ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT MEHARRY MAGNIFICENT AUDIENCE AT RYMA ONE HUNDRED GRADUATES DISTINGUISHED VISIT Genuine patriotism marked the closing of the great Meharry Medical College, which exercises were held from the Ryman Auditorium Thursday night, at which time more than one hundred graduates received their diplomas for medicine, dentistry, nurse training and pharmacy. The magnificent audience that witnessed the closing exercise was held, spell bound by the scenes incident to the occasion. Distinguished visitors from various states in the Union were present and were noticeable in the audience. The class this year was among the most cosmopolitan that has finished from this institution, nation-wide, which can boast of having sent forth more than four-fifths of all the trained physicians, nurses, dentists and pharmacists following their profession in the nitted States. While the commencement proper began last week with the baccalaureate sermon at the Meharry auditorium last Sunday, the climax was reached Thursday night. Promptly at the time appointed the processional march was played and the long line of graduates filed down the aisles, and as each passed they were DR. GEO. W. HUBBARD. President of Meharry Medical College, who awarded the diplomas to the 1918 class of more than 100 graduates. loudly applauded by the audience. On the countenance of every one there appeared determination to succeed. Hundreds of the audience had particular interest in this or that student, all of whom had spent from two to eight years in Nashville pursuing their literary as well as professional training. Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, the president of the college, called the meeting to order, after the audience had sung an inspiring air. Invocation by Rev. S. M. Utley, Dr. stated in the opening remarks that Meharry had been among the first schools in the country to offer its service and the service to the entire student body to the President of the United States, the Commander-in-chief of the army and that nearly two hundred Meharry graduates are now holding commission in the United States' army, and it was learned that the entire graduating class has already registered, subject to call for service. The principal speaker of the evening was Dr. Cary E. Morgan, pastor of the Vine Street Christian Church. His was an element as well as a patriotic address. Dr. Morgan will be remembered by the citizens of Nashville as being among those who were in the van of the organization of the Law and Order League, and has been instrumental in many advanced movements in the city. Dr. Morgan said, "I rejoice when I know you are needed especially, and that you are equipped efficiently to help in this great war. I am sure you will make your efficiency felt in the cause of freedom. The word freedom is coming into our daily conversation, collected as it was in the faith of our fathers. It is to be interpreted by you. My heart is on tip toe when I think of your preparedness to answer the call for service." Throughout his address he punctuated his remarks with compliments for the great President Hubbard and faculty. Dr. J. Hubbard, in Ohio, Ohio, Mr. Wm, Nelson a trustee and Dr. F. A.

The Association went on record as highly approving the course taken and work done by the President, Dr. Hubbard. The annual address, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, was very pointed and insightful. Wednesday of this week, at 3:30 p.m., there was a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the College, held in the offices of Dr. H. W. Morgan. Among those present from outside of Nashville, were Dr. J. A. Kumler of Hamilton, Ohio. He is an ex-president of Walden, also Mr. L. N. Gatch of Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. H. W. Hall and C. L.

THE FRONT CONFERENCE EJCELLENT RECORD MADE—BUSINESS MEN AND FIRMS OF CITY PRAISED FOR GENEROSITY—OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR NEXT YEAR. CLOSING FIRST YEAR'S WORK. At the close of this month the local Colored Y. M. C. A. will have rounded out its first year's work in the new home located on the corner of Fourth Ave. and Cedar St., just across the street from the street car railway transfer station. The work has been elementary for the most part., but those who have watched the development of things about the Colored "Y" are reasonably sure that a better record could have hardly been made under the circumstances. It will be recalled that men of good judgement are profuse in their criticisms of the purchase of the property which is now the home of the Colored Association. The predicted that it would take about twelve months to demonstrate that the Board of Directors, the Committee of Management, along with the Advisory Board had on its hands a white elephant without a circus. When the Committee of Management, along with the joint committee made up of white and colored citizens, met a little more than a year ago to work out plans to determine the budget for the first year's trial at Association work in what was then known as the old Duncan Hotel, little did they think that the $8,000.00 budget, which they deemed necessary to keep the building open for the first year, would be so well met by the young men themselves. There is every good reason to believe that at the close of the present month an annual record will be disclosed covering the doings of the past year which will be an ample surprise to all friends of the work. The Committee of Management in its meeting a few evenings ago was loud in its praise of the business men and firms who had so shown them favors during the past twelve months. Among those who stood highest on the list was the Cassetty Coal Company, Phillips-Trawick Co., Cain Sloan, Phillip and Eutoff, H. J. Grimes and oC., Crone and Jackson and Hermitage Hardware Co. The Executive Secretary, Wm. N. Morris, called the Committee's attentio to the fact that the Central M. C. A. and the entire employed staff had watched while the committee worked away. He said further that they had stood by them as big brothers. It will be recalled that the Board of Directors, immediately upon turning the building over to the Committee, insisted that they would be expected to manage thistitution and to look after the operating expenses. It is stated that the record shows that payments amounting to more than $400.00 of current fund money have been turned over to the building fund account. So it would seem that the Committee, in a measure, has proved worthy of the trust imposed upon them. A more detailed account of the year's work will be made later. White and colored friends, who for a long time have been anxious to put Nashville on record as the first Southern city to do Association work in a building commensurate with the needs of the community, are proud of the interest which is so very manifest on the part of the young men. The prospects of the second year's work are bright and plans are already under way for perfecting a 1918 and 1919 program which will to a little greater extent than the former year meet the needs of the local young men. HENRY A. BOYD AT NEW ORLEANS. Rev. H. A. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the Sunday School Congress and Assistant Secretary of the Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn., delivered the goods in New Orleans, Sunday morning.

