NASHVILLE GLOBE. MRS. CORA E. BURKE, G. W. C. DELIVERS HER ANNUAL MESSAGE VOLUME XII. Nashville, Tenn. July 25, 1917 To the Cancers and Members of the Grand Court of Tennessee. Greetings:— Dear Calantheans and Brother Knights: By a measure of time another cycle has been rounded out. In the course of life another station has been reached. Last year we were looking backward, today we are looking backward. Last year we were planning for the future, today we view the past. Today brings us together in the 14th Annual Session of the Grand Court Order of Calanthe of the Jurisdiction of Tennessee. Fourteen years and what work has been accomplished! What pleasure have we enjoyed! What burdens have we born! What suffering have we alleviated! What tears have been shed! It has been 14 years of good will and living together for one common cause. It has been one great pull together for the solidification and general building up of the order. We are indeed thankful to the Almighty God for allowing us to meet again in the fourteenth annual session. We are thankful for the many blessings He has given us. We are thankful that our lives have been spared and that we are permitted to enjoy life in a beautiful world He has given us for a dwelling place. We are thankful for what measure of success has come to us. We realize the fact that what has been accomplished has been done by the united effort of us all, working together for one common cause. Today we are united as never before. We stand as one great organization builder by the great men and women who have gone before. All great achievements of modern times have come through organization and co-operation and this must continue to be true. It is this spirit that has builted and adorned great cities and strengthened states and nations. Through and by it all great commercial and industrial enterprises of the modern world have been established, the wealth of the world increased, the nature conquered and made to serve the needs of men, ignorance and superstition, displaced by knowledge and true faith in blessings of civilization carried to the ends of the earth. It is this spirit of cooperation which should be dominant in us as a race. We should be as one great body having a common purpose and working for one great aim. It has been truly said that, "In Union there is strength." "United we stand. Divided we fall." These mottoes should be our guiding star leading us on and on. The world today is indeed passing through perilous times so many agencies are working together for the destruction of the world. Cyclones have devastated large areas of ground, destroying many lives and doing much damage to property. Floods have been many fires have swept across the cities burning homes and business houses. Bars are depopulating the earth beside destroying many cities and towns that has taken centuries to build up. Not satisfied with these agencies, people, some cities have killed, mobbed and burned our own people. We fill with a heart full of pity for our people who were victims of the riots in East St. Louis and we shudder at the thought of the poor wretch who was burned at the stake under our own noses. There is but one remedy and that is Prayer. We must pray and pray hard. It was the prayers of our forefathers and mothers that brought us from slavery. It will take the prayers of us today to right the wrongs which are being heaped upon us. We must pray and pray as never before, this one great thing to be wiped from the face of civilization that our people may be allowed to go their way in peace, to feel that God has made all men equal. We do not want our souls circumscribed. We want the world as a play ground for our talents and to dream of stars as other races do. Go forth my friend upon your way. Each obstacle despising. Prove by your efforts every day. To all that we are rising. In farming, trade and literature. A people enterprising. Our churches, schools and home life pure. Tell to the world we are rising. STATE OF THE ORDER. Although the price of food stuff has soared to almost the highest point and coal has brought the biggest prices known, and all necessities of life have gone almost out of reach, we have been able to hold our own. Not in many years has the cost of necessities been to say nothing of the luxuries. Yet we feel that we as a people have been the favored ones in God's hands. We have been able to keep what we had and add more mec. Our order has to some extent felt the exodus of our people to the north. Yet we believe that those who have gone are loyal Calantheans and will hold their membership wherever they be. And we who are left at home must urge upon those who have gone to continue to hold up the banner of Pythian and Calantheism wherever they be. Last year, the first year of our Petition Day Rally we were able to muster to our forces 1500 new Calantheans and more than 300 new Juveniles. This year we, realizing the perseverance of the times offered three prizes to the Courts that should bring the largest NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY---THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. number of new or instated members, Supreme Worthy Astrot has offered a prize to the Juvenile who makes the bell showing in all the Jurisdiction and our Grand Worthy Matron has also offered a special prize, aside from the banner and the $250 in Gold. We were anxious that all compete for these handsome prizes, some one must win. The prizes are here and will be awarded to the winner the last day of our session. You have done well, this year, also times have been very close, every thing very high and conditions so unsettled that to hold our own has put us up against a proposition. 1 am thankful to say that God has been with us. He has been our fortress and our strength. We have learned to lean heavily on His everlasting promise. We are happy to report 5 new Courts and 14 new Juveniles this year, with two courts to organize. These courts are practically new courts. They were organized as follows: Miles Court No. 192—New Chicago, a suburb of Memphis, organized by Sisr or Estelle Jones. Juanita Court No. 95—Athern, re- organized by Sir Kt. N. N. Reynolds, Boohill, No. 193—organized by Dr. A. Cruikshank, Boon Hill, Temp. Harriman Progressive, No. 198—at Harriman, organized by Sir Kt. N. N. Reynolds. Damocles, No. 97—Dancyville, Tenn reorganized by Sir N. N. Reynolds. Clifton eights Court, No. 199—Newport Tenn, organizer by Sir N. N. Reynolds. Princess Jew Court, No. 100, Whiteville, by Sister G. A. Shelton. Bowles Juv Court, No. 101—Memphis, Tenn., organized by Sister Estelle Jones. Queen Beeber No. 102—Memphis, organized by Sister Estelle Jones. Georgia Anderson, Juv. Court, No. We are indeed grateful to Dr. Crawford, the Grand Chancellor for his kindly advice and words of admonition and praise. At no time have our brothets withdrawn from our us. They have been our protectors and users. Much praise and assistance should be given them in their efforts. JUVENILES. Realizing the fact that the children of today are the men and women of tomorrow, we have put forth special efforts to bring into the order, the children. Each year finds us one year older and our lives one year shorter. Soon we are to quit this action of life some one must fill our places, prepared or unprepared. Thus it is, that the children must be prepared to step in when we fall out. Our Juvenile chamber is the training camp. they are trained to be men and women of whom we will not be ashamed, they are trained to held up the banner of the order and to take their places with the rank and file of the order. Each Court has been repeatedly urged to organize a Juvenile under its care and guidance. Many have compiled with the request and today we bring you 14 new Juveniles with a host of children who are being taught the principles of F. H. L. & K. L. and O. We must in all communities save the child, never before has so much stress been put on the conservation of the child. Millions of dollars are spent annually on education, leisure and recreation for the child. All these forces working together must wrought great results. How can the race rise higher if we fail to do our duty by the children. The children of today are the men and the women of tomorrow, here is a moral obligation resting upon us all, that should not go by unheeded. is a debt which we owe to the child, he should be trained and taught the correct principles of right living. If we fail to do our duty as men and women NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1917. PLOUD PHOTO MRS. CORA E. BURK. Grand Worthy Counselor Courts of Calanthe for Tennessee. Knoxville, Tenn.

Secretary of the Sunday School Congress of Nashville Tennessee last week. His coming was at the instance of the enterprising citizens, headed by a committee consisting of Dr. F. Smith, J. J. Amos. Extensive preparations for the meeting were made, and on last Tuesday night the Washington Street Baptist Church was the scene of an event that was attended by professional men of the city who been interested in putting their displays on at the church worked all day long Tuesday. The basement of the Sunday School and Church served as the display rooms for the Progressive people of this capitol city of West Kentucky. Whether the man was a boot black or a banker, he was allotted space. No such innovation as this has ever been put on by the Paducan folks. The fact that Rev. Mr. Boyw was coming created no little litter. Mr. Boyw was coming created of Revs. D. A. Smith, J. M. McCutcheon, J. S. Sanuels and Mr. Ellijah Umble, and was placed into a waiting automobile and carrier Grand Worthy directly to the home of Rev. Smith.

