NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. THE NEGRO AND THE FOOD CRISIS Dr Holtis B. Frissell, whose twenty-five years of constructive work as principal of Hampton Institute, the pioneer school for the industrial training of Negro and Indian youth, made him known around the world as an educational statesman, declared, shortly before his death, a burying call for Negroes to meet the food crisis imposed on the world by the Great War. He said: "The coming need of the present time is an increased food supply. Thousands of people on the other side are dying of starvation. For years to come the question of raising sufficient food will be one of the great problems of this country. "There are twelve million blacks in this country, nearly 80 per cent of whom are on the land. "Hampton Institute has been training agricultural and industrial leaders of these people. It has sent out nearly ten thousand young people with a knowledge of plants, animals, and soils, which makes it possible for them to instruct the masses of their race in better methods of farming. "Hampton prepares its young people to be instructors—the boys in farming and the girls in cooking, gardening, canning, and all that makes for improved food conditions." Enlightened Leadership. What Hampton Institute has tried to do on a limited scale must be done on a National scale, if the Negro is to be given the opportunity of doing what he can do and in most willing to do, not only to serve more efficiently in the United States Army and Navy, but also to help with the final victory for democracy through better farming. The United States must have a large number of trained Negro teachers of farming and home-making. The twelve million of these women and children of this country need a more enlightened leadership. Today men are earning that the work of ten to fifteen persons at home is required in order to keep one man amply supplied at the front. We have not yet begun in the United States to train nearly as many Negro leaders in farming and home-making as we should have. We are not capitalizing at anything little value he abandons but relatively little value he maintains of labor which is represented in the South by a vast array of willing colored workers. Negroes Meet the Crisis Dr. Frissell spent thirty-seven previous years in helping colored men and women to develop their latest powers. He instilled in thousands upon thousands of colored citizens the ideal of intelligent and unselfish service. The refu of Dr. Frissell's life and work, at and through Hampton Institute is clearly shown for example, in the work of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. Under the leadership of Allen W. Washington, this Society touches the lives of over 350,000 colored citizens of Virginia. It has been co-operating cheerfully and successfully with Herb Bottorow and his associates in the Food Administration promaganda. Today Negroes by the hundreds of thousands, scattered throughout the nation, are seriously devoting themselves to making workable plans for increasing the nation's supply of food and conserving the products of the through a more intelligent use of those in the kitchen. Negroes are meeting daily and successfully the food crisis imposed by war. Intelligence enthusiasm, and vision have always come as results of farseeing white people being willing to take their colored neighbors into their counsels and to share with them the responsibility of carrying on this Great War. The Negro always has stood, and always will stand, by his white friends, whether in the field of military service or in the field of home activities. The Negro stands ready today to help his white neighbors carry this war to successful finish and win a lasting victory for intelligent, Christian democracy.—Wm. Anthony pery. CITIZENS FOR SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT By E. B. Frazier, the Lineville, Ala., Jan. 2.—tooker T. Washington, Jr., of Tuskegee, Ala., spoke at 11 o'clock at the Bellemele M. E. Church in the interest of building a Rosenwald State school house for the colored citizens. There was a large crowd out in spite of the unavailable weather. The sum of $1,000 was raised in cash. He canvassed among the white menrants of the town and secured $200 for the movement of the new school building. The community will raise $400 the Rosenwald Funds will give $400 and we are expecting the state to contribute $400, making a tower of $1,200. Mr. Washington brought the Negroes nearer together than ever, before. We have been trying to get a school for years, and his visit has done more for the building than has ever been done before.

