ONE CENT BANK HANDLES OVER $900,000.00 STOCKHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS' MEETING--R. H. BOYD AND J. C. NAPIER RE-ELECTED--PRESTON TAYLOR CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE VOLUME XII. OPENING TWO NASHVILLE HOLD ME ONE CENT BANK HANK STOCKHOLDERS AND DIRECTOR AND J. C. NAPIER RE-ELE CHAIRMAN OF THE EX Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars was the clearance report at the annual stockholders, meeting of the One Cent Savings Bank which was held in the U. B. F. Hall last Monday night. The meeting was called to order by the President, R. H. Boyd, who stated that on account of a previous meeting advertised for the Y. M. C. A. in which all were interested, he would not deliver his annual address, but that it would be offered for publication later. Perhaps the largest amount of stock ever represented in the bank was present. There was no time lost and the stockholders got down to business. The report of the cashier showed that while the bank had not made any tremendous gains in the past year, that notwithstanding the financial stringency that had been felt throughout all sections, the Dow Jones Savings Bank had weathered the storm in this instance as in all former times during its fourteen years of existence. His address was received with utile interest by his hearers. At the conclusion of his report it was immediately adopted and ordered to be. The president then called on the chairman of the Executive Committee, the Rev Preston Taylor, who gave a brief report of the condition of the affairs of the bank, and urged upon not only the stockholders and directors but depositors to let other people know what they themselves have already found out, that it is a real solid banking institution. The re report of the Directors was made and then adopted. Upon the adoption of the report a dividend of 6 per cent was announced as a reccommendation coming from the directors, and checks were passed out to the stockholders, after which a Board of directors for the ensuing year was elected, which resulted in the following: Directors R. H. Boyd, Wm. Haynes, J. W. Grant, Evans Tyre, Preston Taylor, Joe Brown, Henry Allen Boyd, J. A. Napier, C. H. Clark, J. C. Napier, E. B. Jefferson, H. Bowling, G. W. Mckissack, I. B. Scott, C. V. Roman, C. A. Dickson, W. J. Hale, C. N. Langton. The assistant cashier, Mr. C. N. Langton, and the teller, Mr. Overton Carter, were called upon to make a few remarks, on the Christmas Savings Clubs as it became known that the bank had a larger Christmas Savings Club already this year than it had throughout the year 1916. Following this, the meeting adjourned and the directors were immediately called together. Upon their assembling they perfected an organization by the election of the following of officials of the bank for the ensuing year: President, R. H. Boyd. First Vice President, C. H. Clark Second Vice President, I. B. Scott Attorney, J. W. Grant. Cashier, J. C. Napier. Assistant Cashier, C. N. Langston. Teller, Overton Carter. Executive Committee, Preston Taylor, E. B.

Wallace, the East Tennessee representative of the Standard Life Insurance Company, who has been to his North Carolina home to spend the Christmas with his family, has returned to the state, but has not reached Nashville. He spent the first week in January in Bristol, where he addressed the Nerro Business League of the Twin Cities and wrote in four days ten thousand five hundred dollars worth of insurance. It was his high water mark thus far for four days. From there he went to Johnson City. The people of East Tennessee are being given an incite into the real Standard Life work. Dr. Wallace is expected in Nashville before the end of the month. SIXTEENTH GRAND CHILD.

("Bob") Boyd, Jr. Baby and mother are doing fine. Miss Louise V. Maves of 634 Fogg street left the city Tuesday evening for Chicago, where she will visit relatives and friends for a stay of five weeks. ```markdown ``` NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY--THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. People's Savings Bank Holds Meeting, Declares Dividend, Elects Officers—Reports Show Increase—President and Cashier Make Report. It is with pleasure I welcome you here this evening to the Eighth Annual Meeting of your Company. I feel it in place to tell you just why this Company was organized. When this bank was organized, some thought it was to destroy, tear down, or to put the old bank, the One Cent Savings Bank, out of business, but these ideas have long since gotten out of the minds of those who were of that opinion, and they see the truth as it was then, that this bank was organized to work side by side with the older bank, to help it, and to serve the people. "In the, Creation God created Adam, and He saw it was good, but He also saw that it was not good for him to be alone, so He made Eve to be with him. "Before the first Negro bank in Nashville was organized, a number of the leading men got together and decided that Nashville needed a Negro bank, and they went to work and organized what is known as the One Cent Savings Bank, and they saw that they had done a good thing, but as time went on, some of the same men who helped to organize the first bank saw that while they had done a good piece of work, they felt that it would be well to have another bank to help care for the needs of our people, and on July 31, 1909, the People's Savings Bank was opened for business. If opened with about $3,000.00, today its resources are more than the $71,758.00. "When the bank first opened the grease cry was 'Will our money be safe in that bank? Do they know how to do a safe business. "So safely and satisfactorily has the business been carried on by the officers of your Company, that the question of ability to do, or safety, is very seldom referred to. Examples of the Confidence Our People Are Having in Negro Banks "After the great East Nashville fire in 1916, which destroyed so much of the property of our people, when the insurance companies paid them their insurance money, they brought a good portion of it to this bank and deposited it here for safe keeping. In one day they brought more than $12,000.00 and deposited it here, one person depositing as much as $4,000 of his own. "On October 23rd, when the Directors decided to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the bank, and called on the friends to show their appreciation by making deposits on the occasion, at the close of the day we found the public had deposited during the day $11,057.00. Much of this money is still on deposit to this day. "Give you these examples to show you how the public is regarding this bank from a standpoint of safety. "So your officers have been, and are, working hard to prove to the public that Negroes can operate a bank with safety, and we believe the willingness to support such a bank, or any other enterprise operated by their people, if properly conducted." As a Commercial Educator. "This bank is doing more to educate our people along a commercial line than anything we have. We encourage small depositors, as well as the large ones, and thereby teach our boys and girls how to write checks, make deposits, draw promissory notes, and teaches them how to be punctual in paying or looking after their notes when due.

