The Sunday School Congress Meets in Nashville, June 13 to 18, 1917. NASHVILLE GLOBE. TO WHOM DOES ROGER WILLIAMS BELONG? IS IT THE PROPERTY OF TENNESSEE BAPTISTS? HOME MISSION SOCIETY DESIRED TO HELP-CHARTER OF INCORPORATION, DEED AND CONVEYANCE VOLUME XII. TO WHOM DOES WILL IS IT THE PROPEE SEE BAR HOME MISSION SOCIETY DES OF INCORPORATION, DE It is not in the interest of fault finders of the "arowning" t that this article is prepared and sent forth, but in the defense of the Trustee Board of Roger Williams University whose integrity and honesty have been assailed and in the interest of the sympathizers and faithful support. of the institution, who are put to doubt as to the ownership of Roger Williams, by designers who display "their intelligence" in an effort to strike a blow at an institution of learning for personal vengeance. The delay on the part of the Trustee Board to reply to the charges made, has not been due to their having "been routed" as has been circulated, but in order that the reply might be conclusive and foreer settle the question as to the ownership of Roger Williams. First, had there been any legal technicalities overlooked in the purchase and transfer of Roger Williams, it should have been excusable, for under the pressure and strain of that stragic time; at that time of transition from Negro freedom as to the burden of running institutions, to Negro responsibility for building and maintaining institutions; at a time of gloom and despondency; and inexperienced, it is marvelous that blunders were made. But the Rome Mission Society was sincere in their desire to help the Negro Baptists of Tennessee to rebuild Roger Williams, their pride, and Rev. Wm. Haynes, "the most influential man in the State at that time" as it is alleged, together with his colleagues, were sincere in placing themselves on the altar of sacrifice to the same end, and therefore one of the best lawyers (white) of Nashville was employed to examine the papers and draw the deeds and so on, and even now when all this stir comes up it is shown that they all "built better than they knew." We are pre-aware now of the no selfish motive, no thought of adulthood, profit ever entered the minds of those who labeled to restore Roger Williams to the Baptists of Tennessee. We are prepared to prove that Roger Williams has, from the beginning of the new institution, and now does belong to the Baptists of Tennessee. We will show that this provision was made from the start. First—The question why we operate under the Charter of the old institution? In the first place it was the desire that the name "Roger Williams" be retained for this institution. Secondly—It was found that the Home Mission Society held in trust certain bequeaths and funes for and in the interest of "Roger Williams University" and for us to remain the beneficiary of those funds we would have to retain the name "Roger Williams University" and operate under the Charter transferred to us by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. Third—there is no necessity for a change of charter not to make an amendment thereto since the Trustees under this charter transferred all their rights and so on to a Board of Trustees elected by the Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, which we show later. The Charter is a "General Welfare Charter" and is as follows: STATE OF TENNESSEE DANIEL W. PHILLIPS of Nash ville, Tennessee. JOHN M. GREGORY, of Chicago Illinois. JABEZ P. DAKE, of Nashville Tennessee. WILLIAM P. JONES, of Nashville Tennessee NELSON G. MERRY, of Nashville Tennessee. RANDLE B. VANDAVELL, of Nashville, Tennessee. are hereby created a body politic and co-operate by the name and style of the "Roger Williams University." The particular purposes for which this charter is sought are: for the support of an institution of Christian education and learning of the grade of a 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 and Art, in the Bible and Theology, and in Normal and other professional and industrial studies, with power to confer degrees; the principal seat of NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." ES ROGER LIAMS BELONG? PERTY OF TENNES- APTISTS? DESIRED TO HELP--CHARTER DEED AND CONVEYANCE said institution to be on the ground now 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. (Here follows the provisions found in a charter of this kind.) [We, the undersigned, apply to the State of Tennessee, by virtue of the laws of the land, for a Charter of Incorporation for the purposes and with the powers, etc., declared in the foregoing instrument.

Nunn, Secretary of State of Tennessee certify that this Charter with certificates attached, the foregoing of which is a true Copy, was this day registered and certified to by me this February 13th, 1883. The following is the action of the Trustee Board in the transfer to the new Board as found in the minutes of meeting held at the rooms of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board, Nashville, Tennessee, October 26, 1907. "Motion of A. B. Hill, that the following persons selected by the Executive Board of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee be elected to fill the place of the present board to take effect when this action is approved by the Corresponding Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. Class 1 retiring in 1910: Wm. Haynes, E. M. Lawrence, W. D. E. Isaac, C. H. Clark, J. L. Harding. Class 2: retiring in 1909: A. M. Townsend, G. H. Bandy, G. B. Taylor, W. S. Ellington, J. E. Evans. Class 3: retiring in 1908. The Gold Executive Board to select others to complete the third class in accordance with the By-laws as amended. Carried. "Moved by Hill, that the Treasurer of this board be authorized and instructed to transfer to the Treasurer of the New Board when properly elected, any and all funds remaining in his hands. Carried." JNO. D. ANDERSON. Secretary. It must be noted that Mr. A. B. Hill is still a member of the Trust Board of Roger Williams University and has been continuously. This show that all the rights of the Trustee Board under the American Baptist Home Mission Society was transferred to the Trustee Board elected by the Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee. It will also be noted with interest that in this transfer there were C. H. Clark, J. L. Harding, and G. B. Taylor. It follows therefore that whatever of insurance was in display, whatever of fraud was in purpose, whatever of legal blunder was made, that these as well were "particeeps Criminals," if there were any. Now as to the deeds. It is a fact that the property on which Roger Williams University now stands was at first deeded to the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the considera- NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1917. tion being $10,000. One half of which was paid by the Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee. In the deed from the Society to Roger Williams University it is plainly stated that "for the convenience and purposes of the parties in interest the title to said property was taken in the name of "The American Baptist Home Mission Society." Specifically, it is not stated why this was done, but one reason is, and in itself is sufficient, that the Convention at that time could not hold property under the laws of Tennessee, and so this course was taken under proper legal advice. The Home Mission Society then in fee simple transferred the property to Roger Williams University as an entity, for a consideration of one dollar, thus divorcing itself from the institution save as provided in the deed for its protection as its interest may appear in case of dissolution. Under no other condition did we expect, could we expect, or do we now expect the Home Mission Society to put out the money placed into their hands as Trustees. The following is the deed of transf er from the Home Mission Society to Roger Williams University: This instrument witnesseth as follows: Whereas, The property hereinafter described has been purchased by the American Baptist Home Mission Society and The Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee for the sum TEN THOUSAND ($10 [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit].

Whereas, Said property was purchased by said organization for the purpose of establishing and conducting on said premises a school, college or university for Negro education under the auspices of said Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, which organization is the State Convention or Association of the Negro Baptist Churches of the State of Tennessee. And. Whereas, Said organization in order to carry out the purposes above mentioned desire to transfer said property to Roger Williams University, a corporation chartered under the laws of the State of Tennessee, for the benefit of which institution said property was purchased by said organization, and. Whereas. For the convenience and purposes of the parties in interest, the title to said property was taken in the name of The American Baptist Home Mission Society, a corporation chartered under the laws of the State of New York, having its home office in the City of New York in said State; now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and of ONE (1.00) DOLAR, cash in hand paid, the receipt of which is acknowledged.

