MEHARRY TO OPEN ITS DOORS TUESDAY
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK—MANY STUDENTS DRAFTED—ANA-TOMICAL HALL TO BE DEDICATED OCT. 19
Mehairy Medical College, the pride of Nashville and the country, will open its session next Tuesday. Everything is in readiness and a good enrollment is anticipated. It is true that many of the former students have drafted for the war, but it is believed that notwithstanding this the attendance will be gratifying. It is thought that at least ten per cent of the medical and dental students got caught in the draft not thus preventing their attendance this year. Reservation fee for room and board has been received from young men from all over the country who want to matriculate at Mehairy. It is thought that a goodly number will room at the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Hubbard has just returned from Des Moines, Iowa, where he met a lot of his graduates in the army camp. The good actor is enthusiastic over the good reports the commanding officers gave to the men in training. He especially mentioned Major Keene, whom he said was very thoughtful of the soldiers' welfare. Elsewhere in this issue are running a picture in which Dr. Hubbard is surrounded by the boys who love him so well.
October 19th is the day set apart for the dedication of Anderson Hall, the gift of a former student. On this occasion a very interesting program will be carried out, the principal of which will be an address by Bishop Nicholson of Chicago. The celebrated, Mehary orchestra and quartet will have charge of the musical numbers.
THE NEGRO TROOPS
Announcement by the secretary of war that, regardless of individual protests, the colored recruits of the national army are to be apportioned among the various cantonments, approximately one regiment to each camp and distributed as uniformly available, seems to settle the question as to where these troops will be located.
That being disposed of, and it being definitely settled that a certain complement of colored recruits is to be a fixture at practically every cantonment, what once a problem becomes a condition; and it has got to be met as it exists.
The people of every training camp and of every community near a training camp must first of all charge their minds with the facts that the Negro troops have got to be mobilized and trained, and that those troops are being the service through voluntary insurrection—in so far, at least, as the selected army is concerned—but are in it only abode to the law. That is to say, they are not there by their own volition, but they are being put into service by law established by our own representatives in congress—every one a white man.
Therefore, since the colored men are put in the service, the main question that arises is that of getting out of the Negro the best there is in him instead of the worst; and in the development of that question lies very largely the peace and happiness, primarily, of a tremendous element of the black people of the south; and secondly, the citizenry of the country as a whole, both south and north.
There are two or three elemental facts to be kept under consideration.
First of these is the fact that the Negro has a best side;" which was fully demonstrated by his unparalleled conduct during the civil war. That war probably afforded the only instance in the history of the world when a race stood loyally and heroically back of the women and children of its masters were out fighting to keep in slavery. The world's history does not recount a better display of loyalty on the part of any race or any people throughout the four years of the civil war there was never an assault, nor an attack, nor a betrayal of the trust, reposed in the Negroes. On the other hand, they stood as sentinels and guards over the helpless families of their under arms. No citizen ever stood guard with more trustworthy fidelity.
That is the "best side" of the Negro, which we should remember today.
Another condition to be kept in view is the unfortunate trait of the Negro's character that instinctively induces him to shield those of his race who commit crime. They not only shield criminals of their race but take as race antagonism the dealings on the part of courts and law officers with admitted transgressors of the law. That an instinct that is entirely foreign to the white race. Among white people the natural tendency is to facilitate the apprehension of criminals regardless of color—as the police term it, to "give them up." Unquestionably, liquor, dissolve Negro women, and perhaps rough treatment by white officers of the law at Houston were the main elements leading up to what turned into rioting, anarchy and tragedy. But the killing were directly brought about all because the Negroes of the regiment involved took it upon themselves to redress an fancied race grievance in the law. The only possible question is to or not the officers were the arrest or a few transgressors of diplomatic—a thing that had absolutely nothing to do with the fundamentals of the affair. That the government is going to take a hard and get to the bottom of the whole thing, and that the conditions that brought about the Houston disgrace will eventually be fully understood, and righted, there can be no question.
NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY---THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE.
NASHVILLE'S CAN-
DIDATE FOR MAYOR
NO NEGRO NEED APPLY—DIVIDE
NEGRO VOTES SAYS DR. JONES
—CAMPAIGNERS ARE "MOVING
HEAVEN AND EARTH."
Editor of the Globe:
The municipal election, embracing
the selection of a mayor and two
commissioners, is taking place before
I have had the time during my brief
permanent residence in my home
city, to know enough about the can
candidates to make a choice from my
own personal knowledge of the men
I have heard several of the candidates
speak from the stump, and
have read the speeches of others.
The campaign reading up to the re
cent primary was exceedingly warm
and noted that more Negroes were
interested in the election than there
have been for a number of years. In
the past. It was also noted that the
Negro vote was more divided than
usual.
On general principles, I hold that Negroes' votes should be divided just like the white vote. And under normal conditions, the Negroes should not be expected to vote as a race. They should choose their man like other men do, and vote for him, regardless to race. But when an issue is set forth, then it is time for the Negro, as a race, to sit up and take notice, and in the name of Almighty God, act, and let men who want office know that the Negro is not only a man but that he is an American citizen. Two men are now before the citizens of Nashville for their vote for the position of mayor of this town, Mr. H. E. Howse and Mr. Wm. Gupta. I have now either man, person, I have heard of, Mr. Howse proved to be the best friend of the Negro has had in that office for many years. On the contrary, I have read from the columns of the daily papers that Mr. Howse is a very undesirable citizen to some people.
And now I notice that Mr. Gupton's campaign managers as well as his stump speakers are "moving heaven and earth," trying to stamp as a lie the report that Mr. Gupton promised to recognize Negroes on the police force. I do not know that the Negroes have asked such a thing. The truth of the matter is, Nashville Negroes do not usually ask for anything. But why should Mr. Gupton's spell-binders feel called upon to adopt as a slogan—"No Negroes on the Police Force?" There are other cities, and even in the south, and some of them farther south than Nashville, which have had Negroes in the police force. Why may not Negro policemen be colored wards or Negro sections? I think now since the Gupton forces have seen fit to go out of their way to raise the issue and adopt that as a slogan, the Negroes of Nashville ought to make it the real issue in this campaign so far as they are concerned.
The Nashville Negroes have become so accustomed to taking just what is thrown out to them so long, that they really have come to believe that they are receiving a gift when they are simply receiving what is due them. They actually believe that the new Pearl High School building is a gracious gift. They don't think that they are entitled to it at all. There are many prominent Negroes in Nashville today who believe that the Hadley Park is a gift from the city, for which the race should be everlastingly thankful. I am a Tennessee by birth and rearage. I have lived in and around Nashville from childhood. I measure my words: The city of Nashville has not given the Negro race anything. The race has justly won all the recognition that it has received since the war of the rebellion. And some of us have got sense enough to know it.
If Mr. Gupton means to adopt the Vardaman-Tillman tactics or riding into office on denouncing the Negro and his vote. I think the Negro for once should rise up in his might and rebuke it.
J. A. JONES.
In discussing the Houston matter and the entire question of colored troops' assignments, Rev. D. W. Cannon, a colored minister, in the communication elsewhere upon this page, makes a clear-cut dispassionate, fair presentation that should appeal alike to blacks and white.
He recognizes the fact that never before in history since the civil war has the Negro been put to the test as he is put to it in the present military situation. He makes it clear that as the Negro demeans himself from this time on the whole race is going to be judged accordingly. And he is exactly right.
If there is another Brownsville or Houston affair, it simply is going to mean that there's going to be no more colored soldier in the army, because the colored soldier will have proven himself not worthy of being trusted.
The colored troops here or elsewhere must be impressed with the fact that local conditions, sentiments, customs, etc., must be recognized and met, and their leaders should impress upon the fact that they should do their part toward respecting those conditions.
If occasionally a Negro trooper gets infractions, transgresses the law and falls into the hands of a policeman, it must not be made a race matter, because it will not be anything of the police's dealing with a Negro inhalation. There is no more a race matter than is their arrest of a white criminal a race matter. Neither nor color are taken into consideration by the law; and to the law all transgressors look alike.
We must keep in mind too, the dual obligation on the other side.

