NEGRO LIBRARY GOES IN BOTTOM WILL BE LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF TWELFTH AVE. AND HYNES ST. This was the final decision of the commission in the action taken at the meeting Tuesday night as the committee appeared before the commission. After stating their side of the case, they were kindly received and their pleas heard, and they were then dismissed. Information was given out as to the commission's action Wednesday morning. So far as the Library Commission is concerned the colored branch of the Carnegie Library will be located at the corner of Twelfth avenue and Hynes street. This information was given out Wednesday morning after the regular meeting of the commission held Tuesday night at the Carnegie Library building on Eighth avenue, North. A committee representing the citizens of the city appeared before the commission and gave their protest against the 12th avenue and Hynes street site. This committee was composed of Mr. B. J. Carr, Rev. Preston Taylor, Dr. C. H. Clark, Dr. A. M. Townsend and Mr. D. A. Hart. The committee favoring the site and representing the Negro Board of Trade were: Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School; Mr. D. W. Crutcher, Dr. G. H. Bandy and Hon. A. N. Johnson. The statements of both committees were heard by the commission, and the ywere then dismissed. It was learned Wednesday morning that the commission voted to locate the Library on the site that had been selected by Mr. Alfred E. Howell, who was specially detailed to find a site. It is not known whether any further steps will be taken in the matter or not. It is known, however, that there is general dissatisfaction on the part of the people. It is known that the Shurch street viaduct will in a short while be extended to Thirteenth avenue, which will more inconvenience the people (Continued on Page 4.) NASHVILLE GLOBE. STATE NORMAL IN POLITICS Mr. Ben Carr, Superintendent of Farm, Discharged—Lawyer W. H. Young Gets Registership — Deal of Speculation as to the Motive Back of the Move—Gov. Hooper and Supt. Brister Make Statements. Lest Saturday at the meeting of the State Board of Education, the action taken by the Board in discharging Mr. Ben Carr, Superintendent of farm, and appointing Hon. W. H. Young as Register of School, has set tongues to wagging. The impression seems to be general that this move has plunged the school into politics up to the head. It had been rumored for some time that Mr. Carr would be dismissed. The action taken Saturday bears out this rumor. His successor was not appointed, but it is said that M. C. Buford, of Giles County, is endorsed by Hon. New White, speaker of the city, for the position made vacant Saturday. The appointment of Mr. Young as Register settled a long dreamed of contest over this position. It was thought at one time that Rev. Coleman, formerly of Clarksville, but now or Nashville, would be appointed and his appointment failed only through his inability to get the endorsement of President Hale for his appointment. This, it is said, stood in the way of Rev. Coleman in securing the position. President Hale has always said that the school would not be put in politics, but it seems that the action of the Board, on Saturday has set President Hale's intentions 2t naught. It is not known why he did not endorse Rev. Coleman; it is presumed that he did not desire to be connected with the appointment one way or the other. Rev. Young is one of the oldest lawyers and politicians in the city; besides being a lawyer, he was for several years a minister of the Gospel, pastoring churches in Oklahoma. Before entering the ministry he was in politics and at one time favorably mentioned for Recorder of Deeds in Washington. He did not get the appointment, but the endorsement of many of the leading politicians of Tennessee. In the last campaign he stumped the State for Gov. Hooper and the Fusionists, and it is claimed by many that his appointment as Register is a payment for his services rendered in that campaign. It seems that the appointment of the Young has nothing to do with the dismissal of Mr. Carr whatever, as it is known that the position of Register has been pending for some time. So it appears that the appointee who succeeds Mr. Carr will be some one who has rendered service to the Fusionist party, for whom they feel it their duty, politically, to reward. There is a general disapproval among the Negroes of Nashville on the discharge of Mr. Carr. All who know Mr. Buford speak in the highest terms of him as a man and recognize the favorable services he has rendered to the Fusionist party, in the last campaign, they also remember well that he has done a stumph work in politics, but there was no charge against Mr. Carr as can be remembered and it is this fact that causes the disapproval of the people. They feel that Mr. Carr was a worthy and competent man and they think that he should have at least been allowed to serve out the term of years for which he was appointed. It was also remembered that Mr. Carr has done great service for the Negroes of Tennessee as well as Nashville, and a few years ago when a bill was to abolish Greenwood Park, it was Mr. Carr who took the bill by the horns and influenced the Governor to veto the bill. It is acknowledged by all that the State Normal would not have been in Nashville, and probably would be located in Nashville. There is no man in the state who worked as hard for this school as did Mr. Carr. He has been a successful farmer and the people feel that he was entitled at least to the same recognition for his faithful services rendered in this respect. It will also be remembered that it was through the untiring efforts of this same man that Hadley Park was purchased and dedicated to Negroes of Nashville; and many other things has he done for the good of the people; and no man has as yet been able to see any personal benefit that has come to Mr. Carr other than the appointment of Superintendent at the Normal School. Those well acquainted with the conditions at the institution know that he has been a great force in its development. He has worked night and day that things might be gotten cheap in the quest of time, and since he has been dismissed there is a deal (Continued on page 5). NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY MAY 9, 1913.

Memphis, Tenn. May 2.—The Endowment Board of the Order of Calan- met in its third quarterly session, for the fraternal year, at the office of Mrs. Abbie W. Saunders, G. W. C. No. 781 Mississippi avenue, Memphis. The meeting was quite a success. All the departments of the Grand Court are in a healthy condition and the Secretary reported increase in both members and finance. The faithful women thought at first that the loss of the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, who had been G. W. C. from the beginning of the organization of this Grand Court, was more than they could bear. It is also true that they have missed the presence of their late Grand Worthy Counsellor. Other- wise the work of the Grand Court goes smoothly on. Not a single law- suit has been had and fidelity, harm and love, the fraternal watch- word, seems to govern every act. All obligations have been met and the order is growing all over the State. The following collections have been received since July 1st, 1912: To balance brought forward from 34th Quarter ..... $9,275.72 To amount collected from 35th Quarter ..... 1,930.60 To Amount collected for 36th Quarter ..... 1,805.10 To amount connected for 37th Quarter ..... 1,949.37 Total debit at close of 37th Quarter ..... $14,960.79 Disbursements.

A deal of business was transacted. The Calanthians of Memphis took special pains to give honor to their G. W. C., Mrs. Abbie W. Saunders, and her Endowment Board officers: Mrs. Clemille White, Treasurer, and Mrs. M. A. Turner, Secretary. After business was over a banquet was tendered them by the Courts in their lodge room on Beale street, where they had a pleasant handshaking and good-by. On Tuesday afternoon the Board was invited to six o'clock dinner at Calanthe Lucy Hightower's, on Turley street; on Wednesday six o'clock dinner at Calanthe Georgia Brown, on Alston avenue. A beautiful program was carried out at the banquet hall, consisting of instrumental music and solos, speech-making by grand officers and Sir Knights Hon. Thos. Hayes and L. C. Moore. The members of the various Courts expressed themselves well pleased with the present administration and said they were coming to the Grand Court united as one. Mrs. Clemmie White, Treasurer of both the Endowment Department and the Grand Court, stated that she had in the Grand Treasury over $15,000 in cash. SECRETARY OF EDUCATION IN THE CITY.

