HADLEY PARK DEDICATED JULY FOURTH
NASHVILLE OFFERS
OPPORTUNITY
Vol. VII.
Park Commissioners and Other Officials Present Taking the Leading Part in the Exercises—The Park First of Its Kind in the History of the Country—Many Leading Citizens Present — High Praise for Commission, the Mayor and Mr. Carr.
July 4th, in the northwest section of the city, on one of the most historical spots in the South, the Park Commission, Mayor Howse and a large number of representative Negroes assembled to dedicate Hadey Park. This park was purchased by the city and set aside for the exclususe use of colored people. It contains thirty-four acres of beautiful grass land, wel shaded and watered, and with natural beauty unexcelled.
The program which had been arranged by Mr. B. J. Carr and the Program Committee was carried out with slight changes. The weather was inclement. It rained all the forenoon, but brightened up about 12 o'clock and as soon as the sun put his rays forth the people began to gather at the park from every direction. It was planned to begin the exercises at 1 o'clock, but by suggestion of Mr. Carr the Park Commissioners and Mayor Howse consented to delay the time a few minutes for the benefit of those who they felt would have been there had the weather permitted. Their opinion was well founded, for the people began coming just as soon as the rain stopped falling, and for several hours, though light showers fell

at intervals, every time it would let up, the crowd was increased by several.
Mr. Carr, master of ceremonies, in opening the exercises, said, "This is a great day in the history of Nashville. We come here this evening to describe this park to the use of the ego citizens of this city. As far as I know, this is the first instance in this country where a park of this size has been purchased; for the exclusive use of the colored citizens of a municipality, and it goes to say that in all of the Southland there is no such city nor state that there is such good will and brotherly interest as exists between the bracket and white people of Nashville and Tennessee." He referred to the efforts put forth to bring about the early opening of the park. He said if he had made one cup to the Commissioners in the interest of that park he had made thousands. He told how he had gone to the Park Commissioners one by one and had pleaded with them to make the Negro Park a reality in 1912, and how, to his surprise, that every one he approached was willing to give an affirmative answer almost before the subject was broached.
The first speaker introduced was Major P. F. McWhirter, Chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners, Maj. McWhirter arose and in jovial mood, said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen—I am proud indeed to be here to-day to witness these exercises and to take part in the same. I am here to lend my presence as a member of the Board of Park Commissioners, and not to make an address to you as your program states. The Board has under consideration for more than a year the matter of providing a park for the colored people of Nashville, as they have felt that they were entitled to one"; and after considerable effort to secure a favorable location they settled on a spot of more than thirty acres. Its location, we think, is ideal, being about midway between Fisk University on the east and the State Colored Normal on the west. The two institutions are superior of their kind to any in the

LODGE IN SESSION
Special to the Globe.
Memphis, Tenn., July 10—The fourteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Tennessee convened here yesterday. The session was called to order by Grand Chancellor J. P. Crawford, of Nashville. Devotions were conducted by the Grand Prelate, Rev. ...— of ... A args delegation was present at the open and Memphis Pythians have everything in fine condition to receive the guests from the many sections of the state. Every delegate shows a smile and the session promises to be a success from every point of view.
The Grand Court of Calanthe was opened Tuesday morning by Grand Counsellor R. F. Bovd, of Nashville. The ladies presented a beautiful picture as they strolled into the hall and marched to their seats. The Grand Counsellor called the meeting to order and after devotions announced the house ready for business. The outlook in the ladies department is most promising. There is a spirit of good will pervading the assembly, and the work is being dispatched with precision.
There is not much talk of changes this year and few, if any, it seems, will be made. The absorbing topic is the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Georgia case, and the opinion seems to prevail that Tennessee white Pythians realize that their case is lost.

Mr. Benj, Carr, Nashville, Tenn.: Dear Sir—
I was very sorry that on account of illness I was unable to be at the opening of Hadley Park on July 4th.

REPUBLICANS OF IOWA REFUSE
TAFT AN ENDOSSEMENT
Des Moines, Ia., July 10.—Efforts of Governor Carroll, a Taft adherent, to have the republican state convention today pass a resolution endorsing the platform adopted at the national convention failed, being tabled by 773 to 300 and his effort to eliminate from the report of the majority of the resolutions committee the section condemning as fradulent the Chicago convention also failed. The progressives controlled the convention throughout.
Neither Taft nor Roosevelt was mentioned in the resolutions adopted, which commend "republican achievement and endorse progressive policies."
Gov. Carroll precipitated a demonstration for Roosevelt, which lasted for more than twenty minutes when he said the nationa republican platform was not tainted and was adopted regardless of whether the delegates were aligned with Taft or Roosevelt.
The mention of Roosevelt was the signal for cheer after cheer, delegates having bandana handkerchiefs, dais and hats.
Resolutions adopted included a request that the legislature submit the question of votes for women to the people and endorse direct nomination of president, vice-president and United States senators.
The resolutions committee declined to include in its report the suggestion of Senator Albert B. Cummins for a commission to investigate the manner in which President Taft was remominated at Chicago.
Tonight the progressive delegates attended a meeting presided over by Judge John L. Stevens, leader of the Roosevelt forces in Iowa, at which plans for the new party movement were made.

The various lectures delivered by leading educators and other professional men of the state proved most beneficial and interesting to those attending the school and the many visitors from the city. Much credit is due Hon. J. W. Brister. State Superintendent, and State Board of Education and the faculty for having made the work both a pleasure and success, although laboring under numerous difficulties, arising from the incompleteness of the buildings at the beginning of the summer session. President Hale, however, gives assurance that everything will be in readiness for the reception of the large number of students expected at the fall opening in September.

MONTEAGLE NOTES.
The rainfall has been exceedingly, heavy on the mountains this week. The clouds came down to visit the little city on the 18th and, as it seems, to tel the inhabitants of the coming falling weather. Among those who have come here to work during the summer is a large number of students from the different schools and colleges of the South. State, Normal, Ala., and Turner Norma College are well represented. Mrs. Elen Allison left for her home at Shelbyville; she was suffering very badly with a rheumatic pain in the left shoulder and arm. Mr. Erven Brown arrived last Saturday; he has been superintendent of the Monteague *Colored Sunday-school* for several years. The mountaineers have been causing a considerable disturbance by jeering and threatening to rock the waiters and nurses. A mountain boy who looked to be about sixteen years of age, drew a shotgun and threatened to shoot Jesse McGowan, of Sewanee, as he was coming from the depot. He was accompanied by his cousin, Will McGowan, and Miss Maggie Ray and Emmett Campbell, of Shelbyville, who had been to the depot to assist Mrs. Allison with her baggage. The reason for the boy's actio nis not known, he simply drew the gun on the one nearest to him, cursed him and told him he would fill him ful of shot. No arrest has been made, as he was not identified. The merchants and business men of this community are a friendly and law-abiding class of white people and no serious trouble of race prejudice is expected.

Candidate for re-election Magistrate,First (Nashville) District, Election
Milwaukee Free Press denouncing the movement as inspired net by principle, but by personal ambition, the New York Evening Post jeering at it as the "Bull-Mouse party," the New York Tribune clamoring against the "dishonesty" of trying to take possession of the Republican organizations in the Presidential primary States, and the San Francisco Call and Chronicle and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat consoling themselves with historical evidence that "third parties always fall." Says the New York Tribune, an Administration paper:
"The Taft men had control of the machinery at Chicago, and used their control of it, according to the Roosevelt followers, to unseat certain legally elected delegates. The Roosevelt people have control of the machinery in certain States, and if the Flinn morality prevails in the new party they will use their control of it to unseat the Republican party forits legal place on the ballot. That may be politics, but to play that kind of politics is to confess that the methods alleged to have been used at Chicago were right."
The new party will prove "a humidious flasco" predicts the regular Republican Kansas City Journal, and the Philadelphia Inquirer warns Republicans against following the Colonel "into the Cave of Adulam where he has fled." The abler men among his previous followers, thinks the Chicago Inter Ocean, will not be deceived by "his supreme selfishness, insane ecotism, and reckless ambition" and "will refuse to surrender their character as Republicans to go privateering with letters of marque and reprisal from Oyster Bay." "In general, the bolts which have taken place in the Republican party have injured nobody except the bolters," notes the St. Louis Globe Democrat. The entrance of the Bull Moose into the political arena moves the New York Evening Post to the following frivolous comment:
"Of this animal it may be said that, while it is undoubtedly an effective symbol of primitive convictions and a distaste for precedent, it makes no appeal to the affections. It is easy enough to imagine people getting out of the way of a bull moose in full career, but to love the animal as people have learned to love the stately elephant and the patient donkey is out of the question."

