Nashville Globe

The Sunday School Congress Meets In Nashville June 13 to 18, 1917 NASHVILLE GLOBE. THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS RALLY VOLUME XII. The Committee of Chancellor Commanders, Worthy, Counselors and Matrons is putting forth much effort to make the rally a big success. The interest of the courts and lodges has been aroused, and every Chancellor Commander in the city is anxious that this one big effort succeeds. Every lodge and every court, together with the juveniles will take good in the rally. Every knight in good standing will give one dollar on the day of the rally. Many of the Chancellor Commanders have already started to collect that dollar from their members. The ladies are going to donate liberally, as they always do in such cases. RYMAN AUDITORIUM THE PLACE The meeting will be held in the Ryman Auditorium. Gen. Preston Taylor succeeded in securing that splendid building for Sunday, April 29th. The decoration committee is at work on plans for beautifying the stage. Mrs. S. J. Nesbitt, Mrs. Kate Wilson, Mrs. Steve Turner and Mrs. Bliza Saunders are particularly active in this work. The music is to be a tribute to S. S. S. Caruthers, the chairman, is being supported by such eminent musicians as Prof. J. W. Work and Prof. N. Ryder and Mr. T. Clay Moore. All the choirs of the city will be invited to take part in the singing. More than a hundred voices will be on hand. The Meharry Symphony Orchestra has been invited to take part in the service. The chairman of the Arrangement Committee, Hon. A. N. Johnson, made a most excellent report. The report dealt with every important detail of the work, even to the assembling of the lodges for the purpose of going in a body to the Auditorium. The military department of the order will lead the membership from the Pythian Temple to the Auditorium. The famous Volunteer Company No. 5, the inners of the first prize at the recent encampment in Greenwood Park, will be in line as well as that excellent organization on the East Side, 20th Century Company. Col. H. A. Boyd, Col. Chas, Vaughn and Maj. George Hall are expected to be on hand. The meeting has every reason to be a success. In the first place Tennessee needs a Pythian Temple. Our idea of Pythian Progress is such that an up-to-date home for Pythians in Tennessee is mandatory. Kentucky with a membership of only 4,000 has erected a magnificent structure in the city of Louisville at a cost of $127,000. The Grand Domain of Indiana has placed in the city of Indianapolis a handsome $75,000 structure. This state has a membership of less than 5,000. Alabama recently bought the Penny Savings Bank in Birmingham for $75,000 with a membership of 8,000. Louisiana has a membership of 8,000 and has erected a Temple at the cost of $215,000. This is the most costly and it is practically paid for. The "Lone Star State," Texas, with a membership of 10,000, as a Temple costing $165,000. Missouri has a $75,000 structure. The Supreme Lodge has paid $30,000 for ground Chicago, upon which a $500,000 Temple is to be erected. In Hot Springs, Ark., the Supreme Lodge has erected a most excellent bath house for $22,000. At this sanitarium any member of the order may be treated at greatly reduced rates. It is a source of great satisfaction to note the pride that the Pythians of Tennessee are taking in their Temple project. Their slogan seems to be, "Let us pay for the building." Through every crisis of the order the men from Carter to Shelby have never been found wanting when the real test came. On the fifth Sunday in April throughout the grand domain of Tennessee a simultaneous rally will be staged that will bring new laurels to our beloved order. The museum is at white heat from British Memphis. Lodges are vying with lodges to make the best reports. The curtains are anxious to be of as much service as possible in this gigantic effort and the juveniles, under the direction of Mrs. Kelson and such efficient matrons as Mrs. Fannie Freeman and Mrs. Carey, are being trained in Pythian patriotism and will take an active part in the great rally. DR. R. H. BOYD'S ADDRESS. Delivered Before the Lane College Farmers' Conference at Jackson, Tenn., Feb. 22, 1917. Dr. Boyd said in part: "Ladies and Gentlemen." "I am informed that it is expected that my mission here is to talk to farmers on some subject of agriculture, horticulture, etc. We are not only living in a great age, but we are living in a great country formed by the hand of an All-wise Architect who looked well into the interest of the creatures that He expected to inhabit it. One of the oft-repeated theories concerning the organic matter of our earth is that at a remote period all the matter of which the earth consists at present was a part of the incoincident gases which fill the space now assigned to our solar system; it would be out of place here for me to attempt to display my ignorance by leading to tell you something of its composition it is enough to say, for agricultural purposes this soil consists of more than decayed matter. By the decaying of organic matter there is introduced into the soil the elements of NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY---THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. humus, which is one of the principal characteristics from an agricultural view. The soil is filled with millions of organisms of a low form. Without these activities the growing of crops would be impossible. Our soil therefore not only contains mineral matters which are necessary to sustain the life of plants, but also those organic elements without which these mineral matters would not be available to plant growth. There are three principal mineral foods for plant. They are potash, phosphate, acid nitrogen. There are many others, such as lime, magnesia, iron and many other substances which are found in plants, but these are not absolutely essential to plant growth. I suppose it is a fact well known to most farmers that if either nitrogen, potash or phosphate acids be entirely removed from the environment it is impossible to produce a natural plant. The soil is regarded as that part of plant which furnishes the mechanical support for the growing plant, supplying it with the mineral foods essential to its growth and maturity, and favors the best conditions which enable plant cells to elaborate the organic matter of which the maturity plant is chiefly composed. Our own great and well-beloved country, practically recently discovered and just being developed, is to my way of thinking, the Eden of God's creation for the United States, and including our new possessions, represents every variety of soil and character of climate to be found in all the universe. Yes, within the borders of the United States are grown every agricultural crop known to the world. It produces an immense quantity of cereals and fiber plants, especially such as cotton, flax, sugar-producing plants including sugar cane, sugar beets, sorghum, maple trees, vegetable and fruit plants almost without number. Were it not for preventing tiring your patience with dry figures from statistics gathered by the United States, should be glad to give you some ideas in figures of the acreage, quantity and value of the agricultural product of the United States in the last few years. The one product that is universal in the United States is Indian corn, which is produced in abundance by every state in the Union except Nevada. The total acreage of Indian corn under cultivation in the United States in 1904 was 92,231,581 acres, which produced that year 2,487,488,934 bushels, and the wholesale market price that year was 44c per bushel, yielding us in cash more than a billion dollars, but this is only one of our products of cereals. Besides this, we have wheat oats, barley, rice, buckwheat and a number of others too numerous here to mention. When we think upon the great production of cereals, which is the food life of both man and beast, we the proud sons of an agricultural country cannot help but look up to our Heavenly Father and express thanks for the great wealth-giving land upon which we live. We feel like repeating the often sung humm- "My Father is rich in houses and land, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands." And We not only holds it in his hands, but He is ready and willing to give it out to the sons of toil if they will only stretch forth their hands and receive it, obeying his well-regulated and scientifically constituted laws for production. There is one great question which constantly, presents itself to the inquiring minds of the political economists, viz. "Is the rate of increase in population to be diminished; or if continued, will the food supply be exhausted in the near or remote future? Now, for an answer to these political economists we must consult scientific agriculture and apply the principles of agricultural of science in the true principles of fertilization of annual increasing the average products of the old farm land of the country, the principles of cattle feeding, the proper utilizing of farm products. With these properly applied, we have no reason to think that the average acreage in the United States would not increase the products sufficiently to keep pace with the increased population. For instance, if our scientific agricultural fertilizers would only increase the product of our Indian corn just one bushel per acre, the increase would be more than 92,000,000 bushels annually. It was formerly fixed in my mind as you living in the Southern agricultural part of this country, to speak to you more particularly about that wealth-giving product or fiber known as cotton, which is today by its increasing demands and wealth-producing properties throughout the entire civilized world, calculated to make the citizens of the South, the sons of toil, the most wealthy and independent people upon the face of God's creation. Cotton is today the most important agricultural product the world, and the United States and the South, if you please, supply it in much greater quantities than any other country in all the civilized world. