NASHVILLE GLOBE. COL. ROOSEVELT STATES HIS POSITION ON NEGRO Draws Clean Distinction Between The North And South---A New Doctrine Politically. Favors. Equal Opportunity for All Men — Party Cannot Succeed Otherwise—Methods of Old Parties Criticized—One Deceptive Other Drastic—Negro Party Not Wise—White Men to Lead. New York, August 3.—In a letter written to Julian Harris, of Atlanta, editor of Uncle Remus Magazine, Col. Roosevelt expresses his view of the position of the Negro in national politics and the representation of Negro delegates in the convention of the progressive party in Chicago. THE TENNESSEE COLORED STATE POULTRY ASSOCIATION HOLDS AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. The leaders in the Tennessee Colored State Poultry Association were very much encouraged at the outcome of their efforts as was manifested by the reports and enthusiasm at the meeting of the Association held at the office of the Nashville Globe Tues. day night. Several new members were elected to membership, and expressed themselves as highly pleased at the plans set forth by the Association already. The plans so far consummated include a Poultry Show in connection with the Colored State Fair in September, the holding of monthly meeting at which there will Col. Roosevelt writes. "In pursuance of our conversation I write you this letter. There is a peculiar fitness in writing it to the son of the man whose work made all Americans his debtors. His life and his work tended to bring his fellow-countrymen, North and South, into closer relations of good will and understanding; and surely it should be needless to say that the author of 'Uncle Remus' and of 'Free Joe and the Rest of the World', felt a deep and most kindly interest in the welfare of the Negro. "Many letters dealing with the subject of which you spoke to me have been sent to me within the last few days. Those written by men living in the North usually ask me to insist that we get from the South colored delegates to the national progressive convention. Those written by citizens of the South ask that I declare that the new party shall be a white man's party. I am unable to agree to either proposal. Individual Worth. "In this country we cannot permanently succeed except upon the basis of treating each man on his worth as a man. We can fulfill our high mission among the nations of the earth, we can do lasting good to ourselves and to all mankind, only if we so act that the humbliest among us, so long as he behaves in straight and decent fashion, has guaranteed to him under the laws his right to life, to liberty, to protection from injustice, his right to enjoy the fruits of his own honest labor, and his right to the pursuit of happiness in his own way, so long as he does not trespass on the rights of others. For us to oppress any class of our fellow-citizens is not only wrong to others but hurtful to ourselves. Surely no man can quarrel with those principles. I believe that the progressive movement should be made, from the beginning, one in the interest of every honest, industrious, law-abiding colored man, just as it is in the interest of every honest, industrious law-abiding white man. I further believe that the surest way to render the movement impotent to help either the white man or the colored man, in those regions of the South where the colored man is most numerous, would be to try to repeat the course that has been followed by the Republican party in those districts for so many years, or to endeavor in the states in question to build up a progressive party by the same methods which in those states have resulted in making the Republican party worse than impotent. Machine Method. "In the South the Democratic machine has sought to keep itself paramount, by encouraging the hatred of the white man for the black; the Republican machine has sought to perpetuate itself by stirring up the black man against the white, and surely the time has come when we should understand the mischief in both courses, and should abandon both. I believe that wherever the racial issue is permitted to become dominant in our politics, it always works harm to both races, but immeasurably most harm to the weaker race. I believe that in this movement only damage will come if we either abandon our ideals on the one hand, or, on the other, fall resolutely to look facts in the face, however unpleasant these facts may be. "In many of the states of the Union where there is a considerable colored population we are able in very fact and at the present moment to bring the best colored men into the movement on the same terms as the white man. In Rhode Island and Maryland, in New York and Indiana, in Ohio and Illinois, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to speak only of states of which I have personal knowledge, this is now being done, and from some or all of these states, colored delegates will be sent to the National Progressive Convention in Chicago. Colored Delegates. "In the Republican National Conventions the colored members have been almost exclusively from the South, and the great majority of them have been of such character that their (Continued on Page 4) THE TENNESSEE COLORED STATE POULTRY ASSOCIATION HOLDS AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. The leaders in the Tennessee Colored State Poultry Association were very much encouraged at the outcome of their efforts as was manifested by the reports and enthusiasm at the meeting of the Association held at the office of the Nashville Globe Tuesday night. Several new members were elected to membership, and expressed themselves as highly pleased at the plans set forth by the Association already. The plans so far consummated include a Poultry Show in connection with the Colored State Fair in September, the holding of monthly meeting at which there will be discussions by poultry experts on the co-operation ogshdra hrhretae poultry culture, etc., and securing try associations in the country in interesting the colored people in general and the farmers in particular in the breeding of poultry. President Landers and Secretary Plus are full of enthusiasm as to the prospects for a highly succesful poultry show. The presence of Attorney B. F. Booth, of Memphis, Vice-President of the Association for West Tennessee, added much to the interest of the meeting. Mr. Booth is one of the most extensive breeders in the State, having a splendid yard of fancy show stock at his home place in Memphis and a 30-acre poultry farm about nine miles from the city. While his main show stock is composed of Rhode Island Reds, he keeps several breeds on the farm, which is evidence of the fact that he is interested from both the fancy and utility point of view. Mr. Booth made a very helpful address to the Association in which he pointed the pleasure and profit to be derived from the poultry industry. A report that brought joy to the Association was that of the committee that had been appointed to confer with Mr. Murkens, Superintendent of the Poultry Department of the Tennessee State Fair and Manager of the Chicago and Indianapolis Poultry shows, and who was instrumental in bringing the great American Poultry Association on for its annual meeting next week. This report assured the members that they would have the heartiest co-operation of Mr. Murkens in the management of their first effort to conduct a poultry show. Another encouraging feature of the meeting was the report from Manager Preston Taylor, of the Colored State Fair, promising the fullest co-operation. After hearing these splendid reports the Association decided to try for a larger show than was first contemplated. Every effort will be made to show at least 200 birds. Among those who will exhibit stock are the following: B. F. Booth, Rhode Island Reds; L. Landers, Rhode Island Reds; M. T. Lyda, Minorcaes, Reds and Ducks; S. P. Harris, White Rocks; J. P. Crawford, Rhode Island Reds; H. N. Plus S. C. White Orpingtons; H. A. Cameron, Pigeons; Geo. Shepherd Moore Barred Rocks; J. Frank Battle, S. C. White Leghorns; Louis K. Thomas S. C. Rhode Island Reds. The Association will soon have out Entry Blanks and will be pleased to furnish copies of the same to any one interested and who will wish to exhibit any kind of poultry. Application for information and Entry Blanks may be addressed to Rev. N. H. Plus, Secretary, 1817 Scovel street, Nashville, Tann. Miss Hattie Taylor, of 449 Fourth avenue, North, is at home again at ter spending more than a week in Wilson's Infirmary. She is able to be at her desk at Taylor and Co. R. H.