At 3:30 p. m., Dr. G. W. Lucas in his auto drove the guest and party up to the First African Baptist Church door which at once opened the enthusiasm of the big Mass Meeting.—Frof Tulane Avenue Bulletin. MR. HENRY FLOYD DEAD. Mr. Henry Floyd, a valued employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) located at 523 2nd Ave. N., died Tuesday night and his funeral was held Friday afternoon from the New Hope Baptist Church, South Nashville. Mr. Floyd, who was a quiet Christian gentleman, had been employed in the press room for a number of years. A few days ago he resigned and went to work at the great Powder Plant that the Government is building at Hadley's Bend. He was taken desperately ill and several physicians were called to attend him. It was thought best to operate, which was done, but so seriously ill was he that he could not afford and death relieved from his sufferings. Mr. Floyd leaves to mourn his loss a mother, whose only child he was, a wife who was at one time employed at the same institution as her husband, and two children together with a host of friends. "Honor this father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." ```markdown ``` NEW OFFICERS MAKE ENVIABLE RECORD—ENDOWMENT TO BE REBUILT—ALL MEMBERS ARE URGED TO DO THE WHOLE DUTY. Memphis, Tenn. May 3, 1918 Special to the Globe. L. C. Moore, D. G. M. says that when he and Prof. E. Alston, D. G. S. were conducted in office, there was not a book or a roll of the Lodges turned over to them, therefore they had no way of knowing the name, location or standing of any of the Lodges. But they set about as best they could and submitted the Endowment Plan that was adopted by the Grand Lodge to as many Lodges as they could reach, and practically all of the Lodges adopted it. But when the S. C. M. received the votes and compared them with the roll of the Lodges in the state they saw they all of the Lodges had not voted, hterefore the S. C. M. advised that we resubmit the Endowment Plan to the Lodge to vote. Then we wrote Grand Secretary Neelham to send us the roll of the Lodges in the Sate and the records of the Secretaries which he did. Prof Alston, D. G. S. communicated with all of the Lodges, and it is surprising to know how readily they respond with their Grand Lodge taxes and Constructive tax, and how anxious they are to have the Endowment resettled. They have learned that the Endowment department of an order increases the stability of its members and raises the moral tone of the order and puts a premium upon thrift and saving, which is so essential to the welfare of our people. Our boys are called to arms, our boys are going to war, giving them as a patriotic duty. Many their mothers, sisters and wives are who go with brave hearts, carrying them loving memories will not return. It is our duty to rebuild our Endowment and throw it's strong and helpful arms about their dependent ones, while their boys give their lives to make it safe for democracy, let us do our best to make it safe for the dependent ones. Could we ever again be happy, knowing that we had failed to do our duty, while they are doing theirs? We are now resubmitting the Endowment Plan to the members for their approval. This is the time for the drawing together of all of our energies and making it safe for our widows and democracy. Let there be no slackers. Good loyal, active Brothers and Ruthies wanted for deputies. SUNDAY, MAY 1 "Honor this father a thy days may be lo which the Lord thy WORSHIP AT SOM DAY-HONOR Y GREAT FOLK SONG MUSICAL Add Several Thousand Dollars to M. C. A. Building Fund—Mr. David T. Howard Breaks Record "An audience of over five thousand people last night heard a selected chorus of Negro voices render their ever popular old time melodies in a manner which has, probably not been equalled before in our city." Thus began the Atlanta Constitution in its issue of May 1, in commenting upon the big musical that was given at the Auditorium-Armory on the evening of April 30th for the benefit of the new building fund of the Y. M. C. A. In addition to the $2,500 that was taken in at the door on the sale of tickets, $7,500 was raised on the inside, making a total for the evening of more than $12,000. This unannounced feature was carried out by Mr. J. K. Orr, President of the Red Seal Shoe Factory, and Rev. P. James Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist Church. In a few well chosen words Mr. Orr stated the present needs of the Y. M. C. A. and then introduced Dr. Bryant, who made a masterful appeal that resulted in the above figures. Twelve fortunes and dreams in the form of makes a new record that is hard to beat for a musical. These figures sound like Grand Opera, and since Atlanta did not have Grand Opera this year this musical was used in its place and on the same date. Here is the heading of a double-column article that appeared in the Sunday Atlanta Journal, April 28th: "HERE'S ATLANTA'S OWN SUBSTITUTE FOR • GRAND OPERA." And among other things this same article said: "This concert by our Negro people, for our Negro young men is a great idea. We want all Atlantas to help put it over big." The Georgian in referring to the EVEN BISHOPS PRESENT— STRONG SERMONS PREACHED —BISHOP COTTRELL SPOKE ON "CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP" COMMITTEES APPPOINTED. The twelfth session of the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church of America held its first session in St. Mark M. E. Church. Seven Bishops and General officers, about four hundred clerical and lay delegates compose this body. Bishop L. H. Holsey, of Georgia, Senior Bishop of the church presided. Fervent devotional exercises conducted by the several bishops marked the beginning of this auspicious opening. Bishop E. Cottrell, Holly Springs. Miss., was introduced and preached a strong forceful, spiritual, introductory sermon. He chose as his theme "Christian Leadership," and declared in his opening sentences that God always had a man prepared for any emergency that may arise, but experience and observation, which had come to him, led him to believe that God chose a man to lead his people and his cause who had been faithful in small things before being called to fields of greater usefulness. He did not believe in the promise of activity to do effective work without some mistake, but he did believe that men called of God to do heroic service were men of clean hearts and the errors which they would make were rather errors of the head and not of the heart. He gave examples, Moses Elijah, Daniel, Gillian as God's chosen men whom he selected to do the work for the world in their day and generation. After the sermon Bishop Lane, of Jackson, Tenn., often designated as the Missionary Bishop of the church, led in fervent prayer. Then followed the Lord's Supper in which the above five hundred persons participated. Afternoon Session. After an internisson of thirty minutes the organization of the General Conference began. Bishop Holsey, the Senior Bishop presided. The following Committees were appointed: (1) Credentials. (2) Committee on Public Worship. (3) Committee on Rules. (4) Election of Secretaries. (5) Secretaries were elected as follows: Dr. M. J. Brenson of Georgia; Mr. W. M. Bobo of Arkansas; Prof G. S. Goodman of Mississippi; J. E.

