THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. Dr. R. H. Boyd's Report Satisfactory. INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE WELL PLEASED WITH MANNER IN WHICH BUSINESS IS BEING CONDUCTED — EVERY DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTION RUNNING SMOOTHLY — PEOPLE HIGHLY ELATED OVER OUTCOME OF THE INVESTIGATION HAVE IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE IN DR. BOYD. A house that is built on a foundation of rock, it is said in the Scriptures, will stand the fiercest winds of the storm and the surging waves of the mighty deep. This can truly be said of a man in public life. Recently the people of Nashville were stirred to the height of excitement by the announcement that a committee was coming to this city to investigate the workings of the National Baptist Publishing House. The impression was created in some way that matters were in a precarious condition and that that great institution might experience serious embarrassments. The rumor spread like wild-fire and it was on the lips of the people on every corner. It was the household word at every fireside and it caused no little alarm among the people in general. As the time drew near for the meeting of the committee the excitement on the part of the people reached a greater height. The papers were full of insinuating remarks about the institution and the people were made to believe that the greatest printing and publishing concern that Negroes have now or have ever had would soon be torn asunder and scattered to the winds. The one hundred and fifty skilled and professional employees, it was believed, would be set adrift, sent out into an unsympathetic world to start life anew. These rumors grew until they reached every section of the country and scores of people in Nashville received letters from their personal friends and those acquaintances living in other parts of the country, but who keep vigilant watch on the progress of the Negro race along these lines, were asking the people in Nashville what about the National Baptist Publishing House? The people here could give little information aside from what they had read in the papers. Everyone connected with the institution was questioned at every turn, but they were not able to say anything that would throw any light on the subject. But, amid all of this storm and excitement, there was one figure who moved calmly about his daily business, paying no attention to the wild rumors and showing no alarm. He appeared to be the embodiment of contentment. The man referred to is Dr. R. H. Boyd, whose name is the password in every home in Nashville and whose fame reaches to every quarter of the globe. Dr. Boyd's closest friends who dared to approach him on the subject could only say after they had talked with him that from what they could glean they were convinced that everything was all right at the Publishing House. But this did not satisfy the people and they were restless until after the committee had made its visit and given a statement. The people were not surprised at the verdict, for they had learned to put implicit confidence in R. H. Boyd in Nashville and all over the country. They know too well how humbly he started that great enterprise and they are thoroughly acquainted with its progress. Dr. Boyd has always been a strong advocate of the the "open door policy" and the people have been urged to visit his plant from time to time, and he has always made it a special point to acquaint them with its workings. He is a man who is liberal enough to tell the dark sides of his business as well as the bright sides, and so the people know him intimately. But, despite all this, they could not help but be apprehensive of the outcome of the commit- NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1910 THE GREAT BENEFACTOR. DR. R. Secretary-Treasurer Nation DR. R. H. BOYD, Secretary-Treasurer National Baptist Publishing Board. tee's investigation and will sieze with great joy and delight the statement of the committee on the National Baptist Publishing House as being conducted along strict business lines and that every act of the secretary is found to be absolutely honest. Now, they continue to look upon this great promoter of industry as a giant oak in the forest, standing firm amid all storms and oppositions, and as being a great benefactor to the people and as a great leader of his race. NASHVILLE BOY MAKES GOOD. The splendid record and the many rapid strides in the business world that have been made by a product of Nashville, came prominently into note last week when information reached the city of the whereabouts and doings of Mr. Clarence C. Kittrell, a young Nashville man, who is at present making his home in Erie, Pa., but was born in Nashville, Tenn., October 4, 1876. He lived here until some few years ago and then moved to find his fortune in another state. In Erie, Mr. Kittrell has proven in his line of work to be one of the best horseshoers in the United States; it is stated that he has shod some of the most noted race horses in the world. He is at present employed in one of the best horseshoeing shops in the city of Erie and is a charter member of the Journeyman Horseshoers' Local No. 79., Corresponding Secretary of the same organization, Vice President of the Central Labor Union, and the only colored horseshoer in the city. Aside from this, he is the only colored representative in the Central Labor Union. He has high connections in the Masonic Fraternity, being Worshipful Master of Bay City Lodge, No. 68, F. & A. M.; Scribe of the Presque Isle Chapter No. 19; Generalissimo in the Pythagras Commandery, Father Joshua of Deborah Court No. 15, O. E. S., and the Secretary and Treasurer of the St. James A. M. E. Church. No doubt his friends in Nashville will read with much satisfaction of the success already attained by him. A. C. E. LEAGUE, ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH.