SARAH H. SHEPPARD IS NO MORE. One of Nashville's Most Highly Respected Citizens Dies at Ripe Old Age—Funeral from Residence —The Little Children Loved Her Dearly. One of the oldest citizens of Nashville in the person of Mrs. Sheppard, the mother of Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, died this week. She had been a sufferer for a number of years, but was never regarded as dangerously ill, as she was able to be about the home. On Monday she became critically ill and died at noon. At the bedside were her daughter, grandchildren and other members of the family. Mrs. Sheppard, during her life, saw much development, especially of the institution that her daughter is so closely connected with. The deceased furnished a member of the original Jubilee Singers, so famous throughout the world. The funeral services were held Wednesday morning at the family residence on Seventh Avenue, North. The funeral was largely attended. The floral offerings were beautiful. There was a large group of the little girls of the community present whom Mrs. Sheppard called her grandchildren, who acted as flower bearers. The Fisk Quartette, led by Prof. J. W. Work, furnished the music. "Lead, Kindly Light," was the opening hymn, which was followed by Scripture reading by Rev. G. W. Hemphill, who also offered prayer. "In bright mantons above," "Swing low, sweet charlot," "Steal away to Jesus," and "Walk through the valley," were sung by the Quartette. Rev. G. Lake Imes, of Tuskegee, read the obituary and made a few remarks. Rev. W. S. Ellington gave the funeral address in most fitting terms. Prof. W. A. Caldwell and his wife, Mrs. Rosa Sheppard Caldwell, of Mobile, and their two daughters were present at the funeral. Program "Lead, Kindly Light," by Fisk Quar tedte, led by Prof. Work.

Sheppard, widow of the late Simon Sheppard and beloved mother of Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore and Mrs. Rosa Sheppard Caldwell, was born in the year 1827 near Nashville,, and died at Nashville, Tenn., August 5th, 1912, at the ripe age of 85. She went to Mississippi just before the Civil War, and resided at Okalona until she came to live with her daughter in Nashville in 1877. In 1883 she went with her son and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. Moore, to Washington, D. C., and was there for ten years, when she returned with them to Nashville, where she spent the last twenty years of her life. Although she had not enjoyed any literary training, yet she was a woman of rare intelligence. She was converted May 31, 1870, and united with the Baptist church of Okalona, June 5, and when she came to Nashville she united with the Spruce Street Baptist Church. When she went to Washington to live with her children she united with the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, and on her return to Nashville she joined the Union Congregational Church. She was an earnest and devoted Christian and lived a life of faith and prayer. She seemed to be conscious shortly before her death and joined with a circle of friends about her bedside as they sang, "Swing low, sweet chariot." She had a wide ciple of friends, especially among the teachers and students of Fisk University, whom she met during the last twenty years. She was "Grandma Sheppard" to everybody. In addition to her own grandchildren and great-grandchildren, there was a circle of a score or more of little girls and, boys whom she regarded in a special sense as her grandchildren. She loved them and they were devoted to her and it was the joy of her life to have them gathered about her. Thus has passed from earth a noble Christian spirit. Mother Sheppard is at home at last in the bright mansions above, where she longed to go to join with the spirits of the just made perfect in the eternal adoration of the living God. Mrs. W. B. Ward has returned to Columbia after an extended trip to Chattanooga. While there she was the guest of Mrs. George E. Clark. THIRD PARTY IN TENNESSEE STATE CONVENTION HELD LAST SATURDAY. Saturday morning, August 3, at 10 o'clock the State Progressive Convention convened; established a permanent organization; constructed a plank full of progressive ideas, and selected delegates to the National Progressive Convention held at Chicago this week. Negroes from all parts of the State were assembled as delegates to this State Convention, and were duly admitted to the floor of the Convention. The meeting was called to order by a temporary chairman, who, after making a lengthy speech, denouncing Governor Hooper and the present State administration, branding it as the "boss-ridden instrument of Newell Sanders and others;" endorsing the launching of a full State Progressive ticket, and declaring Theodore Roosevelt to be the "greatest constructive statesman and diplomat in the world," appointed a Committee on Platform, and one on delegation. One of the striking features of this move, and one which gave the Negroes considerable anxiety as to just recognition, was, out of the thirty-five or forty Negro delegates present not one was appointed to serve on either of these committees, as a result of which Capt. R. D. Brown, of Memphis, arose and gave vent to his feelings of dissatisfaction of lack of recognition, proclaiming that his power and influence over the entire West Tennessee voters would be greatly felt in the event such non recognition was countenanced. However, after the committees retired for deliberation, the Chairman declared the Convention in recess for fifteen minutes, during which period he was seen to approach Capt. Brown and chide him for his hasty action, and told him not to "make an ass of himself on the floor of the Convention," at the same time telling the other Negro delegates that they would receive due recognition. The Negroes, being yet dissatisfied, held a caucus in one of the outer rooms and decided to stand pat and demand just recognition. The convention was again called to order, after which the aforesaid committees were asked to report. Two Negroes were among the delegates selected to go to Chicago. The chairman also stated that if there were any overlooked their names could be handed to the committee and placed upon the roll of delegates from the state at large. The Platform Committee, when reported, submitting to the Convention a platform entirely in conformity with the progressive ideas of Mr. Roosevelt. One of the many progressive principles endorsed which especially appealed to the Negro was the denouncing of lynching and lawlessness in every form, whether it involved black or white. The Convention then nominated Mr. Poston, of Alamo, for Governor on the Progressive ticket, which brought about a split which resulted in the departure from the Convention of about twenty or twenty-five delegates declaring themselves to be for Hooper. GOING TO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Plans are now under way to have a special car go from Nashville to Chicago to the Business League, which convenes there on August 21-23.