ROBINSON TELLS OF HIS CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., of Knoxville, Tenn., presiding elder of the Knoxville district of the African Methodist Church, delivered an address Sunday evening at 4 o'clock at St. John A. M. E. Church, to a large audience of Negroes. His subject was, "President Wilson, the War, and the Negro after the War." Dr. Robinson was secretary and spokesman of a committee that was sent to Washington recently by the A. M. E. Bishop Council to urge before the President the difficulties of the Negro. They had an audience with the President on March 14, and according to the statements of Dr. Robinson, the President gave the committee great encouragement. In his address Dr. Robinson was patriotic and urged the Negro people to be patriotic and do everything to help win the war. He said, in part: "As a part of America's citizenship the Negro has answered the call of President Wilson and gladly gone forth to help fight for the cause of democracy. As a committee we went to Washington and reminded the President of the Negro's loyalty in all of the wars that the country has ever engaged in. We told him of the unjust and inhuman treatment meted out to us in various sections of the country. We asked him to help us in defense. The President sent us away from the White House filled with home an encouragement for the future. His words to us were words of cheer and were like music to a suffering and helpless people. "Now, let us do our part in helping to win the war. Let us be proud to give our sons to die, if need be, on the battlefront for the establishment of democracy (such as defined by President Wilson) in the world. "Let us buy Liberty Bonds and purchase Thrift stamps to the limit of our ability. Let us help in the conservation of food and other supplies, so that the American soldier and the Allied armies may be supplied while fighting the battles of liberty. "But while doing these things, let us of the South remind the white man of the South that the Negro is anxious to show to the world that right here in the South is where we are looking to receive help and friendship. We have given our toil and we have shown our white friends of the South that we are patient and that we trust them, now when thousands of our sons must go and fight side by side with their sons, we want Bankhead, of Alabama, and not Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts to take the stand at the bar of public defense for our cause. We want Governor Henderson, and not Frank O. Lowden, to speak for us. We want Helfin, and not Longworth, to see some good in the Negro. We want Rev. George R. Stewart, the South's greatest preacher, to thunder out against the wrongs done us, and not Gunsaulus, of Chicago. We want Woodrow Wilson, of the South, to see in us the role of civility in the country. When that is done the Negro will prove to the South, and to the whole country, that we are the most grateful people on the globe. If the Southern white man will join in the fight to wipe from the status books the laws that are placed thereon to degrade us, and will give us justice before the courts, and decent and equal accommodations on the railroads, and stop lynching the members of our race for every frivolous offense, we will show our patriotism in this struggle by lining the banks of the Atlantic and, if ships are not at hand, we will attempt to swim to Germany to get the kaiser. "The white man has been too good to the Germans and everybody else who came to this country, and he has done so much to keep the Negro down, until we at times become a little suspicious. If the white man wishes to know the heart of the Negro he can't find that out by styling one Negro a leader without the consent of the Negroes. He has tried that. They made one great Negro and the Negro have nineteenth of the Negro race never did recognize him as their leader. Let the white man know that the Negro will follow men like Osseur W. Adams, B. J. Davis and others like the great Bishop Conner, who spoke at the Sociological Congress, and not men set up for the purpose of bossing him. My mother used to tell me that the slavery-time Negro would always love the big white man, but a hired overseer never. "Tell the white man that we helped Washington at Valley Forge, we helped Perry at Lake Erie; we helped Jackson at ew Orleans; we helped Grant at Vicksburg and Appomattox; we helped Lee during the entire struggle of the South by obediently staying on the farms and feeding his army, and caring for his women and children. Tell me, we followed Dawry and Shafter and followed through the Spanish-American war. We went with Pershing down in Mexico, and in all of these struggles the records at Washington show that we made good. And what do we see as part of our pay? Jim crow cars, segregation acts and disfranchisement clauses to keep us from participating in the government. We see upward and downward trends and since the Civil war. But having faith in the government, believing in the final triumph of right as written in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, we once more eager- ANS PATRIOTIC SERVICE SUNDAY AFTERNOON—PYTHIAN ARS DISPLAYED—ROSCOE Sunday afternoon May 5th, was a day long to be remembered by the members of the nkights of Pythias and their friends in the city of Nashville. The central figure at the great patriotic meeting held under the auspice of the Knights of Pythias, was the greatest of American orators, Rescue Conkling Simmons of Louisville, Ky. Long before the speaker arrived nearly every seat on the lower floor of the Bilou theatre was taken. The galleries were utilized to otake care of the ever-flow crowd after the arrival of Col. Simmons. While the crowd was assembling the audience was entertained with music from an electric piano. A most pressing incident in the southern prior to the speaking was the raising of the Pythian Service flag. As the flag was being raised the crowd broke into a storm of applause. The service flag as presented represented 385 pythians who are officers in the National army fighting for their country. This flag is now on display at the Y. M. C. A. on the Fourth Ave., side of the building. DR. J. P. CRAWFORD, Grand Chancellor K. of P., Jurisdiction of Tennessee, who was Master of Ceremonies. At about three thirty o'clock the distinguished speaker of the evening appeared amid a storm of deafening applause. Immediately upon the arrival of Col. Simmons, Dr. J. P. Crawford, the presiding officer starred what proved to be the greatest patriotic meeting ever held in Nashville by a fraternity by having the vast audience sing America led by Dr. S. S. Caruthers, Rev. Presston Taylor Brig. Gen., of the uniform Rank offered prayer. The great Fisk male quartet song several selections among which was Prof. Work's latest war song. "Oh Freedom don't you see?" Another pleasing number was "Remember now the Creator." The Grand Chancellor introduced the Hea. J. C. Napier who in turn introduced Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, patriot and orator. For more than an hour and thirty minutes Col. Simmons held more than seven hundred persons spell-bound by his mutiless oratory. He urged his people to stand by the war, possible that the war must be war and liberty be insured to all people. During his remarks he made it very plain that the Negro had their record and had always been loyal to the central government in the war. That that which appealed most to his hearers was his frankness and the honesty of his purpose in regard to the great problems confronting the American Negro. The distinguished speaker ended his element address by making a strong appeal to every patriotic American to do all that he could to help his country to win the gigantic war now racing in Europe. Among the distinguished citizens who were on the platform with Col. Simmons were: J. P. Crawford, A. W. Pite, T. Clay Moore, J. C. Napier, R. L. Boyd, Bishop L. B. Scott, Dr. S. W. Crosstain, A. M. Cockrell, Dr. J. A. Napier, J. R. Kenan, Rev. Preston Taylor, N. W. Ryder, Prof. J. W. Work, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, J. W. Work, Dr. E. W. White, Walden University, J. A. Jones, D. D. T. A. Williams, Franklin, Tenn., E. V. Anthony, Galston, Tenn., Dr. C. V. Roman, Mrs. D. Wellington Berry, Rev. Allen Charles Winn Lebanon. The Pythians of Nashville feel that much good has been done by bringing Col. Simmons to Nashville and he will in all probability return to the city in July at the time of the Grand Session of the order. By grab the sword and the rifle, and don the American uniform and follow Wilson and Pewshing to France, and then we will mix and mingle our blood with the blood of the proud white American, and we are coming home with victory for the flag of our great republic, an dif we are not accorded the rights that follow such struggle, and that have followed such efforts throughout all of the ages of the past, the democracy for which we say we are fighting will be a farce, and will become the laughing stock of the world." Dr. Robinson spoke under the auspices of the Colored Citizens' League. —Birmingham Reporter. --- NUMBER 28 # TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food.

It has not been stated how much money was raised in this manner, but it is felt that a large sum was raised, as one team of Morehouse (that is two men) raised $30. All of the colleges of the city took part in this movement. The Morehouse Y. M. C. A. is giving a matinee musical for the purpose of raising funds on Saturday for Kings Mountain Conference.

It was believed that the cold weather has damaged the wheat crops but the farmers say not. Prospects are still good. An increased acreage was sown last fall. The farmers thought they would have to call in their neighbors to sit up with the corn they planted when they saw ice last, and their Irish potatoes bitten down by the frost. It was cool last Sunday but the Sunday school was well attended. The fine brood mare of Mr. John Kennedy has a, beautiful colt. For a safe way to raise chickens see Mrs. Amanda Kennedy.

Some of them are not eating their eggs, but saving them and selling the same. The girls are crocheting and selling this also. Now all who have not thrift stamps are putting their money into the treasury and when he or she has a quarter, a Thrift Stamp is then added to the book. Hopling to have a war certificate soon.

MOTON WRITES OF NEGRO IN THE WAR The May issue of the World's Work, Published by Doubleday, Page and Company, Garden City, New York, contains an article by Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, entitled "The Americab Negro and the World War." In concluding his article, Dr. Moton says: "War is teaching us that we are inseparably linked together here in America. Races, creeds, colors and classes all have their interests interrelated and interdependent. The test of our greatness as a nation is not in the accumulation of wealth, nor in the development of culture merely. The great test is for the fortunate to reach down and help the less highly favored, the poor, the humble—yes, the black. My race asks no special favors and deserves no special favors. It simply asks on equal chance on equal terms with other Americans, and nothing in the past record indicates other than the will give a strict account of his life. Give the Negro race responsibility, and in proportion as he has these responsibilities placed upon him, in like proportion will his experience broaden and his service in all lines reach a higher level of satisfaction. The social problems of America will never be solved by mobbing or segregating black men in the North, nor by murning and lynching in the South. Injustice and unfairness will never do it. The great Nazarene said: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me." The 1918 Sunday School Congress will be the greatest that has ever been held. Don't Miss It.

In fact, the event was more stimulating than any other that has taken place since the organization of the class, and that a smoker which all present enjoyed a much so that we are going to endeavor at least once a month. The current topic for this occasion was "How I Can Build up the Sunday School" There were nineteen present. In our midst there was one who knew not Christ in the pardoning of his sins and he asked us to pray for him that he might be able to find Christ precious to his soul A special prayer was offered for the young man by Deacon McAdoo. The program was as follows: Song, class, "Down by the riverside" Invocation. Rev. J. C. Fields Song by class—"Swing Low, Sweet Charlot Current Topic—"How I Can Help Build the Sunday School" Song by class—"Steal Away" Master of ceremonies, Henry Black.