In the Juvenile department the children are taught the principles of Love, Kindness and Obedience. Love to God our Father. Kindness to one another and Obedience to their parents and Superior officers. They are to be manly men and womanly women. One race ever takes the place which you would enjoy in this world we must guard the child. We must throw around them the strong arm of protection. We must teach them to walk in the paths of rectitude. No better place for these teachings than in the Juvenile Courts of Calanthe. I have urged upon the Courts to organize Juvenile Courts under them. Bring in the children, Train them up and thus do your sare of the preservation of the race. Many Courts have heeded, yet there are still places where they should be Juvenile Courts. Hope that are another year around should roll there will not be one Court that does not have a Juvenile under its care. BONDS Each year requests have been made that all the officers of the various Courts should handle the money of the Courts should give bonds. This is a law and should be carried out to the officers of the Courts. You should safe guard your money after it has been misplaced and the officers have failed to give bond, it is to late then to recover. Protect your money while it is in your possession, if you (Continued on page 8.) Eloquent, Inspiring and Elevating- House Well Crowded Commends Pythianism. The central figure of the Pythian Grand Lodge was Roscoe Simmons, orator, bishop, and most useful Negro. He got in town Wednesday night, he said he had no business e. the Pythian fever has got him. The Pythian authority, and abilities of two parliamentarians, yet he represents two own lodge, a "country lodge" in Shinjuku. Mr.immons was a busy man from the minute he got here. His friends say that he can't stand up at the rate he is going, but thus far he stands up, and he said to a Globe eporer that the only important thing is to stand up as long as you can. As chief aid to Grand Chancellor Crawford, of whom he is ardent supporter, he presided at the "storm" session Wednesday, and with a parliamentary skill rare enough to excite imitation. he brought the Grand Lodge to the court. Once a time, Roscoe Simmons was the ablest and most versatile journalist. Now he is known as the most orator in the country. That goes without any color line getting into MRS. CORA E. BURK, by Counsellor Courts of Calanthe for Knoxville, Tenn. the equation. If ever a man had a message, Mr. Simmons had it, and ever there was an crator he is the man. Nashville, critical Nashville, that believes nothing and endures little, heard him Wednesday night. And Nashville saw him. With unstudied eloquence, with words falling from his lips like drops of rain from leaves on trees, with glee of perfect, with fire and calm, he moved an audience that was packed like sardines in a box in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Pure oratory, he man's collar bore only the slightest marks that he was talking on a hot night. Any man might have felt puffed up over that audience. Bishops, teachers, lawyers, men and women from every walk and station were there. And no one dissented when Doctor Crawford, putting Mr. Napier's motion to thank the "spokesman for a people" said the "speaker of deliverer" the finest person this city ever heard. A. N. Johnson expressed the thing, "Simmons is entirely himself and entirely new as the national figure," he said. The Globe doesn't report him, because the Globe an't report him. Two or three sentences are remem- bered. "I believe in racial separation in social things myself. When the six o'clock whistle blows, I want to see the black man go his way home, and the white man go his way home. And I want to see the white man stay home after nightfall." "In time of peace I am a Negro. When war comes, I become overnight an American citizen. But I am satis- fied." "Our is the only music. Let us sing our songs. The great trouble is that white people are trying to sing the Negro's songs, and the Negro is try- ing to sing the white man's songs. Both are out of tune." "Every nation has settled on these shores, and waited on its change. The Negro got here first, but if he waits Shelbyville Thronged Celebration at Fairground Uniform Rank Juvenile Band Present. Eight coaches of friends of Volunteer company No. Five of the Uniform Bank of the Knights of Pythias attended the annual outing, given at Shelbyville. Tenn., last Monday. This was acknowledged as one of the largest outing given by the Uniform Ranks of Nashville. Fracially all of the arrangements were in the hands of Major George Miller and Knight A. D. Morris. The celebration took place in Shelbyville. The train left the Union Station at 10:30, picking up passengers all along the road from Smyrna and Lavergne to Wartrace. Perhaps the biggest delegation was at Murfreesboro. While the centre of attraction was the soldier's Company of the Volunteer Company, the Juvenile Band from Lebanon house of Prof. Davis, was quite a drawing card. A full program had been arranged, and was carried out with clock-like precision. The band was undaunted by the moving rain the people continued to pour into the grounds. Upon arriving at Shelbyville, the train was met by a committee of citizens, made Tennessee. MAJOR GEORGE HALL, Nashville, Tenn. up from the local lodge, and welcomed to Shelbyville. The committee consisted of the leading business and Professional men of the city. The parade was formed in front of the station and the line of march was through the principle streets of Shelbyville to the park.

Liberty came through war, and not peace." "The American Flag is the only flag with stars in it. God made the stars, and He put them in our flag to shine for all men." There was much more, of course, and bursts of oratory with terrestrial settings, hat is t osay, the people followed them. Children can understand Mr. Simmons. Rosea Simmons is the popular figure of both white and colored people. But he doesn't strive to please either race. He would seem to seek to serve. Thursday night he returned to Illinois to take up his Chautauqua work. The Negroes has men talking for them before white Americans. GRAND CHANCELLOR CRAWFORD'S ANNUAL ADDRESS TO PYTHIANS --- Nashville, Teen, July 24, 1917. To in, Grand Lodge Ouest, Grand Represenatives, Deputy Grand Chanc- leers, Ocuers and Members of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Eur- pea, and the United States. Section of Tennessee, Greec int: Today brings us to the clos, or another Pythian Year, and we are again assembled together for the purpose of reviewing the year's work so as to revoice over our success and profit by our failures. We are informed and favored by Ditte Providence in being per- mitted to live to again assemble and look into each other's faces, and to legislate and transact business for those who have entrusted to our care and deliberation their best interests. Many of those who met with us and lived as we now live one year ago as today are cold and silent in the narrow square of our town. We are in the Great Beyond. This should remind us that we, too, are sojourn- ers and on our swift march to the graz. Let us then renew our deter- mination to dedicate ourselves anew to the great service of God and to the service of our fellow-man, so that when our summons come to go, it will be good for us to good for the good and faithful servant; enter that into the joy of the Lord." It was a question with many of us as to whether it was wise and expedient to hold a session of the Grand Lodge this year or not, owing to the general condition of the country financially and economically. Many of those who stand high in the councils of the Order whole suggesting a postponement of the Grand Lodge, calling attention to the general conditions and the high cost of living, have also felt that these suggestions under careful consideration; submitted them to the Supreme Cenacle and upon his advice, it was deemed wise to keep up the regular meeting of the Grand Lodge, even though only a short session was held as this would prevent demoralization of our organization and be in harmony with the Constitution. Besides there are matters of vast importance to be finally acted upon at this session. To reduce the cost of this session to the minimum and make it a purely business one it was decided to eliminate all outside issues and hold a strictly business session. With this in view the proclamation calls calls having reports to make before this body to show them short; and to the point. I want to appeal to all of you who are here representing the various lodges to be prompt to business remembering the great sacrifice that your lodges have made to send I you here. Let us work together in the work of liberating upon all matters pertaining to the future welfare of the Order prayerfully and carefully, keeping in mind at all times the best interests of those whom we have been sent to represent. If we will do this, forgetting self and selfish ends, we can expedite our business and so home having done our constitutions, our Order and ourselves great good by coming here. **Obituary.** "Life is a vapor lost in death. An echo between two worlds." One can have very little sympathy with the poet who uttered these words. Life cannot be lost, because it emulates from God, and therefore cannot be enquished. There is no death for the human soul because it is the soul that cannot in vindication of his own existence permit any part of his life to perish. What we know as death is simply change of the soul from one plane of existence to another. A blessing has been pronounced upon those who die in the Lord; and I say to you that those who die true Pythians cannot be far from the king, dom of Heaven, because we are told that the foundation of that kingdom is how The spirit of the true Pythian transcends all consideration of earthly benefits and reaches into the very heart of the universe, the unify and harmony of souls. It is this spirit that must in the final consummation of the ages prove the healing of the nation. These departed knights are our sacred and permanent possessions. Their association with us will ever prove a potential force in shaping the character of our Order as long as we belong to the many brave knights who departed this life during the year was our beloved and lamented brother, knight, Sir J. P. Frierson, ex-Grand Lecturer. Dr. Frierson was beloved and known of us all. He was one of the founders of the Grand Lodge in Tennessee and was at all times an ardent defender of the truths and principles of Pythian Knighthood. He labored hard for the spread and growth of Pythianism in the state. His savve and astute dome will be missed in the council of the Order. Too great a tribute cannot be paid to the memory of this treasure of Pythianism. Truly can it be said that in the death of Sir J. P. Frierson, the Order has lost one of its greatest supporters and Pythianism a true and tried worshiper. May a kind and loving Providence spread the ball of peace and rest over these our departed dead, and may restore them until the great resurrection morn. Condition of the Order The general condition of the Order, throughout the state, is remarkably good considering the hard times, war prices and the general unrest among our people. Many of our lodges have been greatly reduced by numbers by the exodus of colored people to the north. But despite Obituary. these things. Some progress has been made during the year along all lines. Some of our lodge's work is not as good as this is the case in the most prosperous years. From now on during these times of arrest, war罪 and high cost of living, there will be a g eat tendency in our lodges to fall behind and drop out. What is needed and must be done by all of us in authority is to encourage our members in every way possible not to give up and drop out of their lodges, but to hold on and keep up their dues at all hazards. We must not cripple the knocker; we cannot afford to cripple the progress of our Order by adverse criticism. We must all be up and a doing and of one accord if we would keep our Order on the high wave of prosperity. If we think there is bad management and have something to offer that is better or that will help conditions, then let us like men, and like good and brave Pythians come forward and urge our ideas without tear and without malice. We must have a male strenuous effort to organize new lodges during the year; and in a measure has been quite successful; but nothing operates so strongly against creating new lodges and rehabilitating old ones as the scarcity of money. The following new lodges have been set up during the year: Zinc Lodge No. 745, Mascot, Tenn. Sunshine Lodge No. 246, Providence, Tenn. Port Royal Lodge No. 247, Port Royal, Tenn. Parker's Pride Lodge No. 248, Yuma Teen St. Phillip's Lodge No. 249, Sharon, Tenn. Much credit and praise are due the Deputy Grand Chancellors, who have stood at the head of their districts, working, advising and striving in every way to keep the cause of Pythianism ever alive in their districts. Lish here to acknowledge to them my grateful thanks for their hearty support and co-operation in our great work. Endowment Department. I am proud to be able to report that the Endowment Department is meeting promptly all just chides upon it, when they come in the proper shape. This is a record to which I am proud. I am proud to be a double pride, because we have adcribed to the world that we would pay substantially every obligation promptly to the widow and orphan, and not to do so would be a violation of one of the most sacred obligations of our pledged to perform to our brethren. To do this, however, every lodge, every member and every lodge officer must strictly see to it that every law and every regulation pertaining to the successful carving on of this department is honestly lived up to by the members and by the officers of the department to dislodge with this department for it is the most vital part of our institution. If we do not pay we cannot live as an institution there have been several instances brought to our notice, where it looks as if some of our lodges and officers have not been as honest in their dealings with the law, and they right to have been. We have several lawsuits pending and I believe have lost one, all because of bad business methods on the part of some officer of a subordinate lodge. I here warn you that the Endowment Department is one of the integral branches of the Order, and is yours. You are a part of it and when you rob it by neglecting it or stealing it up the full requirements of the law governing this department, you not only cripple the Order but you rob yourselves. Do not let those remain in your several lodges who are not paying their Endowment and other lodge dues. They do as those who are paying, and if they in the Order and the department has to pay their dues, being the members who are loyal and who pay, besides the Order untold injury. May I urge upon every one here present to return to his home and help to make strong the Endowment Department by seeing to it that no one remains in the lodge who does not pay all of the obligations upon him as a member in good standing. If you do the work the department will offer a fountish and ever be the most fascinating branch of the Order. Court of Calanthe. I am able to report to you again concerning this department that peace and harmony still prevail among its officers and that it is going forward with rapid strides in its work of Fidelity, Harmony and Love. Mrs. Cora E Burke, the efficient Worthy, Counsellor is still exhibiting nobility in administering the affairs of the Court, and with more help and encouragement from the knights will build up an organization among our women that will be of untold good in its work and influence for the general uplift of our women and children. The day has come when women must be considered and recognized in at the times of war. If let us as a great Order not be behind in according to them their rightful place among us. Uniform Rank. This rank is the military department of our Order. It is the department which interests the young men by giving them a training in military discipline, which they have been heretofore unable to get otherwise. The department under the efficient control of Brigadier General Preston Tether takes on what he and is steadily growing to do what he would (Continued on page 5.)

