APPELLATE COURT KILLS SEGREGATION.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 28. Special to the Globe:—
The Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland handed down a decision today reversing the lower court and declared the Serregation law invalid. This decision caused much rejoicing among the Negroes of the state. It will be remembered that the Supreme Court of the United States had already held a Kentucky law of similar import Unconstitutional.
The regular monthly service will be held Sunday, March 10, at 3:00 p. m., in the school chapel. Rev. W. C. Alexander, the efficient pastor of Glenn Leven Presbyterian Church, will deliver the sermon. Special music is being prepared by the teacher of music, Miss Ruth Upshaw. The public is invited.

Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 15, 1918. Ceremonies in the chapel of the Mehairy Auditorium immortalizing the eighty-seven graduates of that institution who are now with the United States army in its various branches, were held last Friday. There were representatives from a number of states in the audience. There were newspaper men representing an association of one hundred and twenty-six publications with over a million weekly circulation. President Geo. W. Hubbard, the Dean of the college, presided. The occasion proper was the presentation of a service flag with eighty-seven stars, which was the gift of the Mehairy Alumni Association through the efforts of Dean J. A. Lester. Five hundred Mehairy students representing the various departments of the college, together

with equally as many citizens from the city proper, made up an audience which for enthusiasm, has not been surpassed.
President Hubbard in speaking of the occasion said, "As far as I have been informed, Meharry was the first College to pledge President Wilson its hearty support to his declaration of war against Germany. The day after his proclamation was issued the faculty and students of Meharry telegraphed him the following message, (The acceptance of which was duly acknowledged): "To the President of the United States:
The faculty and students of the medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Nurse-training departments of Meharry College 500 strong, unanimously tender to the government of the United States, their service in the present crisis. We are ready, use us."
At an early date quite a number of the Meharry graduates enlisted in the military service and were sent to the training camps at Des Moines, Iowa. They were afterwards transferred to the medical service and commissioned as first Lieutenants where they were afterwards joined by others,' and when I visited the camp about the first of September I found about 40 in actual training, two of whom Dr. Henry Walker of Nashville, and Dr. S. B. Hickman of Memphis were afterwards promoted to be Captains.

Quite a considerable proportion have already been assigned to active duty, and others are waiting to be sent to their fields of labor. Some will be assigned to ambulance service, some will have hospital work and others will serve as surgeons in the various colored regiments.

Meharry hopes to be prepared to furnish one-half of the surgeons needed to supply the colored regiments and hospital service. Thus far they have an honorable record, and we anticipate that this will continue throughout the war.
We are glad that so many have so promptly responded to the call of duty and expect that others will likewise be ready to volunteer when needed.

In coming years it will be a source of great satisfaction to the Negro race and their friends to know that they so faithfully and promptly did their full share in rallying to the support of the old flag, and performed their whole duty in the service of the country.

INTEREST AROUSED IN THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL—GREAT RE-
CEPTION.
Lebanon, Tenn., Feb. 26"—Citizens
of this city braved the stormy weather
last night to hear Rev. Henry Allen
Boyd, in an address on "Front Line
Sunday-schools," which was delivered
at the High School to a magnificent
audience. Rev. Mr. Boyd has been in-
vited by a special committee and pre-
parations for a big ovation had been
made.
Upon his arrival he was met by Drs.
W. A. Thompson and R. C. Patton,
who together with Prof L. L. Campbell
and J. R. McDaniel constituted
a committee of citizens in charge of
the affair which proved to be one of
the most momentous occasions of this
historic city. His coming here was
for the purpose of discussing ways
and means of making the Sunday
school a great power among all classes
of citizens. Even the children
clamored for an opportunity to hear
him and turned out in full force.
At eight o'clock the rain was falling
in torrents and the wind blowing to
almost a gale but the faithful and
pure in heart and those who believe
in the mission of the Sunday school

was a very creditable one. The crowd was appreciative and out of the ordinary for any lecture that has been held in this city. Prof. Campbell, Principal of the School, called the meeting to order and told the purpose of the lecture, after which the congregation arose and sang "America." Invocation was offered by Rev. M. F. Riley. At the conclusion of the prayer Miss Harris, one of the sweet singers of Lebanon, rendered a solo accompanied by Miss Laura Bostiek at the piano. The Master of Ceremonies introduced Dr. R. C. Patthe, the well known dentist and graduate of Mchary Medical College, who introduced the speaker. Dr. Patton told of his early acquaintance with the guest of the hour, how he had watched him at close range and declared to the audience that they were about to hear one who had "Made good in more than one line of endeavor." I have been anxious ever since I located in your city to have you hear the leading Sunday school promoter of this country, the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress forces and General Superintendent of the Sunday schools of the United States. My dream has been realized and I present to you Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn.
Rev. Mr. Boyd was received with great applause and as he ashe to speak he was given an ovation. He spoke for one hour and forty minutes

White people believing in the enforcement of the law held a rousing meeting in the Central Association building of the Y. M. C. A., last Sunday. It was in the Wilson Auditorium proper. While it was a mass meeting in the beginning, the speeches made and arguments set forth seemed to have aroused a patriotic spirit. The enforcement of the ouster law was suggested as one of the best remedies for lawlessness and judging from the reports of the papers it was one that is calculated to be far-reaching. Excerpts from the daily papers contained the following:
No Better Time for Law and Order Leagues.
"There was never a more opportunity time for the organization of law and order leagues than this. We are pledged to do our utmost in a struggle which involves human freedom

and democracy. The large number of homicides in America is a source of constant amazement to European countries. What form of autocracy is worse than that of an enraged mob? If democracy means anything it means justice to all and the maintenance of law and order. If Anglo-Saxon civilization means anything, it means the right of constitutional trial by the law of the land Only the English can all force a Government based upon law and order, can we be truly patriotic in a struggle to which we have given our all, and maintain a civilization bequeathed to us by our fathers."
The report was also endorsed by the following citizens, whose support to the organization is pledged by their signatures: J. H. Peyton, W. R. Cole, Hunter McDonald, J. H. Allison, R. H. Yancy, M. B.

handled that at the conclusion of the same the audience declared that they had been delightfully entertained.
Following the Rev. Mr. Boyd the Master of Ceremonies called upon Dr. W. A. Thomas leading physician and surgeon of this city to respond. Dr. Thomas told of the four years spent in Nashville at Meharry Medical College from which he graduated and how he had observed the work of the National Baptist Publishing Board. He declared "We are the recipients of more tonight than it has been our good fortune to have for a number of years. Indeed never since I have been in your city have I gotten so much cut of the day school movement as I have received tonight! I shall take it all back and put it in force in my own Sunday school. A bass solo was rendered by Prof. A. L. Pate accompanied by Miss Bostick. All here admitted that no public meeting held in the city has attracted the attention of so many people from so many different walks of life. Among the many prominent people in the audience who assisted in making the meeting successful, Prof. L. Cummings, Nathan Woods, G. R. McDaniel, Ed Sherrill, Rev M. F. Riley, Dr. W. A. Thompson, Dr. R. S. Patton, Mesdames E L. Inman, Pearl Crews, Misses N. E. Davis, Eunice Harris, Mallinee Whitley, Laura Bostick and Prof. A. L. Pate.