Shackleford, Supt. of the Sunday school, had every department of the church represented allowing each speaker two and three minutes, the pastor was spoken off in high terms, among the visitors to respond were as follows.

Sunday school was largely attended and the scholars all seem to have studied their lessons well, and were able to give very bright answers to all questions. At 11 o'clock our honorable pastor, Rev. W. H. hWittaker filled the rostrum and delivered the charge to the candidates and he certainly poured out a strong spiritual sermon, a soul-screring and spirit reviving one. The old sheep were made to rejoice as well as the young Lambs. We then went down to the river and had the pleasure of seeing 16 candidates take on the mission. We had a glorior covenant meeting, shipping the candidates in the church. At $ 0'clock the pastor again filled the stand and delivered in our hearing God's message to the berayer of His children.

The flower of our young manhood has been called to the front to help win the war. Everybody and every organization, should conserve energy to the end that the victory be ours. We need all the resources at our command, we need to stop every leak, we need to be saving in all things. There are several, big gatherings scheduled to meet this year. They should postpone their convives lvls this "cruel war is over." we need no grand lodge meetings of any description, but rather let the subordinate lodges see to it that those of their membership, who have been called to the colors do not get unfinancial, etc. The time is not propitious for any great gathering this year. The National Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, who were to meet in Indianapolis, this year, have about agreed to have no meeting. The Grand United order of Odd-Fellows through their sub-committee of management, have called off the B. M. C. It is rumored that several state organizations in Tennessee, have about come to the conclusion that this no year for Grand Lodge meetings. The cost of living is high, and delegates could scarcely get first class board for less than $2.00 per day, and then too add the railroad fare and incidental expenses, would tend to make a grand lodge very costly luxury. The Globe belives in subserving the best interest of all by eliminating all big meetings just now. THE BIRTH OF A NATION: Well we made sure the ministerial alliance knew they were wasting their valuable time when they called upon Mayor Gupton to protest "The Birth of a Nation." In the first place, Mayor Gupton has not at any time shown itself to be very partial when it comes to the Negroes hopes and aspirations. Mayor Gupton is lamentably short sighted when looking towards the brother in black. The ministerial alliance "doth protest too much" it only served to advertise the attraction which was exactly what the management desired, as the wider the publicity, the larger the crowds. If we had our way this abominable race hating play would not receive a line Notice by the way of protest in any Negro Journal. Let them show it wherever they will. It harms the whites much more than it does the blacks. But, in the meantime the Negro is fighting to make the world safe for democracy. MOTHER'S DAY Day after tomorrow is Mother's Day. Do not forget that mother dera if living is the sweetest, and most completest being in all Christendom, if dead remember that off she kissed you, caressed you and told you of the beauties and pitfalls of life. Do not forget to wear the customary flower as a token of your love for her. Remember her as she sheat at the old family table after supper, read a chapter from the Bible, and prayed that no evil might befall you. She was your earthly angel, your all in all. The Globe admonishes its readers to wear the rose of white, or the rose of red as the exigencies of the occasion may demand. COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons made one of his fervid addresses at the Bijou Theatre Sunday to a S. R. O. house. It would be needless for us to say, that he captivated his audience and held them enchanted for over two hours. He is an orator of the "rarest hue serene." As a platform speaker, he is ranked as the foremost in this country. The colonel is very much in demand throughout the United States to boost war preparations which he never fails to do. The Grand Court of Calanthe, through its progressive Grand worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Cora E. Burke showed true blue last week when an investment was made in Liberty Bonds. The Calantheans are the only Negro female organization in Tennessee to buy bonds. This fraternity is in a very vigorous condition having plenty money. Its wise executive shows much patriotism which permeates the whole Juridscieltion. Mrs. Burke is surrounded by a corps of intelligent and energetic officials who deserve their share of praise. The governor of Missouri has appointed X. P. Wilfley successor to William Joel Stone. The new senator will have no use for gum shoes. He will fley. The rugged honesty of Hilary E. Howse, is in such a contrast. No Camflouge about the ex-mayor. Stick a pin there. Cussing the kaiser is a harmless pastime, if anybody enjoys it; but what we need most is more men and munitions. What has become of the old fashioned girl who desperately attempted to hide her ankles from view? Even if you can't sing "The Star strung a Banner," perhaps you can act the spirit of it. Also it may be deduced from his decision that the houn'dawg candidate has not lost hope. Women's clothing, too, is to be made of paper in Germany. Tissue paper, doubt. One trouble with old age is that with plenty of time to sleep you are very wakeful. The garden slogan appears to be in part, "beet the kaiser." But, Hilary E. Howse, barred the "Clansmen." And, the Birth of a Nation showed on. Say, what about a thrift stamp? IN MEMORIAM. In Loving Remembrance of Our Dead Mother, Mrs. Sallie Wilson. We miss thee from thy place, A shadow oer our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face, We miss the thy kind and willing hand, Thy fond and earnest care Our home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere, Like ivy on the withered oak, When all things else decay, Our love for you will stay, Always green and never fade away. Sally missed thee three daughters, Mrs. Anne Hughes, Mrs. Mamie Wilson Lee, Miss Sadie Wilson. If you have a mother, bring her to the Mothers' Day service at the First Baptist Church May 12th. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dear little sister Maude Bell Reeves, who departed this life May 17, 1917. A precious one from us has gone; A voice we loved is still. A space is vacant in our home That never can be filled. Dearest one, we have laid thee in the peaceful grave's embrace. But thy memory will be cherished. Till we see thy heavenly face.

Bridgeport, Ala., May 8, 1918. Phillip, often sit and think of you, When I am all alone; For Memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. O, the memory of that morning, As I stood with breaking heart, Seeing the one I loved so dearly Pierced by death's most cruel dart Far into the night I wandered, Dreaming of the by-gone years; How you used to shield my sorrow, Away would vanish all my fears. You are not forgotten, dear husband, Nor will you ever be; For as long as life and memory last, We will always think of thee. Sadly missed by your devoted wife, Maude Thompson and son Phillip Thompson, Jr. daughter, Lowenre Thompson, and niece, Marguerite Ransom. MR. DAVIS WRITES TO GLOBE. Petersburg, Va., May 1, 1918.

