NASHVILLE GLOBE. SPEAKS TO THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT FISK Many of the Leading Citizens Also Present. INTRODUCTION BY PRESIDENT GATES—SUPREME DESIRE OF RIGHT-MINDED FOLKS IS THAT RIGHT IDEAS AND HIGH IDEALS SHALL PREVAIL, WAS KEY NOTE OF COL. BRYAN'S ADDRESS—IN A MASTERLY MANNER HE HOLDS HIS AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND — RAPT ATTENTION GIVEN TO EVERY WORD. Col. W. J. Bryan's visit to Fisk University, the largest of Nashville's great institutions for the education of Negroes at 10 o'clock last Saturday morning was one of the notable events of his stay in the city, and his address delivered before the students of that institution, couched in his characteristic tense, nervous, homely words, was one of the strongest heard from the lips of the distinguished Nebraskan on this or any previous visit to Nashville. He had an audience that was appreciative and sympathetic, and it is doubtful, if, in his whole career as a public man, he has delivered a more effective address or one more potent of good results. Col. Bryan himself was the audience—and a thoroughly delighted audience, too—while the Fisk singers rendered several characteristic Negro songs. Leaving Vanderbilt University shortly after 9:30 o'clock, the Bryan party proceeded down Broadway to Seventeenth Avenue and on that avenue to Fisk University. President George A. Gates, in cap and gown, stood on the front steps of the chapel building and greeted Col Bryan and the members of his party as they alighted from their cars and conducted them to the platform of the chapel. The large chapel was filled with students of the institution and prominent Negroes of the city. Immediately after the members of the party were seated Prof. John W. Work, leader of the celebrated Fisk singers, stepped in the front of the platform and, with his chorus out in the body of the chapel, sang "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." Col. Bryan was charmed with the peculiarly beautiful music and, at his request the chorus sang "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." President Gates introduced Col. Bryan in a few words. He said: "The supreme desire of all right-minded folks is that right ideas and high ideals shall prevail. For any teacher, preacher, leader to help toward that end is supreme honor. To see those principles for which one has wrought by pen and voice, coming into recognition, endorsement and embodiment into laws must be far purer satisfaction for the high-minded man than formal temporary triumphs of parties or personalities. We are honored in having Mr. Bryan with us." Col. Bryan began by expressing his pleasure at coming to the institution and of meeting again its head, a man whom he had known in other fields of labor. "And," he continued, "I appreciate hearing you. It is a great gratification to one who loves music to hear that peculiar music that has given to your people a place in the world of music. I am obliged to you for giving me this illustration of the genius you have for making melody." Continuing, Col. Bryan said that he is always anxious to say something that those who listen may think worth remembering. The idea, he declared, is the most important thing in a life. One never knows, he said where he is going to get an idea or what it is going to do with him. An idea may revolutionize the world. The Ideal Controls. "If I could look into the hearts of two men here," he declared, "two men of equal opportunities, and see what their ideals are. I could tell with reasonable accuracy what they will accomplish." He said that it is not environment or preparation that makes the man, but the ideal. Mr. Bryan then set about outlining two ideals in the matter of education, and second as to the use of it. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911. He declared that he believes in universal education, the open school door in front of every child, and declared that this is the growing conception of education. He then discussed the advance along educational lines recently made in Japan, China, India and Turkey. But, he declared, it is not sufficient that people should have education. He thinks that education is not advantageous or even desirable unless it brings a true conception of life. If a man is going to do harm rather than good after he is educated, it is not right that a state or an institution should equip him with weapons to be turned against society. The right conception of education, he declared, is not that it raises a man or a woman above work, but that it makes the man or woman capable of doing a larger work, makes him ashamed not to give back to society by his work the reward of what has been given him. "What," inquired Col. Bryan, "is to be the result of general education unless it brings an appreciation of the honorable character of service?" He quoted from Socrates that honor is to be had only at the end of great labor and then said that Christ expressed the same thought with more force when he said, "Let him that would be chiefest among you be the servant of all." Service Measure of Succtss. Service, said Col. Bryan, is the measure of success. A person is great in proportion as he serves. The hope for the future, he said, is that Christ's conception of labor shall be the