THE GLOBE LEADS The holiday issues of many of our exchanges are at hand and while they all show greater volume of business they have not seemed to make any particular advancement in furnishing a number in keeping with the season. Locally our esteemed contemporary, the Citizen Advocate, presented a highly creditable issue which could not help being appreciated. The Broad Axes comes to us 16 pages on book paper, which is indeed a worthy accomplishment. The Nashville Globe in three sections of 8 pages each will perhaps carry of the prizes as the biggest issue. Others have not as yet reached our desk. Dr. G. H. A. Bryant of Humboldt Tenn, paid us a flying visit. He brought with him for operation Mrs. Roch Simmus of the above named place. NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS TO BAPTISTS NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS TO BAPTISTS BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR 1918— BEST WISHES FOR ALL THE CHURCHES—SPIRIT OF ACTIVIT TL TO BE CONINUED. Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 24.—To the Baptists throughout the United States of America; I extend to you my best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May the spirit of the Lowly Nawzer permeate the atmosphere in every community. May this Yuletide season, together with the prospects of 1918, orgladness and joy to your hearts. May the Foreign Mission Board in its recent location have the hearty and unstinted support of every true lover of mission work. May the churches take on new life, new course, and may the Sunday school forces under the leadership of the churches redouble their efforts to support that every member of the denomination, whether at home or abroad, carry out the plan and purpose recently adopted at the Atlanta meeting. Some of the things I am especially urging you to give your attention to are: First, the spiritual welfare of every church, be it ever so humble; 2nd, the spirit of contributions and send to the various departments of religious endeavor; third, the effort in the establishment of our religious educational work; help us by sending in a donation to the Theological and Training Schools; purchase; then join in in helping us to furnish Bibles and song books to every cantonment where our 'boys are in canups. I hope to meet and shake hands with all the leaders at our Sunday School Congress in Alexandria, La, next June and at the National Baptist Convention in Little Rock, Ark., next September. BISHOP-ELECT DEMBY. The Diocese of Arkansas has again shown wise discrimination in the election of a Bishop Suffragan for work among the colored people of that Diocese. Archdeacon Denby, like Archdeacon Russell, who declined the election, is a man of proven ability in a trying and difficult field. He knows the south thoroughbay shaving spent the greater portion of his ministry there. He is a man of sound scholarship, broad sympathies, great missionary zeal, decided administrative ability and of uncompromising loyalty to the faith which he professes and teaches. The Anglican communion, to which the Episcopal Church belongs, has given the priesthood to hundreds of men of African blood and descent, and has elevated some six or seven to the episcopate. The American Episcopal Church has given the episcopate two colored priests, the late James Theodore Holly and the late Samuel David Ferguson, but their sees lay outside of the United States. The Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas will be the first colored priest of the American church to be consecrated for service within the United States. As this will be an epoch-making event in the religious life of colored Americans, the election of a Suffragan bishop for Arkansas has an importance beyond the limits of that special diocese and communion. Should Archdeacon Demby accept his election, which we believe he will, he will carry into that high office the same devotion, consecration and high ideals which have characterized his entire ministry. We congratulate Arkansas and Archdeacon Demby upon this unanimous election.—Omaha Monitor. IS GOD AN ALLY OF THE KAISER? The German Kaiser in a speech to his second army is reported to have said; "The year 1917 with its great battles has proved that the German people have in the Lord of Creation above an unconditional and avowed ally on whom it can rely. Without Him all would have been in vain!" Such a statement reaches the sublimity of egoism, and is only a paraphrase of the exploded dictum of a much deluded Napoleon, which a deluded Kaiser seeks to perpetuate on the minds of a misguided people. History has proved that God was on the side of the strongest battalion; and Napolean met his Waterloo. It must now be clearer than ever in the minds of the American people that this Teuton burglar is resolved to have no other peace than a peace dictated from Berlin, on terms which would leave the world in a worse state of turmoil than the present. Peace, to be an enduring peace, must come neither through the "iron fish" nor the "shining sword" of the Kaiser, but through the united effort and unflattering deternent mind of a world sworn to the perils of a German victory, determined that God is not an ally of the German warlord, but on the contrary an ally of justice and equity. —Boston Chronicle. MRS, BEDFORD DIES IN ATLANTA, GA Mrs. Ella V. Bedford departed this life December 9, 1917, in Atlanta, Ga. She was sick only a short white, but bore her illness patiently.

Walden College, the honored mother of Meharry shared the real spirit of love and devotion which Walden has ever had for her offspring, Meharry. As a fond mother looks upon the lovely, beautiful, biossophying young womanhood of her favorite daughter as the early blush of young maidenhood evolves into the more beautiful and fruitful young womanhood, so under the wise guidance of Dr. White, Walden College offers the preface to her best daughter, Meharry and when possible lends a approving hand and welcomes an approving smile. Walden this year as last joined in the program to help make the day memorable. Her numbers on the program were edifying and inspiring. The fond wish of Meharry is that this reciprocal relation my ever exist. As the fond parents direct and admire the efforts of their children to follow their precepts and good examples so Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard grace these occasions with their presence and efforts. Every department was efficiently represented. The Literary department as well as the Medical Dental, Pharmaceutical and Nurse Training. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS Meharry is always glad to welcome visitors. Dr. H. H. Walker, now bearing the distinguished title of Captain in the U. S. Army, graced the Emancipation Day platform, in his military garb. He had words of cheer and hope to offer to the 400 Meharry men who had enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps. Dr. J. W. Tildon of Fort Worth, Texas, father of the Tilden brothers now in Meharry honored the institution by a visit to his two sons and son-in-law. He sat upon the platform and when introduced spoke words of cheer and commendation to the large audience who witnessed the Emancipation Exercises. Dr. E. J. Gunn and wife visited the Colleges January 1st. The Rock City Academy of Medicine held a reception in honor of Capt. H. H. Walker at the Y. M. C. A., Wednesday night. The members of the Academy and Dr. M. C. Mitchell of Montezuma, Ga., brought eightATIVE cases to the hospital this week in the phenomenal process which attended the former four cases brought by the good doctor gave confidence to others suffering. The student body in all the departments has been flooded with boxes of good things to eat and parcels of pretty things to wear. These came from relatives and interested friends. Dr. O. B. Taylor of the faculty reports a very pleasant time at Springfield, Tenn., last week, where he visited the hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. T. Howard Bullard. Dr. Bullard is a very successful physician and is making good, both as doctor and student at Mearhry, "T. H." was always in the foremost ranks, a leading Y. M. C. A. and Sunday school worker. Mrs. Bullard is truly the angel of the home and her manner of house keeping is sufficient to revolutionize the mind of the most skeptical old bachelor. Dr. O. B.

TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY TRAGEDY Comments by the White Press Houston and East St. Louis. From the Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain Deb. 14. "The people of the United States will generally approve of the sentences that were imposed on the members of the colored regiment who mutinied at Houston, Texas. At the same time the people of the country will demand that a similar punishment be meted to the white men who killed the Negroes in East St. Louis a few weeks before the occurrence at Houston. If anything, the acts of the white people in East St. Louis were far more grave than the acts of the Negroes in Houston. In no manner was either act excusable, and the military authority exercised wise judgment in inflicting a sure and painful punishment. If the civil population in East St. Louis fail to inflict a similar punishment on the men who were guilty of those murders and crimes, it will only go to show that our government falls down in certain circumstances, and it will only go to increase the feeling that punishment is not fairly meted out. Uniform Should Have Protection. From the Buffalo Courier, December 12, 1917. The grim, melancholy sequel to the mutiny and riot of Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry at Houston was enacted yesterday when on a government reservation thirteen of these, including five non commissioned officers, with heads erect, untrembling, singing a brym as the dispatches recite, marched to the place of execution and on a great gallows were hanged until they were dead. As further prescribed by the court-martial findings, forty-one others will go to prison for life. A few received shorter sentences. Of the sixty-three tried, five were acquitted Hardly in the history of the American army is found a parallel of this tragical chapter. The men who have suffered death were guilty of disobedience of orders, and of lawless conduct, and of killing civilians. They were as guilty of murder as are the white lynchers of Texas who go unpunished. Justice and military discipline required that the extreme penalty be publicly withheld the military court procedure no fault can fairly be found. The judgment can be accepted as righteous and the execution as necessary. Nevertheless, the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Negro infantry of the regular army has a long general record of efficiency and constancy which this gloomy episode may hardly impair. During the time when a battalion of the organization was in garrison at Fort Porter in this city, never was a complaint of misconduct heard. As far as deportment is concerned, never did any troops act rationally here, and no doubt that in the minds of the soldiers who natified at Houston passion and bitter resentment were stirred by continual abusive aggression by whites as low in the intellectual if not in the common social scale. The states have authority within their territory. They may allow Texans to lynch a Negro because he is black, Georgians to lynch a Jew because of his race. But the uniform of the United States army should everywhere in the states have the right and respect, never be the race or color or creed of the wear, and, especially in this time of great war, the whole civil and military power of the nation should, if needful, be exercised to insure such protection and respect. Mistreatment Not Executable. From New York World. "The hanging of thirteen Negro soldiers, who participated In the Houston riot last August, was the most drastic military punishment in the history of the United States. Forty-one others were sentenced to serve shorter terms. "It was a terrible crime that these men committed. It has been terribly punished, and justly and properly punished. No excuse could be made, no leniency shown to the men in the United States uniform who set out to easily to commit indictment murder. They were soldiers who had been trained to military discipline, and in defiance of officers the organized a mob under their own leaders for a massacre of the and all persons who crossed the path. "At the same time, the Horriot and the events growing on should be a warning to Soufficials. At the start the Horriote were to blame.

(From Nashville Daily Banner.) Rather than eat turkey with cranberries as has been their custom for the past twenty years on New Year's Day, he employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board decided that they would rather have the cost of the sumptuous dinner converted into religious literature and sent to the soldiers in the various camps. For the past score of years the Rev. R. H. Boyd, the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, together with his Board, has given a New Year's Dinner to all of the employees and their families. Preparations for this dinner had already been made for tomorrow, a menu had been agreed upon and a caterer selected to serve the dinner. In spite of this, it seems that the patriotic spirit among the employees had been toned up to a high pitch. A number of them had recently participated in the jubilee benefit concert given for the soldiers. It seems that the thought lingered among them and on Saturday they took their noon lunch hour and held a rousing demonstration meeting in the chapel of the Publishing House plant. Patriotic addresses were delivered and finally resolutions were offered by one of the young ladies, the head of the proof reading department, requesting that in view of the fact that the boys at the front were not being sufficient religious literature, that they sacrifice their dinner in order that the proceeds might be converted into Bibles, song books, etc. Rev. Dr. Ellington, the editorial secretary, made a stirring address, which was followed by Mr. Wm. Frank, Mr. M. L. C. Chars, Mr. N. E. King, Mr. L. S. Gray, Mr. Wm. Jennings, Mr. L. K. Thomas, and others. Finally it was decided to send for Dr. Boyd. When he was apprized of the action of the employees, he readily consented and declared "You have set a beautiful precedent in depriving yourselves of this New Year's dinner in order that your boys have volunteered for the army might get an ocular demonstration of your interest in them, and I shall request our board to take the three hundred dollars or more that this dinner usually costs us and send it in literature to the boys in the trenches and those in the camps. Success is already assured. The very fact that you are willing that the Word of God should accompany these boys as they go and that you are as sacrificing in this patriotic way means success to our cause," declared the Continued on page 8. A NATURAL BORN LEADER J. C. Napier is holding the National Negro Business League true to the ideals and standards set by its founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and the tremendous outpouring at the Chattanooga meeting last August indicated that he enjoys the fullest measure of confidence of the flower of the race that followed the late "wizard." The League will shortly set the place and date of the 1918 session and it will begin at once to lay their plans goes without the saying that the clans to be present. Mr. Napier is a natural leader of men and under his wise and painstaking guidance the National Negro Business League will grow stronger year by year and inspire the colored American to bigger things in the world of commerce and industry.