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1917. of America and landed in the West Indies. Cortez found it in Mexico, other discoverers found it in Peru, Brazil, which they invaded South America, but it is not used in North America until the European emigrants began to colonize in American, and then it was cultivated very small quantities as yard and garden flowers, and afterwards very small patches were cultivated for home consumption, such as the house wife might with her fingers clean the lint from the seed and by hand cord and twist it into thread. It began to be shipped to England early in the seventeenth century in very small quantities. The New England people built the first cotton mill in 1788 in the state of Massachusetts, but if you will allow me to digress just a little, cotton, more than any other product, I believe, was the instrument in increasing slavery in the United States; hence, that course that enslaved or increased the envestment of the Africans in the Southern part of the United States dated from the period of 1793 when Ell Whitney produced and patented the first cotton gin, showing that that date African slavery began in 1793 more than ten million pounds of cotton was produced in the South. This rapid increase, which caused a rapid importation of African slaves, as they seem to be best adapted to the cultivation of this plant in warm climates, and as this was a staple particularly adapted in the South, the slaves were brought Southward. In 1801 South Carolina led all the Southern states in the production of cotton. In 1850 Alabama took the lead. Mississippi led from 1860 to 1880. Texas stood in the lead in 1890. Of course South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas became the principle cotton states. Tennessee and Oklahoma came in for a share, hence, as I am speaking to you today as Tennessee farmers, I desire to say to you what the captain said to a stranded vessel in the mouth of the Amazon river where all on board were perishing for water, he signalled them, "Let down your buckets where you are." I would like to say to the farmers of West Tennessee, "Let down your buckets where you are and produce this wealth-giving fiber in your quantities." The soil of West Tennessee, if properly handled, stands ready to produce this fiber in such quantities as will fully repay and make its owners wealthy. Looking back just a little, cotton was not the paying product that the South hoped or expected during the days of slavery, but this was not the fault of the soil, the fiber, nor the slaves. Bad management must bear the blame. Warm climate produces laziness with the master, therefore, he turned over the entire management of his farm to the superintendent and the overseer. These men in many instances were ignorant, dishonest and lazy. The slave, a slave, had no interest in the output of the product and knew nothing of its wealth-producing facilities. At the outbreak of the civil war in 1860 England was almost wholly dependent upon the few Southern slave cotton states for its industry. During this famine cotton rose in England as an almost prohibited price as common thing for American cotton to be grown to be as high as $1.50 per pound, and to sell elsewhere for its supply; but, like all other predictions made by those who were opposed to the Negroes' emancipation, this prophecy failed, and by 1870 the world was convinced that Negroes could produce more cotton as free men and women than they had done as slaves, hence, today we are producing three times as much cotton in the Southern cotton belt as we were producing the day that Lincoln issued his famous proclamation of emancipation. At the present price of cotton, there is no reason why each farmer should not own his own home, cultivate his own soil and live in luxury; but if we are to continue the use of the old poor mule or horse, the worn out and broken plow, stave the horse, it must be expected that the families are to remain living in the old dirt floor and mud dobbled log cabins and their children grow up in ignorance. What the farmers need today is fat, strong, teams, modern, improved floors, scientific fertilization, scientific farming, well-built and well-ventilated homes for our families, good barns for our stock, modern, up-to-date schools for our children and sacred, consecrated churches for our families. I do not altogether agree with the old adage "Early to bed, early to rise," and wise, but I rather believe in the old Masonic idea: Divide your twenty-four hours into three equal parts; eight hours to work, eight hours for recreation and eight hours for sleep. The eight hours spent in the home with the family around the fireside reading up the manuscripts of the late and best weekly journals is as equally prodigious and perhaps more so than the eight hours that are put in in hard work, and to the health and strength, I know the eight hours of sleep could not be better spent. Yes, if the master in the days of slavery could produce cotton, pay for the slaves, hire the overseers, buy land, teams and tools and live comfortably selling his cotton from five to ten cents per pound, if the farmer of today would properly till his soil, properly fertilize it, he could grow much more wealth than his master ever dreamed of being. Do you ask me why? I answer that 2,000 pounds of seed cotton today is worth more in gold than 4,000 pounds were the day Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation. Cotton that sold in the seventies at five to eight cents a pound, is today worth from twelve to twenty cents DR. M. W. GILBERT ANSWERS SUMMONS City Shocked--Just Returned From Florida--Many Messages of Condolence The friends of the Gilbert family were shocked Thursday morning, when it became known that death had called from labor to reward the Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., who at the time of his demise was the popular pastor of the First Baptist Church, on Eighth avenue, N. It was not generally known that Rev. Gilbert was in poor health, though his friends were cognizant of the fact that he had spent two weeks in Florida for a long-needed rest. Upon his return Saturday night it was rumored that his condition was such that only relatives and immediate friends were allowed at his bedside. It was thought, however, that this condition was caused by the long travel from the south, with such poor accommodations. The death of Rev. Gilbert removes from the ranks of Baptist pastors one of the best informed ministers of the demonstration. For many years Rev. Gilbert was the President of Selma University and the school prospered and grew under his administration. A few years ago Dr. Gilbert decided that the duties of the school were too heavy for his failing health and consequently he resigned the same and took up the pastoral work. During his ministerial career he was the pastor of some of the largest congregations in the country and was the adviser and confidante of some of the nation's leading men. The late DR. M. W. GILBERT, D. D. Pastor of First Baptist Church, 8th Avenue, North. Dr. Gilbert is survived by a wife, daughters, and twosons. Funeral services will be held Sunday morning from the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, at 9 o'clock. Rev. W. S. E.illington, pastor of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, will officiate at the funeral and be assisted by the following ministers: Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Dr. S. W. Crosstwait and Rev. A. S. Robinson. The active pall-bearers are Mr. W. T. Hightower, Dr. J. B. Singleton, Prof. C. B. Lowe, Prof. S. P. Harris, Mr. L. Fort, Mr. J. W. Scruggs, Hon. T. G. Ewing, Mr. W. Young, Mr. J. B. Wilson and Dr. Crawford and his honorary pall-bearers are Rev. A. D. Hurt, Rev. E. M. Lawrence, C. H. Fearn, J. C. Fields, H. M. Burns, J. R. Evans, J. A. Brown, J. L. Harding, oJs. Keil and G. B. Taylor. The remains, accompanied by the family, will leave on the "Dixic Flyer" for Jacksonville, Fla., where all that is mortal of Dr. M. W. Gilbert will be intered. per pound. In fact, my friends, the bi-product of cotton today