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods: rubbing on useless "fresh flesh," or following some foolish physical culture stun, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract properly assimilates the food you eat. Drink a glass of cold water four or five times a day and take the following preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere, which seemingly embodies the missing elements needed by the body to food into rich fat-laden blood. This preparation is called tononile, and much remarkable testimony is given as to its successful use in flesh building. Tononile which comes in the form of a small non-injurious tablet, taken at meals and mixed with the digesting food, tends to prepare fat, flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept and carry them to the starved portion of the body. You can readily picture the transformation that additional and previously lacking flesh making material should bring to your cheeks, filling out hollows about your neck and muscle building elements so that your taking on from 15 to 30 pounds of solid healthy flesh. Tononile is harmless, inexpensive, efficient. All druggists have it and are authorized to refund your money if weight increase is not obtained as per the guarantee found in each large package. Caution:—online is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired.

Scott of the Tuskegee Institute in writing the scenario for the master photoplay. "The Birth of A Race," has held an important series of conferences here during the past week, working over the vast amount of material which they have assembled during the past week. He has been put into the form of a story which will be ready for the filmmakers by the last of September. Prior to his visit here, Mr. Wheeler visited Memphis, Mound Bayon, Mobile and Atlanta. He has been most cordially received everywhere he went and reports that every opportunity has been given him to study racial conditions as they obtain in the South. "Everyone," says Mr. Wheeler, "seems to know of the photoplay and I am going to see it." He will run in the South as well as the other sections of the country." In an address before the Summer School, Mr. Wheeler announced that nearly all of the capital stock had been sold to produce a picture, but that it is now necessary to push the sales with vigor in order to assure the big picture that the producers have planned. He invited the teachers and others interested, to become members of the Corporation and thus help to make the production a success. Each membership entitles the holder to one share of the production of memberships were taken by the teachers, and workers here. In describing some of the scenes of the Birth of a Race, Mr. Wheeler stated that it will cost $45,000 alone to create one of the temples which will be shown on the screen for only about five minutes. This will be a complete reproduction of one of the old Egyptian temples created in the days of early Negro civilization, thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Mr. Wheeler has spent many months of research unearthing and verifying facts covering early Negro civilization. Another scene which he describes will require twelve thousand people, all of whom will wear specially made costumes. Mr. Wheeler left here Tuesday for Chicago where the home office of the Birth Of a Race Photophy Corporation is located in the National Life Building. He planned to stop over in Montgomery, "the cradle of the Confederacy," Birmingham, and Nashville in further quest of material and for good locations for staging the various scenes. RECOGNIZING DR. EOYD AS A BIRD THAT SOARS TOO HIGH FOR HIS LITTLE HOT AIR GUN. The Editor of the Vanguard Takes A Fling At Miss Nannie Burroughs. If the public press is to be credited, a few weeks ago found the little editor and president of the Vanguard in Atlanta standing upon the platform vilifying and accusing Dr. Boyd, for said he, on that occasion, "all who went into the publishing board at the beginning was honest but Boyd. He has carried it (the publishing house) away on his shoulders and now seeks to hand it down of his children." First, he might be properly styled "Booker the Meddlesome" for think of it, one public man standing up in public making an expression about another public man like that, that all were honest but Boyd. How does he know? There is no greater disgrace that can come to a man than the disgrace that he can heap upon himself, and no man heaps a greater disgrace upon himself than the disgrace of lying, to become a public scandier, and especially to scandalize those of noble parts. He has carried it away on his shoulders, said the villifying editor, and seeks now to hand it down to his children, referring to the Publishing House. Not only does he prove himself a villifier, but he demonstrates that he himself and those who entered into the publishing house to begin with, and those who have been associated with the publishing house, including the entire Morris ring of which he himself forms a little niche, were a set of the biggest fools that ever saw the moon, to let any man in broad open day time walk off with a publishing house on his shoulders demonstrates that they were an ignorant gang that ought to hush. It demonstrates also in that respect that Boyd is a Sampson, for that is the way Sampson removed the gateposts he carried them away on his shoulders while his enemies slept. It is not the goodness of the editor of the Vanguard that he did not walk off with the Arkansas Baptist College on his shoulders, but the editor of the People's Defender saw him trying to shoulder it, and made him put it down. We suppose that's the why that he is in such a rage. The eyes of the people are upon him and won't let him walk off with the Arkansas Baptist College, but possibly the meanest firing that he attempts is the firing at the children of this genius. Well, beyond a doubt, if the editor of the People's Defender were Boyd, and had walked off in broad-open daylight, with everybody looking at me with a publishing house on my shoulders, before the living God, I would give it to my children. But how wicked that is, especially when every evidence, both public and private, testifies that it is not true, that the publishing house belongs to the people. But the Vanguard man does not stop with his wickedness there, he takes a fling at Miss Burroughs, and asks "who built the ark," and compares it to the Publishing House, and modestly suggests from his article that the Baptists have found and other thief in Miss Burroughs simply because that young woman with ability, forethought and industry and public honor and integrity has been sufficiently influential as to gather about her enough people and means to erect a great school on Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C., and now because she and her Board will not stand for it to be pillaged and wrecked and ransacked by a lot of grafters and men who have not put forward a single effort to establish it, he, we say, accuses her in so many words of being a thief. Wonder why he does not build up something instead of running around trying to tear down what other men and women have built up. Neither Dr. Boyd nor Miss Burroughs are found running around the country trying to tear up the Arkansas Baptist College which he claims to have built and been the genius of, and then besides that, he claims to be one of the secretaries of the Home Mission Board. Think of one secretary gousing and nosing and trying to sit up strife against other secretaries, for Dr. Boyd is secretary of the Publishing Board and Miss Burroughs is secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention. The Board has wisely stood by Miss Burroughs as the Board has stood by Dr. Boyd. The grafters and schemers and planners will have to grin and endure it. —People's Defender. LET PUBLIC SPEAKERS BE CARE FUL THAT THE DO NOT COM MIT THEIR RACE TO A SHAME FUL POLICY. The Honorable Hoseks Conklin Simmons Sneaks in Little Rock, Ark. During the Triennial Session of the Mosaic Templars of America held in the city of Little Rock many noted orators addressed the assembly, none however, more noted than Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who, as we understand it, is a nephew of the late great industrial father, Booker T. Washington, and upon whom many persons attempt to place the toga of Mr. Washington as the orator and speaker of the Negro race. Much of the speech of Mr. Simmons was brilliant and admirable, but if he is quoted correctly by the daily press, one expression or one sentence did for his speech what one kick of a cow that gave a lot of milk did for the pall-turned it all over, made the whole thing almost worthless, for one bug one fly in a churn of milk almost incapacitates it for use. Mr. Simmons is quoted as saving, referring to the white man; Mr. Simmons said, "Let the American Negro learn lessons in progress from this teacher of the world" and referring to himself and his race he said, "And since my debt of gratitude to him for all the benefits of freedom can hardly be paid, I must serve him in return." If Mr. Simmons is correctly quoted, he doubtless forgot himself, or decided to play wonderfully to the gallery at this period of his speech. That part of the sentence that said, "Let the Negro learn lessons of progress from this world teacher" is an admirable thought and one that meets all of our approval, but when he said or intimated that he and his people must serve the white man and his people, because he feels himself under a debt of lasting gratitude for what he has received, is so obnoxious and nauseating to thinking Negroes and thinking men all over the country until the editor of the People's Defender cannot resist the temptation to say, nay. It is true that we say, in lasting obligations to the white man for the advantages of civilization and religious thought and culture of every kind, but we hold that the white man is under equal obligation to the Negro for what he hath received from him, for while the Negro has received the culture and refinement of the white man, the white man has received the brawn and muscle and its wage from the Negro, and therefore one is under as much obligation as the other. This old talk of having to serve the white man because of our liberty and freedom and because of the benefits we receive by reasons of the civil war and by reasons of contact with the white man's civilization, is giving the white man himself the wrong idea; it's making him believe that the Negro ought to serve him eternally, and that is, be his foot mat, be his slave, because of such benefit, but not so; the debt of gratitude that the Negro owes the white man for the benefits of his civilization is squared up with by the debt of gratitude that the white man owes to the Negro for the benefits he has received as result of the Negro's labor in this country, for while the white man has made the Negro a civil being, the Negro has made him a millionaire, thus they even up. Mr. Simmons is wrong, and it is this idea that is keeping the white man full of prejudice toward the Negro; it is this idea that is keeping him from giving the Negro his justice, his rights, because he feels the Negro is under eternal obligations to him for what he has done for the Negro, he never once thinks of what the Negro has done for him. In making public speeches, men should be exceedingly careful lest they act one-sidedly and give somebody a club with which to crack the head of himself and his race. The Negro has no more right to serve the white man than the white man has to serve him. They both have a right to serve each other, as citizens of one common country, as brothers of one common religion, as patrons and freemen of one-common government. No man has a right to serve another man in the sense that another man is superior to him, only as his ability, his civilization, his Christianity makes him superior, and even then he should not be superior in his freedom, in his rights to act, in his rights to be. The Negro has no right to serve the white man in the sense that he should deny any of his God-given privileges and rights as a citizen. They should co-operate one with the other, and all as free men. —People's Defender WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED BY NATIONAL BAPSTEI CONVEN- TION IN THE PURCHASE OF THE BOSCOBEL THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE AND SEMINARY AT NASHVILLE, TENN. J. P. Robinson. If there is any time in the life of the National Baptist Convention of the United States, unincorporated, should be proud and eager to work for a great cause, it is now. Since the purchase of these buildings and campus for the theological school, there should be springing up in the breast of every one of our denomination, to give for a great cause which shall read down to the honor and pride of the denomination and race. I say this because whatever is good for the denomination is good for the race, whatever uplifts one Negro upon the American Continent uplifts the whole race, and whatever is upbuilding to one Negro is also upbuilding to all, for it is well known that upon the arrival largely, the Negro is upbuilding to the outside world. This is an opportunity for the whole race, whether denominational or otherwise, to the advancement of the race and thus give to themselves a great name by supporting this worthy enterprise. We have thousands of young ministers as well as old ministers who are well equipped to the opportunity of studying in a Theology school. Now the opportunity is opened for the first time for them to improve themselves in the Gospel ministry. Some of the strongest minds in our denomination are yet undeveloped and only the living God knows what they will amount to if given a chance. This is the first controlled school in the Negro Baptist denomination, and we should lay all petty jealousies and put our shoulders to the wheel, and push forward this Institution to a great success and make it what it should and ought to be. The joy of such an enterprise should ring into the heart and life of every Baptist, for out of the institution must come many of the students, and we must all remember that for fifty years we have been struggling to build schools and colleges for the benefit of our race, and to some extent we have succeeded admirably. We must remember that we were almost in a preparatory stage to teach the men and women of a rising generation. The burden was too hard for a burden stricken race to carry all proponents of a complete development of our race, so the ministry was left out to a large extent. I admit that many of our ministers have received Theological training. That is true of the writer, as well as many others. Had it not been for the generosity of the colleges built by the white people for the colored, and in these institutions, chairs of Theology were placed to assist co-ordination with the ministry, we would have been far short of great leaders; but now the time has come and the Lord has given us an opportunity to begin the work along the above said lines for ourselves. This we must accept and be thankful for the gift that the Lord has made for he has indeed given us an opportunity to work and show ourselves how to work. It will now remain to see whether we will go forth in the name of our Master and do this work that he has put in our hands to do. Let us not cease to work and pray until our ministry is aroused to the necessity of an educated ministry. Never in the history of our racial life have we great need for sane men of thought, men of learning and wisdom, men of learning to lay their lives upon the altar, for the advancement and success of the advancement and race. Such an Institution as we have is calculated to bring to the denomination such honor and glory as has been brought by the great National Baptist Publishing House, which has given to the race great commercial rating. Such an institution will give to us standing positions in the masses of the best thinking people, which will cause our children to call us blessed in our graves. In the next place we will gain influence in the world of letters and we will put into the columns of the rate great assets of material wealth and it will be seen that the men who lived today did not live for naught. In order to conduct this work all know that it will take money and we must, at all hazards furnish the means to do the things that we should do. Let us not spend our time in the labor of the earth because all of that is simply lost time for every man will be remembered by what he has done. The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Let us lay aside every weight and sin that so easily beset us, and let us run this race with patience, looking to Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of our faith. The People's Defender.