The "Rumpers" May Not; But The Incorporated Missionary and Educational Convention Does Not and Cannot Fifteen months have passed since the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention met at the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church and in the chapel of Roger Williams University with Rev. A. L. Bartlett as President and Dr. A. M. Townsend as Secretary. When a minority of that convention then in session undertook by gag rule to curtail the privileges and deny the rights of the majority of the delegates present, to rule $_{1}$ or even have a say in the meeting, notwithstanding we had paid the Enrollment Committee two hundred or more dollars as representation fee, which they kept, and after we had withdrawn they passed a resolution to refund our money, but until this good day, the Treasurer, Rev. E. M. Lawrence, has not been furnished with the recaptured funds which so suddenly took leave by the way of official orders. Therefore, we have not been able $_{1}$ to get our money on the strength of their own resolution nor with the aid of the courts. Among the most influential and conspicuous characters in carrying out this procedure were the Rev. Wm. Haynes, Chairman of the Trustee Board of the University; Rev. E. M. Lawrence, Trustee; Rev. D. Hurt, D. D., Trustee; Rev. A. L Bartlett, Trustee; Dr. A. M. Townsend, Trustee and President of the University, with Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, as Parliamentarian and Speaker of the house; and Brother T. G. Ewing as Legal Advisor. Thus it may be seen that the representatives of the educational interest in Roger Williams and the Jesuits had influence, were the predominant factors in setting this unChristian, unBaptistic and unwise precedent: "Voting churches out of a convention and keeping their money." This recapitulation is given in order that the reader may know why the investigation was made which brought about the discovery that ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY does not belong to the Negro Baptists of Tennessee. Now, let's see, for the benefit of Dr. Isaac and the Clarion, who argue to the contrary; it is true that the Negro Baptists of Tennessee did put into the hands of Rev. Wm. Haynes, the financial secretary of the convention, $5,000.00, with which to pay one-half of the ten thousand ($10,000.00) dollars, the purchase price of the twelve or more acres of land on which Roger Williams University now stands, but the court records show that the property was paid for with a $10,000.00 check of the Home Mission Society of New York and the deed was made by J. O. Kirkpatrick and Son to the Home Mission Society of New York—not to the Society and the Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, which would have been proper in order to recognize a joint purchase and ownership. In that case, the society being a corporation, might have $e$ held in trust the interest of the Negro Baptists. This they did according to the record; it $i$ their property, and the deed says so, because it was paid for with their check against their own account. Now while men live they may explain their actions, but when the court takes record, it is recognized as the truth and expressed will of the parties concerned. When I read that deed I felt myself getting cold as I realized the Negro Baptists were not on the inside as we supposed. Now, as to the transfer to Roger Williams. No on $e$ can transfer what they do not legally own—that part of the instrument which states, "The property hereafter described has been purchased by, the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, and the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, for the sum of ten thousand dollars; each of said organizations having paid one half or five thousand ($45,000) dollars, of the purchas $e$ price of said property." I say that the record of purchase don't show that, and this transfer instrument cannot take precedent, new change the original purchase and deed. In the deed of purchase the Negro Baptists have no interest. Therefore, they had nothing to transfer. We were entitled to something for we gave our money to be expended as the $e$ above instrument says it was spent, but the records say, NO. HERE WE HAVE A PARALLEL: The Convention appointed Drs Haynes, Hurt, Lawrence and others to go and get out a charter for the body so we could hold property as $e$ were to make this purchase They went, but did they get the charter? They said they did, and held up the papers and said, "Brethen, here is your charter." We all trusted their intelligence and veracity; but that was no charter, though we thought so until fifteen months ago. We searched the records and found that the brethren had received us, and caused us to deceive hundreds of the hard working men and women of this state, many of them widows, who out of their penury, gave to buy that ground—not to be given to Roger Williams, but in order that ROGER WILLIAMS might be given TO US, for all the Negroes who were born to him, believed that ROGER WILLIAMS had burned—they did not know that Roger Williams was a CORPORATION walking about in the persons of Drs Haynes, Lawrence, Hurt and others waiting for somebody to give it some ground and buildings. SOMEBODY KNEW then, and we know now, that whatever interest $w_0$ had or seemed to have was transferred to ROGER WILLIAMS, a corporation that never did own any ground—although it was incorporated by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York. The Society did not think enough of its own creature to make it trustee of one foot of ground, as was seen when the buildings burned. The property was sold to white people and in every deed the Home Mission Society has stipulated that the property be never to be sold to the property of the African descent. Read the following charter excerpt which was filed for record February 13, 1883. Daniel W. Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., John M. Gregory of Chicago, Ill., Wm. P. Jones, Nashville, Tenn., Nelson G. Merry, Nashville, Tenn., Randall B. Vandabell, Nashville, Tenn., ar. hereby constituted a body politic and corporate by the name and style of ROGER WILLJAMS UNIVERSITY for the support of an institution of Christian education and learning on a grade of an university with such colleges, schools and departments as the TRUSTEES of said university may deem proper and necessary, to give instruction in the several branches of science, art, in the Bible and theology and in normal and other professional and industrial studies with power to confer de- grees. The principal seat of such institution to be on the grounds new owned by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York and occupied by the Nashville Institute in the county of Davidson in the state of Tennessee. DANIEL W. PHILLIPS. JOHN M. GREGORY. JABES P. DAKE. W. P. JONES. NELSON G. MERRY. R. B. VANDABELL. STATE OF TENNESSEE DAVIDSON COUNTY Personally appeared before me, C. H. Eastman, Clerk of the county court of said county, the within named Daniel W. Phillips, John M. Gregory, Jakes P. Dake, W. P. Jones, Nelson G. Merry, R. B. Vandabell the bargainers, with whom I am personally acquainted, and each acknowledged that they executed the within instrument for the purposes therein contained. WITNESSED my hand at the office this, the 13th day of February, 1883. C. H. EASTMAN, Clerk. DAVIDSON COUNTY Register's Office. Feb. 12, 1883. I. James L. Hogan, deputy Register of said county, do certify that the foregoing instrument and certificate are registered in said office in Book No. 76, page 10, that they were re- ceived on Feb. 12, 1883 at 3:25 o'clock. p, m, and were entered in Note Book No. 8 page 47. JAMES L. HOGAN, Deputy Register. STATE OF TENNESSEE DAVIDSON COUNTY I. D. A. Nunn, Secretary of State of Tennessee, certify that this charter with certificate attached, the foregoing of which is a true copy, was this day registered and certified to by me, this Feb. 13th, 1883. Thus it can be seen that Roger Williams was incorporated 26 years before it owned anything. It is 34 years old. We hold the Home Mis ision Society, if they were acting as agents for the Negro Baptists of Tennessee, when they made this transfer to Roger Williams, they should have and would have made the stipulation read, "that in case the property ceased to be used for school purposes, an interest shall revert back to the Society and an interest revert back to the Missionary and Educational Convention in proportion to the amount that each have paid," but no such provision is made. Not one word is said many, an interest, except that of the Home Mission Society. If it is argued that they did not have that right, then they did not have the right to transfer any but their own interest. This they should have done. Interest of All the Baptists. We are not contending for the rights of the Missionary Baptist Convention only, nor those of the Incorporated Missionary and Educational Convention, for this last named convention was just born on the 30th day of May, 1916, at 4:45 p. m. The above being true this body as a convention has no interest in, and so has no legal right to engage in the management of the University. But the Negro Baptists of the state gave the money to buy that property when we were together in one convention. Therefore, we are contending for the rights and ownership of all the Baptists. When, and where was held, in what city or town, with what church, in what book of State minutes can we find any resolution or motion where the convention voted to give their interest in this property to ROGER WILLIAMS? We thank any one who can furnish us with the information, Nav, we all thought and proclaimed that ROGER WILLIAMS was to be turned over to us, but also! instead we have been turned over to ROGER WILLIAMS. —and who is Roger Williams? (a) It is a corporation whose chair was granted by the $e$ state 33 years ago to be operated on the "grounds owned by the American Baptist Home Mission Society." (b) It was chartered to engage in Christian education; therefore, to restrict their work to the education of Negroes and exclude all other race is in violation of its charter rights. (c) The charter makes it the duty of the Trustees to elect their own officers, and they can only increase the number of Trustees to ten. (d) THE TRUSTEES THEMSELVES must elect any Trustees, but not to exceed ten—this power, it delegated to any convention or body of persons, is a violation of the law and the law reads, "A violation of any of the provisions of this charter shall subject the corporation to dissolution at the instance of the State." STANDARD LODGE NO. 209. K. of P. The members of Standard Lodge No. 209, K of P, East Nashville, met Tuesday night, January 9, 1917, in a regular monthly meeting.