HOUSTON COURT.
Not Satisfied with Punishbent Heted Out by Military Court Martial, McLemore Wants 24th Men Delivered Over to the Tender Mercies of a Texas Tribunal—Want no Colored Troops in the South.
(Special Correspondence.)
Washington, Sept. 18.—it developed here today that a resolution has been submitted in the House by Representative McLemore asking that the colored soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry who participated in the Houston riot be turned over for trial to the Houston civil authorities. Six of these soldiers were sentenced to the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, by the military court martial which passed upon their case last week. Five of these men got five years apiece at hard labor, while the sixth was sentenced to ten years. All six are to be dishonorably discharged from the United States army. Many other members of the military were implicated in the Houston riot are expected to be tried for conspiracy against military authority. As a result of the riot the entire regiment will be sent to Manila, Philippines, for the duration of the war. None of these developments, however, appear to have satisfied Representative McLemore, who now virtually demands the execution of the colored soldiers by asking that they be removed from the jurisdiction of the military and surrendered to the courts of Houston, Texas, presided over by Southerners ever thirsty for colored blood, whether by due process of law or by the far more popular Texas method of mob law. McLemore resolution, after using every word and phrase, truth and falshood, possible to incite and inflame race prejudice, ends up with the following:
"Resolved. That the House of Representatives of the Sixty-fifth Congress do, and it hereby does, instruct the Secretary of War to have brought back to Houston, to stand trial, the Negro soldiers who were indicted for murdering Houston citizens, and that he be further instructed to authorize any military tribunal he may select to investigate the crime of the mutilous and murderous Negro soldiers, to be co-ordinate with the citizens' committee appointed by the city of Houston, and to work with said citizens' committee in seeking and receiving testimony, that justice may be noted out to the mutilous murderers.
"Resolved, further. That it is the sense of this House that the policy of sending Negro soldiers to the South is detrimental to the best interests of the country, and should at once be abandoned, that there may be no recurrence of the horrible crimes so recently perpetrated at Houston."
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs and ordered to be printed, but our good and well thinking President has to pass judgment before this can be done. Amsterdam News.
which can be expressed in the simple statement that in dealing with the colored troops the white people must be ordered to be printed, but our good and well thinking President has to pass judgment before this can be done. Amsterdam News.
We believe that if this is impressed upon officers of the law, street car conductors and all others with whom the selected colored troops will be most frequently brought into contact, the likelihood of friction will be entirely removed.
In other words, if Negroes and white alike are impressed with the fact that we are going to demand and give fair treatment, we will have gone to places where solving what in other places has proven a mean problem—atlanta Constitution.
PRES. HUBBARD TELLS OF FT. DES MOINES
SEVERAL DIVISIONS AT CAMP—BRICK BUILDINGS ERECTED COMFORTABLE QUARTERS
Fort Des Moines is situated about six miles west of city of Des Moines. It is not a fort but a training camp for the preparation of colored officers for services in the Negro regiments which are now being raised for the United States army. The ground is gently rolling and is well adapted for the use for which it is designed.
Substantial brick buildings have been erected on three sides of the spacious training grounds. Those designed for the use of the prospective officers are situated on the south side of the grounds and are fitted up with comfortable quarters for eating and sleeping. The commissioned officers must pay for their own board but the non-commissioned are furnished with rations free of charge. The most numerous class are the officers who are being trained for service in the colored regiments; they have been in camp for a considerable length of time. Quite a number of them are discharged or of physical disability and general lack of fitness for this work, and others are now ready for assignment to their different fields of services.
The next are the physicians who are now being prepared to act as surgeons in the colored regiment. They are first commissioned first Lieutenants and those who are the best prepared and show the greatest aptitude for their work will be promoted to the rank of Captain and possibly majors. The third division is the hospital corps, these men are not commissioned, as officers but are trained to care for the sick and wounded. All who are to act as officers receive instruction in giving first aid to the wound and first aid to the field. I witness the work being done in this line. The medical men are each assigned 17 men and the particular squad. I noticed them carrying a man who was supposed to have suffeered from a fractured femur and from a wounded artery in the upper portion of the thigh. Instruction was first given in stopping the flow of blood, they were told if the blood was of a bright red color is from a wounded artery and that the ligature must be applied between the wound and heart. A rough splint was extemporized and applied to the injureleg, the patient placed on a blanket and taken to the field hospital for further treatment. Of one of the truest interesting sights was the truest interesting sights were intended to be an artifact reproduction of those on the battle field.
The Young Men's Christian Association is represented by Prof. Dr. Frantz of Kansas City, Mo. A large tent is provided where the meetings can be held and the men can read and write. During the past few days a revival service has been held and over 75 conversions reported. I had an opportunity of taking two means with the medical officers and no complaint can certainly be made regard either the quantity or quality of the food supply d hT oewremfmy the food supplied. The work of training is most arduous and long continued, beginning at half past five in the morning and ending at six in the evening. I was pleased with the interest shown by the officer appointed to give instruction to the men. Colonel Ballou recently promoted to the rank of Brigidier-General, is commander of the post and gives personal attention to the details of the work, and he thoroughly believes in colored troops. Major Keene is the right man for the place he occupies and expressed to me his satisfaction of the work of the colored medical officers. About 90 surgeons and dentists are now in training for medical service, one third of whom are graduates of Meharry, seven are from Tennessee and two of whom, Drs. Leach and Bugs, are from Nashville; four from Georgia; one each from Missouri, Louisiana, Florida, West Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Indiana and two from Illinois. It is expected that the greater portion at least will be assigned to active service in colored posts or regiments during the coming month.
It is reported that quite a number of the above have been recommended for promotion in the near future.