is worth more than the whole fiber was worth in the seventies. The cotton crops of the South today are yielding from five to eight hundred million dollars annually, and the bi-products that were thrown away and cost the producer considerable labor to keep it out of the way, is today capable or making the South wealthy. We are informed that the bi-products of the Southern cotton crops today are worth or bringing-in real cash to the producer and manufacturer of from one to three million dollars annually. Let us think of it, forty years ago the cotton seed made our cattle sick and killed our hogs with disease. The seed was scarcely fit for fertilizing the ground. Today the hull of the cotton seed and the meal after the oil is pressed out from it is acknowledged both in Europe and America to be the finest stock food that the earth has ever produced. The seed is the best food and produces the best manufacturing. The meat and fish packers, the soap and paint makers and all other manufacturers are finding that the bi-product oil of cotton seed is the finest production that the civilized world has put forth. When we turn from the bi-product to the actual fiber, cotton has no substitute. It went into competition a few centuries ago with three of the strongest and most reliable competitors that the world has ever known wool, flax and silk. Side by side she battled with them against great dis advantage. The manufacturer in creased his knowledge, the chemists dived deep into his science, and cotton first blending with each of these fabrics, and then taking a leap in advance of them until today five pounds of cotton fabrics are used where one pound of either of the other three fabrics are used; and yet, the demand is rapidly increasing because the population is increasing, but not more than four-fifth of the human family have yet been clad with cotton fabrics. The semi-civilized have not yet been bald clad, and the best statisticians tell us that then this is accomplished, America, the South, the South, if you please, and the Negro, who is a natural born Southern, who is to supply the civilized world with forty-tall tails annually to meet this demand, then it will be those who are blessed to live to see it, who will see the Southern farmer, the cotton producer, the Negroes who live in the South, ride in his automobile, live in his well-regulated home, send his children to the best schools and build the finest houses to worship God in. (Continued on Page 4.) SIMMONS DERIDES NEGRO PACI FISTS. RACE MUST ANSWER CALL OF NAVA OF OP HOOKER, WASHINGTON CARRIZAL HEROES PRAISED (Louisville Herald Roscoe Conckling Slimons, nephew of the late Booker T. Washington, and hailed as Washington's successor in the leadership of his race, held an audience spellbound for more than two hours yesterday afternoon at the Chestnut Street Methodist Episcopal Church, where he pictured the part Negroes would play in the event of hostilities with a foreign country. Col. Slimons is conceded to be the race's greatest orator. The meeting, before it was given shape by Col. Slimons, was inclined towards two ends entirely different from that it reached. Bills had been printed, announcing that the mass-meeting would be composed of citizens from every section of Louisville interested in the betterment of the city. In introducing the speaker of the afternoon, Dr. G. M. Noble, pastor of the church, said that through some misunderstanding newspapers had in titated that a protest against pacifism was to be registered by colored citizens of the city. Dr. Noble For Peace. "This is a mistake," said Dr. Noble. "We are here to discuss ways of improving Louisville. I am sorry that our church has been put in the light of fostering a movement against pacifism. We are a peace-loving race. We are here to find a common ground for activity in fighting vice, not for fighting any foreign country. Whatever fuss the white people get up they must settle themselves. The white men started the war in Europe. The white men broke off diplomatic relations with Germany and surely the white men don't have to call on us to settle their dispute. We will now war from Col. Simmons how we can better Louisville" announced the pastor. But Louisville was not mentioned again during the meeting. After paying a high tribute to Noble, Noble, Carl. Simmons said he did not agree with the doctor's remarks concerning the Negro's attitude toward Knows only One Flag. "We are part of our country. We know but one flag and that is the flag that set us free and that is the flag that we in, peace or in war. I am a citizen of Louisville. I'm a Kentucky. I am an American. Whatever affects another American affects me. I am not a hyphenated American. In peace. I am a Negro. In war. I am an American. I am not an Afro-American. "I want to serve notice on all you men in this audience that the time must never come in your life when you will turn a deaf ear to the call of your country. We must not let white men settle everything. Sometimes I think we have let them settle too many things. We must always do our part and we have always done our part in times of war. If we suffer it is because we have not shaken off our shackles. If we are not free, we must set ourselves free." Col. Simmons reminded his audience of the noble deeds of bravery enacted by members of the race in wars of the past. He told of Sergent Carney, the Negro who, though wounded unto death, had prevented the American flag from touching the ground when it had fallen. He told of the Negro's effectiveness in battles of the Civil War, in the battles of the Revolutionary War and carried his hearers to the present day when praises of the Negro soldiers at Carrizal are still being sung. "When the bugle blows and the fag unfurls, where will the Negro be?" demanded Col. Simmons. "They will be where they always have been, at the front. We have been denied admission at West Point, and we are not desired in the Kentucky National Guard but when the war drums best we'll be in the army. Records Now Forgotten. "Men may forget our records but God will never forget. We will die for our country. Let us say to the white men, who are reluctant to rally to the Stars and Stripes—Stand back! Stand back! Stand back! If you don't want to fight for your country, we'll fight for it." "We have a record to defend, but thank God we have no treason for which to atone. No Negro ever raised his hand against the American flag. No Negro ever sold a military war map of this country to an enemy. No Negro ever shot down a President. We must not let the American white men go to war and leave us at home. "I have noting against Germany. (Continued on page 8.)" SOLONS PAY VISIT TO A. & I. STATE NORMAL PRES. W. J. HALE COMPLIMENTED A remarkable compliment was paid President W. J. Hale and the State Normal school last Tuesday by the Legislature of Tennessee. Over one hundred members of that body went out to the school and held a notable session during which great praise was given the institution and the race for the splendid success which has been attained there under the intelligent and efficient management of its worthy President. Mr Speaker Crabbe of the State Senate, presided over the session. A second compliment was paid the institution and President Hale on Tuesday, and he expressed himself to this paper as being doubly appreciative of this high tribute and great manifestation of interest displayed. This was when so many of the warm friends volunteered with the automobiles and otherwise appeared to render assistance to President Hale in having the Solons go out and visit the institution. Thus they showed that they are only glad when a time comes when they may be able to show their friendship for and interest in State Normal and give active demonstration holding up the hands of its efficient President in his role to make the institution the most progressive of kind in the entire South. The occasion was truly one of the biggest events that has ever been held in Nashville. of the very best friends I ever had worked side by side with me on the farm. We plowed together. He was poor, but honest and ambitious. His name is Elmer Wallace. He will graduate in June from that great school in Oberlin and will finish the agricultural course which is the best that Ohio is able to give. He is worthy of the respect and admiration of any man for he is highly educated, a splendid type of citizen, and his only possession at the start was honesty and ambition. Senator L. Stockard of Benton County Representative Scott and others also spoke. Each member was simply amazed to find such a splendid institution built up in so short a time and actually doing the work which many older schools with large appropriations have failed to accomplish. The speech of Senator Stockard was one offering some sound advice to the students. "You were not provided this fine school simply that you might have an education, but because through you the state desires that the little boy and girl who will never be able to get here shall be elevated and lifted up. It is proposed to use you as an instrument to reach the future fellow