Church, and discoursed excellent and appropriate music in line of march, and at the church during the services, assisted by the St. Paul Choir. The choir rendered anthems, solos, and songs appropriate for the occasion. E. L. Kizer a brilliant young man, and member of St. Paul Church and of the Whitfield Progressive Lodge No. 477, I. O.

He declared that the Immaculate Order is a credit to the ability and genius of the race, and that race pride should make it spread out in this city and state. A liberal collection was taken, after which the Grand Master made complimentary remarks and introduced a new department known as Emergency Bureau to aid old and disabled Immaculates who are unable to keep themselves financial in the order. This feature was adopted by the Grand Lodge on recommendation of the Grand Master, J. W. Whitfield. This announcement was greeted with great aplause. Benediction by Rev. Stevens of Clark Memorial M. E. Church. subject to the following conditions: (1) Said property shall never be mortagaged except with the consent of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. (2) In the event property shall cease to be used for the purpose of Negro education under the auspices and control of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee, then in that event an interest in the American Baptist Home Mission Society, which interest shall be in the same proportion to the whole property as the total amount --- that shall have been paid at such time by The American Baptist Home Mission Society for the purchase and improvement of said property, shall bear to the total sum which shall at that date have been expended for the purchase and improvement of said property from all sources. In witness whereof, The American Baptist Home Mission Society has caused its corporate name to be signed hereto and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed by its Corresponding Secretary and its Treasurer, at its office in the City of New York this 4th day of March 1908. THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION SOCIETY. By Henry L. Morehouse, Corres ponding Secretary. STATE OF NEW YORK CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. Before me, S. H. Goodacre, a Notary Public in and for the State and County aforesaid personally appeared H. L. Morehouse and F. T. Moulton, with whom I am personally acquainted, and who upon their oath acknowledged themselves to be the Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the within bargainer, a corporation, and they as such Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer respectively, being authorized so to do executed the foregoing instrument for the purposes therein contained by singing the name of the corporation by themselves as such Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer, and affixing the seal of the corporation thereto. Witness my hand and official seal at office, in the City and County of New York, this 19th day of March 1908. S. H. GOODACRE. Notary Public New York County. It is alleged that the Convention paid five thousand (5,000) Dollars or one half the purchase price of the site for Roger Williams but in the event of a dissolution of Roger Williams the Convention would have no redress. That the Home Mission Society made provision to get back what it might put into the institution, but that no provision is made for the Convention to get back what it puts in. The Convention's interest has been provided for in By-laws that were agreed upon and adopted by both the Board of Trustees and the Convention. 1. We quote here only Article 2, 11 and 12 which touch the question at issue. ARTICLE II. The Board of Trustees shall be elected by the Executive Board of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee. Of the Board first so elected, five shall be elected for three years; five for two years; and five for one year. The said Executive Board hereafter elect annually five members of the Board of Trustees, who hold office for three years in place of those whose terms in office will be replaced. Those retiring from office shall be replaced re-election. The said Executive Board elect persons to fill vacancies in the Board of Trustees caused by death, resignation or otherwise. ARTICLE IX. All lands, tenements, possessions and property, real and personal, and all invested funds for endowment or other purposes, belonging to Roger Williams University, and all gifts, devises and bequeaths made thereon, shall be held in trust by the Board of Trustees for the Negro Baptist denomination of Tennessee which is and shall be legally represented by the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee. ARTICLE XII The Board of Trustees shall not sell, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any lands, tenements or other property, or any invested funds, gifts, devices or bequeaths, without the consent and authority of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee; such consent and authority must be given by the vote of the Convention at a regular annual meeting, notice of which and of the matter to be voted upon must be published in the leading Negro Baptist papers of Tennessee one month before action is taken; and a copy of such vote certified by the President and Secretary of the Convention must be entered upon the record of the Board of Trustees before the consent and authority can be legally acted upon. It is evident therefore that by this action the Board of Trustees bound itself by agreement to be subject to the behests of the Tennessee Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention. The Board of Trustees hereby waived its right to self-perpetuation and the minutes of the Tennessee Missionary and Education Convention for each year will show that the new members of the Board of Trustees have been elected in the manner aforesaid by the Convention through its Executive Board. This agreement and relation between the Board of Trustees, and the Convention has been understood, and has operated without the least friction. There has been no effort on the part of the Board to perpetuate itself. The Board has made recommendations to the Convention for those who have served their offices well and for appointments to fill vacancies, with no idea of self-perpetuation, but because it known those whose connection with the Board would best serve the interest of the Convention and the institution. The Board has recognized that strained relationships might come between the Convention and the Board of Trustees, and that the Board of Trustees under such might attempt to MT. OLIVE BAPT.

MT. OLIVE BAPT SCHOOL RALLY TOTAL AMOUNT DOLLAR MISS KATIE A. BOYD, LEAD REPORTS set up its Charter right, even in the face of custom and long usage becoming a law and binding, and hence the answer to Mr. Harding's question. Why do so many of the present Trustees of Roger Williams University on the Charter of this new Convention, the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention? "Ta true that the moving spirits of the Trustee Board of Roger Williams University are also prominently connected with the Tennessee Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention, and as members of the Board of Trustees, in order that they may pass to generations yet unborn an heritage not blighted with selfishness; and heritage which shall not be blotted with even one spot of personal gain at the expense of the denomination; an heritage with noble sacrifice with not a tinge of dishonesty; and in order that the Tennessee Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention with its constituency of 190,000 might be at ease, in order to forever set at rest the frantic efforts and feigned doubts of contrivers and evil designers, yea, in order that the Tennessee Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention may never be denied a breach of trust on the part of this creature and be planned into a long strung out lawsuit to come into possession of its own, the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University recommended to the Convention to become legally Chartered so that its power to own property might not be questioned. This was done and the Trustees of Roger Williams University made legal and forever binding their agreement by the following Conveyance: CONVEYANCE NOW. Therefore, in consideration of One ($1.00) Dollar and of the premises aforesaid, and in consideration of the further promises of said Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention to aid annually and regularly Roger Williams University, in conducting, supporting and maintaining an institution of learning for Negroes upon the property herein MR.