Dyersburg, September 17, 1917. (Special to the Globe). Mr. T. G. Robinson was born in Shelbyville, Tenn., January 18, 1876, and lived there several years. When a child or 5 years old he came with his mother, Mrs. Eliza Robinson, to Union City, Tenn., and there he resided for a number of years. It was there that he married Miss Parthia Crawford in 1897. They moved to Dyersburg in 1898. He embraced a hope in Christ in 1897. Immediately after moving to Dyersburg he connected himself with Tabernaile Baptist Church and lived a faithful, triumphant and true member of said church until his death. Mr. Robinson had been in ill health for several months and he, accompanied by his good wife, spent a few weeks of that time at the famous resort, West Baden, Ind, with the hope that he might be beneft, returning home a few weeks he gradually grew worse. Everything that his loving wife, friends, and physicians could do was done to no avail. On his morning September 16th, when the gilded sun was emerging from the gilded gates of the east, and while the glades were still damp with the morning, the angel of God entered the home on Court street and claimed him for his own. One of the sad remembrances connected with Mr. Robinson's death is that he died on the 16th birthday of his daughter, La Pearl.
Funeral services were conducted from Tabernacle Baptist Church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the pastor, Rev. H. H. G. Harris, officiating. For a Scripture lesson Rev. A. N. Stephens, pastor of the C. M. E. Church, read the 90th Psalm, after which Rev. W. H. Thomason, pastor of Satters Chapel A. M. E. Church, offered prayer. The choir sang "My faith looks up to Thee." The obituary was impressively read by M. S. McCaulley, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Rev. A. N. Stephens spelled plenary and timely of the life of the deceased as a business and insurance man. He spoke of the early struggles of Mr. Robinson and how he overcame them all. The choir sang "I need Thee every hour." Rev. Harris announced his text and used for a subject "From Poverty to Povery." The speaker declared that man brought nothing into this world and can carry nothing away. Its well-chosen words he spoke of the life and good works of the deceased. Thomason also spoke and teemed his sympathy to the bereaved family. On arising to speak Rev. Thomason led in singing "I'm the man who was with Mrs. Willa Brewer sweet as "Flee a Bird." With her sweet voice she tears. Rev. A. N. Stephens read letters and telegraphs of condolence. Then the choir sang "Abide with me."
Mr. Robinson was a man of gentle disposition and kindly nature, sympathetic and magnanimous. He was a true Baptist in every sense of the word, but he practiced that broad religion which comes only from the depths of a pure heart. He was a man who held many prominent positions; for a number of years he served as Treasurer of the Endowment Board of K. of P. State of New York. He was a special supporter of the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, a position seldom granted a Negro man, yet he honorably held it for many years. With his square business dealing, thrift and integrity he won a reputation all his own. His going away has cast a shadow of gloom over our city, for Dyersburg has lost one of its most trusted and highly respected citizens. Those who attended the funeral out of town were: Mrs. Annie Fields, Miss Minnie T. Davis, H. C. Fields, Miss Eleanor T. Davis, all relatives of the deceased. Others who attended were Mrs. L. E. Prowder, Centralia, III; Mrs. Bessie Coin, Paducah, Ky.; Dr. J. H. Connell, Covington, KY.