Madam C. J. Walker, Manufacturing Co. NEGRO BAPTISTS MEET DR. GAYLES DELIVERS ODRESS OF IMPORTANCE AT SHELBY MEETING. Shelby, Miss. July 17—The General Missionary Progressive Baptist State Convention of Mississippi opened here at 12 o'clock yesterday in the Mount Beulah Church, of which Rev J. M. Williamson is pastor. The delegation is of such proportions that other quarters will be sought for the holding of the meeting. The introductory sermon was delivered by Dr. F. H. Cook, one of the most prominent narcissists of the race. He urged the narcissists to be clean and declared that there were opportunities in the southland and deplored conditions that made the exodus possible. Dr G. W. Gayles, the president, has for many years occupied many prominent positions. For years he represented Bolivar County in the Senate of Mississippi, and during his address referred to ex-United States Senator, L. Q. C. Lamar as a model statesman, after whom many of the present statement was made. "God lead the Israelites into the land of promise, and as a race I believe the dawn is just ahead." Many committees were appointed and business of a routine nature transacted. Dr. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss. president of the National Baptist Convention, was greeted with apis a new day. The world is marching phrase when he arose and said: "This forward as never before, and we are standing upon the threshold of the world, ever seen, and we must stand up and be counted. Our forefathers in every emergency of American history indiscretely left our imprint, and while our rights are denied us in a measure, this is not the time to do a measure, to be patriotic. The southern white man is not our enemy, and we are his best friends, and we must know that better opportunities for the education of our children is essential and that lynch law must give way to justice. Our children are not the only people for special privileges or social equality, but we are demanding an opportunity to prove ourselves worthy of the civilization of today. We want a man's chance; to ask more would be foolhardy, to ask less would be unmanly. I hope this convention will send a delegation to Jackson to petition the Legislature to establish a reformatory where children of tender age may be taught and not sent to convict them to be beaten. We would like to see these situations were immediately offered by Dr. G. W. Alexander of Vicksburg, and the following committee was elected: Revs. Edward P. Jones, Vicksburg, Miss; J. L. Williamson, Shelg; B. W. Gayles, Greenville; C. H. Booker, Greenville; E. T. R. Fox, Arcadia; C. B. McCoy, Vicksburg; A. W. Looney, Shelby and C. G. Glenn. Many applications were filed before the committee on time and place inviting the convention to hold its next meeting. We are pleased to have two of the most prominent Negroes of the United States, are expected to address the convention on Thursday evening. It is thought the convention will financially assist the National Theological and Training Seminary which is to be opened at Nashville in November. —The People's Defender. BOOK LOVER'S REVIEW CLUB.

The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get a small box of kidnec from any druggist, take one tablet before each meal followed by a glass of water for a few days, and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous treatment is made from a formula of a specialist in the treatment of kidney trouble, and has been used for geerations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Kidnec can not injure anyone, and will be found a wonderfully effective remedy for all kidney ills. They are inexpensive and can be bought by the dozen at any drug store.