DEATH OF LELAND'S PRESIDENT.
Rev. Geo. W. Perkins, President of One of the South's Oldest Schools. Passed Away in Philadelphia.
News of the death of the Rev. George W. Perkins, D. D., president of Leland University, located at New Orleans, La., which reached Nashville last week, was a great surprise and caused much sorrow among the Baptists of the city, many of whom were personally acquainted with the deceased. The press dispatches from Philadelphia giving the surprising information of the death and where it occurred were read eagerly but painfully, as Leland has been looked upon from several points of view as the South's most independent school. It was said, it was the first Negro school of the South to reach that point where it could be self-supporting. A number of years ago, through the philanthropic efforts of some of its friends, the school was endowed and for the past fifteen years or more, it has not been compelled to do as most schools must do to raise finances for the operation of the institution and the paying of the teachers. Then, too, it is the South and the gateway to South and Central America, giving it an enclosed in the logical metropolis of viable position. It has turned out some of the leading men of the race. They are scattered throughout the length and breadth of North America. Many of them have crossed to Europe, or found their way to the Orient. While the late Dr. Perkins had some misunderstanding with some of the Negro Baptists of the State of Louisiana, it is said that he succeeded in holding the respect and soliciting the co-operation of the entire South. His reputation as an educator was not known only to this section of the country, as in the North, East and West, he had made himself heard on the lecture platform until he was sought for his enquiry. It is now a current rumor in Nashville that a movement has already been started to have his successor elected from some member of our race. Leland has had the distinction of being the first independent school to ever elect a Negro as president, a though the fortunate one never served one day. It is stated that back in the eighties the lamented Wm. J. Simmons, of Louisville, Ky., was elected as president of the school. At the same time he was elected as district secretary of the Home Mission Society. It appears that he was notified first as district secretary of the Home Mission Society and immediately notified the secretary he would accept the position. He was then notified of his election as president of Le and University, but having already accepted the secretaryship of the Society, the trestees proceeded to elect Rev. Dr. Perkins. The Auml of Leland throughout the United States are understood to be working for a Negro president. Prominent among the names are already mentioned for the presidency are Rev. A. S. Jackson, D. D., pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas; Rev. A. F. Owens, D. D., Dean of Phelps Bible Hall's Baptist Tuskegee, Inst., Ala, and Rev. H. M. Williams, D. D., pastor of Avenue L, Baptist Church, Galveston, Texas. Leland boasts of sending forth into the world such me not national reputation as Rev. C. L. Simmons, D. D., of Louisiana; Rev. Wm. Hicks, B. D., of Alabama; Rev. H. B. Nrown, of Louisiana; Revs. A. S. Jackson, D. D., and H. M. Williams, D. D., and H. B. Plus, of Texas; Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., of Tennessee; Rev. J. B. Taylor, of Baton Rouge, and a score of others who have since left the school, made splendid records.
FOURTH AT GREENWOOD.
UNDAINTED and undismayed by the weeping clouds that shed tears at intervals throughout the day, the Nashville people took advantage of the occasion to spend the gorious fourth at Greenwood Park. Preparations for the comfort and the amusement of the thousands who usually repair to the park on holidays through the summer season, were complete. Every one of the buildings with the various attractions was in readiness to receive the throng which began to pour into the park as earl'y as noon, notwithstanding the rain was falling steadily at that hour. One of the first contingents to arrive was Company A, unattached, of the Tennessee Volunteers, under the command of Capt. — — and Lieutenants. Dressed in khaki uniform and carrying their unfurled banner, the company kept time to nation airs played by the L. O. I. Band, who also wore their summer uniform. When they reached the park, exhibition drills and skimishes were the order. These, however, did not take place until the afternoon. The first peep of sun that came from the clouds brought hundreds of people who amused themselves at the penny arcade, which is already one of the most popular records at the park. The fifty-three machines with the other devices of amusement are already much sought by the children, the masses of whom have earned many of the songs and know much of the interior of these penny slot machines. But the most joyous time spent is in the human roulette machine, which is the first to be operated in the city. Others took possession o the merry-go-round and shooting galleries, while the remainder stroveled through the halls and sat on the large verandas and amused themselves on the triadic wheel. The management stated this week that two thousand five hundred persons passed through the gate on July 4th. Following this, on Sunday afternoon, which was the first fair afternoon Nashville has enjoyed for a number of days, more than five thousand people went to the park.

BISHOP THEODORE S. HENDER
VISIT SONS NASHVILLE.
Clark Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church was recently honored by an Episcopal visitation from the newly elected bishop, Rt. Rev. Theodore S. Henderson, of Chattanooga, Tenn. He will preside over the following districts: Chattanooga, Holston, Central Tennessee, East Tennessee, Tennessee, Blue Ridge-Atlantic and North Carolina. He de- vivere an instructive address subject: "Evangelized Education and Educated Evangelism". The words that fell from his lips filled every heart with joy and enthusiasm, and made lasting impressions on the many listeners. He portrayed the necessity of co-operation in the ministry in order that the best might be attained. He emphasized the importance and superior advantage of every pastor: being an evangelist. Apparently his whole heart was in the work; urging every minister to do his best at all times to accomplish this end. The interest the bishop has taken since at the very beginning of his Episcopacy as well as the loyal support promised, should be a stimus to us to the entire connection.
There were also other distinguished visitors present in the persons of Dr. I. Garland Penn, Secretary-elect of Freedman's Aid Society, who spoke forcibly in behalf of his department. Bishop I: B. Scott also spoke with words of encouragement to the great work of Bishop Henderson's supervision. Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, Dean of Mehray Medical College, was present and gave prestige to the occasion.
Bishop Henderson with Dr. Hubbard also visited the various departments of Walden University, Monday evening, July 1st, and took a general review of the University and Dr. Hubbard was much encouraged by his presence and promised help.

NECRO PRESS ON THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN CONV
NTION.
THE NEW ERA IN POLITICS
The birth of the National' Progressive Party, with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt as its chief apostle may mean the dissolution of the Old Republican Party. For years the Republican party has been betraying the principles upon which it was founded, and its disintegration actually began with the Taft administration. Like the old Whig party, it must eventually give way to an organization that can command the confidence of the American people. The once "Grand Old Party," which Frederick Douglass designated as the "ship" has now wrecked itself upon the rocks of internecine strife.
Those who are disposed to look upon the new party with scorn, as being the creation of Roosevelt out of a desire to press his personal ambitions are sadly mistaken. With Roosevelt are such men as Senator Clapp, of Minnesota; Senator Dixon, of Montana; Senator Poindexter, of Washington; Governor Aldrich, of Nebraska; Governor Vessey, of South Dakota; James R. Garfield, of Ohio Judge Lindsay, of Colorado; Governor Johnson, of California, and a large number of men of the highest stand
ing in the nation. Behind these men are the common people who have tired of following the Republican party in its reactionary movement under the present administration.
There have been other "third parties" but none of them had such reasons for existence as attended the birth of the new Progressive party. That there will be tremendous accessions from the Democratic party there remains little to doubt. It is true that the Democrats have the best chance this fall that they have had since Cleveland's administration, but they will not only have to beat the remaining forces of the Republican party to win, but they will have to contend with a newer and greater force in American politics. It is possible that Theodore Roosevelt will be the next president of the United States—The Journal and Guide.
THE MOVING FINGER AT CHI CAGO.
"The Moving Finger writes and having writ, moves on; nor all your piety nor wit may lure it back to cancel half a line nor all your tears wash out one word of it." Thus spoke the old Persian tent-maker in the long ago, and when we review the proceedings of the Chicago convention we are disposed to believe with him that the decrees of Providence are immutable as well as that men and nations are merely puppets hung on invisible wires, but carrying out always—sometimes blindly—the divine plan of the A mighty.
For the last decade our country has been a seething cauldron of seemingly irrevocable political issues. It has been an era of new adjustment accompanied by all the strife and turmoil which follow in the wake of men seeking and finding new ways of doing things. Not only in the political arena could we witness this spirit of bustle and change and confusion, but so has it been in the world of labor, in the world of commerce in the world of science. Since political parties have so much to do with all other issues, it was but natural that in a convention of the great political captains of the party which has been the dominant one for nearly half a century there should be surface indications of controversy and disorder. Take it any way you like, the struggle between Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt was a splendid one—it has done more to educate the American people in a political way than could have, been possible through any other agency—but splendid as well in the fact that it has served to introduce to the people so many able men.
As a people, we should be proud of those Negro delegates, who, while holding the balance of power, remained insensible to the tempting urge of gold and power—doing their duty as they were instructed to do it by those whose representatives they were.
Of all the delegates present they could the least afford to waver—the least afford to weaken. Surely the Republican party and the Democratic party as well, must now concede to the Negro's loyalty to the principles of honesty and patriotism—The Louisville Defender.
MRS. DAVIS DIES SUDDENLY.
Sponsor: the Globe
Pulaski, Tenn., July 3.—One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Pulaski for many months was the sudden demise of Mrs. Lula Jane Davis, wife of Mr. O. B. Davis, Sr. At the time of her death Mrs. Davis was at a meeting of her society, the Daughters of Zion, in the A. M. E. Church. She was actively engaged in the duties of the hour, when she suddenly began to fall and ere she could be removed to her home, a block away, the spirit had taken its flight to the Home Beyond. Sister Davis was a noble Christian woman, pious, motherly and affectionate. Mrs. Davis had been a member of Campbell's Chapel. A. M. E. Church

Rev. J. B. Miller, D. D., Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Columbus, Ga., Scores Big Success.
ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR RALLY.
Columbus, Ga., June 29.—Another big demonstration was given by the Methodolitan Baptist Church of this city, when the pastor, Rev. J. B. Miller, announced this week that for the second time during his pastorate and within the past twelve months, a successful $1,000 rally had been held. Dr. Miller is looked upon as one of the leading men of the denomination, being a staunch member and supporter of every department of the work. Dr. Miller carried a special party of about twenty persons from his Sunday-school and congregation to the Sunday-School Congress at Tuskegee, and he is now planning to carry an equally representative delegation to the National Baptist Convention, at Houston, Tex. The fact that Dr. Miller is a native Tennessee and has only recently begun the pastorate in Georgia, has not in the least retarded his work. It is the estimate that more than $10,000 worth of improvements have been made on the Methodolitan Baptist Church. One of the improvements made during his short pastorate is a beautiful pulpit

She has proven herself worthy of the position by carefully preparing the notes with much dignity, touching every vital point of our town and thereby causing the paper to become very popular. And since she has given her time, paper, pencil and stamps we will give her a liberal contribution. Done by order of H. W. Rucker, pastor. Last Saturday morning Sister Catherine Simpson found a pretty little baby boy between her house and that of her daughter. She seemed to be very fond of it. Sister Willie J. Simpson has been out of town over two weeks attending the Institute at Caakeville and visiting friends at Watertown.

