GRAND LODGE DELEGATION
Second Meeting Held Tuesday, Great Preparation Being Made For K. of P.'s
The Nashville delegation to the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias held its second meeting Tuesday evening at the local Pythian Temple with the chairman, A. W. Fite, presiding.
The meeting was one of the best ever held prior to a Grand Lodge session. More than twenty-five representatives were present. Every time the time was used to ad vantage by the bargeboard of thoughtful men assembled. The Pythian Temple project was the chief subject of discussion. Hon. A. N. Johnson was invited to discuss the proposition with the delegation and this he did. For more than thirty minutes Knight Johnson held the attention of those present. His remarks were so clear out that there was no chance fro misunderstanding His presentation of the proposition. The delegate's feature of the meeting. The delegate will have Mr. Johnson end his remark to the chairman will see to it that the distinguished speaker will meet with them again in the near future. The committee on homes reported that the Y. M. C. A. would be able to take care of the entire male delegation to the Grand Lodge. In the letter sent out by the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. it is distinctly set forth that rooms, board, bath, etc., will be furnished for the price as stated. Dr. Forde of the Harmon Lodge was present and took two pieces in the meeting. Dr. Forde was appointed chairman of the committee on resolutions.
Knight J. B. Batte of Damon Lodge No. 2 rendered splendid service to the
INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBR
Ladies Military Band at Bea of People Roam its Hills—I
Wednesday was a regular "Fourth" of July—hot and perspiring from the crack of the glorious Independence Day until old Sol retired in favor of Mr. Moon. Not a shot was fired from the well known fireworks to the hip pocket artillery, so far as known to the public. The nearest thing to an explosion was the "bang" of an automobile tire on Overton Carter's car. This was at first thought to be Brentwood blowing up, but later was found to be the destruction of forty dollars' worth of rubber as aforesaid.
If you had any business to transact you were hard put to find anybody to do business with. If you were least late in calling up a friend to have him join you, he was already on his way somewhere, in search of cooling breezes, soothing water to change in or swaying music that maniac music played or a few at a baseball game. The ball game at Athletic Park drew its quota of Negro fans to see Chattanooga win the doubleheader. The Bijou, Star, Alpine, and Excel Theatres and all other places of amusement were packed throughout the day, as well as in the evening, with a peaceful, contented mass of humanity, high brow and low, all calm. The banks were closed, many of the stores locked and it did seem that every one in Nashville with one accord had entered into a compact to spend the day on every street regardless. It was an ideal town that greeted strangers—no drunkenness, no carousing; an ideal day for the inhabitants and an indication of contentment that called forth one comment after and there the crowds passed here and there the buildings and yonder disregarding old humidity in such a manner as to forget old Sol's beaming rays.
But away above all other celebrations, the one at beautiful Greenwood Park compared as a mountain to a mole hill. Never within the history of this justly famous pleasure place was there such a stupendous outpouring of the masses as on Wednesday-old, young, the lads and lashes. It looked as if the whole face of the search going at full awe enjoyed themselves; you could tell that by the wholesome peals of laughter and by their hearty applause of the Ladies' Band which furnished the music for the celebration. This band is one of the finest of its kind in the country and is composed of some of Nashville's leading, young women. Prof. C. M. Davis is the musical director. Beautiful Greenwood had on its best bib and apron and the people were proud of her. All the concessions were going at full awe. The roller coaster was fairly with youngsters and old ones, too. The Merry-go-round sure went "round and round and then some. "Try your luck" was heard when one approached the shooting gallery which was literally seething with humanity. The Penny Arcade, Fishing Pool, the Giggler, the club house, all were taxed to the utmost in catering to the wishes of the people, but the crowning feature be it remembered was the Ladies' Band.

committee by his timely advice along the line of constructive legislation. Many excellent ideas looking to the betterment of every department of the order were brought out by Knight John Cunningham of Stringer Lodge No. 6, Knight T. Chy Moore of Priestley, G. Ge of Damon Lodge No. 2. Local measures were discussed by Knight John Sloan of Purity No. 42 and Knight John Parchment of Damon Lodge. Another distinct feature of the meeting was the inspiring remarks of the chairman, Knight A. W. Fite, Knight Fite gave a brief history of the grand lodge pointing out the fact that the order had grown steadily up and that no one had ever failed to meet a just obligation. It was also shown that every step that had been taken for the benefit of the order had succeeded.
Prof. G. E. Washington was present and took an active part in the discussion. The meeting on Tuesday night was no doubt one of, if not the best, ever held in Nashville. Thoughtful men had assembled for the purpose of Pythias to the best of their ability and this they did by discussing and endorsing plans for the betterment of the order. The delegation will meet every Tuesday night at the Pythian Temple until the Grand Lodge convenes. Every delegate, Grand Lodge officer and member of the local lodges are invited to attend these meetings that they may both receive and give inspiration to the great Pythias. To see such "Pythian talks" as given by Knights Johnson and Fite was worth going many miles.
At the next meeting of the delegation it is expected that other features of the great work to be done will be presented by the chairman. All of the committees appointed are urged to attend the meeting, that all of the time necessary may be given to the speakers who may be present by invitation.

TRIENNIAL SESSION OF THE MOSSIAC TEMPLARS OF AMERICA.
Little Rock, Ark—In studying the many influences and forces that have operated for the uplift of the Negro race since his emancipation; in giving a careful survey of the many auxiliaries that have been instituted by men of thought of inventive and organic genius; who actuated by unselfish and racial meanings, none stand out more prominently and seem to be more deserv-

ing of consideration and a place in the economic, moral and social uplift among the American Negroes than does the well known Order of the Mosaic Templars of America.
The Negro race, born in a day, ushered into a world of new and untried environments, associated and brought in contact with the organic genius and schemes of the white race that had been in operation for his own development, the Negro, we say.
S. J. ELLIOTT, N. G. M.
Little Rock Ark.
necessarily like a drowning man grabbing at a straw seized everything manded for the preservation of his physical life, the development of his that seemed helpful in sight, and of his own initiative, instituted, put into operation such schemes and plans as his own inventive natural genius suggested, and his dire necessities demoral life, and the perpetuity of his racial identity, those forces that might operate for his salvation and act as a protectorate over himself and his, as against the aggression and often oppression of his white fellows among whom he was forced to live. When the above facts are taken into consideration it is not to be wondered at that here and there strong men would rise above their fellows, and even above their fellows of a superior race and bring to bear and institute helpful organizations for the development of themselves and peo
ple. Like damned up and hindered water, seeking in an irresistible way, an outfit, so the thoughts and schemes and plans and inventions of the sons of slaves sought to free themselves from the entanglements and awful depressed and unbearable conditions in which they found themselves. Now and then a great mind would dash over the barriers of human prejudice, leap over the forts of the stearnest opposition, brave the guns of the most intrepid warrior, and carry over the ramparts of the most astute thinkers the unthought-of schemes and plans that were destined to work wonders and miracles in the development of his own people. Such were the conditions and surroundings and environments out of which the Mosaic Templars of America sprang. This Order born in a dark day, and which has grown from an insignificant organization to a national power was the outgrowth of the conditions and environments in which the late John E. Bush and Chester W. Keatts found themselves and their people when young men. The Order therefore is the result of their attempt to deliver their people and themselves from the moral and social and financial bondage in which as young men they found them.
It is almost impossible to speak in connection with the Mosaic Templars of America concerning one of these distinguished men without speaking of the other; it is almost impossible to separate them in thought for their deeds and acts and the influence of the institution that they founded are so entwined one with the other until one could not speak in justice of one without speaking of the other. They were pioneers of thought, and constructive business and organic genius among Negroes; as a careful survey of the order they founded will testify, for unlike most orders, and indeed the majority of orders or secret fraternities among Negroes, the Mosaic Templars of Aherica is entirely original and stands out as the product of Negro brain and organic power; in this respect it is entirely unlike the great fraternities of Masons and Odd Fellows and many others that might be mentioned. Both founders were born slaves, both were self-made. While C. W. Keatts was the happy friend-maker and the executor of the ingenius plans and schemes that have made the order so successful. J. E. Bush was the business genius and inaugurator and navigator of the schemes.
Arkansas never gave to the Negra race two stronger and broader sons than when it ushered into the light of day those two heroic spirits, nor old death claim two greater princes than when it invited into the portals of glory the two heroes of Mosaic Templar fame.
There is nothing that speaks more loudly of the character of men than the lives they actually live, and nothing testifies more accurately of the life that a man has lived than the condition of the records that he leaves for public instruction at his death.
One of the happiest thoughts in the mind of the editor of the People's Defender is the manner and way that the books of the National Grand Secretary of the Mosaic Templars of America were found at his death. When they were examined by the auditor of the order, and also by one of the most expert actuaries in the country, they were found to be in perfect condition. Every penny and every dime of the Order was in tacet and in its place. The huge sum of $140,000 scattered among the banks of
Little Rock were found to be in perfect condition for the Order, and in shape so as to be transferred to his successor without a hitch. In this respect the editor of the People's Defender does not hesitate to say that the late John E. Bush was one of the most magnanimous men whether white or black, that our whole country hath produced, for only a few men acting for an Order, or
C. W. KEATLS, Founder, increased.
body of people, with the privilege and opportunity to convert to his own use would have left in perfect shape such a huge sum to the credit of the people he served. It sets a new record in Negro business life and integrity. It no longer be said that the Negro will destroy and dissipate everything that passes through his hands, for the record of John E. Bush in handling the finances and business