NUMBER 47
CAMPAIGN GROWS
NOTTER EACH DAY
LOOKS LIKE HOWSE WILL WIN—
EACH CANDIDATE FACES
STERN PROPOSITION—
GOOD CAMPAIGNS
The municipal campaign grows more interesting as the days go by, and more problematical. It is absolutely impossible at this juncture to forecast with any accuracy the result. It was confidently expected that in the primaries certain candidates would be elected, but all such expectations were disappointed. Now each candidate is facing some stern propositions upon the solution of which his fate hangs.
Of course the mayor's race is the most important and absorbing, and most in doubt. Mr. Howse must overbalance himself like other handed votes and thus gain some more to insure his election. Mr. Gupton must hold all his own and gain practically all of the Ewing votes to defeat Mr. Howse. There are certain elements in the contest which are very favorable to Mr. Howse, the first of which is the five thousand votes which were not cast and which in large measure will be cast on September 27th. Without doubt the big majority of these votes are Howse votes, if we are to believe in them, it seems clear that with sufficient and efficient work this vote will be gotten out and will swell the Howse numbers.
As much as has been said and written about the Howse machine, the truth is that it did not run at high power in the primaries September 18. There was T00 much OVERCONFIDENCE. The Ewing and Gupton machines were kept going at top speed all the way and the dash of the Howse machine, thoumh magnificent and dazzling, could not overtake them in the stretch. As it was however, only the Howse machine from the victory then, Sept. 27th will tell another story—a story of driving the Howse machine at top speed over the whole course. Mr. Gupton has conducted a splendid campaign with his powerful corps of managers and speakers. We'll have to give him credit. Nevertheless, he got many votes he was not due to poll—a gift of Howse over-confidence. (The same can be said of Mr. Ewing.) And some of these he cannot hold. In addition to this he must gain a big majority (some, thing like fifteen hundred) of the Ewing vote and a majority of the 5,000 not cast in the primary to win. He is going to win every ounce of strength to push it. That is clear. It is a pretty race, and if Mr. Howse works his trusty old machine at its best he will pull under the wire a winner.
Mr. Stainback has also a big job to defeat Mr. Lewis, who showed surprising strength in the primary and it seems to the observant that the one who corrallis the strongest corps of workers will win, for any little circumstance is likely to decide the race, and it takes the workers to be this circumstance to pass. Stainback opponents, with much effect, claim that he has been in too long and ought to give way to a man of more energy who would get out on the job. His supporters are putting forth the argument of experience and knowledge. Pretty nice points, but Mr. Stainback must do a great deal to keep his back. Mr. Treanor's fight against Mr. Elliott has been the amazing cause of the victory. Mr. Elliott makes the very point which Mr. Elliott makes as his claim for recollection. There are good things to be said for this record and Mr. Treanor has said something otherwise and the primary showed a plurality of over one thousand for Mr. Treanor. So we must certainly wait until September 27th. But, meanwhile, it must be stated and remembered that Mr. Elliott is some camper, also Mr. Treanor, and if Mr. Elliott is to keep his seat he must campaign and then go some.