DAVIS BROTHERS BAND FURNISHED MUSIC FOR THE OC CASION--NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CASH AND SUBSCRIPTIONS REPORTED. Two thousand men and boys made up the magnificent audience that completely filled to overflowing the spacious auditorium in the new Y. M. C. A. Building on Monday night. Many of the oldest citizens of Nashville state that they have never seen so enthusiastic a gathering where all seemed to be of one mind and in accord with the same idea as was demonstrated on that occasion. Every church, every fraternity organization, every society, in fact, practically every family in Nashville in so far as Negroes are concerned, was about represented at the meeting. From the time the meeting was called to order by the chairman, and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Mitchell, big things were doing. The opening remarks by the chairman, who took the subject, "Now You Have It, What are You Going to Do With It?" in which he gave a graphic description of the size of the building giving its dimensions offhandedly, giving its height telling the number of roots and then producing from the inventory a total of the furniture and trusses contained therein. When he called upon his hearsay to join in one solid phalanx of workers and in redeem their pledges, was the key note of the evening, and the moth moth assemblage was not slow in keeping up the enthusiasm that had been injected into the meeting. The first ball to Dr. J. C. Caldwell, started the ball to rolling when he put his pledge made for $0.00 redeeming his pledge made during the recent campaign when thirty-three thousand dollars were subscribed for a Y. M. C. A. Building. They came after with their nickles, dimes, quarters dollars, fives, ten, fiftees, quarters and reds. They final reached the thoughe and the dollar mark. Throughout the evening the Davis Military Band that had volunteered their services, kept up inspiring music, "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "America" and many other patriotic airs were played throughout the evening to add more ginger to the occasion. There were present Mr. Arch Trawick, the chairman of the Committee on Colored Work, from the Central Association, Dr. W. J. O. Callahan, a member of the Committee and Mr. S. W. McGill, the secretary. These three white visitors were called upon and gave much encouragement. All three made telling speeches, declaring in substance that they did not come to assure the Negroes or to encourage them on what they should do, but that they were rather there to assure them that the good white people of Nashville were going to do the right thing. The Committee of Management, the Advisory Board and the Y. M. C. A sympathizers were or hand and worked as never before. During the course of the evening more than five thou- s and six hundred dollars were turned in in cash and subscriptions. There were no lengthy speeches, the men usually allowed their talk to be made by putting down the money on the table. It kept Secretary Sanders Prof. Hardeman, Dr. Phillips and Mr. S. H. Johnson busy writing receipts while the Stockell Brothers and a number of the other enthusiastic younger workers bushied them in passing the receipts out and in bringing in the checks. The photographer madd a flash light picture, but it was after eleven o'clock before the picture was made and the cram and jam that was evi- dent in the first part of the evening had subsided. It was announced that plans were being made for a mama moth demonstration meeting, at which ladies would be invited, to be held at Ryman Auditorium on the second Sunday in February. A cash campaign is to be under way early next week. The committee is to hold a meeting after the religious services at their headquarters on Sunday after noon.

AN AUTHORIZED INVESTMENT. This letter goes forth to say to the Baptists throughout the country that for some time the nation has been in the clutches of high prices, and every article of use has come in for its toll and share of monetary profits. As a result, many heretofore profitable enterprises have gone to the wall, or ceased operation; and today the publishers of this country are in a life and death struggle with the government and paper manufacturers' interests. The National Baptist Publishing Board repeatedly complained that a retrenchment would be made by compulsio which would impair the use of the plant unless they could fin; relief through the Advisory Board, and pursuant to a request of the Publishing Board the National Baptist Advisory Publishing Board met and after hearing the plea and examining the data before us, we consented to a small increase in the price of literature, although the increase of half a cent is small, it will give such substantial assistance and relief to our own publishing interest. We should regard the act as an investment. Our Publishing Plant through the dissemination of knowledge, has wielded a mighty sword and is fighting a great battle in the arena of thought, where the universal conflict of the nations will go on until the Lord comes again. So, let us work, pray and pay, that the good work may go on. Inasmuch as the Publishing Board did not assume to thrust upon us the advance price of periodicals, but has suffered materially in waiting for our approval, we wish to have you note that the Publishing Board recognizes the ownership of the eBaptists and the relation the Board sustains to the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated). May we therefore, suggest that we send in more orders ad larger ones. Yours for the extension of the Kingdom of Christ. National Baptist Advisory Publishing Board. Rev. H. M. Burns, Chairman, Rev. J.