The speech of Dr. Michaela to the Reichstag, which was expected to indicate the attitude of the imperial government toward peace as well as internal reform, told no new story. Censored and fragmentary reports of the address go to show that it was kaiserism and Hindenburgism that spoke through Michaelis. The government is ready for an honorable peace. The government has nothing to regret in connection with the means it has adopted of waging war. The submarine campaign is both justified and successful. No date can be set for the victory that is to come, but triumph is none the less sure for all that. The Michaelis speech was echoed by Hindenburgs guns. Or possibly it was the other way round. At any rate, German activity on a large scale developed not only in the west, but in the east. Little or much may have been accomplished. As far as the French line is concerned, it is reasonably certain to be little. But a demonstration has been given. German arms have been shown to be still capable of an offensive or several offensives. German courage can screw itself up. There is no need to be gloomy, no need to lose trust in Kaiserism plus divinity. The words of the chancellor and the guns of the field marshal are seen to be very much in unison. For the foes of Germany an interesting study is presented. It is for them to decide whether German junkerism is really as confident as it professes to be. If the imperial government is sincere in its faith in victory, then the allies might profitably try to figure out on what that faith is based. Obviously, there is a great deal of power yet in the German armies. The proof of it in Galicia ought to go a long way toward counterbalancing the majority vote of the Reichstag in favor of peace. It is still to be doubted whether the voice of the people in Germany will raise itself so loudly as to command a hearing. When it does achieve that, then it will be time to acknowledge the fact. Of course, even if the autocracy has determined upon peace—peace at the best terms obtainable—it would fight desperately against any appearance of having been forced into that situation. It would use cloudy clouds and talk in terms of confidence, just as it is doing today. As to the Reichstag, its attitude on the voting of a war credit will show whether its spinal column is made of iron or rope COAL It is becoming evident that the coal situation is not going to mend itself. There would be another job for Hoover and there is never a doubt that he would prove equal to the occasion. It is an indisputable fact that he has doubled in price one year, and there was no reason, no excuse, except that the thing could be done, and certain people believed that they were entitled to "all that they could get." The holdup man has that same theory. But after all, the holdup man would probably object if he were to be compared with the fellows who have been plundering the coal consumer. The man with the bun might say that he did not rob everybody and did not bear most heavily upon those who have little or nothing, that he was not taking the last pennies from widows and orphans. And he might claim that he was taking a chance of getting his head shot off. While the coal robbers were not even taking the chance of going to prison. Unless some one is put on the job, and it will take a real man for that job, there will be no improvement in the coal situation, despite the fact that a secretary or two have been talking to the big coal barons. The American regulars have adjusted themselves speedily to most of the French ways of living in the villages where they are billeted, says the Associated Press correspondent. Of course, the French aversion to drinking water at meals will be a constant source of annoyance. Silent picketing has been resumed at the White House as a protest against the president's action in pardoning sixteen suffragettes from the workhouse recently. Wouldn't the protest have been more effective if the women had refused to accept the pardons? It is interesting to reflect that American comments on what is going on in Germany are probably fully as enlightened as were the German comments of a few weeks ago on what was going on in the United States. If the late Czar is still able to find snow to shevel, he is in great luck as contrasted with the American patriot who is compelled daily to match his wits and energies against those of the redundant potato bug. Well, the street car people have placed seats on the north side in the transfer station for the Negro. Thanks to the committee of ladies who took the matter up with the street car people. Oh, joy! Nobody, after all, can accuse those pacific Russian regiments of lacking courage. They avoided combat with the Germans; but think what they have coming at the hands of Mr. Kerenky! Then again, if the garbage can could just realize on the bouquets and things that are tossed at it, would it not be the very aristocrat of the household establishment? No, the family meat purveyor is not necessarily performing, a patriotic duty by encouraging meatless days when he gives you a slice that is two-thirds bone. Another effective way of beating the coal baron would be to order an efficient smoke consumer. Nor would this displease anybody but the laundryman. If a twenty-knot ship is virtually immune from torpedoes, it may help to explain Gen. Goethals' liking for steel ships in preference to wooden rubs. The list of immortals should be enriched by the addition of Mr. Battle, who joined the infantry, and Mr. Valient, who is to become an aviator. If we were more deeply interested in the war we would not be so keenly interested in criticising the men who are trying to run the war. Owens, the cute cuss of the Gate City Bulletin, will get after you good and strong if you leave the final letter from his name. When forced to decide between raising prices and reducing the portions restaurants usually compromise by doing both. Luther Cummings and Fred Shock ley have no business in a bone-dry town. They look too heart-broken Oh, Misery! Two hundred babies have been named for Jeannette Rankin, and she hasn't even started to run for the presidency. Wouldn't you hate to be waiting for food while the senate was trying to pass a bill to get something edible to you? It is not only necessary to determine how peace can best be secured, but also how the best peace can be secured. "For strategic reasons" is a first-rate alibl for a buffeted army, but it isn't worth a hang to Friend Husband. We had a stupenteous time hobbling with the Pythians and Caulanthens for the last few days. While there is life there is hope, but it isn't a very strong hope when the doctors hold a consultation. By the way, is that Danbury hat concern still making hats, and are the union hatters working for it? The fellow who is forever feeling much abused is fit company for neither man nor beast. If you know enough to keep still, one important part of your education has been attended to. The draft was a bit wearing on the home, but hardly more so than on the composing room.

To the Editor of The Globe: Sir: From innumerable experiences of plots, conspiracles and acts of violence contrived and committed in the United States by the secret agents of the German autocracy, it seems reasonable to believe that the race riots in East St. Louis were also contrived and fomented by German agents. It is well known that secret agents of the Kaiser's government have been carrying on a treasonable propaganda among the Southern Negroes for many months; and numerous arrests of these Prussian propagandists have been made in every Southern state and reported in the southern newspapers. The object of this web of conspiracy, culminating in the outbreak in East St. Louis, would obviously be to bring about a race war in the United States, and thus to prevent the Amerlcan army from going to Europe. These premises being, I think, logical and undeniable, it would be desirable that an official inquiry into the causes of the East St. Louis riots should investigate the following questions: 1. Whether the Negroes in East St. Louis were in the first place instigated to make a demonstration and supplied with arms to make that demonstration by agents of the Kaiser's government. 2. Whether the white mobs were in situated to attack the Negroes and led to assault by agents of the German government. 3. Whether agents of the German government themselves shot Negroes and burned their dwellings; or possibly paid other persons to commit these crimes. It is quite probable that the majority of the outrages and the most barbarous, cruel and cowardly ones were perpetrated not by Americans at all, but by agents of the Prussian autocracy and, perhaps, by ruffians and German sympathizers whom they had hired for the occasion I am, sir. Your obedient servant, BERTRAND SHADWELL, Natural Bridge, Va., July 20. COLORED CITIZEN'S CLUB PLAN ENTERTAINMENT FOR COMPANY G.