laying down his ready pen that had issued so many valuable decrees for the uplift of the Order he founded and loved so well at the summons of the Death Angel, he yielded it up to his successor, who by the appointment of the National Grand Master fell upon his dislining and yet honorable son, C. E. Bush, who from all indications is following hard and honorably in the path of distinction and honor so plainly marked out by his very energetic and great father. The National Grand Master and the Board of Management is to be congratulated for placing the toga of National Grand Secretary upon the shoulders of the sea of the genius of

STATE CONVENTION TO HOLD THIRTIETH ANNUAL SESSION
Rooms In the Y. M. C. A Building Being Rapidly Taken.
YOUNG MEN ARE COMING in possession of the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. dally. The Association Family up to Thursday noon totaled seven in number. The names as follows: Rev. E. M. W. Wright, Rector of Holy Trinity Church of this city, C. W. Washburn, Students, Mr. Brown of Alabama. Edward Smith of Indianapolis, Ind., Harvey McCutcheon of Atlanta and G. McCaster of Nasu ville.
The Chairman of the Committee of Management gives it as his candid opinion "That Young Men who become members of the Association should be made to feel absolutely at home under the Association roof. This can be done not so much by the Committee of Management as by their representatives, who may be on duty in the office and immediate charge of the apartments and Association activities." "Fair Play or 'A Square Deal' should be the slogan, he suggests. The chairman speaking thus for the Committee of Management is undoubtedly on safe ground. It is hardly possible to estimate the Association possibilities for usefulness where this spirit prevails. When the young men above mentioned became members of the Association, it should have been evident from the very beginning that they were in the hands of their friends. Let hope that they were and will continue to be. The secret of the great growth which has taken place in the association movement in this country, has been that its good points have been talked about by its friends and members and medicines have been sourced from it. There appeared that the success was being impeded. The growth of the Colored Y. M. C. A. in the city of Nashville cannot hope to take along any different lines to that of the other successful associations throughout the country. The friends of the movement as well as the members should get busy at the very beginning sling the praises of the Colored "Y" when it merits praise and seeking a remedy for what ever evil that may be discovered. And done the work will be in no wise a disgrace to so many white and colored friends in and out of the city of Nashville.
Smyrna, Tennessee.—After getting in touch with the church for miles around, the reception committee consists of Mr. Abe Drennan, Mr. Thiman Butler, Rev. A. L. Perry, Rev. Kirk Malone, Mrs. Hattie Frierson, Mr. Gus Gresory and a score of others, announced this week they are ready to entertain the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Tennessee, which is to hold its thirteenth annual session here with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which he is the Whitaker leader. While the convention will meet here with the local church, the local churches for miles around are arranging to assist in the care of the delegates. Even the First Baptist Church of Murfreesboro, ten miles away, with its pastor and members, has sent word to the local church they are only awaiting the arrival of the delegates to lend their hand. In addition to this there comes the encouraging report from the Hickory Grove Baptist Church and from the Mt. View Baptist Church, both in close proximity to the large Murfreesboro Smyrna is putting on Sunday clothes. All the have been renovated, special attention has been given to the careers in fact the people of this community have fully determined from the preparations made to show that Smyrna can care for a state convention, as many have said that this place has been in the market for a state meeting for a number of years and it was only last year by the strategic move on the part of the Smyrna representatives that they succeeded in capturing the state convention. Not only will the large community meet more regularly in the auxiliary facilities, namely, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. Convention and the Women's Auxiliary to the State Convention. It is expected that the vanguard of the delegates will arrive Tuesday evening July 10th, while the convention proper takes in on Wednesday morning July 11th. Big things are in store for the Baptist people, who will come from every section of the state. Every community with its enthusiastic citizens has planned to take a vacation, as many have never really spotted a space where they meet. Arrangements are being made for vehicles of every description, so that every care of the delegation will be provided for. Many of the people in and about this city own their autos and it has long since been given up as one of the best stock raising districts in Middle Tennessee being in close proximity to Spring Hill, where one of the greatest stock forms in the state is located. The local committee has given out the assurance that the delegates need no fear to come down in large numbers. 8:11 Clock the Baptist Special will leave the Union Station for Smyrna, Tennessee. President J. L. Harding is to call the thirteenth annual session of the Missionary Baptist State Convention to order. The sessions of the convention are to be held in the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Secretariat Burns stated at the Baptist Minis

NAT. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
Meeting At New Orleans -14th Annual Session Much Work being Planned.
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools which holds its 14th annual session in New Orleans, Louisiana. July 25 to 29, as is indicated by the program which is being sent out, will hold the most successful session in its history.
President W. H. Singleton, of this city, and his officers have prepared a program which will furnish data and discussion along the most improved lines of education. During their first day, there is to be a conference of college presidents and school principals; presided over by L. J. Rowan, of Alcorn College, Mississippi. The speakers for this day are President N. B. Young, Florida; I. S. Powell, of Southern University, Louisiana; W. A. Howard, of Florida, and The Major R. R. Wright of Georgia.

At the evening session, addresses will be made by both the Mayor of New Orleans, and the Governor of Louisiana.
The second day will be given up largely to the work of Negro school supervisors, under the direction of the deans Board. Supervisors will be present from Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama.
Among the other topics for consideration during the week are "Educac"

ters' Conference this week he had already sent out the last notice and appeals for every phase of the convention work to the messengers throughout the state. During the same week the Woman's Auxiliary will hold its sessions. Meetings are to be called to order by Mrs. D. A. Ferguson of Murfreesboro, Tenn. The secretary for the Woman's Convention, Mrs. J. L. Harding, has left store unturned to get this state to the women throughout the state. The convention, however, will be devoted to the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. work. Rev. J. B. Ridley, the president of the Sunday School Convention, Mrs. S. B. Deadrick, the corresponding secretary; Rev. J. L. Campbell and S. K. Salk have constituted practically the executive committee in working up the Sunday school forces, and while President Ridley states they will have but one day, it is their plan to put into this day twelve hours of real Sunday school owlw. With this convention, with the regular state convention and the women's ary to augment the attendance, Summitt be the sitter of the opportunity and amenity over other cities, as I must meet the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. meetings have been held separate and apart from the state convention.
President Harding stated this week that the delegates from West Tennessee, coming from as far as Shelby County and from East Tennessee, will congregate in Nashville and join the special. It was stated that the delegates from Clarksville, Springfield and Guthrie and points in that section of the state would arrive in the afternoon or on the early morning trains and be prepared to go out with the Nashville contingent. It was assumed that there would be members of big features on the program during the week. While the women are giving special attention to their particular phase of the work and the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. forces are rallying around their standard, Christian and religious education is to be the watchword for all departments.
The official announcement of the purchase of the theological and training school, which was made by the members of the convention last week after the adjournment of the Congress, seems to have stirred the Baptists as nothing else that has happened in recent years, and now the plans have been made for a big educational rally.
On Sunday, July 15, it is expected that there will be at least fifteen hundred people from Nashville, Murfreesboro, Columbia, Lavergne, Antioch, Florence and intersecting points near Smyrna. The meeting is to be begun at three o'clock in the afternoon and one of the most noted speakers of the state has been invited to be on hand. The following is the official roster of the Missionary Baptist State Convention:

Tonoline Is Beanty Aid Announces Specialist
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to women
As health is a first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest.
"I can recommend no better health giver than tonline," said Mildred Louise.
"I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches also would add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness."
"Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said, 'Take tonoline.'"
"Not long after I started the tonoline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty, the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face."
"What tonoline really did for me cannot say. I am so grateful that I am very willing to recommend tonoline to people."
Tonoline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies—stomach and kidney trouble, catarral affections of the mucous membranes, liver ailments and impurities of the blood—and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained daily to many people at any drug store.
Notice:—As toniline is a wonderful flesh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more. Although many reports are received from those who have been benefitted by the many cases of stomach trouble and nervous dyspepsia, chronic constipation, etc.