The white people at Vicksburg, Mississippi, who a few days ago insulted and humiliated the colored officers there and made them pull off their uniforms, made a mistake. White people should know better than to do a thing of that kind. Gentlemen, this is war time. The place to fight is in the army.—Dallas Express. THE DUTY OF ALL.

Dec. 28.-At a spacious council of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas, held in Christ, this city, the Venerable Edward Thomas Deming, archconch of work at the Diocese of Tennessee and principal of Mary Industrial Institute at Keeling, Tenn., was unanimously chosen on the first ballot as Suffragan Bishop of Arkansas. In the event of his acceptance and concession he will have charge of the work among the colored Episcopalians in this diocese, and participation in the other diocese and districts of the Province of the Southwest. Last May, in order to adequately provide for aggressive missionary work among both races in Arkansas, the diocese decided to elect a Suffragan Bishop for the white work and one for the colored work. Archdeacon Saphore was elected for the former, and Archdeacon Russell, principal school of Lawrenceville, Va., for the latter field. Archdeacon Russell declined the election. This necessitated the calling of the special council which has just elected Archdeacon Demby, who received the second highest number of votes at the time of Archdeacon Russell's election. Bishop-elect Demby is well qualified for the position he has been chosen. He was educated at Howard and Wilberforce universities and at Matthew Hall, Denver.

J., Dec. 24.—Last Thursday in the County Courthouse at Mays Landing, Kinzie Custard of this city was acquitted of the very serious charge of manslaughter. The acquittal was due to the untiring of fort and the very masterful handling of the case by Attorney James A. Lightfoot, Atlantic City's leading coderector lawyer. She was accused of causing his sister to jump from a second story window. She died as a result of her injuries. The facts of the case showed that the young woman who was of an excitable character became frightened during an altercation between her brother and another man, ran upstairs and jumped from the window before anyone could stop her. The State's Attorney second deter mined to railroad Custard to the petitiliary. Attorney Lightfoot, not charge of the defense.