Was Suffering With Lung Trouble and Hemorrhages HE IS NOW WORKING Says Lung-Vita is Worth Its Weight in Gold In a letter from Mr. Leslie Allen, a prominent man of Route 6, Franklin, Tenn., he had the following to say about his experience with Lung-Vita: "I have been using Lung-Vita for a lung trouble and it has done the work for me. I was having hemorrhages before I began taking the medicine and was in a very bad condition. When I started the treatment my hemorrhages stopped at once and I am sure that Lung-Vita saved my life. I am now working and am feeling good. I believe that Lung-Vita is worth its weight in gold to anyone suffering as I was, and I shall be glad to talk with anybody who is suffering with lung trouble." Lung-Vita is sold by all druggists and dealers. Thirty-day treatment, $4.75; fifteen-day treatment, $1.—(Adv.)

Just a little over fifty years ago, the imperial Lincoln gave to the world in living letters of blood and fire, his famous Emancipation Proclamation which resulted in the freedom of four million Negro slaves. When the imperial Emperor crossed the widening of the predecanous power of Rome, who sat upon her seven Palatine hills, which ruled the world. Palatine hills, wielding the flaming sceptre which ruled the world. Freedom from her mountain height "unfurled her banners to the air" it entant that the widening of human freedom, the chance for actual proof of manhood, the opportunity to stamp its name in lasting imprint upon the tablet of time by noble deeds, lofty thoughts, high ideals, and magnanimity of character, for a race of people who for over two hundred years had moaned, and who had groomed with the cross of slavery pressing upon their agonized brow. The commemoration of that blessed day—when the ages upon their swerving reverenced the Joy of the world, and away down the vista of time unborn generations yet lasiping in the bosom of time rejoiced. The The Emancipation day was fittedly carried out at Roger Williams University Monday, at 3 o'clock. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., pastor of First Baptist Church, 8th Avenue, N., was the pleasing speaker of the occasion. Profound in thought, elegant in style, the art and skill of the great Athenian could not have gone further toward peasing his hearers. His subject was, "The Unfinished Task of Lincoln." Among the things said was, "That so long as there are Jim-Crow laws, so long as there is segregation, so long as that damnable fire of prejudice burns upon the altar of men's hearts; so long will the work of that famous emancipator be unfinished." Dr. Gilbert reminded his audience that ever since the dawn of civilization, that ever since Linda O'Dwyer old was, that she filled realism of those Elysian heights, there have always been problems to be solved. Dr. Gilbert said: "The problem to be solved by the Negro are those of overty, character, reputation and religion." And by acquiring these we will, before many moons take our air in the galaxy of great races that bedeked the earth. Never to better advantage did the seaker near than he did when he said "That the young man living in this age who Rescue and defend his ladies as the foundation upon which a race must be built is lit only for stratagem and spoils." A rapid review of the Nero's past trials, and present opportunities together with causes of Negro criminality, were given special stress. The Vulcan's hammer was the seaker's weapon, and pure reason the arm that wielded it. The student body was highly favored by a visit of Prof. Jeffries two brothers. Dr. Blyth graduates of Roger Williams and are young men to whom the president delights to point to and say that, "their lives are so gentle and the leements in them so mixed that all nature might stand up and say to the world and say "they were men." The popularity of Miss Baytop as a teacher and a friend to the students was evidenced by the many tokens received Christmas morning. The rhetoricals of the school are far more pleasing than of former years, which shows the improvement of the school. Much is due to the mastery training in composition and delivery given by Miss Baytop. President Townsend spent the holidays resting from strenuous Star Theatre..