T. J. Tymre moved the appointment of a committee of five to report a plan of organization to carry out the purposes outlined in the report. This motion was discussed briefly by M. B. Morton and other speakers, all of whom expressed the sentiment that the time had come to stop the burning and torturing of persons accused of crime. They had as much abhorrence of the crimes for which the lynching was done as anyone, but believed that in a civilized society the laws had full power to punish. Mr. Tyne's motion prevailed, and the committee was appointed consisting of Percy D. Maddin, chairman; T. J. Tyne, John R. Aust, C. A. Craig and C. B. Wallace.
While the committee was out Dr. Weatherford addressed the meeting by request. He said that the report was not only a protest against mob violence, but it was an active step toward preventing it. The report was not a wholesale condemnation of the courts, but was an attempt to set forth the duty of proceeding according to the law and in order, the foundation stone of all civilization. Mob violence a slight at least, and a declaration that a mob could deal out justice better than the constituted courts. Law should be respected and people should be made to respect them. Even if the courts were sometimes slow, no body of men could be justified in hurrying proceedings by means that were unlawful. A mob was elemental savagery that overthrows the law. Mob violence did not prevent crime, for there was never yet a lynching, however, horrible, that was not followed by other crimes similar to the crimes of the man summarily executed. It was not present, but a creator of crime. Mob law had been robbing us of our high ideals, back of which lay all clalvary. It was to the credit of the people of Nashville, both white and colored, that there had been no lynching here for twenty-five years.
The report shows us, said the speaker, that there are remedies. The ouster law can be invoked, and must be invoked against every officer who connives at or without resistance, even at the risk of his life, permits the mob to have the criminal. He cited some commendable instances of successful resistance to mobs by officials.
Chairman Maddin then read his report recommending take out a charter, and suggesting the first board of directors for it. These directors, J. H. Allison, Bruce R. Payne, E. B. Stahman, Dr. J. H. Kirkland, G. N. Tillman, Dr. I. Lewinthal, Byrd Murray, Dr. Carey Morgan, Lee Loventhal. Dr. W. B. Taylor, J. D. Planton, Dr. James I. Vance, Albert E. Hill, Dr. Stritch, J. H. DeWitt, John Howe Peyton, Jo B. Morgan, O. J. Timothy, T. N. Ivie, W. H. Lambeth, T. J. Tyne, John R. Aust, C. A. Craig, C. B. Wallace, D. Maddin, W. R. Cole, R. T. Creighton, H. G. Hill, Patrick H. Cain, Jeff McCarn.
The by-laws provide that any reputable citizen could become a member if favoring the objects of the organization. The board of directors will select the officers, which consist of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
ONLY TEN DAYS MORE.
Just ten more days and the Colored Young Men's Christian Association membership drive culminates. No announcement as to the progress made by various teams has yet been given out to the public. It is understood, however, that some of the teams have made great strides. It is said that two or more prizes will be provided for individual winners and the winning team. Full details will be announced later.
It is rumored that division number two with William Avent as leader has some secret plans under way which will make it difficult for the other division to even approach him in the total number of members secured. They met Friday night, Mar. 1, and outlined their plans for the homestretch. Probably the most thrilling reports will be made Friday night, March 8, just four days of the close of the campaign. Friends are invited to be present at both of these meetings.
The Committee of Management and the Advisory Board, in a meeting Friday night, divided themselves

NUMBER 18
THREE REPRESENTATIVES OF NASHVILLE HONORED—J. C. NAPIER, PRESTON TAYLOR AND H. A. BOYD—REPRESENTATIVES OF OTHER PLACES WILL MAKE UP ORGANIZATION.
New York, Feb. 20, 1918. President Wilson on Tuesday afternoon received a delegation of four members of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by special appointment. The delegation placed before the President a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York in which the President was asked to extend executive clemency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by verdict of the court martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and requesting the President to cause to be laid before him a review of the cases of the forty-one soldiers of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial. The delegation consisted of James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Rev. George F. Miller Rector of St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, Rev. Frank M. Hydier, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City, and Rev. F. A. Cullen, President of the New York Branch.
Mr. Johnson, who acted as spokesman of the delegation, said:
man of the denomination
"We come as a delegation from the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the twelve thousand singers tothis petition which we have the honor to lay before you. And we come not only as representatives of those who signed this petition, but we come representing the sentiments and aspirations and sorrows, too, of the great mass of the Negro population of the United States. "
"We respectfully and earnestly request and urge that you exert executive emency to the five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by court martial. And understanding that the cases of the man of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial are to be reviewed, we also request and urge that you cause this review to be laid before you and that executive emency be shown also to them.
"We feel that the history of this particular regiment and the splendid record for bravery and loyalty of our Negro soldiery in every crisis of the nation give us the right to make this request. And we make it not only in the name of their loyalty, but also in the name of the unquestioned loyalty to the nation of twelve million Negroes, a loyalty which today places them side by side with the original American stocks that landed at Plymouth and Jamestown.
"The hanging of thirteen men without the opportunity of appeal to the Secretary of War or to their Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, was a punishment so drastic and so unusual in the history of the nation that the execution of additional members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry would to the colored people of the country savor of vengeance rather than justice.
"It is neither our purpose nor is this the occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of colored people is justified or not. As representatives of the race we desire only to testify that it does not exist. This state of mind has been intensified by the significant fact that although white persons were involved in the Houston affair and the regiment to which the colored men belonged was offered entirely by white men, none but colored men, so far as we have been able to learn, have been undermined.
prosecuted
"We desire also respectfully to call to your attention the fact that there were mitigating circumstances for the action of these men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Not by any premeditated design and without cause did these men do what they did at Houston, but by a long series of humiliating and harrassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault on Corporal Baltimore, they were goaded to sudden and frenzied action. This is borne out by the long record for orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of the regiment throughout its whole war up to that time.

Lekins, now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without mentioning the terrible outrages against our people that have taken place in the last three quarters of a year; outrages that are not only unspeakable wrongs against them, but bultons upon the fair name of our common country. We mention the riotes at East St. Louis, in which ed people brent the brunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of the law. And we especially mention savage burnings that have taken place in Page 8.)