who will offer us other ways to secure what they are entitled to. You see then, it is highly important that you take advantage of your opportunities and fit yourself, so that Promptly at noon Tuesday the State Senate and House of Representatives adjourned to go to State Normal. Filing out of the Capital they found awaiting them many automobiles, standing ready to whirl them off to the school. The trip was made without delays of any kind and once at the institution the inspection of all departments began. When this was finished the Legislature was ushered in and they were served with one of the famous "State Normal Dinners." One hundred and eight solos partook of this meal. Following the dinner to all of the guests, the students were assembled in Chapel, where Speaker Crabtree reconvened the Legislature. He was introduced by President Hale, who said in part: "The State made an investment several years ago and you have come to see if the investment pays. We believe that such an investment pays more than that made in providing such an institution as you see across the hill (meaning the state prison.) We also believe that the investment reduces the expenses of this state is to increase the expenditures on an institution such as this. We welcome you here to see what we are doing." Speaker Crabtree, in his opening remarks, paid a high compliment to the worth and work of President Hale. "He is from my County and I have known him for many years. There is not a more capable man of your race" he declared. Speaker Crabtree then spoke of the great service which the members of the, colored race had rendered during the Civil War when the white women and children received protection at the hands of the slaves even though the white men were at the front fighting to retain them (the slaves) in bondage. He said "that a spectacle of loyalty that has never been equaled, and now it is our duty and highly to our interest to educate your race that you may become better citizens. History does not show a finer thing that the South is doing than that of spending money to help educate its colored citizens" he declared. Speaker Shropshire Talks. He called on Speaker Shropshire, as the next orator. The Nashville member is known for his eloquence and made a very pleasing speech. He praised State Normal, President Hale and paid a tribute to the Negro race for the advance it had made "Two years ago I visited this institution on an occasion similar to this. It was a revelation to me then, but I must say say that after a second inspection, I am simply amazed at the wonderful improvement that has been made in the last two years. An institution og this kind is not given full credit for its great usefulness by most people until they come in direct contact with its work. I consider this the greatest institution of its kind in the South. The people of the state owe it to you to give you every aid and encouragement. Ignorance is a crime and every man and woman should be given an education in order that they may be taught to obey the laws of God and man." declared Mr. Shropshire. Representative Mr. Lelkins was the next scholar and he stated that he had only visited the State Normal before, but that he was glad now that he was among those who came out. "The colored people have mode a remarkable advance in education, religion and in all things that wo to make for higher citizenship" he stated. I do not know of any other race that has done quite so well in fifty years as the Negro race. As an investment this institution may not show in dollars and cents, but it will turn out intelligent and successful men and women who will be worth more than that to the state. I hope to see the day come when the Penitentaries will be depopulated." Friend to Negro Speaker Crabtree then called on Hon. Ben C. Welch, a young attorney and member of the lower house from Decaturville. Mr. Welch is a pleasing young orator. He said, "There are people who are not as well acquainted with members of the colored race as I am. I was reared up with colored people. One NUMBER 19 of the very best friends I ever had worked side by side with me on the farm. We plowed together. He was poor, but honest and ambitious. His name is Elmer Wallace. He will graduate in June from that great school in Oberlin and will finish the agricultural course which is the best that Ohio is able to give. He is worthy of the respect and admiration of any man for he is highly educated, a splendid type of citizen, and his only possession at the start was honesty and ambition." Senator R. L. Stockard of Benton County, Representative Scott and others also spoke. Each member was simply amazed to find such a splendid institution built up in so short a time and actually doing the work which many older schools with large appropriations have failed to accomplish. The speech of Senator Stockard was one offering some sound advice to the students. "You were not provided this fine school simply that you might have an education, but because through you the state desires that the little boy and girl who will never be able to get here shall be elevated and lifted up. It is proposed to use you as an instrument to reach the many little fellows who might otherwise fall to secure what they are entitled to. You see then, it is highly important that you take advantage of your opportunities and fit yourself, that when you go back the boys and girls, you will be able to render the highest service to not only your race but your state. We, of the Sixthieth General Assembly, are here to adjust the affairs of the State of Tennessee and in doing so shall look out for your interests, and you can be satisfied that we shall not forget you and State Normal. Need More Normals Representative Scott declared: "I see such splendid work being done here that I feel that what we need is another State Normal in East Tennessee and still another in West Tennessee. I hope the time is not far off when you shall have increased appropriations, and I am sure that Tennessee will not be behind any other state in providing all the money needed for the proper education of its colored citizens.

CLEARBATION OF THE FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Washington, D. C., March 3.—(Special to the Globe.)—The celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Howard University which closed with today's program, was easily one of the most notable events in the history of the Negro people since emancipation. This was shown by the character of those who came back from their various fields of work to take part in the celebration of their Alma Mater's good old age, and in the character of the great men and women who took part in the proceedings as principals. The first two days of the celebration, notably the most far-reaching in interest, were devoted to the discussion of sociological problems, which confront the Negro people. The Conference was opened by President S. N. Newman of the University, outlining the scope and purpose of the Conference, followed by the discussion of the subject "Ownership of Rural and Urban Homes," by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, President N. E. Young of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., Editor of the Christian Recorder, and by the discussion of "Business Enterprises," Dean Kelly Miller presided. The paper was read by Mr. Monroe (Continued on Page 8.) The Picture Of THE MOST WONDERFUL OFFER EVER MADE 2 The Picture Of Health Now.

"I had suffered with my lungs for years and had tried doctors and medicines of all kinds," said Mr. Joe Williams, who lives on Route Shelbyville, Tenn. Mr. Williams is well-known up in his part of the country. "I got no permanent relief, however, until I began taking Lung-Vita." continued Mr. Williams. "When I started taking it I weighed one hundred and forty pounds and now, having taken six bottles of the medicine, I weigh two hundred and forty pounds, and feel as well as anybody and my lungs are perfectly strong. I will be glad for anyone to come out and see me and talk to me about it. I am sure that it will do you good to look at me if you want to see the picture of health."

An ideal pan for baking apples, beans, escalloped potatoes, macaroni, and similar foods. BERLIN KETTLE. This attractive Berlin Kettle is unexcelled for cooking and stewing vegetables. The bulged sides are a big advantage as they make it easy to pour liquids from the vegetables. They prevent the food from sliding out when the kettle is tilted to drain off the liquid. When used as a Windsor Kettle, it turns out delicious pot roasts without grease or water. STEAMER SET This combination is exactly what you need to properly steam potatoes and corn on the cob. The pan is large enough to contain a large meal and the perforations throughout the entire bottom insure uniform and thorough cooking. CORN POPPER OR CORN FLAKE TOASTER. How often it happens that you need a utensil to do such odd little things as popping corn, restoring the crispness to corn flakes, roasting coffee, etc. This answers these purposes nicely. -Send $5.00 and Get One States upon the receipt of $5.00.