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN RE
CORDER
This city can again boast of progress. Last week the Southern Christian Recorder, one of the official organs of the A. M. E. Church, that has been published in Columbus, Ga., several years, was moved to this city, and will in the future be published by the A. M. E. S. S. Union, at 206 Public Square. Dr. R. W. Allen, Editor, and Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the A. M. E. S. Union, had a conference at the Bishop's Council, which convened at Wilberforce, Ohio, early in June, and the result of that conference was an agreement whereby Mr. Bryant takes charge of the publishing and managing of the Recorder and Dr. Allen will do the editing. The first issue to be published in this city made its appearance last week. The paper was set entirely new; all the advertisements and straight matter being put on the mono-type machines used exclusively in the Sunday-School Union. The new paper already shows a decided improvement over that printed by contract printers in Georgia, and it is safe to say that the constituency of the paper will be highly pleased with the change. Mr. Bryant is a thorough-going printer and is always on the alert to make improvements. He buys the very best machinery and material, and devotes much of his time to the personal supervision of the mechanical work of his plant. His father was editor and publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder in the early 90's. It was then that young Bryant gained his first knowledge of type-setting. He worked on his father's paper until his death, and for quite a while was connected with the paper under the management of his successor, the late Dr. Blackwell. That was some twenty odd years ago, and he must have a deal of pride in taking charge of the paper now that his father edited when he was a boy.
The bringing of the Southern Christian Recorder to Nashville means an increase to the revenue of this city. The cost of publishing and circulating the paper will be between fifteen or twenty thousand dollars a year, as the present subscription list runs up into the thousands, and Mr. Bryant is planning to put on a campaign that he believe will more than double the present subscription list.

where he preached a very interesting sermon to a crowded house. Rev. B. M. Hughes and delegates are off for the Nashville District Conference, which will convene at Lebanon, Tenn., Rev. T. M.

Mr. James left for Nashville Monday, also Mr. A. C. Shaw. Miss Julia Phillips is here this week.
CARD OF THANKS
Mrs. Jas. Gardner wishes to thanks the friends of the National Baptist Publishing Board for their many kind deeds during her husband's illness, and also the lovely floral design at his death.
MR. MCKAY PASSES AWAY
Mr. Mike McKay Kelley, sign of Mrs. Elizabeth McKay, of 1015 Ninth avenue, North, died June 24th, age, 31 years. He had been confined to his home for several months.
Jefferson Street.
Nashville offers opportunities for such enterprises, more so than any other city in the South, and as regards the Negro, it affords a better opportunity than any city in the country. That the people are realizing this more and more is evidenced by the number of concerns that are coming here, among the last being the Southern Christian Recorder.
OPPOSITION TO GARNISHEE LAW
Another strong protest has been made by the labor councils of Nashville against the existing defects and unjust clauses in the present garnishee laws as interpreted and construed by the justices of peace courts and the board of deputy sheriffs and constables who are said to be making their living by fleeing the already oppressed laboring man, taking from him that which was intended to be guaranteed to him as a sufficient amount upon which to keep his family. The exemption clause in the garnishee law was, it is argued, intend to protect the laboring man's family, but the labor councils of the city of Nashville, in their recent sessions, have made vigorous protests against the present enforcement and manner in which the outages reported to them from time to time by the misconstruction of these laws. The report comes that strong opposition against the present garnishee laws, with a demand for the revision and change, or the proper construction upon the one now in force, was made. Then, too, the business men, the contractors are said to be in favor of these modifications where unjust practice and abuse of the garnishee laws have brought to light. The charge is again reiterated that collecting agencies make a practice of rescorting to the garnishment without a semblance of a trial. In several instances it is claimed that when parties were忙到 postponed to throw the laboring man off, and then during his absence judgments were taken and garnishees rendered. The report further leaks out from several cases where judgments were simply entered and no trial ever held. Again it is stated that courts have issued garnishees prohibiting embogs from paying the laborer thirty days prior to the time the labor is performed. In discussing the situation several business men stated they would be willing to put cash up to investigate the enforcement of these present laws. It is also claimed that these overbearing, insulting officers make life miserable in some places of the city, by abuse of the order given to them as officers, terrorizing, bulldozing and intimidating innocent, harmless laboring men of all races.

HADLEY PARK DEDICATED.
«Continved trom Page 1)
We trust you will respect the rules,
‘as this will be required of you.
Nashville is about as well noted for
our colored schools, comparative'y,
‘as it is for other lines of education,
‘and is pre-eminently ahead of any city
fn the South in that regard, 1 trust
‘you all, old and young, may appreci-
late to the fullest extent every ad-
‘vantage this ‘Hadley Park’ may offer
you. I wou'd impress oa you the im-
Portance of correct behavior; as much
‘will depend on that as your {deal;
and keep in mind that one vicious
person may do much to bring censure
to the innocent and more self-re-
specting.
“The strong of your race should be
exemplars to the weaker and thus
strengthen it along all the highest
ideals of life.
“] now, In the name of the Board
of Park Commissioners, turn over to
His Honor, the Mayor, these grounds.”
He put special stress ou the train-
ing of the young, and urged the par-
‘ents to give special actention to their
Ghidren, and to rear them up in a
higher appreciation of such institu.
tions as Hadley Park is destined to
be. He impressed upon them the
great necessity of parents making
themselves companionable to their
children. thereby drawing them
Goser to them and enabling the par-
‘ents to be constant guardians of the
children. He made it clear that young
People could not be turned out at
large into the park and expected to
Keep themselves in the path of ree-
tude, but that mother end father
must join hands in shaping the life of
the child, and that when the time
comes to visit the park, that mother
‘tnd father, and if both cannot go, let
one or the other, take the children
and carry them to the park and re-
main with them until the time to re-
turn to their homes. The speaker
showed that he was deeply concerned
in the training of the colored people.
‘The parents who were present were
impressed with his remarks, and his
Vords of wisdom will bring forth
good fruit in years to come.
‘At the conclusion of Maj. MeWhir.
ter’s address, Mayor H. F. Howse, in
one of lis characteristic speeches,
presented the park to the Negroes of
Nashville, His address was full of
enthusiasm. He sald:
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the
Honorable Park Commission and
Fellow Citizens:
I am happy to appear before this
Tepresentative gathering of the col
ered citizens of the city of Nashyille
and express my keen appreciation of
the wisdom and progressiveness dis.
played by the members of the Park
Commission of this Municipality in
purchasing for the exclusive use of
the colored people this magnificent
park. ‘This, so far as my knowledge
goes, is the first public park pur.

for the exclusive use of the colored
people and it is fitting that Nashville

to the world that we practice the
doctrine of a square deal to all classes
of our people, regardless of race,
color or previous condition, in life.
‘The spirit of co-operation and good
feeling which exists between the
white and colored races of this city
has made it possible to accomplish
‘many substantial and lasting —im-
provements conducive to the perma-
nent welfare of both races and the
location of this park in close prox-
‘imity to the great Fisk University
and the ‘Tennessee Normal School
‘should prove of inestimable value to
the colored race of this city.
We should not neglect this oppor-
tunity to express our grateful appre-
ciation to Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who
has, through his munificence, made
it possible for the colored people of
tho city of Nashville to have a pub-
lic library of their own, and this in-
‘stitution, when erected, will be main-
tained by an appropriation of twenty-
five hundred dollars annually by the
Mayor and the City Council.
T am extremely well pleased with
my labors in bringing about the lo-
cation of the State Normal in David-
son County, of my recommendation
to the Honorable Park Commission to
purchase this park for the colored
citizens, and my labors toward secur-
ing the donation of twenty-five thou-
sand dollars for a public brary for
the “colored citizens, and my recom-
mendation to the’ Honorable City
Council that they guarantee an ap-
propriation of twenty-five hundred
dollars annually for its maintenance,
I believe the colored citizens in
this city are more intelligent, more
progressive, more peaceful and law-
abiding than the colored population
of other cities throughout the coun-
try, and I base this opinion upon the
substantial accomplishments of the
colored people of this city, upon the
freedom from contentions, strife and
riots, and upon their record as useful
progtessive citizens of the city of
Nashville,
Allow me tn closing these remarks
to express the hope that we will con-
tinue in the future as we have in
the past to dwell together in peace
and harmony, each striving to ald
the other in ‘all things, looking to-
ward the advancement of both races,
and that we be not led astray by
new friends preaching false doctrines,

ciation that will be expected of you

park all that is possible for it to be
so far as in your power lies.”
Mr. Bradley Walker, Secretary of
the Board, said that he held a unique
position on the Board, in that some-
times when the Commission got into
too high a glee as to what they want-
ed to do, he would merély ask them
quietly, “gentlemen, where are you
going to get the money?” His re
marks brought forth a deal of giee.
He expressed himself as. deeply. in:
terested in the work and was glad to
be pregent on the occasion.