UNION CITY.
What mankind is awaiting, is the brotherhood of man;
It's asked for, prayed for, since 'eer the world began.
Men talk of it, they preach of it, from every point of view.
But those who do nobly practice it, there numbers do be few.
Why wait until communities resolve to live it out?
It's just by ones and twos and threes such work is brought about.
Each one of us has got a world tie up within our breast.
And what we are and what we do, should benefit the rest.
Good people of Union City, I am engaged in writing your news not for money alone because I have after strenuous efforts concluded that a comfortable living cannot be made in this field and according to my present intentions, will drop it altogether in a few weeks and give my attention to something more payable, but since I am in the work, I shall be pleased to know that I am bringing things to pass; that will mean the more for my eternity. Therefore, be it properly conceived and conceive that my chief aim is to encourage and cheerish brotherly love in all the ways I can, to every body I can, everywhere I can, and every time I can. A few years ago a policeman shouted to a boy in the canal at Preston, England. "Hell lo! Why are you bathing there? "I'm not, the led elkouted; "I'm drowning." Then the officer rescued him of course. Many people who are supposed to be having a good time in the world are realizing their lives. It is the privilege and duty of Christ's forces to rescue them. If you suspect, you are suspected; if you love, you are loved; if you hate, you are hated. Fretting is a confession of weakness; it is like the little dog nawing and whining at a door because he can't get in. You need not dodge the sue if you are guilty of non-support of brotherly love. There are some who value knocking as the capita idea. For Christ's sake don't be a knocker; for you can't saw wood with a hammer. If you cannot do
TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR
You Need a Real Scalp Food.
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 perfumed methylene Quinol, a medicated poison that has stood the rest of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair.
To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair and fuffs apart, refreshing feathers to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstry or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from the wholesaler or send them to you. Write to New York City, Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv.

OUR TATTERED FLAGS.
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high
It was John A. Dix who said, "if any one attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot," but there are American flags, or remnants of what once were American flags, flying from Nashville flagstaffs which ought to be hauled down at once. There are times when it is to the interest of patriotism to haul down the American flag. One of those times is when the flag, after long exposure to the elements, torn by the wind to a mere shred, discolored by coal smoke, faded by rain and sun, has become a mere rag, a pathetic reminder of the glorious banner which is the emblem of our country. It is singular how careless of the proprieties civilians become in their treatment of the flag. Some of these faded remnants of the stars and stripes which flutter pathetically from Nashville flagstaffs have been in their places for months, day and night, in all kinds of weather. No one has had enough regard for them as flags, not enough reverence for them, to bring them in during stormy weather, or at night, or to haul them down, when they became unit for further use and give them reverent interment. How careless we are in some of these little niceties of patriotism! The loyalty which inspires the display of the flag we all recognize and appreciate, but what shall we say of the heedlessness, the thoughtlessness, which permits the abuse of the flag through indolence pr neglect? What inspiration there is in the respectful, reverent demeanor of the soldier and the sailor toward the flag. Why should not civilians cultivate that spirit of respect and reverence? Ay, let us tear down some of these tattered ensigns which long have waved on high, and which indict our sense of the fitness of things. Better a bare staff than a bedraggled banner. How are we to teach or compel respect for the flag if we do not respect it ourselves?
WHERE WE FAIL
The chances are that everybody in Nashville capable of intelligent thinking has remarked to himself or his wife or his neighbor that buying thrift stamps represents a corking idea. The chances also are that not more than one-fourth, or perhaps a tenth, of those who have thus spoken have any thrift stamps to their credit.
The thrift stamp campaign is said to have been fairly successful. But the most limited inquiry in any Nashville group convinces one that it has been only fractionally successful, as compared to what it ought to have been. There is just one thing responsible for that, and it is the inertia of the average man and woman. It is the miserable human habit of procrastination.
Everybody says the thrift stamp plan is splendid, that it will advantage the government and that both immediately and in the future it will advantage the individual. Everybody thereupon resolves to buy some stamps or to start baby with a collection of them, and then forgets about it. Forgetting about oblivious and profitable duties will not win the war, will not develop as it ought to be developed the habit of honest thrift, and will not entitle any man or woman to a sense of having done the right thing.
Talk about thrift stamps. Recommend thrift stamps. Then buy thrift stamps. If you don't do the last thing all the rest are hollow.
One thing that has been worrying us is what are we going to do about medicine for snake bites with all
the whiskey liable to be used up early next year? We have not been bitten by a snake, but what is to hinder a snake from grabbing us by the hind leg and running off with us at any time and no snake bite remedy within miles of us? Many times, while no snake has bit, we are liable to have a premonition that one is going to bite, which is exactly as bad as being bitten. Think of the hours of disquietude that we may undergo with the feeling certain that a large rattlesnake is going to bite us and not a bit of remedy available. Darn it all! Well, we are going to try an experiment. They say that thoroughest tea is just as good. We are going to buy ten gallons of thoroughest and begin right off while it is cold and when it gets warm we can drink a pint or more a day and we will soon be immune from snake bite. By jingo, that is going to be a big thing.
THE GOVERNOR.
Tennessee has a governor who claims he has no power to stop mot murder. God pity old Tennessee. But we are of the opinion that the governor's conclusions are far-fetched and that the chief executive of the state is negligent of his sworn duties. If his excellency has ever demanded an investigation of this most barbarous affair, nobody has ever heard of it. Three burnings have taken place since Rye has been governor, but no one has ever heard of him trying to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Make Tennessee safe for democracy as well as the world, Mr. Governor.
Verily, Tennessee has the weakest man in the governor's chair since the days of the late Pete Turney.
Farmer, spare that hen! All she asks in the spring is a few leaves or a little grass in some dark corner, and she'll have as much fire stealing her nest and raising a brood of young chicks as a small boy ever had stealing apples. Give her a chance.
Juding by the illustrations on magazine covers, the war seems to be relected in women's dresses. And in case the modestes are at a loss for a name for their gowns they might just call them "Over the top."

Frazier we are always glad to have you in our midst. If you want to be spiritually fed, don't fail to attend the prayer meetings at the Baptist church every Wednesday night, the members of this church are planning a big rally to come off in the near future. Washington's birthday was celebrated at the A. M. E. Church Friday night a beautiful program was rendered, conducted by Mrs. Chas. Cooper and Mrs. T. G. White.

Last Thursday night, little Benjamin Franklin age 11 months and 2 days son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hawke passed from this land of sorrow and suffering to his home beyond the skies. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the grief stricken parents but again we know we'll meet him when the cares of life have fled. Then in heaven with joy to greet him where no farewell tears are shed.

Friends from far and near were present at the funeral services. Miss Kate McGrew spent Monday with her sister-in-law, helping her in various ways. For comfort in the hour of trial and sorrow, read Matt the 5th chapter, 11th and 12th verses. Mr. Edd Cowan, D. Martin and Ellis Scott of Fairfield were here Saturday on business.