conception that shall rule the world. He said that too often the right conception is not got early enough. "As we approach the end of life," he said, "the things that seemed so large to us in the beginning dwindle into insignificance, and those things that we did not notice at all become as the mountain side. The ambitions that bothered us and the greed that hampered us fall away and, when the time comes to say farewell, we do not contemplate the money left but the service done. "And we are not required to do great things, but just the simple duty that lies before us. You are here at this institution contracting a debt that you must pay, and you will not pay it even in part unless you put your shoulders, broadened by the raining you have received here, under heavier loads; unless you reach down to the humblest of your people and try to lift them up to enjoy as much of life as possible." At the conclusion of the address the chorus sang, "Walk Together, Children." The audience stood as Col. Bryan and party left the chapel. From Fisk University, leaving at 10:45, the party proceeded to the capitol where Col. Bryan was recieved in the Governor's office by a committee from the two branches of the Legislature. JACOB SCHIFF IMPRESSED WITH TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 18.—Jacob H. Schiff, head of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, the New York banker and philanthropist, who, with a part of friends came from New York to visit Tuskegee Institute, spent two days in riding about the grounds, visiting the shops and the farms. In a short address to the students in the chapel last night, Mr. Schiff said: "I have long admired the work of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his co-laborers. But now that I have seen it, I cannot find words with which to express my surprise and gratification. It is far beyond anything that I had expected to see. As I walked through your grounds to-day my heart filled with pride to find what had been accomplished by a single man in so short a time. It is an object lesson to me which I shall never forget, and I am only sorry that I waited until the evening of my life to see what has been done here. It has been an inspiration to me, and when I return home I intend to send my son and my grandchildren here that they may get the same inspiration that I have." He said it was a mistake to assume, as had been so long the case, that work was a curse. "Work," he said, "has now become the blessing of the world. There is no greater happiness than that obtained through honest work. I do not pity you for your hardships; I envy you for the opportunities you have here." Mr. Schiff's party, which consists of General James H. Wilson, Mr. Lee Arnstein, secretary of the Borough of Manhattan, and Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton Institute, Virginia, left Saturday night upon the special car in which they are traveling for Montgomery, and from there they will go to Jacksonville, Fla. GOV. GLASSGOGK West Virginian Speaks to Negroes Who Call. SAYS HE WILL EXECUTE THE LAWS IRRESPECTIVE OF INDIVIDUALS OR RACES—WILL SEE THAT THE RICH, THE POOR, THE BLACK, THE WHITE, ARE PROTECTED IN THEIR RIGHTS—DELEGATION OF NEGROES HIGHLY REPRESENTATIVE—J. M. ELLIS SPOKESMAN—DO NOT CONDONE WRONGDOING. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 18.—"In my capacity as Governor of this State, I can know no color nor creed. I am sworn to execute the laws, and to see that all our citizens, white and black, rich and poor, are protected in all the rights guaranteed them by the constitution and the statutes," said Governor Glasscock last night in his reception room to a delegation of representative colored men from various sections of the State, who called to pay their respects and to express their appreciation of his successful efforts to check mob violence. In the delegation were State Librarian J. C. Gumer, who arranged for its reception; J. R. Jefferson, principal of the Parkersburg colored school; J. M. Ellis, former member of the House of Delegates; J. S. Noel, of the Republican State committee; R. W. White, of the McDowell Times; C. E. McGhee, superintendent of the Colored Orphans Home; L. O. Wilson, grand chancellor of the colored Knights of Pytumas; H. B. Hundley, grand master of the colored Masons; D. C. Hunter, grand sachem of the Negro Red Men; Byrd Prillerman and Charles E. Mitchell, president and business manager, respectively, of the West Virginia Colored Institute; J. M. Hazlewood, J. H. Taylor, and Dr. R. L. Jones. J. M. Ellis acted as spokesman for the delegation, expressing briefly the high esteem in which the Governor is held by the Negro citizens of the State. He said his people do not condone wrongdoing; that they, the great majority of them, are doing all in their power to raise the masses to higher standards of morality, and to elevate them to loftier planes in all those things which make for good citizenship. It was his reference to the protection given by the Governor to black men accused of crime, and the fair trials made possible by that protection, that evoked from His Excellency the remarks quoted above and other of similar import. He expressed himself as being especially pleased that the colored people had not flooded him with petitions to temper the justice of the courts in a single instance where members of their race had been convicted of criminal assault, and he assured his hearers that, while they would get no special favors at his hands, he would exert all the powers of his office to the end that they had every other inhabitant of the State get a square deal. DEATH OF MRS. LULA M. JACKSON Live Oak, Fla., February 21, 191.