Messrs Mason and King's orchestra very pleasantly surprised Miss Junita Adams, last Tuesday night, at the home of Miss Ida Love, whom she has been visiting for the past three weeks. Mrs. Alice Whittaker of East Tenth street entertained Miss Adams and Miss Love at twelve o'clock breakfast Friday. A delicious three course menu was served. Mrs. Italy Halface also entertained Miss Adams at her residence on Glade St., Tuesday night, the 12th. Miss Adams at her residence to Mr. Ira T. Bryant of the A. M. E. Channing House at Nashville returned to Mr. Jude at Tuesday September 15, after spending a delightful three weeks in Columbia. It perhaps speaks eloquently to say that her stay was prolonged from originally one week to thrice. The city has been around of social activity during her entire stay, and Miss Adams leaves many new friends, who deeply regret her departure.
WINCHESTER
Look. Listen, something doing Sunday, opened up fair and pleasant, it was a fine day for services, at our services were poorly attended for the reason, nearly everybody was seen on their way to Beans Creek to the Friendship Association. There was at least a 1000 people in attendance, you are aware of the fact that when the Primative Baptist come on, the scene all else must stand still. Rev. D. A. Townsend, D. J. Tate, W. H. Boddie, W. A. Warsaw, were among the visiting ministers in attendance to the big meeting. There were free dinners each day spread for all, you who were not there missed it all. The Ladies of St. John A. M. E. Church met with their pastor, Tuesday and arranged to have a mock East Tenn., Annual Conference to be pulled off Thursday night, October 12th.

NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits of News and Comments
On Men and Measures.
Color Lines to be Ignored in Army
Washington, D. C., Sept 18—That color lines are to be ignored in the assignment of Negro troops in the drafting section of the national army has been revealed in a general order issued from the War Department, indicating the department's intention to apportion the Negro troops even where possible in all cantonments. The order provides that in every cantonment there shall be one Negro infantry regiment where sufficient personnel is available. Protests have been made against quarterly Negro troops in certain areas of the South, but no modification has been made. The order is taken as an indication of what the War Department will do in disposing of similar regiments in national guard encampments.
WHISKEY AND ITS ALTERNATIVE.
New York. N. Y., Sept. 18—That the distilling of whiskey must cease but that the distillers will be allowed to produce alcohol for medical and industrial purposes is a piece of news well calculated to hearten the disciples of total abstinence. But the second thought, in this as in other cases sounder than the first, causes fearsome apprehension as to the medicinal and industrial uses to which *this alcohol will be put.* That it will enter more largely than ever into the concoction of patent medicines cannot be doubted. The elimination of whiskey will give a decided impetus to the sale of the "bitters" and "tonics" and "sovereign remedies" which have ruined the stomach of so many professed teeto
tailers in the rural districts. The consumption of these nocturnes, especially in prohibition States, has always been enormous, and the lilies that they are warranted to cure unlimited. When no disease is to be combated they are consumed under the prence that they "tune up the system" or "purify the blood." That is why they often become a tyrant is admitted by one every excec its slaves. In this connection we may remember that in the therum scene in "Julius Caesar" a citizen fears that a worse tyrant than the no murdered may come in the latter's place.
BLOODQUUND RUNS DOWN AL
LEGED CHICKEN THIEF.
Through the prompt work of Deputy Sheriff L. M. Ellison, an alleged chicken house raider was landed in jail this morning. Mr. Ellison received a call from a colored woman named Carthy, living on Fifteenth avenue, North, near Buchanan street, who reported a plank prized off of her fence, and the fowls missing from her back yard.
Mr. Ellison took with him his bloodhound, Kansas. On arriving at the scene the dog caught the trail at once, and followed it to the home of Arch Underwood, a white man, about 35 years old, living near Eighteenth avenue and Hamilton street. The fowls were found at Underwood's home, and he was placed under arrest. He claimed that he had purchased the fowls, but his statement was not satisfactory to the officers, and he was taken before Squire G. W. Davis and bound to the sun on the charge of housebreaking and larceny. In default of bond he was committed to jail.
Several other residents of the neighborhood report to Deputy Sheriff Ellison that their henneries had been raided recently.—Nashville Banner.

BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS IS GOMING.
Greatest now On Earth Will Seen Exhibit in This Vicinity.
Once again the glad tidings are being spread broadcast telling of the coming of Barnum and Bailey's circus. The greatest show on Earth, it is announced, will positively be exhibited within easy traveling distance this season and, as usual, a large percentage of the population will declare a holiday to visit the show. The big circus will exhibit in Nashville, on October 1
It is promised that nothing to compare with the present Barnum and Baily performance has ever before been seen under canvas. New and novel features have been imported from abroad and a program of events, thrilling, educational and screamingly funny, will occupy every instant in three rings, four stages, the riggings above and the hippodrome surrounding for more than three hours. There is a new and gorgeous pageant entitled, "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" in which nearly 1,400 persons and one thousand animals appear in magnificent costumes rivaling the dress of the people of the famous "Arabian Nights" story. This will be followed by a host of acts in all parts of the great enclosure. There will be silly clowns, a greatly increased menagerie, wild and unmanaged animals with great hordes of elephants caravans of camels and many recently born baby animals.
The free street parade, which will start from the circus lot at 10 o'clock on the morning of circus day, is entirely different from anything of the kind ever shown before. It will be three miles in length and there will be bands on foot, on horseback, and riding on top of wagons of red and gold. There will be six bands in all and they will be assisted by three steam callipopes and an electric piano. With the largest tent in the history of all circuses, the Barnum and Balley circus promises this season to make good again its boast that it is the Greatest Show On Earth. Five railroad trains comprising 89 railroad cars, will be required to transport its parapernalia, and more than 750 horses will be used to transfere its wagons from the railroad yards to the show lot.

