VOLUME XIII. TWO T Negro Man Prot Gov. Tom C. R Colored Sp A Man's METHODISTS HOLD THREE MEETINGS The tri-councils were opened with Bishop G. W. Clinton, presiding, and the opening sermon was preached by Bishop L. H. Holsley, of the A. M. E. Church, Bishop John Hurst, L. W. Kyles, N. C. Cleaves, were elected secretaries, and Charles Stewart, official reporter. After Holy Communion and the introduction of the general officers and representatives of the three churches a recess was had. In the afternoon, there was a lively business, announcement and addresses were delivered by representatives of the M. E. church south, and Methodist Episcopal church. This meeting was harmonious and full of enthusiasm. The feature of the session Saturday was the report of a committee on address to the country, setting forth the position of the colored Bishops on the things which concern the nation today. This document was manly, yet conservative. Each of the councils held separate meetings during the week. The question of the location of the next session of the M. E. church conference 1920 claimed the attention of a commission appointed for that purpose. After a lively contest between Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn. St. Louis was elected. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D., one of the most eloquent preachers in the country preached the opening sermon. Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Kansas called attention to the treatment of the Negro in this country, and urged that the race look to the president of the Nation, who had more power today than any living man in the world, and with one stroke of his pen, could wipe out Jim Crowism, discrimination on the common carriers just as Abraham Lincoln wiped out slavery. "Today," said Dr. Ransom, "all he needs is to speak and the thing is done, it matters not what it is. We have given him this power." Bishop C. S. Smith, of Detroit, Mich., delivers an address on "Democracy and Mobocracy." He was given an ovation. Special attention was given to the educational mass meeting. Bishop W. D. Chappelle, presided, and addresses were delivered by Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education, Waco, Texas; Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr. Editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, and A. J. Carey, D. D., of Chicago, Ill. BRANSFORD HIGH SCHOOL SOON TO HAVE SERVICE FLAG. Springfield, Tenn. Special to the Globe: Bransford School will soon have a Service Flag with seven or more stars. Quite a number of our boys have passed the physical examination and received their notices. It will be quite an honor to have so many boys from a small school like Bransford. Among the boys will be Dallas Sweeney, who is our best base ball pitcher and he will be a great loss to the team of 1918, if he goes before the season is out. NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. Eloquent, logical and patriotic were the presentations made to His Excellency, Governor Thomas C. Rye, in the legislative chamber at the State Capitol at twelve-thirty o'clock Wednesday by the committee of about two thousand of Nashville's most intelligent, law-abiding and industrious citizens. No greater demonstration has ever been made as far as can be traced from the records of the state by the Negroes of the Volunteer State. The committee of the state has been building at the corner of Cedar and Fourth avenue and heard the reports of the special committee that had been sent to Estill Springs to bring back the facts first-handed. While the names of the committee had not been divulged, they brought full reports of the acts that are said to have agravated and led up to the killing of the two white men and the wounding of a third one by Millberon. After the reports had been read, three addresses and appeals were indorsed to be presented to the Governor of the State, calling upon and appealing to him to bring a cessation of such outrages against the state, and to Tennessee. A parade was formed men four abreast and they took up the line of march to Capitol Hill, a distance of three blocks. When the front of the parade was going into the capitol gate, the men were still coming out of the Y. M. C. A. Building. By special appointment the Governor and some of the state officials Governor of the State of Tennessee, his excellence, the Governor, who was appealed to by more than two thousand Negro citizens and voters on Wednesday at the Tennessee State Capitol. were waiting and they immediately marched to the Legislative Hall. Upon their arrival, they completely filled the hall, room being made, however, for the Governor who was soon ushered in and took his place near the speaker's stand. The delegation was made up of men representing every walk of life, the hod carrier who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow; the artisan from the various labor industries; the school teacher from the school room; the minister of the gospel from the pulpit; the physician from the bedside of the sick; the lawyer from the merchant from the commercial banker from the bank—every avocation pursued the Negro of this city made up the parade that marched silently up Capitol Hill, into the presence of the Chief Executive of Tennessee. When the Governor entered he was applauded, and after a few moments, Mr. J. C. Napier, ex-register of the United States Treasury, who is a native Tennessee and who has labored in the city of Nashville for more than fifty years, who has been identified with every branch of public service, having served some number of years ago as a member of the city of Nashville, known throughout the United States as the exponent of the rights and justices of the people, address His Excellency, the Governor, and said: DELIVERED BY HON. J. C. NAPIER ON BEHALF OF MARY THE CITIZENS. Gov. T. C. Rye, The Capitol, Nashville, Tenn.: The right of petition is guaranteed to all citizens of our country by the NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1918. constitution of the United States. The right of trial by an impartial jury of the State is vouchsafed to every defendant, every person charged with a crime before he can be legally subjected to punishment for any infraction of law with which he may be charged. These provisions are the bulwark of our liberty. They are the ground upon which we base all our security of life, liberty and property; nor' can he be deprived of these without due process of law, in the organic law of the land. We must be secure for the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated. We feel that these fundamental principles of the laws of our land, in letter and in spirit, have recently been grossly and flagrantly, violated. We believe that there is a remedy for all these evil. Under this right of petition we have come to you, Governor Rye, to ask that you set in motion all the legal and judicial machinery of our State Government with a view of putting an end, for all time, to come, to such inhuman, illegal and cruel practices as have been recently perpetrated upon men of our race in this State. Mob violence for the punishment of Negroes, in this State, charged with crimes and misdeeds of an older or smaller degree, has become of such frequent occurrence as to create alarm to the minds of all of us and to give the warning that no member of our race is safe when such charge, justly or unjustly, is lodged against him. We hope that there are laws already on our statute books to remedy these wrongs and we trust that men may be found who will bring them out from the dusty files that they may be put into execution and forever put an end to the work of mob which is constantly bringing dishonor and disgrace on our State and upon our Christian civilization. We come to you on a mission of peace and good will, in an effort to save the innocent; but in no sense to protect or shield the guilty from that punishment meted out by the law, and to suffer whatever penalty the people and the law have prescribed for his or their offense. The black man in this State is the most unprotected being that breathes the breath of life. The fish in the waters are protected; the birds of the air are shielded; your horse and your cow are cared for by statute and one no dares mistreat or abuse them, lest the game laws, or the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or the human commission will be after him, if either of these were purposefully burned to death in a public place it would arouse such horror and indignation in the minds of the people as that the immediate' punishment of the offender would be demanded and he would be forced to pay the penalty that' the law prescribed. Yet, public announcement may be made that a human being is to be burned; he is burned and no law can be found to punish the men who burn him. And here the question arises: What are we to expect; to what destiny are we to look forward? How soon may the same fate overtake some of us who have lived peaceable, long and orderly lives in our communities. About two years ago it was in Fayette County, eight months ago in Shelby County four months ago in Dyer County, week ago in Franklin County. This spirit is allowed to stalk abroad unnotested, who can tell how soon it may reach Davidson County? We are glad to see that all classes of our good people in this State are aroused to a sense of the enormity of the mob conditions that encompass us. We are grateful to the noble men, the kindly women, the courageous press of Tennessee, who have taken up his cause and are moulded into a future true run will render a future repetition of these deplorable occurrences impossible. Governor Rye, we do not expect any one to perform impossibilities, but we think we see in this crisis an opportunity for you to throw yourself in the breach and render the people of this State, and the cause of humanity a service that will forever endear you to them and in the years to come cause all their progeny to rise up and call your name and your identity. The seriousness of the situation is sufficiently grave to set every law-abiding citizen to work in the Continued on Page 8. ) ALABAMA SCHOOLS ADDRESSED BAPTISTS HAVE BIG DEMONSTRATION—FRONT LINE SUNDAY SCHOOLS DISCUSSED BY SECRETARY. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 19.—Not since the Sunday School Congress met in this city has so much enthusiasm in Sunday school work been witnessed as was shown when last Sunday and Monday when the Rev. A. A. Bood, the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress forces from Nashville, Tenn., took charge of Greater Birmingham, including Beesemer. Arrangements for his coming had been perfected, by a committee consisting of Revs. T. J. James, D. D., of Bessemer, Ala.; J. H. Kelly, D. D, and J. M. Magwood. HON J. C. NAPIER. Ex-Register of the U. S. Treasurer who spoke representing the 2000 voters before Governor Rye. D. D., of this city, who are strong Sunday School Congress workers. The Sunday School Committee secretary arrived Sunday morning at 9:30 at the Sunday school hour. He was greeted by a magnificent audience at the Bethlehem Baptist Church of which the Rev. M. Sears is the pastor and Mr. M. Prince is the Sunday school superintendent. The house was crowded with Sunday school children, who gave him a demonstration such as North Birmingham has not witnessed. Mr. George Dobbs and Miss Sadie Downing, two leaders in the Sunday school, helped to make the occasion successful. At 10 o'clock he was the guest of the Hope Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Pearson and D. pastor. The Rev. Pearson is registered with stalwart leaders in Alabama. For a number of years he has been treasurer of the State Sunday School Convention, and has a magnificent church of red pressed brick with Cathedral glass windows, up-to-date pews; in fact, a fifty thousand dollar church edifice, the result of his own labor. It was at this church that the Congress Secretary delivered an inspiring sermon to an audience that was credible for the occasion. The entire morning service hour was set apart to him, and the Rev. Dr. Pearson with his entire membership gave way and gave place to the world. At the conclusion of his sermon delivered by the Rev. Mr. Bord Rev. Pearson insisted upon having his membership know of the work of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville. This occasion a second address, which was readily made by the Congress Secretary. Upon leaving New Hope he was accompanied by a special committee to Bessmer, where he was met by the Rev. Mr. James and his reception committee. He was at once taken to the Community Hall, where the Citizen's League was in session and where he was the guest of honor. It was a Lincoln-Douglas Celebration. After the celebration he was given an honorary dinner at the superintendent's home, presided over by Mrs. May Reese Johnson. Then at 8 o'clock under a special REV. J. H. GRANT, Pastor Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, who spoke representing the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance.