THOUSANDS OF BAPTISTS WILL PARTICIPATE Line of March Will Be Led by Two Brass Bands—Majestic Theatre to Be the Scene of Great Religious Gathering -- Every Baptist School in the City Will Be in the Meeting— Metokas and Ga- ledas Growing. Activities among religious work-ers of Negroes of this city have been aparently on the increase for the past few years, caused primarily by the development of new leaders who co- operate with the older ones in push- ing the work of the young people directly through the Sunday-school. Sunday Nashville will witness perhaps the biggest demonstration in a religious way that has been attempted. This is especially true among the Negro Baptists, who are the prime movers in the affair to be held at the Majestic Theatre Sunday afternoon. Sunday will be their Sunday-School Jubilee Day and in reality it is the first public celebration among one religious denomination in commemoration of the fifty years of freedom from slavery. Two brass bands have been employed and the representatives of forty-five Sunday-schools will parade across the square to Deckrid street, down Deffrick to Cherry, Cherry to Union, Union to Fifth avenue, Fifth avenue to Cedar, down Cedar to the Majestic Theatre, where a special program will be rendered. Twelve minute addresses will be delivered, but one real feature will be a song service, including plantation melodies, conducted by Rev. N. H. Plus, their National chorister, who will have charge of a chorus of 100 voices. The songs will be from books made and published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is Secretary. In line with these will be the Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress, H. A. Boyd, with the officials of the Metoka and Galeda organizations. Then will come the children from 45 Sunday-schools led by their superintendents" will be the popular march song and the new Metoka and Galeda march song recently dedicated to this movement by Prof. Tofbias, of Chattanooga, will stir the forces during the line of march. At the meeting of the superintendents held last week it was decided that this would be the last demonstration of the Sunday-schools prior to the convening of the Congress at Muskegow, which is the largest gathering of Sunday-school workers of any distinctive denomination in the United States. It is estimated that about sixty will go from Nashville to this meeting in Oklahoma, which is to be held June 4th-9th. The same chorus that will render music Sunday will be held in tact for the coming session of the National Baptist Conven- BRIERVILLE SCHOOL CLOSED.

The college and law graduates wore their caps and gowns, the normals wore their pretty white dresses and the commercial class wore white skirts and shirtwaists with standing collars and black string neckties, appearing very business like.

