COMMISSIONERS MAKE STATEMENT OF N. B. CONV'S
TERMS OF AGREEMENT AS GIVEN
—HARMONIOUS MEETING AT
MEMPHIS—"BLESSED ARE THE
PEACE MAKERS."
Statement of Commissioners of the
National Baptist Convention (unin-
corporated.)
Submitted to the joint meeting of
Commissioners of the Southern Baptist
Convention, the National Baptist
Convention (incorporated) and the
National Baptist Convention (unin-
corporated) at Memphis, Tenn., Mar.
194th, 1918.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children of
God."
"Behold, how good and how pleas-
ant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity."
"In love of the brethren be tender-
ly affectionated one to another; in
love preferring one another."
To Baptists now assembled in "Peace Conference" in Memphis, and to all whom they represent; to Dr. J. B. Gambrel, president of the Southern Baptist Convention and Dr. O. L. Hally, secretary of the Meditation Committee, Revs. Boone, Barton, Cox, Atty, Atkins, and others of said convention, and to all our churches and children, every where—Christian God named of Him whose we are and whom we are, we the undersigned, D. B. Gaines, Hurst, G. W. Alexander, S. S. Joney, J. L. Harding, S. R. Prince, D. W. Bowen, duly appointed commissioners of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated), beg to submit to the joint commissions of American Baptists here assembled the following statement:
Speaking personally and for those we represent, we respectfully declare our sincere wish for the peace of fraternal fellowship and for the organic union of our two national conventions.
The authority of our commission and object of our appointments appears in the following preamble and resolutions adopted by our convention in Atlanta, Ga., last September.
Rev. R. H. Boyd offered the following resolution in accordance with a resolution offered by the Southern Baptist Convention at New Orleans, La., reported to this body in session.
"Whereas, the Southern Baptist Convention in session in New Orleans, La., in May, 1917, passed a resolution tendering the good offices of Southern Baptists to both factions of the National Baptist Convention, and
Whereas, Rev. Dr. J. B. Gambrel, president of the convention, and Rev. Dr. O. L. Hailey, an official of the Southern Baptist Convention, came to Atlanta in person, urged the appointment of a like commission or committee from this body to meet with their committee at such time and place as could be hereafter agreed upon. Therefore be it.
Resolved. That the president of this convention be impowered to appoint a committee of seven, whose duty it shall be when called upon to meet a committee of the Southern Baptist Convention to confer with them concerning a harmonious consideration of the differences between the two factions of the National Baptist Convention, and to report their minings for the consideration of this convention at its next session.
That there be no misunderstanding we beg to call your attention to the fact we were appointed to meet the commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. However, we understood a like commission to our own was tobe asked from our sister convention.
We are regular Missionary Baptists, hence we stand for Baptist principles revealed in the New Testament, and it is our intention to be loyal to the Baptist polity made historic through the ages.

It should be known that the province of our commission is only adpisory, not legislative, authority resting alone in the National Baptist Convention whom we represent. It follows that we can not form organic union between our two conventions. In fact we are bidden to report our "findings" to the convention.
We insist, however, that the peace of love and Christian fellowship between Baptists of two conventions MUST obtain, and that every facility tending toward organic union should be encouraged.
We respectly suggest that as presidee is to the glorious consummation a Baptist unity prayed for and sought the following things must be done to wit:
(a) The articles of incorporation (charter) obtained in Washington, D. C. May 17, 1915, by Revs. C. H. Parish, Bishop W. John, C. E. Griggs, W. M. D. Norman, W. Wilbanks and Prof. M. M. Rogers, is a bar to denominational unity and must be annulled, abrogated.
(b) Lawsuits now pending against Baptists are a barrier to peace and unity and should be withdrawn.
Be it known we are in most hearty sympathy with the denominational movement to establish a permanent National Baptist Theological Seminary and Women's Training School, and Women's Training School to attain that goal we point to in the Boscobel College property in Nashville upon which the first payment has been made. We suggest the appointment of a committee from each of our two conventions to canvas the fields, Memphis and Nashville, that the denomination be one in the field of Christian education.
NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY-THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE.
PATRIOTIC K. OF P.'S MISS N. H BUR- HOLD SERVICE ROUGHS IN CITY
MORE THAN 1,500 MEMBERS AT-TEND—COURTS ALSO REPRESENTED—DR. W. S. ELLINGTON DELIVERS SERMON.
More than fifteen hundred members of the order Knights of Pythias, met i the auditorium of the Spruce Street Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, March 24th, to attend the annual Thanksgiving sermon of the Order.
Long before the hour set for the sermon the spacious auditorium of the church was well filled with those who were anxious to be comfortably seated for the service. The main auditorium was filled to over flowing and many were seated in the gallery of the church.
The Courts of Calanthe and the Juveniles formed in the basement of the church and marched up to the main floor where ushers arranged seats for them. The Uniform Rank led by General Taylor, who was assisted by his staff officers, Mai Gea Hall, Col. H. Allen Boyd and Col. Chas. Vaughn led the line of march from the new Pythian Temple. The lodges under the direction of Col. Robt. E. Gee, followed the Uniform Rank. When the line of march reached the door, Prof. N. W. Ryder, organist of the day, played the "Stars and stripes for ever.
The service was entered into immediately under the direction of Sir J. B. Batte, Chancellor Commander of the day and Mrs. Mary M. Lee, the Worthy Counsellor of the day. After ceremonies by the lodges and courts the meeting was turned over to the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. E. L. Kunzer, of Tyre Lodge, No. 11.
Music for the occasion was furnished by the Fisk Male Quartette, assisted by Knights T. Clay Moore and K. R. Kunzer, the S. C. Caruthers, number on the program. Dr. Mattie Coleman made a splendid talk for the ladies department. The feature of the meeting that captivated the entire audience was the masterly address of the principal speaker, Rev. W. S. Ellington. This gifted speaker entertained his hearers from beginning to end. The Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. P. Crawford made a few remarks and called attention to the service flag containing three hundred and eighty-seven stars, representing

lists is that they know our profound gratitude and appreciation of the substantial profers made by Dr. Gambrel and Haily yesterday in open meeting touching our proposed seminary.
It is our wish that the Southern Baptist Convention thoroughly acquaint itself with the denominational status of colored Baptists, that they appoint a permanent Advisory Committee to co-operate with the trustees of the National Baptist Seminary and to give them the benefit of their mature experience in Christian education.
In harmony with the open statement made by Dr. Masters in our convention in Atlanta last September that the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention will not give money to any colored Baptist engaged in further strife among his brethren, we ask that Dr. D. B. Gray, Secretary of the board be requested to mail mission allowances of his board direct from his office to our missionaries of both conventions in due proportion and equity.
Relative to the various boards of our convention, incorporated and unincorporated, we suggest the appointment of a committee or committees to direct regulations for co-operation or plan coordination of such matters may be deemed wise, their report to be submitted to a convention for final ratification.
It should not be forgotten that incorporated boards are separate and distinct entities in law; that they are supreme within the sphere of their legal status; that no convention or foreign person or organization can command them. Their self-perpetuating and self-determining rights are the guarantee of law, and conventions may not interpose.
There are two national conventions of Baptist women, each having various boards expressive of its work. Both their mission and educational instinctive, as with men, though the objective is identical.
We respectfully advise that Baptist women of the National Convention unincorporated delay any plan or method of formal organic union till these proceeding, our plans and purposes, receive final adjustment in organic re-union of the two conventions. This mention is made that our loyal sisters may know their worth and work are most highly prized.
Finally: The fact that Baptist preachers are barred from certain pulpits of their brethren because of relationship to the National Convention (unincorporated) and that corresponding messengers to conventions and associations are deprived of the Baptist courtesy of an introduction, though their standing be regarded as non-incorporated, and their work non-inclusive, is we respectfully submit, a hindrance to unity as well as a palpable expression of non-fellowship, we suggest that interpellit services be furthered and corresponding messengers be welcomed as is Baptist custom.
Repeating the Scripture, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." We are in the love of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, your brethren. (Signed) D. B. GAINES, J. W. HURST, G. W. ALEXANDER, S. S. JONES, J. L. HARDING, S. R. PRINCE, D. W. BOWEN.
NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1918.
ADDRESSED TWO MAGNIFICENT AUDIENCES—"PAY THE PRICE" AND "THE VISION SPLENDID."
A visitor of national reputation was in the city last week in the person of Miss Namie Helen Burroughs, principal of the National Baptist Training School situated at Washington, D. C. This school is operated under the auspices of the Womans' Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention and was founded by Miss Burroughs. Miss Burroughs is giving a month of her time to this institution and is attempting to raise $5500, the amount necessary to put water and sewerage through the school.
On the afternoon of Sunday, Miss Burroughs addressed an audience that taxed the capacity of the First Baptist Church on 8th Ave., N., of which Dr. S. L. McDowell is the pastor. The subject of her address on this occasion was "by the time the church our claim." When she had finished speaking the audience gave her a donation of $37.00 for her work.
At night on the same date she appeared at the First Baptist Church of East Nashville of which the Rev. W. S. Ellington is pastor. The exercises of the evening were presided over by Mrs. M. H. Flowers, President of the Woman's State Convention of the State of Tennessee. Music was furnished by the choir Prayer was offered by Mrs. B. J. Carter Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. J. R. Williams. Mrs. B. J. Evans delivered the welcome address, while Mrs. W. S. Ellington in a delightfully charming informal way introduced the distinguished visitor.
MISS N. H. BURROUGHS.
who was guest of Baptists of city Sunday, March 24th.
Miss Burroughs spoke for one hour on the subject "The Vision Splendid." Much has been said of the distinguished lady's ability as a speaker. She has been rated as the best orator among women on the platform at present, at no time however, does she allow her oratorical ability to overshadow her ability to reason and express those reasonings and conclusions. The platform accomplishments of Miss Burroughs are excellent but the thing that catches and holds the attention of her audience is the message she has to deliver and the far reaching perspective of her vision.
At the conclusion of the address the audience gave her a collection of $500.
During her stay in the city Miss Burroughs was the guest of the faculty and students of the A. and L. Normal and Roger Williams University. She was entertained at luncheon at the State Normal. She was the house-guest of Mrs. S. J. Carter at her home on Gay Street.
MISS HELENA LOWE DIES SUS
DENLY IN CALIFORNIA.
The entire city was shocked with grief Thursday morning when the news became known that Miss Helena Lowe, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. C. B. Lowe, of South Nashville, had died suddenly while in California. Miss Lowe was born in Nashville and during her brief young ladyhood had made a host of friends who were greatly interested in her career and who loved her because of her sweet disposition and lovely Christian character. Miss Lowe was a product of the schools of Nashville and early in life manifested ability as a musician. She studied the piano under several very prominent and able teachers while young and finally entered the cal department of the University, where she received very rapidly. She possessed a charming soprano voice and took lessons at one of the famous voice studios in the city before beginning her recitals.
Miss Lowe held the position as instructor in music in the State Normal at Frankfort, Ky., where she made for herself many friends who predicted for her hen great accomplishments in her chosen line of endeavor. For one year she was principal of the Music Department of Roger Williams University and she was just entering upon her work as musical instructor at the Rome High School in Rome, Ga., when the call came to her to become a member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. She accepted the invitation to become a musicalgrantization, and during the winter had visited many of the important cities of the east and south, where her voice was greatly admired. Miss Lowe was filling engagements in the west, having reached California, when she died. At the present time no arrangements have been made for the funeral.
STATEMENT TO YOUNG MEN OF TENNESSEE
ADVANTAGES OF Y. M. C. A. LOCATION MOST CONVENIENT SAFE PLACE FOR YOUNG MEN CURRENT LITERATURE.
The following statement to young men throughout the state, with a few accompanying words to ministers of the gospel and public and private school teachers, is sent forth through the public press:

The service consists of safe and comfortable lodging quarters; hot and cold water baths, tub and shower; helping to secure employment; current reading matter, standard magazines, daily and weekly papers; good association; business use of telephone; writing desk, pen and ink; postage stamps sold for convenience; attention to health and recreation and safe counsel of the Association Secretary, Wm. N. Sanders who is the young man's friend.
Young men stopping in the Nashville Colored Y. M. C. A. are about as safe, in every respect, as a young man of moderate powers. The town to be Young men leaving small towns and hamlets throughout the state of Nashville should, upon reaching the railroad station, know to go immediately to the Association building.
Ministers of the gospel and teachers all over the state who advise young men should acquaint themselves with the Young Men's Christian Association program that they may be the better qualified to advise what the Association has to offer. Unless the advantages are known, young men can not be justly criticized for failure to patronize the Y. M. C. A. The term "Y" may or may not have any special significance to young men for the first time leaving home for a big city. Men and women in public life should feel if their duty to repeatedly call attention to the long felt need of Association is being the life of a modern city. The press gladly features happenings about the Association's news value. All agencies for good must co-operate in directing attention to the good work of the Association, if it is to meet the needs of those whom it is intended to serve COLORED BRANCH NASHVILLE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASCIATION.

HIGHER WAGES IS NEGRO'S LURE
LEAVE THE SOUTH TO BETTER THEIR FINANCIAL CONDITION, PITTSBURG SURVEY SHOWS.
Abraham Epstine, who has taken his degree in the school of economics, University of Pittsburgh, has just had printed under the supervision of that school a monograph entitled "The Negro Migrant in Pittsburgh," says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
In 1900 the Negro population of Alegheny County by the census was 27,753, but it was 34,217, and using the official system of estimating in 1917 it was about 38,000. The expansion in steel mill work through war-increased demand and the lack of full quotas depleted by the draft and enlistment, still leave about 9,750 more Negroes working in this district than in 1915. The addition is due to the migration from the south. It is this migration with which the student deals and which suggests his title. He found about 30 per cent. of these emigrants brought along their families, averaging three persons each. Hence the total new Negro population is about 18,550.
Before this influx the Negro population of Pittsburgh lived in half a dozen rooms but totalled only 3.4 of the total inhabitant. Mr. Epstine sent out a questionnaire to discover wages, housing, rents, health, social conditions, etc., and has tabulated all results obtained.
The homes dwelt in by the Negroes before this sudden and large incursion from the south had never been enlarged or improved to any extent, but the coming of their fellow racemen induced many Negroes to convert their houses into lodging places to accommodate the newcomers. Now 49 per cent, or seventy-seven families, occupy but one room each; 21 per cent, two rooms, only eight families using over four rooms, these figures having been drawn from 157 families investigated. The deplorable conditions are evident. In rooms forty-one families paid $10 a month, sixty paid $15, only ten over $25. Then are incorporated pictures of some of the shacks abandoned by the whites after this migration became evident. The details of the photographs reveal the miserable arrangement of outdoor cesspools, etc. There are pictures of the box cars inhabited by railroad workers. Some basement dwellings are shown. Some of the underground residences were found in direct violation of the law. Attics, cellars, storerooms, churches, sheds and warehouses have been transformed into congested habitations. A few of the sleeping rooms have more than one window. Dirt collects and mere boarders seldom enjoy soap or towels. In rooming houses 55 per cent paid $1.50 a week; 34 paid $1.75; only 2.75 per cent paid over $3. The almost unbelievable crowding of people in a few bedrooms is shown. (Continued on page 1.)
CYANAMID PLANT HAS THEATRE
HANDSOME PLACE OF AMUSEMENT FOR NEGROES—ROBT. E. CLAY DELIVERS PRINCIPAL ADDRESS AT OPENING.
One of the largest theatres in America to be devoted exclusively to the entertainment of the Negro was opened yesterday at the Government Cyanamid Plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, as a part of the plan of the management of the plant to furnish its employees with the proper facilities for wholesome amusement. Motion pictures will be shown at the theatre exclusively—the opening bill presenting Douglas Fairbanks in "In Again, Out Again," an Artcraft picture, and appropriate short films showing the current events of the week, travel pictures and a comedy cartoon. The Theatre is a one story structure, and occupies space of approximately 75 by 200 feet. It has a seating capacity of over 1200, and the newest Paramount and Artcraft Pictures will be shown there. V. K. Brown, Director of Community Relations at the Government Cyanamid Plant, has general supervision of the theatre.
Robert E. Clay, a prominent Negro Orator of Bristol, Tennessee, was the speaker of the day, and delivered a stirring address to the crowd that had assembled to witness the dedication of the theatre. He praised the efforts of the management of the Government Cyanamid Plant to make the conditions surrounding the workmen there as pleasant as possible, and told his auditors that they were rendering as important and patriotic a service to the country in their work as did the Negro Troops who have died in the defense of their country. He pointed out the opportunity that was offered the Negro Orator to self-improvement, the high wages they receive, the fine living quarters, and the opportunities for healthful, normal recreation. He exhorted them to remain there, and save their money, and become useful, respectable members of their community. He said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: I am glad of the opportunity to talk to you tonight about the things that are next to my heart. I want to thank your superintendent, Mr. R. B. Oliver, for inviting me here, Mr. Oliver has taken the pains and the time to take me all over the plant, and from house to house, to show me the conditions as they really exist here. I want to say to you, as members of the great Negro Race, that you have a splendid opportunity here to render a real service to our country, and to demonstrate to the world that the Negro has within him the very best of mankind, the highest type of manhood. I want to thank Mr. Oliver and all of the officials of this government Cyanamid Plant for providing this theatre, the school house and yonder church, that our people, while here, may have the right kind of environment in order that they may improve themselves along the moral and spiritual and financial lines. The better class of Southern white people know when you plumb the lowest depths of the average Negro's heart you find there not a mere desire for passing happiness, but a craving for normal recreation and enjoyment as natural to them as a desire for food. It is the environment of the average Negro that has caused his shortsightedness, that has caused his dislike of this plant. This is why they have provided a school and employed an excellent teacher with whom to entrust your children, and to go among you to do social work.
My friends, I want to impress you with all the power of my soul that you have just as great an opportunity here to render real loyal service to our country as our brave boys have in the trenches in France, because it will be impossible for them to win the war unless you, here on this important government work, back them up with all your heart and energy.
I appeal to you tonight to appreciate your position here; settle down, stay here, work every minute in the day; save your money, put it into the bank and send it home and buy a piece of land, and be somebody.
Nobody knows better than the southern white people that the Negro has always been loyal under all circumstances and conditions. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, when the British soldiers marched through the streets of Boston as though it was a conquered city, a run away slave, Crispus Attucks, the ill-treatment he had received, led a crowd of citizens in an attack on the British soldiers. In the fight Attucks was the first to go down. And it was on the memorable occasion of Bunker Hill, when Major Pitcairn, at the head of the British Army, made an attack upon the American forces that a brave Negro took the gun and poured the contents of his gun into Majoe's body, killing him instantly.
In the War of 1812, Commodore Perry spoke in terms of the highest praise of the bravery and good conduct of the many Negroes in his battles on the Lakes. In the defense of New Orleans, General Andrew Jackson called upon the colored people there to help in the great struggle; two thousand Negroes responded to th call and distinguished themselves in the great battle around New Orleans. (Much applause.) Negro soldiers played a more conspicuous part in the Spanish-American War than in any previous struggle. At Las Guasima, when Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders were being subjected to a terrible fire from the enemy, the heroic 10th Cavalry came on the scene in time to save the day for the United States. In the famous battle of San Juan Hill, when the American white soldiers would reach a certain point