Since Dr. Gates took charge of Fisk University that great educational institution has taken on new life. That activity so lacking during the period the school was run without a president. The latest move toward a general renovation is the beginning of work on the new stone wall that will encircle the entire campus. This will add greatly to the general appearance of things around the university. It will be built so as to harmonize with the wall already around Jubilee Hall. The Negro citizens of Nashville are rapidly settling around the campus and erecting and beautifying their homes. They take special pride in the school. It is located in an ideal locality, being elevated on a high plateau which permits of a general view of the city and the magnificent buildings surrounded as they are with beautiful trees and shrubbery, together with the beautiful homes make a scene pleasing to the most fastidious eye. The wall is to be built of dressed stone, which makes a fence almost indestructible. NEGRO MADE HIGHEST MARK IN EXAMINATION. Mr. Harry A. Luck, Census Supervisor of this district, announced yesterday, after completing the grading of the papers of the applicants for census enumerator, that only sixty out of one hundred and sixty-five in Davidson County taking the recent examination, had made a grade sufficient to secure an appointment. Eighty-five enumerators in the city and thirty in the county will be required to take the census. Mr. Luck will confer with the authorities at Washington in regard to the steps necessary to secure the full quota, and it is thought a special examination will be held for applicants who did not take the regular examination. Mr. Luck says he is satisfied those who failed on the original examination will not be given another opportunity to qualify. He is disappointed at the poor showing made by the applicants, as the examination was very simple with explicit direction in regard to the filling out of papers. The highest mark made was by a colored boy residing in Nashville. The class in which this district has been placed has not been determined, but it is believed the enumerators will receive 2 1-2 cents per name in the city and 25 cents per farmhouse. --- MUSKOGEE'S LEADING BUSINESS MAN Says There was No Difficulty in Disposing of the Negro Dolls During the Fall and Winter You will be surprised to know how many Negro dolls were really disposed of during the past season by the different merchants in the various states of the Union, said the manager of the Negro Doll Company, in speaking to the Globe reporter this week. He had just received a letter from Mr. J. W. Adams, of Muskogee, Okla., who is regarded as the leading business man in the new state of Oklahoma. He has a complete department store at 111 South second street, with a first-class line of goods. He is said to employ about 25 clerks, doing a business of $50,000 annually. Mr. Adams in writing to the Negro Doll Company, making application to retain the agency right for the Negro dolls in the city of Muskogee, said he had successfully disposed of a few hundred dolls, distributing them throughout the state. An extract from his letter to the manager of the Negro Doll Company says, "Let me say that we have never had any complaint or difficulty in disposing of the dolls. I still desire to retain the sole agency and am prepared to keep your goods, which are unquestionably attractive, especially for placing on the market to serve our patrons, in front. You have produced a well-featured, life-like imitation of the most attractive looking people in the world. In speaking about the doll business, the manager states that the company is not at all discouraged, while it cannot be expected to be on a paying basis. Mr. Adams is only one of a hundred wide-awake merchants that have contributed much towards the distributing of the dolls. Mr. W. D. Lewis, of Galveston, Tex., and Mr. S. J. Chesnutt, of Corsicana, Tex., are numbered in the class with Mr. Adams, as they have shown that they can handle the goods among their own people. He states further that they are already preparing for asplendid new line of goods for next Christmas. FROZEN TO DEATH IN EMPTY BARN. Aged Man Dead When Wagon from County Poorhouse. Reached Him. County White House reached Him. Mr. Ben White, an aged man, was frozen to death during the blizzard of Friday afternoon, February 18, in a barn at McLean's Station, four miles from Nashville on the Nolensville Turnpike. The unfortunate man was homeless. In the last severe cold spell his feet were frostbed so that he could walk only with extreme difficulty and pain. For several days past Mr. White had been in the neighborhood of McLean's Station. He had obtained his food from the kitchens of the people of the neighborhood and slept in barns. The barn in which he took shelter from the extreme cold of Friday was empty, containing no hay or fodder with which he could cover himself. During the day some of the people of the neighborhood realized that he was in a serious condition and telephoned to the county poorhouse to have the wagon from that institution sent for him. The wagon was dispatched to bring him to the poorhouse, but when it arrived the poor man was dead—frozen stiff. Saturday morning Mr. Joseph Burns, the county undertaker, went to the place and brought the body to Nashville and delivered it to the city morgue, 313 Fourth avenue, North, and it was buried in the Potter's field Monday of this week. POPULAR YOUNG MINISTER RE- GAINS HIS HEALTH. Rev. Herman Tyree, the popular young son of Bishop Evans Tyree, has recovered from the severe attack that caused him to give up his work in Texas and come to his home in this city. When he came to Nashville in December he was a very sick man and his closest friends entertained apprehension as to his recovery, but with a strong will and careful nursing, backed by youth enabled him to recuperate rapidly. He will soon return to the Lone Star State to resume his work. He will not, however, be stationed at the same place. He was formerly at Hillsboro, but will return to Cameron, Texas. His many friends in Nashville will receive with joy the news of his recovery. No. 8. Many Surprised at Great Showing. PRESIDENT PETTIFORD OF THE BANKERS' NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WANTS THE GLOBE MADE BANKERS' OFFICIAL ORGAN—PROF R. B. HUDSON SECONDS THE MOTION—CHARLES BANKS CONSIDERS EFFORT OF THE GLOBE MANAGER OF INCALCULABLE VALUE—OTHERS PRAISE BANKERS' SHOWING. Dr. H. R. Pettiford, president of the National Negro Bankers' Association and president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, Birmingham, the veteran Negro bank president of the United States, writes the following: "Mr. H. A. Boyd, Manager Globe Publishing Company, Nashville, Tenn.: "Dear Sir—I am under many obligations to you for your faithful work in securing the names and locations of Negro banks in this country. When I saw your list of banks in my mall, notwithstanding I had a large amount of it, containing a nice little check, there was nothing of which I was more proud than this list of financial institutions. I hope as banks come into existence, they will send names, locations and addresses of their officers to you, so that the country may know what we are doing in the banking line. "The Nashville Globe scored a tremendous success in presenting the most complete and correct list of Negro bankers and banking institutions that has ever been offered for the benefit of the people not acquainted with themselves," said Dr. R. H. Boyd, president of the One-Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., while Prof. W. D. Hawkins, the popular teller of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company, Nashville, declared: "It was an eye-opener to me and I find it a source of much information. I never dreamed that the Negroes were so thoroughly engaged in the banking business throughout the United States. I shall keep this directory here at our bank as our authorized guide." Mr. Charles Banks, known throughout the United States as a live business man, says: "Dear Mr. Boyd: "I have the current issue of the Globe containing information on Negro banks. It is the most complete I have seen yet, and again places us under obligations to you for the valuable service rendered." Added to these comes a letter from Northern New York: "Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 21, 1919. "My Dear Mr. Boyd: "The Globe of February 18th, with the article on Negro banks, is to hand. I must certainly compliment you on the way in which you handle the matter. To me it was a source of valuable information, and yet a surprise. Little did I dream that the race was so largely interested in banks, as to the number of banks or capital invested. I hope the article will be widely copied. I will take great pains to show it to my many friends in both races. I hope the banks named will see that by supplying you with information from time to time it will be of benefit to both them and yourself as well as bringing them more prominently before the public at large. "C. A. DICKSON" In speaking to the Globe representative, Mr. C. N. Langston, teller of the One-Cent Savings Bank of Nashville, says: "I have seen nothing in the way of a correct list that has surpassed the bank directory given in the Nashville Globe of February 18th. You have certainly surprised us and yet rendered us valuable service by this splendid array of facts and figures."

Through the efforts of some of its officers it is being placed upon a firm literary basis. On last Monday night, February 21, the club was favored with a very eloquent and beneficial address from Prof. H. A. Cameron on George Washington. The club set aside this night to celebrate the birth of this great man and was fortunate enough to secure Prof. Cameron as speaker of the occasion. His address will long be remembered by the members and friends who were present. The following was the order of procedure: Song, "Columbia," by the club; Brief facts about George Washington, Mr. James Johnson; song, "Star Spangled Banner," the club; reading, "Ship of State," Mr. Bond; selection, quartette: Messrs. Johnson, Stockard, Bond, Stockard; reading, "Farewell Address of George Washington, Mr. M. E. Jackson; address, "George Washington," Prof. H. A. Cameron; song, "America," the club; general remarks. The meeting was held at the residence of Mr. E. P. Bond, 1605 State street. At the conclusion of the program each person was served a delightful repast of the season's dainties by Mr. Bond. The club was no less fortunate on February 14, when the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln was celebrated. The most inspiring feature of this occasion was a forceful address by Mr. S. F. Williams on "Abraham Lincoln," which contained many helpful points and was most highly enjoyed. The Emancipation Proclamation was read by Mr. E. L. Kinzer. The meeting was held with Mr. C. B. Irons. A delightful menu was enjoyed by all. LADIES' CHRISTIAN AID ASSOCIATION. The Ladies' Christian Aid Association met at the home of Mrs. Susan Overton, February 7, with the president, Mrs. A. J.