Negro Board of Trade, was next

cepting the Park on behalf of the

he said:
“The opening of this park marks a
new era in the history of Nashville
and my race. It is a step forward in
the progress of this city. It is an an-
swer to the prayers of my people ever
since the park movement» las been

to Mayor Howse for the broad and
liberal spirit which he has manifested

gratitude of my race. We are interest:
ed in every movement for the better:

| The next speaker introducdd was
Rev. Preston Taylor, the proprietor
of Greenwood Park. | Mr. Taylor told
‘of some of the struggles he bad un
-|dergone in the early days of Green
|| wood. He told of the effort put forth
‘by some to have Greenwood abol

"time to have Greenwood Park abol

way officials caled me up and asked
me if T had read the morning paper.
I told him no. He said, “Get it and
|read it.” And when I got it I saw
that Greenwood Park was gone and
that the Dill had been passed in both
houses and was on the Governor's
desk for signature. Mr. Warner said,
“Get to work at once; Bet your
[friends together and go and see the
Governor.” Mr. Taylor sald he went
to see the Governor and that when he
arrived at the capitol the first man he
met was Col. Duncan Cooper. That he
laid his case before him, and Col.
Cooper asked him if he ‘knew Ben
Carr, He tod him that he did not,
and he safd, “Well, there he comes.”
He then went to Mr. Carr and intro-
duced himself to him and told him

nity to lay his ease before the Chief

| Freedmen’s Aid ociety in the South
ern States, was the next speaker. Dr
Moore was highly elated to be pres
ent and witness the exercises of th
|dedication of Hadley Park, He pre
| dicted a great future for the park anc
|for the Negroes of Nashville,
| Mr. R. L, Mayfield was the nex
|speaker. He spoke of the possibili
| ties of the race and of the glory tha
| should come to the man who is wil
|ing to sacrifice for the good of hi
|people. He said: “I see in Mr. Car;
Just such a man, He is willing t
jerk that somebody else may be ben
efited; and being that kind of a man
all honor and praise be his, and hi
name will ever live in Nashville a
the ages go by.”
Mr. S. P. Harris, Councilman fron
the Third Ward, spoke on good citi
zenship. He said to his mind, the Ne
| groes did not tay enough stress 01
| good citizenship, but that he though
|he discerned a deeper interest alon:
| those tines. Said he: “I have alway:
Jentertained some views along tha
| speeifie line, and which I hope a
|some time to express, for 1 believ
that those of us who are o!d enoug!
| and are inclined to think soberly, ow:
Jit to our fellow-men to give them th
benefit of our sober reflections.”
Prof. W. H. Fort, Grand Master 0
|the Oda Fellows of ‘Tennessee, sai
|that he had watched the trend o
things during the evening and in fac
the day had been converted into “Be
Carr Day.” Prof. Fort proved to b
swesl anntainta etih MEK. Clawata than
swinging on to Ben Carr's kite.”
Mr. T. G. Ewing said that he mere-
ly wanted to stand up and say,
chnec sal show which side he was
on.
Rev. 1. J. Jordan spoke in a like
manner, and said since the park was
not named “Ben Carr Park,” that a
monument should be erected in the
park to be known as the “Ben Carr
| Monument,” and when he had finished
speaking, Mr. ——— spoke out from
the audience ana said: “I will sub-
seribe the first five dollars.”
Capt. Alexander Richardson, of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, said in a few
brief remarks that he was glad to be
Present, as he had spent about thirty
years in the Army and had learned
more of the progress, of his people in
the South in three years than he had
|Tearned in the thirty. He said he had
traveled a great deal in different parts
jof the world, had participated in the
'Spanish-Ameriean War in Cuba .and
the Philippines, but could testify him-
self to the early life of Mr. Carr and
[was indeed delighted to be present to
bear the complimentary remarks
made about him and to witness the
dedication of Hadley Park.
Mr... P. Pope became a very con-
/spicuous figure when he arose and
‘said that he married his first wife he-
fore the War in the building where
the exercises were being held, and that
Jater on he carried his musket aud
‘helped to build forts around that
house. ‘He was very much moved by
‘the exercises of the occasion and as
‘he took is seat tears trickled down
is cheeks and he clapped his bands
for joy to see his peope dedicate a
park that liad been purchased for
their exclusive use on the very spot
where over forty-five years ago he
was a slave,
Mr. I. L. Moore spoke of the power
of one man, Said he: “God always
chose one man to carry out a scheme
|and then he instructed that man to
/get his partner, and to my mind, He
|instructed Mr, Carr to come to Nash:
ville and bring into reality a park,
|State Normal and Library for the col:
‘ord’ people.” =
| Dr @- W. Stevens sald that in his
lopinion a Ben Carr Institute wou'd do
greater honor to this man than mar-
| ble or stone, in that it would be a liv
|ing monument and would be set up in
|the hearts of many and would be the
|means of shaping the lives of boys
jand girls who would otherwise go
|astray.
| Mrs. B. J. Carr, the congenial wife
|of the master of ceremonies, said:
“Gent emen and Ladies: “I am toc
embarrassed to say anything, but |
| will just say that you all have said sc
| many good things about Mr. Carr that
|1 am afraid I will not be able to stay
jat home with him.” Mrs. Carr’s re
|marks brought forth great applause
Dr. F. A. Stewart was late in arriv

spoke of the benefits of parks, of the
home life of the people, He said Ne
gro men did not appreciate fully thei
wives,.and he urged upon those pres
ent to take the time to say to theit
fellow-men who did not appreciat«
their wives a word of instruction an

said, “Doctor, I had never thought o
it; of course I love my wife and |
thank you so much for calling my at
| tention to it, and I will never in m3
life be guilty of that charge again.”
| The exercises then came to a close
and the people were invited to inspec
tthe grounds and make themselves
fully at home. It was a great day ir
Nashville and an epoch-making day
and one that avill long be remembere
by those who were present. It is ¢
great stride in forty years from the
slave plantation to the blood-stainec
battle-field there has risen a park anc

freedom was settled in the great con

HADLEY PARK AN HISTORICAL
SPOT.
Se te eee ee Tare Lee
July 4th brought back reminiscences
of historical events that the Negro
children of Nashville’ could not find
if they searched history from now
unti] the millennium, Fortunately,
however, for the Negroes, a few of
the ante-bellum members of the race
reside in the city and from them has
been gained much information about
Nashville, which has possibly more
historic surroundings and places of
interest than any other city of the
South. Nashville, the battle-ground;
Nashville the neutral; Nashviile the
educational center; Nashville the city
of opportunities; Nashville the lead-
ing city in the South, that has sent
mofe men of the race into the bust
ness and professional world, stili has
‘much unwritten history about it con:
nected with the race. After the able
fuidresses by the Park Commission,
‘by the Mayor of the city, and by
prominent citizens from all over the
county had been responded to, the
raecleaapry address, delivering the
park over to the city of Nashville,
‘the fact was brought out by several
of the oldest citizens that right from
‘the very porch where His Honor, the
‘Mayor, deivered his splendid ad.
‘dress, followed by the Park Commis
‘sion, the noted Fred Douglass stood
forty years before and with eloquence
that made him live long in the mem.

his most celebrated talks. Mr. Doug.
lass, it 1s sald by some of the old
‘citizens, was entertained by the land
lord and landlady of the house, who
were looked upon as the most liberal
people in the South, who, while slave
owners, believed in the Declaration ot
Independence, that all men were cre-
ated free ard equal. A, characteristic
figure who was present and heard all
of the addresses declared to the mas.
ter of ceremonies that unless he spoke
he would burst. It was Mr. A. B
Pope, who 1s seventy-five years old,
Mr, Pope was given privilege to make

stood guard during the war over that
family and with the rifle and musket
he had protected them from invaders
and marauders who were infesting
this section of the country during and
after the war, He brought tears to
‘the eyes of those in the audience

lived long enough to witness the prog-
‘ress being made by the Negroes and
to know that God was in the plan.
He expressed undying gratitude to
the old inhabitants who at one time
declared that they were some anfong

CAPT. PECK COMMISSIONER AGRICULTURE
This week I want to talk to you farmers about the leaks on the farm. In the majority of cases the farmer spends money for the comforts and luxuries of life very sparingly. Spends just as little for comforts and luxuries as he can manage with. He denies himself those comforts he should have for the sake of economy, and at the same time, he allows things to go to waste that amount to much more than the comforts, he has denied himself, and it is just such leaks that I want to ta k about. There is no good reason for them; if they were stopped they would make such a difference to the farmer. He could have so many things that he feels under ordinary circumstances he cannot afford, and true enough, while the leaks continue. The farmer cannot see the leaks on his own farm but he can point out the leaks on his neighbor's farm. One leak found on almost every farm in the state is in the care of farm machinery. How far will you have to travel until you find some expensive farm machinery that is used a few days in the year, and you will see it exposed to the weather twelve months in the year, the damage by exposure was many times the wear on the machinery from actual use. The leak or loss to the farmers of Tennessee every year in neglect of farm machin