MT. NEBO.
Having realized that the hard winter is about over, the sisters of the Mt. Nebo Baptist church are getting together and endeavoring to put new life into their mission society. Our work was divided into three casses by the pastor. Mrs. Vilo Martin 1st Vice President. Teacher of class No. 1, Mrs. Laura Brooks 2nd Vice President. Teacher of class No. 2, Mrs. D. D Crowder, 3rd Vice President. Teacher of class No. 3. Each teacher is working to make her class the largest. Each President will preside once a month.

Thomas. We were delighted to have encouraging remarks by the following visitors: Mesdames Buchanan, Phillips and Rev. Mrs. Allen Visitors are always welcome.
BETHLEHEM HOUSE NOTES.
A splendid company of interested people both among the colored and the white race attended the open meeting of the Bethlehem House Board last Friday afternoon in the parlor of the Bethlehem House.
Mrs. A. B Smith, the president of the board, is in the chair. The devotional was given by S. L. McDowell of the First Baptist Church followed by a prayer by Rev. W. R. Stephens.
The reports of the regularly employed workers were then read, each telling of the work of the year. Miss Haskin, the head worker showed the scope the work and how the organized work of the Bethlehem House is extended over the entire city; she also spoke of the co-operative work which is being carried on with Fisk University, Walden University, the Negro Public Library, The Public Welfare League, the City Playground Commission, the local Red Cross Organization and the Young Women's Christian Association. This larger work has been made possible by the splendid and efficient service of about twenty-five colored women organized into committees.
Following Miss Haskin's report, Miss Olmstead the friendly visitor told something of her work in visiting in the homes. Nearly seven hundred visits had been made during the year in the homes of the community. These included visits to the sick, shut-ins, new members, absentees and to families need.
Miss Harrison the kindergarten gave a very interesting report of the work done with the little ones and spoke of the children who were unable to go in the winter months because of lack of warm clothing and shoes.
Mrs. Sallie Sawyers, the house mother, reported 5519 callers at the settlement during the year, some who had dropped in for a friendly visit others in need of advice or help in other ways.
Mrs. Julia Williams, president of the Mothers Club at the Bethlehem House, gave a brief report of the year's work and of their splendid help in raising funds to support the work of the kindergarten. Mrs. Williams is also one of the volunteer workers of the Juvenile Court and is thoroughly acquainted with its different phases.
Miss Marian Hadley, chairman of the Girl's work told in a very interesting way of the work done in the Forward Quest, Club, which has a membership now of 121 girls; at the conclusion of her report, three of the members of that club rendered a trio, "I'm going to do all I can for my Lord."
Mrs. T. J. Elliott, president of the Mothers' Club in South Nashville; new extension work opened up by the Bethlehem House, gave a glowing account of their work in the few months they have been in existence. They have raised to support the work of the sewing school out there which meets every Saturday morning in the grade building of Walden University; this school each has an enrollment of 75 and an average attendance of 60.
Mr. Bishop Scott, then told as chairman of the Mill Work Committee out the noon day services held for the colored girls and women in the Mayes Hosiery mill each Friday.
Mrs. P. R. Burrus, chairman of the Bible Class Committee urged any who had the time to take advantage of the splendid study of the book of Acts under the teaching of Miss G. E. Wade of the Y. W. C. A.; she also spoke of the Red Cross work that was being done at the Bethlehem House as their head quarters. Dr. G. E. Haynes of Fisk University addressed the meeting, telling of the work of the Welfare League which is very closely associated with the Bethlehem House, the employment bureau having its office in the settlement. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. M. Smith, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church.
KENTUCKY NEXT
The Southern States are waking up to the menace and the reproach of litteracy. They had been laggards. They had been comfortable in their neglect of the matter. What opinion could they have against opinion only could find no good reason why
"education should be forced" on these neglected children of the state, many of them full-grown, but found a certain private profit in their ignorance The man, the woman, or the child who can neither read nor write is the easiest to honeyfugle and to exploit. We are glad to find South Carolina waking up. Four years ago a local option compulsory attendance law was passed. It has worked so well that it is now proposed to sanction exemption only to such districts as seek to have exemption for no more than one year. This radical move provokes the Columbia State to the declaration that one of the compulsory school attendance no democracy is safe * * * and one fifth of the people of South Carolina are illiterate. Many more are nearly illiterate.
In South Carolina—a commonwealth for whose original point of view we can, without agreeing with it, have the greatest respect—such a change of heart is nothing short of revolutionary. When it reaches the point of view of willingness to provide the necessary care for the poor our eyes and wonder it, actually, this is our glorious old friend of sacred memories.
It is certainly not Kentucky. No bond issue for Kentucky to raise her disgraceful status and to improve those standards about which her ambitions are so lamentably low. Not a bit of it. Quite the other way around, in point of fact. The commission created in 2014 enjoyed a beggarly allowance of $5,000 for two years. At this present time, as we understand it, it hasn't a cent. What other activities are granted we do not grudge them if they need them. We need a good and profitable use of it. But all that in no way affects—certainly it does not negative—the case of our illiterates.
According to the census of 1910 Kentucky stood thirty-seventh from the top, and, that she did not stand lower, was due to the Negroes. Taking native whites alone she ranked fifth from the bottom; taking native male whites she ranked third. We do not know what arguments can be needed after such a showing as that. We are surprised that any should be needed and we would urge, if urging could avail, that the bills already introduced in the General Assembly to provide funds for the employment of county agents, who shall be also county truant officers, may pass. It is the method that, on extended experience, has been found to work best. I ought certainly not be permitted to starve to death.
The Southern States, we repeat, are waking up. South Carolina takes up her burden. North Carolina follows suit, and in Virginia a bill has passed the House of Delegates as to which the Richmond Times rejoices that, if passed by the eGneraly Assembly, it "Will mark a new epoch in the educational life of the Old Dominion." Kentucky next.
Louisville Herald.
"JIM CROW LAW GIVEN COUNCIL
Ordnance would Separate Whites and
Blacks on Street Cars.
Louisville Herald:
Surprise was caused in the Board
of Aldermen at its meeting last night
by the introduction of an ordinance by
Alderman Hill requiring the Louisville
Railway Company to provide separate
seats for white and colored passengers
on street cars.
The three last cross seats and the
seats parallel to the aisle in the rear
part of cars shall be reserved for Negroes, according to the measure, which
also requires that signs be placed in
the cars calling attention to the ordinance. Another provision of the
measure is that both whites and blacks
shall board the cars at the rear end,
but white whites shall leave them
at the front end exclusively, the blacks
must use the rear end to alight from
the cars.
One paragraph of the ordinance prescribes that there shall be no crowding in the aisles, but the wording of the provision is somewhat indefinite. No passengers shall be taken on after all the seats have been occupied and standing room has been taken by a reasonably well-equipped senger service, but shall not be so occupied as to interfere with the easy passage through the aisles by passengers. A fine of from $25 to $100 is provided for violation of the ordinance.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
On motion of Alderman Mason the measure was referred to the Railroad Committee. A short time ago a similar ordinance was introduced by Alderman Zeiser, but before it could be reported on by the Railroad Committee it was withdrawn. It was predicted last night that Mr. Hill's ordinance never would be passed by the board.