Mayfield, Solicitor for Complainant. Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of AGRICULTURE Since the first of the year attention has been given to the Legislature by the people of the State generally. The Department of Agriculture has been interested in legislation that would enable the Department to more efficiently serve the farmers of the State. Some of this legislation we have secured, some we have not. All who have read "Talks to Farmers" know of our plans to secure County Demonstration farms. This bill has passed two readings in both houses and has been recommended for passage by the Agricultural Committees of both Houses, but it looks now that it will get no further. This is to be regretted because the demonstration farm conducted on practical lines would have been of great value to the farmers of the State, would have been a strong factor in improving rural life conditions. But because we do not get all we want or all we need is no reason for letting the opportunities we have go to waste. We still have the co-operation of the newspapers for disseminating information. We can continue our Farmers' Institutes. The railroads are interested in the agricultural development of the State and will lend valuable assistance. The commercial organizations, when they understand that the development means prosperity for them, will lend their aid in the work of development. And you, brother farmers, are more directly interested. When you stop and look over the situation with the experience you have had in the past, knowing the methods you have practiced with the results you have secured as compared with the results o fothers who started under more unfavorable conditions than yours, who have built up their soils and made money, don't you think it is worth while to do a little practical thinking for yourself when it means in- 8 dependence and prosperity for you and yours? It is not expected for you to master all of the science of agriculture at once, but you know that you have been trying to cultivate as it should be; you know that you have been plowing shallow when you ought to plow deep. You have planted your ground before you had prepared a good seed bed. You had so much ground to go over that before you could get over your crop, weeds had a foothold in your corn and you let them share in the little plant food. When your crop was ready to harvest you have taken all off the soil and if the weeds and corn stalks would interfere with the next crop you would烘 and burn them. You know how you have let the barnyard manure go to waste. We could go on enumerating the things that you know yourself is not good farm practice. Now really, brother farmer, when you get right down to the facts, is there not a lot of things that you are doing and a lot more that you are not doing that you could do and if you would do would make a big difference in your crops? Your own good common sense will tell you what is best in the majority of cases. You have more interest in your success than anyone else. You owe it to yourself to give your work your best thought and energy. We have in "Talks to Farmers" taken up the simple, essential things necessary for soil building; the use of barnyard manures and fertilizers, methods of preparing land for crops, selection of seed, cultivation, etc. Do not cultivate more than you can prepare and cultivate right. You know that people in other vocations are all the time awake and eager for information that will help them to make their work more profitable. Why not you? The Department of Agriculture is going to assist you just as far as we can. We are limited in funds, but just as far as we can go in the work we will. We had planned to broaden our work to get in direct personal touch with you in demonstrations that could follow. This has been denied us, but we will do all we can; will you do as much. If you will I will guarantee that in two years from now you will think more of farming and have more faith in its possibilities than you have in the past. Give the farm a square deal and it will not disappoint you. TO ENTER BUSINESS IN NASHVILLE. Latest among the developments in business circles comes the information that Mr. Walter B. Gray, a former Nashvillian, who is now in Washington and who has spent much time in the East, will arrive in Nashville May 10th to begin a business enter [Name] W. B. GRAY, prise. Mr. Gray has spent three or four years in the nation's capital as a student at Howard University, where he was vice president of his his class. He has taken an active part in all the athletics of the university, especially on the football team. It is not known into what line of business Mr. Gray will enter. Special mention has been made of Mr. Gray by one of the trustees of Howard in the person of J. C. Napier, the register of the treasury, and Mr. George William Clark, Secretary and Business Manager of the University. 4 NASHVILLE GLOBE.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The High School Ball. It has been the custom several years for the High School graduates to wind up their commencement with a ball. After the commencement exercises are over they repair to some hall and there they dance until the hour of morn draws nigh. While we do not condemn dancing we have never been able to see much good in it. But it is not the condemnation of dancing that is our aim now, but the advisability and practicability of closing a High School career with a ball. The argument that white people do the like is not germane to the case of the graduates of the the Negro High School. The question that should be considered in the case at issue is is it a wise step for Negroes? Is it helpful to a class of young graduates to start them out in life with the fascinating scenes of the ball room the last impression of a night so memorable? This is a matter that parents and preachers should consider soberly. Your sons and daughters will not find positions awaiting them in keeping with their abilities, and when they awake in the morning after their graduation it would be more helpful to them if their first thoughts would be of some sentence in an address delivered that would point them to the ways of life. False Leadership. Like a mill stone around the neck of a man in mid-stream it seems that the Negroes of Nashville are hobbled with false leadership. There are those who have the ability to lead but they are hindered by those self-important hypocrites who are forever thrusting themselves forward declaring that they are the leaders. They never think of the people until an occasion comes when they think they see an opportunity to get a little publicity, and as soon as that spell is over they crawl in their holes and idolize themselves until somebody attempts to do something for the good of the people, and then it may be depended upon that the all-important will trot themselves out again. False leaders they are. Hypocrites. They do not really know the people and care less about them. There is a demand for true leaders. Those men and women who are constantly rendering service for the people. And the only way such leaders can be had is for the people to take a hand in public affairs and set down hard on these false leaders. The Southern Sociological Congress. Though not much noticed by the press despatches, there was held in Atlanta, Ga., April 25-29 one of the most important gatherings in the history of the South. The Southern Sociological Congress was in reality what its advanced literature pronounced it to, "A Council of War for National Health and Righteousness." It was an assemblage of brains and patriotism "with an enthusiasm for the possible." The Southern Sociological Congress stands: For the abolition of convict lease and contract systems, and for the adoption of modern principles of prison reform. For the extension and improvement of juvenile courts and juvenile reformatories. For the proper care and treatment of defectives, the blind, the deaf, the insane, the epileptic, and the feeble-minded. For the recognition of the relation of alcoholism to disease, to crime, to pauperism, and to vice, and for the adoption of appropriate preventive measures. For the adoption of uniform laws of the highest standards concerning marriage and divorce. For the adoption of the uniform law on vital statistics. For the abolition of child labor by the enactment of the uniform child labor law. For the enactment of school attendance laws, that the reproach of the greatest degree of illiteracy may be removed from our section. For the suppression of prostitution. For the solving of the race question in a spirit of helpfulness to the Negro and of equal justice to both races. Both the closest co-operation between the Church and all social agencies for the securing of these results. These objects were never lost sight of. Knowledge of the subjects was as characteristic of the speakers as enthusiasm for refarm. In fact, they were not so much reformers as patriots, with practicable schemes for the betterment of the country. In fine, the Congress seems in earnest that the South is going to make good its oft repeated boast that if given a chance it would equitably adjust its own problems. Of all things that are reputed to harbor disease germs money is never put under the ban. The filthy lucre is acceptable at all times by all people from all people. The Capital City Baseball League is unique in one respect, there are no "Giants" in the organization. STREET CARS TO THE STATE NORMAL Tuesday of this week Mr. Ben Carr and officials of the Street Railway were out looking over the territory preparatory to extending the car line to the Colored State Normal. When seen b ya globe representative Mr. Carr said he had assurance that the car line would be extended at once. This will be good news to the people of Nashville. The distance from the end of the Jefferson street line to the Normal is over a mile and many are deterred from visiting the institution on that account. President Warner has promised to rush the line right through and hopes to have the line completed before commencement. Also the students to the Summer Normal will not have to walk through the hot sun and rain to and from the sessions. It is believed that a much larger number of teachers will attend the Summer Normal when they learn that the school line has been extended to the school grounds. A great number of the teachers will of course be accommodated in the Normal buildings, but there will be many who will desire to stop with their friends in the city, and further more, those who board in the Normal building will desire to visit the city from time to time on business and pleasure. The extension of this line will bring joy to the hearts of all and will be of untold benefit to the school CROP REPORT FOR MONTH OF APRIL—RAIN NEEDED VERY BADLY. The State Agricultural Department yesterday issued the April crop report, which shows that the crops were not in the best of condition owing to the need of rain in East Tennessee and the high waters in West Tennessee. The report follows: "Correspondents in eighty-eight of the ninety-six counties of the State reported on crop conditions and prospects for the month of April. "Moderate temperature and dry weather marked the greater part of the month, and rain was needed toward the last of April. High water in the early part of the month delayed farming operations in the river sections, however, much work was done during the month in putting in corn and cotton. Garden Looking Good. "Gardens are reported in good condition, and in the trucking sections of the State prospects are good for a fine season, especially in the strawberries. "Alfalfa is reported in excellent condition, wheat stands have been obtained. Young clover and meadow grasses are also reported doing well. "Some damage was done by frosts to the peach prospects, but the damage was not so bad as first reported. Indications are for a half crop or better. Apples were not damaged as much as peaches. "With the exception of hogs live stock in the State is reported in excellent condition. Hog chopera has done great damage in the State and is still prevalent. Report for April "No report was issued for April 1912, and no comparison is offered. Taking 100 as a normal crop, the following figures are compiled from the reports: NEGRO LIBRARY GOES IN BOTTOM in getting to the Library. It is also the opinion of many that in few years a vladuet will be built connecting Union and Hynes streets, this will put a vladuca roght over the Lk heavy building, thereby adding to the filth. It is believed that if a committee from the Board of Trade had been consistent, they could have influenced the commission to select a more desirable site, but the nonconformity in this matter went a long way to ward influencing the commission to settle on the site that has been selected. The people consider this a most deplorable affair, as it is not believed that the library will be of much service to the people. THE LADIES' MISSIONARY SOCIETY TY OF THE MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH The Ladies' Missionary Society of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church held their weekly meeting Monday. May 5. at the home of the president, Mrs. M. mberry, of Fourteenth avenue. The meeting opened at 3:30 o'clock with song by the society. "How Firm a Foundation" was sung. Prayer was offered by Carrie M. Holder, after which the Scripture was read by the president. The sixth missionary lesson was taught by Miss Bushnell, after which striking remarks were made by the president. The meeting adjourned to meet with the president Monday evening. May 12. Those present were Mrs. Maberry, Misses Bushnell, Taylor, Holder, Ellis and McGavock. The president urges all members to be present at the next FARMERS ASSOCIATION HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING IMPORTANT MEETING. Last Saturday in the room of the Board of Trade in the People's Savings Bank Building on Cedar street. The Farmers' Association of Davidson County held an important and enthusiastic meeting. Geo. W. Murry of South Carolina was the principal speaker. Rev. Jackson of Memphis, a prominent worker along industrial lines was also present and spoke words of encouragement. Rev. G. W. Burford of Giles Country and Rev. Childress of Dixon County and many others made encouraging remarks. The farmers from the various counties were present to the number of fifty to one hundred. A committee of ten from New Hope Baptist Church presented to the Association claims for the Hortense Widow's Orphan Home and the proposition was well received. Mr. Wesley Hogan of Hermitage District is president of the Association. Mr. Childress of Dixon is Secretary and Mr. J. B. Millan, manager. ELBA NOTES. Horton Court. No. 93, was very much pleased to have the G. L. N. N. Reynolds with them on last Saturday evening, May 3rd. The G. L. is full of sound fruit of Calanthianism and is more familiar with the affairs and conditions of the Courts of Tennessee, than any other one member in our Grand Court. Let us push him up the ladder of fame after having entertained him Saturday with barbecue and refreshments of all kinds. He was then on the following day conveyed by Mr. C. C. Hodges to the church. Rev. H. Jecries, the pastor preached. His text is "Get Ready." Mr. A. M.

White, assisted by Mrs. H. A. Cameron, Miss Marica Coombs, Dr. S. S. Caruthers and Mr. Patton, all of Nashville, gave a musical for the benefit of "This Way up Station." Seldom has Columbia had such a treat. The solo parts of Dr. Caruthers, Mrs. Cameron and Mr. Patton deserve special mention. The duet, "Hold Thou My Hand," by Mrs Coombs and Mrs. Cameron, brought tears to many eyes. While here they were the guests of Miss Maggie Green, Hume Sykes, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Buford were the guests of Miss Janis Green Sunday, Mrs. Henry Sherrood is quite sick at her home on East Hill Miss Maggie Green attended the concert at Fisk University Friday evening. TEACHERS' STORY TELLERS' LEAGUE The Nashville Teachers' Story Tellers' League will meet to-morrow at Pearl High School at 11 o'clock. A good program will be rendered and the public is invited to attend. $6000 In One Day for Education To the Baptists of the State of Tennessee and elsewhere, and to the public and friends of education, irrespective of denomination, the following appeal is made: The American Baptist Home Mission Society, of New York, has set aside $14,000 to assist in building a Boys' Dormitory at Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., on condition that the people of Tennessee raise $6,000, which amount must be in hand before work on the proposed dormitory can be commenced. There is not enough room to accommodate the young men attending school this session, and this is the reason that this appeal, by the order of the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University, is being made to Baptists and all other people as well to respond financially to this dormitory project. The fifth Sunday in June, 1913, is set apart as the day to raise $6,000. We are asking, and most earnestly too, that five thousand Baptists of the State give ONE DOLLAR each, all former students $5 each, and all graduates of Roger Williams University to give not less than $10 each. Pastors and churches are requested to form clubs of twenty-five to fifty members who will send us from one to two dollars each on or before the fifth Sunday in June. Let the pastors of Nashville, for the sake of the school, take the lead in this matter. Let the Baptist denominaton in Tennessee rise to the dignity of the occasion and contribute by pledging to give on rally day begin and erect the Boys' Dormitory. Let all Christians pray for financial success on that day. Rev. Robert Page, pastor of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, heads the list $100. Any amount given by any the six thousand dollars needed to friend will be gladly received and faithfully appropriated. All money must be sent to Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., Missionary and Educational Secretary for Tennessee. Office No. 447 Fourth avenue, North Nashville, Tenn.