New York—The United Civic League, Inc., at its regular monthly meeting in April made all necessary arrangements to extend its political activities so as to cover the United States, thus becoming a national organization. The framers and charter members of the League foresaw five years ago that in the course of events a National Organization was formed to prepare the wisely prepared for it by having its charter to cover such a movement. The object of the National United Civic League will be: To reclaim our lost, strayed or stolen Franchise by electing qualified members of our unit to city councils, Board of Aldermen, State Legislatures, Municipal Judgeships and to the United States Congress, when and wherever our voting strength may accomplish same and to operate morally and financially to bring about such success. Reverdy C. Ransom's Campaign for Congress rekindled the fires of hope and aspiration in the bosom of the Civic Leaguers, and their work has been consumed. The National United Civic League is now a bona fide organization, with headquarters at 184 West 135th street, New York. The national body has taken on the role of a civic leader and of the United Civic League Inc., becoming a branch thereof. Both the national and the local organizations will be housed at 184 West 135th street. The United Civic League Inc. is the parent organization and Local No. 1, most of whose officers have been made officers of the national organization. John M. Royall was elected national president; Mrs. Howard Gould, vice chairman-at-large; Reverdy C. Ransom, secretary; Jos W. Pritchard, treasurer, and W. H. Willis, recording secretary. Fiction writers of work were appointed, which included nearly the full Board of Governors of the League. The following States were repre sented by the following persons in the formation of the National United Civic League: New York—John M. Royall, Mrs Howard Gould, Reverdy C. Ransom Miss Jessie Ackerman. New Jersey—J. W. Rankin. Virginia—E. Hunter. Alabama—H. N. Newcomm. Missouri—N. C. Buren. Oklahoma—C. R. Tucker. Texas—Chas. W. Abington. Arkansas—Owen Keys. The conference lasted one week and each step was weighed care and each step was measured that anced and has behind it many men and women of splendid ability. NEGROES SHOW PATRIOTISM. BY DEFENS. Hampton, Va., May—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, referring in an address at Hampton Institute to President Wilson and the present crisis, recently said: "It is the time when every man and every woman in America—every patriotic American—should put behind decent American—should put behind our wise, courageous President every ounce of effort he or she has—physical and moral—so that our President may be able to stand back of and help those men in the trenches of France to face the most formidable foe that ever drew sword against democracy and civilization. This is the time when every one of us must stand firmly and squarely back the foe and are working to save America, to save England and France, to save Belgium, to save the world. "I love my race more than ever because not a single Negro, so far as I have been able to discover, has been arrested as a spy—not one. Absolutely, the Negroes have stood loyal to their country and to their flag. They are going to continue to do it. "Young people of Hampton, wherever you are, whether you are in the draft or whether you are out, give your country all your support and backing. Buy Thrift Stamps, buy Liberty Bonds, if you can.

Company C, the best in the whole Battalion, has been under quarantine since April 25th on account of the scarlet fever. The quarantine was lifted yesterday. This caused Top Sergeant H. A. Kean (formerly of Fisk University) to be very much perturbed, as he had two very charming young ladies visiting him from Columbus. Their visit was some what interrupted upon being informed of the quarantine. Supply Sergeant Vitton reports a perplexing problem. It seems that one of our Corporals cannot be fitted with shoes. The yard sick registers violin cases but the Quartermaster does not provide them. The boys of this battalion are getting up a fine line of base ball. The famous stars of Fisk; Sgt Walker, Sgt. Kean, Corp Ford, Sgt. Curren and many other stars will be present on the day of the game. A fine spirit exists among the men of this Battalion There is no grumbling or complaining. It is due to our good Sgt. H. A. which assures the efficiency of the 485 The high purpose of Sgt. Kean's Kean's struggle seems to dominate all, and there is certain to be something doing when the 485 get into action on the front. Our kitchen police and cooks are now members of cap and gown fraternity. Mess Sgt Brown has provided them with immaculated headgear, aprons and overalls. We are now getting the regular down town Brown skin service these days. We are inclined to think girls get more girlish about the age of 30. Do you want to know how to lay hands on the boys of your community and bring them into your school? If so, COME TO THE CONGRESS and LET GENERAL CRAWFORD TELL YOU HOW. NATIONAL COLORED SOLDIER'S COMFORT COMMITTEE. Knoxville, Tenn. May 5—As the result of its initial rally, the local unit here of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, headed by Prof. C. A. Cansler, principal of the colored high school here, sent a substantial check as a contribution to the national headquarters at Washington's two million dollar fund being raised for relief of needy dependents of colored soldiers. Knoxville' is the first Tennessee city to EXPERIENCE POINTS to the undoubted fact that a savings bank account arted while young and added to regularly is the surest road to prosperity. Hard work alone will not insure financial success. It takes money to make money and to have it one must save as he earns. Spend all and you'll have nothing. Save regularly and you'll have plenty. stage a big rally. For the purpose the managers of the largest and finest white opera house in the city donated the use of the theatre free. A big patriotic meeting was held, with a program that was most interesting and patriotic, the meeting being preceded by a big parade.

Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, on the 11th inst. Mr. Scott will be to speak at the city auditorium in the afternoon.

The men as they pass through Nashville. Miss Emma Ramsey, who is employed at the station, is always deeply interested in the coming of the troop trains and in many ways she helps the members of the Canteen Service, going about her work in a quiet and capable manned. When trains bearing colored soldiers stop in Nashville, Miss Ramsey is sure to be on hand and ready to lend her aid in looking after the comfort of the soldiers. She goes among the men, and with kindness and dignity, greets them and cheers them on their way. She helps them with their mail, their post cards and letters, and when after the train has pulled out she looks over the mail, which she has gathered from the men for mailing out, if she finds a letter or card without a stamp, she from her own purse furnishes the money necessary for the postage. More than one dollar has this good woman spent from her own earnings and many a letter reaches its destination because of her unfailing kindness and generosity. Sunday last was no day for rest for the Canteen Workers. Six train loads of troops passing through there troops were several trains of colored soldiers and Miss Ramsey worked hard all day. The Soldiers were very hard. That was being done for them and this encouraged the workers greatly. LINING UP FOR WAR IN TENNESSEE (Southern Publicity Committee.) The director of the Tennessee State Council of Defense has, like his son, donned khaki for the duration of the war. As Major Smith his dynamic energies are bent on helping his state attain 100 per cent efficiency in war. "No," he boomed in reply to an inquiry, "we're not planning, these April meetings for Negroes—nor for whites, either. They are to be held in every county court-house in this state for the people of Tennessee, whose duty and privilege it is to get behind the government in this war. We call everybody to the county meetings; and white men and black ones talk to them when they get there. Haven't they all got to help—fight, and buy Liberty bonds and thrift banks, back the Red Cross man, back the Black man's war nor a black man's war; it's America's war; and every man, woman and child must help win it. That's our plan; and we're carrying it out." A Negro's View of It. Members of both races confirmed this statement. "In making out the draft questionnaires," said a leading Nashville Negro, "the white lawyers asked the colored lawyers to help. They worked in the same room. All understood no social question was involved: it was a service to our government. The call was made and responded to on that basis." Tennessee Women in Line. The women's branch of the State Council has a colored division, with a colored woman doctor at its head. She reported her work at the recent state meeting at which Dr. Anna Shaw spoke; and another colored woman spoke. "We pass on to the colored chairman every phase of our work," said an official at state headquarters; "and she works it out among her people." A Country Crimp for the Kaiser. At the recent meeting of Tennessee colored industrial supervisors for the colored country schools, two supervisors reported for three counties—Hamilton, Bradley, McMinn—127,000 quarts of food canned by colored families connected with the schools, 19,000 pounds of dried fruit stored. In one of these counties a professor in the University of Tennessee gave the colored teachers a short course in war and school work; and in all of them white school superintendents and others helped. In Hamilton county 1,320 colored country mothers signed the food pledge, 200 joined the Red Cross, and the children sold $500 worth of thirt stamps. Arnold Soldiers. The women of the Nashville's patriotic white organizations recently prepared packages of cigarettes, postcards, and the like, for a trainload of troops routed through that city. On its arrival they found, to their surprise, that the soldiers were black. After a moment of hesitation they went forward. "We prepared these comforts for American soldiers," they said, "and DID NOT HAVE TO DO IT." MR. C. C. BELL A CONGRESS DELEGATE.