—"Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Lula M. Jackson died at my home today. Will ship body to Kentucky tomorrow. (Rev. G. P. McKinney." The above telegram tells us of the sad intelligence of the death of one of the workers of the Women's Auxiliary Convention, which is a department of the National Baptist Convention. Mrs. Jackson was working under Mrs. N. H. Burroughs and her organization, with headquarters at Louisville, Ky. She had been in the employment of the Women's Board for sometime. She has traveled extensively throughout the United States, having visited Nashville on several occasions. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning, February 26, will be: "Is It Right to Dance? If So, Why So? If Not, Why Not?" INTERESTING MEETINGS AT ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. The meetings at St. John A. M. E. Church have been full of interest during the week. On Sunday morning the election of Sunday-school officers took place. The weather was very inclement but a large crowd was present. The election resulted as follows: D. A. Hart and A. G. Ferguson, superintendents; Edward T. Percy Whittaker, out door superintendents; Miss Mattie Roy Scott, secretary; Miss Mary Ewing, assistant secretary; W. B. Reed, Treasurer; Claude Toney and Wilbur Buchanan, librarians; Miss Ernestine Cross, organist; Miss Mamie Lou Wells, chorister. Most of the officers were reelected unanimously, and where a change was made it was due to the absence of the old officers or according to their wishes. On Tuesday night the teachers were elected by the Board as follows: Class No. 1; R. L. Watkins; No. 2, Mrs. Lucy Harwell; No. 3, A. G. Ferguson; No. 4, Miss Lizzie Dickerson; No. 5, Mrs. A. E. Pepper; No. 6, Clarence Harwell; No. 7, W. B. Reed; No. 8, Sister Murphy and Miss Myrtle Buford; No. 9, Mrs. Scruggs; No. 10, Mrs Lena Hughes; No. 11, A. W. W. Upshaw; No. 12, Rev. S. L. Howard. Plans were made for the election of other teachers in the near future. It was also agreed that the Home Department be set in operation at once. The Out Dors Superintendency is a new feature of the work that is attracting attention. Mr. Whittaker is a young man full of energy and believes that he can make it as prominent as any one. Mr Sherman Webster is secretary. The class meeting followed the Sunday-school Board meeting. A large crowd was out, and many visitors also. Some members had come as far as fifteen or twenty miles in the country. The feature of the class meeting was the election of a delegate to the electoral college that will convene in Murfreesboro on the 17th of May. Two candidates were in the race, namely, M. V. Buford and D. A. Hart. These candidates had met two weeks previous and the election ended in a deadlock. On Tuesday night the rivalry was very spiritful, each side claiming victory. After services were over the tellers were selected and the balloting began without any preliminaries. The final result was: D. A. Hart, 58; M. V. Buford, 34. Hart was declared elected amid great applause. He was showered with congratulations by those who voted against him as well as his supporters. Mr. A. G. Ferguson, a prominent young man in the church, was elected alternate. Mr. Hart is prominently mentioned as a delegate to the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, that will convene in Kansas City in May, 1912. PRESIDENT HALE IN TOWN. Last Saturday and Sunday Prof. W. J. Hale, President of the Normal and Agricultural School, which is to be located in Davidson County, was in the city. Prof. Hale was here in the interest of the proposed school work, but skillfully evaded an interview by G'obe representatives, hence the real purpose of his mission was not definitely known. Some of the knowing ones are claiming that he was here for a special interview with the members of the Educational Board. He returned Sunday night to resume his school work in Chattanooga. ORGANIZED FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEGRO MECHANICS. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 20.—The Armstrong Association in Philadelphia is an organization which has for its object the aiding of colored mechanics to secure work in the city and at the same time encourage them to save money and build up a sound business of some kind. This movement was started because, out of the 85,000 colored population in Philadelphia, there are only a few skilled mechanics, relatively speaking; the great majority of laborers are unskilled. The promoters of the association reasoned wisely that such an unsatisfactory condition presented a very unsound basis upon which there is little hope of building a real and permanent economic superstructure. Hence this organization. The members pay a smal' fee for the privileges and advantages the society guarantees. As an evidence of the benefit the Armstrong Association is to its members, according to its second