(Continued from page 1.) have it be, one of the progressive departments of the Order, attracting to it the best young men of the race. At the session held here in Nashville last year you levied a tax upon each member of the Order for the benefit of the Uniform Rank. This amount paid by quite a number of the members is of much benefit to the rank in heirs of on successfully its affairs. It is hoped that for the first time in the history of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee that we will be well represented at the Supreme Lodge Encampment by the Uniform Rank. This Encampment will be held in St. Louis, Mo., next month. If you have not already organized a Uniform Rank in your lodge and proceed upon you to return home and proceed upon you to organize a company, and I am going to doing you will infuse new life into your lodge, and attract young men who are outside of the Order. On account of the high cost of living and because of the change in the meeting place of the Grand Lodge, at so late a date, it was deemed wise not to hold an encampment at this session; and, too, as it was intended to have as great a number of the rank attend the great Encampment at St. Louis as possible, many not being able to get a leave of absence from their places of employment more than once during the summer. Law Department I am pleased to be able to report to you that the law department has guarded carefully all the legal interests of the Order that have arisen from time to time. Our Grand Attorney, Sir J. C. Napier, has at all times applied the law and a skill in handling all matters coming to him, and has safely steered us over many entanglementes that were calculated to involve us in litigation had they not been carefully and judiciously handled. We have several cases pending now against the board, but they are cases that we have just right to pay and hence the suits. We have been extremely fortunate in handling the many cases that came up for adjustment, in not having more lawsuits than we have, but wherever a claim has the least blamble of being a just one we make hake to pay it, believing that it is better to have it handled. In involve the Order in a long string-out lawsuit upon a mere technicality. Burial Bureau This department of the Order is new. It went into operation October 1, 1916. A full report of its operation will be made to you at this session by those whose business it is to handle the affairs of the Burial Bureau. It was quite a while before we could convince the rank and file of the Order that it was a wise piece of legislation to operate the burial department in conjunction with the Order. It will be helpful in saying all of you will agree with me that the Order took an advance step when it added to add this feature. If I mistake not, the secretary of this department has informed me that every single claim has been paid. Think what a source of pleasure it ought to be to all of us to know that the obligation to bury our brethren has been carried out absolutely and there are no undertakers and others complaining because of the failure of our lodges to promptly pay them for their services in burying our dead. Such promptness in all affairs that come to us financially will give the Order that prestige that will cause them on the outside to dock to its standard and crowd its doors for entrance. Bear in mind, too, that all this has been accomplished without adding a single penny to the taxes or dues of the member. Official Acts. Immediately after the adjournment of the Grand Lodge Session in July, 1917, a proclamation was issued detailing an account of the important legislation that was enacted at the session of the Grand Lodge. This proclamation was sent to all of the lodges for their guidance and consideration. Another proclamation followed shortly after the first calling attention to the establishment of the Tax" and the Establishment of the Burlial Bureau." The following was the proclamation: Proclamation No. 2, Series B. To the Chancellor Commander, Officers and Members of the Subordinate Lodges of the Above Jurisdiction, Greetings: Be it known that the following legislation was enacted by the Grand Lodge of the above named Jurisdiction at its last session held in Nashville, Tenn., July 11 to 14, inclusive. Uniform Rank Tax. A tax of two cents per month each month was levied from each member of the Order for the support and maintenance of the Uniform Bank. This tax is to remain in force for two (2) years, until the uniform rank is built up to that point where it will be self-supporting. Increase of Endowment Premiums. Owing to the great increase in the death rate of our members, and because of the fact that our obligations to our widows and orphans in the way of death benefits for deceased members have reached the point where they are larger than the premiums paid in each quarter, it becomes absolutely necessary that the Grand Lodge quarterly premiums for Endowment from one ($1.00) dollar per quarter to one and twenty-hundreds or $1.20 per quarter, beginning October 1st, 1916. Burial Department. Burial Department. A Burial Department was established whereby each member of the Orde would receive a fifty ($20) dollar burial. This department will go into effect October 1915. Every lodge in the entire lawjice must become a member of this department. The secretary of the Endowment Bureau will handle this department. The Grand Master of Exchequer will be the treasurer. You will be furnished later with laws governing the Burial Bureau. These laws will be only temporary to govern the Bureau until the next session of the Grand Lodge. Now as Grand Chancellor of the Grand Jurisdiction of Tennessee Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, I hereby order and command each chancellor commander to see that each member of his lodge pays to the Keeper of Records and Seal two (2) cents for each month, July, August and September, making a total of six (6) cents per member for each month. We forward the same, together with the names of the membersaving, to the Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, Dr. C. O. Hunter, 815 12 S Main Street, Columbia, Tennessee. The same to be done each quarter of the year. This is imperative; a failure to comply with the above mandate will cause your lodge to lose its good standing in the Order. Each chancellor commander will cause each master of finance to collect hereafter from each financial lodge one dollar and twenty ($1.20) upon payment beginning October 1, 1916, and thereafter each quarter, for the endowment premium to comply with the law as changed by the Grand Lodge at its last session. Forward the same to L. E. Brown, 625 Walker avenue, Memphis, Tenn. This is imperative and in the Endowment Department can receive endowment benefits who fails to comply with this law in time for the same to reach the secretary of the bureau as specified in the Endowment Laws. Chancellor commanders will be held to strict account where failure is found to comply with all the laws of the Endowment Department of the Order. In order that the Burial Bureau may be put into operation each chancellor commander is hereby ordered and commanded to have the Keeper of Records and Seal of his lodge to make a list of all financial members and forward ten (10) cents each month or thirty cents each quarter to Sir L. E. Brown, 623 Walker avenue, New York, NY, 10016. A burial fund, where each member of the Order in good standing will receive a fifty ($50) dollar burial. No additional tax is to be placed upon the member, but the ten cents will be deducted from the regular monthly dues paid by the member. It may be more convenient to send this burial tax quarterly, if so that may be done. Each lodge must let this tax reach L. E. Brown by October 1, 1916. Blanks for this tax will be furnished by the Bureau, comply with this mandate, if you would keep your lodge in good standing in the Order. It is sincerely hoped that each chancellor commander, each officer and each member of our lodges will take kindly to this progressive legislation of our order and help us to carve out a new order for us and order one of the leading factors in helping to solve the many questions that confront us as a race. I am sure that your race pride and your love for the order of your choice will inspire you to do your duty in the race. I am sure that your proclamation. With an abiding faith in your loyalty and patriotism to the order and the race, I am. Attest: DR. C. O. HUNTER, Grand Keeper of Records and Sage. The next act of mine was to proceed to get out the literature and the laws and regulations necessary to inaugurate the Burial Department which was to go into effect October 1, 1916. The Committee on Law and Supervision was communicated with and that committee furnished me with a rough draught of laws to govern the department. These laws, together with other laws, were awarded to the secretary of the Endowment Department to be sent to every lodge for their guidance, etc. I am pleased to say to you in this report that practically all lodges complied with the same. I think that possibly there are one or two lodges that have not done so. I would urge you to say at this session just what penalty shall be placed upon lodges not complying with the enactments of this Grand Lodge. A motion of resolution was read and adopted without opposition at the session of the Grand Lodge, held here in Nashville, July 11 to 14, 1916. "Officers and Members Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia: We, your Committee on Internal Improvements, beg leave to submit the following report: We are of the unanimous opinion that our state to keep in the line of progress with our state in the process of taking steps to erect a Pythian Temple. We further recommend that a committee of seven be appointed with power to formulate plans and to act and to present the same at our next session of the Grand Lodge." Acting in conformity with the above report as adopted by you, the following commission was appointed to carry into effect the provisions of the report of your Committee on Internal Improvements; W. Wayman Wilkerson, Shirley A. Allen A. W. P. Preston Taylor, T. Cray Moore, A. S. Pyles, A. N. Johnson, Dr. C. O. Hunter and J. P. Crawley. You will notice that the resolution called for seven and nine were appointed. In appointing this commission we kept in mind the expense attached and appointed five of the Grand Lodge officers as they would be appointed to the position from the Grand Lodge anyway and would not entail any additional expense. This commission met and has acted according to the provisions of the report and will make a full report of what has been done for your earnest consideration. Proclamation for the "Annual Tenth Sermon and for "Memorial Day" were gotten out and forwarded to the lodges in due time. I am forced to say that in some instances very little attention is paid to the observance of these special days, set apart by the Order. This ought not to be, no lodge ought to be allowed to ignore any of the rites, ceremonies, or obligations of the Order for one or more of the way for greater neglect of the obligations, laws and mandates of the order; and it will be only a question of a little while before the whole fabric of our institution will be destroyed by neglect and insubordination. Our first obligation is obedience and when a lodge or member sets aside a book or enactments, such a lodge or member ought to be dealt with in a manner that will prevent the recurrence of such disregard for law and order Recommendations. I wish to recommend that the session of the Grand Lodge be made as short as possible, because of the stringency of the times and the high cost of living. I also recommend that the legislation of this session be conducted in order to effecting the law and the constitutions of the Burial Bureau, and the Pythian Temple. The Temple has been bargained for, and a payment has been made on the same, and if you would save the money already spent, you must put aside all prejudices and get together and formulate some plans by which we may meet the needs of the people. Let us face our responsibilities like men, and prove to the world that the Order of Knights of Pythias is composed of men, and not mere pymes and babies.

DALE, Owner. now a question of whether we shall have a Temple or not, but rather, how shall we pay for the one already bought. I present the following plan by which it may be paid for and urge its adoption by you unless a better is suggested by some one she can. The issue is that the member of the order one ($1.00) dollar a year, for five consecutive years, giving each member credit or receipt for the amount paid, until the sum of five ($5.00) dollars has been paid. Then issue to each member a share of stock in the Temple showing that the amount paid and owns the amount of stock in the Temple. Each share of stock when paid for, bearing interest at the usual rate of interest. It also being provided that said shares of stock be redeemable by the Grand Lodge at stated periods, provided that a member of the order can only dispose of stock to the Grand Lodge and the rules governing same would have to be enclosed in legal form. I would recommend that this Grand Lodge appoint a strong committee at this session to confer with the Court of Calanthe as to the Pythian Temple with a view of having them take a part in this project. There are several other important matters that ought to come before us, but I believe that if we succeed in accomplishing the Pythian Temple and the Burial Bureau that we shall have accomplished much for the future of our Order. The secretary of the Endowment Department has been notified by the Insurance Commission to put some of its money of that department out on interest, it being his contention that there is too much of it lying idle in the banks. He also demands that he be advised with as to the loans made. He also says that not more than $10,000 be kept on the banks by you at any time. I recommend that you act upon this matter at this session. I recommend that in view of the fact that many of our young men are being called to Arms to support the honor and dignity of our country, and since there is no doubt that many of them will be killed, that this Grand lodge take some action as to their standing in the Endowment Department and just how the Board's liability will be affected. During our existence as a Grand lodge we have succeeded in organizing, sometimes in the neighborhood of New York, many lodges powered for utility, but because of poor management have fled out of existence. The charter, rituals and other narcophalaea are scattered here and there, subjecting the secrets and mysteries of our Order to exposure Now, I believe that with the pr-per-effort put to torth many of these defunct lodges could be re-established and started to go again. For this reason I recommend that you consider the advisability of putting into the work of restructuring the nature it will be to look after the work of resurrecting defunct lodges and assisting the weak ones to enlarge their membership. If this is done I feel sure that the next year will show a fine increase in the number of our membership and in the number of re-established lodges now defunct. I here propose another plan for planning for our Temple just purchased by the Board of Trustees. The Burial Bureau law provided that the surplus from that department each year be turned into the Endowment Department's treasury, I recommend that said surplus be turned over to the Commission and that together with revenue from Temple be used in meeting payments on said surplus will preclude the necessity of taxing the members at this critical period. I recommend that you go on record at this session, by pledging your loyalty to our government, by showing your willingness to co-operate in any way possible to assist the presidents of these United States in successfully carrying on the struggle in which our country is now engaged. Resolutions to this effect will be in order. And now in conclusion permit me to say that I trust that you will confront the task here presented to you with the fortitude of true and brave men, determined to do that and that which will bring success not only to our order, but to the entire race. May I extend to you all my sincere thanks or the courtesy and consideration you extend to me, for all these times to make the order one Grand Success. May long life, happiness and prosperity attend you all is my sincere prayer. Fraternally yours in F. C. and B., J. P. CRAWFORD. The following committees were ap pointed: Credentials Committee: A, W.