Olive Baptist Church on Cedar street, of which the Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., is the pastor, the school has improved in every way. The school now has a General Superintendent, a Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent and tour Superintendents of Departments. During the last Teacher Training session a greater number of the teachers finished some department of the service and Mt. Olive now has a corps of teachers fully qualified to fill their places. Under the direction of the General Superintendent, Mr. C. Clark, and the Superintendent, Mr. G. P. Baker, a rally was begun three weeks ago in the Sunday school department, which culminated Sunday. Sunday MISS KATIE A. BOYD. Mexican General. Reported $65. being Go-to-Sunday-School Day all over the United States, the auditorium began filling at 9:30 o'clock and from that time till dismission a steady stream of people arrived. To make the occasion a novelty, different from just an ordinary Sunday school rally, the superintendent divided the school into two factions, the American and Mexican armies. Miss Willa Mae Rucker was commander-in-chief of the American side and Miss Katie A. Boyd had charge of the Mexican army. Mrs. Genie Patterson was captain of the Mexican army and Mrs. Doughlas served in the same capacity on the American. Each army had its muscats in the persons of little G. P. Baker and Helen Dunson on the Mexican side and Little Robert Polk and Mary D. Wade on the American side. Each army had bright and beautiful. The decorating committee with Mrs. H. A. Boyd as chairman had beautified the Sunday school room and Hias, ferus, flas, hyacinthus and the National colors greeted the members and visitors upon their arrival. Master George Gore and Mrs. Edith Smith with American flags in their hands welcomed every one at the door. After an interesting program the money was counted and it developed that the Mexicans had whipped the Americans. Miss Boyd's slide reported $85, and Miss Rucker $15, making a total of $80. Immediately after the announcements of the results the efforts of these two young ladies, Miss Boyd was crowned queen of Easter. When Sunday school was dismissed the picture of the Sunday school was taken by Lay Brothers. Every department of the church is taking on new life. The great Sunday School Congress will convene with us this year and organization in the church is determined that the healer of the old historic structure shall not trail in the dust. One the 15th, 19th and 20th of April the United Society of the Church will give baskets which will be a success from present indications in every way. The young people under the tutelage and supervision of Mrs. H. A. Boyd have excellent programs planned for two nights. The Boy Cadets are planning to give one night a dramatized version of Long-follow's "Building of the Ship." The choir is planning to start to work on some special music in the immediate future. It has been surely a treat to have General Secretary Caldwell, of Allen C. E. work in attendance at the recent conferences and some of the churches. This ought to be a help in inspiration and new ideas for work, enough help to last the loyal Allen Leaguers many months of activity in the future. --- 2 HAD SMOTHERING SPELLS AT NIGHT Suffered With Asthma For Five Years Was In Bad Shape LUNG-VITA GAVE RELIEF Did The Work After All Else HAD FAILED.

Their presence and their help were greatly appreciated. It is a fine thing for the work and workers for the ministers to be right in the midst of these meetings. It gives tone and authority to the work for them to be present. The president recommended that we organize an armour-bearer club under the auspices of the Union, which was readily received and adopted. More than twenty, were enrolled as members. Our president is an earnest worker full of faith and good works. She is hoping and praying that the Union will raise her mission fund to one hundred dollars this year, and we suppose it will be clear as she usually gives what she asks for. Friday night the following program was reordered: Chorus, Foster's Chapel Choir; paper on Missions, Mrs Gene Patterson; solo, Miss Retta Mai Bolden; paper, Woman's Worth to the world, Mrs. J. L. Harding; recitation, Master G. B. Bolden; chorus by choir; declamation, Reaching the Goal, Miss Pansy Baines; duet, Mamas Datson and Talley; recitation, Miss Marina Brooks. The program was followed by an able sermon preached by Rev. G. B. Bolden. Last but not least, during recess the members of the Union were escorted to the Sunday school room, where an excellent menu had been prepared and was served by the ladies of Foster's Chapel. FORWARD QUEST GIRLS. Miss Estella Haskin of the Bethlehem House spoke to the club Saturday in their regular monthly Educational Meting. Her subject "An Unselmish Life" was enjoyed and appreciated. A vote of thanks and an invitation to return was given her by the girls. The next meeting is spiritual, you are cordially invited. The history of the club from 1912 to 1916 is just off the press and an effort is being made to get them into the hands of as many people as possible. Miss Roberta Chavis, a leave of absence member has returned from College Grove where she has been teaching. Miss Matie Mays who has ben ill, is reported better. FIRESIDE SCHOOLS The Fireside School workers entertained the young people of New Hope, Tabernacle and Third Ave. Baptist Churches, on Friday night. A most enjoyable evening was spent by those present, with much fun and merriment. After engaging in various "stunts" a brief program was given by the guests of the evening. Miss Katie Walker of Tabernacle Church gave a recitation entitled "Saved". Mr. W. C. Sheffield of New Hope Church sang twice. After refreshments were served, Miss Ada F. Morgan, superintendent of the Fireside Schools, made brief remarks. This is the last of the social evenings for the young people of the various Baptist churches for this season. These occasions have been most help been enjoyed, but the better mutual acquaintance has been a strengthening of Christian fellowship. In this as in all else, it is the desire of the Fireside School workers that God may be glorified and His cause extended. Good reports come in from the Fireside School workers out on the field. Both Mrs. Rayner and Mrs. Griggsby write interestingly and enthusiastically of their experiences. Through their efforts much good is being accomplished and Fireside School plans are being extended Mrs. Rayner is in Arkansas and Mrs. Griggsby is in Alabama. ST. LUKE'S A. M. E. CHURCH.

Springfield, Mo.-Gibson Chapel Presbyterian Church, Institutional, is one of the most progressive churches in the country. Under its present leadership this church has enlarged its social vision and is now addressing itself to the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual needs of the community. It is assuming a positive attitude towards conditions and directing the people to what they shall do rather than what they shall not do. With its numerous departments, it is creating an atmosphere and entering into the life and environment of the individual. At present the church is operat- ing an Kindergarten, an Employment and Labor Bureau, a Domestic Science and Art Department, Library and Free Reading Room, Gymnasium and Physical Culture Classes, Free Medical Clinics Sunshine and Relief Mission and Public Play Grounds. The pastor of this modern aggressive institution is Rev. Arthur E. Rankin, who was called to this work about two years ago. Rev. Rankin is a native of North Carolina and received his training in the A. & M. College of that state. Lincoln University of Pensylvania, and Auburn Theological Seminary, of Auburn, N. Y. Rev. Rankin has succeeded in bringing to his co-operation a Board of Directors consisting of nine of the most prominent citizens of Suffolk, who act in an advisory capacity, and who provide a fund carry on these institutional features. At present the church is operated with the following staff: A Matron and Community Visitor, Kindergarten the Worker and Secretary, Domestic Science and Art Teacher, a Librarian and a Boy's Worker. Led by their pastor, this church touches the life of the whole city; and besides the duties entailed with the church, the pastor has found time to act as special investigator of all charitable cases for the City Charities and to take charge of and stand sponsor for all juvenile delinquents, and to direct a Sociological Survey of the whole city which has just been carried out by the Ministers' Alliance. Springfield is very enthusiastic over the work that Gibson Chapel is doing, and all classes are heartily co-operating in the work. It simply goes to show that the people only await intelligent direction and that they are ready to respond when such direction is found. The church has established a community LYceum Course and has brought to Springfield this past year such well known artists as Clarence Cameron White, Roland W. Hayes, Clyde Lye Rocery Glass, and later on will have as speaker Bishop L. W. Kyles, Dean Lake limes, of the Tuskegee Institute, and has just closed a very successful series of evangelical meetings, during which time he had more than forty conversions. Noon-day meetings were held in the pool halls and railroad shops and other places, and much new interest was awakened in religion and religious activities.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION OF HADLEY SCHOOL SENDS GREETINGS TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE ASSOCIATION, Which Assembled Here April 5, 6 and 7, 1917. Subject: "How Home and School May Exert a Helpful Co-operation." First, by attendance on the part of parents and teachers. The greatest demand of the world today is co-operation, and if parents would visit the schools more and inquire into the needs and conditions of their children they would help to make the schools better and help the teachers their efforts to benefit boy or girl. Fathers and mothers would be prepared for the best home-making and child-nurture. Association and persistence wi co-operation. Let us attend and inspect our teachers with helpful and constructive criticisms if we have at any all. Another matter that would effect the welfare of your child outside home and school, and with these united efforts we would arouse the community to the sense of its responsibility in the interest of their children; and with home and school equipped to do their work effectively and with co-operation none of the reformary agencies would be needed. Third, by contributing toward the financial support of the objects of interest of the association. Truly we know no organization succeeds without funds, and for this reason Hadley School teachers are busy today planning some means by which they can be of some assistance. Fourth, by uniting to enlist the interest of the uninterested. If we as mothers come together and unite our efforts, we would arouse the community in such a way that there would be no doubt of a large enrollment. Fifth, by making the purpose and object of the association better known. They are giving aid to parents who would be unable to retain their children in regular attendance throughout school term. They are bringing home and school closer to together; they are doing a splendid work in every community where there is interest shown among parents. Now, let us show greater interest in our next big meeting which will be held Friday evening. April the 27th, 1917, at 2 p.m. in Hadley school building. We want a progressive parent-teacher association. We want an enthusiastic parent-teacher association. Let us be a little kinder. Let us be a little blinder to the faults of those about us. Let us praise a little more. Let us be when we are weary, just a little bit more cheery. Let us serve a little better those whom we are striving for. STATE NORMAL NEWS. A. and I.