HAPPIER AND BETTER WAY
When your boy goes away to war, don't make the parting an outward agony. Don't conjure up in your own mind and his an accumulation of the horrors of war and pile them all upon his back. Don't in your own mind mark him for death and wounds and disease and magnify him and his dangers into the casualties of a whole company; for the fact is that the death rate of the allied armies is only four to one of the death rate of the same men of the same age at home and in peace. Moreover, he must go, is going with a brave heart and in a great cause, keeping his police, walking and looking like a man and a hero. You owe it to him to keep your poise and bid him good bye with hope instead of despair in your heart and on your face and tongue.
Tell him to be brave. Tell him that you trust him and know that he will do his part. Tell him that a brave man dies only once and that a coward suffers death and worse than death every minutes of his life. Show him that he has a right to courage by inheritance.
He will come back. Most of the boys will come back. Let's bend our energies to live bravely and well to greet them when they do come back. Let's keep ourselves fit, fit to carry on our part at home, fit to seek out and bring home under our watchful care and love our own wounded if such event shall come to us.
Smile in his face as he goes. Tell him you shall never have him and his welfare out of mind until he comes home again. Tell him you will be waiting there where you stand to see him go. Tell him you are proud of him. Tell him that you bred him and cared for him and taught him and that you trust him to carry himself as your son in camp and trench. Tell him that this country is worth fighting for and that you will stand in line with the great reserve of fathers and mothers behind the sons of America. Meet your battle of parting as he will meet his battles against physical foes and moral temptations. Give him the knowledge that he came of a clean, brave stock.
Send the boys away with the certainty that we are behind them, a phalanx of brave hearts and willing hands unbreakable. Match his bravery and courage. Help him keep his calm in the face of those who crowd to cheer him on his way. He deserves all and more than that from you and from all of us.
Know pride in your sons. Step proudly. Keep a brave front. Be a patriot, as he is a soldier. Do your duty as he does his. It is the happier and better way.
A PRINCE AMONG MEN.
For years and years the name of George W. Stainback has been familiar to the people of Nashville, a household word to every boy, girl, man and woman. He is and has always been a high-class southern gentleman of the old school whose creed is equal and exact justice to all men. He is the acme of goodness, and is idolized by all who know him. He is a candidate to succeed himself as commissioner of streets, sewers and sidewalks, his record is an open book, his tenure of office has been free from even a suspicion of graff or all scandal. He has done well and ought to be re-elected. As a friend of labor, he has no peer. Asking any man who labors, and he will tell you that Stainback's life is as clean as a hound's tooth.
The laboring man of Nashville may search far and wide, but they'll not find a better friend than Geo. W. Stainback. He is the one true friend of the man who toils and the man who toils knows it. It is true he has been in office a few years, but you never turn down a true and tried servant for an experiment. Experiments are costly.
THE MAYOR'S RACE.
We again repeat our assertions made in these columns from time to time, Hilary E. Howse is the undoubted choice of the voters of this municipality. That being true, he will be elected on the 27th without question. He has the permanent affection of the toiling masses, because he is a man who does things, the right thing, at the right time. No red tape methods obtain with him when people in distress or want call upon his bounty. He has his first time to turn the cold shoulder to worthy sufferers. He is the man the people love and trust. He does not court the limelight of publicity but unostentationally goes about doing good for his fellowman. His record will bear the scrutinizing search light of any kind of investigation and he will emerge unattainted and unstained. Hilary E. Howse is the choice of the people and they are going to stand by him.
THE SCHOOLS
Thanks to the good women of Nashville, who called upon Superintendent Keys and protested against the housing of our children in the old Knowles School building, which is unsafe, unsanitary, and a veritable fire trap. We sincerely hope that the school board will see the wisdom of the women's prayer and grant relief. We surely need it. There is no denying the fact that the Negroes of Nashville are not getting a square deal from the School Board. The new high school building is remote from the street cars, some of the schools are crowded beyond their capacity, some of the buildings are deficient of everything sanitary.
The course of study in the high school is mediocre. There are no facilities, as they should be, for the teaching of writing, drawing and music, and many other things might be said but the above will suffice for a while. It seems as if cur male population are indifferent as to the schools. They don't try to remedy anything. Let the good women keep the matter before the school board.
COMMISSIONER OF WATER WORKS.
The office of the commissioner of waterworks and workhouse has been admirably administered under the able care of Robt. Elliott, who aspires to succeed himself. Mr. Elliott has done well, and deserves the office again. He has been true to every pledge made to his constituency, he has proven a better foe to extravagance in office, he has saved the city thousands of dollars, he has given us pure water and clean streets. What more can you ask? To turn him down now would be base ingratitude. He has done all that the taxpayers have asked. Let him stay in office.
We do not wish to treat our fellowman with any unnecessary unkindness, so we here and now say that when we have chicken pot pie on Sundays one would be sadly lacking in tender and generous sentiments to ring our door bell about meal time.
Faith is something that enables a man to believe that his misdeeds have all been forgiven, even though he knows that his neighbor is waiting for him with a shotgun just around the corner.
Married men, as a rule, make brave and persistent fighters; but once in a while one gives up in the midst of a strenuous campaign and asks the judge for a furlough.
We have two classes of unfortunates in this old vale of tears and laughter: those who can't get their minds on their work and those who can't get theirs off it.
The unutterable wearisome guts footed-would-be politician should go away back and sit down, as he is a millstone around any candidate's neck.
But, the simple and homely office girl is exceptionally good at attending to other people's business, and arrogating to herself overstrained authority.
After taking a squint at the Malno returns, the White House pickettes doubless will feel stimulated to re-double their highly profitable efforts
One of the most beautiful traits that make up the character of Hilary E. Howse is charity. The voters know it, and will act accordingly.
And it would be prodigiously stupid to pass a watermelon patch at 1 a. m. without making an officious investigation of the vines.
It is highly necessary that we visit our old friend, Phil Brown, at Hopkinsville, in order to fulfill a pressing and legitimate desire.
The mobilization of school children promptly at the appointed time all

