was called by all. The funeral was held at the residence on Saturday morning, conducted by her pastor, with Dr. Anderson, of the First Presbyterian Church, assisting. Services at the residence consisted of Scripture readings, the recital of the Lord's Prayer, the Apostles' Creed, prayer by Dr. Anderson and singing of hymns "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Rock of Ages" and Jubilee Songs by a quartette from Fisk University. She was buried at Mt. Olivet on the Kieth burying plot, just as she requested to be. She was laid away in a beautiful metallic casket and in a cemented tomb. Many beautiful floral designs bedecked the casket that had all that contained the mortal remains of this dear and good woman, especially a beautiful pall of flowers, a pillow made of roses presented by the Kieth children. The touching scene at the grave was when the pall was lifted and placed on the mound by the little hands of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kieth and little John Maddin "Mammy" in her will remembered her relatives, who live in Georgia her church, and she also willed a nice sum for fund to found a home for aged men and women. Whereas, God in his great wisdom has seen fit to take from us our beloved sister, one of our strongest Christians and one always ready to help in any way she could, who by her Christian life and example endeared herself to all who knew her and may each of our members strive to emulate her beautiful character; be it Resolved, That the members of the St. Andrew's Church do hereby express our sympathy and condolence to the family, loved ones and friends in their bereavement. That in the removal of such a life from our midst a vacancy is left and a shadow has fallen; a serious loss to our church and community has been sustained. That it gives us consolation in our grief that she was a true follower of Christ and that she is not gone from us forever, just gone through the beautiful gate which will soon open for us all, where we shall meet our beloved "Mammy" above. That a copy of these resolutions be transcribed on our minutes, a copy be sent for publication to the Nashville Globe. REV. S.

Darden, of Nashville, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Darden Sunday, and added to the number of visitors to the new hall. The M. A. Society will celebrate its anniversary on the third Saturday in this month. A parade headed by a brass band, consisting of all the sister lodges in the state and other lodges that accept the invitation, will take place in the afternoon, and a grand entertainment at night. Mrs. J. H. Cannon, who has been seriously sick, is improving. SUPPOSE THAT THESE WERE YOUR CHILDREN? I sat down at the big table with the Governor at my right, (writes Judge Lindsey,) the Mayor at my left, and the president of the Board of Supervisors and Police Commissioner Wilson at either end of the table. The ministers seated themselves in chairs about the room. We allowed no newspaper reporters in, because I knew what sort of vile and unprintable testimony was coming.) Mickey, the boy who was rounding up witnesses for me, sent in his first one. One by one, as the boys came, I impressed upon them the necessity of telling the truth encouraged them to talk, and tried to put them at their ease. I started each by asking him how often he had been in jail, what he had seen there, and so forth. Then I sat back and let him tell his story. And the things they told would raise your hair. I saw the blushes rise to the foreheads of some of the ministers at the first details. As we went on, the perspiration stood on their faces. Some sat pale, staring appalled at these freckled youngsters from whose little lips, in a sort of infantile eagerness to tell all they knew, there came stories of beastiality that were the more horrible because they were so innocently, so boldly, given. It was enough to make a man weep; and indeed tears of compassionate shame came to the eyes of more than one father there as he listened. One boy broke down and cried when he told of the vile indecencies that had been committed upon him by the older criminals; and I saw the muscles working in the clenched jaws of some of our "investigating committee"—saw them swallowing the lump in the throat—saw them looking down at the floor blinkingly, afraid of losing their self-control. The Police Commissioner made the mistake of cross-examining the first boy, but the frank answers he got only exposed worse matters. The boys came and came, till at last a Catholic priest. Father O'Ryan, cried out. "My God! I have had enough!" Governor Peabody said hoarsely. "I never knew there was such immorality in the world!" Some else put in. "It's awful—awful!" in a half groan. "Gentlemen," I said, "there have been over two thousand Denver boys put through those jails and those conditions in the last five years. Do you think it should go on any longer?" Governor Peabody rose. "No," he said, "no. Never in my life have I heard of so much rot—corruption—vileness—as I've heard to-day from the mouths of these babies. I want to tell you that nothing I can do in my administration can be of more importance—nothing I can do will I do more gladly than sign those bills that Judge Lindsey is trying to get through the legislature to do away with these terrible conditions. And if, he said, turning to the Police Commission, "Judge Lindsey is 'crazy,' I want my name written under his, among the crazy people. And if any one says these boys are 'liars,' that man is a liar himself!"