Special attention was shown what is sometimes termed as "The little weekly" by the recommendations presented through the executive committee for their support and encouragement. The association proper began its session Friday morning, the 19th edition of the Philadelphia Tribune, called the 1918 annual session together by asking the Rev. Dr. Ellington, editorial secretary and a member of long standing of the association, to invoke the divine blessings. The report of the executive committee from the Chattanooga session and from the meeting the day previous, was presented and the items for consideration taken up. Existing among the things that transpired was the patriotic spirit shown by the representatives of the press in their great desire to have the periodicals composing the association throw their strength and support to the government.

Among them will be the sending of a Negro war correspondent to the war zone to report first-hand information concerning the work of the Negro troops somewhere in France. The expense of this correspondent is to be prorated between the Negro newspapers who will use their own code service in cabling messages to the United States, after which it will be re-transmitted through the special reciprocal news service. The proposed monument for Negro soldiers and sailors under House bill 7914 was indorsed, and also the appointment of Emmett J. Scott by President Woodrow Wilson as special assistant to the War Department. TO SYNDICATE NEWS ON WORLD DEMOCRACY.

A resolution was also passed condemning the action of the Republican Executive Committee at St. Louis for its failure to seat Perry W. Howard as member of the Nation Republican Committee after the facts had been shown he was elected by a majority in his state.

Inspiring addresses were made to the newspaper men by J. C. Napler. ARADE. Press Adjourned Instructive Work ed--Officers Year. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE AT "Y" CAPTAINS GETTING BUSY—ENTHUSIASTIC OVER OUTLOOK—URGENT LETTER SENT OUT BY LEADERS. The following is a letter sent out by the captains of the teams in the "Y" Membership Drive: Mr. Young Man: Do we realize that $75,000 in the form of a Y. M. C. A. building with the endorsement and backing of leading business and professional men, is for the first time, in the history of a southern city, placed at the disposal of Negro men and boys? Do we realize further, that the men who have done most to make this condition possible now insist that it is up to us to prove the true status of our sense of appreciation? Do we not further realize, that many of the small, but most generous contributions, have been made by men whose home comforts are in no sense as satisfactory as those enjoyed by the fellows who live in the Association building? Do we know still further, that these men, despite the stringent times which the awful war has brought upon us, are most profuse in their praise for the good account which their donations have been put to? Fellows, what difference does it make whether we go to the training camp one week from now or one year from tomorrow? The paid in full Association membership ticket will serve to us good advantage both here and there. If we need Association privileges at home, we will need them more away from home—in the camps. If it serves our needs for 50 per cent less than cost at home, it will do as much away from home—in the camps or on the front—at 100 per cent less than cost to us. Come across and join the "Y" before you go across and leave the "Y". At any rate, it is a national requirement that we "REDUCE EXPENDITURES TO A MINIMUM". Right now is the best time to begin. We truly, ours truly. Division 2—Wm D. Avent, Leader; W. P. Hightower, Jr.; W. Jordain Stockard, T. M. Matthews, A. R Stockard, J. W. M. Springer, W. D. Price, Theoredo B. Garrett, Ben J. January.

The workers met Friday night and made reports which were in a measure gratifying. It is predicted that before Mar. 12, the 500 membership goal will be reached. The workers are manifesting a fine spirit. The response with which they are meeting is encouraging. A. PRAKER. O, Lord, wilt 'tru please save us, From the hands of southern whites; Where the law allows them to lynch us, Their pleasures are taking our life. I pray Thee, O blessed Redeemer, ors' hearts; Thou wilt touch Southern Govern- And put a stop to inhuman treatment That oftimes falls the Negro's lot. Wilt thou, O Lord, hear my prayer, And grant to us what is due? One must reap whatever he sowth, Your Word, and I know 'tis true. Save us, O blessed Lamb of God. From the hands of a mighty fate; Put justice in reaching distance, Where all mankind may partake. Look down on earth and bless us. From such fate, please set us free. Now, please forgive white preachers. Who fail to condemn lynchers in their stands: Drs. J. A. McMillan, J. T. Phillips, Mc. T. Williams, C. V. Roman, W. W. Williams, J. W. Whitfield and Geo. W.

"I was in bad shape when I started on this medicine, but I soon found that I was getting better, and now the cold and cough are both entirely gone. I am feeling fine, and can say without any hesitancy that Lung-Vita has no equal as a remedy for coughs and colds." Asthma is relieved quickly with Lung-Vita. Usually the first dose or two gives relief and the first bottle cures. Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.) GIRLS—LADIES.

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 what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural strength of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To set best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap is very freely. It leaves the hair soft and and it provides a refreshing thing to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinadoa, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail it. Write to New York City Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper—Ady. Funeral Directors and Embalmers.

Johnny's Excuse: A little girl brought a note to her school teacher one morning, which read as follows: "Dear teacher, please excuse Johnny for not coming to school today. He is dead." Johnny was excused. We are all in sympathy with both the little girl and Johnny, but do you think it was necessary to write that excuse? Then what think ye of a man going to the court house and paid his county taxes to the wrong man who wrote him a receipt, stating what he did? The receipt was folded and given to the thoughtless colored man, who failed to read it but carried it immediately home and put it away. Two weeks hence when the real tax collector came to his house and told him that penalty would be on in a few days if he didn't pay his taxes at once, replying that he had paid his taxes the receipt as mandated with the tax was received and handed to the tax collector, who said, "Why, fellow, this is no receipt this is only a stated fact." "Oh yes," replied the color man; "I paid my taxes and this receipt was me." "How much did you pay, asked the tax collector "Ten dollars," was a speedy reply. "Did you read your receipt?" "No." "Well, do you care to read it now?" giving it to the colored man who read it as follows: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so I have lifted ten dollars out of this nigger's pocket." He scratched his head and said: "I shall read my receipts hereafter." A Club Women: The barkeeper said: "Pat, your wife's waiting for you outside." Pat, "Is she alone?" Barkeeper: "No, she has a club in her hand for to knock you over in the promised land." Pat, made his escape through the alley. This serves as an illustration of the fact that the hands that rocks the rules the world. My耐心 McClellan of faces. Ten., a former schoolmate of your reporter and one who is conscientious in earnest remarks, sent a quotation to one of her staunch friends who is a customer of ours that we may of fer an explanation that would be both consoling and inspiring.