MISS LUCILE GUTHRIE DEAD.
Lucille Guthrie departed this life Monday morning, March 18, 1918, at 7:30 o'clock. She was born July 4, 1904. Age 14 years. She was a member of little Mt. Zion Baptist Church. She professed a hope in Christ three years ago and lived a true Christian until God saw fit to call her from labor to reward. She was a sweet, obedient child, and to know her was to love her. She was loved by all the members of her church, old and young, and they feel that her place can never be filled. She was a little flower just in bloom, full of sunshine, always ready to cheer some sad heart with her sweet songs and prayer. She leaves to mourn her loss a loving mother, brother, grandmother, two aunts. Her funeral was largely attended by a host of sorrowing friends. It was Lucille's request for her pastor, Rev. H. Jordan, Rev. Wm. Littlefield, Rev. Jas, Huddleston, Rev. D. B. Butler, to preach her funeral, using for a text "Write, blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
Misses Minnie Smith, Obera Martin, Willie May Owens, Estella Johnson, Annie Henderson, Savannah Whitsey were pallbearers.
BROWN'S SCHOOL NOTES.
The Brown's School Community Club met at Brown's School, March 25th, 1918. The meeting was called to order by the president, Josie Carney. As we had visitors from other schools, they then took charge of the meeting for a short while. They talked on farming and poultry raising, telling us how to try and make good in life. We also had a quartette from State Normal School. Both old and young enjoyed hearing them sing. They pledged themselves to all they could to help build our school and community up. Also they would come any time we sent for them, and also had some of our neighbors to make short talks, telling our visitors how they appreciated their coming and advice to us. After they had talked to us the meeting was then left in the hands of the people. They did all they could to help improve our club. The meeting was a success. Refreshments were served. Every member of the community went home in good cheer and telling us to continue to help build up our community.
DEATH OF MRS ELIZA HAYSE.
Mrs. Eliza Hayse departed this life March 24th, 1918, at 12:30 p. m. at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mahaley Simon, 2016 Merry street, she was 84 years of age, 11 months and 24 days. She leaves three daughters one son a sister and three grand children.
up the hill, only to be mowed down by the enemy, brave Negro soldiers came on the scene and started up the hill, singing, "There's be a hot time in the old town tonight." The enemy rained volley after polley on these brave Negroes, but they did not stop, they kept fighting their way as they went, and planted the American Flag on San Juan Island and saved the day for America. (Continuous applause.)
In the face of all this we feel that the part that we are playing in the present struggle both at home and in the rights of an American citizen.
Finally, my friends, I want to urge you to do your bit here in this great Government Cyanamid Plant in order that we may be able to say to the young Negro: Open the door of your heart, my lad To the Angel of love and truth. When the world's full of unnumbered joys
In the beautiful dawn of youth. Casting aside all things that mar Saying to wrong, depart! To the voices of hope that are calling
To the voices of hope that are calling you
Open the doors of your heart
or other jobs of your heart.
Nowhere do I seem the Negro better treated than here, in the matter of money, of opportunities for recreation and enjoyment, and living conditions. It is an opportunity of a life time for you who are here. Stay, prosper and do the important government work entrusted to you with the proud consciousness that you have been in the war no less than the boys in the trenches. (Prolonged applause for several minutes.)
NUMBER 22
FINANCIAL AID SHOULD SHOULD BE GIVEN—NOTED SPEAKERS MAKE APPEAL FOR AID—OBJECT OF COMMITTEE STATED.
Baltimore, Md., March 25—The plain duty of the colored citizens of the American Republic to extend financial aid to the dependents of soldiers of their race either killed or injured in fighting for world democracy was pointed out eloquently, possibly insistently at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Wednesday evening where a largely attended meeting was held under the auspices of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee.
The speakers were Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Courts of the District of Columbia, Bishop I. N. Ross of the A. M. E. Church, Armond W. Scott, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, all of whom came over from Washington to bring a patriotic and inspiring message to their Baltimore neighbors. Ralph Tyler, former member of Navy Journalistic leader and national secretary of the Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, in general charge of the movement to raise a fund of $2,000,000 for the relief of the wives, children and other dependents of colored soldiers, presided.
SECRETARY TYLER STATES OBJECT OF RELIEF COMMITTEE.
Following an invocation by Rev. W. H. Weaver and the singing of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by a section of the choir of Bethel Church, Mr. Tyler gave a succinct statement of the object of the National Soldiers' Comfort Committee. He declared that the loyalty of the Negro to his flag and country is the outstanding duty of the hour now is to demobilize the loyalty and allied to it. His own blood and blooded are having their breasts to the fire of the Nation's enemies—to show in a practical way that we are prepared to stand by their loved ones at home while they fight for all of us in foreign lands. He told of the appeals that had come to the committee for aid and mentioned a number of cities as having responded generously to the call for help for the families of those who had enlisted or been drafted to help their country in this world-wide crisis. Ald was being extended also, he said, to the dependents of the unfortunate soldiers who had lost their liberty through the terrible circumstances surrounding the riot at the nation-wide reputation of the men at the head of the relief committee such as Prof. Kelly Miller, J. C. Napier and others, who were giving their time, means and labors to the noble cause of racial succor without salary or other compensation.
JUDGE TERRELL, BISHOP ROSS
AND ATTORNEY JOHN COHN
JOIN
Judge Terrell, introduced as the "only Negro Judge in the country and representing 14,000,000 colored Americans," recounted the part the Negro had played in the various wars of the Republic and asserted that the Negro race had never made a deeper impression upon this country than now. His review of the heroism of the race in battle from Bunker Hill to Carrish, Mexico, was received with enthusiasm. He did not lay the hattering unction to his soul that the loyalty of the Negro in the presence of the so-called race problems, but he was certain that unlarging zeal and unfaltering fidelity to his country in its hour of need would go far towards removing many of the stumbling blocks which now bar his progress. He would at least deserve the better conditions that ought to come.
Attorney Scott said that the colored people were differently circumstanced than the whites, in that they did not earn as much money, and that made it all the more necessary that the race should support the dependents of colored soldiers. Citing numerous Biblical incidents, and drawing upon the history of struggling peoples, he expressed a belief that the Negro would find a deal because of conditions following the titanic war of the century. He said that no race under the sun had been more loyal to his country, in the face of prejudice and denial of opportunity, than the Negro and that the race would not fall the flag, no matter what may happen, as this is "our country, our flag—ours for what we have done for it as well as what it has done for us—the only flag or country we have known or shall ever know." Bishop Ross, an early citizen of Baltimore and pastor of several of its churches, received an ovaion. He made an eloquent appeal for the dependents, declaring that the colored soldiers were not only fighting to make Europe and the isles of the sea safe for democracy, but also that liberty, justice and democracy might obtain in Louisiana, Georgia, Texas in Louisiana and elsewhere in the United States. He told the story of the Negro's fealty to the Republic in every hour of need and gave credit to the race for preventing a dismemberment of the Union when North and South clashed in a struggle to the death.
The collection, despite heavy demands of other interests and strong counter attractions, was generous, amounting to about $50. Judge Terrell supervised the offering, assisted by the staff of T. Howe, of Washington. Similar meetings are planned for the many churches in Baltimore, Washington and nearby cities. Dr. W. Sampson (Continued on page 5.)
Sunday School Congress Meets in Alexandria, La., June 12-17, '18
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 tenes. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and give 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 growth of long hair. Quinade the invention of an expert chemist is made under the supervision of an experienced resuscitated pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get beat results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap lathers the scalp easily. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstrict or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his drugstrict or send us the price and we will send you a write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv.