annual report, the amount of work obtained from new customers by the men through this agency, from November 15, 1909, to October 15, 1910, was: Number of jobs, 402, aggregating $20,815.25. A movement is on foot to form a similar association for the women in the city. NO.8 HON. J.C. NAPIER Attempt Made to Rob Him of Honor. GLOBE REPRESENTATIVE GETS BUSY ON THE CASE—MR. NAPIER EMPHATICALLY DENIES THE CHARGE THAT HE WENT TO COURT TO PROVE HIS IDENTITY—PROMINENT MEN TESTIFY THAT THE CHARGE IS FALSE —MR. NAPIER HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM IN HOME CITY AND STATE. Hon. J. C. Napier was some time ago appointed by President Taft Register of the Treasury to succeed Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas. For some reason or other the appointment has never been sent to the Senate to be acted upon. Divers reasons have been advanced why the appointment has been withheld, but presumably everybody is in the dark. This state of affairs has given rise to sundry sayings by the Negro press of the country. The Atlanta Independent, in its last issue, made the matter the subject of a double-column editorial and among other things said that Mr. Napier once resorted to the courts to establish "this racial identity." Mr. Napier, when shown the article by a representative of the Globe, said: "I admit that maybe I have done some foolish things in my life, but I have never been so indiscreet as to ask any court to declare whether I was a white or black man. The fact stands out boldly and clearly that all of Middle Tennessee knows of my parentage, early life, young manhood and matured years. I have lived in Nashville all of my days. My life has been an open book. I have always stood unflinchingly for and by my race. I am a Negro. I visit them in their homes and they return the compliment. They have honored me in the past, and I have striven to prove worthy of their confidence. This effusion from The Independent will have no effect upon the people of Tennessee, and I deny that I ever tried to be anything but a Negro, trying in my humble way, to serve my God and my people." The Globe representative took pains to investigate on its own account by interviewing many of the older and leading citizens who have known Mr. Napier from young manhood, and some who went to school with him. Dr. H. T. Noel, a practicing physician in this city and a noted stock raiser, said, he had known Mr. Napier all of his life. "There has never been a time when he went back on his people, being a Negro first, last and all the time." Mr. J. C. Thompson, one of the oldest citizens and a leading man in public affairs, said he never knew of any court proceedings to declare Mr. Napier a white man; that such a thing never happened. Mr. W. H. Hodgkins, a prominent real estate dealer, was surprised that any reputable paper would lend its columns to any such rot. Mr. Napier has always been identified with the best interest of the Negro race. There has never been any court in Tennessee asked to declare whether Mr. Napier was black or white. I knew his forebears; they were Negroes beyond a doubt. Mr. J. W. Grant, prominent attorney and ex-Grand Master of the Odd Fellows in the state, said: "I have lived here a number of years and think I know Hon. J. C. Napier, and I can truthfully say that the article in The Independent does him a gross injustice." Mr. J. H. Coyles, another leading citizen, never heard of Mr. Napier applying to any court or any other tribunal to determine his race. He said, "I have always known him to be a man of honor and probity." The concensus of opinion among the many other people was that the Independent's article is a halucination of a designing mind. Mr. T. G. Ewing, who has lived in this city all of his life, and who has engaged in many a campaign with (Continued on page 5.) DISTINGUISHED MEDICAL AUTHORITY VISITS MEARRY. During the past week we were favored with a visit from Dr. W. A. Spurgeon, of Muncie, Indiana, who is a member of the National Confederation of State Medical Examining and Licensing Board and Chairman of the committee for examining the medical colleges of the Southern States. On the Doctor's visit to Meharry he was accompanied by Dr. W. A. Halbert, a member of the State Medical Examining Board of Tennessee. Dr. Spurgeon's purpose was to determine the correct state of affairs in order to report same at the meeting of his Board which will be held at Chicago on the 3d of March. He expressed himself as being pleased with what he saw at Meharry. Dr. G. W. Hubbard expects to attend a meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges to be held in Chicago on the 27th inst. Mr. J. D. Morris, a member of the senior Meharry class, has passed a critical week at the Hubbard Hospital. [Name not visible] PROF. M. C. DAVIS. Wants to hear from musicians of all kinds. Write 1619 Phillips street, Nashville or Lebanon, Tenn. to join out season 1911. State all in first letter. We are glad to report his condition much improved at this writing. Mr. J. Q. Tavior, senior intern at the Hubbard Hospital, has been confined to his apartment on account of illness. Miss C. C. Hunt, head nurse at Hubbard Hospital, was indisposed during the past few days. She is now up and in her usual active mood. Dr. J. H. Ballard, class 1879, formerly