NEW YORK YORK MISNLED-DR. EDW. P. JONES RIGHT IN THE GEORGIA ODD FELLOWS' CONTROVERSY. Col. Fred R. Moore, the able editor of the New York Age, is known throughout the United States for his willingness to be fair at all times with his fellows, and under no conditions we are sure would he mistake acts relative to Dr. Jones of Mississippi. In the last issue of the Age, there appeared an article signed by "An Odd Fellow" in which it was alleged that Dr. Henry Allen Beyd and the many friends of Dr. Jones throughout the United States who are rejoicing and commending Hon. B. J. Davis in his recent triumph were thereby condemning the course of Dr. Jones while a member of the highest court of Odd Fellows in America. The conviction of the writer of the article presumably reached the conclusion that Dr. Jones as a member of the court had voted to withdraw the charter and to expel Col. Davis, such is not the truth. It is true, however, that in January, 1916, Dr. Jones as a member of the S. C. of M., heard all of the evidence and pleadings in the case, but we deny that he voted to suspend Col. Davis or to revoke the charter of the Georgia corporation. We have no authority to speak for Dr. Jones, but we know our grounds and we challenge any man in America to produce facts to the contrary. Dr. Jones was opposed to the course pursued by the S. C. of M., and we have heard from reliable sources that he stood upon the floor of the S. C. of M., and contended and eloquently plead that Davis was guilty of no wrong and that it would be travesty upon justice to thus strike down fully 75,000 loyal members of the rider. O He voted the distates of his conscience and that his position was correct, has been upheld in no uncertain manner by the Supreme Court of Georgia. Dr. Jones is consistent and his friends throughout the United States who are delighted at the success of Col. Davis are simply following in the pathway of his great intelligence. He knew then as he has argued throughout the entire country that jealousy in its maddened frenzy bites like an adder and seeks to destroy the constructor. Dr. Jones has been Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of Mississippi for twenty years, and during that time through the Endowment Bureau has paid out more than five million dollars to the widows and orphans of Mississippi and his inclinations were justly and righteously for the salvation of the Grand Lodge of Georgia. We insist that the brother who styles himself "An Odd Fellow" will acquaint himself with the record be fore he again undertakes to give information upon matters of such vital concern. —The People's Defender. 523 Second Avenue, North WANTED Three First Class Printers Experienced Men Only Need Apply NATIONAL BAPT.-PUB. BOARD 522 Second Ave., N. MASNVILLE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY APRIL 13, 1917. Every other man you meet these days seems to be in a fighting mood. This is true both in church and state. Well, from the tone of President Wilson's message to Congress and the action taken by that body at his solicitation it would seem that every man who wants to fight is going to have an early opportunity to gratify his ambition. That is, unless Germany pulls down and shows the white feather; and this is so out of harmony with her pugilistic nature and record until nobody is expecting it. One million men wanted for the army. It may be that the large following of the few willful leaders (as suggested by the editor of the Vanguard) of the Progressive Baptists of the state and district will soon desert their leadership and return to the old line Baptist and submit their necks again to the yoke of the old bosses and their backs to the lashes of the old religious tyrants. If so all present indications will have to fail, for both leaders and followers of the progressive movement are preparing at this very moment to pull off one of the greatest "Get-together Meetings" in the history of the Baptists in this state. In fact there are thousands of Baptists in the state who will never again march to the music of the old leaders of which the editor of the Vanguard is a little chief. They and their leaders, like Jonathan and David, are inseparable No, brother, do not deceive yourself. The men and women who left you will not be back. They got enough of you before they left. Not only the leaders but the people are tired of you. You need not try to soft soap them; they will not be at you encampment nor at any other gering in which you take a leading part. They have enough of you. —The People's Defender. WHY I AM NOT WITH THE OLD STATE CONVENTION. In October 1915, the Union District Association met at Hensley, there a small minority after Dr. D. B.