Be Moderate in Your Diet. Breathe Deeply, and Take Tassco
Fat persons, particularly those from 10 to 30 pounds above normal weight will be interested to learn that they may easily reduce their weight without starvation diet or tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by being moderate in your diet, so that you will not overtax your assimilative organs, by getting plenty of fresh air, by breathing deeply and by taking tassco four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from any druggist in 5 grain tablets, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. They cost little, are absolutely harmless, are pleasant to take and are designed to reduce fatty accumulations in the system where ever located.
A few days treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, the flesh should become firm, the skin smooth and the general health improved, in fact your footsteps should even become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more buoyant feeling take possession of your whole being.
Every person who is 10 or 20 pounds over normal weight should surely give this treatment a trial. You will probably find that it is just what you need.

Dear Brother Boyd:
Hundreds of letters have been pouring in on Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress, from many who were in attendance here in June. By his permission, excerpts from many of these letters will be given through the National Baptist Union-Review from week to week.
It was impossible for me to attend the Sunday School Congress, but the secretary of our convention, Rev. Mr. Freeman, was in attendance and he reports that it was one of the grandest meetings that he had ever witnessed. He is all compliments for the way and-manner in which you handled the meeting. He is planning to have our state more largely represented than ever before. We are looking for you on the 11th of July.

My Dear Rev. Boyd:
I am delighted with the splendid success of the Sunday School Congress which has just closed. We are all agreed that you deserve much credit for you left no stone unturned in working it up. Our reception and treatment while in your city was great, for which we thank you. Those Departmental Meetings, that Sunday School Parade, in fact that Twelfth Session of the Sunday School Conference, a world record. I assume that by now Nashville knows whether we had a Sunday School Congress or not. Wishing you much success and a deserved and needed rest, I am.

After leaving the Sunday School Congress, which I have pronounced the greatest in the history of its sessions, I came here to Chicago for a little vacation. I wish you would convey to the Sunday School Congress forces my hearty congratulations on the wonderful work of the Congress, which was a real Congress, nearer our ideal than ever. I hope to meet you in Atlanta next September.

Dear Brother Boyd:
I am now home from the Sunday
School Congress, and if my judgement
is worthy of credit, I pronounce it one
of the greatest Sunday School meetings
that I have ever attended. Accept
my congratulations for the success of
the work from every standpoint
that it was my privilege to view. Much
of the success from the standpoint of
members from Kentucky was due to
Rev. M. L. Porter and Mrs. L. B. Fouse.
They both have much interest in Kentucky, and the Congress got the beneft of their influence.

I am writing to inform you of my safe arrival home and the conditions as I found them respecting my dear mother, whom I found improving. I am delighted over the success of our Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress which just closed in your city. It was indeed a great meeting, and the delegates far exceeded my expectation, therefore, you will please accept my congratulations for the crowning success that was brought about by your earnest and uniting efforts. I will say that the Florida delegation rejoiced in the success of our brim full of information and with inspiration many degrees higher than they have ever had, to go forward using every opportunity in making our Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U.'s what they ought to be. I congratulate my self too that I had the pleasure in helping to make the Congress a success. From now on I shall give my time and attention to our state Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention which meets July 25th-28th at Kissimmee, Flia. Pray for me that I may be able to improve the conditions.

to never miss another Sunday School

know more about "Building Front

Boston, Mass., July 5.—According to the Pilot, a publication conducted in the interest of the Catholic Church, the Abe Gabriel Sane, the first black Catholic chaplain with the Colonial troops in France, was killed in Champagne by a bursting shell. His body was brought in by Dr. Levatain, of the Holy Ghost Order, who came from Brazil to serve the armies of France. The Abe Gabriel Sane was born in 1639 and was converted to Christianity. He made his studies in Senegal, his native country, and was ordained priest in 1902. When he saw his compatriots leaving in great numbers for the war he asked his help to convert them to Christianity, then, if only as interpreter, for he spoke six languages. Mons. Le Roy chief military chaplain to the Sengales Traillleurs, who received him with enthusiasm.

Somewhere in Washington, D. C., Harry O'Grady, a colored inventor from Westbourne, Campbell county, Tennessee, has placed two valuable inventions on the market. O'Grady has had patented a Terpelo-Catcher and Mine Destroyer. The chief of the Naval Construction Bureau gave a hearing on this device some days ago. While it is not suitable for battleships, it will be of indispensable service and protection to merchantmen vessels. As the government under the direction of the Pan-American builder is going to mount a fleet of wooden vessels, efforts will be made to have these ships equipped with the O'Grady Torpedo Catcher and Mine Destroyer. Some protection must be given our merchant marine against ruthless U-boat campaign of Imperial German government and as there is great merit in this Tennessee's pantent, his chances are exceedingly good to have Uncle Sam adopt it. The other invention is a nut lock that will be a boon to railroads, automobiles and all other industries. The device insures absolute safety from nuts slipping off as the lock makes them secure.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 5—Dr William W. Gibbs, colleges, intelligent young physician who recently completed the medical course in the Indiana College of Medicine was forced to abandon his idea of serving as interne in the city hospital of this college, and to internes swalking out when Gibbs walked in as interne. Two others of the white interne and every nurse remained on duty. Gibbs passed the recent health board examination and was sixth highest on the list of applicants. His high grade over those of the white competitors peated envy over his success. He took the boat of white interne. The board claimed that they had to yield to the demand of the interne to dismiss Gibbs because there were 300 patients in the hospital who would be neglected if the men did not return. Dr Gibbs manifested his manhood when he refused to be "jim-crowed" by the plan suggested by the other interne's eating in the kitchen of the hospital and only attend colored patients.
Fifty Thousand Dollar Damage Suit to Be Instituted.
A conference of Supreme Representatives John Mitchell, Jr., T. M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson, Past Grand Chancellor R. C. Mitchell and Past Chancellor John T. Taylor, Rev. L. J. Morris and R. W. Whiting took place this week to consider the availability of instituting suit for $50,000 individually against S. W. Green of Louisiana, S. A. T. Walkins of Illinois, L. M. Mitchell of Texas, J. L. Jones of Ohio, Dr. R. E. Underwood of Kentucky, R. D. R. Jackson of Illinois, Dr. J. H. Ward of Indiana, Rev. A. H. Newton of New Jersey, George A. Watty of Maryland, John H. Young of Arkansas and Henry James of Florida on account of damages to themselves and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pathins, the subordinate lodges and the memorial lodges, by members of the humiliation, ridicule, non-recognition and other injuries sustained due to the action of the other Grand Jurisdictions acting under the authority and in accordance with the instructions issued by the Supreme Lodge officers.
This occurred too in the face of the mandate of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, which Court is composed of six associate justice and one chief justice. The Supreme Court has already decided that the Supreme Lodge shall indemnify the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, N. A., S. A., E. A., & E. provisional to the amount of ten thousand dollars, but as this amount does not include putative damages in the event of a final favorable termination of the case, suit for this additional amount should be instituted.
After due consideration, it was decided to delay instructing Counsel to proceed in the matter until after the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. It developed in the discussion that there is no disposition to bring additional accruals against the Supreme Lodge itself. The Grand Lodge Virginia at its annual "session" at Staunton last week pledged itself to furnish all the money necessary to press legal action to a successful conclusion—Richmond Planet.
The library is every man's school.
Everything is elective in the library.
You are not classified; you may
select any subject you choose. We
have books for every walk of life.
Keep up-to-date along your line. It
used to be thought that the Public Library was established for "book worms," meaning only persons dealing in the literary world. Men are broader these days and are beginning to realize that life is calling for preparedness along every line, and the library is meeting this demand by having among its volumes books for every child's mind; every woman's mind; every person's mind; your ideas of life run along the line of tradesman or professional. The library is purely democratic. You have full swing to let your mind move in the direction it chooses. We want every citizen of Nashville to get all there is out of their Public Library. Borrow brains from the best men and women of all the cities and wars of the world live in large world. He that can read and meditate will not find his evenings long or life tedious. Reading makekah a full man. Get the "Library Habit." Your mind and soul need constant nourishment, as your body. Do not let July pass without coming to the library at least once and gain something new. Influence every child to get the Library Habit! You can teach the library to have your children and all children learn the choice of good books while young.
When to Come to the Library.
1. When you are lonesome there are books to cheer you up. Ask for them at the desk.
2. When you want the latest news, the Library is the place.
3. When you want to answer life's hard problems.
4. When you want to be better prepared along your line.
5. When you want information along any line. (Exceptions to every rule.)
6. When you want to make life worth the living.
"Knowledge is power." Therefore come to the library and seek power. Get better acquainted with the work of the library by making a visit and making yourself at home. The public at all times is cordially invited and urged to come.