—"The Beast and the Jungle," in the November Everybody's. Mrs. Laura Patterson Saunders, formerly of this city, now of Louisville, Ky., was in the city last week visiting her daughter, Miss E. O. Patterson. NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT AND THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS. By Booker T. Washington. When I began my work in Tuskegee in 1881, the colored people of Alabama had just been deprived—in a way that is now familiar—of many of their political rights. There was some voting, but few Negroes held office anywhere in Alabama at that time. The Negroes set great store by the political privileges that had been granted them during the Reconstruction period, and they thought that when they lost these they had lost all. Soon after I went to Alabama a new President, James A. Garfield, was inaugurated at Washington. A little community of colored people not very far from Tuskegee, were so impressed with the idea that the new Administration would do something to better their condition, especially in the way of strengthening their political rights, that, out of their poverty, they raised enough money to pay the expenses of one of their number to Washington, in order that he might get direct information and return and report to them what the outlook was. This incident struck me as the more pathetic because I happened to know the man who went on this errand. He was a good, honest, well-meaning fellow, but entirely lacking in knowledge of the world outside his own community. I doubt that he ever got near enough, even at the inauguration ceremonies, to see the President, and I am sure he never got inside the door of the White House. He returned to his people, at any rate, with a very gloomy report, and, although it was never quite clear whom he had seen or what he had done, the people understood what it meant. The people did not say much about their loss. They preserved outwardly, as a rule, the same good nature and cheerfulness which had always characterized them, but deep down in their hearts they had begun to feel that there was no hope for them. This feeling of apathy and despair continued for a long time among these people in the country districts. A good many of them who had owned land in the county at this time gave it up or lost it for one reason or another. Others moved away from the county, and there were a great many abandoned farms. Gradually, however, the temper of the people changed. They began to see that harvests were just as good and just as bad as they had been before the changes which deprived them of their political privileges. They began to see, in short, that there was still hope for them in economic if not in political directions. The man who went to Washington to call on the President is still living. He is a different person now, a new man, in fact. Since that time he has purchased a farm, has built a decent, comfortable house, is educating his children, and I note that never a session of the monthly Farmers' Institute assembles at Tuskegee that man does not come and bring some of the products from his farm to exhibit to his fellow-farmers. He is not only successful, but he is one of the happiest and most useful individuals in our county. He has learned that he can do for himself what the au thorities at Washington could not do for him, and that is, make his life a success. A large part of the work which Tuskegee Institute did in those early years, and has continued to do down to the present time, has been to show the masses of our people that in agriculture, in the industries, in commerce, and in the struggle toward economic success, there were compensations for the losses they had suffered in other directions.—The Outlook, Oct. 9, 1909. Oct. 9, 1909. Y. M. L. CLUB. The Y. M. L. Club met at the home of Mr. H. Jordan Stockard and after the usual devotional exercises the first step in business was taken up. After some important discussions had been completed the report of the Executive Committee regarding a debate which is to be had at an early date was heard. The subject was presented by Mr. Rouse, who after spending a very delightful summer in the metropolis of the Middle West, returned to our midst last Monday night. At the completion of business all indulged in a programme as follows: Song by the club; recitation from Dunbar, Mr. Kinzer; reading, "Wandering Boy," Mr. Douglass; talk, Mr. Rouse. Thus closed one of the most delightful meetings of the season to meet at the residence of Mr. Douglass 1805 1-2 State street, November 8. All members are requested to be present. Mr. Jro P.