Fort, who came on an annual visit to the lodges and to add his personal influence to the campaign for ten thousand Odd Fellows in Tennessee. Enthusiasm was the keynote of the evening, giving a touch of rapt interest in every move from the fervent prayer of pastor C. A. Bell, the earnest welcome extended in behalf of the Ruthites by Mrs. L. F. K. Jackson, the sweet singing of the choir, the eloquent welcome of Prof. E. H. Gilliam to the final appeal of the guest of the evening Many reasons were pressed home in support of the contention that Odd Fellowship must rise to the demand of the hour and take place—her rightful place—among the fraternal lights of the present and be prepared to walk with the strongest in the future.

For, at 2 o'clock Greenwood Park was alive with Sir Knights and members of the Grand Lodge and friends of the Masonic fraternity. The Sir Knights pitched camp at 9 a. m. and at once began to make preparations for the sermon.

Monday morning at 9 a. m. the Grand Parade was formed at the Odd Fellows' hall on Fourth avenue, North. It presented a grand spectacle, and stretched the length of several squares.

Quite a number of cases of typhoid fever have been reported recently by the physicians, and both Dr. Lewis and Gantt are kept busy. Mr. Wash McKiman has been reported sick again. The 13th will be a Red Letter day here for the Odd Fellows and their friends. Rev. J. M. Gentry held a successful Sunday-school and Bible institute at the Oakgrove Baptist Church, eleven miles out from Pulaski, which of which, A. J. Gilbert is the efficient pastor. The attendance was very good and every one expressed themselves saying the institute was much benefit to them, and bid him come and hold another. There are about eight or ten families of Nashville owning about one thousand acres of land in one body. Fine crops and fine orchards and a full crop of fruit. A one-legged man there has bought and paid for 170 acres of land and raised ten children and is still looming well. CENTERVILLE NOTES Rev. Rush Williams, of Wards preached at Mt. Zion A. M. E.