Red Cross Movement Among Colored Women to Effect Permanent Organization.
Membership Campaign Still Being Pushed.
The Red Cross Campaign among colored women which ended last week was really one of the most successful whirlwind campaigns ever conducted in the city. The needs for this campaign had been explained to the people through letters and papers, the NASHVILLE GLOBE being the organ through which the society was able to reach the homes of the colored people.
The campaign among colored women was effectively organized from the very beginning with Mrs. J. C. Napier as the chairman, Mrs. J. D. Chavis, Secretary and Mrs. A. N. Johnson Treasurer. In selecting captains the city was divided into districts, north, east, central and south. The workers in North Nashville were: Mrs. M. L. Crosswathe, Mrs. Julia Williams and Mrs. C. N. Langston, in South Nashville, Mrs. Clemie White and Mrs. J. C. Holman, East Nashville, Miss Ruth Allison and Mrs. Della Miller, Mrs. ida D. Keele had charge of the construction. The manian M. Hadley perfected an organization of the unmarried element of the city that did effective work. Her workers were confined to no particular territory. From their stands in the various business and amusement places about the city they were able to solicit more funds than any of the other teams.
Each captain named above had the privilege of naming as many workers to assist her as she thought advisable. A number of the captains selected ten women to work with them, while others were able to do with less. The workers reported at the Colored Y. M. C. A. and the Bethlehem house from which places pledges and paraphernalia were distributed to the captains. Luncheon was served on the days the reports were made at the Y. M. C. A. The interest and support lent Mrs.
Napier and her able corps of assistants was indeed very gratifying and in the course of the month it is expected to make this organization permanent. The campaign for membership is still on and persons who desire to become affiliated with this noble movement will please give their names, and pledges to the captains in your district or to the officials of the Society. The war is a reality. It is not sectarian nor racial. It is a great upheaval among the ranks of humanity. The average man's opinion as to the right or wrong of the thing does not matter. Men are killing and being killed and it is the duty of every human being, be he black or white, red or yellow or a mixture of all these colors; if his duty has not put him in the reserve corps or on the firing line to mute the ardous duties of those who the Red Cross Movement is as possible. The Red Cross Movement is the only human thing in this really the war and as a human being nothing to cause you from doing your duty to humanity, however mistaken their ideals may be. Not understanding the chronic cry of "hard times" the average man in these glorious United States is not suffering. After bills are paid he, with few exceptions, has a few pennies left. Divide them, that those who have been maimed and blinded in defense of the flag you claim to love may be made as comfortable as possible. If you have not enrolled in the ranks of the Red Cross Society, Do it now.
THE JOY OF THE FIRST STEP.
Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D.
How well do I remember when but a little boy of seeing my omyth's family gather around the fireside, to rejoice over my sister's sister but a few months old she made her first step to walk. It was a real joy and comfort to the entire family to see her as she strove to make that step. Alto trembling with fear and perfectly nervous, she attempted to make another after the first one and succeeded to the delight of all. Our family then felt that the jof of a little sister had begun in life to such an extent that all hands up with reverberation and praise and greetion a link had been made in the march of our family life. Yet little pity little the strengthened and greet into maturity as was anticipated by the family as the years passed by.
In the same like manner, the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, has taken upon itself a task which will bring to the whole family of Baptists and the race generally great strength of wisdom, knowledge, and leadership. I refer to the bringing forth of the National Baptist Theological Seminary which has been the talk of so many conventional assemblies.
I know there are those who stand aloof and criticize the beginning of, this great work because it is an effort put forth to bring culture and reinforcement both to the ministry and the churches composing this denomination. But we must remember that everything must have a beginning and therefore we must begin and with God to help we expect to push it to its completion. For he assumes there are many real men and women behind this movement, men and women who know no failure and who will put every fibre of their being in the work and see to it that what has been begun in due time will be fully accomplished.
The announcement that has gone out to the world will not allow this great undertaking to become a mere void but this effort to our great pleasure, delight and profit is going to be a success. It is an undertaking fraught with great blessings for the denomination and race and why should it not succeed? God helps those who help themselves. We have money and men and why not go to the Lord in this task? To prepare and educate the future Baptist minister for his church is a task of our own. We need not expect any one to do this for us. I am satisfied when I realize I have many friends and yet we must know that our friends will not do for us that which we can one step at ours. Now we have made one step at ours for us to make the next and to push for perfection and completion. We are not bombarded and shut at from mine sides but I trust this will make us only the stronger in our endeavor to do that which is right. As we go on from one step to another, we become less nervous and less apprehensive of failure to complete the task so well begun.
Let us remember that those who accuse us with the excection of those who have become heirs to some property, are persons who have never built as much as a chicken coop or own land enough to bury themselves in. So that all they may say against us should be as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals for they are the greatest wind jammers of the 20th century. It is true they have collected "minimum" for many years, but all they have to show are resolutions on paper that they have been offering continually and continuously. If there has been one foot of land bought or if the denomination has received any benefit form these collections and donations I fail to know about it. So that we of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, need not stop to listen to the calamity howlers but press forward to our well begun task of making the ace and denomination feel proud of themselves as we go forward to do battle for God in the war against unpopularism. We meet in Atlanta, Ga., every man, association and convention that has so willfully promised should have their subscriptions paid. I say thi shecause I know it meets the approval of the Persident and all the leaders of our Convention. Let us not just idly taunt do business for God and our Christ. Thus we will prove ourselves worthy of the trust imposed upon us as leaders of the denomination. We are also calling upon the laymen as well as the ministers, Sunday Schools as well as the associates to participate in the subservience they will in helping to carry out the plans incidental to the operation and maintenance of this great Baptist Seminary.
I feel that God has blessed many in our denomination with this world's goods and they are able to come to the help of God's work. —People's Defender
Specialist Says Everyone Should Drink Hot Water In The Morning
Wash Away All The Stomach, Liver and Bowel Poison Before Breakfast
To feel your best, day in and day out, to feel clean inside, no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, billious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism, or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is a terrible mistake, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known kidney specialist.
To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a kidneco tablet then take it before dinner and supper with a glass of cold water. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach get a dozen kidneco tablets for a quarter from any drugstiff, they are inexpensive and act quickly. Drink hot water every morning with kidneco to rid your system of these vile pisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel, like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment, and above, keep it up. As keep and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so kidneco and hot water, before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels. —(Adv.)

HISTORIC BRIDGE.
In crossing the Jefferson street bridge last week, just before a shower, the wind blowing a gale, we met a lady in distress. She was wearing one of these filmy short skirts and the wind coming through the bridge was determined to wind said skirt about her neck, which it did several times in spite of all her efforts. With her parasol in her teeth and her hat under her arm, she stooed over, holding her skirt at the bottom, and came along walking like a fettered hen. What could an old married man do? If we threw our head back to gaze at the sky our own hat would have gone sailing down the river, and if we looked down she would make faces at us, so we stopped, stood on our hat, threw both hands over a face that burned as fire and peeled through our fingers. We never before saw such a dancing of lingerie, and she hobbled along doubled up pulling at the bottom of that skirt until she tilt it off at the waist, and then tying it around her, scruc for the "other shore under bare poles," peace and harmony prevailing. They should anchor their dresses with a ten-pound cannon ball in Nashville before attempting to cross the bridge in a gale.
THE LORD AND THE WAR
The Adventists see in the present world-wide turmoil and strife the unmistakable sign of the end of the world. They quote Scripture to prove that the wars and rumors of wars which are multiplying so rapidly now indicate the near approach of the final windup, and that the Lord is likely to appear at almost any time. One writer says: "I look for him any day." That may be, but there is one thing sure, that if the Lord should happen to come to earth just now he would meet with a rather stormy welcome. It makes one think of the story about the man who was telling a friend about his first experience in an automobile. After describing his thrilling sensations the friend asked him if the Lord had beep with him on the trip. "Was the Lord with you, brother?" he said. "Well, if he was," the man replied. "he was going some."
President Wilson is said to have declared that he does not know whether Gen. Pershing is a democrat or a republican. Had the general been named to fill a soft job at home, away from danger, the president would have been informed concerning his learnings.
Taking a page out of the lexicon of the lower house which similarly disposed of the Roosevelt army project, the senate proposes, in view of the president's preference for settling things himself, to let him also tangle with the prohibitionists.
Expert advice from both sides of the water probably will tell President Wilson in the matter of prohibition—to do what?