ELECTING WETS OR DRYS One of the primary effects of the submission of the prohibitory amendment by congress to the states will be the reintroduction of the liquor question to all the states which had previously disposed of it. And it will add impetus to the fight in those states that have not yet adopted the dry policy. Twenty-seven states already have settled the dispute with more or less permanency, or they thought they had, and it will come with something of a shock to them that the voting must be done all over again. Most of them will take comfort, of course, or at least their dry element will take comfort, in the knowledge that, having already lived under the dry regime for a greater or less period of time, the benefits are so thoroughly established that a ratification of the amendment is a prefunctory affair, not to be considered as interfering seriously with war problems and other questions coming up for settlement from time to time. To such states the ratification will be preceded by no great political struggle. But in some states where the question has been but recently settled, or where the voters have not yet quite decided to enter into a permanent condition of dryness, the contest will be a bitter one, and it may be expected that many other questions of importance will be relegated. In such states the wet and dry issue will be the paramount one, beginning with the 1918 campaign. Legislatures will be elected largely with regard to the attitude of the membership on the liquor question. Each candidate for the legislature may expect to be subjected to a minute inspection as to his standing on the overshadowing issue. In most of the legislative districts there may be expected to be two candidates, the one a wet adherent and the other a dry. Their election or rejection will depend very much, in many cases entirely upon their views as to the liquor question, regardless of their ability or lack of ability in other respects. As a consequence, it may come to pass that in these states there will be suffering lack of constructive legislation until the liquor question is settled, or until the seven years allowed by congress for ratification of the amendment have passed. To such unhappy states the submission of the question at this time will prove bothersome. Unless the voters nominate men of ability, they will pay for it. The ideal way would be for both sides to select statesmen as legislative candidates so that even though the liquor question must be disposed of, other matters of state will not suffer. If the wets confine their efforts to the election of men solely upon their propensity to vote "No" and if the drys send only fanatics to the legislature, the state will suffer to the end of the chapter. TIRESOME FUNERALS The services which are usually held over men and women of the race prominent in church or fraternities, are entirely too tiresome. We have known funerals six hours long. There is no sense in all this hypocritical gush one hears at some obsequies. If the departed brother or sister could only hear the good things are said, we are sure they would periphrasied. But what we started today is, that funerals are uneasy long and wearisome. We sense in the reading of newspapers and telegrams the family of the deceased as the public is not concerned about these epistles at all. Those long resolutions from this lodge and that lodge could be left out with entire satisfaction to the assembled mourners and friends. The unlimited jargon by the stereotyped volunteer speech makers could be eliminated. Too many frills and furbelows are wholly out of place as it makes the funeral resemble a festival where all are having a good time. The undertakers we opine would welcome with great acclaim a sane and simple funeral in which a few well chosen songs are rendered, a prayer, a short sermon, and on to the cemetery. Too many of us make the funeral occasion one of levity and not of mourning. Let's cut out all the undesirable and uncalled for funeral exercises. If the deceased be very prominent a memorial meeting might be had later where the virtues of the departed may be extolled and the letters and telegrams of condolence read. We have seen the funeral of many prominent white persons, presidents of railroads, high church dignitaries and men way up in fraternal circles whose funeral services were exactly one hour and sometimes not so long. Let us do away with these long funerals, the public welfare requires it. THE HAPPY FARMER Who wouldn't be a farmer. He is truly lord of all creation. During these frief days all he has to do is to set back and be happy. Corn in the crib a plenty, meat in the smoke house, a goodly supply of vegetables, and fruits in the cellar, verily he is the one contented man. His blazing loz fire gives him warmth and conducibility. He cares naught for the snows and blizzards. He is surrounded by all the comforts that goes to make one take life easy. Cattle in the barn yards, hops in the pen, chickens in and around the stables gives the farmer a goodly return the year round. While we city chaps are wondering where our next load of coal will come from, the farmer is busy eating crackling broad, spareribs, and popping corn in the ashes. Who wouldn't be a farmer? Oh, joy! The sugar situation is said to be critical. If there is any other situation that is not in the same boat, we would like the name of it. Next to taking over the millinery department, the government by assuming control of the railroads has grabbed the biggest job conceivable. There never was a time in the history of the Negro race, when there was so much need of calm and clear thinking as now. A Nashville man says his wife has done more work for the preacher in the last three months than she has done at home in ten years. Well, well, our dear old friend W. E. Cook of Pikeville, has taken up poetry as a side line. Ed is a great fellow. To the fellow who has to buy coat and pay for it, a lot of this fuel administration is all hot ;rir and not usable. Nope, the luckiest man isn't the fellow with a pot of money. He's the guy whose heater does its bit regardless of temperature and winds. Oh. Mr. Hoover, have the prices of rabbit and fish advanced on account of the high cost of raising them? The United States has enough red tape to hog tie all the German leathers when captured. Remember these troublesome times, that a man who fights while laughing is never licked. Why should a man kick on the scarcity of sugar, when he has a sweet wife at home? It is quite impossible to tell who our friends are, sometimes, until we see which side is going to win. Time and tide wait for no man. It might be added that they do not even wait for war departments. In some homes there aren't enough closets for clothes, let alone the family skeleton. Besides we need a new central high school in our business. But, so far the coal inquiry has not made a great deal of smoke. And, Mr. McAdoo is in a fine place to make a reputation. To the Editor of the Nashville Globe: Kind Sir: In reading the Nashville Banner of Saturday, December 28th, 1917, I found an article written by a well known Nashville member of the Negro race, entitled "Negro's Debt of Gratitude for 1917." You will find enclosed the Negro's debt of gratitude as I see it. As I have no position to loose, neither do I seek fame in the eyes of the people with such writings, therefore I feel free to write on this subject. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY JANUARY 4. 1918 Thanking you in advance for this favor. I am. GLOBULES. By R. W. Thompson. Somehow, we can't think much of a religion that halts at the color line. * * * Emnett J. Scott's position as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War would be made much easier if his colored friends would realize that his mission is one of impressing the principles and policies that ensure equality of opportunity, regardless of race, rather than that of distributing individual favors or dictating patronage. It is its primary duty to see to it that each colored man is given the same chance to attempt to say which one shall reap a certain reward. Bear this in mind when laying problems before "Our Ambassador" of the national court. . . . Women would be more acceptable as "roomers" if they would be less in evidence in the homes in which they seek quarters. Householders do not surrender all of their privileges of privacy and personal comfort when they let out a room or to help pay their high rents. * * * * It is the most difficult thing in the world to assist a quarrelling husband and wife to compose their differences. Let 'em alone. It is of little consequence whether the N. A. A. C. P. or some other influence did the lion's share of the work in beating down the segregation ordinance." The main point is to keep in operation some influence that is able to beat down the legislation that would hold the Negro in the ditch. Let everybody have a medium through which some service can be rendered in this direction, and we need not quarrel as to the number of force volts each exerts. So, a movement is on foot by which Negroes are to be returned to Congress. The race has not been represented in the national legislature since the 55th Congress, George H. White of North Carolina, having been the "Last of the Mollicans." J. Silas Harris, head of the National Educational Congress, which is starting the new propaganda, figures it out that with the proper push, colored representatives can be elected from the heavy Negro districts of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and other places. The plan proposed is worthy of serious study, for, surely the 12,000,000 colored Americans are entitled to a voice in the enactment of laws they are expected to obey. Limitation by class or caste has no place in our national code. ☆ ☆ ☆ This is the day of the mechanic, the men of business acumen, the builders of thin's, and the skilled farmer. The one who merely knows must give way to him who can do things—who can bring things to pass. * * * * The world now realizes that in starting the world movement toward industrial education, Booker T. Washington builted better than he knew. The training of the hand along with the head, once held to be intended solely for the black man has been so caught up and absorbed by the wildewake white man that without a weapon to force who gave the idea its first great emphasis as a national system. The so-called "common occupations" of life have been given cornerstone eminence through the preemphasis of the founder of Tuskegee institute. * * * * The colored man is now to have his chance in the world of organized labor. * * * However desirable it may be to wear the insignia of an officer in the army, it is no mean thing to be "just a private". To be a first-class private is now a badge of superlative fitness. Mind, soul and valor are at a discount without physical soundness. A private with a fit body may one day rise to official rank, while the commander of trail physique is apt to fall out of the line at any moment. * * * The National Council of Defense should insist upon its program for the registration and licensing of all societies soliciting funds for war relief. This will not interfere with those that are legitimate and will protect the sympathetic public from frauds and prevent the waste of energy out forth by organizations that overlap in purpose and militated against the flotation of government loans. Relief organizations should have known offices, been regular books of account and be subject to audit and proper supervision. A definite plan of extending relief and method of selecting the beneficiaries should be included in the relief systems can be coordinated under some general plan the generosity of the public will soon be worn threadbare and many open purses will be closed. No righteous cause need have fear of the light. ☆ ★ ★ Bishop C. H. Phillips, the mentor of the C. M. E. Church, is as great patriot as he is a preacher or prelate in a recent sermon, following the Biblical text: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlast life." The eminent theologian told of his love for his country in this fervent declaration: "If a man loves his country he is willing to fight and die for his country. My increased years will not permit me to should-er arms, but I have two sons who are doctors, and I would cheerfully give them for the defense of the Stars and Stripes, and to maintain America as the land of the free and the home of $^{4}$ the love."