NEW YORK office, Post and Proof Chicago office, Proof and Proof Interim Building Austin office, Proof and Proof Philadelphia office, Proof and Proof Independent Life Building Corporate Building MAGAZINE NATIONAL NEWS PRESS ASSOCIATION Mashille, Tenn. April 13, '17 AN OLD-FASHIONED FARMER. A farmer from Montgomery County in the city last week was somewhat surprised at the complaints he saw in the papers concerning a shortage of foodstuffs. There was no shortage, he said, in his part of the country and every one had plenty to eat. He said that that might be due to the fact that in his neighborhood they had stuck to the old ways. He had killed his hogs and salted down the meat the same as he had done for twenty-five years and his wife had packed away eggs as she always did, so that they had had plenty all winter long. He had put away enough potatoes for the family and for seed. He had a 2-year old steer, cornfed and fat enough for slaughter, which would furnish fresh beef for the spring and dried beef for the summer. There was a lot of cabbages where he had buried them fast fall, which would be fresh and nice when the ground thawed out. He had wheat in the bin which he could take to mill and have ground any time. There was a nice flock of chickens around the barn and they had chicken to eat whenever they wanted it during the winter. To help the people in the towns he had raised and sold 200 bushels of wheat, about 500 bushels of corn, seven fat steers and forty-two head of hogs and his wife had sent into town a whole lot of butter and eggs. Everybody near him had plenty to eat as well as those in the little town nearby, and he could not understand what all this fuss was about. He said that if the farmers in other parts had stuck to the old fashioned ways, instead of living on packing house products and canned goods, there would be no trouble anywhere. He was shown an agricultural department circular advising farmers to pack down eggs and put up their own meat. His reply was "Any fool ought to know that much without waiting for the government to tell him." LET EVERY ONE DO HIS PART. Let every man and woman resolve to do his or her part in prosecuting the war. Let everyone remember that each part is as necessary as any other and civilian work just as honorable as that of those on the firing lines. The British have a phrase, "doing my bit," which does not strike as pleasantly the American ear as "doing my part" does. Your part may not be firing a gun or directing an aeroplane; but it is just as essential to victory, for without it the guns could not be fired or the aeroplanes maneuvered. The one who plants corn and potatoes sows wheat or oats is doing his part, and just as necessary and honorable a part as the man who maneuvers an aeroplane or operates a machine gun. The woman who prepares the food in such a manner that the workers in the field may be strong and vigorous is doing her part and it is just as important as that of any other member of the great army that will fight for government by consent of the governed in all parts of the world. The educator and men of science who can show the workers how to increase their output are doing their part and a very important part it is. OUR OLD FRIENDS We spent Sunday in South Pittsburgh with a jolly bunch of friends. Among them were Luther Cummings, Dr. W. J. Astrapp, Bill Robertson, Will Douglas, James Kilgore and Anderson Buchanan. We had plenty of "eats" and to spare. Kilgore made it very pleasant for us; he tried to find some "fish bait", but failed. Kilgore says all we have to do hereafter is apprise him of a visit so that he may have plenty of "fish bait" for our pleasure. Old Bill Robertson kept us away from Sunday school by telling us that he knew where there was plenty of fishing material, but Bill failed to find it. Oh, Gloom! You bet your life Luther Cumming came to the rescue quite nobly. Oh, Joy! Anderson Buchanan and Mr. Astrapp saw that we were bountifully fed every hour. Here is to the friends of South Pittsburg, they are true blue. The Limekil Club—having advised that the Negroes are loyal we are assured that the country is safe. There was an undisguised sigh of relief in Washington when they were apprised of the enlistment of Henry Cameron. "From Coporal to Colonel" should be the shiboleth of every Negro. Besides, you are not unmindful that you owe the Y. M. C. A. the balance of your pledge. Suppose you attend to this matter at your earliest convenience. Well, the Negro is awaiting your pleasure, Mr. President, what do you want us to do? If Prof. Bill Allen ever gets to the celestial world, St. Peter will have to widen the gates of heaven by a foot or two. Purely as a matter of information, if one really wants to enlist as a private in the army, does he go to the president of the United States or to a recruiting sergeant? Patriotism is passionate at times, but passionate patriotism is not always the kind that lasts longest or goes farthest. Speaking about sure signs of spring, what about that cat fight under your window at the midnight hour? It is interesting to recall that the United States settled its trouble with Spain without an aftermath of hate. Militarists and pacifists alike are prone to get a lot of egotism mixed with a little patriotism. The passing of Leut means the passing of meatless days. If the war keeps up, we may not have to wait until next Leut for another period of meatless days. Money talks, and in the immediate future it may talk as patriotically as any of the politicians. If that New York tango murder did nothing else of value, it contributed to the national vocabulary one term of high descriptive force—"lounge lizards." Graft has been found in the Vienna cabinet. Whew! What a relief! The Teutons are human. All danger that our gold holdings, now the greatest in the world's history, will be increased to an alarming level may be considered past. Preparedness expenditures have been jolting, but war expenditures will be stunning. If you find a man who is strongly against prohibition, you probably will find a man in whose case prohibition has not been wholly effective. An April "leak" never requires a congregational investigation. Every day may he patriot's day by and by. Has absolutism been overthrown in Petrograd? Ab-so-lute-ly! Senator Vardaman's explanation that he didn't stand up because he didn't recognize "The Star Spangled Banner" is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go very far. If you don't think well of your country and its president, keep quiet about it until the war is over and normal conditions are restored. Then you can storm enough to make up for lost time. "I will fight. When do you want me?" wires Jess Willard to the president. Why not tell it in person to the nearest recruiting officer, Jess? It seems good to have old Uncle Sam buckle on his armor to fight for freedom, if only for freedom of the seas. Germany scarcely has a friend left aside from her allies. After the war she probably can number these among her enemies. Hereafter when the roll is called in the senate Mr. La Follette can answer "Herr!" Evidently the antidote to pacifism is a good, swift punch to the jaw. NORTH SIDE SOCIAL CLUB. The North Side Social Club met at the residence of Miss Mattie McGavock, 1200 Jefferson street.

MASONS BUY UP-TOWN PROERTY. HAVE ORGANIZED HALL ASSOCIATION, LODGES TAKING STOCK. BUILDING TO COST $10,000. LOCATED ON FOURTH AVE., N. NEAR ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK. MAKES NEW HOLDINGS ABOUT $50,000 HERE IN NASH-VILLE. Knight Templars, Masonics and Eastern Star gathered at Lea Avenue Christian Church Sunday in an Easter sermon and exercises under the leadership of their gallant local officers. With plumes and helmets, encouraged by beautiful Easter Day, the parade traversed the principal streets of the city and attracted much attention. Quite a neat sum of attention, and the chapter after the preliminary exercises had been carried out. All interest centered in the religious services which had been programmed, and for which every lodge in the city had received official notice from the Grand Master to participate in. Past Eminent Commander, Preston Tayrol, acted as master of ceremonies. The principal speaker of the day was Grand Master S. M. Strayhorn, who electrified the audience with propelling a fall of the propriety of propagating Masonry in the present as well as abhor generations. He was highly cheered as he closed his address. Another prominent worker in the Masons who was active was Grand Secretary T. B. Hardiman. At the close of the sermon it was announced that the Hall Association would hold a meeting forthwith, as plans are already perfected and the transfer drawn up by which the Masons will publish a plan for them in the heart of the city. It is located just opposite the One Cent Savings Bank and is to cost $10,000. The bottom floor of the hall is to be used for offices, the second story for the meeting rooms of the Eastern Star, while the third floor is to be used as a lodge room for the Masons. There will be, so it is said, six lodge rooms. The consumation matter of the deal is said to give Masons the building of more than $50,000 in the city of Nashville leading all other fraternal organizations.

It sounded the keynote for a successful service. The wholesome admonitions given by him evidently go straight home to the hearts of those who hear them. He keeps up with increasing power and effectiveness; a plain yet forceful message of love is Skelton is one of the alleghani evangelists in the field. He is persuasive and wonderfully convincing in presenting the message of everlasting life. He appeals to reason and not to the emotions of his hearers. He is not a sensationalist.