We feel that her memory will forever last with the living, for she did so much good while on earth. She was a true member of the Eastern Star, was always ready to help them in their undertakings. We are loath to give her up and give that our loss is heaven's gain. We do not give that our loss is dead but only sleeping. She has not to awaken our coming beyond the seas of rest from whence none have ever returned. So we will greet her smiles no more on earth in our church; no more in our homes neither in our chapter room, but we will meet her in the Sweet Beulah, where parting will be no more and we will never say good bye.

Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 9, '17 A MATTER OF FASHION A Moore County minister comments frankly and without reserve on the way "certain young women" expose their legs in public places even in the coldest weather. Not content with exhibiting the "ample rotundity" of the members in question, the parson observes, they permit "glimpses of suffering flesh," presumably because of the diaphanus texture of the hoiosis worn. "It's a great exhibit," the parson unblushingly confesses, but he wonders if the dear girls are compensated for their sufferings by the attention they succeed in attracting from the male of the species. The parson fears that such notice as is bestowed upon the show is unworthy, coming, it is quite likely, from men least worth a woman's while. But did not the distinguished parson look? Surely, although a bachelor well along in years, he is worth any woman's while. And if so discriminating an observer, not to say connouisseur, as the parson should on occasion frankly contemplate street displays in holsery, why is the asumption not warranted that other equally chaste and respectable males may betimes glance out of the corner of an eye upon some particularly alluring exhibit? Tut, tut! Why not confess that all men are tarred with the same stick? The lure of sex is strong, and few there be who are able to resist it, at least to the extent of sten glances now and then But, aside from any question of morals which may be involved in the contemplation of feminine contours as they are revealed on the streets. The Globe is in agreement with the parson in wonderment as to why the women do it. Any one is entitled to a guess on this riddle. The Globe is not going to attempt to sclive it. But it is constrained to indulge in a few observations on the subject. In the first place, one would think that considerations of comfort would impet women to lower their skirts and wear thicker boots in cold weather. And if comfort did not suggest that course, another thought is that self-respect ought to compel it. But fashion seems to be the supreme law of women—that is to say, some women—and what Fashion decrees is done, irrespective of either comfort or self-respect. The Globe is obliged to concede that, being self-confess edly old-fashioned, it could not contemplate a street parade on the part of any member of its own family with patience. However it will not be so severe as is the parson and intimate that all who so parade are immoral. Its conclusion rather is that women, and especially very young women, are only thoughtless in their devotion to Fashion's decrees. The Globe does not believe that a young women who make such awful exhibition of their charms in public have any correct knowledge of the way they are regarded by thoughtful people. They do not know how many people, including some men, blush for them, in the absence of their inclination to blush for themselves. Therefore the Globe will say for their benefit that many of the glances which are directed toward them are more glances of pity for their ignorance, and contempt for their folly, and amazement at the shallow vanity which tempts them, than they are glances of admiration. But the Globe recognizes the futility of preaching to the women about fashions, and it does not expect that anything it or the parson may say on this subject will restrain them from doing just as they please about their attire. Fashion will continue to fix the styles, and not preaching. But it is some satisfaction occasionally to free one's mind, and if that was the purpose of the parson, the Globe would extend to him its sympathy and would confess that in such comment as it has here made it has been animated by like purpose, and that is all. MAKE A GARDEN If not on account of the high cost of living, then on your own account, for your own benefit, make a garden this spring. It will benefit you more than some new fangled treatment. There is a world of wisdom in the old Greek fable of the giant Anteus, who always gained new strength when he touched his mother, the earth. We might put in place of the giants, all sorts of useful effort, man working to make the earth a better place for the children of man. And as of old, weary, worn, almost defeated, man gains new strength by getting close to Mother Earth. Make a garden. Begins to look like it will be driver than bone dry. Once upon a time you could tell a lady by the way she didn't cross her legs. There ought to be a jaw prohibiting the bowlegged girl from wearing short skirts and white stockings. When a woman is undressed people say she is overdressed. "Not only bone dry," "but the bones calcined, pulverized and filling the air with millions of glistening particles. A man has to live with himself continually. For that reason it becomes him to walk circumscpectly that he may look upon himself with some degree of approval. How it must shame a man to look in the mirror and know he is face to face with a crook. It has been a long time since the ladies shortened their skirts, but it cannot be fairly set forth that the men have lost interest in the ensuing expositions. Having succeeded in putting the saloons out of business, the reformers are now addressing themselves to the vice of smoking. After that it will become a crime for a man to kiss wife on Sunday, and the glorious reign of the blue laws will be on in full blast. We know a man who has worked all his life for others; for his parents for awhile, then for a wife and children and some of her kia. The world rates him as moderately successful, but his own actual monetary compensation has just about amounted to board and clothes. And at home he bears some complaint because he doesn't do better. You hear much of the joy of service, but sometimes there are two sides. There are so many things to learn that a man has to be fairly well educated to realize how little he knows. A married man soon gets to feel like an attorney whose objections are always being overruled. At this writing snow is covering terra firma pretty deep, but do your gardening early just the same. Oh, what energetic stars some mortals can be! AFFLUENCE From now on we can be expected to associate with common people, having succeeded in acquiring the fabulous amount of four pounds of potatoes. This acquisition places us on a plane of artistry for above that of the vulgar crowd who own nothing more valuable than automobiles and diamonds, and naturally makes us exclusive. There are few, if any, in our class. ANTIC!PATION. Just wait! Soon you can eat dandelions, lamb's quarter and other kinds of greens, to say nothing of horse radish and other varieties of weeds that insist on infesting the fence corners. The first geese have flown northward and the first ball teams have flitted southward. Spring is coming. Careful observation leads to the belief that few men drive their friends away with flattery. It is no crime to be poor, but it is getting to be a deuce of a handicap when you are hungry. Any time now potatoes may be appropriately served as dessert. The shrewd manufacturer will get all the advertising he can out of tendering the government the use of his plant in case of war. If the government wants it the government will take it. It requires considerable nerve on the part of the proprietor of a well-seasoned cob-pipe to kick on the odor of the pesky cigarette. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 9, 1917. The man who can take it or let it alone has utilized numerous opportunities to demonstrate that he can take it. He should now welcome the chance to prove that he can let it alone. There used to be a time when you could send your plate back with a plea for "more spuds, please," but that was a long time ago. On rare occasions the weather man feels warranted in predicting rising temperature, but for fear this prediction might be misinterpreted it is usually accompanied by a call for snow. The recent freeze in Florida destroyed millions of dollars worth of fruit and early vegetables. This ought to help out the middleman's alibi a little. If the Reed amendment does what is expected of it, it may help materially toward the solution of the high cost of living problem in a good many families. If the effects of force of habit could be overcome, two-thirds of the demand for potatoes might be eliminated and the demand for rice trebled over night. The disturbing fact remains that investigation will not increase supply or reduce demand. And the first of March is here. Oh Gloom! City Items Watch for Big Fashion Show at Quality Shop. Rev.

Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Maria Crawford were held at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, February 25th. Mrs. Crawford was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens in the city and her death was deeply deplored by all who knew her. She was the mother of the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, who stood first among the Negro physicians of the city in matters pertaining to civic betrement. Mrs. Crawford has been an invalid for some time, and although it was known that she was critically ill and had an advanced age was against her, the set of her demise spread gloom among the large number of friends and acquaintances who loved and honored her for her great noble heart and many benevolent deeds. Mrs. Crawford became a member of Autumn Leaf Court No. 7 not long after it was organized. She was dutiful and faithful, always ready to do her part to help make Autumn Leaf Court No. 7 the best court in the entire jurisdiction. She was loved and revered by all. Five years ago the late Dr. R. F. Boyd who organized the Grand Court of Tennessee died. This court has grown under the leadership of noble women till today it has hundreds of members and $18,000 in its treasury. What a noble son this mother gave to his people! The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. L. P. Jones, Dr. W. S. Ellington and Bishop Evans Tyree spoke very eloquently of the good accomplished by this Christian woman. The officers of St. Paul A. M. E. Church were pall-bearers. Music was rendered by the choir. Dr. S. S. C. rulershers sang a very impressive solo. The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse. The Grand Officers of the Court of Calanthe were present to pay the respects to a grand夫人 who after years of service had gone to her reward. Mrs. Crawford leaves to mourn her home-going a host of children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends, who bow in humble submission to the will of him who doeth all things well and who gave them of this noble Christian womn's life. FUNERAL OF MRS. HENRIETTA CAMPBELL. All that was mortal of Mrs. Henrietta Campbell was interred Friday, February 23. The funeral services were held at her late residence on Maury street. Drs. W. S. Ellington, H. L. P. Jones and Bishop Evans Tyepe, three of Nashville's most prominent ministers, attended the services. Each spoke of the exemplary life and noble works of the deceased. A quartet from the National Baptist Publishing Board, composed of son and Messrs. A. G. Price and L. Misses Sadie Wilson and another Dum S. Gray rendered several selections. Mrs. Miranda Hutter McKissack and Miss Alba Ross sang solos. Mrs Campbell had lingered for a year mat of which time she was critically ill. So many friends attended the funeral that it was impossible for them to all get in. The bier was covered with beautiful designs which attested to the love which the deceased had inspired in the hearts of all who knew her. Mrs. Campbell leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs. Blake and Miss Henrietta Campbell, of South Nashville. TO THE PUBLIC OF OUR RACE Dear Citizens: While sitting at home very interested in the colored news, I take great pleasure in thankking Dr. W. Andrews for his liberal address in regard to our colored citizens, why so many of them are leaving the south. But as it is a known fact that each and every one of the colored race is aware of the fact, why so many of us are leaving the south and such few of the white citizens of the south that are interested in our colored people, and I think if any one wants to let the white citizens of the south know how our race is treated, it would afford us with great pleasure a copy of this open confession in the daily news of the Tennessee or Banner, where it might be clearly seen by the citizens of the south. I remain your friend of the colored race. E. D. DILLAHUNTY. DR. R. H. BOYD'S ADDRESS (continued here, Page 1) POST OFFICE RECEIPTS.

A LETTER FROM THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 22, 1917. To the People of Tennessee: We believe that the study of God's Word is necessary to develop strong Christian character, that every person ought to have the blessings that result from such study, and that the Sunday school is an efficient agency for the promotion of systematic Bible study. We note with interest the fact that the Tennessee Sunday School Association has designated Sunday, April 8, as Go-to-Sunday-School Day and that Governor Rye has proclaimed and set apart said day as Go-to-Sunday-School Day for Tennessee. We join with the Governor in urging all Tennesseeans, as well as visitors within our borders, to attend the Sunday school of their choice on said day. We suggest to the Sunday school workers that they carefully prepare for a proper observance of said day and see that every visitor gets such a cordial reception that he will become a regular member of the Sun- --- ```markdown ``` AGENTS OUTFIT 1 Hair Grower, 1 Tempur-Pedic 0 Oil Face Cream, and Direction 1 Oil Face Cream 250 Ec Extra for Postage 1512 Atlantic Ave., GOOD ADVICE finds the mark It is good advice to counsel thriftiness.

MILLS AND FRISEBY COMING Mills and Frisby, international stars, are coming to Nashville. This international theatre is a new theatre-goers in connection also will be Miss Fannie Wise, *l's star with Cole and Johnson*. Miss Wise was abroad in foreign theatres three years. She played Hammerstein Broadway. New York, a successful three-year engagement. Later she was with Miller and Lyles aggregation of talent in "Darkydom." Another star will be Miss Lottie Grady of Williams and Walker. She has been a leading screen star in the Afro-American Film Company. Miss Grady wears the finest gowns obtainable and is said to be the best dressed colored woman on the American stage. She will positively appear among the stars of Mr. Luke Scott, character artist, doing five changes in less time than one minute, will also be on hand. The chorus will be a bevy of pretty girls. There will also be a corking up-to-the-minute female orchestra known as Jad's band. Full details will be printed later. "PRANCING AROUND." Good music, wholesome comedy and tuneful songs will be a big feature in the bill "PRANCING AROUND" which will be the offering of the Milton Schuster Company, who play a return engagement at the Orpheum, starting Monday, March 12. There will be matness Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the bill will be changed on Thursday, starting with a matinee, when "A WINNING WIDOW" will be presented. The chorus with the Schuster Company is made up of pretty girls, handsomely costumed and are well trained. The many musical numbers and the unaccountable dances, give abundant opportunity to the chorus to show their skill. The bill is a laughable conceit, built around a series of amusing incidents in New York whereby two Jewish characters are taken in and done out of their money, and their attempts to get it back takes them on many journeys out of the city and they finally recover their wealth in the end. The comedy is strong in scenic surprises, there being a yatch at the close of the first act under full steam for a trip to Florida, where the comedians meet with all kinds of adventures with a sharper and aligators. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with matinees Thursday and Saturday this same company will present "The Winning Widow," which is said to be the most charming musical comedy of their motto. You can have your seats reserved in advance for any performance. Prices at the matinees 15 and 25 cents. Nights, 25 and 35 cents. Half of the balcony reserved for colored people. CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE. The directors of the Capital City League convened at the home of Mr. Sam Allison, 1400 Grant street. The entire evening was taken up in discussing and electing officers. The house was called to order by President R. Schaffer, 1400 Grant street. The clubs represented in alphabetical order. Each was given opportunity to state their opinion of the coming season. Mr. R. Tabor was re-elected president; Sam Allison, vice president; Mr. Miller, of the Sox was elected treasurer to succeed Mr. Marshall Garrett. Neal Boyd, Jr. was re-elected secretary.