WALDEN UNIVERSITY.
Walden University was visited by Rev, J. A. Bray Tuesday morning, and was favored with an excellent address on Preparedness which was well received by both faculty and students. Dr. Bray is connected with the Educational Department of the C. M. T. (Church) and was en route to Louisville, Ky. Dr. E. A. White, the president, will leave the city Friday evening for a ten days' stay in the state of Kentucky, in the interest of the school. He is doing a great work and never grows tired.

RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF DEACON REUBIN. WADE.
In the spring time a flower cometh forth, and it grows year after year until the grim reaper of death comes and cut it down. So it was with the dear one. Year after year he would bloom in the cause of Christ, but finally the great monster of death has come and taken him away.
Deacon Reubin Wade was a true, faithful and loyal member of the 15th Ave., Baptist Church. He was the oldest deacon of the church having served for 31 years. He ever stood ready to do whatever he could for his church both spiritually and financially. In the passing away of him the deacon board has lost one of the greatest links in their chair. He was a back bone to the church. May the deacon board and members of this church wear a breast plate in memory of him, with this beautiful inscription "Gone but not forgotten."
His chair is vacant, his place will be hard to fill.
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to take from our midst this one brother and deacon, be it.
Resolved. That the deacon board and members of this church ever cherish his loving memory and that with this bereaved family we bow in humble submission to the will of him who doeth all things well, be it.
Further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions- be placed on the minutes of this church, a copy sent to the bereaved family, and acopy sent to the Nashville Globe.
Sleep on thou most loved and beautiful, Sleep and take your rest.
You labored with us from time to time, You toiled and did your best.
O sleep, peaceful be thy rest,
You've joined that heavenly band
Where God and all his angels dwell,
In that holy, happy land.

Perman lent by the Secretary and Personnel have been sent out to a large number of ministers, business and professional men, and to a few prominent business white men, seeking their co-operation in directing the young men's attention to the advantages of the Young Men's Christian Association.
A folder is being sent out by the Colored Association, setting forth some reasons why even the very best training camp prospects should join the Young Men's Christian Association. According to this folder, the young man who says, "I would join the Y', but in a few days, or weeks at best, I will save for the training camp," has not yet done that. The very fact that he is looking forward to entering upon military service is the strongest possible reason for connecting himself with the Association. The folder contains vurs of scenes in France—"Our men landing in France to whom the Association gets there first"—10,000 aviation men in massed calligraphy drill—Kelly Field, Texas, and a wrestling match at Camp Kerny, San Diego. In the savings of this folder: "The 'Y's' position is confined to the home town." "The 'Ys' usefulness is known the world over." "Not only at home, but the 'Y' is both in the camps and at the front.

The folder is considered not only very attractive, but as having an unanswerable argument against young men leaving home without an Association membership ticket as a letter of introduction. The class of fellows that is thought most desirable for membership at the present are also the young men candidates for military service. It is the local Colored "Y" that no a single young man will leave Nashville for the camps without first connecting himself with the home Association.
Monday Night 8:00 O'Clock Basket
BaU
The Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball team and the State Normal team will meet in the Association gymnasium Monday night, Mar. 4, at 8 o'clock. The indications point to a most interesting game between these two teams. There will be a small charge of 15c admission. Gentlemen and ladies are invited to be present. It is conceded that the "Y" has the finest gymnasium floor of any colored institution in the city.
Dr. Chas, E. Barker in Nashville Mar. 3-10, 1918.

Dr. Barker is here through the influence of the Nashville Central Young Men's Christian Association. The Colored Branch was nominated by institutional services for the above institutions.

The addresses will be from 30 to 40 minutes long.

‘Hast Nastville, and Baltorlal Seer:
tary of the National Baptist Publish-
ing Board of the National Baptist Con:
voution (ualneorporates.)
1 want to call your attention to the
Words of the Lord as found in Luke 15:
18, “I will arise and go to my Father
and will say unto him, Father, T have
sinned against heaven and ‘against
thee.”
When 1 think of the prodigal son,
I think of a beautiful country home
surrounded by the beautiful green
grass, where the sun can shine and
the wind ean blow and where you can
work and nature smiles upon you. A
country home, where father is kind
and true andnoble and great and where
mother reigns supreme, reading her
Bible with the children .and guiding
them in paths of right living, In con-
nection with this home comes to my
mind the words of the poet, when he
says:
“How dear to my heart are the scenes
of my childhood,
When fond recollections present them
to view
‘The orchard the meadow, the deeb
tangled wildwood
And every loved spot which my tn
fancy knew.”
A pleasant country home! With
‘good food and plenty of fresh air.
Whore you can quench your thirst
from the “Old oaken bucket that hung
inthe well.”
When 1 think of this parable I think
‘of a home mado up of father, mother
and two boys. Joyous laughing boys,
“wrestlifis boys, skipping boys, boxing
‘doys, swimming boys. Boys into. all
sorts of mischief, ‘Throwing rocks,
chasing the neighbors chickens, mak
ing life miserable for ail the animals
in tho neighborhood. Just boys that's
aultt
mates the heart of every true mother
‘and father and their prayer is that
jevery child tn the home, after the
have received their education, should
have a strong and sturdy character
‘and that they may be able to live and
‘servo and do much good in thelr day
and generation,
"You will notice that one ot thos
boys loves to make new acquaintances
‘He loves to shear the fascinating stor
‘les of elty life, likes to come in any
‘time of night and day, He likes to
eat well and dross well and in every

more clothes to wear and can go to

please, while he has to be tied to your |
apron’ string. He is tired of it and
Wont stand it any longer.
‘The prodigal son says to his father,
“1 want to go out in life and see
things for myself, Give me the por-
tion of, goods that fall to. me and tet
me go,” and the Bible tells us that he
divided unto them his living. Not the
son's living for he had not worked and
accumulated any thing. He had al-
‘ways been a dependent. He was simp-
ly the heir to his fathers living. But
the living that the father had tolled
for. Th efather divided unto his two
sons, his living.
T imagine that this boy received his
portion unthanktully, and turned his
back upon the home of his ehidhood
‘and went out into the world of sin,
to make his own way. You ask me
what sin is and [ will tell you that it
fs the awiul power that drags young
mien and young women from the in-
ftuence of « good home from all that
{is pure and noble and uplifting, from
‘a life of hope and grace and’ leads
them into all that is bad and degrad-
ing and leaves them a vagabond and a
ereattire without character. But you
do not have to take my word for it,
Suppose we call witness, What is sin,
Notice Hzektel 18:4 and you will find
that, “the soul that sinneth, it shall
die.” James the apostle tells us that
“sin bringeth forth death.” we will
ask the apostle Paul for he of all the
posites should know for before Christ
inet him on the way to Damascus he
‘was the chfef of sinners and he will
tell you that “the wages of sin is
death.”
No man works unless he'knows the
wages he is to get. ‘There is being
built in Nashville now a mammoth
powder plant and Black men and
white men are being called upon to
work. ‘The very first question asked
by the men is "What are you going to