WHAT THE SOUTHERN PRESS SAYS OF THE EAST ST. LOUIS MURDERS.
Below we are printing a few of the many scaathing rebukes from southern white papers on the East St. Louis affair. To say that the East St. Louis barbarities outherd Herod would be but a feeble expression. The crimes of the outlaws we trust will be fully investigated and punishment meted out to the perpetrators is our ardent wish and desire. Wholesale, Brutal Murder. The mobbing of Negroes in East St. Louis on a wholesale scale is a blot upon the name of Illinois greater than any which that state has received from such occurrences since the Negro immigration started. The heartless burning of the Negro did not derail the ingram of the helpless inhabitants of the flaming houses when they attempted to escape, stand more culpable than any lynching ever held. The cremation and shooting of living beings by the score in East St. Louis was terrible in magnitude as well as in execution.
Having been warned by lesser outbreaks in that very spot before the authorities charged with the enforcement of the law have the blood of the murdered men and women upon their hands. They should have provided protection if the mob spirit could not otherwise be put down. This Illinois mob was not endeavoring to punish offenders. Anybody that was black was their prey. Negroes were trying to escape from a building which had been fired with the hope of cremation them alive. The mob were trying to get away,抱 one to a telegraph pole and the two others, leaving their bodies to the flames; and the crime for which they died was trying to get out of the blazing building. Scores of dead and millions of dollars in property destroyed are the net results of this mob madness.
Under the Springfield decision by the Illinois supreme court, the county in which East St. Louis is situated will have to pay the monetary damages, but there can be no adequate damages paid for the hundred lives lost, the hundreds of injuries inflicted, or for the irremovable stain on the good name of a state which has had a glorious part in our later history. Lincoln's birthday is observed in Illinois by parades and much ceremony, but on any one of the other 364 cases for Lincoln is liable to be forgotten, while mobs rage through the streets of Illinois cities and slay and impoverish the descent dants of the race that honors Lincoln as the liberator.
The south has been blamed by northern papers for isolated lynchings, but never has there been the wholesale murder of innocent blacks as witnessed in Illinois. The Chicago Tribune, which has been so rancid in its editorials upon the lynchings of individuals in the south, after heinous crimes, will find itself peculiarly situated in commenting upon the riotous mobbing of innocent Negroes in the town. From the south there will go out only pity and sorrow for the helpless Negroes who left their homes here to go up against such treatment as this in their search for better employment. That they were deluded even from the beginning by those who persuaded them to leave the south is only too true, but now to this is added murder on the wholesale. From the bottom of our hearts we are sorry for you, poor children of the south. Perhaps, also, the certain northern "noblemen" who presided over President Wilson to act on the lynching of the Negro at Memphis will also petition him to act on the carriage in Illinois.
Perhaps!- Tennessee and American.

East St. Louis Massacre.
The East St. Louis Negro massacre is the worst manifestation of race conflict ever known in America. It was bloody and barbarous, a disgrace to the country's civilization. It could not possibly have occurred in the South.
A paragraph taken from the Associated Press report of the horrible occurrence says:
Hundreds of whites stood around the edges of the burning districts and fired at the Negroes as they fled from their homes.
That was indiscribably horrible, merciless, inhuman, discounting any stories of atrocities that have come from the European war zone. The country should blunt that such an occurrence was possible on its soil. It is unaccountable in a land boastful of its enlightenment and its liberty.
There is no proof or record that these Negroes, pitlessly shot down as they fled from their burning homes, had done harm to anyone. Their chief offense was that they had fixed their habitation in the community and asked for work. Their main challenge of the race trouble in East St. Louis. The Negroes were goaded to resentment, they were apprehensive of further assaults, and some of them foolishly and criminally began an offensive movement. Officers who sought to disperse them were shot down, and then the fury of the white mob broke and it visited its vengeance on the innocent as well as the evildoers. In considering this East St. Louis man's actions by a milder term—the fact must not be lost sight of that the whites were the original aggressors and that the most serious offense given by the

YOU CAN HAVE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding on what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get the best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap leaves the hair soft and fluffy, and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but imitate Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler. The price is 25c each Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street New York City, for a sample, mentioning the name of this paper.

BEST BY TEST
Negroes was their presence in the community. The extreme ferocity of this East St. Louis outbreak has illustrated in the following statement:
Two young white girls tonight boarded a street car and dragged a Negro in the street. The Negro woman attempted to break away, but one of the young girls took off her shoe and pounded her over the head. National guardsmen rescued her.
The whole nation will feel the disgrace of this Illinois atrocity, and it is not worth the while to consider it a point of scandal in contrast, but it is inevitable that the South, so much criticized for its alleged bad treatment of the blacks, so long resident within its borders, should not recognize and remark upon the difference between race feeling in this section and that where such an outbreak as that at East St. Louis was possible. The difference would be superfluous. It is too obvious to need eloidation.
There is no place in the world and no record in history where two such diametrically opposed races as Negroes and Anglo-Saxons have dewled so long together in such harmony as the other, whose name is South. There is an understanding and mutual regard between the blacks and whites in the South that does not exist, and it seems can't be attained elsewhere—Nashville Banner.
The Illinois Riot.
Illinois is the scene of what will probably go down as the most deadly riot between the races ever recorded in this country. Certainly it is greater than any riot that ever occurred between the races in the South. The nearest approach to it in the South was the Atlanta riot in 1906, when less than twenty persons were killed. There is another and still more striking difference between the Illinois riot and the Georgia riot. That difference lies in the causes of the riot.
In Atlanta a series of assaults upon white women by vicious Negroes crazed by a vile grade of whiskey and cocaine, led to a series of lynchings. Then the race riots occurred.
But what had the Negroes done in the Illinois town? They had left the comparatively peaceful atmosphere of Southern farms and Southern cities in the city. They announced their arrival to take the high-wage jobs which they had been told were waiting for them. They were fallen upon by the whites who did not want Negro competition. Several persons were killed in the first clash a few days ago. That was touched off the powher charge.
Today nearly thirty persons are known to be dead, about three hundred wounded, and scores of houses are in ashes in the Illinois town as the result of a revengful plot on the mind of the distracted and bedded villagers, who are responsible for this tragedy. Had they been as tolerant of Negro labor as the white people of the South usually are, not a Negro would have been killed, not a house burned, and no stain have fallen upon the fairly good name of Illinois. The Illinois National Guardmen finally quelled the riot, but they did not fall into the hands of the police termination, which, 'melt, might have halted the fiends before they ghastly work had proceeded so far.
The authorities are striving to prevent photographers from taking pictures of the rioting district. East St. Louis does not want "that kind of advertising." Indeed not! The best of advertisers will not do that kind of advertising, but the criminal element, which appears to be such an influential factor in East St. Louis, does not shrink from that kind of advertising. It stands ready, presumably, to repeat the tragic events of Monday, on the first excuses, ready to do any murder and attack, that they cannot tolerate competition by the open market fields of the world — Montgomery, Aha., Advertiser.
In Lincoln's State
Between 75 and 250 Negroes, men, women and children, were killed by mobs in Illinois in one day's saturnalia of outlawry, and property valued at between three and four millions of dollars—almost as great as Atlanta's loss in our recent conflagration—was burned, all because of resentment of the colored man's desire to earn bread and money. Disdainful of law or decency, disregardful of police or military authority, all day long and for half the night the blood-crazed mobs howled and fought and destroyed—employing stones, bludgeons, knives, fire-arms and the torch! The number of dead Negroes as a result of the day's rioting cannot be approximately estimated until a search of the charred ruins can be made.
The state of Allan Lincoln, who guaranteed the black man freedom from bondage, and equality before the law!
Yet our friends of the north continually are harping that we of the south are unable to cope with the "Negro problem!" It is their habit to tell us that we do not know how to deal with the "Negro problem," but that they do!
Is this East St. Louis atrocity a demonstration of the way? Is this an illustration of the north's method of solving the "problem?" If it is, then we must confess that our methods are right and that we are all wrong, for certainly we of the south never have tried that method—and, please God, we never shall!
They tell us in one breath that the Negroes are leaving the south and going north "to escape bondage"—that they go where their "constit