Already the strong Maroon team has expressed its intention of coming into the league (by Mr. Gray. Any team desiring to enter the league will be invited at our next meeting at 613 Webster street, and if not call Main 366, or address mail to 906 Morrison street to the Neal Boyd. (SIGNED) R.

My business would not allow me to enter school until about four months after school had begun, so I went to the Arkansas Baptist College to enter school as I did last term. I walked into the office and told the secretary that I wanted to enter school; he told me that I would have to see Dr. Booker, that he wanted to talk with all the ministers that came to enter school. I asked for him and the secretary said he was somewhere on the campus. I then looked for him but failed to find him. I then went home and waited until the second day. I went back again. I asked the secretary for Dr. Booker; he told Dr. Booker that I wanted to see him. Dr. Booker told the secretary to tell me to come in. Then the secretary showed me the door that entered into Mr. Booker's office. On entering the door he gets up giving me a chair; he then sits down in front of me. I told him that I had been there before to enter school but the secretary told me that I had to see you. So I am here. He said, "Yes, yes, yes, well, Brother Brown. I am authorized by the authorities of the school not to any of the men who are fighting in the war to come here to school." I said, "we need you have not fought the institution. Yes you have, said he. I have been told that you are one of the fighters. I said well, Professor, you have not seen anything through the paper neither have I made any public speech since the trouble arose. I only lined up with the side that I be lieve to be right. And, too, Professor, I think that you have the wrong idea about the brethren. He said "Maybe I have. I am trying to see the right." Then I said it is not the institution we are fighting, it is the management of things. This seemed to make him a Hittie angry. He then told me that I did not know anything about running a school "You haven't got sense enough," said he. I said, well, Professor, it may be Scene from the Pretty Girls in PRANCING AROUND at the Orphe um. that I haven't sense enough to run the school, but I know one thing, I have been giving to this institution ever since I have been in the church and since I have been pastoring I haven't missed paying my money and also my church's and instead of the debreasing it is increasing and I feel it is in the management of things. This seems to make him a little angrier. He said "I can't understand how you all think that you are not fighting the institution when you fight the men who own the institution. Well, he said, "you will have to go to some other school to get your education; you can't come to school." He then got up and showed me the door and said, "Get out and fight me outright and see whether you can move me or not. Of course you know I had to go. Now I have heard that Dr Booker said that my statement was not true. He did not tell me that I could not come to the A. B. C. Now, good Dr. Booker, I don't believe you will take back what you have said that way. You are too much of a gentleman to do so. If you would you would be less than a man. You know you said it. Now, I did not go there to discuss the issue nor to settle our district and state trouble. I went there to enter school and be subject to the rules of the school as I did in the past. But you called me in question about our difference and I feel that I had as much right to defend my stand or what I believe to be fight as you did. Yes, I am against the present management of the school and shall forever be. No more of my money shall go as it has been going. You can get as angry as you please. J E BROWN Pastor Antoch Baptist Church Vice President V. D. S. S. Convention. We must not hate Germany. In the event of war it will not be a war of hate. We can not be asked to hate Germany for then we would be asked to hate Bismark. Germany is the only unconquered nationality in the history of all time. Germany is the greatest nation in the world today because it has spent its lifetime in achieving greatness. Its greatness lies in oneness—one people, one hope, one law, one car, one school. It is not divided against itself. Would Stand by Wilson, "This country will never be as great as Germany until it mothers only one people. "We must follow Wilson whether he leads us against Germany, against England or against any other nation. I love to think of my country as a virile country. If our Nation is too cowardly to fight then it is too cowardly to die for. God Almighty sometimes teaches men by war what he does not teach them by peace. We know this. Out of war came our freedom. "Several weeks ago I had in my mind the organization of a regiment of Kentucky Negroes. I was going to call it either the 'Henry Watterson Braves' or 'Booker T. Washington's Own.' I was going to ask Dr. Noble to be the chaplain but since I have heard his attitude of war, I am afraid he would not be available at the time of the greatest need of his presence. When a dying soldier would desire the prayers of Dr. Noble I am afraid it would require the combined efforts of the regiment to catch Dr. Noble. "My parting words to you are to fall in line for the Stars and Stripes. Let us be the ones to blow the bugle and to unfurl the flag. Remember, we are descendants of Sergt. Carney. CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. (Continued from Page 1.) N. Work, Director of the Division of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute, and was discussed by Mr. William Anthony Aery of the Hampton Institute, and Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age. On the second day the subject of discussion was "Education." Dean Lewis B. Moore presided. The paper was read by Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent for Schools for the District of Columbia, and was discussed by Dean Benjamin G. Brawley of Morehouse College and others. "Health and Sanitation" was by far the most important paper discussed at the Conference, and the paper was led by Dr. C. V. Roman, A. M. of New York, was not only eloquent in its word-patting, but humorous and conclusive in its facts. Miss Mary W. Ovington and Mr. Eugene Knickle Jones of New York participated in the discussion. In the afternoon "Race Co-operation after Fifty Years" was discussed by Prof. A. M. Trawick and others. The Mass Meeting at the Convention Hall was presided over by Ex-Chief Justice Stanton Judkins Peele, LL.D. Addresses on "The Significance of the Fifty Years of History of Howard University and of the Advance o the f Colored Race with which it is Connected" were delivered by the Honorable Franklin Knight Lane, Secretary of the Interior; Prof. Carl Leseh, Ph. D., of the University of Pennsylvania; President H. T. Kealing, D. D., of Western University, and Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkeld. The music under the leadership of Prof. Rey W. Tibbs was excellent. The Musicale Festival at the First Congregational Church, presided over by Dr. J. H. H. Waring, was a meeting to commemorate the birth of the University and the signing of the NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 9, 1917. Charter March 2, 1867. It was one of the most soul-stirring of gatherings because all those who participated in it were identified with the life and fortunes of the University. Notable addresses were delivered by Prof. Richard T. Greener, Judge George W. Atkinson and Dr. W. A. Sinclair. On Saturday, the third and last day of the Celebration, there were reunions by Departments and Classes and a General Alumni Rally, the latter being presided over by Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, the President of the General Alumni Association, who delivered an address of welcome. Admired by the President by Mr. John C. Asbury of Philadelphia, Rev. C. George Frazier Miller of New York. Presidents of visiting colleges were entertained at luncheon Saturday night by the Truste Beard. Howard University owes its existence to the devotion and self-sacrifice of General Oliver O. Howard, a soldier of the Union and a lover of all the races, without distinction of color, and who denied himself that others more needful might have advantages which he had enjoyed of opportunity and education. The results of fifty years of work done by the University, as shown in its results, more than justifies the faith of its name-sake and benefactor, who has "passed beyond the bar where we all hope for him there was no mourning when he went out to sea." TRYING TO KEEP THINGS IN THE FAMILY. The Western Review, a weekly news journal, Little Rock, published by one Rev. Dr. R. M. Caver, takes the People's Defender and its editor greatly to task in its issue of February 28th. The People's Defender would not take note of the young man at all were it not that he wishes to call the people's attention once more to the strenuous attempts to keep everything in the Morris-Booker-Caver family. They had