You must judge a man by what he has accomplished. Prof. Keyes has been superintendent for nine years and during that time eight new schools or additions to old schools have been built in almost a school year. More money has been spent for education during the nine years than in the history of the schools of Nashville." Dr. Smith also said: "Superintendent of the school is the most powerful or greatest. The merciful use of power, authority is a sure attribute of greatness. Prof. Keyes is not an autocrat. He is careful of the feelings of others. During the nine years of his superintendency, amid all the vexations and multi-ultralDATES and perplexities of his office. I never once saw him irritated or angry. His forbearing and unabusable use of power demonstrated true greatness in him in a plain and unmistakable manner. He is also a Christian superintendent. In the church and the Sunday school and has served as superintendent of the Sunday school of his church. Prof. Keyes believes that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God and that the end of it is to Him." Virgins, Natalie Lawrence, Lolin Mae Ewing, Bertha Adams, Bessie Chandler.

Tuskegee, Institute, Ala.—Great interest is being manifested in the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 21st to 23rd, 1918. The Local Negro Business League of Atlantic City is making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the League who is now acting as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, and temporarily located in Washington, D. C., is in close touch with the Atlantic City situation and states that he will issue some important announcements very soon. A feature of the program this year will be the announcement of the three silver awards offered by Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau, to the three committees doing the most effective clean-up work in the National Negro Health Week Campaign, which began April 21st to 28th. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, said recently: "We are much gratified over the fine results from the Health Week Campaign this year. So many communities are doing in this quiet but effective way, a work which is going to mean much to the race and to make efficient living." (on C. Napier, President of the League, Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott are working to make the meeting this year one of the best in the history of the organization. WHEAT FOR LIBERTY The only question for every true-hearted American today is: "What can I do to help win the war?" The only answer is "Give instantly the霜霜." "That service now is until the next harvest for you to share your wheat with your comrades across the sea—for you who can afford it to give your whole share to them." Wheat Is Now a Luxury for Invalids, Babies and the Very Poor-It Is Now Fit Food for Strong Men and Women. Autocracy compels, and gives no reasons. Democracy requests, and gives reasons. Are you ready for Democracy? The allied countries of Europe lack wheat because: Belgium, formerly strong, splendid and free, has America only to look to for daily bread; England formerly imported her wheat from South America and Australia as well as from North America; France and Italy have lost to the army the majority of their farmers; their women are needed in munition factories and in other civil occupations. Fertilizers and farming tools are lacking. The allied countries of Europe need wheat because: Bread has been one of the chief sources of nourishment. Bakery can not make raise! bread without wheat flour—French homes in particular depend on bakery; fuel and time are lacking. One bakery can supply hundreds of families and so release hundreds of pounds of coal, hundreds of hours of time. If we insist upon eating wheat needed abroad, Liberty's armies and Liberty's civil population will collapse as Russia collapsed, because the food supplies of her armies and her civil population failed. Citizens of America, it is bad enough to have those countries across the seas bear the brunt of all the fighting. It is impossible to believe that with the facts before us, there is a living man or woman who will permit those countries to starve for us also. In old times the Prophets would have cursed the bread so eaten. It needs no Prophet now to say that there is a curse for anyone in who more gratification of petals eats wheaten and that curse curse him a traitor to himself and to his country. Enough has been said and written. The one who does not now understand the situation is an ignorant or a slacker; the ignorant can't and the slacker won't understand. The real pure-bred American from now on needs only the briefest mes sage from one whom he trusts. Brother, Your Comrades Need Wheat. The Food Administrator for America has said, "My message is small and concrete, the service that we ask of you, that we ask of every well-to-do, every independent person in the United States today is that he shall abstain from the use of wheat in any form until the next harvest."

(Index No. E37.7) Washington: Government Printing Office: 1918 JUDGE TERRELL SWORN IN. Highly Honored by Members of the Bars and His Associates at the Bengal (By T. Thomas Fortune.) Washington, D. C., May 4—This day will long be memorable in the annals of the Afro-American people, as it marks a distinct advance of the race in a department of the Government in which it has not had much opportunity to serve and to distinguish itself. It is a very far cry from the Opinion of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in Dred Scott, Vs. Sanford, in 1856, that "It is held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect," to the swearing in by a Federal Judge of a colored man, for his fifth term, to be a Judge in the capital Court of Tennessee, to be a Judge of Columbia County decision is made all the more impressive in the glaring reversal which has come over the law and the spirit of the nation by the fact that Judge Terrell has been twice appointed by a Democratic President and twice confirmed by a Democratic Senate, and that he has served with conspicuous success, and continuously, in the same Federal Judicial Department for sixteen years and a half. ```markdown ``` F Erzelente Medicine Oa.

Immediately after being sworn in, the Judge was confronted in his Chambers by his associates on the bench, by a number of ladies, by a large gathering of friendly lawyers, and by the members of the Washington Lawyers' Association. His prosecution ensured, Mr. Royal A. Hughes, president of the Washington Lawyers' Association, arose, while the Judge sat in a bower of flowers, and made a feeling and eloquent address of congratulation and felicitation, and then on the part of his associates presented the Judge with an elaborate basket of flowers designed by him and a handsome brief case. Judge Terrell made an eloquent and feeling address, in which he spoke in the highest terms of the uniform courtesy of his associates on the bench, and of the members of the bar who practice in his Court, and of the honor which his associates conferred upon him in this public address and presentation. He also said he considered the occasion as a milestone, marking a long advance from 1856, when the race had no legal status. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the famous wife of the Judge, was called upon by Hon. James A. Cobb, and spoke sympathetically of the appreciation in which her husband is held by the members of the bar and his associates on the bench. The present were Mrs. Terrell and his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, Mrs. Walter Singleton, Miss Jeannette Carter and Mrs. George Burrell of Philadelphia. It was a famous occasion, one to inspire the Afro-American people if all directions to labor and to tire not for the highest and best in our national life. We have had no other occasion just like it before in the history of the United States the opening has been made, we are sure we shall have many more such as the toilsome, serpentine years come and go.

When the evening shadows gather, Softly round my lonely room, Memory comes gently creeping Softly from without the gloom. Silently the darkening shadows, Blend into a loved ones form, And my boy is with me once more, Resting gently in my arms. Could I hold him thus forever, Tightly clasped to my poor heart. But even now he's quietly slipping From me, back into the silent tomb. Now once more my arms are empty There rests no head upon my breast He has slowly faded from me, Back unto his silent rest. He has left me, oh, my darling, How I miss his happy face, And his gently spoken "Mother," And his happy pleasant ways. But one day when life is ended, And my toils on earth are over, We will then be re-united. Don't forget the date of the next Sunday School Congress—June 12-17, at Alexandria, La. MEN' WHY NOT?