MR. JNO. B. HENDERSON DEAD.
DEAD. z...
Mr. John B. Henderson of No. 33 Mills street, So., Nashville, Tenn., age 44 years, a well known young man of a kind disposition was called from our midst. We observed that he showed great Christian strength. He was faithful to religious work and dutiful to his family. A few weeks ago he was stricken by a dreadful disease. Realizing from the beginning, the seriousness of his case, he seemed to feel that he was ready and was just waiting. Funeral was attended by Rev. Keeble The floral offerings were beautiful. He is survived by wife, Mrs. Lizzie Henderson, three sisters and a host of relatives. The remains were taken to Whites Creek, Tenn., March 8th.
IN REMEMBRANCE OF MRS. MAT
TIE JACKSON POOL.
DIED, MARCH 28, 1916
Today, two years ago an angel came to see her for she lingered low, the call was answered without fear. She realized the time was near and off she took her flight to join the heavenly sight. We miss her more than words can tell, but some day we hope to join her and there forever dwell.
A precious one from us is gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled,
Sadly missed by the family.
Sorrow is something that brings back the dust of man, and bruises him with a multitude of woofful re-collections.
RELIGIOUS FERVOR ABUNDANT
RELIGIOUS FERVOR ABUNDANT
Enthusiasm at the Sunday School Congress Unsurpassed—Big Sunday Parade—Workers From all Sections Marching—Sunday School Brass Band—Boy Cadets.
There is held in store for the Sunday School Congress workers a veritable religious feast in the 11 o'clock sermon that is to be preached on Sunday. The minister who is to preach the sermon for the Congress this year is a man of the younger school, one young in thought but old in experience as a fervent gospel minister; old in the pastorate and a preacher of ability; and one calculated to stir up the thought and to give the religious fervor for the occasion
MODEL SUNDAY SCHOOL AT CONGRESS.
Hundreds of well organized Sunday schools that have made enviable records for work accomplished could be improved if some representative of these different schools could spend one session at the Sunday School Congress in a Model Sunday School such as in conducted each year at the Sunday School Congress if they could see how the classes are taught, if they knew how the pupils were managed, if they could come in touch with the teaching forces, if they could hear the inspiring music rendered, if they only knew the amount of mentality that the Model Sunday school experts in making the Model Sunday School an occasion for actual observation of students of the Sunday school work they would come to Alexandria and become a student or teacher in this Model Sunday School. The entire session is devoted to the helpful instructions and all of the talent that is available at the meetings is put to work.
SPECIAL SPEAKERS FOR THE CONGRESS
Oratory will flow as never, before at the Sunday School Congress this year. From the opening day, June 12, until the closing, June 17, the workers in the Sunday School will be favored by hearing the best speakers on the literary platform in the United States. These speakers are to appear during the following occasions: On Metoka and Galeda night, a special address is to be made for the benefit of the Metokas and Galedas; on Boy Cadet night, eloquent utterances will be heard in the interest of the boy-man by tending to show what the boy is to our future church life; on Sunday at 11 o'clock a pulpit orator and is to be heard in the morning and for while it is noted, will be heard as never before. The minister who is to grace the rostrum on that morning for the Congress sermon will, it is said, redeem the reputation of the younger minister; while the Congress address to be delivered at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday is to be a masterly piece.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS PARADE.
At 2:30 on Sunday afternoon June 16, the annual Sunday School Congress parade will be pulled off. No feature of this Congress work is looked forward to with more joy and is halted with greater delight than the coming of this parade. Participants in it go from the smallest Sunday School pupil in the Sunday School department to the most dignified and cultured minister in the pulpit. National and state officials are seen marching with their banners, caps and pennants. In the line this year will be the usual number with some indications of an increase of Congress officials, national officers, state officials, local workers and a host of Sunday School representatives and workers from throughout the country. There will be two brass bands, which are now designated as the Sunday School Congress bands and is in fact the second regimental band connected with the Congress and Boy Cadet Movement. These bands have made a specialty of playing for this Sunday School Congress parade. There will be the Boy Cadets under the command of Commanding General of the Boy Cadet Movement of the United States with his official staff. The plan is to put about five thousand Sunday School workers in the streets of Alexandria, Sunday afternoon to carry out this religious demonstration.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MASS MEETING.
After the better part of the week has been spent in general sessions and departmental meetings; after Congress has been talked, walked, dreamed, sung, played and planned, then on Sunday afternoon, June 16, a special Sunday School Congress address will be delivered by a speaker of international fame. This occasion is one of the climaxes reached by the Sunday School forces, after a week's work, the like of which is not seen or even heard of during the year. The special address to be delivered this year is calculated to come up to the high standard of those that preceded it.
Mrs. Warren Jordan formerly, Miss Lola D. Moore of Nashville, but has made her home in Monessen, Pa., for several months, left Sunday morning for Cleveland, Ohio, to visit her aunt, Mrs. Kate Shelby, 3031, Scovel street. Mrs. Jordan was accompanied by her husband, Warren Jordan, also Mr. Quintard Walker and Mr. Andrew Deadrick, all formerly of Nashville whose homes are now in Monessen, Pa. Mr. Jordan will join his wife in Cleveland, the first of April. They are expected in Nashville the first of June.
Who is the meanest man on earth? The man who marries a fair damself and then fails to work for her—the evergreen flirt, unloved and unsaved.

ADVANCE SCHOOL CONGRESS
CONGRESS SONGS.
"Hall the Baptist Congress" will be Sung by Thousands. "On. On Metakas and Galedas." "Christian Solkas With Many Other Will, be. Hearts."
"On. On Metokas and Galedas" is the title of the Metokas and Galedas song that will be the watchword of these two organized classes in their meeting June 12-17, in connection with the Sunday School Congress. The directors of these two classes with the secretaries and their assistants promise to elevate the Metoka and Galeda class work to such a position that it will be sung throughout the civic school. The Sunday School builder, as a force that will keep people in the Sunday School, as a drawing card to the college boy and girl, who hitherto have found the Sunday: School an unattractive place. Special stress will be laid upon the use of the Metoka and Galeda Magazine. The paraphernalia of this department, consisting of the pin, the pennant, the arm-band, the cards the magazine and the spirit of the class will give the Metoka and Galeda representatives and the help to demonstrate what they are doing at home. Metoka and Galeda night has heretofore been one of the biggest nights at the Congress, and promises this year to be equally as attractive.
WILL FEATURE NEGRO MUSIC
Negro music will be featured exclusively at the Sunday School Congress. June 12-17, declared the national chorister who conducts the chorus that is expected to total six hundred voices. It is their plan to sing the songs written, arranged, set to music and printed exclusively by Negroes. Wheeler
these songs be the short and common meters; whether they are plantation or jubilee melodies or whether they are classics when the time comes for the Congress curtain to rise, the chorister is expected to have whipped into form one of the greatest aggregations of singers that has ever been prepared for a national gathering. Their rendition of "Zekiel Saw the Wheel" has captivated them. The manner in which this wheel has rolled and the chorister's unique way of impressing it upon the singers has already stamped him indelibly upon the minds of the people as a master mind in training congregational singers. It was amounted to there would be an orchestra assisting him to support the chorus, with a piano and pipe. When the Congress opens it is claimed the chorus will be divided in the various subdivisions during the afternoon of each day in order that each departmental meeting might have special music. This with the addition of two bands already secured, is claimed by the Congress secretary to be an advance not yet enjoyed by the Sunday School workers at these annual gatherings. It was said that the city will be given an opportunity to see just what progress has been made along this particular line when the pre-Sunday School Congress Literary and Musical Concert is presented, where the public will be given an opportunity to hear what Alexandra really has in the way of local talent, and that they have been rounded into form in order a time. The selections will vary from the hymn lined out to the most difficult that has ever been rendered in Alexandria. There will be a brass band, with an orchestra to give selections. There will be solos, duets, quartets, double quartets and congregational singing. The music at the Congress this year, according to the best information obtained, will eclipse anything that has been put on.