With the genfus for definition that 4s not the least of the byproducts of var, the Britist soldier long ago named the moment of the order to go over the top “zero hour.” Long be- fore that moment came he was noti- fied of it;'and he waited through the night, ordinarily, for the hands of his illuminated watch to reach — the hour.” When they did that, the tumult of artillery gave place o a hush, The whistles of sergeants were heard. ‘The artillery, lifted to some line farther in the rear, opened again. And Tommy charged, ‘There is fatalism, a little of the leynte, considerable humor and uniim- {ted human philosophy in the term that Tommy devised. Perhaps the placing of a cipher by some general at the sign of the hour he had chosen gave riso to the expression. Perhaps ‘a nervous trench Jest, turning on the chill of fear, was responsible. But ‘with quick aptitude, whatever the occasion, Tommy seized It. And the hour of supreme test, the hour of cool facing of grave and underterm- Inable things, became the zero hour. But zero hours existed long before they were named, And they exist in all walks of life as well as in the trenches. The body has its zero hours, and so does*the mind. ‘The oul has many of them. It is zero hour for the stricken man who is carried to a hospital opera- ting room, though he be thousands of miles from war, It 1s zero hour tor tho criminal about whom the prison walls close, or for whom the sudden fling into eternity ts prepared. When anxieties and perplexities come to a focus and compell an irrevocable de- cision, that {s zero hour for the mind, and the depression that is felt and the courage that is sometimes required are not to be thought of lightly. And there are moral tests, too, when the man or woman, the boy or girl, must choose, perhaps for all time, one way or another to walk in, It is zero hour then, too. After all there {s an advantage in the zero hour that comes with full forewarning, as it comes to the boy in the trenches, over the zero. hour that strikes with more or less sud- donness, and by surprise, Courage alone will meet the one test mantike, but much more than courage is re- quired when the unanticipated be- falls No matter what success you have met in life, the chances are that your own inner satisfactions of great re- greta, are founded on the way you have met your zero hours.

A chorus of praise for this red blooded American. A chorus of regret—and this was very marked— that no place could be found for his energies, his gifts, his great influence; that, because his nt- terance was forthright, it was sought to keep him silent; that because— first among prominent Americans— he had raised his voice for prepared- ‘ness and ‘the vindication of the law, the defense of America’s rights, he ‘must sulfer from a campaign of de- traction Democratic speakers and Demo- ‘cratic. newspapers have assailed Roosevelt as ‘a man on horseback,” ‘a “marplot,”" a “firebrand,” a fo- menter of trouble.” The president, himself has given us to understand that he was “dangerous, passionate and ambitious.” ‘They see more clearly now. ‘They pereeive that, precisely as Cleveland's stand against European aggression in Venezuela made his administration memorable, so, likewise, under Roosevelt—the “irresponsible and warlike” Roosevelt—Ameriean di- plomacy reached its highest and most useful manifestation.

LUCY CURTIS. Mrs. Lucy Curtus Harris Moore was born August 5, 1900, departed this life Jan. 18, 1918, at 12 o'clock p. m. Her age was 17 years, 5 months and 14 days. She was married to Mr. Eldridge Moore of Flenning, Ky. July 18, 1917, in which she made her home. He departed this life August 30, 1917, living to survive her only one month and 18 days. There was one child born two days old at the time of her death. She was a sweet, obedient, mild and loving child. She always had a smile on her face and a kind and pleasant word for home and all who knew her. She loved and was loved by all who knew her. She was a devoted daughter and a loving granddaughter. She was always a little bright sunbeam in her home; she was a little flower just begun to sprout. She always tried to cheer her mother, grandmother, aunts, uncle, relatives and friends and playmates as she grew up in wisdom and knowledge and would always speak of her willing mind to become useful and to family. She had often told her and grandmother that if she lived to be grown she wanted the Lord to let her be useful in His works and calls and to take care of them in their older days. She professed hope in Christ three years ago under Rev. Dr. Smith in Columbia. She then often spoke of her mother being a sinner and also to her and her uncle and asked that all of the Christians pray for them as she was on her way to heaven. She wanted to see them fighting for it also. At the time of her death she was at Flemings, Ky., although she kept her eye, upon the bright and morning star. She had often said when the Lord called her not to say she was dead, but had fallen asleep in Jesus. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. She was a student of Hadly School and a devoted Sunday school scholar then living in Nashville. Since it has pleased the Almighty God to come in our midst it behooves us to bow our heads in grief and our hearts in sorrow and say— Ye mourning saints whose streaming tears Flow over your little one that's dead: Say not in transport of despair That all your hope is fled. Though your young branch is torn away, Like withered trunks ye stand; With fairer verdue shall ye bloom, Touched by the Almighty hand. I'll give ye mourning saints, saith the Lord, In my own house a place; No names of daughters or of sons Could yield so high a grace. Transient and vain in every hope, A rising place can give; In endless land and delight My children all shall live We welcome, Lord, those rising tears Through which thy face we see; And bless those wounds which Her words the happy parents hear And shout with joy divine; Oh, Saviour! all we have We pray that it is Thine. She leaves to mourn their loss a mother, father, grandmother, four units, an uncle and a host of relatives and friends. Mother, you have lost a loving and devoted child and also a little flower who always will be remembered. Grandmother, you have lost a bright little gem who will always press your heart and remembrance. Anunts and uncles, you have lost one that you never will forget. It is our loss and heaven's gain. It is a long warning and a loud calling to the unprepared and to the prepared to fight on. Some day they will meet her in the great beyond never to part again. Her mother and mother being sinners, she asks the people to pray for them that they may become Christians and meet her. May we all bow our heads in solemn prayer for the bereaved family in their lonely hours and distress and pray for her uncle and mother, pray for her uncle and mother who has been fighting for the kingdom so long that she may grow stronger in her older days and that she may fight on until the Lord says thou hast done enough thou faithful servants, well done. Though hast done enough. Cgme up higher. The funeral was attended by Rev Stovall of Capers Chapel and Rev Lee, pastor of Fifth Avenue Church. BROWNSVILLE. The Blue Ribbon Club of which Mr. J. W.

He fought hard against pneumonia's thrusts for two weeks. On January 29th, during the early morning, he was called to the higher life. His remains were interred here the following Monday, the Rev. M. E. M. Bearden officiating. There was an annual present. Clifford was a splendid young man, a dutiful son and an excellent scholar. We heartily sympathize with his dear and most faithful mother and with the entire family in their hour of deepest gloom. The many letters received portray the high esteem in which Clifford was held. W. S. S. CAMPAIGN MEETING. On Thursday night at Carnegie Library there was held an interesting meeting of the W. S. S. Campaign Committee. These people had been called together pursuant to a call issued by Chairman Johnson to devise the best ways and means to make the meeting a success. An interesting feature of the meeting were short addresses made by Mr. W. N. Sanders, Secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A., Rev. Brumfield, pastor of the Congregational Church, Mr. C. N. Langston Cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, Mrs. Susie Carter and others. The arrangements for a mass meeting were put into the hands of a committee composed of Dr. Coleman, Mr. Langston, Dr. Roewaite and Mrs. Carter. The first meeting was the first meeting will be called wherever it is convenient to reach the people. Mr. C. N. Langston Cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, explained the stamps and cards in detail and it was due to this simple explanation that many who did not understand before were able to go away enlightened enough to be able to help others understand. Mr. Johnson the chairman, emphasized the fact that the government must have this money and the very best thing for all合谋 that have been offered. He reiterated that he was firmly convinced that the government was going to have this money and terms made under force are always undesirable. Every man woman and child is urged to be present at these mass meetings for instructions after which they will be asked to subscribe any amount they can afford to this great fund. President W. J. Hale of the A. and I. State Normal was present and spoke feelingly of the part played and yet to be played by the colored people in the great battle for the good of humanity now being waged. Those who heard him were deeply impressed with the logic of his conclusions and the depth of his insight into the problems confronting the colored peoples of the day. President Hale has been selected to travel throughout the state in the interest of the W. S. S. Campaign. PARENT-TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION. Below is a copy of the petition sent the Board of Education by the parent-Teacher's Association of Pearl High and Grammar School. Everybody knows that the old Knowles School building is wholly unit for use. It has outlived its usefulness and ought now to be torn down. The lives of our children both from the fact of its condensed condition of structure, also from unsanitary conditions. We live in an age now when our children are not used to such unsanitary buildings, and it is no wonder that the death rate among our children is alarming. Visit the Negro schools, especially those (if there is another) like the old knowles building. Notice the poor ventilation, poor lighting, the dirty walls and floors, all of which make the building unit for use. The petition is sent with a hope that the board of Education will take some steps to better this condition. The present new building is not large enough to accommodate both schools. We want to site where this well now stands, we feel sure our children be comfortably housed. It the patrons and parents of the children of Pearl high and Grammar School would only get together, we are sure we could do some good along this line. "Unity there is strength;" this old saying has come all down 'the ages and is as true today as in old times. Let us as an Association get together on this matter. Meet us at Pearl High and Grammar School Friday afternoon, Feb. 22, 1918, at 2:30 o'clock in the auditorium of the school. Nashville, Teen., February, 1918. Gentleman: We, as members of the Parent-Teacher's Association and patrons of the Pearl High and Grammar School, wish to call your attention to the fact that we are very much alarmed at the present system of this school. We know that there are other petitions before you, but we feel that you will do justice in your decision, especially when human lives are at stake. The present old Knowles School building is dangerous to occupy, and it is injurious for the children to have to go back and forth from one school building to the other for classes in rain, snow; in fact, all kinds of weather. You can readily see that this present system is injurious to their health. We feel that you will consider the matter, is why we have come to you. You will agree with us that there is not another school building in use in Nashville in such condition as this old building. You will agree with us that the whole building is unsanitary. We pray that you will consider giving us another wing to the present beautiful building of said site, and equip it for use. We wish also to call attention to the finishing up of the present lunch room, which we stand greatly in need of. Thanking you in advance for these favors, we are. PARENT-TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION OF PEARL HIGH AND GRAMMAR SCHOOL The ParentTeachers' Association of the Pearl High and Grammar Schools will meet Friday afternoon, Feb. 22, 1918, at 1:30 p.m. We take this method of inviting every one who may attend, and we urge the members to be present as business of importance will come up at this meeting. There will also be a victrola recessal. The new victrola to be purchased by the school for use in the auditorium of the school.