Farm Hand—Well, ain't this hay? --- In presenting the third annual report of the Fireside School Training classes we are glad to let all friends know about the work that is being done in them. Our enrollment for 1917-18 is seventy-fifty-six in the morning class and sixty-one in the evening class. Twenty-eight churches and seven denominations are represented in this membership. Mr. Nebo Baptist Church holds the place of honor in the number of members, seven from that church belonging to the classes. The attendance on the part of a large number has been splendid and three of the members of the morning class are on the honor roll for being present on time, at every regular session for the entire six months. These members are Mrs. M. F. D. Alexander of Clark Church, Mrs. Church, Mrs. Sallie Murphy of Mt. Margaret Baptist Church and Mrs. Margaret Campson of Kayne Avenue Baptist Church. This is the third year Mrs. Alexander has held this record and the second year held by Mrs. Sallie Murphy. The course of instruction covered in the mourning class has included the study of the Sunday School lesson under the direction of Miss Ada F. Morgan. This has been presented by a method of finding the facts and truths, thus showing how each one may dig down into the word of God and discover the riches for herself. Miss Grace M. Eaton has conducted programs for various kinds of women meetings from material in HOPE, which have been most interesting and instructive. Studies in the life of Moses have been given by Miss Alice A. Cushing and many lessons have been brought to our lives as we have learned of this servant of God who lived so many years ago. Examinations were taken by a goodly number, those getting the highest marks were Mrs. Lena Thomas of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church and Mrs. Sophia Wingfield of Clark Memorial Baptist Church. A number of speakers have given messages to the class along various Mines Including in the list *wre Dr. Hibbard of the City Health Commission, Mires. Geo. E. Hayes of Fisk, Dr. H. P. Moore of the Sunday school department of the Southern Baptist Convention, Rev. S. L. McDewell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, 8th Ave., N., Frank Dawson, president of the City Federation of Women's Clubs Miss Jenkins, food demonstrator for United States government and Mrs. Kory of this city. Another valuable feature has been the work of Mr. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr. in leading the singing, to which he has given considerable time and effort. We are glad here to make expression of our appreciation of all these kindly services. During the year it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove one of our number from this school of earth to receive her certificate in heaven. Mrs. Ida Cage of the First Baptist Church East Nashville, was a loyal member of the class and used her influence to interest others. We missed her from our midst and our hearts were saddened by the loss we sustained but we comforted by the thought of her release from pain and that we may look forward to a meeting in the land where parting never come. The class held on Thursday evening has taken the following course. Old Testament Outline, the Sunday school lesson and the gospel of Mark. In this last named study the class has read the book of Mark through once each week, always noting some particular topic such as the miracles of Jesus, the parables, the way Jesus came into contact with people and many other subjects. In addition to studies there has been a course in First. Aid to the Inpatient with lectures by Dr. W. R. Baker Dr. O. Taylor and Dr. J. A. Lester, who gave us much valuable and interesting instruction. We are grateful to these busy doctors for their willing services. As we look back over the year that has closed, we are grateful for the occasions that have brought us together and for the hours spent in study of God's word and methods of service. We look forward to another year of hopefulness and trust the circle of the apostle and obey the injunction of the apostle to show themselves approved unto God," by rightly dividing the word of truth" may widen to include greater numbers than in all the years past. PROF MARION C. GOODWIN The sad intelligence of the late demise of Prof. Marion C. Goodwin of Columbia, who finished the normal at Allen, 99, College, '13 A. B., and was a senior in the D. D., class, '18 at Mharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., reached here last Saturday, wha was a shock to his family and many friends. He was a fine young man, fine fife player, was admired by all who knew him. We sympathize with the bereaved family in this hour of sore heart trouble. May they realize He who did this is. May they all things well. Dr. Goodwin was com missioned second lieutenant in United States army, was to have gone to the army as soon as he left school. May his relatives take the name of Jesus with them for He is more than life to any one who knows Him.

TURNER COLLEGE AND ITS FUTURE THE PRESIDENCY Turner College, the denominational school of the African Methodist, in Tennessee, located at Shelbyville, recently lost its president, in the death of Rev. L. Jas Johnson. The Johnson had served only about ten months, including the summer months of last year. His death was a distinct shock to the administration at Turner College. The trustees, at their meeting May 21st, will be confronted with the problem of choosing a man for president. A number of aspirants for the place have already put in their appearance. It is to be hoped that the trust will make haste slowly, and not allow the politicians to bring the steam under into play and make the mistake of selecting a man not fitted for the position. A great pastor may not be a competent president of a college. A "matchless orator" may be the most unfit man of all. A "great scholar" may have every other honour but which fits him for his responsible position. An eloquent preacher may be the worse off of all. men. The government would hardly place a man in charge of any military affairs who had had no military training whatever. Neither do white men place men in charge of educational institutions, who have had no training or experience in work of that kind. And this idea is growing more and more. Efficiency is the order of the day, at this time. And yet we find many of our leading men acting upon the principle, that the only thing necessary to the presidency of church school, is the ability to make big speeches or preach big sermons. They do not have the slightest idea of what it means to preside over the destinies of an institution of learning. This applies to a large extent, to all schools controlled by Negroes. The wonder is, that they succeed as well as they do. One writer to the press, has already said in regard to the presidency of Turner College, "Turner College at this time, needs more than any other one thing, a man that can shell the woods with the thought that our educational work must be conserved, hTore is no other question before the trustees that begins to be so important." To my mind, that very thing is chiefest among the non-essentials in the selection of a president of any school today. Let those who profess to sun- port the school, provide the means to make the school worth while, by brushing proper buildings, ample accommodations and comforts, and install a competent faculty, and the student will have to leave his or her school to "serve the school" or to get people to send their children to school. They will seek the school. This writer, referred to above, also declares that the president should be a man of sufficient eloquence and convincing argument that he will be able to arouse the African Methodists of the state "to their danger in allowing denominations to educate their children." I do not think we need a man for any such purpose. That argument may have had some merit in the past, during the days of "Christian intolerances," but it is too late in the day, now, for any such prattle. There is probably not an institution of learning in Nashville today, but what has students on its roll, who are not members of the denomination which fosters he school. Not only are there students of other denominations among the student body, but members of the faculty, also, belong to other churches. No, Turner College will need a man for other qualifications that he can "spellbinder" or one who can the most successfully impress the people that it is "dangerous to allow their children to be educated by other peo-ple." Turner College is a denominational school; but not a sectarian one. And in common with all other institutions of its character, that is operated by Christians of the Protestant faith, invites within its walls, all the youth of the land, regardless of denominational lines. But I not say more now. In my next I hope to say what character of man I think should be selected to fill the place of president of the institution that I gave many of the best years of my life to help build up. My praver is that the trustees will be guided by wisdom and their best judgment, and—to the bow wows, with politics. J. A. JONES, Ex-president, Turner College. P. S. It be distinctly understood that I am in no sense a candidate for re-election, and will not under any circumstances, allow my name to be used, under present conditions. Durham, N. C., May 6—The commencement season at the National Training School here is on in full. The pathway leading to the school has been cemented, the campus put in tip-top order, making the entire surroundings of the institution one of the most beautiful to be found anywhere in the south. The season opened with tree planting by the class. The first literary character was an operetta given by the musical department. Sunday was a day of joy and inspiration to students, visitors and faculty. The commencement sermon was delivered at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon by the Rev. Dr. Joseph Hunter, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Newark, N. J. in the evening at 8 o'clock the chief attraction was Pres. Jas. E. Sheppard's address to the undergraduates, a patriotic song service and the final testimony meeting in which a large number took part. On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock the annual address to the joint Y. M. C. A. and W. W. C. A. was delivered by the Rev. Dr. John E. Ford, pastor of the Bethek Baptist Institutional Church, Jacksonville, Fla., Wednesday, May 8. Class Day Exercises were held, which included a play. At 8 o'clock in the evening the annual address to the joint Literary societies was delivered by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Editor of the Crisis Magazine, N. Y. Thursday, May 9. the program includes commencement day exercises at 11:30 a.m., with Dr. Dr. Courtland Myers passor of the Treasure Oratory. The department orator, Exhibits from the departments of domestic art and science were shown for two days and attracted much attention and received unstinted favorable comment from the visitors and friends of the school from near and far. A notable fact about the nation! Trailing school is that for three consecutive years, Dr. James E. Sheppard, its able and farsighted president has guided it through the year and closed the term without a deficit. This is a most remarkable piece of work and places President Sheppard in the front rank as a school executive. MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE Possibly few citizens of Nashville appreciate to its full worth the work that Meharry Medical College is doing for the Negro race. This institution is going quietly on its way sending out, yaer rafter year, graduates in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, who are serving their own people in a most acceptable way. Their graduates have been enlisted in the Medical Corps and are taking part in the fight for health and sanitation in the army camps at home as well as serving in the hospital work in France. There are only two leading schools of medicine in the United States which are conducted exclusively for the Negroes Howard University at Washington D. C., and the one in Nashville. Several other schools are attempting to conduct medical courses, but the modern demand for equipment, indorsements and scholarship in faculties have prevented these institutions from being recognized as meeting the requirements of the present-day medical college. The American Medical Association recognizes Howard and Maharashtra as the two schools doing work which are worthy to be continued among the Negroes. With the drafting of a large number of Negroes the demand for doctors to NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MAY 10, 1918.