If you teach the Intermediate or Primary classes at your home, you will naturally want to spend your afternoons in this particular department. If you are advanced teachers, the natural tendency would be to come in touch with the advanced teachers from other schools. You would be second in the Cradle Roll, Home Department, Boy Cadet, Sunday School Missionary or any other Sunday School work, you will find at the Congress that after the general sessions have adjourned for noon from 2:30 until 6:30 in the afternoon, there will be some department in session where you will have an opportunity not only to gather inspiration, but to throw off that pent-up energy that you have been accumulating all the year and where you yourself may demonstrate the many helpful things you have perhaps learned in your school. Give others the benefit of your experience that at the same time be benefited by the experience others will give, by attending the department meetings.
BRASS BANDS.
This was time when it was almost impossible to have the right kind of music to the sufficient volume to do justice to the Sunday School Congress at a national movement. This problem, however, was solved when the Sunday School Congress movement succeeded in making permanent and a part of the national gatherings two brass bands, one of ten pieces and one of fourteen pieces. These bands are uniformed and especially well qualified as musicians to play practically every song that will be sung at the Congress. He was the part of the great force that created such favorable impression in the rendition of these sacred songs through their sessions and that have been conspicuous in the mammoth street parade on Sunday afternoon. Hear the Congress brass bands at the Sunday School Congress.
B. Y. P. U. DEPARTMENT AT CONGRESS.
A longfit want was supplied when it was announced that the B. Y. P. U. Societies would have a department in the coming Congress. B. Y. P. U. organizations throughout the United States who send representatives to the Alexandria session of the Congress will have the advantage of all the instructions in the B. Y. P. U. work that can be given out by practical experts and B. Y. P. U. workers. Every department of the B. Y. P. U. will be carefully gone into. The Christian Culture Course, the Reading Course, the devotions, the literature, the missionary feature, in fact B. Y. P. U.'s as they ought to be conducted will be demonstrated.
SOCIOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The newest department in the Congress work is that of the Sociological and Applied Industrial Education. While the theme has not been new the department this year under this head will be under the direction of trained college professors who have made a practical study in this particular line of intellectual uplift. At the session of the Congress in Vicksburg, the addresses that were delivered along the way were very informative on the subjects listed stirred the meeting beyond expectation. Addresses were made, subjects discussed and ideas brought out on sociology that were instructive from the very beginning and which heaped materially every attendant at the meeting.
SINGING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE CONGRESS
A Chorus of 600 Voices to Furnish Music at the Congress. Texas Quartette and Shreveport Singing Club.
Supporting the regular musical feature of the Sunday School Congress will be several independent singing organizations. Notice has been given to the secretary of the Sunday School Congress that a Glee Club of about eighteen members from Shreveport, La., would grace the Congress with its presence this year. Then there is to be a special quartet out of Texas, coming from Houston, that is making a specialty of Sunday School Congress work. In addition to this the Juvenile Congress Choir will make its initial appearance. Thus the singing this year will excel any attempt of former years.
TEXAS QUARTET COMING TO
ALEXANDRIA
Another singing club has notified the Sunday School Congress Secretary that it was their purpose to attend the Sunday School Congress and to serve in every possible way. Prof. G. W. Williams of Houston, Tex., with H. C. M. Cowan and W. Cowan compose the quartet. They declare this quartet has prepared itself to render service by singing the very best religious song—songs found in the
ORIGIN OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS.
MEMORIES Of Fifty Years Recalled.
THE appearance of the National Jubilee eludes a new book containing all the old jubilee and institution songs set to music, in creating the widest kind of comment in every section of the United States. This is attested to by hundreds of letters that have been received since the song book appeared and since it so successfully used throughout the session of the great National Baptist Convention in which just closed its meeting. A sample of what the people say will be of interest:
"I have examined the National Jubilee Melodies and found some old treasures that I would like to in part with, a fragment of the tune and we see that have been carried in my brain and memory since I was a young for yea yr ago, but this is the first time I have ever seen them in print or set to music. The little inaccurate grammatically speaking that one thinks he finds in the boo are but a gul- vine Jubilee melody. It is a very fine work of its identity, and it is my desire to set a work as near as possible spoken in the peculiar manner of the old time-ant- time man and woman that laid the foundation for our race on which we are building beautifully. I think that their peculiar style should be preserved and have drawn to justice."
The price of the National Ju lae Melodies song book with all of these old time songs, is 30c per copy by mail, postage paid, or $3 60 per dozen, express charges not paid.

In addition to the quartet there will be a club from Shreveport consisting of eighteen members and the Alexandria organization made up of workers from the various Sunday schools there. This will be three singing organizations which will augment the chorus of two hundred voices, which chorus will be made up entirely of Alexandria singers under leadership of Prof. Johnson, the Sunday School Congress chorus director from Nashville, Tenn.

WHEN AND WHERE THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL, CONGRESS HAS MET
Thirteen years ago in June the first session of the Sunday School Congress was held. When the announcement went forth that the movement had been launched for the benefit of the Sunday school forces and the B. Y. P. U. workers. It was halted with joy and'dight. Strong editorials by the leading denominational editors appeared in papers throughout the country. Secular journals declared it was beyond measure the proper time and that the meeting was calculated to do what no other had done. It would, in other words, be the little leaven in the loaf. So in June 1906, the movement was launched at Nashville. Tenn. In 1907 it met in New Orleans, in 1908 in Jacksonville, Fla.; in 1909 at Nashville, Tenn.; in 1910, Atlanta, Ga.; 1911, Meridian, Miss.; 1912, Tuskegee, Ala.; 1913, Muskegue, Okla.; 1914, Beaumont, Tex.; in 1915, Birmingham, Ala.; in 1916, Vicksburg, Miss.; 1917, in Nashville, Tenn. This year in Alexandria, La.

BOY CADETS AT THE CONGRESS.
Commanding-General W. H. Crawford of the National A. F. Cadet Movement and his general staff have issued a general order for the Fifth Annual Encampment of the National A. F. Cadets to be held at Alexandria, La., in connection with the thirteenth annual session of the Sunday School Congress, June 12-17. Representatives of the Boy Cadet movement in every section of the United States are expected to be in attendance. Some Sunday Schools will send an entire company Perhaps several battalion bands will be in attendance. Boys in uniform will be seen each day and the spirited military discipline under religious influence will be injected into them as never before. Nothing has proven so beneficial to the forward Sunday School movement, as the Boy Cadet movement, which is a part of the Sunday School Congress. Each Sunday School may have as many companies as they feel able to support. A book of tactics with the bugle calls and other information can be obtained from the National Baptist Publishing Board. In fact, how to organize a company of Cadets is told in a very simple way in this book, which sells for ten cents.
CRADLE ROLL AND INFANT DE-
PARTMENT AT CONGRESS.
"Where are the children and what are they doing?" is a problem that this department is taking up, taking the child as soon as it is given a name and keeping up with that child until it is able to be turned over to primary department of the Sunday School. The work of the Cradle Roll and Infant Department, while new to some of the Baptist schools, has become so important that special superintendents of this work have been designated in many schools. At the Congress this year one competent, one well trained, assisted by those who have had actual experience will tell how to conduct the Cradle Roll and Infant Department in the various schools.