Mrs. Kinzer is delighted with St. Louis, especially with the housing and sanitary problems as they have been solved relative to the colord population of the city, however she still thinks that there is no place like home especially if that home is in Nashville. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY The close students of the times and condition of affairs will readily admit upon a sober reflection, that domestic art should have at all times a place if possible in our institutions. Moved by this impulse, President Townsend, has at Roger Williams University a department of domestic are, which is doing splendid work. The success of this department and its recent new progress, is due Mrs. S. M. White, under whose management much favorable comment has been made upon it by recent northern visitors. The success of any department depends much upon its supervisor. Mrs. White is a westerner by birth, well educated, refined, although she is accomplished in domestic art, she is equally proficient in the literary work for versatility and aggressiveness seen to attend her work. She is a lady of rich experience, for over 16 years she has successfully followed her professions of sewing and fabricating of these years being spent in the southland.

One of the most interesting meetings held by the Metokas and Galdea Classes of the Taternacle Baptist Church was held Thursday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams. At 8:15 the president of the Galdea Class called the meeting to order by singling "Nearer my God to Thee," led by Mrs. A. L. Williams. Scripture reading by the president of the Galdea class, the 3rd chapter of Exodus. Prayer by the president of the Metokas. Miss Katie Walker, president of the Galdea class, in a brief talk, made known that the object of the meeting was to arrange the oratorical contest which will be held between the two classes some time in the near future. Also Mr. Williams, president of the Metoka class, encouraged the members of his class to bestir themselves to the sense of their duty. The presiding president called on each member and all pledged to do more in the future than they had done in the past. A splendid program was rendered. The president of the Galdea class presented to each member that had been successful in bringing a new member with a souvenir of a white bow of ribbon. Those receiving the bow were Mrs. Williams, chairman of social committee; Miss Mattie Murphy, missionary; Miss Mattie Spann, now member added to Galdea class; Miss Madgenele Priest. The president said in part that this was only a small beginning, but that the oak that towers above the surrounding forest has a small beginning; that the race was not given to the swift nor to the strong, but to him that endureth to the end. She said, "Let this inspire you to bring more witnesses, for there awaits you a crown above whose stars shine above the brightness of a noonday sun. Pastor H. M. Burns, teacher of the Galeda class, was called upon and said he was most highly elated over such a large number being present and seemed to be actively engaged in this work. He outlined briefly the object of his plan in arranging for the contest between the classes, and he was able to tie the two as a close relation shin exists between the two. The following program was rendered: Paper by Mrs. Matilda Harwood; solo, Mr. Andrew Morton; reading by Mrs. Blakenore. Those present were: Miss Katie Walker, president; Rev. H. M. Burns, teacher; Miss Allie D. Rutledge, secretary; Mr. Robert Williams, president; Mr. Sam Turner, secretary; Miss Mattie M Span.