Triangular League Plan of Debate Inaugurated by Leading Negro Universities. Subject: The Income Tax. April 1 is the date in Nashville, Atlanta and Washington, D. C., of a unique debate between teams from the three leading Negro universities of our country. The home team of each university will support the affirmative while its visiting team will defend the negative. There has recently been formed by these universities what is known as a Triangular League. The purpose of this plan of league is to have simultaneously in three different localities as many debates. Each institution sends two teams into the contest, one remains at home while the other visits. This form of debate is very usual among the leading colleges of the country; it so happens that this is the first time on record when there existed such an organization or was ever such an occasion among Negro educational institutions in our country. For some years past there have been a series of contests between Fisk and Atlanta and always have proved highly commendable not alone in point of public interest but for the argumentative drill given to students in the various literary clubs of these schools, while preparing for these debates. Already there have been held two trial debates at Fisk giving candidates for the teams there an opportunity to gain representation upon one of these teams. There is a committee of nine, judges before whom they must appear and display whatever ability they may possess to merit election to these teams. As a result the Carnegie Library at Fisk is no longer a fable "storehouse" of books but a veritable "workshop" of busy aspirants. We feel that each of these debates will be of usual merit owing to the extended and comprehensive study that is being given to the subject of argumentation as a course in the curricula of these schools. The winning of such a debate as these will lend added popularity to the fact that these universities are the highest exponents of educational facilities among our people. Taking place as they do in these intellectual centers of the nation there is every indication of its having an interested and appreciative public en couragement to such an enterprise along the line of student activity. SPLENDID REPORT. Editor of the Globe please allow me space to thank the wayfaring members of Mt. Olive and their friends for the splendid remembrance of their pastor while in Chicago assisting Rev. J. F. Thomas, D. D., pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church at Thirty-fifth and Dearborn, in a revival meeting which was a grand success. Dr. Thomas is a great pastor and has a great church. They have paid for their property and are now buying a fine piece of property adjoining the church, which will give them excellent space for a church site. They will then erect one of the largest church buildings in Chicago. Dr. Thomas is jubilant over their prospects of a handsome place of worship. I met the leading preachers of Chicago in their conference on Monday, the 14th. Rev. B. P. E. Gayles, the son of venerable Senator Gayles, of Greenville, Miss., read a splendid paper on "The influence and work of the Holy Spirit." Rev. T. A. McCoo, D. D., read a fine paper. The Chicago ministers are doing a great work for the Master and are wide awake on denominational questions and they are in sympathy with all the acts of the Publishing and Home Mission Boards of the National Baptist Convention. They pledged their uniting support to the cause. Sister S. Thomas, the amiable wife of Dr. J. F. Thomas, was our hostess while in Chicago. She knows how to look after preachers as few wives do. We were made to feel at home while there. Mrs. Willie English and the young ladies all contributed to our comfort. The following are the names of our members who remembered us with a Stetson hat, led by our own Mamie Harris. These are they who so willingly contributed to me for your hat; Brothers I. E.

Census Bureau's Instructions Regarding the Enumeration of Them. Washington, D. C., February 16, 1910.—What the census enumerators are required to learn regarding the place of birth of native-born and foreign-born persons, and other personal facts concerning the latter class, in taking the Thirteenth United States Census, beginning April 15 next is fully set forth in the printed instructions prepared by the United States Census Bureau to guide them in filling the population schedule. It is pointed out that all the questions relate only to conditions existing on April 15, the "Census Day." On the subject of place of birth of a native-born person the instructions state that if the person was born in the United States the enumerator is to give the State or Territory (not city or town) in which born. A person born in what is now West Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Oklahoma, should be reported as so to be born, although at the time of birth the particular region may have had a different name. Relative to conjugal condition, the enumerators are to report whether the person is single, married, widowed, or divorced. Married persons are to be asked if they have been married before. If the present marriage is the first, the fact is to be indicated by the sign "M 1;" but if it is the second or subsequent marriage, then the enumerator is to write "M 2;" meaning married more than once. The question calling for the number of years of the present marriage is declared by the Census Bureau to apply only to persons reported as married, and the answer should give the number of years married to the present husband or wife. Thus a woman who may have been married for 10 years to a former husband, but has been married only 3 years to her present husband should be returned as married 3 years. The number of years entered should be the number of completed years. A person who on April 15, the "Census Day," has been married 3 years and 11 months should be returned as married 3 years. For a person married less than 1 year, the entry is to be "0" meaning less than 1 year. In the case of persons speaking Polish or reporting that they were born in Poland, which is no longer an independent country, the enumerator is to inquire whether the birthplace was in what is now known as German Poland, or Austrian Poland, or Russian Poland, and he must write the answer accordingly as Poland (Ger.), Poland (Aust.), or Poland (Russ.). If the birthplace reported is Canada, the enumerator is required to ask whether the person is of English or French descent and write Canada (Eng.), or Canada (Fr.), according to the answer. The question calling for the year of immigration to the United States applies to all foreign-born persons, male and female, of whatever age. It should be answered, therefore, for every person whose birthplace was in a foreign country. The enumerator must enter the year in which the person came to the United States. If he has been in the United States more than once, the year of his first arrival is to be stated. The inquiry whether naturalized or alien applies only to foreign-born males 21 years of age and over. It does not apply to females, to foreign-born minors, or to any male born in the United States. If the person was born abroad, but has become a citizen either by taking out second or final papers of naturalization or through the naturalization of his parents while he was under the age of 21 years, the enumerator is to write "Na" (for naturalized.) If he has declared his intention to become an American citizen and taken out his "First papers," write "Pa." If he has taken no steps toward becoming an American citizen write "Al" (for alien. The inquiry as to the ability to speak English applies to all persons 10 years of age or over. If English is spoken the enumerator must write "English" in the proper column. If the person enumerated is not able to speak English, the enumerator is required, in such cases only, to write out the name of the language spoken, as French, German, Italian, etc. If more than one language is spoken by a person who, however, does not speak English, then the enumerator is to write the name of that language which is his native language or mother tongue. REV. FIELDS IN JACKSON. Tenn Rev. J. C. Fields, of Nashville, Tenn., preached at the Berean Baptist Church, Jackson, Tenn., last Sunday. Notwithstanding the weather was inclement, Rev. Fields was greeted by a large audience both morning and evening. A grand feature at the close of each sermon was the handshaking. It was a genuine THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1910. love-feast pure and simple. Bro. Fields will be welcome as often as he can come. MRS. PHILLIPS STILL INDIS-POSED. Mrs. Phillips, the congenial wife of Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, is not yet able to leave her room. Mrs. Phillips has been suffering with an attack of rheumatism contracted during a visit to Atlantic City, N. J., last fall. DEATH OF MR. WEBSTER: Mr. John Webster, who has been a citizen of Wartrace, Tenn., for a number of years, died at his home February 12. He was a devout Christian and a member of the church thirty-five years, and just before he died he called his wife to his bed and stated to her that he was going to leave and wanted to tell her good-by, and he was ready and willing to die. Short funeral services were held at Wartrace, and on Sunday night his remains were brought to this city for burial. Impressive services were held on Monday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Barnes, of 1411 Pearl street, by Revs. T. J. Townsend and Jones. CLIFTON SCHOOL The advanced pupils of Clifton School, West Nashville, very fittingly celebrated Washington's Birthday Tuesday. The following program was rendered: Song .....