tional rights" are satisfactions.
Then, after burning, Negroes
burned with attitudes, they pro-
ceed to kill them in wholesale lots and
burn their homes, for wanting to
work when they get there!
Thus do they "protect" the Negro
from "bondage!" Thus do they safe-
guard him in his "constitutional
rights!" Thus do they show the
south how to cope with the "race
problem!"
We hear much of the so-called "constitutional rights" of the colored man, from the northern viewpoint, but the
man's guarantee to every man, white or black, of the fundamental
right to earn his living in the sweat
of his brow—as it is and always has
vacated to the Negro in the south—seems to have been entirely
overlooked—Atlanta Constitution.
The Mob.
To say that the public mind is horror-striken expresses inadequately the feeling in contemplating the work of the insensate and irresponsible mob in East St. Louis. Wicked injustice has been done the Negro race in many instances in the south and all over the country, but for enormity and fendishness no example of murder and incendiarism is comparable to that enacted in Illinois. Apart from the wholesale murdering, maiming and firing, the stories of brutality and violence whitened to tales of helpless victims, almost stagger belief The height of barbarism was evident in the participation of white women and girls in ignoble and revolting acts.
Since the entrance of the United States in the European war we have carefully observed the press to note whether that fact has not had its sobering effect in decreasing acts of lawlessness of all kinds. This examiners' report, in the course of courage and satisfaction, it is certain that the newspaper columns have carried less news of the kind. Whether the more absorbing interest in the world-war may have pushed back and overshadowed the criminal catalogue we do not know definitely. However, it seemed a matter of feeble effort to prevent the death of crime that often afflict our country had diminished in a market way.
The violence of the mob, it is seen, still remains in the cancer spot upon the body politic. We may well ask, with serious misgivings, if we have that profound respect for the dignity and majesty of the law which is worthy of American institutions and ideals. With such horrifying outbreaks, is there such an appreciation of orderly government as to render the law white or black, any sense of security? Are the scales of justice so delicately poised as to guarantee to every man the safeguarding of his life, rights and property? Our institutions, our lives, our liberties are safe in proportion as the laws under which we live are respected, observed and enforced. Among barbarians it is the reign of will that prevails. Brute force that knows no restraint in the weapon of the untutored tyrant and dictator. Civilized nations live under the reign of law. As new conditions are imposed to meet the demands of justice. Where among intrudes, their righting depends upon courts, legislatures and executives.
Mob law is always an insufficient excuse and means for avoiding the evils it presumes to correct. Selfishness and revenge, above everything, are its springs of action. It proceeds from the darkest side of human nature. The effect, without just punishment, is to cultivate a weakened regard for all the orderly processes of law and community state. The criminally disposed are certain to take advantage of the fact.
As a rule, the acts of a few enraged and outraged persons are not to be interpreted as the deliberate expression of the attitude of communities toward law observance and enforcement. When, on the other hand, it sweeps over a community like a conflagration from the number of participants, it shows the sense of moral duty and public obligation to be at its lowest ebb. In East St. Louis reason will become enthroned and the will will subside. In the event of no severe legal penalties, there must ensue deep pangs of remorse for all time in reflecting upon the enormity of the crimes committed against society—Knoville Journal and Tribune.

He has been in St. Louis, Mo. for some time. Rev. S. J. Bealey preached for Rev. W. H. Reynolds Sunday night at Kelso.

Mr. Geo Oslin returned to his home in Lewisburg Monday morning. Profs. W. A. Dobins and J. A. G. Fulton left the 2nd inst., to attend A. & I State Normal Summer School at Nashville. The Primitive Baptist Elders and Deacons' meeting was a success. Rev. Hickman of Chattanooga and Rev. Arthur Siler of Winchester were with the church to watch a sermon. Standing room was able to accommodate. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity. Prof. G. T. Hall is now taking a vacation in Fayetteville. Under circumstances over which they had no control, the A. M. E. Church was forced to change their date of Children's Day exercises to the first Sunday in July. Nevertheless it was a decided success. Prof. G. T. Hall is the promoter of the plan to purchase a library for the colored youth of the high school. All race-lowing people are encouraged to help the church contributing as largely as possible. The books selected are wholesome. Mrs. Herman Barber left on the 2nd for Pittsburgh, Pa., where she will join her husband. We regret to see them leave, but ask God's blessing upon them till we meet again.

The meeting Monday evening was to get together and plan a few summer meetings that the enthusiasm may not die, but that renewed energy and a spirit of work may go on and on.
Miss De Bardelelen and Miss Hadley emphasized the fact that the child should have the proper amount of rest and above all of that he or she must play a limited time to de
velop fully the mind and be as God intended them to be spiritually and physically. Another feature of the meeting was the presentation of $5 to the best or to the persons having the best exhibit June 5th following. Mrs. Ella Smith, Bettie Hibbet, Lizzie Jackson, Misses Emma Reed and Mattie B. Topp. The following persons were on the roll of honor for the next best sewing: Mrs. Morton; cooking, Miss Emma Reed; laundry, Miss Eva Beard; embroidery, Miss Juculey Beard; Miss Inborden, the playground directress, was introduced and urged upon the mothers to bring or send the tots to the playground where all care is taken of them.
Mother Sawyers begged that the mothers take, as Miss Hadley requested, their children to the library. It is a grand privilege that is given each Negro boy and girl, old and young, to go to this place of learning and read wholesome literature, not only to savvy Negro community. So let us appreciate the same.
Light refreshments were served and many visitors who have never visited the house expressed themselves as being delighted. The club members were all glad to meet the club's friend, Miss Olmstead, who has visited the house as a Levie. Miss Missela Haskin, the supervisor, is spending some time in southern points.

Missionary Baptist Convention of Tennessee.
Nashville, Tenn. — Dear Brethren and Sisters: Only a few days now until the Missionary Baptist State Convention will meet with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Smyrna, Tenn. Wednesday before the third Lord's day in July, 1977, is the time of meeting. Our brothers and sisters of that great church are leaving town to make way of the messengers which compose the State Convention a pleasant one and have the greatest session that it has been our pleasure to hold. Our President, Rev. J. L. Harding, D. D., has been especially helpful to the great Baptist denomination of Tennessee in furnishing long deferred but much needed information to our great denomination (and the world as far that in) to know what is happening in the papers during the year. Coming generations must look with favor or distrust upon our children for the work and the manner which we are doing for the Master. Enclosed you will find a church letter blank which you will kindly fill out according as God has prospered you. It is the dearest of your Board to get back to the old landmark of Missionary Baptist Church, suffered and died, that the true cause of liberty might have placed in the Missionary Baptist Churches.
Our financial slogan for this year is $2,000.00 for Missionary Educational work. We are about 10 cents per member. Will you donate? Yours for the cause of Christ.
Dear the late cause of Christ,
Executive Committee:
PEV. J. L. HARDING, President
H. M. BURNS, Secretary.

Negro Serves as an interpreter For State.
(From New York Age.)
At 702 Washington street, where the State military census is being taken, the busiest person representing the State of New York is James A. Rivers, black in color, who is serving as an interpreter and who is an objective observer. The obstruction place is in the midst of a large colony of Spanishs, many of whom cannot speak English. Mr. Rivers, who resides at 72 W. 132nd street, speaks English, French, German, English, Italian and Portuguese fluently. He was graduated from Tufts College in 1902 and acquired a local reputation as a linguist attending the Boston Latin School. In 1905, he left the United States to act as interpreter for the J. T. McCaddon's Show, which disbanded in France one year later. Next he became interpreter for the Buffalo Bill Show, remaining with the wild west aggregation until 1908. After staying in France until 1911, Mr. Rivers went to Rome, Italy, and became athletic trainer for the Wheeler, the exclusive boat club of which King Emmanuel is a member.
Later he was engaged to instruct the younger member of the police force in Rome in the art of self-defence, but his position was temporarily abolished owing to many of the police joining the army, so over a period of time he became a Rivers says he is going back to Europe as soon as the war is over.

Had Suffered for Years With His Lungs
"I had suffered with my lungs for years and had tried doctors and medicines of all kinds." Mr. Joe Williams, who lives on Route 7, helvelyne, 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 weighed two hundred and forty pounds and feel as well as body 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." Lung-Vita is sold by all dealers and druggists.

To the Colored Attorneys of the Nation:
A meeting of the National Negro Bar Association is called at Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the 15, 16 and 17 of August, 1917.
The National Negro Bar Association is an auxiliary of the National Negro Business League and will meet in connection with the National Negro Business League at Chattanooga.
Every member of the good stocking her state is either a member or eligible for membership.
Heretofore, when the sessions have been held in the South, the attendance has been unusually large and we trust that we shall not be disappointed in this instance.
At this time when we have an intensified migratory movement going on, international strife, humiliating segregation and proscription by a National Party in power in Washington and lynchings and burnings on every hand, not to mention the comparative enactment inimical to our welfare, in behooves us to get together and take counsel.
Messrs. Scott, Banks and Napier are planning a meeting of extraordinary proportions and as an auxiliary body we want to break all precious records.
This the 3rd day of July, 1917.