THE SATANIC GAMBLE.
Coarntary to the expectation of the best military intelligence, to say nothing of lay unintelligence, the Germans have struck a really tremendous blow in France—so tremendous as to shatter at the outset part of the supposedly invulnerable British line and to cause trepidation as to what may follow. It is typical of our adversary that the event should be staged as it has been, with an emperor "on horseback," with advertisement of a seemingly preposterous nature, with feudalism outstanding in it all, and with scientific savagery as the instrument of success.
Vienna reports a great victory, Berlin tells of a first stage successfully completed. The boast of Hindenburg that he would be in Paris by April proves at least to have had back of a desperate willingness to sacrifice men like locusts to make the boast good. There is something awe inspiring in the Satanic majesty of so huge a gamble. Not only world dominance is at stake but autocracy, not only Prussianism but a dynasty. With cool, cynical, confident arrogance, Wilhelm and his clique have placed themselves and the things they stand for in the balance against the whole trend of human civilization Millions of human insects are to be stamped into gore. The adventure of Napoleon, though it gleams with the Corsican genius, pales beside the immensity of this. Yet, fortunately, the assaulted world is fifty represented and does not recoil.
What will develop in France is beyond prediction. The Teuton has the initiative. For the time being he is free to strike. A measure of aerial dominance apparently is with him. His gun power where he has concentrated it is presumably superior. His readiness to accept losses has no limit. Since he has is playing at one stroke for success or failure men have no importance except to die. There is no need to hold back a stragetic reserve for a later occasion. There is to be no later occasion like this. The German is going to Austerlitz—or Waterloo.
As to the "long range bombardment" of Paris, that is an incident. Unless it should signify the invention of a new and more powerful explosive it will win no battles. Only the most utter control of the air could make possible effective use of cannon having a twenty mile range, to say nothing of sixty.
It is interesting to recall that a break through by sudden attack, such as the Germans apparently are attempting, was the idea of Nivelle the French generalissimo, a year ago, and that, according to one later discredited account, the Frenchman had actually achieved the basis of complete success when the offensive was called off because of the slaughter.
Before such an attack as the Germans have launched it was to be expected the defense would bend. There is nothing in the situation yet to indicate that the defense has done more than that. The world has never produced a better army than the army under Field Marshal Haig. It is through that army the Tetuan must go if he is to achieve the only kind of success that would justify his effort. Far from being disheartened, America is convinced the thing cannot be done. And, once it is proven so, delivery of humanity from the beast that rages will be certain and very near.
DISCOVERY
During the last year or so this country has been learning lessons that it will not soon forget, because it has learned them in sorrow and surprise. It has learned that many
of our people are without patriotism. They have no love for the best country under the sun, although that country welcomed them from one that had neither affection nor mercy for them. When the land that has made them all that they are and far more than they had dreamed of attaining, asks their comfort and help in its hour of peril and need, do they lay their all on the altar of its service as might be reasonably expected. No, no indeed, but on the contrary it finds it necessary to defend itself against them. This is a bitter pill—the bitterest pill Columbia has had to swallow and the taste of it will not be soon forgotten. The future German newcomer, with a sad smile on his face and two bits in his pocket will have a hard time becoming one of Uncle Sam's family.
TOO HANDY WITH THEIR GUNS
Some deputy sheriffs seem to be a little too handy with their guns when they get in the neighborhood of Negroes. It seems as if they had rather plug a Negro full of lead, than do any other kind of thing. It seems they have a mania for shooting Negroes. They rather like it, Nothing will happen to them if they should happen to wipe out an entire Negro settlement.
Out at the Federal Chemical plant the other day, a deputy shot a Negro in the back. Nothing done about it. It is said the Negro in question was attending strictly to his own business too but a little thing like that does not matter.
Hungry for fifty lucre, these deputies lurk in where Negroes are employed in order that they may mayfatten their purses on ill gotten fees. They care nothing for enforcing the law, it is the fee, that's all When they are baffled in coercing the Negro, why they shoot him.
We believe that the powers higher up ought to put a stop to these devilish deputies terrorizing the Negro. These petty officers cause mourn unrest, more dissatisfaction among the laboring element than any other evil agency. They are the cause of the wholesale migration of the Negro to the North and East. The Negro wants to stay here and work, but these deputies won't let them. They harrass and worry the very soul of the Negro who remains.
Now we are glad to see the Daily Commercial take up the cudgel in behalf of the much abused Negro. We hope good fruit may result from its efforts.
Let the Negro Civic Organization put this matter squarely before the proper parties and see if there is any balm in Gilead.
The Negro soldier is somewhere in France, battling that the world may be made safe for democracy.
Let us try and make Nashville safe for the humble Negro laborer who toils for his daily bread. Make the Negro safe from prowling feebragging deputy sheriffs.
HON. R. R. CHURCH:
Hon. R. R. Church, of Memphis, was here Monday in attendance upon the State Republican Committee meeting. He was a pleasant caller at the office, where he is always welcome. Mr. Church is easily the foremost Negro politician of the South. When he speaks the powers that he heed his voice. He can always be found in the Amen Corner in the Councils of the Mighty. He reports the Lincoln League of West Tennessee alive and prosperous.
This German cockiness about having invented substitutes for leather shoes' is a baseibel on American enterprise, which was turning out substitute leather shoes before the average citizen knew whether Berlin-to-Bagdad was a comic opera or a Mohammedan bandit.
The German government has provided a uniform garb for all its civilian subjects, as part of the plan to conserve cloth stuffs. If the German government has any regard at all for aptitude a characteristic of the uniform will be stripes.
On the other hand, since sugar, which we must conserve, is so necessary to rhubarb pie, there are among us some patriots of so exalted a degree that they will willingly for the sake of their country give up rhubarb pie.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
The best kind of regulation of public utilities is that obtained through government ownership. When regulation is sought by any means short of ownership the results are unsatisfactory. Such a regime is not wholly unlike the boasted regulation of the liquor traffic through license or local option. The mistake always stares us in the face and stands a constant reminder of the better way. It has been urged that there is less enterprise and activity in public than in the private industry—that there will be less incentive to discovery and invention when competition is removed by the elimination of the private character of the most important of the common utilities.
A very trite yet a very truthful saying is this: "Corporations have no souls," and the two sides in most of the modern day strikes is in evidence. Now a good way to meet such soulsiness is through government ownership—taking the great lines of activity out of private hands or what is better still, out of the hands of those who in corporations will do what in a private capacity they will not dare to do. To be sure the non-enforcement of law will be encountered in every aspect of the case but the probabilities are the government ownership will afford the masses a promoter and more effective redress than is at present obtained.
While it has been discovered that the masses move slowly, yet they move with a sure and certain tread when they do move, and many a professional, wily politician has had to meet a stern and a relentless judgment because of his neglect or indifference. "The greatest good to the greatest number" or "Charity to all with malice toward none" should be the slogan in all commercial and industrial relations and government ownership affords the largest opportunity for the operation of such principles to obtain. And the trend of affairs in both government and church point to the coming of such a happy era. Monarchy, plutocracy, classocracy and party-oeracy must give way to democracy.
MRS. ZELIA PERRY JOHNSON AT REST.
Columbia, Tenn., March 26, 1918. The funeral services commemorative of the life and character of Mrs. Zelia Perry Johnson formerly of Columbia, Tenn., but since her marriage to Dr. L. H. Johnson of Coweta, Okla., were held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday, March 20th, 1918.
The officiating clergymen were the Rev. H. L. P. Jones, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Nashville, Tenen, assisted by the Rev. Adams, pastor. The auditorium was filled with earnest sympathizing friends and companions of deceased who came to pay the last tribute of respect to a worthy young woman and a stalwart Christian character. The floral designs showing love and respect for the dead were profuse, fragrant and lovely. Aristo Chapter of the city performed the burial service which was most impressively rendered. Resolutions from Mrs. Johnston's chapter spoke befittingly of its deceased friend and sister. Miss Pearlie Morton classmate of Mrs. Johnson read in beautiful seating and composed Mrs. Bettie Johnson classmate in-law of the deceased Prof. J. H. Kelly ex principal of the Columbia school earnedly and pathhefied of his former pupil and emphasized the great importance of moral training in the home as a sure index of what it is possible for the boy or the girl to be.
The splendid lives of Mr. and Mrs. eGo. W. Perry her parents he said were truly worthy of emulation and full of hope and promise to a struggling people. Prof R. G. Johnson gave statistics of the life of school children in London, which he described were vital forces in society, church and school.
The sermon by Rev. Jones was pathetic, forceful and convincing and was indeed inspiring to all who had the good fortune of hearing him. The singing by the choir was a splendid feature especially the solo by Mrs. Lucille Nicholson of the city. The beautiful character of the deceased; her examples of love and piety in the home life, the school and the community all of which were prominent characteristics of this young life all seemed to give force to the fact that "Life is what you make it."

Johnston in August, 1906 and lived happily with him until the day of her death. Of this union two children were born.
Mrs. Johnson was faithful to her home life and to the race to which she did great honor. She leaves her husband, two children, a mother and a father, two sisters three brothers and a host of relatives and friends. Of this sad occasion was noticeable and commendable and that was the loving devotion and tenderness exhibited by Dr. Johnson. A private talk to him by the writer is convincing that his sorrow was most profound and genuine. It reveals the fact that Dr. Johnston's ambition was to honor and magnify the virtues of Mrs. Johnston. He lived in her affections and was protrated with grief in her demise. He had for some years devoted himself to the study of both money and property, not for himself, but for the sake of his wife and children. A fine example of love and devotion anywhere.
Dedicated to the memory of Mrs
Azeela Perry Johnston by her sister

Oh beautiful woman thou are,
Thou reigneth alone in my heart;
O, loveliest of women, seen or unseen,
Come, let me crown thee, my beautiful queen.
Of hearts that are pure the purest was thine.
Of eyes that were bright yours the brightest would shine:
All straight pearly teeth, pretty and white.
Kissable lips that spoke naught but the right.
Hands, always ready deeds to do, Tripping feet to accompany them too; Beautiful form was thine.
Graceful at all times, so sweet and sublime.
O, peerless, Mother O, patient wife, Bearing the burden the toil and the strife; Dearest of sisters, truest of friends, Pearly gates await thee, angels attend.
While sad is the parting, O, lovelitse of all.
Withe reverent hearts we bow to the call;
The rich and the poor through the valley of death.
Must pass are they reach the haven of rest.
The poet might say your life was "a dream."
Yet none will compare with it. my beautiful queen;
Sweet mansions of bliss a wait thee on high.
Well meet neer to part at our home in the sky.
Sleep on dear one in that last blessed sleep.
None, the shall disturb thee in thy retreat;
write blessed are they who die in the Lord,
Is the Master's oracle, His most Holy Word.
Come, come all ye weary or laden with grief.
Seek solace and comfort in the balm of relief;
Hark, hark a stranger appears, trust Him,
Then open the door and welcome Him in.

The President, Mrs. C. C. Cotton, spared no efforts to get this petition
signed by the parents, and she, with a committee of the Parent Teachers Association carried this petition to the members of the Board of Education.
The Superintendent, Prof Keys, listened attentively to this committee and some very good promises were made to them. The President thinks that the Parent Teachers Association should be encouraged and work more together.

He professed religion a number of years ago. For the past 11 years he has lived in Brownsville, after he moved he joined the 1st Baptist Church.

The funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church on Wednesday afternoon by Rev. A. Parr using in his text. Ps. 90:12. "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." subject, "The value of time." Rev. Parr pictured out many beautiful features in the life of the deceased.

On last Friday, March 22, 1918. The death angel came with death's sword and pierced the mortal frame of Mrs. Ethel (Tallapero) Hill. She was born May 22, 1885. She propped a hope in life at an early age and lived a faithful and tenacious life until death. She was devoted and obedient a kind and loving neighbor. She was thoughtful of the needy gentle in spirit and always striving to lessen the care of others. Her deeds of charity and acts of benevolence were limited only to her strength and op portunity. Hers was indeed a life worthy of emulation. She had been ill for more than 18 months. In her home, her wifely bearing and matron
ly temperament rendered the family circle a continuity of peace and pleasure. It is in this home that the blow is most keenly left. The funeral services were conducted at Farmer's Chapel C. M. E.