C., the Independent and the Constitution of Atlanta, the Age and the Independent of New York, were requested to publish verbatim, to write: Whereas, The return of many thousands of foreign laborers from the Nort. East and Western States to fight in the European War has drawn so heavily upon the labor markets of the states until it has caused an unprecedented demand upon Negro laborers of the South to fill the places of these foreigners in the North. at a much higher wage scale than those paid Negro labor by Southern employers, which has caused a very large immigration of Negroes to the North, where not only better wages are assured, but better educational facilities, moral, social and political conditions are also assumed, and threaten of Negro labor northward has become alarming in some sections of the South, where already a scarcity of laborers is manifest, and labor conditions are growing worse; and Whereas, Instead of the Southern newspapers dealing frankly, truthfully and fairly with this perplexing question, many of them are resorting to misrepresentation, abuse and villainy, thus making the rent worse; and Whereas, it is an undeniable fact that the Negro is constantly legislated against, segregated even in government works, Jim Crowed and abused on public carriers, refused decent service and proper accommodations accorded the Turke, Mexicans, Hindoos, Filipinos, Hawaiians and all other foreign nationalities of Europe Asia and the isles of the sea, for the same fares paid. In many dis tricts no public schools are furnished Negroes for their children, and in many other districts only three to five months are given with inferior and in competent young girls as teachers. It is also an undeniable fact that Negroes are often flayed, burned at the stake and lynched upon the slight est provocation, without even a pretense of a trial, and oftentimes after the death of the victim it is proven without a doubt that the wrong and an innocent Negro has been lynched. Even in some instances railroads have furnished special trains to carry spectators and souvenir-hunters to the place of lynching to view the wreaking wretch, with reduced rates. This diabolical condition winked at by governors, sheriffs, marshals, legislatures and souvenir-hunters, highstands have become almost unbearable, and although the South is the dearest spot, in earth to the great majority of Negroes they have about decided that it is better to migrate anywhere or to any place where he or she can at least feel safe in protecting himself and family, else out a living honestly and NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1917. receive humane treatment from those who have authority and ruling power. Therefore be it Resolved by a mass meeting of many hundred colored people assembled. That we do most humely yet earnestly appeal to the properly constituted authorities, the employers of Negro labor and to the Southern press and all public carriers, to give the Negro a square deal, to treat him fairly and humanely, furnish him proper and equal accommodations in all public places and on all public carriers, furnish him adequate and proper facilities to educate his children, with proper and qualified teachers, give him a fair and impartial hearing at the bar of public opinion, pass judgment upon him only after he is proven guilty by an unbiased court and jury. Resolved, further. That if these just and reasonable demands are fairly and justly met, we pledge our influence and our time in every possible way to turn the tide and stem the flood of Negro immigration northward THE NEW YEAR OPENING OF HOWE, INSTITUTE The New Year opening of Howe Institute January 2, 1917, was marked with a full return of the old students, and also quite a number of new students were enrolled.

In reviewing our past year's work and seeing how much we have accomplished, how many souls we have been the means of bringing to Christ; how many have been added to the church; how, without any strenuous efforts on our part, we greet the New Year without standing debts, we indeed are thankful and bow our heads in humble sub mission and loving gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His many blessings. Each organization of the church has worked earnestly and faithfully the past year and great success has been their reward. The B. Y. P. U. is making good with Miss Mary Rutledge as president; Miss Betta' Simmons as teacher, Miss Lloyd Priest and Miss Mildred Reames as officers are to be commended for their zeal in trying to build up something that will be a monument for the church and common work. The Reames Auxiliary has don'g great mission in the past year 'And the Chairmen of the former circles have pledged themselves to raise the standard higher this ensuing year. Mrs. Mary Priest as chairman of the Rescue Band, has gladdened many a sad heart in 1916, the imposed on her. She lets nothing when notified, and never goes with an empty hand. The Pastor's Aid with Mrs. Fannie Mann as chairman, makes an asset in the church. They are making good reports. The Sunday school had its annual Christmas exercises and Christmas tree Tuesday, December 26. The exercises were grand, more than fifty children taking part. One of the greatest hits were the little Busy Bees not more than six years of age, repeating by memory the 23rd Palm. After the exercises were over the Ladies' Auxiliary, represented by Mrs. Nannie Martin, presented Mrs. H. M. Burns a china dinner set, consisting of one hundred pieces, as a gift of appreciation. Rev. M. Burns was a Christmas tree, containing fifty six dollars, presented by the Sunday school, members and families of the church. Sunday night we held our usual Watch Meeting services. The church was filled to its utmost capacity. Rev. Burns made a short spiritual talk. The last few minutes of the old year were spent by the members in prayer, with the entire congregation kneeling.