Introduction--A Personal Note Office, 4 Arcade What we need in the South is Racial Self-Respect without Racial Antagonism. Some knowledge of the messenger often illuminates the message, I was born and reared among white people, I was born and reared among white people. The playmates and associates of my childhood were white. My moral and religious instructions came from the same source. I have received upon a sick-bed the kindly ministrations of sympathetic white companions. I have sunk into the death-like sleep of surgical narcosis amid the earnest prayers of Christian white women mingled with those of my mother. I have felt the blessed benediction from the soothing words of a pious minister in the presence of death. I have seen him cheer the last hours of the dying and lend up the wounds of the broken-hearted. So I know that some white people have the true religion of Jesus Christ who "was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory." (1 Timothy 3:16) From such experiences I came forth nearly thirty years ago to dwell among my own people. Among the farewells was the benediction of a pious old Scotchman, who had been for two years my "philosopher, guide and friend," and who presciently assured me that I would prosper in the land if I would but trust God and do right. "Remember," said he, as the trainee pulled out of the station, "He that walketh uprightly, walketh surely". In less than a week I was a school teacher in the back-woods of Kentucky. Within five years I was a practicing physician. I have mingled with my people in church and society. I have had the advantage of travel and observation, and I know something of mankind in general, as well as my own people in particular—their virtues and their vices, their joys and their sorrows, their hopes and their fears. I love my people and prefer to live among them. I am not ashamed of being a Negro. But this is not all; during my life in the South I have known white men in all the walks of life; and I firmly believe that kindness is very widely distributed, and that the love of justice and fair-play is more prevalent than either class prejudice or racial antagonism. Moreover, professional and personal friendships have brought confidence that have revealed skeletons of heart-hurts which only the most intimate ever know of each other. I have, therefore, come to believe that no human heart is so hard as to feel no pain, and none so strong as to need no sympathy. Misunderstanding, rather than meanness makes men unjust. Ignorance and prejudice feed upon each other. The ignorant are always prejudiced and the prejudiced are always ignorant. If the white people and the black people in this glorious Southland of ours ever understand each other, racial self-respect will safeguard the guard in purities of racial integrity; purious of racial integrity; and in integrity; and in matters of common welfare, co-operation will displace antagonism. In the sincere hope of contributing to a mutual understanding between the races, was this paper written. PART ONE.-BASIC GENERAL TRUTHS. I. Man's sole right to pre-eminence over his animal kinsmen is his intellectuality. The mind makes the man. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Not his looks, nor his stature, but his thoughts make the man. It is not the shape of his head, whether it be dolichocephalic or *achiocephalic*; it is not the texture of his hair, whether it be ultrichous or lictirious; it is not the facial contour, whether it be angular and sharp and European, or broad and flat and African; it is not the color of the skin, whether it have the achromatic pallor or the Norwegian, or the midnight hue of the sunkissed Senegambian; no, neither facial angles nor brain weight, nor set of teeth, nor length of arm, nor arch of foot, nor any other outward physical characteristic in the determining factor in life's complicated equation. As a man thinks, not as a man Looks, finally fixes his statys Thoughts and not bites, win the battles of life. This is as true phyletically as individually. Racial distinctions are psychological rather than physical. Slav, Saxon and Latin are far more dissimilar in mental habit than in physical contour. Mental habit rathtrat than physical form differentiated Greece and Rome. Many attempts have been made to classify mankind, but the intellectual division into sensor motor and idea motor is the most far-reaching. II.—Humanity Is Greater Than Races. It is said that Napoleon Jost the Battle of Waterloo because he misunderstood the topography of the region over which his cavalry had to pass in their charge against the Allied Armies under Wellington. Ignoring a sunken road precipitated a series of reverses that ended ignominiously the marshal career of the First Napoleon and eclipsed forever his star of world-wide conquest. The careers of nations are typified in the careers of individuals. The Saxon is the conquering war-lord among nations, and seems destined to rule the world. There is, however, a chasm in his path, whose depths and dangers he seems unable to apreciate. It is color prejudice—the efort to substitute race for merit in measuring men. Modern civilization will go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah unless justice and fraternity can gain a firmer hold on the hearts and brains of men. No civilization can become world-wide and enduring if a white skin is the indispensable, passport to justice and distinction. This would exclude from the fruits of civilization the majority of mankind. III.—The Highest Wisdom Is of Know the Truth; the Highest Virtue Is to Do the Right. One should have either the brains to lead or the faith to follow. To be willing to live the truth is a greater virtue than to be willing to die for one's opinions. Martyrdom is at best only a test of fidelity to opinion and not an argument for truth. In its last analysis, it may be sheer stubbornness. Man's attitude towards new or unpleasant truth is the greatest tragedy of human life. He not only does not know the truth, and does not want to know it, but will resent to the bitter end anybody else's knowing it or talking about it. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light." (John 3:19.) IV. Justice and Liberty Are for All or for None. Injustice cannot linger in a land that is really "bright with freedom's holy light." No tyrant was ever free. No man is secure in his rights so long as any man is deprived of his rights. It is easier to be generous than it is to be just. Man's hope of justice has ever been an idle dream, and his quest for liberty a fool's erand; because he is not willing to be just, nor to meet the conditions of freedom. Phone M. 43 AL ANTAGONISM enn. Note V.—Selfishness (Mutual Benefits) Is the Only Sane Basis from Which to Predicate Successful Co-operation No man is ever going to think more of you than he does of himself. The highest ethical ideal ever lived or preached enjoined that you love your neighbor as yourself. Sane altruism is the highest and sane egoism. VI—Conduct Must Be Consistent or Character Will Not Be Sound. An individual or people cannot long remain both Jekyl and Hyde—one character or the other will eventually triumph. No one can successfully change his character with his company. A race cannot be persistently unjust and dishonest to another race and be permanently either honest or just to itself. Kindness never degraded one one, nor did vulture never vindicate anybody's claim to superiority. A virtuous man is an asset to his community, and a vicious man is a deficit, regardless of racial identity. PART TWO.—PRESENT CONDITIONS. 1. There Has Arisen in the South a Type of Politician That Proposes to Make the White People Happy by Making the Negroes Unhappy. They propose to better the poor white man's condition relatively and negatively by working the Negroes' condition. They would burk the welfare of their country for power and self. Instead of striving to move forward themselves, they are striving to force the Negro back. It is a strange and wicked delusion that seems to have completely obsessed the majority in some Southern States, and opened the door to political preferment. They expect to reach heaven for themselves by raising—for the Negroes. They hope by some political alchemy to put more rights in the constitution for themselves by taking out any rights the Negro may have, or think he has therein. II.-The Races Know and Believe in the Vices of Each Other, But do not Know or Believe in the Virtues of Each Other. The average white Christian believes that the Negro neither understands nor practices the true principles of Christianity, and the Negro knows that the white man so believes. But the Negro believes identically the same thing of the white man, and this the white man does not know. Yet neither doubts the others' vices. Further, the average Negro feels it is impolite to be manly, and dangerous to be frank with white people. May it not be possible that each race has given the other mite evidence of its vices than it has of its virtues? Each has demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the other its guilt of falsehood, theft and immorality; but each has failed to impress upon the other its truth, honesty and virtue. If the white man has the more intelligence, the Negro has more secretiveness. Each falls to understand the other. Playing master developed arrogance while playing slave developed cunning. Neither is a desirable quality in a friend. III.—A Belief That the Negro Is Unable to Defend Himself Often Makes White People Tyramical. A belief that the courts are unfair frequently makes the Negro desperate. By magnifying petty offenses, petty criminals are made grave and incorrigible offenders. Thus the seeds of race antagonism and anarchy are sown. The records of the inferior courts of our country will prove painful reading to those who love justice (Continued on Page 8.) 1906 HISTORY OF THE W. E. P. CLUB. In the spring of 1906, a number of kindred spirits desiring a good time socially would gather each week-end at the home of one of their number and indulge in social games after which refreshments would be served. At these meetings the principal diversion would be the game of "pit." At this time the conclave was under the leadership of Messrs. Jacob Anderson and Chas. Powell. From time to time invitations were extended from a number of homes where the hostess would invariably serve intoxicants which did not meet [Name] JOHN S. BROWN, Jr. President W. E. P. Club. the approval of the parties entertained, thereupon a persistent but quiet effort was made by Messrs. Charles Powell and Emanuel Gibbs for the elimination of the "cup that cheers" they won their point. This was the auspicious beginning of the W. E. P. Club of Nashville. The organization was perfected by the election of W. H. Hollins as president. Mr. Hollins gave the club its name. At this meeting all officers were elected and committees appointed to draft the by-laws and constitution. In the early days of the club a swell full dress social was MR. ALBERT BRACKENS, Vice President W. E. P. Club. given at the home of the Misses Northern on Patterson street. Mr. W. H. Hollins served as president four successive terms he is now an honored private in the ranks. He was succeeded by Mr. Leslie Rowans, who served two terms; Mr. Charles Powell then served two terms When Mr. Leslie Rowan was again elevated to the position. The pres- sent official is Mr. John S. Brown, Jr., who is making a most brilliant official. The motto of the club is Friendship, Liberality and Sociability. The club is always glad to entertain visitors and strangers who are of good moral character. The meeting nights are the 1st and 3rd Tuesday in each month. Several high class entertainments have been given under the administration of President Brown. One was especially for the parents of the club members at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Rowan, 209 West 8th street. A banquet was given at Young's Hotel Thanksgiving Day which was a brilliant success. On April 5, the spring social was had at Young's Hotel. The house was luxuriantly decorated with palms ferns and potted plants and lighted with various colored electric bulbs, giving a beautiful rich effect. Frappe was served. Dancing and games were the diversions. A three course menu was served. * * * Ewing and Southall Entertain.