WAVERLY NOTES Never before have our people enjoyed themselves as they did a few days ago at Denver. Rev. M. K. Britt, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, and Brother J. H. Walker, superintendent of the Sunday-school, planned a church and Sunday-school picnic. After canvassing the city they readily saw it necessary to order a special train to carry the crowd. The train stopped one mile below Denver, near the picnic ground. After we had enjoyed a pleasant time there some one suggested that we walk two miles to another ground. All were willing. The tramp began; over hills, down into valleys, across streams, both old and young folks. Just to see what the country looked like. City and country folks in parade a mile long. When all had gotten to the new ground every body was ready to eat. Then a dinner fit for a king was spread for all. Immediately after dinner Waverly and Denver teams played an exciting game of ball which resulted in Waverly's favor, as they beat all teams. Miss Marie Williams, of Nashville, and Miss Linella Long, of Martin, were among the happy crowd. Tuesday, July 23rd, the Odd Fellows gave quite an attractive outdoor entertainment in honor of Prof. W. H. Fort, of Nashville. Prof. Fort lectured to a very appreciative audience. Electric lights of many colors were very attractive. Swinging, sea-sawing and the old-time country flying-Flyenny were enjoyed. Miss Effie Russell entertained quite a number of friends Sunday evening. Among them were Miss Marie Williams, of Nashville, and Miss Clara, Ethel and Mildred Brow, of Jackson. Mrs. Lucy P, Porter, of Dickson, visited relatives here this week. A NASHVILLE GLOBE.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1912. Be Not Alarmed. Throughout the length and breadth of this country the newspapers are devoting an unusual amount of space to the doings of the Progressive Party which is holding its first National Convention in Chicago this week. In the South every daily that has the facilities to handle any news is laboring overtime to convince the Negroes that the leaders in the Roosevelt Party are their arch enemies. They charge openly and persistently that it is a "Lilly White" party. It is not pleasant to think of Negroes being told that they cannot come in on the ground floor of the new organization; and that is just what Mr. Roosevelt has boldly said concerning the Negroes of the South. It is a matter that has stunned the most of us. For we did not expect that such a decree would be sent out by the chief of the new Progressive Party. But in connection with this stand, Mr. Roosevelt has made it clear that his party will recognize more fully than any of the other National parties those Negroes who live north of the Mason and Dixon line and in the border states. On another page in this issue we give the letter of Mr. Roosevelt to a Mr. Harris in Georgia. We ask that every Negro read this letter carefully, and that it be given sober consideration. The question for Negroes to decide is whether or not it will be wise to accept this new party's offer, or to remain with the old Republican party, or to cast their lot with the Democratic party. The situation is one that must be studied carefully. The newspapers in the different sections put their own constructions on the utterances of Mr. Roosevelt, and they are adopting the same tactics in regard to the Convention in Chicago this week, so far as the Negro is concerned, as they do in all cases when there is an attempt to discredit the black man. In Florida, Georgia and Mississippi the Negro delegates have been refused seats in the Convention. In Florida the whole state was thrown out; but these are not the only states in the South that have delegates in the Convention, and so the reports in the newspapers are not clear. The full reasons why these delegates have been thrown out are not stated, but just so much is given as will discourage and embarrass the Negro voters. The wise course for Negroes to pursue will be to act slowly. Theodore Roosevelt is a great leader. His resourcefulness seems boundless, and if the black men will only be patient and prudent they will win out in the end. The A. M. E. Review. The July number of the A. M. E. Review is acknowledged. This is the first number issued since the adjournment of the General Conference. It was issued from the Publishing House of the Church in Philadelphia. The General Conference voted that this magazine should be published by the A. M. E. Sunday-school Union in this city, but the editor, Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, is an Eastern man, and so far as the current issue is concerned, he has delegated to himself the power to publish the magazine where it suits his convenience best. He is doing this regardless of the fact that he was elected on the pledge that he would continue the publication of the magazine in Nashville, where it has been so acceptably done the last four years. The current issue does not compare favorably with those that have been printed by the Sunday-School Department of the A. M. E. Church in Nashville, and just why the editor of the Review should desire to retrograde his publication we are at a loss to know. It is a fact that no one will question that the publishing house operated in Nashville by the A. M. E. Church is away ahead of the one in Philadelphia in point of equipment and skilled workmen. And it does seem that the leading men of that Church would have a desire first of all to put their publications on the market in as good condition as possible. The Sunday-School Union, under the skillful management of Mr. Ira T. Bryant, is giving to the A. M. E. Church first-class printing. The type is clear and the printing neat and clean. The binding is also done in first-class workmanlike manner. The facilities for doing first-class work are of the most modern kind. The Philadelphia House does not seem to have a like equipment, and these facts, coupled with the vote of the General Conference, seem to entitle the Nashville House to the Publication. The Globe is not meddling with the affairs of the A. M. E. Church, but as a Nashville paper, we are contending for what belongs to this city. As to the course pursued by the editor, Dr. Ransom, we feel certain that the African Methodist of the South will look after him in 1916, if not before. The forming of a Poultry Association in Tennessee is an advanced step among Negroes. Years ago anybody could raise chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks, etc., but in this age of advanced thought it requires special training and adaptability to successfully produce a crop of chickens or any kind of poultry. Colored people have been backward in taking hold of poultry-raising along advanced lines, but the organization of an association is evidence that there will be an awakening in the near future, and that the day is not far distant when some of the finest poultry farms in the Southland will be owned and operated by Negroes. "Sparks," a monthly magazine published in Birmingham, Ala., contains matter in the August number that puts it in a class with patent newspapers. If "Sparks" is to hold the high eminence it is entitled to, such matter must be left out. We welcome to our midst this week the Masonic brethren of the state. We would be glad if your stay could be extended, but since it cannot, we throw open our homes to you and bid you thrice welcome. GRAND MASTER FORT IN KNOXVILLE. Knoxville, Term., July 3.—To the martial strains of music by the Knoxville brass band the valiant host of Odd Fellows marched to Mt. Zion Baptist Church to greet the Grand Master of Tennessee, who is making a tour of the state in the interest of his campaign for Ten Thousand Odd Fellows in Tennessee. After the usual devotions conducted by Master of Ceremonies Mitchell, assisted by Dr. Moses, pastor of Mt. Zion Church, Grand Master Fort spoke earnestly on Growth, impressing all with the fact that it is natural to expect Odd Fellows to grow, and that for business and financial reasons they cannot afford to take a rear seat in the onward march. Following the address a two-course banquet was served to all present, thus ending a night of enthusiasm and one that will prove to be of much good to the cause of Odd Fellowship in Tennessee. WHITE CITY—6 BIG NIGHTS On Mr. Jones' spacious Lawn, on Fourth avenue, between Peabody and Highland streets, given by St Paul A. M. E. Church, from Monday night, August 12th, to Saturday night, August 17th. The Lawn will be gorgeously decorated and brilliantly lighted. There will be many beautiful booths.

EDITOR OF "HOPE" ON VACA TION The editor of "Hope," one of the largest circulated home magazines published in the interest of the race, in the person of Miss Lorilla E. Bushnell, left Nashville Tuesday on her first vacation. She will spend her time in Denver, going by way of the West, traversing in her route the largest portion of North Texas, reaching Denver over the Ft. Worth and the Rio Grande Railroad. Upon her return, Miss Bushnell will visit the National Baptist Convention that is to be in session in Houston, Texas, during the month of September. "I am going off to take a much needed rest. I do not think that I will do much writing, however, if I feel like writing, I shall be only too glad to furnish an occasional letter, if it will be of interest to the readers," was the remark made by Miss Bushnell, just before leaving while in conversation with a Globe representative. It will be remembered that Miss Bushnell is at the Fireside School, having taken the place of Miss Joanna P. Moore, in conducting the school and in looking after the editorial department of Hope.

Pleasant, Tenn., died Monday, July 29th. The remains were taken to her old home, Nesbitt, Tenn., for interment. The funeral was very sad and impressive. The arrangements of the funeral were in charge of Taylor and Company. A white velvet casket couch gave the deceased a life-like appearance. EAST NASHVILLE RALLY. Last Sunday was the day of the rally of the First Baptist Church of East Nashville. Rev. J. Davenport Bushell, the pastor, had been sick for a week previous, but the members and friends showed a deal of interest in the meeting. Quite a sum of cash with a number of pledges was reported as the result of the campaign. It Kuhn-Coper-Geary Co. NASHVILLE, TENN. Kuhn-Cooper-Geary COMPANY. NASHVILLE.