over the country was a handsome performance also.
Even the flag, it appears, does not give infallible protection to the intruder within Giles county watermelon patches.
There are five United States senators who could serve their country best by resigning. Can you name 'em?
In expecting every man to do his duty America means also to include the man whose duty it is to shut up.
The fact that a thing is conventional is enough in itself to condemn the thing in some people's minds.
Hilary E. Howse is incorruptible and undefiled, and the voters are going to stand by him.

HOW TO SERVE ALL-WHEAT LESS MEALS
Begin Today To Use More Corn Meal and Less Wheat Flour.
"Begin today to eat more cornmeal and hominy grits in place of wheat flour and wheat breakfast foods," is the message of the United States department of agriculture is sending out broadcast to housewives. "Try a wheatless breakfast tomorrow and then extend the wheatless idea to other days or meals," the dietary specialist suggests.
To help the public use cornmeal as a wheat substitute, the department has ordered large editions of farmers' bulletin 565. "Cornmeal as a Food and Ways of Using It," which will be sent on request to all who apply for it. This bulletin shows that cornmeal dishes can be made to take the place of those made of wheat and supplies more than fifty tested recipes for its use for breakfast, luncheon and dinner.
Corn, a great natural breadstuff of this country, the department's specialists point out, has not been used for human food nearly as much as its valuable nutritive qualities warrant. This is due largely to the fact that many persons with a wheat-using 'habit never have taken the pains to learn to use corn. There is no important dietic difference between corn and wheat. Bread is convenient as a course of starch and protein, but in the ordinary mixed diet it makes little difference whether one gets the required cereal ration in the form of raised or light bread, mixed bread or biscuits, or as much, hominy grits or desserts.
To those who wish to try wheatless meals, the department suggests the following:
Some Suggestions For Uses of Corn, meal or hominy grits, served with cream and sugar, butter, syrup, or fresh or dried fruit.
As a substitute for wheat biscuits, rolls or toast, the housewife can employ a dozen different forms of corn bread, such as hoe cake, dogssoft, or spoon corn bread, hominy bread, corn meal and rye. Boston brown bread, Zuni Indian bread, etc.
Fried corn meal mush, fried hominy, or cornmeal pancakes made with very little wheat flour, will be found a pleasing variation from wheat cakes.
Corn meal codfish cakes, corn meal scrapple, corn meal croquettes, corn meal or hominy cooked with meat, fish, cheese, eggs or milk, will supply nourishing dishes for the hearty courses.
Hominy grits and coarse hominy (sometimes called samp) may be boiled and used like macaroni or wheat pastes to serve as side dishes with rice.
For dessert, Indian pudding, corn meal and fig or apple pudding, apple dumblings, corn meal doughnuts, gingerbreads, cake, fruit gems, etc., will contribute variety as well as nourishment to the bill of fare.
The housewife who wishes to substitute corn for some but not all of the wheat flour can make excellent raised or light breat, pancakes, waffles, muffins, rolls, graham flour, Indian bread, etc.
That wheat, rice, rye, barley, oats, corn and potatoes are largely interchangeable as sources of starch in the diet is made clear in Farmers' bulletin S08. "How to Select Foods—What the Body Needs."

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

In this present world) Titus 2:11-12.) I am glad that those who are saved, we saved, now we saved and how well. How are we saved? By grace through faith. (Eph 2:8-10.)

THE NEGRO'S WATCHFUL WAITING
By Irvins Curry.
Not since the dark days of 61-65 has the black man of America experienced a more terrible crisis than he is facing now.
I'm a black boy and I see many things that are going to meet with a great disaster in the near future.
We have adopted the policy of our good president. "A watchful Waiting."
We are plunged into the great world disaster. We are preparing ourselves to be useful to our government in every way. We have prepared, but yet we have not been given the chance. Opportunity comes, but once, and then she is gone forever; now this opportunity has come in some ways, concerning our home, the Sunny Southland."
We are all Americans, though charged with disloyalty, we know no other flag but the American flag, the flag that has caused us to make this wonderful advancement.
Fellow citizens! Do you realize that this is not time for folly? This is not a white man's war, it is a black man's war also.
We have followed the flag from Lexington to Carilaz, and we will follow the flag again from Carilaz to Victory.
Maltreatment, mobs, riots and injustice I may receive, but I'm an American. That God for me, but I if had a thousand lives I would give them all for the cause of democracy.
No Negro has ever armed himself
no oppose the draft law, no Negro has walked to the White House as a pacifist to intolerate the president Popes' rotten peace plans which will not make the world safe for democracy But for the great sacrifice the Negro mother must give up her son, and the white mother must do upon the same plan.
In the cold trenches of France amid shot and shell when the command is given to charge, black men and white sacrifice, and the red giving the same sacrifice, and the red being on both run upon the field. It is impossible to discriminate the white man's blood from the black man's blood. What happens then?
To the Southern farmer. Do not leave your farm, stick to it, you are choosing the better part, you are doing your bit by help aiding the food supply, you are the backbone in helping win the war. The South is your home, and it is up to you to make the best of it. Let us have more and better schools, more social privileges, and let our slogan be "Better Homes." This is our policy, "A watchful Waiting to be of service.
The time is not ripe for folly, and we will take the word of Lincoln to stride on "I will make ready and maybe my chance will come."
That chance is sought by ten million black eager faces, but may we stop seeking and find.
"We were born in America, we live in America, and we will die for America."
"We are Americans! That's all!"