of Indianapolis, is now practicing at Guadalajara, Mexico. Dr. J. T. Wilson has just returned from Oklahoma, whither he was called to the bedside of the wife of Dr. L. H. Johnson. The Doctor on his way to and from Oklahoma visited the physicians at St. Louis and Muskogee. The week of surgical clinics for the senior class, under Dr. J. T. Wilson, begins Monday, the 27th inst. A goodly number of patients are expected from other states. THE CRAP SHOOTERS The crap shooters in the dens of vice seem to understand each other and are better organized than the Negro ministers of this city. When one takes no account of the work that is being done daily, for now and then the crap shooters hit something and bring it out, but the object lesson that was taught in the Interdenominational Union on last Monday was one more adversed. We not only bow our heads in shame from the reports that are carried out from the reports that are carried out from the minister's Union from time to time, but we feel exceedingly sorry for our people, and do say without fear of contradiction that the Negro ministers ought to come out and be men, or put on short pants and play the role of a boy and be done with it.—Charleston Messenger. TEMPLOW NOTES. On last Sunday, in spite of the inclement weather, our beloved pastor, Rev. V. S. G. Brown, the silver-tongued orator, preached one of those old-time, soul-stirring sermons from the words, "Be ye not deceived, for God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap also." The willing workers and stewards gave an entertainment last Saturday night for the benefit of the Quarterly Conference, and realized a neat little sum. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. Rev. E. W. D. Isaac was in the town last Sunday, and preached at the Mt. Zlon Baptist Church. Dr. Isaacs is always a welcome visitor in our town. Rev. J. H. Smith, of Fayetteville. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 24. 1911. was in town last week to attend the Board meeting of Turner Normal College. He was the guest of the college during his stay. Miss Lillian M. Scott has again returned home to Tullahoma. Her health would not permit her to continue in school longer. She is missed very much by the students of T. N. C. Miss Dora A. Jones left last week for Chicago, where she goes to take up her work for the spring. Miss Jones is a great favorite in Shelbyville, where she spent several years as a student in Turner College. Mr. Tobe Green came over from Columbia last week to attend the play given by the Turner Normal students at the City Opera house. Rev. Mr. O'Neil, of the First Baptist Church, left this week for Kentucky, where he goes to prepare for expect to attend from this place. The Turner Nightingale Quartette will give their concert at Haley next Saturday night. A number of persons erpct to attend from this place. There is already being considerable talk about the coming game between the Turner Normal and the Nashville Deer Foots. The game is to take place April 19. The lecture of Dr. E. W. $ _{1} $ D. Isaac at the First Baptist Church last Monday night was one of the richest and rarest that the Shelbyville people have listened to for many a day. His lecture was in the interest of the young people's department in church life. A number of the prominent citizens, including the professional men, were present. Music was furnished by Turner Normal students. Mr. P. H. Buford, of. Nashville, spent last Sunday in town, and was seen around the campus of Turner Normal. The students of Turner Normal are preparing another great play, "Gyp, the Heiress," to be rendered sometime next month. It is said that they contemplate carrying the play to a couple of neighboring towns. SOUTH PITTSBURG NOTES. Mr. Joseph Fatigue, better known in these parts as "Uncle Joe," breathed his last one day last week. he was the oldest colored citizen in this county.

He has been a pensioner for a number of years, but the government has sent her last pecuniary aid to "Uncle Joe," and he has had his check cashed the last time, and, too, his Mrs. check has been "turned in" on the other side. He passed away at the home of Mrs. Ann Bonner in Hamburg. The large concourse of friends who were present at his burial witnessed the niece's lump of clay lowered to its earthly domain, and when key.

She lived a Christian in the C, M. KX. Church here for 29 years. She leaves behind a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The funeral serv- ives were conducted by Rev. W. A. Rodgers at the home of Mrs. L. F. Porter, where she died. Rev. Rodgers preached a very touching sermon. His subject was, “The City of God,” which wes taken from Hebrews 11: 10.

M. E. Church, Wednes- day evening, February 15, by Miss Bugenia Walker. A 1arge crowd was present to witness the affair, all pres- ent enjoying themselves. Rev. Pope visited us with his moy- ing picture show. He has in it some living facts which should be seen by ‘the Negroes through the country. Rey. M. H. Shelby passed through here en route for his home in Nash- ville. Mrs. Hannah Childress is able to be up and about again. Mrs. Annie Miller is still on the sick list. Little Mosella Ward is confined to her bed with measles. Miss Eugenia Hannah is still on the sick list, Herman Holt 1s confined to his bed.