ery runs so high in thousands of dollars it is appalling, the farmer is indifferent to it and at the same time he denies himself nice clothes, books, papers; will not let his wife buy necessary dishes or linen for the dining room. Another leak on the farm is wasted time and the farmer would say that he worked harder and longer hours. In some cases even that is true but he did not do the right thing at the right time. He waited about breaking his ground until it got too dry; it broke up cloddy; he did not get it in good condition before he planted; he found clods all summer and the crop was not satisfactory, all because he did not begin at the right time, and let his work push him instead of pushing his work. We all know how indifferent many farmers are to the value of money. They think they work harder and 'older' hours when in fact they work fewer hours in the year than the business man or the manufacturer. I do not mean the farmer who is building up his land and making count. Just as the manufacturer or business man, he has no time to drop important work to go hunting or fishing or to store to talk politics; he does those things but he does when he is up with his work. There are numerous other leaks, land washing, neglect in care of live stock, improperly prepared ration for his stock, causing waste of feed with no returns for the value. Loss comes from improper attending to 'stock letting them stay out in bad weather, irregular feeding. When we begin to look for 'weaks we find them on every hand. Not with the up-to-date farmer, for it is his ability to find and stop the leaks that makes him progressive. The farmer who is energetic and intelligent, who keeps all the leaks stopped on his farm, is making money in proportion, he is getting more for the effort than the merchant or manufacturer. They have long since learned that they cannot hope to succeed if they fail to stop all the leaks. When the farmer is careful to stop the leaks he will pass them all in rewards for his efforts. This is not conjecture but proven facts by the progressive farmers in every county in the state
POOR SAINTS' HOME.
"We intend to take care of every poor saint or aged person belonging to this church and congregation from now on or else I'll not die happy. We are going to purchase a large two-story brick house with plenty of yard, and see to it that the women and men, who have labored here with me and my predecessors shall not have to live from hand to mouth," was the substance of a statement made by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., the pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, on Cedar street, last Sunday. Sunday was communion day and at three services during the day the house was crowded. More than 1,500 were out in the afternoon when full announcement of the rally and plans for raising funds to purchase the home were made known.
Dr. Clark stated that in October he shall have pastured Mr. Olive Church twenty years and he did not believe the Lord would take him away before the work now begun was fully completed. He announced a committee of 100 members to raise $10.00 each by the fourth Sunday in this month and also gave out the names of ten men, all members of the church, who had already agreed to give $100.00 each. According to this p'an more than two thousand dollars have been pledged. He plans to be in the possession of the building and property so that it can be ready for dedication in connection with his twentieth anniversary in October.
The officers and pastor of the church have all been working on the plans for some time, but Sunday was the first public announcement stating that a place had been selected and that things would be pushed to a sneedy conclusion. It is known that Mt. Olive has the largest membership, as well as the largest congregation, in Nashville and is one of the few churches in the state that is out of debt. Their building, grounds, furniture and holdings are valued at fifty thousand dollars.
This church was planned by the late Rev. R. T. Hoffman about twenty-six years ago, but, when the present pastor took charge they were worshipping in the basement story. His labor has resulted in the magnificent church edifice so well equipped with pews, pipe organ, cathedral glass windows and a spacious Sunday-school auditorium seated with about 500 opera chairs. The Sunday-school is the largest in Nashville. They have a "Metoka" class of men with an enrollment of 112, and a "Galeda" class of young women with an enrollment of 69. The Sunday-school roll as reported to the Sunday-School Congress was 669. Dr. Clark says that several wealthy people have promised to help on the Poor Saints' Home, but that he wants his people, the members of the church, to raise the first $2,000. The church is now taking care of its disabled age members, paying their rent and supplying them with clothes fuel during the winter and other necessities. Since the church is chartered the home will be only a department of the church. It is to be located somewhere near, where it will be convenient for the inmates to attend church and the members and friends to visit the home.

Notwithstanding that much has been said about immigrants, undesirable and otherwise, taking homeesteads in the Northwest, Mr. Andrew J. Napier, a prominent real estate and insurance man of the 736 Nelson street, Vancouver, B. C., has written Mr. Henry Alen Boyd, Secretary of the Nashville Globe, urging him to send him the names of families who desire to immigrate into the most fertile regions of Canada. He said to Mr. Boyd: "Send me the names and addresses of as many respectable colled families in your district, as you may know, who desire to come to settle in Canada, province of British Columbia.
"Comeing here from the States seven years ago, I have been very successful in my several undertakings; I now feel it my duty as far as possible, to try to be of some service to my race. What I wish them to know is that I have 400 acres of rich black loam, garden land, all cleared, divided in blocks of five acres. I will build good comfortable homes of from two to ten rooms, barns, sheds, etc., and give them the greatest opportunity of their lives to pay for them. Only a small payment required, balance to run five years, can be paid off in two years from produce raised. Railway and electric lines pass through the property, close to churches, schools and post offices.
"Maps, plans, etc., ready August 15th. Advise others who may be interested, to write me at once."
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Yours faithfully,
ANDREW J. NAPIER.

MR. JOHNSON AGAIN IN CHARGE.
After an internship of about 35
days, during which time the Majestic
was leased out, the proprietor, Mr.
A. N. Johnson, has again assumed
control. This announcement was
made this week, with the assurance
that for the present month, at least,
high-class picture shows and vaudeville will continue.
The very best to be had in Nash-
ville, stated the proprietor and
manager, will be given the public. With
the opening of the theatrical season
the very best shows will be brought
this way.
The first to make Nashville and occupy the boards at the Majestic will be Black Patti's Troubadours, the world-wide celebrated stage entertainers. The celebrated Siseretta Jones, better known as Black Patti, is still the star of the company which she founded. The exact date for the appearance of this show in Nashville has not yet been given. Mr. Johnson states that there is a long line of treats in store for the theatre-goers at the Majestic for the coming season.
RICHARD HILL, JR., ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, WILL PRACTICE IN ILLINOIS.
Richard Hill, Jr., a recent graduate from the law department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, has decided to practice in all the courts of Illinois, and has opened up his office in the Mid-City Bank Building in the down-town district of Chicago. The young man is able and deserving, and we bespeak for him a lucrative practive in the windy city. The citizens of Nashville have cause to congratulate themselves over the usual success of all the young men that have been sent out to make their way in the various professions all over the land, and even in Europe. The majority of all of them, when fully prepared for their chosen profession, have made good, and we feel assured that young Mr. Hill will prove no exception to the rule.
MRS. THOURBOURNE COMING.
Assurances were given out this week at the Baptist headquarters that Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Thourbourne, who are now located at Ancon on the Canal Zone, will visit Nasville in September. Rev. Mr. Thourbourne is owking under the
auspices of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, of which Rev. R. H. Boyd is the Secretary. His work there on the Zone, according to the reports made, has been a phenomenal success, he having organized a school, built three churches and a parsonage, and added to his membership about five hundred. He is said to be the first ordained Negro minister on the Zone or in the Republic of Panama. He is a graduate of Benedict College, Columbia, S. C., and was married to Miss Bessie Martin, of this city, Mrs. Thourbourne was a member of the celebrated H. T. G. M. Club, and was employed at the National Baptist Publishing Board. Rev. and Mrs. Thourbourne will visit Mrs. Thourbourne's aunt, Mrs. Q. Hamilton, of Hynes street, and Mrs. Thourbourne will probably remain in the city several months.
GRAND MASTER FORT MAKING
HIS BOUNDS.
Into the hands of the above officers is placed the work of canvassing the work of the year in Odd Fellow's circles and making a final statement of the condition to the various lodges through Secretaries Turner and Crawford.
Because of the deep interest being manifested throughout the state in the campaign for Ten Thousand Odd Fellows being pushed by Grand Master Fort, this meeting will be of more than passing interest, and predictions are being made that a large number of members will go to Pulaski to witness the sessions of these boards and gather at first hand the information so very interesting at this time.
Special' rallies are being held throughout the state, at which rallies Grand Master Fort is giving, in a forceful way, the facts that are making Odd Fellows.
Powerful meetings have a ready been held at Shelbyville, Dickson, Paris, McKenzie and Brownsville, while dates have been arranged for similar meetings at Trezevant. Covington, Brighton, Hals, Newbern Troy, Cumberland Furnace, Wavery and points in Middle and East Tennessee.
PROF. W. H. FORT. A. B.
Aggressiveness and Progression are the watchdogs of the Grand Master and under his leadership all forces are hard at work and harmoniously contending for supremacy in this laudable effort.
In conversation with the Grand Master recently it was earned that at east three deputies are to be placed in each congressional district, which deputies will be commissioned about August 15th, that the fiscal year may begin with strong men representing the Grand Lodge in all parts of the state. Each deputy will be asked to organize at least three new lodges, that the work of increasing membership may be systematically carried on.
He further stated that strenuous efforts will be put forth to get the Households into the Endowment campaign, since each can have a policy for $200, being in this respect on equality with the men. Relative to
NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JULY 12. 1912
death claims, the Grand Master stated that a large number have been ordered paid and a large amount paid out therefore as coming reports will show. It is the opinion of all that under the present administration Odd Felishhip has received a greater impetus and more advertising and has experienced a larger growth than ever—which growth argues well for the tact and foresight of those in lead of the forces in Tennessee.

JACK JOHNSON'S CAFE OPENS
AUSPICIOUSLY.
Chicago, July 10.—The initial opening of Jack Johnson's Cafe De Champion, 41 West. Thirty-first street street was as wild an opening as can have been witnessed had Louis Martin himself established a Chicago restaurant. It was an occasion of some "ecat." The champion said so himself as he beamed at the mosaic tile-floored grill room, which held 400 persons, while there were seats for 208. Then he trooped upstairs to the pompier room and estimated the costs. Outside the doors 5,000 persons bettled with six police in a wild endeavor to gain entrance to one of the three parlor, but they battled vainly.
Opens at 9 O'clock.
The opening was scheduled for 9 o'clock. Two hours before that time the street in front was thronged from Clark to Dearborn streets. At 9:10 the carpenters nailed the last board into the place. At 9:25 the head waiter drove up in his scarlet limousine. He was attired in full evening dress and wore white kid gloves. It was 9:45 when the champion himself arrived at the door in his racer and was pushed, dragged and knocked through the crowd. At 9:47 he uplifted his right hand, "Let her go," he said to the orchestra and the most historic event of "Lil" Artha's life since he captured the belt was written. An air from "La Paloma" was the orchestra leader's selection. It was followed by the "Barcarole" from "Tales of Hoffman." The crowd surged in until the doors were closed.
Jack Johnson, painty outshone by the head waiter in regards to dress, sat at a side table. He wore a modest white and brown striped suit, a white shirt and a bow tie.