It is requested that in all the churches pastors preach on the subject of "Family Religion" emphasizing the importance of Bible study in the home and the sustaining of the family altar. During Sister Moore's life time the future support and continuance of the work when she had to lay it down was often in her mind. At these services an offering for the support of the Flieside Schools will be taken, as an expression of love and appreciation for the one who gave herself so unreservedly for theulp of the people. These offerings are being raised to ensure the permanent support of the cause founded by Sister Joanna P. Moore and to which she gave her life. PROF. WALTER S. BUCHANAN, A. M. Ph. D.

LOVETT'S VIEWS "Unification of Regulation Is Essential." A Complete, Harmonious, Consistent and Related System Needed—Federal Incorporation of Railroads by General Law Favored. Washington, March 26.—Responsibility for the railway development of the country, for providing necessary transportation facilities to care for the growing business and population of the country, now rests largely with congress and not entirely with the railroad managers. This was the statement of Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the executive committee of the Union Pacific system, to the Newlands joint congressional committee when that body resumed its inquiry into the subject of railroad regulation this week. In making this statement of the changed conditions of the railroad situation Judge Lovett undoubtedly had in mind the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson law, handed down last week, which establishes the right of the federal government to fix railroad wages and to prevent strikes. This decision is regarded by railroad men and lawyers as marking an epoch in the development of transportation in the United States. "We have our share of responsibility," said Judge Lovett, "but it rests primarily on congress. When the government regulates the rates and the financial administration of the railroads, the borrowing of money and the issuance of securities it relieves the railroad officers of the responsibility of providing and developing transportation systems, except within the limits of the revenue that can be realized from such rates and under such restrictions. "For a country such as ours, for a "people situated as we are, to blunder along with a series of unrelated, inconsistent, conflicting statutes enacted by different states without relation to each other, instead of providing a complete and carefully prepared system of regulation for a business that is so vital to the life of the nation, is worse than folly." He summed up the present problems and difficulties of the railroads as follows: First.—The multiplicity of regulations by the several states with respect to the issue of securities, involving delays and conflict state policies generally dangerous and possibly disastrous. Second.—The state regulation of rates in such a manner as to unduly reduce revenues, to discriminate in favor of localities and shippers within its own borders as against localities and shippers in other states and to disturb and disarrange the structure of interstate rates. Third.—The inability of the Interstate Commerce Commission, whoover the commissioners may be, to perform the vast duties devolving upon it under existing laws, resulting in delay—which should never occur in commercial matters—and compelling the commissioners to accept the conclusions of their employees as final in deciding matters of great importance to the commercial and railroad interests of the country. Fourth.—The practical legality that has been accorded conspicuities to tie up and suspend the operation of the railroads of the country by strikes and violence and the absence of any law to compel the settlement of such disputes by arbitration or other judicial means, as all other issues between citizens in civilized states are to be settled. Fifth.—The phenomenal increase in the taxation of railroads in recent years. Sixth.-The cumulative effect of these conditions upon the investing public, to which railroad companies must look for the capital necessary to continue development. "We believe that the unification of regulation is essential," said Judge Lovett, "and that with the rapid increase of state commissions in recent years congress will in time be compiled to exercise its power in the premises. To unify regulation there should be a complete, harmonious, consistent and related system. We believe the best, if not the only practical plan, is the federal incorporation of railroads by general law, which will make incorporation thereunder compulsory, thus imposing on all railroad companies throughout the United States the same corporate powers and restrictions with respect to their financial operations and the same duties and obligations to the public and the government, so that every investor will know precisely what every railroad corporation may and may not lawfully do." Judge Lovett contended that the solution of these problems and difficulties rested with congress. He told the committee that under the constitution the authority of the federal government is paramount, that congress has the power to legislate for a centralized control of railroads under federal charaters and that it only remains for that body to exercise that power. THE COLORED MAN AND HIS PART IN WAR. Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D. This is a question that seems to be going the rounds more and more every day. It is a matter of peculiar interest—the finding by the black man of his station in such a time as this when a foreign nation is threatening the invasion of our shores. Let us admit the colored man has had his troubles, especially local troubles, but having had these troubles does not divorce him from his citizenship unless he has committed a felony and has been con- All Steel Equipment.

C. victed by a jury therefor and sentenced to the penitentiary or to penal servitude. But in the light of reason and refinement the race has not committed felony as a race and therefore are citizens. This is true the colored man will always be a citizen of the United States and whatever affects America affects the colored man. War on the American people is war on the colored man. As citizens of America, we are unseparable from those who and go to the colored man of American citizenship; generally speaking, that which is of interest to one citizen is on interest to the other. White men and black men were born and reared together upon this continent and there are ties which bind them, politically, and commercially, together in this country that can never be broken. We observe by a perusal of past history that this country has had no wars in which the black man did not share and do his part. In the war of the Revolution he shed the first blood. He was less able to shed blood then than he is today and yet his blood was in the well-known of the Boston Commons. In the war of 1812, he bravely did his part; and in the civil war he bravely fought upon the fields of battle and stayed there until the victory was won. Then in the Spanish-American War he won laurels there and rung victory from the hands of the enemies of this country and swung Old Glory to the breezes until the nation was satisfied. In all the warring factions in this country he has been in evidence and today he cannot escape the war clouds if he would. In fact our colored troops, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments and 24th Infantry Regiments have been in the Army of the United States for more than forty years. So it can clearly be seen that the Negroes belong to a fighting race and every peril of this country has for some time on and on the side of battle mining blast and sweat with the dust. And now when a foreign nation has put its war dogs barking and howling upon the American track, the Negro will answer the challenge and help bring victory upon the side of right and justice and America will still be the home of the free and the end of the brave. This is his country. He has never been a foe to America but has always done his part for this great government. Under adverse circumstances he has always stood for America. While we deplore war and all of its deplorable details and results, yet if fight we must, we feel it our duty to say to our people in this country that our interests and our country's interests are one. There is nothing common to the Americans that is not common to us, and when the American homes, lands and industries are protected the homes and industries are the Negroes own protected; for the Negroes own millions of dollars' worth of property and whatever is done to protect the homes and industry of the white race will be done to protect the homes and property of the colored men. I hate war, but when our government gives command to shoulder arms, I believe that the Negroes should not attempt to shield themselves from the task. This is a time when every American citizen should stand shoulder to shoulder and uphold the hands of our President who has worked hard to keep this country out of war. But a foreign power has shown the invoye of our allies and others are. We have a country just as others have and our interests are the same as others'. Therefore let's be loyal to our government, for some day soon or late right will be upon the throne and wrong with all his horrors will be dethroned and SR THE INDUSTRIAL & AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT MASSENGER CARRYING SER- COMPLETE Special Kansas City-Florida Augusta Special Bike Special New York and New and Chattanooga Limited Important Trains To and From G Service Is Convenient and Com- Coaches, Dining Cars, Pullman LIVES THE SOUTH Southern Railway operates all of which is located in the South in eleven dif- ferent of Columbia.