“Well I ain't kwine to earry you across

And so it i8 with my’ people or any

with you for the Bible tells us that
fhere arose a mighty famine in that
and
‘A mnighty famine arose in the and
and the prodigal so. had spent his
fist dollar, In studying this story
am more and more of the opinion
hat the prodigal had not only spent
nis last dollar but he had spent more
fhan that, He had spent alt he pos-
cessed. His money was gone and his
nealth was gone, his good name was
gone and instead ot the handsome,
nealthy, robust, noble pure young fel
low who had Jett bis fathers house a
short while ago he was physically
weak. Tmmorality, vice and late hours
had sapped his strength and he is now
2 puny viclous and ordinary tramp
in a land suffering from a famine, a
ireary, parching, awful famine that
hung like a pali over the country
destroying life and carrying sucering
and death in its wake to every living
thing.
‘And the prodigal began to be in
want, No money, no health. he did
not know where he would spend the
night, He goes to his wicked com-
panions auid tries to borrow from them
put they laugh him to scorn. “No
money,” they sal “well that is tough.
Thought you were rich, ‘Tell, your
troubles (0 gome one else don't tell
them to me.” And the prodigal hires
himself (oa farmer in that country
to feed swine, When you remember
that the prodigal son was a Jew and
that the Jews had nothing for a
sivine to do you will see. Just, how
complete was the degradation of this
youg man, 1 have always. thought
that this man did not even hire the
prodigal son but that the boy just
attached himself to him by hanging
around the barn and begging food.
The man would not give him food be
catise food was scarce but contempting:
iy offered him the job to look atter
the swine, perhaps to rid himself ot
his company. But the prodigal was
in desperate straits and accepts the
proposition.
Night comes on. ‘The prodigal lays
himself down to sleep by the swine
though Ike Jacob of old he has a stone
under his head for a pillow and he
dreams, He dreams that he is at
home, It is meal time, non time in
the country, ‘The horns are blowing
and the whistles can be heard in the
distance, Father and the other
brothers have brought the horses to
the barn. ‘The geese are cackling,
the ducks are crying. ‘The old gate
creaks with a loud noise as it swings
on its rusty hinges, It is dinner time
and all the live stock are anxiously
awaiting their portion. ‘The smell of
the food reaches the barn, Father and
the elder brother and the prodigal go
to the house, They are seated at the
table, ‘The ple such as only mother
can make cools on the table. They
bow thelr head. Father says grace.
The prodigal is just about to pass bis
plate for mother to serve him. The
fiream vanishes, ‘The night is dark
about him, the earth 1s parched, the
Winds are howling, his stomach is
empty. he thinks of the meals mother
used to prepare. The tender lamb,

Washin
The 17th Pres.
Association, composed of the
officers who received military training at
the Officers Training Camp at Fort
Des Mothes, Iowa, June 15 to October
15, 1917, has presented to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, a heavy gold
monogrammed ring, designed by the Association. The ring bears the insignia of the Association, surrounding the letters "U. S. A." Raised
eagles, with the coat-of-arms of the
United States, support the Seal on
either side.
By reason of the sentiment attaching to the gift and the fact that it will serve as a souvenir that may be handed down as a family heirloom, Mr. Scott values it very highly, and is deeply touched by this additional evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the gallant men of Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines. His visit to this hallowed ground, as the bearer of a message of cheer from the Secretary of War, was the first official act of his honored and helpful career in connection with the War Department.
MISS WATERS NOT TO TEACH AT HOWARD.
Washington, D. C., Fo. 19—Miss Phyllis Wheatley Waters, the gifted daughter of Col. and Mrs. Phil Waters, of Charleston, W. Va., was recently appointed instructor in French at Howard University. She was named by President Newman upon the recommendation of Judge Atkinson, of the Howard Board of Education, by the endorsement of Senator Howard Sutherland, of West Virginia, and Prof. L. B. Moore, dean of Teachers' College of Howard University. It is to be regretted, however, that Miss Walters has been compelled to decline the assignment, for the reason that she is under contract as associate principal of the High School at Gary, Ind., and a special instructor at the University of City, and the Gary Board of Education finds it impossible to release their star teacher at this time.
Miss Waters is an honor graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and during her career in the high school and at the University she made a brilliant record as an athlete and for a number of terms was captain of the basket ball team. She enjoys the distinction of being the first colored girl in the history of the University of Michigan to win her in athletics, and she was no less proficient in her scholastic triumph. The social and intellectual life of Washington will suffer a great loss in the inability of Miss Waters to come to the capital at this time.

NEGROES PROTEST TO WILSON AND RYE.
New York, Feb. 18.—(Special to the Globe.)—President Wilson, through J. P. Tumulty, Secretary to the President, acknowledged the receipt of the Association's telegram of protest of the 13th inst., against the torturing and at Estill Springs, Tenn., and said that the matter would be brought to the attention of the Attorney General. The following letter was sent to Governor Rye of Tennessee: Honorable T. C. Rye, Governor, Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Sir: I wired you yesterday in a night letter from Washington as follows:
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking in the name of its ninety branches and of the thousand members, called the behalf of the nation, on zenith of the whole country, appeals to you to take action to bring to justice the perpetrators of the foul wrong against the honor of your State in lynching and torturing on Tuesday night Jim M'Ilberon, a Negro accused of murder. Thousands of colored men in your state and the nation now serving their country in the murder of a swain Tennessee's answer to their appeal for justice at home."
This Association, composed of representative citizens of both races, believes that such outrages as the one against which we protest are independible at any time but are particularly offensive and dangerous to the public welfare when the nation is engaged in a life and death struggle against autocratic powers. Such outrages as this, the third one to occur in your state within nine months, place America in an unenviable position when she seeks to protest, however rightfully, against Belgian atrocities committed by German soldiers.
Memphis, Dyersburg and now Estill Springs. We ask, for the information of the newspapers receiving our press service, what the great state of Tennessee proposes to do in regard to the violators of her law. I am sure that it is your desire to put the best police and detective ability that can be secured on the trail of these violators of public order. Should lack of funds be an embarrassment to you, this Association offers to put at your disposel funds for this service.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)