Examination of Titles to Real Estate and Saving Mortgaged Homes STATE NORMAL IN POLITICS (Continued from Page 1.1) of speculation on just what effect it will have on the school. It is learned that the Board gave Mr. Carr thirty days to vacate the premises. It is not known definitely just where he will locate, but it is presumed that he will take up his residence in that vicinity, as he has considerable interest in real estate out in that part of the city. It is most likely that he will for the present take up his residence in a building purchased by him near Hadley Park, or it may be he will remove to his former residence in North Nashville, on Eighteenth avenue. The people regret that Mr. Carr has been removed from the school, but they know he will still be a great force in all things pertaining to the Mrs. M. L. DODSON, Secretary. improvement of the people in this city. He is a natural worker and he never counts the cost of his service rendered to humanity. Governor Hooper, Prof. Brister and President Hale were communicated with in regard to this matter, but no reply had been received up to time of going to press. THE PEOPLE EXPRESS THEIR REGRETS. Some of the leading Negro citizens of Nashville came forward with an expression of their regret of Mr. Carr's removal. Among them were the following: Rev. S. L. Howard, Secretary of the Evangelistic Board of the A. M. E. Church, said: "I was dumbfounded when I read in the papers that Mr. Carr hhd been dismissed, and I am perplexed to know why such action was taken, since I see no charge against him. Some mention has been made of Mr. Mack Buford, who is a personal friend of mine whom I would be delighted to see given the position. I feel that he is thoroughly competent and worthy, but I do not feel that any man should be unceremoniously dismissed without a charge, and since Mr. Carr did more than any other man to bring the school to Nashville, I cannot but feel that he has been treated unfairly, unless there is some cause for the action taken. Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of First Baptist Church, said he was sorry indeed to learn of Mr. Carr's dismissal from the State Normal, as he is a great force in the community, and has done a noble service for his people. A prominent man who did not give his statement for publication said he was for Carr, he felt that he had been done a great injury and during his remarks he said, "We must stand by Carr." Dr. G. H. Bandy, president of the Negro Board of Trade, when asked for an expression in regard to the matter said he had not seen the matter mentioned in the papers and did not know anything about it. The doctor was asked for an expression on Monday and the dismissal of Mr. Carr appeared in the papers Sunday morning. During the conversation, however, Dr. Bandy asked a question if it did not look like a political trick, although he said he did not know anything about it. Rev. C. H. Clark, Church of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, said that he considered it a very unfortunate affair that the Normal School should be dragged into politics, and that he never heard of a man being dismissed from a position without a charge registered against him. Mr. Carr was seen and asked for a statement in regard to the matter, he said he did not know why he was dismissed, said he asked Gov. Hooper and Supt. Brister to state their charges against him or give a reason why the v had dismissed him, he said he told them that he had never heard of a criminal being convicted without some charge against him, but he said the officials merely said to him that they did not care to say anything. Mr. Carr said that he has been harassed ever since he was appointed; that a member of the Board who was appointed uncer the present administration gave him to understand in the outset that he was not wanted as Superintendent of the Farm and that the objection of the Board member to Mr. Carr was because of his political relations. When he was employed as Superintendent of the farm his salary was put at $100 per month. He moved on the farm before the school was completed, he said the State Board did not feel willing to pay him his salary the first year and the school was not in a position to take charge of the farm, so Mr. Carr was told to take the farm and get out of it what he could. He bought stock and implements and for the first year effort cleared between seven ad eight hundred dollars. He said that when this became known to the Board, they decided to deduct from his salary $20 per month for the rent of his house he was occupying; he had receipts to show that this had been paid. One was for $60 and the other for $100 He was given thirty days' notice to pack up and move. The farm and truck garden is all planted and under cultivation. It is not known what will be done with the farm, as no successor has been appointed and this being the season of the year when the truck should have close attention, the fear is entertained that the crop will fall short. 6 Enough for one room, side walls, border and ceiling for 75 cts And Up White Front 422 Deaderick St. Look for the Front Painted White C.