The meeting was opened with devotional exercise with the president in the chair. On account of the weather only a few members were present By Prof. A. R. Reeves Development means an unrolling, an unfolding, bringing out of an imminent life or nation all of its capabilities. It is the leading forth of the latent faculties to the point of great fruition, and the development on eccentricities into symmetry. When Michael Angelo fashioned uncomely stone into a beautiful stature, he is said to have developed an idea. When Raphael frescoed upon the blank canvass the picture that starled the artistic world, he is said to have developed an idea; when a tiny seed falls, germinates and matures with all of its splendor, it is said to be developed; so it is with man: when the great hall of evolution shall have been unwounded and he has become all that is possible for him to become what the main-spring of the activities shall have been cultivated and quickened by the power of discipline, he is said to be We are here tonight to consider development; generally speaking, EDUCATIONAL, specifically, INTELLECTUAL; and the only apology I make in doing so is, that it seems to me to be homogeneous with nature and in accord with God. When the Creater stood on the verge of the Creative Week, sent forth his eternal fat and time began to move, until now, the simple has been tending toward the complex; before the hills in order stood or the earth received her form, or the bending arch and the listening universe became responsive to the mystic touch of Almighty God, before the common enmey of us all had walked majestically as king of the universe and kissed the eyelids still of the first patient; even before the similitude of silence was disturbed; I believe it was then in the mind of His Maker, that man should go forth, multiply, subdue and conquer; and to die not having done this, is to die in debt to both humanity and to God. Each one present responded with Bible quotations and dues. After the business of the club, the president desired that each Tuesday night before the first Sunday that we would have consecration meeting. This being consecration meeting each member was ready and willing to talk about the good deeds our Heavenly Father had done for them. Those present: Mrs. Bettie Carter, Mrs. Stephen, Mrs. Amos Gray, Miss Beatrice and Sadie Dunlap, Sergt. T. C. Brown, Miss E. T. Dunlap, Mrs. Laura Lewis Turner. The club was pleased to have the following guest: Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Summerfield Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Rainey, Mrs. Parker. After the business the hostess invited us into the beautiful dining room where a two course menu was served. Bishop Evans Tyree will lecture at the church under the auspices of the St. Paul Hustlers, Monday night, Jan. 8, 1917, at 8 p.m. All friends are cordially invited to be present. No admission.

All members and friends please be present. a physician to practice in many of our homes and it is because that we are steeped in ignorance, and are in need of educational development. Have you ever had a business transaction with an ignorant person? If you have you have discovered this fact: he thinks that you are always trying to beat him. You may jean toward him, give him the beneft of all the doubts and throw the odd cents to his side of the ledger, but since you have kept a tabulated account of the transaction, he thinks there is something radically wrong with your figures and publishes you to the world as a cheat, a dead-beat and a defrauder. Tran this mind and he will see things differently; educate him and he will be able to meet you halfway in every business transaction. In short, he will be prepared in every controversy and instead of throwing up a carb of slander for a defence he will argue his case; and if you should come to the parting of the ways with him, he will stand up like a man and the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, even though it be against him. I admit that there are money sharks, who like Sylock of old will press a customer for the pound of flesh just over the heart; but if your horizon is broadened, your vision clear and your mind analytical, you can show them that while the contract calls for the pound of bess not one drop of blood shall be contained in your life endangered in challenger it. We are often imposed upon because we do not know how to protect ourselves. There are designing agents who come to our homes and with oily words induce us to take their goods; present an elastic contract which any one, seemingly, could meet. After we have started with them they usually tighten down and when we have almost paid out, if we fail to meet one payment, they back up to our doors, take the goods away only to be sold to another. If we were properly educated we would demand legal procedure before the goods were moved. When we show our creditors this, we have with than to dispose. Some of us have already paid for things ten times over and do not now possess them, and it is because of the wicked, pernicious system I have been discussing above, because we have not the mental the failure of all our institutions. We need educational development that we may become acquainted with the laws of commerce and great business methods. I know that there are those who say that the failure of all our institutions was brought about by our educated men. I want to emphatically deny this assertion. It may have come about through the so-called educated. They did not fail because of education, but because of the lack of it. They failed because in charge did not have enough intellect to run them; or those who put them in charge were careless in their selection; or negligent in binding them. We are an emotional people and are too accustomed to our feelings, our likes and dislikes. Our preacher a good salary "if he preaches until we can feel him" and makes us feel good before collection. We join a project if we like those in it or if we feel right about it. We should learn to put business into whatever we do and not our petty whims. When a man is anxious for a responsible position, and more anxious that we should not bind him but trust his honor, we should scrutinize him all the more carefully and bind him all the more tightly, for the one who wants to do right does not hate to be bound. There is need of educational development to reduce the death rate of our people. We are dying faster than we should according to statistics; and dying faster than we are being born in many places. It does not take the eye of a philosopher to see the inevitable results of this continues. When we purchase homes we do not first study the topography of the place. Too often we build our houses at the ends of sewers which belch forth death and destruction into our doors. Too often we squat in basins and become the constant boon companions of the lurking deadly misma in these valleys of death; too often we build our houses much too small for our families and generate venom which preys on our vitals; too often our fathers go to market get culled and purified meat and fume and freaten and even fight if their wives and daughters do not "Segregation and Jim Crowism Bars Jesus in America" 'Yes, Jesus Was a Negro by Blood" When He comes to judge the world His hair will be woolly and not straight.