Nearly $30,000 were handed out by the three colored banks of Savannah, Ga. to the members of their Christmas savings clubs. The exact figures are $29,618. The clubs had 2,000 members, giving an approximate average amount saved per member of $12.00. The Wage-Earners' Bank, with 1,500 club members, gave out $20,000. The Savannah Realty and Savings Corporation, with 750 members, distributed $7,118, and the Mechanics' Savings Bank with 220 members, handed out $2,500. Besides these amounts, hundreds of colored people had Xmas cards in white banks. This Christmas savings club system is a helpful one and it should be encouraged everywhere. Get the saving habit.

EDITOR CHASE OF THE WASHINGTON “BEE” OFFERS ADVICE. Washington, D. C. Jan. 3. —The Washington Bee, of which William Calvin Chase is the well known and famous editor, offers this advice to members of his race: The colored race is now passing through a great crisis. The Bee counsels all of the wisdom of keeping a still tongue and a wise head. Let us look to the morrow, remembering that He who notes the sparrow's fall will not suffer us to be lost. This week's press reports brought us news that almost bears down strongest hearts, but the future is bright. Just at this time, let us content ourselves with burying the thirteen troopers, not praise them. God is the final judge and time works wonders. Let us keep a still tongue and a wise head --- New York Newspaper Says North Will Always Allow Negroes to Be Counted for Representation Purposes While Denying The Votes at the Polls. New York, NY. Y. Jam. 3.—The New York Times said, by people to be the most influential black America, in commenting upon the recent vote in Congress upon the Prohibition Issue, says: It is deplorable that a controversy sure to be bitter in all States not inevitably Dry, should be authorized by Congress when the united thought and energy of the country should be concentrated on the supreme duty, as yet all too lightly realized, in the federal prohibition should be proposed when half the States have prohibition by their own acts, when every strengthening by Congress of the rigidity of State prohibition is sustained by the Supreme Court, when either the waving or the assertion of the Federal power over interstate commerce is used to uphold and bulwark State prohibition, when the President himself has the power of prohibition and regulation during the war..... Speak of the interest of the Southern prohibitionist is on account of the Negroes. Why does the South want to force prohibition upon the whites of the North? Are States rights dead as a doorknell in their ancient home? Even if they are, it is not wise to look to the future? The Republican may come into power some day. Is it likely that they will be unilateral to the nullification of constitutional amendments born of the war, with the full representation in the House of a South where, as a rule, Negroes cannot vote? Will the South be allowed to count its black population for representation purposes, not to let them be counted at the polls? MRS. ROSA WILSON RED IN CITY.