CENTERVILLE NOTES. The St, Valentine exercises given by the members of the A. M. BH. Church on February 14 made quite a hit, and was successful financially. The members of the Christian Church have begun work on their church, and they say that they will be able to hold service in it in about a month. They gave a “working” last peraeys and many responded to the call. ‘The Baptists who are rebuilding their church just across the street from the Chrsitian people also gave a “working” Saturday. | The ladies of both churches pre- pared the dinner, and the two churches jointly had what can be properly called a “Feast in the Wilderness.” On Saturday night Centerville was given a treat by Rev. Pope, who gave a high-class moving picture scenery. The whole show cannot be classed other than excellent for two reasons: The moral lessons taught in the pic- tures aad the pictures are all of our people. ods am THE LORD’S SUPPER | eee ARS Congregation can have its wants supplied by securing one of our Quar- * druple-Plated Table Silverware Com- munion Sets at moderate prices and on reasonable terms. A set consists of one flagon, two goblets and two bread plates. If the church wants more goblets or plates, they can be furnished at an additional cost. The commemoration of the Lord’s Supper is a very sacred ordinance. The custom for centuries has been to have special vessels for this occasion. Thus a communion set becomes an important part of this service. Many churches have used the old style com- munion set while others use an individual set. Both are appropriate and well-recom- mended. One is no reflection upon the other. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING PRICES AND TERMS, WRITE TO THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH SUPPLY Co., R. H.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911. A Belated Wail. Our esteemed contemporary, the Atlanta Independent, in the issue of February 18th, indulges in a discussion of the appointment of Mr. J. C. Napier, of this city, as Register of the Treasury of the United States in a most assiduous manner, but at a time and in a way calculated to greatly embarrass an innocent man. The Independent claims to be immaculately innocent of any attempt to injure Mr. Napier, but any one after a careful reading of the editorial would be compelled to say there is something dead up the creek. The editorial in question says: While The Independent has not been invited to discuss appointments with the President, and does not feel able to advise him, it is firmly of the opinion that the displacement of Mr. Vernon, a coal-black man, with Mr. Napier, a man so bright, it is said, that once upon a time the courts were called upon to determine his racial identity, is a question fraught with consequences that the President never contemplated, at the time he decided upon the displacement. The above is what they call in double dealing the "blowing hot," but listen to serpent-like cunningness that listeth forth in the next breath that is called in this double dealing "blowing cold." In another sentence The Independent says: It seems to us, if the President was moved in this appointment by a desire to serve the race or party, that he would allow Mr. Vernon to remain. Considered from a racial standpoint, Mr. Vernon is much more a representative of the Afro-American than Mr. Napier, and The Independent makes this statement without regard to color or race. Will The Independent please tell us how a black man can be termed a better representative of the Negro race in this country than a yellow man or a brown man? Is it the intention of our Georgia neighbor to draw the color line in the race? Is it not a fact that that man represents us best who serves us best, be he yellow, brown or black? But listen how vacillating The Independent is: We do not believe that Mr. Vernon ought to be favored because he is coal-black, or that Mr. Napier ought to be discriminated against because he is as fair as a white man. The question of color does not enter The Independent's mind. We lose absolutely all sight of the color of the skin or racial identity in the discussion of the question at issue. We are considering the proposition from the angle of satisfying or serving the greatest number of people racially interested in the appointment. The Independent says first the President did not contemplate that objection would be raised as to Mr. Napier's color; secondly that the contention is not with regard to color or race; thirdly, "We lose absolutely all sight of the color of the skin or racial identity," etc. Will The Independent tell us what the trouble is about? The truth of the whole matter is the action of the President has led The Independent to believe that --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911. he can be induced to reverse himself and retain Mr. Vernon as Register of the Treasury. We would not be surprised if he did, for he is a man who has a reputation of doing such things; but we are surprised that so able a journal as The Independent would stoop so low as to join him in doing so. We knew that white men were preferred to black men for positions in Georgia, and that our contemporary concurred in the preference, but we did not suspect that the disease had taken affect to the extent that the color question would be raised in the race. Mr. Vernon, as Registier of the Treasury, has acquitted himself in a way that reflects credit upon himself and the race to which he belongs. The Globe admires him as a man and as an official. We are proud that he is a scholarly black man. We have this fancy for no other reason than because white men have tried to prove that all intelligent Negroes get their ability to attain greatness from their strain of Caucasian blood. That