Williams in consultation at the bedside of Mrs. Kenney. Mrs. Kenney is the wife of Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician at Tuskegee Institute. Drs. Williams and Stewart performed a very delicate operation on Mrs. Kenney last Thursday. The patient's condition is reported quite satisfactory at this writing. COL. ROOSEVELT STATES HIS POSITION ON NEGRO. (Continued from Page 1) political activities were merely a source of harm, and of very grave harm, to their own race. We, on the contrary, are hoping to see in the National Progressive Convention colored delegates from the very places where we expect to develop our greatest strength, and we hope to see these men of such character that their activities shall be of benefit not only to the people at large, but especially to their own race. "For forty-five years the Republican party has striven to build up in the Southern States in question a party based on the theory that the pyramid will, unsupported, stand permanently on its axe instead of on its base. For forty-five years the Republican party has endeavored in these states to build up a party in which the Negro should be dominant, a party consisting almost exclusively of Negroes. Those who took the lead in this experiment were actuated by high motives, and no one should now blame them because of what, with the knowledge they then had and under the then existing circumstances, they strove to do. But in actual practice the result has been lamentable from every standpoint. It has been productive of evil to the colored men themselves; it has been productive only of evil to the white men of the South; and it has worked the gravest injury to, and finally the disruption and destruction of, the great Republican party itself. Corruptibility. "There has in the past been venality in Republican national conventions in which there was an active contest for the nomination for President for the most part among the Negro delegates from these Southern States. Finally, in the convention at Chicago last June the break-up of the Republican party was forced by those South. In the primary states of the North the colored men in most places voted substantially as their white neighbors voted. But in the Southern States, where there was no real Republican party, and where colored men, or whites, selected purely by colored men, were sent to the convention representing nothing but their own greed for money, the majority was overwhelmingly anti-progressive. Seven-eighths of the of the men from the rottenborough districts upheld by their votes the fraudulent actions of the men who in that convention defied and betrayed the will of the mass of the plain people of the party. "It would be not merely foolish, but criminal to disregard the teachings of such a lesson. The disruption and destruction of the Republican party, and that fact that it has been rendered absolutely impotent as an instrument for anything but mischief in the country at large, has been brought about in large part by the effort to pretend that in the Southern States a sham is a fact, by the insistence upon treating the ghost party in the Southern States as a real party, by refusing to face the truth, which is that under existing conditions there is not and cannot be in the Southern States a party based primarily upon the Negro vote and under Negro leadership or the leadership of white men who derive their power solely from Negroes. With these forty-five years of failure of this policy in the South before our eyes, and with catastrophe thereby caused to a great national party not yet six weeks distant from us, it would be criminal for the progressives to repeat the course of action responsible for such disaster, such failure, such catastrophe. Appeal to Negroes. "It would be much worse than use- less to try to build up the progressive party in these Southern States where there is no real Republican party, by appealing to the Negroes, or to the men who in the past have derived the sole standing from leading and manipulating the Negroes. "I earnestly believe that by appealing to the best white men in the South, the men of justice and of vision, as well as of strength and leadership, and by frankly putting the movement in their hands from the outset, we shall create a situation by which the colored men of the South will ultimately get justice as it is not possible for them to get justice if we are to continue and perpetuate the present conditions. The men to whom we appeal are the men who have stood for securing the colored man in his rights before the law, and they can do for him what neither the Northern white man nor the colored men themselves can do. Our only wise course from the standpoint of the colored man himself is to follow the course that we are following toward him in the North, and to follow the course we are following toward him in the South."

It 1s also to be remembered that Thad just come to Nashville, bringing with me my aged mother and less than money enough to carry us through three or at least four months. ‘You readily gave me the opportuni- ty to solfeit subscriptions, and it was by this favor, as I have said. that I was able to remain in college. There were many times when my school wor would not permit me to do as mueh for the Globe as I desired, and |you exercised the greatest patience |with me, which in many cases meant | great loss to you. I felt ft very keen- ly, and still it was the best, under the circumstances, that I could do. T am not only to be thankful to you for the opportunity afforded me through your kindness to make a sup- port, but what I consider as impor- tant, it gave me an opportunity for a very large acquaintance from which T have gained a host of friends, and I am obligated to you for this ‘also, for otherwise 1 would never have known the thousands of person whom T now know in your city, and could not have had the many to consider as my friends, It shall be my endeavor to “make 000," and whatever shall come to me in the way of success, I shall con- tribute a large share to your very ex- cellent favor.