Before the atmosphere is clear of one crime, the shocking news is spread broadcast of the burning of another human being "in a lot adjoining the public square." Is there no law in Tennessee for the prosecution of cruelty to animals? Or is the being that was burned not an animal? Had he been a horse, the Association for the prevention of cruelty to animals would have taken the matter up and punished those participating. Has parts of Tennessee retrograded to a criminal and savagery? Should we send Missionaries to China, Africa and the South Sea Isles, when parts of our own country are farther in savagery than those whom we wish to civilize? O "Civilized" America awake and clean thy blood-stained hands. The mob of 8000 persons who burned Lation Scott at stake on Dec. 3rd at Dyersburg, Tenn., might serve their country on the fireline in Europe. If Lation Scott confessed to the crime he was charged with, the laws of the State would have executed him; then what need of people taking the law in their hands? One thing certain, such violent outbreaks act as boomerangs and return home from whence they come, and those same people will today lynch a white man—Natchez Reporter. NOTICE. Mrs. P. R.

We had a wonderful watch meeting service Monday night and entered into the New Year with praises and rejoicing by each and every one. The Lord has been so good and kind to the St. John Baptist Church and members in the past year, 1917, that we are, by His divine help, going to come together in the ensuing year, 1918, and do some wonderful things for the upbuilding of his cause, for last year he gave to us our loving and worthy pastor, Rev. W. H. Whittaker, who is trying to do things that have never been attempted to be done before. On the third Sunday in this month, January 20th, we are going to have what will be known as the Returning Host of the Lord Rally all day, and we hope to have a grand time that day. Dr. C. H.

West Nashville. The members of this wideawake church, led by their faithful class-leaders, seeing the bad condition of the weather, which keeps many of the members indoors, put on a small Christmas rally for the pastor, Rev. J. K. Childress. The rally was to be kept a secret from the pastor. It was dated for Sunday, December 30th. The ground was covered with snow, but the members and friends, who come along to protest it and some laid on the table quarters and others a dollar, ties, handkerchiefs, soaks and a shoulder of meat. This was planned by the leaders and the pastor knew nothing of the plan until it had circulated among the members. St. Luke needs no big stick to make her members work. We know that he is a kind pastor who is loved by both saints and sinners. The children all love and admire him. You are invited to come and see us. Rev. J. K. Childress, Pastor.

Of the numerous and variegated diversions had during the Christmas holidays, it is known that none surpassed and believed that only few equalled the entertainment given the church "Aid" by Rev. and Mrs. Sam Bryant at their home, 217 17th avenue, North. Friday evening, December 25th. Having known Rev. Bryant's disposition toward the Aid for previous entertainment events, he was on hand long before the opening hour on for the transaction of business. The meeting was called to order and presided over by the president, Sister Selma Jarrett. The regular routine of business was had. The program consisted of welcome address by Mrs. Sam Bryant; solo, Mr. Hannibal Jones; duet, Mesdames John L. Cheatham, Jr., and Condon Marsh; a few songs led by Mrs. Sam Bryant; talk by vice president, Mrs. Raudolph, and a full demonstration of the Yuletide spirit. A motion was introduced by Mrs. John L. Cheatham, Jr., and carried that a dollar each be appropriated for the needs of three aged sister members. A new office was created, distress of program, and Mrs. Sue Gammon was appointed to fill the same. Mr. Clarence N. Perkins addressed the meeting and took for a theme, "Conservation." Among the many things he clearly demonstrated the necessity of the abolishment of the use of food-stuffs in entertaining. After his talk it was seen that the concensus was: "No more food-stuffs for entertainments." It is now possible for the humblest member to receive and entertain the Aid. After all this collection was taken, verses said, a very palatable seven course menu was served and adjournment of Mrs. Gattianpour, of Mrs. Gattianpour, Friday evening Jan. 11th, 1918.

The Negro's debt of gratitude We are going to reverse; The writer on such subjects Should ride smoothly in a hearse. He has no one to look to Except his Caucasian friend; When needed or in trouble, A helping hand they should lend. The Negro is always thankful For donations from white friends. As to loyalty and patriotism, He certainly has always been. The Negro is responsible For most white people's success; Then when he makes an effort Why shouldn't the white man do the rest? The real white men of today Believe in helping the Negro out. For which we praise and thank them. Yet they rather we would keep our mouth. The Negro's debt of gratitude for 1917.

If a man's ambition for praises And really wants some fame, He should make success in life That would add history to his name. One should never be conceited; And may always write the truth; For seeking fae through daily pa- peres He might be traced back to Youth. Our debt of gratitude for Jesus. The only one we wee— He died for our redemption; The Cross on Calvary He bore. The Negro race does humble To most races of this world; 'Tis because they have no privilege. And are taught that when boys and girls. When the whites help educate us, In a way they help themselves; Fitting us for different positions. Enlightened servants they like best. A Negro without some white friend, In this world is almost lost; When in trouble or discomfort, To degradation he is tossed. The white man needs the Negro, From every point of view; One hardly exists without the other; They need each other, that's true. The Negro's debt of gratitude, In my estimation has been paid; He has worked hard from the begin- ning; Many fortunes for others he has made.