By N. Barnett Dodson. New York, Feb. 18. "On to Congress to make democracy safe for all Americans" is the slogan of the United Civic League which is making a vigorous campaign for the election of Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and attorney John C. Hawkins to Congress from the twenty-second congressional district in this city. The above named able and well known men of our race are candidates for congress to fill the vacancies of Murray Hulbert and Henry Brucker. Hon. John M. Royall, president of the league is devoting all his powers to the work of the campaign in which he says "The colored voters must show the country that they can serve with brains here as well as with blood "Over There." Messrs. Ransom and Hawkins have the endorsement of the National-Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Baptist Ministers Union and the Interdenominational Ministers Conference. It was under the auspices of the league that the fight was made last November which resulted in the election of lawyer Edward A. Johnson to the assembly of the state legislature. This organization is composed of more than 2,000 members and they are showing their pluck in the press and doing things worth while to bring attention to Ransom and Hawkins at the special congressional election to be held on Tuesday, March 5th. The league is-preparing for a series of monster mass meetings to be held at Palace Casino in West 135th Street at which speakers of national and state-wide influence will appear and give their views on the issues of the campaign and what the race should do for itself in times like these. Voice in the government as well as speakers should go hand in hand in a Representation like ours and it is the duty of the vote to see to it that these candidates have a fair chance to prove their ability and worth as lawmakers, as well as law obeyers. That a hot campaign is in progress shown each day by busy workers throughout the twenty-second congressional district. TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH... Mr. M. J. Mulloy has been given charge over the colored department of the great Dr. Chittick's intravenous treatments and has selected Dr. A. O. McNorton to be the medical doctor for all the south over the colored end of this wonderful discovery. Dr. O. Alexander Chittick of Peoria, IL wrote the article clipped from the Tennessee in 15th relative to this great discovery will be interesting to the colored people of Nashville and the south. In an interview with a representative of the Tennessee and American, Dr. Chittick made the following statement: "In the year '905 I began my experiments in intravenous or direct medication, using various saline solutions in the blood. "I base my theory upon the fact that all diseases are traceable to the blood, and that if the blood is up to the normal standard we cannot be sick; that we have germs around us all the time, and that it is only a person whose vitality is below the normal standard that becomes infected Consequently the only way to cure a disease is to raise the vitality to the normal standard and the patient throws of the disease. I never treat disease. I treat the blood." "Dr. Schussler of Oldenburg, Germany, was the first man to trace all diseases to a lack of the phosphates in the organism, but he was unable to prove his theory as well as he would have liked, because he gave them internally and in very small doses. "Normally we get these tissue salts from the food, as all food that grows from the soil contains these elements, provided the soil is im- pregnated with them, but, if it is pot, it will not grow beans. "You have your phosphate beds in Tennessee and are shipping them to all parts of the country. The farmers are beginning to learn the value of these elements in the soil. "The vegetable kingdom stands between the animal and the mineral kingdom, taking these inorganic elements from the soil and transmitting them into the organic, the only form that they are taken up in the digestive processes of the animal. However, the soil may be deficient in these elements, consequently vegetables growing from this soil would not supply these necessary elements. These tissue salts are alkaline and their principal action is that of reagents in the blood to help carry on the chemistry of life. When anyone of these elements is missing or deficient the physiological change which carries on the chemistry of life is broken, hence disease. Disease Usually Phosphate Starvation. "Disease is usually phosphate starvation. The rational treatment of disease consists of supplying deficiencies in the human blood, not in doping the patient with drugs and poisons. The five basic salts which I use in my treatment are: Potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium and iron. "To prove the value of these I have taken animals in the laboratory and fed them on food which had these elements removed. The animals maintained their body weight, but died in less time than they would from starvation. Sea water contains an abundance of these salts. I have taken sea crabs like the gammarus and put them in distilled water, and all movement would cease because the heart put the back in sea water and they recover. "Furthermore, when I add the tissue salts to the distilled water they live as long as they do in sea water. This proves conclusively the value of the tissue salts to vital activity. "I have succeeded in making in the laboratory harmonious solution of the tissue salts which fuses with the blood. To do this, it is necessary to raise these salts to the physiological standard of the organic, which is the only form in which they are taken up by the blood. The blood must necessarily be a fountain of life or a river of death. When the blood stream is polluted it is a river of dope spreaded disease to all parts of the body. When it is pure, it is a fountain of life, carrying health and vigor to every organ of the body." MISS DORSEY AT FEDERATION. Miss Dorsey, District Nurse for the Metropolitan Company spoke to an appreciative audience composed of the ladies of the City Federation last Sunday at the Carnegie Library. Her talk was along civic lines and the good to be derived from the trained nurse doing service throughout the city under her supervision. She encouraged the ladies to make reports of any cases that might come under their observation. An excellent report was given Friday night at the Public Library as the result of a city-led campaign by the City Federation for the purchasing of wool to be made into garments for soldiers. The rally will continue until all of the committee has reported and then a full report will be made. There is now completed fourteen garments. Miss Eugenia Bonner, of Favetteville, Tennessee, has just returned from a delightful trip to New Orleans, La., where she enjoyed her time with Sarah Jones, of 1014 Dryden St. Miss Bonner was entertained each evening by some of the social clubs, and states that she had an enjoyable time during her stay. She also had the pleasure of seeing some of the big steamers at Mobile Gulf Port and New Orleans. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22. 1918. PEARL HICE SCHOOL NOTES The exercises attendant upon the hanging of the Service Flag at this school were interesting and impressive. Rev. Presert Taylor, pastor of Lee Avenue Christian Church, a man of much public spirit and influence, delivered the principal address. Rev. Taylor was a soldier in the great Civil War, having fought in some of the important battles in his experience, and contrasted the destructive effects of war with the simpler methods of the War of Secession. He described the flags of the different nations and mentioned the flags which are used by railroads and other corporations for various purposes, the red flag for danger and the green flag for safety. Turning to the Service Flag, he said, "Here we have a new flag, a Service Flag, which indicates that twenty-one young men as represented by the stars, have dedicated their lives to the service of their children." The students to be Americans, to love the flag, to appreciate their citizenship to remain loyal and patriotic, was a fitting perioration of an excellent address. Contestants in Annual Debate Selected. Announcement was made on Friday by Dr. F. G. Smith, the principal, of the names of the students who will take part in the Annual Debate this year. An important change has been made in the manner of conducting the debate. This year the contest will be fought out by six debaters instead of four, three affirmatives and three negatives. The rebuttal speeches will be omitted. Misses Mabel McGavock, Tiny Clendening and Mattie Moore will represent the affirmative, and James Hall, Frank Jones and William Stirring will speak for the negative. The subject, Resolved "That Foreign Immigration to the United States Should Be Further Restricted by the Imposition of an Educational Test," is a live one in view of the many alien enemies in this country at the present time or account of the war. Miss Selene McGaycock Meets with Accident. Friends of Miss E. M. S. McGavock will regret to learn that she has not yet been able to return to school, since the accident which fell her several days ago. In descending the stairs her foot caught and she was thrown precipitately to the floor, from which she was unable to rise. Her physician has instructed her to remain at home on account of the injury. The teachers and pupils regret her prolonged abseence and anxiously await her return. Her place is now being supplied by Miss Susie Crawley, a graduate of Fisk University. Miss Viola Jenkins at Pearl High. A Division of Extension Club for the housekeepers of this vicinity was organized on Thursday, Feb. 14 under the direction of Miss Viola Jenkins. Pearl High School was selected by Miss Mary McGowan, who is working under the auspices of the United States Government, because of the splendid facilities of fered by this school for training in Household Science. The parents of the Pearl, Belleview, Hadley and Ashcraft Schools have been invited to join the club. At the meeting Thursday, Mrs. C. C. Cotton was elected president; Mrs. West Bostic, vice president, and Mrs. T. A. Frierson, secretary. Dr. R. H. Boyd Remembers Pearl Higha The student-body was pleased with the announcement by the principal last Friday that Dr. R. H. Boyd, the senial secretary-treasurer of the National Baptist Publishing Board, would present the school with a new lectern for the rostrum. The contribution of this beautiful piece of stage furniture will fill an important want. Ever since September the principal has felt the need of a speaker's stand for the stage, but on account of the immense amount of work that had to be done in the carpentry department to meet the requirements of the Course of Study, the students were unable to make it. Dr. Boyd has come to the rescue in his usual public-spirited way and relieved the situation. Faculty and students acknowledge a debt of gratitude. Concert by Pearl High Alumni. Advance announcement is made that next month in the auditorium of the school, a musical concert will be given by the graduates and former pupils of the school. The event will be given under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher's Association and is for the purpose of buying a curtain for the stage. Mr. Arthur G. Price, of the class of 1901, has been given full authority to arrange the musical program. Teacher puers are given to offer their service and assist in every way possible to make the concert a success. Mrs. C. Cotton, the president, and teachers of Pearl High are giving the movement their full support. DARDEN HOME DAMAGED. The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Darden in East Nashville was slightly damaged by fire Sunday night when one of the rooms in the upper story caught fire from a defective wire. All members of the family save one had retired, when they were awakened by a poisoning soul in an unoccupied room. Upon investigation it was found that the house was rapidly filling with smoke. An alarm was turned in and aside from the damage caused from water and chemicals the loss was very light. It will be remembered that the Dardens lost their home in the great fire which swept East Nashville a year or so ago. The present house was built in keeping with the fire regulations proposed for that section of the city and it is owing to this fact that the s was very light. The house was bungalow modern in every particular. REV. W. R. SMITH DIES SUDDENLY. Special to the Nashville Globe: Dyersburg, Tenn., Feb. 13, 1913. The Rev. W. R. Smith, D. D., District Superintendent Memphis District Tennessee Conference M. E. Church, passed to the great beyond suddenly Saturday night between the hours of eleven and twelve of heart failure, just after the closing of a strong sermon by himself at the church at Friendship, Tenn. Rev. Smith was a son of Washington and Maria J. Smith; his native home was the Murfreesboro, Tenn. where he was a teacher in a hope in Christ and joined what was then known as Key Chapel. Very early in life he began the work of the gospel ministry and worked his way to the front, and it is true to say he filled some of the leading appointments in the Tennessee Conference and at his death he was discharging the duty as District Superintendent of the Memphis District, the same having been entrusted to his care for three years. He was very studious in life and ranked high in the esteem of men of leading thought. He attended the Gammon Theological Seminary, also finished a course at Walden. He ever remained a student until death. Rev. Smith leaves a host of admirers, two brothers, one Dewitt Smith of Indianapolis, Ind., William Smith, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; one sister, Mrs. Frank Sloan, of Athens, Ohio, to mourn his departure and a loving, obedient wife whose association has been a pleasure as well as a great benefit in his great life's work. Rev. Smith made good in life and was happy in death. He was a man who looked well to his going and loved his fellowman. All that was left as mortal was placed in charge of the H. H. Hudson Undertaking Company of Dyersburg, Tenn., one of the leading colored firms directing funerals, and were shipped to Murfreesboro. Tenn., for interment by the firm of Preston Scales, Undertaking of Murfreesboro, Tenn. WM, HARRISON AT DANVILLE, JUILINO Danville, Ill.—A magnificent audience heard Judge Wm. Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla., in a matchless address here Monday evening. It was delivered at Armory Hall under the auspices of the Twentieth Century Christian and Culture Club. He spoke from the subject, "Patiotism Will Speed up the War." His eloquence with his brilliance captivated the audience. His beautiful tribute touching the life of the immortal Abraham Lincoln and his portraits of the ripe achievements of the race captivated this entire city. He spoke amid deafening aplause almost concluding that the thousand people in attendance. The president of the organization, under whom he appeared, is Mr. Henry Calloway, while the secretary is Miss Vola Burnett. Rev. R. A. Hayden is the pastor of the church and is known for his activities in church work. THE NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITY. Hampton, Va. Feb. 18.—Dr. Hollis 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 belief in the power and willingness of the colored people to meet the food crisis imposed on the world by the Great War. He said: "The crying 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." Thus spoke Wm. Anthony Avery recently of the great educator's work. The National Civic Improvement Association of Richmond, Va., can bear witness to the above statements, says Dr. N. B. Dodson, because it is doing a similar work though in a different way. It has studied the conditions of labor in the south with a view of having our people seeing the necessity of increasing their farm acreage for the coming season. There are thousands of acres in the south with a burning desire to better their condition and who will not migrate to any other section of the country if they are given a fair chance at home. The war has given them the opportunity to become independent producers and independent workers at good wages. Now, then this is the time for the colored people to get a lasting foothold of the soil so that when the war is over they will be masteres of the situation they are faced with.