The speaker paid high tribute to the thrift and strides evidenced by the people of Paducah in maintaining their high racial standard. He took pains on the outset to pay compliments to those business and professional men of the city who had worked for the church in the basement of the church a success. He declared that the opportunity of appearing in this section of Kentucky another time was as enjoyable to him, as he hoped it was to the citizens themselves. For one hour he spoke. He was given prolonged applause by the magnificent audience, present. Notable among those who assisted the Paducah citizens in making the demonstration meeting a success, aside from those who appeared on program were attorney and Mrs. J. W. Egester, Dr. and Mrs. C. W.

Brigadier-General Preston Taylor although detained and prevented from going by engagements, had designated Adjutant Boyd and Major Hall, Lieutenant McClellan, to represent the Staff. At the Fair Grounds proper there were amusements that kept the great crowd entertained throughout the day. A Basket dinner was served, athletics of all kinds indulged in. A Testimonial: "I suffered with asthma for eight years. I tried a number of doctors and all the different kinds of medicines I could hear of, but got no relief. Instead, I steadily grew worse. "I finally tried Lung-Vita and have used three bottles to date. And since I have been using this medicine my asthma has not bothered me at all. Previously I could hardly sleep at night. Would have smothering spells and would have to get up. During these spells I frequently became black in the face. Now, however, I sleep well and am not bothered in this way at all. I recommend Lung-Vita to people suffering in this way." The above is a letter from Mrs. Beulah Brown, 188 7th Ave., N, dated June 7, 1917. LUNG-VITA Sold by Druggists Perhaps the most entertaining of the day was a base ball game between the ladies and the young men, in which the young ladies were victorious.