JONES CALLED TO SHELBYVILLE Long distance telephone message summoned Dr. J. A. Jones to Shelbyville New Year's day to attend the funeral services of Miss Laura Dwiggins of that town.

It was at once agreed that a celebration would be held in the chapel the usual lunch hour. Every employee would stop. There would be special music, plantation melodies and it addresses made for the occasion and their families and friends would be invited for the occasion.

And this year the plant was veritably prepared, the selected and the caterer was to make the spread" at the time.

At the meeting when this was being discussed patriotic speeches were made and finally the venerable secretary of the Board, who has held the annual dinner so near and dear as a part of the curriculum of the institution, yielded to the pressure. The people reported for work as usual on New York. They worked on through the chapel house and at noon, when the bell sounded, they went a way to the chapel services, which were opened at once. The entire force under the leadership of the chorister sang, "America." The very singing and the department of the employees denoted the patriotism of the occasion. Prayer was offered and then another song, after which the Rev. Dr. Boyd was introduced and gave a minute history of the beginning of the New Year's dinner. While he expressed sadness they were not seated around or standing around the table, he expressed joy that there should be enough forethought on the part of all to remember those in the trenches and those in the camps. "I want to congratulate you upon this voluntary action and while our board has already been sending a deal of literature, I can go to them with a thorough guarantee of your cooperation when I tell them of your own free will and accord have volunteered to request that the money that would be spent today in entertaining you be converted into literature sufficient to distribute among the soldiers. It will be rated and will go down in history as one of the best investments you as a people have ever made. The president of our convention, the members of the Sunday school forces throughout the country and the people as a whole, I feel sure, will grant you first place among the patriotic citizens for this noble act. Whether you eat your dinner or whether you give it away was yours to do. But since you have given it away and given it for a righteous cause, then you become a regular missionary," declared the secretary among other things. Following this the Rev. G. W. Doodbey was called and delivered a strong address, telling of the accomplishments of the race and the denomination. He vowed by the Bible that the Ethiopian man had become careless in his religion and that the would be the loser because of this carelessness. Then Rev. Dr. Harding, a student of the Tennessee Baptist State Convention was introduced and spoke so that the entire time that had been usually taken for this festive occasion was consumed, the usual amount of oratory heard, in fact the entire sit- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY JANUARY 4, 1918 "Child Evangelism is the need of the hour. Every Member Out of Every Family in some Sunday School is the first aim of the Sunday School Congress Forces" ting was on the usual order, minus the turkey and the cranberries, which are to be replaced by a substantial Bible or some other literature into the hands of the soldier boys. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 1.—Inspired by patriotic motive, the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board decided to forge their turkey and to ask the venerable Dr. Boyd, the Secretary of the Publishing Board, to give the money that he usually appropriates for the New Year's dinner to the boys in the camps. For twenty years Dr. and Mrs. Bred, together with the members of the Publishing Board, have given the annual New Year's dinner to the hundred's employees of the plant. It has been estimated that approximately five hundred dollars have been expended by Dr. Boyd and his wife for this annual occasion. It has gone on so long that only about two of the list of employees out of the one hundred and fifty on the pay roll can recall when it did not exist. Every preparation had been made a turkey menu selected, the caterer agreed upon, the silver-ware, china ware and the linens had been ordered, but on last Saturday the employees held a meeting in the chapel. It was a patriotic meeting, and Miss E. K. King, who is at the head of the Reading Department, offered a reception that "since our boys are in need of a religious literature, and since the Publishing Board is leading all others in supplying of this literature, that we employees, join in with the movement, sacrificing our New Year's dinner in order that the cost of the same might be converted into suitable Bibles, song books and Sunday school helps." When this resolution was offered, a number of speeches were made by the foremen of the heads of the various departments, including Thomas of the Composing Room; L. S. Franklin of the Press Room; L. S. Gray of the Book Binding Department; Landers of the Mailing Department; G. Phinnae Baker of the Second Class Mailing Department; Dr. W. S. Ellington, the Editorial Secretary, W. Cheers and others. When Dr. Boyd was apprised of the action he was overcome with emotion and readily consented. So on New Year's Day instead of gathering around the festive board, they gathered in the chapel, held their usual meeting, sang patriotic songs, listened to three set speeches and took the balance of the day in the observance of Emancipation.

It has just come to the ears of the Globe that a few weeks ago Dr. W.

He is a truthful honest and upright in all his dealings; with men; there is no guile in him; broad-minded and loyal to friend, country, church and every good cause, irrespective to race or color.

New duties will be placed upon our women through the Amendment of the Constitution, which will doubtless become a law at the coming session of Congress.

In this war the Negro is not only fighting for himself but for the proud --- white, American, who has more at stake than he has. While the Negro has his life, loved ones and a little property, the white man has all of this and much more, in most instances he has all of this world's goods, except that little the Negro has been able to get from him in these fifty years. It appears to us that in all cases of fairness, the Negro has ever remained loyal and will ever remain so from an inherent inclination to do so. The white man ought to give him a square deal when it comes to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in this country.—Galveston New Idea. KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS O TABOR.