BROWNSVILLE NOTES
Pu aski and Giles are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the Executive and Endowment Boards of District Grand Lodge No. 6, of Tennessee, scheduled to meet in biennial session Tuesday, August 13.
Unlike other organizations, Tennessee Odd Fellows do not have annual meetings, deeming it less expensive and promotive of a deeper feeling of interest to meet biennially, hence during the year that the Grand Lodge is not in session these boards jointly represent the executive power of this great body and transact all business. As present constituted, the Executive Board is composed of Grand Master W. H. Fort, Nashville, who is also President of the Endowment Board; Deputy Grand Master Hammum, Knoxville; Grand Secretary Turner, Pulaski; Grand Treasurer Hamilton, Knoxville; Grand Director Patterson, Nashville; Endowment Secretary Crawford, Memphis; Endowment Treasurer Booker, Trenton; Medical Director Hunter, Columbia; Grand Auditors Campbell, Harriman Armstrong, Columbia; Harris, Memphis, and Mrs. S. J. Carter, Nashville lady representative of Endowment Board.

REPORT IS SUBMITTED OF Y. M. C. A. WORK.
Secretary Suggests Larger Quarters —Week's Revival for Men is Planned.
The Committee of Management of the Y. M. C. A. met Monday night, July 1, and elected the following officers: H. L. Keith, Chairman; F. N. Green, Vice-Chairman; A. M. Townsend, Treasurer; and T. B. Hardiman Recording Secretary. The Secretary William N. Sanders, made the following report to the Committee of Management and the newly elected officers:
"To the Committee of Management—R. F. Boyd, S. S. Caruthers, H. A. Boyd, H. L. Keith, A. M. Townsend, William F. Crawford, F. N. Green, T. B. Hardiman and A. N. Johnson—Gentlemen: Three months ago, or April 1, 1912, we began work as Executive Secretary of the Colored Men's Branch of the Nashville Y. M. C. A. At this meeting we wish to make a brief statement concerning this work of mutual helpfulness in which we are engaged and to make some recommendations for your consideration. While this is not intended for a quarterly report, yet we must not omit recounting briefly some results of our past three months' work and observations.
"For the past three months we have made a close study of the field and its needs. Our work has been confined mainly to the planning for and conducting of the Sunday afternoon meetings, which have been well attended. For the past three months beginning April 14th, we have had an average attendance of fifty-five. The old Board of Directors, in whose hands we found the Association, has rendered valuable assistance in advertising and promoting the interest of the work, for which we express our hearty thanks. We are also grateful to the Nashville Globe, the Clarion and the three daily papers of the city for the space they have so liberally given for notices and for brief accounts of the meetings each week. The ministers and public men of the city have responded readily to whatever call we have made of them.
"We have collected from all

LEADING NEWS BOY OF NASHVILLE.
G. W. Gore, Jr., has already demonstrated what the boys of Nashville and the State of Tennessee can do if they will only hustle. Less than six weeks ago he began selling the Nashville Globe on the streets of the city. He has advanced rapidly till during the past two weeks he has eclipsed all former records made by news boys, though his beginning was very small.
The first week he only took out ten papers, but he has doubled his order each week till two weeks ago he took out one hundred papers and has not fallen below that number sincesince. His customers are found in every section of the city. He gets his papers on Friday and by Saturday afternoon he has made complete delivery and has settled with the Nashville Globe Publishing Company for all papers sold.
G. W. Gore, Jr., is the son of Mr. G. W. Gore, who for a number of years was employed by the Frank Morse Clothing Store, but afterwards entered Walden University and graduated from the Theological Department. Young Mr. Gore has remained with Mr. E. W. Birdsong from the time he was one year old. His record demonstrates what a boy can do who earns desire to make good. What G. W. Gore, Jr., has done other boys can do.
sources collections at Sunday meetings and membership fees, $33.08.
The total expense to date for printing, office rent, lights, etc., amounts to $47.95. The office in Pythian Temple, 428 Fifth avenue, North, was secured about a month ago at a cost of $6 per month. It is a splendid meeting place for men, but the limited means at our disposal has hindered us in supplying it with even the most ordinary attractions, such as current literature, indoor games and a bath department.
"The results that we shall be able to show a year hence will depend upon the amount of hard, efficient and zealous work, coupled with earnest prayer, we shall, in a united way, actually put into the association.
"In keeping with the above statement we wish to submit the following recommendations for your consideration:
"1. That the Committee of Management adopt some plan whereby we may raise the necessary finances for securing larger quarters and supplying the same with wholesome attractions for young men such as bath rooms, shower baths, a reading department and wholesome indoor games.
"2. That we plan for a week's revival for men some time during the fall and winter and also arrange for
a fall and winter program as soon as possible, which shall consist of an educational department, physical culture department and a religious department.
"3. That we proceed at once to consider plans for work of a more pronounced nature than above mentioned. We should, at an early date, decide what we mean to do about the purchase of property and the erection of a modern plant for the young men of our city."
The Secretary leaves today for the secretarial institute to be held at Arundel-on-the-Bay, Md., July 3-30. He will spend two or three weeks visiting other associations for the purpose of getting some new ideas and suggestions about Y. M. C. A. work.

THE TAFT TICKET.
SECTION
TWO
If the fight at Chicago really stiffened Republican determination and hardened soft muscles for the fray, as the Boston Transcript (Ind. Rep.) optimistically believes, instead of hopelessly awakening and dividing the party, this fact may explain the confidence now shown by many Taft supporters. Undismayed by gleefle Democrats and bolting Progressives, these editors point to Taft and Sherman as a winning ticket, and to the Chicago platform as a mighty asset in the campaign, a document whose progressiveness is guaranteed by men like Governor Hadley of Missouri. Sharing the notable optimism of the Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.) and Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.), the Denver Republican (Rep.) stoutly asserts that "the right thing has been done ...Taft will be re-elected." In renominating Taft and Sherman the Republican party has put forward the strongest names it coul offer for the ticket, in the opinion of the Detroit Free Press (Ind.). The Washington Herald (Ind.), too, is thoroughly convinced that "the Republics can and will elect Taft." Such confidence is generally accompanied by approval of the acts of the -Taft Administration, and a belief that the Roosevelt party will cut but a small figure in the campaign.
which there are a host of papers which, while less inclined to prophecy success in the November election, are no less certain that the result at Chicago was in itself a great moral victory, and that the party owed it to itself to give Mr. Taft a renomination, and that the party owed it to itself to give Mr. Taft a renomination, in words not unlike the President's own, the Kansas City Journal (Rep.) calls it the greatest triumph since the organization of the party, going a step farther, the Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.) calls for an outburst of patriotic giving upon the part of "every patriotic and sober-minded American"—for "the greatest danger that has menaced this Republic since Secession died at Appomattox has been averted". This, it adds, is "the meaning of the rejection of Theodore Roosevelt and all his works and ways, and of the renomination of William Howard Taft on a platform of stalwart Americanism by the National Convention." Yet even The Inter Ocean deems it "idle to ignore the difficulties of Mr. Taft's election." And the same idea seems to haunt the minds of other loyal supporters who acclaim his indorsement as a deserved tribute, as a vindication of the Constitution, as a retention of party ideals. Once more the St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.) sees the Republican flag waving "in decisive triumph over menacing and sinister forces." But all these Republian papers, as, for instance, the Buffalo Express, the Dayton Journal, the Pittsburgh Dispatch and Chronicle, Telegraph, and the Baltimore American, at least tacitly admit the possibility of defeat. To quote a leading editorial in Mr. Charles P. Taft's Cincinnati Times-Star:
The renomination of Mr. Taft was important not so much a victory of an individual or a faction, but as a victory for the party itself. Roosevelt held out the temptation of temporary profit at the expense of principle and devotion to the right. Political parties have succumbed to such temptations in the past, following what appeared at the beginning the line of least resistance, only to find that in the 'long run a party, like an individual, must hold true to principle in order to keep a permanent and honorable place in the world.
"It is said that the ticket nominated at Chicago can not win in November. The number of people who subscribe to this belief will be considerably smaller a month from now than it is to-day. However, no matter what may befall in the election, the Republican party, in refusing to be fooled or tempted or bullied by Roosevelt, has earned the thanks of every thinking American. As for the President himself, history will speak in no uncertain terms of the service he rendered his country in standing firm against the grasping ambition of a man who for the first time in our history has thrown over the Republic of Washington and Lincoln the shadow of a dictatorship."
With such sentiments the anti-Roosevelt New York World (Dem.) and Commercial and Indianapolis News (Ind.) are in entire agreement. The Springfield Republican (Ind.) calls the President's nomination deserved, but his re-election "dubious." Almost certain of Democratic success are the New York American (Dem.), Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.), and New York Evening Post. The Post seeming to find in Mr. Roosevelt a more formidable opponent than the President. It is a "whoopless and hopeless ticket," the Buffalo Inquirer (Dem.) concludes.
Turning to the Progressive press we find a firm and almost unanimous conviction that the "talmud" upon the organization and every act of the Chicago convention will keep many Republicans from considering its nomination a binding party action. "Confronted with the necessity of meeting the insistent and imperative demands of a newly risen people inspired by a new faith and a glorious hope," those in control at Chicago, says the New York Evening Mal' (Prog. Rep.), "could do nothing better than to force into nomination the two discredited leaders whose answer has been negative, and to refurbish adroitly and empfully the outworn declarations of the past." Refused a nomination by the people, because of "his innumerable failures and his public admission of unparadable shortcomings," Mr. Taft accepted a "scandalous nomination" from a "packed national convention."
NASHVILLE GLOBE.
But, roundly asserts the progressive Louisville Post (Ind), "next November the cause of corruption will have to be supported by an army stronger than the Army of the United States to stifle the voice of the American voter." His defeat, prophesies the pro-Roosevelt Spokane Speokesman Review, "will be more humiliating than that of President Harrison in 1892." And the New York Press (Prog, Rep), unable to figure out any possible chance of success for either Republican, Taft or Roosevelt, sees only a "Republican party ripped into shreds," and "everywhere, on Election Day, the assurance of Republican tragedy."
Governor Hadley's statement that the Chicago platform, which he helped to draw up, is on the whole "the most progressive platform we have ever presented to the American people," is loudly echoed by the Taft press. The platform seems masterly, strong, and sensible to the Taft Republican Dayton Journal. Any Republican can stand on it, aver the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph and Philadelphia Inquirer and News. Nay it is even "broad enough, fair enough, progressive enough to suit any American who cares more for this great country than his small self," remarks the San Francisco Call.
The tariff plank is especially pleasing to the St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep). "In declaring protective duties vital to the maintenance of the American workingman's higher standards of living, the Republican platform strikes the keynote of the party's position on the question." On it "the Republicans will be able to make a winning campaign." To the Albany Journal, owned by Mr. Barnes, the keynote clause was that calling for "self-controlled representative government." "President Taft stands for re-election upon a platform that gives assurance of the maintenance of constitutional, sanely progressive government. "To doubt that that is what the majority of the people want would be to doubt their intelligence, their sanity."
But there is little mercy for this "Taft platform" from the opposition press. Most emphatic is the Denver News (Dem.): "In every line this remarkable document affirm Taft allegiance to special privilege and insults and defies the people." "A platform of despair, of houelessness," the Charleston News and Courier (Dem.) names it: "there is no man in America so popular that on such an instrument he could ride to the White House." "A dreary waste of words," and "a straddle," it seems to the Baltimore Evening Sun (Ind.), and to the Philadelphia Record (Ind. Dem.), "not a call to action, but a prayer to hold together." "There is scarcely a pretense of progressivism" in it, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Its "promises of action along progressive lines" are but "promises to catch votes," and in the opinion of the Detroit News (Ind.), would never be fulfilled in the event of Taft's election. The more moderate Springfield Republican (Ind.) finds "admirable features," but "there too and there in the platform rather too and there in the platform Barnes."
A summary of this platform so vigorously assailed by its bites and so earnestly defended by its friends, this document framed by a committee including such men as ex-Vice-President Fairbanks, Nicholas Murray Butler, and Governor Hadley, follows:
After emphatically stating its belief in "our self-controlled representative democracy, which is a government of laws, not of men, and in which order is the prerequisite of progress," the platform goes on to declare that that party is one of advancing and constructive statesmanship which will strive in the States as well as in the nation "to enact the necessary legislation to safeguard the public health; to limit effectively the labor of women and children; to protect wage-earners engaged in dangerous occupations; to enact comprehensive and generous workman's compensation laws in place of the present wasteful and unjust system of employers' liability, and in all possible ways to satisfy the just demand of the people for the study and solution of the complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare." The platform "raffirms" the party's intention to uphold the "authority and integrity of the courts." It declares the recall of judges "unnecessary and unwise," but favors "solution as may be necessary to simplify the process by which any judge who is found derelict in his duty may be removed from office." Opposition to monopoly and indemnity of the Sherman Antitrust Law are followed by a demand for the enactment of supplementary antitrust legislation and a federal trade commission. The tariff plank contains reaffirmation of the party's protective policy and asks for import duties high enough to yield a sufficient revenue and to protect adequately American industries and wages. "Some of the existing import duties are too high and should be reduced. Readjustment should be made from time to time to conform to changing conditions and to reduce excessive rates, but without injury to any American industry. To accomplish this, correct information is indispensable. This information can best be obtained by an expert commission." The platform approves the investigation into the cost of living, and demands banking and currency revision which will "prevent the recurrence of money panies" and also safeguard