(Continued from Page 1.) hearing and summoning him and five codefendants to appear in Washington Nov., 15 and receive sentence for contempt of court. Counsel for the defendants decline to make statements pending official notification. The proceedings are the outgrowth of the lynching of Ed Johnson, in Chattanooga in March, 1906. Jeremiah Gibson, the aged Jailer, who is summoned with the others to appear in Washington Nov. 15 to receive sentence is 76 years of age. Attorneys for the defendants are hard at work in the endeavor to discover new evidence, but the time being short they have little hope of securing anything sufficiently tangible to serve as a further stay. GREAT SUNDAY-SCHOOL MASS- MEETING. There will be a great revival in Sunday-school work of the Mt. Olive Church, in which, practically, the entire membership will participate. This will be in the form of a mass-meeting to be held at the church on Thursday night, Nov. 11th. This mass-meeting was suggested by Rev. C. H. Clark, the pastor, after a conference with Rev. T. J. Lewis, superintendent of the Sunday-school. It seems that they have fully decided that the large membership of the church should become more interested in Sunday-school work, and in keeping with their idea to put 1,000 children in Sunday-school, this meeting is proposed. An exceptionally entertaining program has been prepared for Thursday evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, and a special invitation is extended to every member of Mt. Olive Church to be out on this night. There will be no admission fee. The meeting will be on the old Love-Feast order. Every officer of the church has been in co-operation with the superintendent, teachers and officers of the Sunday-school and it looks as though success is assured. A special choir will render music for the occasion. The following program is announced by the Program Committee: song, congregation; invocation, Rev. T. J. Lewis; introductory remarks, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., who will act as master of ceremonies. Among the topics to be discussed will be, "How to build up and maintain a Sunday-school," by Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., and a general discussion on Sunday-school work led by Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., the Superintendent of the Teacher-Training Service. Fully a thousand people will be out on this occasion as Dr. Clark has made a special request of all the church members to bestir themselves in the interest of the Sunday-school. Every parent belonging to the church is urged to come out and bring the children. The service will be short but spicy. The committee working up this affair is composed of Messrs L. S. Gray, John Ridley, James Martin, H. A. Boyd, Sam Harrison, Ber Stanley, J. S. Gibbs and George Binkley. SPORT. On Saturday of this week Pearl High School and Sumner High School will stack up against each other in a football game at the Athletic Park. This will be the football event of the year next in importance only to the Fisk-Meharry game. Pearl is working hard to give a good account of herself, and when the two teams trot out on the field for the game each will be on edge for a great contest. The boys of this city will be going at just about too speed on next Saturday. There is an old score that they wish to settle with Sumner and they are going in with a determination to play Sumner off her feet. Sumner comes with an unbroken record for two years, not having suffered a defeat in that time. It ranks as the best High school team in the country and Pearl expects to take a championship from them. Sumner will arrive Saturday morning and the teams will line up as follows for the game: PEARL SUMNER. Duncan...L. E...Brown or Walker Allison...L. T...Voorhies or Thomas Williams...L. G...Staten. Anderson...C...Moten Caldwell...B. G...Freeman or Adams Whittaker...R. T...McClellan Waddy or Hockett.R. T...Bradshaw Johnson...Q. B...Fearnce or McDowell Floyd...R. H. B...Green or Bradley Hurt...L. H. B...Walton Lavis (Capt.)...F. B...Wiggins Substitutes for Pearl are Gray, Chrismon, Winston, Scruggs and Miller. Sumner averages in weight about 145 pounds and Pearl will be some- what lighter. The Pearl colors are cherry and white. The game will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock. Good order and a respectable game are assured. For the second time this year Pearl defeated the Walden Cubs on Fisk Campus last Saturday. All Nashville should turn out next Saturday, Nov. 6, to encourage the home boys. A championship in football as well as in baseball would not be too much for the High School boys. Athletics at Roger Williams. While Roger Williams is rapidly coming to herself as a literary factor in things educational, she is also taking her former place in athletics. Mr. A. A. Bennett, manager of the football team, is not only a hard student, but an enthusiastic football fan and a favorite among the students. He has aroused much interest in the school as pertains to football and even at this time of the season there is great competition for a place on the varsity team. The men are out on the field every afternoon at an early hour eagerly awaiting the orders of Captain Jeffries. On Friday, October 29, Captain Jeffries took his aggregation to Shelbyville and defeated Turner Normal College by a score of 6 to 0. While the score was very small, the victory, nevertheless, was a decisive one. The features were the line-plunging of the backs and the sportsman-like conduct of the men representing Roger Williams. The aim of athletics at Roger Williams is not a matter of winning games at any cost, but in the sportsman-like manner squarely facing an opponent and out-witting him in points technical as pertain to the game and thereby not only maintaining the athletic honors of the institution, but the learning of a moral lesson that will be applicable upon the gridiron of life—namely that where there isn't a way I will make one. SEMI-CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION BELIEVED TO BE A CERTAINTY. Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 27.—At a meeting held at Tuskegee Institute to-day preliminary plans were formulated for a semi-centennial exposition to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the freeing of the Negro slaves in the United States. Ten thousand dollars have already been secured to meet the expenses of the preliminary organization. Many prominent Negroes are behind the movement. NOTICE. The Nashville Globe is constantly receiving lengthy obituaries from its many readers. We would like to publish all of them, because we know that the people expect to see them in the Globe, so in order to give each of them space, we have made a special price of 25 cents per inch for all these, in order that we might run them all without incurring their displeasure by having to leave out some. If it becomes paid matter, it is always given precedence over ordinary news items. NASHVILLE GLOBE. ADDRESS DELIVERED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS COLORED LEAGUE IN FANEUIL HALL, BOSTON, DEC. 7, 1885, BY MR. JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY. Mr. President and Gentlemen: mr. President and Governor. I was quite unaware of the nature of this meeting when I came here. I learn from Mr. Downing's speech that it is more or less a political meeting; that you are going to express preferences this way or that. I came here because I was asked to speak at a colored men's meeting in Boston. I don't care what your political preferences or parties are. I don't care whether you vote the Republican or Democratic ticket, but I know that if I were a colored man I should use parties as I would a club—to break down prejudices against my people. I shouldn't talk about being true to any party except so far as that party was true to me. Parties care nothing for you only to use you. You should use parties; the highest party you have in this country is your own manhood. That is the thing in danger From all parties; that is the thing that every colored American is bound in his duty to himself and his children to defend and protect. I think it is as wicked and unreasonable to discriminate against a man because of the color of his skin as it would be because of the color of his hair. He is no more responsible for one than for the other, and one is more significant than the other. A previous speaker's reference to Mr. Parnell and his growing power as a reformer ought to suggest to you that Parnell is to-day a powerful man because he is pledged to no party. He would smash the Tories to-morrow as readily as he smashed the Liberals yesterday. That is the meaning of politics. The highest interest of politics is the selfish interest of the people. You are never going to change the things, that affect you colored man, by law. If my children were not allowed into Northen schools if I my self were not allowed into Northern hotels, I would change my party and my politics every day until I changed and wiped out that outrage. I was in Tennessee last spring, and when I got out of the cars at Nashville I saw over the door of an apartment. "Colored people's waiting-room." I went into it and found a wretched, poorly-furnished room, crowded with men, women, and children. Mothers with little children sat on the unwashed floor, and young men and young momen filled the bare uncomfortable seats that were fastened to the walls. Then I went out and found over another door, "Waiting-room." In there was the white people, carefully attended and comfortable, separate rooms for white men and women, well ventilated and well kept. I spent two days in Nashville, and every hour I saw things that made me feel that something was the matter either with God or humanity in the South, and I said going away, "If ever the colored question comes up again as long as I live I shall be counted in with the black man." But this disregard for the colored people does not only exist in the South. I know there are many hotel in Boston, where, if any one of you were to ask for a room, they would tell you that all the rooms were filled. The thing that most deeply afflicts the colored American is not going to be cured by politics. You have received from politics already about all it can give you. You may change the law by politics but it is not the law that is going to insult or outrage and excommunicate every colored American for generations to come. You can't cure the conceit of the white people that they are better than you by politics, nor their ignorance, nor their prejudice, nor their bigotry, nor any of the insolences which they cherish against their colored fellow-citizens. Politics is the snare and delusion of white men as well as black. Politics tickles the skin of the social order, but this disease and other diseases of class, privilege, and inheritance lie deep in the internal organs. Social