MADAME HACKLEY HERE The students and friends of Walden University were greatly privileged to have a visit from the celebrated soprano, Mme. Azalia E. Hackley, of Philadelphia, on Friday, February 18. In the afternoon after the usual rhetorical exercises Mme. Hackley, taking the assembled school as a class, gave a vocal lesson which was inspiring and helpful. In the evening in Meharry Auditorium came a most delightful music treat. Though the singer was ill, having had a fall from a street car, and a cold with its resultant effects, yet she went through the program with voice and manner delighting the splendid audience of the young people and their friends. The Madame is known as a friend of voice students and her visits leave an encouragement and inspiration not only to the talented, but to every student to make as much as possible of opportunities for music study.

O'Hara and N. H. Patton. FEDERATION OF CLUBS. The City Federation of Clubs will meet Tuesday, March 1, at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, corner of Eighth avenue and Gay street, at 3 q'clock p. m.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1910. THE CAIRO RIOT. The attempt of a mob to lynch a man in Cairo, Ill., Thursday of last week was a most deplorable occurrence, and made doubly so when it is taken into consideration that the party whose life was sought was only charged with purse snatching. The whole affair has a bad coloring. The sheikh realized early in the day that trouble was eminent, and took steps to guard against an outbreak, but try as he would he could not get the malitia to respond, nor could he get white men, whom he says he desired, to serve as deputies, so he called for black men, and a few, though they knew they were imperiling their lives, dared to sacrifice all that the dignity of the law might be upheld. Mob violence can do only one thing, and that is destroy civilization. It is contagious and influences the minds of the weaker people to the extent that they commit deeds unheard of in a civilized country. We see signs of its affect in every part of our common country. In the city of Philadelphia we have a fair demonstration of its affects. This is a time when every news agency ought to be working for peace. The daily press particularly ought to use the utmost precaution in reporting these incidents. Every criminal should be punished for his crimes, but it is inhuman to attempt to charge the whole race with the crime of an individual. Every man is responsible for his acts and should be made to suffer for his acts when not in accord with law. The mob spirit is too prevalent now, and unless it is checked, it will grow to a desperation akin to savagery. ARE WE OUR OWN ENEMIES? After forty-seven years of freedom the American Negroes might profit by giving the question asked above serious consideration. If there are grave mistakes being made by the leading men and women of the race, and the charge is constantly being made that there are, then steps should be taken to remedy the practice. We can not believe that a sane man of the Negro race would intentionally do a thing that would in any way retard the progress of his own people, but we do believe that it is possible for men of African decent to make great blunders just as the greatest statesmen and philosophers of other races and nations have done. We should, there- --- fore, set about to looking into this matter. In the language of the great philosopher of early Christendom let us reason together. We glory in the fighting qualities of Mr. Clifford, and in him the race has a fearless advocate and defender. An attorney who would not fight to the last ditch for his client even though age awards were The Chicago Ill. An enemy, in the strict sense of the term, is one who knowingly and with harmful intent commits a deed against another person or who opposes a cause in the same spirit. It would be folly to argue or suppose that there are not false pretenders among the millions of Negroes in this country, but we are not considering individuals. The question at issue is are the rank and file of the men and women in the race imbued with a hatred that causes them to have a desire to do and say things that will work to the detriment of the whole race? If this is not true, and we do not believe it is, then are those to whom we are looking for guidance of the opinion that Negroes who have prepared themselves in the professions inferior to the men of other races who have made the same preparation? We are in a pitable plight if either condition obtains, and our most learned and far-seeing men should take up this matter and sift it to the bottom. If we are wrong let us at once set about to get on the right track. APPROACH OF SPRING. In a few days the tillers of the soil will come out from their winter quarters and hie themselves to the fields, where they will be joined in song by the sparrow, the woodchuck and the cricket with his chirp. The winter time has mellowed the soil and the surf will yield readily to the touch of the plow. There are hundreds of Negroes in this and other cities and towns in this state who have experienced the hardships of a severe winter in a city, and who can remember happy days spent on a farm. They are in a position to judge between the two conditions and now is the time for them to resolve to return to the old home to stay until the final judgment. The manner in which Mr. Ben White died a few days ago is a disgrace to any civilized community. The people who saw the old man in such a condition in that kind of weather knew that he could not survive it, and their failure to notify the proper authorities at once is little less than criminal. Again the Negro has proven that he has a fertile brain. To come out in the lead in a number of sixty in a census examination is an honor that anyone should be proud of it. A whitewash brush and a bucket of lime should appeal to every one now. Even the hens lay better when the chicken house looks bright. Senator Tillman is improving, but he will not likely ever be able to resume his rank in the Negro damnation army. If your coal bin is empty you had better see the coal man. Next Thursday will be March the third. You cannot vote unless you have paid your poll tax. Only two dollars for the privilege. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS Should Be Dismissed From Office. The imprisonment of J. R. Clifford, of Martinsburg, W. Va., by United States Commissioner T. Lemon, recently was the most high-handed and outrageous prostitution of judicial authority ever witnessed in a court of justice. And why was this prominent attorney and good citizen sent to jail? Simply because he requested that a certain witness be summoned to appear for a client who had been arrested on a trumped up charge, concocted by this very commissioner and a gang of his hirelings. Every man is entitled to his day in court, to be heard in his own defence and to have compulsory process for such witnesses as he may desire to testify in his behalf. It was this constitutional right for which Attorney Clifford was contending and which he persisted in contending for until placed behind the bars of the jail, to be released as soon as this debauched officer and his gang had carried out their nefarious crime. We glory in the fighting qualities of Mr. Clifford, and in him the race has a fearless advocate and defender. An attorney who would not fight to the last ditch for his client even though it meant imprisonment for an indefinite length of time is not worthy the name and should not be allowed to practice law in any court. This Commissioner, who, we are informed, is fit for anything except an officer of the law, should be taught a severe lesson and we believe that Mr. Clifford is them an to see it done. Brother Clifford, stick to your rights and don't let them bluff you, though, it cost you your life. The Mountain Leader, Charleston, W. Va. *** In every avenue of life where a trade or profession can be obtained and the various races are struggling for supremacy, there will be found a representative of the Afro-American race. The instance to which we refer is the 1909 graduating class of Madame Butler's beautifying parlors, located at No. 49 Broadway. Graduating in the art of dermatology with a class of ability as to workmanship was Miss Adelle Thompson, of Chicago. Standing second to no one in this class and proving to her tutor as well as to her patrons that she has thoroughly mastered the arts of this profession. Although not a Detroit girl, we, for our race pride, wish to congratulate Miss Thompson on the showing she has made. We wish her every success and we are satisfied that she will make good. She has been retained by Madame Butler on her merits.—Detroit Leader, Detroit, Mich. ** Trade with the home merchant, you will have the advantage of seeing before buying; besides, should what you get not be what it ought to be, the home merchant will make it right without the worry of a long wait, the waste of several stamps, and possibly no settlement then.—The Boley Progress, Boley, Okla. THE SHADOW AND THE SUBSTANCE. Some person in this city has imposed upon a New York exchange by sending it a letter naming a number of Afro-Americans as having been appointed to clerkships and lesser positions by Mayor Baehr, the total number being less than one-half the number of positions given our people by the previous (Democratic) administration, Mayor Tom L. Johnsons. The fact is, the present (Baehr-Maschke) city administration has not given a single clerkship to a member of the race and a number of those mentioned as having received appointments have never been given the positions promised. The only Afro-American appointed to a clerkship, and that a third-class position of the kind and in the water-works department at the city hall, has never been allowed to take the place because of his color. This is no secret, but is generally known throughout the city. To get rid of him as a clerk, a place was found for him down on the lake front in the city yard, "learning the stock" (handling pipe, etc.), and he a graduate of Western Reserve University! There are a number of others named in the New York paper as having been appointed to positions who have not fared so well as he has. As yet they have not been allowed to fill them. Why lie about such things? Why not tell the truth and shame, if possible, the Baehr-Maschke administration into treating its black contingent alt least half way decently and fairly? A few box-heaving, broom-handling, spittoon and barn-cleaning, and garbage-hunting jobs are, as Bishop Derrick well said when here a few Sundays ago, but "petty jobs at best and not worth making so much noise about." Some Negroes are so inernally "cheap" and hungry for any kind of a political job, that it seems they are willing "to lie like the very old mischief" to cover up the refusal of their "white" political masters to give them decent appointments, anything like they ought to give to the intelligent of our people. The fact is, the Baehr-Maschke city administration has given the Afro-Americans of this community the SHADOW for the SUBSTANCE in the matter of positions, and precious little of the SHADOW, up to date. The Republican party of Texas with all its hopes and aims, it would appear, has been smothered. The one man responsible for all this is Cecil A. Lyon, the present State chairman and National committeeman. Of all the states in the Union, Texas under Cecil Lyon has proven to be the least in the Republican party. A change is the remedy for the Lyon disease. —The Dallas Express, Dallas, Tex. * * * A maimed workman is as much entitled to assistance from the community he has served as a maimed soldier.