THE BROWN BOTTLE protects @QC ALU LZ, er From the Brewery to Your Glass Schlitz is brewed ie the dark, stored for months in glass lined steel enamel tanks, bottled in darkened rooms where even the shades are drawn to exclude the light, then sent to you in brown bottles, Without all these precautions no beer can be healthful, and who knowingly drunk beer that was not, Light starts decay even in pure beer, Dark glass gives protection against light. We have adopted every idea, every invention that could aid to this end. To-day, more than half the cost of brewing is spent to make and keep SCHLITZ beer pure. If you knew what we know about beer you would ask for Schlitz—Schlitz in brown bottles. The Beer that Made Milwaukee Famous The Call for the Skil- ful Negro. of our farm?” “We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our cvity schoo” “We need skill ed mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting and blacksmithing.” “Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town.” ‘These are some of the many calls that assail the principal of Tuskegee Institute at all seasons of the year, It {a reasonably so. The change of thé trend of education among both black and white; the inerease ot wealth and courage to venture into business among Negroes; the higher ‘and higher esteem into which skill ed Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more gen- eral. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty odd of these industries are taught. ‘There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies’ tailoring, _upholstering and mattress-making, domestic science, laundering and gymnastics for girls; there are shoe making, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinet ‘making, tinsmithing, printing, har- ness making, mechanical and archl- tectural drawing, mechanical, electri- cal and steam engineering for boys; and there are dairying, swine rats- ing, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, veterinary. selence, frutt Rrowing and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agri- cultural, for both boys and girls. Let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades, This again is the modern trend of things. More than this ex. perience and experiments at Tuske- gee Institute are demonstrating that the young woman is just as apt and able ‘a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of teeds in the pou'try yard, with pack- ‘ing and handling fruits in the or- chard as she is. with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as guick and aggressive as ts her young ‘man classmate, to whom time and ‘prejudice have hitherto restricted ‘these trades. But more of the specific trades: la- ‘ter, ‘The call for the skilled Negro “workman today bears with it compre- ‘hensve assumption. Tt asks for men ‘end women skilled in one or more branches of handwork; but tt also ‘has a flavor of something else. Has he religion? Has he character? Has he good habits? Is he punctual? Has he culture? Can he make a speech? an he command respect? Will he stand for anything in the communt- ty? Does he know how to get along with people? ‘These are some of the requirements that the trades teachers of today must face in addition to special training in a given industry. |As a mere workman he might pass muster without these; but as a teach: er and leader, he must have these, together with excellence in scholar- ship. And strange enough it is that these very essential requirements are not loffered in the curriculum of any [school. Tt is hardly advisable that [they should be. The student should lget them as he goes. They should (be a vart of his daily Ife, just like eating his meals and drinking water, 'No institution offers water drinking as one of its courses in a school curriculum, no more should It offer a course in prayer or in character; but both the prayer and the charac. ter should be just as common and just ag refreshing as 1s the water, Now this the Tuskegee Institute, without listing It in its catalogue, undertakes to give—this thine one calls training, Let us begin with Sunday morning to see what general training a stu dent gets during the week in addi- tion fo his special studies in his Vooks and trade, At a certain hour in the morning the bell rings for him to. rise, ten minutes later, the same bell ‘calls him to breakfast Five minutes later he must he In the dininghall, He asks his blessing in a short song with from 1,200 to 1,500 of his followers, starts his meal’ on time and finishes on time. He must have come to the dining-room prop- erly dressed, haying given attention to his clothes in general, his hair and his teeth—tooth brushes are re- quired. He must have furnished him: |self with a napkin which he must |use, and use correctly at the table. |He must know how or soon learn |how to handle his food at the table, how to take food on his plate, how to cut tt up and how to convey it to his mouth, From the dining-hall he returns to his room. This room he must clean, spotlessly, for at another 'stand a scrutinizing inspection from a corps of teachers and workers sent around for that purpose. There must be no dust in the room, no waste paper or soiled clothing must be found lying around, And above all, his own clothing must be not fine and expensive, but free from grease ‘spots. and with buttons on where ‘they ought to be. ‘Then there is the ‘call to prayer-meeting, the march tc ‘church to listen to a sermon and to a rare choir and orchestra, thence to Sunday-school, thence to dinner and then a quiet Sabbath rest for a while Once more the bell calls. There is three o'clock prayer-meeting. A band concert, given by a band that has €licited applause well nigh the coun- try over, lasts until supper, | In the evening comes the real ‘treat, There is the brilliant and in ‘vigorating chapel talk by Booker’. ‘Washington, and there {s the ad: dress by some distinguished person lot whom the student has heard much, ‘tut whom he had never dreamed of seeing. His day thus closes, having cen filled with inspiration which no class-room could give, Above all, un- awares, he has been receiving Just the sort of training which the pres ent day is demanding, He has had his lesson in punctuality, in decency of appearance, in table manners, in keeping clean’ surroungings, in plac: ing a value upon time, even upon the day of rest. And finally he has not only been temporarily inspired, but