It will doubtless be no very great surprise to the many friends of Dean John C. Wright of the Fla. A. and M. College to learn that he has resigned his position to enter the oversea service of the Y. M. C. A. . I say it will be no great surprise for those who know Mr. Wright, know that the very character of the man impells him to the greater service, that his genuine Christian manhood and unselfish spirit distinguish him a man among men. Keen in intellect, quick to estimate the minutest need, thoroughly approachable full of enthusiasm and earnestness. Mr. Wright will be a safe anchor for our troops, "over there" against the snares of deported American prejudice and petty contravances that work discomfort and embarrassment as well as a sign post to the ever brilliant light of Christianity. Suited in every respect to the duties before him, he should make a Secretary whose work shall be an outstanding feature of the oversea service. Mr. Wright has served in the capacity of Dean of the College at the Fla. A. and M. College seven years and the strong Academic course the collegiate tone of the rating of the foremost schools of the south are in a great measure monuments to his genius and industry. It is merely rhetorical to attribute hro worship to the abovigvive alone.

THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIRDRESSER that man catching the spirit of the higher call, bravely returns to the Giver his God-given treasures, his all, to cross a hill, ribbed sea for the love of humanity and universal good, we uncover in the presence of a hero. The most that we can wish for the Y. M. C. A. is that it has gained as much as we have lost. Mr. Wright is our contribution to the Christian forces that are fighting for equality in democracy. Impressive resolutions on the Dean's resignation were adopted at the February Faculty meeting. The student body presented him a fine Bible with a book mark in the college colors and the Faculty members surprised him with an appropriate soldier's wrist watch. Mr. Wright left Sunday the 3rd for New York to sail for France. A solemn spectacle presented as while the train moved away the long line of uniformed students stood uncovered in the lowering mist as our hearts beat out the wounded blessing "God is my strength" and our form mechanically into college form and the startled air was rent with a full long "Three cheers for Wright!" RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE FACULTY, FEB. 1, 1918. Whereas our friend and co-worker, Mr. John C. Wright, Dean of the Academic department, has labored so efficiently and unselfishly among us during the past seven scholastic years. Whereas, He has identified himself so closely with every movement looking toward the improvement of our institutional life. In recent years, he has decided to lay aside his present duties to answer the urgent call of our country for oversea duty without men in arms in the fight for world democracy. and Resolved. 1. That we express our heartiest appreciation of the services of Mr. Wright during these years, and for the manner in which he has cooperated with the President, the Departmental Directors and the faculty generally, to make the Florida A. and M. College the Cap-stone of Negro education in this state. 2. That we regret the severance of his official connection with us, but admire his patriotism in being willing to leave friends and kindred, wife and little ones, to face the uncertainties and perils of the overseas service. 3. That we express our confidence in his character and ability adequately to represent our college, our race and our nation, in the service with which he has been called. 4. That we bid him God-speed in all his subsequent labors; that we pray that after having by example and Christian friendship, saved many of our men from the assaults of evil, he may, in God's providence, return safe to his family and friends. 5.