Hallowell asks as she reconfirmed the same to beung, her deceased. In the obituary read by Mrs. Lynk, many striking features of the life of the deceased were brought out. In speaking of the many spendid qualities possessed by Mrs. Hill, Lynch said in part: "Whether affliction and sorrow always bring out the best there is in a person, we can not say, but we know that the physical and mental pain which Mrs. Hill endured for 18 months before she passed away, developed the highest and noblest qualities in her. Wasted and worried by disease, coughing her precious life away, yet she was always full of cheer and perfectly resigned to fate. She bore her illness with greatest of patience. She leaves a loving husband, one who has stood by her in every vicisitude and could tired in doing whatever he could for her. She leaves a loving mother, whose love transcends all other affections of the heart, who sacrificed every comfort to convenience. She leaves four brothers, who were devoted to her and who did much to make her last hours comfortable. She送给他.
Sleep on, deal Ether,
Sleep on, and take your rest.
Sleep on
Pillow your head upon the Saviors
brast,
We loved you well.
But Jesus loved you best.
Sleep on."

NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MARCH 29, 1918.

A novel feature of the meeting was the hearty rendition by the choir and the congregative of Peter Howes, a Judeite Julian Howes's "Battle Hymn of the Republic," adapted to the work of the Soldiers' Comfort Committee.
HIGHER WAGES IS NEGRO'S LURE
(Continued from page 1.)
More than 75 per cent. of the southern migrants are between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. Only 10 per cent. are past fifty or under eighteen. This shows that the migrants are desirable laborers and at the zenith of their producing capacity. So their influx lays little burden on the city. There are few minors to be educated and few dependents to become public charges. Most of the immigrants are single. Many of the newcomers when questioned affirm that they lived in better quarters in the south though wages were lower. But here 62 per cent. earn from $2 to $3 a day while in the south but twenty-five got such return for labor. At least 95 per cent. of the migrants do unskilled work.
Mr. Epstein combats the prevalent statement that the Negroes came north from prohibition states to find saloons. The figures prove his denial. These migrants are churchgoers; they have made big savings. Many send money back to former homes. Alabama and Georgia are banners states which have suffered the drain of the exodus. Georgia alone contributes 66 per cent. But owing to the lack of housing conditions many will go back south when the labor demand becomes normal.
Next come the problem of amelioration. The Negro's own problem is to escape from the measures of suppression exerted in the south. This migration is but seizure of the opportunity afforded by the war depleted labor market. The race problem is thus brought up north. Then the argument proceeds that "making democracy safe" means treating these migrants as human beings. Politically the Negro is as free as the white. A sample of the contract signed by the newcomer before employment here is printed to prove that the average employer is not caring for improving the social condition of the migrant.
The organization of the Negro into labor unions is not feasible. Some white unions admit him, while others debar him by their constitutions. There is a manifest reluctance on the part of the white and indifference on that of the Negro. The underlying reason for his law is that he stated to the Negro recognizing his own tragedy, which includes slavery in the past, lynching and mob law and ostracism now. His wages and mere existence absorb him. Statistics are presented to show the petty character of the cases wherein Negroes have been arrested. The percentage of grave charges has decreased notably in the past year. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is attempting to be reconciled with the police and organizer for the migrant. Of course, he is not confined to Pittsburgh.
This league organizes travelers' aid work at the railroad stations and assists in bringing only the higher types of laborers here and then instructing them by noonday and Sunday talks. Broad efforts are planned by the league to better housing conditions. Attention will be given to reducing the high rate of sickness and death. The danger in proprietary medicines will be taught. Amusements and recreation are to be provided. Associations to foster home building and bank deposits will be organized—N. Y. Globe, March 21, 1918.

HADLEY SCHOOL NOTES.
I take great pleasure in relating to the public something more about our noble school, which is one of the best and most energetic schools of our city. There is much progress being made from time to time by the boys and girls of our school. I know of no other school that is developing so rapidly and so much as this one. Dr. J. P. Crawford, the supervisor of public schools gave us a very pleasant visit as usual last week. He is always glad to visit our school, for the children all seem to be deeply interested in their lessons when he comes from time to time. He also took a part in our class work which was reciting a lesson when he came. We are doing some homework. Miss Louise Glison, a pupil of the 6-A grade is taking a great deal of interest in the sales of the Pearl High Voice, and interesting paper organized by the pupils of the Pearl High school. The pupils of our school are doing much to encourage her in her duty by purchasing them.
Some much needed repairs have been made on our building recently. New gutters have been put around our building and the old ones taken down. There gutters have been neatly painted, which gives our school a splendid appearance. Our school is yet buying Thrift or War Saving Stamps, which we have been doing for some time. We presume that no other school of our city is putting forth a stronger and better effort than ours to help the government to win this great destructive war. You can readily see that Hadley School never fails to do her part in anything allotted her. Some of us are giving our attention to poetry.

SOUTH NASPVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
From time to time the girls attending the cooking "Center" for Carter, Nelson Merry and Napier Schools have brought their parents news of conditions in the city, with the coming of spring after a long winter undisturbed by the authorities, those who came to and hung around the building became more numerous and their visits more frequent.
About the first of this mont hMrs. M. W. Blake was made acquainted with some facts, which caused her to call together some of the women of the neighborhood, and at once a thorough and searching investigation was made. Mrs. Blake in the meantime called the attention of Superintendent Keyes to the matter, and he in turn called upon Chief Barthell who upon visiting the place found it to be a bootlegging joint and "the goods" was found. Mrs. Blake being cripple could not get to the Center, but Mrs. W. D. Hawker, President of Napier School Program "Teachers" Association and Mrs. T. H. Elliott, President of Mothers' Community Club went to the building. They found among other things the following to be true: The buildings having the appearance of a former day saloon, a fifth hall behind the cook room; through this fifth hall the girls had to pass to get to a filthier toilet where they had to get and empty water for cooking. But for many weeks there had been no water in the toilet, and the girls and the maid had to secure water from the owner of the place in the same building and other homes near by; dice games were carried on around the building and white, men frequently opened the doors of the Center. A few minutes before the ladies got to the building, the investigators found the owner of the building committed suicide in his part of the building. And as the life of the maid and teacher had been threatened on account of the raid, and because of the condition of those pupils in the building at the time of the raid and firing of the pistol and those who came there after, the ladies asked that the cooking be closed for the day.
A committee was appointed to see Supt. Keyes and ask for the removal, they were also to see the members of the Board. When this committee saw Supt. Keyes and explained the conditions at the Center, he said he knew most all of them, and promised to have the place cleaned up, the hall cleared, a water meter put in, to secure the use of the hall, thus giving the Board of Education control of the school. He said he had an account of the shortness of funds and nearness to the closing of the school that we make out with this building. He gave them a most courteous hearing an dthanked them for coming. When this committee made their next report to the mothers, at their next meeting, it was not at all satisfactory. But it was decided that the jeopardy of the life, health and morals of these girls at the turning point of their lives was too great to ask anything less than an immediate removal. A part of the Board was out of the city of this town, but upon Mr. Hume's return Mrs. Blase called his attention to the matter, and be with other members of the executive committee visited the Centers for both girls and boys and found conditions to be as above stated.
It was then decided that we visit each church in South Nashville and present our cause and get names for a petition for the removal of the Center. Each pastor gave time for an explanation of conditions and the getting of names. Some ladies were also appointed to make a house to house canvass.
The following committee waited upon the Board of ducation Monday evening, March 25: Mesdames A. W. Brown, Clemmie White, Florence Fossie, T. H. Elliott, M. B. Rich, Ella Thompson, F. E. Dawson, W. D. Hawkins and Dr. M. E. Coleman, Mrs. F. E. Dawson then introduced Mrs. W. D. Hawkins who read the petition which was signed by nearly five hundred mothers.
After the reading of the petition Mr. Hume stated that the committee had been anticipated and, that the executive committee had found that the conditions at the boys' Center little better than the girls' and that they had begun the work o finemately removing them both to the Napier school.
After a few remarks and questions by other members of the Board, President Nelson thanked the committee and assured them of an immediate removal. Mrs. George Brooks and Mrs. Franklin will never be forgotten for their splendid canvass in the Carter School vicinity, neither shall we forget all the ladies who helped us with our petition's circulation.
The mothers are grateful to the Holiness Church for the use of the church for all meetings, Miss Lizzie Kelley, a juvenile court officer, to Chief Barthel for quick service and police protection thereafter, to Mr. Hume and the Board of Education for immediate action, to Dr. T. H. Elliott for auto service.
Many offers of help came from others, but while the mothers were most appreciative and thank those who offered; they did not find need for them at this time. The Parent-Teachers' Association and Community Club are alive to the situation and are continuing the work