has had drited into him the reli- rious habit, the habit of church-go- ing, of prayer service and worship ou ‘the Sabbath day. Multiply. this day by several hundred days and you get culture, religion, character, in a word, you get a man; not perfect of course, but tending towards the tandard the world is now daily erect- {ng for the educated Negro. Learning to handle a napkin, to dress properly, to clean a room, ‘are in themselves ‘culture and education, Int they do not comprehend all that the man in the world has to know. What are these activities of the stu- dent himself? Where does the stu- dent with special ability find an out- let? Suppose we can sing, speak, ‘draw, play on a piano, play on a stringed Instrument. Suppose he ts an athlete, plays foot ball baseball ind the like, must all this talent be impressed into a trade and into the routine of regular duties? Not so. Not only is the student encouraged in the direction in which he has gifts, but in many instances he receives ‘psy for so using his talent, Many penniless boys and girls have earned . large part of their board, pald for Jearning their trades and gotten thelr academic training through ta. lent of this kind. For the student ‘who can speak, declaim, write es. /says, debate, or who wishes to ac- j quire skill in any of these directions jthere are oven to him ten different |literary socleties, ‘These societies istress different points In general Itt erary culture so that one may elect to enter the one which stands for the |sort of thing he can do or wishes to (do. If, for example, a student is in- iterested in agriculture, there is. the Natural History Debating Club, which, while in debate like other literary societies, places stress on agricultural discussions. There {a \the Careful Builders’ Club for the younger boys who are just starting, which strésses good manly conduct: |Liderty Debating Club, emphasizing pure debate, On the girls’ side there are the Phillis Wheatley, the Some Club, the Little Woman and the Temperance Society, some laying stress on reading, others on discus jon and others on general social im provements, A merry time It is when these clmbs clash in debate; when Liberts debates Natural History, and. the Actne girls, who furnish the enter tainment, sit back and applaud; o when the small boys, Careful Build evs, with Little Women as theft sympathizers, cross swords in argu nent with | the Stokes Minister Union, a sort of grown men’s club— being ‘the elub to which the Bibl workers in Phelps Hall belong. Andrew Carnegie classed the music of Tuskegee Institute cholr as the most beautiful in the world, This music is furnished by those students who have talent to sing. They are taught music, trained to sing and then paid so much per month to do this singing. So it is again with the Institute band and the Institute or chestra, Boys with but a faint iden of music but anxious to learn to |play on some instrument are furnish. jea the instrument, given instruction 5 and then employed to play in the band or orchestra, For the last two years the band has made a tour of ‘most of the large cities of the South and elicited praise from both white and colored people. It played before a mixed audience in the Auditorium. Armory in Atlanta, Ga, and the Ate lanta Constitution ‘classed its rendl- tion of “William Tell” above the rendition of the same selection by Creatore’s band. It played in Monte gomery, Birmingham, Mobile, Nashe ville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis ao Dayton, and was cheered, ‘ond invited and besought to return, These were poor Negro boys playing here, who had entered Tuskegee Ine stitute, many being unable to make a class on the one hand or to pay thelr board on the other. Just as he asserts his talent and individuality through the musical instrument, the football player ag serts his talent on the gridiron. True he gets strength and M@durance from his trade work, but the alertness which ought always to go with bodily strength, he gains under the foot- ball coach on the field. He, too, takes his trips, meets men and women of other schools and so gets his culture, lke the band boy, from, direct contact with life as it is. 4, The numerous gatherings held at ‘the Institute throughout the year of fer this same advantage to the great ‘mass of students who either have n0 ‘Yery likely talent or no time to train, During last year these students met ‘snd heard speak representatives from almost every nation on the globe. There was the African Race Con: gress, which brought representatives from England, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, ‘the West Indies, as well 2s from various parts of the United States and Africa. There is the usual mid-winter trustees’ meeting, headed by Scth Lowe, of New York, which brings a special car or two of the best Americans from every sec: tlon of the country. Special cars of teachers and educators from different ‘ties of the North and West, Con- ferences for school workers among Negro people in the South—all these serve to keep the student alive and in intimate touch with the progress of the world. ‘This contact alone, were there no trades, no books, no instructors, would be an enviable ed- ueation in itself, an education which would fit the student in just the way the new demands of the day are de crecing that he shall be fitted, Near the opening of the school, on Thanksgiving night, as well as on several other occasions through the Year, the student has his own social, He mects with a thousand or more cf his schoolmates, thus acquiring tact, that ability to get along whlch is asked of every man who seeks a Fosition of any kind whatsoever, ‘This is the student life. How las he gotten his trade? How has he chosen it? How will he fit himself in it? Even with his culture the trade alone will not do. If he is a wheelwrieht he cannot simply make wheels, If he is a blacksmith he can not simply do blacksmithing, If so he could have followed the old ap- prenticeship style of his fathers, With his culture and with his skill sa tradesman must go a knowledge of the selence of the industry, He must know how to raise turnips, for example, but he must also know the chemistry of soils and the food value of the ‘product. This requirement has sent college graduates, holders of academic’ certificates and of trades certificates to Tuskegee to study as post graduates aT SILVER SPRINGS MONDAY, AUG.