rather die than to have the truth told. Whenever the truth is being told to the people generally, they rush to each other's side and attempt to kill off everybody and everything that would go to give the people a real vision of the one self-appointed guardian family in Arkansas. Certainly, however, by this time every intelligent man in the state hath realized the death struggling of that self-appointed crowd. He speaks about the graduates and under-graduates standing hard by the "old man" and the school. This course is most repugnant and misrepresenting-to those who know the facts in the case. Everybody knows that the graduates and under-graduates are not standing by the institution, but we do not care in this article to deal at length with the editor of the Western Review. We reserve him and his rantings for future consideration when we have nothing of real importance to talk about. Then we will talk about him. We are after big game and regain him as being too small-sized bird to bag; not worth taking home; go back into the woods and grow to killing size; then the editor will take a shot at you. —The People's Defender. VICTORY OF THE MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH. The Macedonia Baptist Church, England, Ark, who peaceful worship and church life was disturbed by a few representatives of church minority rule and Baptist irregularity, and who were thrown into the courts by such representatives, have come out more than victorious as will always those who are right and righteous. Rev. T. W. Washington, the pastor, and the officials of that church were sustained in their contentions against the corrupt practices and designs of the would-be little Professor Moreland and his misled and misguided adherents. The complete victory in this case is very encouraging, and serves to demonstrate to the world that the courts of our land are not going to depart or permit others to depart from the regular line of procedure as outlined by the fathers of the Baptist church in their disciplines and well-established rules of practice. The Macedonia Church in its contentions received an injunction against Moreland and his crowd, received the money that was in the treasury, and had it not been for the spirit of mercy, would have landed the little Professor and his Doodle Gang in jail. The church proper was represented by Attorneys Clark and Hibbler while the destructive faction was represented by Jones and Booker, who were only too glad to accept the mercy of the aforesaid counsel. The Baptist churches of the Union District have nothing to fear in the attempts of these outlawed Baptist preachers, for God has said, "Upon this rock (meaning Christ and His word) I A man and a woman rowing a boat on a lake. Scene from the wonderful moving picture, "God's Country and the Woman" special Vitagraph production at the Bijou Theatre, Friday, March 16. The management of the Bijou Theatre announces that beginning Friday, March 16, and continuing each Friday thereafter, the colored public of Nashville will have for the first time, the privilege of seeing the great moving picture productions that are shown in other cities at prices ranging from 50c to a dollar. The picture announced for Friday March 16 is the magnificent Vitagraph will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." Taylor failed at Woodson; Sanders at Eagle; and all the rest of the encroachers upon Baptist regularity are bound to fail. The ministers, the real ministers of the Union District and of the state, have in mind but one thing, and that is to do the right, to see to it that they are in harmony with God and the principles of the church, and then proceed, for God will see to it that they come out more than conqueror. Let no one of us resort to wrong to accomplish any purpose whatsoever. Let us see to it that we are right and then go ahead. —The People's Defender. FOOLISH BAPTISTS LED BY FOOLISH LEADER DOING FOOLISH THINGS. That contingent of the Union District Association that split off from the regular association two years ago at Hensley, Ark., which is, as to numbers and intelligence and financial strength and church property, only a fragment of the real association, led by Rev. R. M. Caver hath attempted to do or to play some very high-toned stunts in the circle of Baptists. Rev. Mr. Caver who is moderator and who seems to be, or who desires to be, if the words of those who are following him amount to anything, chief cook and bottlewasher, called the Board meeting a few days ago with the Baptist church of Sweet Home. In said meeting not having anything of a constructive ability, they naturally turned to destructive tactics as would be expected by men of the class following him, and by him as leader. The chief thing that claimed their attention was to adopt an air-tight resolution prohibiting the Baptists of the Progressive movement of the state, to prohibit the majority Baptists of the district from entering into any of their pubils, in fact, if we are rightly informed, the resolution as adopted by them was to the effect that none of the adherents of the Progressive idea in the district, or to be more specific, that none of the so-called Gainesites were to be permitted in the pulpit of any of the so-called Caverites, and that if any of the Caverites were found mingling with the Gainesites, that they were to be drawn up before the high ecclesiastical court composed of Lord Caver and his chief heenchmen, and there severely dealt with. We said to start with "Foolish Baptists following a foolish leader doing foolish things." There is nothing that demonstrates the fool-heartiness of a man in the lead of a people, there is nothing that testifies of his inability and unworthiness to lead more than the little, small, selfish, unmany things accomplished by the body over which he presides. It is extremely foolish for a little crowd of Baptist preachers to attempt to close the pulpit of the Baptist church against real Baptist preachers. It demonstrates two things: first of all their downright stupidity, their downright ignorance; second of all, it demonstrates their downright meanness, their littleness of soul. The fact of it it is, however, that they have but very few churches to close, and so far as the ministers of the real Union District Association is concerned, they have more work than they can do, more churches than they can fill, but the production in eight ports, entitled, "God's Country and the Woman," this picture has not been shown in any city for less than 25c. The management of the Bijou Theatre announces that the admission for the engagement of this picture will be only 10 cents. Following "God's Country on the Woman," the Bijou Theatre announces as its feature Opening Marche on the day of Nation" the stupendous sequent to the "Birth of a Nation." Announcements of future productions will follow in next week's edition of the Globe. whole matter demonstrates to the people that the contentions of the editor of the People's Defender are right. Real Baptist preachers who are right in their contentions and who have God and the Holy Spirit as their great guide have something else to do besides closing pulpits against other Baptist preachers, in fact there is no fundamental doctrine or question at stake that calls for such measures, but foolish leaders will lead the people into any kind of destructive policies, but the people will soon discover it, and turn from them, for Caverism was never weaker than it is today. There is not a first-class man in the whole bunch but what whose heart and mind are turning from their wicked policies. In this regard the Rev. Dr. W. M. Rogers, in whose church the Board meeting was held, is to be congratulated. He would not sustain them in their ignorant diversions from righteousness and so notified them. The Rev. Mr. J. H. Hammond also turned from them and their policies, and as real men recognize the selfishness and wickedness of their dealings, they are bound to seek other associations, for real intelligent gos pel preachers will not stand for such slavery and such wicked methods. —The People's Defender.

If such is to be the order and of the church, then no church can consistently permit any pastor to get behind, for if they do they are in their own light. If a pastor can force himself on the services of a church when he is not able to raise his own salary, and then after years of accumulation, walk out and sue that church and get judgment against that church and sell that church, then that church must see to it that every preacher raises his own salary or his resignation must be forthcoming before a large amount of salary accumulates. It is to be regretted that such a precedence has been established. It is to be regretted that one of the oldest Baptist preachers, one whom the district and church has honored to such an extent could be persuaded to take such an unBaptist step. The suing of a church by a Baptist preacher, to our way of thinking, constitutes an unpardonable error, one for which we doubt much that God is highly indignant. M. B. HON. PERRY W.