‘There appears to be a good deal of
misinformation circulated amongst th
agricultural community as to th
‘policy and scope of the Food Admin
istration with relation to price fixing
‘cally, that the Food Administration
is not a price-fixing body except with
regard to certain commodities which
are today dominated by wholly abnor
mal overseas commercial relations,
and the surrounding factors with re
gard to which are such as to project
reat dangers both against the farm
ing community and at the same time
the consuming community. The two
commodities under regulation are
wheat and sugar . With the further ex-
‘ception of cases in which it has in
tervened purely as a friendly inter
mediary between organized produces
and consumers—as in city milk—the
Executive Department of the Govern:
‘ment has no authority and no desire
to fix prices of products of agricul
ture.
It seems necessary and destrable to
restate the reasons already referred
to by the President which render it
necessary and possible to undertake
contro! of the marketing of these two
‘commodities. The economic forces aris
ing out of the War, which have nec-
essitated this action, are in the main
as follows:
1, All of the overseas shipping in
the world has been placed in govern:
ment control and the volume of this
shipping 1s much reduced, As a con:
sequence there is no longer any free
play in commercial overseas. traffic
as the governments involved, must
designate what tonnage Is to be assign-

overseas traffic has broken down, it
Was necessary for the Allied govern-

comodity where this maintains,

government should intervene to pro-
|teet his supplies. Again, In the face
|of this abnormal situation, the nor.
mal wheat marketing machinery of
[the country was completely paralyzed,
|'To have attemptel the normal course
of marketing through the Boards. of
Trade and Exchanges, by which the
buyers of wheat protect thelr opora-
tions by sales of futures, involved a
dangerous series of speculations, nor
did the Exchanges themselves ‘wish
to be the centers around which such
speculations should take place. Every
action of the Allied buyer, every
rumor of peace and thereby the libera-
tion of the large wheat supplies in
Australia, every monthly shipment of
wheat abroad in the depletion of na-
tional supplies, would have been the
conter of speculation and the cause of
violent fluctuations in the Exchanges,
of the same character that occurred
during the last five months of the 1916
harvest year, when, althowsh the farm.
er had marketed his wheat at an aver
‘age of $1.44 a bushel, the price, due
to these very causes, at one time rose
to over $3.00 a bushel, and flour to
over $17.00 a barrel.
In these circumstances an independ
ent commission was appointed by the
President, upon which the farming
community was represented by six
members out of eleven, and this com:
mission unanimously agree! upon the
priee of $220 for No. 1, Northern
| whoat, bared on Chienzo, as a market
Hconter, and In coming to its eonelu
sions this commitiee considerel the
necessity to sive to the farmer a price
nol only covering his cost and normal
profit bat a price that wontd stimulate
and assure future production, ‘That
heir judement has proved by the
fae? that 42,000,000 acres of winter
wheat have been seeied helng an tn
crease of about 2,000,000 acres over
any acreage hitherto known in ow
history and some 7,000,000 acres over
the prewar average.
| Having established the basic price
or this commodity, the Food Admin:
[istration has followed ft through the
manufacturing and distributing trades
with limitations as to the profits te
[be earned in distribution and has
| thereby brought this prime commodity
|to, the door of the eonmumer at th
least possible expense and at a mar
jin between producer and consumer
[less than normal, ‘The same_ situa
tion confronts the American farmer
|and the American consumer in wheat
[for the next harvest year.
| In the matter of sugar, the same
economic forees are in action to dis
| place normal traffic, exeept at in this
| case the American people are purchas
ors abroad of the large portion ol
thelr supplies and that, in addition tv
| thenecessity of government acilon t
seoute a fair division of the avaliable
sugar 10 the American people, it ha
been common business prudence te
join with the Allied governments ty
a definite contrget with the Cuba
authorities as to price, ratier tar
[eave it to the fluctuations hick
‘| would arise from short supplies and
' iregular shipping facllities. Where
the various arrangements made hav«
‘involved the interests of the Americar
| sugar producers they have been made
Jin consultation with him and with his
|co-operation, in order that he migh
|be protested in his Industry. In this
case, a8 with wheat, the distributing
trades have been placed under regula
| tion as to the profits in distribution
of a stabilized commodity and the
consumer protected as to price.
‘The only other situation where the
| Food Adminsitration has interested
{tgelt in price of agricultural products
has been in instances such as milk
to the cities, where the producer was
himself organized and was in shayp
conilict with the consumer, and where
these conflicts promised to-work hard:
ship on both producer and consumer.
In such cases the Food Administra
|tion has acted merely as a friendly
agent in securing a settlement between
the parties. In all such cases. the
producer must necessarily be a con:
tracting party and therefore must be
satisfied with the arrangements made
‘and, it may be stated parenthetica y,
‘hat no such negotiations have besa
‘undertaken by the Food Administra-
tion except at the request of the pro
ducati .
| A similar ease Hes tn the purchase
‘of pork products by the Allied govern-
ments, which while not sufficiently
large to control the market, yet could
‘affect the price. In this’ instance,
Tepresentative bodies of the produc:
ers were called together and upon
their recommencistion the Food Ad
ministration undertook, so far as the
Influences of these purchases made it
possible, to use the purchases for the
‘purpose of maintaining a minimum
| price for live hogs in Chicago, in order
|to prevent an undue fall in the price of
hogs during the large packing sea:
son and thus the discouragement of
the producer.
| Beyond the above, the Food Admin:
| Istragion has no power or intention to
in ahy way Interest itself in price,
Aside from these matters the Food
| Administration has been actively in
terested in the elimination of profiteer
‘ing and speculation in the distribut
Jing trades by regulating the profits
onto a pre-war normal basis in onde
‘that no greater tax should be places

THE “CULMINATORS.””
(With Apologies to The Freeman.)
‘Th: elndianapolis Ledger hews to
the line. In news, and opinion it
seoks to tell the trath for “the God
of things as they are.” In a previous
issue we saw fit to adve.sely criti
Gize the attitude of Mr. Eugene
Booze at the St. Louis convention.
‘After reading the gentleman's at
tempted defense of himself we are
still of the opinion that he funked
and funked badly. It is easy to see
that the real issie—the Dig issue—
was not big enough to make Hooze
forget a little issue—HINSS LF!
What does he mean” by calling
Howard his “political adversiry?”
Booze was not a candidate, Accord
ing to his own explanation he was
more concerned in keeping his own
mess of pottage in Mississippl than
he was about seeing a Colored inan
In a position to retiect honor on the
Necroes in the remaitier of | the
United States. If the vote had not
been close—something Ike thirty-
eight to ten, polities being what
they are—he might afford to pose as
political Puritan, but twenty-three
bigbrained men, wiost of them white,
after listening to the same evidence
that Booze heard, decided that
Howard's claims were not founded on
“punk.” "He says: “No one expected
to hear anything from Roscoe Conk-
ling Simmons or myself, but of
course it was planned by the Mul-
vahill people that | should be heard
if any one else spoke for Howard.”
That is to say, Mr. Booze bad noth
ing to contribute to the argument,
nothing to contribute to the iacts,
hhe was the nigger to catch a nigger.
They brought him along as a sort of
“sic“em-Tige.” He says that he was
angry becouse they took him for a
white man, Some stories are too
thin, this fs too thick. ‘There is no
reason for Mr, Booze to boast that
his argument “changed the votes of
Mr. Calder and Mr. Hemenway, The
wonder is that it didn't change the
vote of every other white man pres-
ent, since the spectacle of a black
nan standing in a convention plead-
ing for the continued degradation of
his own brothers might very natural
ly be thought valid reasons for heep-
ing ‘em in it. He says that “he Is
perfectly willing to listen to such
hien as Henry Lincoln Johnson and
Walter Cohen.” | Well, why didn't
you listen to ‘em? They wanted the
same thing that Simmons wanted,
that Church wanted, that Howard
wanted, Simmons was fighting for
his race—Chureh was fighting for
his race—Howard was fiehting for
hfs race--Cohen Was fighting for his
race, Booze has the nerve to con-
gratulate® himself on winning out in
an argument over Simmons.” But
he ditn’t win out in an argument,
though we can forgive him for being
proud of wiat he thought was a
victory over the brilliant orator—
he won out in a onepart act of
asinine stupidity or premeditated
treachery—take your nick! He tells
us that he wanted Mulvahill“be-
cause the latter believes in. giving
the Negro a man's chance in life,”
‘but he arose in the convention and

told everybody there that he was
one Negro who didn’t want that
chance! He says he represents “a
corporation worth a half a million.”
What of that? Church represents a
corporation worth a WHOLE ONE
and he’s the corporation! To a
greater extent than any Negro of re
cent times, not even excepting
Booker T. Washington, has Roscoe
Simmons ‘succeeded in serving his
people. He has touched the heart
and conscience of the American peo:
ple at a time when they stood most
in need of inspiration—most in need
of “the voice erying in the wilder
ness.” Booze’s claim that “he is a
weakling, acknowledging himselt
and his race the wards of the Re
publican pa:ty and nation” is prompt
ed by the same brand of remorse
which led Judas Iscarlot to go ou
and hang himself. “Bob” Chureh is
about the only wealthy Negro in
the United States who is using tha
wealth to help his less fqrtunat
‘brethren batter down the obstacle:
which confront them. He comes
from a fighting sire and his bratn
matches his pocketbook. No nat
who knoys him could be persuade
that he Would champion a dirty
jeatise. Cohen is one of the most
gifted politicians we have ever had
the recognized equal of any whit