Fully 2,500 people left the city to seek a cool breeze at cel: ebrated Greenwood Park. ‘This noted pleasure resort is fast becoming the idol of Nashville's Negro population. ‘The extension of the car line was the one thing needed. Sunday the cars were run in sections of three and each one carried a throng of men, women and children, who were anx. lous to find a cool breeze, They came not only on the many cars, but some walked, some came in automobiles, some in buggies, traps, wagons, in fact, in everything but airships,’ At 8 o'clock the place ‘was one im: mense ody of-amankind. The bri Jiant lights, the merry throngs of Jolly boys wad girls, the happy chil- Gren, light-hearted parents, with thelr Joyous children, drank to the full of all the coolness Greenwood had to of. fer, for Sunday was a record-breaker for heat.’ Until very late in the even: ing mirth and happy repartee reigned supreme, as each one €ajoyed either ‘a stroll through the grounds or one of ‘the many amusements of the park, Hadley Park, too, came in for its [share of breeze-seekers, This beau: ‘tiful place, which is covered with abundant shade trees, shrubbery and a carpet of nature’s Dest, held its ‘quota of men, women and. children, This park, which is situated in.

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION HOLDS SUCCESSFUL MEETING Chattanooga, Tenn., July 28, 1912.—With a big mass-meeting at the City Auditorium, where many of the leaders in Negro education throughout the country delivered addresses, the National Educational Association brought its ninth annual session to close Sunday, July 28th. Delegates from twenty states, representing every phase of Negro education, were present and left much zest to the gatherings with the story of new and helpful methods tried in the various states and communities. Vital Problems. One vital problem throughout the convention was that of bringing the school down to the life of the masses of the people. The superintendent of the city schools of Chattanooga pointed out that more than two-thirds of the pupils left school before they reached the eighth grade. They had no trade, no particular instruction as to economy, sanitation and the common every day problems of life. "The education of the Negro in the South," said Hardy L. Keith, supervisor of manual training for colored schools of Nashville, should be from the point of view of the tax payer. Here in the South there should be a half day of work and a half day of study. It would be easy for this change to be made, considering the uselessness of a great part of the matter now taught in our public schools." Another very vital problem was that advanced by President Johnson, of Petersburg, Va. It was difficult, he said, to expect a teacher on a small salary to go to summer school, to take vacation or improve himself. At the very time the teacher needs money it is not coming in. This problem has been successfully handled by Chattanooga and a few other parties, which pay the teachers either part or whole salary during the month they are away attending summer schools. President's Annual Address. One of the main features in the discussion of school problems was President W. T. B. Williams' annual address. The President's subject was "What the Negro Should Do for His Own Education." "Our first duty," said President Williams, "and greatest opportunity lie in the field of public education. Our first fight must be effect for primary and grammar schools within the reach of every colored child in this country. "Virginia," he said, "furnishes an example of constructive effort on the part of the colored people to improve the public elementary schools for their race. The following report covering the year 1911-12 is given out by the Department of Education for the State: Jeanes supervisors were employed in 18 counties there were 469 colored schools; 299 of these schools were visited by the Jeanes supervisors; 121 of the 299 schools visited lengthened their terms, from 1 to 2 month; the aver age term was 6 months; 9 new school houses were built costing $250,000, not including labor given by the colored patron; 12 buildings were enlarged; 69 buildings were whitewashed; 37 sanitary outhouses were built; 348 school leagues were used; 102 schools adopted the use of individual drinking cups; and the colored people gave toward all these purposes over and above their labor $13,744.16. For the other 82 counties of the state we have no official record. But in most of these counties something of the same sort of work was done, and what is being done in counties in Virginia is similar to the work of colored people in behalf of public education in certain counties of practically every Southern state. In Barbour county, Alabama, for instance, the Jeanes supervisor, Miss Ada V. Cophas, led the colored people to raise for school improvement this year $1,000; in Bullock county of the same state, Mrs. Ella B. McNeal raised for similar purposes during the last three years $3,000; in Housen county, Ga., Miss Ardennah L. Marcuus, Jeanes supervisor, reported $225 raised this year; and Henry B. Nicholson, Jeanes supervisor for Eaglefield county, South Carolina, reported $1,800 raised this year for school improvements. These are but sample reports of which you will hear much more during this meeting. It is easy to see that this work is not confined to any particular State or locality. But in every case the results have come from special effort on the part of some one interested in creating better educational conditions. The remarkable thing about it all is the almost universal response that comes to such undertakings. Colored people and white people too are reached by it. And good work done in one place is almost sure to be the occasion for similar work elsewhere. The effort is contagious. The directors of the Jeanes Fund are besieged with applications for supervisors for counties all over the South. Owing to their limited means, however, they can help in but a comparatively few cases. Such workers, nevertheless, as are employed by the Jeanes Board could readily enough be secured by local organizations anywhere. It is especially gratifying to find that a beginning is being made in that direction. For instance in Virginia the officials of one county were so well pleased with the Jeanes work in a neighboring county that they have adopted it and will pay for its support in full. A second county will pay half the salary of the Jeanes teacher for next year. Why might not any member of this organization go back to the county, raise from $350 to $500 for salary and traveling expenses of a supervisor, and thus set his county on the direct road to constructive improvement along educational lines? Speaking for self-help in the rural schools, Clinton J. Calloway, Director of Extension, Tuskegee Institute, gave an instructive talk on handling people in rural communities. Getting the interest of the County Superintendent, winning the cofidence of the ministers, planting school gardens and school farms were some of the schemes that aided Mr. Calloway in improving the rural schools of Macon county, Alabama, where Tuskegee Institute is located. Interesting pictures, showing the schools, libraries and farms that improved under these methods evoked many eager questions from persons in the audience. Probably the most commanding paper of all those in the daily discussions was that read by Miss E. A. Deace, of Birmingham, Ala. Miss Deace had for her subject "School Hygiene nor Sanitation in a Free and Disinterested Manner." Miss Deace urged that teachers and parents watch the defects of children and be frank and straightforward with the young in all those matters which pertain so vitally to human race. Formal Addresses. Many formal and able addresses were delivered at the evening sessions. Rev. T. O. Fuller, President of Howe Institute, delivered a scholarly address on the "Utility of Education," "Frederick Douglass and the Spirit of Freedom" was the subject of an address by Prof. William Pickens, of Talladega College. "College Education and the Negro" was delivered by Rev. M. W. Gilbert, President of Selma University, Selma, Ala. Many Educational Trips. The hospitality of the Chattanoogans to the visiting teachers was unbounded. Receptions and various attentions were common. But the real feature of entertainment was the trips to the various historic spots about the city. There were trips to the famous Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga Park, the National Cemetery and many other points of interest that more than repaid any visitor to the city of Civil War fame. The following named persons were elected as officers for the coming year: president, W. W. Dogan, Texas; 1st vice president, N. B. Young, of Florida; 2nd vice president, B. F. Bowles, Illinois; 3rd vice president, W. H. Slington, Tennessee; 4th vice president, Miss Ida C. Plummer, Washington, D. C.; 5th vice president, O. L. Coleman, Louisiana; 6th vice president, W. M.

MUSTAINE, City Passenger A MASONIC GRAND LODGE HOLDS GOOD SESSIONS. (Continued from Page 1) seemed well pleased. Over five hundred delegates have been in attendance. The Excelsior Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star convened in the Majestic Theatre Tuesday morning. The meeting was called to order by Royal Grand Patron, J. H. Adams, of Nashville. The Grand Chapter lost no time in getting down to business. The annual address of the Royal Grand Patron was read and received with applause. It was a full review of the work done during the year. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were also well received. The condition of the ladies department has elicited the highest praise on every hand. The sessions were harmonious from beginning to end, and the impartial rulings of the Royal Grand Patron, J. H. Adams, made his re-election assured even before the hour arrived. The Grand Chapter has always been active in the work of improving the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home near the city. The latest work done was the installation of a new water plant at a considerable cost. It is now planned to put in a new and modern heating plant, and also a suitable library for the benefit of the inmates there. At the sessions held Thursday the several committees reported and other unfinished business was transacted, following which an exercise known as the "Chapter of Sorrow" was held. The installation of officers closed the Excelsior Grand Chapter. Thursday the grand courts of Anmarah, a higher department of the women's branch of the work, held two sessions, and after a visit to the Widows and Orphans' Home the Grand Chapter adjourned. The new officers in the grand chapter are: J. H. Adams, Nashville, Royal Grand Patron; Mrs. A. E. Laprach, Chattanooga, Royal Grand Matron; A. D. Jenkins, Jellico, Associate Grand Matron; Mrs. H. N. Hightower, Nashville, Grand Treasurer; Mrs. H. L. Mosby, Memphis, Grand Secretary; Mrs. Flora Brown, Woodstock, Grand Conductress; Mrs. Hattie Gaston, Chattanooga, Assistant Grand Conductress. Mrs. W. B. Ward, of Nashville, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Nelson J. Whitaker, of Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Hodge entertained a large number of guests in honor of Mrs. W. B. Ward, of Nashville. Music and games were the features of the evening. At a late hour a three-course menu was served. Mrs. W. B. Ward, of Nashville, was the guest of Mrs. Mary Butford, of Mt.