equity is based on principals of justice; political change on the opinion of a time. The black man's skin will be a mark of social inferiority so long as white men are conceited, ignorant and prejudiced. You cannot legislate these qualities out of the whites—you must steal and reason them out by teaching, illustration and example. No man ever came into the world with a grander opportunity than the American Negro. He is like new metal dug out of the mine. He stands at this late day on the threshold of history, with everything to learn and less to unlearn, than any civilized man in the world. In his heart still ring the free sounds of the desert. In his mind he carries the traditions of Africa. The songs with which he charms American ears are refrains from the tropical forest, from the great inland seas and rivers of the dark continent. At worst, the colored American has only a century or so of degrading civilized tradition and the habit to forget and unlearn. His nature has only been injured on the outside by these late circumstances of his existence. Inside he is a new man, fresh from nature—a color lover and enthusiast, a believer by the heart, a philosopher, a cheerful, natural, good-natured man. I believe the colored American to be the kindiest human being in existence. All the inhumanities of slavery have not made him cruel or sullen or revengeful. He has all the qualities that fit him to be a good citizen of any country; he does not worry his soul to-day with the fear of next week, or next year. He has feelings and convictions and he loves to show them. He sees no reason why he should hide them. He will be a great natural expression if he dares to express the beauty, the color, the harmony of God's world as he sees with a Negro's eyes. That is the meaning of race distinction—that it should help us to see God's beauty in the world in various ways. What this splendid man needs most is confidence in himself and his race. He is a dependent man at present. He is not sure of himself. He underestates his own qualities. He must be a self-respecting man. Not all men can be distinguished, but assuredly some distinct expression of genius will come out of any considerable community of colored people who believe in themselves, who contemn and despise the man of their blood who apes white men and their ways, who is proud to be a Negro, who will bear himself according to his own ideas of a colored man, who will encourage his women-to dress themselves by their own tastes, to select the rich colors they love, to follow out their own natural bent, and not to adopt other people's stupid and shop-made fashions. The Negro woman has the best artistic eye for color of all the women in America. The Negro is the only graceful, musical, color-loving American. He is the only American who has written new songs and composed new music. He is the most spiritual of Americans, for he worships with soul and not with narrow mind. For him religion is to be believed, accepted like the very voice of God, and not invented, contrived, reasoned about, shaded and made fashionably lucrative and marketable, as it is made by too many white Americans. The Negro is a new man, a free man, a spiritual man, a hearty man; and he can be a great man if he will avoid modeling himself on the whites. No race ever became illustrious on borrowed ideas or the imitated qualities of another race. No race or nation is great or illustrious except by one test—the breeding of great men. Not great merchants or traitors, not rich men, bankers, insurance mongers, or directors of gas companies. But great thinkers—great seers of the world through their own eyes—great tellers of the truths and beauties and colors and equities as they alone see them. Great poets—ah, great poets above all—and their brothers, great painters and musicians, fashioners of God's beautiful shapes in clay and marvel and harmony. The Negro will never take his full stand beside the white man till he has given the world proof of the truth and beauty of heroism and power that are in his soul. And only by the organs of the soul are these delivered—by self-respect and self-reflection, by philosophy, religion, poetry, art, love and sacrifice. One great poet will be worth a hundred bankers and brokers, worth ten presidents of the United States, to the race. One great musician will speak to the world for the black men as no thousand editors or politicians can. The wealth of our Western soil in its endless miles of fertility, is less to America than the unworked wealth of the rich Negro nature. The Negro poet of the future will be worth two Mexicos to America. God send wise guides to my black fellow-countrymen, who shall lead them to understand and accept what is true and great and perennial, and to reject what is deceptive and changeable in life, purpose and hope. It is a great pleasure to me to say these things that I have long believed to a colored meeting in Boston. It would be a great pleasure to go down to Nashville and address a colored meeting there; and God grant that it may be soon possible for a Boston white man to go down to Nashville and address colored men. As I said in the beginning, so long as American citizens and their children are excluded from schools, theaters, hotels, or common conveyances, there ought not to be and there is not among those who love justice and liberty, any question of race, creed, or color; every heart that beats for humanity, beats with the oppressed.