WORK, RENDER COLE- RIDGE TAYLOR'S GREAT COM- POSITION—“HIAWATHA.” By Prof. Richard Hil’, Just before his untimely death in England last September, Samuel Cole: ridge-Taylor, one of the ablest of niodern musielans, and the greatest composer his race has produced, sat up in bed, and with hands and fea- tures expressing his great delight, he conducted an imaginary orchestra from the beginning to the end of one of his excellent composttions, then bowing to the right and to the left tp an imaginary audience, as\ was his custom, his gentle spirit took its flight “To the Islands of the Blessed, To the kingdom of Ponemah! To the land of the Hereafter.” But last Friday night in the me- morial chapel of Fisk University, filled with an audience unexcelled in any city in the country for culture ‘apd’ refinement, it seemed that the noble spirit of the great mustc-mas- ter, Coleridge-Taylor, had returned to earth, and to personally give atten dance to the singing of “Hiawatha,” his most widely known work. It seemed to be in the baton of Prof. H. H. Wright, the leader, It appeared to have touched and con: tolled the fingers of Miss Allee May Grass at the great organ, and to have inspired the hearts and throats of Harry Burleigh, baritone; John W. Work, tenor; the Misses Jones and Boulder, sopranos, and each and every one of the hundred singers of this society, famous already for its suc- cesses In singing the world’s master- pieces in musical composition. Full three parts of the composition was given in its entirety: first, “Hi awatha’s Wedding Feast,” then “Death of Minnehaha,” and last “Hiawatha’s Departure.” Each part is in itself enough for ‘one concert, and to sing all three al Gne performance ahd yet keep the audience, as it were, spell-bound, is but another proof of the greatness of the work and the excellence of its ren- dition, In part one, John W. Work, tenor, recelved an ovation for his beautiful singing of “Onaway,” the love sone of the “Wedding Feast." The thor. oughly finished, artistic and pleasing work of Harry Burleigh, baritone, in parts two and three, was an inspira- tion to the young’singers, and will not be soon forgotten by the large number of people present. For a chorus of members so young the precision of their work and th beautiful, solemn cadences, especially in part two, “Death of Minnehaha,’ brought tears fo the eyes of many—+ fitting memorial of the death of it Gomposer. Ten years ago, Fisk's Mo gart society sang the same composi tion. ‘The hope is generally expresse that they will not wait so tong agal before the people may have anothe! opportunity to Wear so great a work ARRESTED ON MURDER CHARGE Officers Nab Man at Show Grounds— Killing Sunday Night. ‘Henry Adams, alias Joln Williams, aged 26 years, thought to have been the one who shut and instantly killed Clara Lane Sunday night at the cor- pr of Mleventh avenue and | Pear street, was arrested Tuesday morning by!

Everybody began to enjoy himself the moment all were safely aboard the ears, and the pleas- ure continued throughout the remain- der of the day. School songs and yells were indulged in during the trip to and from the park, Green- wood park is an ideal spot for picnics and outings and over on the grounds one enjoys a continuous round of pleasure.

Writing from Salt Lake City, Mr. Washington says: For a long while T have been anxious to get right into the midst of the Mormons to see what ‘kind of people they are, what they look lke, what they are doing, and in. ‘what respect they are succeeding. I have been spending two of the busiest ‘days that I have ever spent in my life in the very midst of ‘these people. ‘They have been mighty interesting days and I have seen some mighty interesting people. ‘The leaders. of the Mormon Church from President ‘Smith down have gone out of their ‘way to show me kindnesses and to ‘make my trip successful, 1am not going to discuss the Mor- ‘religion as I am not a theologian; I |mon religion as Tam not a theologian; [1 shall have to leave that to others, I |am always interested in studying and observing people regardless of thelr re- ligion. One of the Mormon bishops called to sce fhe, and from him I got some mighty interesting information that ought to prove of value to our rave. | In speaking of the Mormons, my |readers must remember that it was jonly 66 years ago that led by Brigham Young, 150 people came into this coun- |try when it was a wilderness. ‘They | eareles, in ox carts over a thousand | miles from the Missouri River. The Mormon Church itself was organized lin New York State only 84 years ago. |From 150 people, hardy pioneers who entered Utah 66 years ago the num- jber has grown year by year until in |Utah there are now over three hun ‘|dred thousand Mormons, and they have certainly made the desert blos |som as a rose. 1 have never been | among a more intelligent, . healthy ‘clean, progressive, moral set of peo -/ple than these people are. All through ) Utah they have turned the desert inte )/ gardens and orchards. Wherever ‘/one finds a Mormon colony there he {finds evidence of hard work an¢ | wealth, *| ‘The Mormon leaders here told mi in detail about the policy that the pursued when they first came. here ;|and here 1s a great lesson for our pec {ple im the South and thoughout thi 1 country.

"They knew tha ; |it they once got possession of the #0 N\and taught their people how to b come successful farmers that the would be laying the foundation s »|secure that they could not be di " |turbed.

Now that they are in possession of the soil and have taught their people how to become farmers they say they can afford. to go into mining, There aro two paraliels between the Negro and the Mormons, First, as my readers already Know, the Mor ‘mons were most inhumanly _perse- ‘cuted almost from the first organiza- ea of their church. This was especially true in Missourl and Illi. nols, Hundreds of their followers were put to death. ‘The courts gave ‘them little protection. The mob that either killed or wounded the Mor- mons was seldom, {f ever, punished. ‘They were an easy mark for any in- human brute who wanted to either Kill or wound them. Joseph Smith him- self, the founder of the church was murdered in Iilinols. But out of this inhuman and unjust treatment grew the strength of these people. ‘The more they were punished the more determined they became to succeed. Without opposition and injustice, 1 question the Mormon church would question whether the Mormon church would now be in its present flourish- ing condition. They were deprived of their property as well as thelr lives in their early years, but the more they were persecuted the closer they banded themselves together and the more determined they were to suc- ceed. Persecutions advertised this little sect to the world. The result ‘was that through persecution thelr numbers increased instead of being ‘diminished, The second parallel between Mor- mon and the Negro is this. ‘These people I am sure, have been misrepre- sented before the world. I have fearned by experience and observa: tion that it is never safe to pass final judgment upon a people until one has ‘had an opportunity to get into the real life of these people. ‘The Negro is ‘suffering to-day just as the Mormons ‘are suffering and have suffered, be- ‘cause people from the outside have ‘advertised the worst in connection “with, Mormon, life and they have sel |dom called attention to the best in connection with the life of the Mor- mon life and they have seldomETAO! mons, And then I have learned, too, that no person outside a race of out- |side a group of people can ever really know that race or that group of peo- |ple until he gets into their homes and has a chance to observe their men and women and their children, has a \chance to partake of their hospitality ‘and get into their inner life, There |are many people today who consider |themselves wise on the condition o} {the ‘Negro, who are really afraid to. &¢ into a Negro home, who never go inte |a Negro church or Sunday-school, wh« ‘have never met the colored people ft jany social circle, hence such people know little about the moral standard: ana activities of the colored people |The same I am convinced is true re |garding the Mormons. The peopl ‘|who speak in the most disrespecttu '|terms of these people are the one: who know least about them, || I am convineed that the Mormon: -|are not an immoral people. No im ) moral people could have such strong -|fifle bodies as these people have, no 1 such vigorous. and alert minds a -|they have. It has been by privileg ‘|to address schools and colleges ant -|untversities in nearly every part o 1/America, and I say without hestte ‘|ton that I have never addressed | - college anywhere where the student 1 were more alert, more responsiv. >| more intelligent than is true of th r/ students in these Mormon college: ®/I was hardly prepared for the ove 1 was given me at the State Universit, the student of which for the mos e part are Mormons, and I had the sam y experience in addressing the privat , schools and other institutions cor - ducted by Mormons, s| I met, for example, one of the daugl s|ters of Joseph H. Smith, the success dito Brigham Young and now the hea tjof the church. I was told that sh d was one of 49 children but she wa tian intelligent, modest, fine youn il/ woman with a strong body and a s-|alert mind. I was told that the ot yjer 48 children were just as health ojand strong and alert as she Is. Ju s-|how many wives President Joseph I d|Smith has or had I do not know, ‘o|am not going into the subject « st plural wives, but I am simply stati wt facts and giving my impressions, ot These Mormons have first cla: m schools of every character, and th @|are pushing the matter of technic jand industrial education to a stronger ogre than we are in the South among the colored people. In fact, time and time again I was told that ‘they leamed thelr methods for the ‘most part from Hampton, Tuskegee ‘and similar institutions, 1 was nearly taken off my feet when I went into a ‘class in the university and the teacher showed me a large piece - of paste board with pictures of our students at Tuskegee at work in the various in- dustrial departments.