Flagg for her earnest and successful management of the portrayal of "The Captain of Plymouth," which was cleverly enacted at the Bjou剧 last Tuesday night. All of the participants were members of the Minnehaha Club a club that is worthy of the high amount of congratulations for their alms along literary lines. To only say that the performance was good would be a mild way of putting. It was really great and reflected much credit upon the performers. Misses B. Madeline Carter, Leon Saunders, Ruth B. Allison and Messrs. R. Ashe and A. L. Robinson were easily the stars of the affair. We are always pleased to see the good work of our local talent, for there are many among us who could spring forth a surprise if they were given an opportunity. Our hats are off to Miss Flagg and the Minnehaha Club. THE STAR THEATRE An unusually large crowd has taken advantage of the pleasant weather of the last few days to get out and see the high class pictures shown at the Star. The photo-plays now displayed at this popular house are now really beginning to be the talk of the town. Two high class motion pictures were put on last week, "Patria" in which Mrs. Vernon Castle was the star, and the first episode of the new Path serial "The mystery of the Double Cross," in which Leon Barry, formerly Sarah Bernhardts leading man. The Star knows what to give to please. Mr. T. Clay Moore, who is the "power behind the throne" is a clever business manager, congenial and pleasant at all times, making his presence there quite an asset toward winning and keeping patronage for the house. Get in the habit of attending the Star, for it is the Movie house that you will eventually attend. THE BLJOU The Bijon is still showing high-class pictures and the people turn out largely each day and night to see the photo-plays. "Society night," every Friday, continues to be popular and some feature picture is shown. The Bijon Orchestra, lead by Lewis Mitchell proves to be an added attraction. The Bijon management presents to their patrons only the best which proves to be the great thing in their favor. THE ALPINE This little movie house out on Jefferson street, continues to remain popular with their many patrons. Mr. Boger, the enterprising manager sees to it that only high class and instructive photo-plays are shown. Really you ought to get into the habit of attending the Alpine at least one night a week. You will never regret the pleasant hour of amusement and instruction that you spend there. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. The Quality Amusement Corporation with a picked company presented the Cohn musical comedy, "Fifty Miles from Boston" all last week at Howard. The Ladies Orchestra, directed by Mrs. Pearl Gibson closed their nine weeks engagement at the Howard on Sunday night and returned to New York City. They have given eminent satisfaction and have been warmly appreciated by Washingtonians during their stay. The regular house orchestra, Prof. Eward Minor, leader, will resume their places in the pit. They received an ovation Monday night, as the filed in. Headed by Lieut. E. R. Gathers, president, the Boosters and Knovkers attended the Gaye's Theatre in a body, Thursday night to do honor to their friends and memembers. S. H. Dudley appearing there in connection with Dave Marion's World's Proofs." The party numbered about sixty. . . . MME. HACKLEY AND THE OWENS PAGBANT. The date of Owen's Pageant has been changed from April 10 to April 24, in order to allow the very busy director, Mme. E. Azalia Haskley an opportunity to close out a number of important engagements in other offices. Mme. Hackley was in the city last Thursday and at a big meeting of the principals at the home of Miss Marie A. D. Madre. 2005 Thirteenth street, cast the parts and mapped out the larger details of work to be done. The chorus will embrace about two hundred. The affair will be far out the ordinary and will be given Thursday evening. April 24, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, under the auspices of Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Mme. Hackley returned last week and will enter upon a season of active rehearsal, besides conducting private music classes. She is now enjoying excellent health. AKERS AND JACKSON APPEARED AT WASHINGTON HOUSE LAST WEEK. Hattie Akers and Frank Jackson, who appeared at the Washington House, Indianapolis, Ind., the week of April 9th, is another one of those big class acts that is under the personal direction of that super-drama of the theatricals, Mr. Will H. Smith of Chicago, Ill. From the fact that this act is under Mr. Smith's personal direction, puts them in ranks of the safe guarantee class. MRS. VERNON CASTLE LEARNS HER HUSBAND PAS BEEN DECORATED Mrs. Vernon Castles stars in "Patria," the international's serial of romance and patriotism, the second episode of which will be shown at the Star Theatre next week. She is in receipt of a batch of letters from some of her husband's friends, telling of his brave work as an ensign in the British Royal Aviation Corps. Mr. and Mrs. Castle write to each other each day, but because of the infrequency of the mails, the letters usually reach their destination in large numbers. The celebrated actor and dancer led a flight of seven monoplanes over the German lines, located Genermont and the Boville farms for the Fresh artillery and brought back his aviators without an accident. As a result of Henry B. Walthall the greatest actor in moving pictures, who will appear in "The Raven" the attraction at the Bijou Friday, April 20. A part of the proceeds of this performance will be donated to the Woman's Auxiliary of the Holy Trinity Church. the work of the American aviator, the French captured several salients. While Mrs. Castle has put forth the greatest effort of her life to make impressive and forceful the remarkable preparedness plays, "Patria," her husband devoted himself to the actual work of fighting. "BUSINESS" COUNTS SAYS PICTURE PRODUCER. It is the "business" that counts in pictures even more than the big things, according to Williams Parke, under whose direction Pathe's "Mystery of the Double Cross" was produced by the Astra Film Corporation. "In a picture it is the 'business' that counts," says Mr. Parke. "Also in a play a bit of business will get a bigger laugh than any line you can speak. I remember in particular, one play I produced. It had been sent around to many managers but they had no faith in it. However, I saw its possibilities and it turned out to be a big success. "The first act showed a scene behind the stage. The leading woman was in love with a young fellow. The young fellow's mother didn't want him to marry the girl. The girl was the leading woman in the show and the boy's mother didn't think they would be happy. "Kate Ryan, I remember, played the part of the mother. The girl's maid met her and asked her to be seated for a moment. When we were rehearsing that scene I saw a chance for a laugh. Miss Ryan was not by any means a lifelength. I put in a little bit of business that took a scene over in fine style. When the mother called, the maid looked blubbily at a frail looking chair. She started to pick it up, it put down and brought out a solid-looking chair, asking the mother to be seated. This always got a good laugh." Mr. Parke delights in filling his pictures with charming little touches that are true to life and which add immeasurably to their beauty. He is generally regarded as one of the best directors in the business. It was be cause of his excellent work as a Than houser director that J. A. Bertz, Vice President and General Manager of Pathe, personally requested Louis J. Gassier, President of Astra, that Mr Parke direct "Mysteries of the Double Cross," the second episode of which will be a feature at the Star Theatre SPORTS SPORTS THE Y. M. C. A. T. T. The Y. M. C. A. T. T. held its first spring meeting Tuesday afternoon on the second floor of the Y. M. C. A. Building. The meeting opened with a song by the president, Mr. Robert E. Stockard and prayer by the sporting editor, Mr. Wilburn A. Buchanan.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE NEGRO REGIMENT OF FLORIDA MILITIA IS NOW PROPOSED. PETITION PRESENTED TO GOV. CATTS SEEKING AUTHORITY. CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATES HE HOPES ADJUTANT GENERAL WILL GIVE PERMISSION TO RAISE REGIMENT. A number of prominent Negroes have petitioned Gov. Sidney J. Catts for permission to raise a regiment of Negro Mililia in Florida. In answer to the petition, which was presented by a committee, the governor states that he hopes Adjutant General J. B. Christian will aid them in their enterprise of organizing the regiment. The governor suggests that the Negroes select three white officers as follows: Colonel, Major and Captain, for the protection they would give the regiment. He also informs the committee that he is sending copies of their petition and his answer thereto to several papers of the state and asking them to publish same. The governor's letter in reply to the petition is as follows: **Letter of Gov. Catts.** "W. H. Thompson, Jno. A. Gregg et al. Jacksonville, Fla. Sirs: "Your committee which handed me this letter the other night certainly deserves a great deal of commendation and praise on account of their fidelity and patriotism to our country at this time and that, when you shall see General Christian that he will give you the right to organize this regiment. I would suggest however, that you be sure to have at least a Colonel, Major and Captain who are white because it would not do, to be without the protection that CAPT. E. W. W. GLADDEN, Chaplain U. S. A. 21st Infantry. these men will give the regiment. I am sending a copy of your letter to several newspapers and ask them to publish the same together with this letter in answer thereto. "In a time like this as has always been the case the Negro race has always shown its loyalty to our great government and I sincerely thank them for being willing to do so at this time. "Hoping that you will raise a fine regiment and in the event of a war that you will show that our citizens in Florida are brave, I am, Yours truly. SIDNEY J. CATTS. Governor. Petition of Colored Men The petition presented to the governor by a committee of local Negroes for the right to organize a regimen of Negro militiamen is a follows: "Hon. Sidney J. Catt, Governor State of Florida, Tallahassee, Fla. "Your Excellency: We the undersigned members of the Negro race who are as loyal Americans as any within the borders of these lands, and feeling as we do, like all true Americans, the call of country in these troublesome times, wish to pledge now our loyalty to the flag of this mighty nation, which is our heritage, and our fealty to this great commonwealth of which you have the honor to be governor, and of which we are proud to be parts and parcels.