POLICE STOP FIGHT IN 9TH FLYNN LOSING
FLYNN IS AS HELPLESS AS A CHILD
Las Vegas, N. M., July 4.—The Jack Johnson-Flynn forty-five round fight for the heavyweight championship was brought to a close in the ninth round by the state police.
Captain Fied Fornoff, personal representative at the ringside of Governor McDonadn, declared that it was no longer a boxing contest; that it was a brutal exhibition and that Flynn's foul tactics made its continuance impossible. He jumped into the ring with his deputies and drove fighters and officials who followed him to the corners. Referee Ed. W. Smith then announced that Johnson had won on points and the fight was over.
to collect his wagers on himself. He drove there from the ringside in his auto and was forced to address the crowd in the big room before he could leave for his camp.
Has Nothing to Say.
Flynn was rushed to his camp at the arena. He was not hurt cuts and bruises on his face being the only damage. He had nothing to say in defense of the showing he made.
The fight was utterly lacking in interest. It was like a training bout at Johnson's camp outside of the blood Flynn lost. There was not a
Flynn displayed no ability throughout the fight. He was cut about the face until blood ran down his breast in a stream. He was utterly helpless from the first round on, and by the sixth was deliberately trying to butt the champion's chin with his head.
Warned for Butting.
Time after time as Johnson held him powerless in the clinches, Flynn jerked his head upward. Smith warned him repeated y, but it did no good. In the seventh he began leaping upward every time he could work his head under Johnson's chin. Flynn's feet were both off the floor time and again with the energy he put into his bounds. Sometimes he