(Continued from page 1.) that it may be resurrected and put into execution. If not such exists, then in the name of all the order-loving people of this County, in the name of the eighty-five thousand Negro soldiers who are either fighting for the stars and stripes, for liberty and democracy in the trenches in France or preparing to go there; in the name of the twelve million loyal Negroes in the United States and especially in the name of the four hundred and seventy-three thousand, eight hundred Negroes in this State, we most earnestly and respectfully petition your Excellency to exercise your magisterial power and call our legislature together in extraordinary session to enact law or laws as will meet this situation and remedy the evils that are now besetting us and so materially injuring the good name and welfare of our State. Following the Hon. Mr. Napier, Rev. W. S. Ellington, D.D., editorial secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, pastor of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville and a representative of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, who is also known for his eloquence, his scholarly bearing, his patriotic utterances and who is idolized by the citizens of the city because of his deep interest in all that pertains to the welfare of the Negroes, in addressing the overnor on the occasion, said: * * * The Address as Delivered by Rev. W. S. Ellington before the Governor of the State When a Delegation of Several Hundred Negroes Waited on His Majesty to Protest Against Laws. Rev. Ellington Spoke as Follows: Governor Rye: we, the representatives of the colored citizens of the commonwealth of Tennessee, have come to ask you as the Chief Executive of the State to use your good graces and the strong arm of the law to protect us from mob violence. The frequency with which the lynching and burning of Negroes occurs in our state is alarming. We do not condone crime; we have no excuse to offer nor defense to make for the criminals among us. What we want is that white men when they violate the law of the state shall be ferreated out and punished for their crimes as men are when they are of breaking the law. We want the dignity and majesty of the law up held by example as well as by present. There should be no discrimination in meting out justice to criminals. Mob violence destroys the ends for which it is intended. We want every man, white and black alike, who is accused of crime, given a fair and impartial trial before a jury of his peers. We love the South; we were born and reared here; our families and all that we have are here. Here we must solve our problems and work out our destiny. And we need the help and encouragement of our white friends. Governor Rye, you know that we have no voice in making, nor enforcing the laws which we are called upon to obey. Yet we love law and order and are teaching our people everywhere to live at peace with their white neighbors and to make themselves worthy of American citizenship. Thousands of our young men are even now in training camps preparing to go to the trenches in France, there to fight and to die that the world may be made safe for democracy. We are asking protection from mob violence while our young men follow the flag by the side of your sons to the front and there, by their heroism and valor, make it impossible for Prussianism ever again to disturb the tranquility of our prosperity here at home, or molest our commerce upon the high seas. We ask no special favors for our fidelity and patriotism. We only ask for that protection which is vouchsafed to every American citizen by the constitution of the United States. We are not foremen and strangers. We are American citizens and we want to be treated as such. We came to these shores before the Pilgrim Fathers. They came over in the Mayflower in 1620 and landed on Plymouth Rock. But a ship load of our ancestors was brought to these shores in 1619 against their will and sold to the planters of Virginia. We were selling our race fell the forest, to tunnel the mountains and to bridge the rivers. We have never been guilty of rebellion nor race riots. We love the civic and religious institutions of America and especially of the South. All we ask is that the privileges of life property and the pursuits of happi ness be not denied us because of our race, nor because of our previous condition of servitude. Leave the door of hope open, give us a man's chance. This is all we ask. The last speaker representing the committee of two thousand was the Rev. J. H. Grant, the pastor of the Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, a representative of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, composed of the churches of all denominations, and who is regarded as one of Nashville's most eloquent, forceful and logical pulpithees, addressed His Excellency, the overnor of the State, and said: Delivered by Rev. J. H. Grant on Behalf of the Interdenominational Alliance. His Excellency, Tom C. Rye, Governor of the State of Tennessee: We, the representatives of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance and citizens, come to register our protest against the inhuman treatment that is being perpetrated upon our people in this our beloved State, such as was seen in Memphis, Dyersburg and Estill Springs, in the burning of J. L. Hellerson and the killing of the Rev. G. W. Wyche, a Christian minister in charge of the A. M. E. Church at Estill Springs, and a man near 70 years of age. In the outset we wish it known that we deplore any crime committed in our State and that we stand ready to offer our services to aid the constituted authority of the law in the apprehending of the criminal. As citizens contributing our share of the men and of our means to aid the victims, we are for universal Democracy, we enter solemn protest against the continuance of mob violence which is a blotch on our civilization and a stink in the noirl of human society. Now as to the Estill Springs occurrence, it is an open secret and can be easily verified and established that the white boys have long amused themselves by running the Negro boys from the town whenever they felt to do so. The young man that did the shooting, J. L. McIlherron, had been chased from town many a time by the white boys, and on this occasion it is commonly rumored that he refused to run. Now, what shall we say? There is one thing that is certain, the only possible course that remains to us, as servants of God, is that of protest and exhaustless effort. This is our lives and our doings as sons of God and men on the behalf of this republic. How can we, and this nation if we ourselves remain enslaved through fear? If as a nation, America cannot free herself, how can she save Germany and her allies? What right has this nation to witness for a democracy and a future peace which it does not realize and hasn't the moral courage to practice? These burnings and lynchings that are so common in our state have a tendency to obstructing and defeating every attempt of the nation to claim the world for Democracy. Our national passion to extricate the other nations of the world from the Kaiser, our anxiety to prove our sincerity by giving our sons and treasure, and above all our heartaches for the people of Belgium and Russia, whose wrongs we would blot out, may betray us into an evasion of the real task to which the Almighty has summoned us. Isn't it clear that we have here one of the many cases, common to both individual experience and historic movements of nations, in which a hasty and uncomprehending conscience may prove to be our Judas, and drive us from the field on which the battle for God and Democracy is to be fought? The nations stand pale with rage at the inhumanity of Germany when it hears the recital of its awful crimes and tyrannical treatment of innocent people like David did before Nathan. David did not appear to realize what his own sin was like till it was interpreted to him by the lesser sin of another man. A community, or State, like an individual, may continue to commit crime until it feels no instinctive recoil from its abiding horror. The moral sense is like some delicate and sensitive instrument, which indicates with perfect accuracy the tendencies of conduct so long as it is untempered with; but once wronged its power some benevolence it tells us what we are to hear, and what we know is true. Thus it is with the American conscience, and especially is this true with too many of the citizens of the State of Tennessee when a Negro be involved with a white man. Thus public opinion has exaggerated the liberty of the American white man and lessened his duty and re sponsibility to defend the laws of his State or Nation where a Negro citi NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1918 zeen's rights are at stake. They apparently forget that there is no individual or racial redemption in a Democracy from a social and national wrong; only a social and national redemption will free each individual at last. Democracy is an organism of all the people, and not a certain number of individuals; individuals are members of the Democracy, and can be free and righteous only in the freedom of the whole body. in a Democracy for good or ill, we are bound together one human life and destiny. Without us and without doing its duty to us, the American Democracy cannot be made perfect. There is no final salvation for Democracy and insecurity and iniquity until the last and most degraded Negro along with all other human beings who violate the laws of the land can have a fair and impartial trial before a well-ordered and regulated court of justice. The people of Estill Springs have had their burning of human being. What have they done? They were silent at a time when their words could have brought the power of the Statq to their aid. Whatever they may say, they must bear the scar of their crime, the mortifying memory of their cowardice, through all their life. They are now full of abhorrence for the burning and contempt for the lynchers, and judging from the two articles from its citizens upon the subject, they no doubt flatter themselves that they must be very virtuous and good to haev persuaded the lynchers to burn Mellilow and the man who murdered their public streets. There they seem content to rest. They seem not to know that their silence makes them an accomplice of the lynching they say they deplore. They seem not to know that they are the yoke fellows with the lynchers, and, before God and the citizens of the world they "bear their iniquity." They should know that there is nothing more perilous than to allow one's self to become the confidant of bad men—if they can regard lynchers as bad. To be silent when one should speak is as evil as to speak when you should be silent. To be tongue-tied by cowardice when wrong dis covers its hideous nakedness to us, as evil a thing as to praise wrong and sing the coronation song of wickedness. It is possible that many of Estill Springs who are prodigally gifted with animals courage—the steel heart and iron nerve as was demonstrated on the night of the lynching; but who in the higher test of courage must be dies missed as cowards. They are like the men of whom Bunyan spoke when he said— "Though you could crack a coward's crown, Or quarrel for a nin. You dare not on the wicked trown, Or speak against his sin." Whatever future life the people of Estill Springs may have, of this at least we may be pretty sure; that night in the woods of their town will always stand out terribly clear and luminous as the one supreme event, the crowning moral opportunity to serve humanity and to serve their State. And they lost it. They should forever stand bowed in fruitless shame in the darkness of the woods, with the loud dying cry of J. L. McIlherron ringing in their ears as they pierced his heart with hot irons and burnt his head from his body. We are recognized as citizens of this government when she needs men to fight and to lay upon the altar their lives for upholding the constitution. As one has said: "Citizenship does not mean alone that the man who possesses it shall be obedient to the law, and if the hour of peril comes, yield his time, his property, and protect his country. It means more than that. It more that his country shall guarantee 'calm and protect him in every right which the Constitution gives him. What right has the Republic to demand his life, his property, in the hour of peril, if, when his hour of peril comes, it falls him? And now, your honor, we, the representatives of the Negroes of the State of Tennessee, feel that the hour has come, wherein it would be criminal and cowardly in us to longer hold our peace. We feel that the sin of omission is sometimes as great as the sin of commission. You are the chief sentinel of the State, the guardian angel, so to speak, of her citizens. We come to ask that you exercise your constitutional authority in the apprehension and conviction of the leaders of the Estill Springs mob. Signed by the committee, Revs. W. R. Stephens, Chairman; J. H. Ellis, A. D. Hurt, A. A. White; T. M. Brumfield, John H. Grant, Secretary. At the conclusion of these three addresses which, while they were being made, received marked atten- tion from the audience, the size of which had never filled the legislative hall, representative of the Negroes, and while the sat and as their representative poured forth, plain plants in the very legislative hall, so in keeping with the place set apart for the occasion, so in keeping with the mission of the silent two thousand, the Govrnor sat and listened to the pleadings as they were put forth. At the conclusion the Governor arose and amid applause declared that as Chief Executive of the State of Tennessee he had watched agast the lawlessness perpetrated in various communities. He declared he has asked the legislature on more than one occasion to vest the Governor with sufficient authority to cope with the situation so that he could act when it was necessary, but this authority had been denied. "You come to me orderly, patriotic, with such splendid presentations and addresses, to lay before me the violences and the violations of the law that you have just recited. As Governor of this State, it have been my mind and intention to act as possible and as far as lies in the power of the law. You have referred to the Estill Springs incident as a mob, I am informed that the crowd that gathered there that brought about the burning of the Negro numbered considerably more than the population of Estill Springs. I could not have stopped the mob, neither could I have sent the millitia, except upon the request and application from the sheriff of Franklin County. The power and the remedy lies in you, the representatives of your race. If you would elect a legislature that the governor the power to remove officers for negligence of duty, and if you would elect county and city officials who would see that the laws are not violated, you would be giving yourself the redress you now seek from the governor of the State," he declared in making a response to what had already been said. The Governor spoke at length and gave his views upon the recent crimes. At the conclusion of his address he was thanked for his patience, for his hearty reception, after which the committee of two thou sand marched out of the state capitol. As they were coming out some lingered on the steps and a photo graph was taken of a part of the delegation. When it became known that the protest would be made to the Governor of the State for his consideration, touching upon the outrages, the lynchings and so on that have been reiterated to as the shame of Tennessee, and when the Governor himself had declared there was no power given him under the State of Tennessee to act, many of the older citizens, and especially those who have been watching the public trend of affairs, are said to have asked for the return of the days of Ex-Governor Malcolm R. Patterson. Some referred to the fact that if the governor had no law, he certainly had a precedent. Reference is made to the time of the Reel Foot Lake disturbance, when it is said, the county officials would take no hand in bringing to a stop the violence, that Mr. Patterson, as chief executive of the State, not only stopped it, but took up temporary abode at Reel Foot Lake, living in a tent, appointed special deputies and did not stop until every man that constituted the lawlessness of Reel Foot Lake had been arrested, tried and convicted. Incident after incident was referred to which the Governor might act, but whether or not his attention had been called, there seems to have been no evidence. EF fort was made by representatives of the Nashville Globe this week to get a report of the committee that gave the facts from the parents of the murdered young man and from citizens in the community in and about Ells Springs, as none of the daily papers through their reports gave any cause as to why McIllennon killed the two men and wounded the third one. LANE COLLEGE FARMERS' CONFERENCE. Jackson Teem—President J. F. Lane, of the Lane College of this city has just sent out the programs for the Lane College Farmers' Conference to be held in this city beginning Thursday, February 28th, and closing Friday, March 1st. The two days are to be spent in the deliberations of the fifteenth annual session of the organization, which is composed of farmers, business men, teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers and day laborers. There are representatives from eighteen counties and each county has a vice president, which added to the officers of the conference, augmented by the executive committee, has made splendid preparations for a large attendance and inspiring meeting. A number of special speakers have already been secured. The plans for the first day as announced by President Lane are now complete. FOOD SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION. Food was the subject of study Saturday evening at a well attended meeting of the Home Demonstrator Club, which Mrs. William Wilson was hostess, at her beautiful home on Lansey street, Eas Nashville. "Food for children, or the proper nourishment for the growing child" was the principal discussion, iron, which many interesting points were brought out. At the close of the meeting the hostess, assisted by Mrs. S. E. Turner, served an unexpected but dummy repast. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Frank McCullough, 730 Winter street, February 23, 1913. Mrs. Vivian Thompson Turner is the winner of the silver trophy cup voted in a recent popularity contest, to determine the ownership of the cup and who shall be leading lady of the mamouth film to be produced shortly by the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee which has undertaken the task of raising $2,000,000 for the relief of the dependents of the colored soldiers now at the fr' or to go "over there." AFRO-AMERICANS FOR REGULAR ARMY IN FINE CONDITION. EXCEL ANGLO AMERICANS IN PHYSICAL FITNESS. FLAT FEET ANGLO-AMERICANS, 55.7—FLAT FEET AFRO-AMERICANS, 44.8. Dr. Isaac W. Brewer of the Medical Reserve Corps has recently stated through the New York Medical Journal that figures show that Afro-Americans applying for army service are in better physical condition than Anglo Americans. His report brings out the fact that Afro-Americans are less tubercular and less inclined to alcholism than the Caucasian and there are less rejections to his credit for weak mind and flat feet than among the Caucasian. Dr. Brewer his compiled two tablets showing the percentage of rejections among applicants for enlistment. The first shows the rejection rate per thousand among 153,705 Caucasians and 11,092 Afro-Americans for entrance into the regular army from January 1st, 1912 to December 31, 1915 as follows: Dr. Brewer says: Veneral disease is the greatest cause for rejection, and reports from the cantonments where the National Army has assembled indicate that a large number of the men had these diseases when they arrived at the camp. It is probably true that veneral diseases cause the greatest amount of sickness in our country. We must face this squarely and bodily our energies toward the cause. Radiation, radiation, the cause of these diseases and their mode of transmission, we shall eventually be able to prevent them. Heart disease stands second on the list, and this, too, is to a certain extent preventable. The same applies to defects of hearing and defects of vision, which are third and fourth on the list. Flat feet is fifth on the list, but it should probably stand higher, as many with this defect in a moderate degree are passed into the hospital, and many with their discharged because the condition of their feet precludes their doing their full duty. Contrary to the general opinion Afro-Americans have this deformity in less degree than the Causasian. Defective teeth stand twelfth on the list, but it should occupy a much higher place, if we classed here all who have cavities in their teeth. To pass the examining officer it is only necessary to have two opposing molars on each side and the bicuspides are counted as molars. My personal observation has been that very men have perfect teeth. These facts have perfected the wards securing dental treatment for school children. Tuberculosis is fifteenth on the list but it is probable that many who had that disease were rejected by the recruiting parties because of poor physique or underweight were never examined. NATIONAL BAPTIST LITERATURE IN FRANCE. Following the United States Army on its march for the world-wide Democracy will be found periodicals of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which institution has been on the alert in seeing to it that not only the literature is kept up to the highest possible standard, but that its circulation is not at all impeded. They have been active in giving every community in the several states as well as every country in the civilized world where the Baptists are at work an opportunity to use a literature the product of the intellect from every point of view of the Negro Baptists. The establishment of a*Baptist Sunday school for the soldiers somewhere in France is but another instance of how Dr. R. H. Boyd has stood out in the forefront of the leadership of his denomination. Mr. Houston Hall, who is now in the trenches somewhere in France, is superintendent of one of the Sunday schools, the last one established, and his literature was sent with a special letter, after he had written telling of the establishment of the school with the American army. In the trenches abroad, therefore, is found the literature published in Nashville from the Board known throughout the country. Irvin C. Miller to Bring His Show to Nashville. Anxious to make a trip home to see his father, who has been ill for the past few weeks, and being unable to leave his big show, Irvin C. Miller had his manager to change his entire route in order to include his home town. So they will be here in a few weeks.