Aarons, a graduate of the Medical class of 1917 of Mehary Medical College, returned to the city to be present during the commencement week at his Alma Mater, Dr. Aarons since his graduation has passed successfully the Florida State Board and entered upon his work at Appalachiacla. Fla He has also demonstrated his patriotism and loyalty to the country by offering his services to Uncle Sam, he received his commission as First Lieut. in the Medical Reserve Corps in the Army, As yet he has not been appointed any particular post of duty, but states he is ready and willing when the appointment comes. Dr. Aarons has met with success in his chosen field and states that he is endeavoring to do with his might what his hands find to do. He is a splendid young man, coming from one of the best families in Pensacola, and while a student at Mehairy, made an enviable record both in the class room and by his upright Christian bearing. It will be remembered that it was through the untiring effort of Dr. Aarons along with Dr. Whittier W. Wright, that Mehairy in 1917, although a strenuous year, got out his first school Annual. Dr. Aarons is one of the students for this splendid effort. His friends in Nashville who are many, wish him continued success. It is indeed a pleasure to see the young men go out from us and return, showing what they have accomplished and what can be done. Dr. Aarons intends to remain in the city for several days after which he will return by the way of Pensacola, spending several days at home and then return to his practice FULLER-WILLIAMS Invitations have just reached this city announcing the approaching marriage of Rev.

May is the last month of study and in fact examinations take place in May. If we expect to "go over the top" into an advance grade we must consecrate our mental capacities on our studies. Knowledge only yields to difficult study. Skimming over work and cramming never carry any one "over the top." In fact, it has too often been proven that the result is to the contrary. All students should endeavor to "go over the top" but especially do we appeal to the candidates for graduation to do their best to "go over the top." The seniors should never allow anything to deter them from their goal. In less than two months' time the roll of honor will be called, diplomas will be awarded and the successful students will have entered upon broader fields of life determined to "go over the top." Let no member of the class of '18 turn back. He that endureth until the end receives the reward. May all the seniors "go over the top" to success. —The Pearl High Voice. care for them will increase.

McDade removes from the active ministry and local ministerial ranks one of the most beloved and best gospel preachers. While we must all sooner or latter answer the summons of the dread sheriff of death and report our stewardship to the great head of the church, yet the of so young a man, so full of promise and useful possibilities, cannot but bring us to the valley of human sorrow. His was a life full of useful activities. For a minister of his age and educational abilities it would be hard to point out one whose successful record surpassed or even equaled his. The Arch Street Baptist Church of the city of Little Rock owes its splendid condition to his genius as a pastor. A splendid concrete structure just in the last stages of construction with a large and healthy membership stands to the everlasting credit of his powers and influences as a pastor. He, by his preaching ability and social pastoral mannerism, had welded his church to him in bands of affections soldom witnessed or found in these latter days. His approachableness and unbounded hospitality, his ever friendly disposition, drew about him and kept friends and admirers by the happy faculty of winsomeness in the pulpit, this grace added to his natural gift gift as a pulpit orator made him most acceptable as a preacher and among not a few he was the real favorite. He received more calls to pastor churches than he could by any means fill, resigning and refusing any charges here of late yearsowing to failing health. He was ambitious and courageous and thus lived much longer than many afflicted with similar maladies. His place in the ministerial circle will be hard to fill while his memory will ever linger in the hearts and minds of his many friends. His funeral attended by the ministers of the Union District Association of which he was treasurer bore striking testimony of the esteem and respect in which he was held by them. The ministers were out in hundreds and the general public in thousands to pay to this distinguished young divine their last tribute of respect. A noble lesson this to all ministers who labor hard and exert themselves extremely physically. The minister should so conserve his health that his usefulness could be spared to the general public. That we will meet again in the sweet Beulah land is the steadfast hope and faith.—The Editor. REV. H. A. BOYD, THE SUNDAY SCHOOL GENIUS, VISITS THE CITY OF ROSES. Rev. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd's visit to the city of Little Rock will long and pleasantly be remembered by the church-going people. He distinguished himself as an orator, scholar and trained thinker. His sermons both at the Mt. Pleasant Baptist and Collins Street Baptist Churches were master demonstrations of pulpit efficiency. But it was left to the Sunday school mass meeting at 3 p. m. at the First Baptist Church to bring from him his exclusive genius. His lecture on "Front Line Sunday Schools and How to Build them" was of the highest grade and would have been fit for a king's ear. It was indeed a masterpiece and showed preparation, skill and all that is necessary to put a great subject in the most impressive way to his great audience. He is indeed a worthy son of a great sire. We wonded not at the great and efficient strides of the Sunday School Congress. To hear Henry A. Boyd is sufficient testimony for its efficiency. The great amount of work necessary in the Sunday school, how to accomplish it, stuck to Sunday school workers of the city. It is the opinion of the editor of the People's Defender that the visit was one of the most profitable ever paid to our city by any of the great men of our race. Buying a Thrift Stamp is helping Gen.

A certain Army Captain, Rowan by name, we believe, is undergoing trial by court martial at Camp Pike for disobeying the orders given him by superior officer. It appears that he was ordered by his superior officer to order out his camp for some class of army maneuver that included both white and Negro troops or at least the order did not specifically separate the two races in the particular performance. This order of a superior officer so incensed and stirred the prejudice and false modesty and dignity, of you please, of this autocrat from some isolated district of Mississippi, until he flatly refused to obey the order of the government as represented by a regular and superior officer thereof. We suppose that this Captain had lived in these back woods districts, where the man was the most popular who could demonstrate the most hate for and heap the greatest amount of calumny upon the Negro. It is highly probably that he thought he would receive a promotion or at least a medal for heroism. Think of it. Men training and placing their lives upon the altar of the nation for its defense and honor and yet this man so small of soul and mind that he would interrupt and hinder an entire national policy with his fetid personality. He should be dismissed and punished severely for sedition. WITH THE JESTERS. WITH THE JESTERS. By Hale A. Woodruff. He Musta Been Napoleon.