Information has come from quite a number of former employees of Mr. Lewis, who were in his employment for several years. During of the time that these men were working for Mr. Lewis, that had an occasion to borrow money during of the week, of which they had already earned. In order to get this loan, they were forced to pay 25c on the dollar. A number of times these men would borrow money as late as Thursday and Friday, and was forced to pay the 25c interest, on Saturday which was pay day. Each and every colored voter, should give this matter a good thought before voting for a man that gave such treatment.

. . .
The champion Black Sox won one of the best games of the season from the Maroons. The two teams battled for seven innings without making a score. The game was a pitcher's battle between Stratton and P. Patton. With men on bases they tightened up and there was nothing doing. Stratton had the better of the battle. He only gave up four hits and walked one man. P. Patton pitched a great game. He struck out the Sox's heavy hitter with the bases full. He struck out Ware, Jones and Stratton when a hit would have scored a run. He should have won his game, but at critical times of the game his teammate, Blair, made an error and the Sox scored the only run of the game in the last half of the seventh and a great game was over.

Black Sox Done.
Mr. William Frye played a great game at first base in last Sunday's game. He played in his old time form. As he has been on the sick list all the season he has not been able to play, he says he is in fine form and will be in the last games of the season next Sunday day at Greenwood Park.
. . .
The Champion Black Sox players said to the followers of the Sox, "Come out Sunday and see the Sox win the pennant for the fourth tie and carry this silver cup home with an honor that no other base ball club has. The Black Sox are the first base team in the history of the great American team that has won four consecutive pennants or any league.
***
Mr. Thomas Amos, the Sox's class and fast utility man, put on some speed when he came all the way from second base home with the ball in the infield, with the run that won one of the prettiest ball games of the season for the Sox. Mr. Amos is one of the hardest ball players in the league. He is a hard worker and is always in the game.
Paul Bains of the Sox is the fastest second baseman in the league. He has played a great game at the keystone sack all the season and is out in front of all second basemen in the league. That is, he is in a class by himself.

Well, it is good to the Capital City League. Its umpiring is rotten from start to finish. Its laws only work onesided. There is always a humbug, if not in one place, it is in another. O, we are hard losers, but we don't play the outlaw stuff. Take the rights away from each other. It is a regular jack pot. We got about all we expected out of the league, as we had no official in the league. What else could we expect? But we made it hot for some of them with our three sackers on the hill, and if that don't suit you I'll send in my shortstop, W. Patton, for seven innings. What do you say, Mr. Stratton, if the Capital City League sticks up a purse and sees us go for the hard coin.

GETTING APART
ed National Baptist Convention convenes with the Baptists of Little Rock, Ark, September, 1918, while our incorporated brethren have flown to the "Atlantic Seaboard" way up to Newark, New Jersey. May be they are on their way out of the country, and then perhaps, finding themselves wailing in the good old sunny South, they are following in the wake of many other southern Nerges; migrating to the North where the clime is more congenial to their utenable position—"cold."
The National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) reached the high water mark in its recent session held with the Baptists of Atlanta and Georgia in general. The high water mark of Efficiency as it applies to the accomplishment of real constructive work was reached. Never before in the history of that organization has so much accomplished for the kingdom of Christ and the Baptists. The raising of money to put the Theological Seminary upon a sound and positive footing were among the many great things accomplished. The establishment of a Training school for Baptist women also seems to be an assured fact. The high water mark from the view point of attendance was also one of the satisfactory conditions of our National gathering. As one who knows, the Editor of the People's Defender is prepared to say that more real work was accomplished at this meeting than has been accomplished in the last twenty years when the brethren were all together. If the brethren of incorporated fame did as much work and had as pleasant a session as did the unincorporated brethren, then it seems a divine blessing that the old Convention split; for the Lord knows that we were not doing anything when we were all together but making big speeches, telling lies and (well you know) fussing; and well, yes, getting up some money for the National President and Secretary. Well, you know that kept us moving pretty lively, as we had to dance to the tune of about $2,000 for THOSE TWO AUTOCRATIC RULERS.
OUR NEW SECRETARY OF HOME

The Editor of the People's Defender was elected by the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention as its general or Corresponding Secretary.

The Board at its session just closed at Atlanta, elected the Editor of the People's Defender as its chief officer and placed