As spring approaches every _beo- keeper should be making his prepara- tions for the honey harvest. Extra hives should be purchased, nailed to- ether and painted, ready for. the swarms as they come off. All frames should be wired and filled with full sheets of foundation, See that the ‘smoker is in good repair, and that the bee veil has no holes in it. Don't wait until the’ honey flow is on and the swarms are coming off before you ‘wake up and find yourself not ready. Such neglect will mean the loss of ore honey, dollars and interest ‘in a most profitable industry. All the hives should be gone into and carefully examined. See that each one has a good queen, whose wings are clipped and that there 1s plenty of stores to care for the brood during the early spring weeks, Should the stores be exhausted or light, feed ‘a thin syrup of sugar and water two ‘or three times weekly, But of all work in the early spring there Is none of more importanc« jthan the transferring of all swarms lor colonies from the old-fashioned hive or “gums” to the modern mow jable-frame hive, Don't try to. keep jbees in the old “gums.” ‘They are not only unprofitable, but a positiv |menace to aggressive _bee-keeving They are harboring places for moth: land the foul brood diseases.

You now have in the hive about one- third of the original colony, the comb and all the brook. Allow the old hive to stand for at least 21 days, at the end of which time the brood will be hatehed out, with the exception of a little drone brood, which will be of no value, Turn the old hive upside down and druin the bees out again into the hiving box. Put an entrance guard of perforated zinc over the en- trance of the new hive, smoke the bees of the new hive and then those in the hiving box, after which dump ‘it in front of the entrance of the new ‘hive, as before. The smoking is to prevent the fighting on the part of the bees at the second drive and the ‘entrance guard is to catch the queen, or queens, that have been raised in ‘the meantime in the olf hive. These \one or two, if virgins, should be ‘caught on the perforated metal and given to some queenly stocks. If the }old queen in the new hive Is a valua. ‘ble one, she should be caged at the time of making tle second drive, I jneither queen (the one in the old hive or the one in the new one) is \valuable, the perforated zinc need not \be used. | ‘The job of transferring is now com- |pleted, and all you nave on hand is an old box hive, containing a lot of old crooked combs, with perhaps a little honey and drone comb in it The honey can be extracted, or used as chunk honey on the table, if fi for usc, the rest can be melted uy Into wax, and the hive itself wil |make first-class kindling wood, be cause it is smeared over on the Inside with propolis and bits of wax, | AIL transferring by the _ novic should be at the beginning of, or dur ing the honey flow.

Dr. Booker T. Washington Talks to the People on Practical Things. Special to the Globe. Hampton Institute, Va., May 9. Starting from Hampton Institute Tuesday morning, under the general direction of Major R. R. Moton, commandment of Hampton Institute, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the world-renowned principal of Tuskegee Institute, began a four days' tour through Tidewater, Virginia. His itinerary included the principal towns in Northhampton, Accomac, Mathews and Gloucester counties, the territory lying along the eastern shore of Virginia, where many colored people are successfully engaged in farming and where is said to be the richest soil in the Old Dominion. The trip was made by Dr. Washington with a view of arousing the colored people of this productive section to greater industry and to encourage them to stay on the farm; to cultivate the friendship of the white people of their neighborhood and to endeavor through thrift, character, honesty and reliability, to create more cordial and sympathetic relations between black men and white men. In his addresses, facing large audiences of both races, Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of land-owning, of having a bank account and of the participation of the colored people in the commercial life of the state and nation. Little charity is now extended us, said Dr. Washington. "We are called upon to meet the best brain and brawn of the land in open competition and it will require our best efforts, our best energies and our highest intelligence to 'make good' under such a tremendous test. Tuesday morning, Dr. Washington spoke at Hare Valley, at Cherry Stone in the afternoon and at Cape Charles at night, spending the night at Cherry Stone. Wednesday he addressed large audiences at Tasley and Boston, stopping over night in the latter place. Thursday the schedule called for Mathews Court House at noon. Friday morning he spoke at Gloucester Court House; followed in the afternoon with the Gloucester Industrial School. The tour was in every way a gratifying success and the members of the party are satisfied the great good has been accomplished by this timely visitation on the part of the race's peerless leader." Similar tours have been made with gratifying results through the states of Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, North and South Carolina, Western Virginia, and Delaware and he has just concluded a triumphal survey of the Pacific Slope, carrying Cinna Here is the family of Mr. Charles Wright, of 1113 Eighteenth avenue, North.

Price in arranging the program and securing the participants cannot be too highly commended. The association is grateful to him and to all who so ably assisted. * The meeting last Sunday was a good one. Dr. G. W. Porter was not able to be present, but the men took part freely in a topic for general discussion. Timely comment on the thought contained in Nehemiah 4:6 was made by many. Next Sunday the men's meeting will be held at the Y. M. C. A. room, Pythian Temple, Sunday is "Mothers' Day" and all sons of all good mothers are invited to come and testify for them. Be sure you wear the white carnation. The Y. M. C. A. baseball team is getting ready for business. You will hear from them in the near future. Before the Globe appears again the Secretary, no doubt, will be in attendance at the International Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. BIOHOP PHILLIPS MOVES IN PIS NEW HOME. Bishon C. H. dPhillips, who has for some time lived on 12th avenue, has recently moved to his new home at 123 14th avenue. North. The old home place was in the vicinity where it has recently been decided to place the Negro Library. The Phillips family have lived in this vicinity for many years but it has been known for some time that they were looking for another location. It is said that the reason for the change was that the old neighborhood became an undesirable community and so the new home mentioned above was secured that the surroundings might be more congenial.

Sporting News. South Pittsburgh takes both games from Bridgeport, Ala. South Pittsburgh, Tenn., May 7., 1913. Special to the Globe. Both pitchers were hit hard. South Pittsburgh's superfield kept Bridgeport from many scores. Charlie Rodgers (Bull Dog) for South Pittsburgh starred in fielding and base running, getting a hit every time up. In fact, it was a hit feast. Both sides used two pitchers each, and each was hit freely. A good crowd was out to witness the combat. The first game was won by South Pittsburgh by a score of seventeen to one, and the second fifteen to twelve in favor of the locals. Batteries for Bridgeport: Thompson, Thompson and Bonner; for South Pittsburgh: Medlock, Kembro and Louis. Umpires, McElroy and Elliot. Time of game: 1:50.