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER At 8 o'clock p. m., on the evening of Friday, March 11, in Fisk Memorial Chapel, the Junior College class of Fisk University will render Dr. Goldsmith's five-act drama, "She Stoops to Conquer." When this affair was first advertised, there was no thought of giving more than one rendition, but there is so much talk over the affair in the city and such a demand for tickets that it has been deemed wise to repeat it. So, accordingly, at 2:30 on the following afternoon there will be a second rendition of the drama. Much publicity has been given to the matter both by the advertising authority and by loyal patrons; a noble purpose lies back of the movement and this fact will be appeacled by many, but this is truly a dramatic effort, and it is hoped that it will be considered on its merit. Taking into consideration the favorable circumstances under which it is to be rendered, many have already taken it on its face value. We only ask our worthy citizens to attend, and we sure that they will be highly pleased and benefited. LOST BROTHER FOUND Mrs. Ann M. Long and brother, Mr. Corry C.

(Buster) Hart, Jr., the little two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hart, of 1726 Jefferson street, is not likely to have a cold any more this winter. One day this week his mother had a fresh bottle of vasalene out of which she had been treating one of the children. She set the bottle down and went into another room, and when she returned she looked for the bottle of vasalene, but only found an empty bottle. She asked the young fellow if he could tell anything about it and she stood speechless when he told her laughingly that he had eaten it up. When last seen by a Globe representative "Buster" was looking fat and greasy, and did not seem to be affected in the least by his new stunt. Commenting upon the singing of the songs in our Folk Songs No.1. by a male quartette DR. HENRY E. KREBBIEL, "Dean of American Critics" says:- "A concert-goer might live a lifetime and never hear such beautiful homogeneity of tone as that which they produce, nor such euphony, perfection of unance and precision. Save for its vital human quality, which lifts it above all musical products, this harmony sounds like that of a well-tuned organ." This recognition puts our Folk Songs side by side with the world's greatest musical achievements. This music is suitable for the parlor, the school, the church. SEND 25c. FOR SAMPLE COPY.

Significant Letters Between the Head of the Woolen Trust and the Clerk of the Finance Committee when the Wool Schedule Was Being Framed. North to Whitman. Washington, April 4, 1897. Now about the tariff. I cannot, after what has been said to me in reference to my confidential relations with the committee, keep you posted as I would like to do. But if I find that it is desirable that you should come on here, I will telegraph you that the situation requires attention, and you will doubtless have no trouble in finding out what is the matter. In the meanwhile, let me ask this question: Should tops at a 24-cent line have the same compensatory duty as yarns at a 30-cent line? Should tops at a 24-cent line have a compensatory duty of of 27 1-2 cents? Putting that value line so low was unfortunate, in view of the appearance it presents of making the compensatory duty alone more than 100 per cent. I am aware that the same thing occurs in cloths at the 40-cent line; but this tops is a new paragraph and will get closer scrutiny on that account. I do not want you to intimate to any senator that I have written you on this subject, but to consider whether you cannot, when the time comes, suggest raising the value line in the top paragraph, to meet this kind of criticism. I am well, though I am kept at work from 10 a. m. until midnight. There is an immense amount of detail, and I have not sufficient clerical assistance, as yet. I am the only person whom the committee allows in its meetings, and it makes it very hard, but I expect to pull through all right. Whitman to North. Boston, April 6, 1897. My Dear Mr. North: I have received your letter of the 4th, for which I am obliged. I suppose there is nothing for me to do but accept the situation as regards your keeping me posted, although I had supposed that, in reference to the interests you represent, you would be at liberty to communicate freely with your associates.—Richard W. Child, in Everybody's. WHAT'S IN McCLURE'S: McClure's Magazine for March contains a remarkably dramatic story of the Cherry Mine disaster by Edith Wyatt.

Fort delivered his initial sermon Sunday, February 20, at 11 a. m. at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North. Prof. Fort was graduated with the degree of B. A. from Fisk University in 1894. Since that time he has labored faithfully and zealously for the uplifting of his people being connected with some of the best schools of the state, both as a teacher and principal. He is at present principal of the high School at Martin, Tenn., and the Supreme Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the state of Tennessee. Several distinguished divines were present. Among them were Bishop C. H. Phillips, Rev. Dr. G. W. Gates, President of Fisk University, and Dr. L. G. Jordan. The choir rendered several of its choicest selections. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Gates. The speaker was then introduced by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D. Prof. Fort took for his text: "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance" (Matt. 3:18.) Theme: "Good fruit essential to spiritual life." The sermon in part was as follows: "Real life presents itself not in words alone, but in fruits. The most conscious conviction of man is the conviction of the heart." Then said the speaker: "There must be more open and free-hearted laboring and giving. Careless giving is not acceptable to God, but strive to bring forth fruit. God requires the best that we have." The speaker urged the young men to seek the highest standard of Christianity, because that is the demand of the hour. Application of right principles in living promotes the cause of humanity. "I want to demand of you true evidence of real Christianity in your own homes. I admonish every young man and woman to bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. "Live for the spiritual advancement of the church. The church of to-morrow will demand clean, pure and consecrated men as leaders. Fruits are the evidence of faith. Put God before you, asking his guidance in both social and spiritual life, thereby live a moral life. It is a pity to behold in our churches to-day such a small degree of true Christianity. Hold up that kind of Christianity that will make the world have faith in your life." Then cried the speaker, in eloquent and inspiring words: "A life that brings forth fruit meet for repentance presents to the world that kind of Christianity that must fill the earth with righteousness, as the waters cover the face of the great deep." Dr. S. S. Caruthers sang a solo and Dr. Gates, of Fisk University, was introduced and spoke a few encouraging words. Rev. L. G. Jordan, Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, was also introduced and made a strong plea for Africa. After a liberal collection was taken for missions the vast congregation stood and Bishop C. H. Phillips pronounced the benediction. NOTICE.