seemed to leap two feet into the air with frantic plunges at the elusive black jaw above him.
Referee Smith forced Flynn back toward his corner a half dozen times. "Stop that butting," he would say, shaking his finger in Flynn's face, "stop it or I will disqualify you."
"The — nigger's holding me," Flynn roared back. "He's holding me all the time. He's holding me like this," and he offered to illustrate on the referee. Smith evaded the blood smeared arms held toward him and waved the men together again.
Champion Only Smiles.
In the next clinch—it was in the eighth round—Flynn fung himself upward again. Smith jumped between them and warned him once more. "Next time you do it I'll disqualify you," he shouted at Flynn; but changed his mind, for it happened again and again in that round and repeatedly in the ninth before the police took a hand.
Through it all the champion was smiling. He evaded Flynn's attack with the utmost ease, whether the Pueblo man led with his hands or his head. Only once in the nine rounds did he show any wish to end the fight and yet ringside opinion was unanimous that he could have put Flynn out at any time he happened to fancy, whether in the first or the ninth round. The champion opened up only that once, early in the fight, when Flynn landed his on'y good blows, right and left hooks to the jaw delivered during a clinch.
Johnson appeared nettled at his own carelessness and smashed a right upperercet through Flynn's guard which rocked the white man on his feet. Then the champion smiled again and went back to the monotonous chopping upercuts in the clinches which reduced Flynn's face to a b'oody mass in each round.
Flynn Lacks Steam.
Apparently Johnson did not attempt to hit hard. He contented himself with a slow, coldly scientific chopping, every blow finding its way through the barricade of gloves and elbows behind which Flynn crouched. It was a perfect exhibition of guarding and hitting in the clinches, as far as the champion was concerned. Not a blow Flynn started reached him with any steam behind it. They were smothered or tossed aside unless Johnson chose to allow his opponent to batter away at his stomach, smiling the while over Flynn's shoulder.
When the fight was over there was not a mark on Johnson's body beyond a cut inside his lower MP which bled slightly for a few minutes.
Immediately after the fight Johnson hastened to the betting counter
to collect his wagers on himself. He drove there from the ringside in his auto and was forced to address the crowd in the big room before he could leave for his camp.
Has Nothing to Sav
Flynn was rushed to his camp from the arena. He was not hurt, cuts and bruises on his face being the only damage. He had nothing to say in defense of the showing he made.
The fight was utterly lacking in interest. It was like a training bout at Johnson's camp outside of the blood Flynn lost. There was not a cheer throughout the nine rounds and the crowd accepted the action of the police with apparent delight.
Long before the end did come ringside opinion seemed to favor the view that Flynn was eager to be disqualified.
He was he pless as a child and certainly made no effort to disguise his attempt to do with his skull what his gloves could not accomplish.
NO MATCH FOR JOHNSON.
Flynn Loses to Champion—Fouled Continuity loss to Courier
Continuously—Loss to Curley.
Las Vegas, N. M., July 5—As was expected by almost every man who journeyed to this burg, Jack Johnson the Negro champion heavy-weight, easily defeated Jim Fynn, self-styled "white hope." The battle lasted nine rounds. Then the state police interfered and Referee Smith awarded the black man the decision. Fynn, who was badly worsened in every session, seemed determined to lose on a foul rather than by a knockout. Johnson fought carefully and generally within the rules, except for frequent holding, and won the sympathies of an adverse crowd. Art Greiner of Chicago, the former auto racer who was interested in the venture with Jack Curley, was bitter against Fynn for losing in the manner he did and did not mince his words.
"Flynn had a chance to make good," said Greiner, "but he did not prove equal to the occasion in any particular. He not only fought a four-fight, but spolled the pictures for us by his uncalled for work.
"The pictures were the only chance we had to get even. Flynn acted the part of an ingrate, while Johnson acted the part of a gentleman.
"We lost $22,000 on the venture. Up to noon we had taken in a little over $29,000, but we paid Johnson his $31, in full. I am only sorry that the fight was not a better one. We had knockers from the start to the ast, and probably they are now satisfied."
Arrangements had been made for a crowd of over 25,000. There were on'y 4,000 in the audience. Mrs. Jack Johnson was there with $30,000 worth of "rocks."
Jim Flynn was a partner in the contest with Curley and will receive nothing for his months of training and beating. He may be forced to "put up" if he has anything. Jack Curley's promotion expenses were heavy—Dolly Drovers Telegram.
WANTS BEN CARR MONUMENT.
While the speaking at Hadley Park was at its highest pitch on Ju y 4th, and while the vast crowd was present doing honor to the occasion and giving honor to whom honor was due, a gentleman in the audience, with a clear, modulated voice, declared that a monument should be erected in Hadley Park for Ben Carr. He was so thoroughly in accord with the sentiment that had been expressed and so appreciative of the yeoman service rendered by Mr. Carr, he moved the erection of the monument, stating there were a sufficient number of Negroes in Nashville to put this monument in the park without a financial handicap to a single one. He stated he wanted to put down the first $5.00. He proceeded to offer the money, but persuaded to hold the $5.00 in reserve. Mr. Carr then stated that he was not ready to die, the Lord was not going to take him away until he had done much more work, and that those fellows who were waiting to take his place would have a long wait. He persuaded the audience not to start such a movement until after his death, which he stated he hoped would be at least fifty years longer.
VISITS NASHVILLE—BUYS HOME
After an absence of several years, Prof. T. G. Walker, who is now the principal of the Washington School, of Neelyville, Mo., paid Nashville a visit. He left last week for the West, but before leaving purchased a beautiful home at the corner of Helman street and Sixteenth avenue, North, paying the sum of two thousand dollars for it. Prof. Walker attended Walden University, but left here in 1907 to seek his fortune in the West. It is said that he has made an excellent record in the state of Missouri. His mother, who lives at Centervil, came over with him and assisted in the selection of the property which will be rented for the present.
Miss Willie Henley, of 25 Garland avenue, who has been teaching in Louisiana, is to spend a month at home with her parents.
THE NEW PARTY.
Will the new party born in Chicago on June 22 die of malnutrition or other infantile disease, as the scotters predict, or will it, as the most sanguine of its friends declare, grow so rapidly to man's estate as to be able to defeat in November the Goliaths of Republicanism and Democracy, together with all lesser antagonists? In any case it is evident that, for an infant not yet even christened, the new party is causing a remarkable commotion among the politicians, and occupying a great deal of space in the newspapers. Already such influential Republican and Independent papers as the Chicago Tribune and Post, the Philadelphia North American, the Kansas City Star and Times, the Boston Journal, the Washington Times, the Baltimore News, Pittsburgh Leader, the Emporia Gazette, the Spokane Spokesman-Review the San Francisco Bulletin, the Los Angeles Tribune and Express, the Wisconsin State Journal, the Indianapolis Star, the Munice Star, the Terre Haute Star, and the Louisville Have rallied to the support of this new movement in the political field, and the same course has been followed, says the San Francisco Bulletin, by two-thirds of the country press of the Pacific Coast. While the new party has not yet held its first convention, and is still officially nameless, correspondents report that the work of local organization is proceeding rapidly in Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, and many other cities, while the problems of national organization are in the hands of a temporary committee composed of governors, senators, newspaper proprietors, a judge, an ex congressman, an ex-cabinet officer and others, representing in all some fifteen States. Altho Governors Haddley, of Missouri, Deneen, of Illinois and Aldrich, of Nebraska, who fought under the Roosevelt banner in the Coliseum convention, refused to follow it beyond the Republic, told the leaders who stand with the Cololion do not seem to be at all war ried over these desertions. "The new movement will go right ahead; nothing will stop it," declares Governor Johnson of California. "There must be no compromise, no straddle, says Colonel Roosevelt, who adds: "shall fight the battle through to the end."
In answer to the remark of a Taft delegate that it takes money to run even a reform campaign, and that "it remains to be seen whether the syndicate that has been underwriting the Colonel's aspirations for a regular third-term nomination will care to subscribe to any further issues of Roosevelt securities," a correspondent of the New York Times (Dem.) points out that the new party already numbers among its adherents such men of wealth as Gifford and Amos Pinchot, Charles R. Crane, William Finn, George W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey, Daniel Hanna, Senator Bourne, Oscar S. Straus and Alexander H. Revell. The same correspondent states that popular interest in the new party is spontaneously taking the form of contributions to its campaign fund.
California indoles the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt as the leader of the new party, declares the progressive San Francisco Bulletin which goes on to say:
"In the campaign preceding the open primary in this State it recognized him as the people's champion. It gave him 77,000 plurality, and the theft of a convention has not shattered its fealty. Greater than so-called party regularity, greater than tradition, greater than the fate of factions or of individuals, is the mandate of the people. Governor Johnson has taken the only course which the shamelessness and obtuseness of the Republican bosses left open to him. There will be some timid ones, like Senator Borah of Idaho, Governor Deneen, of Illinois, and the late Mr. Hadley of Missouri, whose head was turned by a bit of applause, but the rank and file of the Republican party is with the new party, and the great rank and file of the country's citizenry will follow unfalteringly."
"Roosevelt has fought for the people's right to rule, and if the people are resolved to rule they must now fight for him," says the Los Angeles Express, and The Tribune of the same city "resolutely pledges its support" to the new party, remarking at the same time: "As the Republican party was founded to free the blacks from physical slavery, so the Progressive party is founded to free all men and women from the economic and political servitude to which plutocracy has reduced the people of this nation." "Standdattism throws down the ganttief and the Progressive party, instantly organized, takes its up," remarks the Spokane Spokesman-Review, which enlistes itself under the Roosevelt banner and rejoices that "the fight for the square deal is on." "The day of dust-throwing is over," says the Chicago Tribune, while The Evening Post, of the same city, after pointing to its twenty years of loyalty to the Republican party, goes on to speak as follows of President Taft's renomination and Colonel Roosevelt's new-party candidacy:
"In our judgment President Tafft's nomination was a tainted nomination. There were in it trickery and fraud. Stript to its practical essentials, it was a nomination made by a minority instead of a majority. "The miserable twenty-one votes above the nominating point which the 'steam-roller drivers were able to muster fade instantly away under scrutiny from any standpoint of representative determination. Subtract the delegates from Alaska. Hawaii."
JULY 12,
1912
Philippine Islands, and Porto Rico, who represent no electoral votes, and the margin shrinks to nine. Subtract next Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia, where there is no real Republican party, and the 561 becomes 312. Subtract still further the forty-eight votes in Arizona, California, Washington and Texas which were given to Roosevelt by the people, and taken from him by the national committee, and the total is 264. Even these ultimate figures shrink almost to nothingness when deprived of the votes of States like New York, Indiana, Michigan and Colorado, where political trickery stop the people from registering their free choice.
"We have believed from the first that the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt or Mr. Taft was a question for the people to determine; we have believed that the people finally showed their overwhelming preference for Roosevelt at the primaries; we believe now that they should be allowed to say whether or not they wish Roosevelt to carry forward their banner by means of a new party.
"If the people want the new party, they will have it. And if they demonstrate at the proposed convention in August that the demand for it is sincerely and earnestly that of the Progressive majority, they should go into the Presidential fight with a fair field and a chance to win."
"We can and do support Colonel Roosevelt in his appeal to the people to decide whether or not they wish such a new party. In their hands be it. Throughout the next six weeks they will have to make one of the most momentous decisions in our national history."
"This is no bolt," insists the Philadelphia North American; "it is the beginning of a national effort to effect a great moral purpose, and its strength will grow as men understand that their rights have been stolen, and it is for their re-establishment that the fight is being made." "From the standpoint of law, justice and morality," insists the Pittsburgh Leader, "the action of the Taft convention was invalid, and has no binding force on the Republican." Mr. Moore's paper goes on to say: "Theodore Roosevelt was nominated by the people long before the counterfeit, boss-controlled convention assembled in Chicago. "That nomination has been ratified by an informal convention of regularly elected delegates, and will be further indoised by a later convention fresh from the people."
The cause of popular government was never in such peril as it is today, declares the Louisville Post, "and the men conspiring to overthrow it fear no one but Roosevelt." Him they fear "because his voice voices a people the bipartisan bosses had drugged into insensibility." Ninety per cent, of the voters in the Republican States today are loyal to principles rather than to party banners," remarks the Madison Wisconsin State Journal, which predicts that the new party will triumph in the year of its birth." "The ultimately most desirable thing to happen is a third party anyway." thinks the Newark News, because "it would retain no loyalities to or hampering affiliations with those not greatly progressive, and for once we would get a real line-up on a real issue, altho the first few contests might not give a true picture of relative strength." "The Progressive party will be a young man's party, a party of the present and future; not of the past," declares the Boston Journal: "It will be progressive in the unbuilding of industry and commerce; it will be constructive, not destructive; it will be progressive in all that is sane and sound and substantial and right and just." The remarkable initial showing of strength in favor of the new party, Mr. Munsey's Boston paper goes on to say, is best presented by a consideration of the facts about the electoral college and the recent primaries. To quote:
"There will be 531 votes in the electoral college; necessary to elect a President, 266. In his Presidential campaign Rosenvelt, against tremendous odds, without organization or means or patronage possibilities, carried the States represented by the electoral votes indicated:
"Arizona, 3; California, 13; Idaho, 4; Illinois, 28; Indiana, 15; Kansas, 10; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 18; Minnesota, 12; Missouri, 18; Nebraska, 8; New Jersey, 14; North Carolina, 12; Ohio, 24; Oklahoma, 10; Pennsylvania, 39; Washington, 7; West Virginia, 8. Total, 257.
"North Carolina and Oklahoma are the only States in the list that are not either Republican or close, with a good chance for Republican success. Taking their 22 out of the list, there are still left 253 electoral votes in this group, and only 31 more would be needed to elect.
"Add Wisconsin, 13; Iowa, 13; North Dakota, 5, and there is a total of 31, representing Republican Progressive States certain to be strongly for Roosevelt in such a campaign.
"In all these States that announcement of Roosevelt's candidacy would mean a strong probability that the organizations, generally in the hands of Progressives already, would go over to the Progressive candidates, for electors have in many cases already announced that if Roosevelt ran for President they would support him."
"Turning to those Republican and Independent papers which turn their guns against Mr. Roosevelt and the new party, we find the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Ocean, and (Continues..."