Lynching of Negro at Memphis
Causes Colored Medical Asso-
ciation to Change Place of
Meeting.
Memphis, Tenn. July 4.—The meeting of the National Medical Association, which was to have been held in this city Aug. 28-30 has been changed and the sessions will probably be held in Philadelphia or Atlantic City. The immediate reason for this change of place of meeting is the savage and barbarous acts perpetrated in the connection with the burning and lynching of the Negro, Parsons, in the vicinity of Memphis, the city where the recent meeting of the Tristate Medical Association was interrupted by members of the mob of lynchers bringing the head of the burned man and throwing it in the midst of the delegates while in session. The local committee has therefore requested that the place of meeting be changed

Ann Arbor, Mich., July 3.—Miss Phyllis Wheatley Waters, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Phil Waters of Charleston, W. Va., graduated with high honors at the recent commencement of the University of Michigan. Miss Waters made an exceptionally fine record in athletics, being the first colored girl in the history of the University to win a "letter" in athletics. She was for four years a star on the basket-ball team and an expert gymnast. She also won four High School basketball team, being unanimously elected captain in her year, an unprecedented distinction for a member of the race. She inherits much of her physical and athletic prowess from her father, Col Phil Waters, who is known through out West Virginia as one of the best all-round baseball players, wrestlers, swimmers and boxers in his section of the country, and as an authority on all varieties of sport, being a regina of the University of Virginia Life published at St. Louis. Col Waters is a leader in politics also, and is a prominent figure at the state conventions of the republican party.

R. R. Church, Jr., Condemns Lynching.
Memphis, Tenn., July 2—What was a record breaking meeting of the famous Lincoln Republic League was held at Church's Auditorium Friday night, June 29. The largest political organization among colored people in the country, the Lincoln League is the rallying point of fifty thousand Negroes in Memphis and all the Negroes in west Tennessee. The first time the League had met since the burning of Ell Persons, and the beginning of the exodus of the Negro from this city and section, more than 3,000 people packed themselves in the Auditorium, while hundreds were turned away. No organized condemnation of lawlessness had been heard; no word of advice had been heard; no speech of hope and courage had been uttered. And the people said that their cup was running over.
The pent-up feeling of the patriots and patriarchs, together with a thousand women, found expression in a burst of cheers when Robert R. Church Jr., President and founder of the League, took the gavel. What the people expected is exactly what they got.
After his speech dealing with routine business, Mr. Church read the resolution prepared by the Executive Committee on the death of great Foraker, and then launched into a declaration against lawlessness.
"I would be untrue to you and to myself as your elected leader. I should remain silent against shame and crime of lawlessness of any character, and I could not if I would hold my peace against the lynching of burning-of a human being," he said.
He went on: "We must not lose hope, but keep our eyes open and press forward. What the Lincoln set out to do is exactly what the Lincoln proposes to do without a shadow of turning.
The President announced that the League endorsed heartily the work of the National Association for the advenance of Colored People.
THE NOBILITY OF THE PROGRESSIVE BAPTIST STATE SUNDAY CHOOL CONVENTION AND WOMEN'S MEETING HELD AT NASH VILLE, ARK.
It is not always numbers that make meetings; it is not always crowds that do work. Real meetings from a spiritual standpoint and real work in the light of divine service depends upon the character of the meeting, the spiritual tone, the moral base and this character of the meeting depends upon the nobility of those who make up the gathering. There is a real nobility, or at least should be a real nobility attend every Christian gathering, for it is supposed that every Christian gathering has for its object the glory of God, the exultation of the King by the subjects of the King. It was this distinguisher gfeature that made the Nashville meeting su

perior to any that it has been the editor's privilege to attend in a number of years. While the delegation was splendid, really larger than had been expected, owing to the distance of the meeting and the cost of the tare, and gaaln, owing to the great opposition that the Progressive Baptists have had in this state, but it was not numbers nor even the raising of money which was very gratifying, indeed, that was so praiseworthy, but it was the nobility and character of the exercises of the program and those who took part upon the program and the spirit that was manifested, and the motives that underly all of the work. From start to finish the idea of giving God the glory was paramount. Not a word of villification against any one was even spoken, not even was there a word said against the most ardent enemies of Progressiveness. The nobility of the individuals composing the meeting was too superior to engage in anything except that which was high-toned, dignified and first-class. This touch of nobility was given to the meeting by the respective presidents, Dr. G. A. Long president of the State Sunday School Convention, Mrs. M. C. Gaines, president of the Ladies' Convention. This touch of nobility having been given by the respective presidents was carried to a happy consummation by the delegates and visiting friends.
The finances of the two meetings were very encouraging as well as the spirit of the community in which the meeting was held.
The whole meeting demonstrated that the Progressive Baptists of Arkansas have a real state organization, and that in order to have state association they do not have to yield up their manhood rights nor their church prerogatives of anybody because the state organizations which afford public association and public church association is an established fact. For be it known, if our brethren of the old line persuasion could have so hampered the Progressives as to have prevented them from having a state organization, and thus having public spiritual association, they would have wonderfully hampered the spiritual field of the Progressive brotherhood, for there is nothing that is sweeter than public state Christian association, but the Ladies' State Association and the State Sunday School Convention is a reality, and the women and men who do not think as other women and men have somewhere to go, a real organization in which they can do work without being bossed, or stooping to what they believe to be erroneous and irregular. The meeting was the gathering together of God's real noblemen and noble women, and the meeting itself was high-toned in every respect, and satisfactory to the leaders of the Progressive movement from every point of view, both finan cally and attendance.

THE CHAPEL EXERCISE OF THE
NOTIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISH.
ING BOARD.
Tt was the privilege and pleasure
of the editor during his visit to the
National Baptist Sunday School Con:
gress, Nashville, Tennessee, to vial
the chapel and worship with the em-
ployees of the National Baptist Pub:
lishing Board. It was the delight and
fa real pleasure to be called upon to
Invoke the blessings of God upon that
splendid audience of scientific work
men engaged’ in turning out the
world’s Baptist literature, We were
never so touched in the experience
of our Christian lives as were we
upon that occasion, Busy, busy, busy
were everybody, from Dr. Boy® the
genius of the plant; Dr. Henry Allen
Boyd, the. manager of things there:
about, busy, busy, busy everybody,
Dut sweet indeed was the thought that
they were not too busy to leave thetr
work and gather together iit one
common chapel and pray; there tn
‘yoke the blessings of Almighty God
for the future and give him thanks
for the past, and to look up into His
‘face for the present. If the editor of
the People’s Defender had to judge
what was the strongest and most
powerful force in keeping in tact and
causing to run more than any other
one thing, he possibly would not namo
any individual, not even Dr. Boyd
himself as to his personaiity, but
would put the cause in the babit and
desire to pray, and bless God It is
this more than anything else, we be-
Heve, that has added success to the
‘efforts of this great man. At a cer-
tain hour, regardless to how much
ea is in, nor how busy the em-
ployees are, from Janitor to the most
expert workman, fs caused by the
management of the Board to drop
everything, lay aside every piece of
type, stop every machine, hush the
click of every typewriter and enter
into chapel hall, and thgre give praise
and honor and glory and thanksgiving
to Him that keepeth and gufdeth all.
It appears that while others have
fought and villifled that Dr. Boyd and
his cohorts and laborers have been
praying. That answers for thelr suc:
cess and the failure of thelr oppo-
nents, That was a great day, the
morning that the editor had the privi-
Jege to pray in the chapel ot the
National Baptist Publishing Board
for the 250 or more employees of that
Board. The editor serves notice on
tho enemies of Dr. Boyd and the Pub-
Mshing House now that they will have
to do something else besides fight to
win; they will have to outpray and
beat this old gentus living—People's
Datender.

The Star.
The crowds were tremendous July 4th. The felm lovers certainly get all that is due them when they attend the attractions of this popular house.

Chaplin will also be in evidence.