Get Your Easter Programs Now, as They Are Ready. All Sunday-schools, which are planning to have Easter exercises during the coming Easter, which will be observed on March 28th, should get their Easter programmes at once, so that the children will have sufficient time to learn new recitations, new smuic, new dialogues and new declamations. We have prepared for the benefit of the thousands of Sunday-schools which are advancing rapidly and which demand better services at all times first-class, high-grade literature, a complete, well-prepared Easter Program in bright colors with music for the occasion.

If you are undecided as to whether you will like them or not, before ordering, send us 5 cents for a sample copy. National Baptist Publishing Board, R. H. Boyd, Secretary, 523 Second avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. All Sunday-schools · in Nashville that will send their representative to the Publishing House, can see a copy of the Easter Greeting, and then determine whether they would like to use them in this coming Easter. SUNDAY-SCHOOL MASS-MEETING SUNDAY-SCHOOL MASS-MEETING What is conceded to be a real, model Sunday-school mass-meeting was held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. The meeting, as stated by the promoters, Revs. T. J. Lewis and John Ridley, Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, respectively, under the direction of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church officers and pastor, was for the purpose of stimulating the Sunday-school Movement Idea in Nashville. Prominent church workers from the various churches throughout the city had been invited to participate in this special meeting. And then, too, visitors from other cities were present and lent their hearty approval to the forward movement in the Sunday-school work which seems to have been the slogan. A special program was rendered. The presiding officer of the evening was Rev. Lewis assisted by Rev. Ridley. The meeting was opened with congregational singing from the celebrated Celestial Showers. Dr. R. H. Boyd read the morning Sunday-school lesson for Scripture reading, while Rev. A. O. Kenney, of Roger Williams University, offered prayer. Then Mrs. Hynes brought tears to the eyes of the audience with a beautiful solo, "The Sinner and the Song." Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor of the Spruce Street Baptist Church, was then introduced as catechizer of the lesson from the International Series, The Golden Rule. For thirty minutes the entire audience was given a splendid opportunity to get an idea of what could be brought out of the Sunday-school lesson when the proper interest and care were taken. It was a real, live meeting. Questions were propounded and answered to the entire satisfaction of all, and the consensus of opinion seems to be the evening was helpfully and well spent. An enjoyable part of the program was the double quartette, composed of Misses Brooks, Henderson, Clark and Mrs. Thorne, Messrs. Harris, Kelly, Ridley and Gray, who rendered "Princes Awake," that favorite of all anthems, which seems to grow more popular upon each rendition. The entire audience was arranged in classes and each class under its teacher or assistant turned in its collection as on Sunday morning. While this was being done Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of the Foreign Mission Board, addressed the mass-meeting on foreign mission, touching pathetically upon the life of Dr. Bouey, and then Mrs. A. E. Reynolds, Secretary of the Woman's American Baptist Society, spoke, thus closing an evening of real Sunday-school work. WALDEN UNIVERSITY The presidents of the Freedman's Aid Society schools will assemble at Walde nUniversity from the 5th to the 8th of March, inclusive. On Sunday evening, March 6th, the Cantata entitled "The Holy City," by A. R. Gaul, will be rendered at the Auditorium. ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM We have just received a copy of Easter Greeting published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, which concern gets out what is known as the Concert Quarterly four times a year. Easter Greeting this year comes up to former efforts in every respect. It is a sixteen-page periodical printed in two colors—a beautiful brown and a sparkling blue. The frontispiece shows the risen Savior with uplifted hands. Inside on page one is the Easter program and order of exercises. There are twenty-one numbers and each seems to fill a place of its own. Beautiful designs of Easter lilies set the entire production off in a neat and tasty manner. There are many appropriate recitations and readings suitable for Easter exercises. Most of the music used in this production is by the late William Rosborough and Prof. J. Harrison Carter. In keeping with the day, Mr. Carter offers a very appropriate selection entitled, "Christ Arose and Left the Grave." It seems that the Publishing Board has made quite a success with its Concert Quarterly. MEHARRY NOTES The weekly address to the Y. M. C. A. was delivered by the Rev. R. T. Weatherby, of Murfreesboro. His text was taken from Matt, 6:33. "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven," using as his subject the following: "The growing consciousness of an inverted programme." This gentleman has had a distinguished experience in the work of the Y. M. C. A., having acted as General Secretary in Atlanta, Ga., before entering upon his present charge, Mr. Weatherby's subject was liberally handled. At the close of the discourse a solo was rendered by Miss Gertrude Lewis entitled, "Rock of Ages." Miss Lewis is the star of the university and merits this title by virtue of her classical expression, etc. For this beautiful solo she was presented with a book with the compliments of Dr. D. S. Molen, B. S., D. D., of Fort Worth, Texas. The musicale on Friday evening was in every respect a classical one. The auditorium was filled to overflowing, every reserved seat was taken and the demand was so great that seats had to be created. J. A. Gregory, Ph., Class '09, has arranged for opening a drug store in Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Gregory paid a visit to his Alma Mater on his way to his new field of labor. Mr. G. Hamilton Francis, who had been indisposed during the past week, is again at his post. Rev. Samuel Cottrell, of the Sophmore Medical Class, is slightly indisposed. The drama entitled "Strife," in aid of the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital, will be rendered at the auditorium on Friday evening at 7:30 p. m. and on Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. As a hospital in our midst is a need of the hour, the generous and considerate public of this city is expected to do its best on both dates. The young ladies of Fisk University who were observing the George Washington birthday visited our buildings in large numbers on Tuesday, under the direction of Miss T. Smith --- TOLD HIS FAVORITE STORY EVEN IN THE JAWS OF DEATH. Edith Wyatt in the March McClure's tells the story of the twenty men who were rescued after being entombed for a week in the Cherry Mine: "The only food of the twenty was a little lard-oil, some of the oil known as 'miner's sunshine', and the tobacco they happened to have in their pockets. Black damp deadens hunger for some constitutions. Consequently, a few of the men hardly suffered at all from starvation. Others suffered torments. Mr. Waite had not yet eaten his dinner when the fire broke out, so he was a meal behind the others and suffered proportionately. He endured torments "One day he told them casually that he wished he had a bunch of ba- nanas he had eaten once in Chicago. Everybody instantly begged him not to talk of them. But it was a favorite story of Mr. Waite's and he went on to tell how he had heard an Italian vender calling, 'Bananas, ten cents a dozen.' He gave the Italian ten cents, and the man counted the fruit into a bag—'Two, four, six, ten, twelve.' When Mr. Waite opened the bag there were only ten bananas, but he ate them all. At this every one groaned again and begged him not to mention the bananas. "Mr. Waite smiled the gentlest, most humorous smile in the world as he told me of this—certainly a remarkable instance of masculine resolution in telling a favorite story, even in the very jaws of death."