MEIGS SCHOOL.
On account of the extremely cold weather the Parent-Teachers' Association of Meigs School has been seriously handicapped in holding its meetings this winter. Since is organization four years ago, this association has been a source of great help to the unfortunate children living in the vicinity. Each year a concert is given, the proceeds of which are turned over to the treasury. The money has been used to improve sanitary conditions at the school and to purchase shoes and other clothing for indigent children whose humble circumstances would have forced them to remain out of school had it not been for the aid thus furnished. Sometimes ago the Association placed two modern drinking fountains on the school grounds and this we feel
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 1, 1918
has been a great safeguard to the health of the children. Each year between forty and fifty children have been provided with necessary clothing. During the past four years the organization has spent approximately four hundred dollars. We feel that this body is meeting the needs set forth in the community, for throuston its activities many destitute homes have been reached in a sympathetic and helpful way. It is our hope that the work may continue to grow and that more parents and friends may become actively interested in what we are doing to benefit the children. In these strenuous times through which we are passing, let us serve our country by training the boys and girls in the arts and by constantly holding up before them the beauty of rendering service to others.

Banks, of Mound Bayou, was a student. Mrs. Banks is still in Bessemer, the queen of her sister, and it is reported that Dr. Gregg is now entirely out of danger.
THE PRICE OF WAR.
I wonder where did Mr. Hoover
Ever get that notion.
To gather all the meat and lard
To send across the ocean?
Its meatless days and wheatless days,
You hear from morn til night,
And everywhere a Hoover card,
A hanging in your sight.
Its lightless days, no city's bright
As once they used to be,
And everybody just a knitting,
Fast as they can be.
A nickle won't buy nothing now,
Without the extra penny,
Just think, the worst is yet to come,
This only the beginning.
And eggs, they are so blessed high
Poor folks don't dare to buy them,
And shoes, dear things, not less than
five,
I just can't hardly wear them.
They say it takes all this to win.
They say it takes all this to win.
But right, not so this here thing could
But right now this here thing could
and so far I'm concerned.

THE HOARDING RULE DOES NOT
APPLY TO HOMES.
We are glad to see that the Food Administration at Washington hastens to correct a misapprehension created among housewives and consumers by the order with regard to "hoarding" more than thirty days' supplies issued on January 12. That order was intended to apply mainly to dealers, manufacturers, wholesale and retail grocers, hotels and restaurants, and not to the private housekeeper. The Food Administration desires especially to emphasize the fact that the order has no bearing whatever on canned goods which housekeepers put up last summer and fall, and which they still have on hand. They were urged to as much as could food as possible, and as much as a ton of it in a private parry it will not be disturbed. Housewives have a right to sell these goods, or to hold on to them as long as they please. There is no reason why they should part with them if they prefer to keep them. And the Government wants them to resume canning this year and to add to their stock without fear of interference. The larger the amount of canned goods put up by housekeepers the better off their families will be and the better off the country will be. If they have more than they need they can always find a ready market for them, and thus add to their household incomes and to the food supply of the nation. The misinterpretation of housekeeping unnatural in view of its rather general phraseology, but the thing for the housewife to remember now is that her canned goods are absolutely safe and that they do not come within the purview of the hoarding order.
Nor is there any intention of giving a drastic application to the clause of the order which prohibits the purchase by consumers of more than the usual amount of food. In point of fact cities often have a week's supply of food on hand, and in the country his pantry has usually to be restocked

It is gunning for the big foe who makes a business of foodselling and who may be self-selfly inlined to corner the products in which they are interested.
The average consumer has been the real patron all along. The Government does not have to put the screws on him. Mr. Hoover comes to him or to her hat in hand, with "please," not "must." And he is going to make another appeal to you, sir, and to you, madame, to eat still less four and still less meat in order that he may respond to the calls for help that are coming to us from Great Britain and France.

Dr. Bray is known as one of the most scholarly and fluent pulpit orators of the Negro race. He is said to be easily one of the strongest and best men of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. He has the reputation of a high-minded, progressive leader who keeps abreast of the times. He has covered the entire field of effort necessary to fit a minister to the bishopric in the C. Church and become known throughout the country as one of the strongest possibilities for election at the General Conference of the C. M. E. Church at St. Louis in May.
The themes of Faithfulness, Preparedness, Efficiency and Consecration characterized the sermon he delivered at Capers Chapel last Sunday morning, and the addresses delivered at Walden and Meharry, where Dr. Bray visited and spoke to students at the Farmers' Conference at Lane College, Jackson, Teen. It is generally expected that Dr. Bray will get the largest vote for the bishopric of any one considered for that high office at the Conference in May. Many of the strongest and largest conferences are said to be favoring the election of Dr. Bray. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and a post-graduate student of Harvard University. Dr. Bray has been a successful teacher, edifor, pastor and college president. He fills a large and responsible position as a general officer of the C. M. E. Church with office and residence at Birmingham, Alabama.

Mr. George Henry Cummings departed this life to be a c. m. He was married to Mrs. Fence Cheatham of Nashville in November, where he made his home. He underwent an operation at McMillan's hospital, Nashville, and then was removed to his mother's home when the end came. He
professed a hope in Christ. He called his mother to his bedside and told her he was happy. He did not know what to do. He praised the Lord till he was so weak he could not say any more. He leaves to mourn their loss a mother, wife, two children, three brothers and one sister. The funeral services were conducted at his home by the Rev. With Cannon. Burial at Mt. Ararat Ceme.

Every twinkle of these stars represents hardship, sacrifice and self-denial, represents undying love, devotion and loyalty to the stars and stripes. Yes, they represent the onward and upward march of the new Negro, who no pleads for the mercy and pity of the world, but, with a sound body, a cultured hind and an independent spirit, asks for a man's chance.

The President received the delegation cordially and granted them an afternoon lasting half an hour. He assured them of effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would give the whole matter his sympathetic attention. A surprising incident at the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything about the Estill Springs burning. He asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that could hardly believe it true that such thing had happened. The delegation confirmed that not only was it true in the case at Estill Springs, but that similar incidents had happened at Memphis, Tenn., and Dyersburg, Tenn., also.