Freed Douglass said that as a boy he discovered that the slaves oftenest whipped were not the ones most deserving punishment, but those most casly whipped. This is largely true of our administration of justice. This fact, rather than race prejudice or Negro criminality, explains the frequency with which Negro crap games are raided, and Negro vagrants incarcerated. IV.-Racial Contact Is Now at the Most Disadvantageous and Dangerous Point. (a) The vicious and criminal of both races in the saloons, brothels and gambling dens. (b) The ignorance and poverty of the Negro with the wealth and intelligence of the whites. The servant race gets an exaggerated idea of the wealth and influence of the master-race; and the master-race gets an exaggerated idea of the vice and ignorance of the servant-race. Both confuse race and class. The Negro is the greater loser; for a lack of racial ideals is his greatest misfortune. Imitation may be sincere dattery, but it is also an irritating annoyance that will bring down upon the hapless head of the imitator the contempt of the imitated. The attitude of the white man himself is responsible for the Negro's lack of race pride. --- V.—Any Accusation of Crime Is Made with Big Headlines in the Newspapers. Corrections or retractions are never thus made. The immense power of language is thus used to promote strife. Mobs originate in epithets as often as in crime. The intellectual force of associated ideas is used to generate race antagonism. This works one of the greatest hardships the Negro has to bear, and is the most potent force for evil in the race situation. VI.—The Doctrinaire Ebullitions of the Student Often Become Slogans of War Among the Ignorant. Newspaper and platform_arguments about "white supremacy" often take the form of cruelty and oppression when interpreted by a street-car conductor, a ward policeman or a workhouse guard. The extent of this oppression, I am sure, is entirely unknown to the majority of white citizens. It is an interesting, if pathetic study to see an artificial self-consciousness of racial superiority strangle the natural impulses of civilization. The other day I saw a good-looking, modest-appearing, well-dressed but frail Negro woman with a child in her arms attempt to board a street car. She was about to fall. The conductor started to help her then looked at the other passengers and desisted. His face was a study, prejudice won; but it was a pyrrhic victory. To prove a doctrine, he damned a man. My friends, there is something wrong with a code of ethics that makes its votaries feel it a humiliation to be kind to any sentient creature, much less a human being, however humble. Chromatopsia May Yet Wreck the 20th Century Civilization. Mr. James Bryce, English permanent member of The Hague Court, is right—"In a world already so full of strife and sorrow it is grievous to see added to the other fountains of bitterness a scorn of the stronger to the weak and a dread of the weak of the strong grounded on no antagonism of interests, for each needs the other, but solely on a difference in race and color." The persistent effort to treat all Negroes allike retards the healthful growth of class distinction among us and lessens the influence of the intelligent and virtuous over the ignorant and vicious. VI.—Business Intercourse Is Hampered and Friction Needlessly Engendered by a Racial Chauvinism That Leads Many White People to Disregard the Ordinary Amenities of Civilization in Their Dealings with Negroes. This is not in accordance with the ideals of ethics, nor the traditions and conduct of the great men of the South. The sun is not injured by shining upon the lowly, neither is politeness, degraded when extended to the humble. No man was ever lowered by kindness. Washington, Jefferson and Hayne might be summoned to testify, did time permit. White clerks object to Negro customers and white proprietors object to Negro stores. Interstate travel is a veritable nightmare—nothing to eat nowhere to sleep, imperfect toilet ac commodifications and a change of cars every few hours. PART THREE—THE REMEDY I.—Let Us Accept It as a Fact (Res Adjudicata) That the Negro and the White Must Survive or Perish Together in the South. "God, who is the great Choragus and Master of the scenes of life and death," has placed us on the stage together. Let us play our parts like men, neither crying like children nor fighting like dogs. II.—Let Us Encourage Inter-racial Cooperation on Matters Appertaining to the Common Good. May not the intelligent and conservative members of both races form a kind of clearing-house for the debts and credits of racial contact? A knowledge of a friend's virtues may give us patience with his vices. Mutual respect is a prerequisite to mutual fair-play. The problem can be solved better in detail. III—Let Us Find the Facts. This is an easy task. The races know so much about each other that is not so. The average individual "reasons but to err." Bacon describes four kinds of errors or false notions that seduce men's minds from the truth. Race adjustment in the South is hindered by all four forms; but what he calls idols of the market-place and the idols of the theatre are the most troublesome. The first are the loose inaccuracies of ordinary gossip—erroneous opinions that men communicate to each other in social and business intercourse. The second are the systematically taught tenets of false philosophies and unsound political creeds. IV.—If I Could Get the Ear of the Genius of American Press I Would Ask the Following Boon for America and the Negro. (a) Drop from the vocabulary all such words as nigger, darkey, Sambo, coon, etc. (b) Never mention the race of a criminal in connection with criminal news. u (c) Never report the speeches or sayings of race agitators, especially those seeking political preferment, or personal prominence. (d) Publish with full racial credit items creditable to the Negro. Five years of such conduct would see the end of the Negro Problem in America. V.—The American Negro Needs Sane, Conservative, Unselfish, Patient Negro Leadership. The greatest help that can be given the race is to assist in the development of these leaders. Wholesome Negro ideals must be created by men of Negro blood. These ideals may be assisted from without, but cannot be super-imposed. Masters may be allens, but leaders must be patriots. Leaders must know the people they lead. A race without leaders of its own blood is lost. No masterpiece was ever written in any language but the mother-tongue of the writer; and great leaders are always kindred of the led. Moses was a Jew, Cromwell was an Englishman, Lincoln was an American and Booker T. Washington is a Negro. Wholesome public opinion must arise from within, not be super-imposed from without. Enthusiasm abolitionists overestimated his immediate capabilities as a citizen, and the antagonistic standpatters underestimate his rights as a man. Neither was willing to let him evolve naturally. As a consequence he has frequently disappointed friends by inefficiency, and irritated enemies by imitation. What is the remedy? Let all the friends of humanity, white and black, bend every energy to increase the Negro's self-respect and patience. This will do more to stop the copying of your secret orders than all the injunctions and statutes you can invent. Encourage Negroes in the professions and business. It will help everybody. Public opinion is all powerful in this country—white people make that opinion. Let the opinion back the constructive, conservative workers among the Negroes, instead of exploiting "white hopes." Encourage the liberal and sane action of Nashville, Tenn., in employing Negro district nurses; and Fort Worth, Texas, and Clarksville, Tenn., in having Negro Assistant Health Officers to work among their own people and co-operate with the whites for the general good. See that separate laws are fairly enforced and equal accommodations given. Finally—The Effectiveness of Opposition to One's Progress in Inverse Ratio to One's Speed. A stone thrown at less than a mile a minute shadows a window pane against which it strikes—a pistol bullet at 40 to 50 miles a minute goes through with little disturbance, while light at a rate of twelve million miles a minute passes through with no perceptible disturbance whatever. A candle hurled with sufficient speed will pass uninjured through an oak plank. Apparently Insurmountable Opposition Often Indicates That We Have too Little Momentum—Are in Fact, Moving too Slowly. That is what is the matter with the country today. It has slackened its pace towards that ideal government which "derives its just powers from the consent of the governed." "A government of the people, by the people, and for the people," under which, any individual whatsoever, may have "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" unhindered and unhindering. "The lust of other things entering in, has choked the world." "For the love of money, we have denied the faith and pierced ourselves through with many sorrows," and "Man's inhumanity to man" has again postponed the day. "When truth and worth o'er a' the earth Shall bear the gree and a' that." "The real solution of the trust question, the race question and all the great problems of our government today is a re-dedication of the thought of the country to the ideals of justice and fair-play." If we set our eyes on justice for all men, the momentum of righteousness will overcome all obstacles, even the race question. Fresh Meats, Bacon and Lard Dressed Poultry, Butter & Eggs. J. J.