While relatives here were preparing for its reception word was received that it had been taken to Chattanooga. Mrs. Martha Sloan (once Merriman) has not seen her husband since the day previous to the death, which was the 7th inst. Then he was in the best of health. It is reported that steps are being taken to "turn up" the ones who evidently stole the body of Mr. Eb. Sloan. Mrs. Sloan has the sympathy of her many friends. O, such an untimely end! A company, including some of the members and friends of the A. M. E. Church, went to the parsonage recently and sang, "There's a stranger at the door," etc., led by Prof. H. B. Douglass, when the pastor, Rev. Mr. Boddle, had arranged himself to open the door. What a storm passed through his house! Mr. and Mrs. Boddle were indeed surprised. The result of the storm is obvious. The sacred concert at the Mt.

Johnson entertained the Fleur-De-Lis Art Club Thursday night, February 17. Despite the cold weather, many were present. After the business was over Mrs. Cameron sang a solo which was sweet as well as beautiful. Mrs. Vassar read a paper, "Women's Rights," which was thoroughly interesting and enjoyable. Next was a talk on cooking by Mrs. Harris. The social hour was then in order. Each member wore a costume representing some common character. A paper and pencil were given all and each was to guess what character the others represented. The one guessing the greatest number received a prize. Mrs. Cameron won the first prize and Mrs. Moore the booby prize. Both prizes were in china. The host served punch during the evening. A two-course repast was served in the dining-room. The honored guests were Mesdames F. G. Smith, A. L. Pinkston, Durant Houston, Bright, Crump, of Chicago, Misses Bright and Phillips. The members of the club present were Mesdames Cameron, Hadley, Harris, Hart, Kealing, Moore, Price, Singleton and Vassar. The next regular meeting will be with Mrs. Kealing March 3, at three o'clock. --- 8 JOE GANS WANTS TO FIGHT NEW CHAMPION. Baltimore, February 23.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, last night issued a challenge to Ad Wolgast for a twenty-round contest, to be fought anywhere the champion wishes and under any conditions he may name. Gans said he would go to New York next week and post $1,000 to bind the agreement if accepted, and that he would also make a side bet of $5,000. "This thing is not a question of money, however," the former champion added, "and I want it understood that I believe I can lick Wolgast." Gans declared he was in good physical condition and was confident that he could get back to his old-time form. PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES. DUGLAUS LODGE NO.21. CINCINNATI, ORIO. PLATE 1.