Ticondoraoga, through the revolution, the war of 1812, down through the late civil strife, the frontier wars, the Spanish-American war, especially at San Juan Hill, when the black men could meet a withering fire and sing in the face of it, "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight," and that that loyalty has further been indelibly written on the pages of American history so recently at Carilac, where men could protect the flag, and die with smiles on their faces, for "They rode to their death and the leaden hall, shattered their ranks, but they didn't quail. Trapped by the foe, but they ne'er turned back. For their hearts were brave, if their skies were black. Let us write on their tombs, let us place above Their graves, "They died for the flag we love." "And now your Excellency, since it appears that our country is facing a great enemy from without, we wish to have you know that we feel ourselves an integral part of this nation, and that her interests are our interests, her welfare, our welfare, insults to her are insults to us, and that we believe that ultimately will come to every citizen of the nation who proves himself worthy through Old Glory, those tenements for which it stands, "liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness." "In order therefore, to give further proof of our loyalty to this our native land, we petition through your Excellency that we be given permission to organize through this our commonwealth, a regiment of colored militia, officered by men of the race. This, we believe can be easily done, for cities like Jacksonville, and Tampa can enlist as much as two or three companies, while other cities can enlist from one to two companies, until the full complement is provided. "We believe that should your Excellency use your good offices to make it possible for such an arm of the National Guard of the state, you will be pleasingly surprised at the promptness with which our men will show their loyalty to our state and country.

The Messenger. THE NEGRO'S PART IN THE AP- PROACHING CONFLICT. It is indeed gratifying to note that the Negro is not unmindful of his duty as an American citizen and has not lost one spark of the patriotism which has ever characterized his conduct whenever his country has needed his services on the battlefield. We thoroughly concur in the patriotic address delivered by Mr. Roscoe Conkling Stimmons at the Chestnut Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Louisville. Kentucky, and reported in a previous issue of this paper, who, among things said "We are part of our country. We know but one flag and that is the flag for me in peace or that is the flag for me in peace or war. I am an American. Whatever affects another American, affects me. I am not a hyphened American. In peace, I am a Negro. In war I am an 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 for us. Sometimes I think we have let them settle too many things. We must do our part as we have always done our part in times of war. If we suffer, it is because we have not yet shaken off our shackles. If we are not free we must preserve free," we are especially pleased to note that the Negroes of our native state, Florida, have taken the initiative in demonstrating their patriotism as the Florida, have taken the initiative in leading daily (The Times Union) will show: --- PIANOS THAT SERVE Most people are interested in the exterior of an instrument.

The Bible said the Ethiopian shall stretch for her hand, and princes shall come out of Egypt. Then, if we are believers in the Bible, then let us look for better friends. Let me call you to one part of the Bible. Note the 8th chapter of Daniel: "In the third year of the regn of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace; which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river Ulal. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other and the other was higher. I saw, that I was at Shushan in the westward, and northward and southward; so that no beasts might any that could deliver out of his band; but he did according to his own will, and became great. And as I was considering, behold a goat came from the wet on the whole face of the earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran into him in the fury of his power. And I saw him come unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smoke the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and there was stamped upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand." Therefore, my friend, just look who is standing with all the power, but the Germans when they come they will not come on the ground; but they have but one horn because there is not but one and they are coming and yet the power looks impossible. But the Bible must be fulfilled. So look out boys, God is for us if we will serve him. So we all ought to pay up if we owe anything to the National Baptist Publishing Board, I want to pay it. Everybody ought to pay. REV. Wm. CHAMBERS.

This article has been written at length so as to make the situation so plain that "a wayfarer" may see. The Board will not enter further into portrayed by an all Col red Star Cast showing 20,000 Negro Delegates attending National Baptist Convention and 10,000 Negro representatves in the great Elka parade. The most marvelous parade ever made by the race. DON'T FORGET THE DATE APRIL 24th AND 25th STAR THEATRE any controversy or retaliation. If we can be shown any better way to disrobe ourselves of authority and power in the interest of the denomination or the Convention we stand ready to do so. The Home Mission Society through its representatives who were in Nashville a few days ago assured us that if anything more they could do to put to rest any discontent they would do it. If our "friends" will attend to their side of the street, we think they will have is much as they can look after, and in conclusion, we hope these few lines will find you well. To our Constituency in the State we want to appeal to you to stand by your institution in these perilous critical times, for it is the delight of some to see you waver. Roger Williams belongs to you. It like all other Negro institutions is a charitable institution. There are no profits. Those who have sacrificed and are sacrificing to build up this institution have not been able to buy automobiles or to build houses since they have been there, but rather they are poorer so far as the worlds goods are concerned. It is your duty to defend her and contend for her. She is enjoying the greatest period in the history of her existence. She only needs a few more stalwart sons and sympathizers, with a determination to stand immovable and fearless amid the shock of individual conflict and the cyclone of denominational excitement, and view with a serene eye the heaving earth and the raging tempest, all the while keeping their hand upon the Ark of God until "Victory" shall, sit sunlike, on the banner of righteousness and all Tennessee Baptists repose in joy and happiness beneath her peaceful scepter.