By R. R. Porter. ren are too mean and sinful and indifferent toward the truth, to explain the difference between the incorporator, the National Baptist Publishing Board and the National Baptist Convention. They go from one wicked method to the other. They are absolutely set, bent on destroying and not instructing. Their method of keeping men with them is by choking down their throats those things that are obnoxious. Their method of holding the people is keeping them in the dark on these great questions. Their method of staying in office is ring rule. Railroadings propositions from before the Convention, if the proposition does not stand, for what they believe to be right. Hooding men off of the floor of the Convention, who are real Baptist preachers and Christian gentleman, carrying things in a storm, whether right or wrong. The thing uppermost in their minds is to win. And this method is the rockiest. And this method is the senior Convention of Arkansas, so much so, until some of the lesser lights in the state rather than deceive this rule, uprooted and destroyed it. They have threatened to do bodily injury to some men who have contended for the freedom and the prerogatives that brought about the division with Arkansas Baptists. Why! It is but the duplication of the Chicago Convention, with and under the same arrogant administration, with had the abassing audacity to insure theerty the entire Convention, with the resistance of selfish, wicked, ignorant and self-appointed men purporting themselves as ministers of the gospel of lowly Nazarene, hootted, yelled and ignored some of the best men and pahonts of the State, down on a proposition that the people had a right to hear and decide for themselves. In the same Convention the same people were led by these same designing men to adopt a resolution endorsing the incorporated convention, thus jeopardizing the liberty rights and Christian prerogatives as Missionary Baptists, under the pretense that the incorporation of the National Convention was ineffective on the grounds that the people had not adopted it. Right in the face of the fact that they incorporated it without the consent of the people and it is now a matter of record. And under this incorporation they have succeeded in instituting suits after suits against the Real National Convention and its Publishing Board. Now, if the Baptist people of Arkansas were to stop and think they could discover without the aid of a microscope the dishonesty that burns so brilliantly in the bosoms of such leaders. Can't one see at a glance that if their convention was an involuntary association that it could not have any standing in the courts—that it could see an inoculated board? And yet Arkansas Baptists are led on by bribery because they have blocked methods required by these briberies. Another method used to continue to keep the Baptists divided was the passing of a resolution barring the ministers of the gospel who dare to stand up and contend for the things which they believe to be right from their pulpits. Such a resolution is an outrage upon equity and justice. Such a resolution reflects very seriously upon every intelligent Baptist. The men who passed these resolutions said in so many words that the rank and file of the Baptist church throughout the state and nation haven't sense enough, their judgment is too weak, their knowledge too limited, and that they are considered nothing more than weaklings. We consider you to be incapacitated. You are a mental failure to be left to yourselves to decide. You are wrapped up in mud. In consequence to hear both sides of the question that has split in twain the greatest denomination in the world. In fact, in so many words, they pronounce the Baptist brother and sisterhood of the state and nation as fools. Another method instituted by them is to tell absolutely made falsehoods, make statements that bear the same relation to truth as honey bears to a crabapple. Even the chief leader of the missionary work of the state will stand up before a convention or an association and let slip from his unhappy lips the statement that the progressive Baptist convention of Arkansas, with all of its auxiliaries, has not paid anything upon the debts of A. B. C since its existence. Backed up by statements from the chief leader in the educational work, the leaders of the progressive movement are using the people's money buying automobiles, riding in jitneys and pulling off other stunts. Such statements are made for the sole purpose of misleading and to keep the people confused, so that their acts, as leaders may not be exposed. But the people are coming alive as the light is turned on. They are beginning to ask on evil that the leaders of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated and missionary progressive Baptist Convention of Arkansas? What could these men have done in so short a while in Chicago that so holy units them to go into NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY JULY 27, 1917. the pulpits of the Baptist churches, throughout the state as heretofore. If they have committed so great a crime, why is it that their crimes are not exposed so that their respective churches of which they are members, might be able to discipline them? Oh! my brethren to hold people all the time, you had better come straight, you had better make statements that will stand investigation. Another method that the leaders of the Arkansas Baptists have resorted to is to debar, all Baptists in the state who do not represent their idea from the A. B. C. College. In some cases, both as students and employees, notwithstanding the fact that in every annual meeting, that the progressive Baptists hold, they continue to boost the College and pledge for its maintenance and contribute a per cent of the finances gathered, yet for such purposes and loyalty, to old school, we are dedicated, representation, in its management and recognition in its employment There are facts which they can not truthfully deny. We will not take up the district division among Baptists, less we burden the reader. We appeal to the Baptists throughout the United States, who are seeking for real truth. The truth of this conspiracy, to read carefully, read ambi, read with a mind, pre-priude, the artistry, which is contributed upon these great questions, in the different papers, to think soberly and reason logically, get a conclusion, and you yourselves be the judges. Yours to be, R. B. Porter. —People's Defender. ADVISES AGAINST LABOR UNIONS. Birmingham, Ala., July 22.—The fact that union leaders in Birmingham were moving heaven an dearth to organize the Negro workers in the steel and iron and coal mines in this district while they were counseling the white laborers to murder Negro laborers in other sections of the country led Dr. A. C. William, during his sermon Sunday at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church to advise strongly against affiliation with the Negro in the white labor unions" said Dr. Williams. Continuing he said. In its province the white labor union is inimical to the Negro laborer. We have our problem which we must work out for ourselves and by ourselves. If the Negro laborer must organize, let him organize himself, and then not to antagonize capital, but to work out his own peculiar problem, to promote efficiency, and to secure more benefits for himself and his family through co-operation and sympathy of the employer. "The Negro will never gain anything through the white labor union. He will soon find that in them he can go so far and no further. If the Negro must organize let the organization be purely a Negro one, offered by Negroes and working only to promote the Negro's efficiency and welfare. Every Negro endeavor should be centralized and the time will come when it will be, but it must be through a leadership that knows and understands the Negro and not through a leadership that in one community courts him and in another counsels his murder. The Negro will never accomplish much trying to follow a leadership that he neither loves nor respects, and in which he has no confidence. Under the nature of things there is nothing in common between the Negro laborer and the white Union leader." IN MEMORY In memoriam of our dear husband and afather, Earl Owens who departed this life June 28, 1917. One month has passed, And no one knows how we miss you, You were so good, kind and true; God alone for He knew best, Called you to that home best; Twas a bitter grief a shock severe To part with you, whom we loved so dear. We miss your coming footsets, We miss your loving voice. Home is not what it used to be Since you are not there, Our hearts are filled with sorrow, Our eyes bedimmed with tears, O, if we only had you with us Our sainted husband and father dear Your face beams before us, From a portrait on the wall, That is all that is left to cheer us. Since you answered your last call. Friends may think the wound is healed But little do they know the sorrow, That lies within our hearts concealed You are gone, but not forgotten. And never shall your memory fade Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger. Round the grave where you are laid. From his loving wife and daughter Mrs. Alberta Owens. Miss Mamie Owens. WHOSE NEW COLLEGE IS THIS? Under the above heading or caption, the Baptist Vanguard quotes the American Baptist as asking that very pointed question referring to the National Bap. Theological Seminary to be established at Nashville, Tenn. by the National Baptist Convention unincorporated. The American Baptist may be perfectly honest in asking the question, but we doubt the sincerity of the Vanguard in re-publishing it. The Vanguard feels that she has found a stalk of nettlerash with which it can tickle and irritate the Baptists of the country. So far as our incorporated brethren are concerned, they ought to kind of be quiet for they have had twenty years trial in building, or attempting to build a theological seminary, and they have never established one, either regular or irregular, that is to say, they have never established one as the property of the convention or the property of a board, or the property of an individual, even though they had a bonus of $50,000.00 offered them by the white Baptists of the country to assist in that laudable enterprise. It appears that if they were so stupid that they could not with all of those advantages, build a theological seminary of the most ordinary kind, that they are wholly unprepared to give any kind of advice as to how the unincorporated brethren should proceed in the erection of their theological seminary. It appears to the edi- tor of the People's Defender that it would be better even for some great man of the Baptist world to rise up and build a seminary for the Baptists, than not to have one at all. They have grown mighty uneasy that some individual will get the title to a school, or to a great Baptist enterprise. Better that we have great enterprises controlled and owned by either Baptist individuals or Baptist boards than not to be owned and operated at all. Our incorporated brethren have already raised a howl about what we are going to do, and about who is to own that theological seminary. Let the editor of the People's Defender kindly suggest to our incorporated brethren to proceed and build them a theological seminary, fix its title and plan, and operate it to suit their individual whims and ideas of business and denominational government, and don't worry themselves to death about how the convention unincorporated is going to manage its affairs. Terrily alarmed are the brethren who have never accomplished anything to the people, about what interest the people have in denominational enterprises. The people will never have any enterprises to have any interest in, if we are to follow the lead of men like Morris, Booker, Griggs, Searcy, Isaac Parks Williams, Barber who seem to be a shiftless set. At any rate, a set who is entirely inadequate to the task of bringing about great things for the denomination. That has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The National Baptist Convention un-incorporated will look after the title and operation of its theological seminary. Don't be uneasy, my brethren, of incorporated fame, there are men of business forethought to kind of look after their affairs, and ever if we vest the title in one man, what? that to you? Go ahead, build you one, and fix it to suit yourselves, and don't worry about the brethren unincorporated. —People's Defender. WHO PUT PROF. REID OUT OF THE INTERSTATE ACADEMY— WHAT DOES HIS OUSTING SAY TO YOUNG MEN? Some three or four years ago, Prof. S. R. H. Reid, an exceedingly brilliant and aggressive Christian young man, by invitation left the school and work in which he was engaged at Surrounded Hill, Ark., to take a position tendered him as the head of the Interstate Academy located at Helena, Ark. The institution had run down, had several times been closed for the want of proper management and hustling head-gear, in fact, it had about been wiped off of the map. A number of young educators had tried to infuse life into it, but had failed. Prof. Reid consented to make the trial at the solicitation of the authorities of the Baptists about Helena. Being a kind of a hustler, he put new life into the school, he opened the eyes of the people thereabouts, he demonstrated the ability of a school to almost run and feed itself, having a campus of something like ten acres. He raised meat, chickens, fowls of all kinds, potatoes, peas, and vegetables in abundance. The people saw the light, and flocked to him. He steadily, like the rising sun, gained in prestige and power, but alas, he has been ousted just as the school bade promise of unparalleled success. The question is, who put him out? Prof. Reid seems to be at a loss to know who put him out. He seems to blame the boys, such as Short, Sadda, Washington, Holloway and that class of ducks, but Brother Reid, you will have to look higher up, my boy, to find who put you out. Short and Holloway and Shadd, and the men consisting that Board have no initiative of their own, they are men with rings in their nose, and led by a hand higher up. They have never done nor ever will do anything of their own volition; they are men with rings in their nose; they occupy positions in the after-pocket of men higher up. If you would find the cause, seek out the master of these men. It matters not what he or they say, you will have located the cause. The Student's Herald, a paper operated by the school, edited and managed by Principal Reid, is striking some heavy blows, hitting some hard licks. Reid seems determined to make somebody show their hand. In this we hope he will be successful. He is making the proper appeal, appealing to the people. If ever the people can find the rotten spot and muster up courage enough to eliminate it, Eastern Arkansas is well as the entire Baptists of Arkansas will have been done a great favor. But what does this ousting say to young men? It says that the old political tricksters in the church have such a hold upon their underlings, that they are so charged and surcharged with jealousy at the uprising of young men until they will stamp the life if possible, out of all who dare raise their heads, and that the young men, the young school men need co-operate one with the other and be exceedingly careful how they pull up stakes at the solicitation of the old demagogues in the church, for nine time out of ten, they simply sgn their own death warrant, when they accept the invitation of these would-be friends. Often it is a political trick to slay them. The ousting of Mr. Reid assures to be a most ungrateful piece of business, but such is life, and if Mr. Reid is right, God will open up other avenues for him, and those who have sought in an underhand way his downfall will pay for it in the end. —People's Defender DR. SANDEFUR'S ADDRESS. AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENT BUT CANNOT SUCCEED BECAUSE OF BOSSISM. Rev. Dr. T. S. Sandefur, president of the State Sunday School Convention of the old line Baptists of the State in addressing that body a few days ago at Camden, Ark., delivered in some respect a masterpiece. It was laden with splendid and helpful suggestions as well as many excellent business thoughts. It proved Dr. Sandefur to be a far-seeing leader, and to have a mind that is developed beyond the ordinary mind of his fellows. While there are some things in the address with which free men cannot agree, there are some things in the address that would only have been spoken by a slave, would have only been uttered by a man who was fearful of his crown, and who recognized that there was an awful hand swinging heavy, heavy over his head, but even at that, there are many points of brilliancy and flights of oratory, and suggestions of real helpfulness in the address. If Dr. Sandefur was given the right of way and was not handicapped by the old fossilized bosses of the state, he would do some splendid work, in fact, if his thoughts and ideas were permitted to materialize and mature as he has given and expressed them, they would go far to revolutionize Baptist work in Arkansas. But for years and years, Sandefur has been coming before that body with brilliant thoughts, with helpful recommendations and suggestions only to be tabooed and thrown in the waste basket by the controlling hand. It is a fact beyond dispute that no suggestion, no recommendation is going to succeed, or will be permitted to succeed that does not come from the bosses, the real bosses. The recommendation to launch an endowment campaign of $20,000 is a healthy suggestion coming from a healthy mind. The recommendation, however, to appoint a secretary treasurer for that department kills his recommendation as dead as Hector, so far as the bosses are concerned. They are not going to let any secretary-treasurer be, Brother Sandefur. Now if you had recommended that as this $20,000 endowment fund was collected, that it be turned in the hands of Boss Booker, then if you had gone and talked with Marse Morris about it, and got him to have made a speech for it before you read it, you might have done a little good, but no thought suggested by you as intelligent as that thought, a thought out of which you would get some honor and respect out of the people as a thinker, as an aggressive and progressive Baptist, will ever be able to go down to your credit. No secretary-treasurer will be appointed for any fund that is to be raised. The president of the Arkansas Baptist College is the secretary treasure of all funds directed by his superior chief and boss. It must go as all other funds have gone. For instance, the funds of the Famous Five Hundred, a scheme if properly carried out, would have delivered the institution from any embarrassments. But nay. They swore that they were going to put that in the bank to meet the $10,000.00 mortgage, but what became of it? Dr. Sandeefur, however, is getting what he deserves, simply the privilege to be a figure-head, nothing more, nothing less, there is nothing that he can do, there is no independent step that he dare take. But, says he in his address, all of the territory should be utilized for the regular Baptists of the state. Well "Sandy" we guess that it is your privilege, but we hardly expected that you would take sides with that ungodly gang that advocates on affiliation of pulpits simply because your brethren do not agree with you. The editor of the People's Defender loves and respects you as a great Baptist preacher, and his doors are open to you and the latch hangs on the outside of the door. If your cause be right, it will win for it is the cause of God. If it be wrong, it will lose because God is against it. We congratulate, however, Dr. Sandeefur, upon his address as a whole. A RESPONSE TO A WELCOME ADDRESS BY BRO. W. M. THOMPSON AT THE DISTRICT B. Y. P. U. CONVENTION, PETTUS, ARK. Mr. President, Officers and Members, Friends and Visitors: I am unable to express as I desire, my deep sense of gratitude for the distinguished honor that has been conferred upon me, in this, that I am the choice of the Executive Board of this Convention to respond to those words of welcome, and along with honor I style this but a privilege. Still I feel myself highly honored, and as I sat and listened to those words of welcome as they came from the lips of that little queen, I was reminded of a band of Christians who decided that they would no longer be governed by the royalists of the church, who would not go out of office when the people voted that their time was out, who, with a few royalists, would fix their own salaries, pay off themselves without the people's consent, and would restrict any law or laws to suit themselves as to the rights of the people, and would impose fines upon them that did not believe as they did, to the extent of one hundred dollars per month for being absent from the worship in the Church of England, and that caused two parties to gradually grow in their midst, one the aristocratic VOLE HAIR GROWER The best for more than 10 years Manufactured by Trained Chemists Endorsed by scores of leading Physicians Recommended by Thousands of Satisfied Users GUARANTEED TO GROW HAIR Hair and Beauty Culture taught practically and thoroughly.

The question of who built the publishing house of the National Baptist Convention unincorporated seems to have been settled. Everybody seems to have agreed that Dr. R. H. Boyd was the business genius of that mammoth enterprise, but another question arises that is equally as interesting, and that is, who will build a publishing house for the National Baptist Convention incorporated, have they got a man equal to the task? One of the chief arguments is, that Boyd did not build the one that is already established, but that it was done by the people, and they say that they have the people. The argument of our incorporated brethren is, that they have the people. That is, that they have the people. Then they built that one, evidently the people can build another one. But the point is, that they have neither the people nor the business genius around which the people will rally. Mrs. Henry G.