THE TRIANGULAR LEAGUE DEBATE. Third Trial Debate. On Thursday evening, February 24, there took place in Livingstone Hall Chapel the third of the series of trial debates being held preparatory for the big event in April between Howard, Atlanta and Fisk Universities. Already there have been two of these trial contests and each one proved quite satisfactory and interesting. Those participating in those debates are the candidates selected to represent Fisk upon the two teams she is to send out in this triangular league event. Among the important business developments of recent date is an interesting communication from Howard University suggesting an interpretation of the question, that might be agreed upon by all three contesting universities in this debate. Such an arrangement will prevent all possibility of discussion about meanings of words and will so condition things that the debate will in all the essential features of argumentation be a success. The selection of judges is yet to be completed. This means a deal of careful scrutiny on the part of the Advisory Boards, so that men fully competent and unbiased may be secured to act in that capacity. Already a deal of public interest is manifest outside of Fisk and every indication is apparent for making this event a grand success. SPRINGFIELD NOTES. Mrs. D. L. Dunlap, of Princeton, Ky., who is very sick, is now with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry, who reside on the Adairville road. Mrs. Molly Hutchison died at her home, two miles west of Springfield, several days ago of consumption. She was buried at the Lend-a-hand Cemetery at Springfield. Mrs. Ewing Johns, who has been sick for several weeks, is able to be out again. Mrs. Junius Smith is on the sick list. The two little girls of Mr. and Mrs. John Offort, Beatrice and Lovie, six and eight years old respectively, died Saturday morning almost at the same time. One died of consumption and the other of pneumonia. An interesting meeting of the Robertson County Teachers' Institute was held at the First Baptist Church Saturday. Mrs. Bulena Payne spent Sunday in Nashville. Mrs. Irene Davis, of Nashville, is visiting Mrs. Bulena Payne. Mr. Robert Hutchison, of Clarksville, is visiting friends here. Mrs. Peggie Pepper, who has been visiting in Nashville for several days, has returned home. OFFICERS INSTALLED. The officers of the Missionary and Educational Union were installed February 13th, at 3:30 p. m. at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor. Quite a gathering was present. Mrs. M. H. Flowers made the introductory remarks; Rev. J. C. Fields, master of ceremonies, and was highly enjoyed by all present. An excellent program was rendered The officers are Mrs. M. L. Cottrell, President; Mrs. Mamie Stubblefield, Vice President; Mrs. C. E. Dickerson, Secretary; Mrs. Louise Driver, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. A. T. Battle, Treasurer. BANK DIRECTORY. (Continued from Page 1.) Prof. R. B. Hudson, the Cashier of the Penny Savings Bank, of Selma, Ala., writes to offer the suggestion that the Nashville Globe be declared the official organ of the Negro banks throughout the United States. It seems that Mr. Hudson and Dr. Pettiford, the president, were thinking along the same line. Mr. W. T. Allen, of New York City, says: "Send me the issue of the Nashville Globe of February 18, containing the list of Negro banks." Mr. Charles W. Philmore, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., says: "Send me five copies of the Globe containing the directory of Negro banks," while E. M. Griggs, president of the Mechanics' and Farmers' Bank, of Palestine, Tex., says: "I have seen the matter referred to about Negro banks in the Nashville Globe. It must be genuine and authentic; send me twelve copies." Scores of other letters are coming in daily, which convince the Globe management of the real appreciation of the efforts put forth by the company in getting up this statistical report, which will be followed up from time to time as fast as the banks are organized. Just as soon as the Negro bank of Montgomery is formally opened and the new bank of Birmingham which is being pushed by Dr. U. G. Mason swings wide its doors the facts will be given in this paper. JUDGE LINDSEY ALLEGES UN- SPEAKABLE STORIES Were Fabricated in Efforts to Intimidate him. Also That This Method Was Used by Corporation Agents on Jerome, A few days before this, while I was at luncheon in a restaurant, Mr. R. D. Thompson—the lawyer under whom Gardener and I served our apprenticeship—came to the table at which I sat and gave me a warning from Gardener. If (Gardener had said) I dared to say anything publicly that would reflect on him or any of his friends, they would "spend a thousand dollars in circulating a story" that would ruin me in the estimation of the women, and end my career. "Well," I said, "what the deuce does he mean?" Mr. Thompson replied: "I don't know. He didn't tell me any more than that—and he said I'd better tell you, because they believe you're going before the House at the hearing on these bills to make some statements reflecting on him—something that he did, which you claim is the animus behind these bills." I knew, then, that Gardener referred to the visit he had made to me in my home and his request that I should "job" the Springer election contest for him. I went straight to Gardener's office to demand what he meant by his threat. He was not in. I wrote him a letter and told him that if he knew anything reflecting on my character it was his duty to make it public, and I released him from every confidential or friendly obligation to conceal it. He wrote in reply that he knew nothing against me, and he denied having made the threat. This was all very well. But he continued to circulate his slanders. He poured them into the car of Senator William L. Clayton, for example; and Senator Clayton repeated them to me. They came to the knowledge of my brother and my friends. It was evident that the Beast had turned polecat again. I went to the newspapers and gave them the whole story of Gardener's attempts to influence me into jobbing the election cases, and I challenged him to substantiate any of his slanderous charges against me. In other words, I set the dogs of publicity upon the Beast and drove it to its burrow. Do you think I was done with it, then? Gentle reader, you do not know the animal. Slander is one of its choiceest and most effective weapons. Come to Denver to-day and hear some sweet and motherly little woman, at her dinner table, among her children, tell you: "Yes, I voted for Judge Lindsey—in spite of his private life." Abominable stories about me, circulated privately, are privately believed, despite the fact that there is not a corporation crook in Denver who would not dance with joy if he could find the slightest evidence on which to base a charge of immorality against me. My private life has been gone over with a microscope. I have been followed by detectives. Faces have peered in my library window at night when I have been sitting there, talking with friends. My chambers in the Court House have been broken into, my desk drawers forced open, and my letter files searched. Bribes have been offered the officers of my court to find or manufacture evidence of my moral turpitude. Nothing has been found on which the harpies could build even a presumption of guilt that would endure the light. And yet the slanders circulate! I have proof, too, that they are deliberately circulated. In 1904, when I was opposing the election of "Len" Rogers and District Attorney Lindsey, Paul Thieman, of the Post, came upon a young brood of slanderous lies that had been hatched out at the Democratic Club. He spoke to a politician about them. "You know Judge Lindsey," he said. "You don't really believe these stories, do you?" "No," the politician replied, "but we've got to get the little — some way. There'll be a lot of people believe them." And he described how some sensitive reformer in San Francisco—whose name I have forgotten—had been overwhelmed by just such calumnies. If this method of attack were peculiar to the Beast in Denver, I should not refer to it here. But do you know what stories are told of District Attorney Jerome in New York, of Senator LaFollette in Wisconsin, of Governor Folk in Missouri, of Heney in San Francisco, and even President Roosevelt? O you citizens of the United States—who are "not fit to govern" yourselves—the manufacture and circulation of these stories is one of the operations of the powers that govern you.—Judge Lindsey in Everybody's. Mrs. J. R. Fraser, of Athens, Ala., is in the city visiting. Mrs. Fraser is the guest of Mrs. Dowell, of 10 Filmore street. Miss Elizabeth Margan delightfully entertained the club February 21, reception hours being from four to six. The president presided over the meeting; song and prayer by Mrs. Holman. Roll was called and each answered with a quotation. Monthly dues were collected. This being the club's first anniversary, and owing to the lateness of the hour the program was omitted, and the time was consumed in transacting new business and electing a few new officers for the ensuing year. Miss Nance was received as a new member of the club. Miss Morgan served the club an elaborate menu. Those to enjoy this occasion were Mrs. Ransom, Mrs. Holman, Mrs. Ridley, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Cynthia Boyd, Mrs. Nance, Miss Woods, Miss Smith, Miss M, E. Snowden. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Thomas Morgan, of Sylvan street, on March 7th. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY _NOTES. A number of readers of The Globe have seen surely the post cards of ROGER WILLIAMS with a pennant in the colors of the college unfurled to the breeze. A new pair of Fairbank's Scales has been put in our store-room for the convenience, etc., of the institution. One student finds that he has gained ten pounds in the last three months. March rhetoricals are rapidly approaching—Tuesday evening, March 8. The second Academics, numbering twenty-six, will stand before the footlights that evening. The readers of The Globe and others are invited. We very much regret the temporary absence of our Miss Freeman, who is at present at home in Antioch, Tenn., due to a sprained ankle; and Mr. T. M. Davis, who left for his home last Sunday night, West Point, Miss., on account of the serious illness of his mother. He is hoping to return soon. Principal W. S. Thompson, of Meigs High School, accompanied by his wife, addressed the teachers and student-body last Friday afternoon. It was practical. He enlarged upon the trite but true remark that "blessed is he who expecteth nothing for verily he shall not be disappointed," and thus urged the student-body to prepare themselves the best now that they may be able to stand alone out in the world. It was a treat to us all to have, from time to time, the following visitors: Mrs. Grimes, of Cedar Hill, the mother of our teacher, Miss Grimes, and her grandson, Charles D.; Dr. Allen Nicholson, of Mobile, Ala., formerly of Columbia; Madam Azalla Hackley, the famous soprano singer who starred at the Meharry Auditorium the evening before, at which were present five of our teachers and a number of our students. She very graciously met and addressed our teachers and student body in our chapel, though suffering evidently from pleurisy brought on, doubtless, by exposure in our sunny South. She was accompanied by Miss Mamle E. Braden, of Walden, and Mrs. J. C. Napler, of this city; Rev. Underwood, of Shelbyville, and Mr. McGhee, of Huntington, W. Va. Principal E. W. Benton, of Haddley School, comes next in our Friday afternoon lecture course. The students see more largely its meaning since Prof. Fort, of Martin, spoke to them last Sunday night from the text, "The Master is here and calleth for thee." In connection with our two-chair barben shop, a students' pressing club is now fitted up and is now in full force. The Ministers' class is now hard at work on Broadus Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, in addition to their study of the Epistle to the Romans. Mrs. M. C. Reynolds, the representative of the Women's Baptist Home Mission Society of America, spent the entire day last Tuesday with us on the campus here, during the afternoon of which she delivered an address of forty minutes in our chapel before us all, as a basis for which she used the words of the Master, "I must do the work of him who sent me while it is yet day," and from it drew out and enlarged beautifully upon the three-fold work that is due rightly to characterize our lives, of the Hand, Head and Heart. Rev. H. L. Morehouse, D. D., Corresponding Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York, will be here next Monday with a view, doubtless, to the looking over of our campus and its buildings, etc., which in a large measure have been made possible through his agency and that of the Society in co-operation with the colored Baptists of Tennessee, the Alumni and students of Roger Williams and their friends. At what hour he may deliver an address before us we are not advised. The afternoon of Monday, however, at say 2 o'clock, we are hoping and our friends are cordially invited to see and hear him.