Democracy in spirit and practice, as well as in theory and name, is the only form of democracy that can hope to endure the ages; all other forms must perish from the earth, must tortor to their fall and great will be their fall.
Only a few days ago, when the Meharry Colleges had been transformed into a veritable recruiting station, which persisted one of the most impressive scenes that has ever been mine to behold, the flower of the young manhood of our race in this country placed their lives upon the altar of their country, a strange thought suggested itself—What a pity, what a shame, what an outrage upon human justice would it be should those who write the history of the future fail to record the part which the men of my race are playing in an effort to save the world for democracy. Before retiring that night I wrote down just a few words in rhyme, with which I shall close these few remarks.
though mighty is he,
of men who are free?
ts, which are just to disclaim,
and their souls too with shame?
life's blood be poured,
will be fair to the sword.
d I a foe,
banner old Glory says go,
galaxy won,
ed for gold and for gain,
here her precepts are stored.
will be fair to the sword.
d lifted the curse,
and raised them from serf,
sounds on the air,
d bids them to dare,
health that is hoard.
will be fair to the sword.
dts that are past,
n and bind me to task,
traitor nor slacker,
th the color be black,
the shells to explode,
will be fair to the sword.
President Hubbard, directed by the members of the Alumni Association, I now take very great pleasure in presenting to you this emblem, made possible by the loyal sons whom this institution has sent forth into the world to serve mankind. I thank you.
When Dr. Taylor had finished, the mammoth audience was in his possession, but the climax was not reached however until the service was honored by two McMahry students and the two large electric lights blazed upon them. The flag unfurled, the audience is stood while the McMahry quartette led in

singing "America." At the conclusion a short talk was made by President McKenzie of Fisk University who said:
Mr. President, fellow educators of the Press, ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad indeed to be here this afternoon to express my own interest in the raising of the Service I扎s of Meharry Medical College and to bring with me the congratulations of Fisk University. I broke two important engagements in order that I might be here.
I am interested in your Flag event as I am interested in our Flag. At Fisk we have something over seventy stars and shall have more and more stars to go by. Whether in the end we shall have more stars than Meharry I cannot tell; this I do know—that some of your stars are our stars also. If it were not for Fisk you would not have some of your stars.
The raising of the Service Flag at our institutions brings to us a unity of spirit which is symbolic of the fact that unity in this world consists first 'the unity of a common goal, rather than in the unity of affairs as they exist at the present moment. Having turned our eyes to the goal beyond we forget the minor differences. There have been times in the history of our institutions when competition in athletic affairs has been far from introducing unity into our relationship. But as we have seen and as our minds centered on the challenges they represent we develop a unity of spirit which has never before been equalled. Like your President, I too hope that there may develop a closer relationship between our institutions than ever existed in the former golden days of Cravath and Hubbard.
The raising of the Meharry Flag and the Fisk Flag is only a part of the thought in my mind today, for undoubtedly there is a Walden Service Flag, and a Roger Williams Service Flag and throughout our Southern lands there is a Flag representative of every colored school, indicative of the unity of purpose prevailing throughout all our schools. And I look beyond the colored schools and I see the Service Flag in the United schools throughout the whole United States, and I see the common purpose of all our schools colored and white at all, the common goal, the common ambition of them all. And beyond the schools, I see the churches with their Flags, industry with its Flags, and I behold a unity of the Nation, and such as a Nation we never knew before. Nor do we stop with the Nation, for across the seas on every hand in east and west, north and south, we see the Flags of nearly all the countries of the world, raising with our Flag to express a unity undreamed of, undreamed of by men even in this our great twentieth century. And as we watch these Flags representative of the unity within the Nation and the unity between the Nations, we are reminded of the day when there shall no longer be Jew or Gentle, bond or free and before our eyes there rises in the view that Flag which was suggested by little at all, who looked out the window at night and mother that God was putting on His Service Flag in the sky. For it is the Flag of God, as it is the Flag of humanity, which we are raising over the nations of the world, a Flag binding together the nation and the hearts of men the globe around a flag sacred because it represents the common aspirations of men everywhere.
And in conclusion, let me suggest that out of that future unity, out of that unity of a common purpose, out of that unity of a divine goal and ambition, there will come back to us in our nearby, everyday life a unity which shall do away with the divisions now so common and so costly among us—the divisions of denominations, of sects, of classes, of states

and nations, these shall all disappear. For the great Service Flag designed by the Father above is raised to represent the new brotherhood of man in the new federation of the world. Mr. J. C. Napier spoke as follows: Mr. President, Members of the Press Association, ladies and gentlemen:
I deem it a great privilege to be permitted to say a word to you on this occasion on behalf of the Board of Trustees of Meharry Medical College. That this college has enlisted in our National Army eighty-seven of its alumni and students is no small things to boast of. The Board trustees are as proud of this military force as they are of the many successes accomplished of these men in the Civil and Medical world. These stars represent the patriotism of the whole school and emphasize the fact that all the rest are ready and willing to offer their services, their blood and their lives whenever their country calls. Not only is this the sentiment of the student body, but if necessary the faculty, headed by our beloved president is willing whenever occasion demands, to do as he has done in the past, shoulder our guns and go forth to fight our country, in the behalf of liberty, freedom and democracy, and world we go we shall remain in the trenches until the world is safe and grounded and rooted in a democracy which means freedom, liberty, equality and a fair deal for every man of every race on the face of earth.
We love peace as much and perhaps more than any other group of people in the world but now that the fight has begun the battle is on, it is our purpose, our determination to remain in it until the cause of democracy is crowned with victory the day and until the hydra headed monster of both peace is driven completely out of every part of our beloved land both north and south.
It is most fitting that the unfurling of this Service Flag has taken place in the presence of the National Negro Press Association now holding its sessions in this city. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I wish to thank these gentlemen for their presence with us on this occasion as well also for the long and continued fight that they have put through all these years in behalf of human rights and against the many wrongs that our race has so long and so patiently borne.
Our sincere thanks are also due the Nashville Banner for its recent strong and bold editorials against lynching and for its course in properly spelling the word Negro with a capital N.
The Hon. Judge M. T. Bryant was present, and on invitation spoke of his pleasure of witnessing this occasion, declaring that both his ancestors were southerners by birth, questioning sympathy. He said he was glad to see the loyal support given by Meharry to the service of the country, and assured them that they have his best wishes for their success in this great struggle for the support of Democracy throughout the entire world.
Rev. Henry Allen Boyd then spoke briefly and introduced the Hon. W. E. King, Editor of the Dallas Express, Dallas, Texas, who had been selected by the National Negro Press Association as its representative. He spoke of his personal acquaintance with Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson, who have during the past year given $10,000 toward the erection of the Anderson Anatomical Hall, and his knowledge of a large number of the Meharry graduates and the good students in their different fields of labor. He congratulated the president and institution on the number of stars shown on the Service Flag, and expressed his belief that they would make an honorable record for themselves, their Alma Mater and their race.