Too often fathers who select good food have to bring it to cooks who do not know what ingredients to put into it; and never in their long years of experience put an ounce of brain in all of their cooking. Do you know friends that bad blood, made from good food poorly prepared, or poor food well prepared—that is to say prepared as well as it can be—makes a bad disposition; a bad disposition begets bad order; a bad order brings about confusion in the home? Did you ever stop to think of the vast number of boys and girls who are away from home tonight because of the $_{\text{e}}$ confusion therein? Go to the dives and dives, go to the houses of disrepute and ill-famed and look therein, and you will hardly believe your own eyes.

Wanted Agents to handle: Rankins' Hair Grower Rankins' Beauty Cream Rankins' Skin Bleach There is always need of educational development among us that we may have some—thing ennobling and elevating to think on, and talk about. Have you noticed that the most of our conversations are about the common flipancy of everyday gissip; that our daily theme consists of distorted facts and misrepresentations of our neighbors? You can hardly go visiting but that ten thousand eyes are eager to magnify some supposed fault and ten thousand slanderous tongues ar_e ready to catch some unfavorable whisper detrimental to the virtuous character of innocent beings. A frivolous mind gave birth to a more frivolous thought. Give one something in blime to think on and he grows more lofty. Give another something have read, full when they come in contact one with another instead of "discussing" "love and lasses" they will talk about things that make for true manhood and pure womanhood; they will give the wheel of progress another move onward, instead of desigating on forms and fashions they will talk about Euclid, Homer, Newton and L'Overture; instead of following in the weatherbeaten paths of crime they will seek the footprints of the lawy Nazarene and the man of Galle. Give me the man and the woman, the race and the nation who feed upon high thoughts and who are not passion's slave and as Shakespeare says I will wear them in my heart's core yes, in my heart of hearts. MME. O. J. RANKIN 360 N. 27th Street E. ST. LOUIS, ILL. When our minds have been developed we can appreciate good literature. The trivial and the trifle will have no attraction for us, Good books will become our companions and we shall hear the voices of the distant and the dead; we shall receive the heritage of all the ages and noble thoughts will spring from our minds in full panoply as did Athena from the head of Jupiter at the stroke of Vulcan's hammer. We want to see men write the history of our achievements in the Revolutionary, Mexican, Civil Spanish American wars; we want poets to tell how our souls burst into song as we perform unrequited toil for two hundred and fifty years. When our fathers and mothers learn to tell their prattling babes, while playing upon their bouncing knees stories produced by Negro brain; when they learn to tell them of the black heroes at Fort Wagner, Fort Pillow. And finally, we need intellectual them in their arms let their vesperal bullies be the Negro bard; then and not till then, there will spring up an inexplicable race pride that will make the blinded eyes of justice shed tears of pity. intellectual let the her Negro hard there will race pride dyes of y. Intellectual he keenness over. Mind SHOULD HAVE A Baptismal Garment And finally we need intellectual development because of the keenness of competition the world over. Mind and not muscle is doing the world's work today. One intelligent man with the necessary machinery is doing more than fifty men used to do. No one wants the old-fashioned, rough home-made article when he can get a better and cheaper made one; and since the ingenuity of man is contriving a cheaper way of doing things, our progeny will be stultified and out of demand when the big business of the world calls for operators. Address all Communications to National Baptist Publishing Board The emancipation address delivered by his Honor, Attorney Archie V. Jones at the First Baptist Church, on New Year's Day was a gem for thought, diction and delivery. Attorney Jones acquitted himself in a way that would have done credit to the most erudite audience. The audience that heard him was both appreciative and large. The oration of Prof. W. Welch delivered by Prof. W. H. H. Riley was also a masterpiece. Prof. Riley, who is the leading stenographer in our community acquitted itself with very great credit. It is to be hoped that the spirit created by these two noble addresses will disseminate itself throughout our entire race. These young men are to be especially complimented for the services that they rendered to the public upon that occasion, for indeed, their deeds were in our judgment public benefaction for no person can produce and give to the public great thought without ```markdown ``` [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] —The People's Defender 7 or Phone Douglass 1569 Rolleves GATARRH of the BLADDER and all Discharges in 24 HOURS Each舱内 bears the Icehouse of countryside.