claim has caused many Negroes to rejoice when a black man proves that there is as fertile brain in black heads as there is in white heads. But we do not allow that prejudice to enter in when it comes within the lines of the race. Mr. Napier is as true to his race as any man in this country. The claim that the courts in this city were called upon at one time to settle his racial identity cannot be established. The oldest and most responsible citizens in his home city have no knowledge of such. It is a false rumor that those who are circulating do not believe, but are simply using it to an end. President Taft has appointed Mr. Napior Register of the Treasury, if he never sends his name to the Senate it will be a reflection on the President and not the appointee. Mr. Napier's record is as spotless as a new sheet. He is as true a Republican as ever drew breath. His worth to the party has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. There would not be a republican governor in this state today had it not been that J. C. Napier shelled the woods from Memphis to Bristol and held a sufficient number of Negroes in line to enable the fusionists to win. The belated wail of The Independent comes at a time when no one will believe there is a semblance of sincerity in it. Before the appointment was made it was discussed fully and freely. The friends of Mr. Vernon practically won a victory for him, and he, Mr. Vernon, put himself out of the position by methods that are well known to the country; and at this late day it is unfair and unprincipled to assail Mr. Napier as The Independent has done. No Signs of Peace When Governor B. W. Hooper was inaugurated and the fusionists had succeeded in electing their choice to the United States Senate, it was hoped that the bitter feelings that has disturbed our commonwealth so long would come to an end. But from day to day there are evidences of a desire to keep the flame of bitterness alive. It was entirely out of the question to suppose that there would be a republican administration in this state under the conditions that prevail, but it was hoped that the Governor would be a courageous man, and not allow the factional differences in the democratic party to influence him one way or the other, but such it seems we are bound to endure. The veto of the Nashville Charter Bill was an act that the chief executive of the state could have with propriety let alone. It was not a state fight, but one among the factions of the democratic party in this city. The daily papers, both of which are opposed to any reform Mayor Howse may attempt to make, whether good or bad, whether wise or inexpedint, fought the bill of course, not on its merits, but because of the dislike they have for the Mayor. The bill was amended to cure the evil complained of but it was objectionable just the same, and because it was objectionable to one faction in this city Our Flag Is Still There WHY NOT BE A Knight of Pythias?

We need peace in Tennessee. The welfare of all the people demands it. The prosperity so easily in our grasp is pleading to us to lay aside our bickerings and work in harmony for the development of the old Volunteer State. Tennessee's Population. The 1910 census of this state just given out in tabulated form shows that there are only 472,987 Negroes in our, commonwealth, and that there are 1,711,550 white people of all races. The Negroes constitute 21.65 per cent of the population of the state. The report shows that there are only two counties in which Negroes predominate. The Nashville Banner, in commenting on the subject says: On the whole, the state is a white man's state. The little more than one-fifth Negro population, with a relative diminution of nearly 2 per cent in ten years, is not a problem to be dreaded. There was little appreciable increase among Tennessee Negroes in the last decade, and there is not likely to be any in the years to come. There is no probability that this condition will change in the future. On the other hand, there will be more or less white immigration probably increasing in future decades. There is always a probability of a considerable tide of white immigration from the North and foreign countries into this section. As the West becomes settled and the North crowded the immigration into the outh will naturally increase. On the other hand immigration from Tennessee is likely to decrease. Tennessee whites have in past decades gone in large numbers to Texas, Arkansas and other Western regions. Between 1900 and 1910 the white emigration from Tennessee to Oklahoma was heavy, and there is every reason to believe that more whites than blacks left the state within that period. All of these facts indicate that the race problem, as it applies to the state at large, is vanishing in Tennessee. In the congested regions like Fayette and Haywood counties in may continue to be troublesome, but for the greater part of the state it is now of small consequence and growing of less importance. We hope that the facts as snowed by the census figures will set at rest for the present at lease that fear that the Negroes will some day wake up and take possession of the state. The Banner felt moved to declare in the same editorial that this is a "white man's state." We thought that was generally understood so far as pertains to wealth and numbers. The city of Negro domination in this state is the weakest that can be made. The time has never been when such a thought has ever entered the minds of the Negroes of Tennessee. They have always been content to own a little home and to live at peace with everybody. The Negro is an imitator in many things, but he has never exhibited a spirit of conquest. He is too much inclined to be contented with a little. There is one feature