If such law is in existence we trust escort, he was chaperoned to the New Zion Baptist Church on 24th street, one of the most magnificent church edifices in that part of Alabama, located on one of the most prominent streets. The work here is the result of only eleven years' service of the Rev. T. J. James. When Rev. James took charge of the New Zion Church there were Don't be a Slacker PORO ---is in 10,000 Homes; is it in yours? "PORO" 3100 Pine Street Dept. R. St. Louis, Mo.

They had no building, were practically worshipping out of doors, so in eleven years they have built a $25,000 structure of red pressed brick and the membership has been increased to about six hundred. When the Rev. Mr. Boyd entered the church, the entire congregation that filled the church from pulpit to the door, stood and gave him the chaucaqua salute, then the choir sang "Onward Christian Soldiers." Rev. Mr. James then introduced the speaker of the hour, whose Front-Line Sunday School held the audience for more than an hour. The Sunday school workers of New Zion were responsive, and gave to him as they had given to no other Sunday school worker, the reception of the hour. Mr. James Berry is the superintendent of the Sunday school. As soon as the Rev. Mr. Boyd had finished his address a little six year old girl by the name of Mary Alice Stephens delivered such a welcome as brought the house down. A tot of but six, clearly and distinctly, told of how Bessemer had been waiting for the coming of the Congress Secretary. This was followed by a solo by little Ruth Watson, who is only seven years old. She sang in a clear, melodious voice, "Is That Somebody You?" and closed the song with pauses to the Congress Secretary, saying, "Yes, That Somebody Is You." These two children had been taught by Mrs. May Reese Johnson, who is the instructor of the Community Hall, assisted by Mr Wm. Norwood and others. The benediction had been pronounced, a public reception was held and the members of the New Zion were introduced to the visitor by the pastor. On Monday morning he was taken through the city to return the calls of the business and professional men who had greeted him the night before. It seemed, however, that the climax of the Alabama trip awaited him upon his return to Birmingham Monday evening. Mrs. A. C. Williams, the wife of the pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, entertained them at noon lunch. At 6 o'clock, however, the Rev. J. H. Kelly, the pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, gave a six o'clock dinner in his honor. It was at this dinner that the dignitaries from the pulpit, the profession and business world were invited, met and dined with the secretary Dinner was served" of the second of the Friendship Church. In the double parlor of what is used through the week as a conservatory of music. A special corps of ladies of the church served as Reception Committee and waiters. When they had gathered around the festive board, the Rev. Dr. Kelty explained the occasion and gave a slight history of the work of the guest of the occasion. After dinner was over impromptu speaking and toasts to the guests were made by Rev. John W. Goodgame, D. D., pastor of the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church; Prof. Parker, principal of the high school of Birmingham, and Prof. Davis, principal of the grammar school. At eight o'clock the reception committee escorted the Congress Secretary to the church auditorium. When the Secretary entered the door the choir and congregation began singing "On, On, Metokas and Galedas," amid deafening applause. After a short invocation, the Rev. A. C. Williams, D. D., was called upon by the pastor to introduce the speaker. He told of when he first met and how he had become attached to him and then asked the audience for their undivided attention. When the Rev. Mr. Boyd arose he was greeted with another applause. He paid his respects to the audience declaring to them that it was one o' Make up your mind to throw off the shackles that have held you back in life's race for the share of prosperity and happiness that rightfully belongs to you.

Very well. the joys of his life to greet the Sunday school forges of Greater Birmingham once more. His talk on "Front-line Sunday Schools" was listened to with profound attention. He had hardly begun when the Birmingham boosters led by their president and secretary filed into the auditorium. He spoke for more than an hour, delighting his audience throughout. There was never a dull moment. He sandwiched in between his Front-line Sunday School address the great work of the National Baptist Publishing Board and what it had been able to do for the race and the denomination within the community years before representatives practically every denomination in Birmingham in the audience, and at the conclusion of the address, the Rev. Dr. Kelly was forced as master of ceremony to yield to the demand for three minute resposes. Among those who paid their respects to the address and declared it a matchless effort were Revs. J. H. Eason, president of the Birmingham College; John W. Goodgame, pastor of the Sixth W. Goodgame Baptist Church; A. C. Williams, pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church; L. S. Steinback, who for twenty years was one of the missionaries in the state of Alabama; J. H. Magwood and two of Birmingham's leading educators. The speaker was almost smothered with congratulations and introduction with handshakes which followed the announcement of the proclamation after Mr. Cheek had ordered a beautiful solo, "Turn on the Light." It is understood here that this address and this visit have already stirred a deeper interest in the coming Sunday School Congress that is to be held at Alexandra, La., and the Birmingham District Sunday school forces under the leadership of such a representative as Mr. Welch. the national secretary of the Metokas, are planning to take a special coach to Alexandra.