TRIENNIAL SESSION OF THE
MOSAIC TEMPLARS
OF AMERICA.
(Continued from page 1.)
the founder of the Order, and the world of fraternalism is watching with a very keen eye the sitting of this national grand session, for it is on the lips and heart of everybody that this great order in national triennial session will affirm the appointment of the National Grand Master by the permanent election of this young man to this very distinguished place of honor. It is the public opinion that the selection of the young Mr. Bush will be an honor worthy bested.
Our Present National Grand Master
Upon the death of the Hon. C. W. Keatts, the toga of Grand Mastership fell upon the late W. M. Alexander, whose cowardly assassination and death took place in Louisville, KY, several years ago. This incident is so familiar that it does not need repetition here, but that young man did yoman work in defense of the order, but when sent to heaven through the gate of blood, the toga fell upon the shoulders of the Aromatic Grand Master of the Order who was at that time the Hon. S. J. Elliott.
Dr. Elliott coming from the state of brain, good old Alabama, which hath produced so many men of great parts, has measured up with surprising accuracy and fitness to the position to which he came heir by the death of his predecessor, and to which he has been triennially elected by the body in session since that time. The Order under the management and supervision of this astute and logical thinker has continued its development even in a more rapid way than before, and under the guidance of his hand bids fair to become a world power. Dr. Elliott is not only an arduous, consistent and persistent fraternal worker, but is a friend maker, a logical speaker and capable of sending home to the hearts of his hearers the plans and schemes that he has ripened for the development of the institution, and it is public talk that if you do not want to become a Musical that you had better not meet and listen to the persuasive powers of Dr. S. J. Elliott, the National Grand Master.
The Marvelous Growth.
The marvelous growth in the Order doubtless is due to several things, first, to the sanity of the business methods and transactions employed, tor however good a matter may be, is it is toolfully conducted, it will go to the ground. Secondly, it is possibly due to the hustle and industry and the pushing of the good schemes inaugurated. Some people have splendid ideas, original and splendid; thought, thoughts that, if put into execution, might revolutionize a community and make great and honorable the producer, but for the want of industry and push, dies in its birth. The schemes of the Mosaic Templars of America have not only been wise, but they have had behind them real aggressive and industrious manhood and womanhood, and therefore the Order has grown from its insignificant city organization to a state and national organization, with a member, ship totaling into the 60,000, and with a bank account rising from an insignificant sum to the magnanimous sum of $228,138.77, which was the assets of the Order at the time of the death of its founder and National Grand Secretary.
What the Order Stands For.
Any organization that makes a bid for public patronage should have a basic foundation that is essential to the uplift of humanity. The Order of the Mosaic Templars of America stands first of all for morality, only a high class of men and women can remain members of the Order. Secondly, it stands for business efficiency. Every man and woman connected with the Order in a business way must have a clean bill of health as regards the records that pertain to the Order. Thirdly, it stands for racial development as is manifested by the erection of such a magnificent Temple as is found at the corner of Broadway and Ninth streets. Little Rock, Ark. It also stands for patriotism. This is manifested by the purchasing of $30,000 worth of Liberty Loan Bonds by the management of the institution. This again shows the sound business sense and management of the Order, for to invest in government bonds means a safe investment.
Why People Should Join the Mosaic Templars of America.
This question of why a man should act or not act is one of the most
important questions that can confront the human mind, but the reasons why people should join, or even flock into the Mosaic Templars of America are so very clear and plain until they do not need lengthy discussion. Every sensible and sane man and woman is looking for those institutions and organizations and plans that will materially better their general condition. In this respect one outsider improvement than does the Mosaic Templars of America. People should join this Order, first, because of the class of people constituting its membership, which is a select class of humanity. It is a pleasant saying that if you want to be among a crowd of gentlemen and ladies, join the Mosaics. Second, because it offers the easiest and soundest and safest insurance, both of death and sick variety, that is available to the man and woman of small means. No better policy can be found anywhere than that offered by the Mosaic Templars of America. Thirdly, one should join the Mosaics because when the policy becomes due, the beneficiary has no trouble in collecting it. If their friend or relative have died a member of the Mosaics leaving to them a policy, it is only necessary to prove the death claim and the policy will be paid without question, and on demand, and it is often paid if proof positive can be made before the individual is buried.
The Order is wisely divided into several departments. First, the Endowment Department. Second, the Uniform Bank Department. Third, the Juvenile Department. Fourth, the Monument Department. All of these departments working under one general Temple Board, directed by the genius of the secretary and the National Grand Master, assisted by the many State Grand Masters. All of these departments combined, according to the audit of National Grand Auditor, J. H. McConico, have a total asset of $228,138,77, with $20,000 invested in Liberty Loan Bonds, $140,000,000 deposited in the banks of the city of Little Rock, with a contingent fund of $40,000. This was the condition of the Order at the death of the National Grand Scribe. The departments have each increased, according to advises, in their revenue since that time under the management of the new National Grand Secretary.
The writer dofs his hat to the Monie Templars of America, and most heartily commends it to the Negro people everywhere—People's Deender.
There is a balm for those who sin,
And sympathy for those who weep,
Is measured arms in shadows deep,
But love and agony within
There is a tragedy in love.
Found in the rival and the foe,
And nature like a gentle dove
Sings solemnly and murmurs low.
There is a love that never dies,
Probed in the song of tragedy,
Which fate had deemed as cruelly wise
To set the bondage captive free.

Standing of Capital City League.
We are coming and our heads are bending low. We hear the gentle voices calling: Black Sox, you'd better go.

The Baptist Hill Swifts declared war on those Nationals and said they had to fight, so Manager Ellison made a date with McGraw to meet the first Sunday in July. So they did and those Swifts threw up the white flag in the seventh and cried, "We have enough." So Mr. Gray said it's a shame for those Nationals to impose on those boys, and we Maroons shall take their part and declared war with the Nationals. So Ellison, their manager, and Ellis, better known as Mooney, the field general, had a side talk and said it was hard to whip a nation on fire. So we will battle our $20,000 pitcher, here so we will battle it out. So Williams said I will go through, Ellis, if you will follow and give be plenty of hard hitting. So that was given and the Nationals sent the Maroons home with a sad tale to tell.

So look out, Mr. Sox, you'll get yours soon. I hope those Swifte's are enjoying themselves down in the cellar these hot days. Send me up some ice, McGraw.

Little Cardell Merrett, National young southnash, pitched like a big leaver Sunday, letting those B. H. Swifte down by a score of 10 to 2. I love my wife but O you Merrett.

Vaughn, the National's big catcher, is getting his eyes back on the ball again and was hitting it to all corners of the park Sunday and throwing like a demon.

Street said tell all the shortstops that he is in his old time form and will make their road rocky, crying to Shafter "Scoop it, kid, Hurt will take it."

Neal Boyd has resigned from woooging and he will try to keep cool but those umpires would make a preacher sin and a rabbit walk up and slap a hound.
Good bye, Campbell, we hate to see you leave. I know the fans will miss you. I hone that you won't grieve but farewell, Campbell, I hope I will see you again in some lonesome graveyard. O Lord, how long?

The boys will march now since the stumbling blocks are out of their path.
Maroon Dope.
Those boys went down on last Sunday to the count of 7 to 6, but they sure fought an up-hill battle and had those National boys praying for the lights to go out. It was clean up straighten up, brighten up days with the boys and they found that thinning was the best thing so the following were released: Messrs. Walter Patton, George Denton, Johnnie Frierson, Dement Battle and Gleaves.
At Greenwood Park July 4, 1917, the Black Sox again defeated the great Maroons for the third time this season. By Stratton, McGavock and Frye being out of the field, the Sox looked weak, but they were still too strong for the Maroons. Manager Stratton was not on the job but Captain Ware was. He used his young batteries. He took the first corner and did the work. Moorman had to go some for his big brother was waiting to take his place. Powell did the receiving for the Sox and caught in big league style. The box score follows:

At Greenwood Park July 4th the Nationals won a fast and exciting game from the Swifts by a score of 5 to 4. It was a pitcher's battle between Webster and Hall. Both teams gave the best support. Webster has been sick and just got back in the game, making Ellison's team look good for the 1917 pennant race. The Swifts are growing stronger and are playing good bad. The box score:

Ummm I will kindly ask the managers of each team if you make a change in your line-up please report to me; if you don't you won't see your official job score in the paper. You are allowed to call the game long enough to report to me. There is no one who can keep a correct score when men are being changed from one place to another on the field. So please remember and try to not do business in that way.

At Greenwood Park July 1st the hard-hitting Nationals of the Capital City League copped two games day by defeating the capitol Hill team and defeating Maracoons. Both teams of the Capital City League and moved up to second place in club standing. The first game was played by the Swifts. The youngster that McGraw used in the box pitched a good game but was poorly supported by his team, which made several errors behind him and failed to hit with men on bases. He had ladder and struck nine of hard hitters and gave up eleven scattered hits. The kid is a southpaw and one among the best.
Merrett also pitched a stiff game, but Shurman seemed to have it on Merrett by a margin. Both of them are youngsters and are doing great work for their team. Ellison said he will cinch second place and like to have the top but can't move those