brought out by the census that is to be regretted, and that is the inclination of so many Negroes to flock to the cities and towns. True, the habit is not altogether racial, but the Negroes of all races have the least chance to make a living in the city. But there is a cause for this continual influx that is graver than the charge so often made that the gayeties of city life attract the young Negroes to the cities. That the many things to be seen, and the good times to be had in the city have attracted Negroes is true, no doubt, and it is also true that these same things attract the young white men to the cities, but the main cause for the Negroes leaving the country for the city is the constant harrassing of those men who attempt to have a little farm and make a decent living for their families. Too often whole settlements of industrious Negro farmers are broken up by the poor and vicious white men who style themselves "White Caps," and who send out warnings and post notices that all Negroes must leave by a certain time. In such cases what it has taken years to acquire must be sacrificed. Often in such cases some irresponsible Negro has committeed a minor offense, and for his act a whole community is broken up. The humble Negro farmer decides to move his family to some city and take his chances. If the daily papers in our state, with a powerful influence such as the Banner has, would use that influence to create a sentiment against these outrages they would do a much greater service to all the people than can possibly be done by constantly holding up the Negro domination ghost. The fight on secret Negro societies is spreading with a rapidity that is alarming. The most drastic step yet attempted is the bill introduced in the West Virginia Legislature. Negroes have simply got to fight such attempts, so it would be wise to stop spending so much for regalia and prepare for the storm that is raging. The doctors are having a hard time in John Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, Md., to decide whether a child is black or white. This is an extreme case of color blindness; it beats Col. Roosevelt a country block. The women of the city are pegging away at the old delaplidated Knowles School building. Persistency will win in the end. Our business leagues have taken another ground hog excursion. Well, August will be here bye and bye. Scenator Lorimer says he will retain his seat. Pity that Vardaman could not get there too. ALGONQUIN CLUB. ALGONQUIN CLUB. Most beautiful and artistic was the dance, given by the Algonquin Club at Odd Fellows Hall, Wednesday night, February 22. The dance was colonial in every respect. The invitations sent out by the club were printed on old colonial brown parchment paper in Old English type. George Washington's picture was engraved in colors in raised letters on the front cover. Odd Fellows' Hall had been lavishly decorated with red, white and blue, intermingled with old gold colors. On one side of the hall was a very large portrait of George Washington. This was beautifully decorated in red, white and blue bunting and under it hung two old army guns. On the other side of the hall in large gold letters, stamped on a black background, was the word Algonquin. This was also decorated with flags and bunting. Old swords were placed here and there about the walls and many colonial features were carried out during the evening. At 8 o'clock carriages began to arrive at the hall bearing the club members and the company. All the young ladies wore dresses made from red, white and blue bunting and most of them were made in colonial style. To see the young ladies gliding about the hall dressed in the fashion of one hundred years ago and to watch them in the old-fashioned dances presented a rare and beautiful sight. To say that they looked beautiful would be putting it mildly. The young men wore full dress suits with white gloves. Exactly at 9 o'clock the dance program was begun, led by Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher, master of dance, and to the strains of "That Beautiful Rag," and until the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home," the guests were charmed and electrified by the melodious strains. During the intermission classical selections were rendered by the orchestra. The following club members were present: Messrs. Moses McKissack, W. D. Boger, A. G. Price, John B. Sims, Ernest G. Cole, Samuel L. Carter, Booker T. Washington, Jr., Samuel E. Marshall, William Stockell, S. Bulow Erwin, W. Burnett Davis, Calvin M. McKissack, D. Wesley Crutcher, Fred D. Williams, Geo, H.

Mr. Napier, was glad to make the following statement; "I notice in the Atlanta Independent an editorial making an attack upon Mr. J. C. Napier. The tenor of the editorial is an effort to induce the president to recall his former conclusion to appoint Mr. Napier Register of the United States Treasury. I wish to say that I have lived in Nashville all of my life (62 years), and have known Mr. Napier intimately as long as I can remember anyone. I knew him as a boy and now as a man, and I take great pleasure in saying that he is an upright, Christian gentleman, and is now and has been identifying himself with his race. I never heard of him making application to the courts to pronounce him a white man. I knew his mother and father, both intimately. I know both of them were recognized and known as colored persons and neither he nor they ever tried to belong to any other race. The citizens of this city are very indignant over the matter. They look upon Mr. Napier as a man worthy of any honor the Federal Government has to give out, and it is rumored that a mass-meeting will be held as an expression of the disapproval of the people of the attack by The Independent.
